If he failed this time, it wouldn't matter much to the Jade Emperor, who still had a long life ahead to continue waiting and had the chance to start anew.
But as for Zhang Taiyue, if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know whether he'd be able to wait for a new one; setting aside whether he could certify as a Tao-Certifying True Immortal, it was uncertain whether the Human Tripod would abandon him if he couldn't push forward with his reforms.
Originally, he only wanted to use this object as the ultimate trump card, and it would have been a fine option to seize the Supreme Divine Power and then leave.
But now, due to these people's foolish shortsightedness, he had to prematurely expose the Human Tripod, truly infuriating.
The Human Tripod, what was this object? Once exposed, even if he was merely a common Supreme Strong, he would inevitably attract the attention of many powerful beings, and it could even be possible that, after he left this place, some True Immortal would set their sights on him to seize the Human Tripod.
It could be said that the premature exposure of the Human Tripod was disadvantageous for his current situation.
The situation had come to this stage, the die was cast; incapable of relying on his pig-headed allies, the discontent Zhang Taiyue naturally didn't bother to say more and instead spurred on the Human Tripod to contend with Jian Wu.
One was on the offense, the other on the defense.
With the fatal fierceness of the Sword Sect and the sharpness of the Semi-Immortal Artifact Divine Weapon Chengying Sword, theoretically, there were few things between Heaven and Earth that couldn't be cut through; even most of the Semi-Immortal Artifacts couldn't withstand this sharp edge continuously.
But, the Human Tripod was one of those exceptions, as the treasure of the human race, its defensive capabilities were unparalleled. Even some Immortal Artifacts couldn't easily break it, let alone the Chengying Sword that hadn't yet completed its transformation.
Therefore, Jian Wu's current invincible sharp sword edge was blocked.
An initial burst of energy, followed by a decline, and then exhaustion at the third attempt.
This offensive was continuously blocked; even though it wasn't to the point of threefold exhaustion, Jian Wu's momentum of an inevitable victory after attempting to kill Xuan Yuanzi was stifled, and the clash between the two fell into a deadlock.
This was not a good situation for the powerful members of the Sword Sect, because they did not have a numerical advantage. Even if the Sword Sect disciples were slightly more powerful, it was not a completely overwhelming situation, and facing multiple opponents, they were at a disadvantage.
"Wan Fayi, if you still don't make a move, I'm done cooperating!" Jian Wu slashed out with her sword, still unable to breach the defense of the Human Tripod, her heart was filled with utmost fury, and she let out an angry shout towards the heavens.
This plan was originally instigated by Wan Fayi.
Now, having guided these people to the Thousand Divine Mountain, she had already taken action, yet the other side remained motionless, were they intending to make her and the people of the Sword Sect cannon fodder?
If that was the case, do not blame her for turning hostile and possibly colluding and betraying them to the Jade Emperor's side.
"Do not be hasty, I will take action now!" Wan Fayi's voice came from the distance, echoing throughout the Thousand Divine Mountain.
Wan Fayi knew that these were Jian Wu's words uttered in anger. Others might act so, but the people of the Sword Sect were clear about enmity and gratitude. If they could change their stance at the beginning, but now, having already taken action, moreover with disciples of the Sword Sect having fallen at the hands of the Jade Emperor Lineage.
Both sides were stained with the blood of their adversaries; the Jade Emperor Lineage might weigh the pros and cons and compromise temporarily, but the Sword Sect would absolutely not. Therefore, Wan Fayi wouldn't take it seriously.
But seriousness aside, he couldn't delay any longer at this moment; after all, it was he who had initiated this matter. Watching others fight while he did nothing wasn't going to look or sound good if word got out.
Seeing that all parties had been drawn to the Thousand Divine Mountain, there was no need to keep waiting.
"Array, rise!" Wan Fayi uttered softly, the Primordial Qi flowing around him. In an instant, countless Array Bases were activated, and the entire Thousand Divine Mountain emitted a dazzling light.
Beam after beam of light pierced into the sky, continuously connecting with each other, covering the entire heavens. The boundless essence qi of heaven and earth rapidly converged, gathering below where Wan Fayi was. At this moment, the forces swirling around Wan Fayi formed a wild vortex, like a bottomless black hole devouring this essence qi of heaven and earth.
Boom after boom, thunder exploded continuously above the sky, and within his body, the formless and substance-less Golden Core, condensed by the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art, spun rapidly. A ceaseless flow of Shenxiao Origin Qi circulated out, pervading these powers.
The Shenxiao Golden Core is the name of the Golden Core of cultivators in the Golden Core Dao of the Shenxiao Sect—of course, it's just a general term, as each cultivator of the Golden Core Dao has a completely distinct Golden Core.
Although Wan Fayi had not truly embarked on the Golden Core Dao, how could he, a practitioner of the Myriad Laws Path, be unaware of such a skill?
At this moment, the infinite essence qi of heaven and earth was several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times, thousands of times, even tens of thousands of times more than the essence qi originally contained within his body.
If he did not use this Golden Core method to continuously compress these essence qi together, he would hardly have time to act before being blown apart by this boundless heaven and earth essence qi.
An invisible and intangible Golden Core phantom formed within his body, with infinite power circulating in him, it seemed that with every move he could wield the might to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth.
After a long wait, Wan Fayi's eyes suddenly opened, with divine light flickering in his pupils, not showing the slightest emotion, rational to the extreme.
This was one of the Divine Abilities he commanded. Although it held no offensive power, it could suppress some of his own distracting thoughts, remaining in an absolutely rational state, allowing him to fight in the most perfect form, unleashing his most powerful strength.
"This power is truly addictive; I fear that even a True Immortal is no more than this!" Sensing his own abundant strength, Wan Fayi muttered to himself.
At this moment, his strength was several times that of before, already breaking through the boundaries of four-star combat power. Boosted by the array, everything in the Thousand Divine Mountain was clearly perceived by him; even the Supreme Overlords could not escape his detection.
At this instant, he discovered that there were so many hidden powerhouses atop the Thousand Divine Mountain. Even though he had guessed it in his heart, the revelation of so many Supreme Overlords who had broken through the four-star combat power here still astonished him.
Indeed, none were peaceful characters. If it weren't for having such an ace up his sleeve, he truly might have labored in vain, only to make wedding clothes for these people in the end.
"Jian Wu, move aside!" Wan Fayi determined the direction, called out loudly, and then with a movement of his hands, a Thunder Dragon roared forth, sweeping towards Zhang Taiyue.
At this moment, this originally ordinary Divine Power, when executed by Wan Fayi, was terrifying to the extreme, in no way inferior to the full-force strike of a Semi-Immortal Artifact.
Jian Wu had sensed Wan Fayi's transformation the moment his array was activated. For her, an almost invincible powerhouse in the Myriad Laws Realm, watching the array activate and countless essence qi of heaven and earth converge on Wan Fayi stirred an intense sense of danger—this was a feeling she had not experienced for a long time, only ever felt when facing True Immortals.
Although confident in her own strength, she did not lose her caution, naturally being on guard. At the moment the other party made a move, she immediately shifted away.
Everything happened in an instant. Zhang Taiyue simply did not have time to evade, or rather, with the Human Tripod in hand, he never considered evading.
For once he evaded, he would inevitably expose a flaw, giving Jian Wu an opportunity to exploit. Therefore, relying on the strong defense of the Human Tripod, he chose to withstand the attack.
Boom!
A deafening explosion resounded through the heavens, causing space to fracture and shockwaves to sweep out, drawing the attention of powerful combatants who were engaged in the battle at a distance.
The Human Tripod, originally unmoved by the continuous onslaught of the Chenying Sword, a Semi-Immortal Artifact, was now shaken, its radiance dimming a bit.
This sign, witnessed by all, caused varying expressions to emerge on their faces.
