Chapter 1017: Chapter 78: The Disk [2-in-1]

"Heh."

In response to the threat of the Western Sea Divine Phoenix, Ancestor Tian Xing only replied with a cold laugh.

The fact was indeed as such. Although Limiters could show great prowess when they fully exerted themselves, in terms of pure combat power, the Eighth Realm combined with a Divine Artifact to form the slash at Tianyuan, was overall higher than that of a Limiter.

Originally, the Underworld King Sect Master, who was ranked last among the super Divine Artifacts with Ksitigarbha’s True Body, seemed to be evenly matched in a brief exchange with Baize. But if he hadn’t been wary of other members of the Righteous Path coming to support, and had fought head-on, Baize would likely have been forced to retreat.

After all, the status of a Limiter was just that, a state, and not an indication that one’s power had reached a level that could truly dominate above the Half-Eighth Realm.

So now, with Ancestor Tian Xing in possession of two Divine Artifacts from his lineage, whether it’s the Tianshu Pavilion’s Seven-Star Divine Sword or the Heavenly King Sect’s Wang Jiang astrolabe, both were among the top-ranked in the Divine Artifacts, not to mention the quantity of Eighth Realm cultivators owned by the two Nine Heavens Immortal Sects.

The power he commanded could only be described as a tier above the rest.

The original Tianshu Pavilion and Heavenly King Sect might not have been so united, but as soon as Ancestor Tian Xing emerged from seclusion, the two, including other members of the Tianxing Lineage, immediately unified.

It had always been this way.

When the godly fall and the heavens and earth open opportunities through the Mysterious Pathway, the subordinates of Limiters would immediately gather a flock of creatures eager to ascend to heaven. Everyone knew that the Mortal Realm’s framework would change with the birth of a new Godly being, and each had their own thoughts, wanting to unite around a Limiter with whom they had close relations.

Take the Western Sea Divine Phoenix, for example, who was supposed to be without its own forces, yet countless Demon Beasts have flocked to her name in recent days. It’s just that due to the pride of the Phoenix Clan and unfamiliarity with strange Demon Beasts, the Divine Phoenix herself did not pay attention to these Demon Beasts. The reason for recalling Crown Prince Huang Yang was to manage this massive group. Without proper control, it wouldn’t just be a question of how much they could help but could absolutely turn the entire Western Sea upside down.

On the side of Southern Sea Ancestor Wu Chao, all the gathered forces were Sea Demons, with the Ruins Sea Clan already strictly following the ancestor’s orders. Nowadays, Sea Demons from all four seas tend to flock towards the Southern Sea. Over the past few days, looking down from high in the sky at the sea path between the East and West Seas, one could see a dark mass of Sea Demon shadows.

There’s no need to mention Ancestor Tian Xing’s situation. Today, he is regarded as the hope of the Human Clan, a Limiter endorsed by various Immortal Sect Leaders.

Venerable Baize of Shu Mountain was in a somewhat awkward position because she was backed by the power of the Human Clan, which had been inseparable from Shu Mountain for thousands of years. Thus, while Demonic Clans might feel a kinship towards her, they also dared not come to seek refuge. The Human Clan would not oppose her for Shu Mountain’s sake, but neither would they offer support.

Consequently, she became everyone’s second choice, as if there was a tacit agreement to forget about her.

Venerable Wanfa’s situation was unique. Originally, he should have been a choice for part of the Human Clan, given his high esteem, but the Imperial Court’s widespread announcement of his collaboration with the Heavenly Demon that almost destroyed Yu Capital City, made most people maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

Among these supporters, the combat power that could help Limiters naturally lies in Divine Artifacts and the Eighth Realm, and in either respect, Ancestor Tian Xing, who has received the Immortal Sects’ endorsement, is the strongest.

The Tianxing Lineage might have their own plans and would not hand over Divine Artifacts to him, but helping him in battle was definitely not a problem.

Indeed, at the moment the Divine Phoenix’s fiery clouds pressed forward, the Wang Jiang astrolabe had already risen from within the Heavenly King Sect’s mountain gate!

...

"Kraah—"

A piercing and heaven-shaking screech arose from the Western Sea. Amidst the billowing flames, the true form of the Divine Phoenix revealed itself. Each feather shimmered with golden light, filled with a spirituality glow, its wings unfurled in a cascade of dazzling colors, and its eyes seemed to hold two Solar orbs, with long tail feathers brimming with the beauty of creation.

The Divine Phoenix, by nature, represented extreme beauty in the world.

Their pride in their lineage could match that of the Real Dragons, but because they had never had a Godly being of their own race, their influence in this realm was far less than that of the Dragon Race.

This time, the Divine Phoenix intended to fight for a divine title on behalf of the Phoenix Clan, to shine the light of the blazing sun upon the heavens and earth!

But the twinkling galaxy of silver stars rolling in that bright and clear sky completely blocked the path of the fiery clouds. As long as Ancestor Tian Xing stood firm over Xizhou, it would be impossible for his Dao to break through.

Underneath the stars, Wenren Yue ascended with the Wang Jiang astrolabe and the great forces of the Heavenly King Sect. Since this battle was on home ground, all the mighty ones of the Heavenly King Sect took their places on the astrolabe, assuming their star positions, currently in the strongest form of the Wang Jiang astrolabe!

The Western Sea Divine Phoenix herself didn’t strike first, but instead protected by a shield of fiery clouds, a myriad of fiery meteors paved the way, followed immediately by countless of Demon Beasts landing from the Western Sea!

"Roar—"

The Demon Beasts roared like a tsunami, with peculiar howls, charging together along the coast onto Xizhou’s mainland.

"Western Sea Divine Phoenix, you have always kept to yourself. Even if you fail in the struggle for the Dao, I will not harm your life." But if you allow Demon Beasts to create chaos throughout the Nine States and harm innocent civilians, then I will have to make a move against you," Ancestor Tian Xing warned sternly in his white robe, dancing in the sky.

Right now, the population of Xizhou was dense, with people from all directions gathered to make a pilgrimage to him. If the Demon Beasts broke through, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The battle for the Mysterious Pathway has always been a fight to the death, with no room for retreat," the voice of the Western Sea Divine Phoenix thundered, setting the fiery clouds rolling, "Only by moving forward without looking back!"

"You are a Divine Beast with a long life span. If I ascend successfully this time, you can still compete next time," Ancestor Tian Xing advised again, "There’s no need for you to harm the Phoenix Clan just for this one attempt."
