Facing the attack of the Divine Pavilion Master, the vast spiritual radiance instantly shattered. The Netherworld Palace Master, the Ancestor of the Myriad Saint Mountain and the others groaned, each of them retreating several steps in succession.
At this moment, the crack torn open by Mandala had also reached its limit. It could no longer hold and rapidly closed, and the five of them once again fell into a trapped beast situation.
Mandala and the others looked extremely grim. They had not expected that with the augmentation of the evil energy, the Divine Pavilion Master would become so terrifying, likely already comparable to an Greater Earth Sovereign.
Moreover, as the evil energy continued to pollute the surroundings, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth grew increasingly foul. When the time came, their combat strength would continue to weaken until they were completely suppressed by the opponent.
"Heh, stubborn resistance is merely a path to death." The Divine Pavilion Master stepped on the overwhelming black qi, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Just as Mandala and the others were locked in a bitter struggle, on the other side—
The streak of light arrived before the Spiritual Puppet. Then the puppet, which had been standing still without any movement, slightly raised its arm and directly grasped the streak of light in its hand.
This scene caused Liu Bai's eyes to brighten, and he felt a trace of joy in his heart. It seemed that his method was correct. The Spiritual Puppet had indeed reacted.
The moment the token fell into its hand, within the originally hollow eye sockets of the Spiritual Puppet, a peculiar light began to gather. A strange fluctuation started to spread from within its body.
The sudden burst of this unusual fluctuation from the Spiritual Puppet was quickly sensed by the Divine Pavilion Master and the others in the distance. His brows immediately furrowed, and his gloomy gaze shot toward Liu Bai. Clearly, the change in the Spiritual Puppet had been caused by Liu Bai's earlier action.
"What, judging by your look, do you intend to make a move against me?" Liu Bai looked at the Divine Pavilion Master and spoke calmly.
"A Seventh-Grade Sovereign. I truly did not expect you to be so capable of causing trouble." The Divine Pavilion Master's voice was somewhat low. Then his crimson eyes suddenly turned sharp, and a terrifying aura directly pressed down toward Liu Bai.
"Not good, Liu Bai, dodge quickly!" Mandala's golden pupils shrank as she immediately shouted to Liu Bai.
From beginning to end, the Divine Pavilion Master had never regarded this group of ants as anything significant. Yet Liu Bai's provocation had angered him.
An ant daring to provoke a god. Then the god needed only a single glance to reduce the ant to dust.
A terrifying pressure as solid as substance suddenly descended. With no room for resistance, Liu Bai was nearly forced to collapse to the ground.
At the critical moment, golden light erupted from Liu Bai's body. A dragon's roar accompanied by a phoenix's cry rang out from within him, allowing him to forcibly withstand the pressure.
"Oh? The Dragon Phoenix Body. I must admit, you are indeed blessed by heaven. The Dragon Phoenix Heaven has existed in the Northern Region for countless years, yet very few have truly obtained the Dragon Phoenix Body. Your talent and potential can be called the strongest in the Northern Region in a thousand years."
"Unfortunately, that is only potential."
No matter how great the talent and potential, if they have not been transformed into strength, they are worthless.
"Is that so…" At this moment, Liu Bai's entire body seemed engorged with blood, turning completely golden red. "Trying to crush me to death with mere pressure. Are you looking down on me too much?"
Liu Bai's voice was hoarse, as though each word tore through his throat.
The recovery power brought by the Dragon Phoenix Body together with the Ice Jade Divine Lotus continuously repaired his body that was on the verge of collapse.
"About time…" Feeling the increasingly heavy pressure, Liu Bai muttered inwardly, then immediately opened the attribute panel in his mind.
"System, upgrade!"
Boom!
Violent spiritual energy transformed into five colored flames that rose around Liu Bai's body.
This scene left many people astonished.
"This is breaking through under the pressure of an Earth Sovereign?!"
The scene directly shocked the Earth Sovereigns above.
It could actually be done like this?
Breaking through under immense pressure. Liu Bai's talent, even placed within the Great Thousand World, would likely be considered first rate.
Unfortunately, without a sufficiently powerful background, what use was great talent? Would he not still fall?
"It seems you cannot kill me." The improvement in cultivation allowed Liu Bai to stand upright. He slightly raised his head, a faint smile appearing on his pale face.
The Divine Pavilion Master frowned slightly, then a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. What difference did an increase in cultivation make? He was still an ant.
Immediately, he prepared to strike the killing blow.
"He is correct. You indeed cannot kill him."
A majestic and ancient voice resounded, as if traversing the long river of time.
When this voice rang out, heaven and earth instantly fell silent. All spiritual energy returned to calm. Even the evil energy polluting the world shrank back.
Everyone's gaze followed the sound. Then they saw the Spiritual Puppet, or rather the Fourth Hall Master, slowly raise his head. His gaze pierced through space and directly locked onto Liu Bai.
In an instant, Liu Bai felt all the pressure on his body disappear. The boiling Dragon Phoenix true blood gradually calmed.
"I did not expect that after ten thousand years, someone would still be able to awaken this remnant consciousness of mine."
After speaking, his gaze shifted again and then locked onto the Divine Pavilion Master standing upon the black qi.
"The power of the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor…"
A trace of fury was contained within the voice of the Fourth Hall Master.
In an instant, the surrounding space exploded under the vibration of his anger filled voice. Countless spatial fragments gathered around him like a storm, terrifying to the extreme.
Such a scene caused the Divine Pavilion Master's expression to change drastically. He had truly not expected that a moment of carelessness would allow an ant to scheme against him.
Earlier, when they had joined forces to besiege this Spiritual Puppet, they had clearly understood its combat strength.
Although he now had the augmentation of the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor's power, the Divine Pavilion Master knew clearly that at most he was evenly matched with the Spiritual Puppet.
Not to mention that within this puppet resided the true spirit left behind by the Fourth Hall Master.
"As a being of the Great Thousand World, you dare to absorb the power of the Fiend Clans. You truly cannot be tolerated." As he spoke, the Fourth Hall Master's killing intent filled gaze locked onto the Divine Pavilion Master.
Sensing the lock of the Fourth Hall Master, the Divine Pavilion Master's expression grew somewhat ugly.
Though he was wary, he was not afraid. He sneered, "What arrogant words. If your true body were here, I might fear you somewhat. But now you are merely a remnant consciousness relying on the power of a Spiritual Puppet, and you think you can kill me?"
Liu Bai could not help but curl his lips.
You have truly bragged to the limit. Saying you would fear him somewhat if his true body were here. If the Fourth Hall Master himself were present, you would probably only worry about whether you were kneeling fast enough.
At Half Step Heaven Sovereign Realm he slew a Devil Emperor.
Even if it was only the lowest ranked Nether Devil Emperor, that was not something an ordinary person could accomplish. He was already stronger than many Heaven Sovereigns.
The Fourth Hall Master's eyes were filled with killing intent, and his calm voice carried icy coldness.
"You are very confident. Is it because the power of the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor has given you such confidence?"
"Ten thousand years ago I could slay him. Now you have merely obtained a remnant of his power, and it gives you the illusion of invincibility?"
"You seem to have forgotten that this place is the Sovereign Sea space of this Sovereign."
As these words fell, the Divine Pavilion Master's expression finally changed drastically.
He had only considered the comparison of their strengths, forgetting that the other party possessed the advantage of terrain.
"Since you so enjoy this power of the Fiend Clans, then remain here forever and be buried together with the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor."
As the icy voice of the Fourth Hall Master fell, he extended his palm. The entire space began to tremble. The spiritual energy ocean below instantly stirred up monstrous waves, and a dark light suddenly broke through the spatial barrier and flew in from the void.
Everyone was startled. Then they saw a dark three dimensional triangle slowly descend, landing in the palm of the Fourth Hall Master.
The others were confused by this sight, but Liu Bai's eyelids twitched.
'Is that not the mysterious iron triangle I searched for with great effort and could not find? He is about to use the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid.'
Thinking about it, that made sense. After all, this Spiritual Puppet was not truly the Fourth Hall Master. If he wanted to quickly resolve the Divine Pavilion Master, using this Saint Artifact was the simplest method.
Moreover, this Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid originally belonged to the Fourth Hall Master. Even after tens of thousands of years, it would still respond to his summons.
After the dark iron triangle fell into the Fourth Hall Master's palm, it immediately emitted waves of buzzing sounds. On its pitch black surface, ancient light patterns began to emerge.
Space began to tremble, and the ocean below suddenly turned violent. Ten thousand foot waves stacked layer upon layer, a scene that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, appearing especially magnificent.
"This power…"
The Divine Pavilion Master's expression changed slightly. In the next instant, he suddenly raised his head and looked gloomily toward the sky.
There, the originally night like dark space rippled like water. Then, within the rippling distortions, a colossal object pierced through space and slowly descended.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
"That is a Saint Artifact?!"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from above, the expressions of several Earth Sovereigns changed. Soon, a trace of greed flashed in many of their eyes.
A Saint Artifact. Even as the top experts of the Northern Region, none of them possessed even a single one.
Mandala's golden eyes flickered as she thought inwardly, "I did not expect Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid to be in the hands of the Fourth Hall Master…"
Although both belonged to the Ancient Heavenly Palace, the Fourth Hall Master and Mandala had never met.
Back then, Mandala had always lived in the Heavenly Emperor's garden. Aside from those close to him such as Lu Huan who served as the Heavenly Emperor's mount, no one else could enter the Heavenly Emperor's garden, much less meet Mandala.
While everyone was still shocked by the enormous golden pyramid above, the Divine Pavilion Master's expression had already become extremely unsightly.
Back then, the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor had been suppressed by the Fourth Hall Master using this Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid and was ultimately annihilated. So when the aura of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, the power belonging to the Heaven Devouring Evil Emperor began to surge, even transmitting faint traces of fear.
The Divine Pavilion Master's gaze flickered. In the end, he suddenly stomped his foot against the void.
Space rippled as rolling black qi swept out, transforming into a ten thousand foot black python that shattered the void and charged directly toward the Fourth Hall Master.
At a critical moment, striking first was naturally the best option.
However, facing the Divine Pavilion Master's astonishing offensive, the Fourth Hall Master remained as calm as an ancient well.
With a change of hand seals, a thin black light descended from the sky and finally hung down before him.
Within this light curtain, everyone could see stars connected to one another, resembling a map of the starry sky.
Boom!
The ten thousand foot black python slammed heavily into the black light curtain. Yet the seemingly fragile black light only rippled with layers of waves and showed no sign of breaking.
This terrifying defensive power made Mandala and the others unable to help but twitch their mouths.
Although they all knew of the power of a Saint Artifact, witnessing it firsthand still felt unbelievable.
This scene also caused the Divine Pavilion Master's face to twitch several times. With this kind of defense, how was he supposed to continue fighting?
With a thought, he already knew he had no chance of victory. He directly shattered the surrounding space with a palm strike, turned around, and prepared to flee.
This sight startled Mandala and the others. If he managed to escape to the outside world, they would suffer endless trouble in the future.
Among those present, only Liu Bai was still watching the show. Of course, while watching, he was also thinking about how to snatch the kill from the Fourth Hall Master.
As for escape, with the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid present, if this fellow were allowed to escape, the Fourth Hall Master might as well disperse his own true spirit.
And that was indeed the case.
With the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid suppressing the void, how could escape be so easy?
The rigid puppet face of the Fourth Hall Master remained icy cold as his hand seals changed once more.
In the next instant, countless stellar chains shot out from the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, directly binding the limbs of the Divine Pavilion Master. Ignoring his desperate struggle, they forcibly dragged him back.
Starlight wriggled across the surface of the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid, transforming into a dark black hole. Like a gaping mouth, it swallowed the Divine Pavilion Master in a single gulp.
Brilliant flames resembling starlight burned within the tower, continuously drilling into his body through his skin pores and breath.
Ah!
A miserable roar burst from the Divine Pavilion Master's mouth. Although no one could see the exact scene inside, merely hearing the sound caused Mandala and the others, who had already escaped danger, to tremble inwardly.
To make an Earth Sovereign emit such a scream, one could imagine the terrifying horror he was enduring.
Among everyone present, there was likely only one person who was anxious.
If he did not think of a solution soon, this kill would truly be taken by the Fourth Hall Master.
Liu Bai scratched his head in frustration. He wanted to say something, but realizing he had no authority to command the Fourth Hall Master, he could only let out a dejected sigh.
'Tens of millions of experience points, tens of thousands of spiritual pulse awakening points. Are they really going to slip away from me?"'
At this moment, the Divine Pavilion Master was much weaker than in the original story. So when facing the Starlight Demon Suppression Pyramid controlled by the Fourth Hall Master, he could not even self detonate his body as he had done in the original work.
However, just as he was about to be completely refined by the stellar flames, the Fourth Hall Master suddenly stopped his actions.
