Soon, divine halls made of gold and iron materialized.
In the sky, numerous divine maidens of the White Tiger God Clan, dressed in practical attire, descended from the heavens along rays of golden light, swiftly landing above the golden-iron divine city in the Western Land.
In the Primordial Realm, numerous warships floated, and many heavenly soldiers and generals looked towards the Western Land, all sneering.
Dan Fenglai restrained the Golden Crow Army, gazing towards the Western Land. He sneered, "Does White Emperor White Tiger also want to get involved while the Primordial Realm is without a master? She thinks too highly of herself!"
At this very moment, the sky over the Western Land grew even brighter as a projection of an Empress, fully armored and wearing a golden helmet, descended, taking residence in the golden-iron divine city.
As this Empress's projection descended, the entire Western Land resonated with the clang of metal. Countless divine weapons belonging to divine beings automatically vibrated and chimed incessantly, seemingly wanting to fly out of their owners' hands to prostrate themselves before the Empress's projection.
The divine beings in the Primordial Realm hastily suppressed their respective divine weapons. Dan Fenglai immediately flew up, preparing to inform Ancestral God King, while Yin Tianzi also had a thought, planning to send someone to Tai Xu to inform Haotian Zun. Suddenly, in the icy, desolate land of Shuofang in the Northern Land, dark clouds covered the sky, accompanied by five claps of thunder. Within the five massive thunderclouds, countless bolts of lightning flashed.
Each thundercloud spanned tens of thousands of miles, swirling with a roar, and the lightning was incredibly dense.
Lightning struck downwards from the thunderclouds, electric light illuminating the darkness. Then, surging Heavenly River water poured down from the clouds, and numerous divine beings of the Black Tortoise clans descended from the sky amidst the great waters and thunder.
These Black Tortoise clan members excelled at construction. Grand halls and divine palaces rose from the ground, transforming Shuofang into a land of ice and snow palaces, surrounded by heavenly waters, a truly magnificent sight.
Furthermore, projections of the two Black Tortoise Emperors descended from the sky, one a tortoise and one a snake, suppressing the land of Shuofang.
Yin Tianzi frowned deeply and whispered, "Projections of the two Black Tortoise Emperors descending upon the Primordial Realm? How strange. These two old fellows are sly and cunning, and pathetically timid. It's understandable they'd hide in the North Pole Heaven, but why are they so bold now? They even dare to wade into the murky waters of the Primordial Realm?"
Yin Tianzi's insight was far superior to Dan Fenglai's. Dan Fenglai couldn't discern the underlying intricacies, but Yin Tianzi immediately recognized the crucial point.
"It's not that the two Black Tortoise Emperors have become bolder," he thought, "but rather, someone is backing them! Could it be Heaven Duke and Earth Count are supporting the Four Emperors, giving them unrealistic fantasies?"
As Yin Tianzi pondered this, suddenly, purple mist filled the sky in the East, with divine dragons flying and weaving through it. A massive Spirit Treasure Mountain descended from the sky, plunging into the East Sea, forming an island over a thousand miles in circumference.
Following this, the projection of East Emperor Azure Dragon descended from the sky, coiled on Spirit Treasure Mountain, and fell into a deep sleep.
Yin Tianzi's expression subtly changed as he looked towards the South. Only then did he remember that South Emperor Vermillion Bird was already dead and therefore could not descend.
"Three Emperors have appeared," he mused inwardly, "but they are still utterly outmatched..."
Suddenly, the sky churned with wind and clouds, and the stars scattered. Yin Tianzi looked up, his expression one of horror. He saw endless white light pouring forth from behind the celestial map covering the Primordial Realm. The light spread like white whiskers, growing lower, larger, and brighter!
Gradually, the light transformed into the face of Heaven Duke, appearing in the sky!
More light surged forth, forming white clouds spanning tens of thousands of miles. Palaces appeared on the clouds, and Heaven Duke, with his white eyebrows, white beard, white hair, and white eyes, descended from the celestial map, landing in the heavenly palace above the sea of clouds and taking up residence.
Yin Tianzi was dumbfounded, his heart filled with dread. "Even Heaven Duke can't sit still now," he thought. "These old fogeys are practically inviting death! That being said, if this Primordial Realm becomes a frontline, those of us in the Primordial Realm will surely suffer first! Fleeing when the situation looks bad—that's the way to save one's life..."
He waved his hand, opening the Heavenly Gate of Netherworld Capital. Just as he was about to flee, suddenly, endless Youdu demonic energy surged from the ground below, staining the center of the Primordial Realm, where the Primordial Tree originally stood, pitch black!
Yin Tianzi opened the Heavenly Gate of Netherworld Capital, but what he saw was not the Northern Heaven Netherworld Capital, but Youdu!
He stood before the Heavenly Gate of Netherworld Capital and saw Earth Count. The incredibly majestic, great man stood in Youdu, his divine body vast, currently separating a portion of his body and primordial spirit to descend upon the Primordial Realm!
Yin Tianzi looked down. The area had already transformed into another small Youdu. Earth Count's clone was slowly rising, spinning, from the dark demonic energy. Two ox horns pierced through the pitch-black demonic energy, like two winding Yellow Springs, shooting straight into the sky, passing right by his Heavenly Gate of Netherworld Capital and standing incredibly tall.
Yin Tianzi saw magma flowing like a river within those two incredibly thick horns, cascading down around them. The fear in his eyes turned into envy, but he quickly sobered up.
"Old Earth Count is here too," he muttered, "This is suicide... for us first!"
Yin Tianzi immediately closed the Heavenly Gate of Netherworld Capital and swiftly flew towards the nearest Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge. Now that Earth Count had blocked his path back to Netherworld Capital, the best route was to return to the Celestial Heavens via the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge.
As he flew, he passed through the shadow left by Heaven Duke and suddenly saw the Sea of Heavenly Yin. A woman, wreathed in divine light, was slowly rising from the sea.
"Heavenly Yin Empress!"
Yin Tianzi shuddered and hastily changed direction. Heavenly Yin Empress harbored deep hatred for him. Now that her divine abilities were perfected, and she was an ancient god who had broken free from the shackles of the Great Dao, her strength was astonishing. Yin Tianzi absolutely did not want to meet her!
"Heavenly Yin Empress has also come out," he thought, "There must be a mastermind secretly manipulating the situation!"
Yin Tianzi flew at high speed. At this point, he saw the ruins of the Ten-Thousand-Mile Peach Forest. Within the ruins, a graceful woman, holding a peach blossom between two fingers, bent down and planted it into the soil.
Beside the woman was a young man, tall and with an extraordinary demeanor. He bent down and blew a breath onto the peach blossom.
Immediately, countless peach tree sprouts wildly emerged from the soil. The sprouts spread like a plague, quickly covering the ten-thousand-mile ruins.
The young man activated his Creation divine ability. The peach forest grew wildly; one peach tree after another quickly matured, blossomed, and bore fruit!
The woman then tossed up an ancient zither. When the zither landed, it transformed into a cluster of palaces.
The young man and the woman exchanged a smile and walked inside.
"Heavenly Venerate Mu and Heavenly Venerate Yue!"
Yin Tianzi gasped. "It's one thing for Heavenly Venerate Yue to have escaped," he thought, "but how dare she run back? And that fellow Heavenly Venerate Mu, when did he get involved with Heavenly Venerate Yue?"
As he thought this, he saw the tall young man walk out of the palace again, holding a divine bow. He looked around, and suddenly his gaze fell upon Yin Tianzi high in the sky, immediately drawing the bow.
Yin Tianzi hastily fled. The tall young man couldn't find his traces and had no choice but to put away his divine bow.
The woman walked out of the palace and asked, "Heavenly Venerate Mu, why did you draw your bow?"
"I think I saw Yin Chaoxin."
The young man was indeed Qin Mu. He showed a look of regret and said, "It's a pity my eyesight hasn't fully recovered to its peak yet. I only barely caught a glimpse of him before he escaped. He runs so fast!"
"If Yin Tianzi didn't run fast, he would have been killed long ago," Heavenly Venerate Yue chuckled.
Qin Mu nodded in agreement and asked, "Has Heavenly Venerate You's clone not descended yet?"
Heavenly Venerate Yue said, "Don't rush him; he's quite shy. He'll secretly descend after a while."
The two returned to the palace. Qin Mu said, "I wonder if Founding Emperor and Divine King Lang Wo will also have their clones descend. Only they are left now..."
As they were speaking, suddenly, a sword light pierced through the void. That sword light was the Carefree Sword. With a series of swooshes, it continuously unleashed thirty-four sword forms not far from the peach forest!
