Bang!
The collision between the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and the rainbow glass gourd produced a mysterious rumble that rang in the ears of countless beings in Cangxuan Heaven.
It felt as if time and space had frozen.
However, many people quickly came to their senses and shifted their gazes to patriarch Cang Xuan and found that the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and the rainbow glass gourd in patriarch Cangxuan’s hand had disappeared.
“That…” Sect master Qing Yang and other top experts exchanged puzzled glances with one another.
But palace master Sheng Yuan furrowed his brows in a frown. Sect master Qing Yang and the others weren’t strong enough to notice the subtle changes in the world, but he, who was at the Saint stage, naturally detected a strange movement.
That strange movement made his heart palpitate.
“Vanished?” Of course, palace master Sheng Yuan wouldn’t think patriarch Cang Xuan would lose the Saint Stamp. On the contrary, he felt very uneasy after seeing patriarch Cang Xuan’s move.
Although the current patriarch Cang Xuan was just a remnant clone, what he previously said was right. Zhou Yuan was only barely able to activate the Cangxuan Saint Stamp by borrowing the power of patriarch Cang Xuan’s clone in the battle more than ten years ago, but it was different this time.
Although Zhou Yuan hadn’t reached the Saint stage, he possessed power close to that of the semi-Saint stage. Now, with the Cangxuan Saint Stamp, patriarch Cang Xuan’s clone as well as Zhou Yuan’s power as support, their combined power shouldn’t be underestimated.
Sheng Yuan scanned all directions with his razor-sharp eyes, and vaguely sensed something wrong.
Boom!
With a wave of his sleeve, mighty Saint power rushed across the sky like a starry river. Within that Saint power seemed to be mountains, hills and rivers, as if it contained its own world.
Rumble!
However, the Saint force didn’t sweep over a huge distance before it exploded in the air. Faint rays of light suddenly emerged in the air like a thin barrier invisible to the naked eye to block and dissolve the Saint power.
Sheng Yuan slammed his feet with a dark expression, and several gushes of Saint power sped out from him. However, all were quickly stopped by the invisible barrier.
Tiny ripples bloomed in the air.
The silhouette of those ripples resembled a giant gourd.
Palace master Sheng Yuan naturally sensed the change. He flung his sleeve, distorted space and attempted to flee, but he soon found the surrounding space was blocked by an invisible force that even he, who possessed Saint-level strength, couldn’t penetrate through the barrier.
In other words, he was trapped.
“Cang Xuan, you’re indeed strong.” Sheng Yuan uttered coldly. Sheng Yuan had broke through to the Saint stage and was considered invincible within Cangxuan Heaven, but even so, he still lost to patriarch Cang Xuan.
Even if that old man is dead, he still keeps pestering me.
“But what can you do even if you trap me here? You’re just a clone, and you will quickly dissipate once you show up. I can just wait til you disappear and this trap will crumple without me doing anything.” As his voice faded, a Saint lotus emerged beneath his feet, expanding with the wind and rapidly grew into a tremendous Saint lotus throne.
Sheng Yuan seated himself on the Saint lotus throne while it emitted boundless divine light to protect him.
Palace master Sheng Yuan evidently planned to counter the changing situation with changelessness. This showed he had absolute confidence in his Saint-level strength.
Zhou Yuan peered at palace master Sheng Yuan sitting on the Saint lotus. He felt no evil or law could penetrate Sheng Yuan, and not even his thousands of arts couldn’t wound him in the slightest.
“Patriarch, I don’t think ordinary means has any effect on him,” said Zhou Yuan.
Patriarch Cang Xuan smiled. “You should have a little confidence in me. It’s just the Saint Lotus Immortal realm. If you haven't cultivated the glass gourd, I might not be able to do anything to him, but you didn’t disappoint me. I’ll show you my truly last trick and let you know what kind of power a Heaven Master possesses when he is in his heaven.”
With a smile, patriarch Cang Xuan folded his hands in a seal, his fingertips, like mountains, slowly folded together
As he brought his palms together, the space in the outside world where Sheng Yuan was located suddenly rippled and a huge gourd shadow emerged.
The gourd shadow exuded an ancient aura as if formed since the beginning of time.
Furthermore, Zhou Yuan sensed waves of energy within the ancient gourd shadow similar to the Cangxuan Saint Stamp and the rainbow glass gourd. There was clearly a special connection between them.
Inside the Saint lotus, Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes vigilantly.
“This art is what I mastered when I controlled Cangxuan Heaven's authority power. Once this art is performed, it will be difficult for even Saints to survive.” Patriarch Cang Xuan explained to Zhou Yuan. I call this art the Primal Chaos Saint Refining Gourd!”
As his voice faded, four rings of light surrounded the gourd.
Among the four rings, one was an azure color and seemed to be constantly producing roaring wind. It wasn’t ordinary wind, but the source of wind.
“This is the Wind Ring.”
There was another ring that was earth-yellow and seemed boundlessly heavy and thick.
“This is called the Earth Ring.”
Inside the blue ring were endless running streams full of vitality.
“This is called the Water Ring.”
Flames blazed berserkly on the crimson-red ring, and seemed capable of incinerating the world.
“This is called the Fire Ring.”
The four ancient rings contained powers that were born when the primal chaos first opened. They quietly floated in the air, but their appearance not only made Sheng Yuan’s expression dramatically change, even the experts of all-heavens looked moved.
“Little boy Zhou Yuan, this is my last means. You have to watch it carefully.” Patriarch Cang Xuan laughed heartily, his voice echoing in every corner of Cangxuan Heaven.
“Ground, wind, water and fire, repeat the primal chaos!”
Swoosh!
With a slight flicker, the four rings of light appeared in all four directions around Sheng Yuan, blocking all his sides. Then, ancient powers suddenly burst forth from them.
Those powers, closest to the source of the world, were even more profound and mysterious than Saint power.
When the four powers came into contact with one another, many Saints watching could even sense the emptiness and darkness of when primal chaos first opened.
Sheng Yuan’s face dramatically changed, his eyes wide with deep fear and disbelief. He found his Saint lotus throne was beginning to melt away under the force of the earth, wind, water and fire power.
