Chapter 294: Anomalies Fill the Sky

The contest surrounding the Tiandao Heavenly Core erupted with a thunderous blast in a dead‑silence‑like hush!

No one shouted, yet countless living beings' eyes were instantly ignited by yearning and resolve, like a wildfire.

Bei Huangyu struck first!

His divine light surged skyward, as if igniting a blinding sun!

Behind him, the Void thundered open, and a towering divine king phantom, clad in ancient divine armor, suddenly manifested!

The king's visage was vague, but a pair of eyes, molten gold, radiated supreme authority that surveyed the ten thousand realms and judged all beings.

It stood with feet on the Star River, hands cradling sun and moon, enveloped in the nascent Chaos breath; the moment it appeared, a terrifying pressure, solid as a mountain, crushed outward in all directions, causing many nearby beings to spew blood and be flung away.

This is the ultimate activation of Bei Huangyu's divine king body, manifesting the Tiandao anomaly of the divine king confronting the Nine Heavens!

The divine king phantom extended its massive, rune‑etched palm, bearing the bearing of plucking stars and seizing the moon, and seized directly for the Tiandao Heavenly Core at the heart of the Chaos vortex!

At the same time, the other Heavenly Prides naturally refused to lag behind.

"Amitabha! This object is fated to my Buddha."

Almost simultaneously, the Heavenly Buddha Son murmured the Buddha's name, his countenance dignified and radiant.

He sat cross‑legged in the Void, a pure, flawless halo of wisdom Buddha light blossomed behind his head, gently yet firmly repelling the divine king's pressure.

Above his head, a massive Buddha phantom slowly coalesced.

The Buddha displayed a subtle state of neither‑being‑nor‑non‑being, its visage compassionate and void, as if encompassing three thousand great worlds.

The Buddha's palm opened, and a tiny Swastika Buddhist Seal in its center slowly rotated, emitting a vast vow to purify all and ferry the suffering across the sea of woes.

The Buddha's palm also reached out, not to seize but with a gentle guiding force, as if to draw the Tiandao Heavenly Core into the Buddha Realm's pure land.

Roar—!

Dragon Chant shakes the nine heavens!

Duan Tianhuang strode like a dragon and tiger; with a single step, his imperial Dao dragon Qi surged like a breached flood, raging and surging!

Behind him, Chaos Qi was torn asunder, and a Nine Heavens True Dragon phantom, its scales fierce and horns towering, roared as it rose into the air!

The true dragon was vast and majestic; each scale was distinct, glinting with a cold metallic sheen, its dragon eyes like two burning suns, its Dragon Might overwhelming, pressing the Space itself into a lament.

This is Duan Tianhuang's Dao, the manifestation of his supreme imperial Dao dragon Qi as the 'Nine Heavens True Dragon Dao Image'!

The true dragon extended its claw, tearing Chaos, bearing an overbearing will to rule the world and command all spirits, boldly seizing the Tiandao Heavenly Core!

"Hehe, such a supreme relic as the Tiandao Heavenly Core still warrants my contest..."

Sheng Xuanyi spoke lightly, his tone even, yet his eyes gleamed with sharpness, his movements decisive, and a heart‑stopping power erupted with a thunderous blast!

Behind him, Guangying twisted, and a vague gray‑cloaked phantom silently materialized.

The phantom was exceedingly dim, as if it could dissolve at any moment into the Chaos Qi; its features and form were indistinct, yet an indescribable sacred and transcendent aura spread outward.

This sacred gray‑shadow Tiandao anomaly, mysterious and terrifying, formed its own domain with every motion, its might shaking the ten directions!

The four supreme demonic anomalies spanned the sky like four immortal Divine Mountains, encircling the Tiandao Heavenly Core at the center, each emitting a distinct yet equally earth‑shaking Dao Rhythm, frantically vying for control of the Chaos vortex, attempting to draw the Tiandao Heavenly Core into their own Dao realms.

Divine light, Buddha radiance, dragon Qi, and gray shadows collided fiercely, annihilating and intertwining, turning the area into a law‑chaotic, energy‑raging abyss where ordinary beings die upon approach!

The other Heavenly Prides also let out shouts and roars.

"All or nothing! The Tiandao lies ahead; we cannot retreat!"

"Manifest the Dao image! Fight for that sliver of opportunity!"

"Ahhh! I refuse to believe it!"

Stirred by the stimulus of these four supreme anomalies and the incomparable lure of the Tiandao Heavenly Core, the other beings within the cave, though slightly weaker yet still worthy of being a Heavenly Pride, went utterly mad!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

For a moment, the depths of the Dao Tian Wonder Cave exploded like a kaleidoscope!

Countless Tiandao anomalies of varied forms and strengths sprouted like bamboo after rain, illuminating the chaotic land with bizarre brilliance, boiling to the extreme!

A Sword Cultivator manifested a thousand‑zhang great sword behind his back, its sword Qi cleaving the heavens; a Body Cultivator formed a wild giant, feet on the earth, shoulders bearing the sky; a Beast‑taming master unleashed a hundred beast phantoms roaring and galloping; and others conjured ancient stars, nether ghost labyrinths, splendid rivers and mountains... These myriad anomalies, encompassing all, are the condensation and manifestation of these Heavenly Prides' lifelong Dao paths!

The lights of countless anomalies intertwined, energy surged tumultuously, law fragments scattered and danced, turning the entire depths of the Dao Tian Wonder Cave into a bizarre, law‑chaotic ocean of Energy Storm.

Roars, the explosive sounds of divine powers colliding, the wails of anomalies shattering, and the low thunder of churned Chaos Qi converged into a frantic, tragic battle hymn for the Dao!

Every being fought desperately, burning potential, squeezing their souls, all to seize the fleeting, almost nonexistent chance within the gaps of the four demonic giants, to touch the Tiandao Heavenly Core that is both within reach and yet unattainable!

At the instant when ten thousand Dao cries, anomalies boiled, and chaos and clamor peaked—

Buzz!

Ye Wuque...... finally moved!
