Yuanshi slowly uttered a single word, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Good."
He raised his finger and gently touched the void between Buzhou Mountain and Golden Ao Island on the Star Chart.
"This is Xuandu's... final resting place!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi shines brightly!
The Jade Purity Dao Patterns flowed wildly, evolving into endless killing phenomena, and an unquestionable Heavenly Dao Will that surpassed all laws emanated from the depths of Ruyi!
Yuanshi slowly closed his eyes, his mind and spirit completely merging with the Heavenly Dao.
He was performing a simulation.
Three days later, the Witch-Demon War begins, and every detail of Xuandu's appearance...
How does the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array operate?
How powerful is the Du Tian Divine Fiend Great Array?
Will the Tongtian Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation leave the island?
When Jieyin Zhunti their move?
How would Nuwa and Laozi cooperate?
And... the most crucial point.
How exactly will Xuandu appear? And when... will he reveal his weakness?
Countless thoughts collided and unfolded deep within the Yuanshi mind.
Jade Purity Immortal Light surged forth like a tide, completely enveloping the entire Jade Void Palace.
Outside the palace, countless creatures of the Kunlun Mountain felt a pang of unease, prostrating themselves in fear.
Sage Heavenly Secret Deduction and stir up the laws of nature; even a mere wisp of their aura is enough to change the very fabric of the world!
Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace.
Tongtian stood alone atop the palace, his blue robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes gleaming like lightning, fixed intently on the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
Just now Yuanshi Heavenly Secret Deduction and stirred up the fluctuations of the laws. Even though he was hundreds of millions of miles away, he could clearly perceive it.
" Yuanshi... was indeed plotting a deadly trap."
Tongtian muttered to himself, a cold smile curving his lips.
He slowly raised his hand, and the illusory image of the Qingping Sword quietly appeared in his palm.
The sword gleamed with a clear light, reflecting the undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
"If that's the case..."
With a slight thought, Tongtian's Spiritual Sense transformed into an invisible Sword Intent, slashing fiercely towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain!
"Buzz!"
A fierce and domineering Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent tore through the sky, instantly traversing billions of miles, reaching the outside of the Jade Void Palace!
Sword Intent is neither attack nor spying.
Rather... it's a provocation!
A blatant provocation!
"Boom!"
Outside the Jade Void Palace, the Jade Purity Immortal Light suddenly erupted in chaos!
Yuanshi suddenly opened his eyes, the cold light in them almost materializing!
" Tongtian... you're courting death!"
He let out a low growl and flicked his sleeve.
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi shone brightly, Jade Purity Dao Patterns transformed into an invisible barrier, forcefully blocking the incoming Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent outside the palace!
"Click..."
A faint cracking sound came from the void.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent clashed with the Yuqing Purity Barrier, annihilating the laws and shattering space, evolving into endless destructive phenomena!
Just a moment later.
Sword Intent dissipated, the barrier slowly flattened.
However, the Heavenly Domain outside the Jade Void Palace was in ruins, with numerous cracks in the void that had not healed for a long time.
"What a Tongtian..."
Yuanshi's face was ashen, and his hands slowly clenched into fists hidden in his sleeves.
He was just deducing the crucial point of the killing situation when he was forcibly interrupted by Sword Intent from Tongtian!
Although unharmed, his mind was shaken, and the deduction process... was forced to stop!
What angered him even more was...
Tongtian's actions were clearly a message to him: I am aware of your murderous scheme; come if you dare!
Such blatant provocation, such undisguised favoritism...
Absolutely... incredibly arrogant!
"During the great calamity, the secrets of Heavenly Secret are in chaos. Even if you, Tongtian, fully activate the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, how many people can you protect?"
Yuanshi gritted his teeth and whispered, his eyes blazing with murderous intent:
"Once Xuandu appears, the Five Saints United for a thunderous strike... I'll see how you, Tongtian... protect yourself!!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
He ignored Tongtian's provocation and once again sank into the depths of the Heavenly Dao.
Deduction... Continue!
Golden Ao Island, Biyou Palace.
Tongtian sheathed his sword and stood there, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
" Yuanshi... is indeed getting anxious."
His Sword Intent just now was not truly intended to attack Jade Void Palace.
Rather... it was a test.
He was testing Yuanshi's reaction, testing the progress of his deduction of the murderous scheme, and even more so... whether panic had already set in his heart.
Looking at it now...
Although Yuanshi appeared calm on the surface, his momentary outburst of rage and the urgency he felt after his deduction was interrupted revealed that he was not as composed as he seemed.
"The killing strategy has been successfully executed, but the mind is in disarray... and this strategy has a flaw."
Tongtian muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping towards the direction of Buzhou Mountain.
That brat Xuandu should already be at the Witch Clan Ancestral Land, secretly making arrangements.
With the Chaos Bead obscuring the secrets of Heavenly Secret, even the Yuanshi would find it difficult to deduce his specific movements.
His provocative Sword Intent had completely drawn Yuanshi's attention to Golden Ao Island and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
in this way...
Xuandu's actions, conducted in secret, gave him a greater sense of confidence.
"Three days later..."
Tongtian slowly clenched his fist, and the Qingping Sword Intent flowed around his body:
" This Master want to see just how dangerous this Saints' Killing Formation really is!"
Deep within the Pangu Hall on Buzhou Mountain.
Xuandu stood alone in the shadows, his blue robes fluttering slightly, his gaze calmly fixed on the billowing Blood Qi- red aura rising into the sky outside the palace.
The Witch Clan Warriors have all assembled, their fighting spirit erupting like a volcano, their murderous aura shaking the heavens and the earth.
Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witch were reviewing their troops and assigning tasks in front of the palace, making final preparations for the decisive battle three days later...
Everything is proceeding according to plan.
Just then...
"Buzz..."
A barely perceptible fluctuation of laws emanated from the direction of the East Sea.
Xuandu's gaze sharpened slightly, and his thoughts stirred subtly.
Deep within the Purple Mansion between his brows, the Chaos Bead shimmered with light, clearly reflecting that fluctuation.
It's the Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent!
Master Tongtian... is he engaging in a battle with Yuanshi across space?
A slow smile crept onto Xuandu's lips.
He instantly understood his master's actions.
Provoking the Yuanshi to attract attention creates more space for him to operate covertly.
With such a teacher, what more could a disciple ask for?
Xuandu murmured to himself, a warm feeling flowing through his heart.
He stopped paying attention to the clash of Sword Intent and sank his mind into the depths of the Chaos Bead.
Bead World, 100,000 True Immortal and the Three Ancestors have all entered and are diligently cultivating their martial arts in that newly born world.
One day outside is equivalent to a hundred days inside.
Three days later, it will be three hundred days within the boundary!
Three hundred days of arduous training, coupled with a spiritual energy concentration far exceeding that of the outside world, and the guidance of his own Martial Dao True Meaning...
When they reappear, their strength will surely undergo a qualitative leap!
At that time, Human Race... will truly have the resources to rise during the Great Tribulation!
"Soon..."
Xuandu slowly closed his eyes, his mind resonating with the Chaos Bead World.
He seemed to see Suiren Shi's Blood Qi Like a Dragon, his Martial Dao True Meaning soaring to the heavens, already faintly touching the threshold of Quasi-Saint.
They saw that Youchao Shi used the methods of Artifact Refining to Body Tempering, making his muscles and bones as hard as metal, and his Blood Qi as solid as a substance.
They saw the Ziyi Shi in flowing robes, their Martial Dao True Meaning merging with the laws of Immortal Path, their aura ethereal and profound.
I saw even more—ten thousand True Immortal, their Blood Qi Resonance like the sea, their will condensed like a sword, the entire world illuminated by their Martial Dao Light!
"Three days later..."
Xuandu murmured softly, his eyes swirling with Chaos Radiance:
"With the addition of the Witch Clan to the Interception Sect, my cultivation is sufficient to break through to the Zenith Heaven Second Heaven!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
With a slight thought, his figure slowly faded away.
