To Ji Tianxing, the greatest threats were the Immortal God Emperor and the Pantheon of Immortality.
However, he had far more enemies than these. The Taiyu Shrine's God Emperor also needed to be taken into consideration.
He took a risk and hid in a mountain range not far from the border for a month. Using this opportunity, he successfully formed his fifth Daoist Rhyme, greatly increasing his strength.
A month's time was just right, within the range of his expectations and control.
Not only would it give him ample time to improve his strength, but it would also give the Pantheon of Immortality and the Taiyu Shrine a chance to encounter each other.
If it was possible, Ji Tianxing wanted the two Shrines to fight each other, and he would be the fisherman who benefited from it.
"Let's go," Ji Tianxing ordered.
White Dragon steered the Godslayer out of the depths of the earth and into the air above the mountain.
The formations within the warship were activated, concealing the warship's tracks and aura as it merged with the sky.
White Dragon steered the Godslayer Warship toward the north. Ji Tianxing sat in the pilot's cabin, quietly meditating.
… …
Half a month before this, a few interesting events had occurred.
First, the Immortal God Emperor arrived at the northern border. Later, the temple masters arrived one after another and joined the Immortal God Emperor.
Afterwards, the hall masters of the various branches led large groups of elite Godkings to the northern border one after another.
Under the Immortal God Emperor's command, they hurried to various designated locations and set up formations, traps, and ambushes with all their might.
In the following days, an extremely long defensive line and an inescapable net were formed at the border.
The Immortal God Emperor and the temple masters spread out, each leading a large group of elite Godkings to search the border.
They had thought that they would be able to find the Godslayer Warship and capture Kenshin after half a month of waiting.
But who would've thought that after ten days, the people they waited for weren't Kenshin, but … the temple masters of the Taiyu Shrine!
Previously, Taiyu God Emperor had changed his mind at the last minute and headed north to hunt down the Kenshin instead of the Imperishable Shrine.
On the way to the northern border, Taiyu God Emperor also noticed the problem and realized that Kenshin had successfully escaped.
After all, he had chased all the way to the north without finding any traces of the God Emperor's great battle.
This was enough to prove that the Hall Masters of the Pantheon of Immortality did not encounter the Kenshin, and the two sides did not fight.
The answer was obvious. Kenshin must have escaped the pursuit of the Pantheon of Immortality.
When the Taiyu Shrine was chasing after Kenshin, Kenshin had to change directions several times to shake off the Taiyu Shrine's experts.
Taiyu God Emperor was well aware of Kenshin's methods and intelligence.
Thus, Taiyu God Emperor knew that Kenshin must've used some sort of trick to escape, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn't know how to find Kenshin, or where to go to capture Kenshin.
The safest way was to head north to the Pantheon of Immortality and wait there.
Alternatively, he could find the Hall Masters of the Pantheon of Immortality and see what they would do.
Just like that, the Taiyu Shrine's Hall Masters made their way to the northern border.
In a majestic mountain range, Taiyu God Emperor's airship ran into a group of people searching for Kenshin.
The group was led by a hall master and had over a thousand elite godkings under his command.
Aboard a divine airship, these godkings were cruising around, searching for clues and traces.
When they saw an unfamiliar warship approaching, the hall master and the godkings were on high alert and immediately prepared for battle.
When they saw the imprint of the Taiyu Shrine on the warship, their killing intent soared and they launched an attack.
"The bastards of the Taiyu Shrine are here! Kill them!"
In the past, the two shrines had been at peace with each other. It had been tens of thousands of years since a war had broken out.
But this time was different. The Taiyu Shrine's Hall Masters had invaded the Pantheon of Immortality on a large scale and stirred up trouble in their territory. This had long since angered the Immortal God Emperor.
The Immortal God Emperor had issued an order to not only capture Kenshin, but also kill the Taiyu Shrine's men.
Thus, the warship launched an attack. Over a thousand godkings used their abilities and secret arts to surround and attack Taiyu God Emperor's airship.
Taiyu God Emperor didn't think much of these godkings. Even if they ran into each other, he couldn't be bothered to chase after them if they turned tail and fled.
But these foes didn't know what was good for them and had taken the initiative to attack. How could Taiyu God Emperor allow them to do as they pleased?
Without any hesitation, Taiyu God Emperor's airship launched a counterattack.
The two warships fired their divine cannons and fired several hundred beams of divine power that clashed in the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With deafening booms, the several hundred beams of divine power shattered, filling the sky with fragments of divine light.
Tens of thousands of fragments of divine light were swept up by the violent shockwaves and spread out in a five-colored ripple that spread for tens of thousands of miles.
The explosions traveled far and wide, reverberating through the heavens and earth.
The beams of divine power fired by the Lord-Class warship were all shattered.
Meanwhile, ninety percent of the beams fired by Taiyu God Emperor's imperial warship were still intact, and all of them struck the Lord-Class warship.
The result was indisputable. The Lord-Class warship's divine power barrier was shattered, and several dozen craters and large cracks appeared on its surface.
The terrifying shockwaves pushed the Lord-Class warship several hundred miles away and smashed it into a towering mountain.
The mountain was smashed into pieces and collapsed with a rumbling noise.
Dust flew everywhere, and the earth shook violently.
The damaged warship flickered with divine light as it tried to charge out of the ruins and escape.
But then, Taiyu God Emperor's airship fired again, firing several hundred more beams of divine power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, several hundred beams of divine power slammed into the ruins, causing another earth-shattering explosion and endless dust.
The heavily damaged Lord-Class warship could no longer withstand the bombardment of the divine cannons. It shattered on the spot, sending countless fragments and wreckage flying everywhere.
Several dozen unlucky elite God Kings were killed on the spot.
Most of the nine hundred or so elite Godkings who had survived were heavily injured.
Under the leadership of the hall master, they quickly fled the wreckage of the warship and charged out of the ruins.
After witnessing the enemy's power, they lost the will to fight and no longer dared to attack. They hurriedly turned and fled.
Of course, in order to escape successfully, they split into three different directions and scattered.
Even though Taiyu God Emperor's airship gave chase, it couldn't capture them all in one fell swoop. It only killed three hundred or so elite God Kings before ending the pursuit.
This matter was over.
This was originally just a small interlude that didn't affect the big picture.
However, the six hundred or so elite Divine Kings who had managed to escape hurriedly sent out messages to the Immortal God Emperor and the hall masters in their joy at surviving the calamity.
In less than fifteen minutes, the Immortal God Emperor and the hall masters learned that the people of the Taiyu Shrine had arrived.
