Three days later, at the eastern border.
Dozens of flying ships arrived from the Taotie Holy Land to the Xuanmeng Eastern Frontier. This place was precisely the domain of the Azure Dragon Holy Land, and their objective was clearly to annihilate it.
Leading the fleet was a ninth-tier Celestial Elder expert from the Taotie Holy Land. This expedition was purely a probe!
"Old Ancestor, to personally deal with a mere Azure Dragon Holy Land!"
A subordinate of the Taotie Holy Land gazed towards the Azure Dragon Holy Land with disdain. Clearly, in his eyes, the Azure Dragon Holy Land was not even on the same level as them.
"Ancestor Lin Tian, let me test this Azure Dragon Holy Land!"
A sixth-tier Celestial Elder from the Taotie Holy Land volunteered, flashing towards the Azure Dragon Holy Land. Even though he was merely an ancestor of the Taotie Holy Land, a sixth-tier Celestial Elder was already an existence beyond the imagination of ordinary forces.
The sixth-tier Celestial Elder extended his right hand, and in the next moment, a palm over three thousand zhang appeared in the void, heading directly towards the Azure Dragon Holy Land.
"Not good!"
"Enemy attack!!"
The guards stationed at the Azure Dragon Holy Land in the Eastern Frontier reacted swiftly. "Azure Dragon Battle Formation, Activate!"
Just like that, an Azure Dragon phantom over eight thousand zhang materialized in the void, its aura comparable to a sixth-tier Celestial Elder, permeating the surroundings.
Boom!!
The two attacks collided head-on. The sixth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land remained unmoved, while the Azure Dragon phantom over eight thousand zhang on the opposite side fluctuated violently and was forced back several zhang.
"Heh heh, Azure Dragon phantom, eight thousand zhang of mere superficiality."
The sixth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land sneered, while Changsun Yan Yue's lips curved into a cold smile, as this entire scene was precisely his deliberate plan.
"So what if your strength has greatly increased!"
"Watch me shatter your Azure Dragon phantom!!"
The eyes of the sixth-tier Celestial Elder shone with sharp light. He was precisely a member of the Taotie Holy Land's war faction. "Taotie Secret Scripture, Palm Shatters Void!"
Rumble~
Under the terrifying palm strike, its might was incomparably stronger than before. Under such a sky-covering palm, the Azure Dragon phantom over eight thousand zhang was directly sent flying over a hundred zhang.
Pfft~
Changsun Yan Yue spurted blood, his face as pale as snow. 'Panic' flickered across his face. "Retreat!!"
Without hesitation!
Changsun Yan Yue controlled the Azure Dragon Battle Formation and retreated towards the depths of the Xuanmeng Eastern Frontier, vanishing over a thousand zhang in an instant.
"Hahaha~!"
"A mob like you, dare to be an opponent of my Taotie Holy Land."
Seeing this, the sixth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land became even more elated. "Ancestor Lin Tian, you two observe from the sidelines, and witness the destruction of the Azure Dragon Holy Land!!"
Hiss~
As the words fell, the sixth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land pursued the direction Changsun Yan Yue and his party had fled. His posture clearly indicated his intent to end it all in one decisive battle and completely annihilate the Azure Dragon Holy Land.
"Let's go."
"We'll go and have a look too~~"
Mo Lin Tian glanced into the distance, pondered for a moment, and said, "Later, regardless of whether the Azure Dragon Holy Land is annihilated or not, the battle must end!"
"Yes, Ancestor Lin Tian!!"
Everyone around bowed in response. They understood perfectly well that this was Xuanmeng territory. Although their Taotie Holy Land was not afraid, there were indeed Celestial Lord level existences within Xuanmeng. This was beyond doubt.
If a Celestial Lord expert were to arrive, things would become troublesome. Therefore, their objective this time was a lightning-fast campaign.
Fifteen minutes later.
Deep within Xuanmeng, thirty thousand li in, the Azure Dragon Holy Land's Ancestor, along with three million Holy Land disciples, halted their advance.
Because their objective had been achieved!
Indeed, the battle just now was deliberately staged, intending to lure the Taotie Holy Land forces to this location.
Swish~!
The sixth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land arrived on the scene. He glanced at Changsun Yan Yue and the others of the Azure Dragon Holy Land. "Where do you think you're running now!!"
At this moment, dozens of flying ships from the Taotie Holy Land surrounded the Azure Dragon phantom over eight thousand zhang, leaving them with no escape route.
"Die!!!"
Immediately, another Palm Shatters Void attack was unleashed. A sky-covering giant palm materialized and struck with immense force. However, Changsun Yan Yue's lips curved, and he controlled the Azure Dragon phantom over eight thousand zhang to meet the attack.
Boom~!!
A terrifying Azure Dragon claw descended from the void. In the next moment, it destructively broke through the Taotie Holy Land's attack, and then directly slammed into its user, instantly slaying the sixth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land.
He didn't even have time to react.
"Four Symbols Battle Formation, Activate!"
It was evident that the Azure Dragon Battle Formation had transformed into the Four Symbols Battle Formation at this moment.
"What!"
"This... Impossible!!"
The entire contingent of the Taotie Holy Land was dumbfounded. Clearly, the scene before them far exceeded their comprehension.
A sixth-tier Celestial Elder, instantly killed!
This...
Does this mean the opponent's strength is at least seventh-tier Celestial Elder? But why did the Azure Dragon Holy Land's battle formation suddenly become so powerful!?
Roar~~
Just then, several colossal beings also emerged from three directions. Without exception, they were all White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise phantoms, each over eight thousand zhang.
Terrifying pressure permeated all directions!
"White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, the three directions, this..."
"Not good, this is a trap!!"
At this moment, many ancestors of the Taotie Holy Land realized this fact. Mo Lin Tian's face turned ashen.
"Presumptuous!"
"To set a trap for my Taotie Holy Land, Azure Dragon Holy Land, you have guts!"
Mo Lin Tian immediately unleashed his ninth-tier Celestial Elder aura, his terrifying might instantly dispelling the surrounding pressure. "Form the battle formation!"
"I'll see how powerful you can be with all four directions gathered!!"
With a cold snort, Mo Lin Tian formed hand seals. In the next moment, above tens of millions of people on dozens of flying ships, a Taotie phantom, not inferior to eight thousand zhang, appeared, roaring ferociously, its might unparalleled.
"Four Directions Battle Formation, Transform!!"
At this moment, in the four directions of the Azure Dragon Battle Formation, a total of twelve million people!
Under such a grand formation, terrifying energy swept through the void. The four directional phantoms solidified at a visible speed, their might soaring, instantly reaching the level comparable to a ninth-tier Celestial Elder.
Four divine beast phantoms, comparable to ninth-tier Celestial Elders, surrounded the Taotie phantom wreathed in dark demonic flames. Although the Taotie phantom now possessed the aura of a peak ninth-tier Celestial Elder, the outcome of their final battle was unknown.
Boom~
Boom boom boom~~
Terrifying attacks instantly erupted in the void. The four divine beasts besieged the ferocious Taotie beast. Such a scene was witnessed by countless people further away.
Countless forces felt the battle aftermath washing over them and swallowed hard. Damn it, the mere shockwaves of the battle were difficult for them to withstand. One could imagine the intensity of the battle raging on.
Fifteen minutes!
Thirty minutes! Forty-five minutes!!
Finally...
At a certain moment, blood spurted out. Mo Lin Tian, the ninth-tier Celestial Elder of the Taotie Holy Land, coughed up blood. It was evident that even with his strength, he was beginning to falter against overwhelming odds.
"Everyone, lend me a hand!"
Changsun Yan Yue said to the other three parties. In the next moment, he unleashed his ultimate move. The White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Holy Lands nodded in unison, and then simultaneously activated their respective Four Symbols Battle Formations.
"Four Symbols Battle Formation, Merge!"
Rumble~
In the next instant, the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise phantoms vanished. The Azure Dragon phantom, however, seemed like a true dragon descending upon the world. Its aura was incredibly terrifying, surpassing the peak of ninth-tier Celestial Elder and soaring to the absolute limit of peak ninth-tier Celestial Elder.
"Azure Dragon Battle Formation, Dragon Breaks the Heavens!"
The Azure Dragon phantom over eight thousand zhang opened its mouth and unleashed a blazing dragon breath attack. This was undoubtedly the strongest blow in its current state. Mo Lin Tian of the Taotie Holy Land felt the attack carrying immense threat, and he was stunned on the spot. "This... an attack almost at the level of a Celestial Lord, impossible!!!"
