517: The Gu King Ding is revived, and Yin Jiuli is frustrated.

Grand Priest Yin Jiuli, who was currently in a great battle with Celestial Sword Old Ancestor, saw Demon General Tian Kui being slain, and a hint of shock flashed in her heart. How could this young man's combat power be so Heaven-Defying?

"Kill!"

After Chu Jiang slew Demon General Tian Kui, he was in high spirits. His Thunderous Body erupted with lightning, and he stepped through the air, once again charging towards the Miao Territory Great Priest, Grand Priest Yin Jiuli.

Boom!

The Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist brought an overwhelming suppressive force, and the surging Qi and blood, boiling with passion, made Grand Priest Yin Jiuli's breathing falter.

"Damn it!"

Grand Priest Yin Jiuli looked again at War God Chi You, who was already completely suppressed by Snow Phoenix. With Demon General Tian Kui slain, it was three against two, and the situation had completely reversed.

"Cauldron, come!"

With an angry roar, bloodlines emerged from the Twelve Tribulation Staff in Grand Priest Yin Jiuli's hand, extending deep into the Miao Territory and disappearing.

Rumble!

A black cauldron, slumbering in an unknown place, suddenly erupted with countless terrifying imprints, as if a True God was awakening.

"The Gu King Cauldron has awakened!"

The Miao Territory trembled, and countless Cultivators looked up at the sky.

The Gu King Cauldron was the Miao Territory's clan-protecting Magic Treasure, controlled by successive Gu Kings. It was rumored to be the weapon of a True God, possessing extraordinary power.

It was precisely because of the Gu King Cauldron that the Miao Territory could stand undefeated.

"Crack!"

The Gu King Cauldron shook the Eight Desolations, tearing open a spatial rift and disappearing.

Everyone was astonished.

Wherever it passed, the Void Realm shattered with massive cracks, leaving terrifying marks that pierced through the Dian Prefecture and blasted towards the boundless battlefield. The mere aftershocks scattered Chu Jiang's Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist.

Grand Priest Yin Jiuli's face was pale. The Gu King Cauldron was a semi-Divine Artifact, a Divine Artifact that only a Reaching Heaven Realm powerhouse could truly wield. Using it even once was a massive drain on her.

Coupled with the rejection of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this world, her Lifespan was accelerating its consumption, and her Qi and blood were evaporating. Just summoning it cost her a hundred years of Lifespan.

The Gu King Cauldron did not fall into Grand Priest Yin Jiuli's hands; instead, it flew towards Gu King Chi You.

With her current Qi and blood, she simply could not sustain the consumption of the Gu King Cauldron.

War God Chi You, possessing the Gu King Cauldron, seemed like a different person, with invincible Divine Might, unleashing overwhelming power.

He directly sent Snow Phoenix flying.

"Do you really think you can turn the tide with the Gu King Cauldron?"

Celestial Sword Old Ancestor roared. Today's battle was to completely eradicate the Miao Territory Elder Council, so how could they be unprepared?

As everyone watched in astonishment,

the sky suddenly split open with a dark rift, and a terrifying scarlet blood blade, wrapped in a purple lightning surge, tore through the sky, breaking the restraints of the Nine Prison Town Empty Grand Formation, and charged forth.

Its blade light illuminated the Nine Heavens.

Its Divine Might shook the Eight Desolations, enough to crush mountains ten thousand zhang high.

This was—the God Slaying Blade!

Chu Jiang's pupils constricted. This was the Demon Suppression Division's God Slaying Blade.

A damaged True Divine Artifact.

When the God Slaying Blade appeared, everyone present was stunned, trembling all over. Its terrifying Divine Might was even stronger than the Gu King Cauldron that had just appeared.

"This aura... it's a Divine Artifact!"

"Great Chu was too well-prepared! They even borrowed the Demon Suppression Division's most prized possession. This is a complete annihilation!"

Sounds of horrified shock echoed through Heaven and Earth.

For super forces like the Ten Righteous Sects, Ten Demonic Sects, and Eight Great Families, a semi-Divine Artifact was an unparalleled heritage, and some didn't even possess one.

This was a strategic nuclear weapon, possessing immense deterrent power.

This was why the imperial court and those major forces maintained a delicate balance.

Now, two appeared at once.

"They're crazy, crazy! Are they trying to sink Dian Prefecture?"

"Not necessarily. If a Reaching Heaven Realm powerhouse wields a semi-Divine Artifact, there's a certain possibility of sinking it. Although a Rongtian Stage Cultivator can barely activate it, they are far from being able to unleash its full power."

An experienced old Cultivator analyzed.

However, the killing range, covering hundreds or even thousands of miles, was still present.

In fact, let alone a semi-Divine Artifact, even a top-grade Magic Treasure requires a Heavenly Mandate Realm Cultivator to fully unleash its power.

After all,

anything tainted with 'divine' was not simple.

Above the Nine Heavens, the battle erupted again.

The clash between Divine Artifacts shattered large sections of the Void Realm, creating countless spatial storms and energy vortices.

Celestial Sword Old Ancestor, wielding the God Slaying Blade, joined Snow Phoenix in striking War God Chi You. The God Slaying Blade was originally a True Divine Artifact, a grade higher than the Gu King Cauldron. Even in its damaged state, it was enough to suppress an ordinary semi-Divine Artifact.

"Damn it!"

Grand Priest Yin Jiuli cursed. Celestial Sword Old Ancestor wielded the God Slaying Blade to assist Snow Phoenix, while she had to face the monster that was Chu Jiang.

Just a few punches made her Qi and blood churn, and her face turned ashen.

If this continued, she would also follow in Demon General Tian Kui's footsteps.

Once Chu Jiang unleashed the Hand of the Heavens again, she would have no chance of resisting.

Although that move was extremely draining, Chu Jiang might not be able to deliver a second strike in a short period.

But she dared not gamble, nor could she.

The turn of events was completely unexpected for her.

Snow Phoenix's appearance, Chu Jiang's abnormal combat power, and the Demon Suppression Division's God Slaying Blade—every step was beyond her expectations.

Logically speaking, these high-end combat forces should only appear after her Miao Territory War God had fully formed.

Why wasn't anything going according to her plan?

"Fortunately, I made the worst-case preparations in advance. Now they'll come in handy!"

Grand Priest Yin Jiuli's eyes were cold as she looked at the ground, at the many high-level powerhouses of the Elder Council who were battling Great Chu.

"For the great cause of the Miao Territory, I can only temporarily sacrifice you all. Don't blame me..."
