"Bastard! Bastard!"
Somewhere in the Northern Land, Kunpeng stood before the earth treasure mirror, his expression shifting uncertainly, his mood incomparably complex and indescribable. In the end, his face twisted extremely as he roared and cursed frantically, though it was hard to say clearly who he was actually cursing.
At this moment, if one looked at the earth treasure mirror, it could be seen that because of the effect of Hongyun casting the Great Space-Time Karma and Fate Restriction Technique to suppress and seal all space-time, coupled with Zhen Yuanzi using the Book of Earth to deploy the Xiantian Wutu Earth Forbidden Formation, the entire battlefield was already in a concealed state intertwined with Formations and Restrictions, and the changes in the internal battle situation could no longer be clearly seen.
Ordinary living beings and Cultivators in the Great Wilderness seeing this situation would not have other thoughts, only thinking it was a normal spell battle, and they were even watching with great relish and discussing animatedly!
But top experts between heaven and earth like Kunpeng, supreme Great Divine Beings in the Great Wilderness, although they did not personally visit the battlefield, were unable to know the specific situation within the battlefield.
Yet the abnormal actions and changes of Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi allowed these people to already perceive the unusual nature within.
These people were well aware of Hongyun's formidable strength, understanding that even though Jieyin and Zhunti possessed brilliant Divine Abilities and extraordinary strength, being Early Quasi-Saints just like Hongyun, they seemed evenly matched.
However, Hongyun alone could also suppress the two of them, and subduing both was not an impossible matter, not to mention that there was also the strong cooperation of Zhen Yuanzi within it.
Therefore, to reiterate, this great battle from the very beginning inherently did not have much dispute or suspense; Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi could easily win, while Jieyin and Zhunti would find it hard to preserve their lives, facing the danger of perishing.
Moreover, judging from the previous situation, this was indeed the case.
Yet unexpectedly, in a flash, when the overall situation was about to be settled, both Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi suddenly acted out of character to unleash major ultimate moves, looking like they were risking everything. This was extremely bizarre and deviated from the norm.
Especially when Zhen Yuanzi directly deployed the Xiantian Wutu Earth Forbidden Formation—which possessed strong Moral Virtue kidnapping attributes to both sides of the enemy and ally, and upon seeing this Formation, all living beings understood the taboos within—it deviated even further from the norm. Essentially, all top experts of heaven and earth in the Great Wilderness and various Great Divine Beings between heaven and earth could understand what this truly meant.
That person in Purple Heaven Palace seemed to have truly acted once again regarding the matter between Hongyun, Jieyin, and Zhunti.
...
"Big Brother! Th... That person truly acted again? This is simply too..."
In the Heavenly Court, Donghuang Taiyi, who was staring fixedly at the sky-observing treasure mirror, gradually came back to his senses, for a moment not knowing what to say.
Although they had thought that person would act, before this it was ultimately only their guesses and reveries.
When guesses and reveries truly turned into reality, it was indeed very difficult to accept for a moment.
Even within Donghuang Taiyi's heart, a trace of inexplicable unwillingness and anger faintly sprouted and emerged because of this.
This kind of inexplicable unwillingness and anger had nothing to do with Hongyun, nor did it have a specific target; rather, it was an unspeakable, complex emotion naturally produced by the innate proud instinct of an Innate Gods and Demons.
At this time, Di Jun's heart also seemed to have more or less such inexplicable complex emotions sprouting as he slowly stood up from the Heavenly Emperor's throne and walked down: "Looking at the current situation, that person should have acted, only..."
As Di Jun spoke, he also did not know what else to say.
"Let's watch the subsequent developments first and see how Hongyun handles this matter. If he..." Di Jun's voice grew lower and lower, making it very hard to hear clearly what he was actually saying.
...
"Big Brother, it seems Hongjun has acted. Let us go right now to boost Hongyun's momentum and meet that Hongjun!"
Inside Pangu Hall, Zhurong and Gonggong, the two most bellicose ancestral witches among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, had their Battle Intent rolling like ocean waves as they said loudly to Dijiang.
The remaining impulsive and bellicose ancestral witches also began to clamor loudly along with them.
"No need to rush! The current situation is unclear; going there now is meaningless. We still need to watch further." Dijiang shook his head, stopping those bellicose ancestral witches.
"Big Brother, if Hongjun truly acted and we forcefully insert ourselves into it, if things go badly, won't it leave Fellow Daoist Hongyun in an awkward position and thoroughly offend him?" Houtu, who hadn't spoken much all along, hesitated for a moment before speaking up to ask.
"I know, Little Sister, that you have some favorable impression of Hongyun, and that Father God Pangu's physical body within your body was also obtained because of him. Our Wu Clan can be considered to owe him, Hongyun, a favor, but what we are about to do next is closely tied to the development of the Wu Clan. Little Sister, you must not act too rashly out of personal sentiment." Dijiang said to Houtu gently yet sternly.
Hearing this, Houtu nodded silently and stopped talking, only quietly looking at the earth treasure before her, watching the development of matters on Hongyun's side.
...
Near Fire Cloud Cave, at the place where Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi fought Jieyin and Zhunti, the Great Space-Time Karma and Fate Restriction Technique cast by Hongyun, which suppressed and sealed all space-time, suddenly dissipated.
The Xiantian Wutu Earth Forbidden Formation deployed by Zhen Yuanzi with the Book of Earth also dispersed accordingly, and the Book of Earth broke away from the profound state of Fusion with the Primordial Land, returning to Zhen Yuanzi's hands.
At this moment, neither of them had any injuries on their bodies, nor was there any floating or unstable aura. There were completely no signs of massive consumption on various levels, but their complexions appeared extremely unsightly, looking as if they had suffered a great disaster.
Looking at the battlefield again, everything had returned to normal, but Jieyin, Zhunti...
"The people are gone! Jieyin and Zhunti are actually gone! Th... This..."
All the watching living beings and Cultivators were dumbfounded, and the many supreme experts and various Great Divine Beings between heaven and earth found it even more incredible, widening their eyes.
For a time, the entire Great Wilderness was terrifyingly quiet!
"The Saint is actually terrifying to this extent! To be able to quietly and without showing off, leaving people completely powerless to resist and rendering all methods into futility, whisk people away—is this the strength of a Saint?" Donghuang Taiyi looked at the sky-observing treasure mirror, speaking some words powerlessly.
Di Jun at the side remained silent, merely taking a glance at Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, whose complexions were gloomy, ugly, and silent at this moment. He then looked at the vast Heavenly Court and the hundreds of millions of elite Demon Race grand armies within the Heavenly Court, a trace of inexplicable bitterness faintly revealing itself on his face.
How powerful Hongyun's Great Space-Time Karma and Fate Restriction Technique was, Di Jun did not know, but Hongyun's formidable strength was definitely peerless among peers in the Great Wilderness.
As for the Xiantian Wutu Earth Forbidden Formation deployed by Zhen Yuanzi with the Book of Earth, although Di Jun had not experienced it himself, the strong Moral Virtue kidnapping attributes contained within it could be understood by all living beings, showing how formidable it was.
Under such circumstances, Hongjun could still silently and without any commotion rescue Jieyin and Zhunti away. That could only prove that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, this Saint, was terrifyingly strong; everything else became unimportant and even meaningless.
"Hongyun..."
Di Jun looked for a long while at the very silent Hongyun within the sky-observing treasure mirror. Amidst shifting expressions, a low self-talking voice suddenly rang out slowly.
