Chapter 26 Star Battle Origin
"Today, I, your humble servant, will teach you the principles of hierarchy on behalf of your teacher!"
Yuanshi Tianzun reached out and a jade ruyi appeared in his palm. His expression was solemn, his eyes were like lightning, and with a wave of his hand, the ruyi, carrying the power of a sage, smashed straight towards Haotian.
Haotian was not surprised at all.
Yuanshi Tianzun has always been arrogant and values status and rules above all else. It would be strange if he didn't take action after Haotian publicly contradicted him.
Moreover, the Chaos Bell, being one of the three great treasures of creation, held an unparalleled allure for him—if he could obtain this bell and comprehend its true meaning, not only would his cultivation advance greatly, but his strength would also be significantly enhanced.
At that time, the Pangu Banner will be the best in offense, and the Chaos Bell will be the best in both offense and defense. With these two treasures in hand, who below the Dao Ancestor can rival him? Becoming the number one among all saints and the number one person in the primordial world will be within his grasp.
With such immense benefits at hand, how could Yuanshi not be tempted?
The Ruyi scepter crashed down, carrying the might of a sage, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
That Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was a personal treasure of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, formed from the three parts of the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus. With a single strike, the void collapsed and the stars dimmed. A sage's attack is no small matter—this strike was enough to shatter a great world.
Haotian's expression remained unchanged, and in the blink of an eye, the Zhou Tian Star Array was already in full operation.
boom--
Three hundred and sixty-five ancient stars trembled in unison, and streaks of star energy as thick as pillars of heaven surged forth from the depths of the star core, weaving together into a vast, all-encompassing net in the starry sky.
Above that giant net, Daoist principles flowed, and the laws of stars intertwined and entwined, evolving into countless illusory star images, vast and magnificent, as if the entire starry sky had been moved into the formation.
The jade ruyi crashed down, clashing head-on with the Star Array.
A silent tremor spread in all directions—not because there was no sound, but because the sound was so immense that it was beyond the reach of ordinary spiritual sense. Wherever it passed, swathes of void collapsed, chaotic energy poured in, and was forcibly repelled by the power of the great formation.
The ancient stars trembled violently, and several small stars on the edge could not withstand the aftershocks and exploded into countless fragments.
But the fragment hadn't flown very far before it was re-formed by the power of the array and returned to its position.
Haotian stood at the center of the formation, his imperial robes fluttering in the wind, the tassels and beaded curtains of his crown jingling crisply. He pressed his hands down, using the authority of the Heavenly Emperor to control the Star Array, dissolving the power of the jade ruyi layer by layer.
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly.
Although he didn't use his full strength in this attack, it was still far beyond what an ordinary Quasi-Saint could withstand. Haotian, a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, even with combat power far exceeding his realm, was able to withstand his attack without being at a disadvantage, which was truly unexpected.
It seems the Heavenly Emperor's authority is indeed extraordinary. The Zhou Tian Star Array set up by Haotian is several times stronger than the one set up by the ancient demon race.
It should be understood that the ancient demon race gathered the power of the entire race, hundreds of millions of cultivators, hundreds of quasi-saints, and more than a dozen great powers, and the Heluo Grand Array composed of the Chaos Bell and the Hetu Luoshu, to make its power comparable to that of a saint.
And what about Haotian? He only needed to use the power of his authority to set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array to neutralize the attack of the sage, which demonstrates the power of the Heavenly Emperor's authority.
"You've got some skill," Yuanshi Tianzun sneered. "Then let's see how many moves you can withstand."
He raised his hand to recall the jade ruyi, then unleashed it again. This time, the ruyi's trajectory was even more profound, entwined with the power of the Heavenly Dao, resonating with the heavens and earth. One transformed into two, two into three, three into countless others, and countless illusory ruyi images poured down like a torrential rain.
Haotian's eyes narrowed, and he activated his authority with all his might.
The power of the thirty-three heavens descended with a thunderous roar, empowering the Zhou Tian Star Array.
The essence of the 365 ancient stars was further stimulated, and the star phantoms solidified into physical forms, transforming into miniature stars that crashed down upon the Ruyi phantom.
The two illusory figures collided, unleashing a continuous roar. Each of Ruyi's attacks was enough to destroy a world, yet it could never penetrate the layers upon layers of starlight bullets.
"Brother Yuanshi has quite a temper."
Haotian spoke, his voice echoing through the starry sky, unhurried and deliberate: "I merely spoke a few words of truth, and Senior Brother insists on personally disciplining me as a Sage? Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock among the people of the primordial world?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable's face darkened: "Sharp-tongued. Once I capture you, let's see if you can still be so arrogant."
He abandoned the Ruyi and reached out to grab it.
A large banner suddenly appeared in his hand—the Pangu Banner!
Above the banner, the divine aura of Pangu, the god of creation, surged forth, seemingly intent on destroying chaos and recreating heaven and earth. The banner's surface displayed an image of the great god Pangu wielding the axe that created the heavens and earth, a supreme symbol of creation. Profound prophecies swirled around the banner's exterior; within, talismans representing the creation of heaven were subtly revealed. This was none other than the Pangu Banner, one of the three treasures of creation, a supreme innate treasure for offense and conquest!
Driven by the Primordial Holy Power, countless Heaven-Opening Blades were unleashed.
The blade of energy carried an aura of annihilation; wherever it passed, space and time were obliterated. All things returned to nothingness, chaos was reborn, as if returning to the time before the creation of heaven and earth.
Haotian looked solemn and took a deep breath.
He knew that the regular operation of the Zhou Tian Star Array alone could not withstand this attack.
"Since Senior Brother Yuanshi insists on this, then I will not stand on ceremony."
Haotian raised his hand and pointed to the sun star.
"Borrowing a star for my use."
The sun star suddenly trembled, and the entire star was forcibly pulled by him, transforming into a golden pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, meeting the Heaven-Opening Blade.
At the same time, the Taiyin Star, Ziwei Star, Gouchen Star... all the stars in the heavens were mobilized and, under the guidance of the Zhou Tian Star Array, condensed into an unprecedented torrent of stars.
The torrent, carrying the full power of 365 ancient stars and imbued with the dual Dao of destruction and creation, collided violently with the Qi-opening blade.
Rumbling--
It was as if the world had been created anew.
Two world-destroying forces clashed head-on in the starry sky. The aftershocks instantly shattered dozens of peripheral stars, reducing them to dust. Chaotic energy surged in like a tide, only to be torn apart by the combined forces of the two sides.
The entire ancient starry sky trembled, as if it could not withstand the aftershocks of this battle.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
"How dare you!"
"How dare you!"
Two loud shouts rang out, and then the Zhou Tian Star Array changed direction and smashed down one after another.
One after another, streams of divine fortune emerged from the Pangu Banner and attacked in another direction.
Just as Haotian and Yuanshi were fighting, Zhunti suddenly appeared beside Lu Ya, and the Seven Treasures Tree swept towards Lu Ya.
They planned to seize this opportunity to eliminate Lu Ya and the Chaos Bell, thus becoming the beneficiary of the situation.
However, this was during the Great Battle of the Zhou Tian Stars, and his movements were directly sensed by Haotian, as were those of Yuanshi.
The two immediately shifted their target and attacked the shameless man.
Fueled by hatred, the two showed no mercy, fighting even more fiercely than during their earlier brawl.
Upon seeing this, Jieyin thought to himself, "This is bad!" He quickly summoned the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and appeared beside Zhunti, the two brothers facing the situation together.
