As Taiji Boundless and Miao Rulai made their move, Imperial Lord Fusheng and Great Emperor Changfeng immediately charged forward as well. Following them, Empress Shengniang, Empress Langya, Empress Youming, Empress Wuyue, Empress Tianzong, Demon Emperor Weiyang, Great Emperor Xiaoyao, Great Emperor Kongque, Emperor Fusheng, and even Da Xing the Mad Monk, along with Old Monster Heishan, Patriarch Qingdeng, and Old Ghost Liao'e, all joined the fray.
A great battle erupted in an instant.
All manner of divine abilities, all manner of fortunes, and all manner of magical treasures displayed infinite transformations.
The divine abilities were all supreme divine abilities, the fortunes were all supreme fortunes, and the treasures were the ultimate treasures of the ancient and modern worlds.
Standing within the radiant sun, the Great Sun Radiant Emperor possessed immense immortal majesty, appearing like a celestial immortal.
Every breath he took was filled with light.
Every move he made was profound and mysterious.
Here, he was both the incarnation of the Immortal Dao and the incarnation of light, shining upon heaven and earth, purifying all living beings. No matter how the various supreme divine abilities transformed, they could not shake him in the slightest.
Standing within the sacred sun, Xuanyuan Wuji possessed vast sacred light, appearing like a divine being.
Here, he was both the incarnation of the Sacred Dao and the incarnation of divinity. Every breath he took was filled with primordial qi, and every move he made could blot out the sky and cover the earth. No matter how powerful the various supreme fortunes were, they similarly failed to shake him in the slightest.
Standing within the azure sky's great sun, Dugu Qizhan possessed immense heavenly majesty, appearing like a celestial god. His breath formed wind and clouds, his voice became thunder, and his palms were like mountains. Every move he made was like the collapse of heaven and the rending of earth, dominating all living beings. No matter how powerful the various supreme fortunes were, they likewise failed to shake him in the slightest.
Bang!
Empress Wuyue was sent flying sideways.
Bang! Bang!
Empress Youming, Empress Wuyou, and Empress Tianzong were also sent flying sideways.
Then, Great Emperor Xiaoyao, Demon Emperor Weiyang, Old Monster Heishan, and others were also sent flying sideways.
It was no use!
It was simply no use.
The Great Sun Radiant Emperor, Dugu Qizhan, and Xuanyuan Wuji—these Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars were far too powerful. They represented the sources of the Sacred Dao, the Heavenly Dao, and the Immortal Dao, as well as the Radiant Sun, the Sacred Sun, and the Azure Sky Sun. Their power was vast and boundless, either purifying, adjudicating, or dominating. The various Empresses simply could not shake them.
Looking across the entire scene, only Taiji Boundless, Miao Rulai, Imperial Lord Fusheng, Empress Da Ziran, and Empress Langya could barely manage to contend with the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars.
Although the various Empresses and others possessed formidable strength, having all cultivated to the pinnacle of the Great Dao, they were merely at the pinnacle of the Great Dao. One must understand that the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars represented the Three Thousand Great Daos. As long as they could not transcend the Three Thousand Great Daos, they could not possibly be a match for the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars.
As for Empress Da Ziran and Imperial Lord Fusheng, although they had also not transcended the Three Thousand Great Daos, they shared a common trait: they had comprehended the true essence of the Great Dao, the unity of Yin and Yang.
Like Empress Langya, who was peerless in both immortal and demonic paths.
Like Imperial Lord Fusheng's Hunyuan Great Dao.
Like Taiji Boundless's Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness.
Like Miao Rulai's Sun and Moon Radiance.
They had all unified Yin and Yang. Although they had not transcended the Three Thousand Great Daos, one foot was already outside the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Boom—
Unfortunately, they could only contend with the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars at best; they still could not shake them.
The Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars were like three insurmountable mountains. No matter how hard the various Empresses and others tried, they could not overcome them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Empress Langya was also sent flying sideways.
Immediately after, Imperial Lord Fusheng, Miao Rulai, and Taiji Boundless were sent flying sideways.
Finally, even Empress Da Ziran could not withstand the onslaught and was sent flying sideways.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With furious roars, Taiji Boundless, Miao Rulai, and Imperial Lord Fusheng charged forward once more.
In that instant.
Dugu Qizhan, Xuanyuan Wuji, and the Great Sun Radiant Emperor, as if by prior agreement, each summoned a bow and simultaneously fired an arrow.
The bow in Dugu Qizhan's hand was the Azure Sky Dominating Bow.
The bow in Xuanyuan Wuji's hand was the Sacred Adjudicating Bow.
And the bow in the Great Sun Radiant Emperor's hand was the Light Purifying Bow!
From the three bows, three Great Sun Judgment Arrows were shot!
One shot toward Taiji Boundless, one toward Miao Rulai, and one toward Imperial Lord Fusheng.
Bang!
The Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness swirling around Taiji Boundless was instantly shattered. Blood spurted from his mouth and nose as his body was sent flying uncontrollably.
Bang!
The Five Ming King Crown on Miao Rulai's head and the Amitabha Kasaya on his body were both shattered in an instant. Miao Rulai also spat blood from his mouth and nose, his body sent flying uncontrollably.
Bang!
The two great Heavenly Mandates of Imperial Lord Fusheng—the North Pole Ziwei Star and the Canghao Imperial Seal—were both shattered in an instant. Imperial Lord Fusheng, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, was also sent flying uncontrollably.
Previously.
When the Nine Saint Sons fired a Great Sun Judgment Arrow from the Sacred Adjudicating Bow, it could do nothing to the various Empresses and others.
But now.
When the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars fired a Great Sun Judgment Arrow, not only were the fortunes of Miao Rulai, Taiji Boundless, and Imperial Lord Fusheng—who already had one foot outside the Three Thousand Great Daos—shattered and dispersed, but they themselves were also struck until blood flowed from their seven orifices, suffering severe injuries.
What is the difference?
This is the difference.
This is the strength of the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars!
"Give up!"
The voice of the Great Sun Radiant Emperor rumbled forth, saying, "You are no match for us at all!"
The various Empresses exchanged glances. Although they were unwilling, they had to admit that what the Great Sun Radiant Emperor said was true.
Even if they fought to the death today, they could not break through the barrier formed by the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars.
What to do?
No one knew what to do.
"Great Sun Radiant Emperor, Dugu Qizhan, Xuanyuan Wuji!"
At this moment, Da Xing the Mad Monk rushed forward and shouted, "This old monk might as well tell you, that kid Gu will definitely defy heaven and alter destiny, and he will surely win half a move against heaven!"
"If that is truly the case,"
Xuanyuan Wuji said, "It would suit my wishes perfectly."
"Then do you know that once that kid Gu ascends to become the True Lord of Original Sin, the only thing awaiting you is death!"
This time, it was Dugu Qizhan who spoke. He said indifferently, "That is exactly what I seek!"
"You...
Damn it...
!"
Da Xing the Mad Monk felt intense hatred in his heart. He did not hate the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars, but rather that damned Fate!
The Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars clearly all wanted to slaughter the Three Thousand Great Daos, but the workings of fortune played tricks on them. Fate had arranged for them to be the incarnations of the Three Thousand Great Daos!
This was the method of Fate, the trump card of Fate, and also the chess pieces in Fate's grand scheme.
It was precisely to deal with those like them who had grafted karma and deceived Fate.
You think you can graft karma and deceive Fate?
Fine, graft karma as you please, deceive Fate as you please.
But no matter how you graft or deceive, in the end, you must face the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars!
If you cannot pass the hurdle of the Three Heaven-Supporting Pillars, all the karma you previously grafted and all the karma you deceived are in vain.
Clearly.
They thought that by grafting karma, they could deceive Fate.
But that was only what they thought.
In the end, they could not escape the domination of Fate.
Every move they made in their scheme was within Fate's control.
Now, they could only wait.
Wait for Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng was their only hope.
Throughout the ancient and modern worlds, only Gu Qingfeng was not under Fate's control.
Only Gu Qingfeng could defy heaven and alter destiny, and win half a move against heaven in this great calamity!
