This Is Bad, Reinforcements Have Arrived
The gods' expressions changed, and they all stopped their attacks, looking up at the giant cauldron in the sky.
The pressure of Innate Immortal Artifact has a natural restraint on the soul.
Although they were gods with powerful souls, they still felt waves of stinging pain.
"Innate Immortal Artifact." Heavenly Lord Haoyang's eyes burned with fervor, his greed almost overflowing.
It's really good stuff!
"Be careful, everyone! This cauldron is specifically designed to suppress the soul," Haoyang warned loudly. At the same time, the Solar Golden Flame around him surged, forming a golden shield that blocked the cauldron's power.
The other gods also quickly activated their divine power to protect their divine souls.
Even so, I still felt my soul tremble and my body was not functioning smoothly.
"Receive."
Li Yunjing spoke calmly, pressing his right hand downwards.
The Five Aggregates Cauldron opened wide, generating a powerful suction force that enveloped the Golden Light and the Black Stone.
"Not good!"
The two Lower God' expressions changed drastically, and they desperately tried to break free.
However, the Five Aggregates Cauldron's suction force was like a bone-deep infection, firmly locking their souls in place.
"Help me! Great God Haoyang, save me!" the Emissary Golden Light screamed.
The War God Xuanjie's expression changed, and he brandished his spear, about to step forward to save him.
"Your opponent is me."
A clear, cold voice rang out.
Gu Xuan seized the opportunity and fully activated her Moonlight Domain, unleashing a massive New and Full Moon Slash Sword Qi slashed fiercely towards the back of the War God Xuanjie.
"Damn it!" The War God Xuanjie had no choice but to turn around and defend himself.
Clang!
The Sword Qi collided with the spear, and the War God Xuanjie was shaken and staggered forward.
In that brief moment of delay, the Five Aggregates Cauldron's suction power increased dramatically.
"Ah!"
Black Stone let out a miserable scream and was the first to be sucked off the ground, flying towards the mouth of the cauldron.
He desperately released his dark energy, but it was instantly purified by the light of the cauldron.
"No!"
The Golden Light followed closely behind, and the divine body was distorted and deformed by the absorption, its face filled with fear.
Thump, thump.
With two soft sounds, the two Lower God were forcibly sucked into the cauldron.
The lid of the Five Aggregates Cauldron closed automatically, and spiritual light flowed around the cauldron as it began refining.
A moment later, the two faint fluctuations of divine soul completely disappeared.
The two Lower God were instantly refined!
The entire hall fell silent.
The people of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect were dumbfounded.
That's a god!
They just took it like that? And refined it on the spot?
On the Luozhen Sect's side, a deafening cheer erupted.
"The Immortal Artifact is mighty! The sect leader is mighty!"
"Good for them! Let them be arrogant!"
"So what if they're gods? They were still dealt with by the sect leader!"
Morale soared to its peak instantly.
Heavenly Lord Haoyang's expression darkened completely.
Two Lower God were killed right at the start of the battle.
That slap in the face stung.
"Li Yunjing!" Haoyang's voice was icy cold, "You dare to refine the god of the Heavenly Hao Alliance, I will tear you to pieces!"
Li Yunjing said calmly, "Anyone can talk big. If you're so capable, try it yourself."
"You think you can get away with this just because you have Immortal Artifact?" Haoyang laughed angrily.
"Innate Immortal Artifact are powerful, their strength depends on who wields them. With your Void Refinement Perfection stage, how much of their power can you unleash?"
His body was engulfed in Solar Golden Flame, and the temperature suddenly rose.
"Today, I will personally seize your cauldron and then annihilate your entire sect!"
Boom!
Heavenly Lord Haoyang leaped out, like a golden sun, crashing into the city wall.
A terrifying heatwave swept across the area, distorting even the space itself.
The air hissed as it passed by.
When Higher God unleashes their full power, their might is indeed extraordinary.
"Sect Leader, be careful!"
The members of the Luozhen Sect exclaimed in unison.
Li Yunjing remained expressionless and made a gesture with his right hand.
The Five Aggregates Cauldron flew back to him, spinning rapidly, and five-colored spiritual light formed a thick protective shield.
At the same time, he flipped his left hand, and the Pure Subtlety Spiritual Banner appeared in his hand as well.
The clear light of the Semi-Immortal Artifact merged with the cauldron light of the Immortal Artifact, instantly maximizing its defensive power.
"The Sun Burns the Heavens!"
Haoyang shouted and struck down with his palm.
A massive golden flaming palm print, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything, slammed heavily onto the protective barrier.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar, accompanied by a surging shockwave, swept across the surrounding area.
Fire and spiritual light erupted simultaneously, the blinding light making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.
The shockwave spread outwards, the city walls shook violently, and bricks and stones fell in a flurry.
The light faded.
The shield swayed slightly, but remained intact.
Li Yunjing stood behind the protective barrier, his robes fluttering, completely still.
"Even Higher God is nothing more than this."
His tone was calm, yet every word he spoke was piercing.
Haoyang's pupils contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.
How is that possible?
His all-out attack couldn't even break through the opponent's defense?
That's impossible!
Even if a mortal at the Void Refinement Stage possesses Immortal Artifact, he cannot possibly withstand his Sun Burns the Heavens!
"Who exactly are you?" Haoyang asked in a deep voice.
He began to doubt whether the person in front of him was human!
"The leader of the Luozhen Sect, Li Yunjing," Li Yunjing said calmly.
"Haoyang, let me give you a piece of advice. With the God-Slaying Tribulation upon us, the gods should be banding together for warmth and to overcome the difficulties. But you, instead, are focused on infighting and eliminating dissidents."
"Continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction, giving Jie Li a Tribulation Power."
"It's not too late to retreat now."
"Retreat?" Haoyang as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world. "You think I'm afraid of you? You're just relying on your Immortal Artifact for defense. I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"
Although he was shocked, he did not believe he would lose.
While the power of Immortal Artifact is immense, its consumption must also be enormous. Li Yunjing's cultivation is limited, and he cannot sustain it for long.
Once his spiritual power is exhausted, the Five Aggregates Cauldron will be ownerless.
"Everyone, attack together! Wear him down!" Haoyang shouted the order.
"Yes!"
The remaining twenty-odd gods attacked simultaneously.
Various divine powers surged forth, bombarding the protective barrier.
The water blades of the Primordial Lord Bi Shui, the spears of the War God Xuanjie, the poisonous mist of the Hundred Herbs Old Immortal... all sorts of Divine Ability Law Technique and spells rained down.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of explosions was incessant.
The protective shield of the Five Aggregates Cauldron trembled continuously, its spiritual light flickering, appearing to be in imminent danger.
"Sect Leader!"
On the city wall, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Li Yunjing stood behind the protective barrier, his expression remaining calm.
He could feel that his spiritual energy was being consumed very quickly. But he was not unprepared.
"Northern Darkness, all you true spirits, why haven't you made your move yet?"
Li Yunjing's voice traveled in all directions along the earth's veins.
"Haha! I was so suffocating!"
A hearty laugh rang out.
Boom!
Ten beams of light of different colors shot out simultaneously from the ground beneath the city wall.
Northern Darkness Xuan, Central Yellow Thick Earth, Eastern Extreme Azure, Southern Li Fire Essence...
The ten Ancestral Vein incarnations appeared together.
The power of the ten earth veins converged and merged into the Five Aggregates Cauldron.
The previously precarious protective barrier instantly shone brightly and became as stable as a mountain.
"The Ten Ancestral Vein!" Haoyang's expression changed drastically.
He knew that the Luozhen Sect had the support of its Ancestral Vein, but he never expected that the incarnations of the ten Ancestral Vein were all here!
The combined power of the ten Ancestral Vein is equivalent to mobilizing the earth's vein power throughout the entire Dao Realm.
With a continuous flow of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi into the Five Aggregates Cauldron, Li Yunjing had no need to worry about depletion.
Li Yunjing spoke calmly, "What's wrong, Haoyang? Are you going to keep stalling?"
Haoyang's face turned pale and then flushed.
With the combined might of the ten Ancestral Vein and the Five Aggregates Cauldron, the opponent's defense was virtually invincible.
If this drags on any longer, they'll only be the ones who suffer.
He was truly unwilling to retreat just like that.
Two Lower God were lost right at the start of the battle, and they couldn't even break through the enemy's defenses. If word got out, how could the Heavenly Hao Alliance save face?
Just as Haoyang was in a dilemma, an urgent report came from behind.
"Great God! It's terrible! The Immortal Alliance is here! They're coming from the south, about three hundred of them!"
"Furthermore, reinforcements from several surrounding sects are also on their way here!"
