"In that case, don't blame us."
A white scroll was unfurled, and suddenly, the sky grew dark.
A sacred whisper echoed through the heavens, capturing everyone's attention.
"You intend to..."
The Punishment Elder seemed to realize something, his expression drastically changed.
Elder Yun Qu took a sharp breath.
Elder Zhu Xiang's face was rather grim.
The three of them had already anticipated what Elder Su and Elder Rong were planning to do next.
The whisper that filled the entire world continued to resound, as if chanting the True Scripture, making it hard to discern the voice, yet one could feel a majestic awe.
Meanwhile, in the distance, millions of miles away, a figure clad in black robes, stepping on white clouds, was swiftly approaching.
"What is that!"
Feeling the world's light suddenly dim, Wang Xu's heart sank.
He had just been cultivating the "Emperor's Extreme Divine Suppression Record" when his master suddenly informed him to leave for the Cyan Brahma Realm and head to the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.
As soon as he arrived, this scene unfolded before his eyes.
In the distance, the clouds in the sky parted, and gentle, sacred light poured down upon the earth.
However, this gentle, sacred light burst with murderous intent, violence, hostility, resentment, and all negative auras!
Among them, the most surging was battle intent!
A boundless, vast battle intent, like a colossal beast larger than the heavens, opened its giant maw, about to devour everyone!
Accompanied by these violent auras, a gigantic black shadow appeared from the parted clouds.
"A scythe?"
Wang Xu frowned.
Indeed, the enormous black shadow slowly emerging from the clouds was an enormous scythe with its surface interwoven like scales, emitting a chilling glint.
The black scythe descended slowly from the clouds, releasing a surging, overwhelming murderous intent.
For a moment, Wang Xu seemed to hear the thundering gallop of thousands of horses, the boundless sounds of slaughter echoing in his ears.
When this enormous black scythe descended, positioned at a slant, its sharp, curved blade pointing directly at the three Divine Gate Elders, another weapon appeared.
A blood-colored giant axe.
Emitting an ancient aura, the overwhelming bloodlust was so intense it could almost dye the clouds blood red.
This giant axe had no intricate form or patterns, with the area connecting the blade wrapped in white rope.
From a distance, it seemed like an artifact from countless ages past, completely out of place with the present.
But this very giant axe drained the color from the faces of the three Divine Gate Elders.
"The Heaven-Clashing Scythe and the Heaven-Sacrificing Axe!"
The Punishment Elder's face turned ghastly pale, "They have gathered these two Supreme Law artifacts, this was all premeditated!"
"Hmph! This isn't about seeking justice at all; it's just an excuse for the two Divine Sects to unite and wage war on our Imperial Extreme!"
Elder Yun Qu was both surprised and angry.
The Heaven-Clashing Scythe and the Heaven-Sacrificing Axe.
These two Supreme Law artifacts, since the existence of the Red Sun Divine Continent, fell from "Outer Heaven" as divine entities.
These divine entities cannot be considered Divine Treasures or deemed Heaven-Shocking Secret Collections, and no strong cultivator could ever truly bind them with a drop of blood to become their master.
Thus, they were called "Supreme Law Artifacts," implying treasures descended from Supreme Laws, which even supreme beings dare not desecrate.
Yet with the passage of time and the evolution of eras, these two divine artifacts gradually came to symbolize war, even becoming heralds of immense warfare.
Whenever massive wars broke out on the Red Sun Divine Continent, echoes of these two artifacts were present, cementing them as symbols of war.
The two divine artifacts always existed within the Qiankun Divine Sect and the Burning Wild Divine Sect.
Since no one could wield them, the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect did not pay much heed to this matter.
Yet no one expected that the Qiankun Divine Sect and the Burning Wild Divine Sect would together summon these two artifacts.
For as soon as they appeared, they signified but one meaning—
Divine Sect War!
The Red Sun Divine Continent is about to be engulfed in the flames of war, and the two Divine Sects will join forces to erase the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect from the map of the Red Sun Divine Continent!
Buzz~~
The blood-colored giant axe descended, also in a slanting stance, crossing with the black scythe, and as soon as they combined, the violent aura surged several times over, so much so that even Wang Xu, though far beyond millions of miles, could clearly sense that terrifying and overwhelming violent aura!
All disciples at this moment were utterly terrified and at a loss.
What exactly had transpired?
What was the significance of those two gigantic weapons in the sky?
Though they knew nothing, they could feel it, the scent of blood was spreading, soon there would be major events, and slaughter would be inevitable!
"If you wish to wage war, our Imperial Extreme Divine Sect will accompany you."
At this moment, a majestic voice descended from the sky.
The five Elders looked up, and above the void, a figure in green holding a jade flute, appearing calm as still water, not unlike the Divine Gate Elders.
Yet the appearance of this green-robed figure represented the entirety of the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.
"Haha... Qing Sibai, don't be mistaken, it's not us adamantly seeking war, but your disciple has committed a grave mistake, and you refuse to hand him over. For the dignity of our Qiankun Divine Sect, a battle is inevitable!"
A voice like thunder rumbled up.
Crackle!
Lightning struck, electric glints flickering. A figure with golden hair, akin to a golden lion, emerged from the electric flash.
The Divine Master of the Qiankun Divine Sect!
"That's right, your Imperial Extreme Divine Sect is too arrogant, out of place with the world. The secular realm has long resented you, and everyone wishes to eliminate you. Our actions today are merely carrying out the will of the heavens!"
Swoosh!
A small flame suddenly ignited in the void, and within moments, it transformed into a sea of fire.
But this sea of fire rapidly contracted back, coalescing into a humanoid flame. As the fire subsided, a fiery figure emerged.
The Divine Master of the Burning Wild Divine Sect!
The three Divine Masters arrived together, a scene that even the elders of the Divine Sect had never witnessed in person, let alone the disciples from afar, each one utterly shocked!
"Three Divine Masters... the top figures of the Red Sun Divine Continent have all arrived. Could this be the prelude to war?"
Wang Xu felt a chill in his heart.
Once war breaks out, the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect will inevitably be drawn in, and he would have to join the war himself.
He did not fear war, for Wang Xu, it was already commonplace.
But what he feared most was that the war between the three Divine Sects would prevent him from reaching the Celestial God Peak and cause him to miss the chance to ascend the Celestial God List!
This was something Wang Xu could not accept.
If he missed this opportunity, he would lose everything!
"Put away your hypocritical faces."
The Green-Clad Divine Master, expressionless, waved his hand to seal the void, blocking any sound from escaping, "The reason you initiated this war is nothing more than for the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection in my possession."
The mention of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection lit a fervent fire in the eyes of both the Qiankun Divine Master and the Burning Wild Divine Master.
At their level of realm, treasures in the Red Sun Divine Continent capable of moving them were exceedingly rare.
And the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection was one of them!
The news of the Green-Clad Divine Master possessing the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection was something they had known for some time.
However, at that time, the Divine Continent was in a state of tripartite confrontation, each power restraining the others, unwilling to trust anybody easily, and unable to form a true alliance.
But as the ages passed and their mutual estrangement gradually melted away, their strength subtly increasing, the allure of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection grew ever more lethal!
Everyone wanted to obtain the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, but there was only one.
After forming an alliance, how would it be distributed?
Various vexing problems kept the two Divine Masters from deciding to wage war against the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.
Now, the timing, the pretext, and a fresh piece of news finally led them to make up their minds.
"Qing Sibai has a map burying another piece of the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection!"
Upon receiving this information, both decided immediately.
The Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection in Qing Sibai's possession belonged to whoever could seize it; those who couldn't would become the map's owner.
Coincidentally, matters concerning Wang Xu reached the ears of the Qiankun Divine Master.
Thus, the plan came to be.
...
"Qing Sibai, since everything is clear, there's no need for further pretenses!"
Lightning flashes as the Qiankun Divine Master's eyes of thunder stared directly at the Green-Clad Divine Master, "Hand over the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection and the map recording it, and I can choose to withdraw my forces and make peace with you."
"You can't protect the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection! With two Divine Sects bearing down, no matter how powerful your Imperial Extreme Divine Sect is, how can it withstand the armies of my two Divine Sects! If you don't want the forces you built with your own hands to perish in history, obediently hand over the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection."
Flames surged on the Burning Wild Divine Master's body.
At this moment, the two of them made no effort to hide their greed and ambition.
They were here for the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection.
"Those who offend my Imperial Extreme have never lived. My Imperial Extreme Divine Sect has existed for so long, never fearing any outside enemy. You want to destroy the Imperial Extreme? Ridiculous!"
Qing Sibai's gaze turned sharp, the aura surging from him shattered the void behind him!
In the pitch-black void fissure, temporal storms roared, and Qing Sibai stood atop the void opening, letting the temporal storm sweep over him without flinching.
Qing Sibai's murderous intent surged, and it was the first time Wang Xu saw his master show anger.
"The most peaceful person has the most terrifying fury."
Either die in silence or erupt in silence.
The more gentle one appears, the more unexpectedly they erupt.
"Hehehe... kill!!"
The Qiankun Divine Master let out a series of strange laughs, then his face changed, charging upwards with a roar.
The Burning Wild Divine Master also acted without hesitation.
Instantly, heaven and earth trembled, the void seemed to experience an "earthquake," making it difficult for Wang Xu to maintain his balance.
Boom~~~
A terrifying wave of primordial qi spread out, and Wang Xu's pupils shrunk as he quickly retreated.
Puff.
But it was too late, half of Wang Xu's left arm was caught in the aggressively attacking primordial qi wave, completely reduced to dust, exposing the ominous white bone within as blood splattered out.
