Chapter 231: The Kongtong Seal Appears, Heaven and Earth Tremble

Shouyang Mountain.

"Boom—"

A terrifying collision is erupting!

The Tribulation Cloud, covering ten thousand miles, has unleashed an endless Fire Disaster, currently lashing fiercely against the Zhou Tian Star Formation set up by the Human Race, attempting to annihilate this group of arrogant humans who have provoked the Heavenly Dao.

The might of the Heavenly Tribulation is becoming increasingly terrifying; the power of the Heavenly Tribulation carried by this wave of Fire Disaster is as violent and fierce as the power to destroy the world.

However, under the operation of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, these Heavenly Tribulation forces are dispersed and guided, then jointly borne by many Human Race powerhouses, allowing the Human Race to barely withstand it.

But just when everyone thought it could continue like this, the Heavenly Tribulation suddenly became even more violent, as if the Heavenly Dao felt the Human Race's provocation toward it and decided to impose a more severe punishment.

The Tribulation Cloud churned, and the terrifying power of the Heavenly Tribulation gathered even more crazily.

Just at this moment, the Demon Race in the Outer Space, under the leadership of Taiyi, exerted their full strength to drive the Zhou Tian Star Formation, attempting to snatch back the Star Power borrowed by the Human Race.

"Hum!"

The Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Demon Race unleashed their Supernatural Powers one after another, combining them with the power of the Chaos Bell, attempting to interfere with the operation of the Human Race's array.

Above Shouyang Mountain, the previously stable Zhou Tian Star Formation suddenly showed fluctuations, and then, under the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation, it vibrated violently, with even many places appearing to have loopholes, leaking out a great deal of flames.

For a time, the Human Race powerhouses felt unprecedented pressure.

Although they were resisting the Fire Disaster in a rush while also doing their utmost to maintain the operation of the array, the double pincer attack from the Heavenly Tribulation and the Demon Race suddenly pushed them to the edge of life and death.

Duobao and the others, seeing this scene from afar, were also startled.

Guangchengzi could not help but shake his head and said, "Sure enough, this suicidal method of Lu Yun's is destined to fail in the end."

The Nanji Immortal nodded in agreement and even revealed a look of pity: "It's just a pity for this group of humans, having finally reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage. A pity, a pity!"

How could the others around them not hear that they were wishing for Lu Yun's side to fail?

After all, none of them had reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage; if this group of humans, who were originally just ants to them, were to get ahead of them instead, wouldn't that be outrageous?

However, others had different views.

Yunxiao suddenly said, "That may not be so! Look, Senior Lu Yun is still very calm even now; clearly, he had anticipated this long ago!"

Qiongxiao agreed and said, "Sister is right! I think he must have been prepared as well!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Yun in unison, and sure enough, they found Lu Yun's expression indifferent, as if everything were under his control.

Although Guangchengzi, the Nanji Immortal, and the others did not quite believe that Lu Yun could really have any solution, thinking of Lu Yun's various performances in the past, they did not continue to be stubborn.

Xuandu, who was among the crowd, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he was also a part of the Human Race and naturally did not want to see his fellow humans get into trouble.

In the distance, Lu Yun stood outside the array, looking up at the firmament, his eyes like torches as he watched the movements in the starry sky.

He had long anticipated that the Demon Race would take action, so he had already made preparations. As his thoughts stirred, those Primordial Avatars that were originally hidden in the dark played their part once again.

One could see these avatars of his each displaying their Supernatural Powers, manipulating the Star Power with exquisite techniques; they shuttled through the array, competing with the Demon Race for the Star Power.

The avatars seemed to have merged with the stars in the Outer Space, able to perceive the pulse of every star, thereby guiding the purest Star Power to bolster the Human Race's array.

"Hum!"

With the help of the Primordial Avatars, the Human Race regained a great deal of Star Power, making the Zhou Tian Star Formation stable once again, emitting a brilliant light, and finally resisting the impact of this wave of Heavenly Tribulation.

After blocking the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu Yun immediately directed the Human Race's Great Luo Golden Immortals: "Quickly take out the Spirit Fruit and pills to consume, to help with recovery!"

This group of Great Luo Golden Immortals followed his words and took out many Spirit Fruits and pills.

These items were naturally prepared for them by Lu Yun in advance before he brought them out to undergo the Tribulation.

Some were purchased from the Points Mall, and others were the produce of his Qiankun World.

Even Duobao and the others, who were ten thousand miles away, could see from afar that the items these Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals brought out were all good things! For a time, they were also filled with envy.

Even as disciples of Saints, they could not be certain if they would have so many supplies to replenish themselves when they underwent the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation.

In the Outer Space.

"Lu Yun! Damn it!"

Taiyi roared in anger, yet he was powerless to do anything.

He had already driven the Chaos Bell to its limit, but relying on himself alone, he truly could not contend with those twelve avatars of Lu Yun.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that these twelve avatars of Lu Yun were not essentially living beings, so even though they joined the Zhou Tian Star Formation set up by the Human Race, they did not suffer any additional attacks from the Heavenly Tribulation.

It was as if they were merely twelve powerful Spiritual Treasures! But these avatars of Lu Yun were clearly much more troublesome than Spiritual Treasures! In the current situation, Taiyi was also helpless and could only continue to contend with Lu Yun, while hoping that his brother Di Jun and other high-level Demon Race members would hurry back.

Only with the help of others would this struggle have any chance of victory.

Fortunately, the speed at which Di Jun and the others were traveling was indeed not slow.

Just as the Tribulation Cloud over Shouyang Mountain was about to unleash a new wave of Heavenly Tribulation, Di Jun and the others finally rushed back to the Outer Space.

Taiyi was overjoyed: "Brother, you have finally arrived!"

Di Jun asked, "Taiyi, we aren't late, are we?"

Taiyi said, "No, now is the perfect time. You all must strike together; we shall completely blockade the Outer Space and let these humans all be reduced to ashes!"

Di Jun nodded and immediately directed the Ten Great Demon Sages and other Demon Race powerhouses to enter the Demon Race's array.

He himself directly sacrificed the River Chart and Luo Book.

With their addition, the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation became even more complete and powerful, but they did not rush to strike, instead preparing to launch a surprise attack at the most critical moment for the Human Race's Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Shouyang Mountain.

The new wave of Heavenly Tribulation finally descended.

This time, what appeared was a boundless Water Disaster! "Boom—" The tide of the Water Disaster surged in.

Above the firmament, the Tribulation Cloud churned, and endless water vapor turned into giant waves, as if a Heavenly River had burst its banks, plunging straight down. Every wave contained the power to destroy the world, as if it wanted to swallow up Shouyang Mountain and all living things around it.

Although the three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Human Race used the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation to disperse a portion of the Heavenly Tribulation's power, they still felt immense pressure when facing such a terrifying Water Disaster.

Just as the Human Race was struggling to resist this terrifying Water Disaster, Di Jun and the others in the Outer Space finally made their move.

"Now is the time!"

Utilizing the power of the River Chart, the Luo Book, and the Chaos Bell, they exerted their full strength to drive the Zhou Tian Star Formation, attempting to seize back the Star Power in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Human Race's defenses.

"Crack! Crack..."

Following this move by Di Jun and his group, the formation currently being operated by the Human Race nearly collapsed directly.

Many Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals were instantly swallowed by the Water Disaster, falling to the brink of life and death. Their figures swayed within the water waves, as if they would be swallowed by the endless torrent at any moment.

Below, although the more than fourteen thousand Human Race Taiyi Golden Immortals were cooperating with all their might, the might of the Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying, and they also began to feel overwhelmed; the formation began to show countless cracks, and the Star Power leaked out, making the already difficult resistance even harder.

Everyone who was watching this could not help but break into a cold sweat for this group of humans.

Just at this moment, they discovered that those avatars of Lu Yun were each bringing out pieces of Spiritual Treasure one after another.

First, the Five Elements Avatar Lu Wuxing brought out the twelve-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, driving the Great Dao Law of Fire, directly allowing the defense of the Karma Fire Red Lotus to envelop all the Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals, blocking the impact of the Water Disaster for them.

For a time, the pressure on the Human Race Great Luo Golden Immortals was sharply reduced.

But even the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the twelve-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, was teetering after only a moment under the attack of such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

Fortunately, the Martial Dao Avatar Lu Wu followed up with a move.

He brought out the Water Spirit Bead that Lu Yun had obtained from the Dragon Clan, which actually turned the tables and sucked away the torrential Water Disaster, stabilizing the situation once again.

In the Outer Space.

Seeing this scene from afar, Di Jun could not help but sneer: "Even with the Water Spirit Bead, it is impossible to take away all the Water Disaster!"

But the next second, his complexion turned black all at once.

Because he saw Lu Yun's Space Great Dao Avatar Lu Xukong suddenly bring out the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife!

This item was something he had only let Taiyi trade away back then in order to buy Lu Yun's Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Although the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife's primary function was attack, it was not completely unusable for defense.

Moreover, Lu Yun had many other Spiritual Treasures in his hands, such as the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, all of which were being driven by his avatars.

In particular, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, which Lu Yun actually had his Literature Dao Avatar Lu Wen control, forming a coordination with the Water Spirit Bead to continuously draw the Water Disaster into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

For a time, the situation on the Human Race's side was actually stabilized again by sheer force.

Di Jun was furious and directly ordered in a deep voice: "Operate the formation with full strength; do not let them draw even a wisp of Star Power! I want to see if that fellow Lu Yun can still withstand the Heavenly Tribulation after losing the Zhou Tian Star Formation!"

"Yes!"

Once this order was given, the countless Demon Race in the Outer Space also became ruthless; thinking of the times they had been thwarted by Lu Yun before, they all cooperated with full effort.

For a time, the stars shone in the Outer Space.

Even though it was daytime in the Great Desolation, a brilliant starry sky appeared in the firmament, drawing the gaze of countless Great Desolation living beings.

Under the frantic operation of the Demon Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation, the Star Power that the Human Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation above Shouyang Mountain could obtain was indeed becoming less and less.

The originally brilliant starlight gradually dimmed, and the Human Race experts felt the power support becoming weaker and weaker; they had to consume more magic power to maintain the operation of the formation to resist the encroachment of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Di Jun stood in the Outer Space, watching the Human Race's formation gradually weaken, a triumphant smile appearing on his face.

He thought the plan was about to succeed and that the Demon Race would be able to destroy the Human Race's defensive line in one fell swoop, making these arrogant humans who provoked the Heavenly Dao pay a heavy price.

However, just as he was getting carried away, an unexpected change occurred.

Lu Yun stood outside the formation, a firm light flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and suddenly an ancient and imposing Seal appeared in his hand—the Kongtong Seal.

"Go!"

As Lu Yun's mind moved, the Kongtong Seal flew out abruptly and also fell into the Human Race's Zhou Tian Star Formation! Immediately, the Kongtong Seal bloomed with dazzling light, and a majestic force of Human Race Luck erupted instantly, shooting straight into the clouds.

This force of Luck seemed to transform into an invisible barrier, enveloping the entire Human Race formation and providing an endless stream of power support for the Human Race experts within.

Under the blessing of the Kongtong Seal, the originally exhausted Human Race experts were suddenly invigorated; they felt a powerful force pouring into their bodies, as if they had been reborn.

At the same time, the formation on the Human Race's side was once again enhanced; the originally dim starlight became brilliant again, and the Star Power that had been snatched away by the Demon Race actually returned to the Human Race's formation.

"What is that thing?!"

Di Jun was shocked and terrified at the sight; he had never expected that Lu Yun would still have such a trump card.

He roared, attempting to increase the power output of the Demon Race's formation to try and seize back the Star Power. However, the entire Demon Race had already driven their magic power to the limit; at this moment, the Human Race's formation was already incomparably stable under the blessing of the Kongtong Seal, and the Demon Race's power could not shake it in the slightest.

"Unreasonable! Simply unreasonable!"

Di Jun roared angrily, but it was already of no use at this point.

Under the might of the Kongtong Seal, the formation operated by the Human Race glowed with brilliant light once again, successfully resisting the encroachment of the Heavenly Tribulation's Water Disaster. Meanwhile, on the Demon Race's side, due to excessive consumption of power, the formation began to show signs of instability instead.

At the same time, Taishang Laojun, who had been watching the battle from afar, also had his gaze attracted by that ancient Seal.

"That is... a supreme treasure of the Human Race?!"

Taishang Laojun's expression was one of shock; he had never expected that Lu Yun had actually obtained such a thing.

Did this not mean that Lu Yun was already the legitimate Human Emperor?

And at the very moment this thought emerged in Taishang Laojun's heart, Lu Yun suddenly spoke, his voice spreading directly throughout the Great Desolation.

Lu Yun's voice echoed across the Primordial Land like thunder, shaking everyone's soul.

"Let all living beings be the witness; today, I, Lu Yun, with the Human Race Luck as the foundation and the Kongtong Seal as the proof, officially become the Human Saint Emperor, leading my Human Race toward glory!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire Great Desolation was shaken by it. The gazes of countless living beings were focused in the direction of Shouyang Mountain, where a majestic force of Human Race Luck rose into the sky, reflecting the light of the Kongtong Seal, forming a soul-stirring scene.
