Chapter 472: Rage, the Confounded Ba Zhang Lao

Boom—!!!

Four Ancient Killing Arrays that had been silent for ten thousand ages awakened simultaneously from the fourth lower layer of Song Tian Hall.

It was not a simple energy burst, but the ultimate order of the ancient Celestial Court used to guard its core, a personification of a law that exists solely for destruction.

The first layer's Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect Slay Immortal Array was the first to strike.

Countless golden sword qi, formed from pure geng metal killing aura, did not scatter but instantly coalesced in the void into a terrifying sword river a million li long.

The sword river surged upward without any flourish, crashing straight into the five great giants who were besieging the righteous defenders.

Immediately after, the second layer's All-Heaven Divine Thunder World-Ending Array fully activated.

That towering ancient thunder god phantom, ten thousand zhang tall, had thunder vortexes wildly spiraling in its eyes; the Primordial Axe it wielded was wrapped in wisps of grayish chaotic qi, a world‑ending thunder older and more primal than the chaotic divine thunder.

The axe swung down, targeting not a person but a rule node in the fifth‑layer space; it intended to drag this world and all its living beings into a destructive thunder punishment!

The third layer's Sixteen Celestial Ganqiu Divine Execution Array and the fourth layer's Four Symbols Lethal Great Array erupted simultaneously.

The silhouettes of sixteen celestial spirits merged into a single silver spear that pierced causality and ignored distance, thrust straight at the core of the Supreme Immortal King's golden proud sun.

The phantom shadows of the four Sacred Beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise—roared, sealing the four cardinal directions and spawning an isolated lethal world that utterly blocked every giant's retreat!

This sudden cataclysm forced every Immortal King‑level being atop the Heavenly Dome to halt their actions.

"Not good!"

The Supreme Immortal King's cold voice, unchanged for ten thousand ages, trembled with shock and anger for the first time.

On that silver spear clung a divine‑execution force that specifically targeted souls and the origin of law; even he dared not meet it head‑on.

He had to abandon his suppression of the righteous, and the golden proud sun before him instantly contracted, turning into an immensely heavy golden divine shield that he placed before himself.

Clang!

The spear struck the shield, emitting a deafening roar.

The Supreme Immortal King's figure shuddered violently in mid‑air, clearly taking a heavy hit.

"Damn! It's a backhand left by the Celestial Court!" Thunder Emperor Ancestor let out a roar of shock and fury.

He stared at the thunder god phantom brandishing the giant axe, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He cultivated the supreme thunder technique of the Thunder Emperor lineage, believing himself to have reached the pinnacle of the thunder path; yet upon that thunder god phantom, he sensed a suppression emanating from deep within his bloodline!

It was a higher‑tier thunder art! The true primordial divine thunder!

Boom!

The thunder sea he hastily gathered was cleaved in two by the axe, the scattered thunder light slicing his will‑projection into flickering fragments.

Yaochi Saint Lord, Ten Thousand Demon Cave Demon Lord, Western Heaven Buddhist Sect Giant, and Martial King were each ensnared by the sword river and the phantom shadows of the four Sacred Beasts, leaving them flustered and helpless.

Meanwhile, the Ba Zhang Lao of Zang Tian Ge, who had just arrived ready to unleash divine might, was utterly stunned.

He watched the four arrays rising from the lower space and the pitiable state of the five great giants, and a feeling of absurdity surged within him.

"This... what is happening?"

He whirled around, his divine thought as sharp as a blade, locking onto Gu Yuan's clone nearby, and bellowed, "Kid! Did you do this?! When did you take control of the Celestial Court's Killing Arrays?!"

He subconsciously assumed it was all caused by that disobedient reserve apostle.

After all, the kid had just verbally acknowledged that Song Tian Hall had recognized him as master!

However, Gu Yuan's clone reacted with even greater shock and anger.

"Who is it?!"

Gu Yuan's clone gazed at the four mighty arrays, then at his own empty hands, and let out a sky‑ward roar full of resentment and unwillingness.

"Who's stealing my opportunity?! Who's snatching my Song Tian Hall?! Get out of my sight!!!"

That voice, like a cuckoo wailing in blood, broke the hearts of listeners and brought tears to their eyes.

He portrayed the image of a victim who had just inherited a fortune of billions, only to be told the inheritance had been transferred away by another mysterious figure, with striking depth.

That roar clearly reached the ears of every giant present.

The five great domain giants, scrambling to fend off the arrays, all froze in their movements.

Wasn't it the lunatic from Zang Tian Ge who did it?

Then who?

A thought that sent chills through all of them simultaneously rose in their minds.

Could it be that...

Within this Song Tian Hall, besides them, besides the Celestial Court's lingering souls guarding the righteous, besides Zang Tian Ge's Extinction Source Walker… there is also a hidden fourth faction?!

In an instant, the Supreme Immortal King, Thunder Emperor Ancestor, Yaochi Saint Lord… these beings who had lived countless eras and considered themselves the players, all felt a chill emanating from deep within their souls.

They suddenly realized they might have been trapped in a meticulously laid snare from the very beginning!

From the first layer's treasures being looted clean, to the theft of the Primordial Source Dao Disk on the second layer, to the draining of the Sheng Xian Chi on the fifth layer… an unseen black hand seemed to be pulling the strings behind it all!

They had previously thought it was the lunatic from Zang Tian Ge.

But now it seemed that lunatic was merely a pawn placed on stage, a bait to draw all their attention!

"Find it! No matter the cost, bring that hidden rat out for me!" the Supreme Immortal King roared in fury.

He would rather forgo the Celestial Court's inheritance, yet could never tolerate being toyed with like a monkey by an unknown entity for so long!

Meanwhile, the Ba Zhang Lao of Zang Tian Ge, after hearing Gu Yuan's clone's roar, was also deeply shaken.

"Not him?"

The Ba Zhang Lao's mind raced.

"Could it be that the kid merely got lucky, was chosen by a Celestial Court inheritance, only to have a deeper hidden fox snatch the peach at the last moment?"

This explanation seemed far more plausible than "the kid is unfathomable and has been playing me all along."

After all, in his view, Gu Yuan's clone was just a mortal of the lower world; even with extraordinary talent and deep scheming, he could not master the control of the Celestial Court's relics so flawlessly in such a short span.

"Damn! Who on earth dared to snatch what Zang Tian Ge covets!"

In an instant, Elder Ba Zhang also flew into a rage.
