Chapter 209: Contesting the World-Destroying Great Millstone

Seeing the Array rising before him, Gonggong was not too surprised.

Mount Sumeru was, after all, the dojo of the Western Two Sages; it certainly would not be easy to break into.

However, after only a moment of hesitation, Gonggong flew down once more, his towering physique slamming into that Lotus Platform.

He could not shake the Heavenly Pillar, Mount Buzhou, but he, Gonggong, did not hold a mere Mount Sumeru in his eyes.

Moreover, since it concerned the matter of Xuanming, he did not care about anything else.

Boom! Amidst a heaven-shaking sound, petals fell one by one from the snow-white Lotus Platform.

The Array guarding Mount Sumeru had actually been shaken by Gonggong; it was clear that this mountain-protecting Array of Mount Sumeru had been set up by Jieyin and Zhunti quite casually.

Gonggong paid no mind, his body rebounding, and he slammed toward the Lotus Platform again.

Amidst the many exploding petals, numerous figures fled out from Mount Sumeru.

Just seeing the terrifying Ancestral Witch physique in the air, every one of them turned pale.

They had not joined the Western Sect long ago, and their cultivation levels were mostly Taiyi Golden Immortal; had they not been protected by the Array, how would they have dared to fly up into the sky?

The few Western Sect disciples who rushed out cried out in panic, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion.

This was Mount Sumeru; someone was crashing into a Saint's dojo like this, yet their Masters had not appeared.

"Gonggong!"

Just at this moment, a thunderous sound exploded in the sky, and suddenly, a figure was seen rising slowly from the floating Lotus Platform.

Zhunti appeared, looking at Gonggong who was still charging headlong toward him, his expression extremely ugly.

Before he became a Saint, he truly did not dare to face an Ancestral Witch directly, but today was different from the past; what did a mere Gonggong count for? Even if all twelve Ancestral Witches were gathered, he, Zhunti, would have no fear.

At such a critical moment, this fellow actually came to Mount Sumeru to cause trouble; it was truly detestable.

However, facing the wildly surging Gonggong once more, Zhunti did not dare to rashly deal a lethal blow.

Standing on the Lotus Platform, he waved his Daoist robe casually, and the rushing Gonggong was seen flying away in a wretched state, without even a chance to resist.

All are ants beneath a Saint; this was not just a saying.

In the hands of Tian Yuan and Nuwa, he dared not say anything, but Gonggong was another matter entirely.

Had he not been wary of Tian Yuan, Nuwa, and the special circumstances at hand, he would certainly have obliterated this fellow with one palm.

Boom! Mountains and rivers in the distance exploded, and Gonggong slammed wretchedly into a ruin. But in an instant, the opponent flew out again, charging toward Mount Sumeru with menacing momentum.

Seeing Gonggong's state, Zhunti was also slightly surprised in his heart.

Although he did not dare to kill the opponent, that blow just now was not to be underestimated.

According to his estimation, it should have at least heavily wounded this fellow, yet who knew his momentum would be no less than before.

"Zhunti! You..." Gonggong roared, his voice shaking the wilderness.

But before he could finish, Zhunti in the sky waved his sleeve again.

The wildly charging Gonggong flew off at an even faster speed, then disappeared directly into the horizon; it was clear that Zhunti had increased his force.

Having done this, Zhunti did not hesitate in the slightest, his figure disappearing from the scene, and the Lotus Platform shrouding Mount Sumeru also faded away.

The group of Western Sect disciples in the mountain, still in shock and suspicion, all looked around blankly.

Looking at the now-calm Mount Sumeru, not one of them knew what had happened.

Such a major event as Gonggong crashing into Mount Sumeru, yet their Masters had given no explanation, and more importantly, it seemed they had even spared Gonggong's life.

Facing their high and mighty Sect Leader, they dared not say anything, only returning to their respective caves to cultivate in peace.

By the banks of the Weishui, Nuwa, who was guarding Fuxi as he proved the Dao, looked up toward the horizon.

There, a figure came flying backward; it was Gonggong, one of the twelve Ancestral Witches.

Nuwa frowned, her large hand grasping through the void, directly unloading the force on Gonggong and intercepting him.

"Gonggong! What happened?" She remembered that Gonggong, like her, had gone to the Western Region to search for Xuanming's aura; how was he suddenly swiped away by Zhunti? Could the matter of Xuanming be related to the Western Two Sages? She had sensed the auras of Jieyin and Zhunti, but they were fleeting, and with Fuxi's proving of the Dao imminent, she had paid them no mind.

She had not expected that in just a short while, Gonggong would be swiped out of the Western World by Zhunti.

Gonggong steadied his figure, scanned his surroundings, and hurriedly said, "Xuanming, I sensed Xuanming's bloodline power, right there on Mount Sumeru."

"Mount Sumeru?" Nuwa was startled, her eyes filled with doubt.

Among the Wu Clan, only the Ancestral Witches possessed a Primordial Spirit, but it was extremely weak; it was not so simple for those two fellows, Jieyin and Zhunti, to control Xuanming.

The methods the Western Two Sages used to forcibly convert other living beings could not be applied to the Ancestral Witches.

"That's right! I clearly sensed Xuanming's bloodline resonance just now." Gonggong nodded, his face full of anger.

He was one of the twelve Ancestral Witches, yet now he had been casually swiped from the Western Region to the East.

If Nuwa had not helped just now, he feared he would have crossed the Primordial Land and plunged headlong into the Chaos.

Having traversed the Primordial Land for so many years, even when he was swiped away by Mount Buzhou in the past, it had not been such a great distance.

Gonggong was very angry in his heart, and even more eager to take that step.

Zhunti was a Heavenly Dao Saint; only by Proving the Dao to Hunyuan would he have a chance to settle this karma.

Nuwa looked surprised; she had once secretly infiltrated Mount Sumeru and even slipped into its interior, yet she had never sensed Xuanming's aura.

However, after only glancing at Gonggong, her figure disappeared from the scene.

Xuanming's matter concerned the Western Earth Veins and was of great importance; Nuwa believed Gonggong would not dare to lie. Moreover, based on her understanding of the Ancestral Witches, they were not adept at lying.

Associating this with the fluctuations of Jieyin and Zhunti she had sensed earlier, perhaps there truly was something strange going on.

In a few breaths' time, Nuwa had already appeared above Mount Sumeru in the Western Land, where the fluctuations of Zhunti's magic power could still be felt.

This time, Nuwa did not hide her figure; rolling Saintly might swept out, pressing down toward the Mount Sumeru before her.

The void shook with a bang, and dense, broken array patterns flashed on the mountain.

At the same time, two powerful auras surged up, and Jieyin and Zhunti appeared in the air.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, what is the meaning of this?"

"Nuwa, why have you destroyed our mountain-protecting Array?"

Jieyin and Zhunti's faces were livid, their eyes filled with fury.

They were both Heavenly Dao Saints, and with one of them always remaining on the mountain year-round, the mountain-protecting Array served mostly as a warning; how could it possibly stop a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal?

Such arrogant behavior from Nuwa meant she completely disregarded them.

Standing in the air, Nuwa looked at the two figures not far away with a suspicious expression.

From the fluctuations surrounding their bodies, Nuwa discovered they had just experienced a great battle.

Although she looked down upon the Western Two Sages who achieved sainthood through merit from the bottom of her heart, even the worst of them were still Heavenly Dao Saints.

In the Primordial Starry Sky, what kind of person would require both of them to fight simultaneously? Hongyun was in the Fire Cloud Cave on Mount Buzhou, and Tian Yuan was still in the Primordial Starry Sky, so who was it? Thinking this, Nuwa's terrifying Divine Sense quickly probed the surroundings carefully.

Having lost the mountain-protecting Array, the disciples of the Western Sect were all exposed to the Saint's might, and they had long since prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move a muscle.

Jieyin and Zhunti, already furious, were even more enraged when they saw Nuwa remain silent for a long time while so rudely probing Mount Sumeru with her Divine Sense.

With a roar, an inexplicable will rose around the two, quickly covering Mount Sumeru. Mount Sumeru was their dojo; this was not only to maintain the face of a Saint, but also out of fear that the space would be discovered by Nuwa.

Yet, before a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, and with Nuwa having come prepared, her Divine Sense had already swept across the entire Mount Sumeru.

"Strange! There is actually nothing here." Nuwa's face sank, her eyes filled with confusion.

She had not found the aura of Xuanming, nor had she sensed any other abnormal fluctuations.

Mount Sumeru remained the same as when she last visited, yet Nuwa was still certain there was a problem with Mount Sumeru.

She did not know if Gonggong had sensed it wrong, but her own judgment would absolutely not be wrong; Jieyin and Zhunti had just experienced a great battle, that was certain.

"Could it be inside Mount Sumeru?" Nuwa looked at the shimmering golden sacred mountain below.

She had already turned Mount Sumeru inside out; the only place that could have a problem was that space. Could Xuanming also be in that space? With her strength, she could not enter that space, so how could Xuanming have done it?

In that case, was the person who fought Jieyin and Zhunti the vanished Xuanming?

Because of Houtu, she and Xuanming had some small friendship. In such a short time, had the other party grown to this extent? Thinking of the situation in the Western World within the Consciousness Space, Nuwa somewhat believed this speculation.

Although the Western World was barren, it was still one-quarter of the Primordial land; those who could affect the Western Earth Veins could not be ordinary people.

The Humanity Will she grasped was too weak to enter that space; this matter still required Tian Yuan to come, or perhaps Hongyun, the Humanity Lord.

Jieyin and Zhunti, who were originally furious, saw Nuwa remain silent while her gaze frequently swept toward Mount Sumeru beneath them, and both felt a chill in their hearts; had the other party already noticed something?

It was precisely because they sensed Nuwa's aura that they had fled in a panic from inside Mount Sumeru.

Looking at it now, it seemed Nuwa had already discovered it long ago.

Thinking of Gonggong, who had just been swept away, a sense of foreboding flashed through the hearts of the Western Two Sages.

Xuanming! It was Xuanming that Nuwa had come to the Western World to find.

This fleeting thought in their minds made both of them shrink inwardly.

That space not only held a massive opportunity but also a Chaos Treasure; if the news spread, they would absolutely be unable to keep it.

Just as the two were feeling uneasy, they saw Nuwa take a step forward and vanish into the air in the blink of an eye.

Jieyin and Zhunti were both stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment.

"Senior Brother, what does Nuwa mean by this?" Zhunti turned his head to look at Jieyin beside him.

He had only just begun to clear his thoughts, yet Nuwa, who had arrived with such force, had left so hastily.

Jieyin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally just shook his head slightly, though he had a very ominous feeling in his heart.

Nuwa had returned only to leave again; she must have discovered something, but why was there not a single sign of investigation? Could it be... Thinking this, a terrifying thought flashed through Jieyin's mind.

He immediately looked toward Zhunti at his side, just in time to meet the other's gaze.

The two, eyes filled with shock, did not hesitate in the slightest and fled directly into the interior of Mount Sumeru.

Dizang and the others, who had been suppressed to the ground by the vast might, looked blankly at the quiet Mount Sumeru before them.

They were disciples of the Western Sect, and this was the dojo of Heavenly Dao Saints; how could such powerful might fall here repeatedly? The two sect masters of the Western Sect had not even issued any instructions.

The disciples of the Western Sect, who had just returned to their respective cave dwellings, rushed out one by one again, looking around blankly.

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti had no mood to pay attention to the disciples.

Having just darted into the interior of Mount Sumeru and broken through the Array covering Mount Sumeru, they looked into the distance in shock.

In the endless blood-colored void, a millstone rolled out, crushing a large expanse of the void.

Looking at that familiar Chaos Treasure, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces were filled with panic.

It was clearly hidden within the inner world of Mount Sumeru and required the Heavenly Dao Will to open, yet it had now appeared on its own.

Such a great commotion now would definitely be sensed by Tian Yuan and the others.

Sure enough, dense Dao Patterns rose behind them, and after a mere flash, two figures, one after the other, darted in.

"The Chaos Treasure, World-Destroying Mill!!!"

Two shouts exploded; the appearing Nuwa and Hongyun looked in shock at the millstone rolling in the air.

They were all Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals; how could they not recognize that thick Chaos Qi in the distance?

They had originally thought it was a matter regarding Xuanming, but they had not expected it to involve a Chaos Treasure.

Chaos Treasures were all born in Chaos and were objects controlled by Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals; they were most suitable for them.

Beyond the shock, a deep joy followed.

Seeing the two who had appeared, the faces of the Western Two Sages were terrifyingly dark.

The Array inside Mount Sumeru was extraordinary; Nuwa being this fast clearly meant it was not her first time.

It turned out that, unknowingly, Nuwa had long since thoroughly explored their Mount Sumeru, while the two of them had been completely unaware.

Were Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals truly this powerful? But at this very moment, they had no time to dwell on this, and they quickly darted toward the rolling millstone.

This was a Chaos Treasure; how could Jieyin and Zhunti watch it slip away?

However, the two observant ones did not find the figure of Xuanming on the World-Destroying Mill.

Almost at the same time, Nuwa and Hongyun in the distance also swept toward the World-Destroying Mill.

As they drew closer, a killing intent of annihilation suddenly emerged, enveloping everyone's Primordial Spirit.

The involuntary shivering of their physical bodies left Nuwa and Hongyun both shocked in their hearts.

They had not even approached the World-Destroying Mill, yet their physical bodies already felt such anomalies; if they were to face the Chaos Treasure directly, they feared they would collapse and shatter in an instant.

The Opening Heaven Axe used by Pangu to open the heavens was that very Chaos Treasure, and it must be even more terrifying.

The Hunyuan state means the physical body is without leaks and unified as one; the greatest strength of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal is their own physical body.

At this moment, Nuwa and Hongyun both understood somewhat that whether compared to Pangu or those three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, they were far too lacking.

Pangu Great God possessed a Chaos Treasure, and those three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were no worse.

Yet Jieyin and Zhunti, who were on the side, were actually closer to the World-Destroying Mill than they were.

Under the gaze of the four, the entire World-Destroying Mill emerged, crushing layers of space as it rolled toward the depths of the void.

They were fundamentally unable to stop it, let alone subdue this treasure.

Dharma treasures have spirits, and that goes even more so for a Chaos Treasure.

Seeing a portion of it disappear into the void ahead, Hongyun shouted, "Not good! This World-Destroying Mill is about to escape!"

Sure enough, in the time it took to speak, another small piece vanished.

Looking from afar, the World-Destroying Mill seemed motionless, yet it was slowly embedding itself into the void.

Hongyun and Nuwa were anxious, and Jieyin and Zhunti not far away were even more desperate.

This Chaos Treasure was discovered by them first; how could they let it slip away for nothing?
