A magnificent figure soared into the sky, radiating light. When the light faded, it revealed a sharp, angular middle-aged face, dressed in a snow-white robe with gold patterns similar to those of the Holy Mother of the Universe, only this robe exuded even greater nobility.
His aura was extremely powerful, seemingly encompassing the entire universe. Just by standing there, he exuded the aura of a superior who commanded respect without anger, inspiring fear in others.
Du Buhui's mind, which had been bewitched by Zhou Xingdou, was instantly awakened by this loud shout. Her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhou Xingdou with even greater fear.
Zhou Xing's terrifying strength is far less frightening than his mind-controlling abilities.
At this moment, in Du Buhui's eyes, Zhou Xingdou's figure overlapped with that of a demon, even more ferocious than a demon. Even though the bewitchment had been completely removed, Du Buhui still felt endless regret. Why did he have to provoke such a terrifying existence?
He was not on the same level as Zhou Xingdou at all; he was just a plaything being manipulated. If the Holy Lord of the Universe had not appeared in time, he would probably have been devoured by Zhou Xingdou without leaving a trace.
The Holy Lord of the Universe glanced at Du Buhui with eyes as sharp as knives, then looked at Zhou Xingdou again:
"Zhou Zunzi, you've gone too far! It wasn't enough that you bewitched my son; you've gone so far as to slander him in front of tens of thousands of cultivators in the Universal Holy Land, claiming he was possessed. This is simply outrageous!"
The appearance of the Holy Lord of the Universe brought Du Buhui to her senses. It would be impossible for Zhou Xingdou not to be displeased at all, since the opportunity to save Wan Tianzhou's soul was right in front of him, but now it had all been wasted.
This caused a surge of purple energy in Zhou Xingdou's eyes, and his supreme and noble aura involuntarily emanated from him:
“Lord of the Universe, you wouldn’t have dared to speak to me like this back then.”
"Zhou Zunzi, you flatter me. Have I perhaps done anything disrespectful?"
The Holy Lord of the Universe spoke indifferently, his aura reaching its peak, causing the winds of the void to howl from heaven and earth, pressing down on Zhou Xingdou.
Zhou Xingdou's black hair was blown wildly by the wind, but he still stood still. A mighty heavenly power surged from the lines between his eyebrows, like a sharp blade that split the heavens and the earth, cutting through the wind in the void.
Are you angry?
No need. Because a hoarse, deep, ethereal voice had already resounded behind the Holy Lord of the Universe:
"How dare you be so high and mighty before the esteemed son of the Zhou family!"
In an instant, heaven and earth were astonished, the sun and moon shone together, and countless stars lit up the clear sky. The light of millions of stars transformed into star pillars, echoing the 108 ancient stars formed by the star ghost.
Commander Xingyou had appeared behind the magnificent figure of the Universal Saint Lord at some unknown time, holding a Star River Blade upside down. As the ancient stars resonated with him, the star surface and the Star River Blade erupted with a power that could shake the entire universe.
He slashed down with a single stroke.
The void wailed, space shattered, and countless ripples splashed across the great array of the Holy Land of the Universe. For a moment, the heavens and earth shook, the sun and moon dimmed, as if the world were collapsing!
The Holy Lord of the Universe was completely unaware that someone was behind him, and Commander Xingyou's movements were too swift. He never imagined that someone would attack him so quickly.
His attention was also drawn to Chen Nong on the giant chariot; he hadn't even been aware of the presence of Commander Xingyou from beginning to end.
This strike also sealed off the location where the Holy Lord of the Universe could teleport. Even if he reacts now, it's too late to dodge!
The blade cleaved through the universe, tearing apart the noble, snow-white robe embroidered with gold. Precious blood flew across the heavens and earth, and the glorious aura was shattered by the power of the stars.
Bang!
The Holy Lord of the Universe, shimmering with light, fell like a shooting star, crashing down in front of Zhou Xingdou.
Fortunately, the core immortal mountain of the Universal Holy Land has been refined countless times over countless years, making it incredibly sturdy. If the power of the Universal Holy Lord's attack were outside, it would likely shatter the entire mountain range.
However, on this sacred mountain, only a crater several feet deep was created and some cracks appeared; the sacred mountain did not collapse.
Chen Nong jumped down from the giant star chariot, dispersing the residual shockwave that was rushing towards Zhou Xingdou with a wave of his hand. He stood in front of Zhou Xingdou, looked at the dust rising, and sneered:
"It's laughable that a mere Creation Venerable dares to be so presumptuous towards the young master in front of You."
As he said this, Chen Nong forgot that he was not even as good as the Creator Venerable, and had not even stepped into the Dao Venerable realm, only being considered a half-step Dao Venerable.
This was Zhou Xingdou's first time seeing Commander Xingyou, who had made his move.
Upon hearing Chen Nong's words, Zhou Xingdou realized that this Universal Saint Lord was actually the Creator.
Creation Venerable, the most supreme being, controls the laws of creation and was almost at the pinnacle of existence in the primordial era, yet he was cut down by You with a single strike. The power of Xing You, the leader, far exceeded Zhou Xingdou's imagination.
Du Buhui was protected by fate and was not far from Zhou Xingdou. He was also protected by Chen Nong. However, before he could rejoice for long, he saw Zhou Xingdou walking towards him.
The Holy Lord of the Universe, his face contorted, crawled out of the pit. The contortion on his face was not from pain, but from anger.
For so many years, he had been in seclusion, only to be cut down with a single blow upon emerging from seclusion, right before the eyes of countless disciples of the Holy Land and even his own son. Such a disgrace was an utter humiliation for a Holy Lord who controlled the Holy Land!
But seeing Zhou Xingdou walk towards Du Buhui, he gave a sharp, cold shout:
"Left and Right Protectors, guard the Holy Son!"
Before he finished speaking, two powerful auras emerged from the void. One of them wore a golden robe, and the other wore a white robe. Their auras were different from the glorious light of the Holy Lord of the Universe. Instead, they were strange and unpredictable!
Chen Nong smiled as he looked at the two men, then swung his hoe and gripped it with both hands, saying excitedly:
"Good heavens, these two Dao Venerables, the Holy Land of the Universe has quite the foundation!"
However, the appearance of the two Dao Venerables did not stop Zhou Xingdou's steps; he continued to walk towards Du Buhui at a leisurely pace.
Seeing Zhou Xingdou approach Du Buhui, the left and right guardians of the Holy Land of the Universe no longer hesitated, ignored Chen Nong, and rushed towards Zhou Xingdou.
After all, in their eyes, Chen Nong was just a half-step Dao Venerable, how could he possibly stop two real Dao Venerables?
But at that very moment, the hoe in Chen Nong's hand erupted with incredibly terrifying life essence, slamming it hard into the ground.
The two guardians froze, their bodies instantly entangled by two vines. The vines exerted a heaven-capturing force, making it impossible for them to break free for the time being.
Looking in the direction of the vines, one would discover that a towering vine would soon appear beside Chen Nong, reaching the sky and rooted in the immortal mountain. The vines that were entwining the two of them were extending from this towering vine.
"You bastard, you look down on me. Although I am not good at fighting and my cultivation is not high, it does not mean that I am weak."
Chen Nong was furious at the left and right protectors for ignoring him. He pointed two fingers at them and said contemptuously:
"I've killed nearly a hundred Dao Venerables like you in the outer realms!"
Chen Nong wasn't bragging; those who could serve the Zhou family were certainly not weak.
He was able to guard those peerless spiritual plants in the Zhou family. If he didn't have abilities far surpassing those of others in the same realm, he would have been devoured by those spiritual plants long ago, leaving not even a trace!
