But at this critical moment, a melodious phoenix voice echoed from the core immortal mountain of the Universal Holy Land:
"Activate the formation!"
The boundless and vast energy was suppressed at this moment, and the array patterns of the Universal Array stopped operating instantly.
Wan Jiang felt his rising energy suddenly stop, and the power of the formation instantly withdrew from his body. The millions of lights in his hand turned into specks of light like dust and merged back into the formation.
But the murderous intent unleashed by Chen Nong could not be suppressed. Wan Jiang's face paled as he looked at the inescapable killing intent and let out a mournful cry:
"The Holy Mother has misled me!"
Bang!
Wan Jiang felt a chill on his neck, heard gusts of wind whistling past his ears, and saw the scene before him moving rapidly.
It wasn't until a familiar headless figure was smashed into a bloody pulp by power before his eyes that he realized he had been beheaded.
The Grand Elder of the Universal Holy Land was beheaded by someone within the Universal Holy Land, his body smashed into a bloody pulp, which then rained blood onto the faces of the Universal Holy Land's disciples.
How could this scene not enrage the Holy Land of the Universe? In an instant, the crowd was filled with indignation, and every disciple of the Holy Land of the Universe was filled with grief and anger over Wan Jiang's death.
But before they could even curse, the great formation protecting them suddenly opened, and 108 ancient stars suddenly appeared on the entire Holy Land of the Universe, their immense power pressing down like a sea.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless celestial palaces and pavilions collapsed under the power of this star. Below the Saint Realm and even within the Saint Realm, except for the core immortal mountain of the Universal Saint Land, tens of thousands of cultivators from the Universal Saint Land were suppressed by the power of the star and involuntarily knelt on the ground.
Tens of thousands of cultivators, including many saints and sages, were unable to even open their mouths to speak at this moment, as if the pause button had been pressed, and could only remain in a kneeling posture.
At that very moment, the giant star chariot, which stood as steady as Mount Tai outside the Sacred Land of the Universe, slowly entered the Sacred Land of the Universe under the vigorous pull of the nine ancient dragons of the Void.
The shockwaves from the nine ancient dragons of the Void blew open the already collapsed celestial palace, revealing countless kneeling figures.
With tens of thousands of cultivators kneeling in worship, it seemed as if the person in the giant chariot in the starry sky was the true master of the sacred land of the universe.
At this moment, Du Buhui was in the Holy Son Hall, and his body was already feeling a chill, trembling slightly.
His clothes were soaked with cold sweat. Even now, he couldn't believe that Zhou Xingdou had actually reappeared. He had personally witnessed the most ancient being of the Primordial Era, whose power was beyond description.
It's as if the Way of Heaven is standing right in front of you, impermissible and in control of everything.
In Du Buhui's eyes, with such a terrifying being as Tianjizi making his move and having planned for a long time, Zhou Xingdou simply couldn't withstand it.
He couldn't understand why the Holy Mother of the Universe would prevent Wan Jiang from activating the formation and directly open it to let the hostile Zhou Xingdou enter the Holy Land of the Universe.
But now he had no time to question the Holy Mother of the Universe, because the terrifying ancient dragon slowly heading towards the immortal mountain and the incomparably noble starry sky chariot shattered his illusions and thoughts, pressing straight towards the Holy Son's Palace!
Zhou Xingdou sat in a giant chariot that resembled a palace. Around the throne, which was adorned with magnificent lightning patterns and starlight, were crystal-clear prisms that projected the scenery outside the chariot onto Zhou Xingdou's surroundings.
The prism emanates spatial laws, connecting the windows on both sides of the giant chariot. If Zhou Xingdou wishes, he can directly attack outside the chariot through the prism, but enemies on the outside cannot attack Zhou Xingdou through the windows.
Even Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but sigh at Tie Qianduan's weapon-forging ability, and felt somewhat regretful about killing Tie Qianduan that day. He thought it would have been better to plant the Myriad Transformation Slave Seal on him.
However, now that Tie Qianduan is dead and his soul has vanished, there is no use in expressing regret.
Zhou Xingdou also focused his gaze on the Holy Son's Palace atop the Immortal Mountain of the Universal Holy Land. He had not originally intended to create such a stir; his target from beginning to end had only been Du Buhui.
However, Chen Nong was quite determined to make amends. These servants of the Zhou family seemed gentle, but that was only true to Zhou Xingdou.
Whether it was Chen Nong, Commander Xingyou, or Wei Luosheng and the others, they all came from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the outer realms, and their ruthlessness and indifference far exceeded that of ordinary people.
If Zhou Xingdou hadn't restrained his bloodlust for Wan Tianzhou and the Holy Mother of the Universe, Chen Nong and the entire Xingyou clan would likely have unleashed a massacre in this Holy Land of the Universe.
After all, the Universal Holy Land, located in the Tai Shi Dao Domain, is different from Tian Ji Zi. They know it too well, and it is impossible for such a situation to happen again!
Zhou Xingdou looked at the Holy Son's Palace, his handsome face turning slightly cold, and slowly rose from the throne.
Du Buhui watched as the giant chariot stopped so close to him, and felt a tightness in his throat. He swallowed hard, struggling to support his trembling body, and stared intently at the portal of the starry chariot.
Du Buhui has long lost the demeanor of a holy son. Now he is like a stray dog, in a sorry state even though no one is chasing him.
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou stepped out from the giant star chariot. He slightly raised his indifferent face, and his silver-white eyes, filled with purple aura, looked down at the trembling Du Buhui as if he were looking at an ant.
Are you angry?
Upon seeing Du Buhui's attitude, Zhou Xingdou felt anger towards such a despicable person and lost his composure.
But this doesn't mean he will let Du Buhui go.
Meanwhile, at the top of the Celestial Mountain, the Celestial Mother leaned back on her magnificent throne, her snow-white, plump legs, bathed in celestial light, lazily crossed.
A hint of doubt stirred in her long, narrow phoenix eyes, which were as deep as spring water.
She was also very curious about Zhou Xingdou's sudden return in such a short time, and felt a little excited, thinking that Zhou Xingdou had come up with a way to save Wan Tianzhou.
This is also why she seized control of the Wanjiang formation at that time, opened the formation, and allowed Zhou Xingdou's starry sky chariot to drive straight in.
As for Wan Jiang's life or death, the Holy Mother of the Universe did not care. The rumors from the outside were indeed true. She did indeed regard the Holy Land of the Universe as her private property. Her power struggle was not only for Wan Tianzhou, but also for herself.
Of course, she didn't lie to Zhou Xingdou. She cared about her son very much, otherwise she wouldn't have ventured alone into the outer realms just to seek help from the Zhou family and fight for that faint glimmer of hope for Wan Tianzhou.
Therefore, she didn't care about the Holy Land of the Universe. As long as her son could return, she could endure even if all the disciples of the Holy Land of the Universe were wiped out, the Emperor Ancestor punished her, and she was imprisoned in the Heavenly Abyss.
Therefore, at this moment, she not only opened the formation for Zhou Xingdou, but also isolated the area behind the Immortal Mountain, preventing the ancestors of the Universal Holy Land from noticing anything from the outside world and interfering with Zhou Xingdou.
The Holy Mother of the Universe's phoenix eyes flickered as she murmured to herself:
"Zhou Xingdou, I hope you won't disappoint me. A disappointed woman is a terrible thing..."
