On this day.
Above the center of the Star Alliance, Zhou Xingdou sat on his throne. Below him, the Star Array and thousands of interlocking top-tier killing arrays had been revived to their fullest potential, and overwhelming killing intent enveloped the entire world.
The eight patriarchs stood tall in the void at the entrance of the Star Alliance, upright like pillars supporting the sky.
Behind them, the elites of the eight holy halls were all out in force. These elites were all wearing armor corresponding to their cultivation level, arming themselves to the teeth. They were divided into military formations, and the murderous aura was almost solidified.
Beside Zhou Xingdou, the four servants of the Zhou family, Fahai and Yuan Tian, and Princess Iron Fan, who was at the peak of her beauty, stood guard by his side. For the first time, her two green-edged immortal swords revealed the aura that immortal blades should have, as if they could pierce the sky.
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King sits atop auspicious clouds, holding a pagoda in his hands, commanding the central army.
Today, he is the greatest commander besides Zhou Xingdou, commanding all the forces of the Star Alliance.
No one objected to this, not even the Eight Great Patriarchs, because this Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had, in just ten days, transformed the elite forces of the Eight Great Temples, who had fought separately, into an army!
The Giant Spirit God also returned to the command of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, slowly stroking the Xuanhua Axe in his hand.
Stephen Chow tapped his fingers incessantly on the armrest of the throne, seemingly trying to mask his excitement and unease.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Today is the day of the decisive battle that Tianjizi spoke of.
Zhou Xingdou and the entire Starry Sky Alliance had been preparing for this day for a month, just waiting for it to arrive.
Perhaps Stephen Chow felt he was fully prepared, but when the day actually arrived, he found it difficult to have blind confidence.
His gaze remained fixed on the still dimly lit world, as if trying to find a trace of light through the endless darkness and confusion.
Time ticked by, and finally, the long-awaited ray of sunlight pierced the dark sky like a sharp sword.
However, it seemed to be a cloudy day. The sky was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds. The sun struggled to rise from the east, casting down a few sparse rays of light, but there were more layers of dark, heavy clouds.
At first, no one realized that there was anything unusual about these clouds; they were just ordinary dark clouds.
It wasn't until the rolling dark clouds pressed in from the horizon that everyone realized what those so-called "dark clouds" were.
It was a massive, densely packed warship that blotted out the sky!
At this moment, everyone in the Star Alliance felt a jolt in their hearts.
Those enormous warships, majestic and magnificent like towering mountains, stretched endlessly from end to end, like a boundless black tide, swallowing everything in sight.
Even though they were far apart, the immense pressure from this scene was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.
Thump! Thump! Thump.....
The thunderous sound of war drums echoed throughout the Starry Sky Alliance.
At this moment, the eight patriarchs unleashed their radiant light, and the aura of the Three Tribulations Emperor suppressed the world.
Tianyin drew the divine bow from his back, his sharp intent at the pinnacle of imperial power soaring into the sky.
As Master Wei took a step forward, his Confucian and Taoist imperial heart was instantly revived, and he entered the state of a Confucian and Taoist sage emperor, with overwhelming Confucian intent sweeping across the world.
Yu Chi Li calculated the rune model to its limit, flicked his five fingers, and held up the array plate with one hand. The array plate reflected the thousands of arrays of the Star Heaven Alliance, causing the arrays that had reached their limit of revival to resonate in unison.
Chen Nong tightened his grip on the hoe, while Fahai discarded his cassock, revealing his robust physique, which connected with the rising Daoist energy of Yuan Qi.
Little Drill Wind vigorously waved the Starry Sky Alliance flag in his hand, moving among the various military formations.
Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, also focused his tiger-like eyes and raised his spirits to the extreme.
At this moment, the massive, dark warship slowly came to a stop ten miles away from the Star Alliance.
Then, a swarm of cultivators flew out from among them, forming a square formation as vast as the sea, seemingly waiting for something.
Zhou Xingdou clenched his fist. Not only him, but all the people with exceptional eyesight present widened their eyes in surprise.
Because within that sea of cultivators, the aura of Quasi-Emperors alone reached several hundred, and that of Supremes numbered in the thousands!
The sacred realms below are countless, like carp crossing a river.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of halos of light, symbolizing the tribulations of the Dao, illuminated the dark mass of people at this moment, and emerging from them was a majestic immortal figure with celestial light like a waterfall.
Ten li is not even a distance in the eyes of a sage, let alone Tianjizi.
But Tianjizi seemed unhurried. His majestic immortal figure pierced through numerous obstacles, looking at Zhou Xingdou, and his merciless immortal voice resounded in the ears of everyone in this world:
"Stephen Chow, I never thought you would be so stubborn and unrepentant."
Suppressing his shock, Zhou Xingdou rose from his throne, his expression utterly indifferent, devoid of joy or sorrow.
"It is you who are stubbornly clinging to your delusions, not me."
"Tianjizi, you're too attached to appearances."
Even so, there's no point in saying more.
Now that things have come to this point, both sides know there is no turning back, yet Heaven reveals a compassionate and merciful side:
"Because of your one wrong thought, countless people who should not die will perish today because of you."
At this moment, a scholar holding a folding fan took the first step forward beside Tianjizi. Instantly, nearly half of the emperors under the hundreds of halos of light beside Tianjizi took the same step as this scholar.
Dozens of emperors!
Among them are many Great Emperors who have survived two tribulations!
These great emperors, who were rarely seen even once in the first hundred years of the Yuan Dynasty, have now gathered in one place, all for the same enemy. This is something that the world finds hard to believe.
Stephen Chow's expression also turned somewhat gloomy.
With the withdrawal of the Sun Holy Land, the Moon Holy Land, and the Taixu Temple, why does Tianjizi still possess so much power?
More than a hundred Great Emperors, hundreds of Quasi-Emperors, thousands of Supreme Beings, and Saints like locusts.
This lineup is enough to easily destroy any of the current immortals in the Primordial Era!
Is this the great trend that Tianjizi spoke of?
Zhou Xingdou dared not imagine how powerful Tianjizi would be today if his father hadn't used him to intimidate the Taixu Temple and the Taiyin and Taiyang Holy Lands.
The scholar holding the folding fan was followed by dozens of Great Emperors and nearly a hundred Quasi-Emperors, who descended before the Star Alliance formation with a surging pressure that shook the heavens and earth.
But he did not act immediately; instead, he suddenly unfolded his folding fan and slowly said:
"I am Gan Mengdao, the head of the Gan family. I surrender and pledge allegiance to the Gan family now, and I will be spared the death penalty!"
The eight patriarchs had cold expressions. In the past, they would probably have already charged into the fray, but now, without the order of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, they could only clench their fists and coldly watch Gan Mengdao swagger around.
However, the imposing presence of dozens of Great Emperors and nearly a hundred Quasi-Emperors caused some people in the Eight Great Holy Halls to waver!
At this moment, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who was stationed in the central army, suddenly turned cold, and his majestic voice resounded throughout the three armies:
"Those who disobey military orders, desert before battle, or are cowardly in battle, shall have their true spirits shattered!"
Ultimately, the army, trained by the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, managed to stabilize its formation with a single word, and no one fled.
But King Li Jing understood even better that these people were not the heavenly soldiers they once were, and simple military orders could not completely stabilize their morale.
