Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

When Laozi and Subhuti attacked simultaneously, their power was like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth, shaking the entire Three Realms with earth-shattering force.

With two sage clones attacking simultaneously, even if Yin Ziyu had a backup plan, he couldn't save them both at the same time. Once they gained an advantage, their attack would be overwhelming.

This is a Saint's clone; any extra one could change the course of the battle. If the rogue cultivators don't intervene, the Jie Sect has a total of five Quasi-Saints: Jin Ling, Yun Xiao, Gui Ling, Wu Dang, and Wu Yun Xian. The Shang Dynasty has one person: Yin Ziyu, and one person: Jiu Feng, for a total of seven.

In terms of numbers, the combined forces of the three religions were almost overwhelming, with more than double the number of people. With two additional avatars of saints, almost everyone was shocked, and this was almost a certain defeat.

For a moment, all the great gods of the Three Realms were shocked by this sudden change and began to discuss it.

Zhen Yuanzi, residing in the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, gazed at the terrifying power fluctuations in the sky and said solemnly, "With the Supreme Lord and Subhuti attacking simultaneously, even if Ziyu has a backup plan, how can he save us? This great calamity is probably already a foregone conclusion. The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation will undoubtedly be broken."

The Styx Ancestor, amidst the sea of ​​blood, sighed helplessly, saying, "Back then, when Houtu initiated the cycle of reincarnation, she hoped that the Netherworld could become a way out for the Witch Clan, but in the end, the Witch Clan was destroyed. Now that the Nine Phoenixes have returned, they still possess such strength. They absolutely cannot let them live. This Nine Phoenixes has actually cultivated all the laws of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. As expected of the only person in the Witch Clan with a primordial spirit, the Supreme Lord Laozi will surely take action to eliminate this future threat. It's a pity that the Witch Clan will ultimately be completely wiped out."

It's no wonder these rogue cultivators are cautious. The once mighty Wu Clan, which dominated the entire Three Realms, has now been almost completely wiped out. During the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the few remaining great Wu Clan members all perished, and only the Nine Phoenixes managed to escape and survive.

Kunpeng's gaze was also solemn as he sighed, "If Jiufeng had truly perfected the Twelve Laws, I wonder how far she could have gone. It's a pity that facing Laozi's attack, Jiufeng will likely not survive. The Wu Clan has never respected sages, and the karmic ties between the sages and the Wu Clan are too heavy, so they absolutely cannot let Jiufeng live. It's lamentable that such a heroic figure, who once charged into the Heavenly Court with such valor, has now met such a tragic end."

In the Western Kunlun Immortal Realm, the Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly and sighed softly, "The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is now doomed to fall. Once the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is broken and the Nine Phoenixes die, the two sage avatars, together with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, will instantly quell the chaos in the Three Realms, except for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Alas, the Jie Sect and Ziyu, even though they have made a name for themselves since the Investiture of the Gods, are ultimately no match for fate."

The Great God Lei Ze, surrounded by endless lightning, said in a deep voice, "We should observe the situation quietly for now and not get involved. After this great battle, both the Jie Sect and the remnants of the Yin Shang Dynasty will probably perish. Once the Nine Phoenixes are defeated and the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation is broken, the two Saintly Avatars, together with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, can destroy the Heart Realm in one fell swoop, and the Great Tribulation will end."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded in agreement, saying, "What you say is very true, fellow Daoist. Alas, since the beginning of time, countless heroes have perished, and they are just one of them. It is truly lamentable. Since the beginning of time, countless innate gods and demons, such as Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Dong Wang Gong, have all perished. Now, Zi Yu is likely to join their ranks as well."

"."

Everyone fell silent, gazing at the fierce battleground, their hearts filled with countless emotions. The rise and fall of this world, its glory and disgrace, were but fleeting clouds in the grand scheme of things.

Just when everyone thought defeat was inevitable and the situation was beyond saving, the tide suddenly turned in an instant.

Just as the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was about to be destroyed by the combined forces, Yin Ziyu suddenly descended upon it.

In an instant, the transcendent power born from Yin Ziyu's transcendent heart spread outwards from him like ripples. The transcendent power was like an invisible yet indestructible barrier, repelling all the infinite laws that tried to approach. No matter how they attacked, they could not break through Yin Ziyu's transcendent power defense.

At this moment, it seemed that all the power of laws was completely helpless in the face of this seemingly small power of transcendence.

This scene left everyone in the Three Realms stunned and speechless.

"How can it be!"

Facing the enormous golden swastika that blotted out the sky and crushed down with earth-shattering power, Yin Ziyu remained calm. His transcendent power surged and instantly condensed into a pair of giant white palms.

These hands, seemingly from the beginning of chaos, carried an unstoppable and supreme aura, steadily supporting the enormous golden swastika.

Yes, an uncontrollable force, that is the power of transcendence.

Yin Ziyu's appearance and his ability to neutralize the killing move caused a flash of surprise and wariness in Subhuti's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "You've finally shown yourself. What level are you at?"

Yin Ziyu said calmly and in a composed tone, "I call this realm the Heart of Transcendence."

These words caused astonishment from all sides of the Three Realms, and the great gods from all sides were in an uproar, discussing the matter extensively.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were filled with doubt as he muttered to himself, "The Heart of Transcendence, what is the Heart of Transcendence? Could this be the latest realm of the Dao of the Heart? Is it equivalent to the realm of Quasi-Saint? I never expected that Ziyu would actually take this step and create a new realm beyond Quasi-Saint. Why is this power so incredible!"

Ancestor Styx also had a hint of doubt: "I really don't know how this realm compares to that of a Quasi-Saint? He actually managed to lift the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation; this transcendent power is quite extraordinary."

Kunpeng also looked incredulous and said, "The Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation gathers the power of ten thousand Buddhas of Buddhism and the power of three great masters. Such divine might was actually blocked. If it were an early Quasi-Saint, it would have been reduced to dust in one blow. Could it be that this Heart of Transcendence has just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and already possesses such power beyond that of a Quasi-Saint? It shouldn't be like this."

The Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and said, "What exactly is this transcendent heart, and what kind of power is this?"

The Great God Lei Ze said, "Knowing that the opponent has a saintly avatar, yet daring to fight him, he must have made preparations. Now it seems that this transcendent heart is Zi Yu's ultimate means. Perhaps, this realm will truly change the order of the Three Realms in the future. Since the Dao Ancestor began his teachings, no new realm has ever appeared in the Three Realms."

"."

For a time, opinions were divided throughout the Three Realms, all of whom were shocked by this sudden "transcendent heart" realm. Everyone focused their attention on Yin Ziyu, filled with curiosity and anticipation, wanting to see if this new realm could turn the tide!

What shocked everyone now was why Yin Ziyu, who had just broken through to a new level, was able to possess such great power.
If it were a Quasi-Saint, under Subhuti and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, it would be turned to ashes. Even a top-grade innate defensive spiritual treasure would not be able to stop it. That is what is truly shocking.

However, they did not understand that Yin Ziyu's change in realm and perfection was a change in the fundamental logic of cultivation.

The realm of Quasi-Saint is simply surpassing that of Grand Luo Golden Immortal. In other words, Quasi-Saint is someone who has found a new path to advancement beyond Grand Luo Golden Immortal. As for attaining the Dao, that's out of the question.

Yin Ziyu's transcendent heart fundamentally negates everything he has done since he began cultivating. He has long since broken through all the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and given birth to the power of transcendence. His ultimate goal is to break through all the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and attain enlightenment.

These two points are logically different, and therefore their essence is different. One is simply improving one's cultivation level, while the other is preparing to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. How can they be compared?

First of all, the cultivation level of Quasi-Saint is itself within the shackles and rules of the Heavenly Dao, while the realm of Transcendence is the current state of one's true self transcending all the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, perfecting the transcendence of one's true self.

One is essentially within the rules, and the other is essentially outside the rules.

Of course, the Way of Heaven cannot prevent all beings from attaining the Primordial Chaos, therefore Yin Ziyu is not wrong outside of the rules.

However, this undoubtedly shocked all parties in the Three Realms, even the several saints were shocked at this moment.

Yin Ziyu's move revealed his transcendent state of mind, shocking even Laozi of Taiqing Heaven.

Originally, in a peaceful and tranquil state, Lao Tzu was sitting leisurely, observing the evolution of the eons, with everything under his control.

However, when Yin Ziyu revealed his transcendent state of mind, this unprecedented significance was truly earth-shattering, instantly shocking Laozi.

Laozi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock. He involuntarily stood up, his usual calm and indifferent demeanor completely gone, replaced by a solemn expression: "This boy has actually come this far! He actually intends to prove his Dao through force!"

As the foremost among all sages, Lao Tzu naturally understood Yin Ziyu's realm in an instant.

At the same time, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable in the Jade Purity Heavenly Sacred Realm couldn't help but exclaim, "Elder brother, what is the mystery of this Heart of Transcendence? How could it withstand the attack of the Myriad Buddhas Formation and the Saint's clone so soon after breaking through?"

Laozi's gaze was solemn as he stared intently at Yin Ziyu and slowly said, "Since this realm is the Heart of Transcendence, it means that one has seen through everything in the Heavenly Dao and thus has the power of transcendence. Even if it is only a trace of the power of transcendence, it is a world of difference to the Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms. It is a power that is not bound by the existing rules of the Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun asked, "Elder brother, if that's the case, this child already possesses the ability to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao on his own?"

Lao Tzu's expression turned serious: "From this perspective, this power of transcendence has already become a power that is completely different from even the power of a sage. Regardless of the difference in strength, it has already completed the task of not being swayed by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. In the future, it only needs to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao to become a Primordial Chaos."

Lao Tzu's words completely shocked Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "How could this child, who has only been cultivating for a short time, have reached such a level!"

Lao Tzu, with a solemn expression, shook his head slightly and replied, "The path of cultivation is not measured by years. If one goes astray, the further one goes, the more wrong one becomes. If one goes astray, the trials and tribulations of two great kalpas are enough to enable one to reach this realm. It is a pity that we, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, with our innate foundations and the favor of Heaven bestowed upon us the Primordial Purple Qi, ultimately cannot reach this realm. This Ziyu, abandoned by Heaven, achieved this path and proved himself through his own efforts, thus achieving this through the path!"

"Heaven has forsaken him, but he has proven his own path and attained a transcendent heart. We, then, will become the opportunity for this child to attain enlightenment?"

After hearing this, Lao Tzu said, "What my second brother says is absolutely right!"

In short, if Heaven favors us, who would have to walk this arduous path?

At the beginning of the Investiture of the Gods, Yin Ziyu's environment was that of someone abandoned by the Heavenly Dao. Thus, he did not go on to defy the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and prove himself.

After all, since the Investiture of the Gods, the general trend of the Heavenly Dao has always been that the Shang Dynasty should be destroyed and the Jie Sect should be destroyed. Under the rule of the victor and the vanquished, Yin Ziyu has always been carrying original sin and walking the path of self-justification and rebellion against the Heavenly Dao order.

If one enjoys the favor of Heaven and accumulates merits along the way, who can reach this unknown path?

If one had two acres of land in Luoyang, how could one hold the seal of a general from six different kingdoms?

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun also understood that it was their relentless pressure from wind and frost for 360 days a year that forced him to reach this level. At this moment, he was both an enemy and a helper.

Even though he was a sage, Yuanshi Tianzun looked increasingly annoyed and said in a deep voice, "So this is the means by which this person dared to contend with our disciples in the Great Tribulation Battle."

Lao Tzu nodded slowly, his expression solemn: "This new realm is a groundbreaking event for the Three Realms. Judging from its power, it may truly overturn the Quasi-Saint realm."

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and asked anxiously, "Elder brother, how should we deal with this now? We must not let them win this great calamity."

Lao Tzu frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This person's ultimate goal is to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and we sages are those shackles themselves. However, he has not yet reached the time to attain enlightenment, and we sages are restricted by the rules of heaven and earth, so we cannot directly intervene. The only solution now is to have my avatar kill this person with all its might."

"To break free from the shackles of Heaven's Dao, we ourselves are the shackles. Elder brother, you are absolutely right! If attaining the Dao requires denying Heaven's Dao, does that mean Heaven's Dao is wrong?"

Lao Tzu couldn't help but say, "The Way of Heaven governs all living beings. It is not wrong for my second brother to understand the true meaning of the Way of Heaven and to expound it. It is also not wrong for my second brother to pass on the teachings of the people. However, the desire to transcend the Way of Heaven leads all living beings to deny it. If he wants to use this Way to mislead the people, how can the Way of Heaven tolerate it? If all living beings rebel against the Way of Heaven, where is the order of the Way of Heaven?"

"."

Now, Lao Tzu has no other means left. He has already given away the most precious treasures, and he has no more means below the level of a sage. As for breaking through to the level of a sage, Lao Tzu could solve it with a single "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique, but he cannot do it.

Because the Way of Heaven cannot be disordered. Although the Way of Heaven has its own order, it cannot reach the point of acting recklessly.

In other words, under the control of the Heavenly Dao, all beings are allowed to attain enlightenment within the established order. However, if a being tries to attain enlightenment while following the order of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao directly violates the order it has set, then the Heavenly Dao is no longer the Heavenly Dao.

Even so, Hongjun could take his place, because above the Heavenly Dao there are the Great Dao Laws.

Under the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao evolves into the Forty-Nine Heavens. Even in the path of attaining the Dao, there is only a glimmer of hope. If the very first signs of attaining the Dao are swiftly extinguished by the Heavenly Dao, then even that glimmer of hope will cease to exist. Therefore, without violating the rules of the Heavenly Dao, Yin Ziyu, at his current level, cannot lower his combat power to that of a Saint before choosing to attain the Dao.

When Yin Ziyu seeks enlightenment and breaks the shackles of the Heavenly Dao with his own hands, that is when the Sage will intervene. The Sage is the Sage of the Heavenly Dao, which is the shackles themselves.

Therefore, even Laozi could only use his clone to suppress Yin Ziyu's battle for enlightenment. Indeed, this struggle for the Great Tribulation was a step in the process of proving enlightenment.

It can also be said that Yin Ziyu's struggle in the Investiture of the Gods was itself a step in the process of proving the Dao. The essence of the Investiture of the Gods was the will of Heaven to destroy the ancient cultivation systems of the Yin Shang Dynasty and the Jie Sect, and replace them with a faith-based cultivation system.

Yin Ziyu himself did not follow the trend, because following the trend would lead to one's own demise; this was the righteous path of going against the trend.

If one can attain enlightenment against the prevailing trend, then the authority of the Heavenly Dao will be undermined. Therefore, when it comes to the final battle for enlightenment, the Heavenly Dao will want to maintain its correctness and thus become stronger.

Proving the Dao through force is not simply about suddenly gaining magical power and choosing to withstand divine punishment. That's too simplistic and naive. In reality, one's true nature is already shackled and confused at the very beginning of cultivation, so how could one possibly reach the final step of proving the Dao?

Lao Tzu's words pointed out the fundamental truth: How can the Way of Heaven allow all living beings to violate the Way of Heaven?
In other words, there is nothing wrong with the concept of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, nor is there anything wrong with teaching sentient beings to cultivate the Three Corpses. If all sentient beings deny the Heavenly Dao in their hearts and rely on denying the Heavenly Dao to achieve transcendence, how is that possible?
Yin Ziyu was able to reach this point because of the opportunities presented by the current situation in the prehistoric world. Without these opportunities, he would not have been able to reach this point. It can be said that the opportunity to prove one's Dao, the right timing, the right place, and the right people are all irreplaceable.

Jieyin and Zhunti were watching the battle closely when they suddenly saw Yin Ziyu appear, displaying a transcendent state of mind. The two of them immediately changed their expressions.

Jieyin's eyes were filled with astonishment. He hurriedly turned to Zhuoti and said, "Junior brother, look at Ziyu's cultivation! It's so incredible and unfathomable."

Even Jieyin couldn't understand how Yin Ziyu's magical power could withstand the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation and Subhuti.

Zhunti's expression was solemn as iron, and he said in a deep voice, "The Heart of Transcendence, this power is indeed not simple. For a Quasi-Saint, it is simply a world-shaking change!"

Jieyin was filled with doubt and shock, saying, "This is... Could this person have reached the time of attaining enlightenment? How is that possible? From ancient times to the present, who has ever been able to go directly from the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal to the path of enlightenment?"

Zhunti shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "Senior brother, this is not entirely impossible. You must know that becoming a Quasi-Saint is not the only path to enlightenment, and those above the Great Luo Golden Immortal have already entered the realm of enlightenment. Clearly, this person is pursuing the path of enlightenment through force."

Jieyin fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "If one is to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao by proving the Dao through force, then the level of a Quasi-Saint is clearly far from enough. Could it be that he has truly found the real path to proving the Dao?"

After listening, Zhunti slowly said, "Whether he has reached the true path is still hard to say. After all, there are countless paths to enlightenment, and there is no fixed route. But what is certain is that the realm he has shown is completely different from that of a Quasi-Saint. Whether in the use of magical power or in the understanding of the Dao, it is completely different. What a transcendent heart!"

A look of realization flashed in Jieyin's eyes, and he said, "The heart of transcendence, could it be that he has achieved transcendence within his own heart? In other words, his heart has reached the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhunti nodded and said, "What you say is very true, senior brother. Perhaps this is because his heart has already reached the state of primordial chaos, but his cultivation level has not yet fully caught up. In this way, the rules of the Heavenly Dao cannot temporarily restrict his true heart. Given time, he will surely break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and truly step into the state of primordial chaos."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin was greatly shocked and said with a worried expression, "How should we deal with this? If he grows stronger, we are afraid..."

Zhunti's expression was extremely solemn as he said, word by word, "The only way is to use all our strength to drive our clones to kill them! Otherwise, the consequences will be dire."

Jieyin Zhunti now had an accurate assessment of Yin Ziyu's cultivation level.

It was determined that Yin Ziyu's realm had entered the Hunyuan stage in the realm of the virtual, but had not yet reached it in the realm of reality.

Nuwa and Tongtian were naturally shocked to see Yin Ziyu make a move.

Nuwa stared intently at Yin Ziyu, her eyes filled with both amazement and a hint of worry. She said softly, "At the beginning of the war, Ziyu instructed us not to act rashly and to simply keep the two sage avatars in check. But I never expected that Ziyu would display such a formidable level of skill."

Tongtian, his face also filled with shock, said, "Although I knew that Ziyu had completed the cultivation of the Heart of Transcendence, I really did not expect that this realm would be so powerful. It seems that Ziyu has already acquired the foundation to prove the Dao through force."

Nuwa frowned slightly, her face showing worry, and said, "Proving the Dao through force is no easy task; it requires breaking the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. Although Ziyu's transcendent state of mind surpasses that of a Quasi-Saint, it is still worlds apart from that of a Saint. How can he possibly break those indestructible shackles of the Heavenly Dao? Even you and I dare not contend with him!"

Tongtian stared intently at Yin Ziyu, his gaze intense, and slowly said, "This Transcendent Heart realm seems fundamentally different from that of a Quasi-Saint; it represents a completely new period of profound transformation. Consider the Quasi-Saint realm: the mid-stage is three to four times stronger than the early stage, and the late stage is several times stronger than the mid-stage. Yet, even so, before a Saint, they are still like ants, ultimately failing to undergo a qualitative leap. But Ziyu's Transcendent Heart has achieved this earth-shattering growth. Who can predict the future?"

Nuwa remained deeply worried, gently shaking her head as she said, "Now Ziyu has clearly chosen the path of proving the Dao through force, but how could Heaven so easily allow him to prevail?"

Tongtian frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's alright. Ziyu has not violated any of the Heavenly Dao rules along the way. The fact that he was able to walk such a unique path is also because he understood the Sages and even the Dao Ancestors and made his choices."

Nuwa sighed solemnly, "Ziyu's display of such extraordinary skill may overturn the Dao Ancestor's Dao. It is difficult to predict how things will develop in the future, and I fear that all beings in the Three Realms will also be changed as a result."

Yes, if the desire for transcendence becomes so strong, then wouldn't those rogue cultivators seek to cultivate the desire for transcendence and abandon the practice of severing the three corpses?

Could this cause a massive upheaval in the Three Realms?
Tongtian nodded slightly, showing no concern: "The Dao Ancestor once said that of the three thousand Great Daos, every one can lead to the Primordial Chaos Realm; there is more than one path to becoming a Saint by severing one's corpse. It is reasonable that Ziyu can find another path. Let's see how he handles it. Others may not be able to succeed on this path, and they may not even have the opportunity!"

Nuwa pondered for a moment and nodded: "What you say is quite right, fellow Daoist. The Great Luo Golden Immortal is ultimately the pinnacle of cultivation for all living beings, and the heart of transcendence can only be cultivated by great heroes who determine the fate of the Three Realms."

Those who determine the great heroes of the Three Realms are of the level of Rahu Hongjun, Dijun, and Taiyi. Such beings are extremely rare, and those who can truly cultivate a heart of transcendence are naturally very few as well.

Subhuti's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at Yin Ziyu, his words carrying a hint of probing: "Your transcendent heart is indeed extraordinary. However, with the Nine Phoenixes on the verge of defeat, can you still fight against me and this Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation?"

Yin Ziyu remained calm, as if he did not take the current predicament seriously, and said calmly, "Whether Jiufeng can be defeated or not, we shall see. As for whether it can withstand you and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, then we shall have a contest."

At the same time, Laozi also struck Jiufeng with his coiled dragon-shaped flat staff.

The Supreme Lord Laozi's coiled dragon staff, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, crashed down on Jiufeng like a golden divine thunderbolt.

The dragon pattern on the flat, coiled crutch shimmered, seemingly containing boundless majesty since the beginning of time. Wherever it passed, space shattered, revealing dark cracks.

At this moment, Wutian seized the opportunity. The God-Slaying Spear, carrying Wutian's terrifying destructive laws, struck Jiufeng like a bolt of black divine lightning, intending to kill her in one battle.

The Witch Clan is a competitor to the Demon Clan, but a major cause and effect for the Human Sect and the Chan Sect; both want to kill Jiufeng.

The speed was so fast, in a fraction of a second, at the critical moment, an ancient aura suddenly erupted, and a divine temple with supreme power, like the power of the Great Dao, instantly appeared above Jiu Feng's head.

This temple exudes a mysterious and grand aura, as if it carries the memories of the beginning of time, causing powerful figures from all three realms to exclaim in unison: "Pangu Temple!"

Laozi's dragon-shaped cane slammed heavily onto the Pangu Hall, and a loud bang was heard, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

However, to everyone's astonishment, the originally radiant dragon-shaped crutch was sent flying backward by the shock, its light dimming instantly and losing its imposing presence.

At the same time, Wutian arrived wielding the God-Slaying Spear, but the moment the spear tip touched the Pangu Palace, a vast and ancient aura rushed over, like a tremendous force from ancient times striking. The God-Slaying Spear was shaken and dimmed, almost flying out of his hand.

Holding the God-Slaying Spear, Wutian stared at the Pangu Palace, which radiated divine light, with an extremely solemn expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "You actually dare to come to the Pangu Palace!"

Jiufeng snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain: "I didn't expect that even a saint's avatar would use Pangu's flat staff to launch a sneak attack. Since that's the case, then let's fight."

With the protection of the Pangu Palace, Jiufeng's aura surged, and with a thunderous punch, carrying the boundless power of the Great Dao of Strength, she blasted towards Taishang Laojun.

This punch seemed to break the shackles of heaven and earth; wherever the wind of the punch passed, space rippled like paper.

Laozi was greatly surprised, never expecting that Jiufeng, under the protection of Pangu Palace, could still be so brave.

Laozi dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately circulated his magical power to engage in a life-or-death struggle with Jiufeng.

In an instant, light flashed between heaven and earth, and powerful magical energy surged like a surging tide, wave after wave.

Seeing this, Wutian roared and rejoined the battle, wielding the God-Slaying Spear. The three of them instantly clashed.

The Pangu Palace hovered silently above Jiufeng's head, invincible from the start, completely unconcerned about the attacks from the two surrounding her. Protected by the Pangu Palace, she swung her fists with abandon, the radiance of the Great Dao of Power shining on them, raining down attacks on Taishang Laojun and Wutian.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was completely shocked and dumbfounded. He stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief, muttering to himself, "This, this is the power of Laozi! It's so terrifying. Why would he help this demon?"

This sudden turn of events left Sun Wukong deeply perplexed, as if the world before him had suddenly become unfamiliar.

Even with Sun Wukong's broadened perspective, the difference between the Supreme Lord Laozi he faced during his rampage in Heaven and the Supreme Lord Laozi he faced now was utterly unbelievable.

Yin Ziyu looked directly at Subhuti, a confident smile on his lips, and said, "How about it? Can Jiufeng still be defeated?"

Subhuti's face was ashen, his expression more solemn than ever before. He said in a deep voice, "What a plan. You even brought the Pangu Palace with you."

Yin Ziyu said calmly, "A sage's clone launched a sneak attack. Since the Wu Clan has the Pangu Palace, why didn't they bring it here!"

Subhuti stared intently at Yin Ziyu, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and sighed again, "What a brilliant plan! It has swept up almost everyone who could be relied upon into this great calamity."

Yin Ziyu said, "You flatter me. Since that's the case, the success or failure of the Great Tribulation depends on this battle. Let's have a good fight!"

At this point, both sides had revealed almost all their trump cards, and the decisive battle had begun.

At this moment, all the great gods from the Three Realms witnessed this scene and were all deeply shocked, and immediately began to discuss it.

Zhenyuan Daxian stroked his long beard and exclaimed, "The Nine Phoenixes have the Pangu Palace, which puts them in an invincible position. The outcome of this great calamity is truly unpredictable."

The Styx Ancestor let out a sinister laugh amidst the sea of ​​blood: "This Pangu Palace is the most incredible place in the Three Realms. If one protects oneself with the Pangu Palace, the Nine Phoenixes will be invincible. Even saints have never entered the Pangu Palace. The strength of this Pangu Palace is such that even the most precious treasures are no more powerful. Now, the decisive battle is at this moment, and we quasi-saints hold the key to the success or failure of this great calamity!"

Kunpeng whispered, "We have indeed overlooked the Pangu Palace. If so, the success or failure of this great calamity is hard to predict. Could it be that after this great calamity, the order of the sages will truly come to an end?"

The Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly: "If the order of the sages is to end, then the primordial world will enter a new order. What this new order will be like is truly unimaginable."

The Great God Lei Ze also said, "In any case, the situation has completely changed. Now we, the rogue cultivators, should discuss how to make our choices."

Zhen Yuanzi said, "We must proceed with extreme caution and observe the success or failure of the operation first."

The decisive battle of the Great Tribulation had entered an unpredictable equilibrium, and these few rogue cultivators had become a major variable in the outcome of both sides' battles. For a time, many powerful figures discussed whether or not to participate—a very difficult decision. (End of Chapter)
