A majestic voice reverberated across the sky. Countless gazes were filled with shock as they looked at the figure that had stepped out from the light pillar. That figure's entire body was surging with starlight. Mountains and rivers seemed to be engraved on his robes. Both of his eyes were like stars and were as deep as an abyss. Merely by standing there, he emitted an aura that could support the heavens, causing people to revere him.
"Great Thousand Palace, Devil Slayer King, Qin Tian."
Everyone looked at that person with shock on their faces as they exclaimed out loud.
There were many supreme forces in the Great Thousand World, but everyone knew that only the Great Thousand Palace could be considered as the strongest force in the Great Thousand World. That's because this force included all the lifeforms in the Great Thousand World.
The so-called Great Thousand Palace was more like an alliance of the Great Thousand Worlds.
An alliance formed to resist the Fiend Clans.
The founder of the Great Thousand Palace was the Immortal Emperor.
In ancient times, it was the appearance of the Great Thousand Palace that united the forces of the Great Thousand World. Everyone stopped fighting for themselves and joined together to resist the invasion of the Fiend Clans.
In the ancient war, the Great Thousand Palace's contribution was undeniable for the Great Thousand World to resist the Fiend Clans. So even now, everyone still maintained respect for the Great Thousand Palace.
Even top figures like Yan Emperor and Wu Zu had reserved their seats as elders in the Daqian Palace.
In the Great Thousand Palace, one would need Demon Slayer Points to raise their status, and only by killing a Sky Monarch could they obtain that title. If it was during the ancient war, perhaps a Demon Slayer King wouldn't be too rare. But in this era of peace, one would have to enter the territory of the Fiend Clans to kill a Sky Monarch.
This was something that not even a Saint Heavenly Sovereign would dare to try.
Therefore, in these thousands of years, the Great Thousand Palace only had one Demon Slayer King. He was a peerless expert who had once stepped into the Evil Domain and killed his way back.
And that peerless ferocious person was the man before them, Qin Tian.
Compared to Mu Chen, who was a Demon Slayer King, Qin Tian was a genuine Demon Slayer King that advanced through fighting with the Fiend Clans.
It was precisely because of this that when this person appeared, even Ao Ao and Maha Tian's faces drastically changed with fear filling their eyes.
"Brother Qin Tian, this is the matter of my Ancient Maha Clan, so the Great Thousand Palace shouldn't interfere in it, right?" Maha Tian took a deep breath.
Qin Tian's robes fluttered in the wind as he smiled at Maha Tian. "Patriarch Maha, why are you so obsessed with the Primordial Immortal Body?
This Primal Celestial Body has been in the Ancient Maha Clan for tens of thousands of years, but none of you managed to become its master. That means that there's no fate between the two of you. "
Maha Tian's face was unsightly. If someone else said those words, that person would have been sent flying by him. However, it wasn't the same for Qin Tian, since Qin Tian had already stepped into the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. He was someone that could be ranked in the top ten in the Great Thousand World, someone that could compete with Yan Emperor and Wu Zu.
If he had the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, Maha Tian might be able to confront Qin Tian. But with the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd being suppressed by the stone pagoda, he would definitely suffer a great loss facing a Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign.
Naturally, it was the Great Thousand Palace that stood behind Qin Tian. Although the Great Thousand Palace wouldn't interfere in any conflicts in the Great Thousand World, they still possessed great prestige that even their Ancient Maha Clan had to give face to.
But how could he be willing to let Mu Chen take away the Primordial Immortal Body?
"Brother Qin Tian, my Ancient Maha Clan has protected the Primordial Immortal Body for tens of thousands of years. Even if we don't have any contributions, we still have our efforts. How can Mu Chen take it away so easily?"
Taking a deep breath, Maha Tian's gaze flickered as he continued, "Furthermore, I have already taken a step back. I only asked him to leave the Primordial Immortal Body in my Ancient Maha Clan for another hundred years. After a hundred years, I will not obstruct him from retrieving it."
With a smile, Qin Tian replied, "Patriarch Maha, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here because of the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor's message."
Maha Tian's face froze, and the Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan also had a change in their faces with a trace of fear in their eyes.
Facing the Ancient Buddha Clan and Ancient Spirit Clan, their Ancient Maha Clan could still grit their teeth and endure. But if the Endless Fire Territory and Martial Realm were added in, even the Ancient Maha Clan wouldn't be able to take it.
Not to mention that their Ancient Maha Clan had once fought with the Endless Fire Territory in the past. In the end, Maha Tian was defeated by Yan Emperor. If it wasn't for the Yin-Yang Maha Gourd, their Ancient Maha Clan would have lost all their face back then.
But right now, Yan Emperor was no longer an Initial Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign. He had even surpassed Maha Tian and stepped into the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm. He was one of the top powerhouses in the Great Thousand World.
The Endless Fire Territory was powerful, and in terms of foundation, they weren't any weaker than their Ancient Maha Clan.
Furthermore, there was still Wu Zu and the Martial Realm that weren't any weaker than Yan Emperor and the Endless Fire Territory.
Outside the Primordial Immortal City, the other forces inwardly smacked their lips. Who could have expected that today's matter would attract so many forces?
Maha Tian's face was pale with rage rising in his heart. He initially wanted to suppress Lin Yun with his momentum, but he never expected that he would suffer the bitter consequences.
Endless Fire Territory, Martial Realm, Great Thousand Palace, Ancient Buddha Clan, and Ancient Spirit Clan.
With the five forces gathered together, the entire Great Thousand World would tremble, and even their Ancient Maha Clan wouldn't be able to resist them.
"Brother Qin Tian, are you guys trying to suppress my Ancient Maha Clan?" Maha Tian's face was pale.
Looking at Maha Tian, Qin Tian's expression gradually turned solemn as he replied, "Patriarch Maha, the Great Thousand World is facing a crisis with the Fiend Clans making a move. It's a good thing for our Great Thousand World that the Primordial Immortal Body can recognize an owner, so I hope that you can look at the bigger picture."
When Mu Chen heard those words, his heart trembled. Thinking about how the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor couldn't get away, he felt uneasy in his heart. Could it be that the Fiend Clans are going to make a comeback?
Maha Tian fell into silence. At this moment, he knew that it's impossible for him to retrieve the Primordial Immortal Body. Since that's the case, since the other party has given him a way out, then he could only accept it. Otherwise, the one to suffer would be his Ancient Maha Clan.
"Since the Great Thousand Palace has interfered, then my Ancient Maha Clan naturally has to give face."
Maha Tian finally spoke and the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around him gradually retracted before he coldly looked at Mu Chen. "But he has to return my clan's Yin-Yang Maha Gourd."
Looking at Mu Chen, Qin Tian gently smiled. "King Mu, it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. Since Patriarch Maha has taken a step back, then why don't you do the same?"
Since Qin Tian has spoken, Mu Chen naturally wouldn't brush him aside and nodded his head. After all, he also didn't want to start a war with the Ancient Maha Clan. Although he had the support of the Ancient Buddha Clan and Ancient Spirit Clan, the scale of the conflict was too great, and it would definitely result in the death of Heavenly Sovereigns.
It was already the best outcome for him to force Maha Tian to take a step back.
Turning around, Mu Chen cupped his fists towards the Primordial Immortal Pagoda. "Since there's already an outcome, then please make your move again."
Along with his voice, the Primordial Immortal Pagoda trembled and the peak of the pagoda shot out with a black beam that formed into a black and white jade gourd.
When Maha Tian saw this, he immediately waved his hand and the black and white jade gourd flew into his hand. He carefully examined it and felt heavily relieved when he saw that it wasn't damaged.
"It's truly the power left behind by the Immortal Emperor. Even after tens of thousands of years, it's still powerful."
Looking at the Primordial Immortal Pagoda, Qin Tian couldn't help sighing. Even with his cultivation in the Late Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign Realm, he still maintained a trace of reverence for the remnant ancient power in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.
However, the power in the Primordial Immortal Pagoda had also started to dissipate with cracks spreading out on the surface of the Primordial Immortal Pagoda.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen bowed towards the Primordial Immortal Pagoda once more.
When the surrounding forces saw that the tense atmosphere had been resolved, they inwardly felt relieved. A battle between deities would affect a huge range, and even ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn't dare to get involved in it.
So it was for the best that it ended so anticlimactic.
"Brother Qin Tian's arrival in my Ancient Maha Clan should be well-received, but the clan is in a mess right now, so we can only keep it simple."
Looking at the ruins of the Primordial Immortal City, Maha Tian felt stifled in his heart. He did not want to stay any longer, so he cupped his fists towards Qin Tian before turning into a streak of light and disappeared.
The Elders of the Ancient Maha Clan also followed after him.
Facing Maha Tian's actions, Qin Tian wasn't bothered. After all, his arrival had caused the Ancient Maha Clan to lose the Primordial Immortal Body, so it's natural for them to feel resentment.
Furthermore, he wasn't here for the Ancient Maha Clan.
Waving his hand, Qin Tian looked at Mu Chen and took a step forth. When he appeared before the latter, he smiled. "I've long heard that a Demon Slayer King has appeared in my Great Thousand Palace, and I've finally met you today."
Facing a genuine Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, Mu Chen maintained a trace of respect. "Senior Qin Tian is praising me too much. Don't you know that I'm not qualified to be a Demon Slayer King?"
"No matter how you obtained it, as long as you can obtain it, it's your fate. Furthermore, the current you is qualified to become a true Demon Slayer King." Qin Tian laughed out loud with a majestic aura.
In the past, it might be impossible for Mu Chen to kill a Sky Monarch. But with his Saint Physique and Primordial Immortal Body, his fighting prowess was comparable to a pinnacle Middle Phase Saint Heavenly Sovereign. So he could even kill an ordinary Sky Monarch.
With a smile, Mu Chen cupped his fists towards Qin Tian. "Regardless of anything, I still have to thank Senior for today. Otherwise, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be easy to resolve this matter."
Although he wasn't afraid of Maha Tian, he didn't want to drag the Ancient Buddha Clan and Ancient Spirit Clan into this matter.
Waving his hand, Qin Tian sighed, "If the three Ancient Clans start a war, the implications will be too great. So it's not the time for internal strife."
After a brief pause, he continued, "But I'm here to stop the war between the three Ancient Clans, and I have another mission."
Qin Tian waved his hand and several golden beams shot towards Qing Yanjing, Futu Xuan, and the Great Underworld Ancestor. There were even three that flew in the direction of Maha Tian's party.
When Qing Yanjing and the rest received the golden beams, their expressions suddenly turned solemn.
"This is?"
Mu Chen's gaze flickered with astonishment. He could vaguely sense that there seemed to be a golden invitation within the golden light.
Giving a smile to Mu Chen, Qin Tian replied, "You're also qualified to receive this invitation."
As he spoke, another golden beam flew out from his sleeve and flew towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen stretched his hand out and the golden beam landed on his palm. When the golden beam retracted, a golden invitation that looked as if it was forged from gold quietly laid in Mu Chen's hand.
He focused his gaze and saw three ancient words imprinted on the golden invitation.
Great Thousand Golden Invitation.
