Revelation of the Way of Heaven

"The heavens form images, and the earth forms patterns." Zhao Changyu stroked his beard and said slowly, "Perhaps this is a sign of the Jianmu tree's revival. I think not only have strange phenomena appeared here, but there will be corresponding strange phenomena all over the world. This is a revelation from heaven, and everyone will sense the arrival of a new era."

Guo Tianming agreed with Zhao Changyu's words. The thought that the revival of Jianmu was due to his daughter filled him with a special sense of pride. However, this pride was quickly replaced by a sense of crisis.

Suddenly, many birds flew over from the sky, circling in mid-air and chirping incessantly at Guo Tianming, whose expression gradually became serious.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhao Changyu asked from the side.

"Someone's coming," Guo Tianming said in a deep voice. "No, it's demonic beasts, and there are many of them."

When Samael led the demon race to slowly emerge from the snow-capped mountains, Zhao Changyu finally understood what Guo Tianming meant by "many." As the dark figures slowly pressed in, muffled sounds echoed through the snow. He estimated that the enemy numbered at least a thousand, while they only had about thirty people. This was only after he had Wei Feng bring in reinforcements from the Wudang Sect; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Senior brother, what should we do?" Seeing this situation, Yin Changlin subconsciously moved closer to Zhao Changyu and asked.

A chilling aura emanated from the demonic beasts. Even Zhao Changyu, the leader of the Wudang Sect, had never seen such a large-scale event. Moreover, the younger generation was almost instinctively moving towards the temple. At this moment, Zhao Changyu was their pillar of support.

"What else can we do but fight to the death?" Zhao Changyu said coldly. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Samael and the others standing among the monsters without changing his expression, and said loudly, "I have already promised Xiaochuan that these monsters must not be allowed to set foot in the temple until their business is completed."

The monsters halted their advance, but continued to frantically dig at the snow. Samael stood amidst the monsters, gazing at the crowd before the temple, a cold smile on his face. He slowly said, "Not bad at all. I didn't expect to find so much prey so early on. It seems we can enjoy the hunt to our heart's content today."

"How about we have a competition to see who can hunt the most prey in the end? The winner will get one-thousandth of the shares in the Ebi Foundation. What do you say?" Mammon licked his lips, revealing a greedy look in his eyes.

"Mammon, you're always so greedy. Do you know how much money one-thousandth of the Ebi Foundation's shares are? It could buy a country in Africa. The money in the foundation isn't something you can just touch whenever you want. Besides, I'm not interested in this kind of match. I just want to finish this battle as soon as possible and go back to the hot springs. This godforsaken place is too cold," Belfinger said lazily.

"Belfinger, don't be too lazy. This is our first battle in conquering the world. We must perform well to prove our strength to Lord Gonggong." Samael was clearly dissatisfied with Belfinger's attitude. "I think Mammon's suggestion is very good, but using the Hell Foundation's money as a reward is definitely out of the question. Whoever hunts the most prey will be the hero of this operation. I don't think the Lord will be stingy with the reward."

"Anyway, I don't care. The flesh and blood of these cultivators are also good ingredients." The obese Beelzebub was already eager to try.

"Very good, let's wipe them out in one fell swoop. Those monsters are already impatient." Samael said, letting out a sharp shriek. The raging monsters immediately charged towards the crowd in front of the temple like wild horses.

"Form the formation!" Zhao Changyu shouted. Wei Feng and the other seven immediately rushed to the center of the formation, forming hand seals and chanting simultaneously: "The stars of the heavens, all things return to their source, the North Star shines, all evil is destroyed, the Great Dipper Formation, activate!"

As their voices faded, a bright spot appeared above their heads. These spots gradually brightened and were then connected by a beam of white light, forming the shape of the Big Dipper. A pale purple light curtain descended from the Big Dipper, forming a protective shield that enveloped the temple and the group. When the demonic beasts charged, beams of light shot out from the light curtain, causing countless bloodstains to splatter and quickly staining the snow in front of the shield. However, these demonic beasts were all fearless and had vigorous vitality. Even though they were injured, they still roared and charged at the shield.

The others inside the protective shield were not idle either. Standing inside, they continuously unleashed skills at the monster horde to block their attacks. Fireballs, wind blades, and lightning bolts rained down on the monsters, and the explosions echoed continuously across the snow-capped mountain peak.

The north wind howled, and the clouds changed color. Samael watched as the demonic beast could not break through the protective circle of the Big Dipper Formation for a long time. He was furious. Suddenly, he ran quickly and leaped into the air as he approached the protective shield. He transformed into the shape of an ancient giant ape with bulging muscles all over his body. He took out a huge warhammer from behind him and smashed it down on the protective shield of the Big Dipper Formation.

"Horned Wood Dragon - Capture the Dragon." Guo Tianming disappeared from Zhao Changyu's side at some point and appeared in front of Samael. A wooden dragon rushed out from under his feet, meeting Samael's warhammer.

"Boom!" The wooden dragon shattered, but Samael was also sent flying backward by the powerful impact. Guo Tianming followed closely behind, his military knife flashing a cold light as he slashed at Samael's neck. Just then, a huge bear paw suddenly slammed down from the side. Belfinger transformed into a black giant bear and suddenly attacked Guo Tianming at the critical moment, helping Samael resolve the crisis.

Guo Tianming flipped backward to dodge Belfinger's attack, and the next second he charged towards the two without hesitation. Zhao Changyu, Yin Changlin, Huineng and others behind him also rushed out of the protective shield and fought among the monsters.

However, the number of demonic beasts was simply too great, and each one was thick-skinned and powerful. The battle lasted for an hour, and there was still no hope of defeating them. Just as everyone was engaged in the melee, a figure swiftly passed through the horde of demonic beasts. As it approached the protective shield, it suddenly leaped upwards. It was a giant echidna with a pointed snout and thin cheeks, the very embodiment of Mammon. Her body was covered in sharp spikes, each one gleaming with a cold, eerie light. As she leaped into the air, those spikes suddenly transformed into a rain of needles, shooting towards the spiritual energy shield, attempting to break through the Heavenly Dipper Formation while everyone was engrossed in the battle.
