On the spacious plaza that led to the Yang Capital's Vast Sun Main Hall, a group of Hao Clan officials, subordinates, and military officers were all dressed in spirit-infused robes. They lined up neatly on both sides of the plaza and waited respectfully.
At the front of the plaza of the main hall stood the envoys of the various sects who had come to observe the ceremony and wait for their summons.
After the elders of the Elder Council surrendered, they were not imprisoned by King Xi. This time, they were also present. However, to show their status, they were allowed to stand on the steps in front of the main hall.
Zhu Shen said in a deep voice, "After this ceremony, we should also address King Xi as the Emperor. It will also be clear where we should go."
When he said this, many of the elders immediately became nervous and uneasy. After King Xi stabilized his position on the throne, it would still be good if he simply threw them away after using them or locked them up. However, they were afraid that he wouldn't be able to tolerate them. He would directly clean them up and replace them with a new group of elders. The latter seemed to be more likely.
Someone sighed and said, "It's a pity that the cultivator from the Everlasting Sect can't see more."
Zhu Shen shook his head and said, "Even if he could see, he might not dare to tell us."
When the elders heard this, many of their expressions turned ugly. If he did not dare to say anything, then the outcome was self-evident.
An elder beside Zhu Shen looked around and said in a low voice, "Yuan Shu, there are strange movements in the sky above the city these few days. It seems a little inappropriate."
Zhu Shen glanced up at the sky. Countless flying ships had formed a spiritual shield, overlapping each other inside and outside. Numerous Vast Gods had also covered the sky above the city with spiritual mist, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Zhu Shen was knowledgeable, so he could see that this formation was not used to defend the city, but to defend the city from the outside.
He pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that the Six Sects can't sit still."
That elder said with a slightly excited tone, "If the Six Sects attack now, it won't be a cheap move. They might take advantage of the emptiness in the city to use the rumored magic weapon …"
To the upper echelons of the Vast Race and the Six Sects, the fact that the two sides were creating war weapons to deal with the other side was not a secret. Instead, it was purposely leaked to intimidate the other side. Doing so would cause both sides to have misgivings, and not dare to rashly start a war.
Zhu Shen said in a low voice, "But don't forget that we are also in the city. Based on the power of that legendary magic weapon, once it lands, the entire city will be destroyed. If King Xi fails, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape either."
The Elder's expression changed as he looked up at the sky, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.
Within the Vast Sun Main Hall, King Xi was dressed in the robes of the Vast Crown Emperor with the Vermilion Bird Sword hanging from his waist. He stood on a high platform and looked down at the city below.
However, the people behind him all looked solemn, and there was not the slightest bit of joy on their faces. This was because just a moment ago, the spiritual mark that was floating in outer space had sensed an abnormality. The officials of the Sky Surveillance Institute believed that a powerful mystical power was coming from outside the Heaven Domain. Its power was unprecedentedly strong. The people of Jianyan Yang Du immediately hid.
At this moment, the creator behind him stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your humble servant will escort Your Majesty to a safe place."
King Xi coldly replied, "This Monarch is the Emperor. How can I retreat at the sight of danger? The ceremony will proceed as planned. "
Thanks to his previous detection, he had already made defensive arrangements in advance. Furthermore, there were many higher-ups within the city. He believed that even if Yang Du's defensive power had not recovered to its original peak, it would be enough to block the attack from the outside.
At this moment, that astonishing spiritual light came from the void and charged towards the surface. The outermost spiritual barrier of the Earth Continent was torn apart in an instant like a thin piece of paper. However, this spiritual light did not seem to be obstructed at all as it crashed towards its final target, Yang Du.
One could see a long trail of spiritual flames extending from the void all the way to the top of the Earth Continent, and it continued to extend downwards. In the eyes of the people from the other regions of the Earth Continent, it looked like a sharp blade that was slowly slicing the sky vertically into two halves.
Zhang Yu stared at this scene. Just now, he had received Jin Zhixing's report beforehand, informing him that the six great sects were preparing to use a magic weapon to attack the Earth Continent. However, Jin Zhixing was an outsider after all, and he was not fully trusted. He had no way of knowing the real secret, so he sensed that something was wrong before the six great sects launched their attack.
He could see the powerful force contained in the spiritual light, especially the level of Dao used in it. He seemed to have faintly touched the peak of this level of power. If there were no accidents, this should be the heavy weapon that the six great sects relied on to fight against the creation of Ultimate Benevolence. If Yang Du was still in the state where it had lost many defensive fortifications, this attack would be enough to raze it to the ground.
The spiritual light did not stop. After crossing the sky, it first collided with the Qi wall that Yang Du had just repaired, but it instantly broke through. The light brushed past a Solar Star of Creation, and the huge Solar Star was instantly vaporized.
However, after a breath, this spiritual light immediately fell on the spiritual barrier formed by the millions of flying ships and many higher-ups. The barrier did not have much of an effect as it was broken through layer by layer. Due to the shattering of the spiritual power, countless spiritual light ripples exploded and dispersed.
In this almost magnificent collision, the incomparably huge spiritual light overwhelmed the last layer of protection formed by the many Measureless Deities!
This layer of protection was like a solid, golden glaze. This was the last powerful barrier. If even this could not block, then the last layer of Yang Du's shell would be shattered.
At this moment, the people below could already see the scene above, and they all looked on nervously. Fortunately, after the spiritual light collided, it only caused the golden glaze wall to tremble slightly. It did not break through in one go, and it stopped there.
Seeing this, the people could not help but feel a little relieved. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw cracks appear on the golden glaze wall, and the cracks quickly spread from the center to the periphery. When the people's expressions changed, the Measureless Deities that supported the spiritual power below exploded into countless fragments of spiritual light. Before the glaze above shattered, an incomparably dazzling brilliance had already landed on everyone's body.
Zhang Yu was about to move the spiritual light, but just as he was about to do so, he suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction in Yang Du.
In that direction, a strong aura suddenly rose, and a huge shadow that covered the entire city appeared above. Below, it was still illusory, but the higher it went, the more real it became. Everyone could see that it was a soft, delicate, and white slender palm, the whole thing looked like it was carved out of beautiful jade.
The hand gently pushed upwards, and the descending spirit light was actually stopped there, unable to descend any further.
Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. They did not know who did this, and no one knew if it could be stopped.
After the two forces were in a stalemate for more than ten breaths, the spiritual light finally seemed to be unable to continue and slowly faded away. One could see smoke gradually floating above the land.
On the other hand, clear cracks appeared on the jade-like hand. In the end, it burst open with a bang, turning into countless green clouds that intertwined with the remaining smoke and clouds in the sky. Under the illumination of the Solar Star of Creation, it shone with a myriad of colors, like a grand firework blooming.
The people below were relieved, and an elder asked Zhu Shen, "Yuan Cheng, what is that thing?"
Zhu Shen thought for a moment and said, "That should be the creation of Ultimate Benevolence."
The elder said in surprise, "Yuan Cheng, isn't this thing not finished yet?"
Zhu Shen said, "I'm afraid that's why it couldn't block the spiritual light outside of the sky. It must have sensed its own threat, so it stimulated the spiritual power to make a move."
Of course, Emperor Hao was the only one who knew how far Ultimate Benevolence's creations had progressed. Emperor Hao himself did not know the specifics and could only see some clues from the creations that had changed in the past. What he said now was just a guess.
An elder rejoiced, "Fortunately, we didn't destroy this creation of Ultimate Benevolence. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened?"
At this moment, Zhang Yu looked at the place where the aura of the shadow dissipated. Starlight flashed on his body, and in the next moment, he appeared above a sky well. He looked down and saw that spiritual light was overflowing. It was a crystal door.
According to the information obtained from King Xi, this should lead to the place where the creation of Ultimate Benevolence was created.
He immediately descended and passed through the layer of door. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in a spacious area. He saw twelve small Solar Stars of Creation floating in the sky, and their spiritual light sprinkled down without any obstruction, shining on the oval-shaped cocoons below.
Inside the cocoon, there were busy figures. Occasionally, an Artisan in a silver close-fitting robe would come out and walk along the diamond-shaped light path. After a while, they would enter another cocoon. When they walked in, it was as if they were passing through a soft liquid. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the cocoon.
Although he was flying in the sky, no one looked at him. This was because the gap between the two sides was too big. Moreover, he restrained his aura to avoid affecting the outside world, so no one could see him here.
He looked over and saw that among the many cocoons, there was a giant cocoon. It was located in the middle of this area, and he was sure that the aura just now had erupted from here.
He floated forward and arrived outside the cocoon. He slowly floated down and walked into the cocoon. The moment he passed through the cocoon, a ray of light suddenly fell on his body. However, when it shone on the seal given by King Xi, the light paused for a moment and then retreated.
When he arrived inside, he saw a giant lotus that was thirty meters in size. It had three thousand and six hundred petals, and the petals were exquisite and delicate like pink jade. The flower had two layers, and it shone brightly and filled the room with a strange fragrance. It was not difficult to notice that more than half of the spiritual power of the twelve Solar Stars of Creation had been absorbed by the lotus.
On the lotus pedestal, there was the figure of a Daoist. He was sitting cross-legged with his back facing him. He could see that his right hand was missing from the elbow, but it was slowly growing out.
