Outside the Dragon Gate.

A figure broke through the encirclement and flew up from below the long steps. His movements were as fast as lightning, and he reached out to touch the golden door that shone with light.

But the next moment, he was thrown away.

The people below looked on in astonishment.

Before a hundred breaths had passed, did the number of people have already arrived?

"What's going on? There shouldn't have been more than ten people who came in just now. I've been counting!" Someone stood up, looking up with a questioning expression.

Niu Tuntian frowned, looked at Peng Fei, and transmitted his voice, "How many people just entered?"

Peng Fei shook his head and said, "Including the last Yu Tunzhou, that makes exactly ten people."

Niu Tuntian wondered, "Did that guy miscount?"

Not far away, Lin Yueheng met up with the Divine Monk Jiese, Nishang, and others.

Nishang and Yuan Mengzhou were somewhat regretful that they couldn't go inside with Yu Tunzhou.

Lin Yueheng: "Dragon Gate might be a trap."

"After establishing my Dao Path, I gained new insights into Buddhism and initially awakened my Heavenly Eye Divine Ability. There were twelve of us who entered just now." Jiese gazed towards the Dragon Gate, paused, and said with a hint of seriousness, "Among them, several are extremely suspicious, having never shown any talent before."

"Twelve people?" Nishang asked doubtfully. "Isn't the maximum number of people allowed in ten?"

Lin Yueheng looked towards the Dragon Gate with a solemn expression. "The Dragon Gate's sudden change of rules is suspicious to begin with. Combined with Young Hero Yu just warned me, this Dragon Gate is indeed a 'trap.' I wonder if the Dragon Race is fishing for us."

He had already witnessed the true strength and dominance of the Yu Tunzhou, but if the Dragon Gate involved power beyond Immortals and Gods...

That would be completely different!

"Amitabha," the Jiese Buddha chanted, hands clasped together, eyes lowered, "May Young Hero Yu be blessed by Heaven."

Yu Tunzhou withdrew his gaze, scanned his surroundings, and silently counted in his mind.

Ten figures were scattered around, some close and some far apart, like ten chess pieces placed on an invisible chessboard.

Including myself, there are eleven people.

There's one more person?

His gaze slowly swept over each face.

Xie Linchuan and Daoist Xuanfa stood side by side, clearly having formed an alliance.

Xie Linchuan met his gaze, nodded slightly, but there was an indescribable helplessness in his expression.

A voice transmission reached Yu Tunzhou's ears, urgent and low. "Tunzhou, the people here have their own methods to see through secret voice transmissions, so be careful."

Yu Tunzhou remained expressionless and nodded slightly.

This served as a reminder to him.

Feng Yanleng, dressed in Hongyi, stood on the left, with Kong Ling standing beside her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

The two seemed like allies, yet also like fellow travelers wary of each other.

At the same time, Kong Ling's eyes swept warily over everyone, knowing that those who had come here were probably not "alone".

Those who remained went their own way.

Not far away, An Ruyu stood alone in the Void at the very edge, her white dress flowing like clouds, her gaze fixed on the giant ship.

Huang Tian frowned, his gaze seemingly fixed on the dragon boat, but he appeared to be deep in thought, pondering something or communicating with someone.

Miedu is like a withered monk in Meditative Concentration, his breath so peaceful it is almost nonexistent.

The remaining three were Deng Canglan, Xiao Yanzhi, and a woman whom Yu Tunzhou did not recognize. She had a serene demeanor and wore a plain-colored Daoist robe.

This person made eye contact with Yu Tunzhou, nodded slightly, and proactively extended goodwill; it's unclear which branch of the Daoist School he belongs to.

Yu Tunzhou frowned and looked at Xiao Yanzhi.

This guy is strange; he has a completely different aura than before.

Yu Tunzhou immediately contacted the will of Dragon Gate.

"Have you identified the mastermind behind this? My suggestion is, regardless of the circumstances, since we're already in the trap, let's surround and surround them all!"

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon remained silent for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoist, you jest. If we still had that strength, we would have already adopted the attitude of 'better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free,' and detained all those who entered the Dragon Gate this time, and interrogated them one by one."

Yu Tunzhou's brow twitched.

Good heavens, so it's not that the Dragon Race didn't consider doing this, but rather that they lacked the strength and wouldn't allow it? Are they afraid of being suppressed by various powerful figures behind the scenes?

"So what do you plan to do now?" Yu Tunzhou asked inwardly. "They shouldn't be able to hear our conversation, right?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured on this point," the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon said slowly. "Currently, all parties are wary and suspicious, and no one is willing to make the first move. There are three people whose identities are unknown, and we need you to help us force them to reveal their true identities."

"Which three?" Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked. "Fellow Torch Dragon promised to help me fully activate the divine weapon in my hand. If a conflict truly erupts between Immortals and Gods, how do you plan to intervene?"

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, this world is still under our control. At that time, you only need to enter the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, and we will help you temporarily control a realm. By infusing the power of this realm into the Vajra Bracelet, you will be able to unleash its divine might."

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon offered comfort and pointed out the location of the three.

Upon hearing the first half, Yu Tunzhou perked up.

His "Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person and man" merely meant manipulating the laws of heaven and earth within a certain range, but judging from the other party's words, being in this place, it seemed he could mobilize the power of the entire world?

Even the Dharma Aspect could not achieve this!

He looked at the three people the will of Dragon Gate had pointed out.

One was An Ruyu, another was a woman in a Daoist robe, and the last one was...

Yu Tunzhou was suddenly startled.

Who brought these extra people?

There are twelve people in the room?!

Yu Tunzhou stared intently at this corner of the place. Not far from Ji Zhaoxuan stood a gray-robed man of medium build and indifferent face. Standing there, he was like a drop of water falling into a river, seemingly nonexistent.

Those around noticed Yu Tunzhou's gaze and, following it, belatedly discovered the presence of another person in the room.

Kong Ling's expression was solemn. With his spiritual sense, he had not noticed anything until Yu Tunzhou "pointed it out"!

Only now did Yu Tunzhou notice that "Xiao Yanzhi's" gaze was fixed on the gray-robed man's location.

It seems this person also discovered the gray-robed man's identity early on.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you just bring out the treasures from the Dragon Gate? Divine weapons are sure to stir people's hearts, and they will naturally be unable to restrain themselves from fighting over them," Yu Tunzhou thought to himself.

There was nothing here but boats, and he pondered what benefits he could find in Dragon Gate.

"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist..."

Before the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon could finish speaking, the voice of "Xiao Yanzhi" came from not far away:

"Of everything here, my Heavenly Court shall take at least forty percent."

The voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Looking at the figure represented by Yu Tunzhou, was this person the Heavenly Court?

He remained silent, pleased that this person was drawing attention away from the conflict.

The fact that Xiao Yanzhi was not among the suspects of the Dragon Race suggests that, in Dragon Race eyes, he was either not mysterious enough or not powerful enough.

The Xiao Household is suspected to be backed by the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, one of the Five Emperors, also known as the Northern Emperor.

"What Heavenly Court? It collapsed long ago, are you just a bunch of defeated soldiers guarding the ruins?" Kong Ling's voice rang out with a sneer. "You took forty percent all by yourself, do you even consider us a threat?"

Xiao Yanzhi calmly said, "Purple Forbidden Enclosure and Gouchen are both here, the lineage of star officials still exists, the Zhou Heaven Star Battle Grand Formation is still here, and the Heavenly Court is naturally here as well. If any Demon Race is dissatisfied, they are welcome to come and try."

Kong Ling's gaze swept over Daoist Xuanfa, a mocking smile curving his lips, "Since the Heavenly Court still exists, I wonder whether the position of Northern Emperor belongs to Zhenwu or Purple Forbidden Enclosure?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi's expression finally changed, and his gaze sharpened.

The struggle between Zhenwu and Purple Forbidden Enclosure over the Daoist lineage has been an open secret since the Primordial Era.

Great Emperor Zhenwu was originally one of the Four Saints of the North Pole, serving under the Northern Emperor. Later, the Heavenly Court collapsed, the Northern Emperor disappeared, and the Zhenwu Lineage returned to Daoist School, gradually becoming one of the ancestral temples of Daoist School. The former True Lord Zhenwu also rose to prominence, gradually replacing the Northern Emperor's position and being promoted to Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven, which is the Great Emperor Zhenwu known to all.

In this day and age, Central Plains only know Zhenwu, but not Purple Forbidden Enclosure.

Kong Ling's single sentence instantly made the atmosphere in the room subtly change.

Xiao Yanzhi scoffed, "You feathered beasts of the Demon Race race, how dare you speak ill of the Heavenly Court's hierarchy! Even if there is internal strife within our Heavenly Court, it is our own affair!"

Daoist Xuanfa also frowned, and calmly said, "Our ancestor attained enlightenment in accordance with the will of Heaven, and cannot tolerate the provocation of demons."

They may not be on good terms, as the struggle for lineage is always brutal, but when faced with the Demon Race, they still chose to unite against a common enemy.

However, Xiao Yanzhi was also Buxi with Daoist Xuanfa's words, and his face turned cold.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You represent the Heavenly Court, while the Zhenwu Lineage has long since returned to Daoist School." Kong Ling continued sarcastically, completely unconcerned. "And without the strong support of both Daoism and Buddhism, is the Heavenly Court still the same Heavenly Court?"

She was already seething with anger towards Yu Tunzhou, but since she was not as skilled as him and her knowledge was insufficient, she couldn't very well resort to invoking her ancestors to intimidate him.

Now, facing these agents of the Immortals and Gods, she, as a representative of the Demon Race, has no reason to bow her head.

Heavenly Court?

The Demon Race also had Heavenly Court back then!

"Amitabha." Dharma Master Miedu sighed softly, "Esteemed benefactors, it's best not to argue. The important thing is to secure what's yours first. The Dragon Race won't stand idly by while we act recklessly."

"The Dragon Race is merely clinging to life."

"Xiao Yanzhi" interrupted indifferently, glancing at Miedu.

"What does Buddhist School intend to take from Dragon Gate this time?"

Miedu said solemnly, "This humble monk only wishes to retrieve the relic left behind by the Buddha. This is a sacred object of our Buddhist School; I will not take anything else."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up with surprise. A relic left by the Buddha?

Upon hearing this, Yu Tunzhou immediately inquired about the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon and what exactly the Buddha had left behind.

"... That happened after the establishment of the Dragon Gate," the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon recalled. "That person was indeed Divine Ability powerful, and might not necessarily lose to the Dao Venerable, but what he left behind was not for Buddhist School."

"Who is that for?"

"That compassionate person only said it was left for the Final Tribulation, and anyone with affinity can take it; he did not specifically state that only Buddhist School disciples could take it."

Is this the person I'm destined to meet?

It's a pity that it wasn't a virtuous person who took it.

Yu Tunzhou seemed to be deep in thought, then asked again, "What was left behind by the Human Emperor?"

"It's a tomb!" The voice of the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon grew more solemn. "A great calamity is hidden within the tomb, and its day of release has not yet arrived! This tomb is suppressed deep within the Dragon Gate."

Yu Tunzhou's heart sank. Could this truly be the tomb of the Human Emperor? But why would such a calamity be hidden within? Is it something akin to the Great Sage Huntian, or... was the Human Emperor's later years also fraught with misfortune?

While he was exchanging ideas and pondering with the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon, almost every faction in the arena clashed with each other.

Dharma Master Miedu stated that he would only take one thing, but was ridiculed for the Buddhist School's hypocritical nature. He said that if he only took one thing now, he would probably take whatever he saw later.

Xiao Yanzhi attempted to join forces with Daoist Xuanfa and Xie Linchuan to deal with the Demon Race race first, but the two refused with silence.

An Ruyu had somehow walked up to the woman in the Daoist robe, and the two seemed to be plotting something.

Deng Canglan and Huang Tian were excluded. Huang Tian looked up, seemingly gazing into the distance, while Deng Canglan toyed with the statue in his hand...

Seeing that the pre-battle exchange was making no progress, Xiao Yanzhi's expression grew colder and colder. His gaze swept across the entire room and finally landed on Yu Tunzhou, as if he had finally found someone to vent his anger on.

"Remnants of Jade Void, I'll give you a chance. Come behind me and serve my Northern Emperor lineage, and I'll forgive your past transgressions."

Yu Tunzhou glanced at the man and chose to speak his mind directly:

"You think you can take advantage of me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi showed little anger or shock, only coldly replying:

"Young man, do you know who you're talking to?"

"It's good for young people to have some sharpness. But if that sharpness is too great, they're prone to breaking down."

His response was a Fist Intent.

Behind Yu Tunzhou, a faint phantom image of a towering divine mountain and a churning sea flashed by. He threw a punch at "Xiao Yanzhi," deciding to fight rather than waste words.

He had already learned from the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon that the mastermind behind these guys was not necessarily in much better condition than the Dragon Race.

Even if one can make a move, it comes at a considerable cost, and the number of times one can make a move is limited.

It was for this reason that these guys were standing their ground, none of them making a move rashly, as they had to make sure that what they wanted was really there.

In that case, he wanted to see if this guy who possessed Xiao Yanzhi would dare to waste his precious "strength" on him!

Seeing that Yu Tunzhou and "Xiao Yanzhi" had a conflict, most of the people present just watched coldly.

Xie Linchuan's expression was solemn, and he wanted to intervene, but was stopped by Daoist Xuanfa, who transmitted his voice:

"Your skills are too shallow; you only have the strength for a single strike. Acting rashly will only play right into their hands."

"If the Northern Emperor lineage acts recklessly, my Zhenwu Lineage will not stand idly by."

The Dharma Master Miedu, standing to the side, sighed inwardly. This benefactor Yu was indeed worthy of being Lu Huaiqing's disciple, just as "irritable" as he had been in his youth. The Northern Emperor's lineage was also quick to attack.

However, this place is not like the outside world...

Not far from him, the mysterious woman in the Daoist robe smiled broadly, seemingly quite pleased with Yu Tunzhou's performance.

"What a fine disciple of the Yuxu Sect!"

Xiao Yanzhi dodged the punch, never expecting this boy to be so stubborn, unable to grasp the situation at a time like this, daring to attack him.

But after glancing around, Xiao Yanzhi could only suppress the surging anger in his heart. He was unwilling to fight over pride at this moment. If he ruined his master's important matter, he would be punished.

"Heavenly Court?"

A low, mocking laugh came from the side; it was Kong Ling's mouth.

Xiao Yanzhi took the initiative to retreat, but Yu Tunzhou seemed to have no intention of letting him go, pressing him step by step, as if forcing him to make a move.

In the arena, everyone's eyes flickered, showing no intention of offering any help.

"Gentlemen," the gray-robed figure suddenly spoke, his voice low and hoarse, "This boy is a variable; he may have already secretly colluded with the Dragon Race. It would be better to suppress him first to prevent further complications."

Hearing this, Kong Ling wholeheartedly agreed.

Xie Linchuan raised his eyes and said coldly, "He is a variable, but what are you? Everyone here knows his background, but do you two dare to reveal your master's lineage?"

He was referring not only to the man in the gray robe, but also to the woman in the Daoist robe.

These two seemed like complete strangers in this place.

Kong Ling recognized that the woman in the Daoist robe came from a Daoist temple overseas, but that was all she knew.

As for the figure in the gray robe...

"You must be from the Ji Clan, senior."

An Ruyu suddenly spoke, smiling as she looked at the man in gray robes and revealed his identity.

"Senior, does Ji Zhaoxuan know that he is not the only candidate?"

Xuanfa and the others' eyes sharpened. Was this person from the Great Yan Ji Clan?

The gray-robed man was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "You're quite perceptive, young lady, but too much intelligence can be harmful."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior." An Ruyu paused, her smile deepening. "But Senior should still worry about yourself, after all, those who enter the Dragon Gate are at most at the Half-Step External Scenery."

These words were quite meaningful, and the gray-robed man did not understand them at first.

As soon as An Ruyu finished speaking, Yu Tunzhou, who had closed the distance between himself and the gray-robed man while fighting "Xiao Yanzhi," suddenly turned and threw a punch, coldly saying:

"I haven't seen you outside, yet you're still spouting so much nonsense. Come over here and let me weigh my options."

Yu Tunzhou suddenly leaped up, its movements swift and powerful, leaving no room for escape.

The latter snorted coldly, and a sharp and imposing killing aura suddenly erupted, like Rahu descending upon the world, quelling chaos in all directions.

"The Great Yan Ji Clan's ' Rahu Rebellion-Quelling Cultivated Body ' is said to be a body-refining method that rivals the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and the Nine Revolutions Origin Art. It is rumored to have been passed down by the Human Emperor..."

Dharma Master Miedu whispered, revealing the origin of the Cultivation Method used by the other party.

However, after only three exchanges, the gray-robed man's expression changed, and his arms creaked as he could no longer bear the strain.

His painstakingly cultivated "Rahu Cultivated Body" was far inferior to Yu Tunzhou's!

"I thought he was some important figure."

Yu Tunzhou spoke calmly, then punched the man's raised arms head-on. The Fist Intent was fierce and domineering, striking his chest directly. One after another, there were sounds of "collapse," and the gray-robed man's aura plummeted, clearly indicating that his cultivation had been shattered by the direct impact.

"Turns out he's nothing but a coward who's good at hiding his true colors."

With a thunderous gust of wind, Yu Tunzhou unleashed his full fury, pressing forward relentlessly with extreme dominance, determined to take his opponent's head.

This scene made Kong Ling's heart tremble.

This guy is really reckless!

Could he really not have guessed that everyone here could summon the "Immortals and Gods" behind the scenes at any time?

Xiao Yanzhi, who had been freed from the trap of Yu Tunzhou's change of target, had a gloomy face. He had never been so humiliated and had been forced to retreat again and again by a junior!

"Young man! You've courted death!"

The gray-robed man's roar revealed the true feelings of "Xiao Yanzhi".

Under the relentless pressure from Yu Tunzhou, the gray-robed man finally couldn't hold on any longer, realizing that he would likely die at the hands of this young man on his own.

A glimmer of starlight suddenly appeared between his brows, and a vast, ancient, and emotionless aura emanated from him.

The voice of the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon suddenly rang out. "Fellow Daoist, this person should be from the Star Official lineage, not the mastermind behind it all. Let me throw out a bone to verify his identity."

Yu Tunzhou was taken aback. Bones?

In an instant, as if responding to the aura emanating from the gray-robed man, a staircase gradually appeared in everyone's eyes. Each step was refined and shrunk based on a star, yet its vastness could still be truly perceived.

This long staircase stretched towards a certain point in the Void, and at its end was not a boat, but a divine weapon whose aura was inconspicuous and whose position was uncertain.

"The River Diagram and Luo River Diagram?!"

In an instant, the gray-robed man's aura intensified, and he rushed straight up the long steps, no longer caring about Yu Tunzhou.

Xiao Yanzhi also set off at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist, as expected, what these star officials dream of most is this divine weapon. They are not their target."

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon spoke with absolute certainty.

Yu Tunzhou: "..."

No, this is what you call "bones"?

You can just pass it on to me!

"Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking this. This divine weapon was placed in the Dragon Gate by the Dao Venerable. Even we have no control over it. The ancient Human Emperor borrowed it for a time, but it was returned intact later. Let the two of them fight it out."

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but ask, "Just how many divine weapons and treasures are hidden in this place?"

The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon remained silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "What use is more? Non-Self Dragon Race. And under the overwhelming karma, my Dragon Race dares not keep it. On the contrary, it has attracted many who covet it. Being able to take it all this time is not necessarily a bad thing for me."

Yu Tunzhou and shakes his head inwardly.

He withdrew his fist, his body swaying like a roc spreading its wings, and suddenly turned around, changing his target to pounce on An Ruyu and the woman in the Daoist robe.

"And you!" His voice exploded, his Fist Intent like a waterfall, pressing straight at the woman in the white dress. "You think you can escape after just one blow Dragon Gate?"

An Ruyu blinked, seemingly guessing Yu Tunzhou's purpose, and quietly took a step back, placing the woman in the Daoist robe in front of her.

At the same time, her aura was revealed, as if to prove her identity.

The Daoist woman facing Yu Tunzhou frowned slightly and said solemnly, "Yu Tunzhou, we are fellow disciples. Do not kill each other. With me here today, I will certainly protect you."

Fellow disciples?

Even Yu Tunzhou aback.

"This woman seems to be Yuxu Sect..." For the first time, confusion appeared in the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon's voice. "The white-clad woman's aura is multifaceted, but she is not the mastermind behind it all. Strange... Could it be that this person has not entered the Dragon Gate and is still outside?"

In His view, the people behind all these people had been identified, but their targets had not yet appeared.

It couldn't possibly be the remaining Xuandu, could it?

After a moment of contemplation, the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon adopted the suggestion made by Yu Tunzhou.

In an instant, long staircases appeared one after another in the Void.

At the end of one of the long staircases, a banner appeared, its Yao Qi surging like a tide, covering the sky and the earth. On the banner, one could vaguely see the phantoms of thousands of Demon Race, from the Golden Crow to the Qiongqi, from the Nine-Tailed Fox to Xiangliu, all kinds of races and creatures were contained within the banner.

The banners moved without wind, and with each sway, an aura that made Kong Ling's soul tremble spread out.

Demon-Summoning Banner!

This was forged by the former Demon Emperor and can command all demons under heaven!

Kong Ling instantly pulled Feng Yanleng and rushed up the long steps.

That was their goal for this trip!

Just as they rushed up the long staircase, another long staircase unfolded.

The sudden turn of events made the atmosphere in the room tense.

At the end of each long staircase lies an artifact, whether it be a divine weapon, an ancient treasure, or just a fragment, but the aura emanating from each one is enough to drive the Immortals and Gods of the outside world mad.

With the fortuitous opportunity before them, no one wanted to hide it any longer. They all crushed the tokens in their hands, summoning the being that had been sleeping for millennia behind them.

"Amitabha."

Dharma Master Miedu was the first to move.

With a Buddhist chant, boundless golden light suddenly emanated from Dharma Master Miedu's body.

In the golden light, his figure became blurred, and in its place appeared a more majestic and compassionate figure. The figure sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, wearing a kasaya, and his face was blurred in the Buddha's light, with only a pair of lowered compassionate eyes vaguely visible.

A cloth bag flew out from his sleeve, its mouth opened wide, and it grew larger in the wind, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic sack that could devour the Tuntian earth.

The bag's opening was aimed directly at the entire Dragon Gate, and an irresistible suction force emanated from it, seemingly trying to draw every step of the Dragon Gate, every divine weapon, every wisp of energy, and even the entire world into the bag!

"The things here are tainted by boundless karma; they should first be guided and converted in the Pure Land of Buddhist School."

The voice of compassion was heard, but it only provoked angry curses from all sides.

Even though they weren't the bag's target, Yu Tunzhou and the others were still swaying precariously, as if they could be sucked into it at any moment.

"You traitor to Buddhist School, how dare you!"

Seeing that the River Diagram and Luo River Diagram were trembling, Xiao Yanzhi shouted to stop them.

In an instant, he summoned his own grandmaster, and a purple light appeared between his brows. The light was not intense, but it carried a kind of majesty that Dominion all heavens and controlled the North Star.

A purple light shot into the sky, transforming into the image of an emperor, wearing a crown and a robe of Purple Forbidden Enclosure Star, with the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper at his feet, and a vast Star Palace faintly appearing behind him.

After the imperial figure appeared, it first looked at the gray-robed man, its gaze deep, as if confirming the identity of the Immortals and Gods behind him.

Witnessing this scene, An Ruyu finally became solemn and used magic to summon the Old Mother to descend. After the Eternal Mother of the Stars did not respond, she also looked deeply at the Ji Clan and finally confirmed something.

After summoning Emperor Ying, "Xiao Yanzhi" glanced at Yu Tunzhou's location and quickly revealed Yu Tunzhou's identity as a remnant of the Jade Void Sect through telepathy.

However, Di Ying did not pay any attention to it, nor did he look at Yu Tunzhou because of it.

"Everything here belongs to the Heavenly Court." Emperor Ying spoke, his gaze sweeping across the entire area. His voice was calm, yet carried an unyielding authority. "Non-Self belonging to the Heavenly Court, step back."

This man is far more domineering than even Xiao Yanzhi!

With a wave of his hand, all the stars in the sky appeared, transforming into a tidal wave that descended from the heavens, intending to clear the area. Everyone was within his attack range.

A single hair can affect the whole situation.

After these two made their move, one after another, imposing figures, enough to command the utmost respect and worship from cultivators outside the Dragon Gate, appeared in the world of this place.

A phantom appeared behind Kong Ling, its deep-seated arrogance almost tangible, its aura terrifyingly powerful. Five rays of light slowly swirled behind it, as heavy as the universe, seemingly bearing the foundation of all matter in the myriad realms.

The next moment, Five-Colored Divine Light swept across the sky, and the world suddenly lost its color. The surging tide of stars in the sky was wiped away as if by an invisible hand, and vanished without a trace in an instant.

The divine light, undiminished in its momentum, hurtled straight towards the Tuntian -devouring cloth bag.

Kong Xuan!

A strong contender for the title of the number one person after the sage!

Even the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this moment:

"This peacock is still alive?!"

Behind Daoist Xuanfa, a colossal Dharma Aspect with the body of a tortoise and the tail of a snake appeared. It was not Zhenwu, but Xuanwu, carrying the immense power of water, rushing towards the location of the bag.

"Zhenwu..."

Di Ying let out a cold snort with an ambiguous meaning, but did not retaliate at this moment.

For a time, the overly illustrious Buddhist School master attracted attacks from all sides.

The bag trembled violently under the combined attack of the powers of several Immortals and Gods.

With a muffled thud, the bag flew back, its opening closed, and the light dimmed.

The Buddha image behind Dharma Master Miedu also became somewhat fainter, clearly indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

"Excellent." The Buddha's shadow sighed softly, his voice like a bell, carrying a strange penetrating power that struck the hearts of everyone present. "You all have deep attachments. This humble monk merely wishes to resolve the karmic entanglements here with Buddhist teachings. Why press me so hard?"

"Resolve karma?" The five-colored phantom behind Kong Ling sneered, its voice like five celestial bodies simultaneously crushing down. "You think a simple bag can solve your Buddhist School karma? You bald monk, you're even more shameless than before!"

Then, the Five-Colored Divine Light swept down towards the location of the Demon-Summoning Banner, but was blocked by a beam of starlight.

"Purple Forbidden Enclosure, are you going to stop me?"

A defiant voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, and a fierce, illusory figure appeared behind Kong Ling.

"Clear the area first, then we can discuss the division of the Dragon Gate," Emperor Shadow said calmly.

The next moment, starlight surged forth like a tide, indiscriminately sweeping over everyone.

Kong Xuan snorted coldly, but did not refuse. The Five-Colored Divine Light spun like a millstone, and each rotation caused the Void to collapse, as if it wanted to grind the foundation of this world into dust.

In His view, this statement was not wrong; those who were not strong enough should be eliminated first before competing for the rest!

Huang Tian witnessed the starlight sweeping in, his life hanging by a thread, when the majestic voice rang in his ears once more:

"Give your body to me, and you'll still have a sliver of hope!"

"Once this is accomplished, I will assist you in transforming into the Great Sun Golden Crow Body!"

Looking at the "spectacular scene" before him, Deng Canglan realized that his master's jinx had indeed come true.

Left with no other choice, he could only crush the statue in his hand, summoning the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The woman in the Daoist robe standing in front of An Ruyu also contacted her ancestor at this moment and quickly transmitted her voice:

"Reporting to Grandmaster! The Human Emperor's ruins have not yet appeared, but a Jade Void disciple who was left behind in the Central Plains has been discovered. This young man possesses eight or nine inheritances, but we do not know which Grandmaster he is a disciple of."

"Oh?"

A soft laugh rang out, and a lofty voice seemed to come from beyond the boundless universe.

"It's alright. Now that I'm here, there's no reason for my Yuxu Sect disciples to suffer any injustice."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the Daoist robe smiled, a hint of pride in her expression. Who in the world didn't know that the Jade Void Lineage was extremely protective of its own and most vengeful?

The Northern Emperor lineage thought that their ancestor could not manifest in the present world, so they wanted to settle old scores and bully the Jade Void Lineage at will. They were simply courting death!

That ethereal voice chuckled again:

"Let me see which junior brother has taken this disciple as his disciple... Hmm?!"

The woman in the Daoist robe froze with a smile.

She quickly became surprised and suspicious. What could possibly cause her grandmaster to be so shaken?

The last sound suddenly rose in pitch, making her feel as if she could see her grandmaster startled and abruptly standing up, knocking over the teacup on the table!

She looked up and saw a bright light that shone brighter than the sun, stinging her eyes. The white light seemed to contain all the heavens and the myriad worlds, with layers upon layers of heaven and earth arising and dying within it. The Qi of Dao and Virtue was so dense that it was almost tangible, transforming into billions of pure wisps that fell down, each wisp heavier than a mountain.

In an instant, all kinds of Divine Ability and Law Treasure, whether it be the Five-Colored Divine Light, starlight, or Buddha light, were absorbed into it.

The world was cleansed.

The next moment, the emperor's figure that Dominion all heavens suddenly staggered, as if hit on the back of the head by something. All the stars in the sky collapsed, and his figure began to dissipate.

"You all, get out of here at once!"
