Chapter 1053 The Celestial Venerable's Hidden Move
Both the Carefree Celestial Venerable and the Dark Horned Divine Venerable were at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation, differing only in the timing of their attainment of Dao.

Once one's cultivation reaches this level, it becomes extremely difficult to distinguish between life and death. The Mahayana stage is simply too powerful, and the life-saving techniques they possess far exceed the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, in a one-on-one situation, at most one side will have the upper hand.

However, the Dark Horn God Venerable's purpose was very clear: he only wanted to delay the Carefree Heavenly Venerable and prevent him from refining the Chaos Treasure. That was enough.

If the Chaos Treasure is truly forged, it could very well disrupt the existing power structure of the ten strongest clans. This is the most powerful treasure in the world, and for it to be in the hands of a Mahayana cultivator would be a terrifying prospect.

The sky cracked open, and the dome of the Burning Flame Ancient Realm was like a funnel, with broken spatial rifts visible everywhere, and dense gales blowing in from the void.

"Xiaoyao, sometimes I admire your courage, that you actually dared to refine a Chaos Treasure."

"It is said that a late-stage Mahayana ancestor of the Three-Eyed Sacred Clan once tried it, but failed and was severely injured. He died in his own great tribulation before he could even recover his vital energy."

"I came here today with good intentions to stop you. You have only been a Daoist for a few years and are at the peak of your cultivation. Why take such a dangerous risk?"

The Underworld God extended his two claws horizontally, riding the surrounding gale, and blasted them towards the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.

The latter unleashed a spiritual shield that was both offensive and defensive. Anyone familiar with the Heavenly Treasure Ranking would surely exclaim in surprise upon seeing it.

This is a treasure ranked twenty-first on the Tongtian Lingbao List, named the Five Elements Mystic Light Shield. This shield is infused with the laws of the five elements and cleverly utilizes the mutual restraint of the five elements. Any Taoist attack of the five elements will be neutralized by this five-colored shield.

hum!
The Five Elements Mystic Light Shield emitted five-colored precious light, completely resisting the endless celestial gales.

The Carefree Celestial Venerable continued to activate the Five Elements Mystic Light Shield, unleashing the power of the Five Elements Laws simultaneously, instantly sealing off the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth and suppressing the Netherworld Horned Divine Venerable.

A powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage unleashed the full power of a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, whose might even affected the Five Elements Laws that form the foundation of this realm.

However, even such a terrifying and unparalleled offensive could not harm the Nether Horn God. He did not cultivate the Five Elements Dao, but rather the supreme divine art inherited by the Ghost Horn Clan, which was not within the Five Elements.

His ten sharp claws were interlocked, and his already enormous body swelled even more, with his ghostly aura becoming much denser.

"Slaying Spirit Demon Seal!"

In an instant, the Nether Horn God Venerable unleashed an extremely evil and malevolent magic seal, using the supreme divine power inherited from the Ghost Horn Clan to break through the suppression of the Five Elements Profound Light Shield of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.

Just as he was preparing to continue entangled with the Carefree Celestial Venerable with minimal cost, a cold, sharp voice rang out:

“Fellow Daoist Mingjiao, I remember you secretly caused me a lot of trouble back in the Lingxiao Domain. It’s only been years since I realized it. Today, I’ll settle both old and new scores.”

Upon hearing this, the Underworld God showed a strange expression. He hadn't expected that the Supreme Celestial Venerable would abandon refining the treasure below and come to cause him trouble.

Could it be that the treasure failed to be forged, so they simply gave up and turned to cause trouble for him instead?

No, if a Chaos Treasure fails to be refined, its power and impact will be terrifying, and the entire Burning Flame Ancient Realm will sense it.

This Taiyuan Celestial Venerable must have used some kind of secret technique to temporarily seal the Chaos Treasure that was not yet fully formed; otherwise, he would never have been able to leave so easily.

The Underworld God was somewhat unsure of what to do. Facing two human Heavenly Venerables, he naturally dared not be arrogant.

"Old ghost Taiyuan, you're so old and still so petty. Be careful that you don't die in the Great Heavenly Tribulation one day and die with your eyes open in disgrace."

As he spoke, the Netherworld God Venerable tried to dodge, but the world of this realm was temporarily imprisoned by the Supreme Celestial Venerable, blocking his path.

The two Celestial Venerables were clearly not fighting side by side for the first time. They had a great understanding. Celestial Venerable Taiyuan was in charge of defense, while Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao was in charge of offense, providing support so that he could launch a full-scale offensive with peace of mind.

Taiyuan Tianzun said, word by word, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Mingjiao. Although my old bones are about to be buried, I should still be able to die after you."

"For example, today's incident is your destined death."

With two against one, the two human celestial beings held a considerable advantage, and it was quite possible that they could actually leave this Mahayana ancestor of the Ghost Horn Clan here today.

"Hmph, you two are far from enough to kill me!" The Netherworld Horn God Venerable snorted coldly, forcefully withstanding the pressure from the two Mahayana stage Heavenly Venerables.

The Carefree Celestial Venerable remained silent, launching a full-scale attack on the Dark Horn Divine Venerable. His killing intent was resolute, and he unleashed three Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures in one go, including the Five Elements Profound Light Shield, all of which were used to suppress the Dark Horn Divine Venerable.

The three divine treasures attacked in a triangular formation, their powerful light illuminating almost the entire sky.

The Underworld God Venerable unleashed a variety of divine techniques passed down within his clan, and he even used several True Spirit Treasure Techniques to barely withstand the attack of the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.

He was now at a complete disadvantage, only able to passively endure the pressure from the two Celestial Venerables, without even a chance to fight back.

"Old ghost Mingjiao, you are destined to perish today. No matter how skillfully you manipulate the laws of the moon, it will be useless. This world is unique in that it has no moon. How much of your strength can you unleash?" Taiyuan Heavenly Venerable roared coldly, his voice shaking the entire Burning Flame Ancient World.

The Oni Horned Clan has always worshipped the moon. This clan can strengthen themselves by using moonlight, so almost all of them practice the laws of the moon.

The moon, also known as Taiyin, is the most yang and intense realm in the Burning Flame Ancient Realm. In this realm, where myriad fires scorch the world, the moon simply does not exist.

The Ghost Horn Clan's combat power in this realm is not strong, and their extremely soft and yin Taoist magic and supernatural powers are quite limited.

The Dark Horn God felt a desire to retreat. He flapped his bat wings and forcibly used a secret technique passed down within his clan to summon a full moon, shaped like a disc, that appeared in the sky.

At this moment, the sky above the Burning Flame Ancient Realm became extremely strange, with the sun and moon appearing to be in the sky.

Behind that full moon, a ferocious figure emerged. Bathed in moonlight, the form of the Underworld God had undergone an evolution, and his aura had increased significantly.

"Let's use the laws of nature together to completely suppress and kill him," the Carefree Celestial Venerable shouted in a deep voice.

The opponent has already used the Law of the Moon. To hold back any longer would be extremely unwise. We must use overwhelming force to kill him on the spot.

But in the next instant, the sky was torn apart again, and a void rift appeared.

Immediately afterwards, another powerful aura surged forth!

In this realm, a fourth Mahayana stage expert has arrived. Soon, dense gray fur fell from the sky like raindrops, and a figure exuding an aura of decay and age stepped out from the crack.

This is an old man, a very old man, whose body is withered and whose face is aged, and it is clear at a glance that he does not have much time left.

Even so, the ten powerful claws on his hands and the sharp fangs protruding from his mouth revealed his identity as a member of the Beast Fang Clan!

The Beast Fang Clan, enemies of the human race!
The Dark Horn God, who was originally preparing to escape through the void, immediately abandoned the idea. He was currently in his strongest state, which was achieved by burning his essence blood and using the clan's inherited secret technique at a certain cost. Naturally, he was unwilling to leave in such a humiliating manner.

"Old Monster Cangya, you've come at the right time. Help me hold off that old ghost Taiyuan, and I'll kill Xiaoyao right now."

The situation took a sharp turn, changing from two against one to two against two.

With the two strongest human warriors here, victory is virtually impossible. At best, they can only hold off these two Mahayana ancestors from other races.

However, if this drags on for too long, the Chaos Xuanhuang Tower that is being refined below will probably not be able to be saved. Without the Heavenly Venerable maintaining it, even if Li Qing comprehends the Chaos Law, it will be difficult for him to maintain this state for long.

The five weapon refiners from the Refining Heaven Pavilion below all changed their expressions drastically, as they had also heard the joyful roar of the Underworld Horn God.

"Elder Wuji, how are you now? Are you still able to maintain the fusion between the Xuanhuang Tower and the Chaos Origin?" the Refining Heaven Pavilion Master asked with concern.

Li Qing's expression remained tense, not daring to relax even a little. This was the refining of a Chaos Treasure, and no matter how exquisite his weapon-refining skills were, it would be extremely difficult to maintain this state for long.

"This is not good. Maintaining the Chaos Origin from overflowing from the Xuanhuang Tower with the laws is secondary. I feel that the Chaos Origin seems to be acting strangely now. It's like a ferocious tiger that's ready to devour anyone it wants."

"It craves the sacrifice of living beings, as if it wants to assimilate me into it as well. I don't know what secret technique the Celestial Venerable used, it is so demonic and evil, it is not like ordinary chaotic power at all."

Now Li Qing only hopes that the battle in the sky can end as soon as possible, otherwise he really will just leave without a care.

However, judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for this peak battle of the Mahayana stage to end in a short period of time. The situation is truly changing rapidly!

Although the trend of the Xuanhuang Pagoda merging with the Chaos Origin is still continuing, the speed has slowed down considerably. If this continues, it will be difficult to succeed in refining the Chaos Treasure this time.

All five of them, including Li Qing, looked somber, as if they were making a futile effort.

It's a bit too much to try to lead the refining of a Chaos Treasure without reaching the Mahayana stage of cultivation.

"I wonder what the two Celestial Venerables' backup plan is. I didn't expect that the old Cangya Ancestor of the Beast Fang Clan, who is about to die, to also descend. This is really troublesome." Li Qing prayed in his heart, hoping that the Celestial Venerables' backup plan would take effect as soon as possible.

Even if he had damaged his vital energy and was about to pass away, he was still a genuine Mahayana stage expert!

Above the sky, four powerful figures stood at four corners in the void, facing each other in pairs.

Among them, the aura of the Underworld God was the most intense and terrifying. The full moon surrounding him made it seem as if he could sweep away all his enemies.

The one who couldn't resist making a move first was still the Underworld God. His figure flew out from the full moon, his bat wings covering the sky, and he charged towards the Carefree Heavenly Venerable.

It was at this critical moment that the other three Mahayana stage experts also made their move.

boom!
Terrifying laws and forces intertwined in the dome, and the fluctuations in spiritual energy almost completely disrupted the spiritual energy of this world.

Below, in the sea of ​​fire, several Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Refining Heaven Pavilion showed expressions of extreme shock, their faces almost numb.

"The four Mahayana stage experts have all gone all out. They've used the power of the laws, their trump cards. What will be the outcome?" Elder Xingluo muttered to himself, his chest heaving.

If the Celestial Venerable is defeated, then the human race will fall into its darkest period, and none of them will be able to escape. Their fate will be extremely tragic. The best outcome will be that they will be captured and enslaved, imprisoned for life to forge weapons for foreign races.

They tried to sense the outcome of the battle on the dome, but due to the chaotic interweaving of various laws and forces, they could not detect anything.

Before long, a shrill scream echoed out.

"Uh-huh~!"

"Cangya, you deserve to die."

Soon, the chaotic forces of law gradually dissipated, revealing a terrifying scene in the sky.

The enormous figure with bat wings and demon horns on its back was attacked by three other Mahayana stage experts. Its body was torn to pieces, and its bat wings were almost ripped off from its back.

"Why did you betray my clan?" The aura of the Dark Horn God Venerable suddenly weakened to the extreme. No matter how powerful he was, he could not possibly win when he was attacked by three equally powerful beings at the same time.

The carefree Celestial Venerable did not give him a way out; he expressionlessly sealed off all his escape routes.

Of course, surrounded by three Mahayana stage experts, the heavily injured Netherhorn God Venerable would have no chance of survival.

"We have already reached an agreement with the Beast Fang Clan. Rather than the two clans fighting to the death and ending up with both sides suffering heavy losses, it would be better to join forces and bring down the Ghost Horn Clan."

"So what you said before about the Beast Fang Clan cooperating with your Ghost Horn Clan's powerful warriors to launch a large-scale attack on the human race was just an act."

"You're not very lucky. The Burning Flame Ancient Realm is a deadly trap. Because the refining of a Chaos Treasure requires a Mahayana stage physical body and soul as a sacrifice, which can accelerate the formation of the Chaos Treasure."

“Fellow Daoist Mingjiao, if you hadn’t come here, we would have been able to refine the Chaos Treasure peacefully, it would have just taken a little longer.”

“In that case, your Ghost Horn Clan will still be wiped out.”

The Carefree Celestial Venerable explained in a few words, and then with thunderous force, he directly refined the physical body and soul of the Underworld Horned God Venerable into a small, pitch-black ball.

After doing all this, he took the black sphere that the Underworld God had transformed into and flew down to the treasure-refining ground.

The endless sea of ​​fire was instantly split apart, and the expressions on the faces of Li Qing and the others hidden within were incredibly fascinating.

"Hehe, thank you all for your hard work this time. I'll leave this to you." The Carefree Celestial Venerable chuckled.
