Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling light flashed, and the figure of the Ninth Ancestor of the Yuan Clan appeared before Yuan Qianmo like a ghost.
His body radiated a dazzling divine light, like a golden sun rising, instantly illuminating the entire space.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Qianmo quickly bowed and clasped his hands together with the commander of the Yuanshi Guard and a hundred Yuanshi Guards, saying in unison, "Greetings, Ninth Ancestor!"
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly in response to their greeting.
Then, his gaze fell on Yuan Qianmo, and he asked, "Qianmo, where are the Immortal and the others?"
Yuan Qianmo dared not delay and hurriedly retrieved the golden pagoda from his sea of consciousness.
With a thought, his divine consciousness flowed into the golden pagoda like a clear spring.
In an instant, the golden pagoda burst forth with dazzling light, and the figures of Yuan Zhexian and the others emerged from the pagoda like phantoms, landing steadily in front of the Yuan Clan's Ninth Ancestor.
As Yuan Zhexian and the others slowly emerged from the golden pagoda, their figures gradually became clearer.
Just then, everyone suddenly noticed that the Yuan Clan's Ninth Ancestor was standing not far away, smiling as he looked at them.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Ninth Ancestor."
When the Ninth Ancestor saw that Yuan Zhexian and the others were safe and sound, his smile widened. He asked softly, "How are you, Zhexian? Were you hurt?"
Yuan Zhexian quickly shook his head and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Ninth Ancestor. I have not been harmed in any way."
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor nodded, then turned his gaze to Yuan Qianmo and instructed, "In that case, Qianmo, protect the Immortal and the others well and ensure their safety."
"As for Jin Jue, leave him to me."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qianmo immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Ninth Ancestor."
His attitude was serious and earnest, clearly showing that he dared not neglect the Ninth Ancestor's orders in the slightest.
Immediately afterwards, just like Jin Jue, the Ninth Ancestor walked steadily through the void step by step toward Jin Jue.
His every step was so unhurried, as if the entire space was making way for him.
In this way, the Ninth Ancestor walked until he was several miles away from Jinjue before stopping.
At this moment, the two stood face to face. Although the distance between them was not close, it did not affect the atmosphere of confrontation between them in the slightest.
Jin Jue spoke first, his voice cold and deep, as if containing endless anger: "Yuan Shengyuan, you and I are both among the Ten Greats, but we have never truly fought each other."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Back then, when you suppressed the clan leaders of my original Fire Clan and Ice Clan, I was at a critical moment and unable to extricate myself, so I remained in seclusion."
At this point, Jin Jue's tone became increasingly stern: "Today, let's settle this once and for all!"
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly erupted with a terrifying aura that could destroy the world, like a volcano about to erupt, sending chills down everyone's spine.
His aura was like an extremely terrifying torrent, instantly soaring into the heavens, seemingly about to tear this world apart.
Faced with such a powerful aura, the Ninth Ancestor appeared extremely disdainful, with a slight upturn of his lips revealing a contemptuous smile.
Then he shook his head and said, "They're really overestimating themselves and just asking for trouble!"
Upon hearing the Ninth Ancestor's words, Jin Jue felt a surge of anger, but he did not lose his temper. Instead, he suppressed his rage and coldly snorted, "Arrogant!"
After saying that, Jin Jue suddenly stretched out an arm and leaned it against his chest like lightning.
At that very moment, a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted behind him, followed by a colossal Dharma image, a million miles tall, rising up like a mountain.
This image is identical to that of Jin Jue, with both hands in mudras, one pointing to the sky and the other held horizontally across the chest, radiating a chilling aura.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Jue's hands began to rapidly condense a celestial seal. His fingers moved like flowing water, and mysterious runes intertwined in the air, eventually converging into a dazzling celestial seal.
Once the immortal seal was fully formed, Jin Jue took a deep breath and shouted, "The essence of metal—Gather power to annihilate!"
As his words fell, the towering Dharma image, which was a million miles tall, suddenly flickered and transformed into nine identical Dharma images in an instant, like a phantom.
These nine Dharma images, like nine giants, form a circle that tightly surrounds the nine ancestors of the Yuan clan in the middle.
Subsequently, the hands of the nine deities began to undergo a wondrous transformation. The hands, which were originally held horizontally in front of their chests, slowly rose, with the left hand forming a mudra facing upwards and the right hand forming a mudra facing downwards, creating a unique mudra.
Just then, nine dazzling golden rays appeared like a golden sun.
Suddenly emerging from the center of the nine Dharma images with their hands in mudras, the light was like the blazing sun in the heavens, intense and dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it.
In that instant, the nine golden rays shot out like lightning, like nine golden dragons carrying boundless power, rushing straight toward the Nine Ancestors with overwhelming force.
Faced with this sudden attack, the Ninth Ancestor remained unusually calm.
With a flick of his right hand, a quasi-immortal emperor sword appeared in his hand.
The sword shimmered with a dazzling golden light, its hilt inlaid with precious stones, and exuded a chilling aura of imperial power.
Without hesitation, the Ninth Ancestor raised the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Sword high, and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Sword suddenly flashed with a dazzling golden sword light.
Immediately, Group Nine unleashed a massive golden light with a single, straight sword strike.
This sword light, like the dawn breaking through the darkness, sped toward the nine terrifying energies at an astonishing speed.
In an instant, the golden sword light and the terrifying combined energy of the nine forces collided violently in the void.
In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world was shaken by this earth-shattering impact.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth, as bright and dazzling as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire world.
The terrifying power contained within this beam of light was like a raging torrent, sweeping across the surroundings and destroying everything in its path.
Even the surrounding space could not withstand the terrifying energy impact, and was forcibly torn apart, forming countless black spatial cracks, as if the entire world was about to be ripped into pieces by this power.
Nevertheless, the two energies continued to fiercely clash in the void, neither willing to yield.
Just as the stalemate was at its peak, the Ninth Ancestor suddenly let out a soft shout, and his right hand suddenly exerted force, unleashing an extremely terrifying power once again.
This power, like a volcanic eruption, was continuously poured into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Sword.
The already incredibly powerful golden sword light, empowered by this new force, instantly became even more dazzling and its power even greater.
Finally, with the full force of the Ninth Ancestor, the golden sword light, like an indestructible arrow, forcefully broke through the combined energy of the nine Golden Avatars.
