Of course, not everyone is blindly optimistic.
The Devil Ancestor was still locked in a standoff with the Heavenly Emperor, each restraining the other, but both were simultaneously observing the movements of the Lord of Greed and Han Xuanji.
"It's up to you now, Fellow Daoist Han..."
The Heavenly Emperor silently said to himself.
He wasn't sure about Han Xuanji's strength, but since Han Xuanji hadn't left, he must have a chance of winning.
"Hmph... This Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable does have some confidence."
Han Xuanji's figure was reflected in the Devil Ancestor's dark, pupil-less eyes.
"Using the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm to weaken Taotie... that's quite a clever scheme."
It seems this young man should not be underestimated.
He showed little sympathy for the Lord of Greed's setback, but rather a chilling sense of "just as I expected."
The more frustrated and enraged the Lord of Greed becomes, the more desperate he will be in order to better probe Han Xuanji's full trump cards and deplete Han Xuanji's and the power of the Immortal Realm.
"But... 'grave,' huh? That's quite an impressive boast."
The Devil Ancestor sneered inwardly.
Although the Lord of Greed was suppressed, his foundation at the fourth level of the Primordial Hunyuan Wuji remained intact, making him far from easy to defeat.
If Han Xuanji truly believes that he can secure victory simply by virtue of his home advantage, he will likely suffer a great loss.
"I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve... Ideally, we'd both suffer heavy losses."
The Devil Ancestor thought to himself.
He quietly adjusted the power of the Devil Race, preparing to ensure that he would be the ultimate Ying Household at the crucial moment, whether it was dealing with the Heavenly Emperor who might intervene or "reaping" the battlefield where both sides might suffer heavy losses.
High Heaven Hall, some of the more mature and cautious immortals, or those who already harbored doubts about Han Xuanji, frowned once again after their initial surprise.
"Is the Great Heavenly Venerable's statement... perhaps a bit too presumptuous?"
An emperor who held the power over the stars remained solemn as he gazed at the Lord of Greed, who, even suppressed, was still terrifyingly Lord of Greed within the light screen.
"That's Chaos Devil God has devoured worlds! Even though it's suppressed by the Immortal Realm, its strength is probably still above that of the Great Heavenly Venerable."
"If we provoke them like this, what if..."
"Perhaps the Great Heavenly Venerable truly possesses a trump card unknown to us?"
Emperor Lord Yisheng pondered for a moment. Although he was also excited, as a general in command of troops, he valued practicality more.
"The power of its protective array is no less than that of our Heavenly Court, thus revealing that the Great Heavenly Venerable's mastery of array formations is unfathomable."
In my opinion... there really is a chance of victory?"
Some immortals and gods whispered among themselves, with a hint of doubt:
"They're all at the Hunyuan Wuji! How long has the Great Heavenly Venerable been at his advancement?"
"I wonder if His Heavenly Emperor will be able to lend a hand..."
With everyone having their own thoughts...
On the other side, the Lord of Greed was furious upon hearing Han Xuanji's words.
"Arrogant!"
"How dare you, a mere junior, utter such arrogant words! When I devoured the world, you were still being conceived in some Chaos corner!"
The Lord of Greed's voice was filled with the fury of being looked down upon. He couldn't see through Han Xuanji's origins, but he was nothing more than a Chaos being. However, there was a trace of surprise and doubt in his voice that even he himself was unwilling to admit.
Because he did sense something was wrong. Ever since he entered the Immortal Realm, the rejection and suppression from the entire world had been ever-present, but what made him even more uneasy deep down was a sense of threat.
For some reason, he felt a sense of fear emanating from Han Xuanji.
That was an emotion he hadn't shown in many years.
" The Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm... the legacy of the Immortal Ancestor... and that strange Daoist aura emanating from this kid..."
The Lord of Greed's countless greedy eyes flashed wildly, fixed on that tiny yet conspicuous figure atop the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace.
Han Xuanji's composure made it feel a sense of unease, as if it were out of control.
"Hmph! Bluster! I'll see what you can do to me!"
The Lord of Greed no longer hesitated, his figure completely squeezing into the Immortal Realm.
The originally enormous figure seemed to have shrunk somewhat, but it was still countless feet tall, its shadow covering hundreds of millions of miles, casting a shadow over the entire Mystic Heaven Dao Domain, and even severing the connection between the power of the Tianxing.
He decided to crush this arrogant junior with overwhelming force and devour his Dao Fruit.
Without further ado, he unleashed his most precious treasure, and a gourd-shaped phantom suddenly materialized in the sky.
The teapot's body presents an absolute darkness that devours all colors, and its swirling spout can draw in the vast world and all Principle, transforming them into the purest nourishment.
The mere display of power was enough to instill fear in countless people.
Li Taiqing and the others felt as if they were about to lose their footing and be completely sucked into the pot, but fortunately, Xiao Hong intervened and blocked the powerful suction.
The beings throughout the entire Mystic Heaven Dao Domain felt utterly hopeless; such power was beyond their comprehension.
Who would have thought that a mere teapot could seem to absorb the entire world?
"Young one! Enter my treasure pot and transform into my resources!"
The Lord of Greed roared, his eyes filled with savagery.
The treasure pot suddenly tilted over, its spout pointing directly at Han Xuanji, and a terrifying suction force, surpassing all energy and even beginning to influence fate and cause and effect, erupted.
Above the Mystic Heaven Dao Domain, space completely vanished, as if transforming into a bottomless abyss connected to the source of greed, threatening to swallow Han Xuanji, the continent beneath his feet, the Dao Palace behind him, and even the entire Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven.
Countless immortals and gods witnessed this scene, and their minds nearly collapsed.
Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
The other leaders also noticed this scene and were extremely nervous, as none of them knew whether Han Xuanji could handle it.
If they weren't so weak, they would have definitely gone up to help.
At Purple Firmament Peak, in the Cloudmist Dao Field.
Immortal Venerable Yunmiao was deeply worried.
The power of that treasure pot exceeded his understanding of " Law Treasure." It was a manifestation of the Great Dao of Greed, a violent application of the power of the Wuji.
"Keep it up, my disciple..."
Immortal Venerable Yunmiao silently thought to himself.
Meanwhile, many of Immortal Venerable Yunmiao's disciples were also filled with mixed emotions.
One of them was shocked. "Really?"
Zhou Li never expected that after his ascension, the renowned Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable would have become Supreme Heavenly Venerable. This speed made him somewhat doubt himself.
He had always thought he had some great secret and dared not reveal it.
In fact, not only the cultivators of the Immortal Realm and the ancient immortals and gods, but even the Heavenly Emperor felt a jolt of fear and some tension. However, on the surface, he remained calm and composed, seemingly trusting Han Xuanji completely.
The Devil Ancestor, however, seemed to be enjoying the show, and said:
"Hmph, when this junior dies, I wonder if you'll still be able to pretend like this?"
"It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious."
The Heavenly Emperor responded calmly, appearing confident and assured.
This appearance restored some confidence to countless cultivators in the immortal Immortal Realm.
At this very moment.
Faced with this Devour Heaven and Earth attack, Han Xuanji merely raised his eyes slightly.
"The teapot is nice, but unfortunately, the person using it... is too rough."
His voice was flat, as if he were commenting not on a world-destroying technique, but on a poorly made work of art.
Before he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared behind his head, and an ancient-looking long banner quietly emerged.
The banner incorporates Han Xuanji's own Chaos Wuji True Intention, presenting a profound scene of the beginning of Chaos and the evolution of all things. The banner pole seems to have the power to support the sky, and the banner tail seems to be able to define Chaos as it flutters. This is the Mystic Heaven Banner!
"The order of the Mystic Heaven is fixed, and all laws cannot invade it."
Han Xuanji gave a light shout, Mystic Heaven Banner moved on its own without any wind, swaying gently.
A force of "order" and "stability," seemingly originating from the very source of the Great Dao, silently spread out.
The extremely violent devouring power unleashed by the Greed Treasure Pot was like hitting an insurmountable dam in the face of this force. Its power suddenly stopped, and the Great Dao suction force that pulled at all things seemed to be gently smoothed out by an invisible hand and dissipated into nothingness!
