Chapter 492: Cave Heaven Suppresses the Array, Sun and Great Yin Subdue the Evil Dragon

This is truly outrageous!

Good thing I had precautions in place early!

Instinct, get out of here!

Flowers and leaves never meet... Sheng Zhaoshui actually hadn't hesitated or paused in the slightest just now; long before Du En's voice transmission, he had already been channeling his divine ability, but constrained by all sorts of pressures, he had only just managed to strike the blade at this moment.

At the same time, Du En's voice transmission wasn't to say anything witty, but to attract the attention of the Dragon Venerable corpse.

Although the Sun-Moon Combined Attack Treasure Array is unique and can gather the power of the sun and moon to strike at one point, it is a simple, plain, and practical array, and it can also connect to the foundation of the Three Talents Central Pivot to further enhance its power...

But to be honest, because it is truly too simple, in the current situation, it is obvious at a glance that something is wrong, and coupled with the words and actions the True Monarch once expressed about them needing to work together, the situation was already very clear.

With Sheng Zhaoshui just having been directly excluded and left all alone, how could that be considered working together?

In other words, there is still a place for him now, a place where he needs to act outside the array!

So, he must be relieved, and fire must be drawn away.

And look, the fire is here.

Seeing the Dragon Venerable corpse seemingly recognize Du En, the food that had run away time and again, the crimson Dao marks remaining on its tongue were provoking it, so it suddenly opened its mouth; that giant maw, capable of easily swallowing an entire continent, now spewed forth a vast and mighty torrent.

It was an endless, boundless sea of Decaying Gold Rust Resentment surging like a mountain collapse and ground rupture, its edges transforming into dense swarms of rotten soldiers and defeated generals, countless times more terrifying than a landslide, directly pouring down overhead; it was simply incomparably horrifying.

"Hold it."

Du En projected his voice to An Shen, and having finished his own preparations, he violently activated his divine ability.

Undying Holy Source!

Suddenly manifesting his undying true form, he devoured the sun-principle potential of the array, erupting with infinite light and heat, his height climbing and surging wildly, rapidly reaching several thousand miles in length.

Burying Death, Glorifying Life!

Using death to reflect the living, using accumulated life to nourish the master of the divine ability, he went all out without reservation, fully erupting, nesting within each other, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, rushing toward each other in both directions.

His figure continued to surge wildly, even more magnificent and brilliant, like a god, several thousand miles, ten thousand miles, tens of thousands of miles, finally settling at a scale of eighty thousand miles!

The entire array expanded accordingly, becoming who knows how many times larger, capable of covering a continent; various array materials and bases took root in the deep layers, absorbing the Heavenly Right Principles that had not yet retreated, and barely pinning them down to supply a continuous stream of power to this side.

On the moon side, corresponding to the sun, An Shen's actions were simple: he stepped out from the mirror, revealed his true form, and immediately the Dark Sun Mirror Crow spread its wings; amidst the brilliant sunlight, his form became solid, and then, borrowing the power to surge wildly, he also finally reached an unprecedented scale of eighty thousand miles!

Compared to the Holy God's starting point of tens of thousands of miles, it could be called doubled; of course, compared to the Holy God's peak, it was still a huge gap, and such a scale and ferocity, facing that terrifying Dragon Venerable corpse, were merely larger pieces of meat.

However, blocking this strike of its was barely achievable.

Sun-Moon Combined Attack!

An infinitely brilliant tide of light mixed with dim, gloomy fluorescence surged out, covering the cosmic void, from bottom to top, blocking the long sea of Decaying Gold Rust Resentment.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, and the friction and conflict escalated.

Creak, creak, bang, bang, bang! Du En's magic power was vast and endless, and the might of An Shen hung high and did not fall; however, even with such combined force and attack, it still could not withstand that infinite, endless spewing from the Dragon Venerable corpse.

As this side began to exert force, the crazy decaying gold rotten soldiers suddenly underwent a change.

It was the Geng Yang decaying, and the Xin Yin rotting; those two branches of the Heavenly Stems, the two sides of the Metal Element, suddenly separated, transforming into grotesque Geng Resentment and Xin Sin, suddenly tearing along the boundary of the sun and moon.

*Riiip! * A sharp, ear-piercing tearing sound rang out, shaking the primordial spirit and destabilizing the Dharma methods; the Heavenly Right Principles were already being suppressed and driven away, and now the Dragon Venerable corpse was in an even higher position, using a more direct, fallen-evil, nail-pulling devouring, directly applying separation and cutting from the foundation; the Sun-Moon Combined Attack began to collapse on the spot, about to be sliced open like a hot knife through butter.

"Well cut!"

Because the fire had been drawn away just now, Sheng Zhaoshui had finally reached his designated position; he shouted loudly to bolster his courage, though his calves were actually still trembling, and then his hands reached out, and amidst the eruption of his divine ability, he actually grabbed the place inside the array where the tearing was spreading.

At that moment, he also directly separated the sun and moon from the array principles; Du En and An Shen did not stop or interfere, as the Sun-Moon Combined Attack couldn't win anyway, so they might as well see what methods he had.

They just tried their best to continue outputting, so as not to let the Dragon Venerable corpse find an opening.

Or rather, it was to make a commotion, attract the dragon's attention, and let this dead, fallen-evil corpse, out of malice or similar impulses, continue to clash with them head-on.

In short, things were still going smoothly for now.

"Hehe! The combined force of the sun and moon seems to fit Yin and Yang, but it actually stays on the surface."

While sweating profusely, Sheng Zhaoshui exerted his divine ability with all his might; in his very rapid movements, he did not forget to spout words, which was his way of seeking courage due to his extreme unease, and also to explain to the two of them.

"To be precise, the difference and opposition between the sun and moon are not that obvious. The sun is the Great Yang, the most rigid and bright, naturally located at the end of Yang, and the name of the sun is already confirmed; however, what about the moon? The moon is not like the sun; it even has to borrow the sun's power to obtain its own light!"

"For example, Daoist An, as a Dark Sun Mirror Crow, should have been a divine bird or god of the sun type, yet he is able to transform into a Dark Moon Mirror Moon, standing on the moon phase."

"Why is that? Because the moon is actually also the sun, a variation of the sun!"

"However, it is not purely so; it has another side, the back, forever dark, the pure darkness that the sun's power cannot illuminate; that is, the Great Yin of the Universe's Darkness!"

"The Great Yang and Great Yin intersect at the moon and manifest upon the moon; that attendant closest to the main star of the star realm also receives the light of the star realm's spiritual veins, so discussing the moon as such, its uniqueness lies therein!"

"So, come now, split the moon, separate the sun, isolate the Great Yin from within; the Great Yang and Great Yin, Yin and Yang shall not meet—*Pfft! *"

With Sheng Zhaoshui's ability, managing to separate the Great Yin was already his limit; as for vainly attempting to make Yin and Yang not meet, let alone him, whether the logic base of the divine ability itself could even do it was still a matter of debate.

So, unsurprisingly, he vomited three liters of blood, his body and spirit were both injured, and he suffered Dao wounds.

But relatively speaking, as the laws of Yin and Yang emerged and surged, the Central Pivot principles also received powerful support, momentarily stabilizing the pace of being forced to retreat, as if hitting bottom and rebounding; with this invisible surfing, it even slowed down the Dragon Venerable corpse's offensive posture.

Right and evil collided, silent and soundless! An Shen also grasped the key point through Sheng Zhaoshui's courage-bolstering words, and quickly took advantage of the moment when the Great Yin was separated to temporarily hide the sun phase with his own manifestation of extinction and darkness, taking over the position of the Great Yin.

*Pop, pop, pop, pop... *

One by one, array bases and materials suddenly leaped out, revealing their keys amidst the shattering sounds, and then automatically landed on the new pivot points, forming a brand-new network, dragging and fixing it in place before the tide of the Yin-Yang Right Law receded. At the same time, the remnants of the Three Talents Subjugation and the Qiankun Central Pivot all jumped out, rushing to join in as the transformation mechanism of the array, supporting its formation and operation.

Change the array!

Sun-Moon Great Yin Evil-Suppressing Array!

But while the array eyes and bases were all there, it was still missing one treasure to suppress the array!

What is most suitable? A Cave Heaven!

What is a Cave Heaven? The intersection of Yin and Yang, the evolution of time and space; it is precisely the most suitable treasure to suppress the array at this moment!

So Sheng Zhaoshui threw out an object.

It was a jade pendant, murky and very inconspicuous; as it made contact with the formed array, it immediately erupted with light, flashing directly into the array and dodging that giant maw that had abruptly torn through space to attack.

Sheng Zhaoshui was also carried to the spot; he was still shaken, because if he had been even a tiny bit slower just now, he would have been swallowed in one gulp by the dragon, and he would certainly have been dead beyond a doubt.

After all, the identity of this Dragon Venerable before him was now incomparably clear.

Venerable Golden Dragon! What is meant by "Gold"?

It is one of the main pillars of heaven and earth, the head of the Five Elements foundation; sharp and resonant, white and solemn, it governs killing and conducts warfare, is imbued with struggle, dwells in the West, and is contained within change! Simply put, among the five great Dragon Venerables, this fellow has the strongest power of slaughter and struggle.

To put it even more simply, to kill a mere weak Heaven's Pride at the Perfection of the Incarnation stage, it doesn't even need to close its mouth; the extremely dense Decaying Gold Rust resentment within its breath alone could easily finish them off.

Even with the many methods provided by True Monarch Chengru here, it is useless! Without the "pre-swing" of brewing, pulling, and spreading, facing the Venerable Golden Dragon—who can be called the origin of governing gold—is completely hollow; it could pierce through with just a slight snap of its jaws.

Fortunately, they escaped! As for that Dragon Venerable corpse, it grew angry at having failed to eat the snack time and again, and struck out with a backhand claw; the extremely dense power of Decaying Gold raged, and with a boom, it struck the Sun-Moon Evil-Suppressing Array, causing it to shift, wrinkling the very space and leaving time in turmoil.

This is the power of a Venerable! Fortunately, the Sun-Moon Evil-Suppressing Array had already unfolded, standing upon the surging principles of heaven and earth, so it was not shattered by that single claw; in fact, this strike even acted as a boost, causing the array-suppressing treasure, which had actually been a bit sluggish, to suddenly reach a critical value.

The Yin-Yang transformation is already achieved, only the space-time collision is missing! True Monarch Chengru went to great lengths to mold this great grotto-heaven into a jade pendant and have Sheng Zhaoshui bring it in; it can be called flawless planning, taking this current situation into account, intending to borrow the Venerable's power to unload the restraints and shackles he had imposed upon himself.

At that moment, brilliant light soared to the heavens, resisting the evil.

The Myriad Star Sinister Fetus even paused slightly; its terrifying, abyss-like malice was pushed aside, pulling this sector of the universe—which should have been completely occupied by distorted logic and strange evils—back to a state of equilibrium between righteousness and evil.

The reason is none other than this: the newly unfolded grotto-heaven is the third grotto-heaven of the world! The Profound Grand Total Truth Heaven! It is a great heaven and earth, with complete principles and laws, worthy of being called another world; at this moment, it unfurled like a scroll, connected into the Yin-Yang pivot, and brought forth infinite righteous principles!

Compared to the 36th Lesser Grotto-Heaven, the Golden Brilliance Grotto-Origin Heaven, which Sheng Zhaoshui had already used before, it directly surpassed and transcended by a level; its rank cannot even be simply described as eighth-tier.

Because it can be called a new fruit borne by the universe, and if placed outside this heaven and earth, it could develop into another immeasurable universe, an endless human realm!

This is the foundation of the world that even the Supremes pursue; it is a pity that in the ancient times, the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens were scattered and lost. Who knows where True Monarch Chengru found this third grotto-heaven, and he even had the ability to compress and change it, deceiving the eyes and ears of the Supremes, bringing it into the Profound Azure Star Realm, and only just now decompressing and unfolding it.

In an instant, Du En and the others became trees with roots; the righteous principles of heaven and earth regained their footing and poured their support into the Sun-Moon Evil-Suppressing Array to their heart's content.

As the output end and the array eyes, the person and the god saw their forms explode and skyrocket once more, from a scale of 80,000 li to a terrifying level of 6 million li in the blink of an eye! If it weren't for the fact that they had reached their limit in every aspect here, and the structure of the array could not hold, they could have kept inflating like a balloon until they were capable of swatting the Dragon Venerable corpse away with one palm.

Because this is a method meant to target the Myriad Star Sinister Fetus, and the Dragon Venerable corpse is merely its umbilical cord—an umbilical cord that has already had most of its nutrients drained.

"You all attract its attention here; I still need to go and set up the key points elsewhere!"

Sheng Zhaoshui was incomparably solemn; facing the action they were about to take, they felt very fearful in their heart, but thinking that no matter what, with the unfolded Profound Grand Total Truth Heaven to guarantee their safety, their life should be secure, so they gathered their courage to go and set up the key to the killing move.

With the grotto-heaven array, they had only reached a level capable of contending; they still lacked active killing power and could not truly resolve the Myriad Star Sinister Fetus, so they still needed to play their trump card! At the same time, Du En only felt an object on his body vibrating; it was the jade slip that recorded the Four Spirits Sealing Method.

As another one of True Monarch Chengru's cards, it was telling him that it could now exert its greatest effect.

As long as he borrowed its power to leverage the law, and perhaps risked his own life, he could cause substantial damage to the Myriad Star Sinister Fetus!

Of course, there was actually no opportunity for it to appear right now; after all, while this side did not fear sacrifice or hardship, the other side they were connecting to had already developed a leak.

One could only hope that the trump card on the An Shen side would be useful and could serve as a substitute; if that really didn't work...

Du En pondered silently, nodding slightly at the same time.

At this moment, he was the Sun Giant; a slight movement could shake stars to pieces. Even the Dragon Venerable corpse, which still regarded this side as food, dared not treat him with contempt or neglect, watching him closely, and startled by this movement, it erupted into an attack with a boom.

Decaying Gold and defeated troops?

Wrong!

What followed was a simple, unadorned collision of power!

The boundless power of Fallen Gold, following its movement and impact, rushed over like a world-crashing magic iron.

Du En, who could not finely control the terrifying power within his body, simply stepped out with a boom and easily transcended space-time, appearing before the Dragon Venerable corpse.

Rumble...

A distant, explosive roar sounded; one knew not where it came from, nor where it traveled to, only that in the vast deep space, light surpassing the stars erupted abruptly.

Too fast! It was truly too fast!

Transcending light, transcending space-time, driven purely by surging power, the crude engine of great force was erupting, bringing about a terrifying collision that spread and covered everything from the deep layers to the surface, which neither the naked eye nor the divine sense of a person could capture! This is a Venerable-level battle.

Or rather, a weak Venerable-level.
