Jade Void Palace.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged on the Nine Dragons Agarwood Carriage, his body radiating Jade Purity Immortal Light like a waterfall, evolving into the infinite Heavenly Dao Laws.
He had already sensed Xuandu's appearance, and he also sensed Di Jiang's ecstasy and Di Jun's murderous intent.
Everything was within his expectations.
As expected, Xuandu appeared at the start of the decisive battle, intending to disrupt the war by taking advantage of the Witch Clan's joining the Interception Sect.
pity...
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Yuanshi slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shimmering with Jade Purity Immortal Light like a galaxy, reflecting the That Green Clad Figure above Buzhou Mountain.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Xuandu thought himself to be a master strategist, using the Witch Clan to deal with the Demon Clan, and even intending to settle scores with himself during the Great Tribulation.
Little did they know...
All of this was within his Yuanshi calculations!
Did the Witch Clan join the Interception Sect?
ridiculous.
If I don't intervene and allow the Witch Clan to suddenly join the Interception Sect during the final battle, the tide of war might indeed turn.
"Now that I know your plans, how could I... let you have your way?"
Yuanshi muttered to himself, flicking his sleeve.
"Buzz!"
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi flew out from his sleeve and hung in front of him.
Above the Ruyi, the Jade Purity Dao Patterns flowed wildly, evolving into Star Chart that covered the heavens.
Within the Star Chart, Buzhou Mountain, Golden Ao Island, Western Mount Sumeru, Shouyang Mountain, Wa Huang Palace... in the five directions, five points of light from Sage have all lit up!
The killing trap has been set!
At his command, the Five Saints emerged simultaneously, unleashing a thunderous strike!
Xuandu is doomed!
However.
Just as Yuanshi Tianzun's mind stirred slightly, intending to activate the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and send a message to the Saints to take action.
" Yuanshi."
Xuandu's calm yet clear voice pierced through billions of miles of void, resounding directly deep within his mind!
"Since you've already laid a trap, why hide your true intentions?"
Show yourself.
"Let me see... just how capable you, the Sage Yuqing, really are."
Each word resounded like a thunderclap!
Yuanshi's pupils constricted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief and astonishment appeared on his face!
Xuandu... dares to provoke us?!
And in such a blatant and arrogant way?!
What makes him think he can?!
With his cultivation level of a mere hundred years since entering the Zenith Heaven? Or with... Tongtian's Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which had not yet left the island?!
"Court death!"
Yuanshi's eyes flashed with cold light, Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his sleeve hummed and trembled, unleashing a burst of Jade Purity Immortal Light!
He suddenly stood up and stepped out of the Jade Void Palace!
"Since you're seeking death..."
"Then I... will grant your wish!"
The sound was like thunder, carrying the supreme majesty of the Hunyuan Sage, and instantly spread throughout the Great Wilderness!
Above Buzhou Mountain.
No more than three breaths had passed since Xuandu finished speaking.
"Buzz!"
A massive, ten-thousand-foot-wide rift suddenly split open in the void!
A figure slowly stepped out from the crack.
Dressed in Yuqing Dao Robe and wearing Purple Gold Crown, with a gaunt face and indifferent eyes, he exuded a tangible Jade Purity Immortal Light that manifested endless phantoms of the Heavenly Dao Laws.
It is none other than the Yuanshi Tianzun!
He stood alone in the void, hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over the Myriad Witch Clan below, over the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, and finally... landing on Xuandu.
" Xuandu."
Yuanshi spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet like Great Dao Edict, clearly reaching the ears of every living being:
"You defy the heavens, abolish Holy Mother Nuwa 'Laozi Human Sect, slay the Holy Mother Nuwa, Gather Fortune, awaken humanity, and interfere with the revival of the Earth Dao... You have already disrupted the Great Wilderness Order and touched the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao."
"Today, I, on behalf of Heavenly Dao, will carry out the punishment!"
The last four words, like Eternal Ice falling to the ground, chilled the very soul!
The entire battlefield fell into a sudden, deathly silence!
Di Jiang's expression changed drastically; the wild joy in his eyes instantly turned into horror!
The Yuanshi... actually appeared at this moment!
Moreover, the moment he appeared, he displayed such a resolute attitude, declaring that he would act on behalf of Heavenly Dao to punish Xuandu!
Can the Witch Clan's joining the Interception Sect... even succeed?!
Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi clapped their hands and laughed heartily, their eyes filled with delight!
" The Primordial Sage! He's finally made his move!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi grinned maliciously, and the Chaos Bell in his palm shone brightly.
" Xuandu! Today is your death day!"
The starlight of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array suddenly shone brightly, and the Star Power began to slowly converge towards the Xuandu direction!
The killing intent... has been completely locked!
Faced with the oppressive power of the Yuanshi, the locking effect of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, and the killing intent of Di Jun Taiyi...
Xuandu remained standing alone, his blue robes fluttering slightly, his face serene.
He even... laughed.
" Act on Behalf of Heaven?"
Xuandu slowly shook his head, his eyes swirling with Chaos Radiance:
" Yuanshi, you overestimate yourself."
He paused, his voice turning cold:
"You're not qualified!"
"You've only shown yourself today for personal grudges, for your own gain, and to... get rid of me, this variable."
Each word, like a sharp blade, sliced through the Yuanshi disguise, revealing the cold calculations beneath!
Yuanshi's face darkened, Jade Purity Immortal Light in his eyes surged wildly:
"Sharp-tongued and quick-witted."
"No matter how eloquent you are today, you cannot escape death!"
He said no more, and with a flick of his sleeve, he...
"Buzz!"
The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi shone brightly, and the Jade Purity Dao Patterns surged forth like a tide, transforming into a beam of Jade Purity Immortal Light that pierced through heaven and earth, heading towards Xuandu... and slashing down fiercely!
Wherever the celestial light passed, the void crumbled inch by inch, the laws were annihilated, and endless destructive phenomena evolved!
Although Yuanshi didn't use his full strength, this attack was enough to annihilate an ordinary Quasi-Saint, both body and soul!
He wanted to test the Xuandu first, to see just how capable this Hundred Year Zenith Heaven was!
However.
Facing the descending Jade Purity Immortal Light.
Xuandu remained... motionless.
He simply raised his hand slowly, palm facing up, and gently lifted it.
"Buzz."
A wisp of Chaos Colored Radiance quietly emerged from his palm.
At first, it was just a faint light, but in an instant, it expanded to a radius of a hundred feet, transforming into a Chaos Color light curtain that hung overhead.
"Bang!"
The Jade Purity Immortal Light struck the Chaos Light Curtain, unleashing a deafening roar!
The celestial light shattered, and the light curtain swayed.
But... in the end, they couldn't break through!
Xuandu stood beneath the light barrier, his blue robes undamaged, his expression unchanged, and even his aura... remained perfectly undisturbed!
"What?!"
Yuanshi's pupils constricted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief and astonishment appeared on his face!
Although he didn't use his full strength in that attack, it still reached the power of Fifth Heaven Heavenly Dao Sage!
How could it possibly be something that a First Heaven Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal could withstand?
But Xuandu... blocked it so easily?!
