Hearing Yuanshi's words, Taiqing narrowed his eyes. "Second Brother, was yours stolen too?"
Yuanshi's face darkened. "Yes!"
"Those two shameless bald donkeys! Today, I will storm Mount Sumeru and demand an explanation."
"If that is the case, then let us go together, Second Brother. If they refuse to return our treasures, we will strike directly and destroy all of Mount Sumeru."
With that, the two transformed into streams of light and flew toward the Western World.
At the same time, within a side hall of Wa Huang Palace on Shouyang Mountain, a terrifying aura surged forth, causing the entire mountain to tremble without end. Suddenly, a terrifying pillar of light shot into the heavens.
Vast energy surged straight into the nine heavens, and in an instant, the entire void dimmed.
Countless bolts of lightning crisscrossed the sky. The terrifying phenomenon left all living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles afraid to leave their caves.
Inside the side hall of Wa Huang Palace, Ling Wudao kept his eyes tightly shut as his body slowly rose into the air.
As Ling Wudao's physical body floated in the void, spiritual energy from a million miles around seemed drawn by some force, rapidly converging upon where he was.
"Break!"
Ling Wudao opened his eyes, and a vast aura erupted from within him, instantly sweeping across the entire Great Desolation.
Within Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi sensed that terrifying might and thought to himself, What a terrifying aura. This power has already surpassed the realm of a Quasi-Sage. Could someone have attained the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao?
Deep within the Blood Sea, Ming He, who had been cultivating in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. What a powerful aura. Could someone on the Great Desolation continent have attained the Mixed Origin Dao?
The Great Desolation truly was still too dangerous. Unless he attained sainthood, he absolutely could not leave the Blood Sea.
Meanwhile, within the Demon Emperor Hall of the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and Tai Yi also sensed this terrifying power.
"Big Brother, this power came from the direction of Shouyang Mountain. Could it be that Nüwa has broken through again?"
"That is possible. This power is simply too great. Those who are not Saints are ultimately ants."
"Second Brother, we must quickly restore the foundations of the demon race. Once we eliminate the Witch Race, we can unify the Great Desolation. Then, we can use the power of fortune to break through and become Saints."
"Sigh! We suffered far too severely after the battle against the human race. Recovering quickly will not be something that can happen overnight."
"However, I have an idea. Kunpeng resides in the North Sea, where there are many races. We can have Kunpeng incorporate those races into our demon race's Heavenly Court. That way, our foundations can be restored quickly."
"This method is not bad!"
"Then I shall have Bai Ze make a trip to the North Sea."
With that, Di Jun immediately sent a voice transmission to Bai Ze.
Within Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island, Tongtian sensed the pressure of the energy coming from Shouyang Mountain.
"This is Ling Wudao's aura. Has he broken through? It seems he now possesses the strength of a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal."
On the other side, Yuanshi and Taiqing, who had just arrived at Mount Sumeru, also sensed this power.
"Big Brother, the aura of this power belongs to him. He has broken through."
Taiqing narrowed his eyes. "So what if he has broken through? Though this power is strong, it has not reached the point where we need fear it."
"If you and I join forces, he can only perish. After all, he is not a Heavenly Dao Saint."
"For now, let us retrieve our treasures first."
Taiqing looked toward Mount Sumeru, then spoke coldly. "Jie Yin, Zhun Ti, get the hell out here."
Within Mount Sumeru, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti exchanged glances.
"Senior Brother, has Taiqing gone mad? He suffered grievances over at Shouyang Mountain, and now he has actually come to cause trouble for us."
"Junior Brother, let us go out and see first. If Taiqing has truly come to trouble us, we will join hands and deal with him. He is only at Saint First Heaven now, so there is no need for us to fear him."
"Let us go!"
With that, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti transformed into streams of light and flew out.
The two arrived in the void and discovered that not only was Taiqing present, but Yuanshi was as well. Seeing this, Jie Yin immediately cupped his hands. "Two Senior Brothers, why have you come to our Western World?"
Yuanshi glared furiously at Jie Yin. "Bald donkey, return my treasure at once, or do not blame me for destroying your Mount Sumeru."
Zhun Ti said, "Senior Brother Yuanshi, we respect you as our senior brother, so why do you insult us like this? And when did the two of us ever take your treasures?"
Yuanshi snorted coldly, then took out twelve Sarira. "Are these not Sarira from your Western Sect?"
Jie Yin looked at the Sarira in Yuanshi's hand. "Senior Brother Yuanshi, where did you obtain these?"
At those words, Yuanshi could not help sneering. "The one who stole our treasures carelessly left this behind at the scene. Apart from your Western Sect, no one in the entire Great Desolation possesses such an item."
"If you return our treasures now, I may yet refrain from pursuing the matter. But if you refuse, Mount Sumeru will surely be destroyed today."
Upon hearing this, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti both frowned deeply.
Damn it! That thief is truly shameless, to actually use such a method to frame my junior brother and me. No matter how Junior Brother and I argue now, it will likely be useless.
At this moment, Zhun Ti secretly transmitted his voice. "Senior Brother, could this have been your doing?"
"Junior Brother, you have been inseparable from me these days. How could I possibly have gone to steal Taiqing and Yuanshi's treasures? Someone is clearly framing us brothers."
"Senior Brother Yuanshi, this truly was not done by my junior brother and me. Someone must be framing us brothers."
Taiqing glared angrily at Jie Yin and Zhun Ti. "Someone framed you? The evidence is right here, and you still dare argue. It seems that unless we teach you a lesson, you do not intend to return our treasures."
"Second Brother, do not waste words with them. Teach them a lesson first."
With that, Taiqing directly summoned the Taiji Diagram.
"Yin and Yang Annihilation, kill!"
The Taiji Diagram rose into the void and transformed into a massive yin-yang diagram. Immediately afterward, a black-and-white beam blasted toward Jie Yin and Zhun Ti.
Seeing this, Yuanshi immediately summoned the Pangu Banner as well.
"Profound Meaning of Opening Heaven, All-Heaven Fiendgod Qi Blade, slash!"
As Yuanshi shook the Pangu Banner, the entire void began to darken. Then, a massive vortex of black clouds formed overhead, followed by a gigantic axe blade formed from All-Heaven fiendgod qi extending forth.
"Whoosh!"
The enormous blade descended from the void, slashing straight toward where Jie Yin and Zhun Ti stood.
Seeing this, Jie Yin immediately said to Zhun Ti, "Junior Brother, I will block Yuanshi's attack. Taiqing is yours."
"Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, defend!"
As soon as he spoke, a Golden Lotus bloomed from Jie Yin's body, instantly transforming into a massive golden defensive barrier that enveloped both him and the entire Mount Sumeru.
