Chen Yuan knew that Xiang Qianqiu was plotting against him through Li Suqing and his second uncle Chen Huaiyi, and Xiang Qianqiu also knew that Chen Yuan had seen through the whole thing.

Yet, even so, Chen Yuan had come.

Therefore, Chen Yuan really didn't know why they were so confident, so sure that he would lose. Did they not know that nothing is absolute?

"Then why don't you reveal your trump cards and see which of us, father and son, is superior?" Xiang Qianqiu wasn't as completely confident as the Lord of the Seven Killing Hall that their side would win.

He was still somewhat suspicious of the attitude Chen Yuan was showing.

But...

What exactly were Chen Yuan's trump cards that gave him such confidence?

Their side, after several major battles, had almost revealed everything. There were nearly ten Yang God True Monarchs, but not all of them could be present today, as they also needed to guard against others.

There would be no more than twenty Transforming Yang True Persons.

And there was Moro, an immortal. At best, combined with the immortal foundation of the Tai Xu Palace, what else was there?

The sword immortal of Mount Shu had fallen in the Battle of Zijin Mountain, and he had received definite news of that. The immortal foundation of Biyou Palace had also been buried in the Battle of Zhennan Pass.

Therefore, he was very curious, where did Chen Yuan's confidence come from?

Although this was already an extremely strong force, it was by no means invincible!

He wanted to see it.

Was this son really completely surpassing him?

Chen Yuan extended his right palm and gently rubbed two fingers together.

"Snap!"

A crisp snapping sound reached everyone's ears.

The next moment,

Jiang He, dressed in white, rapidly arrived from afar on his sword, radiating a strong aura of sharpness. Closely following him were Lingxu True Monarch, the headmaster of Mount Shu, and Chongxu True Monarch.

This was the only remaining top combat power of Mount Shu. The other powerhouses had fallen in successive major battles.

It had to be said that the deepest support for Chen Yuan came from Mount Shu. For several battles, Mount Shu had lost a Yang God True Monarch and many Transforming Yang True Persons.

As well as hundreds of Mount Shu disciples.

They had almost placed all their hopes on Chen Yuan, losing their immortal foundation and taking out most of their accumulated resources over thousands of years to support Chen Yuan.

If Chen Yuan lost, Mount Shu would no longer have the strength to call itself an immortal sect.

They would be reduced to a similar situation as the Gu family.

Of course, the more you bet, the greater the reward.

Once Chen Yuan really succeeded, the benefits Mount Shu would receive would be the greatest of all the immortal sects.

This was an initial public offering...

After the three of them, Zhao Danqing of Biyou Palace, the Hundred-zhang Divine Tortoise, Void Word Monk, Celestial Void Taoist, and another white-haired Yang God True Monarch also appeared.

And the unfamiliar one was none other than a Supreme Elder of the Tai Xu Palace.

His lifespan was nearing its end, and he had originally planned to live out his days in peace. But after considering and weighing the options, he decided to make one last effort and bet on the Tai Xu Palace.

Although Celestial Void Taoist was strong, he was ultimately just a Yang God True Monarch.

Therefore, he had to appear!

And the appearance of these eight Yang God True Monarchs was almost all the top combat power currently under Chen Yuan, except for Chu Changfeng, who was stationed at Zhennan Pass. Almost everyone had been mobilized.

After they appeared, further away, more than ten Transforming Yang True Persons appeared one after another, each holding a formation plate, forming two large formations.

Each great formation was enough to contend with a Yang God head-on, and even if it wasn't enough, it could definitely restrain them for a period of time.

Xiang Qianqiu's gaze swept over everyone, his expression solemn:

"This time, you've really laid bare your family fortune..."

"I'll say it again, I cannot rest easy until you are dead. Even if the army under your command really breaks through the defense line of Shu Prefecture, it will be worth it as long as we can leave you here..."

Chen Yuan knew that Xiang Qianqiu would definitely send troops to attack the vulnerable Shu Prefecture after luring him out, but he still came.

In fact, not only could Xiang Qianqiu not guess his trump cards, but he was also puzzled about what Xiang Qianqiu's trump cards were. Relying solely on the Seven Killing Hall, the Heavenly Demon Hall, and the Goddess Palace was not enough to annihilate them all.

This was a very serious issue that deserved his careful consideration.

Even a little more strength would be excellent.

The foundation was important, but at this critical moment, it was not important. He had already handed over the power in his hands to Yang Huatian, who would return to Shu Prefecture to lead several Transforming Yang True Persons to guard the border of Shu Prefecture.

Unless several Yang God True Monarchs personally arrived, the border would definitely not be broken.

To put it another way, even if the border of Shu Prefecture was broken, it would be worth it as long as they could leave Xiang Qianqiu and these people here today.

"Celestial Void, I'm very disappointed that you're unwilling to help me..." Xiang Qianqiu turned his head, looking at the Celestial Void Taoist in front of him and said softly.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. This humble Taoist thinks that Prince Yan is more qualified to be the ruler of men." Celestial Void Taoist made a *ji shou*, nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

"The Tai Xu Palace is already showing signs of decline, and this time, it has almost bet all its strength. But have you ever thought about what would happen to the Tai Xu Palace if Chen Yuan were to lose today?"

Celestial Void Taoist frowned, without answering.

"And Headmaster Zhao, the immortal foundation of Biyou Palace has been exhausted. Once you bet wrong, you will no longer be called an immortal sect from now on. Why bother wading into this muddy water?

As long as you are willing to retreat, I, Xiang, can promise you that I will definitely not settle accounts later. We can even join forces to truly restore the past glory of Biyou Palace and Tai Xu Palace."

"It's a bit too late to say these things now."

Zhao Danqing slowly shook his head, directly refusing.

Xiang Qianqiu had a look of disappointment on his face, and finally turned his gaze to Lingxu True Monarch of Mount Shu:

"Mount Shu and my Xiang clan's imperial family are close friends. This was the case a thousand years ago, and even more so two hundred years ago when the Great Chu was in danger. But why do you now draw your swords against my Xiang clan's imperial family?"

"The past is gone. The grievances between Mount Shu and the Xiang clan's imperial family were completely cleared when the immortals of Mount Shu fell more than two hundred years ago. There's no need to say anything else.

And..."

"And what?"

"Moreover, this humble Taoist doesn't trust you either."

"Hehe, good, good..."

"The strength you've shown now is not enough to leave me here."

Chen Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, seeming not to pay much attention, and finally focused on Xiang Qianqiu in the front.

"That's just what you think."

Xiang Qianqiu smiled and glanced at the Lord of the Seven Killing Hall beside him, nodding slightly.

The Lord of the Seven Killing Hall understood, crushed a jade talisman in his hand, and bowed:

"Respectfully invite the Ancestor!"

"Respectfully invite the Ancestor!"

The other Yama Lords of the Seven Killing Hall all said in unison at this moment.

In an instant, the ground below began to crack, and cracks began to appear. The earth shook and the mountains trembled. As far as the eye could see, the entire world was trembling.

Then, a chain as black as ink instantly broke through the air and emerged from the cracks in the ground.

The second one,

The third one,

The fourth one...

Chains intertwined in the void, directly piercing into the void, like nails, straightening the black chains. The next moment, a bronze divine coffin was pulled out of the ground by several chains.

"Ka Ka..."

The bronze divine coffin made a slight noise, and everyone's gaze quickly focused on the divine coffin.

"Boom!"

The divine coffin was opened, the coffin lid flew up, revealing a fleshly body inside.

The skin was shriveled, the eye sockets were sunken, the sparse long hair was withered and yellow, and the face and palms were full of bulging veins. It wore a black armor of a simple style.

The patterns on it were somewhat unclear.

Its sunken eye sockets slowly trembled, and suddenly opened its eyes.

Boom!

An extremely grand aura suddenly erupted, sweeping across the heavens and the earth.

The moment it opened its eyes, endless heaven and earth spiritual energy rapidly condensed into a vortex, pouring down towards it. Rolling black clouds stretched for more than a hundred miles.

Streams of pure killing intent uncontrollably scattered in all directions.

A look of solemnity finally appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

Seven Killing Hall... Immortal!

Although he had guessed this step, he still didn't dare to take it lightly. The Seven Killing Hall was known for its killing and had extremely powerful combat power, not to be underestimated.

At least for him now, he was not an opponent at all.

"Where is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Xiang Qianqiu looked at Chen Yuan with a faint smile.

"Amitabha..."

A faint Buddhist chant, like a spring breeze and drizzle, brushed over everyone. At this moment, the rolling black clouds condensed by the Seven Killing Hall's immortal were directly pierced by a golden light.

The golden light turned into steps, and Moro, dressed in a white monk's robe, approached step by step, the golden light around him radiating compassion.

Dispelling the killing intent scattered by the Seven Killing Hall's immortal.

The Seven Killing Hall's immortal instantly stood up, like a zombie, his pupils gradually enveloped in blood, staring at Moro, with some fear in his eyes.

"Mo...ro..."

Like the friction of dry bark, the voice was hoarse and strange.

"Greetings, Benefactor."

Moro put his hands together, his expression indifferent.

"Not enough..."

Chen Yuan chuckled.

"Is that so?"

Xiang Qianqiu asked back.

"Yes."

"Don't worry, there's more..."

Xiang Qianqiu waved his hand, and a dark teleportation array instantly appeared behind him, condensed in the void, and figures quickly appeared.

Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the Medicine Guru Bodhisattva appeared one after another.

Buddhism!

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes. His idea... was correct!

He had suspected before that, with Xiang Qianqiu's strength, almost revealing everything to lure him out, what trump cards did he have to be so sure that he could leave him here?

He had thought that people from Mount Meru would intervene, and now it had indeed come true.

Because to create an overwhelming power against him, there must be a strong force to intervene. Buddhism was the best choice.

He had suspected this point before, because Mount Meru had put in a lot of effort to destroy the former Chu. If it were a normal person, they would definitely be hostile to Buddhism.

But for a person who achieves his goals by any means, it seems... it could be justified.

Fortunately, to be on the safe side, he had also made some preparations.

"Greetings, Benefactors."

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva smiled faintly.

Manjushri Bodhisattva stared at Chen Yuan and said:

"Benefactor Chen, we meet again!"

"Yes, the grievances between you and me should be properly settled this time."

Chen Yuan nodded with a calm expression.

"Good, this humble monk couldn't ask for more!"

"Hehehe... How can this seat be absent from such a lively scene? Manjushri, the last fight wasn't finished, this time, continue!"

In the eastern sky, a brilliant stream of light streaked across, and Ye Xiangnan's figure quickly condensed, and his majestic power quickly swept across the heaven and earth, forming its own side.

Last time, he defeated Manjushri, admitting defeat, but because of the intervention of the Buddha, he didn't leave the other party behind. This time... it was time to truly decide the victory or defeat.

"Ye Xiangnan!"

Xiang Qianqiu frowned, seemingly not expecting his appearance.

"Xiang Qianqiu, the Dengxian Tower ranked you first on the Heavenly Ranking. This seat has always wanted to find you to compete, but unfortunately you have been shrinking in Blood Prefecture, daring not to show your face.

This time, I finally caught you."

Ye Xiangnan laughed heartily.

"Caught me?"

Xiang Qianqiu snorted disdainfully, his eyes somewhat contemptuous.

"I was thinking of solving Martial Emperor City after killing Chen Yuan, but since you took the initiative to seek death, then you can't blame anyone. It just so happens to save this seat's effort."

"Arrogant and conceited, I hope your strength can be as good as your words."

Around Ye Xiangnan, the power of rules quickly condensed, turning into a rule domain.

"Is this your trump card?"

Xiang Qianqiu stared at Chen Yuan.

"Not enough?"

"Far from enough!"

Xiang Qianqiu shook his head, let out a long breath, seemingly feeling that the things he had planned for so long would end in a anticlimactic situation.

The strongest person in the field was no more than Moro, what could they use to resist the Buddhas in the Earth Immortal Realm?

"Then, reveal yours..." Chen Yuan flicked his finger.

Xiang Qianqiu turned his gaze to Manjushri and nodded slightly:

"Please let the Buddha show himself."

If it could be easily solved, he wouldn't be interested in such a big battle. He only needed to capture a seriously injured Chen Yuan to complete his years of planning.

"Good..."

Manjushri's gaze swept across the field, his eyes extremely indifferent. When he looked at Moro, there was still a hint of a smile, as if he was thinking that this time, he would finally be able to solve this heresy.

He put his hands together, faced the west, and said softly:

"Disciple respectfully invites the Buddha!"

The people around Chen Yuan, whether it was Jiang He, Lingxu Taoist, Zhao Danqing, or Celestial Void Taoist, all changed their faces. They were all aware of the terror of the Buddha.

Last time, it took three immortals to block the Buddha, this time... there was no such power.

But Chen Yuan's face remained calm.

"Disciple respectfully invites the Buddha..."

The other two Bodhisattvas also put their hands together and said.

But...

What was unexpected was that there was no change in the heaven and earth, as if... there was no backup.

"This king said, far from enough..."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

The expressions of Manjushri and others instantly converged, and they suddenly turned to Chen Yuan.

Xiang Qianqiu's expression also changed drastically for the first time since the beginning of the battle. This scene completely exceeded his plan!

"You already calculated that the Buddha would come?"

"I... am omnipotent. How about it, consider it, I will be the emperor, you will be the crown prince..." Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and re-proposed the previous proposal.

It's not a filler, it's just that the update is a little less, which seems to be slow. Tomorrow I will try to restore the state before the New Year, thank you all.
