Chapter 426: Profound Sky: You Know Nothing of Zhou Tong!
“Heaven and Earth, I Alone Hold Supremacy!”
Zhou Tong’s voice resonated through the heavens and earth. Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, he unceremoniously brought down his giant sword!
“Dharmakaya’s Formative Power, Holy Sword!”
All that the onlookers saw was a black light cascading down, directly cleaving the sky, moving at an unbelievable speed, and nothing could obstruct it!
This sword directly struck from the center of the Profound Sky Hall to its northern peak. Before Netherworld Master could escape, he was caught up by the sword light!
In an instant, blood erupted, and the defenses of the Advanced Sage seemed utterly inadequate in the face of it.
A piercing scream echoed as he was cleaved in two at the waist, finally driven into the earth by the sword’s edge, vanishing without a trace, his life uncertain!
What was even more exaggerated was that when the giant sword landed, it split the layout of the Profound Sky Hall in two, like a large pancake cut apart, filled with a sense of division.
The crowd stood in silence, feeling their hearts race as if they might explode, their blood boiling and surging, nearly breaking through the crown of their skulls.
Such a scene was a once-in-a-thousand-years occurrence!
A youth who had not yet reached the Saint Realm had actually defeated an Advanced Sage in direct confrontation.
It felt as if they were dreaming.
Could it be that he was truly possessed by someone? There couldn’t be any other explanation!
“I bet my life that this is definitely not his own power; there must be a higher master assisting him in the shadows!” someone voiced their theory.
Once this statement was made, it immediately garnered agreement.
“Who?”
“Need I say? Apart from the Law Master, there shouldn’t be anyone else!”
“Shh… Speak quietly, are you looking for death?”
“I don’t think it’s the Law Master. The opponent must be a strongman who masters Dharmakaya’s Formative Power, likely a Peak Sage we have never seen before!”
“Exactly, that explains everything.”
The crowd exchanged words, trying to rationalize Zhou Tong’s outrageous actions.
But only a few, like Profound Song, knew the truth—there was absolutely no strong expert aiding Zhou Tong; he himself was the most formidable monster!
However, she had no interest in clarifying that. Only by facing Zhou Tong directly could one experience that sense of helpless despair.
Among the many strong individuals present, most of their juniors would participate in the upcoming Hundred Sects Convention.
Needless to say, they too would cheer for their juniors, asserting that Zhou Tong was nothing special, and in the environment of the Hundred Sects Convention, where one could not rely on external help, he was not invincible.
At that time, the real show would begin!
Currently, Zhou Tong could defeat an Advanced Sage, and if he were to break through again before the convention, it was chilling to think about.
A being nearly at the pinnacle of this world actually had to compete with those young prodigies; it was absurd!
At this thought, Profound Song felt pity for those so-called prodigies.
It was unimaginable that those rare geniuses appearing once in a thousand or even ten thousand years, filled with ambition, bearing the heavy expectations of their families, would step onto the battlefield of the Hundred Sects Convention, just as they were preparing to make a name for themselves, and then they would encounter Zhou Tong…
In fact, Profound Song should have been the prodigy of this Hundred Sects Convention; her strength comparable to an Intermediate Sage could easily sweep away her peers without pressure.
But it was precisely at this moment that she encountered Zhou Tong, and she too had gone from being a prodigy to being a fish—just the largest fish!
“Assistance from a higher being! Who exactly dares to oppose our Profound Sky Hall? If you’re going to do it, then stand up and face us boldly!”
On the Ascension Platform, Jade Linglong and the others believed this theory and couldn’t help but shout out.
It could only be said they were engaging in a battle of wits with the air; such a powerful presence simply did not exist.
“Foolish!”
Zhou Tong couldn’t help but laugh; surprisingly, he did not pursue Netherworld Master to deliver a final blow but stepped forward, charging into the sky.
“What does he want to do?”
Someone became alert.
“Could it be that he’s eager to escape after having been discovered?”
“No, he’s clearly going to pursue those who intercepted the Sacred Forbidden Weapons!”
Someone finally caught on, unable to suppress their cold sweat.
This was going to annihilate the Profound Sky Hall!
…
High above, three hundred miles away from the Profound Sky Hall, all the Sage-level experts were focused and prepared to receive the impending attack.
Because of this, they were oblivious to the Heavenly Dao Image behind them, not knowing what had transpired in that short span of time.
“Report to Nether Yin Master, everything is ready. In about ten breaths, the Sacred Forbidden Weapons will be arriving!”
“Very good. This time we deploy all our strength, having set up comprehensive defensive measures; intercepting those Sacred Forbidden Weapons will not be difficult!”
“Exactly, I wonder how things are going on Netherworld Master’s side?”
“Need I say more?”
Prison Lord chuckled: “You know nothing about Advanced Sages. Even if that brat has the strength of an Intermediate Sage, under Netherworld Master’s full-force attack, he absolutely cannot last twenty breaths!”
“He must have been taken down. After we block this round of attacks, we can deal with him properly!”
“Hahaha… that’s how it should be! I’ve long been displeased with that kid, putting on a grand show as if everything is under his control, thinking no one can deal with him!”
“I can’t wait to see the look of fear on his face as he cries and begs for mercy!”
On the Ascension Platform, everyone heard these discussions and couldn’t help but feel pity for them.
Jade Linglong had wanted to alert them, but these people had long pushed their spiritual powers to the limit, blocking out the outside world completely, unable to hear any of her suggestions!
“Spirit Seal 91, Thousand-Hand Brilliant Celestial Cannon!”
Just then, a dazzling light rushed in from the distance, transforming into a thousand giant hands, heavily crashing into the weak point of the defensive formation!
“Poof!!”
In an instant, all the strong individuals within the formation felt their blood boiling, some even spitting out blood, their faces filled with horror.
They couldn’t comprehend why an attack was coming from behind!
“Who dares to sneak attack?!”
In the blink of an eye, they turned around and saw a youth standing several zhang away, showing them a harmless smile.
“Has it been several dozen seconds? I think you were worried.”
Zhou Tong smiled as he spoke.
“Impossible! Where is Netherworld Master?” Nether Yin Master trembled as he asked.
“Eliminated! Otherwise, how would I be here?”
“Nonsense! You know nothing about Advanced Sages!”
“You’re mistaken; it’s you who know nothing about me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong sent out another spirit talisman.
“Spirit Seal 96, Cruel Sun!”
“Boom!!”
The massive explosion swept through the defensive formation, rendering dozens of Sages unable to retaliate; otherwise, the formation would collapse, leading some to be directly thrown out, grievously injured, spewing blood, causing the formation to become chaotic.
“There are five breaths left; the Sacred Forbidden Weapons are coming!”
Some of them felt despair, their faces pale, nearly collapsing.
“Hold on! I’ll stall this brat!”
Nether Yin Master gritted his teeth and saw that he left behind a clone to take his place, then broke away from the formation to face Zhou Tong directly.
“In the time to come, you won’t cause any more disturbances!”
“So confident? Are you stronger than Netherworld Master? I don’t see it!”
“Hmph, I don’t know what means you’ve used, but in front of me, you won’t be able to play tricks!”
As he spoke, Nether Yin Master directly manifested his Dharmakaya and employed his trump card.
“Domain Dharmakaya, Conjugate Domain!”
A radiance emanated from him, enveloping Zhou Tong along with himself.
In an instant, both of their auras were suppressed to extremely low levels, even dropping below that of a Semi-Sage!
“My word, there’s actually such a domain; it’s truly remarkable!”
Zhou Tong couldn’t help but exclaim. In this domain, everyone’s strength would be suppressed to the same level as the domain master, achieving perfect equality in strength.
This was undoubtedly the strongest trump card in a team battle!
“As long as I proactively lower my aura, you won’t be able to launch any proper attacks. Once we block those Sacred Forbidden Weapons, your time of death will come!”
“So terrifying! Then I’m preparing to take a different path!”
Zhou Tong revealed a sinister smile that made the opponent’s heart skip a beat.
“What do you want to do?”
Zhou Tong did not respond but stepped into the void, solidifying that portion of space.
Then he opened his spatial ring, pulling out a launching device and a pitch-black Sacred Forbidden Weapon!
Seeing this scene, Nether Yin Master’s expression instantly crumbled.
“Let me present you with a simple math problem…”
Zhou Tong said: “Given that the Sacred Forbidden Weapon in the distance is one hundred fifty miles away and takes three seconds to arrive, how long do you think the one in my hand, only ten zhang away from you, will take to hit its target?”
