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

At this moment, the world changed color, and Yin Ziyu stood alone, facing Subhuti and the terrifying Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation.

The golden swastika formed by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation resembled a majestic mountain, pressing down on Yin Ziyu with earth-shattering power.

The golden light was intense and dazzling. Wherever it passed, space shattered like broken glass, and the entire world was thrown into turmoil by this terrifying power.

Although the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation has not broken through the Hunyuan boundary, its power is still the greatest formation below the Hunyuan Formation.

Meanwhile, Luo Shen, who was in charge of the origin of the Mind Realm and supporting various places, also looked solemn as she faced the decisive battle with Yin Ziyu. After all, Yin Ziyu was facing a saint's avatar and this top-level formation.

At this critical moment of the decisive battle, Luo Shen's mind stirred, and her inner world was instantly flooded like a river overflowing its banks. All her inner source power gathered wildly, like a vast torrent, and surged towards Yin Ziyu in an instant.

The decisive battle now hinges on Yin Ziyu; if Yin Ziyu wins, the outcome will be decided.

At this time, with the protection of the Pangu Palace, Jiufeng was invincible. If the Four Saints had not broken the formation, it would not have been so easy to break the formation diagram, and it might have even taken tens of thousands of years.

The essence of the mind realm was fully absorbed by Yin Ziyu, and in an instant, his body shone brightly. His transcendent power surged like a raging wave. With a thought, Yin Ziyu rapidly condensed a white divine sword in his hand, radiating holy divine light.

As soon as the sword was drawn, a transcendent will instantly condensed in the world, as if this sword could sever the shackles of the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms.

Yin Ziyu looked at the golden swastika that was pressing down on him, and holding the Transcendent Divine Sword, he slashed down fiercely at the huge golden swastika that was pressing down on him.

In an instant, a dazzling white streak tore through the sky and collided violently with the golden swastika.

The greatest sound is silent, but a shocking scene unfolded: the golden swastika formed by the power of ten thousand Buddhas was actually cut open by Yin Ziyu.

Golden light and white radiance intertwined, like two raging dragons rampaging across the heavens and earth. Then, golden Buddhist light poured down from the sky, while the white divine sword remained dazzling.

Upon seeing this, Yunxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of determination and surprise, and he immediately activated the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation with all his might.

Within the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, the entire spiritual treasure's origin, all the innate evil energy, surged forth like a volcanic eruption. This terrifying innate evil energy from the primordial chaos instantly spread, causing the damaged Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to instantly recover to its original state.

Then, this force, like a surging tsunami, swept towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation.

Upon seeing this, Subhuti exclaimed in surprise, "Impossible! You have only just broken through to the next level, how could you have done this!"

Faced with this sudden sword strike and the abrupt change, Subhuti was instantly shocked. Of course, Yin Ziyu did not truly overwhelm the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation and Subhuti. Although he possessed extraordinary power, he did not have the ability to crush them.

These are two different kinds of power. The power of ten thousand Buddhas is equivalent to the manifestation of tangible power, while the power of transcendence has tremendous penetrating power. The power cannot crush, but the quality is completely different.

Yin Ziyu said calmly, "Nothing is impossible."

Subhuti's eyes were filled with great solemnity. In an instant, the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand shone brightly, carrying a seven-colored divine light, and swept towards Yin Ziyu like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Yin Ziyu was not afraid at all. He wielded the Transcendent Divine Sword in his hand rapidly, creating a series of sword shadows. The seemingly indestructible seven-colored divine light was actually shattered by Yin Ziyu, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the world.

Yin Ziyu tilted his head slightly, looked at Subhuti, and said calmly, "The Seven Treasures Tree is indeed remarkable, but my Sword of Transcendence transcends all rules under the Heavenly Dao, yet the Seven Treasures Tree cannot be touched."

This battle immediately caused an uproar among all the rogue cultivators watching. They never expected that Yin Ziyu would suddenly become so powerful, while Subhuti looked at Taishang.

"Fellow Daoist, this Nine Phoenix has a Pangu Palace, let's leave that aside for now and eliminate this person first!"

Seeing this, Laozi knew that he could not defeat Jiufeng in a short time, but Yin Ziyu was the most important person in this great calamity. As long as he was defeated, the final battle of the great calamity would be won.

Because Yin Ziyu represents the source of this great calamity's order change, meaning Yin Ziyu has a complete system to replace the current order of the Three Realms. Killing Yin Ziyu will render the remaining people useless.

At that moment, Laozi abandoned the idea of ​​defeating Jiufeng and instead went to assist Subhuti in defeating Yin Ziyu.

The decisive battle of the Great Tribulation is approaching, but the scattered cultivator forces are now very hesitant. These few individuals are a decisive force in the current situation.

Now, Yin Ziyu's transcendent mind and Jiu Feng's Pangu Palace's innate invincibility have gradually turned the disadvantaged side back to the forefront.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu proved to be so powerful that even the powerful rogue cultivators who dared not entertain any thoughts were forced to make an important decision.

Many powerful beings communicated in the void. Zhen Yuanzi said with a solemn expression, "Fellow Daoists, no matter what, we must make a choice. Now that the great calamity is imminent, if we participate, which side should we help? If we stay out of it, what will happen?"

After all, it is an alliance of independent cultivators, and there are even major disagreements and karmic entanglements among them. Moreover, no one is willing to submit to the other. Therefore, they must reach a proper agreement and bridge the contradictions before taking action.

This is the weakness of this alliance: it cannot act in unison, just like the six states attacking Qin. It requires crucial timing and communication to make decisions.

For example, Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng have a karmic connection with Hongyun, but when faced with their own future survival, they can only put aside their past grievances.

Having survived until now, and suppressed by the order of the sages, he had long lost his will to live. Now that the opportunity had come, Zhen Yuanzi first asked the crowd.

Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor immediately snorted coldly and said, "Before the Dao Ancestor attained enlightenment, we were renowned deities in the Three Realms, but now we have been dormant for countless eons. If we do not participate in this great calamity, the success or failure of the Three Realms will have nothing to do with us, and the fortune of the Three Realms will abandon us like worn-out shoes. We will be like withered bones in a tomb, without any hope of life. Of the three thousand Purple Cloud Guests of the past, apart from a few of us who still have the protection of our own ley lines, the rest have all perished. If we do not make a choice now, the future will be the same!"

Styx pointed out a crucial point about survival: even these great gods face great difficulties, and their fortunes are finite. These individuals all have their own base of support, which is why they can survive, while those without such support have long since perished.

They vanished without a trace, vanished as lightly as a feather.

The Styx River's base is the Asura Realm, one of the Six Paths, which determines that the Styx River's base is very stable, but in terms of the Three Realms, it is also a vassal state of a region.

Zhen Yuanzi's core strength lies in the Wanshou Mountain Wonderland and the merit of being a ruler of the world. He controls the earth's membrane and is the most stable one. However, this does not mean that he has no attachment to Hunyuan or the future.

The Queen Mother of the West's foundation lies in the West Kunlun Wonderland, a top-tier ancestral land. The inexhaustible source of innate spiritual energy nourishes the existence of the West Kunlun Wonderland. She shares Kunlun Mountain with the Chan Sect, and her title as the head of the female immortals, along with her control over the Yellow Plum, are also fundamental to her existence.

Lei Ze, on the other hand, is located in the southeastern innate divine thunder marshland, which is its basic foundation, but its foundation is not as deep as the three mentioned above.

Kunpeng, on the other hand, has the Northern Sea Land and the demon army, and the River Chart and Luo Book suppress its fortune, which allows it to exist, but it is still not as good as the three mentioned above.

The other Zixiao guests were far inferior, as they lacked such a strong foundation, and those who survived were barely able to exist.

Kunpeng's eyes flickered as he slowly spoke: "If we participate in the Great Tribulation and help the Three Teachings win, it will only be to continue the era of the Sages' Order, which is no different from the time after the Investiture of the Gods. But if we help the Jie Sect, and the Jie Sect rules the world in the future, it will inevitably bring the prehistoric world back to its ancient appearance. Moreover, Ziyu has a new cultivation method, which may well become an opportunity."

The Queen Mother of the West frowned slightly, her face showing worry, and said, "As for the risks, once the sages descend upon the Three Realms again, there will be four sages against two sages, and we will surely perish. If we take action during this great calamity, we must help Ziyu attain enlightenment in order to protect ourselves."

Zhen Yuanzi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "This is a matter of life and death. Fellow Daoists, you must make a decision as soon as possible."

A hint of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the Styx Ancestor, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Buddhist sect has always tried to seize my Asura clan in order to perfect its Buddhist Six Paths of Samsara. I have reached my limit of tolerance. If the Buddhist sect wins, it will surely seize my Asura realm. I have decided to take action and help the Jie Sect win."

Kunpeng's expression hardened, and he said, "The path to sainthood is entangled with karma. If it weren't for the protection of Goddess Nuwa during the great calamity, I would have already perished. Therefore, I also intend to lend a helping hand to the Jie Sect."

Kunpeng also has a great karmic connection here. It is because Hongyun gave up his holy position to Jieyin, which caused Kunpeng to lose the karmic connection of the holy position. The West can never repay the karmic debt of Hongyun giving up his holy position. A great favor is like a great enmity. So even if Hongyun is not killed by Kunpeng, he will inevitably be killed by the West. No matter how he dies, it is destined.

Similarly, the West seized Kunpeng's holy position, which is also a great cause and effect. The cause and effect of the holy position is that because the West became a saint, Kunpeng could not ask for it back and could only endure it. However, the West may not be able to completely resolve this cause and effect in the future!
The Great God Lei Ze, with a thunderous nature—direct, upright, and bold—immediately declared, "Rather than let the order of the Investiture of the Gods plunge the primordial world into darkness, let's fight for a bright future. Since the beginning of time, has this primordial world still had any hope of survival?"

The Queen Mother of the West sighed softly and said, "The path of faith is truly unsustainable these days. Buddha and demon are like yin and yang, exploiting all living beings. Compared to the ancient times, such a method of cultivation is utterly laughable. What Ziyu said is quite right; it is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. I am unwilling to endure it any longer."

Styx continued, "With the Way of Faith already established, the Heavenly Dao has clearly reached a dead end. However, Ziyu's Way of the Heart conflicts with the Heavenly Dao, yet it can resolve the future of the Primordial World. This is our choice. Do you believe this trend has a future? I do not agree!"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh.

In short, the Heavenly Way, acting as the emperor, has exhausted all options in making decisions for this country. Having run out of tricks, it has resorted to the desperate measure of introducing the faith-based economic model.

It's somewhat similar to how, after Mount Buzhou collapsed, the external circulation could no longer continue, so an internal circulation began, and all living beings became the fuel for this internal circulation.

Since all living beings are the fuel for the internal cycle, it is necessary for all living beings to be foolish. Whether it is Chan Buddhism, Buddhism, or Confucianism, they are all carrying out this decision of the Way of Heaven.

To carry out the decision of Heaven, it is necessary to destroy forces such as the Jie Sect and the Yin Shang Dynasty.

This is the time of the Investiture of the Gods. Lao Tzu once said that even though the Yin Shang and Jie Sect were innocent, their essence did not lie in their innocence, but in the general trend. So what if you are right? So what if you occupy the position of justice?
From the perspective of a sage, the sage is not wrong; a sage is a sage of the Heavenly Way, who executes the will of the Heavenly Way.

The root cause was the collapse of Mount Buzhou, which destroyed the innate spiritual energy. If there was no way to remedy the situation, the immortals and gods of the primordial world would also decay due to the loss of the innate spiritual energy. This is how the path of faith came to be, and the sages were the implementers.

The reason why the Investiture of the Gods was destined to fail was that Tongtian had no fundamental solution.

Now, Yin Ziyu has a method for cultivating the mind, but it conflicts with the path of faith. The path of the mind strengthens one's own inner power and represents the understanding of the heavenly way by all beings, but this is something that the heavenly way does not allow.

This would undermine the Heavenly Dao's control over all living beings in the primordial world. At the same time, the Way of the Heart would continue to sprout. When all living beings cultivate the Way of the Heart, the will of all living beings would be formed, and the will of all living beings would give birth to the Way of Humanity. This is the division of the Heavenly Dao's authority, and it is the root of this decisive battle.

In other words, the path of faith is to suppress all living beings and perpetuate the role of spiritual energy after the collapse of Mount Buzhou, while the path of the heart is to release all living beings, and if this continues, the will of all living beings will inevitably give birth to the human way.

Yin Ziyu achieved transcendence by being born with the flame of humanity, and he broke the shackles of his heart by using the flame of the nascent human world.

Currently, all the great gods no longer believe that the Path of Faith can bring a future to the prehistoric world, but they do believe that the Path of Yin Ziyu can bring a future to the prehistoric world.

These people are no longer merely making superficial weighing of pros and cons; they believe, at a deeper level, that the path of faith has no future.

Seeing that everyone had made their choices, Zhen Yuanzi slowly nodded: "So be it. Since ancient times, we have all been wise to protect ourselves, but we never wanted the primordial world to fall into such a state. Since that's the case, let's start an uprising. Each of us should use our own immortal realm as our base, gather our subordinate rogue immortals, and prepare for the uprising. In this way, the situation can be settled."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned extremely solemn, knowing that this matter concerned their life and death and could not be taken lightly.

Then, everyone immediately gave orders, understanding that once the outcome of the great calamity was decided, it would be meaningless to start anything else; the only option was to make a decision at the crucial moment.

After these powerful rogue cultivators made their decisions, the entire prehistoric land was instantly thrown into turmoil. Each of these powerful cultivators controlled a celestial realm and served as a weathervane for rogue cultivators across the Three Realms, fundamentally representing all living beings outside of the great sage sects of the Three Realms.

Just as the great battle was at a stalemate, suddenly, from the Northern Underworld Demon Master's Mansion, the Kunpeng roared to the sky, its sound shaking the heavens and instantly attracting attention from all sides of the Three Realms.

This immediately took these capable people by surprise, and they all became serious, never expecting that these cowards would actually make a move now.

This humble Taoist, Kunpeng, now faces a great calamity and proclaims to all beings of the Three Realms:

Now, the great calamity of the primordial era has arrived once again, with the world in turmoil and the heavens and earth shaking. I observe that the current order is truly a shackle, so I raise my arms and call out to the world.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, although the three religions have been revered, their rules and regulations have restricted people, preventing them from being free and far removed from the carefree life of the ancient times. If this order continues, it will only be a continuation of these outdated rules, and the primordial world will remain mired in the mire of the past, with no chance for innovation.

In contrast, the Jie Sect embraces all kinds of beings, teaching without discrimination. Its aim is to restore the primordial world to its ancient glory, allowing all spiritual beings to cultivate freely without restraint.

Moreover, Ziyu's path transcends the mundane and holds the promise of proving the Dao and opening up a new world. If we assist him, we may usher in a brand new era.

The path of faith, which treats all living beings as straw dogs, is utterly ridiculous. Such a method of cultivation deviates from the right path, plunging the primordial world into darkness. If this continues, it will surely lead to eternal damnation.

We, the great cultivators, have always been wise and discerning since ancient times, yet the primordial world has fallen to this state because of us. Today, we are no longer willing to endure this, and we must rise up and fight for a better future for the primordial world. I now raise the entire army of the Northern Darkness Demon Clan, and I am willing to join hands with all those of ambition in the world to break the old order and reshape a new world.

May all spirits and beings respond, join in this righteous cause, and together face this calamity to seek a bright and smooth path for all living beings in the Three Realms!
Since we are going to start a rebellion, we must do it in a grand and spectacular way. Since we have decided to do it, we should not have any fear. Let's do something big. Although the manifesto did not mention the sage, it was clearly against the sage's order.

To announce this directly to all beings in the Three Realms is also to prove that once victorious, we will have the right to distribute the spoils. What benefit would there be if we fought small-scale and secretly?

The Kunpeng's proclamation was like a shooting star that pierced the sky, spreading out instantly with a resolute momentum that shocked all living beings in the Three Realms. At the same time, it transformed into countless streams of light, rushing towards the various demon forces in the Northern Underworld.

In the Northern Sea, ten thousand demons roared in unison, their cries echoing and soaring into the sky. Thunderclaps resounded across every inch of the Northern Sea, and instantly the Northern Sea Demon Master's Mansion launched an uprising.

In an instant, the entire Northern Underworld Demon Clan emerged.

In the sky, countless demonic birds spread their wings and soared high, blotting out the sun. The Northern Underworld Demon Master's Mansion was similar to the bird race of the ancient times, mainly composed of bird demons, some red like raging fire, some blue like dark ice, and some gold like the blazing sun. Each demonic bird exuded a powerful aura and attacked from north to south.

Of course, there were also many beasts and demons. On the ground, the beasts of the demon race surged and roared like a raging torrent. They were huge, some as majestic as unicorns, and some as fierce as tigers. Their four hooves pounded the ground, dust flew up, and the mountains and rivers trembled wherever they went.

The northern demons who once conquered Xiqi and were even once attacked by Wen Zhong all belonged to the Northern Underworld Demon Master's Mansion.

At this moment, the Northern Darkness demon army surged southward like a turbulent black tide.

The demon soldiers were a diverse and terrifying force. In the sky, demonic birds covered the sky, their wings like clouds hanging from the heavens, some displaying colorful plumage, others spewing flames and cold winds. On the ground, beasts howled like a tidal wave, their sharp claws digging at the earth, raising clouds of dust.

At this time, the demon army split into two groups, one attacking Chang'an, which was suppressed by the immortals of the Chan Sect and the Buddha.

At this time, Zhang Jiao and Yang Chan were leading their troops to attack Chang'an, using the Lotus Lantern for protection. However, there were many immortals and Buddhas from the Chan Sect, and the great battle was at a stalemate.

The arrival of the Northern Darkness demon soldiers was like a whirlwind, instantly giving the weaker Yellow Turbans the upper hand.

Meanwhile, another group of demon soldiers charged toward Zhennan Pass. As the defensive line of Zhennan Pass, which had been in operation for a Yuanhui, Wen Zhong's army was trapped there and could not break through after a long siege.

When the army of the Northern Underworld Demon Master's Mansion attacked from the north, the garrison at Zhennan Pass was thrown into chaos.

When Wen Zhong saw this, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to break through Zhennan Pass and reclaim our land!"

Holding the double whips of the dragon, Wen Zhong rode on the black unicorn and led his troops to charge towards Zhennan Pass like tigers descending a mountain.

Yang Jian, Nezha, and the others were thrown into chaos, unable to defend both sides simultaneously.

Although Kunpeng should have had grudges against the demon race and the human race, and should also have had grudges against Wen Zhong, after all, during the Yin Shang period, the demon race in the northern border was Wen Zhong's experience pack.

But the war we are fighting now is no longer just about races, but about the survival of all living beings. It is the cohesion of humanity. Humanity is not just about the human race, but about all living beings.

Under this concept, the conflict between ethnic groups instantly comes to an end. Perhaps after this great calamity, the conflict between ethnic groups will resurface, but at least victory must be achieved in this great calamity first.

Above the sea of ​​blood, the Styx Ancestor gave an order, and instantly a proclamation resounded throughout the Three Realms, directly declaring war on Buddhism. The Asura army surged up like a raging crimson tide.

The massive army surged toward the sacred Buddhist mountain, and wherever it passed, the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky was dyed a strange blood red.

The influence of Buddhism is not limited to Mount Ling alone, but rather extends to the endless Buddhist kingdoms surrounding Mount Ling in the West; this is its fundamental base.

The Asura army approached the foot of Mount Ling, and the battle cries shook the heavens. The Buddhist disciples on the mountain stood ready, their faces radiant with Buddhist light and chanting.

Above the nine heavens, countless female immortals of the Western Kunlun Wonderland, led by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, were surrounded by celestial light and held various celestial artifacts. The female immortals transformed into streams of light and flew towards the location of the four great emperors of the celestial realm.

Upon arriving in the celestial realm, the female immortals swiftly launched their attack. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, wielding her whisk, gently waved it, and the attack on the celestial realm began.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi, stationed in the Wanshou Mountain Wonderland, gave an order, and all the immortals and gods in the wonderland responded and attacked the Netherworld.

Now that they've started, even benevolent figures like the Queen Mother of the West and Zhen Yuanzi have begun to besiege the various places of order in the Three Realms. This is both to assist Yin Ziyu and to seize their own territory and expand their influence.

After all, during the period of the Saintly Order, all the rogue cultivators were in a state of hiding, and the benefits of the Three Realms had nothing to do with them. It was only after the Battle of the East Sea that these people were able to obtain a continental spiritual vein.

Now that the order of the three realms has been overthrown since the Lich Wars, it is natural for each power to mobilize and attack various parts of the three realms.

At this point, their respective factions had already made their moves, and the five of them were about to participate in a battle to determine who would win.

Zhen Yuanzi, Styx, Queen Mother of the West, Kunpeng, and Lei Ze gathered together, their expressions solemn, to discuss strategies for the upcoming decisive battle.

Styx spoke first, his voice low and tinged with worry: "Now that the decisive battle is imminent, how should we divide our forces? Do we really have to face the avatar of a saint and fight him to the death?"

Upon hearing Styx's words, everyone immediately became solemn. Even if it involved conquering cities and occupying territory, that was fine, as it was a normal struggle within the Three Realms. However, fighting against a Saint's avatar would directly create karma with the Saint, and everyone was still afraid.

The Queen Mother of the West's eyes were full of worry: "If we do not fight the avatars of the saints, then Ziyu will face two avatars of the saints alone, and his chances of winning are slim. In any case, we must lend a helping hand."

Styx said, "Even with our help, we may not be able to defeat the sage's avatar. The great Dao that the sage has comprehended is beyond our reach!"

For a moment, all five fell silent. The power of the sage's avatar was feared by all, and none of them were willing to take risks and form a karmic bond with the sage. Besides, even if they participated, there was no guarantee of a result.

Even a great god is still far inferior to a saint's avatar.

Even if their levels of understanding are not that different, if we compare them in terms of mathematics, the Dao they comprehend is equivalent to junior high or high school math, while the sage's avatar is at the professor level. That is the difference.

A sage's clones are merely limited by magical power, but they share the sage's understanding of the Great Dao.

Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “We don’t need to fight to the death with him; we can just restrain him. We will go and defeat Wutian. This way, we won’t directly form a karmic bond with the Sage, and Jiufeng will inevitably have to fight the Sage’s avatar. Now, Jiufeng has already perfected her own path and is not afraid of the Sage. Ziyu has also stepped out of his own path and is capable of fighting the Sage’s avatar. We will take on Wutian!”

Kunpeng nodded and agreed, "Good, that's excellent. However, the Buddhist monks Kong Xuan and Randeng have not yet joined the battle, and we will need to deal with them as well."

Styx sneered and said, "Kong Xuan is guarding Mount Ling. Since that's the case, I'll hand Kong Xuan over to this humble Daoist."

Kunpeng then said, "I have heard that not only has Randeng made great progress in his cultivation and killed the evil corpse, but he has also comprehended the Twenty-Four Heavens Grand Formation. I am itching to fight, so I will take on the challenge for Randeng."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly and said, "I can use the Earth Book to resist the God-Slaying Spear. Fellow Daoist Xi Wangmu and Fellow Daoist Lei Ze, come with me to fight Wutian. With this arrangement, we will surely win this battle."

After the five had made their decision, they immediately took action. The first to arrive was Styx, who carried Avici Yuantu straight to Mount Ling.

The one guarding Mount Ling was none other than Kong Xuan. This was the time of the Great Tribulation and the decisive battle, and the main camp had to be guarded. Seeing the Styx River coming with great force, Kong Xuan instantly appeared, his expression arrogant, and said proudly, "Do you want to fight me?"

Styx looked at Kong Xuan and chuckled, "Junior, you have quite a reputation. This time, I will have a good chance to learn from you."

Seeing the Styx River approaching with overwhelming force, Kong Xuan immediately said, "In that case, I will fight you, fellow Daoist!"

In an instant, the light on Mount Ling shone brightly. Kong Xuan unleashed his five-colored divine light, which resembled five pillars of light reaching the heavens, illuminating the three realms. Wherever it went, space distorted, and all things were drawn by its powerful force.

Styx was not to be outdone. Holding the Abyssal Slaughtering Sword, the power of the sea of ​​blood surged around him. Using the red lotus as defense, the blood lotus bloomed, revealing a violent killing intent. The will to kill heaven, earth, and all living beings erupted instantly.

The great battle between the two began, and the weather on Mount Ling changed color. The collision of their powers produced a series of booming sounds, as if they were going to shatter Mount Ling. Fortunately, Mount Ling had a great formation, so it was unharmed.

At the same time, Kunpeng transformed into a streak of light and charged toward Randeng, who was in charge of the overall situation, at the fastest speed imaginable.

Seeing the fierce approach of the Kunpeng, Ran Deng immediately shouted, "The Twenty-Four Heavenly Formations, activate!"

In an instant, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl shone brightly, transforming into the Twenty-Four Heavens, which surrounded Randeng, protecting him from both sides. Each Heaven radiated immense power, echoing each other to form an indestructible defensive system.

Kunpeng snorted coldly: "You have the Twenty-Four Heavens Grand Array, but I have the Primordial Chaos Array."

After Kunpeng finished speaking, he instantly set up the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array using the Hetu Luoshu.

The Hunyuan Heluo was originally a Hunyuan-level grand formation, but the origin of the Three Realms at this time does not allow it, and Kunpeng is also unable to master the true Hunyuan Heluo, so this grand formation is now an incomplete version.

Even so, it is still the most powerful formation below the Hunyuan level.

In an instant, the array space took shape, and a new primordial world was formed. The array space instantly took shape, and Randeng felt the scene before him change instantly, and he found himself in a primordial land formed by an array.

Above the primordial land of this array space, twenty-four worlds hang in the sky like brilliant stars, radiating vast world power. Randeng sits cross-legged in the center, his expression solemn. The twenty-four worlds around him slowly rotate, as if containing endless world Dao.

Kunpeng stood in the formation, wielding the power of the Hunyuan River, like an ancient demon god, his aura surging.

With a wave of his hands, Kunpeng unleashed terrifying power like a surging torrent, bombarding the Twenty-Four Heavens. Each strike caused violent tremors, as if to utterly destroy the Twenty-Four Heavens.

Meanwhile, Burning Lamp sat cross-legged within the great formation, his hands forming hand seals, using the power of the twenty-four worlds to bombard the Hunyuan River and Luo River in turn, attempting to break the great formation.

Meanwhile, on the other side, not long after Laozi left, Zhen Yuanzi, Xi Wangmu, and Lei Ze appeared before Wutian in an instant.

Seeing the three men approaching menacingly, Wutian was instantly enraged. His demonic energy surged, burning like black flames: "Despicable and shameless! You also want to besiege me? In ancient times, you juniors failed to enter the formation. Zhen Yuanzi, your master died in the great formation. This time, I will also send you to the list!"

Zhen Yuanzi coldly shouted, "You demonic sects have once again stirred up the order of the primordial world. Today, we will surely annihilate you!"

After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, he looked at Jiu Feng and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiu Feng, go and assist Zi Yu. Wu Tian is entrusted to the three of us."

Jiufeng nodded slightly and said loudly, "Good!"

At this moment, Yin Ziyu was still able to gain the upper hand in his battle with Subhuti, but with the arrival of Taishang Laojun, he was immediately at a disadvantage. After all, Yin Ziyu had just condensed his Heart of Transcendence and was far from achieving the Great Perfection of the Heart of Transcendence. The addition of Taishang Laojun immediately increased the pressure on Yin Ziyu. However, in an instant, the Nine Phoenixes shone brightly, and the Great Dao of Power, like a stream of light, directly caught up with him and directly fought Taishang Laojun!

Lao Tzu is the foremost of the Six Sages, and his avatar, Taishang Laojun, also surpasses the avatars of other sages. After all, the Dao that Lao Tzu comprehended is shared through his avatar, so he is still the strongest.

However, Jiufeng ignored all of this and relied solely on her fists, disregarding her own defense, to directly bombard Taishang Laojun.

The involvement of Jiufeng caused Laozi to frown deeply. This Pangu Palace was causing Laozi a lot of trouble, and he simply couldn't get rid of Jiufeng. It would be difficult to completely subdue Yin Ziyu.

At this moment, auspicious clouds surged across the sky, and Haotian and Yaochi arrived together.

The two were surrounded by celestial light, protected by plain-colored cloud banners, and their gazes locked directly on Laozi. They then launched their attack without hesitation.

Laozi noticed their movements and frowned, saying in a deep voice, "Do you two also intend to attack me?"

Haotian's expression was resolute, showing no fear. He looked directly at Taishang Laojun and said, "Please forgive me, Taishang. My junior sister and I were bestowed the positions of Great Heavenly Venerable by the Lord himself, but for a long time we have been trapped by this inexplicable constraint. In this great calamity, we will definitely break free from this bondage!"

At this point, the standard for victory is clear: defeating Yin Ziyu would guarantee a great victory in the Great Tribulation, and similarly, defeating Taishang would essentially secure the win. After all, Taishang is an avatar of the First Sage, and who knows how many tricks he might have up his sleeve? Extreme caution is necessary. At this moment, almost all the major battlefields of the Three Realms have been activated. (End of Chapter)
