Chapter 616: Jiang Taishen's Means

Violent Genesis Qi raged between heaven and earth, whipping up storms.

The moment both sides made their move, Yao Yao and Ye Ge, positioned on a hilltop, suddenly unleashed their soul power. Holding Genesis Rune Pens, they launched countless Genesis Runes.

These Genesis Runes, like rays of light, descended directly onto the locations of Shengzi like Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, and Kong Sheng. Instantly, pillars of Genesis Qi rose from their respective hilltops.

A light barrier quickly spread between the pillars, eventually connecting all the peaks where the other Shengzi were located. It formed an enchantment, enveloping the central valley.

The Sacred Palace had sixteen Shengzi, while the Cangxuan Sect had fewer. Even including Yao Yao, they numbered only eleven at most. Tun Tun was originally counted, but it was currently leading other disciples to clear out the guardian beasts in the Seven-Colored Treasure Land, so it couldn't participate.

In terms of numbers, the Cangxuan Sect was slightly disadvantaged.

Fortunately, their current objective was to protect the treasure land, not to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy.

Now that Yao Yao and Ye Ge had quickly set up the Genesis Rune barrier, the only way for the opponents to break through was to breach the barrier nodes where each Shengzi was positioned.

However, this barrier seemed to possess a linking ability. If the Sacred Palace attempted to concentrate its forces on attacking a single node, the others could send Genesis Qi reinforcements through the barrier.

In the sky, Jiang Taishen watched the scene and couldn't help but frown. What he truly wanted to see was the Cangxuan Sect launching an all-out assault against them, fighting to the death. However, the Cangxuan Sect had clearly adopted a defensive posture, intending to buy time until their forces had emptied the Seven-Colored Treasure Land.

At that point, they could naturally withdraw unscathed.

"That Zhou Xiaoyao is truly troublesome," Jiang Taishen muttered quietly to himself, his gaze fixed on Yao Yao's graceful figure in the distance. He could clearly see that this intricate barrier was primarily controlled by Yao Yao, with Ye Ge merely assisting.

During this time, the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect had exchanged blows, so they were well aware that this generation of Cangxuan Sect Shengzi included Yao Yao, whose Genesis Qi was weak but whose soul was exceptionally powerful.

From Jiang Taishen's perspective, the trouble Yao Yao caused them was likely no less significant than that caused by Chu Qing.

Jiang Taishen's eyes flickered, but he knew that even if the opponent had become an impenetrable "turtle shell" at this moment, they could not simply retreat.

"No matter how tough this turtle shell is, my Sacred Palace will shatter it today!" Jiang Taishen declared indifferently, his white hair whipping around. "Besiege all nodes, attack with full force!"

He knew that attacking a single point would be ineffective; they could only launch an all-out assault. Fortunately, the Sacred Palace Shengzi held a numerical advantage. As long as their Genesis Qi attacks maintained superiority, they might very well be able to directly blast open the opponent's barrier.

Once the barrier was broken, the opponent would naturally be unable to stop them, and their forces could directly invade the Seven-Colored Treasure Land.

The moment his voice fell, the other Sacred Palace Shengzi shot out, quickly dispersing in all directions. The next instant, powerful torrents of Genesis Qi roared forth, like meteors streaking across the sky, overwhelmingly bombarding the barrier's light screen.

Boom! Boom!

The ground immediately trembled, and ripples spread across the enormous light barrier.

However, Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, Kong Sheng, and the other Shengzi also took action. With their hands touching the light barrier, surging Genesis Qi poured unreservedly from their bodies, channeling entirely into the enchantment.

The barrier's light screen became even more radiant.

Thus, between heaven and earth, one side attacked furiously while the other held firm in defense, and the Genesis Qi of the world boiled.

In the distance, forces from various sects also watched the scene unfold.

"I thought they were going to engage in direct close combat..." a Shengzi from the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace remarked.

The woman named Gong Wan smiled faintly. "If it weren't for Yao Yao, the Cangxuan Sect would likely have no choice but to fight head-on. But now, it saves them a lot of trouble."

"If the Sacred Palace cannot break through that barrier, they won't be able to do anything to the Cangxuan Sect and can only watch helplessly as the Cangxuan Sect empties out the Seven-Colored Treasure Land."

"This Yao Yao truly is a treasure."

As Gong Wan spoke, her beautiful eyes gleamed as she stared at the stunning figure in the distance, then she complained to Zuoqiu Qingyu and Lv Luo: "Such a promising talent, why didn't you bring her into our Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace back then?"

In response to her complaint, Zuoqiu Qingyu and Lv Luo could only roll their eyes.

"No wonder the Cangxuan Sect wasn't afraid of the Sacred Palace trying to snatch it; they were prepared all along," another Shengzi remarked. "In that case, it seems the Cangxuan Sect has a greater chance of winning today."

If they couldn't break the barrier, the Sacred Palace's forces would be completely unable to interfere with the Cangxuan Sect.

Gong Wan's fair hand touched her smooth chin as she pondered slightly, then said, "Not necessarily..."

She raised her beautiful face, gazing intently at Jiang Taishen's figure in the distance, and slowly said, "Don't underestimate Jiang Taishen. Until the very end, it's hard to say who will win or lose."

The other Shengzi of the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace also nodded slightly. The name Jiang Taishen carried immense pressure for every Shengzi on Saint Continent.

Countless gazes from across the land were cast towards the place where Genesis Qi raged.

More gazes, however, clearly lingered on the figure with flowing white hair.

Jiang Taishen stood suspended in mid-air, his eyes filled with indifference as he watched the barrier. Despite the furious bombardment from the Sacred Palace Shengzi, it only rippled, yet remained perfectly stable.

His gaze pierced through the barrier, meeting Chu Qing's.

"Chu Qing, do you really think that with this turtle shell, I can't do anything to you?"

Chu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body gradually tensed.

Jiang Taishen smiled faintly. The two blood-red beads that bound strands of hair on either side of his face slowly detached, then violently transformed into beams of blood-red light and shot out.

Buzz! Buzz!

The blood-red beads spun wildly, colliding with the light barrier. Blood-red light spread out, gradually corroding a small hole in the barrier.

At the same time, the two blood-red beads immediately shot through the hole.

The blood-red light beads pierced through the barrier, falling directly at an extremely high speed. Their target was none other than Zhao Zhu, who was guarding the valley entrance!

"Zhao Zhu, watch out!" Chu Qing roared.

Zhao Zhu's expression drastically changed at that moment. Genesis Qi erupted from his body, and he swiftly retreated.

However, the two blood-red light beads were too fast. In a flash, they sealed off Zhao Zhu's escape routes from both front and back. Then, the light beads began to spin, gradually expanding.

Then, under countless shocked gazes, two figures slowly emerged from the light beads, one in front and one behind, sealing all of Zhao Zhu's escape routes.

Commotion echoed throughout the land.

They had discovered that the two figures were none other than two Shengzi from the Sacred Palace!

Jiang Taishen had actually forcefully penetrated the barrier, sending two of the Sacred Palace's Shengzi inside.

In the distance, both Lv Luo and Zuoqiu Qingyu's expressions grew solemn. They knew that with these two Shengzi inside the barrier, the situation would undoubtedly become extremely disadvantageous for the Cangxuan Sect.

In the sky, Jiang Taishen lightly twisted his neck. He looked at Chu Qing and smiled faintly: "This barrier of yours, while it saved you a lot of trouble, also tied your hands and feet..."

"Chu Qing, I'm sorry, but this time, my Sacred Palace still wins."
