Looking into the West, Ye Xuan prepared to act, blocking this residual force. A crowd of Innate God-Demons cast their gazes toward him.
Seeing that Ye Xuan's strength had already risen to the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, they all drew sharp breaths.
After making some calculations, they realized he had not gone to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the supreme Dao, yet still ascended to Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage. A wave of shock washed over them.
Inside Kunlun Mountain, after deducing Ye Xuan's Innate Foundation, Laozi and the others fell silent.
"Heroes of heaven and earth truly come like fish crossing a river!"
Tongtian Sect Master's face showed a trace of shock. Born together with Daoist Zhunti, yet relying on no one else, achieving Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage entirely on his own—how formidable was his talent?
Beside him, even Primordial Heavenly Venerate was speechless.
After a moment of thought, Primordial Heavenly Venerate spoke: "Eldest Brother, do you think Daoist Jieyin could block this strike?"
Hearing this, Laozi's face showed a contemplative expression. He shook his head before replying: "Using the boundless power of stars to set up a great formation, this strike's force can already rival a Saint. Even if only a trace of residual power remains, it is not something an ordinary Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage can withstand. Moreover, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, by summoning a faint projection of our Father, also possess Saint-level power!"
"When the two combine, the residual force they produce is even greater."
Beside him, Tongtian Sect Master and Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded in agreement.
As the group chatted, Ye Xuan made his move. In his hand, a ruler was offered up into the Vault of Heaven.
The Heaven Measuring Ruler!
Upon it, the Twenty-Four Mysterious Runes shimmered, and an aura of Ten Thousand Daos Yield emanated from this Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Facing the Supreme Destruction Qi, capable of annihilating even a Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, his expression remained calm.
"Still!"
With a wave of his hand, the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heaven Measuring Ruler blazed with divine light, freezing the boundless void and the endless Destruction Qi.
The rampaging force of destruction, which could split heaven and earth and freeze the Power of Time itself, collided with the Heaven Measuring Ruler's mystery like striking a Dao Barrier, unable to push through any further.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure was the most powerful one in Ye Xuan's possession. Though his face showed composure, he had already used every trick up his sleeve—the power of the Rebirth Aspect, the Heaven Measuring Ruler, and even a trace of Karma's mystery.
Only the Three Thousand Heavens had not been used. That Dao Fruit was his strongest card, and he had not brought it out.
He was merely saving someone; Ye Xuan had no intention of exposing himself.
"Crack!"
As he pondered, a cracking sound came from the endless void.
Above the Nine Heavens, the Demon Emperor was drawing boundless Star Power, aiming to take down the Twelve Ancestral Witches in one fell swoop.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches, relying on the endless Innate Filthy Qi from the earth, sought to cleave through the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation in a single blow.
If the two sides remained deadlocked, Ye Xuan would not be able to hold back this Saint-level residual force!
Watching this, Ye Xuan's face remained calm.
In his hand, the Five-Colored Divine Light shimmered, and a strand of Innate Ji Earth Qi blazed with divine radiance, revealing boundless mystery.
With a wave of his hand, it merged into the endless Destruction Qi.
Innate Ji Earth Qi, one of the Ten Heavenly Stems, belonged to Yin Earth. It held the power to harmonize Yin and Yang, to separate the clear and turbid, and to store with balance. Among the Three Thousand Great Daos, it represented the Way of Balance.
As this supreme divine light entered the endless Destruction Qi, it directly upset the balance between the two forces. In an instant, the pressure on the Heaven Measuring Ruler lessened by more than half.
Seeing this, the various Innate God-Demons stared in stunned silence.
Though they had never seen this supreme divine ability before, they could tell it was a Five Elements Great Divine Ability.
But relying on a single Earth-element power to manifest the mystery of other supreme Daos?
Inside Mount Wanshou, Old Ancestor Hongyun watched with a grave expression. He turned to Daoist Zhenyuanzi and asked:
"Daoist Zhenyuanzi, can you tell what mystery he is using?"
Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi gave a bitter smile. Though he specialized in the Great Dao of Earth, he truly could not discern Ye Xuan's methods.
"This Daoist's cultivation is too profound. I cannot see through him at all."
Beside him, Daoist Hongyun's face showed shock. Others might not know, but he did—his old friend had already grasped about thirty percent of the Law of Earth, yet he could not even see through another's divine ability.
Moreover, it was not just in the Way of Laws. Ye Xuan's strength had already reached Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, a full tier above the Demon Emperor. Truly astonishing.
It was not only Zhenyuanzi and the others. Every Innate God-Demon present wore a solemn expression.
Such a powerful attack, even with only a trace of residual force, none among the Innate God-Demons could block it—not even Emperor Taiyi, wielding the Innate Supreme Treasure.
Yet Ye Xuan had stopped it. It seemed the title of strongest under the Saints would change hands. This lone Innate God-Demon from the West was now the foremost among them!
Inside Kunlun Mountain, seeing this, Laozi and the others fell silent again.
This use of the Great Dao of Earth to manifest the mystery of the Way of Balance—even after deducing it, Laozi and the others were at a loss.
"Roar!"
As the crowd reeled in shock, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were reaching their limit. The Demon Emperor and his allies were pale as paper, and the Pangu True Body let out a furious roar, preparing to swing its final axe.
From the dim, fading light on the Pangu True Body, it was clear that this axe strike would be even more powerful.
Both sides had already exhausted their spiritual power, but neither dared to stop. If the other side landed a hit, they would crumble instantly, with no strength left to fight back.
Next moment, a resonant hum of the Great Dao echoed across the Vault of Heaven, endless purple qi cascaded down, and sage omens filled heaven and earth.
A Daoist appeared between the two sides.
It was none other than the Dao Ancestor!
Gazing at the colossal axe shadow and the star radiating boundless annihilation, he raised a hand and shot forth a beam of divine light.
A mere casual strike, and both grand formations crumbled entirely.
Every participant spat out mouthfuls of blood, their auras wilting in an instant.
Yet, seeing who had struck, they hurriedly bowed and said, "Dao Ancestor!"
Ignoring the Demon Emperor and the others, the Dao Ancestor's face flickered with a trace of mercilessness as he issued his decree.
"From this day forth, Demons Rule the Heavens, Witches Control the Earth. For ten Yuanhui, no war shall be waged!"
Hearing this, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Demon Emperor's party changed expressions. They were about to speak, but recalling how the Dao Ancestor had shattered their supreme formations with a single blow, they could only reply, "Yes, Dao Ancestor. We obey!"
Having settled the matter, the Dao Ancestor's eyes turned toward the West, where purple qi spread, and he headed in that direction.
Watching this, Ye Xuan paid it no mind. On him lay the supreme Power of Karma from the West. If the other wished to become the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson, he would not make a move against Ye Xuan.
Just as Ye Xuan was pondering, another Electronic Sound rang out in his ear.
