Chapter 372: Chapter 198: Tai Chi Eternal Heaven, the 9 Provinces Tremble as a Storm Rages
RUMBLE!
Immensely powerful Human Race Celestial Venerables arrived from all directions.
A colossal roar echoed, resounding through the heavens!
For a time, the vast sky churned like an ocean. Astral winds howled like a tide, sweeping across Heaven and Earth, ravaging everything in their path!
An incomparably violent might tore through the void, surging without end!
The Buddha Celestial Venerables from the Sumeru Sacred Land held a giant mountain that resembled the spine of the heavens.
The massive mountain blazed with a brilliant golden light before the Buddha Celestial Venerables suddenly hurled it forward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The giant mountain crashed down, seemingly containing all of creation, encompassing Heaven and Earth!
Several members of the Six-winged Divine Race were struck by the mountain. Their bodies instantly shattered as they were sent flying, spitting blood that splattered across the sky!
"Excellent! The Sumeru Sacred Land even brought out Sumeru Mountain itself. This treasure has been nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years, far surpassing an ordinary Celestial Venerable’s Supreme Treasure!"
Someone’s eyes lit up slightly.
「At the same time.」
The Sect Leader of the Jasper Pool Sacred Land held a Nine-leaf Celestial Lotus in her jade-like hand.
Below it, a clear pool of water was faintly visible. She, too, blasted it toward the members of the Six-winged Divine Race!
BOOM!
It was like a river from the highest heavens was crashing down.
The void instantly began to tremble violently like a tidal wave.
Each petal of the Nine-leaf Celestial Lotus was as large as the sky itself, and a vast, boundless aura cascaded down from it.
It took several members of the Six-winged Divine Race working together to barely block the attack.
The Celestial Master of the Three Pristine Sacred Land, meanwhile, threw out a Dharma Seal!
The Dharma Seal split into three, connecting Heaven and Earth. Above it, the phantom images of three Daoists emerged.
Each of these three Daoists seemed to possess the might of a Celestial Venerable as they abruptly charged toward three members of the Six-winged Divine Race!
The other Sects also used their own methods. Their Divine Techniques were vast and mighty, erupting with golden light, rising and falling, dispelling and striking!
It was as if they were composing a world-shaking, invincible symphony!
For a time, the dozen or so members of the Six-winged Divine Race were actually held at bay by the combined forces of the Human Race’s Celestial Venerables!
Vast swathes of the sky were instantly obliterated, leaving behind an empty void.
Endless astral winds swept through, enveloping and grinding everything to dust.
If not for the protection of the Grand Array, the Human Ancestral Land below would have been instantly razed to the ground!
A battle of this scale was even more terrifying than a natural disaster.
This was truly a war where the heavens themselves collapsed!
"Zuo Chongxiao! Li Yutang! As Celestial Venerables of the Human Race, why are you helping a tyrant do evil? Why are you helping the Divine Race invade the Human Ancestral Land?"
"If the Human Ancestral Land falls, do you think you can escape unscathed?!"
"It’s not too late to turn back now!"
Bai Wu roared in anger as he watched the Directors of the Ye State’s Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau, who were still attacking the Grand Array.
Even with all the Celestial Venerables from Ye State’s various Holy Land Sects gathered, they could only barely hold off these members of the Six-winged Divine Race.
They had no strength left to resist the Celestial Venerables from the Courts of the various states!
These Celestial Venerables were normally under the jurisdiction of the Divine Race.
Unexpectedly, at a time when the very survival of the Human Race was at stake, they still chose to stand with the Divine Race, willingly acting as their lapdogs.
The Director of the Demon-slaying Bureau, Zuo Chongxiao, sighed.
"Our hands are tied. Besides, even without us, the Human Race has no chance of winning."
"You have no idea how powerful the Divine Race is. Even if that Wang Xiao truly refines the Celestial Observation Cauldron, he won’t be able to resist them. In the end, it’s still a dead end."
"Helping Wang Xiao now is like throwing an egg against a rock—courting death."
"The Cultivation Realm has always respected the strong. There’s nothing wrong with us submitting to the Divine Race. As long as the green mountains are there, one need not worry about firewood. You are the ones who should turn back!"
Once someone from the Demon-slaying Bureau or Demon Extermination Bureau breaks through to the Celestial Venerable realm, the Divine Race plants a Divine Curse in them.
If they defy an order from the Divine Race, the Divine Curse will be activated, and they will instantly die, their dao dissipating.
Therefore, they could only stand with the Divine Race now!
Without another word, the Celestial Venerables from the Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau continuously unleashed their Divine Techniques, smashing them against the Protective Array.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—
The Chaos Qi on the Grand Array was rapidly being depleted.
Before long, the Protective Array would likely shatter!
Bai Wu and the other Celestial Venerables watched Zuo Chongxiao’s group, grinding their teeth in hatred.
They did not fear the Six-winged Divine Race, but they loathed being stabbed in the back by their fellow Human Race Celestial Venerables at a time like this!
「Right now.」
The Celestial Venerables from the Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau who had come from the Nine Provinces numbered more than thirty in total.
In contrast, Bai Wu and the other Celestial Venerables from the Human Ancestral Land, plus those from the major Holy Land Sects, numbered just over twenty.
It was already a great struggle to hold back the members of the Six-winged Divine Race with the power of the Grand Array.
They had no energy to spare for the Celestial Venerables from the Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau.
Furthermore, there were also the Demon Race Celestial Venerables from the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, as well as the Six-winged Demon Race.
The Human Race Celestial Venerables from their single state alone had no way to fight back.
"He’s right. It is like throwing an egg against a rock. Even without the Celestial Venerables from the Demon-slaying Bureau and Demon Extermination Bureau, you are no match for my Divine Race. To fantasize about resisting the Divine Race of the entire Nine Provinces with the Celestial Venerables of a single state... you think far too highly of yourselves!"
Siming Jue sneered.
He raised the brilliant golden sword in his hand. Countless stars seemed to glitter upon its blade as he suddenly slashed toward the Sumeru Sacred Land’s Sumeru Mountain!
RUMBLE!
The void was instantly shattered, erupting with scorching ripples of Divine Light that stirred up a sky full of roiling astral winds!
An endless torrent of energy surged forth before being instantly annihilated into the tiniest particles.
It was as if everything would be shattered and disappear under this single strike!
Even Sumeru Mountain was cracked by this sword strike. It rumbled violently, and countless chunks of rock tumbled from it!
It looked as if it could dissipate at any moment.
Wielding his golden sword, Siming Jue cut an invincible path as he charged toward the crowd of Human Race Celestial Venerables.
His sword was named the Star Sword, forged from the essence of stars gathered from the highest heavens.
In terms of power alone, it was in no way inferior to Arthas’s Heaven-Reaching Rod!
