Chapter 791: Unpredictable Changes, Arriving One After Another

The Artifact of Creation, the supreme treasure of the ancient Creation Dao.

The massive air currents generated by this ship simply emerging from the void and flying—had Yu Liancheng not resisted them—would likely have caused the Huoluo Imperial Palace to collapse directly.

Before this great warship, all magical artifacts and treasures lost their luster. No matter who saw this ship, they would be plunged into intense mental shock.

Not only is this ship a "reaching the other shore" artifact, but once aboard, even the 129,600-year cycle of birth and destruction is no longer to be feared. It is also a notoriously fierce weapon of slaughter, brimming with killing intent; even the Sect Leader of the Supreme Dao from a thousand years ago died at "its" hands. Of course, the Supreme Dao's brutal retaliation also caused the Creation Dao to become extinct, its lineage severed.

This Artifact of Creation.

It is a true King of Divine Artifacts, sufficient to rival the Supreme Dao's Eternal Kingdom.

Such a divine artifact should not exist in this world at all; it is a divine palace that only a God-King who commands the gods of heaven and earth could possess, and it should exist in the Heavens Beyond Heavens.

The descent of the Artifact of Creation into this human world will only trigger extreme imbalance in the world's power, thereby causing a series of disasters.

And now, standing upon the Artifact of Creation are Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, the pair of monarch and subject who trust each other most in all of history.

Yang Pan looked coldly at Yu Liancheng, sneered, and without wasting words, maneuvered the Artifact of Creation to crash directly toward the Imperial Palace.

Boom!!

As a "King of Divine Artifacts," the Artifact of Creation has no peculiar attacks; it is simply a straightforward collision, a crushing!

Although the "Artifact of Creation" is massive, its speed is incredibly fast. It appeared to make only a slight turn, yet it had already distorted space and advanced over a hundred miles. In just an instant, it was about to crash into the Imperial Palace, smashing everything within the palace into powder. No matter if they were Human Immortals, Ghost Immortals, or Martial Saints, all would be crushed to death!

"Tathagata Monk's Robe!!"

Just at this moment, a shiny bald head popped out.

The bald man's Qi and Blood were surging like wolf smoke shooting into the sky; it was none other than Jingren Heshang.

After eating Dragon Tooth Rice and encountering other opportunities, this Jingren Heshang had actually reached the Human Immortal realm.

But for a novice Human Immortal to want to contend with the Artifact of Creation is no different from a fool dreaming.

The reason Jingren the Monk could do this was because of the monk's robe draped over his body.

On this monk's robe were countless scriptures, each character extremely tiny, dense and packed, as vast as the sea.

And the scriptures were actually flowing, giving one a feeling of transcendence.

It was as if by wearing this monk's robe, one could traverse the heavens and earth, be Carefree in the world, and transcend the material realm.

This was the supreme treasure of the former Great Zen Temple, the Tathagata Monk's Robe.

Over a year ago, Yu Liancheng had retrieved this monk's robe from the ruins of the Great Zen Temple. After comprehending the mysteries within the Tathagata Monk's Robe, he bestowed it upon Jingren the Monk. After all, over these past three years, Jingren the Monk had contributed much by suppressing the constant rebellions in the Western Regions' Zhiguo, and this monk's robe originally belonged to the Great Zen Temple.

At this moment, the Tathagata Monk's Robe flew off Jingren the Monk's body, suddenly expanding, growing in the wind to form a curtain that covered the sky and earth, and it actually blocked the Artifact of Creation head-on, colliding with it.

Rip!

As the Artifact of Creation struck the Tathagata Monk's Robe, it quickly emitted a sound like tearing silk.

Jingren the Monk's expression changed, and he infused his entire body's massive Qi and Blood into the Tathagata Monk's Robe to repair the cracks.

But the ripping sounds were incessant, and the sky-curtain condensed by the Tathagata Monk's Robe was finally completely shattered by the "Artifact of Creation."

The Tathagata Monk's Robe is also known as a "reaching the other shore" artifact, which can be used to cross to the other shore. But in this contest with the Artifact of Creation, it ended in total defeat. The power of the King of Divine Artifacts cannot be underestimated.

The entire monk's robe shrank and drifted down, caught in Jingren the Monk's hand, but no matter how he channeled his magic power, it was just like an ordinary monk's robe, unable to erupt with transcendent power again.

It was because the monk's robe had consumed too much in that one moment; it was as if a person had become exhausted, their stamina spent, and it would take a long time to recover.

The Artifact of Creation continued its collision.

And it was at this moment.

Yu Liancheng flicked his sleeve, and the Ancient Rashomon descended.

This Ancient Rashomon was likewise a supreme magical treasure, and over these past three years, it had integrated magical treasures like the Universe Cloth Bag. Although it could not compare to the Artifact of Creation now, it was not far behind; after all, the Artifact of Creation before them was not in a perfect state and had not been restored to its peak.

The Ancient Rashomon swung open with a boom, and invisible force surged out from within the gate, compressing space.

Space fluctuated violently, changing drastically and solidifying. The originally loose space was now as solid as a diamond, and the power of space was constantly folded and reorganized, just like folding and forging steel when sharpening a blade.

In this solidified space, every inch the Artifact of Creation advanced consumed massive amounts of power, and its speed grew slower and slower.

Finally, the power of this collision from the Artifact of Creation was exhausted, and it stopped a hundred feet above the Huoluo Imperial Palace, completely obscuring the sunlight like a dark cloud pressing down, causing an involuntary feeling of intense oppression.

"You beast, this is your last chance."

On the Artifact of Creation, Yang Pan's voice rolled out, resounding across the earth like thunder: "You have only two choices now: either be crushed to pieces, or completely open your heart and mind and submit to Me."

Yang Pan stood with his hands behind his back, confident and composed, as if everything were under his control.

Both he and Hong Xuanji possessed strength comparable to the materialization of fist intent, and they had this Artifact of Creation that could crush everything.

Coupled with using Gongyang Yu to hold back that mysterious Human Immortal powerhouse, leaving this obstacle without reinforcements and forced to fight alone, everything was a foregone conclusion.

He now wanted to see this obstacle's final struggle.

He knew the Champion Marquis would never bow his head.

And once he bowed his head, it would mean he was not the Champion Marquis.

"To say such things, was your head kicked by a donkey?"

Yu Liancheng looked at Yang Pan with a surprised expression!

He naturally knew the thoughts of this convenient father.

"Champion Marquis, you are also a prince of my Great Gan who has expanded the territory, how can you not know etiquette? Upon seeing the Emperor, not only do you not pay respects, but you speak wild words. Do you not know that as long as one is human, one understands etiquette and knows of Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Kin, and Teacher? Only uncivilized beasts do not know etiquette; are you also a beast?"

Hong Xuanji sneered.

He came today not only to crush Yu Liancheng physically but also to reaffirm his own Neo-Confucian ideology and fundamentally cast Yu Liancheng into the abyss.

"I think your head is sick too." Yu Liancheng flicked his sleeve and said indifferently: "The reason people are loyal to a monarch is because the monarch possesses beautiful virtues. If one is loyal to a monarch simply for the sake of loyalty, that is blind loyalty, that is being a fool. 'Let the ruler be a ruler, the subject a subject, the father a father, the son a son.' If the ruler is not a ruler, why should the subject be a subject? If the father is not a father, why should the son be a son? Your so-called Three Bonds and Five Constants are merely cold rules used to bind hypocrisy, used to maintain your own rule."

"Since Yang Pan wants to kill me, a great meritorious official who has expanded the territory, then he is not a wise monarch, but a dim-witted one. A dim-witted monarch only harms the common people, and everyone has the right to punish him. The reason such a dim-witted monarch appears is mostly because of treacherous villains like you. Even if you didn't come looking for me today, I would still 'rectify the monarch's side' and throw you, Hong Xuanji, into the Tianlao."

The corners of Hong Xuanji's mouth twitched.

Yang Pan was even more furious: "You beast, you have truly lost your conscience, not even acknowledging Me, the Emperor. Today is your death day!"

Following a roar from this Great Gan Emperor.

The Artifact of Creation was driven once more.

Amidst the infinite rumbling, it crashed toward the Imperial Palace.

Even if Yu Liancheng had the strength to dodge this impact, the entire Daluo Imperial Palace would be smashed to pieces. As for the experts hiding within the Daluo Imperial Palace, it was feared that more than half would be killed or injured.

Boom!!

The Ancient Rakshasa Gate once again solidified the void.

However, under the full-force impact of the Artifact of Creation, this was difficult to be effective this time, at most only slowing the speed of the Artifact of Creation slightly.

But in the end, the Artifact of Creation still crashed into the Ancient Rakshasa Gate.

Although the Ancient Rakshasa Gate was also a divine artifact, it was not, after all, a King of Divine Artifacts, so how could it contend with the Artifact of Creation?

Under the violent impact of the Artifact of Creation, cracks appeared on the Ancient Rakshasa Gate; had Yu Liancheng not withdrawn the Ancient Rakshasa Gate in time, it would likely have been smashed to pieces.

Hum hum!!

Yu Liancheng tapped his toes and shot toward the Artifact of Creation.

At the same time, his arms rose high, his five fingers clenched into a fist seal, and he smashed out a punch with a boom.

The moment this punch was thrown, the heavens and earth changed color.

A fist intent as vast as a galaxy rose, and a massive wheel seal ascended, instantly growing to the size of a thousand zhang, like a Divine Mountain.

Amidst the trembling and roaring of the countless living beings in his acupuncture points, the giant wheel seal rotated and smashed toward the Artifact of Creation. Within that terrifying rotating sound, it actually faintly carried the sound of countless stars exploding.

This strike was not only the Heavens Life and Death Wheel, but it also fused the mysteries of the Three Realms Origin Qi Cannon.

Boom!

Boom!!

The giant wheel and the Artifact of Creation collided together.

Pieces of the void collapsed in succession. The terrifying fluctuations were earth-shattering.

Jingren Heshang, the Moon Goddess, and others joined forces to set up a great formation in the Imperial Palace, which allowed the Imperial Palace not to be torn apart in the aftermath.

Crack, crack.

An astonishing shattering sound rang out, cracks appeared on the giant wheel seal, and Yu Liancheng's face turned pale. The power of that Artifact of Creation was indeed too terrifying.

Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji had just revealed expressions of joy when their smiles instantly froze. Because they heard the sound of cracking again, and the cracking sound was clearly coming from the Artifact of Creation; one could even see huge, pitch-black cracks on the front of the Artifact of Creation.

Under a head-on collision between the Artifact of Creation and Yu Liancheng, was it actually a mutual destruction?

Even if this was only a broken Artifact of Creation, it was enough to make people's jaws drop.

"Evil obstacle, die for me!!" Yang Pan gritted his teeth and frantically drove the Artifact of Creation regardless of everything.

With a "boom," the "Heavens Life and Death Wheel" finally shattered, and Yu Liancheng was knocked back over a hundred zhang, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Evil obstacle, you are indeed unexpected; I never thought your strength would actually reach this point." Yang Pan flashed a look of wariness; the strength of this evil obstacle far exceeded his imagination. Fortunately, he had set up the trap in advance; otherwise, if a few more years had passed, there truly would have been no one who could control this evil obstacle.

"However, you must die today!"

The Artifact of Creation crashed violently.

The momentum of this impact seemed as if it would smash through the heavens and earth, the Great Thousand World, all kinds of spaces, and any divine ability.

Whether human, ghost, immortal, or God, no matter what kind of expert, under this impact, they would all die.

Even Jingren Heshang and the others could not help but worry for Yu Liancheng.

"Meng Shenji, if you don't make a move now, when will you?!"

Yu Liancheng, however, did not have the slightest look of panic and suddenly let out a loud shout.

"Haha, not bad, now is indeed the best time to strike."

Just at this moment, a hearty laugh came from the void.

A magic treasure floated out from the void.

This magic treasure was a semi-circular object, with swirling clouds, dark above and yellow below, round above and square below.

Heaven is dark and Earth is yellow, Heaven is round and Earth is square.

Just a fleeting glance was enough to see the power of this magic treasure and the profound concept it represented.

And the person standing in the magic treasure was Meng Shenji, known as the number one person in the world, his clothes fluttering and snapping in the wind.

Recognizing Meng Shenji, combined with the unique shape of this magic treasure, it was naturally not hard to guess that this was the King of Divine Artifacts of the Supreme Dao—the Eternal Kingdom.

"Yang Pan, let us continue the struggle between the Artifact of Creation and the Eternal Kingdom, and see who is the true King of Divine Artifacts."

Under Meng Shenji's control, the Eternal Kingdom slammed into the Artifact of Creation.

Boom!!

Boom boom boom!!

A thunderous explosion rang out.

It was like the sound of an explosion at the beginning of the chaos of heaven and earth.

Both the Eternal Kingdom and the Artifact of Creation were incomplete and had not fully recovered. Moreover, these two Kings of Divine Artifacts could only fully exert their power at the realm of Yang God or Broken Vacuum.

The original power of the two Kings of Divine Artifacts was equivalent, but the Artifact of Creation had previously consumed a lot of power and was even broken by Yu Liancheng, so now it was completely inferior to the Eternal Kingdom.

Coupled with the fact that the Eternal Kingdom was a sneak attack, hitting the weakest part of the Artifact of Creation, it immediately caused at least fifty percent of the Artifact of Creation's hull to shatter and scatter downward.

The huge explosive power caused the Qi and Blood of Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji inside the Artifact of Creation to vibrate, causing them to vomit blood directly; the power of their physical bodies and souls was almost destroyed, and they were sent flying backward by the remnants of the Artifact of Creation. "Haha, from now on, only the Eternal Kingdom is worthy of being called the King of Divine Artifacts."

Meng Shenji's eyes lit up instantly, and he controlled the Eternal Kingdom to generate a powerful devouring force, swallowing four or five percent of the Artifact of Creation's wreckage in one go, and then, amidst Meng Shenji's laughter, the Eternal Kingdom tore through the void and disappeared.

Not long after the Eternal Kingdom disappeared, a figure as burly as a Demon God came from afar amidst continuous air explosions, his aura rolling and incredibly powerful; it was Haotian Jinzhang.

A very important reason why Meng Shenji withdrew and left in time was that he sensed the appearance of Haotian Jinzhang.

And with the appearance of Haotian Jinzhang, the fate of Gongyang Yu and the others naturally went without saying.

With the appearance of Haotian Jinzhang, the situation that had already changed began to tilt.

Yu Liancheng looked at the remaining hull and the shaken Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji inside the hull, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Now it is a fair two-on-two, so, Imperial Father, Wuwen Marquis... are you ready to die?"
