Chapter 2887: The Fivefold Sea Appears Again?
The aura of the Colorful Garment God was too formidable. As he flew across the sky, the heaven and earth rules of the entire Xinghuantian, a world spanning hundreds of millions of miles, became chaotic. The setting sun was obscured by dark clouds, which pressed directly toward the ground. It was like doomsday had arrived, the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart.
The cultivators of Xinghuantian were all alarmed by this aura, looking up at the sky in panic.
"What terrifying might! It must be a Great God."
"Who could it be? White Empress?"
"It can't be from the Hell Realm or the Heavenly Court. For such a figure to come here would inevitably break the current balance and bring war and flames."
...
Whether they were gods, Saint realm cultivators, ordinary people, or birds and beasts, all fell into the terrifying shadow of the Great God's divine might. Countless billions of cultivators and humans knelt on the ground, kowtowing. Countless fierce beasts and strange birds lay prostrate, trembling in fear.
In an instant, the Colorful Garment God burst into the red-yellow Gobi desert. His divine body suddenly grew to eight thousand zhang tall, transforming into a towering giant. Without deliberately activating his divine qi, the divine qi emanating from him instantly spread for a thousand miles, covering the entire Gobi desert.
"Bang! Bang!"
The divine patterns that Yulongxian had left in the red-yellow Gobi desert ten thousand years ago snapped one after another, unable to withstand the power of the Colorful Garment God.
"Boom!"
The Colorful Garment God took a step forward, crushing the various spatial forces left by Master Fangcun into pieces. The folded space unfolded, turning a ten-mile area into a vast expanse of several thousand miles.
Even though Yulongxian and Master Fangcun had been powerful in their time, the true descent of a Great God still destroyed the measures they had set up with irresistible force. What was called a forbidden land was forbidden for Great Saints, but not necessarily for gods. What was forbidden for gods might be easily traversed by a Great God.
"The true body of the Colorful Garment God has arrived so quickly." Zhang Ruochen stood beneath the gate of the Yuchen Temple, gazing into the distance, his expression extremely grave.
Feeling the vast divine might of the Colorful Garment God, the Nether Flower Pavilion Master couldn't even breathe. She said, "The Colorful Garment God's cultivation is above the City Lord's. The Space Divine Array might not be able to stop him."
"The Yin-Yang Realm is a top-tier strong realm in the Heavenly Court. As its ruler, the Colorful Garment God's cultivation is naturally extraordinary."
Time was too short. The Nine Yin Escape Arrays had not been fully strengthened and restored to their original power. Zhang Ruochen didn't know if they could stop this ferocious god.
The Colorful Garment God's divine power seemed inexhaustible. Under his destruction, the original thousand-mile Gobi desert rapidly expanded in space, becoming over a hundred thousand miles wide. And it continued to extend.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen and the Nether Flower Pavilion Master felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
"He has detected us and locked onto our position." Zhang Ruochen said.
The Colorful Garment God flew straight toward the Yuchen Temple, roaring, "I have found you! Come out!"
His hand, several thousand meters long, shattered divine patterns one by one, crushed layer after layer of spatial barriers, crossed ten thousand miles, and appeared above the temple gate, pressing down.
The hand had not yet arrived, but Zhang Ruochen and the Nether Flower Pavilion Master already felt as if a hundred thousand divine mountains were pressing down on them. It became extremely difficult to maintain a standing posture.
"Aji!"
Zhang Ruochen called out, and his spiritual power continuously emanated from his body, surging into the Space Divine Array.
The first Space Divine Array manifested, transforming into a circular array disk a thousand miles in diameter, floating above the heads of Zhang Ruochen and the Nether Flower Pavilion Master. Then, the array disk of the second Space Divine Array emerged, completely connected to the first. The two arrays stacked, doubling their power.
"Old sir, let me help you!"
The Nether Flower Pavilion Master circulated the divine qi within her body, unfolding her Divine Realm World and merging it with the earth. From her Divine Realm World, a steady stream of divine qi surged into the Space Divine Array, causing it to operate at a faster speed.
The third, fourth... all nine Space Divine Arrays were fully displayed, one connected to another, interlocking and intertwining, forming nine different spatial wonders: Star Sea Divine Gate, Suspended Divine Hall, Space Black Hole, and so on.
"The Nine Yin Escape Arrays!"
The Colorful Garment God's attack failed to take effect, and he let out a furious snort. "If Master Fangcun were personally controlling this, I might be wary. But with just the two of you, how much of the Nine Yin Escape Arrays' power can you unleash?"
"Extinction Heavenly Flame!"
With a single step, the Colorful Garment God crossed ten thousand miles and appeared before the Yuchen Temple. He opened his mouth and spat out crimson divine flames.
The divine flames were extremely intense, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas. In an instant, they melted ten thousand miles of land, incinerated space, and revealed a vast, dark void. Space was directly burned into annihilation.
Only the area covered by the Nine Yin Escape Arrays and the ruins of the Yuchen Temple, protected by a mysterious power, could withstand the Extinction Heavenly Flame.
The Colorful Garment God cultivated the Way of Yin and Yang, mastering both to their peak, dominating the universe. The Extinction Heavenly Flame represented Yang, with temperatures reaching thirty million degrees. Even Great Gods with higher cultivation than him would find it difficult to cultivate such terrifying divine fire. And his divine body, capable of nurturing such high-temperature divine fire, showed how powerful he was.
"Uncle Master, this is bad! The Extinction Heavenly Flame specifically counters the Nine Yin Escape Arrays. The spatial array patterns are showing signs of melting. We might not be able to hold out much longer." Aji's tense voice reached Zhang Ruochen's ears.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes turned cold. "If we really can't hold on, we'll lure him underground."
Deep in the earth, there was a mysterious and unfathomable old corpse ghost, where even Yulongxian had fallen. No matter how strong the Colorful Garment God was, he might not be stronger than Yulongxian from a hundred thousand years ago.
"Rumble!"
In less than half an hour, the red-yellow Gobi desert, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, turned into a sea of fire. The ground melted, becoming magma. In this magma world spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, no living being could survive.
Some gods and Saint realm cultivators who had secretly entered the red-yellow Gobi desert to investigate had no time to escape and were refined to death by the Extinction Heavenly Flame, turning into ashes.
The divine fire ignited the Yuhong Mountain Range and spread toward the First Divine Maiden City, thousands of miles away. It only stopped at the city walls, blocked by the city-protecting grand formation.
The divine fire spread to the other side of the Yuhong Mountain Range, entering the sea, causing tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of miles of ocean to boil. Trillions of aquatic cultivators died, their corpses floating on the surface.
The cultivators in the First Divine Maiden City were in an uproar, all discussing what earth-shattering event had occurred. But no one dared to step out of the city-protecting grand formation to investigate.
"Is a Great God fighting? Has the war already reached Xinghuantian?"
"Once a Great God-level battle erupts within a realm, that world is not far from destruction."
"Not necessarily. Xinghuantian was arranged by the Xinghuan Heavenly Venerable. It's not so easy to destroy. But widespread suffering is inevitable."
In the Divine Maiden King Hall.
White Empress's voice was cold and heavy. "Is the Colorful Garment God insane? Attacking so recklessly, as if he's afraid the Hell Realm won't know he's in Xinghuantian? Once he attracts a Great God from the Hell Realm, does he know the consequences?"
The Black Heart Demon Lord also knew that the Colorful Garment God had been too reckless this time. "The Seven-Source Colorful Garment is a sub-god-level supreme sacred artifact, the number one treasure of the Yin-Yang Realm. It absolutely cannot be lost."
"If the Goddess Twelve Pavilions is destroyed in this divine war, it will do you no good."
Leaving these words, White Empress turned and left the Divine Maiden King Hall.
The Black Heart Demon Lord asked, "What do you think, Heavenly Grandson? Should I go and stop the Colorful Garment God?"
Shang Hong's eyes were cold and deep. "No need. Xinghuantian hides too many secrets, and White Empress and Bai Qinger are deeply calculating. The Colorful Garment God is powerful, so let him use his hand to draw out these secrets. With Fourth Uncle stationed in Xinghuantian, everything is under control."
...
Within the Nine Yin Escape Arrays, the spatial array inscriptions began to melt in large patches, creating holes. In the divine array, stars fell, divine halls collapsed, and the Extinction Heavenly Flame seeped in, landing around Zhang Ruochen and the Nether Flower Pavilion Master. The array structure was severely damaged.
The Nether Flower Pavilion Master's divine qi was heavily depleted, her face pale. Her internal injuries were also triggered, causing her delicate body to tremble. "The Colorful Garment God has probably reached the Taibai Realm!"
"Let's go! Retreat into the temple."
Zhang Ruochen grabbed her slender, jade-white wrist and rushed out of the Nine Yin Escape Arrays, entering the ruins of the Yuchen Temple.
The Nether Flower Pavilion Master noticed that his hand was not old or wrinkled. She turned her head and was shocked to find that the originally white-haired old man had become young and handsome, with jet-black hair, a jade-like face, and a divine bearing, exuding infinite sunshine and elegant male charm. Unconsciously, she was stunned.
The Nether Flower Pavilion Master was different from other gods. She did not cultivate in seclusion but through worldly experience. Because of this, she was familiar with almost all the new-generation proud sons of heaven. In an instant, she recognized Zhang Ruochen.
"So it's him!"
For a moment, her heart raced wildly, her mood strange and inexplicable, flustered and confused. She didn't even dare to look at Zhang Ruochen again. With her sixty thousand years of experience, she had encountered all sorts of bizarre things and shouldn't have reacted like this.
The sun completely disappeared at the edge of the sky, and Xinghuantian turned from day to night.
The Colorful Garment God naturally felt that the power of the Nine Yin Escape Arrays had greatly diminished. He was about to press the advantage and completely break the divine array.
Suddenly, a hair-raising aura came from above.
Looking up, he saw that the sky had completely turned blood-red. Layers of clouds converged into a vast sea of blood. The sky pressed down.
It wasn't just one layer of sky, one layer of sea. It was five.
Above the sea of blood were a sea of fire, a sea of thunder, a sea of death mist, and a sea of darkness. Five layers of heaven and five layers of sea pressed down simultaneously.
"The Fivefold Sea! How is this possible? Blood Jue, how can you be in Xinghuantian?" The Colorful Garment God screamed in terror and immediately tried to flee outside the Yuhong Mountain Range.
But he couldn't escape. The Fivefold Sea pressed down on him.
"Roar!"
The Colorful Garment God let out a long howl. His eight-thousand-zhang divine body erupted with light dozens of times brighter than a star. He raised his arms, manifesting a Divine Realm World of alternating Yin and Yang to resist the Fivefold Sea.
He only held on for three breaths before his Divine Realm World began to crack, and even his divine body showed cracks.
