Chapter 158: Fusion of the Pangu Heart
"Roar! It's the passage to the outside, we can finally get out."
Beneath the towering sacred mountain, Zhu Jiuyin and the others gazed at the opening broken through the space above their heads, a glimmer of light appearing in their violent eyes.
They had been captured by Tian Yuan for tens of thousands of years, but the other party had never paid them any mind, only having many stone men jump out to viciously humiliate them.
These stone men were just like Tian Yuan; not only were their physical bodies terrifying, but their Dao attainments were also extremely profound.
Their Ancestral Witch Body could actually hardly gain the slightest advantage.
"These stone men are too..." Before Tianwu, who was beside him, could finish his words, he stared blankly at the top.
In that direction, one burly stone man after another surged upward, emitting powerful fluctuations.
The passage shining with starlight in the firmament was instantly blocked by the numerous figures, and then they disappeared from sight one by one.
Zhu Jiuyin and the others, who were stunned in the field, had their gazes unconsciously sweep toward the few stone men around them.
There were actually so many powerful stone men in this space? Amidst the rumbling sounds, it did not take long before a figure appeared within that passage.
He was no different from the surrounding stone men, but Zhu Jiuyin and the others recognized him at a glance. It was Tian Yuan, that hateful stone man who had captured them!
On the southern firmament, the ten Little Golden Crows and Xihe were likewise staring blankly at the top.
The sudden appearance of Di Jun and Taiyi had given them a great surprise.
Who would have known that numerous stone men would fly up in this space, and then there were constant sounds, yet they did not see the figures of the two Demon Emperors.
Instead, that hateful stone man from Mount Buzhou appeared leisurely in the passage.
Huluwa glanced at Tian Yuan's figure in the passage and said proudly, "The mere Demon Court is not in our eyes; you had better clear away this southern flame properly, otherwise you will suffer."
The Demon Court breaking open this space also made Huluwa somewhat surprised, but it was only surprise.
Father Mountain is in charge of Mount Buzhou; wanting to rescue people from here is simply impossible.
Retracting his gaze, Huluwa pursed his lips and looked at the ten Little Golden Crows.
If it weren't for the fact that the southern flame needed the ten Little Golden Crows to clean it up, he would definitely have run out to take a look too.
Facing Huluwa's words, the ten Little Golden Crows cursed repeatedly, but Xihe in the air had a grave expression.
She had been captured by Tian Yuan for some time, but because of the Golden Crows, she had not investigated the surroundings.
Xihe did not know Tian Yuan's background, nor was she clear about the specific situation of this space.
Not to mention anything else, just those thousands of Hunyuan Golden Immortal stone men completely exceeded her imagination.
Listening to the quacking sounds in his ears, Huluwa just glanced at them, his gaze looking toward the firmament from time to time.
Walking in the passage interwoven with starlight, Tian Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance.
After sensing carefully for a while, he felt a familiar fluctuation.
"It really is the Heavenly Dao Will!"
The Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell has the power to suppress time and space and can break open this space, but to maintain the passage, only the same Heaven and Earth Will can do it.
Of the Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos, the Earthly Dao belongs to the Netherworld, Humanity Luck gathers on the Primordial World, and the Heavenly Dao is supported in the Primordial Starry Sky.
This is likely the fundamental reason why Hongjun has always wanted to establish the Immortal Court and the Heavenly Court.
Thinking this in his heart, Tian Yuan slowly calmed his mind and began to mobilize the Mount Buzhou will.
Immediately, he saw the sacred mountain in the Consciousness Space, which was already completely shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Qi, tremble slightly, and a wisp of will drifted out, quickly fleeing toward the passage.
But in the next second, Tian Yuan frowned and looked suspiciously into the Consciousness Space.
Urgent and shrill screams came from the gray firmament, and suddenly, many chaotic wills darted out from the endless void, biting toward that wisp of Mount Buzhou will.
A faint momentum rippled out, and many Free-roaming Will fragments shattered in the air, but more and more wills surged over.
In Tian Yuan's astonished gaze, that wisp of Mount Buzhou will was actually gnawed away completely.
"There is something strange!" Tian Yuan revealed a thoughtful look, his eyes filled with doubt.
After obtaining the Pangu Heart, these chaotic wills almost all shrank on the firmament, completely afraid to actively erode Mount Buzhou.
Mobilizing the Mount Buzhou will, Tian Yuan was only trying to feel the Heavenly Dao Will, perhaps hoping to revive the Heavenly Dao in the Consciousness Space; he did not expect such an accident.
Without the slightest hesitation, a huge will immediately rose from Mount Buzhou.
Along the way, dense chaotic wills emerged, but unfortunately, they were crushed to pieces under that massive momentum.
The current Mount Buzhou will is no longer something these Free-roaming Wills can contend with. If it weren't for them being endless and the void being somewhat strange, Tian Yuan would have already wiped them all out.
The will crashed into the brilliant passage like a hot knife through butter; the long, narrow passage trembled slightly, immediately bursting with rich five-colored brilliance, and at the same time, profound energy rippled out.
Tian Yuan clearly felt a will following along and fleeing toward Mount Buzhou; it was the Heavenly Dao Will.
He saw the distant sacred mountain tremble violently, rumbling sounds echoed, and a majestic momentum surged up.
Borrowing the passage constructed by the Demon Court, Mount Buzhou temporarily connected with the Heavenly Dao Will, and its prestige rose again.
Tian Yuan was overjoyed, but his gaze was fixed on the peak of Mount Buzhou.
Amidst the surging Mysterious Yellow Qi, the Pangu Heart, with only a small half exposed, was visibly sinking into the mountain body.
"Haha... truly an unexpected joy!" Tian Yuan stroked his chin, his face full of joy. As the will on the passage connected, the speed at which the heart sank became faster and faster.
Tian Yuan felt that perhaps today the Pangu Heart could completely fuse with Mount Buzhou.
It was just that the firmament of the entire Consciousness Space became noisy, countless shrill screams echoed, and dense chaotic wills rolled toward the passage.
They did not pounce on the Mount Buzhou will, but attached themselves to the inner wall of the passage and began to gnaw crazily.
These Free-roaming Wills were preventing the fusion of the Pangu Heart.
"Hmph!" Tian Yuan gave a cold snort and threw a punch, and many wills were killed on the spot.
His burly body stood at the entrance of the passage, and no will was able to break in.
However, Tian Yuan did not stay happy for long; he felt that on the outer wall of the passage, there were also dense wills gathering.
The people in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space were all stunned by the scene before them, but apart from a few curious members of the Wu Clan, no one stepped forward to investigate the whistling, dancing wills.
On Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World, Di Jun and Taiyi, who were surrounded by numerous stone men, immediately felt the anomaly of the passage.
They did not know the situation in the Consciousness Space and only thought that Tian Yuan was destroying the passage.
"Brother! These stone men are too troublesome; we cannot hold back any longer!" Taiyi sent a voice transmission to Di Jun in the distance.
Originally, they had been full of confidence, never expecting that so many strange stone men would pop out of that space.
It would be one thing if their cultivation was profound, but the key was that they could not be killed; no matter how heavy the injuries they sustained, they could recover in the blink of an eye.
Taiyi had once struggled to shatter a stone man, even burning it with the Great Sun Golden Flame, but the opponent merely took a few extra breaths of time to recover.
With the support of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, Taiyi had no fear of consumption, but the main purpose of their trip was to rescue the ten Crown Princes and Xihe.
Di Jun in the distance did not reply; the two merely exchanged a glance, and immediately, golden pillars of Qi rose above their heads, surging with luck as they poured into the Zhou Tian Star Formation.
In an instant, a vast and mighty pressure descended from the firmament, and the aura of Di Jun and Taiyi surged greatly.
And the stars hanging down from the firmament began to gradually become massive.
Although they were annoyed by the might of Mount Buzhou, both Di Jun and Taiyi were very clear that Mount Buzhou was the Heavenly Pillar of the Primordial World; if it were shattered by the Zhou Tian Star Formation, that kind of karma was definitely not something they could bear.
Therefore, at the very beginning, the two had only locked onto the great momentum of Mount Buzhou, while simultaneously opening up that space.
Who would have thought that after such a long bombardment, not only did Mount Buzhou show no signs of decline, but now it could actually surge in size.
More crucially, the passage connecting to the Consciousness Space was also suffering from the erosion of an inexplicable force.
Clearly, they had underestimated the strength of Tian Yuan, as well as the formidable nature of Mount Buzhou.
A violent aura swept out, and the stone men rushing over from all sides were all swept away.
The Chaos Bell above Taiyi's head rang with a "clang, clang, clang," and many of the figures thrown into the air were frozen in place.
He did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately fled toward the passage interwoven with starlight.
Taiyi possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure, but Di Jun did not have such means; in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by numerous stone men again and could only look expectantly toward Taiyi.
Having already made such a big scene, setting aside whether or not they could eliminate Tian Yuan, the ten Crown Princes definitely had to be rescued.
Before coming, they had estimated Tian Yuan's strength and also considered the might of Mount Buzhou, but they had never expected that so many strange stone men were hidden in that space.
Even if there were thousands of normal late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortals, they would have no fear, but the scene before them... Just as Taiyi approached, a figure emerged from below; it was Hongyun.
Hongyun, with the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud hanging above his head, looked at him with a burning gaze: "Fellow Daoist, let me test the power of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Bell, shall I?"
Taiyi's gaze was instantly drawn to the celebration cloud above his head, a flash of brightness crossed his eyes, and he backhanded the Chaos Bell out.
He had long wanted to capture and kill Hongyun, but had never found the opportunity; now that the opponent had bumped into him, he naturally would not be polite in the slightest.
His cultivation realm was above Hongyun's, and the Chaos Bell was completely refined; the opponent was no match for him.
Filled with anger, Taiyi did not hold back even a bit in this strike.
Clang! Hongyun felt the world shake violently, and only the rolling sound of the bell echoed in his ears.
He tumbled away while bearing the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud, but his rugged face was full of smiles.
"Haha! It truly is a good treasure that excels in defense!" With a loud laugh, Hongyun nimbly dove into Mount Buzhou.
This exchange made Hongyun understand the power of the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud even more clearly.
As for blocking the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Hongyun still had self-awareness; he did not have that kind of strength.
Taiyi's angry strike had merely made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Taiyi's face sank, looking very unpleasant. It really was an Innate Supreme Treasure, and one that specialized in defense at that.
Merely glancing at the direction in which Hongyun had left, Taiyi fled toward the passage.
A sweep of his gaze revealed Tian Yuan standing not far away at the entrance of the passage, laughing up at the sky.
Tian Yuan sensed the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but he did not care, instead looking at the summit of Mount Buzhou.
There, the Pangu Heart had completely disappeared from the mountaintop, having thoroughly merged into Mount Buzhou.
