CHAPTER 1498: CHAPTER 1498
Whoosh!
A black and white aura filled the heavens and earth. It was as if Yin and Yang were intersecting, giving birth to endless profundities that caused the entire world to be covered in black and white.
Everyone's gazes were filled with fear as they looked at the black and white jade bottle that was floating in the sky. The pressure emanating from it was something that even Heavenly Sovereigns would tremble.
The faces of Qing Yanjing, the Pagoda Ancestor, and the Profound Underworld Ancestor had turned unsightly as they looked at the black and white jade bottle with dense fear in their eyes.
The Yin-Yang Maha Gourd was the Saint Artifact of the Ancient Maha Clan, and not even ordinary Saint Heavenly Sovereigns could confront it. So one could imagine how powerful it was.
Every single usage of this Saint Artifact would exhaust the energy within it. So unless it's absolutely necessary, no one would use it so easily.
This was the reason why their faces changed when they saw that Maha Tian was willing to use it at all costs.
"That Maha Tian is insane." The Great Underworld Ancestor said in a solemn voice.
Standing beside him, Luo Li's face changed as she clenched her fist. The ancient diagram above her head started to blossom.
"Luo Li, don't be reckless. Although the power of the Ancient Spirit Diagram isn't any weaker than the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, you're not strong enough to bring out its power. If you forcefully use it, you will only injure yourself." Sensing Luo Li's actions, the Great Underworld Ancestor immediately said.
Gritting her teeth, Luo Li's eyes flickered with coldness and unwillingness. Maha Tian was simply too overbearing.
"Don't worry about it. If anything happens to Mu Chen, we will not stand by."
The Great Underworld Ancestor comforted. He was afraid that Luo Li would exhaust her blood essence to activate the Ancient Spirit Diagram, and it would definitely cause repercussions to her.
Luo Li tightly clenched her fists for a long time before she loosened them and gradually regained her composure. She understood that it would be useless for her to forcefully make a move at this moment. But if Maha Chen really wanted to be overbearing, she would stand beside Mu Chen regardless of the price she had to pay.
Mu Chen stood in the air as he looked at the black and white jade bottle. His pupils slightly shrunk. The might that was radiating from it caused even him to feel a trace of palpitation.
"As expected of the Ancient race. Their foundations are extraordinary." Mu Chen said in a low voice.
According to his estimations, the might of this black and white jade bottle could be ranked in the top ten in the entire Great Thousand World.
Maha Tian's gaze was as cold as ice as he stared at Mu Chen. He coldly snorted and formed seals with a single hand. Instantly, the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd slowly tilted and a black and white lustre poured out from the opening of the gourd.
The black and white light was formed from extremely pure Spiritual Energy. One was Yin, one was Yang, the other was blazing hot, and the other was icy cold. The two intersected and developed many mysteries. When it descended, any Spiritual Energy that came into contact with it would be assimilated into black and white.
Thus, when it descended, it had already turned into a black and white ocean that fell onto the Primordial True Seal Sphere. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
When the black and white lustre clashed with the crystalline lustre, an ear-piercing noise resounded with the two terrifying energies violently corroding each other. But this time, as the black and white lustre endlessly flowed down, everyone could see that the crystalline lustre on the Primordial True Seal Sphere had started to thin down.
That's because the Primordial True Seal Sphere's energy was being dissolved.
After a brief moment, Maha Tian roared and the Mighty Maha Body turned into a black and white pillar that soared into the sky and clashed with the Primordial True Seal Sphere.
Boom!
This time, the black and white pillar of light broke through the obstruction, while cracks appeared on the Primordial True Seal Sphere. In the end, it exploded, turning into specks of light that filled the sky.
When everyone saw this scene, they were inwardly shocked. With the help of the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, Maha Tian could even face a pinnacle Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign at this moment.
Facing Maha Tian, who had brought out this trump card, even with the Primordial Immortal Body, Mu Chen would still be in a disadvantageous position. After all, Mu Chen's cultivation was only in the Middle Phase Immortal Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
Standing on the shoulder of the Mighty Maha Body, Maha Tian coldly looked at Mu Chen and stretched his hand out. The Yin-Yang Maha Gourd slowly descended and hovered above his palm.
"You still don't intend to hand the Primordial Immortal Body over?" Maha Tian's expression was cold.
"Patriarch Maha, you're really thinking too highly of me." Mu Chen slowly said.
Squinting his eyes, Maha Tian coldly said, "Although it's a little unfair for us to use this formation to deal with you, my Ancient Maha Clan can't be bothered with that for the Primordial Immortal Body."
Looking at Mu Chen, his tone softened a little. "If you can hand the Primordial Immortal Body over, my Ancient Maha Clan will return it to you a hundred years later."
Shaking his head, Mu Chen replied, "The Primordial Immortal Body has already recognized an owner, so it's impossible for me to hand it over to you."
A chill flashed in Maha Tian's eyes as he responded, "Since that's the case, then I can only snatch it by force!"
Squinting his eyes, Mu Chen took a deep glance at Maha Tian. "Patriarch Maha, although your Ancient Maha Clan has a deep foundation, don't think that you can eat me today."
"Haha."
Maha Tian snickered, thinking that Mu Chen was still putting up a resistance.
"Then I'll give it a try today and see what other means you have!"
Maha Tian raised his hand and the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd slowly flew up with a terrifying fluctuation emanating from it.
"Maha Tian, don't go too far!"
At this moment, Qing Yanjing finally couldn't hold it back and coldly said, "You're forcing my son before me? Are you treating me as non-existent?"
She knew the power of the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, and with this treasure, even if Maha Tian faced someone like Yan Emperor or Wu Zu, he would still be able to confront them.
"Mother, don't be anxious. Since Maha Tian is asking for it, then let him be." But when Qing Yanjing spoke out, Mu Chen suddenly comforted.
His words instantly caused everyone to be shocked. Could it be that Mu Chen could confront Maha Tian with the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd?
But how was that possible?
In his current state, Maha Tian could confront a Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign. Although Mu Chen had a Saint Physique and Primordial Immortal Body, he still couldn't reach the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm.
Qing Yanjing also had a bellyful of doubts. But due to her trust in Mu Chen, she briefly hesitated before taking a step back and retracted the terrifying fluctuation around her.
"That brat still has other means?
How is that possible? "The Great Underworld Ancestor muttered.
Judging from the current situation, it's impossible for Mu Chen to make a comeback.
"What a shameless brat!"
Maha Tian smiled from the rage and no longer hesitated. He formed seals and the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd poured out with a black and white lustre flickering from the gourd. Thereafter, a black and white current gushed out and descended towards Mu Chen.
Under this black and white current, even a Saint Physique would be reduced to nothingness.
At this moment, everyone's gazes were gathered over.
However, only Mu Chen maintained a calm expression. He raised his head and looked at the black and white current. When it was within a hundred feet of him, he sighed and turned around, then bowed towards the Primordial Immortal Pagoda and said, "Maha Tian is stubborn. Please make a move, Senior."
Buzz!
In that instant when Mu Chen's voice landed, the stone pagoda suddenly trembled and a myriad of light swept up from the tip of the pagoda, sweeping the black and white current into the pagoda.
Boom!
At the same time, the pagoda soared into the sky and appeared above the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd in a flash. Its shadow enveloped down and the gourd was sucked into the pagoda before it descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
Boom!
Boom! An indescribable shock wave swept out in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, but it only lasted for a brief moment before it calmed down.
When the black and white aura dissipated, the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd had also disappeared.
This scene had happened far too quickly. The stone pagoda had only risen and then descended. However, by the time it descended, the entire world had already returned to normal.
Only then did the various experts regain their senses.
They stared at the empty sky as chilling voices rang out one after another.
"What?!"
Maha Tian and the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan were dumbfounded at this scene with shock in their eyes.
"What's going on?!"
Qing Yanjing, the Great Underworld Ancestor, and the rest were dumbfounded as they looked at the pagoda. At this moment, they could vaguely sense a massive and mysterious power emanating from the pagoda.
That power even made people as strong as them feel a trace of fear.
"This power …" Qing Yanjing and Futu Xuan exchanged a look before they exclaimed, "It's the Immortal Emperor!"
That power had vaguely exceeded the Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. Aside from the Immortal Emperor, who else could possess it?!
The shock on Maha Tian's face lasted for a brief moment before he gradually calmed down. Looking at Mu Chen with red eyes, he hollered, "Mu Chen, what have you done?!
Where's my clan's Yin-Yang Maha Gourd?! "
Indifferently sweeping a glance at him, Mu Chen replied, "The Immortal Emperor left the Primordial Immortal Body in the Ancient Maha Clan to prevent you guys from taking it for yourself. Hence, he left behind some means to keep it in check."
When he left the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, the silhouette in the pagoda had told him that if the Ancient Maha Clan wanted to make things difficult for him, he could use the power left in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.
That power was left behind by the Immortal Emperor all those years ago, and it was for the sake of preventing today's situation.
Initially, Mu Chen did not intend to use it, but Maha Tian was too overbearing. He even brought out the Saint Artifact of his clan, which forced him to use the power left behind by the Immortal Emperor.
"The power in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda will last for a year. After a year, the Primordial Immortal Pagoda will disappear, and the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd will be released."
Looking at Maha Tian, Mu Chen calmly said, "Patriarch Maha, are you still going to force it?"
Maha Tian's face twitched with his eyes turning red with rage surging in his heart. So it turned out that the Immortal Emperor had been guarding against their Ancient Maha Clan when he left the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.
This caused thick anger and humiliation to surge in his heart.
"I'm the Patriarch of the Ancient Maha Clan, and a brat like you isn't qualified to lecture me!"
Maha Tian roared with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Today, I'll see how a fallen Immortal Emperor can suppress my Ancient Maha Clan!"
"If you want to take the Primordial Immortal Body away, then start a war with my Ancient Maha Clan!"
Maha Tian's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, "Ancient Maha Clan, prepare for battle!"
When the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan heard his words, waves of Spiritual Energy soared into the sky and trembled the heavens and earth.
When Qing Yanjing and the Great Underworld Ancestor saw this scene, their faces turned pale. It looked like Maha Tian was going insane!
"Since that's the case, then my Ancient Buddha Clan will accompany you to the end!" Qing Yanjing took a deep breath and coldly said.
With a complicated expression, the Great Underworld Ancestor sighed, "Since that's the case, then my Ancient Spirit Clan can only participate in this matter."
Maha Tian roared, "Alright, my Ancient Maha Clan will challenge the two of your clans today. Let's see if you guys can do anything to my Ancient Maha Clan!"
Outside the Primordial Immortal City, everyone was shocked. Were the three Ancient Clans really going to start a war?
If that's the case, then it would definitely cause a huge wave in the Great Thousand World.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen's gaze turned cold.
Boom!
Just as the atmosphere between the heavens and the earth was about to be triggered, there was suddenly an ancient bell that seemed to come from afar.
When the bell rang out, Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, and the other Saint Heavenly Sovereigns squinted their eyes before they raised their heads and looked at the sky.
"That's the Great Thousand Palace's Great Thousand Bell?"
Under their gazes, a pillar of light shot out from the void. Within the pillar of light, a sturdy figure stepped through the air, and an oppressive might surged through the world.
At the same time, a majestic voice resounded in the air.
"For the sake of my Great Thousand Palace's face, I hope that both sides will stop fighting today."
Maha Tian, Qing Yanjing, and the rest looked at that towering silhouette with grave expressions. They never expected that even that person would show himself today.
The Great Thousand Palace, the Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian!
