"???"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"???"
The Three Pure Ones.
"???"
Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi.
Every powerhouse was stunned, utterly bewildered.
What did this mean?
You Heavenly Court actually want to hog it all for yourselves?
A bunch of ants like these give you that kind of confidence?
"Are you joking?"
Zhen Yuanzi's hand, stroking his beard, trembled slightly, as if filled with disbelief.
Weng!!!
The Three Pure Ones, without a word, directly sacrificed their respective treasures.
Profound Yellow Merit cascaded down like a waterfall, and a small golden pagoda, seemingly containing the epitome of countless worlds and bearing unparalleled might, took its place.
Yin and Yang Qi split the primordial chaos like a blade, great offensive arts evolved into myriad chaotic domains, and ultimate slaughter gave rise to a floating pagoda.
The number one defensive treasure of the acquired realm—the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!
The two supreme-grade innate supreme treasures born from Pangu's Axe—the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner!
The number one killing treasure of the Primordial Wilderness—the Four Swords of Zhu Xian!
"My Zhu Xian Sword Formation cannot be broken within the same realm without four people. None of you need to act. With just us Three Pure Ones, you won't be our match. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches had no intention of monopolizing things. Are you Heavenly Court folks serious?" Shangqing said calmly, pointing at the Four Swords of Zhu Xian before him and the faintly visible Zhu Xian Formation Diagram.
"We'll find out if we try," Taiyi said with a smile. A phrase his elder brother had once casually spoken surfaced in his mind, and he cleared his throat. "Ahead lies the sacred ground of the Heavenly Court. Immortals and gods, halt. Everyone, will you retreat or fight?"
"..."
Everyone.
Heavenly Court, your mother!
The moment the treasures appeared, this became your territory?
Your Heavenly Court sure has some impressive authority!
Everyone looked at Taiyi and the others as if they were a bunch of lunatics.
Have they lost their minds?
Mm, they must have.
Hong!!!
The Three Pure Ones couldn't be bothered with more words. Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing struck simultaneously.
The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda expanded endlessly, divine prohibitions spreading across its surface as if its full power had been unleashed, turning into a Profound Yellow waterfall that cascaded around the three of them.
The Taiji Diagram sprayed vast amounts of Yin and Yang Qi, evolving into myriad phenomena and domains that enveloped all the Heavenly Court's powerhouses.
The Pangu Banner constructed great offensive arts, as if wondrous methods and all Daos were manifested one by one, transforming into boundless killing intent that surged toward every corner of the Heavenly Court.
The four swords—Zhu Xian, Lu Xian, Xian Xian, and Jue Xian—blazed with sword light. The formation diagram covered the sky, and the sword array rose, directly enveloping Nuwa, Taiyi, and the many Heavenly Court battle generals.
Seeing the Three Pure Ones make their move, the other powerhouses were happy to take it easy. They all watched the show with amused smiles, their eyes full of mockery as they began discussing how many moves it would take for the Heavenly Court to be wiped out. Their gazes occasionally flickered toward the void.
Was Di Jun still not showing himself?
"We're being underestimated," Taiyi remarked. "Then let's show them."
War?
Then let it be war!
Hong!!!
The Chaos Bell operated at its peak, and the Yao Emperor's position faintly appeared between Taiyi's brows.
In the unseen realm, it seemed as if the boundless willing power of the Demon Race was blessing him, as if conceptual roots were being traced. His entire aura, in that moment, continuously transformed and elevated, reaching a supreme sublimation. From the void, one could constantly hear the chants and words of worship and homage.
Nuwa's eyes closed briefly, then opened. A divine light seemed to flow in her gaze. Streams of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire surged and evolved behind her, as if with a single thought she could open countless worlds. In an instant, innumerable realms bowed and lent their support.
Her plain white robes, under the blessing of these myriad worlds, seemed to flutter in the wind. Her cold, peerlessly beautiful face was filled with majesty. In that moment, Nuwa transformed into a supreme empress, as if she were the sovereign of all heavens. Every gesture and movement contained terrifying might.
Not only that, but behind the two of them, a lofty, immortal resonance seemed to flow faintly, as if an unimaginable will was slowly awakening. Even just a wisp of it seemed to contain a power that made the entire world tremble.
"What kind of Dao is this!?"
The great powers who had been watching from the sidelines seemed to sense something, their expressions shifting as their pupils contracted.
"Break!"
"Break!"
A single finger breaks ten thousand laws; a single word holds heavenly decree!
Taiyi pointed a finger, and the Chaos Bell empowered the myriad arts of the Demon Dao, charging straight at the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
Nuwa spoke with heavenly authority, waving her hand as the Red Embroidered Ball and the Map of Mountains and Rivers blotted out the sky, infinite human path power infused within them, a deep devouring force emerging as if to swallow the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner whole.
Boom!!!
Though but an instant, it spanned immeasurable time. Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing also sensed something amiss, immediately offering up more magic treasures, their hands already forming seals for a counterattack.
In that single breath, the five had fought over a billion times, myriad wondrous arts appearing together, infinite divine light shining forth. The very rules of this region were altered, the vast sound transcending the realm of reality, visible only in the void above as layer after layer of heavens collapsed.
In a flash, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation seemed to wail in lament. Zhu Xian, Lu Xian, Xian Xian, and Jue Xian swords dimmed and flew back into Shangqing's hands.
The Taiji Diagram's yin and yang energies were utterly drained, the Pangu Banner's offensive power completely dissipated. Many spiritual treasures had lost their luster, and some even showed cracks in their divine prohibitions on the surface.
"This is impossible!"
"What kind of art is this!?"
"One man breaking my Zhu Xian Sword Formation at the same realm!?"
Even Taiqing, usually aloof and indifferent, was no longer calm. Yuqing and Shangqing were nearly driven to madness, their minds buzzing, eyes filled with disbelief.
"What in the world is the Heavenly Court!?"
Let alone the Three Pure Ones, even the Twelve Ancestral Witches and others had shock in their eyes. Their previously smiling expressions gradually froze, turning solemn and cautious.
And the Primordial Great Powers who had cast divine thoughts toward the anomaly at Mount Buzhou all caught their breath. The immortal thoughts that had been rippling faintly in the sky came to a halt.
This whole realm seemed to fall silent in that moment. Everyone was stunned by the strength of Taiyi and Nuwa, their minds going blank.
"Gentlemen, do we now have the qualifications to monopolize this?"
Taiyi said slowly.
"Attack together."
Di Jiang's expression returned to calm as he spoke gravely.
Buzz!!!
Seeing the Heavenly Court's true foundation, the crowd no longer underestimated or grew careless. Their gazes turned heavy, all their Dao fruits operating at their peak, brand-like Dao imprints emerging on their brows.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches manifested their true forms, their bodies towering billions upon billions of zhang, making even the world seem minuscule before them.
Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing, Hong Yun, and Zhen Yuanzi also offered up all their treasures. Without hesitation or further words, countless hand seals were formed, divine abilities and techniques fully unleashed, all striking directly at the Heavenly Court's experts.
"Raise the formation."
Fuxi, who had been watching coldly and observing in silence, raised his hand slightly and spoke coldly.
"A formation?"
"So that's why they brought so many ants."
"Is this where the Heavenly Court's confidence comes from?"
"Ants are ants after all. What use are more of them? Do they think their so-called formation can defy heaven?"
Whether present or watching from the shadows, all eyes flashed with sharp light as they understood why the Heavenly Court's high ranks had brought so many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. A hint of disdain crept in.
Ants are ants. No matter how many, they're still ants. What, do they think their formation can overturn heaven?
Not even a dog would believe that!
Of course, thinking was one thing; they still gave due respect. The strength the Heavenly Court had just displayed was worthy of it. Reality wasn't a novel—there wouldn't be that much mindless stupidity.
But what they couldn't imagine was that the power of this formation was destined to exceed their wildest expectations!
