Chapter 460: The Two Sages of the West See the Opening Heaven Axe, and Their Brains Go Numb
Tang An had intended to shatter the void and teleport to the space above Lingshan.
But she seemed to think of something, so she let out a whistle, and a Golden Winged Peng flew in from the horizon.
Since being struck down from mid-air by Tang An during the battle at Lingshan, the Golden Winged Peng had been discarded on Lion Camel Ridge after the Western Sect finished using him.
Originally, his mind had been controlled by a succubus, and he had taken a hit from Tang An's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi; he should have been dead for certain.
But Wutian had taken a liking to this mount and taken him back into the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus.
Now that a great battle was imminent, her riding the Golden Winged Peng was undoubtedly a way to repeatedly bring up the fact that she had killed Rulai, slapping Lingshan in the face.
The Golden Winged Peng's eyes were blood-red, clearly harboring deep hatred for Lingshan.
"Let's go. In a while, you can swallow those Buddhas however you like."
"Chirp—"
The Golden Winged Peng's cry was sharp and filled with a murderous aura.
Sun Wukong and the others also followed Tang An and climbed onto the back of the Golden Winged Peng.
The Jade Emperor rode in a dragon chariot, with Taibai Jinxing at the front side and the immortals following on both sides, looking very imposing.
Clearly, the Jade Emperor was openly confronting Lingshan this time; after all, Tang An's intention was clear: they must take Lingshan in this strike.
Regardless of how the Three Realms Defense Great Tribulation was decided, Tang An had chosen Lingshan as the pass for the Zhenmo Pass.
Even if the Zhenmo Pass of the tribulation was not here, she would build a Zhenmo Pass here herself, relying on the dangerous terrain to defend it.
Outside of Lingshan, she would not care about the life or death of humans, demons, or spirits.
But inside Lingshan is the territory of the Great Tang! The Outer Realm Demon Race shall not think of stepping in even one step!
The West, Lingshan.
The Two Sages opened their eyes one after another, both sensing the changes in the energy between heaven and earth.
"They are here."
Ever since they calculated the heavenly secrets, they had immediately given orders to reinforce and activate the Lingshan Array.
This time, the Lingshan Array was different from before; it used the Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus as the array eye, and the various Buddhas of the West formed the array's veins, making it truly difficult to break.
Even if Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun were to take action, it would take a great deal of effort.
Of course, this was what the Two Sages of the Western Sect believed.
Tang An and her group, plus the Jade Emperor and the immortals, and five hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had all arrived above Lingshan.
That spectacle, that pressure, combined with the accompaniment of drums and throat singing, was simply a heavy blow to the opponent's first line of psychological defense.
"Jieyin, Zhunti, I have come, are you happy?"
"Look, who else I brought? Your former Rulai Fozu's uncle, come out quickly to greet your relative."
The other side did not respond, but Tang An's social butterfly attribute was maxed out, so she would not feel awkward at all. She even twisted the knife harder than before.
"Don't you understand the principle that the uncle is supreme and the filial son cannot rise? Do you have any manners left?"
Zhunti finally appeared within the Lingshan Array, "Rulai is dead, cease your glib tongue."
"Oh my." Tang An covered her mouth in surprise, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it, I reduced your Rulai Fozu to ashes."
"Since the uncle is here, but the child is gone, then let it be."
"But you are all from Lingshan, why don't you come and kneel to greet the uncle in Rulai's stead?"
"Tang An!"
Zhunti had thought before coming that he must not be provoked by Tang An again. But she could always make people lose their heads with just a few words.
"Hey, Rulai's uncle's master is listening." Tang An was clearly in a very good mood.
"Do not bully people too much! Do you really want to defy the Heavenly Dao and occupy my Lingshan today?"
"Do you really think you are strong enough to kill a Saint and force the Heavenly Dao to concede?"
Tang An shrugged, "Don't say that, I may not dare to say much else, but I do have this beautiful quality of self-confidence."
Zhunti sneered, "If you weren't relying on the Saint behind you, do you really think you have the capital to clamor under my hand?"
Tang An also laughed, "You are truly shameless. At least I am relying on a Saint. And you? You are a Saint yourself; aren't you ashamed to bully the weak with your strength?"
Zhunti's expression paused as he heard Jieyin's voice transmission.
"Do not fall for her tricks; she is provoking you to come out. Ignore her, do not let her affect your Dao Heart."
"This array guards Lingshan; as long as we ignore them, they cannot easily break the array."
"As long as Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taiqing Shengren take action, that will be a battle of Saints. They cannot kill a Saint, the Heavenly Dao will not allow it, and they have to consider the safety of the Three Realms."
In short, as long as they hid in this turtle shell, Tang An could do nothing to them for the time being.
After Zhunti responded to the voice transmission, he stopped speaking and returned to the void.
Tang An saw that they intended to push the utility of the turtle shell to the extreme, "Fine, since you are happy to be shrinking turtles, I am happy to accommodate you for once."
"I will not let the Saints break the array; such a good opportunity for sharpening a blade, I cannot waste it."
"Chenxiang."
"Here, Godmother."
"According to what your grand-uncle-master taught you, mobilize the power of the Immortal Pill in your body to circulate through your meridians and try splitting the mountain."
"It doesn't matter if you can't split it; we will split it slowly, we have plenty of time."
Tang An turned around and sat on a luxurious golden throne transformed from the Merit Golden Brick, with auspicious clouds swirling around it.
She leaned against the back of the golden throne, resting her chin on her left arm, crossing her legs, her posture was lazy and domineering.
"Okay."
Chenxiang held the repaired Opening Heaven Axe and spat on his hands twice.
Seeing this, the Jinbao Sword had past memories surge up, and the blade hummed as it darted out of Tang An's body, unable to resist complaining.
"You truly are the child you raised."
Thinking of the scene where Tang An once got a hilt-full of spit on it, it still felt a chill of disgust.
On the other side, Chenxiang had already learned to utilize the power of the Immortal Pill and lifted the Opening Heaven Axe.
The light of the Opening Heaven Axe shone brilliantly, but it was a pity that it had not yet recognized a master, so it could not unleash the power left behind by the great god Pangu.
"The Opening Heaven Axe?!"
The Two Sages of the West appeared one after another above Lingshan, and when they saw the Opening Heaven Axe hacking down, their brains went numb.
No, what happened?
It would be one thing if the Kaishan Axe were in Yang Jian's hands, but how could the Opening Heaven Axe be in the hands of a child like Chenxiang?
Chenxiang might not be able to unleash the power left behind by the great god Pangu, but that did not at all hinder them, as Saints, from sensing the aura of the great god Pangu.
"Is it the Heavenly Dao's instruction?" Zhunti immediately felt something was wrong.
If the Heavenly Dao had given them the Opening Heaven Axe and instructed them to break through Lingshan, then Lingshan being breached today was merely a matter of time, nothing more.
But why would the Heavenly Dao want to destroy Lingshan? Why would it give them the Opening Heaven Axe?
Jieyin was more composed than Zhunti, "It should not be the Heavenly Dao's instruction; perhaps there is some other hidden reason."
If it were the Heavenly Dao's instruction, the Opening Heaven Axe should have appeared in Tang An's hands.
But now, the Opening Heaven Axe is in the hands of a child, and since the Innate Supreme Treasure has not recognized a master, it shows it was not bestowed by the Heavenly Dao.
"Then what should we do? Just let them use the Lingshan Array as a whetstone for a child to practice with?"
Zhunti could not bear the humiliation; what was being lost now was not just the face of Lingshan, but the face of the Two Sages themselves. "Are we really going to sit here and wait for death?"
"How about you and I take action to seize the Opening Heaven Axe first?"
