The group of mighty figures immediately tore through s.p.a.ce-time and headed for another Great World in the fiendish dominions."Set up the array!"
Maitreya instructed.
Twelve Buddhist mighty figures acknowledged the order and headed to set up the World Transformation array.
Queen Mother, Ancestral Dragon, Yang Jian, Maitreya, Queen Mother and the mighty figures were responsible for being nearby to watch over the process, and once the array formation was set up, they would immediately head for the next Great World.
Once the array formation was set up successfully, they could use the array formation to seal the Great World"s s.p.a.ce-time, preventing the enemy from arriving by void tunneling. Even if the fiends wanted to attack, they would have to fly in from outside the Great Dao of s.p.a.ce-time! The time it would take to normally fly in… was enough time for Qin Yun and company to return to provide support. Besides, with the help of the array, the 12 mighty figures would be able to fend off even perfected Great Dao experts.
"These Great Worlds have actually been abandoned by the fiends."
"I thought they would leave behind some fiendish mighty figures to preside over the array formations and seal off s.p.a.ce."
"Unless the fiends join forces to resist, ordering a few fiendish mighty figures to defend the array formation is nothing but sending them to their deaths. Even if they seal off s.p.a.ce-time, we can similarly fly in. In order to stall for time, sending a few mighty figures to their deaths is not something the fiends would do."
"Even if Patriarch Blood Sea gave the order personally, few fiendish mighty figures would obey it when it"s simply sending themselves to their deaths."
The Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts mighty figures were very relaxed as they chatted leisurely.
"Among the ten Great Worlds, only the Six Desires Great World is unpredictable. The other Great Worlds do not even have a fiendish mighty figure," said Emperor Polestar with a laugh.
"I can sense a group of old guys in the Six Desires Great World," said Ancestral Dragon. "Back when the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor were around, these old guys were hiding away. Now, all of them have appeared, trying to join forces to test the rules the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor set up. G.o.d King Zhurong is similarly in the Six Desires Great World and standing among them."
"Hmph." Queen Mother snorted coldly. "All of them go by the law of the jungle! They treat the countless weak as ants and slaughter them without thought, casually trampling and dominating them. Although Zhurong had been imprisoned by G.o.ddess Nüwa for an extended period of time, he has not changed his character at all! G.o.ddess Nüwa shouldn"t have been merciful back then. She should have killed Zhurong just like how she dealt with Gonggong.
"Gonggong damaged Mt. Buzhou and deserved death for his sins," said Ancestral Dragon. "As for Zhurong, G.o.ddess Nüwa gave him a chance due to her merciful nature."
"Then, what do we do now?" Yang Jian inquired. "The fiends still have Zhurong and other ancient existences. Since they are gathered in the Six Desires Great World, I believe they will be using the terrain advantage and have set up powerful array formations as they await our entry."
"There"s no rush for us to enter," said Guan Yin with a smile. "Let"s take it slow and continue occupying the other Great Worlds. As for the Six Desires Great World, we shall put it aside and let them feel the unease. Let"s see how long they can last."
"Let"s make them feel unease first." Qin Yun also nodded in agreement.
…
Inside the Six Desires Great World.
The array formation had long been set up, and there was fiendish aura surging everywhere. A group of ancient existences were gathered here and leading them were Zhurong, Boxun, and Torch Dragon! The remaining ones were also perfected Great Dao existences.
Most of these ancient Chaos G.o.dfiends treated the weak as nothing but ants. Under the rule of the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor, some came under the Daoists and Buddhists and the neutral ones changed their character, but there were still many who remained unbridled. Some even went from neutral to worse. There were also some who put up with it due to the overall situation and acted! After the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor left, they revealed their true selves.
"Zhurong, the Daoist and Buddhist mighty figures are converting the Great Worlds one after another at this moment. Nine Great Worlds have been set up with array formations, and they aren"t coming to the Six Desires Great World. Are we just going to wait here foolishly?" a young stout man draped in armor asked.
"If I had a say, I"ll charge out directly and fight them. In the Six Desires Great World, the Fiendish Heavenly Dao blankets us… but we do not cultivate in fiendish Dharmic formulations, and we can"t use the Heaven and Earth powers either," said another fat bald man.
"All you know is killing." A charming woman curled her lips and scoffed. "We have an array formation here, raising our chances of victory by thirty percent. Besides, by being here, both us and the Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts are unable to use the Heaven and Earth powers. However, Boxun is able to and his strength will greatly increase! That will increase the chances of victory by another twenty percent. This battle is for our future. How can we abandon such a huge advantage?"
"Perhaps they might not come," said the fat bald man.
"Old Venom, have some patience," said Taowu with a frown.
Boxun, Zhurong, and Torch Dragon ignored them and only waited silently.
Even they did not have the means to fully restrain these bunch of old guys. After all, their strength was only slightly weaker than theirs, but each of them grasped a perfected Great Dao and had various means.
For instance, the Chaos Three Banes had lived to this day. Which of them was easy to deal with? Seven of the Ten Saints in the Universe from yesteryear were here as well. As for the other three, one of them was the lord of Yellowbeard World who had been killed by Qin Yun and Hou Yi. The other was Fiend Ancestor Black Lotus! Black Lotus kept a low profile early on. In terms of fame, he was inferior to Boxun, much less Zhurong and the rest. There was also Nine Neonate who wreaked havoc everywhere who also later died at Hou Yi"s hands. These Ten Saints in the Universe were not to be trifled with.
There were also six who had reached the perfected Great Dao realm after all these years. They were also part of the lineup.
Clearly, they were going to combine forces in the fight.
If they didn"t do so now, they would be destroyed by Qin Yun and company later.
These sixteen were only allies with Zhurong, Torch Dragon, and Boxun, and not true grunts. They were only together due to their common goals.
******
Qin Yun and company watched as the Three Realms Heavenly Dao entered the Great Worlds thanks to the World Transformation Array. Gradually, the range it infiltrated expanded and soon, a third of this Great World had been occupied.
"We have already waited for a day, but Zhurong and company continue remaining inside the Six Desires Great World," said Yang Jian. "Do we continue waiting?"
"There are two choices," said Emperor Polestar. "One, we ignore them. We will occupy the other 59 Great Worlds in the Three Realms. The Six Desires will be left to them, but they will definitely find it unacceptable. Once we return, they will definitely find other opportunities, or even sneak an attack. The outcome will be hard to predict. The other choice is to seize this opportunity and storm them. But doing so will be dangerous. They have definitely set up an array formation in the Six Desires Great World. Furthermore, the Fiendish Heavenly Dao envelops that world. Boxun is there and is capable of using the Heaven and Earth powers. Yet, we won"t be able to draw upon them."
Ancestral Dragon looked at Qin Yun. "Qin Yun, what"s your take?"
Everyone present looked at Qin Yun. Be they experts from the Heavenly Courts or the Buddhists, all of them looked at Qin Yun because there were only two half-step Heavenly Dao realm experts present. One of them was Qin Yun and the other was Ancestral Dragon.
Ancestral Dragon was only here to help and he was also asking Qin Yun.
"Although the Fiendish Heavenly Dao envelops that world, allowing Boxun to produce his greatest strength, Zhurong and the rest are not fiendish cultivators. Likewise, they are unable to use the Heaven and Earth powers," said Qin Yun. "As for array formations? I will set up the Misty Rain Array to protect all of us. We will be undefeatable."
"Undefeatable?" Queen Mother, Guan Yin, and the other mighty figures exchanged looks.
With Qin Yun saying this, they were more inclined towards doing battle.
"Make sure not to underestimate them," said Ancestral Dragon.
"I"m confident I can protect all of us," said Qin Yun. He had the Intrinsic Flying Sword and had figured out the second perfected Great Dao, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, so he was very confident when it came to defense. He was only lacking in confidence when it came to Hou Yi"s Essence Soul-burning ninth arrow. After all, that was capable of killing Bohan Island Lord"s avatar. But when it came to a one-on-one battle, no one in the Three Realms would allow Hou Yi to shoot nine arrows consecutively.
"The Daoist-Fiend war has gone on for tens of thousands of years. I"ve spent a lot of effort on my offensive means," thought Qin Yun as his eyes were filled with a cold glimmer. "I"ll take this opportunity to set up the rules in the Three Realms."
It was best if he could get rid of those baneful fiends.
"Alright! I agree as well. Let"s storm the Six Desires Great World," said Ancestral Dragon. He was a half-step Heavenly Dao realm of the Physical Establis.h.i.+ng Sage lineage. He was naturally unafraid of anyone.
"I"m agreeable as well." Yang Jian was burning with fighting spirit. As an expert who had pushed his Eight-Nine Arcane Art to a pinnacle state, he was in search of an opportunity to prove himself.
"In that case, let"s set up to rid of those fiends," said Maitreya with a smile.
Soon.
The Daoists, Buddhists, and Heavenly Courts tore through s.p.a.ce-time and arrived inside the Six Desires Great World.
"They actually didn"t seal s.p.a.ce-time."
"They probably left it open deliberately to let us in."
Qin Yun and company arrived deep inside the Six Desires Great World and moments after entering, they felt the sealing of s.p.a.ce-time. If they wished to leave again, they needed to slowly fly out.
"What rich fiendish aura." Guan Yin frowned slightly.
Qin Yun nodded slightly. "The Six Desires Great World"s fiendish aura far exceeded what it was in the past. It likely had to do with the present lord of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, Patriarch Blood Sea"s, sending of immense amount of fiendish aura to envelop the world. It made this place a sacred land for fiendish cultivators. With Boxun here, he could produce strength that was much higher than usual.
"Hahaha… You bunch of Daoists and bald donkeys sure are brave. I thought you would deliberately wait for a year or so outside."
"Old Venom, you have belittled them. They still have the guts to enter."
Accompanied by this cheery conversation, a ma.s.sive black cloud flew over from afar. Standing on it were a bunch of figures.
Qin Yun and company looked carefully.
Leading them was Zhurong, Boxun, and a cold-looking purple-robed man. There were also sixteen perfected Great Dao experts by their side. All of them had different auras.
"Perhaps more than half the perfected Great Dao existences in the Three Realms are gathered here," said Ancestral Dragon and Qin Yun with a laugh.
"Who"s that purple-robed man?" Qin Yun asked via a voice transmission.
"It"s Torch Dragon, but he has changed tremendously. In the past, his aura was domineering and oppressive, but it"s a lot more converged now," replied Ancestral Dragon via a voice transmission.
"You call this converged?" Qin Yun was surprised. He only felt that Torch Dragon was extremely arrogant and his aura was a little cold.
"That"s because you haven"t seen his past form. In the past, he was truly one to reign supreme," replied Ancestral Dragon.
Qin Yun nodded slightly.
Among the Chaos G.o.dfiends in the distance, Zhurong stood front and center. His fiery hair was disheveled as he swept his gaze across Qin Yun and company. He smiled and said, "Today, we aren"t here hoping to fight and kill. We just wish to bring our blessings onto all life in the Three Realms."
