Chapter 421: The Old Monster of the Mohe Ancient Clan – Late Stage Saint Heavenly Sovereign
"Die!"
In the skies above the Ice Spirit Clan's ancestral grounds, Mohe Tian's roar thundered through the air. His immense spiritual energy surged, boiling over like a raging river.
Xiao Tiance finally understood why Mohe Tian was such a fearsome figure in the Mohe Ancient Clan, destined to succeed as their young patriarch. The sheer force and intensity of his spiritual power were enough to impress anyone in the Great Thousand World.
A torrent of violent, domineering spiritual energy swept across the heavens, rippling with unstoppable momentum. Yet, no matter how intense the chaos surrounding Mohe Tian became, Xiao Tiance remained calm, as though he were entirely unbothered.
"Mohe Immeasurable Form!"
BOOM!
A towering spectral giant materialized behind Mohe Tian, exuding an aura so oppressive that it made the heavens tremble.
Xiao Tiance's body visibly trembled but not from fear.
Instead, it was excitement.
"Impressive. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top ten Supreme Avatars in the Great Thousand World. A perfect opportunity to test its strength against mine," Xiao Tiance murmured, his tone filled with anticipation as his own spiritual energy surged outward.
"Hum!"
In an instant, Xiao Tiance's body was enveloped by a towering giant of his own one that stretched over 3,000 meters into the sky.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
As the massive figure coalesced, Mohe Tian's eyes flickered with shock and disbelief.
"What... What kind of Supreme Avatar is this?!"
Even his Mohe Immeasurable Form one of the strongest avatars in existence seemed to cower in its presence.
Mohe Tian's heart raced. "Damn it! How can his avatar suppress even mine?!"
Though his Mohe Immeasurable Form was not fully overpowered, the pressure it endured was undeniable. Such dominance was unheard of.
"Come," Xiao Tiance said with a calm smile, his hands resting behind his back. "Last time, at White Jade Capital, you claimed I resorted to tricks. This time, I'll fight fair. Let's see if you can claim vengeance."
Mohe Tian's face flushed red with rage, his earlier composure melting under the fire of his fury.
"Mohe Immeasurable Tribulation!"
BOOM!
The heavens responded to his shout. A thick storm of black and white clouds gathered, writhing and spiraling into a massive tornado crackling with lightning. Wherever the tribulation tornado passed, destruction followed, reducing everything to dust.
Xiao Tiance raised an eyebrow. "Ah, the Mohe Immeasurable Tribulation a bold move. Looks like you're borrowing a page from my playbook: going all in with a finishing move."
The faint smile on Xiao Tiance's face deepened as he began forming intricate hand seals at an astonishing speed.
As the black and white tornado roared toward him, the sky above Xiao Tiance crackled with golden lightning. One after another, golden bolts descended, each one shattering the void itself with its devastating power.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The golden lightning wrapped around the tornado, battling its black thunderbolts for dominance. The clash of powers created a scene that seemed torn straight from an apocalyptic nightmare.
Mohe Tian growled, pouring more of his spiritual energy into his tribulation storm. The tornado swelled even further, pushing Xiao Tiance back several hundred meters.
But Xiao Tiance wasn't done.
His hand seals shifted seamlessly into a familiar technique: the Emperor Seal Art.
In front of him, five radiant golden seals appeared, each radiating boundless power. Xiao Tiance raised his hand and pushed the seals forward, their brilliance combining into a single overwhelming force.
The Emperor Seal Art was already a terrifying technique with five foundational seals: Mountain Crushing Seal, Ocean Flipping Seal, Earth Restoring Seal, Sky Annihilating Seal, and Ancient Emperor Seal. At its peak, these seals could rival Heaven tier combat arts.
But Xiao Tiance had gone a step further, modifying the technique to include three new seals: Supreme Seal, Sage Seal, and Heaven's Will Seal.
As the sixth seal the Supreme Seal merged with the golden construct, the surrounding space trembled violently. Even Mohe Tian's Mohe Immeasurable Form quaked under its overwhelming power.
"What... What kind of technique is this?!"
Mohe Tian's face paled. His Mohe Immeasurable Form was one of the Great Thousand World's strongest avatars, yet it was being shaken to its core.
What Mohe Tian didn't realize was that it wasn't just the technique overpowering him it was his own limitations. As a late stage Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, he simply lacked the power to fully unleash the potential of his avatar.
When Xiao Tiance added the seventh seal the Sage Seal to the golden construct, its brilliance transformed, taking on a resplendent rainbow hue.
"No! I can't let him finish this attack! If he does, I'll lose again, and I can't accept that!"
Desperation gripped Mohe Tian as he forced his avatar to push the tribulation tornado forward with everything he had. The black and white storm accelerated, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.
But Xiao Tiance remained unflinching, a calm smile still etched on his face.
Just as the tornado was about to crash into him, the eighth and final seal the Heaven's Will Seal descended like a divine decree.
BOOM!
The golden construct roared to life, shattering the sky with its unparalleled power as it surged forward to meet the tribulation tornado head on.
Boom!
As the final Heaven's Will Seal merged into the golden palm imprint, the massive construct expanded several times over. In the blink of an eye, it formed an impenetrable barrier, halting Mohe Tian's Mohe Immeasurable Tribulation in its tracks.
"It seems you're not as strong as I imagined," Xiao Tiance sneered, showing no intention of entertaining Mohe Tian's attempts at conversation. With a sharp push of his palms, the golden imprint surged forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The golden palm collided with the black and white thunderstorm tornado, shattering the void as lightning roared and crackled. The palm, unyielding like the mightiest force in existence, carved a path through the storm with ease, leaving no resistance in its wake.
"Damn it, move! Move!"
Mohe Tian, watching the unstoppable imprint rapidly approach, screamed internally.
He knew with utter certainty that his current strength was far from enough to withstand such a terrifying attack.
But just as the imprint was about to obliterate him, a jade pendant hanging from Mohe Tian's neck flared to life. A pulse of energy rippled outward, silencing the chaotic battlefield.
In the next moment, a figure materialized a shadowy image resembling Mohe Tian, though noticeably older, with an aura so oppressive it made the world itself tremble.
The newcomer calmly raised a finger, pointing it toward the devastating golden imprint.
It appeared effortless, a gesture devoid of strength. Yet, inexplicably, the eight fold fusion of Xiao Tiance's seals came to a dead halt, mere inches from its target.
"Impressive technique. Strong enough to trouble even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign in its early stage. But for someone like me? Not nearly enough," the figure said indifferently.
A network of cracks spread across the golden palm, until finally
Boom!
It shattered into fragments, the resulting shockwave wreaking havoc across the surroundings. However, the figure stood unmoved, striding forward leisurely as if the storm didn't exist.
"Late stage Saint Heavenly Sovereign..."
Xiao Tiance's pupils shrank as he instinctively swallowed, overwhelmed by the sheer pressure emanating from the figure.
Even though it was clear this wasn't the person's actual body, the oppressive aura alone made him feel as though he was standing before an insurmountable mountain.
"A senior from the Mohe Clan..."
The thought sent chills down Xiao Tiance's spine.
Before he could react, the shadow flickered and appeared directly in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the figure didn't attack. Instead, he scrutinized Xiao Tiance from head to toe before speaking in a calm yet commanding tone:
"Lord of White Jade Capital, this junior from my clan has embarrassed himself before you. Would you be willing to let me take him back for proper discipline?"
His words carried an underlying threat, as though a refusal would invite instant destruction.
Xiao Tiance chuckled coldly, keeping his composure despite the danger.
"So it's a senior from the Mohe Clan. Pardon me for not offering a proper welcome. You may do as you please, as I have no way of stopping you."
While his tone was light, his words were edged with defiance, making it clear that if the elder tried to suppress him, he wouldn't go down without a fight.
The shadow seemed amused, as if he saw through Xiao Tiance's hidden preparations.
**"Haha, no wonder you're the Lord of White Jade Capital remarkable indeed. Very well, I promise this unruly junior won't trouble you for the next thousand years.
Now, perhaps you could deactivate the formation surrounding him, as well as that hidden flame lingering in the void?"**
As he spoke, the shadow lifted the immobilization on Xiao Tiance, his tone almost teasing.
Xiao Tiance smirked. "No need. As long as you leave peacefully, I won't activate anything. Compared to a late stage Saint Heavenly Sovereign, a mere late stage Spirit Heavenly Sovereign like me is hardly a threat, no?"
The shadow laughed heartily. "Good, good. It seems one who possesses the Heavenly Calamity Body is no petty schemer. Little friend, if you're ever free, do visit the Mohe Clan. I find you... quite fascinating."
With those parting words, the shadow dissipated, taking Mohe Tian with him.
"Phew!"
As the oppressive aura vanished, Xiao Tiance exhaled deeply, finally relaxing. Retracting the spiritual formation around Mohe Tian and recalling the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, he muttered to himself:
"The Mohe Clan... Such terrifying monsters hidden in their ranks. If that elder truly wanted me dead, I'd have no chance. At best, I'd drag Mohe Tian down with me in a mutual kill."
Though his back was drenched in cold sweat, Xiao Tiance forced himself to focus.
With Mohe Tian gone, his attention shifted to the other battles raging across the battlefield:
Ling'er vs. Snow Demon Elder
Ling'er, piloting the Twelve Heavenly Fiends Puppets, was utterly dominating. She hadn't even used her full abilities as an array master, relying solely on the Sky Marquis Puppet to suppress the Snow Demon Elder. The other eleven puppets? They hadn't even moved.
Nine Abyss vs. Dragon Sovereign
Nine Abyss had unleashed his true form as the Nine Headed Serpent, fiercely clashing with the Dragon Sovereign in his draconic form. Though Nine Abyss was holding his ground, the Dragon Sovereign's superior cultivation hinted at a potential victory if the fight dragged on.
Lin Dong vs. Western Sky War Emperor
The most intense fight of all. The War Emperor's Supreme Avatar gave him a clear upper hand, yet Lin Dong's mastery of the Thunder and Devouring Ancestral Symbols kept him firmly in the fight. A devastating misstep by the War Emperor had already cost him dearly.
"Hmm... Mohe Tian's gone. Looks like I'll have to play the opportunist," Xiao Tiance mused, his spiritual energy surging as he prepared to intervene.
His sudden burst of power immediately drew the attention of the Snow Demon Elder and Dragon Sovereign. Frustrated by their inability to secure a swift victory, they hesitated before retreating.
"War Emperor, our debt is repaid. Farewell!"
With that, the two retreated, leaving the War Emperor to face Lin Dong and, potentially, Xiao Tiance.
