A roar, as if from ancient times, reverberated from beyond the boundary wall of Cangxuan Heaven. This vast, ancient sound echoed through every corner of Cangxuan Heaven, stirring up an endless storm.
Accompanying the ancient sound, the immense Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array slowly descended. At the boundary wall, countless tentacle-like beams of light rose, pulling the array and gradually bringing it into contact with the wall.
All the Saints of the heavens witnessed this scene and were instantly invigorated. They knew that once the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array settled, Cangxuan Heaven would once again be under its protection. At that point, even the Ancient Saints of the Sacred Race would not dare to face the power of the array alone and would have to retreat.
It appeared Cangxuan Heaven was gaining an initial advantage in today's battle.
Within Cangxuan Heaven, Cang Yuan and the other eight Saints naturally heard the ancient roar from beyond the boundary wall. They breathed a sigh of relief, as Zhou Yuan had indeed not disappointed them. During the time they had bought, he had finally pulled the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array back.
Previously, the Sacred Race had dispatched two Ancient Saints to hold back the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array, causing it to become chaotic and vulnerable. This allowed Mo Jie and Hei Zhao to seize the opportunity and infiltrate Cangxuan Heaven. However, since the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array was the strongest protective force in the heavens, even with their full might, the two Ancient Saints could only forcefully restrain it, resulting in a protracted stalemate.
But as Zhou Yuan attained sainthood and joined this tense struggle as the Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven, the stalemate began to shift.
Normally, even though Zhou Yuan had now attained sainthood, it would be unlikely for him to contend with two Ancient Saints. However, this struggle was not about individual strength. Zhou Yuan didn't need to directly confront the two Ancient Saints; all he needed to do was strengthen the connection between Cangxuan Heaven and the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array.
With the pulling force of Cangxuan Heaven's entire domain, the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array easily broke free from the two Ancient Saints' entanglement and truly returned to its position, settling before the boundary wall.
The return of the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array would also bring about a conclusion to today's battle.
In the void, the two Ancient Saints, Hei Zhao and Mo Jie, wore grim expressions. Their gaze pierced into the depths of the void, watching the slowly descending Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array. At this moment, even beings of their caliber felt a subtle, looming sense of danger.
The Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array was like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, ready to strike at any moment.
"Gentlemen, this show should end today," Cang Yuan said, staring at the two Ancient Saints. He then gestured towards the outside of the boundary wall. "Please."
It wasn't that he didn't want these two Ancient Saints of the Sacred Race to perish there, but Cang Yuan understood that at their level, they possessed too many life-preserving methods. It was exceedingly difficult to kill them. Only if the three Ancient Venerables of the Return to Ruin Divine Hall acted, with the aid of the Primal Chaos Array's power, could these two Ancient Saints truly be obliterated.
But at present, the three Ancient Venerables were preoccupied, and it was clearly impossible for them alone to deal with two Ancient Saints.
Mo Jie and Hei Zhao swept a detached gaze over Cang Yuan. Then their gaze shifted to Zhou Yuan, remarking with what seemed like a touch of emotion, "The heavens truly still possess some fortune, to be able to produce a character like you."
For today's scheme, the Sacred Race had prepared exceptionally well; even all seven Ancient Saints had made their move. Yet, in the end, Zhou Yuan had still managed to carve out a path. This ability surprised even an Ancient Saint like Mo Jie, making him take notice.
Zhou Yuan remained calm and did not reply. He was secretly activating the Primal Chaos Array, because once the array fully returned to its complete position, he could borrow its power as the Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven. At that point, he should be able to pose a real threat to the two Ancient Saints.
"Do you intend to use the power of the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array against us? What ambition!"
However, his intentions did not escape Mo Jie and Hei Zhao. With deep gazes, they watched Zhou Yuan and said, "Do you believe you've already won this battle?"
Zhou Yuan still did not reply. His eyes, however, suddenly turned cold, filled with killing intent.
At this moment, a colossal sound suddenly echoed from the boundary wall, as a terrifying and vast power abruptly descended.
Ten thousand streams of light descended. Within these streams, many indistinct human figures seemed to form, each containing extremely terrifying power, seemingly no weaker than a Saint.
Such a gathering in such numbers was truly vast and immense, capable of sweeping away everything in the world.
This power naturally came from the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array, and the one who activated it was none other than Zhou Yuan!
The mysterious streams of light swept down, directly targeting Mo Jie and Hei Zhao.
Mo Jie and Hei Zhao also sensed the power emanating from the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array, and their faces immediately became much graver. However, unexpectedly, they still did not directly retreat.
With deep and chilling gazes, they watched Zhou Yuan. A moment later, Mo Jie said faintly, "The more astonishing potential you display, the more resolute my Sacred Race becomes in our resolve to eliminate you today."
"Zhou Yuan, you brought all this upon yourself."
As he finished speaking, Mo Jie and Hei Zhao suddenly simultaneously extended a hand, their palms facing each other.
At this moment, the attack from the Primal Chaos Saint-Slaying Array had also arrived. Terrifying streaks of light swept over their bodies, and mottled marks began to appear on them. The sensation was as if they had been infected by an unimaginably potent venom.
The immense power and pressure emanating from within their bodies began to fluctuate.
This was the first time the two Ancient Saints had sustained injuries since their appearance.
But what was surprising and alarming was that, ignoring their injuries, space violently twisted between their opposing palms, as if forming a black hole. The next instant, a black spear slowly emerged from the black hole.
The black spear was profoundly dark. And when it appeared, even Cang Yuan and the others' expressions drastically changed, because they detected more than one aura on it that filled them with dread.
It was the aura of Ancient Saints!
And there were seven such auras on the black spear!
This meant that this black spear actually carried the power of seven Ancient Saints!
To deal with Zhou Yuan, the Sacred Race had gone to such an extreme?!
It should be known that this method was not merely a simple empowerment. The black spear must have been refined from the essence blood of seven Ancient Saints; only then could it carry their power.
And how rare was the essence blood of an Ancient Saint, let alone seven of them!
The power contained within this black spear, if given the right opportunity, would be enough to severely wound an Ancient Venerable of the heavens!
Yet now, just to deal with Zhou Yuan, the Sacred Race had unleashed such a trump card? How utterly insane was this?!
As the Saints were horrified, Zhou Yuan's heart also sank abruptly. He felt a deadly sense of crisis, so intense that the hair on his entire body stood on end. His newly formed Saint Physique even pricked with a needle-like pain, warning him that the power of that black spear was enough to destroy him.
Zhou Yuan also hadn't expected the Sacred Race to go to such lengths just to deal with him. Wouldn't such a deadly weapon be more effectively used against the three Ancient Venerables?
Had these people truly gone mad?
His mind racing, Zhou Yuan almost without hesitation activated the power of Cangxuan Heaven. His figure began to turn ethereal, seemingly present yet empty upon perception, as if he had vanished from reality.
He understood that at this moment, the only thing he could do was desperately evade!
With that power, an ordinary Saint would die instantly upon contact!
Mo Jie looked at Zhou Yuan's seemingly real yet ethereal figure. A sarcastic smile curved his lips as he flicked his finger.
The black spear vanished into thin air, as if it had escaped into the river of time and space.
Directly targeting Zhou Yuan!
