Suddenly, countless illusory images of divine beasts appeared around Tianyin's animal hide robes, and the ancient bow behind him burst forth with boundless starlight, unleashing terrifying Dao Tribulation Emperor power to its extreme.
Above his head, three halos of light condensed: one filled with raging fire, one with tangible wind flowing around, and one with radiating lightning. This was the symbol of a great emperor who had survived three tribulations!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
With a series of buzzing sounds, that extremely mysterious, domineering, and destructive power, filled with a destructive will that surpassed all others, finally could not withstand the power of the Dao Tribulation Emperor standing at the pinnacle of the Great Emperor, and dissipated abruptly as if its power had been exhausted.
Master Wei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and came to Tian Yin's side, asking:
"Has it been suppressed?"
Tianyin shook his head:
"It wasn't suppression. Even I couldn't suppress this power. I used the power of the Dao Tribulation Emperor to counteract it, letting it annihilate my power and exhaust this power."
After saying that, Tianyin withdrew the strange phenomena around him and absorbed the terrifying power of the Dao Tribulation Emperor back into his body.
Boom!
However, without the support of the Dao Tribulation Emperor's power, the Star Palace collapsed in an instant!
Uncontainable, boundless divine light erupted from the collapsing Star Palace. Amidst the dust and smoke of the collapsed Star Palace, a black figure emerged, seated atop a platform formed of black lightning, surrounded by the very power that everyone was desperately trying to stop.
"Nine Transformations of a Quasi-Emperor!"
Yu Chi Li walked over from a distance, clutching his chest, his eyes still glistening with blood. He exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Zhou Xing Dou, who was sitting on the Thunder Platform.
Zhou Xingdou slowly opened his eyes. The purple aura that had filled his eyes had disappeared, and his silver eyes were now filled with black lightning that was extremely destructive, like an abyss that would swallow up the person he was looking at.
His once priceless purple cloud robe has now turned into an inky black. Under the influence of that mysterious, domineering, and destructive power, he exudes an indescribable and contradictory divine and demonic aura.
Now he has fully integrated all his supernatural powers and has forged his own path.
His Great Dao Golden Core has been condensed, and he has reached the ninth level of the Dao Realm!
With the help of boundless spiritual power and the Dao Realm, his Primordial System not only rebuilt to the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, but also advanced in tandem with the Dao Realm, stepping into the peak of Quasi-Emperor!
The power of fusion of cultivation methods has no name, or perhaps it is not a cultivation method at all, but the Dao!
Zhou Xingdou named it the Punishment Scripture. Its mysterious, domineering, and unparalleled power is the unique power that Zhou Xingdou possessed after he embarked on his own path.
His way is punishment!
He called this force punishment!
"With the overwhelming support of the people and the prevailing trend, should we punish them?"
"He said: Yes!"
"The justice of Heaven is clear and just; shall it be punished?"
"He said: Yes!"
"If the great way prospers, should it be punished?"
"He said: Yes!"
Stephen Chow parted his lips slightly, and his boundless imperial voice resounded throughout heaven and earth:
"I am the divine punishment! I am the great calamity!"
Clang!
Just as Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, the sound of clashing swords echoed through the sky, the sun and moon dimmed, and the heavens wept blood!
A beam of celestial light suddenly opened in the sky, with the celestial wheel and eight trigrams rotating on it. The merciless will of Heaven descended upon the world, yet it soothed the weeping of the heavens and the darkness of the sun and moon.
Tianjizi's boundless immortal voice resounded throughout the Starry Sky Alliance:
"You cannot become the Heavenly Punishment, nor can you become the Great Calamity. I am the Heavenly Dao, here to rid all beings of this calamity. In a month or so... I will eliminate this great scourge!"
Having said that, the celestial light seemed to have made up its mind, and vanished in an instant.
Zhou Xingdou stared at the spot where the celestial light and Heavenly Eye had dissipated. A black lightning flashed in his silver-white eyes, which were filled with the deepest destructive power, as if he were talking to himself, or perhaps responding:
"I await your death!"
After saying this, Zhou Xingdou's expression changed, becoming calm and indifferent as he addressed the crowd:
"You've all worked hard. I'm fine now. Go and rest."
He absorbed too much spiritual and medicinal power, and it was a double breakthrough. The punishment power burst out at the moment of the breakthrough, causing such a sensation.
Everyone present was shrewd enough to see that Zhou Xingdou didn't want to explain further. However, Master Wei glanced at the now-ruined Xingdou Palace with a pained expression.
"It's good that the young master is alright, but the Star Palace... it's probably ruined..."
Even within the entire Primordial Era, the Star Palace is one of the most prestigious palaces.
But after Zhou Xingdou's day and night of strenuous efforts to expel the toxins, and after being impacted by various forces today, it is ultimately ruined and not even worth repairing.
Only then did Zhou Xingdou realize that Xingdou Palace had been reduced to ruins, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
After all, this is where I grew up, and now it's been destroyed. It's impossible not to feel a little regret.
Compared to the fact that the breakthrough was successful and didn't affect other parts of the Star Alliance, it was already worthwhile.
After all, the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Stars were nearby. If the punitive force had been allowed to erupt at that time, most of the people in the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Stars would have been in mortal danger.
Zhou Xingdou exhaled a long breath, and the black lightning platform beneath him dissipated. He slowly said:
"It's alright. I have a palace, but it's still missing some things. You don't need to build the Star Palace."
He still possesses a Creation Palace, but he acquired it too recently and had been in the Four Heavens Sacred Domain for a long time, so he had no time to collect the Heavenly Fate Slaves used to guard the palace and was unable to unleash its true divine power.
Now that he has destroyed the Star Palace, he needs to quickly replenish his Creation Palace.
Since Zhou Xingdou had already said so, Master Wei also gave up the idea of asking the Divine Refining Ancestor to help build another Star Palace, and he and Tianyin and the others were about to take their leave.
But then Stephen Chow called them back and suddenly said:
"Notify the members of the Starry Sky Alliance that I have returned and will meet with them at the alliance headquarters tomorrow!"
The eight patriarchs already know about his return, so there's no point in hiding it anymore. Besides, the Star Alliance crisis is less than a month away, and he might show up to reassure everyone.
"yes!"
Master Wei's face lit up with joy, and he immediately agreed.
Not long after the eight patriarchs left that day, the heads of the eight holy halls basically knew about this matter and had been chasing Yuan Tian every day to see Zhou Xingdou, which is why Yuan Tian did not show up today.
It couldn't be better if Stephen Chow took the initiative to offer it now.
Zhou Xingdou nodded slightly. Now that Tianjizi's fangs have been revealed, he was afraid that his path had completely angered the Heavenly Dao.
I just don't know why Tianjizi chose a month later. Is there something special about that day a month later?
Zhou Xingdou was also unaware of this, but he knew that the Xingtian Alliance alone could not withstand this crisis, and he needed to find some outside help.
Moreover, Master and Hanyi don't know if they've received news of my return, or when I'll be able to come back.
He couldn't rest easy until he saw Tian Jiu'er and Han Yi, and he only wished that they could return soon.
Moreover, with Tian Jiu'er in charge, I feel more at ease going out to seek help.
