At the same time, outside of the Cloud World, in the void.

The Demon Path Saint Hongyi sighed regretfully.

“Utilising the God Spirit to form a body, your Taoist Faction really is willing to splurge.”

He was focusing on Yugang Mountain. Between the four of them, there were four weird powers interfering.

Most of the time, they were unable to look into the Cloud World.

However, in that instant, when their strengths were balanced out, the scenes before them clearly entered their eyes.

Apart from pity, he also mocked.

It was formed from faith, a billion believers of Taoism only gave rise to more than 400 God Spirits.

This True Martial God Lord was the strongest one below the three Ancestors of Taoism. It had the most believers and was the best at killing.

During these 100 years, the Daoling Vast Habitat has never used it. The accumulated Faith God Power was used to form a body. Without restrictions from the Cloud World, its combat strength could reach Celestial Realm!

Yugang Mountain had close to 20,000 Taoist disciples who could buff it!

Since they were able to use this God Spirit to form a body, then this time it definitely wasn’t the only one!

Using the True Martial Seven Part Formation to invite the Gods, Daoling Vast Habitat could at least obtain three of them.

No matter what, Zong Shou had no chance of winning.

Zhongguang’s eyes were filled with glee.

“A Lion would go out when it fights a rabbit, much less this unrivaled Monster King? Today, my Taoist Faction will go all out. Wu Xu has done it well, as expected from someone the Revered One has high hopes for…”

Mingyu frowned, he was a little worried. He also didn’t have high hopes for this battle as his hands grabbed onto the sword.

Zong Shou was the only hope for Common People’s Path these few years and naturally he couldn’t sit still and watch him face danger.

Spreading out Spiritual Sense, he was already mentally connected with the two far away in the void.

When it was dangerous, even if Zong Shou wasn’t willing, they would forcefully act to save him!

Hongyi scoffed coldly, shaking his head and standing up. Thinking back to before at the sharp and unstoppable aura, when Zong Shou broke the nine barriers, his face looked pitiful.

Just three breaths and he would have won…

If Zong Shou could break that formation in time, he would be able to wipe out those Six Sects. But, there was no hope now…

“Forget it! The matter today is over. Hongyi will take my leave…”

Without any hesitation he turned and left. With victory decided, there was no point remaining here. He wasn’t willing to see the grin on Zhongguang’s face.

However, thinking about the benefits that the Demon Sect got, he couldn’t help but smile.

The only thing he was unhappy about was that 30% of the mines and Spiritual Mountains were taken by Common People’s Path.

Zhongguang’s lips curled coldly as he stared at Yugang Mountain within the Cloud World.

Hongyi left so there was no one that could stop him from interfering in this battle. He had to personally kill Zong Shou!

However, right as he was about to break open space, a gentle and magnetic male voice sounded out.

“It is over? That might not be the case.”

Hongyi was startled and looked back to see a white-robed teen step over from the distance.

“Brother Ao?”

His brow raised and joy appeared in Hongyi’s eyes. Interesting!

This person was nowhere to be seen before. At this time, he had finally rushed over. Who knows, there might be a chance in all this.

“Why would it not be the case?”

Aokun walked to the front of them, carefully sizing up Mingyu, “I don’t think the Taoist Faction will definitely win. My good friend most probably won’t lose…”

Zhongguang’s heart sank, his eyes squinting cautiously, “So you came over because you want to interfere?”

Unless Aokun personally interfered, he couldn’t think of how Zong Shou stood any chance.

The white-robed teen laughed, “Naturally not! Aokun has heard of the agreement of the past. Although I didn’t swear on it, I won’t go against it. Why don’t we just wait quietly for the outcome…”

After he finished, he directly sat down.

Zhongguang scoffed coldly and stopped speaking. Hongyi thought about it for a moment and then sat down.

The other Taoist frowned and looked closely at Aokun.

He felt that the ancient Evil Dragon was a little off.

His aura was more explosive, the Destructive Energy was thicker and he didn’t bother to hide it, letting it charge about. On closer inspection, one could hear Dragon Roars.

Coincidentally, Aokun smiled as he looked over. The Taoist’s eyes froze as he retracted his gaze. His heart was filled with much doubt.

However, in the next instant, he was worried about Yugang Mountain once more.

What other ability do you have to make Aokun say such bold words?

　　※※※※

At Yugang Mountain Hall, Zong Shou’s body flashed. He dodged a Fire Dragon Chain which was thrown at him.

Following this, he waved his sword and slashed out, coincidentally blocking a 1,000-foot long sword that slashed down.

The giant force caused him to fly back 1,000 feet. Right as he stopped, his body flashed once more and dodged a few spells.

In the past when he fought, he didn’t need to dodge. He just used Space Techniques to slightly switch between inside and outside of the world, such that no one could hurt him.

After obtaining the Book of Eon and the incomplete Book of the Universe, he was extremely familiar with this ability.

If one wasn’t strong enough, one couldn’t hurt him at all.

However, he couldn’t do that today. The three Spirit Realm Experts who teleported over using the formation, all had the ability to hurt him through space.

The Sect Leader of Ping An Temple did too.

This was why he was unable to stay in the air peacefully.

His arm also felt numb. The strong sword power of that heavy sword was more than 50% that of his.

There was also a bone reaching freezing power which nearly froze up his body. Although he didn’t fear the electrical currents wrapped outside, instead of being able to strengthen his wings, it still made him terrified.

What made him helpless was that he was unable to swallow the God Power…

While Zong Shou was frowning, the heavy sword slashed down once more. The giant force wasn’t any less than the force of the last sword.

This time, he didn’t receive it head-on but jumped 7,000 feet up, only to find himself looking right at a giant person.

He was wearing armor, holding a giant sword, his body was giving off a Godly Saint-like energy. Darkness spread across the sky, it was vast like the ocean, totally endless.

His look and attire were exactly the same as the True Martial God Lord that people prayed to in those temples.

This was a God Spirit? This was the first time he saw one.

The True Martial in legends was something comparable to Peak God Realm Experts and hadn’t appeared in a long time. This one was undoubtedly an incarnation of it.

The moment the giant’s sword missed, he flicked upward in a clean manner!

It seemed effortless, but it still had huge strength.

However, the eyes of the Giant were emotionless as if it had no mind of its own.

Zong Shou didn’t find anything weird with that. The so-called God Spirit was born from statues. After many months and years, numerous intents formed it. So how could it have a mind of its own?

Better ones like this one would have a Xiantian Spirit as its source and could grasp some laws. However, it would also be infected by the faith and thoughts of the people.

Even if it had a mind of his own, the Taoist Faction had millions of ways to remove it. This was their Taoist Faction Protector, how could they allow it to have a mind to escape out of their control?

Another sword clashed and there was a loud explosion. Zong Shou retreated backward, but he was still calm.

His eyes flashed. The True Martial God Lord’s God Power Incarnation was stronger than him, but its Sword Technique changes were far weaker.

Who knows what method the Taoist Faction used to create it. Even if it didn’t have a mind, it didn’t rely on instincts to fight, its Sword Technique and spells were really skilled too.

However, it was unable to be like a true cultivator and change flexibly. In just a few slashes, he would be confident in striking it down.

If in the next slash, if nothing changed, then he would counter-attack.

In that instant, a fiery glow spread out. A giant axe slashed down.

Zong Shou’s heart jumped a little, immediately tearing open space. When he appeared once more, he was 10,000 feet away.

He raised his head and looked out, only to see a True Martial Sword Formation that had formed. It was also in the air worshipping a God Spirit which was covered in red flames and charging out from another statue.

Its body was huge, 6,700 feet. Its strength was around the same level as that of the True Martial God Lord.

Flames and the black light entangled with one another, lighting up the space.

“This is Bright Flame True Lord?”

With just one look, Zong Shou knew where he came from. It was a presence in the Taoist Faction on the same level as the True Martial God Lord.

The 400 God Spirits of the Taoist Sect weren’t its true strength.

It was said that during the Cloud Desolate Era, those three Gods had the ability to fight End Realm Experts.

It slept in the Taoist Heavenly Palace, only because they suffered heavy losses in one battle, and to date it still hadn’t awakened.

Only the incarnations of the five God Lords could be used. During these 10,000 years they charged all over, earning them huge benefits.

Slightly distracted, he heard a cold laugh from beside him, “Ruler is in a desperate situation and is about to fall. At such a time, you still dare to be distracted, you really are worth your fame of being unrivaled. Are you prepared to give up?”

When these words were spoken, a giant Phoenix landed from the Heavens. It was extremely perfect and flawless with golden flames.

He could sense a young Taoist standing beside him.

Before, he had heard the Ping An Temple Sect Leader call him Qiuhua.

He also knew that he was one of Wu Xu’s disciples.

He had some skill! The fire Phoenix seemed like it was using a fire element ability, but there were some changes within.

It was a corrupting flame…

What Qiuhua learned was actually the path of Corroding.

His 30,000-foot Lightning Wings spread out, the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash spread out and went up against the Flame Ocean that charged over.

A golden Sword Light slashed out from his hand at the same time.

Nine True Dragon Yellow Sword!

It could extinguish flames and allowing one to corrode it was fine!

Easily crushing the Fire Phoenix…

Qiuhua’s expression changed. He knew that there was a gap between Zong Shou and him, but he didn’t think that it would be so huge!

If he didn’t rely on the help of the God Spirits today, it would be a tough battle that would end with heavy casualties.

In the next moment, he was delighted. He saw another ball of God Power spread out on the Yugang Mountain Peak.

Zong Shou was definitely going to fall!
