Their real bodies appeared outside the golden pagodas around the Tianyuan Region’s border.
A sinister smile twisted Hong Jiuyuan’s lips when he saw that the several Law Domain experts had returned to their positions.
He folded his hands in a seal with lightning speed. The ancient Genesis Runes on the golden pagoda grew brighter, and the Genesis Qi between heaven and earth frantically surged. Soon, the golden pagoda emitted a terrifying energy that would make even Law Domain experts turn pale.
Many onlookers’ hearts trembled with fear. Such power and momentum…presumably, supreme sovereign Wan Zu racked his brain to create these golden pagodas.
The Genesis Qi between the heaven and the earth rushed towards the golden pagoda, and eventually, an endless Genesis Qi vortex formed above it.
The vortex was thick and deep and made one’s scalp go numb.
Everyone within a tens-of-thousand-mile radius was shocked to find that the universe Genesis Qi had become much weaker. The universe Genesis Qi was vast and endless, and it required immense power to weaken the Genesis Qi within such a huge area.
Om!
The Genesis Qi vortex slowly rotated, and in the end, it whizzed down and sank into the nine-story golden pagoda. The pagoda erupted with billions of rays of golden light, and the blinding brightness suppressed even the blazing sun.
At the same time, the other eight golden pagodas around the Tianyuan Region similarly exploded with boundless golden light.
...
Tianyuan Utopia.
The atmosphere in the Tianyuan Utopia was oppressive.
Chi Jing and the other grand elders stood in the void. All elite experts from the Tianyuan Region had gathered in the Tianyuan Utopia, and powerful undulating Genesis Qi had filled the sky.
A huge light screen stretched across the void. It was the brilliant light released from the nine golden pagodas.
Chi Jing watched the light screen form with an ashen face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Each of those golden pagodas needs to be controlled by a Law Domain expert. When did the Great Five Alliance ever have nine Law Domain experts?!”
Others might not see it, but Chi Jing and the other grand elders felt it clearly. A Law Domain expert guarded each golden pagoda, but the number of Law Domain experts present exceeded the Great Five Alliance’s strength.
Sect master Xuan Kun looked glum. Law Domain experts wouldn’t emerge so easily. Therefore, it went without saying that the extra Law Domain experts had come from the Wanzu Region!
Supreme sovereign Wan Zu had disregarded his face and dispatched the Wanzu Region’s Law Domain experts to participate in the war.
Chi Jing drew a deep breath and cast a glance below her at Zhou Yuan. Her lips moved slightly, and her faint voice rang in his ears, “If the Tianyuan Utopia collapses today, I will teleport you out at the last moment. Hunyuan Heaven is vast, and even the Wanzu Region won’t be able to find you that easily. You should be safer there.”
Zhou Yuan's pupils shrank. From Chi Jing’s tone, she seemed to be making arrangements in case she died. It seemed she didn’t plan to flee even if the Tianyuan Utopia collapsed; instead, she was planning to be destroyed with it.
Zhou Yuan clenched his hands, staring at the light screen. The nine golden pagodas seemed to exude a deathly aura, and he once again felt small and weak.
He had already been forced to flee Cangxuan Heaven. He didn’t want to be forced out of the Tianyuan Region again.
...
As Hong Jiuyuan watched the destructive power emanate from the golden pagodas, his eyes turned strangely solemn. He lifted his hand, and a golden crystal flashed out. A golden cloud was faintly visible within the crystal, and the cloud was spewing out endless golden lightning bolts.
It was the mystical creature from the Golden Lightning Abyss!
With a flick of his finger, the mystical creature swiftly rose into the sky and floated in the endless void. It hovered at the exact center of the nine golden pagodas.
Boom!
The nine golden pagodas brewing destructive power shook, and nine thousand-foot golden torrents shot into the sky. The power they contained shattered space and hurled spatial fragments in all directions.
Amidst shocked gazes, the nine golden torrents blasted towards the golden crystal in the endless void.
Boom!
Space continued to collapse.
Even Law Domain experts from other forces stared horror-struck at the terrifying Genesis Qi.
Om!
Ripples rapidly bloomed around the golden crystal. The next second, the crystal rotated, and its mirrored surface released countless rays of light. The light rays condensed at an astonishing speed and finally pointed toward something within the Tianyuan Region.
"Found it." A cold smile tugged at the corners of Hong Jiuyuan's mouth.
It was the entrance to the Tianyuan Utopia!
Boom!
As though drawn by some kind of force, the converged nine golden torrents engulfed the golden crystal and pierced through space with destructive power. In the end, amidst stunned gazes, it fiercely slammed into the entrance to the Tianyuan Utopia!
Destruction descended at that moment!
Chapter 1060 Sky Illuminating Eye
Boom!
Like a river, the terrifying golden torrent pierced space and blasted through the endless void.
The vast torrent was clearly visible to the million Tianyuan Region citizens, and the destructive power it contained made their Spirits tremble with fear.
Everyone in the Tianyuan Region was terrified because they knew a huge calamity was about to descend, and as members of the Tianyuan Region, its destruction would impact them hugely. The peaceful and orderly cultivation they had would be destroyed, and to establish a new order, they would inevitably have to experience killings and conflicts.
However, even if they wanted to participate in the war, they would be powerless against attacks of that level. They could only helplessly watch the torrent of destruction pierce the void and wait for their fate.
Rumble!
Amidst countless shocked gazes, the golden torrent struck a spot in the void. The void began to collapse, forming a massive black hole, and in the depths of the black hole seemed to be a domain with numerous floating islands.
It was Tianyuan Utopia!
But as the void continued to collapse, a huge circular light diagram suddenly emerged in front of the entrance. The light diagram, a protection boundary that Cang Yuan had personally set up in the past, was mysterious and exuded tremendous power, and its core was three mystical creatures.
The terrifying golden torrent struck the light diagram boundary, creating berserk ripples, but the boundary was clearly unimaginably durable. No matter how it was battered, there wasn’t a trace of damage.
Countless Tianyuan Region citizens breathed a sigh of relief.
In the void above the border, Hong Jiuyuan watched with narrowed eyes. He muttered, “Is that the protective barrier that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan set up in the past? It’s indeed frightening.”
He couldn’t help shuddering at the power emanated from the boundary. Even if all their Law Domain experts simultaneously launched attacks, they wouldn’t be able to shake the boundary in any way.
“Unfortunately for them…” Hong Jiuyuan shook his head again, and one of the three mystical creatures that formed the light diagram boundary fell into the alliance’s hands.
He folded his hands together.
Om!
The golden crystal engulfed by the golden torrent cracked, then broke into fragments.
The inside, which were like layers of cloud, was also torn apart.
Mighty power gushed out, and the golden torrent immediately absorbed it. The torrent surged wildly, and its momentum grew increasingly terrifying.
Most importantly, as the golden crystal shatter, the numerous light runes within the originally perfect boundary began to dim, and flaws emerged on the perfect b
oundary.
Hua!
The Tianyuan Region citizens all tensed up again.
Within Tianyuan Utopia, Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun and the others’ hearts also sank.
“I can't let them attack anymore,” Chi Jing uttered in a low voice.
Sect master Xuan Kun nodded. “What do you plan to do?”
Chi Jing lifted her head, gazing at the bright sun hanging above the Tianyuan Utopia. It was the Sky Illuminating Eye, a double lotus Saint treasure well-known throughout Hunyuan Heaven.
She stretched out her hand, a token flashing in the center of her palm. The token was engraved with a deep ancient eye that emitted a mysterious aura.
It was the Sky Illuminating Token.
A saint treasure like the Sky Illuminating Eye possessed an independent spiritual intellect. It only listened to supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s orders, and Chi Jing could only control it using Cang Yuan’s power from the Sky Illuminating Token he had left behind.
As Chi Jing activated the Sky Illuminating Token, a wisp of azure mist rose from the token and dissipated in the void.
At that moment, everyone in Tianyuan Utopia felt the universe Genesis Qi surge frantically. Startled, they lifted their heads and saw a gap tear open in the scorching sun that hung high in the sky.
An incomparably huge, ancient, mysterious eye was seemingly within the gap.
Even Law Domain experts felt an intense chill rush out of their hearts when they looked at the eye.
“That’s…” Zhou Yuan’s eyes widened.
“It’s the saint treasure that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan left behind, the Sky Illuminating Eye!” Qin Lian exclaimed, a look of surprise lighting up her icy and solemn face.
"Master Chi Jing is going to mobilize the Sky Illuminating Eye! The Sky Illuminating Eye’s power can definitely defeat them!" Yi Qiushui exclaimed with excitement.
Although surprised, Zhou Yuan still knitted his brows in a frown, and a look of worry remained in his eyes. Supreme sovereign Wan Zu must already know about the Sky Illuminating Eye’s existence, so he must have come prepared.
However, Chi Jing's move undoubtedly raised morale in the Tianyuan Utopia. The crowd cheered in unison, and they seemed to have full confidence in the legendary saint treasure.
The Sky Illuminating Eye slowly turned towards the outside of the Tianyuan Utopia, penetrated the void and locked onto Hong Jiuyuan’s direction.
Hong Jiuyuan’s expression abruptly changed. The crisis that descended from the sky made him know that the Tianyuan Region had begun to fight back.
“Did they directly activate the Sky Illuminating Eye?” he asked solemnly.
Swoosh!
A wisp of flame spurted from the Sky Illuminating Eye hanging high above the Tianyuan Utopia.
The flame was only around a foot long at first, but it blazed and transformed into a white flaming meteor when it penetrated the void.
Boom!
The flame meteor shattered the void and appeared next to Hong Jiuyuan as though it had teleported. An indescribable force shrouded the entire space, and even Hong Jiuyuan couldn’t break the void to escape.
The flame around the meteor was Saint fire! And within the meteor was a power that only a Saint expert could possess! If and when the meteor fell, even Law Domain experts wouldn’t survive!
When Hong Jiuyuan saw the meteor speeding down from above, his expression changed drastically because he knew he couldn’t escape. So, he didn’t make any useless movements. He knew someone would help out, given the attack’s power.
Om!
As the burning meteor neared, a mysterious light beam pierced the sky under countless astonished gazes and shone on the meteor.
The meteor enveloped in Saint fire melted at a terrifying speed and completely vanished only a few meters from Hong Jiuyuan.
A gust of wind lashed Hong Jiuyuan’s face, but his countenance remained unchanged even though his back was soaked in cold sweat.
Chi Jing’s and the others’ expressions changed dramatically.
They shifted their gaze to the outside of the void and locked their eyes on a golden pagoda at the Tianyuan Region border. A green-robed figure was standing there with his hands clasped behind his back, grinning.
He wasn’t unfamiliar to Chi Jing and the others. He was Zhao Xiansun from the Wanzu Region.
Zhao Xiansun held an eight-sided bronze mirror in his hand. The mirror looked old and ordinary, but Chi Jing and the others turned ashen when they laid their eyes on it.
Chi Jing gritted her teeth, and an icy voice rang out.
“Ancestral Spirit Mirror!”
It was the Wanzu Region’s Saint treasure, which was also classed at the double lotus grade, and it was listed 11th on the Saint Treasure List!
Chapter 1061 Last Resort
Tianyuan Utopia.
As the light screen flickered, Zhao Xiansun’s figure gradually emerged. The eight-sided bronze mirror in his hand immediately caused a commotion in the Tianyuan Utopia.
“The Wanzu Region even brought out the Ancestral Spirit Mirror. They really want to destroy our Tianyuan Region!”
“They are going too far! If supreme sovereign Cang Yuan was around, would the Wanzu Region dare go that far?!”
“Our supreme sovereign has been gone for many years. I wonder how he is. If he’s fine, why would he ignore the Tianyuan Region’s affairs?!”
“How could something happen to our supreme sovereign? Isn’t chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan his newly accepted disciple?”
"That...may not be the case…maybe the five grand elders made it up to reassure people.”
There were whispers throughout the Tianyuan Utopia, and everyone’s heart was shaken.
They wouldn’t dare to say such things in the past, but the Tianyuan Region was facing a huge crisis. If the people’s minds weren’t set at ease, panic would no doubt spread through the Tianyuan Region.
Their murmuring voices had a significant impact on the Tianyuan Region’s morale, and some of the gazes on Zhou Yuan turned somewhat complicated.
Zhou Yuan's expression was indifferent. It wasn’t that he didn’t notice the gazes but that it was meaningless to say anything in response because the slightest carelessness could lead to the Tianyuan Region being in danger of being overthrown. At that time, it wouldn’t matter whether or not he really was supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s official disciple.
Zhou Yuan stared intently at Zhao Xiansun’s figure on the light screen. His speculation was indeed correct. The enemy was aware of the Sky Illuminating Eye’s existence and had a way to deal with it.
Supreme sovereign Wan Zu was determined to win!
Even Zhou Yuan, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help feeling worried and anxious in the face of such a situation. Only his master Cang Yuan could solve their present situation, but if Cang Yuan appeared, he would fall into supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s scheme.
Zhou Yuan wasn’t worried that anything would happen to his master, but he felt that something might happen to Yaoyao.
Zhou Yuan felt that supreme sovereign Wanzu’s plot was targeting Yaoyao.
On one side was the Tianyuan Region’s calamity, and on the other was Yaoyao.
"Too weak, I’m still too weak..." He gritted his teeth and murmured bitterly in his heart.
Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun and the others all coldly stared at Zhao Xiansun’s figure.
Atop the golden pagoda, Zhao Xiansun clasped the eight-sided bronze mirror in his hand, and as if he noticed the gazes of Chi Jing and the others, he lifted his head and grinned at them. It was a taunting smile, as though he were telling Chi Jing and the others that they couldn’t change the ending no matter how desperately they struggled.
“Brother Jiuyuan, continue to attack.” He tilted his head, lips opening and closing, but his voice seemed able to penetrate space and directly fell into the ears of Hong Jiuyuan, who was on another side of the border.
Hong Jiuyuan exhaled and
nodded.
The next moment, he changed his hand seal, and golden torrents continuously spewed from the nine pagodas and swept across the sky, causing strange spectacles throughout the world.
The golden torrents were as mighty and vast as a galaxy, and they incessantly bombarded the light boundary at the Tianyuan Utopia’s entrance.
Dong!
An indescribable boom resounded with every strike, and those booms directly formed a tangible sound wave. The thunderous collision could be heard throughout the entire Tianyuan Region.
Fear filled countless people’s eyes as the people helplessly watched the destructive attacks in the void.
Under the battering, the corner of the light boundary dimmed and constantly rippled with large waves.
Everyone trembled, praying the light diagram boundary could withstand the terrifying attacks. Their prayers seemed effective. The dimmed boundary corner constantly quaked under the bombardment, but the boundary still stood firm at the Tianyuan Utopia’s entrance.
This gave a glimmer of hope to the countless Tianyuan Region citizens.
Faint sighs of relief could be heard throughout the Tianyuan Utopia. Even if a corner of the protective boundary that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan had left behind was chipped, it wouldn’t be so easy to destroy it.
Zhou Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that supreme sovereign Wan Zu was too impatient. With only one mystical creature in his hands, he could at most weaken the protective boundary. It would be difficult to shake its foundation.
From the looks of it, if supreme sovereign Wan Zu didn’t take action himself, he might not succeed in breaking the protective boundary.
Zhou Yuan wasn't the only one who had such thoughts. Within the Tianyuan Utopia, many people’s tensed hearts relaxed.
Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun and the others glanced at one another. Although their faces remained solemn, the glum expression between their eyebrows had faded because the protective boundary’s defensive power was beyond their expectations.
"I hope supreme sovereign Wan Zu will not personally attack,” patriarch Bian Chang said.
