When Hun Zang heard Tyne's secret message, his heart immediately sank. He became even more determined to prevent the Heaven-splitting clan from taking away Jianchen.
"Hun Zang has already used the Martial Soul Array. He's condensed the power of the Martial Soul Mountain and six other people. Coupled with the strangeness of Martial Soul Force, we won't be able to do anything to him alone. Quick, let's keep Hun Zang busy. We can't let him ascend the Martial Soul Mountain before Jianchen hands over the Anatta Tower …"
"Since Jianchen refuses to hand over the Anatta Tower, let's take it ourselves. Everyone, if you want the Anatta Tower, we need to work together. Let's get the Anatta Tower first. We'll discuss how we'll split it in the future … "
At the same time, the peak experts gathered there spoke as well. They understood just how deep the heritage of the Martial Soul lineage was. Even though the Martial Soul lineage would never be able to become a Grand Prime, no peak organisation in the Saints' World dared to underestimate the Martial Soul lineage.
This was all because of the existence of the Martial Soul Mountain.
They knew extremely well that once Jianchen returned to the Martial Soul Mountain, there would be nothing they could do.
"This is the territory of my Daohuang Empire. I'll be responsible for collecting the Anatta Tower. You just need to keep Hun Zang busy. We'll discuss who gets the Anatta Tower after we get it," said the retired emperor of the Daohuang Empire. Meanwhile, the Supreme Emperor of the Daohuang Empire spoke. His entire body was coiled by the aura of the Imperial Dao, and he was reserved in speech and manner while emanating a dignified imposing aura.
He directly struck out. His hand shattered space, breaking through space and time, arriving before Jianchen in a single instance.
"Jianchen, I won't harm you. I only want your Anatta Tower. You better know what's good for you," said the retired emperor of the Daohuang Empire. The Martial Soul lineage and the God clan stood behind Jianchen, so he clearly had some concerns about Jianchen's identity.
However, these concerns clearly were not enough to stop him from taking the Anatta Tower.
"Don't you dare!" Hun Zang bellowed out. The power of the Martial Soul Mountain fused with him, and he struck out decisively to stop the retired emperor of the Daohuang Empire. At the same time, his eyes instantly turned pitch-black, like a black dome that could swallow all light in the world.
Powerful Martial Soul Force shot out again in the form of invisible swords, targeting the peak experts in the surroundings.
"Be careful!" Some of the peak experts called out, but it was useless. Even when they sensed Hun Zang's Martial Soul Force attacks, they were unable to fend them off.
The invisible sword condensed from Martial Soul Force possessed a wondrous power that could shake up the souls of people. It pierced through all their defences and struck their souls.
Immediately, the bodies of all the top experts trembled. Confusion appeared in their eyes for a moment, and the movements of their hands also slowed down.
Even the Ancestral Emperor of the Daohuang Empire was no exception.
However, Hun Zang did not become entangled with these people. Taking Jianchen away was his priority right now. He grabbed Jianchen's shoulder and was about to leave.
Boom!
At this moment, a deafening rumble rang out from the horizon. A colossal azure peng appeared in outer space of the Desolate Plane. With a flap of its wings, it blotted out the sky and struck the projection of the Martial Soul Mountain heavily.
The projection of the Martial Soul Mountain immediately shook violently. It constantly twisted and deformed as it rapidly dimmed.
It was the Azure Peng King. He had taken action as well, stopping the people of the Martial Soul lineage from taking Jianchen away.
Due to the Celestial Sword Saint's existence, he did not dare to set foot on the Desolate Plane. However, the projection of the Martial Soul Mountain was unable to descend on the Desolate Plane either. It could only appear in outer space.
As a result, the Martial Soul Mountain became the best target for the Azure Peng King.
Hun Zang seemed to be greatly affected when the Martial Soul Mountain was attacked. His body trembled violently as his face reddened. The power he received from the Martial Soul Mountain had almost been cut off.
The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance was a peak expert who had reached mid Grand Prime. Moreover, he possessed the noble and powerful bloodline of a divine beast. Not only was his speed the greatest in the world, but even his battle prowess could be described as invincible among those at the same level. A single strike from him was nothing to scoff at.
"Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, our Martial Soul lineage has always minded our own business. What are you trying to do?" Hun Zang called out sternly.
"Jianchen must die. Even if the God clan protects him, I will never let him live," the Azure Peng King's cold voice boomed out from outer space.
He was the only person who truly wanted to kill Jianchen out of all the peak experts.
Hun Zang's face was ugly. The Azure Peng King's original form was a great peng. He was vicious and renowned for his vengeance in the Saints' World. He was not to be trifled with. Since he had said something like that, it meant that he really did want to kill Jianchen.
However, he did indeed possess the strength and right to not fear the God clan. The War God of the God clan had not truly matured yet. With his terrifying speed, there was indeed no one in the God clan who could stop him. Even the three great elders could not.
"Hun Zang, you won't be able to take Jianchen away without the Anatta Tower." The peak experts who had been affected by Hun Zang's Martial Soul Force all recovered. They all struck out to keep Hun Zang busy.
Booms constantly rang out in outer space. The Azure Peng King struck out again and again. Every strike was devastating, causing space to crack.
The projection of the Martial Soul Mountain tottered under his attacks. It showed signs of collapsing, and the Martial Soul Array was forcefully severed as well. It could no longer support Hun Zang.
After all, this was only a projection of the Martial Soul Mountain. It only possessed a portion of the Martial Soul Mountain's power. It was not the real Martial Soul Mountain.
Without the support of the Martial Soul Array, Hun Zang immediately lost the upper hand against so many peak experts who were more powerful than him.
The protective formation of the Daohuang Empire had already been activated. The power of the entire formation gathered outside the city, blocking the shockwaves of the battle inside and preventing them from spreading out.
The tremendous population of the city, which numbered in the hundreds of millions, had all been moved away by the formation.
"The situation is bad. Chu Jian, let's go assist Hun Zang. Out of the seven of us, only the two of us can fend off those people aside from Hun Zang," Jian Chen said. Six figures stabilised the Martial Soul Mountain as hard as they could. A middle-aged man stared at the Desolate Plane and said sternly.
"We can't. We have to stabilise the Martial Soul Mountain's projection. We can't let it collapse from the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance's attacks, or we won't be able to use the power of the Martial Soul Mountain to instantly cross this extremely distant space and return to the Martial Soul Mountain," said the person called Chu Jian sternly.
On the Desolate Plane, the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire struck out once again. His hand trapped the surroundings and locked down space as he reached towards Jianchen.
Jianchen's eyes turned cold. With a thought, the damaged Anatta Tower shot out from between his eyebrows. The Anatta Tower seemed to condense the power of ways to the limit, enough to suppress everything in the world. As soon as the tower appeared, the space that the ancestral emperor had locked down was dispelled in a single instance.
Jian Chen, on the other hand, wielded the Anatta Tower and used all of its power to smash it towards the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire.
"The Anatta Tower!" The ancestral emperor's eyes lit up. He stared at the Anatta Tower Jianchen had taken out with shining eyes. His hand that originally reached towards Jianchen moved towards the Anatta Tower instead.
Terrifying power condensed on his hand. It seemed to be able to shatter space, creating the strongest defence.
However, the Anatta Tower was terrifyingly powerful. Even though it was nowhere close to being able to unleash the power of a peak god artifact, just the weight of the Anatta Tower was extremely shocking.
Due to his carelessness, the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire was blown several hundred meters away by the great force of the Anatta Tower.
"It really is a peak god artifact after all!" The ancestral emperor's eyes shone with a wondrous light. He had only been knocked back and was not injured. This was because with Jianchen's current strength, he was unable to injure a Grand Prime with the Anatta Tower even after refining five floors.
