Master Guangcheng seriously nodded.

Though he hadn’t known Wang Chong for very long, he could sense something special about him.

Wang Chong had a unique determination, as if the phrase ‘give up’ didn’t exist in his vocabulary. Perhaps it really was as Little Grass said. Perhaps he really was the only one who could stop Heaven and save this world. Moreover, whether it was the Origin Immortal Lord or that child Taiyi, they had treated him as the hope of this world.

Master Guangcheng was willing to believe in them, and believe in himself!

Time was short, so Wang Chong quickly returned to the hall and entered the Myriad Forms World.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.

“Still nothing?”

The others stood guard outside. Peering at Wang Chong within, they couldn’t help but be nervous.

Half a day had passed, and Wang Chong had been like a statue, sitting there the entire time without the slightest change.

“The Celestial Palace’s power is growing stronger and stronger. If this goes on, then we really won’t have a chance.”

Li Xuantu’s expression was dour as he glanced outside.

In this half day’s time, the distance between them and the outer barrier had shrunk by half.

This was a sign of the barrier’s weakening!

Outside the Celestial Emperor Palace, the ocean seemed to be evaporating and the six pillars had shifted forward. In the capital being projected onto the barrier, more and more people were toppling over.

Li Xuantu had even noticed that at least half of the Imperial Army and the Golden Guards had collapsed.

Like a chain of dominoes, it seemed like there was no stopping it.

Even so, Li Xuantu restrained himself.

At this moment, within the Myriad Forms World, Wang Chong’s heart was heavy.

“How can I destroy the Celestial Palace?”

In front of the Celestial Palace’s projection, Wang Chong frowned.

Half a day had passed in the outside world, but here, it had been three to four days. Wang Chong had spent every moment of those days thinking, but he had made no progress.

The passage of time was torture to Wang Chong.

“One gives rise to two, two gives rise to three, and three gives rise to all things. The foundation of the Celestial Palace is ‘one’, and ‘one’ is the strongest. It is the ‘one’ that gives rise to all things. This means that it is essentially the strongest, unbreakable. How exactly do I overcome it?”

Wang Chong’s brow deeply furrowed as he muttered to himself.

He had considered this problem for a very long time, but he had come up with nothing.

The Celestial Palace began with ‘one’, but its terminus was infinity. It could devour the entire world, merge with countless dimensions, and extend into infinite space. It would never have an end, and its momentum was unstoppable. Wang Chong found it impossible to imagine how far Heaven’s ambition would go if he weren’t stopped.

But Wang Chong could think of only one method to stop this: a return to the origin.

Water dropped from high mountains into the earth, forming small brooks. Brooks would become rivers, rivers would become lakes, and water would continue to spread throughout the world. But in the end, all of it flowed back into the ocean, all back to the primordial ‘one’.

If the concept upon which the Celestial Palace had been founded were reversed, a ‘reverse Celestial Palace’ created, this would theoretically be able to handle the Celestial Palace.

The only problem was that even this was simply a return to the ‘one’, which could only stand on equal footing with the Celestial Palace’s ‘one’.

If it could not overcome it, it naturally could not defeat it!

In the end, everything would just go back to the start.

“What do I do? What should be done?”

Wang Chong raised his head and muttered, his heart heavy.

Heaven’s power and talent were simply unfathomable. He had been able to comprehend the Great Dao from the chaotic storms in the universe and use his understanding to create the Celestial Palace.

Though Wang Chong had wracked his brains, even with Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan’s help, he was only able to come up with a solution that could balance out the Celestial Palace, not destroy it.

“What do I do? What should be done?” Wang Chong repeatedly muttered to himself.

Another two hours flew by, leaving only four hours left.

“Haaah…”

After some time, Master Guangcheng sighed, his eyes dimming.

So much time had passed, but Wang Chong continued to sit there like a statue.

On the projection, at least seventy percent of the people in the capital had already had their souls and minds drawn into the Celestial Palace.

“It’s too late, all too late.”

Master Guangcheng sighed.

Though there were still four hours, given how the Celestial Palace was operating, this much time wasn’t needed. As the souls and energy poured into the Celestial Palace, this enormous ritual tool would turn faster and faster. In truth, there was only one hour left.

This wasn’t Master Guangcheng’s only concern. Outside the Celestial Emperor Palace, ninety percent of that ocean had been evaporated, leaving only a little lake.

And from their perspective, they could see that the distance between Xuanyuan’s outer barrier and the golden barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace was only a hundred-some feet, meaning that Heaven could attack at any moment.

Li Xuantu was silent, his eyes shut. Since only this little time was left, he would do his utmost to try and find a solution. However, the bulging veins on the backs of his clenched hands revealed the results of his struggle.

Li Xuantu had attempted many methods to try and break the Celestial Palace, including using his strongest techniques to directly attack, the crudest of methods.

But all of his attempts had failed. Just as Wang Chong and Xuanyuan had both concluded, one was ten and ten was one. The Celestial Palace was a single integrated whole, and to attack any part of it was to attack the entirety of it.

The moment Li Xuantu’s attacks touched the Celestial Palace, the energy would be distributed across the rest of the Celestial Palace and greatly weakened. By the end, Li Xuantu’s Stellar Energy would be absorbed by the Celestial Palace.

This divine tool was simply unbreakable. This was what Li Xuantu had concluded from his multiple attempts.

Boom!

As everyone pondered what to do, an enormous energy slammed at Xuanyuan’s outer barrier, the impact causing the Celestial Emperor Palace to tremble.

Whoosh!

Everyone looked outside in alarm.

Hisss! The sea between Xuanyuan’s barrier and the Celestial Emperor Palace’s barrier boiled, the immense energy instantly turning all the water into steam. Without the support of this energy, Xuanyuan’s barrier rapidly shrank, and it was soon almost pressed up to the golden barrier, the distance between them the width of a fist.

“Not good!”

Everyone grimaced. They had not expected an attack from Heaven at this time.

“It seems that We overestimated you!” A voice boomed in their ears, and in a flash of light, a figure appeared outside Xuanyuan’s barrier.

Heaven!

That familiar figure made everyone pale. It wasn’t just because Heaven had appeared, but because this was Heaven’s actual avatar rather than a projection.

Different from the encounter on the steppe, Heaven had absorbed the energy of numerous citizens of the capital. He was much stronger, a vast sea of golden light radiating from his body.

Heaven was like a blazing sun, blindingly bright and difficult to look at directly.

“…Since that is so, then once things are over here, We will personally take action, ending this world and creating a new civilization.”

As Heaven spoke, he extended a figure. Boom! Xuanyuan’s barrier collapsed into countless shards, and the six massive pillars maintaining this world crumbled into dust.

“!!!”

Everyone was deeply shaken by this sight, and Master Guangcheng nastily scowled.

The danger had come so abruptly that they had all been caught off guard!

Master Guangcheng had believed that they still had an hour, but it now seemed that Heaven wouldn’t even give them that.

Buzz!

Heaven stomped down, and then he vanished. When he next appeared, he was right in front of the golden barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace.

“Give up. Accept your fate.”

Heaven’s eyes were cold as he slowly extended his right palm. He placed it on the golden barrier, the last barrier.

“Not good!”

Their eyes flew open, an unprecedented pressure descending on them. All of them could smell the thick stench of death.

Heaven was too powerful!

Xuanyuan’s outer barrier had broken, and once Heaven got through this last one, they would all be dead.

Most importantly, Wang Chong was still pondering a solution within the hall, but Heaven clearly did not intend to give him any more time.

“Li Xuantu, this is bad!” Master Guangcheng suddenly roared at Li Xuantu.

Bang!

Li Xuantu’s dantian erupted with power as a Yin Yang symbol appeared beneath his feet. Li Xuantu gathered up all his energy and slapped his palm down, sending the energy into the Yin Yang image.

This energy traveled through the ground and ultimately into the golden barrier around the Celestial Emperor Palace.

Although Li Xuantu and Master Guangcheng had failed to find a way to destroy the Celestial Palace, their efforts had not been fruitless.

They had expected that Heaven could attack at any time, and they had also found the nexus of the domain that the Yellow Emperor had left behind. Thus, they had considered using their energy to reinforce the domain and buy Wang Chong some time.

Buzz!

As expected, with the reinforcement of Li Xuantu’s Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy, the tottering golden barrier suddenly stabilized.

“It’s useless, a pointless struggle.”

Heaven’s voice rang out, his avatar floating outside the golden barrier with his hand still pressed to it, his face completely unperturbed.

“Even if you expend all your energy, what will that accomplish? How much time can that buy? Five minutes? Thirty minutes?”

Heaven’s voice was bone-chillingly cold.

Everything was within his expectations. In his eyes, Li Xuantu’s actions were utterly futile.
