Chapter 160: Mount Buzhou Rises from the Ground
Having just crossed through the passage, Di Jun shouted aloud: "Second Brother, what are you waiting for?"
He could already clearly sense the auras of the ten Little Golden Crows, but Taiyi, who had entered a step ahead, had actually stopped in mid-air.
With a loud roar, Di Jun did not hesitate in the slightest and swept toward the Southern Land.
Although he did not know what those stone men outside wanted to do, time was tight and allowed for no hesitation.
If not for the help of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, how could they have resisted thousands of Hunyuan Golden Immortals?
Now that this space had only been temporarily opened, once the connection to the Array was severed, they would absolutely not be able to withstand the siege of so many stone men.
Swish—a figure stood before them, and a surging, inexplicable will rolled over, accompanied by turbulent laws.
That somewhat strange aura shocked Di Jun, and he hurriedly retreated.
Glancing at Tian Yuan, his pupils constricted slightly.
Just now, the might of Mount Buzhou had surged, and this Tian Yuan had actually stepped into the Peak Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
Detestable fellow, his breakthrough happened far too coincidentally.
Yet, compared to Tian Yuan's cultivation realm, Di Jun felt strange auras lurking all around.
Di Jun knew in his heart that it must be this energy, similar to the Sun Star Will, that made Taiyi wary.
Although somewhat puzzled as to how Di Jun had entered, Eastern Emperor Taiyi still casually summoned the Chaos Bell.
Clang! The bell toll was mighty, rapidly rippling toward the surroundings.
Who would have thought that from the sacred mountain in the distance, where the Mysterious Yellow Qi was erupting, a loud "Boom" of vibration would come.
The originally grand bell toll actually diminished rapidly until it faded away in the air.
Di Jun, having steadied his figure, immediately looked toward the sacred mountain not far away.
He saw the Mysterious Yellow Qi shrouding the sacred mountain ripple away, transforming into a huge ring that fell toward the Primordial land.
The sacred mountain, which had been surrounded by Mysterious Yellow Qi for years, was fully revealed to everyone for the first time.
It was towering, its peak invisible, emitting an ancient and vast aura.
This was the Consciousness Space; Di Jun understood that it was also a Mount Buzhou.
A vast momentum rolled in, and the two Demon Emperors standing in the air could not help but feel their minds tremble.
"Hoo!" Di Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
In this space, Tian Yuan could wield more of Mount Buzhou's power.
In the time of a few breaths, those stone men on Mount Buzhou had not chased them in; the matter was somewhat strange.
It was as if Tian Yuan had let them in on purpose.
Di Jun and Taiyi suddenly realized that breaking into this place seemed a bit too risky.
The two looked at each other and split into two paths, quickly fleeing toward the Southern Land.
This space was far more mysterious than they had imagined, and Tian Yuan's relationship with Mount Buzhou was also beyond their expectations.
The most urgent task was to rescue the Little Golden Crows; this was the primary mission.
Who would have thought that just as the two moved, another powerful and forceful vibration came from the distant Mount Buzhou.
The two fleeing Demon Emperors stiffened and stopped in mid-air.
"Since you have come, stay here," Tian Yuan said with joy in his eyes.
As soon as the words fell, the distant sacred mountain shook slightly, and the towering Mount Buzhou actually rose from the ground.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color, a momentum of the sky collapsing rolled down, and a peerless, tyrannical pressure landed on their hearts.
At the same time, a dense amount of Mysterious Yellow Qi surged from the mountain peak, blasting toward the passage intertwined in the air.
Watching the towering sacred mountain slowly rise behind him, blotting out the sky and sun, Tian Yuan was full of anticipation.
This was not the Primordial land, but merely the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space; with the complete fusion of the Pangu Heart, he could already drive the sacred mountain before him to suppress enemies.
This was also the reason why he could resist Di Jun and the other alone; in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, no one could best Mount Buzhou.
As long as the connecting passage was severed, no matter what means Di Jun and Taiyi had, their only fate was to be suppressed.
The moment the two appeared, they manifested dozens of laws, and the key was that the pillars of Qi above their heads were simply too tempting.
Although the Heavenly Dao Will was not yet activated, as long as he kept them here, he would always find a way.
This... Di Jun and Taiyi opened their eyes wide, looking at the leaping Mount Buzhou with horrified expressions.
The power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation merely borrowed the power of the Primordial Starry Sky, but the momentum rushing toward them was no different from facing the entire vast Starry Sky.
Tian Yuan's control over Mount Buzhou had reached such a terrifying level that he could actually drive Mount Buzhou to strike directly.
In the Primordial land, could the opponent do the same?
Taiyi did not know, but he now understood that if they did not hurry, the two of them might really be suppressed here.
"Big Brother, I will hold off Mount Buzhou!"
With a roar, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had endless starlight surging around his body, and a phantom of the Sun Star even faintly appeared behind him.
Di Jun also had a horrified expression, his figure turning into a golden rainbow as he fled.
Alas, the familiar heartbeat sounded again; the void was imprisoned, time stopped, and his figure froze in place, for the momentum of Mount Buzhou had already locked onto them.
Glaring resentfully at the Southern Land, Di Jun let out an angry roar.
He had clearly made full preparations, but he had not expected this Tian Yuan to hide so many means as well.
Di Jun, stopped in mid-air, had a phantom of the Lunar Star condense behind him, connecting with the Sun Star behind Taiyi. Immediately after, large stars appeared one by one, then outlined dense, small stars.
In less than a single breath, the originally gray sky in the Consciousness Space suddenly became brilliant with starlight, and stars flickered across the sky.
An inexplicable might rippled out, meeting the Mount Buzhou that was pressing down with the force of ten thousand jun. The towering sacred mountain fell, countless star phantoms dimmed and shattered, and it descended like a hot knife through butter, suppressing Di Jun and Taiyi.
Watching the many shattering stars, the faces of Di Jun and Taiyi became incomparably ugly.
Tian Yuan, standing opposite, was excited, his eyes full of anticipation.
This was only the Consciousness Space; if one day he could drive the Mount Buzhou of the Primordial land, it would surely be even more spectacular.
The three hundred and sixty-five great stars, which had been surrounded by numerous small stars like the moon among the stars, also began to crumble; Di Jun looked toward Taiyi with a livid expression.
"Go!" With an extremely unwilling roar, Di Jun drove the phantom of the Lunar Star behind him to smash toward Mount Buzhou, his figure already fleeing rapidly toward the passage.
Beside him, Taiyi looked helplessly at the Southern Land and likewise fled toward that passage.
The phantoms of the Sun Star and Lunar Star, along with the remaining great stars, carried countless stars as they crashed out, finally slightly halting the falling momentum of Mount Buzhou in the air.
"To think it cannot destroy the passage." Seeing Di Jun and Taiyi escape, Tian Yuan felt depressed in his heart.
The Mysterious Yellow Qi that had just poured out from Mount Buzhou had, upon entering that passage, immediately commingled with the Heavenly Dao Will within it; it had not destroyed the passage at all.
Although he was temporarily in an adversarial relationship with Di Jun and Taiyi, the will of Mount Buzhou and the Heavenly Dao Will controlled by the Demon Court could not attack one another.
Scanning the thick pillars of luck atop the two men's heads, Tian Yuan flew up, intending to block them.
But just as he approached, a loud bell toll reverberated, and at the same time, the Chaos Bell tore through space and crashed toward him.
With a "Clang!" sound, Tian Yuan's figure flew backward, and Di Jun and Taiyi had already dived into the brilliant starlight passage.
At the passage entrance on the peak of Mount Buzhou, dozens of stone men swarmed up, intending to block the path of the two.
Who would have thought that a powerful aura would surge out from within that brilliant starlight.
The group of stone men who had come under Tian Yuan's command were all sent rolling away in a sorry state.
With two "Whoosh!" sounds, Di Jun and Taiyi rapidly broke out of the passage interwoven with starlight, and immediately after, the starlight dimmed and the passage vanished in a blink.
In the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, following the departure of Di Jun and Taiyi, the stars remaining in the air instantly shattered and disappeared without a trace.
Watching the passage close in a blink, Tian Yuan muttered softly: "Gathering the Heaven and Earth Luck, it really isn't that simple!"
If not for the support of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, Di Jun and Taiyi would absolutely not have been able to walk out of this space.
However, Tian Yuan was not too disappointed; not to mention the many laws manifested by Di Jun and Taiyi, just the fact that he had sent out over a thousand Hunyuan Golden Immortal stone men already made him very satisfied.
More importantly, the Pangu Heart had completely merged into Mount Buzhou, and along with it, he had broken through an Essence Refining Stage.
And Houtu, who had left first, must have also swept through the Pangu Temple.
This attack by the Demon Court had still brought him a bountiful harvest.
Glancing at the slowly descending Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan's figure vanished into the air.
Yet in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, those members of the Witch and Demon Clans were all staring blankly at the firmament.
They had all seen the sudden appearance of Di Jun and Taiyi, but at this very moment, everyone only had eyes for the leaping Mount Buzhou.
The momentum of the mountain tilting down like a falling gourd made their minds tremble just from a single glance.
Zhu Jiuyin's lips trembled, his eyes revealing a sense of bewilderment.
It would be one thing if the stone men were strange, but Tian Yuan was actually directly driving Mount Buzhou to crush his enemies; how could they still fight? Back then, under Mount Buzhou, the aura released by the Heavenly Pillar had casually swept them away; if the entire Mount Buzhou were to smash down, the twelve Ancestral Witches would likely be suppressed instantly.
Several Ancestral Witches looked at each other, all standing there in a daze, staring blankly at the distant Mount Buzhou.
The hidden means of Tian Yuan far exceeded their imagination.
Resist? What was there left to resist with now? The Twelve Capital Divine Array of the Witch Clan might be able to withstand it, but missing Houtu and Gonggong, there was no longer any chance; how could they oppose Mount Buzhou?
Seeming to sense the confusion in their hearts, the surrounding stone men hopped away, no longer paying them any mind.
And above the Southern Land, the ten Little Golden Crows were likewise dumbfounded.
How excited they had been when they saw Di Jun and Taiyi appear.
Who would have thought that in just a few breaths' time, their Imperial Father and Uncle would have fled this place in such a sorry state.
"Impossible, this is simply impossible."
"Imperial Father! Uncle! Save us!"
The ten Little Golden Crows gazed at that closed space, emitting cries of unwillingness.
In the hearts of the Little Golden Crows, Di Jun and Taiyi had always been supreme existences.
The Demon Emperor looked down upon the world, dominating the Primordial World, unstoppable by anyone.
Now, at the hands of this stone man Tian Yuan, they had actually fled in panic; they felt their beliefs collapsing.
Glancing at the squawking Little Golden Crows, Huluwa was all smiles.
This was the space of Father Mountain; if Di Jun and Taiyi hadn't run fast, they would likely have been suppressed too.
Giving Xihe a look, Huluwa flashed and vanished from the scene.
The passage broken open by the Demon Court had already closed, so he did not need to worry about the ten Little Golden Crows being able to run away.
Presumably, after witnessing the power of Father Mountain, they would surely be even more obedient in clearing the flames in the future.
Seeing Huluwa disappear, Xihe suppressed the trembling in her heart and looked at the ten Little Golden Crows on the side.
Tian Yuan's strength also exceeded her imagination.
The ten Little Golden Crows did not know what those stars filling the sky represented, but she knew very clearly that those were the Demon Court's greatest foundation.
As it stood, unless they completely cleared the flames from the Southern Land, it was impossible for them to get out.
