Tongtian and Nuwa Both Intervene

Meanwhile, Yuanshi Tianzun, in the Jade Void Palace, could endure it no longer.

He was a Saint of the present age, a being whom ten thousand calamities could not wear down and ten thousand ages could not extinguish.

How could he tolerate being insulted by a sharp-tongued wretch?

Unable to bear it any longer, he sprang to his feet in a rage and hurled the treasure in his hand.

Daoist Randeng, standing beside him, had wanted to stop him but was too late. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

That treasure was Yuanshi Tianzun's prized treasure: the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

It was also one of the most famous treasures in the Primordial World.

Now, this treasure flew out from the depths of the Jade Void Palace, carrying an unparalleled killing aura.

In an instant, it crossed the river of space and time and came crashing down at Ye Xuan's head.

In that instant, the hairs on Ye Xuan's body stood on end, and he had an inexplicable sense that disaster was upon him.

Even the air between heaven and earth seemed to congeal at that moment.

Ye Xuan struggled to raise his head and looked toward the distant void.

He saw an unparalleled treasure bearing down on him with supreme pressure.

Before Ye Xuan could react, the treasure's overwhelming pressure came crashing down upon his head.

In an instant, it was as though he had been pinned beneath a hundred thousand mountains, and even breathing became difficult.

Ye Xuan struggled to raise his head, his gaze burning as he looked at the legendary Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was Yuanshi Tianzun's signature treasure.

It was said to have been formed from the Thirty-Sixth-Grade World-Purifying Azure Lotus.

The Thirty-Sixth-Grade World-Cleansing Azure Lotus had transformed into three supreme-grade Innate Merit Spirit Treasures in all.

The flower became the Coiled Dragon Crutch, which went to Taishang Laozi.

The lotus leaf became the Qingping Sword, which went to Sect Master Tongtian.

The lotus root became the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which went to Yuanshi Tianzun.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was the very treasure now bearing down on him with the power of heaven and earth.

Ye Xuan's expression instantly turned ice-cold.

A dignified Saint had actually made a move against him, the Human Emperor.

It seemed this fellow had abandoned even the dignity of a Saint.

He was willing to risk backlash from the Great Dao to get rid of him.

At that thought, a cold smile appeared on Ye Xuan's lips.

It seemed this fellow wasn't as difficult to deal with as he had imagined.

A few words of abuse from him had been enough to make the man snap.

Ye Xuan stood ramrod straight, like an unparalleled javelin.

His gaze was savage and terrifying, like that of an eternal fiend standing tall between heaven and earth.

Yet above the head of this peerless demon king, boundless fortune gathered without dispersing.

At that moment, a gentle breeze seemed to sweep across the entire Primordial World.

The breeze came from all directions, converging on Chaoge from the depths of the Primordial World.

It carried unparalleled spiritual power as it converged on Chaoge.

It seemed that the will of heaven and earth was coming to the Human Emperor's aid.

The Human Emperor's fortune had now been activated by Ye Xuan, and with the will of heaven and earth added to it, its power was naturally boundless.

With fortune protecting his body, the will of all living beings gathering around him, and his feet planted in the Human Race Holy Land, he naturally faced Yuanshi Tianzun without the slightest fear.

In the sky, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi bore down with boundless might.

Its five-colored radiance spread throughout the heavens, and ten thousand rays of rosy light shone over the mountains and rivers.

At this moment, it displayed its supreme sacred presence in full.

The head of the Jade Ruyi was shaped like an Auspicious Cloud, and upon it were three boundless jewels.

They shone azure, emerald, and crimson, respectively.

Along the handle of the Jade Ruyi were nine divine dragons, each rising or descending in a different pose.

Yuanshi Tianzun often held this treasure while contemplating the Heavenly Dao.

It also occasionally transformed into a horsetail whisk of gold and jade, helping Tianzun sort through the secrets of heaven.

It was almost certainly the most renowned treasure in the Primordial World.

The treasure was just about to strike him on the head.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, a wicked, captivating smile curling his lips.

What a fine Yuanshi Tianzun-

Since you broke the rules first, don't blame me for showing you no courtesy.

I'll keep this treasure in Chaoge first, Ye Xuan thought with a cold smile.

Just then, another surge of unparalleled energy suddenly appeared.

At the edge of heaven and earth, a streak of azure light suddenly shot across the distance, carrying boundless might toward them.

Like a rainbow piercing the sun, the azure light came from behind and overtook the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, intercepting it directly.

The two treasures collided in an instant.

Two forces of unparalleled might crashed together.

"Boom-!"

The boundless force of the explosion erupted in all directions. In an instant, an incomparably vast destructive force formed a shockwave that swept outward.

In a flash, heaven and earth went dark, and boundless energy swept across the void.

Fortunately, Chaoge was protected by the fortune of the human race. Otherwise, the entire city would have been swept flat.

Only then did the two treasures in the sky finally settle down.

The one above the void was Yuanshi Tianzun's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Opposite it was a long azure sword.

Its blade was covered in dark, diamond-shaped patterns depicting azure lotuses, and it bore the two characters "Qingping" in mysterious seal-script inscriptions.

The blade was not straight, and its ridge formed a distinct line. Its widest point was about half a foot from the hilt.

From there, it curved inward, flared outward again near the tip, then narrowed to a sharp point. Its whole body shimmered with azure light, giving it an icy chill and a keenness that could sever a hair blown against it.

But the flickering azure light was far too dazzling.

As a result, those of weaker cultivation could not make out what treasure it was.

Ye Xuan, however, saw it perfectly clearly.

It seemed that Saint Tongtian of Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island had made his move.

Since Saint Tongtian had intervened, Ye Xuan naturally had no need to draw upon his own hidden resources.

Sect Master Tongtian possessed many treasures.

There was the Purple-Gold Hammer, which nurtured purple and gold Qi.

There was the Six Souls Banner, which severed souls.

There was the strange and unpredictable Heart-Slaying Lock.

And there were the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, said to be unbreakable except by the Four Saints.

But this Qingping Sword before him was just as famous.

Its power was also tremendous.

Even in the legends, when Saint Tongtian fought the other Saints in the later stages of the Investiture of the Gods,

he had repeatedly followed the course of heaven's decree and used this treasure to strike the other Saints, displaying its brilliance.

At that moment, the Qingping Sword hovered directly above the Human Emperor's head, bobbing up and down.

It completely blocked the power of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Sharp-eyed Ye Xuan spotted another treasure nearby.

It was a round treasure emitting a red glow.

The round treasure was exceedingly beautiful and was now spinning ceaselessly where it hovered nearby.

Ye Xuan recognized it at a glance.

Wasn't this Empress Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball?

Empress Nuwa likewise possessed many treasures and could even be said to be quite wealthy.

There was the Demon-Summoning Banner, which summoned all the demons under heaven.

There was the Merit Whip, which possessed the power to create humans.

There was also the Precious Lotus Lantern, which nurtured the power of compassion.

And there was the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, which bore the merit of opening heaven, among others.

But the most famous of Empress Nuwa's treasures was this Red Embroidered Ball.

It was said that the Red Embroidered Ball governed the three marriages of heaven, earth, and humanity, and that Old Ancestor Hongjun had given it to Nuwa at the Treasure Distribution Cliff.

Its power was said to be immense. No matter how great one's magic power, once the Red Embroidered Ball set its sights on someone, there was no escape and no way to evade it.

Even a Saint struck by it would suffer grievous injuries and excruciating pain.

He hadn't expected this treasure to appear here too.

Ye Xuan watched the jeweled tassels, dangling beads, and rings on the Red Embroidered Ball jingle.

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Had Nuwa intervened too?

If Sect Master Tongtian had not intervened, Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball could naturally have blocked the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi as well.

What did that mean?

It meant that, so far, Nuwa had developed no ill will toward him.

She had even openly intervened to protect him. In that case,

thanks to his efforts, his relationship with Nuwa had indeed improved tremendously.

Then Nuwa must have had another purpose in sending the Nine-Tailed Fox to Chaoge?

Having thought it through, Ye Xuan couldn't help smiling.

He then took a deep breath, bowed toward the distance, and spoke calmly.
