Chapter 1891: Chapter 1706: Tian Jizi
"Yes!" Behind him, the nine Great Heavenly Masters shouted loudly in unison, their eyes equally filled with fervor, and each of them quickly positioned themselves in different places, forming the Nine Palaces position. Swiftly, they executed a sealing technique, with their hand seals changing thousands of times in an instant, as if embodying all the truths and principles of the Heavenly Mechanism Dao.
Ultimately, the nine Heavenly Masters each manifested different seals in their hands and shouted in unison: "Manifest, Soldiers, Fight, Be, The, Array, Positioned, In, Front!"
"Heavenly Reversal!"
Boom——
It was as if they had touched upon an unknown taboo. Following a loud noise on the previously empty Heavenly Dome, endless Heavenly Punishment Thunder descended, boundless and vast, pouring down to engulf the Divine Nine-layered Coffin in the center of the starry sky, and crashing toward the Emperor Body at a critical moment.
This was true terrifying Heavenly Punishment Thunder, where each bolt was enough to injure a Great Power. Now, thousands upon tens of thousands of Heavenly Punishment Thunderbolts were crashing down. Such horrific power was enough to startle even the Ancient Monarch.
Even Wanyan Seventeen’s desperate world-shattering strike, after fending off attacks from many powerful beings, had significantly dissipated. The massive crack in the starry sky of the Ancient Universe remained, yet the Heavenly Punishment Thunder was so broad, spanning both sides of the crack, landing on the Emperor Body and penetrating the surface’s Infinite Light, striking it directly.
The Emperor Body violently trembled!
Primordial Emperor’s Son’s body also began to tremble and was unexpectedly unable to merge any further. On the contrary, it forcibly detached somewhat.
At the same time, after executing this move, the nine Heavenly Masters seemed to age significantly all at once, their complexions pale without a trace of blood, eyes dim, faces marked by many wrinkles, and even some dreadful blood marks appearing on their foreheads.
Clearly, executing this technique required a tremendous cost because none of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder belonged to their true strength; instead, they borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao to manifest it.
The Heavenly Dao is vast, and cause and effect cycle endlessly. The more powerful the force, the greater the cost required.
After executing this move, the nine Heavenly Masters paid a huge price, with their lifespan drastically reduced by more than half, up to thousands or even tens of thousands of years, an undeniably significant sacrifice.
"I will remember your sacrifice, and I will impart some of the Heavenly Mechanism Secret Techniques to you in the future." The mysterious sage spoke, filling the nine Heavenly Masters with immense joy, making them feel their sacrifice was worthwhile.
Yet there was more, as the mysterious sage’s gaze grew profound: "After years of deductions and setting up countless strategies, everything was done just to await this moment. Let it end!"
Crack——
The Infinite Tribulation Light suddenly tore apart, a hazy light descending from the sky, merely ten feet in length, seemingly insignificant compared to any tribulation thunder.
Yet everyone, including the Five Ancient Sovereigns, immediately sensed a severe crisis from this hazy light.
"That is——"
Everyone’s expressions changed, realizing it posed an absolute threat to the lives of the Ancient Monarchs.
"Emperor’s Killing Intent!"
Those present were truly prominent figures, knowledgeable and worldly, naturally recognizing it and couldn’t help but gasp.
This was the terrifying Killing Intent of a real Supreme Emperor, condensed into light capable of annihilating everything in the world, enough to cause an Ancient Monarch to perish with the slightest mishap.
In the distant sky, the mysterious sage spoke: "This Emperor’s Killing Intent is something I painstakingly obtained from the Chaos Battlefield. I originally intended to refine it into a War Soldier, but today, in order to seize the Emperor Body, I release it without hesitation."
The Emperor’s Killing Intent light descended like a Heavenly Blade, directly slicing toward the head of the Primordial Emperor’s Son from behind.
Everything happened so quickly, leaving no room for evasion. At such a critical moment, the Primordial Emperor’s Son couldn’t avoid it, but his whole body glowed, laboriously maneuvering the Emperor Body upwards to unleash the Emperor Fist, clashing with the Emperor’s Killing Intent light.
Boom——
The Fiftyth Pass shook violently, and many massive cracks appeared on the ground. This mysterious Ancient City seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Blood light soared to the sky!
The Emperor Fist was bloody and mangled, white bones exposed, yet it managed to forcibly withstand the Emperor’s Killing Intent light.
"Ah!"
Inside the Emperor Body, the anguished roar of the Primordial Emperor’s Son echoed. The Light of Divine Soul at the forehead dimmed significantly in an instant, directly interrupted by the Emperor’s Killing Intent light, unable to continue the final step of fusion, resulting in a complete separation.
Moreover, this terrifying Killing Intent was excessively overwhelming, impacting the Divine Soul of the Primordial Emperor’s Son through the Emperor Body.
"You all should leave here at once. I alone can handle what comes next." The mysterious sage conveyed to the nine Heavenly Masters.
"Honoring the sage’s command!"
After respectfully bowing, the nine Heavenly Masters, under the Secret Treasure bestowed by the mysterious sage, quickly departed the Fiftyth Pass and then traversed domains to leave from afar.
Swoosh——
The mysterious sage suddenly rushed forward, charging toward the Emperor Body on the Pyramid Ancestral Altar.
At this moment, he completely seized the initiative. The Emperor Body was immobile, and all other powerful beings were held at bay, rendering him the sole individual able to descend to this place unhindered.
The Emperor Body was within reach, about to be secured!
"It’s you!"
At this juncture, Emperor Huang’s expression shifted, recognizing the individual and his face turning unsightly. He spoke with a somber tone: "Tian Jizi, I never expected even you would come!"
Indeed, this individual was none other than the most enigmatic and unpredictable Tian Jizi among the nine ancient road tyrants.
He had arrived as well.
"Tian Jizi!?"
Obviously, others had heard rumors about Tian Jizi, and their expressions changed accordingly.
In the path of deduction, Tian Jizi stood as the most outstanding paragon, profoundly deep and capable of deducing numerous matters, even the whereabouts and many secrets of other Ancient Road Dominators.
It was precisely for this reason that the other Ancient Road Dominators felt highly apprehensive, targeted by several among the nine ancient road tyrants seeking to kill him together.
Yet no one expected Tian Jizi would come here, scheming for the Emperor Body.
By now, many understood because they saw him with the nine Heavenly Masters earlier. They marveled at his deep cunning; even the nine Heavenly Masters were under his command, directed to aid in deducing the location of the Fiftyth Pass for the Ancient Monarchs.
Tian Jizi’s figure was shrouded and indistinct, veiled by the Heavenly Mechanism, making it hard to discern his true appearance. All that could be seen was his tall, slender form, possessing an elegant bearing akin to a scholar, yet he smiled at Emperor Huang and said: "Emperor Huang, if you can come, why can’t I? I’ve been plotting for a long time, and today is also my moment to seize the reward."
He advanced toward the Pyramid Ancestral Altar.
"Don’t even think about it!"
The others naturally wouldn’t allow Tian Jizi to seize the Emperor Body, but all they saw was Tian Jizi flicking his sleeve. Immediately, the heavens and earth roared, and the endless Heavenly Punishment Thunder summoned at the cost by the nine Heavenly Masters poured down, submerging the Fiftyth Pass and blocking everyone.
