In the core depths of Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom, countless space-time fragments were opened long ago. Over thousands of years, they have all served as the battlefield for Cangtu Shen and Mu Taizu.
At this moment, Cangtu Shen, Mu Taizu, and Helian Shanhai are fighting fiercely in one of them –
That is the most central battlefield of this divine war.
The Shen-Zheng War has progressed to this point. Cangtu Shen and Mu Taizu have jointly occupied the divine position for several thousand years. When the two are united, they become the complete Cangtu Shen Lord, capable of embodying true transcendence-level combat power, even stronger than Cangtu Shen at his peak.
But they simultaneously restrain each other. For thousands of years, they have been holding each other's vital points, and a slight carelessness would result in being swallowed and destroyed. This leads to a situation where, while fighting fiercely with Helian Shanhai, they sometimes cooperate and sometimes confront each other.
Helian Shanhai absolutely cannot defeat one side alone, becoming a stepping stone for the other. What she wants to do is eliminate both venerables simultaneously.
Just like Cangming and Helian Zhaotu did in the battle, she also chops with a sword here, forcing the other side to chop back there, striving for the two venerables to suffer similar damage.
So this divine war of mutual consumption between two sides has turned into a three-sided consumption!
At the same time, all three sides face huge dangers that prevent them from fighting for long –
In past wars, Helian Qingtong had already been beaten by Cangtu Shen almost to the point of life exhaustion and old age. He completely relied on the support of successive generations of later emperors at any cost, endlessly filling that pair of eyes.
But even as powerful as he was, in the long struggle, he created the supreme secret law named "Shen Shuai," sending this force of "old decay," one of the eight sufferings of human life, into the divine position, eroding Cangtu Shen.
On the eternal divine seat, he caused Cangtu Shen's natal spirit to decay.
Thus, outwardly manifested in the struggle for the divine position in Cangtu Shen Temple, Helian Qingtong is also decrepit and aging, and Cangtu Shen is also old and divinely decayed.
At the same time.
On the grassland, kingly power has already suppressed divine power. Coupled with the defection of the Shen Guan Da Ji Si, Tu Hu, the support Cangtu Shen receives from the Cangtu Shen Jiao has been decreasing day by day.
When Helian Qingtong confronts the contemporary Da Mu Tian Di in arms, he is also destined to detach from Da Mu's national momentum, gradually losing his human foundation in Mu Guo.
These two supreme beings, who once ruled the entire grassland, are now both enduring hardship. Only by thoroughly swallowing the other can they truly occupy the supreme divine seat alone and win that sole eternity.
And under such circumstances, Helian Shanhai faces a very fatal problem.
She, with the honor of Da Mu Tian Di, maintains transcendence-level combat power, consuming enormous national momentum. Da Mu's accumulation over thousands of years, the gradual bequests of generations of emperors, can be said to be vast as the sea... but truly used in a transcendence war, it flows like a flood!
None of the three sides can consume for long, but for a time they can only consume against each other, only seeing who can endure first.
Under such a situation – only then did Helian Qingtong's bloodline summon, entrusting words to Helian Yuyun; only then did Tu Hu expose the human layout; only then did Helian Zhaotu ascend to heaven; only then did Cangtu Shen on one side borrow the authority of the Heavenly Kingdom, manifesting his divine form externally, while on the other side urgently summoning his most loyal divine servant, the Shen Guan Jiang Jing Da Ji Si, to ascend to heaven and protect the path.
The three sides in consumption, unanimously mobilized external forces. All wanting to borrow power to break the balance and seize the situation in their own hands.
But perhaps no one had imagined beforehand that the balance of this divine war would shatter in an instant in this way –
Cangtu Shen and Helian Qingtong's main forces are all poured into the transcendence battlefield. In Cangtu Shen Temple, the "divine body shell" borrowed from Cangtu Shen Temple and jointly used but mutually contended for dominance, is actually weak in power.
Because within the divine body shell, the struggle of the two venerables is fully embodied, this divine body itself is also considered another battlefield opened by Cangtu Shen and Helian Qingtong.
Cangtu Shen Temple... was originally the center of Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom, originally the place to place the divine seat, holding extraordinary significance.
The pressure Helian Shanhai brings to them is too great. They have the intention to temporarily jump out of the transcendence battlefield, decide victory and defeat in other places, determine the ownership of the divine position... the winner then turns back and, with the peak Cangtu Shen Lord power, confronts Helian Shanhai.
It was under Helian Zhaotu's step-by-step pressure, under the situation that Liang and Cangming successively defected, that the two venerables chose to slightly loosen their mutual suppression, dividing out a part of their power to meet the challenge in Cangtu Shen Temple.
In essence, this is also an unavoidable united countermeasure of the two venerables against Helian Shanhai.
Of course, dividing out this part of power will inevitably lead to being further suppressed by Helian Shanhai in the transcendence battlefield. But if this part of power is not divided out, Cangtu Shen Temple will be gone, and the young people in the temple are digging up their foundation!
Drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, the divine fire will have no way to continue.
The two venerables are cautious and stingy, mutually only opening one inch. Specifically manifested in Cangtu Shen Temple, both are just barely jumping out of absolute peak, initially reaching "saint" level power. Far from true transcendents, still quite a distance.
So when Helian Shanhai, with transcendence-level power, crossed space-time and arrived, the manifested Helian Qingtong here was punched and had his head exploded in one blow.
As Da Mu Tian Di, Helian Shanhai should not throw this punch. Her most important thing is to win the victory of the transcendence battlefield, not to divide out transcendence power and distract herself with other matters.
But as a mother, she had no other choice.
This punch came down, and the balance between Cangtu Shen and Mu Taizu was immediately broken.
"Finally..."
Even having lived for long years and experienced countless things, at this moment, a trace of joy still involuntarily flashed in Cangtu Shen's wolf eyes.
Helian Qingtong was truly too tenacious, too terrible an opponent. With his humble identity prostrating before the divine seat, he almost overturned him, this Shen Lord, and entangled him for several thousand years!
And now, he finally saw victory.
This was exactly the result he had been waiting for.
How could he not know that Helian Qingtong could summon blood to return to his ancestors, could strongly abduct the bloodline of his descendants? In the past times, it was precisely Mu Guo emperors one after another ascending to heaven to add fuel for him, making this life lamp burn until now.
He actually had ways to prevent Helian Zhaotu from entering Cangtu Shen Temple.
But he did not do so.
He was gambling – gambling that Helian Shanhai might give up something for her son. Gambling that Helian Qingtong would ultimately fall because of his discarded humanity!
Helian Qingtong, in the process of approaching eternity, gradually produced fear, afraid of losing, unwilling to sacrifice, and no longer believing in sacrifice.
He, in the successive generations of Mu Guo emperors advancing one after another, re-recognized the power of humanity, seeing "sacrifice."
Now, in Cangtu Shen Temple, Helian Qingtong's body, though not swallowed by him in one gulp, making his ascension not complete enough, the moment the other side disappeared in Cangtu Shen Temple, it was enough to decide the ownership of the divine position.
This long "Shen-Zheng," at this point, victory and defeat are divided!
The aging Cangtu Shen body did not immediately become strong and recover its eternity, but in the dark heavenly domain surrounding Cangming, blocks of earlier divine seat remnants that had been swallowed by him with darkness, again floated out from the darkness... like swallows returning to their nests, all returned to their original places, reassembling into the supreme divine seat.
And strands of dragon qi, bits of golden light, were directly forced out of the divine seat, like insects being driven away – these were the worms under Cangtu Shen's authority!
"Finally..."
Cangtu Shen strangely repeated, turning towards that divine seat to walk. "I... should return to my position!"
Taixu Ge is still smashing, Cangming has never stopped attacking, even using secret methods to burn himself, a whole set of "An Tian Da Shou Yin" were all used, but all were useless!
This hunched divine body was as if not even here. Taixu Ge passed through the body, but darkness could not adhere to the body.
Heaven and Earth Furnace still exists, Sun and Moon Casting Cauldron still remains.
Between the furnace and the great cauldron, is the fiery sea and knife mountain of heavenly dao power and human dao power intersecting.
Cangtu Shen slowly walks among it... ten thousand laws cannot invade.
Helian Shanhai's fist disperses like smoke, and the Helian Zhaotu she saved falls in the air.
She wants to quickly return to the transcendence battlefield, only leaving a hasty command –
"Cangming, take that Liang. Zhaotu, lead Jiang Wang back with national momentum. You all immediately descend the mountain! Leave this place to me. Wang Sun Su is waiting for you at the Zui Gao Wang Ting. The Da Ji Si knows what to do!"
Although ascending to heaven to help the ancestor "seize the god" is the ambition passed down generation after generation.
The sealed for a thousand years Heavenly Kingdom also repeatedly re-emphasizes the truth of history.
But Helian Shanhai, as Da Mu Tian Di, bearing the weight of the country, cannot disregard everything and fight her way into the Heavenly Kingdom.
Facing various situations, she has left contingency plans. The worst is nothing more than the current situation – Mu Taizu's failure to seize the god, and Cangtu Shen regaining the divine position.
She will temporarily seal Cangtu Shen with transcendence-level power.
Once Helian Zhaotu descends from Qiong Lu Shan, the Tu Hu left in Eer De to control the human situation will immediately activate the backup, ignite the myriad religions divine fire, launch the "Gu Jin Yu Guang Zhen," and exile Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom!
Myriad religions divine fire is the core achievement of the "wan jiao gui yi" policy.
And the core cosmic light of the "Gu Jin Yu Guang Zhen" was still obtained by Helian Shanhai through the "Wu You Tian Yi Deng Shen Fa" exchanged with Qi Huang Jiang Shu.
Cosmic light is hard to find, a rare treasure from ten thousand ages. The only person in the world who can capture it and has a certain stock is the Qi Huang who controls the Ziwei Xing. She guesses that Jiang Shu seeks the "Wu You Tian Yi Deng Shen Fa" to help Qi Guo's ancestral spirits achieve present world gods. This ascend god candidate can only be Qi Wu Di Jiang Wu Gui. But she doesn't know why Qi Guo ultimately did not take this step, choosing to take risks at Zhi Di instead.
However, the transcendence path is inherently difficult. How can outsiders guess, and they cannot feel the slightest of the parties' torment in their choices. Many opportunities that seem very hopeful, after going through thousands of hardships to reach the front, will be found to simply not exist.
Qi Guo's path is hard to walk, what about Mu Guo again?
Exiling Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom is undoubtedly the last resort, but in the moment of failing to seize the god, it is the best choice.
This is not only packing the entire Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom and throwing it into the depths of the universe, its fundamental meaning is utilizing the inseparable relationship between Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom and Cangtu Shen to exile Cangtu Shen from the present world, stripping away the name of "present world."
The exiled Cangtu Shen, no matter where in the universe he lands and takes root, at most will be just a nether god.
Simply put... this step is to knock Cangtu Shen down from transcendence!
With Cangtu Shen's honorable position, such a weakness should not exist.
But kingly power has thoroughly suppressed divine power, and Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom has been sealed for a thousand years. In this thousand years, the Helian clan has been separating Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom from Mu Guo... with Cangtu Shen unable to interfere, the weakness exists.
Of course, the premise of exiling Cangtu Heavenly Kingdom is that she, Helian Shanhai, can temporarily suppress Cangtu Shen.
And once the exile is completed, along with Cangtu Shen being stripped of the "present world" name, she will also instantly lose the support of Da Mu's national momentum. At that time, what the result will be for a Yan Dao cultivator in the hands of the furious Cangtu Shen is self-evident.
She has already made preparations for sacrifice.
Say a thousand ways and one way, who never thought that the world-conquering hero who walked from a shepherd boy to the emperor of a hegemonic country would actually fall to today's state, becoming such an ugly appearance.
Helian family's heroic blood, hereafter ashamed to mention!
In the space-time fragment where the transcendence war is ongoing, Mu Taizu's momentum visibly declines, and the divine dragon under his feet becomes stagnant.
Correspondingly, Cangtu Shen's momentum surges, and the majestic divine body becomes even more grand.
Helian Shanhai, dressed in imperial robes, no longer persists in pressing the two venerables with her sword, but with one sword moves the sun and moon, all the stars in the sky under one sword, all pour onto Cangtu Shen's body.
Cangtu Shen has gained the winning momentum. At this moment, he does not entangle, only silently retreats.
"Helian Shanhai!"
"You harm others and yourself!"
Mu Taizu has already failed to seize the god, inevitably weak and divinely decayed, but his anger is high!
Thousands of years of entanglement, thousands of years of planning, all become empty in one evening, destroyed in the hands of his own descendants. This is truly tragic.
"To abandon the country for one son is to bear the emperor's name in vain. To abandon ancestral ambition and kill ancestors is to disregard human ethics! How can you have the face to use 'Helian' as your surname!"
"Now this result, is it as you wish?"
His grand ambitions are hard to restore, with a desolate voice: "I have not seized the god, and your eternity is also empty!"
Pointing with his halberd and angrily scolding: "Da Mu's eternal enterprise is from this day destroyed in your hands!"
Helian Shanhai's sword chases Cangtu Shen, sealing heaven and locking earth with the sun and moon, only replying: "I blindly believed in ancestral ambition. Fortunately born in the Helian family, to have an ancestor like you – of course the grand hegemony has become empty!"
Saying this, she still has a few points of sarcasm, a few points of grief and indignation, but soon only soaring fighting spirit remains, still beautifully believing in the future: "But Zhaotu has grown up, Tu Hu knows the ultimate, Yuyun's talent is not inferior to yours, and his heart to love the people far surpasses. And with Shen Tian about to open, with the hegemonic country not attacking, Mu Guo still has the opportunity to regroup. At least by the time the Shen Tian war starts, my son Zhaotu should not lose to me today."
Mu Taizu still wants to scold more.
Helian Shanhai suddenly shouts: "Don't waste words! You, this tomb bone, the defeat is decided, completely lost! But the human world is indeed beautiful, no wonder you are attached to eternity – if you still want to live a moment longer, then follow me together to suppress Cangtu Shen!"
Mu Taizu is greatly angry: "I seek the eternal enterprise in life; when I die, my soul scatters and my spirit flies! Living a short while, what does it add to me?"
He says this, yet counter-hands a sword stabbing toward Cangtu Shen.
Living one more breath is one breath.
In these years of contending life with Cangtu Shen, countless times on the verge of collapse, he always tells himself this way, and always struggles to survive, then waits for the later emperors to conquer the Heavenly Kingdom.
Now the struggle for the divine position has seen victory and defeat. It is impossible for him to ascend anymore, but with his remaining courage, he can slightly delay Cangtu Shen's steps.
"Qingtong child!" Cangtu Shen is about to ascend the divine seat and does not want to get entangled, but Helian Shanhai's sword commanding the kingly power of the six directions indeed makes his steps difficult, so he loudly says: "Today's matter is defeated and will ultimately dissipate like smoke. Why bother to be buried with your unfilial descendants? Better return before the god, enjoy the honorable divine position, still not losing Heavenly Kingdom's eternity!"
Mu Taizu laughs heartily: "Born as cheap as ants, yet my eyes only see the sky. Born under others, I am unwilling to be under others my entire life!"
Although his breath continuously declines, like an old dragon roaring the sea, he still shows the power to overturn heaven, stands with eyes wide, and wields his sword: "You already know me, dare you let me come again?!"
For Helian Qingtong, who failed to seize the god, still being able to retain an honorable divine position and live in the Heavenly Kingdom is, of course, a very good result.
But he and Cangtu Shen both understand that this is just a pie that cannot be realized.
When he was forced to ascend to heaven and become a singing boy, did Cangtu Shen not guard against him? In the end, he was still eroded by him step by step, to the point of having the divine-seizing disaster.
Cangtu Shen cannot possibly give him another opportunity!
"Though today there is no road ahead, you must know who drove you to a dead end!" Clearly this old opponent cannot be deceived. Cangtu Shen no longer says false things, only saying: "Now following the thief, how can you vent your hatred?!"
"Where is there love or hate!" Helian Qingtong also understands Cangtu Shen, so every sword strike is at his most difficult place. Under Helian Shanhai's main attack, he cooperates seamlessly, and with a long sigh: "She just does what she should do. I just after exhausting all my efforts... lost this game!"
Cangtu Shen truly has a bit of teeth itching, hatefully saying: "Now losing so straightforwardly, why didn't you admit fate earlier!"
If the shepherd boy had had this awareness earlier, why would there have been thousands of years of unending beacon fires?
What hardship had he endured for so many years, early should the Heavenly Kingdom be forever solid!
"Qingtong child, when I ascend the divine seat, I will first call your true spirit to eternally perish!"
He does not say words like letting Helian Qingtong suffer forever.
Because for a person like Helian Qingtong, living is a reward, living has opportunity.
But he still tries to stir Helian Qingtong's emotions, to break the tacit cooperation of these ancient and modern two emperors – returning to the divine seat is already unstoppable, but the steps are too slow, and he still feels uneasy.
"After you die, the Helian family should be extinct –" He is trying to poke Helian Qingtong's unknown soft spot, suddenly startled, and angrily stares at Helian Shanhai: "Wretched woman! What do you want to do?!"
He has already detected Helian Shanhai trying to seal him. Although he temporarily doesn't know what the next move will be, he has smelled the danger.
Helian Shanhai, who has been silently attacking for a long time, will she talk nonsense with him? She lifts her sword and wants to reclaim all the foreshadowing.
Not right –
The people in Cangtu Shen Temple... why haven't they left?!
Divine thought suddenly turns, finally giving a side glance.
She discovers –
Cangming indeed obediently rolled up that Liang, and with a Da An Tian Da Shou Yin, sent that Liang out of the temple, letting him fall from the Heavenly Kingdom. But disobediently, he did not leave. Instead, he horizontally blocked in front of the manifested Cangtu Shen divine power returning to the divine seat.
Boundless darkness gathers on his body. The silent Taixu Cangming emits a thick aura of destruction all over. Outside his body, a divine statue representing destruction and ruin condenses!
Helian Zhaotu also obediently releases national momentum, leading Jiang Wang back in the sea of time. But he disobediently did not leave himself. Instead, he holds his sword and chops at that divine seat again.
The most shocking is that Zhenhe Zhenjun.
The leading of Da Mu's national momentum, like a long rope chasing him, he completely ignores it, and in the sea of time, he turns and strolls.
His gaze precisely finds the landing point in countless space-time fragments, targeting...
Directly points to this side's transcendence battlefield!!!
