Long Zang stared coldly at the three, his gaze sharp as a blade, as if it could cleave heaven and earth.
"Did Luohu send you?" His voice was icy, touched with mockery.
Azure Heaven's expression was grave.
They knew exactly who Long Zang was.
A monster even Demon Ancestor Luohu found troublesome, a being born solely for battle!
Though the Three Heavens might not be without a chance if they joined forces, stopping Long Zang still put them under immense pressure.
Long Zang knew the Three Heavens' true nature very well.
They were merely innate beings. Though they styled themselves as the Heavenly Dao's spokesmen, they still had the seven emotions and six desires, and were far from the truly supreme and impartial Heavenly Dao.
As for the so-called "Heavenly Dao's grand scheme," it likely wouldn't work against him at all.
"Looks like this won't end peacefully." A fierce glint flashed in Long Zang's eyes. The Destruction Battle Halberd appeared in his hand, and killing intent surged skyward.
The Three Heavens said no more. The Power of Heavenly Punishment erupted!
Three Heavenly Dao Dharma Wheels spun behind them, while a colossal purple-gold eye, spanning countless billions of miles, appeared in the void.
"Eye of Heavenly Punishment, manifest!" Azure Heaven shouted.
An endless sea of thunder churned as purple-gold lightning of destruction rained down from the sky.
A single bolt could destroy an entire world!
Now, countless bolts fell at once, and it seemed the whole world would be buried beneath that sea of thunder.
Lightning illuminated heaven and earth, swallowing Long Zang's figure.
Thunder coiled around him, as if it would reduce him to ashes.
"Did it work?" A flicker of delight crossed Cyan Heaven's eyes.
After all, this was Long Zang. It was hard to believe they could trap him so easily.
Yet unease rose in Azure Heaven's heart.
Long Zang's reputation was no empty boast.
If he could be suppressed so easily, he wouldn't deserve to be called Luohu's greatest threat.
Sure enough!
Eternal Light burst forth from the sea of thunder.
It was the undying, indestructible radiance of divinity, shining through past and present as it tore the void apart.
Long Zang strode out, holding his great halberd, divine light circling his body. The thunder, however, vanished with every step he took!
"Hey, is that all you've got?" Long Zang's voice was cold. He looked down on the Three Heavens as if they were a group of ants.
Not even Destruction Divine Thunder could shake his body!
That was the Immortal and Undying Demonic Body, the pinnacle of a body infused with the Destruction Great Dao down to its bones and blood.
The Three Heavens' expressions darkened abruptly.
At last, they understood: they had underestimated Long Zang and overestimated themselves.
Stopping him would inevitably cost them blood!
Long Zang suddenly appeared before Azure Heaven, his fist forming as radiance surged like countless Great Suns rising at once.
"BOOM!!!"
His fist came down, and the will of destruction swept across the eight directions.
Azure Heaven's body shattered in an instant, and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment disintegrated with it!
"You're not enough." Long Zang spoke coldly, his voice lofty, like a judge pronouncing the fate of all things through past and present.
His great halberd swept across the sky, piercing the Nine Heavens Ten Lands and dominating the ages.
Yellow Heaven and Cyan Heaven fought with everything they had, yet still followed in Azure Heaven's footsteps.
They weren't weak. Long Zang was simply too strong!
Before this path of pure physical supremacy and offense, their balanced approach was meaningless.
Long Zang's power dominated the ages!
Such was the terrifying gap between them and the summit.
Heaven could not destroy him, earth could not bury him. His undying Demonic Body had long since surpassed the laws of the Primordial World!
"Run!!"
Azure Heaven's divine soul trembled, his voice thick with barely restrained fear.
He seized Yellow Heaven and Cyan Heaven, sacrificing their primordial essence to forcibly tear through space-time and flee in panic.
Long Zang only smiled coldly.
He didn't pursue them.
In his eyes, no matter how strong the Three Heavens were, they were nothing but irritating buffoons.
The true danger lay deep within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, in that forbidden land where a sea of blood and sword light churned.
Within the sword formation.
Yuan Huang, Ancestor Dragon, and First Kirin were battered, but with their supreme treasures in hand and their clans' fortunes linked to theirs, they could still struggle to hold on.
Shen Ni and Luohu clearly had the greater strength, yet they still couldn't finish the three of them.
Why?
Because the two were also wary of each other.
Shen Ni knew that Luohu acted without restraint and never considered the consequences.
He had actually dared to spread the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation across the entire Central Great Domain, condemning countless living beings to die with it.
Such a mad act said everything.
If they truly fought until both sides were badly wounded, would Luohu turn around and use him as a blood sacrifice to refine a spiritual treasure?
Shen Ni didn't dare take that gamble.
His ambition was to become the Co-Lord of the Primordial World, but he had no intention of becoming someone else's stepping stone.
And Luohu?
He was wary as well.
His alliance with Shen Ni was merely a temporary expedient.
Once Yuan Huang and the other two fell, Shen Ni—the ambitious Beast Emperor—would very likely turn on him next!
So he held back, too.
And so, what should have been a life-or-death battle became a contest of mutual probing.
This delicate balance gave Yuan Huang and the others a chance to catch their breath.
They had naturally seen through it, and secretly felt relieved: at least these two Demonic Heads weren't truly united.
And yet, at that very moment...
The void quaked, and a figure slowly walked into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
The instant that aura appeared, Luohu's eye twitched uncontrollably.
As expected, the person he least wanted to see had arrived after all.
Long Zang!
"How lively. You didn't even invite me?"
Long Zang's voice held a hint of mockery, but boundless killing intent flickered in his eyes as he glared at Luohu.
"Luohu, if you want a fight, just come to me."
In the next instant, he appeared before Luohu. His great halberd came crashing down, destruction pouring forth like a raging river!
Fire blazed in Luohu's eyes.
A Black Lotus bloomed beneath his feet, and the Twelve-grade Destruction Black Lotus appeared, its profound light shielding him.
At the same time, the World-Ending Millstone flew out, heavy beyond measure, as if it could suppress all the heavens!
He formed a hand seal, and Chaos sword energy turned into a river that crashed down!
Long Zang only bared his teeth in a grin.
A savage, ancient aura surfaced around him, deep and primordial, like the very beginning of Origin.
Eternal Divine Light shone, making him look like a Chaos Demon God.
Endless sword energy poured down and struck Long Zang, yet all it produced were brilliant Great Dao Flowers.
Each flower was like the birth and destruction of a world, dazzling yet terrifying.
"Luohu, your Immortal Slaying Sword Formation still needs work."
A fierce glint blazed in Long Zang's eyes. His great halberd came down, and heaven and earth collapsed!
BOOM!!!
The Black Lotus's profound light shattered, and Luohu's body was blasted into the endless currents of the void.
The sight made Ancestor Dragon, First Kirin, and Shen Ni's scalps tingle.
Only two words remained in their minds... Unbelievable!
That body was simply defying the heavens!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation's river of sword energy should have been powerful enough to pierce through the ages, yet Long Zang had taken it head-on like an eternal, undying god!
He was practically a Chaos Demon God reborn!
Luohu returned from the currents, his face dark and his eyes burning with boundless Demonic Nature.
"Great Freedom Heavenly Demon!"
With his furious roar, boundless demonic sound shook the heavens and crossed countless spans of space-time.
Wherever the sound passed, countless billions of living beings lost control of their minds, fell into depravity, and became consumed by murderous intent.
This was a forbidden Divine Ability that struck directly at the primordial spirit!
Long Zang raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Quiet!"
Destructive energy erupted!
"Eternal Heavens Great Annihilation!!!"
