Under the bombardment of the three ancient Great Sages, everything was annihilated. All defensive formations were shattered into nothingness, broken apart, and the Faith Power scattered and dissipated.
Yet their attacks did not cease. At this moment, they fully targeted the Battle Saint King within the Chaos Light Cocoon.
The fifteen Heavenly Kings of the Holy Domain roared with grief and indignation, soaring into the sky, intending to use their own bodies as shields to buy a sliver of opportunity for the Battle Saint King.
This scene was filled with tragic sentiment.
"Hmph, do you think blocking with your bodies will allow him to succeed in his transformation? Ridiculous!"
The ancient Great Sages were utterly indifferent. The Sky-Supporting Great Staff, massive as a pillar holding up the heavens, smashed down directly, obliterating everything in its path, crushing downward.
BOOM—
At this very moment, the void shattered. A withered, large hand stretched out, seemingly slow yet actually swift, clashing head-on with the Sky-Supporting Great Staff, unleashing boundless destructive power.
Within it, a withered figure appeared. He could not be described as burly or tall; his entire body was somewhat gaunt, his hair dry and yellowish. Yet, standing there, he seemed like a stretch of heaven and earth laid across, immovable.
In his hand, he held a peculiar spiked club, covered with numerous imprints—all vivid, lifelike beings, flowing with powerful auras. Among them were not a few Heavenly Kings, all great enemies slain in the past and added to the spiked club, now serving as nourishment for the weapon.
"You have gone too far!"
The moment the withered figure appeared, heaven and earth fell silent. He raised his head and coldly uttered these words, directed at the attacking ancient Great Sages.
The Primordial Times Barbarian Divine King!
At this critical juncture, he had finally arrived as well, holding a spiked club. He was not particularly tall or imposing, yet he caused the three hidden, attacking ancient Great Sages to change their expressions.
For this ancient Great Sage, even in the era of the Ancient Gods, was a figure of great renown among the Great Sages. He was also one who had resisted those who launched the Divine Cataclysm to breach the gates of profound mysteries. Bearing the title of Divine King, he appeared withered but had walked a path similar to the Battle Saint King's Great Dao—both were beings with supremely powerful physical bodies.
However, having come this far, the three ancient Great Sages naturally could not give up now. They all manifested, attacking with overwhelming divine might that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, shouting loudly, "Barbarian Divine King, how many do you think you alone can withstand?"
The Primordial Times Barbarian Divine King snorted coldly. His gaunt frame now surged with an aura of world-destroying Great Dao. As he swung the spiked club, it became truly terrifying beyond measure. Rolling divine might of world destruction flowed, meeting the vast sky, seeking to tear apart everything.
In the first instant, the Sky-Supporting Great Staff was struck and collided with by the spiked club. Dazzling divine light erupted between them. The Primordial Times Barbarian Divine King only retreated two steps, while the attacking hostile Great Sage was nearly sent flying backward, gaining no advantage.
One had to marvel at the terrifying brute force of the Primordial Times Barbarian Divine King. Worthy of being called the Barbarian Divine King, this level of physical strength was beyond imagination.
However, seven-colored divine radiance flowed from the seven-colored bells as they descended with a crash.
Moreover, a terrifying arrow shot forth, also swirling with fearsome chaos energy, surging forth to destroy the myriad heavens as it, too, targeted the Chaos Light Cocoon.
The Primordial Times Barbarian Divine King wanted to continue blocking, but the Great Sage wielding the Sky-Supporting Great Staff obstructed him, saying coldly, "Barbarian Divine King, you'd better stay right here."
"How dare you—"
The Primordial Times Barbarian Divine King let out a long roar, his eyes blazing with anger. He swung the spiked club, splitting everything apart with a crash, shaking his opponent back repeatedly, yet finding it difficult to truly drive him away.
His opponent might not be his match, but entangling him was certainly no problem.
"No—"
At this moment, among the Nine Imperial Dynasty Heavenly Kings, the ancestor Heavenly King of the Fengyang Imperial Dynasty soared into the sky. In an instant, his entire body began to burn, sparing nothing to ignite himself.
Burning his physical body, burning his divine soul, exchanging it for the most powerful divine energy—all to briefly elevate himself to his limits as he charged toward the arrow and the seven-colored divine bells.
"Fengyang—"
The remaining six Imperial Dynasty Heavenly Kings cried out in sorrow, filled with grief. The Fengyang Heavenly King was willing to sacrifice himself to allow the Battle Saint King to complete his transformation.
It was also seen that the moment the Fengyang Heavenly King ignited himself, the Chaos Light Cocoon submerged in boundless Faith Power suddenly shone much more brightly. Intense emotional fluctuations transmitted from within, greatly affected.
BOOM—
The Fengyang Heavenly King completely exploded, self-destructing. Surging power swept forth, impacting the two Immortal Ancient Weapons. The terrifying force indeed managed to block the two Immortal Ancient Weapons for a brief moment.
However, that was all. Under the full revival and bombardment of the ancient Great Sages, the Immortal Ancient Weapons were no weaker than true Great Sages, and they descended once more.
At this time, the other Heavenly Kings sensed the fluctuations from within the Chaos Light Cocoon growing much stronger. They were all prepared to block at any cost, to utterly annihilate the Battle Saint King.
"Don't even think about it—"
At this moment, heaven and earth collapsed as more terrifying experts descended. They were reinforcements for the Battle Saint King's side: Xia the Emperor, the Nine Void Divine King, the Thousand Hundred Divine King, and the other former Four Divine Kings. Five ancient Great Sages arrived one after another, rushing directly to the scene to provide resistance.
"Everyone, why not act now? Are you still hesitating, waiting for him to complete his transformation successfully?"
On the opposing side, the ancient Great Sages also shouted loudly. Among them, terrifying auras of Great Sages were released, surging forth, rapidly approaching, shattering everything as they descended.
A full three more ancient Great Sages arrived, all coming to shatter the Battle Saint King's path of transformation.
The ancient Great Sages on both sides engaged in battle. Their numbers were exactly equal—six Great Sages each. However, the opposing side had several times more Heavenly Kings than this side, invisibly creating immense pressure.
Among them, especially the Ancient God Palace Lord and the gray-haired Heavenly King were terrifying Heavenly King figures of unimaginable strength, for whom slaying ordinary Heavenly Kings was a trivial matter.
It was almost a one-sided, overwhelming advantage. However, this was home ground, with the advantage of the massive Faith Power within the divine statues assisting them. Moreover, they were in a defensive posture, all to protect the Chaos Light Cocoon in the center. It was precisely because of this that they were not quickly slaughtered.
RUMBLE—
Among them, one Great Sage made a move, extremely powerful, far stronger than an ordinary Great Sage, swirling with a terrifying aura. He was an Imperial Clan Great Sage.
Only his identity was unknown, his entire body concealed by a special light, his aura likewise obscured. All that was known was his immense strength, invincible wherever he went. He simply struck out with a Myriad Heavens Divine Seal, entwined with the aura of the myriad heavens, bypassing the opposing Great Sages, aiming directly to suppress and kill the Chaos Light Cocoon.
There, Xia the Emperor was the first to act. He manifested the Ice-Fire Great Dao, transforming it into Yin and Yang dragons that coiled around, continuously assaulting.
But this Imperial Clan Great Sage was too strong. With the Myriad Heavens Divine Seal, he directly broke through Xia the Emperor's blockade, charging past and heading straight for the Chaos Light Cocoon.
The Myriad Heavens Divine Seal was a Great Dao artifact, containing infinite power.
