The Sea King's voice immediately brought the Jade King to his senses, and the recovering General Zhiyang also opened his eyes instantly.
The Ancient Celestial Venerable ignored the Sea King and the Jade King, his clear black and white eyes fixed on the Supreme Yang General, and he said in a deep voice:
"Did the Supreme Celestial Venerable send you to escape before his death, and send you to deliver this message to me?"
Zhiyang was slightly taken aback. When faced with the question from the Ancient Celestial Venerable, an invisible pressure enveloped him, making his breathing rapid.
"Yes."
But just as Zhiyang was about to utter those two words, he suddenly felt his throat being clamped by iron clamps, and his cross-legged body was lifted high into the air.
"Hmph! That old fox, Supreme Celestial Venerable, is already showing mercy by not using you as a shield. Would someone like him use his last bit of power to help you escape before he dies?"
At this moment, the Ancient Celestial Venerable's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at the Supreme Yang General as if he were looking at a dead man.
Others may not know, but as a fellow Celestial Venerable, the Ancient Celestial Venerable knows the Supreme Celestial Venerable all too well.
Among the three supreme beings, the Supreme Heavenly Venerable is the most hypocritical and shameless. If there were a life-or-death crisis, the Supreme Yang would only die before the Supreme Heavenly Venerable; how could he possibly escape?
The Ancient Celestial Venerable had tried to contact the Supreme Celestial Venerable through the power of the Heavenly Realm, but had failed. It was likely that the Supreme Celestial Venerable was doomed.
This General Zhiyang is probably a bait, designed to lure me out.
Ancient Celestial Venerable snorted coldly:
"Hmph! Tell me, who sent you?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Jade King trembled with fear. The words of the Ancient Celestial Venerable basically confirmed that Zhiyang was a spy. After dealing with Zhiyang, how could he, who had let the wolf into the house, possibly fare well?
The Sea King sneered. He had always felt that something was wrong with Zhiyang, and he felt a bit of schadenfreude towards the Jade King.
Zhiyang remained silent, staring at Gu Tianzun with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Buzz!
The void behind the Ancient Celestial Venerable suddenly opened up, and an incomparably domineering fist imprint slammed into the back of the Ancient Celestial Venerable's head.
The ancient Celestial Venerable, whose face was originally as cold as ice, was suddenly startled and took a step forward in a fraction of a second, managing to dodge the punch.
Immediately afterwards, the ancient celestial being's childlike body turned in mid-air, his tender hands forming several hand seals, condensing a terrifying magic seal, which roared out with the power of the celestial realm, blasting towards the fist.
Zhou Xingdou's figure appeared in the void. Facing the terrifying magic seal, Zhou Xingdou smiled slightly and casually flicked his hand, causing the magic seal that had been about to be destroyed to instantly collapse.
"He's really something, no wonder he's the strongest person in the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains."
Zhou Xingdou looked at the Ancient Celestial Venerable, who was smiling on the surface, but his heart sank.
Of the three Heavenly Venerables, only the Ancient Heavenly Venerable managed to dodge his sneak attack. The Ancient Heavenly Venerable's worth is indeed much higher than the other two Heavenly Venerables.
However, his self-inflicted injury scheme only succeeded halfway before the Ancient Celestial Venerable saw through it.
He originally thought that Zhiyang would reveal the information about the death of the Supreme Celestial Venerable, and the Ancient Celestial Venerable would summon Zhiyang alone to inquire about the details.
Unexpectedly, this Ancient Celestial Venerable came directly to see General Zhiyang, and with his all-knowing wisdom, he was able to discover that the ten Origin Realm experts from Ancient Venerable City had already arrived here.
But there was no other way. If he didn't make a move, Zhiyang would probably be killed, and the Creation God Palace might be exposed under the power of the Heavenly Realm. It was better to make a move first and see if he could gain a slight advantage.
But now it seems that not only have they failed to gain the upper hand, they have also been surrounded.
Who are you?!
Ancient Celestial Venerable looked at Zhou Xingdou as he casually dispersed his magic seals, and said with a solemn expression.
At this point, Stephen Chow has no reason to hide anything anymore, and besides, he has no reason to hide anything from anyone:
"I am the Desolate Star Emperor!"
The Ancient Celestial Venerable didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Zhou Xingdou, a half-smile on his face, and said:
"Are you the fake Dao Zhong that Ling Tianzun and Zhi Tianzun suspected was from the Desolate Heavenly Dynasty?"
Stephen Chow raised an eyebrow and said with a slight smile:
"Oh? How do you know I'm faking it?"
Ancient Celestial Venerable shook his head slightly:
"I pioneered the path of the Heavenly Venerable. If there is a path to the end of the Dao, how could it be your turn?"
Zhou Xingdou didn't expect his identity as a fake Dao Zhong to fool everyone; he just looked at the incredibly confident Gu Tianzun.
"Does the Ancient Celestial Venerable overestimate himself?"
Ancient Celestial Venerable chuckled:
"Do you think that by cleverly killing the Supreme Celestial Venerable you can kill me?"
Zhou Xingdou stroked the black arm armor on his arm and said with a light laugh:
"How will we know if we don't try?"
The ancient celestial being half-raised his palm, within which a vast power condensed:
"Guess why I knew Zhiyang would be the bait, yet I still showed myself."
The arm armor on Zhou Xingdou's arm revived, its overwhelming power pressing down in all directions. He asked expressionlessly:
"Oh? Why?"
The Ancient Celestial Venerable smiled:
"Because I, the Celestial Venerable, am strong enough!"
Before he finished speaking, the smile on the Ancient Celestial Venerable's face vanished instantly, leaving only a chilling killing intent!
Wow!
A dazzling light flashed between the palms held up by the Ancient Celestial Venerable, with the power of the Heavenly Realm at its core, causing countless complex forces to condense within it, constructing a magnificent Dharma Seal.
The Dharma Seal was like a divine mountain, incredibly heavy and powerful, rushing straight towards the stars.
A glint flashed in Zhou Xingdou's eyes, which were filled with purple aura. The Ancient Celestial Venerable truly lived up to his name as the oldest. His way of using the power of the Celestial Realm was far more mature than that of the Supreme Celestial Venerable and the Spirit Celestial Venerable.
Although the core of that seal is the power of the Heavenly Realm, its outer appearance is a condensation of other complex forces. Even though Zhou Xingdou is the Punishment Heaven Dao Body, he cannot dispel the core power of the Heavenly Realm without breaking through the outer forces.
But so what?
No one can make Zhou Xingdou fear anyone until he reaches the Emperor Realm!
Faced with the overwhelming magic seal that came crashing down, Zhou Xingdou had only one punch, and that was all he could do.
With a single punch, I am the only one who can subdue heaven and earth!
If the Great Dharma Seal is a divine mountain, then Zhou Xingdou's fist is a mountain-splitting hammer, without any fancy techniques, only unparalleled power!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fist and the seal collided, as if Gonggong had angrily struck Buzhou Mountain, causing the pillar of heaven to break, making all living beings fall, and heaven and earth to shatter!
"The Ten Heavenly Kings, holding the formation, assist the Heavenly Venerable in slaying the enemy!"
When the Blade King appeared, the seven powerful beings at the Origin Realm behind him fell into the various directions of the city's protective formation. The Sea King and the Jade King also dared not delay and immediately went to their respective positions.
Before the grand formation could be activated, after a long stalemate between the fist and the seal, a long roar resounded:
"Break!"
Click! Click!
The sound of shattering rang out, and the grand Dharma seal was finally shattered by the hammer. The endless residual power roared through the heavens and earth, shaking the giant city to the point of almost being crushed!
With the Dharma Seal shattered beyond repair, the core Heavenly Realm power was about to be replenished when a bolt of Heavenly Punishment Lightning shot out from between Zhou Xingdou's brows, completely annihilating the Heavenly Realm power.
At this moment, the city-protecting formation was operating at its maximum. Ten units of initial power rushed into the formation, unleashing boundless killing intent that covered the heavens and the earth. A terrifying and unparalleled power shot out a beam of light that tore everything apart, heading straight for Zhou Xingdou's celestial spirit.
Ancient Celestial Venerable gathered his magic seals again, unleashing immense power, and once again bombarded Zhou Xingdou, locking down Zhou Xingdou's position.
