On the battlefield, the situation changed abruptly!
Just as Wu Ming called out for the axe, two streams of profound light shot out from Pangu Hall, which were the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner.
The moment the two supreme treasures appeared, they instantly merged into the Opening Heaven Axe phantom!
Buzz—!
In an instant, the Opening Heaven Axe phantom's light surged, and a terrifying pressure, far exceeding what it had before, permeated the air, as if it wanted to cleave open the entire Primordial World!
"This… this is the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner!"
Among the Three Pure Ones observing the battle from afar, Yuanshi Tianzun's face instantly turned black.
Pointing at the Opening Heaven Axe, he was so angry that his lips trembled: "He… he actually used my Pangu Banner here!"
Laozi's face was also ashen, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He finally understood why Wu Ming had borrowed their Inante supreme treasures for three uses back then.
He also finally understood why Wu Ming had sought to borrow their Inante supreme treasures before the battle between the Wu and Yao Races!
It turned out that he had been waiting for them here! This Wu Ming's calculations were simply terrifyingly deep!
Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti also showed great changes in their expressions, and their hearts were churning with turbulent waves.
At this moment, how could they not understand that Wu Ming's previous negotiations with them were by no means casual!
"This Wu Ming…" The bitterness on Jieyin Daoist's face was almost dripping.
"He demanded one-third of the Karma of my Western Dao Lineage back then, and now it seems, this old Daoist still underestimated him!"
Zhunti nodded repeatedly from the side, a mix of fear and surprise in his eyes: "Senior Brother is absolutely right!"
"The supreme treasures of Laozi and Yuanshi Dao Brother can actually make the power of the Celestial Godly Universe Shaking Formation surge to such an extent!"
"What kind of terrifying assistance will the price we paid bring to the Wu Race in the future?"
Nuwa's delicate body also trembled slightly, her jade hands tightly clenched. She thought of how she had just agreed to Wu Ming to do three things for the Wu Race after becoming a Saint.
At that time, she only thought of saving her Senior Brother Fuxi, and felt that three things were nothing major.
But now, it seemed that this Wu Ming's mind was as deep as the sea, and his ambitions were not small!
Laozi and Yuanshi's Magic Treasures, only borrowed three times, could bring such immense help to the Wu Race at such a crucial moment.
Then what price would she have to pay for the three things she would do after becoming a Saint in the future?
She dared not think further, only feeling a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
In the center of the battlefield, Dijun's previously triumphant and arrogant laughter came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a face full of horror and disbelief.
He watched with his own eyes as the Opening Heaven Axe, which had merged with the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, unleashed a power that was more than twice as strong as before!
That power made him feel the threat of death!
He couldn't understand why the Three Pure Ones' supreme treasures had fallen into Wu Ming's hands.
Wu Ming, however, was too lazy to waste words with him. With a thought, he controlled the Opening Heaven Axe, which had merged with the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, and ruthlessly chopped down at the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation!
"No—!" Dijun shrieked in agony.
Crack—Boom!!!
This time, there was no suspense whatsoever!
The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, which had just received the Heavenly Dao's power and whose might had surged, was instantly cleaved open from the middle, like paper, under this supreme strike!
Billions of star phantoms instantly extinguished, and many of the Yao Race members forming the formation died directly before they even had time to let out a scream!
Blood dyed Mount Buzhou red, and severed limbs flew everywhere.
"Pfft!"
Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi were struck by lightning, both spitting out a mouthful of blood, their aura instantly withered to the extreme, their eyes filled with despair and resentment.
The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation was broken!
Their Yao Race had lost!
However, the moment the formation broke, Wu Ming did not press the attack, nor did he swing the Opening Heaven Axe again to slay the remaining Yao Race members.
He controlled the Pangu True Body, and its huge palm suddenly reached out, ignoring the spatial distance, directly grabbing at the still-shocked Donghuang Taiyi within the formation.
More precisely, it was grabbing at the chaos bell suspended above Donghuang Taiyi's head!
The chaos bell above Donghuang Taiyi's head let out a mournful cry, yet it was seized by the giant hand, and no matter how Donghuang Taiyi urged it, he could not break free!
"Wu Ming! How dare you!" Donghuang Taiyi's eyes were bloodshot, and his mind trembled.
That was his Innate supreme treasure, the object that suppressed the Yao Race's Luck!
The Pangu True Body's giant hand shook, completely suppressing the chaos bell's resistance.
The chaos bell transformed into a stream of light, instantly disappearing into Pangu Hall, completely suppressed by an invisible force!
"He… he wants to seize the chaos bell!"
"The Opening Heaven Axe, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner… plus the chaos bell."
"This is… to reassemble the three Opening Heaven treasures, to recreate the Opening Heaven Axe! To enhance the power of the Pangu True Body!" Yuanshi Tianzun cried out in alarm, his eyes filled with shock.
The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and even Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, all understood Wu Ming's intention at this moment!
This Wu Ming, what a grand scheme! What deep calculations!
After suppressing the chaos bell, Wu Ming looked coldly at the already heavily wounded Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.
Killing intent surged in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to try if he could completely slay these two Golden Crows here!
Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed!
With a thought, Wu Ming's Pangu True Body once again raised the Opening Heaven Axe and, without hesitation, brought it down upon Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi!
The shadow of death instantly enveloped Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi. They wanted to escape, but found that the space around them had already been locked by the terrifying axe intent.
No matter how they struggled, they could not move an inch!
"My life is over!" Despair surged simultaneously in the hearts of Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.
Just at this critical moment!
Buzz—!
The Void Realm rippled slightly.
A figure that seemed ethereal, yet also seemed to have existed since ancient times, suddenly appeared before Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi.
That figure merely flicked a sleeve gently.
Silently.
That terrifying axe light, capable of splitting heaven and earth and annihilating everything, dissipated into nothingness.
As if it had never appeared.
Hongjun's figure appeared silently in the center of the battlefield, his expression indifferent, showing no joy or anger.
Seeing Dao Ancestor Hongjun appear, Wu Ming's eyes were calm, and he secretly thought, "As expected."
"Dao Ancestor!"
Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi, having survived the calamity, were both shocked and delighted, and immediately prostrated themselves.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"
"We all greet Dao Ancestor!"
"Disciple greets Master!"
Upon seeing who had arrived, whether it was the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, or Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, and others observing from afar, all were greatly shocked and bowed in salute.
The one who came was none other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not respond to everyone's salutations. He first swept his gaze over the Pangu True Body controlled by Wu Ming, and the giant axe in the true body's hand.
Then, he glanced faintly at Laozi and Yuanshi, whose faces were extremely unsightly, and let out an almost imperceptible cold snort.
Finally, his gaze returned to Wu Ming, and he slowly spoke, his voice flat yet carrying authority: "A good stratagem."
"You calculated this step so early, even calculating my Disciples into it."
"However, this alone is not enough."
Hongjun looked at Wu Ming and slowly said: "Wu Ming, as long as you are willing to follow this Daoist back to Zixiao Palace for cultivation, and do not step into the Primordial World again before the end of this calamity."
"I can make the decision to leave a glimmer of hope for your Wu Race in the Primordial World."
