Chapter 303

You...

Yuanshi Tianzun never expected that someone would dare to covet his supreme treasure, the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds.

You should know that doing this is practically declaring an irreconcilable feud with him!

But just as those great hands seized the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds, its last trace of strength also dissipated.

He glanced at those great hands, seemingly wanting to remember the opponent's aura.

However, what disappointed Yuanshi Tianzun was that a layer of mist shrouded the opponent's surrounding spacetime; in that brief moment, he could not possibly lock onto the opponent's aura.

Only after Yuanshi Tianzun left did Ao Yifan step out of the void.

Yet, in his hands, the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds continued to struggle.

Still trying to escape?

A cold chuckle came.

In the next instant, numerous spiritual treasures flew out from above Ao Yifan's head.

Blinding light from the spiritual treasures swept over, instantly enveloping the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds.

As expected, so many spiritual treasures!

Watching this scene, Puti Laozi couldn't help but stare wide-eyed; she hadn't expected this person's wealth to be so considerable.

Just then, Puti Laozi sensed Hou Tu Niangniang's wary gaze, and she gave an embarrassed smile, waving her hand and saying, 'Fellow Daoist, don't overthink it—I'm different from those two; I won't see any good things and just claim we're fated.'

However, Puti Laozi's explanation lacked much persuasiveness; there was no way around it—the reputations of those two were truly terrible, affecting even him.

Finally, under the joint suppression of several powerful spiritual treasures, the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds submitted.

As for this supreme treasure, Ao Yifan had no intention of keeping it for himself; instead, he gave it to his eldest son, Yin Jiao.

Ao Yifan did this so that Yin Jiao could use the Yin Shang Fire Cloud to merge with the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds, thereby achieving the goal of making it his own.

Of course, there is an even more important point: the legitimacy of Yin Jiao's identity.

After all, even the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds acknowledged this Yin Shang Crown Prince; what reason could others have to deny his Sect of Enlightenment affiliation?

What Ao Yifan wants is to quickly establish a presence among the various powers before the few sages react.

Naturally, this is also a probe against Yuanshi Tianzun.

It seems this person is truly held up by something; not even a flicker of divine breath dissipating elicits any movement.

Ao Yifan stroked his chin, thinking.

All of this happened only on Yin Jiao's body, and in an instant; when Yin Jiao's whole body was enveloped by the auspicious clouds, Guang Chengzi stood there, dumbfounded.

His master, in order to ensure absolute safety, actually left the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds on this child as well!

Inevitably, a trace of envy, jealousy, and resentment arose in his heart, for the All-Heavens Auspicious Clouds are Yuanshi Tianzun's strongest defensive treasure—even the most beloved Taiyi True Person has never enjoyed such treatment.

Disciple, why haven't you come over yet?

Guang Chengzi gathered his focus, looked toward Yin Jiao, and said.

……

Impudent!

Heaven Beyond Heaven, Chaotic Land.

At the very instant his trace of divine breath dissipated, Yuanshi Tianzun sensed it.

With a wave of his right hand, the Pangu Banner swept out sideways.

Immediately thereafter, a shadow of the Heaven-Opening Axe appeared, traversing endless spacetime, and fell upon the head of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Master's expression hardened; his Azure Duckweed Sword transformed into myriad blades, forming a rain of swords that rolled back toward the axe shadow in the sky.

Yet this axe shadow carried a trace of the primordial might of Pangu's opening of heaven; no matter how mighty the Azure Duckweed Sword rain, it could never block the axe shadow from falling.

'The Great Dao is fifty, Heaven's Derivation is forty-nine, man avoids one—Sever!'

As the Tongtian Sect Master's words fell, his figure was instantly engulfed by the axe shadow.

But just as the Tongtian Sect Master was torn apart by the axe shadow, from the void another, even younger figure stepped forth.

With a gesture of his right hand, the Pangu Banner hovered at his side; Yuanshi Tianzun watched the youth emerging from the void, his eyes narrowing slightly.

'Tongtian, what exactly have you done to become this weak?!'

To be honest, that strike succeeded; even Yuanshi Tianzun himself was somewhat surprised.

'Wrong—where did your Four Execution Swords go?'

Suddenly, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to think of something, and his expression subtly shifted.

'Yuanshi, you think I don't know? In this Investiture of the Gods Catastrophe, the Supreme Clarity Elder also has a share.'

The Tongtian Sect Master glanced at his own hands and sneered, 'If that's the case, what makes you think I'd only drag you down with me?'

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face sank slightly.

'Tongtian, doing this brings you no benefit at all!'

'Indeed, for me, there is no benefit whatsoever.'

The Tongtian Sect Master said, 'Even, it will greatly affect my foundation, but...'

Saying this, spiritual energy swirled around the Tongtian Sect Master.

'But I simply refuse to lose, and I refuse to let you manipulate me.'

'But no matter what you do, your Sect of Severance will only have one outcome—after all, you're too impatient, lacking sufficient means to suppress the Sect of Severance's fortune artifact; the Sect of Severance will inevitably dissipate!'

Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu said lightly: "If so, I tell you, I have already found the method to suppress the Intercepting Teaching's qi luck; how should you then respond?"

"This is impossible!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered: "Your Intercepting Teaching's doctrine determines its mixed nature; unless the will of the Father God is reborn, otherwise, no treasure can suppress your Intercepting Teaching's qi luck."

Upon hearing that, the Sect Leader of Penetrating Heaven curled his lips in a faint smile: "Who said that to suppress the Sect of the Severed's fortune I would need a supreme treasure? Speaking of which, the method to suppress the Sect of the Severed's fortune still needs to thank your inspiration, Elder Brother. Your Twelve Golden Immortals are truly a good solution!"

Upon hearing the Sect Leader of Penetrating Heaven's words, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's expression changed slightly.

"You, you actually also want to use a person of great fortune to suppress fortune?"

After saying that, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable shook his head repeatedly: "No, this is impossible. Your Sect of the Severed's fortune is vast and mixed; wanting to find a suitable person of great fortune is simply a fantasy!"

On this point, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had absolute confidence.

The Sect of the Expounding's means of suppressing fortune are the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Each of the twelve persons of great fortune was painstakingly cultivated by him at great effort.

The Twelve Golden Immortals' fortunes are interconnected, ultimately suppressing the Sect of the Expounding's fortune and consolidating its foundation.

However, the Sect of the Severed is different; its inherent teaching of 'education without discrimination' makes its entire fortune extremely complex.

The so-called Myriad Immortals Paying Homage is, in the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's view, a self-destructive practice.

Therefore, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable is thus convinced that the Sect Leader of Penetrating Heaven could never possibly find so many suitable individuals capable of suppressing the Sect of the Severed's fortune.

"Who said that the person who suppresses fortune needs to be sought out? Actually, one can also cultivate them through nurturing."

The Sect Leader of Penetrating Heaven gave a mysterious smile.

However, his words left the Primordial Heavenly Venerable utterly bewildered.
