"Now you know I'm not exaggerating! This kid's future achievements will definitely surpass you and me!" The Formation-Devouring Beast said proudly, his tone full of confidence and determination.
"Brother Emperor Shi, you are now practicing both soul and formation. Once your physical body catches up, even if I conquer you with my soul body, I am afraid I will not be your opponent. Is Yu Kai really that powerful?" The Demon Snail Monkey scratched his head with an unbelievable look on his face, his eyes full of confusion.
"Brother Moluo, there are some things I can't tell you too much, for fear of bringing trouble to Yu Kai. In the future you will know how terrifying his inheritance is!" The Array-Devouring Beast said seriously, with a hint of mystery and seriousness in his tone.
"Okay, since big brother is so optimistic about him, I will definitely help him with all my strength and protect his growth!" The magic snail monkey patted his chest and promised solemnly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"You all must obey Brother Moluo's arrangements! I will go into seclusion now!" As soon as the words fell, the body of the Formation-Devouring Beast gradually faded, as if it had merged into the void.
"Yes, sir!" Shen Teng and the others responded respectfully. However, before they could get up, a powerful pressure suddenly came down from outer space and spread throughout Neptune in an instant.
"How dare you!" the Snail Monkey roared coldly, and an incredibly powerful wave erupted from his thin body. This force instantly spread across Neptune, directly shattering the pressure descending from outer space.
Immediately afterwards, a giant hand covered in scales stretched out from the Shen family and reached out into outer space. Wherever the giant hand passed, the surrounding void shattered like glass, unable to withstand such terrifying power.
In outer space, hundreds of massive celestial warships, like giant steel beasts, lined up neatly beyond Neptune. Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, the Xuanyuan Sword slung across his waist, his expression stern as he and the Four Heavenly Masters gazed down at Neptune below. As they emerged from the portal, they unleashed a tacit, coordinated surge of spiritual pressure towards Neptune, attempting to intimidate the Shen family with their overwhelming power. However, to their surprise, this surge of spiritual pressure was instantly shattered by an even more powerful spiritual force. The four of them exchanged glances, a solemn look in their eyes. It seemed that Neptune was indeed blessed by a powerful being.
Just as they were pondering this, a gap suddenly appeared in the great formation circulating on Neptune. Like a torn sky, the gap rapidly widened. Xuanyuan and the others were filled with confusion when a massive, sky-blocking palm suddenly thrust itself out from below. It exuded a suffocating, terrifying pressure, like a towering mountain bearing down on them.
Gazing at the giant hand reaching towards them, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi unhesitatingly drew the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist, pointed it directly at the giant hand, and shouted in a voice as loud as a bell: "How dare you! Who is this demon who dares to be so presumptuous here? Do you know who we are?"
At the same time, Zhang Daoling and several other Celestial Masters also sprang into action, jointly constructing a powerful defensive barrier. Upon witnessing this, the numerous celestial soldiers and generals exerted their powers, continuously channeling their spiritual energy into the barrier. In an instant, the barrier illuminated with a dazzling light, and mysterious runes emerged from it, interweaving into an impenetrable defensive network.
However, the huge palm was not moved at all by Xuanyuan's scolding, and still slammed down on them with the force of thunder.
"Arrogant wretch!" Xuanyuan Huangdi roared, his eyes wide with rage. He poured all his spiritual energy into the Xuanyuan Sword without reservation, simultaneously unleashing his divine powers, mobilizing the might of the central earth, even drawing upon the vast destiny of the Celestial Court and the human race. "Kill!" Xuanyuan Huangdi and the Xuanyuan Sword instantly merged into one, transforming into an incomparably sharp giant sword. A stream of light instantly streaked through the void, seemingly tearing apart all barriers between heaven and earth. The entire world trembled violently under this terrifying force, as if unable to withstand the pressure emanating from the longsword. With unwavering determination, he charged straight towards the monstrous palm.
“This Xuanyuan Huangdi is so powerful, he is definitely a Dao Zun-level strongman!” Shen Jingyu looked at this scene and said solemnly, his eyes full of shock.
"As the supreme ruler of the human race, he is able to mobilize the luck of the entire human race for cultivation. It is not surprising that he has the strength of a Taoist master." The Snail Monkey had a calm expression and his tone was full of disdain, as if Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi was just an ant in his eyes.
"Ding!" At that moment, the longsword transformed by Xuanyuan fiercely pierced the giant palm of the Demon Snail Monkey, making a resounding sound. Everyone was shocked. They saw Xuanyuan Huangdi exerting force again and again, trying to pierce the giant palm with his longsword. However, each time the longsword and the giant palm collided, except for the "ding ding" sound, the giant palm remained unscathed.
"Hmph!" the Devil Snail Monkey snorted coldly, a sound that resonated throughout the void like a bolt from the blue. His massive palm, unwavering, continued its downward thrust towards the Celestial Warship. The impact of the palm's fall pierced the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, who bore the brunt of the impact. The longsword, formed from him and the Xuanyuan Sword, exploded with a bang. Covered in blood, the Yellow Emperor plummeted into the void like a corpse.
Everyone gasped upon seeing this. That was the Yellow Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race, yet he was crushed beneath this giant palm. Everyone marveled at who could possibly possess such terrifying power, capable of easily suppressing the Emperor of Man.
Zhang Daoling was horrified when he saw Emperor Xuanyuan fall injured. He dared not slack off for even a moment and shouted at the crowd at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, the giant palm is coming. Everyone, you must give it your all, otherwise we will all lose our lives today!"
"We swear to defend the majesty of Heaven to the death!" The other three Heavenly Masters and numerous Heavenly Soldiers and Generals shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens. They all exerted all their strength, frantically pouring spiritual energy into the formation, hoping that it could withstand this devastating disaster.
"Boom!" The massive palm descended with unstoppable force, instantly shattering the entire defensive formation. Everyone vomited blood and flew backward, screaming in agony. Zhang Daoling and several other Heavenly Masters were not spared either. They violently spat out mouthfuls of blood, waving their hands and shouting, "Everyone, run!" With that, they transformed into streaks of light and fled in panic into the distance.
However, as the giant palm descended, the surrounding void shattered like a broken mirror. Everyone was instantly shattered by the shattered void. Massive celestial warships exploded one after another beneath the giant palm, sending limbs and arms flying everywhere. Except for Zhang Daoling and several other Celestial Masters, who managed to retain some fragments of their souls thanks to their substitute talismans, everything else vanished under this terrifying force.
Countless onlookers gasped at this. The Shen family actually dared to openly defy Heaven. Weren't they afraid of incurring the wrath of the Sage and returning to the wilderness?
"Who is such a powerful being? Why didn't he respond to the call of the Taoist Ancestor and go to the Demon Pass? Could he be the Demon Lord of the Abyss Demon Alliance?" A cultivator guessed with confusion on his face, his eyes full of fear.
"No, this power clearly comes from a great demon, and there's no sign of demonic energy leaking," another person said after carefully sensing it. The massive palm slowly withdrew towards Neptune. As the palm withdrew, the formation gathered again, returning to its original state.
