From the beginning of this battle to its end, the wisdom and schemes of the Wu clan were evident, instilling fear.
Henceforth, no one would mock the Wu clan as mere barbarians, incapable of cunning.
Zhu Rong and Gong Gong swung their fists, summoning the Southern Blazing Fire and the Nine Heavens’ Kan Water. Though water and fire were diametrically opposed, their clash produced even more terrifying destructive power!
Xi Zi and Qiang Liang joined forces, their divine lightning and electricity merging into the Great Dao of Thunder and Lightning. Thunder rumbled, lightning flashed, and the oppressive pressure of great fear swept through the land.
Xuan Ming summoned rain, each drop an extreme cold Xuan Ice. Ru Shou punched with an iron-clad defense, freezing bodies with extreme cold and shattering them with martial prowess. She Bi Shi unleashed countless炼尸 (lian shi - refined corpses), even charging forward personally with his own body.
The remaining five Ancestral Wu merely suppressed one side, not only to stabilize the heavens and earth but also to prevent Qing Ling from escaping!
Qing Ling extended his hand and unfurled an umbrella. Azure lotuses bloomed like a sea, enveloping his person.
Zhu Rong sneered, engulfing all the azure lotuses with a wave of fire, intent on incinerating them.
Instantly, hundreds of azure lotuses turned into firelight and burned. The attacks of five Ancestral Wu converged upon him.
"Boom~"
The Azure Jade Umbrella spun, directly blocking the combined assault of the five Ancestral Wu.
However, the azure jade glow on the umbrella was gradually dimming, clearly indicating it could not hold for long.
After all, six Ancestral Wu were attacking together. These were not the ordinary Grand Unity Ancestral Wu of the past, nor the Ancestral Wu of great heavenly power. Each of them was comparable to a peak expert, with Zhu Rong and Gong Gong even rivaling those at the thirty-third heaven.
Even with their strength not at its peak, Qing Ling could not withstand this for long.
After all, the rate of progress for an ancient mighty being like Qing Ling could never match that of these protagonists of heavenly tribulations.
If this continued, he would truly be besieged and killed by eleven Ancestral Wu.
Qing Ling flicked his finger, expanding the range of the Azure Jade Umbrella to protect a radius of ten thousand li centered on him. Then, with his hands behind his back, he closed his eyes in meditation, seemingly unconcerned by the eleven Ancestral Wu.
In the Heavenly Court, the Great Demon Saints watched in stunned silence. If this continued, the Demon Ancestor would perish!
The Divine General Ying Zhao anxiously exclaimed, "We shall go to the Sun Star and beg His Majesty and His Highness the Eastern Emperor to intervene!"
The Demon Master Kun Peng slowly replied, "The Heavenly Emperor and the Eastern Emperor are already heavily injured and incapable of battle. Moreover, it was the Demon Ancestor who sent away the four Emperors. Rest assured, and watch quietly.
If the Demon Ancestor were truly in danger, would this old bone stand by and watch him fall?"
Upon hearing the Demon Master's words, the demon saints and divine generals of the Heavenly Court fell silent and were put at ease.
However, Kun Peng also mused inwardly, being besieged by eleven Ancestral Wu, even if he had a contingency plan, he should have used it long ago to avoid being trapped to death.
Otherwise, even if he intervened, he would not have much confidence in rescuing the Demon Ancestor from the hands of eleven Ancestral Wu.
On Mount Kunlun, Yuanshi's heart was filled with anxiety. If the eleven Ancestral Wu truly killed Qing Ling here, he would immediately go to the Du Guang Land and sever the Jian Mu tree.
Even if he had to bear some karmic consequences, he would be the first among the Six Sages to sever his three corpses and achieve the Hun Yuan realm!
Beside Buzhou Mountain, seven Ancestral Wu struck like collapsing mountains, their footsteps like earth-splitting chasms. The Wu clan's laws wreaked havoc upon the world, all falling upon the Azure Jade Umbrella, causing it to tremble violently.
Qing Ling, still standing with his hands behind his back and eyes closed, opened them briefly. He waved his hand, and two hundred and eighty-eight innate spiritual treasures flew out, landing on the Azure Jade Umbrella and transforming into azure lotuses. These two hundred and eighty-eight spiritual lotuses then rotated and shifted, becoming thirty-six eight-petaled lotuses.
Each of the thirty-six azure lotuses bloomed with eight petals, and on each petal rested an innate spiritual treasure!
The Azure Jade Umbrella once again stabilized. As the thirty-six azure lotuses spun, they generated thousands upon thousands of colorful precious lotuses. This time, the six Ancestral Wu could no longer easily destroy these lotuses.
The twelve Ancestral Wu's faces darkened. The seven Ancestral Wu who were leading the attack gritted their teeth, their punches growing even more ferocious with each blow.
The great powers observing the battle from all over the world looked on with envy. Two hundred and eighty-eight innate spiritual treasures!
A single innate spiritual treasure was exceedingly rare, yet here, nearly three hundred were deployed in one go!
Di Jiang's expression was grave. He stared intently at Qing Ling, who was meditating with his eyes closed, for a long time. He did not believe the other party could escape the confinement space set by the five Ancestral Wu!
The seven Ancestral Wu fought from dawn till dusk. The sun and moon dimmed, mountains and rivers shattered, and the earth split apart. Finally, the Azure Jade Umbrella was once again on the verge of collapse.
Zhu Rong, with his violent temper, directly cursed, "When we break this great formation, I will surely burn you with my flames and incinerate your primordial spirit!"
At this moment, Qing Ling opened his eyes and waved his hand again. A phantom image of an azure lotus slowly rotated beneath his feet, drawing countless lotuses.
A thirty-six-petaled Creation Azure Lotus phantom!
The thirty-six-petaled phantom azure lotus slowly expanded, still protecting ten thousand li of heaven and earth. It merged with the two hundred and eighty-eight spiritual treasures and combined with the Azure Jade Umbrella, once again bolstering its defense.
The twelve Ancestral Wu were truly enraged this time. Anyone who was toyed with like this three times would inevitably become furious.
Each time they were on the verge of success, they had to start all over again.
This time, the four Ancestral Wu who were suppressing heaven, earth, and space could no longer hold back. Tian Wu raised the faint netherwind, blowing out endless gusts of wind, and even eighteen terrifying hurricanes swept towards Qing Ling. Da Feng Novel Network.
Hou Tu was the most direct. Behind her, an unimaginably majestic phantom of Buzhou Mountain appeared, crushing down with immense force. Standing on the earth, her power was the strongest among the twelve Ancestral Wu!
Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin remained still, merely focusing their efforts on stabilizing time and space to prevent Qing Ling from escaping.
This time, nine Ancestral Wu joined forces. The heavens and earth trembled, the sun and stars became hidden, and the mountains sank. Everyone's expression changed.
Although it did not compare to the power of Hun Yuan, the combined might of nine great Ancestral Wu, even at the cost of worsening their injuries to unleash their full strength, meant these were no longer Ancestral Wu operating at half capacity. They had surpassed the level of Half-step Hun Yuan!
"Rumble rumble~"
The Creation Azure Lotus slowly bloomed. The two hundred and eighty-eight spiritual treasures shone with extreme brilliance. Thirty-six lotus leaves were destroyed by Xuan Ming's deadly rain, but they were blocked by the fourth lotus leaf.
The Wu Sha hurricane destroyed a full four lotus leaves before it was barely stopped.
The opposing forces of water and fire directly shattered eight lotus leaves of the Creation Azure Lotus phantom, and She Bi Shi's venomous power also corrupted three lotus leaves.
Lightning and electricity transformed into rolling divine thunder, destroying six lotus leaves.
The punches of Jin Ge destroyed three, finally dissipating.
Hou Tu's Buzhou phantom shattered five leaves!
The thirty-six-petaled Creation Azure Lotus phantom had thirty-two leaves destroyed!
The shattered phantom azure lotus slowly rotated. From each broken lotus leaf, eight spiritual treasures with dim radiance fell!
Thirty-six lotus leaves, each with eight spiritual treasures combined. Although more than half had been destroyed, they had managed to block this attack!
Di Jiang saw this and shouted, "Strike again! The next strike will be the breaking of his formation and his death!"
The nine Ancestral Wu once again gathered their Wu power, disregarding their injuries, and unleashed a full-power strike.
It was at this moment that Qing Ling, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze akin to countless stars bursting into brilliance!
"Stars of the Heavens, heed my command, shift!"
The next moment, the stars of the heavens appeared in the sky. Countless complex and profound star patterns crisscrossed, and the power of the stars enveloped Qing Ling and the eleven Ancestral Wu.
"Boom~"
With a deafening roar, all figures vanished. Only the attack that the nine Ancestral Wu had just unleashed landed on empty space, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
They were gone?
All the great powers watching the battle were astonished!
