A vast starry sky phantom instantly enveloped the sea area.
Endless Power of Stars converged into a silver waterfall, cascading down!
True Lord Yuding's sword qi, the moment it touched the waterfall of starlight, melted like ice and snow, annihilating silently!
As for True Lord Taiyi's Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, it let out a mournful cry under the suppression of the majestic Power of Stars. The nine fire dragons were instantly scattered, their light dimming!
"What?!"
"Innately Supreme Treasure! Twenty-four of them... all Innately Supreme Treasures!!"
True Lord Yuding and True Lord Taiyi exclaimed in unison, their faces' arrogance and disdain instantly replaced by boundless shock and greed!
However, Zhao Gongming gave them no chance to react.
On his physical body, Chaos Qi flowed, and the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art roared to life. He completely ignored the lingering power of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, allowing the residual flames to scorch his body. Yet, not even his body's Chaos Shield could be shaken in the slightest!
"Today, I shall test the might of my Divine Pearls on you!"
His eyes turned cold, and he activated ten of the Divine Pearls, transforming them into ten blue streaks of light that tore through the firmament. Carrying the terrifying might of the Ten Directions Great Thousand Worlds crushing down, they shot directly towards True Lord Yuding!
In just ten rounds!
The whisk in True Lord Yuding's hand, a High-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure, shattered with a "crack" the instant it collided with the first Divine Pearl! He was utterly terrified and desperately unleashed all his magical treasures to defend himself, but they were smashed one by one by the successive Divine Pearls!
The last three Divine Pearls fiercely struck his Body-Protecting Immortal Light, directly causing him to spit blood and his meridians to rupture!
Meanwhile, on the other side, True Lord Taiyi was also injured by the aftermath of the other Divine Pearls, his face turning ashen.
As for the two vociferous Chan Sect disciples, the moment the All Heavens Star Array unfolded, they were so overwhelmed by the Supreme Treasure's pressure that their minds collapsed, and they directly fainted, falling from the sky.
Zhao Gongming retracted the Divine Pearls. They transformed back into warm, lustrous pearls, circling around him, dotted with starlight, making him appear like a Divine King in charge of the Galaxy.
He looked down from above at the disheveled, terrified True Lord Yuding and True Lord Taiyi, his voice icy cold, echoing through the dead silent sea area.
"If the Chan Sect provokes us again without reason, next time, it won't just be a severe injury!"
This statement, like eternal profound ice, froze every inch of space in the sea area.
True Lord Yuding and True Lord Taiyi trembled violently, a fear originating from the depths of their souls.
They gazed at the twenty-four Divine Pearls floating around Zhao Gongming, emitting an eternal aura, their greed long replaced by shock.
Innately Supreme Treasure! And twenty-four of them! How... how was this possible!
This completely subverted their understanding of Primordial World Spirit Treasures!
Even their teacher, Primordial Lord of Heaven, could never produce such a quantity of Supreme Treasures at once!
True Lord Yuding struggled to get up. The meridians within his body were like shattered porcelain, and every breath sent a heart-wrenching pain through him. He stared intently at Zhao Gongming, and for the first time, his stern, jade-like face showed an emotion called "regret."
He regretted it, regretting coming to seek trouble so carelessly, and even more so for treating the other party as a junior he could handle at will.
"You... how did you do it?" True Lord Yuding's voice was hoarse and dry, devoid of any of his previous arrogance.
Zhao Gongming's gaze was indifferent; he did not answer. He simply flicked his sleeve, and a gentle yet irresistible force swept up the two already unconscious Chan Sect disciples, pushing them, along with the severely injured True Lord Yuding and True Lord Taiyi, towards Kunlun.
"Scram."
A single word, like a decree from the Heavenly Dao, carried unquestionable authority.
Their immortal light dimmed, and the four disheveled figures, no longer daring to linger, transformed into a fleeing streak of light, tearing through the sky and desperately fleeing towards the Kunlun Mountain Range in the west.
They had arrived with soaring momentum, stirring up winds for thousands of miles!
They left like stray dogs, not even daring to look back.
Zhao Gongming stood quietly on the sea border, watching them depart, his eyes deep and unruffled. He did not kill them, not out of soft-heartedness. The Great Tribulation had not yet begun, and the Heavenly Secrets were still unclear. If he were to kill Chan Sect Golden Immortals now, it would inevitably incur the wrath of a Saint, completely escalating the conflict between the Three Sects and disrupting all his plans.
Today's action was to establish authority, and also a warning. He wanted to make it clear to the Chan Sect, and indeed all forces in the Primordial World coveting the Jiejiao Sect, that Jin'ao Island was not a place anyone could come to cause trouble!
He slowly retracted the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, and the terrifying pressure that suppressed the heavens dissipated. The sea surface returned to calm, as if the earth-shattering battle that had just occurred had never happened.
And this scene had already been clearly transmitted back to Jin'ao Island through the divine senses and Water Mirror Technique of countless Jiejiao disciples.
The entire Jin'ao Island was first silent as death, and then erupted in mountain-shattering cheers!
"Senior Brother Gongming is mighty!"
"Hahaha! Well fought! Let's see if those Chan Sect people dare to be so arrogant in the future!"
"One against two, crushing two late-stage Golden Immortal mighty figures! Senior Brother Gongming is truly the number one Outer Sect disciple of our Jiejiao Sect!"
Countless Outer Sect Disciples' faces were flushed with excitement. They looked at the figure returning from the sea border with eyes full of fanatical worship and awe.
At this moment, Zhao Gongming's image in their hearts had been elevated to an unprecedented level. He was not only the pride of the Jiejiao Sect but also the spiritual pillar of all Outer Sect disciples!
Zhao Gongming acted as if he heard none of this. His figure flickered, and he returned to the front of his Cave Abode. He nodded slightly at the Junior Brothers and Sisters who had come to welcome him, then walked directly into his Cave Abode and activated the restrictions.
The clamor outside was irrelevant to him; a string in his heart remained taut.
Although he had won today, he had also exposed a mere tip of the iceberg of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.
Innately Supreme Treasures stirred hearts. He could imagine that countless eyes were now greedily watching him from all corners of the Primordial World.
Just as he was pondering, a gentle yet immensely authoritative voice seemed to transcend time and space, directly sounding in his heart lake.
"Zhao Gongming, come to Biyou Palace to see me."
It's Master, Sect Master Tongtian!
Zhao Gongming's heart tightened, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. He immediately tidied his robes, respectfully walked out of his Cave Abode, transformed into a streak of immortal light, and flew towards the ancient, magnificent palace at the center of Jin'ao Island.
Within Biyou Palace, Chaos Qi permeated the air, and Great Dao Runes floated and sank. Sect Master Tongtian remained seated on the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform, his surrounding Sword Intent retracted, making him appear even more unfathomable, as if he himself were a Universe, containing the supreme power of World Creation.
"Disciple Zhao Gongming greets Master! May Master's longevity be boundless!" Zhao Gongming bowed deeply, performing the great disciple's rite.
"Rise," Sect Master Tongtian's voice carried a hint of imperceptible approval. His eyes, which seemed capable of piercing through all ages and time, fell upon Zhao Gongming, as if scrutinizing him, or perhaps filled with emotion.
