Shaka's words deeply offended the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, which sneered, "Hypocrisy is your doctrine, that's common knowledge."
"Heaven-Splitting, are you seeking death?" Shaka's gaze turned icy.
The Seven Killings Suppression Pagoda laughed, "Tsk tsk… enraged by shame?"
"This key isn't something you can simply destroy; make your move!"
Di Yang Ancestor believed this key was forged from the most premium materials. Even though the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was an Origin Treasure, it might not be able to destroy the key.
Since the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe refused to hand over the key, they had no choice but to seize it.
He was confident that the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe would not attack the key until the last moment.
As Di Yang Ancestor made his move, Lei Ze Ancestor and others also joined the fray.
More than ten Ancestors engaged in a fierce battle within the Great Sun Divine Realm.
On the Sun Divine Tree, Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird looked astonished in the direction of the commotion.
"They're fighting!"
"Shaka's aura, he's here too."
"Let's go see."
Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird transformed into human form and then flew towards the battlefield.
As they approached, a telepathic message from the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe entered their minds.
"Dragon Ancestor, Vermilion Bird, lend me a hand."
"If you help me, I can invite you to search for the Great Sun Divine Palace together."
"As for what the Great Sun Divine Palace is, I will explain later."
"Di Yang and the others are here for the key to the Great Sun Divine Palace, and this key is with me."
The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe did not wish to cooperate with its enemies, but cooperating with Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird was acceptable.
In the current situation, the seven of them were at a disadvantage.
If Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird joined them, they could turn their weakness into strength.
While the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was sending its message, Lei Ze Ancestor was also communicating with them.
"Dragon Ancestor, Vermilion Bird, this is our personal vendetta. We hope you do not get involved."
"As long as you stay out of it, I can give each of you an Origin Divine Medicine as a token of my gratitude."
Lei Ze Ancestor did not mention the Great Sun Divine Palace, as he did not want too many people to know about it.
"The Great Sun Divine Palace?"
Upon hearing the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe's message, Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird frowned.
As the first batch of powerful beings to cultivate into Ancestors, how could they not know of the Great Sun Divine Palace?
However, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was likely not lying.
Shaka, that fellow, would not act without significant benefits.
"What do you think?" Vermilion Bird asked Dragon Ancestor.
Dragon Ancestor pondered and said, "These people like Heaven-Splitting are more trustworthy than that old bald donkey."
Hearing Dragon Ancestor's words, Vermilion Bird immediately transformed into its true form and charged towards the battlefield.
Seeing Vermilion Bird charge forward, Dragon Ancestor followed suit.
"Dragon Ancestor, Vermilion Bird, what are you doing?"
Sensing Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird approaching, Di Yang Ancestor and the others knew something was amiss.
Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird both possessed Primordial Supreme Treasures. If they sided with Qin Hanchu's faction, Di Yang Ancestor and his group would lose their advantage.
"We're here to help a friend. You either leave, or we fight!" Dragon Ancestor's voice rumbled like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth.
Shaka sat cross-legged on a lotus throne and said coldly, "Why must you get entangled in this karma?"
Vermilion Bird snorted, "Hypocrite, if you can get involved in this karma, why can't we?"
"No need for further talk, let's just fight." Dragon Ancestor suddenly lunged towards Shaka.
RUMBLE...
Although Dragon Ancestor did not use any techniques, Shaka dared not collide with him directly.
Everyone knew that Dragon Ancestor possessed the strongest physique. A mere physical impact could injure even the most powerful Ancestors.
Dragon Ancestor moved his body, forcing Shaka to dodge repeatedly.
At the same time, Vermilion Bird also made its move.
With a flap of its wings, terrifying divine flames surged towards Di Yang Ancestor.
Seeing Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird arrive to help, Qin Hanchu breathed a sigh of relief.
Without their assistance, Qin Hanchu and the others would be in grave danger.
"Dragon Ancestor, Vermilion Bird, you shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs!" Lei Ze Shi gritted his teeth and roared.
Vermilion Bird replied, "For benefits, this is not meddling."
"No need to guess, I've already told them about the Great Sun Divine Palace."
"The key is in my possession, and I will cooperate with whomever I please."
Di Yang Ancestor and the others had anticipated that the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe would call upon Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird, but they hadn't expected the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe to reveal the matter of the Great Sun Divine Palace.
"We can join forces to kill Heaven-Splitting and the others."
"After obtaining the key, we will search for the location of the Great Sun Divine Palace together."
Tian Yang Jian's face was grim. If they couldn't persuade Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird to withdraw from the battle, they would never be able to seize the key.
Dragon Ancestor and Vermilion Bird had not yet revealed their Primordial Supreme Treasures. Once they did, Di Yang Ancestor and his group would be at a disadvantage.
"I will not cooperate with hypocrites." Vermilion Bird's gaze towards Shaka was filled with disgust.
The Buddhist sect preached compassion, yet they captured their kin to serve as mounts.
The Divine Beast clan harbored a long-standing grudge against the Buddhist sect.
Dragon Ancestor's agreement to help the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe was also partly due to this reason.
"Then do not blame us for our rudeness."
"Buddhist Salvation!"
Shaka sat cross-legged on the lotus throne and solemnly extended his palm.
As Shaka moved, a gigantic palm print, like the sky collapsing, descended upon Qin Hanchu and the others.
Qin Hanchu swung the Obliteration Divine Halberd and charged into the sky to confront the palm print.
A Xiang and Bai Li Cai Xia attacked together, the family joining forces to resist Shaka's strike.
At this moment, Dragon Ancestor charged towards Shaka.
BOOM!
Seeing Dragon Ancestor charge, Shaka quickly raised the lotus throne's defense.
BOOM!
Dragon Ancestor's head violently struck Shaka's shield. The shield merely vibrated a few times before returning to normal.
Shaka's lotus throne possessed incredibly powerful defenses, capable of withstanding even Dragon Ancestor's impact.
Just then, a golden spear flew out.
This golden spear was Dragon Ancestor's Primordial Supreme Treasure.
The spear transformed into a golden beam of light and surged towards Shaka's shield.
Although the lotus throne's defense was strong, Shaka dared not allow Dragon Ancestor to continue his assault.
Facing Dragon Ancestor and the spear's onslaught, he quickly dodged.
Concurrently, the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, Seven Killings Suppression Pagoda, Brahma Divine Seal, and others were also locked in fierce combat with their opponents.
In terms of numbers and strength, Qin Hanchu's faction had gained the upper hand.
Despite this, it was still too difficult to defeat their opponents.
Lei Ze Ancestor, Shaka, and Di Yang Ancestor were all top-tier Ancestors, while Qin Hanchu's side still had several beginner Ancestors.
If both sides were to fight to the death, Qin Hanchu and his two companions would become primary targets for elimination.
Seeing that they could not gain any advantage, Lei Ze Ancestor and the others chose to withdraw.
The Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe knew it couldn't defeat them, so it did not pursue.
"There's no need to confront them head-on. We'll wait until they find the Great Sun Divine Palace," Di Yang Ancestor said after flying far away.
Shaka nodded, "We still don't know the location of the Great Sun Divine Palace. Once they find it, we can reap the benefits."
