"???"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"???"
The Three Pure Ones.
"???"
Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi.
All the mighty experts were stunned, completely dumbfounded.
What did this mean?
Did the Heavenly Court really intend to monopolize everything?
Did a bunch of ants really give them that much confidence?
"Are you joking?"
Zhen Yuanzi's hand, which rested on his beard, trembled slightly. He looked utterly incredulous.
Buzz!!!
The Three Pure Ones didn't waste a word. They immediately brought out their respective treasures.
Profound Yellow Merit poured down like a surging waterfall. A golden pagoda, seemingly containing countless worlds and boundless power, appeared.
Yin and yang energies split apart the primordial cosmos. A mighty offensive technique evolved into the chaotic realms, while the ultimate killing power raised a pagoda.
The foremost defensive treasure of the acquired treasures, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda!
The two Supreme Grade Innate Supreme Treasures transformed from the Pangu Axe: the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner!
The Primordial Wilderness's foremost Killing Treasure, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian!
"My Zhu Xian Sword Formation can only be broken by four opponents of equal cultivation. There's no need for anyone else to act. The three of us alone will be more than enough to defeat you. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches have no intention of monopolizing everything. Are you Heavenly Court folk really serious?"
Shangqing gestured toward the Four Swords of Zhu Xian before him and the faintly visible Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, speaking calmly.
"Why not find out?"
Taiyi smiled. His elder brother's offhand remark surfaced in his mind, and he coughed before saying, "This is an important site of the Heavenly Court. Immortals and gods, halt! Everyone, will you retreat or fight?"
"."
Everyone.
Heavenly Court, my ass!
The moment the treasures appeared, this place became your territory?
What a mighty show of authority you're putting on!
Everyone looked at Taiyi and the others as if they were a bunch of lunatics.
Had they gone mad?
Well, they probably had!
Boom!!!
The Three Pure Ones couldn't be bothered to waste any more words. Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing attacked at the same time.
The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda continued to expand. Divine Restrictions spread across its surface, and its full power seemed to awaken as a waterfall of profound yellow energy descended around the three of them.
The Taiji Diagram spilled forth vast quantities of yin and yang energy, evolving into myriad realms that enveloped every powerful figure of the Heavenly Court.
The Pangu Banner conjured a mighty offensive technique. Mysterious arts and All Daos manifested one after another, turning into an endless killing aura that surged toward every part of the Heavenly Court.
The Zhu Xian, Lu Xian, Xian Xian, and Jue Xian swords blazed with sword light. The formation diagram covered the sky, and the sword formation rose, enveloping Nuwa, Taiyi, and the many Heavenly Court generals.
Seeing the Three Pure Ones make their move, the other experts were happy to sit back and watch. They all grinned, their eyes full of mockery, and began discussing how many moves it would take to wipe out the Heavenly Court. From time to time, they also glanced toward the void.
Was Di Jun still not going to show himself?
"We're being underestimated," Taiyi remarked with a sigh. "Then let's show them what we can do!"
Fight?
Then fight!
Boom!!!
The Chaos Bell's power surged to its limit, and the Yao Emperor's status flickered into view between Taiyi's brows.
In the unseen depths, the wishes of countless demons seemed to gather around him. As the very source of a concept took shape, his aura continually transformed and rose, as if reaching the utmost sublimation. Songs of praise and worship seemed to echo through the void.
Nuwa closed her eyes, then opened them. Divine light seemed to flow through her gaze, while Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire churned and evolved behind her, as if a single thought could create countless worlds. In an instant, innumerable worlds bowed their heads and lent her their power.
Her faintly visible white robes fluttered as if caught in a breeze, bolstered by the myriad worlds. Her beautiful, aloof face seemed filled with majesty. At that moment, Nuwa appeared to have become an exalted empress, a ruler of the myriad heavens whose every gesture held terrifying power.
What was more, a lofty, eternal aura flowed faintly behind the two of them, as if an unimaginable will were slowly awakening. Even a mere sliver of it seemed to possess enough power to make the entire world tremble.
"What kind of Dao is this?!"
The mighty experts who had been watching the show sensed something was amiss. Their expressions changed, and their pupils contracted.
"Break!"
"Break!"
One finger shattered ten thousand arts; one word carried the Heavenly Constitution!
Taiyi pointed, and with the Chaos Bell empowering the myriad arts of the Demon Dao, he charged straight at the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
Nuwa spoke with the authority of the Heavenly Constitution. With a wave of her hand, the Red Embroidered Ball and the Map of Mountains and Rivers blotted out the sky. The power of the human race poured into them, giving rise to a profound devouring force that seemed poised to swallow the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner whole.
Boom!!!
Though only a single breath had passed, an immeasurable span of time seemed to have elapsed. Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing sensed that something was wrong and immediately brought out more treasures. Their hands were already forming seals to strike back.
In that single breath, the five of them had already clashed more than a hundred million times. Countless marvelous arts appeared, boundless divine light shone everywhere, and the laws of this region were transformed. Their thunderous clashes even surpassed the limits of reality. Only from the void above could one clearly see layer after layer of the heavens collapsing.
In an instant, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation seemed to let out a mournful cry. The Zhu Xian, Lu Xian, Xian Xian, and Jue Xian swords dimmed and flew back into Shangqing's hands.
The yin and yang energies of the Taiji Diagram were completely exhausted. The Pangu Banner's offensive power had been entirely dispelled, and the light of many spiritual treasures had dimmed. On some of them, even the Divine Restrictions on their surfaces had visibly collapsed.
"Impossible!"
"What kind of art is this?!"
"One person of equal cultivation broke my Zhu Xian Sword Formation?"
Even Taiqing, usually so detached and emotionless, had lost his composure. Yuqing and Shangqing were nearly frantic. They were utterly dumbfounded, their minds buzzing as they stared in disbelief.
"What is going on with the Heavenly Court?!"
It wasn't just the Three Pure Ones. The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others were also filled with astonishment. Their easy smiles had gradually frozen, their expressions now utterly grave.
The mighty Primordial experts who had sensed the disturbance at Mount Buzhou and sent their immortal thoughts over were even more stunned. The immortal thoughts stirring in the sky had all come to a halt.
It was as if heaven and earth had fallen silent. Everyone had been shaken by Taiyi and Nuwa's strength, their minds gone completely blank.
"Everyone, do we now have the qualifications to monopolize everything?"
Taiyi spoke slowly.
"Attack together."
Di Jiang's expression settled back into calm as he spoke in a low voice.
Buzz!!!
Having seen the Heavenly Court's strength, everyone stopped underestimating them or letting their guard down. Their expressions grew solemn, and all their Dao fruits surged to their limits. Marks of the Great Dao emerged between their brows.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches manifested their Ancestral Witch True Bodies. Their figures, towering to a height of countless billions of zhang, made even worlds seem insignificant beside them.
Taiqing, Yuqing, Shangqing, Hong Yun, and Zhen Yuanzi also brought out all their respective magic treasures. Without hesitation or another word, everyone formed countless hand seals and unleashed every divine ability and marvelous art, attacking all the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court.
"Form the array."
Fuxi, who had been watching coldly in silence, lifted his hand slightly and spoke in a frosty voice.
"An array?"
"So this is why they brought so many ants."
"Is this where the Heavenly Court's confidence comes from?"
"Ants are still ants. What use are more of them? Do they think this ridiculous array of theirs can defy heaven?"
Whether present or watching from the shadows, everyone's eyes flashed with understanding. They now knew why the Heavenly Court's leaders had brought so many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and immediately sneered at the idea.
Ants were ants. No matter how many there were, they were still ants. What, could their array really defy heaven?
No dog would believe that!
Of course, though they thought that way, they still gave the array the attention it deserved. The Heavenly Court had earned their respect with the strength it had just displayed. This wasn't a novel, after all; there was no reason for them to act like brainless fools.
What they couldn't imagine was that the power of this array was destined to surpass anything they could conceive!
