Experiencing the changes that were happening in the World beyond Worlds, the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen's expression regained its calmness.
"The younger generation will surpass us in time!" The old man let out a long sigh, "At least you didn't lose your mind since you care about the common people."
"It's true that ice and charcoal can't be placed in the same furnace. However, this old man can't just sit and watch as you separate the World beyond Worlds."
He took a deep breath, and his body seemed to have instantly grown taller.
Then, a huge hammer suddenly appeared in Jiang Shen's hand!
The surface of the black eight-edged hammer flickered with an earthen-yellow luster. It was extremely heavy.
It was the Tranquil Immortal Artifact that the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen had used to shake the World beyond Worlds in the past. It was the Fifth Earth Octagonal Hammer. It was as famous as the Astro Sovereign's Broken Cold Wave and the Concealed Sovereign's Heaven Shrouding Fan.
After Jiang Shen became a Virtual Immortal, he didn't use it anymore. However, he could use it again now.
The Qilin Cliff's martial arts originated from Jiang Shen himself. Their style was more focused on defense than offense.
Jiang Shen himself was very clear about this. When he had ascended to the Profound Immortal Realm and abandoned the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram to refine his Tranquil level Immortal Artifact, he had specially refined such a ferocious offensive weapon.
A pure weapon that was filled with destructive and offensive power!
Currently, Jiang Shen had a hammer in his hand. As he raised the Fifth Earth Octagonal Hammer, his entire aura changed.
At this moment, the honest elder with a strong scholarly aura had transformed into an iron-blooded general on the battlefield, conquering the world and breaking through enemy lines!
The Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei's expression became even more solemn.
He didn't have a Tranquil level Immortal Artifact with him. The enemy in front of him wasn't like the Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu of the Prime Clear lineage.
Zhang Buxu also had a Tranquil level Immortal Artifact. However, it was damaged due to other matters and needed to be repaired. That was why he didn't bring it with him when he entered the Pill Hall.
At this moment, the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen raised the Fifth Earth Octagonal Hammer and smashed it towards Yue Zhenbei's head!
The ferocious and domineering Immortal Artifact had completely fused with Jiang Shen's Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer. They helped each other, creating an effect that was greater than two. It was actually even more ferocious!
When the hammer landed, it seemed to be similar to when he attacked when he was still a Virtual Immortal.
Yue Zhenbei's sword-light spread out and interlocked with each other. Jiang Shen's hammer moved about.
Although the enemy in front of him was powerful, Yue Zhenbei's expression was solemn, and he didn't show any signs of fear. He was only focused and devoted to the martial path of the sword. He calmly dealt with every single attack of the enemy, and dealt with Jiang Shen's violent and ferocious attacks with the method of guerilla combat.
Although they were both guerilla warfare, there were different methods.
Yue Zhenbei didn't blindly dodge. Instead, as his figure moved, he struck out with his sword again and again, fighting attacks with attacks.
Like the wind and rain, it continuously eroded the sturdy mountain rocks, day and night, causing them to decay.
Although he was in a disadvantageous position, Yue Zhenbei was still able to defend himself, and didn't show any signs of being defeated.
Jiang Shen's gaze towards Yue Zhenbei was filled with pity.
In order to stop Yan Zhaoge from connecting the Pill Hall to the World beyond Worlds as soon as possible, he started going all out with his attacks that could topple the mountains and overturn the seas. He intended to force Yue Zhenbei to retreat.
Jiang Shen didn't have the mood to be entangled with Yue Zhenbei here. That was meaningless. To him, stopping Yan Zhaoge was the most important thing.
However, at that moment, a ray of golden light suddenly appeared from the white jade hall in the faraway void, and instantly reached in front of Jiang Shen!
Jiang Shen's heart tightened, "The Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Pill Hall is indeed profound. It can even split a portion of its strength to defend itself when it's performing the ritual to separate the World beyond Worlds."
Helplessly, he could only turn around and block the golden light with his hammer.
However, with that, it wasn't easy for Jiang Shen to bypass Yue Zhenbei's obstruction anymore.
Although he still had the upper hand, every time he tried to turn his advantage into victory, the Pill Hall would shoot him with a sneak attack. It made Jiang Shen extremely frustrated, and he couldn't take another step forward.
Within the Pill Hall, within the core Purple Divine Pavilion, Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm.
While he was dealing with the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen, he was also carefully controlling the progress of the ritual.
This plan had too many implications. It could only be carried out because he had obtained the Pill Hall, which gave Yan Zhaoge the capability to play such a huge game.
However, even so, he wasn't completely confident. If he was careless, he might fail on the verge of success.
If he didn't succeed this time, there might not be enough time and chance for him to redo it.
Due to Suo Mingzhang's attack, the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen's cultivation had dropped. Although Yan Zhaoge had to be wary of him, with Yue Zhenbei blocking him, Yan Zhaoge could easily resolve Jiang Shen's interference.
However, the current him wasn't the one Yan Zhaoge was wary of the most.
If there was a chance that the plan would fail this time, it would be in other areas.
"Exalted Solar Luminary, Gao Han …" Yan Zhaoge's gaze pierced through the Pill Hall's domain and scanned the Dao universe, "You've been planning for so long. Is this all you've got?"
"You should know the Exalted Fire's temper. Did you only place your hopes on no one discovering you? The truth has proven that it's not reliable. "
"However, if you had other arrangements, where would it be?"
Although Yan Zhaoge had guessed that the Nine Underworlds might make a move, he never expected a top-notch Great Devil like the Shadow Devil to be able to sneak into the World beyond Worlds without anyone noticing.
Until now, Yan Zhaoge was still curious about how the Shadow Devil managed to sneak in.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to find the answer under the current situation.
Instead, he had to face a problem.
Because of the Shadow Devil's influence, the Astro Sovereign couldn't do anything for the time being.
Since his side's strength was damaged, they had less ability to react to any sudden situations.
While Yan Zhaoge was trying his best to ensure that his plan would proceed as planned, the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen was also trying to find a way to break out of this situation.
His understanding of Gao Han would only be deeper than Yan Zhaoge. He was also worried about Gao Han's movements.
"Previously, in order to protect the Immortal Splendor on top of his head, he took Suo Mingzhang's attack head-on. With his heavy injuries, he shouldn't be able to fight anymore."
Although he thought so, Jiang Shen didn't feel relaxed at all.
Yan Zhaoge's plan was gradually coming true. Jiang Shen could only be anxious.
Not to mention Yan Di, Nie Jingshen, and the others who had yet to push open the Immortal Door, Mars Halberd had yet to show himself.
The Female Emperor – Jie Mingkong's whereabouts were still unknown.
The Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce's Four Qis Fused Aura was broken by Suo Mingzhang, which meant that he had temporarily fallen to the True Immortal Realm.
If he wanted to cultivate again, it would be easier than Gao Han and Jiang Shen. However, it wouldn't be done in a day.
"But …" Jiang Shen shifted his gaze to the side.
There, the Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce was looking at the faraway World beyond Worlds, and he was in a daze.
The Exalted Concealed Luminary didn't seem to have any intention of making a move.
Although he had fallen to the True Immortal Realm, he was still a top-notch existence amongst True Immortals. Although the current situation wasn't something that Yang Ce could handle alone, Jiang Shen still felt a chill in his heart when he acted like he wasn't involved.
Yan Zhaoge also noticed this abnormal scene.
Feeling Jiang Shen's gaze, Yang Ce turned his head and smiled, "The situation is unstable, and the building is about to collapse. Sorry for troubling you, Daoist Yang."
"Daoist Yang, I've always known that you have your own thoughts." Jiang Shen said slowly, "For so many years, you've maintained contact with the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. You said that you wanted to obtain more information from that side, and you did report a lot of important information to the North Star Emperor. However, I believe that you're trying to gain more information from both sides."
"No matter what you did in the past, I hope Daoist Yang will reconsider your actions."
Yang Ce smiled, "Yeah, you know about all these. Unfortunately …"
"You don't know who I am."
