Tongtian finished speaking.
The Green Duckweed Sword left its sheath completely.
Phantoms of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords also appeared behind Tongtian.
At that moment, Yuqing Immortal Light blazed over Kunlun Mountain.
Golden light from Mount Sumeru pressed down as well.
Inside Lingxiao Hall, the Heavenly Court Divine Position Register fluttered.
The currents of power throughout the Three Realms instantly tightened.
If the Purple Heaven Seal still insisted on preserving "the Interception Sect must perish," Tongtian would truly set up the Immortal Slaying Formation again.
But this time, the situation was different.
The Interception Sect was not trying to evade the Investiture of the Gods.
Nor was it resisting the heavenly mandate.
They had already established the new rules of the three lists.
They had changed the old roads to certain death awaiting their disciples, one by one.
They had laid the karma they must bear upon the Three Steles.
If they still had to perish after all that, then the problem was not the Interception Sect's refusal to submit.
It was that the new lists were useless.
In the direction of Zixiao Palace, Hongjun's Seal finally moved.
A stream of purple aura descended and pressed upon the Investiture of the Gods List.
Deep within the Investiture of the Gods List, the words [The Interception Sect must perish] cracked for the first time.
On Golden Turtle Island, the Ten Thousand Immortals held their breath.
Zhao Gongming tightened his grip on the Sea-Calming Pearl.
The Three Xiao Sisters stared at the cracks on the list.
The divine eye in Wen Zhong's forehead opened slightly.
All the formation flags of the Ten Heavenly Lords stopped in midair.
Not one of the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Outer Sect spoke.
They all knew that success or failure hinged on this moment.
Hongjun's voice descended.
