All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Anyone who dares to touch my ancestors will be met with a rude awakening!"

With a loud roar, the first to charge out was not the people from Xuyun Peak and Qingyou Valley, but a sword, a strange and unusual sword.

This sword was crafted like shit, crooked and uneven, with an asymmetrical blade and no hilt. Any sword cultivator would find it disgusting and unbearable to look at.

Yet this very sword cleaved through the sky and appeared above Zhou Hai's head, blocking all attacks from all directions.

"boom……"

The sword light ripped through the sky, and the sharp sword energy collided with various attacks, instantly annihilating them.

Then various attacks struck the sword, shattering it into pieces.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

All that was heard was a scream as fragments of the sword flew in all directions, utterly destroyed. However, this successfully blocked the full-force attack of the four holy lands.

It should be noted that the weapons unleashed by the four holy lands were all sacred king artifacts left behind by their ancestors, their power unfathomable. Yet now, they were blocked by a mere sword.

Although the sword was shattered on the spot, its ability to withstand four sacred king artifacts at the same time is enough to show how extraordinary it was.

"Jianfengyun, what are you doing?"

On the Ji clan's side, Ji Guangmo was furious.

Although the sword was ugly, unlike anything he had ever seen or heard of, he immediately recognized who it was from the voice and aura.

That's right, it was Jianren Jianfengyun.

At this moment, the faces of the sages of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Great Tang Dynasty, and the Primordial Holy Land were all very grim.

Ignoring Jianfengyun's fate, all the saints poured their power into their ancestral saintly artifacts, unleashing boundless light, intending to completely kill Zhou Hai.

But at that moment, four more beams of light shot in.

The four Sacred King artifacts appeared around Zhou Hai at the same time and immediately became entangled with them.

Also arriving were seven others: the Three Saints of Xuyun Peak—Saint Daoxu, Saint Xuhai, and Old Daoist Xuyun; and the Four Saints of Qingyou Valley—Lianxing, Hongxue, Jinlian, and Yaochi.

The seven sages each poured all their power into the four sacred artifacts, successfully cutting off the killing.

The void beyond the nine heavens is cold, and as far as the eye can see, there is only darkness. Only the sun in the starry sky beyond the heavens shines brightly.

The sun casts its endless rays, which should illuminate the earth and radiate to every planet it can reach.

But at this moment, all the light that enveloped the ancient star was absorbed by a large bow, leaving not a trace.

This is the dazzling sun bow of the Yuan Dynasty.

With the combined efforts of the eight sages of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the divine bow had great power, drawing it to its full strength time and time again, continuously firing dazzling divine arrows that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

And hovering in front of the divine bow is a banner, the Star River Banner!

With the full support of the two saints, Hongxue and Yaochi, the Star River Banner also gained considerable momentum. In addition, with the full power of the artifact spirit, the Star River shone brightly as it swayed.

The countless stars beyond the void cannot be compared to the sun and moon.

But at this moment, countless rays of starlight descended, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, pouring down upon the heavens and earth.

Countless dazzling divine arrows burst forth, the starry sky reversed, the void trembled, and the void storm tore everything apart.

Even across the endless distance, the impact inevitably reached the ancient star below, causing a tremor across the northern wilderness.

The natal artifact of the founding ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel), so the descendants of the Ji clan liked to forge their Dao-attaining weapons into ding.

At this moment, the Holy King Cauldron of the Ji Clan's ancestor erupted with boundless light, and wherever it passed, it was as if a great star had fallen, with a sense of overwhelming weight that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

A tree stood blocking his way. The trunk swayed, and clouds drifted above it, as if heaven and earth had been reborn, yet it also seemed ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairyland.

The cauldron was a powerful weapon, capable of destroying heaven and earth, and nothing could escape its destruction. Yet, under the tree's principle of overcoming strength with gentleness, it was trapped within it, unable to unleash its supreme power for a time.

The ancestral weapon of the Tang Dynasty was a large banner called the Heavenly Army Banner!

Legend has it that the founder of the Tang Dynasty was a soldier who cultivated himself throughout his life and dominated the world with his military formations. In the end, he refined the spirits of countless heroes into the Heavenly Banner.

With a wave of the great banner, one can summon 100,000 heavenly soldiers, their killing aura soaring to the heavens.

At this moment, the banner waved wildly, and shouts of battle filled the air. Although no one could be seen, the overwhelming aura of killing intent was like that of ten thousand heavenly soldiers descending to destroy the world.

But blocking the way of this great banner was a blue lotus.

The blue lotus unfolded its nine petals, and streaks of blue light soared into the sky, vanishing all traces of killing intent wherever they passed.

The two sides fought back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand.

The ancestor of the Primordial Holy Land attained enlightenment through the Primordial Mountains. With lofty ambitions, he originally wanted to rebuild the Primordial Heaven. However, his strength did not allow it, and in the end, he could only forge a mountain seal based on a great mountain in the Primordial Mountains.

This mountain seal is mysteriously connected to the Primordial Beginning, so it is extremely powerful and is therefore named the Primordial Beginning Seal.

Wherever the great seal passed, it was as if a celestial mountain had fallen from the heavens, and no one could stop it.

But at this moment, a sword light streaked across the sky, capable of destroying heaven and earth. Countless sword energies intertwined, tearing apart the void, stirring up boundless storms, and clashing with the great seal, leaving it no time to spare for anything else.

The battlefield was too intense.

The eight sacred artifacts are all extraordinary. At this moment, the contest is not only about their own power, but also about the strength of those behind them.

Needless to say, the Holy King Sword and the Star River Banner are Zhou Hai's sacred artifacts, and their spirits should unleash their full power at this moment. However, no matter how strong their power is, the spirits cannot unleash it indefinitely.

Its remaining power is consumed extremely quickly, with no time to replenish it. At this point, it can only be replenished by the person wielding the weapon.

Similarly, the other sacred artifacts are the ancestral artifacts of various holy lands, and their spirits will unleash their full power at this time, ultimately relying on the person wielding the artifact to replenish it.

At this point, the side that holds out the longest will win.

Clearly, in the clash of sacred artifacts, both sides were evenly matched. However, in the comparison of the two saints, Zhou Hai's side suffered a great loss.

The people of Xuyun Peak and Qingyou Valley combined number only seven sages at most.

On the other hand, the Great Yuan Dynasty alone had eight saints. Adding in the Primordial Holy Land, the Ji Clan, the Great Tang Dynasty, and others, the total number of saints exceeded twenty.

In this comparison, it's only a matter of time before Xuyun Peak and Qingyou Valley are defeated, even if they possess the Four Great Sacred King Artifacts.

If they flee for their lives, those people can't do anything to them. But if they fight back forcefully, the consequences are unimaginable.

But at this moment, they couldn't care about anything else. They had to support Zhou Hai through this crisis, no matter what, even if it meant death.

If Zhou Hai were to encounter any mishap, they would not hesitate to leave the battlefield; presumably, these people wouldn't dare to truly fight to the death.

If Zhou Hai can overcome this difficulty, then they will have made the right bet today.

Putting aside Zhou Hai's many mysterious and unpredictable aspects, the potential he just displayed surpasses that of many emperors in their youth, and his future achievements are limitless.

If you bet everything on him, you're guaranteed to win as long as he doesn't die.

At this moment, Zhou Hai was still struggling to cross the river, and they had to persevere as well.

On the battlefield, the four Saint Kings were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle, both sides giving their all. Zhou Hai, caught in the middle of the battlefield, was also not having an easy time.

His blood and qi surged throughout his body, and as he refined essence into qi, his qi cultivation power surged again and again, breaking through the limit hundreds of times.

Every breakthrough is equivalent to breaking a constraint.

If Zhou Hai weren't only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, his Qi Refining cultivation would likely have broken through to the hundredth level. At that level, Zhou Hai's foundation was a thousand times more solid than that of other cultivators.

Time passed slowly, and finally, Master Xuyun could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, he was facing the Primordial Holy Land, where there were six saints wielding weapons, and each collision carried the power to destroy the world.

Although the Holy King Sword blocked most of the attacks for him, as the power of the saint was exhausted, even with the protection of the laws, he eventually could not withstand it.

If this continues, his life will be in danger in just a few rounds.

Following closely behind, Dao Xu Saint, Xu Hai Saint, Lian Xing, Hong Xue, Yao Chi, Jin Lian, and others also turned pale and were in imminent danger.

"puff……"

"puff……"

"puff……"

About fifteen minutes later, the men could no longer bear it and each spat out a mouthful of blood.

"what……"

At the same time, Master Xuyun let out a miserable cry, no longer able to withstand the attack, and was directly blasted away by the attack. Even the Saint King Sword was knocked away.

"You are seeking death!"

The sages of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Tang Dynasty, the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Primordial Holy Land were all enraged at this moment. With a roar, they attacked them simultaneously.

"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, even with the protection of the three sacred artifacts, the seven saints were shaken and exploded on the spot.

At the same time, even their sacred artifacts were cracked due to insufficient power, as if they were about to collapse.

"Do not……"

The voices of the seven people echoed in the void.

Clearly, they had all lost this battle of wits.

The consequences will not only be their deaths, but also the very lineage they have inherited will be wiped out.

"kill him!"

At this moment, the people from the four holy lands had no time to argue with them. Seeing them explode, they simultaneously concentrated their firepower on Zhou Hai.

In an instant, the Primordial Seal, the Heavenly Army Banner, the Zhou King's Cauldron, and the Dazzling Sun Divine Bow all erupted simultaneously, charging towards Zhou Hai.

Zhou Hai became the only point in the world. Faced with numerous attacks, his body exploded without any surprise, turning into a rain of blood.

"Completely wipe them out!"

Ji Guangmo of the Ji Clan roared, and the other people from the Holy Land joined forces, activating the Holy King Artifacts and unleashing boundless light to frantically refine the blood rain in the void.

"boom……"

But at that moment, a real gale swept in.

Yes, it was a real gale, not a void tremor, but an invisible spatial storm.

Logically, in this void, in this vacuum, sound shouldn't be able to travel, and wind shouldn't be able to form. Even if it were, it could only be something like a spatial rupture, creating a gale capable of tearing everything apart.

But then, a breeze actually appeared.

It was a violent current of air that swept across the sky, creating a massive vortex of blood rain.

At the center of the vortex, Zhou Hai's shattered body reappeared, even more powerful than before.

He finally survived the most dangerous moment, and with this final blow, he broke through and rebuilt his body, his internal energy transforming into a storm that was beyond human imagination.

"Not good, kill again!"

The people from the four holy lands changed their expressions drastically and attacked again, trying to kill Zhou Hai.

However, this time, when the dazzling divine arrow shot down, the Zhou King's Cauldron crashed down, the Primordial Seal suppressed and killed, and billions of killing energies burst forth, Zhou Hai opened his eyes.

"boom!"

In an instant, a storm arose and swept across the void.

Yes, it's a real storm.

At this moment, Zhou Hai unleashed a burst of energy that shook the heavens.

"boom!"

With a single punch, the chains of divine laws, imbued with a violent force, blasted the Zhou King's Cauldron away.

At the same time, he struck out with his other hand, his palm instantly enlarging as if it had transformed into a palm-shaped divine weapon, directly knocking the Primordial Seal away.

"Qiang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The dazzling divine arrow and the overwhelming killing intent swept over, enough to tear everything apart and pierce through everything.

But the moment it touched his body, it was as if it had struck a sacred artifact, producing a series of booming sounds, yet it could not harm him in the slightest.

"break!"

Zhou Hai's icy voice rang out as he struck out with his palm. A vortex-like black hole seemed to appear in his palm, annihilating everything in its path.

In an instant, all the murderous aura dissipated and vanished without a trace.

Finally, he grabbed the dazzling sun arrow, and with a flick of his arm, he transformed it into a sky full of light.

"Wow..."

The entire audience was shocked; everyone was stunned and stared at Zhou Hai in disbelief.

He... actually managed to block the full force of the four sacred artifacts all by himself, without using any external objects.

How can this be?

You should know that he is only at the Saint Realm level, so in theory he shouldn't be able to withstand the killing power of a Saint King's weapon.

But he did it, and he did it all, even when he was fighting four opponents at once.

Everyone knows he has many treasures, so if he uses those treasures to achieve this effect, everyone will accept it.

But what I'm seeing now is truly unbearable; it's such a blow.

"A bunch of clowns! I was hoping to let you live a couple more days. But since you're all so eager to jump out, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Come at me all at once, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

The blood rain was still gathering.

In fact, Zhou Hai's body had not fully recovered at this time. As the blood rain continued to condense, his body was becoming more and more substantial.

At this moment, he did not intend to use any other treasures; he wanted to see if he could destroy the four Saint King artifacts with his own hands.

This was different from when he dealt with the Demonic Sect's Great Sacred Artifact in the secret realm, where he secretly used other powers. This time, he really wanted to test his combat strength.
