Chapter 1057: Destruction Arrives

The nine golden pagodas built by the Five Great Alliances along the four borders of the Tianyuan Region also attracted the attention of various forces in Hunyuan Heaven. While Xi Jing and others could discern clues from the obscure Genesis Runes on the pagodas, Genesis Domain experts from other factions could likewise understand.

These nine golden pagodas were the work of Grand Exalted Wan Zu.

As everyone expected, Grand Exalted Wan Zu would absolutely not stop until his objective was achieved.

Previously, Grand Exalted Wan Zu had operated in the shadows, using the Five Great Alliances to target the Tianyuan Region. However, previous failures had clearly angered the Grand Exalted, leading him to abandon all pretense this time.

Grand Exalted Wan Zu was willing to sacrifice some prestige to destroy the Tianyuan Region.

The Grand Exalted's resolve sent shivers down the spines of many factions, making it clear that this time, the Tianyuan Region's impending doom was unavoidable.

This was a cataclysmic event capable of shaking all of Hunyuan Heaven, so various forces turned their attention to watch as the nine golden pagodas were gradually completed.

Western border of the Tianyuan Region.

Hundreds of miles beyond the border, on a towering mountain, a nine-story golden pagoda stood silently. Sunlight shone down, causing golden light to surge around it. The ancient Genesis Runes on its surface seemed to subtly writhe like living things, emitting an unsettling, faint fluctuation.

High above this mountain, Genesis Domain experts from the Five Great Alliances, including Hong Jiuyuan and Guiyuan Mountain Lord, had gathered.

They gazed at the formed golden pagoda below, exchanging glances, and a sense of relief emerged in their eyes.

If Grand Exalted Wan Zu's words were true, then today would mark the end of the Tianyuan Heaven, and they would have completed their mission...

The thought of the promises Grand Exalted Wan Zu had made to them upon completion of the mission filled even their tempered hearts with a mix of excitement and impatience.

"The nine pagodas are formed..."

Guiyuan Mountain Lord took a deep breath and looked at Hong Jiuyuan, saying, "Prepare to act."

Hong Jiuyuan nodded. He scanned the surrounding void, sensing many powerful auras lingering, subtly observing them. These likely included several Genesis Domain experts from the Tianyuan Region.

But he was unconcerned. This grand event required an audience to ensure the Five Great Alliances became renowned throughout Hunyuan Heaven. At that point, it was possible the Five Great Alliances would replace the Tianyuan Region and become one of Hunyuan Heaven's new Nine Domains.

"Xi Jing, you can watch the doom of the Tianyuan Region unfold with your own eyes!"

"Everyone, get ready."

Hong Jiuyuan looked at the other Genesis Domain experts.

They all nodded, and then their figures vanished into thin air like wisps of smoke, clearly revealed as Genesis Qi avatars.

Their true bodies, meanwhile, appeared at the other golden pagodas situated at the four borders of the Tianyuan Region.

Seeing that all the Genesis Domain experts were in position, Hong Jiuyuan then sneered towards the void.

At the same time, Hong Jiuyuan swiftly formed hand seals. The ancient Genesis Runes on the golden pagoda began to illuminate one by one. The Genesis Qi in the heavens and earth surged violently, and a terrifying fluctuation, powerful enough to change the expressions of Genesis Domain experts, emanated from within the golden pagoda.

The many eyes watching were shaken. Such power... it was clear that even Grand Exalted Wan Zu had invested immense effort into creating these golden pagodas.

The Genesis Qi from the heavens and earth surged towards the golden pagoda, eventually forming an endless Genesis Qi vortex above its apex.

The vortex was dense and profound, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.

At this moment, within a radius of ten thousand miles around the golden pagoda, everyone felt the Genesis Qi of the heavens and earth becoming noticeably thinner. This was incredibly alarming, as Genesis Qi was vast and boundless; to weaken it over such a wide area by oneself indicated an immense level of power.

The Genesis Qi vortex rotated slowly, finally roaring downwards and submerging entirely into the nine-story golden pagoda.

Then, the golden pagoda erupted with billions of golden rays. Its dazzling brilliance was so intense that it completely overshadowed the light of the blazing sun.

Simultaneously, the other eight golden pagodas around the Tianyuan Region also burst forth with magnificent golden light.

Tianyuan Heaven.

Within Tianyuan Heaven at this moment, the atmosphere was oppressive and stagnant.

Xi Jing and the other five Grand Elders stood in the void. All the elite cultivators of the Tianyuan Region had gathered within the heaven, with powerful Genesis Qi fluctuations filling the sky and earth.

In the void above, a massive light screen displayed the nine golden pagodas glowing brightly.

Xi Jing watched this scene with a livid expression, gritting her teeth as she said, "Each of these golden pagodas requires a Genesis Domain expert to activate it... When did the Five Great Alliances get nine Genesis Domain cultivators?!"

Others couldn't tell, but they could clearly sense that a Genesis Domain expert was stationed within each golden pagoda. However, this number of Genesis Domain experts clearly exceeded the Five Great Alliances' capabilities!

Sect Master Xuankun and the others also had grim expressions. Genesis Domain experts didn't just appear out of nowhere, so it was clear that these additional Genesis Domain experts must have come from Wan Zu Domain!

For today's situation, Grand Exalted Wan Zu had clearly completely disregarded his prestige, directly sending Genesis Domain experts from Wan Zu Domain to secretly participate in the battle.

Xi Jing took a deep breath, her gaze suddenly falling on Zhou Yuan's figure below, her lips moving slightly.

At the same time, Xi Jing's faint voice reached Zhou Yuan's ear: "If Tianyuan Heaven shatters today, I will teleport you out at the last moment. Hunyuan Heaven is vast and boundless, even Wan Zu Domain cannot fully explore it. You should be relatively safe then."

Zhou Yuan's pupils constricted slightly. Xi Jing's words sounded like a final instruction, clearly indicating that even if Tianyuan Heaven truly shattered, Xi Jing had no intention of fleeing; she would choose to perish with it.

Zhou Yuan clenched his fists, staring at the light screen in the void. The nine golden pagodas emanated a destructive aura, and at this moment, he once again felt his own insignificance.

He had already been forced to flee from Cangxuan Heaven, and now, he truly did not want to be forced to leave the Tianyuan Region again...

Hong Jiuyuan gazed at the destructive power emanating from the golden pagoda, his expression growing exceptionally solemn. He then raised his hand, and a golden crystal appeared. Inside the crystal, a faint golden cloud was visible, from which endless golden lightning bolts erupted, releasing extremely violent fluctuations.

It was precisely the rare artifact taken from the Golden Lightning Abyss!

He flicked his finger, and the rare artifact rapidly ascended, hovering above the boundless void.

That position was precisely at the center of the nine golden pagodas.

"Boom!"

The next instant, the nine golden pagodas, having reached their peak readiness, suddenly trembled violently. Nine golden torrents, ten thousand feet high, shot into the sky. The power contained within them caused the surrounding space to continuously shatter, sending countless spatial fragments flying.

Under countless shocked gazes, the nine golden torrents directly struck the golden crystal in the boundless void.

Boom, boom, boom!

The void continuously collapsed.

The terrifying Genesis Qi fluctuations sent shivers down the spines of even the Genesis Domain experts observing the scene.

Buzz!

Rapid ripples spread across the golden crystal. The next moment, the crystal rotated, its surface shimmering with countless lines of light. These lights quickly converged, astonishingly pointing towards a specific location in the void of the Tianyuan Region.

"Found it," Hong Jiuyuan said, a cold smile playing on his lips.

That was the entrance to the Tianyuan Heaven!

The nine converging golden torrents, guided by some force, enveloped the golden crystal and, with destructive momentum, grandly pierced through the void. Finally, under countless shocked gazes, they fiercely struck the spatial location of the Tianyuan Heaven's entrance!

Destruction descended at this moment!
