"Could it be…?"
Jun Xiaoyao's expression held a hint of excitement.
The surge from his Bloodline seemed to contain a vibrant power.
It was like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes held a glimmer of conviction.
This upheaval and great calamity were indeed a test for the Jun Family.
But…
It would absolutely not lead to their destruction!
However, the current situation required them to weather the immediate storm.
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit's aura was too powerful; a near-Divine Rank existence was almost no different from a true God.
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit's gaze calmly fell upon Jun Lingxiao.
"You… are no match for me."
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit's tone was indifferent, as if stating a simple fact.
"Whether I am a match or not, we'll only know after we fight."
Jun Lingxiao ran a hand over the Azure Profound Ancient Sword.
He, the Second Ancestor of the Jun Family, known as the Lingxiao Sword Ancestor, was once an existence whose sword suppressed an entire era.
His heroic spirit shook the heavens.
He would naturally not show weakness to the Ancestor of the Holy Spirit!
Whoosh!
Sword light illuminated the sky, leaping across the Vast Expanse, as if to shatter the Void Realm for a hundred thousand miles.
Jun Lingxiao made his move, a single sword strike aimed at the Ancestor of the Holy Spirit.
And the battlefield fully opened.
With the Ancestor of the Holy Spirit leading the charge.
The other Forbidden Zone powerhouses, the Two Sages of Immortals and Demons, the Four Ferocious Emperors of the Beast Cave, the Dark Holy Spirit, and the Stone Emperor and others also made their moves.
On this side, the Mother of the Other Shore Flower, Emperor Taihuang of the Jun Family, and other Jun Family Great Emperors, as well as the God-Demon Old Man, the God Turtle King, and others, also stepped forward to resist.
However, compared to before, the Jun Family side was now clearly at a disadvantage.
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit seemed to possess an inherently invincible aura, suppressing the entire field.
The strength of the Jun Family's powerhouses was greatly suppressed.
"If not for our Jun family's supreme powerhouses being absent, how could you, Ancestor of the Holy Spirit, have the right to be so presumptuous!"
Emperor Taihuang of the Jun Family, Jun Shenyu, the Great Emperor, and others all had cold expressions.
The true magnates of the Jun family were not in the Immortal Domain.
Not to mention the three most ancient members of the Immortal Domain Jun Family: Jun Yuanshi, Jun Tongtian, and Jun Taishang.
Nor the strongest Abandoned Heaven Great Emperor, Jun Qitian of the Jun Family in recent times.
Even the First Ancestor of the Jun Family was not present.
To take it a step further, even the White-Robed Divine King Jun Wuhui had not yet returned.
It could be said that the Jun Family was truly in its most incomplete state, fighting against the entire Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone.
Such courage was unparalleled.
But the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone wouldn't care if the Jun Family was in a complete state or not.
Right now, they wanted to make a move on the Jun Family, to make them the most bountiful sacrifice.
Of course, if the Jun Family were in its complete state, the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone wouldn't have dared to make a move at all.
Even if the five Chief Priests appeared simultaneously, it would be useless; they wouldn't be able to shake the Jun Family's Foundation in the slightest.
It was only when the Jun Family's main base was empty that they dared to launch a sneak attack.
And the current situation was indeed unfavorable for the Jun Family.
The countless living beings of the Xuantian Immortal Domain and the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain, the two great Immortal Domains, were all trembling, filled with fear.
They prayed in their hearts, hoping the Jun Family could hold on.
"You must hold on! If even the Jun Family fails, then truly no one will be able to stop the Nine Heavens Forbidden Zone anymore…"
"At the most critical juncture of the Immortal Domain, only the Jun Family is willing to step forward. Even if the Immortal Domain is ultimately destroyed by the Chief Priests, they will have done their best."
Countless beings were praying.
Of the entire Nine Great Immortal Domains, perhaps the only ones still resisting and fighting were the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain and the Xuantian Immortal Domain.
As for the other Immortal Domains, such as the Demon Heaven Immortal Domain and the Luo Tian Immortal Domain.
They had already been massacred by Lutian Beast God and Emperorfall Sky Master, the two Chief Priests.
No one could stop them; Immortal Forces were instantly annihilated.
And the only forces qualified to block the Chief Priests—the Immortal Court, the Underworld, the Cang Clan, and other forces—would absolutely not make a move.
They would rather sit back and watch the tigers fight than intervene to save the beings of the Immortal Domain.
It could be said that, apart from Xuantian and Desolate Heaven, the other Immortal Domains were truly like a living hell.
Mountains of corpses, rivers of blood.
The brilliant star rivers were dyed red with fresh blood, transforming into blood-colored star rivers, spanning hundreds of millions of miles across the Universe.
However, the situation on the Xuantian Immortal Domain's side was becoming increasingly dire.
Although Jun Lingxiao was the Second Ancestor of the Jun Family and possessed immense strength.
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit, however, was a near-Divine Rank existence.
This was an ancient being who had lived for countless eons, the ancestral figure of the Holy Spirit lineage.
Even a powerhouse like Jun Lingxiao found himself struggling against the Ancestor of the Holy Spirit.
"Futile resistance, merely adding a bit of cat-and-mouse amusement for me."
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit, holding the Holy Spirit Heavenly Splendor Staff, struck the ground with a single blow, unleashing waves of Law ripples tens of thousands of feet high, like a raging tide sweeping through the cosmic starry sky.
Boom!
Jun Lingxiao, the Mother of the Other Shore Flower, and others were all simultaneously forced back!
The Ancestor of the Holy Spirit, so powerful!
"Just a little longer, it's almost time…"
On the Jun Emperor Court's side, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was filled with extreme coldness.
He could only stand there now, watching the earth-shattering battle.
He felt unwilling.
"If this continues, the situation will truly become dire." Jiang Shengyi's immortal face also showed a grave expression.
Jun Xiaoyao was deep in thought when he turned his head and realized that Yuan Che had disappeared at some point.
As if noticing Jun Xiaoyao's gaze, Jiang Luoli said from the side, "That woman probably got scared and has already hidden back in the Immortal Court."
Jun Xiaoyao didn't say anything.
Even if Yuan Che returned to the Immortal Court, he wouldn't say anything.
After all, the current situation was indeed very severe, and since Yuan Che wasn't a Jun Family member, there was no real need for her to stay with them.
Just as the entire Jun Family was plunged into its most severe predicament.
One of the Ten Forbidden Zones of the Nine Heavens, the Sword Tomb.
Within the Sword Tomb, everything remained as usual.
However, a woman's weeping voice suddenly rang out.
"Little Yezi, I forbid you to go!"
The one who spoke was surprisingly Situ Xue.
At this moment, Ye Guchen, clad in a dark robe, had a look of determination in his eyes, which were as deep as the night sky.
"I must go."
"But you might die…" Situ Xue cried.
She knew what Ye Guchen was going to do.
It was an extremely dangerous matter, one that could even jeopardize his life.
Ye Guchen looked at Situ Xue, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and his heart, which was originally as cold as ice, couldn't help but feel a pang of pain.
He actually raised his hand and wiped away Situ Xue's tears.
This was something he, with his personality, would never do.
Situ Xue was stunned.
"Xue'er, Brother Jun has shown me great kindness."
"Would you want me to be an ungrateful, cowardly person?"
Hearing Ye Guchen's words, Situ Xue was also stunned.
She bit her lip tightly, then shook her head.
Ye Guchen smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards Heavenly Sword Peak.
And Swordless had already appeared.
He seemed to have already anticipated Ye Guchen's intentions.
"Ye Guchen, have you truly made up your mind? What you're saying implies a real risk of falling." Swordless said.
"Life and death are fated, but friendship is priceless. However, I think this should also be the Dugu Sword God's long-cherished wish." Ye Guchen said.
Swordless was startled, then suddenly laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.
"Haha, it truly is you! The Dugu Sword God's remnant body is in the deepest part of the Sword Tomb."
"You are a wisp of his soul. If you succeed, you should also be able to contribute a portion of power."
Ye Guchen nodded.
Without hesitation, he stepped into the deepest part of the Sword Tomb, resolute and fearless!
