As Ye Xuan prepared to step in and block the residual might in the West, the assembled Innate God-Demons turned their gazes toward him.
Seeing that Ye Xuan's strength had already reached the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, they couldn't help drawing in sharp breaths.
After making a deduction, they discovered that he had never gone to the Purple Cloud Palace to hear the Supreme Great Dao, yet had still reached the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage. They couldn't help feeling shocked.
Inside Kunlun Mountain, Laozi and the others were speechless after deducing Ye Xuan's Innate Foundation.
"Heroes of the world are as numerous as fish crossing a river!"
Tongtian Sect Master wore a look of shock. He had been conceived alongside Daoist Zhunti, yet relied on no one else and had reached the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage entirely through his own efforts. How powerful was Ye Xuan's talent?
Even Primordial Heavenly Venerate, standing beside him, was speechless.
After thinking it over, Primordial Heavenly Venerate finally asked, "Eldest Brother, do you think Daoist Jieyin can withstand this attack?"
Laozi fell into thought as well. He shook his head before replying, "With the power of the boundless stars, they formed a great formation. This attack is already comparable to that of a Sage. Even a mere trace of its residual might is beyond what an ordinary Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage cultivator can withstand. And the Twelve Ancestral Witches summoned a phantom of Father God, giving them the power of a Sage!"
"The residual might produced by the two forces combined is even more powerful."
Tongtian Sect Master and Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded in agreement.
While everyone was chatting, Ye Xuan made his move. A ruler appeared in his hand and rose into the Vault of Heaven.
The Heaven Measuring Ruler!
The Twenty-Four Mysterious Runes upon it shone brightly, and an aura that made all Daos yield radiated from this Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Facing the Supreme Destruction Qi, which could annihilate even a Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage cultivator, Ye Xuan remained calm.
"Stabilize!"
He swept out his hand. The Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heaven Measuring Ruler, blazed with divine light, stabilizing the power of the Endless Void and the boundless Destruction Qi.
The Destruction Qi had been violently turbulent, capable of splitting the world apart and freezing the Power of Time along with it. But before the Heaven Measuring Ruler's profound might, it was like it had crashed into a Dao Barrier. It could advance no farther.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan let out a breath of relief.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure was the strongest one in Ye Xuan's possession. Though he appeared utterly composed, he had already used nearly every means at his disposal: the power of the Rebirth Aspect, the Innate Spiritual Treasure Heaven Measuring Ruler, and even a trace of the mysteries of Karma.
Only the Three Thousand Heavens remained unused. This Dao Fruit was the strongest card in Ye Xuan's hand, and he had kept it hidden.
He was merely saving someone. Ye Xuan had no intention of revealing his true strength.
"Crack!"
As he was thinking, a cracking sound rang out from the Endless Void.
Above the Nine Heavens, the Demon Emperor was drawing on the boundless Star Power, intent on defeating the Twelve Ancestral Witches in one blow.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches, meanwhile, were relying on the boundless Innate Filthy Qi beneath the earth, hoping to cleave open the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation in a single strike.
If the two sides continued to remain locked in a stalemate, Ye Xuan still wouldn't be able to withstand this trace of a Sage's Residual Might!
Yet Ye Xuan remained calm as he watched.
Five-Colored Divine Light shimmered in his hand. A stream of Innate Ji Earth Qi blazed with divine light, displaying boundless mysteries.
With a mere sweep of his hand, it merged into the boundless Destruction Qi.
Innate Ji Earth Qi was one of the Ten Heavenly Stems. It belonged to Yin Earth and had the wondrous ability to harmonize yin and yang and return the clear and turbid to their proper places. Steady and centered, it represented the Way of Balance among the Three Thousand Great Daos.
When this supreme divine light entered the boundless Destruction Qi, it threw the two forces out of balance. In an instant, the pressure on the Heaven Measuring Ruler was reduced by more than half.
The assembled Innate God-Demons stared in stunned disbelief.
They had never seen this Supreme Great Divine Ability before, but they could tell it was a Five Elements Great Divine Ability.
Yet with just the power of earth, how could he wield the mysteries of other Supreme Great Daos?
Inside Mount Wanshou, Ancestor Hong Yun watched with a grave expression. He turned to Zhenyuanzi and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, can you tell what mystery he's using?"
Zhenyuanzi gave a bitter smile. Although he mainly cultivated the Great Dao of Earth, he truly couldn't see what means Ye Xuan was using.
"This fellow Daoist's cultivation is far too profound. I can't see through him at all."
Daoist Hongyun was also shocked. Others might not know, but he knew his old friend had long since mastered roughly thirty percent of the Laws of Earth. Yet he still couldn't see through the other man's divine ability.
And it wasn't just his mastery of the Way of Laws. His strength had already reached the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, a level above even the Demon Emperor. It was truly astonishing.
It wasn't just Zhenyuanzi and the others. Every Innate God-Demon wore a grave expression as they watched.
Not one of the Innate God-Demons could withstand an attack this powerful, even if it was only a trace of its residual might. Even Emperor Taiyi, who held an Innate Supreme Treasure, was no exception.
And yet Ye Xuan had stopped it. It seemed the title of strongest beneath the Sages would change hands once more. This one of the West's only two Innate God-Demons was the foremost among them!
Inside Kunlun Mountain, Laozi and the others were speechless when they saw this.
After deducing how he had used the Great Dao of Earth to reveal the mysteries of the Way of Balance, Laozi and the others were at a loss.
"Roar!"
While everyone was still reeling, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were on the verge of collapse. The Demon Emperor and the others were pale as paper, while the Pangu True Body let out an angry roar, ready to swing one final axe.
The Pangu True Body had grown dim, which made it clear that this final strike would be even more powerful.
Both sides had nearly exhausted their mana, but neither dared stop. If the other side landed a hit, they would collapse in an instant, left with no means to fight back.
The next moment, a great Dao resonance rang out from the Vault of Heaven. Boundless purple qi descended, and the manifestations of a Sage filled the world.
A Daoist appeared between the two sides.
It was the Dao Ancestor!
He looked at the enormous phantom axe and the stars radiating boundless Destruction Qi, then raised his hand and sent out a beam of divine light.
It was merely a casual strike, yet both great formations collapsed completely.
Everyone involved vomited blood, their auras weakening.
But when they saw who had intervened, they hurriedly bowed.
"Dao Ancestor!"
Ignoring the Demon Emperor and the others, the Dao Ancestor's face showed a trace of cold indifference as he issued his command.
"From this day forth, Demons Rule the Heavens and Witches Control the Earth. There shall be no fighting for ten Yuanhui!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Demon Emperor's group changed expressions and were about to speak. But remembering how a single strike from the Dao Ancestor had shattered their supreme formations, they could only answer,
"Yes, Dao Ancestor. We obey!"
Once he had settled the matter, the Dao Ancestor turned his gaze toward the West, purple qi spreading around him, and headed there.
Ye Xuan paid this no mind. He bore the West's supreme Power of Karma. If the other man wanted to become the Spokesperson of Heavenly Dao, he wouldn't make a move against him.
As Ye Xuan was thinking, another electronic sound rang in his ears.
