Chapter 1427: Ancient Sage Shakes the Primordial Unity

The three ancient Sovereigns of All-Heavens were clashing with the Saint Race's ancient Saints in the chaotic void. This commotion naturally did not escape the notice of the Saints of All-Heavens, who had all become fully vigilant. Such massive activity from the Saint Race surely indicated some scheme!

Meanwhile, at Cangxuan Heaven's realm barrier, a colossal array, terrifying in its size, was slowly descending. Once it fully connected with the realm barrier, it would be able to draw power from Cangxuan Heaven. Only then would the Primordial Saint Slaying Array be able to operate at full capacity, completely enveloping Cangxuan Heaven in its protection. At that point, Cangxuan Heaven would be secure, no longer needing to fear further interference from the Saint Race.

Inside Cangxuan Heaven, Zhou Yuan stood in the void, his gaze fixed on the realm barrier, his eyes filled with vigilance.

Rumble!

As his emotions fluctuated, the Genesis Qi of Cangxuan Heaven began to boil and surge, eventually forming clouds behind Zhou Yuan in the void, amidst which lightning, gales, and flames raged simultaneously. The terrifying power contained within them was so immense that it made Sect Master Qingyang and the others tremble with fear.

However, since they had not yet reached the Saint stage, they naturally couldn't perceive what was happening at the realm barrier. Therefore, they were somewhat bewildered by Zhou Yuan's sudden, grand display of manipulating Cangxuan Heaven's power. From Zhou Yuan's current demeanor, he appeared even more tense than he had been when dealing with Sheng Yuan previously.

Zhou Yuan, holding the Cangxuan Saint Seal and wielding the vast power of Cangxuan Heaven, simultaneously turned his gaze to Sect Master Qingyang and the others, saying, "Quickly retreat from this area." Although he didn't know what the Saint Race's next move would be, even Ancient Sovereign Jin Luo had sent a warning, implying that the action was bound to be earth-shattering. The black light that had previously shot straight towards him, Zhou Yuan still hadn't been able to locate it, even now. This made him quite uneasy. He had a premonition that the Saint Race's next move was likely aimed directly at him. Therefore, under these circumstances, Sect Master Qingyang and the others needed to stay far away. With their strength, they wouldn't even be qualified to intervene in the upcoming struggle.

Hearing this, Sect Master Qingyang and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. They could discern the gravity and apprehension in Zhou Yuan's words, so they wasted no words and quickly withdrew. Xi Jing, Su Youwei, Wu Yao, and others had worried looks in their eyes, but they did not insist on staying. Zhou Yuan, now in command of Cangxuan Heaven, possessed power no less than that of a Saint. If there truly was a force capable of threatening him now, then their presence would only be a burden.

In just a short while, an area spanning a million miles was cleared. It was at this moment that Zhou Yuan's gaze, fixed on the realm barrier, sharply narrowed.

There, the chaotic void suddenly tore open, and an enormous, seemingly endless hand stretched out from within. Enveloped in destruction, it directly slammed into the Primordial Saint Slaying Array, which was descending towards Cangxuan Heaven's realm barrier.

Boom!

As the two collided, endless peals of thunder seemed to explode, and the entire Cangxuan Heaven was shaken by booming sound waves, as Genesis Qi spontaneously burst forth. Zhou Yuan waved his sleeve, and layer upon layer of vast barriers appeared beneath the realm barrier, alleviating the destructive sound waves. But his expression became somewhat grim at this moment, for he had already understood from that colossal hand how powerful the attacker was.

This had to be an ancient Saint from the Saint Race! Only an ancient Saint would possess such capability, daring to directly confront the Primordial Saint Slaying Array!

Boom! Boom!

Shockwaves, each a million miles wide, continuously erupted from the Primordial Saint Slaying Array, crushing the small spaces born within the chaotic void. This level of confrontation made Zhou Yuan's eyelids twitch involuntarily. Fortunately, the Primordial Saint Slaying Array possessed extraordinary power. Even though it wasn't yet fully connected to Cangxuan Heaven, preventing its full power from being unleashed, it still managed to block the ancient Saint.

"It truly is aimed at me."

As the Saint Race's ancient Saint pried at the Primordial Saint Slaying Array, Zhou Yuan also felt a malevolent gaze pierce through layers of void, locking onto him. Just then, the chaotic void tore open once more, and another colossal hand slowly descended, also entering the Primordial Saint Slaying Array.

Another ancient Saint had made a move!

Throughout All-Heavens, the Saints also perceived the anomaly here, and their expressions collectively changed. If one added the Saint Race's ancient Saints who were intercepting the three ancient Sovereigns—Jin Luo, Dilong, and Chiji—then the Saint Race had now deployed five ancient Saints! Such a large-scale deployment was simply the first time since the Great World Annihilation War! Furthermore, weren't the Saint Race's ancient Saints supposed to be pouring their power into the holy mountain to sustain the sleeping Saint God? How were they able to act now?!

As the Saints of All-Heavens watched, their hearts trembling and expressions changing, with the simultaneous actions of those two ancient Saints, the Primordial Saint Slaying Array finally began to show some tremors. A crack began to appear at one corner of the array. Although the Primordial Saint Slaying Array was powerful, it was not yet fully activated at this moment. Therefore, under the combined might of the two ancient Saints, a flaw still appeared.

However, the opposing two ancient Saints also found it difficult to destroy it. They could only use brute force to forcibly widen the crack. While the two sides were in a stalemate, these two ancient Saints were unable to do anything else. Otherwise, the Primordial Saint Slaying Array would erase their power and quickly recover.

Zhou Yuan watched this scene, his face grave. At this moment, there was little he could do. He could only exert his full strength to activate the countless Genesis Qi tendrils extending from the realm barrier, connecting them to the Primordial Saint Slaying Array to add a bit more power. He was currently the Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven. He would have no apprehension facing ordinary Saints, but against an ancient Saint of this caliber, he still lacked the qualifications to directly confront them.

However, his actions did not have much effect. As the two ancient Saints unleashed their full power, the crack at one corner of the Primordial Saint Slaying Array outside Cangxuan Heaven's realm barrier became increasingly pronounced. Finally, with a faint sound, the crack was breached, directly connecting to Cangxuan Heaven.

And it was at the moment the crack appeared that two heaven-piercing beams of light surged from the chaotic void. They passed through the crack, ultimately piercing through Cangxuan Heaven. As the light dissipated, two figures abruptly appeared in the void before Zhou Yuan. Both stood with their hands behind their backs, gazing at Zhou Yuan with indifferent eyes.

When these two figures appeared in Cangxuan Heaven, the Saints of All-Heavens all changed color. Even the three ancient Sovereigns—Jin Luo, Dilong, and Chiji—who were currently battling powerful foes, lost their composure, their faces grim as water.

"Mojie..."

"Heizhao..."

These two figures, who had penetrated the Primordial Saint Slaying Array to enter Cangxuan Heaven, were none other than the Saint Race's last two ancient Saints who had not yet made a move! In other words, by this point, all seven ancient Saints of the Saint Race had made their move!

At this moment, everyone felt a bone-chilling coldness emerge from their hearts. What did it mean for all seven ancient Saints of the Saint Race to act? Was this a sign that the Saint Race was initiating the Great World Annihilation War?! And with two ancient Saints entering Cangxuan Heaven, how could Cangxuan Heaven possibly defend itself now?!
