Chapter 2193: Don't Be Too Optimistic

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The rumbling sounds grew louder, shaking the entire myriad domains of Zhutian.

Gazing at the scene in Lingyu, Ming Di and Di Huang exchanged a glance, as if they found the answer they sought in each other's eyes, without needing to look further.

It wasn't Ye Chen fighting; it was Ye Chen's first life fighting.

Unfortunately, even with the vision of these two supreme Zun, they couldn't see through the Mo Zhu. If they were in Lingyu, they could see clearly, but in Mingjie, there are Mingming rules that restrict them, so they couldn't witness that epic conquest in person, which was a regret for both.

“I have absolute confidence in that person.”

“It seems I don't need to return to Zhutian.”

“Don't be too optimistic. Daring to cross the Lunhui, even a supreme Di, can't escape the vastness of heaven and earth; that kind of backlash will be destructive.”

“Are you saying he will die?”

“He's already dead.”

With these few simple lines of dialogue, the two supreme Zun fell silent, both staring intently at Lingyu.

Carefully observing that dim heaven and earth, they actually saw a streak of seven-colored Xian light streaking across the sky. It was an Xian Jian, a seven-colored one, flying into the Qingtian Mo Zhu.

No mistake, the Zhu Xian Jian had arrived, causing both supreme Zun to furrow their brows.

Especially Ming Di, who knew more secrets. Zhu Xian Jian was an anomaly, a powerful one at that. At its peak, it could instantly kill a great Di. Its appearance now surely meant trouble; it was definitely here to help Mo Tian Di fight Ye Chen.

And just as he thought, once Zhu Xian Jian flew into the Mo Zhu, it headed straight for Mo Tian Di.

Seeing it was Zhu Xian Jian, Mo Tian Di's remnant soul was overjoyed.

On the opposite side, Ye Chen stepped on the void, walking forward step by step, ignoring Mo Tian Di's remnant soul and focusing only on Zhu Xian Jian. In his hazy eyes, flashes of Di Dao's cold light appeared. In the emperor's memories, there was indeed Zhu Xian Jian. At its peak, even a great Di couldn't match it.

But Zhu Xian Jian wasn't invincible; there were beings that could rival it. Now, its level was less than one ten-thousandth of its peak, in an extremely weakened state.

Suddenly, Ye Chen raised his hand and reached out to one side.

Then, a beam of Xian light came from the Youming mainland of Zhutian, streaking across the vast starry sky and through the mortal world's vicissitudes.

“Is that the Xianwu Di Jian?”

“It must be the Di Zun's life weapon.”

“The Di Jian's movement means something big is happening.”

Under the watchful eyes of all, Xianwu Di Jian ignored the domain barriers, breaking through the void and the Zhai Xian Tian Di array, entering Lingyu straight for the Qingtian Mo Zhu. After countless eons, it was summoned by its master again, and this world-shaking Xian Jian burst forth with its most brilliant Xian light.

“In Lingyu, let's combine forces to blast it open.”

Without needing his words, the ultimate Dao Di Qi of Zhutian all rushed into the nine heavens at the same moment, collectively reviving their Di Dao divine power and gathering a dazzling Xian light, which tore open the Zhai Xian Tian Di array and, along with it, blasted open the passage from Lingyu to Zhutian.

“War!”

Shen Jiang Tian Jiu's words rang out firmly as he gripped the Kai Tian Fu, being the first to charge into Lingyu.

“War!”

The quasi-di of Zhutian followed closely, one after another.

“War!”

The cultivators of Zhutian were not far behind, gathering from all corners of the starry sky and finally finding the source, rushing en masse to the Lingyu battlefield. They had all sensed the aura of Tian Mo.

“Only seal, do not kill!”

Seeing the reinforcements arrive, the one still battling the Zaohua Shen Wang, the son of the realm, shouted suddenly. This wasn't the real Tian Mo; they couldn't kill them recklessly.

In a brief moment, he glanced at the Qingtian Mo Zhu.

Earlier, he hadn't been wrong; it was indeed Xianwu Di Jian that had flown in, likely summoned by something, even breaking through the Zhai Xian Tian Di array, shocking him to his core.

And Zhu Xian Jian, who knew where it had come from, had entered Lingyu and dived straight into the Mo Zhu, leaving him quite curious about the divine being inside that Qingtian Mo Zhu. Unfortunately, he only saw the Mo Zhu humming without any aura leaking out.

“Kill!”

Zaohua Shen Wang attacked, his palm destroying heaven and earth.

In that instant of distraction, Xi Chen took a hit, his divine body nearly exploding.

Fortunately, Tian Jiu, Donghuang Tai Xin, Yue Huang, and the Evil Demon joined forces to repel Zaohua Shen Wang. It was another group assault lineup: four peak quasi-di, each wielding a Di Qi, all fiercely aggressive.

“Only seal, do not kill!”

On the other side, the quasi-di of Zhutian had already attacked the Hua Tian Mo people. Each of them had keen insight and could see that these were not true Tian Mo. Some old-timers even found a few old friends among them, thinking they had long died, only to discover they had all become Hua Tian Mo.

The forces of Zhutian were formidable, suppressing the Hua Tian Mo people for a time. Massive sealing arrays were deployed, sealing them in groups.

“Run, where are you running?”

“Hey? Tian Zhi.”

“Run, where are you running?”

In the sky, Xiao Yuan Huang, Kui Niu Huang, Nan Di, and many talents from Da Chu had surrounded the Can E Mo Jun. They all recognized this as a real Tian Mo, so what was there to say? They attacked with all their might.

Can E Mo Jun was in trouble; already no match for Tian Zhi, and now with this group of beasts joining in, he didn't dare fight anymore. Dragging his blood-drenched body, he fled toward the Qingtian Mo Zhu.

But his hopes were dashed by reality.

He wanted to escape, but the ruthless people of Zhutian wouldn't allow it. He barely made it a hundred zhang before Chen Yi's sword struck him back. Before he could land, Mu Yang followed with another sword.

After that, it was all over for him. The sky was full of figures, magical tools, and secret techniques, obliterating his Mo body and severing his Yuan Shen.

“Ah!”

Can E Mo Jun howled in agony, carrying resentment and frustration. He had come all the way from Tian Mo domain, and the Can Mie Mo Jun who accompanied him had already been destroyed. Now, he too was doomed to die. As a great Mo Jun under a Di, his death was truly humiliating.

Before stepping onto the Huangquan road, he glanced back at the Qingtian Mo Zhu.

This didn't make sense! A Tian Di-level remnant soul couldn't even take down a Da Sheng? How had such a great situation turned into this mess?

“Only seal, do not kill!”

After destroying Can E Mo Jun, the crowd from Zhutian shouted and charged at the Hua Tian Mo people. They said only seal, not kill, but their attacks were brutally harsh. Not killing them didn't mean they couldn't beat them up. It was a rare trip to Lingyu, so they needed to vent some steam.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Amid the rumbling, Lingyu became even more chaotic. Mountains collapsed one after another. Although the Hua Tian Mo people were at a disadvantage, they showed no fear, charging forward relentlessly, wave after wave, with only slaughter in mind. As soon as one group was sealed, another rushed in.

However, facing such absolute suppression of power, they couldn't escape being sealed.

This included Zaohua Shen Wang, who didn't flee this time and fought fiercely, taking on a large group alone. But as he fought, he quieted down. With over twenty Di Qi sealing the entire heaven and earth, he was completely immobilized by the peak quasi-di.

Given his strength, the old-timers were very cautious, layering seal after seal on him.

Not to boast, but Zaohua Shen Wang had thousands of seals added to his body.

Even then, they weren't reassured; nine Di Qi hovered in the sky, pinning him down completely.

Only after he was sealed did the great battle in Lingyu temporarily come to an end.

As for the Hua Tian Mo people, they were all dazed and sealed into magical tools.

Looking at them, many people wore bewildered expressions. Where had so many Hua Tian Mo people come from, leading to this self-destruction?

Even more people glanced upward, where the void rumbled continuously.

“It's the female Sheng Ti and Sheng Zun.”

Xi Chen transmitted his voice, but only to a few.

Hearing this, the quasi-di were mostly stunned. Female Sheng Ti?

The elders of Yao Chi understood, but they didn't reveal the secrets to more people. Donghuang Tai Xin and the others knew as well, but they were puzzled—why was the female Sheng Ti fighting Sheng Zun?

“They're enemies.”

Xi Chen sighed.

He didn't want to say it, as it involved the glory of the Sheng Ti lineage.

Who would have thought that a female Sheng Ti, infinitely close to great accomplishment, was on the Tian Mo side?

If not for her meddling, Lingyu wouldn't have been so devastated.

Even now, he didn't know why the female Sheng Ti was helping Tian Mo. She was a genuine person of Zhutian, with no Tian Mo bloodline, so why aid them and tarnish the Sheng Ti's reputation?

He was puzzled, and the quasi-di were even more so, each with a head full of question marks. The existence of a female Sheng Ti was shocking enough, but for her to be on the Tian Mo side was worldview-shattering.

Forcibly suppressing their doubts, the quasi-di withdrew their gazes. They had no intention of joining the fight. Someone who had nearly become a Di, like Sheng Zun, was tough and wouldn't die so easily.

Besides, that was an Di Dao space; no one could find the entrance.

Compared to Sheng Zun, the cultivators of Zhutian were more focused on the Qingtian Mo Zhu. Like a tide, they surrounded it from all directions.

They were all sharp-eyed and knew it was a damaged Qingtian Mo Zhu.

Otherwise, why were there only Hua Tian Mo people and no real Tian Mo army?

Boom! Bang!

As the cultivators of Zhutian closed in, the Mo Zhu continued to hum, with frequent rumbling sounds. It was clear there was a battle inside, and a fierce one at that. The earlier shaking of the myriad domains was likely due to this Mo Zhu.

The closer they got to the Mo Zhu, the more their hearts trembled. They were certain the existence inside was absolutely terrifying.

“What are you looking at? Destroy it.”

“Not a chance.” The son of the realm coughed up fresh blood. “Ye Chen is inside.”

At the mention of Ye Chen, Chu Xuan and Chu Ling's hearts tightened, and they stepped into the void, rushing straight for the Qingtian Mo Zhu to join the fight.

Not just them, the quasi-di present also advanced, each gripping a Di Qi.

However, as soon as they entered within ten thousand zhang of the Mo Zhu, it hummed again. A layer of pitch-black halo spread out, and everyone who approached—whether Chu Xuan, Chu Ling, or the old quasi-di—was shaken back without exception.

Buzz! Buzz!

The Mo Zhu hummed even more intensely, layer after layer of halos spreading. Wherever they passed, space shattered inch by inch, and the few remaining mountains around were leveled.

The silent halos were too powerful; those with weaker cultivation had their bodies explode on the spot.

“Retreat!”

An old ancestor roared, ordering those with insufficient cultivation to withdraw. A few more halos like that would cause even greater losses. The forces with Di Qi also activated their emperor weapons to protect the surroundings. All eyes were fixed on the Mo Zhu, their expressions full of worry. They couldn't destroy it, and they couldn't enter it.
