In the Yin Realm, outside the Reincarnation Palace, within the Ancient Immortal Destruction Formation, Zhong Shan unfurled the Emperor's Diagram. No matter how much Weak Water fell from the sky, it was instantly absorbed by the Emperor's Diagram.
Cold sweat appeared on Qingming Holy Emperor's forehead. An hour had passed. What kind of artifact was this? How much space was inside it, and what level of treasure was it?
This was Weak Water, a tyrannical substance that fifty-two Great Celestials had labored to transport from the Yin Realm. After an hour, even Celestial Artifacts would have been completely corroded, yet Zhong Shan's circular diagram remained unscathed.
Qingming Holy Emperor had a bad premonition, but he was already committed.
After an hour, everyone was starting to feel exhausted.
No, the diagram had to be broken.
With a wave of his hand, Qingming Holy Emperor summoned a golden longsword.
He slashed down from the sky, the sword transforming into a thousand-zhang-long golden blade, vast and mighty.
But as the blade descended, a terrifying suction force emanated from the Emperor's Diagram. Qingming Holy Emperor's hand trembled, and the golden longsword was sucked in.
Qingming Holy Emperor was shocked but not too worried. After all, this was a treasure he had refined with his mind; he could recall it with a thought.
As he focused on his treasure, the others realized the Emperor's Diagram was peculiar. If the diagram wasn't destroyed, Zhong Shan couldn't be defeated.
The powerful beings began to draw their weapons, slashing at the Emperor's Diagram. One Celestial Artifact couldn't handle it? Here were dozens of Celestial Artifacts—let's see how Zhong Shan would deal with this!
The terrifying impact targeted the Emperor's Diagram.
At this mont, Qingming Holy Emperor suddenly broke out in a sweat, his face filled with anguish, as if trapped in so tragic situation. Seeing nurous Celestial Artifacts striking towards the Emperor's Diagram, Qingming Holy Emperor's face changed drastically.
"Stop! No—!"
Qingming Holy Emperor shouted, but it was too late. The unleashed artifacts were like water spilled—there was no taking them back.
In the Yang Realm, on the peak of a massive mountain, Su Afo and Princess Nine-Tails watched in amazent. For an hour, the terrifying flood had toppled mountain after mountain, the destruction as thorough as a fall wind sweeping away leaves, leaving a vast expanse of water.
"Zhong Shan, what kind of treasure is this? It's so powerful! It can even spit out 'Weak Water'? And so much of it?" Princess Nine-Tails asked, her eyes gleaming.
"Isn't this the sa artifact that reflected Sima Qianjun's divine arrow last ti?" Su Afo recognized it imdiately.
"Yes, it seems very mysterious. How did you get it?" Princess Nine-Tails asked excitedly.
Zhong Shan was speechless. How did he get it?
"I refined it myself," Zhong Shan replied, shaking his head.
"So powerful? Can you make one for too? I'll trade you a Celestial Artifact!" Su Afo imdiately shouted.
This treasure was too miraculous. It was even grander than his Vajra Pestle.
"I can't. I can't make a second one. It was a matter of chance," Zhong Shan said, shaking his head.
Su Afo was still unwilling to give up. After thinking for a while, he made a decision.
"I'll trade you two Celestial Artifacts!"
"Three?"
Zhong Shan still shook his head.
"Four?"
"Five, that's my bottom line. Don't be too greedy!" Su Afo shouted.
"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"
With a deafening roar, a beam of golden light suddenly shot out from the imperial scroll in Zhong Shan's hand. The light pierced a nearby mountain peak, causing it to explode, and a colossal golden sword, thousands of feet long, firmly embedded itself into the ground.
Staring at the radiant sword, Su Afo's words caught in his throat, his eyes widening as he fixated on the gleaming weapon.
"A supre artifact?" The Nine-Tailed Princess exclaid in astonishnt.
What was this? Both of them displayed puzzled expressions. What kind of treasure was this? It spewed weak water, which was already astonishing, but now it could also produce supre artifacts? Was this even real?
They rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
A treasure that could emit supre artifacts? Did such a thing exist in the world?
Su Afo, stunned, looked at Zhong Shan and said, "Five supre artifacts, and you're not even greedy!"
While Su Afo and the Nine-Tailed Princess were still in shock, another burst of multicolored light accompanied by a surge of water erupted from the weak water.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
The mountain peak fell silent, save for the sound of rushing water.
"Princess, did I just see what I think I saw? Hit to check!" Su Afo muttered numbly.
"Smack!" The Nine-Tailed Princess slapped him hard, sending him flying.
"It's real, this isn't a dream. Zhong Shan, you've struck gold. Is this so kind of treasure basin? It can produce supre artifacts in quantity? It just spat out twenty-six supre artifacts. You'll never have to worry about anything again!" The Nine-Tailed Princess shouted joyfully.
The people in the living realm were elated, while those opposing Zhong Shan in the netherworld could only feel utter despair, as if they were about to vomit blood from frustration.
What was that round diagram? A bottomless pit?
Everyone sensed their heart-bound treasures being sucked in, losing all connection to them. How could this be?
How could they continue to fight?
The Ancient Immortal Tian Yan Formation? It was now a joke.
With the protection of the imperial scroll, what was there to fear? Zhong Shan coldly surveyed his surroundings. Fifty-two supre immortals? Fifty-two supre immortals had co to kill him, and Zhong Shan wouldn't let it slide. Since they had co, none of them would leave.
However, capturing them wouldn't be easy.
Seal them? Like how he sealed Luo Xingchen? Such a seal seed unbearable for these supre immortals. Once they entered the cycle of reincarnation, they would be ground into dust.
Dust it would be!
Zhong Shan's eyes glinted green, a vast, intimidating aura subtly perating the hearts of all the powerful beings present.
At this mont, they all realized they had made a grave mistake. Zhong Shan was not the weakling the Azure Emperor had described; on the contrary, he was imnsely powerful.
They had kicked a steel plate. As Zhong Shan's eyes turned green, waves of soul-stirring terror surged into their minds.
Escape? How? Once this great formation was deployed, there was no escaping. Unless they all withdrew their power simultaneously, any one person trying to escape would bear the brunt of the power of the other fifty-one supre immortals, leaving them gravely injured or worse.
Each powerful being was on the verge of tears. How had they ended up so unlucky?
All they could do was continuously use the weak water to try and wear down Zhong Shan. What else could they do? Inside this celestial well formation, even ancient immortals couldn't use their spells. Without ancient immortal artifacts, they would be worn down by the weak water and the supre artifacts sooner or later.
But now? Supre artifacts? All taken by Zhong Shan, and the weak water was completely ineffective. How could they possibly fight now? If they didn't act, should they just wait for Zhong Shan to make his move?
"I refuse to believe this round diagram is a bottomless pit. We'll exhaust him to death if we have to. If Zhong Shan doesn't die today, then tomorrow it will be your deaths!" the Azure Emperor shouted.
Helplessly, everyone continued with what seed to be an utterly futile and tragic endeavor.
"Boom～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"
A thunderous roar erupted from the direction of the Wheel Palace, and a column of black energy shot into the sky, plunging the already darkened sky into complete gloom. A massive surge of malevolent energy burst forth, crashing towards the 'Ancient Immortal Tian Yan Formation,' shattering it instantly.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
The great formation shattered with a trendous crash, and all the powerful beings within were severely injured, knocked to the ground by the black energy and coughing up blood.
As they erged from the shattered formation, their first instinct was to flee as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, just as they took to the air, a trendous pressure bore down upon them.
The powerful pressure forced them back to the ground, and they looked on in horror at the towering black energy pillar in the distance.
"Roar～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!"
A deafening roar ca from the direction of the Wheel Palace, shaking the heavens. The surrounding space seed to tremble slightly, leaving the supre immortals agape in shock. What kind of monster was this?
A roar that could shake space?
Zhong Shan retrieved the Emperor's Scroll, looking astonished towards the distance. This aura was as powerful as the 'Ghost Car' in the living realm. Had a sealed fiend been released?
Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from the Wheel Palace.
"Boom!"
The shadow landed on a patch of empty ground—it was Clay Bodhisattva, clutching his chest with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Who was this person?
"Clay Bodhisattva, are you alright?" Zhong Shan asked.
"He's too strong. I was injured by the residual force!" Clay Bodhisattva said, clearly shaken.
In the distance.
"Who is that? Who's coming from the direction of the Wheel Palace?" the Azure Emperor frowned and shouted.
"Is the seal broken? Has he broken the seal?" another emperor exclaid in shock.
"Who is he? Do you know?" the Azure Emperor imdiately asked.
"He...!" The person bit their lip, seemingly afraid to speak.
"Speak! At this point, what's there to hide?" the Azure Emperor urged impatiently.
"He's called Guo Shifu, a forr high-ranking official of the Zhou Dynasty!" the person said with a mix of fear and uncertainty.
"Zhou Dynasty? The Great Zhou's King Zhou You?" the Azure Emperor's eyes widened.
"I read about it in an ancient text. It's said that when Guo Shifu was sealed, he swore an oath that when he broke free, he would bathe the Wheel Realm in blood, leaving nothing alive, not even a blade of grass, and slaughtering billions to vent his anger!" the person explained.
Bathe the Wheel Realm in blood? Leave nothing alive, not even a blade of grass? Slaughter billions to vent his anger?
Almost all the powerful beings were stunned by these words. Guo Shifu? A fiend released from his seal?
At the Wheel Palace, the powerful malevolent energy surged into the sky, enveloping a vast area with an overwhelming pressure.
Far away in Changjing, Luo Xingchen was admiring the flowers with Chen Xiaoqian when he suddenly frowned and looked towards the direction of the Wheel Palace.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Chen Xiaoqian asked in confusion.
"Wait for at ho!" Luo Xingchen said, disappearing in an instant.
In another palace in Changjing, Wang Ku was lecturing a group of skeletons when he suddenly fell silent and vanished from the spot.
