Chapter 796: Three Sovereigns Divine Banner, Evil Dragon Falls (4K)
Zhang Jian's body turned into light, and in an instant he directly entered the Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation.
Behind him, Anfu Tianzun was the fastest, his body turning into a shadow, as if swallowing the endless universe of time and space, and his figure closely followed, sinking into it.
After Anfu Tianzun entered the Three Sovereigns Forbidden Grand Formation, the True Talisman Dao Ancestor followed.
This Dao Ancestor's body was in harmony with the Heavenly Heart, his spiritual awareness sharp; his figure appeared in the void, as if faintly sensing something, with a hint of alertness deep in his Dao-heart.
At this moment, inside the Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation, the Heavenly Emperor Monarch, seeing the situation, slightly moved his hand holding the Heavenly Emperor Divine Banner; a thread of invisible divine light sank into the River of Fate deep within the myriad heavens, obscuring the changes in heavenly secrets around him.
The True Talisman Dao Ancestor hesitated slightly, but the two vast demonic auras behind him instead took the lead and entered the Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation first.
Seeing this, the True Talisman Dao Ancestor hesitated briefly, then immediately entered the Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation as well.
Afterwards, the True Light Teaching Ancestor and the Hongyuan Dao Ancestor arrived one after another.
The Hongyuan Dao Ancestor had already seen the two great demonic auras arrive ahead of him; his eyes narrowed slightly, and he likewise stepped into it.
Seeing this, the True Light Teaching Ancestor merely glanced around; deep between his brows, his primordial spirit felt something unusual, as if pure, and deep within his vast Dao-heart, a shadow had appeared.
He faintly felt that if he continued pursuing, there would surely be danger.
But at this moment he also felt that this danger was merely a normal omen.
After all, it involved a primordial spiritual treasure.
With so many powerful beings contending for it, fighting might not allow them to retreat unscathed.
Likewise, he continued to plunge into the Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation.
After all the gods had entered the Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation, within it were the three formation eyes.
The Heavenly Emperor Terrace, the Earthly Emperor Terrace, and the Human Emperor Terrace emerged respectively from within, three strands of supreme imperial aura shining together, as if gathering the boundless heavenly emperor's authority descending, sealing the heavenly Dao rules of all realms, forming an absolutely controlled cosmic space.
The Heavenly Emperor Terrace, the Earthly Emperor Terrace, and the Human Emperor Terrace all manifested.
The Heavenly Emperor Monarch, Zhang Jian, and the Stone Ancestor all emerged from within, as if having received the three supreme sovereign edicts.
On the Heavenly Emperor Terrace, the Heavenly Emperor Monarch at this moment held the Heavenly Emperor Banner, his gaze falling upon the several immortals and gods at the center of the grand formation, and he spoke calmly.
"Greed blinds the mind; this is Heaven's will letting these monstrous evil gods perish here!"
The Heavenly Emperor Banner in his hand fluttered loudly; as he waved his hand, the boundless Three Realms Forbidden Grand Formation instantly transformed into a vast cosmic starry sky; looking closely, those cosmic starry skies were entirely an unknown, vast heaven-earth Dao rule evolved.
Zhang Jian's gaze fell upon it; that heaven-earth Dao rule and the Yi Dao rule, the Nine Palaces Dao, the Fate Dao—somewhat similar, as if containing profound mysteries of multiple heaven-earth Dao rules, extraordinarily profound.
Zhang Jian knew it should be called the Heavenly Emperor Dao Rule.
It was far stronger than the primordial Dao rules condensed by the powerful beings of the Other Shore, filled with a unique aura of all heavens and myriad worlds, towering above the Dao rules of all realms.
Not only was it that Heavenly Emperor Dao Rule.
There was also the power of heaven-earth Dao rules contained within the Earthly Emperor Banner and the Human Emperor Banner.
Likewise unique, possessing a faintly transcendent primordial divine power beyond the three thousand Dao rules.
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor Monarch controlled the Heavenly Emperor Banner in his hand; the vast Heavenly Emperor aura poured forth, spreading across heaven and earth, obscuring the five senses and spiritual awareness of all immortals.
He then turned toward Zhang Jian and the Stone Ancestor.
"I will take charge of the formation, split him apart; you find a way to strike and break them individually, do not let them become alert!"
The Stone Ancestor's expression remained unchanged; on his Human Emperor Banner, a golden dragon-shaped totem bared its fangs and brandished its claws, as if containing vast divine power; he slightly waved, and threads of Human Emperor Sword Qi faintly appeared, as if possessing the power to cleave heaven and earth.
His gaze fell upon the formation, and he spoke softly.
"First kill those two demonic strong ones, then deal with Anfu Tianzun!"
Zhang Jian slightly nodded.
Where their gazes fell, at this moment in a vast starfield, two terrifying demonic auras had already been split apart, each falling into a great starfield.
The demonic auras were vast; one wore an ice-blue robe, his body circulating intense cold, as if a special ice silkworm transformed into a demonic strong one; only seen, layers of ice soul divine light continuously spread from his body, freezing the starfields into powder.
In Zhang Jian's perception, that was a Three-Reversion Dao Venerable.
Moreover, he should be an old-brand demon venerable, his cultivation extremely tyrannical.
The other was a figure clad in silver-white robes, similarly surrounded by vast silver-white light, his demonic aura rich yet extraordinarily pure, sacred, and faintly carrying a strange fragrance.
Seeing this, the Stone Ancestor said.
"Earth Emperor junior, this Snow Silkworm Old Ancestor is entrusted to you; I will deal with that Lunar Yin Golden Centipede!"
Zhang Jian, upon hearing, nodded.
His figure turned into a stream of light, flying straight into the ice-sealed starfield.
His figure appeared, his divine eyes scanning over the Snow Silkworm Old Ancestor; this time he did not use the Kaihuang Golden Spirit Sword; deep in his palm, a purple-yellow dragon-shaped light appeared, instantly enveloping the vast starfield, turning it into a purple-yellow furnace.
From within, the cyan sacrificial fire blazed fiercely.
The Snow Silkworm Old Ancestor sensed the existence of the Earth Emperor Furnace; his expression changed slightly, and in his hand appeared a mirror of intense cold aura; simultaneously, he rapidly formed seals, and demonic auras from his hand erupted, turning into icy, flashing ice-jade mirrors guarding his surroundings, in an attempt to protect himself.
But when the cyan sacrificial fire surged upward, he could not help but change expression.
The treasure of his Silkworm Clan, the Ice Magic Mirror, was actually melting rapidly in the cyan flames, even the acquired indestructible divine prohibition within was burning and destroyed.
In shock, the Snow Silkworm Old Ancestor could not help but activate his primordial Dao fruit; special blood-red patterns appeared on his body, forming threads of vast primordial divine power, attempting to use pure primordial power to freeze and extinguish the cyan fire.
Yet the cyan fire was not blocked; in an instant, it followed the threads of intense cold divine light and drilled into his supreme demonic body, instantly enveloping him.
He desperately operated the Silkworm Clan's secret method, attempting to use the silkworm metamorphosis technique, condensing remaining vitality into an ice cocoon for rebirth, but it had no effect.
The Silkworm Clan's extremely thick innate silkworm cocoon was instantly pierced by the cyan fire; terrifying painful cries came from within, and in dozens of moments it was completely burned to ashes.
Zhang Jian felt that a pure primordial essence from the void suddenly returned and entered the thirty-six leaves of the innate cyan lotus.
This primordial essence was truly abundant.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Stone Ancestor had already ended the battle ahead of time.
In Zhang Jian's gaze, he saw that the vast, vast space had already been shattered into fragments, everywhere filled with omens after the eruption of brutal force.
Vast expanses of starfield space turned into powder and fell.
Moreover, a fierce power lay hidden within, brimming with destructive force.
That was the Stone Ancestor's martial secret method.
His martial arts secret technique seems to have gradually evolved into the Primordial Realm.
This is an astonishing achievement.
After completing their tasks one after another, the two of them each cleaned up the battlefield, collected the spoils, and rushed toward the starfield void where the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable was located.
In that vast, magnificent, and gloomy starry expanse, the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable scanned his surroundings, sensing from the depths of the void a powerful and utterly alien sensation—completely different from the Heaven and Earth Great Dao—and a trace of solemnity appeared on his sinister countenance.
He knew that at this moment, he had likely already fallen into the trap meticulously laid by that human powerhouse.
Everyone had been deceived.
The Dark Rune Celestial Venerable knew that this time he must escape this place as quickly as possible, otherwise a single misstep could lead to the peril of his true form falling.
But he had just tried—whether using the power of the Wu'an Dream Demon Nine-Headed Dragon True Form or employing part of the Supreme Dao Secret Technique—he could not budge this terrifying great formation in the slightest.
It seemed as if this great formation had already monopolized the three kinds of extraordinarily special vast Dao rules.
The three special Dao rules formed three special cosmic universes, which joined into a ring, endlessly rotating; unless one could find where two of them intersect and attack that point with full force, perhaps there is hope to break the imprisonment.
But that requires finding the direction.
This demands sufficient attainment in the Heaven and Earth Dao rules and the profound mysteries of formations.
The Dark Rune Celestial Venerable knew he lacked both.
Yet he felt it was not without hope.
He knew that among the powerhouses who would later enter this great formation, there would inevitably be several from the Tianfu Realm; if he could find them, the united immortals might still have a chance to leave this place.
But in an instant, his expression suddenly changed—yet he saw the depths of the void violently tremble.
It seemed as if some terrifying colossal entity was emerging from within.
A mighty, formless divine might surged forward in advance, carrying a fervent blood and divine energy.
The Dark Rune Celestial Venerable usually greatly enjoyed such vigorous blood and vital essence, brimming with life, in divine beings—but now he felt as if facing a formidable foe; behind him, vast dharma manifestations appeared, nine purple suns rotating and rising into the void, actually trembling slightly, as if subdued by that ocean-like vast divine power.
In the blink of an eye, he saw in the depths of the starry void a colossal deity emerge—his body wrapped in knotted muscles, his stature towering at hundreds of millions of zhang in height; his breath was thunder, his eyes like sun and moon—opening his eyes was day, closing them was night; moreover, between his hair, thick and chaotic primordial essence ebbed and flowed, and behind him, a magnificent primordial aura took shape, evolving into a magnificent chronicle of civilization.
On his body naturally exuded a terrifying aura, as if bearing a fierce divine dao pressure.
Upon seeing the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable, the Stone Ancestor's expression remained unchanged; he merely twitched the banner in his hand slightly, and instantly it transformed into a sword of the Human Dao that could cleave anything, slashing fiercely toward the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable, fully deploying the wondrous abilities of the Martial Dao Primordial Ancestor, as if capable of independently opening a path among the myriad heavens and worlds, shattering heaven, earth, and all dao.
"Who exactly are you..."
Before the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable could finish speaking, he was interrupted—above his head, a vast sword intent tore through the void.
That sword intent was extraordinarily heavy.
Faintly carrying the supreme conviction of unity and humanity's triumph over heaven.
Upon contact, the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable knew that this sword intent was extraordinarily terrifying and could not be met head-on.
But at this moment, he had nowhere to dodge.
He could only brace himself and take it head-on.
Around him, nine purple-black suns rotated, suddenly merging into his true form's depths, causing his vital energy to surge violently; a vast purple-black solar corona radiance burst forth from behind him.
"Primordial Evil Spirit, Myriad Evils Annihilate the World!"
It seemed as if the howls of myriad evil spirits emerged in the void, transforming into strands of eerie, ominous green light, forming a vast primordial evil formation; faintly, divine power capable of swallowing all beings surfaced within—but in an instant, it was shattered by the vast sword light above, the entire primordial evil formation collapsed, and purple-black radiance spilled outward.
The Dark Rune Celestial Venerable's form suddenly appeared billions of millions of li away; at this moment, his countenance was grim.
Just one strike, and he knew the powerhouse before him was truly an unprecedented formidable foe.
If in the outside world, even if he could not prevail, he could still withdraw with composure.
But here he had nowhere to flee, and moreover, his Dao Fruit, cultivation, and true form were being suppressed by those three special Heaven and Earth Dao rules.
This could be called the worst possible situation.
The Dark Rune Celestial Venerable was also an ancient primordial fiend; at this moment, he could not help but arise with a fighting-to-the-death resolve.
He knew he must persevere, persevere until a breach appeared within this great formation!
When he detonated his origin, the Wu'an Dream Demon Nine-Headed Evil Dragon True Form behind him seemed to become truly substantial, and moreover, a terrifying evil energy of swallowing heaven and earth burst forth from the center of the nine dragon heads, forming a vast vortex sweeping outward, devouring this star sea, and even forcibly devouring the Three Emperors' qi deep within the Three Realms Forbidden Great Formation.
In the void above, Zhang Jian's form emerged, he holding the Kaihuang Golden Spirit Sword, yet he did not act.
Because the Stone Ancestor had already greeted him in advance, asking him to guard the formation.
Zhang Jian had considerable confidence in this Stone Ancestor.
The Stone Ancestor is one of the unparalleled powerhouses in the Human Three Sovereigns and Five Elders Council, truly a foundation.
How strong his Immortal Martial Ancestor Golden Body is, Zhang Jian had already experienced it before.
The half-crippled Dark Rune Celestial Venerable would absolutely not be a match for the Martial Ancestor.
Only seen in the void above, the Martial Ancestor's expression remained unchanged; his Human Emperor Divine Banner had already transformed into a giant sword, and the vast divine power of opening heaven and earth erupted completely from his entire body, as if shattering the universe.
This was completely different from his state when fighting Zhang Jian, with an added fierce intent of breaking through the heavens.
That vast evil spirit vortex was instantly cleaved straight through by the sword light; the Wu'an Dream Demon Nine-Headed Evil Dragon was then dismembered on the spot by the terrifying sword light, two of its heads severed at the neck, instantly shattered into nothingness by the sword light, and could never return to the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon True Form for rebirth.
In the distance, Zhang Jian watched this scene, his countenance secretly growing somewhat solemn.
Likewise having cultivated the Sword Dao, but his Sword Dao foundation lies in the concept of 【Weight】, this heavenly and earthly concept transformed from the profound mysteries of the earth.
Whereas the Martial Ancestor's Sword Dao lies in the three special concepts of 【Force】, 【Martial】, and 【Destruction】.
Possessing a boundless, magnificent divine power of advancing without retreat.
"In the previous duel, this Martial Ancestor indeed held back, and not by a little..."
Zhang Jian secretly thought.
After the two heads were shattered, the Martial Ancestor's body was filled with even more intense chaotic manifestations, the sword light formed from the Human Emperor Divine Banner blazing brightly, several sword styles swept out, instantly cutting the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon True Form into dozens of segments, and then he sought to directly use the Human Emperor Divine Banner in his hand to display the Three Realms Forbidden Great Formation's divine power to suppress and wear it down.
Seeing this, Zhang Jian proactively manifested his true form, saying.
"Senior Stone Ancestor, may I be entrusted with the true form of this ferocious beast?"
His eyes gleamed with brightness.
Although the Dark Rune Celestial Venerable was half-crippled, if he were allowed to let the azure flames consume him, he could also obtain a great amount of Heaven and Earth origin.
With this piece of primordial essence of heaven and earth, it is sufficient to allow the second innate immortal divine prohibition of the thirty-six leaves of innate creation green lotus to take form.
Stone Ancestor was slightly surprised, then immediately nodded.
The true form of this nine-headed evil dragon has little effect on him!
