at this time,
Behind Yuanshi Tianzun, a banner fluttered. Its color was jet black, and it bore eerie scarlet runes that differed somewhat from the strange runes of the Heavenly Demon Clan seen before.
As the banner flutters, its boundless power bursts forth and surges forth.
It inherently possesses the power to tear apart the primordial chaos, shatter the heavens and spacetime, exemplify the boundless way of creation, govern the mysteries of all laws, and open up the universe. Furthermore, it can manipulate the power of heaven and earth, and its offensive and creative abilities rank first in the primordial world.
[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend I've known for ten years, Huanyuan App! It's incredibly useful; I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download Huanyuan App here.]
Now, after being refined once more, its power is far greater than before, ranking among the top in all the heavens and myriad realms.
The strange runes on the banner swirled, carrying boundless power as they surged towards Xiao Si.
At this moment,
Space was distorted and shattered, time itself seemed to be suppressed by its immense power, and everything stood still.
and,
The Supreme Lord Laozi was surrounded by surging black and red energies, and above his head, a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram appeared, containing what seemed to be countless stars, mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon.
This newly refined Tai Chi diagram has become incredibly powerful, seemingly containing an entire world within it.
Yin and Yang evolve into the Five Elements and the Four Symbols, forming Heaven and Earth, which in turn evolve into the infinite elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
The Taiji diagram of Lao Tzu has now truly reached a certain level of understanding and mastery.
instantly,
The banner of the Primordial Celestial Venerable unleashed boundless power, containing crimson and mysterious runes arranged and intertwined, achieving a terrifying level of strength.
Even a mere wisp of leaked power was enough to suppress the entire primordial world.
Even the greatest quasi-saints could only shed blood under this power, their souls scattered, unable to be reborn.
As Laozi's Taiji diagram operated, the black and red energies descended towards Xiao Si, seemingly carrying the power of the entire world, its terror no less than that of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Seeing this,
Xiao Si's expression remained unchanged as he took slow, light steps, causing the entire Chaotic Heavenly Palace to tremble as if it were about to return to the primordial void once more.
At that very moment,
The power of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laozi was weakened in an instant, and their terrifying power was as weak as a child in front of Xiao Si.
this……!
The Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Supreme Laozi were both taken aback, astonished by Xiao Si's formidable power.
At the same time, the two cursed inwardly, naturally cursing Zhunti and Jieyin. Those two bastards really knew how to choose, directly picking the relatively weak Xiaoqi!
Holy crap! (A lush green plant!)
Xiao Si's voice rang out indifferently at this moment, "That's it?! Not weak, but not strong either!"
Yuanshi Tianzun: "..."
Lao Tzu: ⊙﹏⊙!
What kind of talk is that?! It can't be called weak, but it's not strong either, so isn't it still weak?!
Well said, don't say it again!
At this time,
Master Tongtian: Look! Look! This is my grand-disciple, incredibly fierce!
From now on, whether the primordial world is in chaos or not, I, Tongtian, will decide!
Everyone: ?!
You call them shameless? You're quite thick-skinned yourself. Your cultivation level isn't even as good as your grand-disciple's!
Tsk!
Tongtian Cult Leader: ? Who said that! Who said that?! Come forward! Step forward, do you dare tell me who you are?!
snort!
Everyone: Uh...!
We really don't dare. There's no need for your grand-disciple to intervene. We can't afford to offend you either. We're scared. So what? We're scared!
After all, we're not thick-skinned enough to sell our souls. Even if we wanted to, as lowly scum, we wouldn't make much money!
The Four Sages of Yuanshi Tianzun: ? ? ?
You guys keep talking, why are you dragging us into this?! What's with the implications? Huh?! You think you can mess with Tongtian but you dare mess with us?
Everyone: ! ⊙﹏⊙!
Since you're all going to die anyway, what's there to be afraid of saying? Just bury it in the ground, oh wait, there won't even be any ashes left, so there's no need to bury it. That's good, it saves land!
The Four Saints: ? ? !
Although it's not very harmful, it's quite insulting!
...
To put it another way,
Outside Sishui Pass, the fighting was also quite fierce.
The Great Zhou camp fielded a large number of Heavenly Demons, making it entirely a battle between cultivators.
As for the mortal army, firstly, they had no opportunity to clash, and secondly, the Zhou camp had no soldiers left; they had mutinied and fled.
Seeing that the Great Zhou was about to perish, and that going up there would only be suicide, and besides, the Shang king was by no means a foolish ruler, and the people of the Great Shang were living very well, Ji Fa's description of the Great Shang as so terrible was only to fulfill his own ambitions.
They weren't fools; they naturally understood that they obeyed orders earlier for two reasons: first, military orders couldn't be disobeyed, and second, they also had their own ambitions. If they could truly achieve merit by following the emperor, it would mean a lifetime of wealth and honor, completely changing their fate.
Now that the empire is crumbling, the possibility of exchanging military merit for wealth is gone, so naturally they will no longer risk their lives. In this situation, they can't even afford to run away.
Furthermore, the law does not punish the most serious offenses. Even if there are any unforeseen circumstances and the strongmen of the Great Zhou win, they will not be killed!
Of course, the chances of the Great Zhou winning are very low, extremely low.
At this time,
Outside Sishui Pass, a vast area was sealed off, where members of the Jie Sect's branch sect clashed with a group of celestial demons. The battle was exceptionally fierce.
The laws flowed continuously, the Daoist principles were chaotic and disordered, and the space itself had long since collapsed.
Of course, there was also an eerie light, and a mysterious, divine power flowed within it, its strength terrifying.
Watching such a fierce battle,
The Great Zhou camp
Inside the commander's tent,
Ji Fa's face was naturally grim. "Prime Minister, tell me the truth, is it possible for my Great Zhou to win? Now... I am truly all alone, a commander without troops or generals. If... these powerful figures fail, Great Zhou will be utterly destroyed. If we win, the army can be regrouped. Success or failure truly depends on this battle. Prime Minister, tell me, can we... achieve victory in one decisive battle?!"
Upon hearing this,
Jiang Ziya replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Mandate of Heaven rests on our Great Zhou, and Great Zhou will surely win this battle!"
Now that the four sages have also made their move, they have restrained the top experts of the Great Shang Dynasty. Your Majesty, you can rest assured!
That's what they said, but even Jiang Ziya himself had no confidence in it.
The so-called new trend of the Investiture of the Gods is probably doomed to a complete defeat, ha!
wipe!
I'm still worried, and I still have to comfort him! (******Full of traditional Chinese culture, the really dirty kind, as dirty as it gets!)
At this time,
Ji Fa didn't believe Jiang Ziya at all; judging from this situation, how could he possibly win?
However, before Ji Fa could say anything, Shen Gongbao's voice rang out from outside the command tent, "Jiang Ziya, what are you hiding for? Come out and fight! What kind of coward are you!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Jiang Ziya frowned, his mind wavering, and he felt fear. But things had come to this point, and it was time to resolve everything; there was no escaping it!
"Hmph! How arrogant! I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Come on! Fight! Today I will clean up the sect for my master!" Jiang Ziya shouted loudly, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the command tent, where he clashed with Shen Gongbao.
...
It was at this moment that
The space inside the command tent rippled slightly, and then Di Xin's figure appeared in front of Ji Fa.
