"Each of the eighteen Buddhist Arhats are no way inferior to Golden Immortals and Buddhas," said Yi Xiao anxiously. "Arhat Taming Dragon is extremely famous in the Three Realms. Despite that, the eighteen of them combined are still afraid of Supremacy Star Destruction? There’s the 36 Heavenly Constellations and 72 Earthly Wraiths as well. Each of the Heavenly Constellations rival mighty figures in strength. Even the Earthly Wraiths have strength at the half-step Golden Immortal level. Yet with their Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraith Formation, they are still afraid of Star Destruction?"
Qin Yun stared high into the sky. As he looked at the Great Yin Disk which appeared like a moon in Star Destruction’s hands, he said, "Based on current intelligence, they should not be afraid of Supremacy Star Destruction when they combine forces. But now, Supremacy Star Destruction has obtained the Connate Numinous treasure, the Great Yin Disk, which greatly increases his strength. He is also different from ordinary experts. He’s best at destruction! He can even destroy Connate Numinous treasures. If the Eighteen Arhat Formation and the Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraith Formation are destroyed by him, there might be casualties."
"He’s that powerful?" Yi Xiao turned worried.
"Yes. Even I do not dare to use my Intrinsic Flying Sword against him," said Qin Yun with a defeated tone. He had no choice but to admit it despite being unwilling to do so.
His strength only matched that of an ordinary mighty figure. He was only considered most average compared to people like the eighteen Arhats.
When one’s strength was inferior...
His Intrinsic Flying Sword could easily be chipped even if it couldn’t be snapped in two.
"Although my Great Chang world’s eight massive arrays are powerful, Senior Brother Zhang and I feared that the fiends would send Supremacy Star Destruction," said Qin Yun as he glared.
"How does he have the Great Yin Disk? That is a domain-type Connate Numinous treasure. It’s extremely precious and it is rumored that it’s Patriarch Bojia’s most cherished treasure," asked Yi Xiao.
"Is there a need to ask?"
Qin Yun continued, "Previously, there was Kuifu and Fiend Supremacy Black Wing. They were both Patriarch Bojia’s subordinates! The Great Yin Disk in Supremacy Star Destruction’s possession was also Patriarch Bojia’s... Clearly, the one who’s trying to attack our Great Chang world is actually Patriarch Bojia. And Patriarch Bojia has no right to order Supremacy Star Destruction on a mission. The Great Yin Disk is probably the price for seeking his help. He really is willing to go to great lengths to conquer our Great Chang world. He is even willing to pay such a huge price!"
"Then what can be done about it?"
"Let’s hope the Heavenly Courts and Buddhists have another solution."
...
And in space.
The eighteen Arhats and the 108 Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraith were burning with anxiety and anger. However, none of them dared to act rashly.
This made Supremacy Star Destruction, who was below them, turn gleeful.
"Whoosh."
A figure tore through space as he walked out of a spatial passageway. By his side was a black dog.
He was dressed in silver armor, and he held a three-pointed, double-edged lance. He overlooked the area beneath him calmly.
"Greetings, Perfect Sovereign!" The 108 Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraith became delighted as they saw their leader and immediately bowed reverently.
"Greetings, Perfect Sovereign."
The eighteen Arhats also bowed slightly.
Even the smug Supremacy Star Destruction’s expression changed. He looked up into the cosmos at the silver-armored man with the black dog. "Yang Jian?"
The person who had arrived was Heavenly Courts’ number one combat general—Perfect Sovereign Erlang, Yang Jian, who hailed from the Guan River’s mouth. He cultivated in the best body-tempering Dharmic formulation in the Three Realms, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. He was cream of the crop among pinnacle Golden Immortals. Similarly, he was the best combat general in Jade Void Palace. He was most unrelenting in his pursuits of fiends with heinous sins. He had even slain seven Ancestral Fiends.
What fiendish demon in the Three Realms would not fear him?
Yang Jian looked down and saw the couple hovering above the East Sea’s surface in the Great Chang world.
"Qin Yun?" Yang Jian’s eyes had a look of warmth. He was most unrelenting when it came to pursuing fiends; therefore, he had also kept tabs on Qin Yun.
Despite Qin Yun’s time in the spotlight being short, many fiends had succumbed to his sword. Among those were quite a number of half-step Ancestral Fiends. Even Fiend King Zhuhou of the spirit-devouring lineage had died to Qin Yun. Same for Fiend Supremacy Black Wing. Yang Jian came to think highly of Qin Yun after he investigated his background! He did not care about sect differences, but cared more about those who truly devoted themselves to slaying fiends. In contrast, Yang Jian despised the immortals and buddhas who led leisurely lives.
"Haha. Yang Jian, I never expected you to come as well," roared Star Destruction with laughter. "It’s said that you are the best combat general in the Heavenly Courts, as well as the best combat general in Jade Void Palace. But from my point of view, you are this and nothing more."
Yang Jian stood among the stars and ignored Supremacy Star Destruction. Instead, he said, "Divine generals, Arhats, can you purge this fiend?"
The eighteen Arhats and the 108 Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraith shook their heads slightly in embarrassment.
"Fine. Attack him in the cosmos and restrain him," ordered Yang Jian. "I will ensure your safety."
"Yes." The Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraiths acknowledged the order.
"Perfect Sovereign, thank you." The eighteen Arhats nodded with a smile.
Yang Jian was extremely powerful in combat. He was absolutely the strongest among pinnacle Golden Immortals. He had no fear even if he fought perfected Ancestral Fiends. He was illustrious during the battle of the three Daoist factions, and over time, he became even stronger.
"Restrain me?"
Star Destruction laughed out loud.
His body transformed into an obstreperous black cloud. The massive black cloud appeared like a miniature planet. It settled in the sky above the Great Chang world and blotted out half the sky. Deep in the black clouds was a red glow that left one’s heart palpitating. And amid the red glow surfaced a gigantic face. It looked towards the stars and laughed out loud. "Yang Jian, the Three Realms talk about how powerful you are. But I want to see how capable you are. Take this!"
His goading was accompanied by world-shaking laughter.
From deep in the black clouds, two red arms extended out. The arms were like tempered stone that suffused scarlet. It had red patterns that looked like the formation of volcanic activity. However, the two arms were tens of thousands of kilometers long. They extended into space and reached for Yang Jian.
Yang Jian’s eyes emitted a cold glint that stood out amidst dark space as he struck out forward.
Phew!
The entire space warped as a huge phantom palm imprint was produced. It was tens of thousands of kilometers in span as it slammed straight at the grotesque red arms.
"Boom~" It was accompanied by a deep rumble.
The two red arms, that were tens of thousands of kilometers long, hurled forward with full force. But they trembled when struck by the phantom giant palm imprint. It immediately swooshed back in retreat and retracted from the Small World’s boundaries.
"The spirit-devouring lineage sure has interesting means." Yang Jian squinted his eyes slightly. He also knew that the two arms were the strongest parts of Supremacy Star Destruction. They were even stronger than ordinary Connate Numinous treasures. He had no means to destroy them either, but in comparison, the black cloud which was Star Destruction’s true body was relatively weaker. He could probably easily crush it if it was right in front of him!
However, Star Destruction was extremely crafty. He kept his body inside the Small World, only using his powerful arms to extend his attacks into space.
"Hmph, Yang Jian. What can you do to me while I’m inside the Great Chang world?" The face in the black cloud scoffed. Following that, the two gigantic red arms swooped down to grab at the Great Chang world’s array formation.
"Restrain him," said Yang Jian.
"Star Destruction!"
The Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraith Formation and the Eighteen Arhat Formation were simultaneously put into motion.
They attacked from a distance.
Beams of stellar light pummeled the black cloud.
There were also golden palm imprints that smashed at him.
"Attacking from tens of thousands of kilometers away, and even in my Great Yin domain? You want to restrain me?" The face in the black cloud laughed out loud. The red arms continued extending out as they finally grabbed onto numerous array formations above the Great Chang’s nineteen Prefectures.
Qin Yun and Yi Xiao looked up.
They clearly saw the red stony arms which resembled heavenly pillars plunge towards them. Just the mere sight left them repressed.
"Bam!"
As the light from the array formations swirled, they formed ripples. The gigantic barrier of light undulated as the ripples diverted the impactful force away. The eight massive arrays were indeed impressive, managing to forcefully withstand the two arms.
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"
Streams of stellar light descended, but were constantly fended off by the dense Great Yin domain. By the time they traveled 15,000 kilometers and made it to the black cloud, they had lost about 80% of their might.
The golden palm imprints produced by the eighteen Arhats flew the same distance through the Great Yin domain, but the weakening was even more evident.
The stellar streams of light and golden palm imprints landed on the black cloud which spanned more than five thousand kilometers, only to rapidly sink into oblivion.
...
"Qin Yun, Daoist Divine Firmament. I’m Yang Jian. In a while, I will get the eighteen Arhats and the 108 Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraiths to use a treasure to deliver our full might. We will be able to hold back Star Destruction for a short period of time. It will prevent him from diverting any attention in your direction. The both of you are to take this opportunity to escape the Great Chang world. You can also bring a small amount of people along as you escape. However, you have to be fast!" A clear voice sounded in Qin Yun’s and Ancestral Master Zhang’s ears through karma. "Prepare quickly. Once you are done with your preparations, inform me."
"Perfect Sovereign Erlang, Yang Jian?" Qin Yun was somewhat astonished. He did not know Yang Jian at all. Yet, he was giving him so much help?
