The Gods in the temple watched with half-smiles. They could sense the Holy Artifacts’ aura emanating from Bu Fang. They had come back from the other universes to acquire these artifacts, for only through these artifacts could they obtain stronger power. There was an ultimate secret on the Ancestral Planet, and they had returned to uncover it.

“Hand them over to us… and you will live,” said the blond man with the scepter. He was Zeus, a being as formidable as an Immortal Emperor. He had lost to the Western Church in the struggle for the Holy Artifacts, but he did not reject the invitation to deal with this Immortal from the East, who possessed two Holy Artifacts.

According to their research, the Holy Artifacts themselves could not bring them any significant improvement in terms of strength. However, as something that had gathered all the spiritual energy of the Ancestral Planet, they were definitely something extraordinary.

They thought perhaps they had to gather all four Holy Artifacts to find out their secret. Therefore, these Gods had come to uncover the secret.

Hagens was smiling kindly. The pages of the book in his hand were flipping, and golden characters kept flying out of them, joining in midair into long strings of mysterious scripture. Meanwhile, the light emanating from the six-pointed star had enveloped Bu Fang, tangling his body like invisible chains.

Xiao Ai was horrified. She glanced over her shoulder and saw that a glinting cross had been erected behind her, and she was nailed on it, unable to move. She turned to look at Bu Fang, Nethery, and the Empyrean Fairy, and found that they had already crushed their crosses. She started to regret her decision of coming with them, for she was too weak to even fend for herself…

Bu Fang rose to his feet and glanced at Hagens. The smile on the old man’s face annoyed him. But he did not mind. He just wondered if the old man could still smile like this later. Just as he was about to make a move, however, he heard a rumbling sound approaching from the distant sky.

That gave him pause. With his divine sense, he detected an extremely terrifying aura, which was so strong that it made him take a deep breath. ‘This aura is strong… In fact, it is almost identical to that of a Heavengod!’

The moment Bu Fang sensed the aura, Hagens noticed it as well, and his pupils constricted. “Ah…Our distinguished guest from Hua is here… Are you really not going to hand us the two Holy Artifacts? With so many Gods here, do you still think you have a chance to escape? I admire your confidence, but it is because of this confidence that you will plunge into a situation that is beyond redemption…” Hagens said.

He turned toward the entrance. Outside, a mass of flickering light descended from the sky. Then, a graceful figure emerged from it, emitting colorful light that dazzled all eyes.

A beautiful phoenix was flapping its wings beside the figure. It was a real phoenix, which was totally different from the colorful peacock Bu Fang had met in the past. It possessed a lofty might and aura.

“The Queen Mother of the West…” The pupils of the Empyrean Fairy, who was also trapped in the six-pointed star, constricted, and she muttered. She was no stranger to this woman.

The Kun Bird on Bu Fang’s shoulder also bowed its head slightly as if it was afraid of the woman.

“The Queen Mother of the West?” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. This was so far the strongest Immortal he had met. Her aura was almost as strong as a Heavengod, but she was not a Heavengod. She was just an Immortal Emperor. However, this was not the aura he detected earlier, the one that made him take a deep breath.

He raised his head and looked into the distance. A beam of light was approaching from that direction, tearing through the air at great speed. A few moments later, it had arrived, hovering in midair.

Four swords wheeled in the sky, and beneath them, a Daoist sat cross-legged on an auspicious cloud with a colorful ring of light behind his head. The moment he appeared, all the spiritual energy in the area seemed to boil.

Cardinal Hagens’s pupils constricted with fear. At this moment, a rumbling sound echoed out from the depths of the castle. It was as though a supreme being had woken up. Sure enough, an old man clad in a golden robe emerged in midair a short while later, emanating a terrifying aura to fight with the Daoist’s aura.

“Greetings, Your Holiness!” Hagens bowed respectfully, for God spoke through the Pope on Earth.

The Daoist glanced indifferently at the Pope, ignored him, then turned to look at Bu Fang. “So… You are that evil man who killed my Immortals?” he said in a deafening voice.

Bu Fang raised his brows and glanced at the Daoist. He seemed to have guessed the Daoist’s identity. ‘He should be the almighty expert mentioned by Yang Jian, who returned from the Primitive Universe and is restricted by the power of the Ancestral Planet…’

‘Sect Leader… Tongtian!” the Empyrean Fairy muttered and took a deep breath. ‘How did the Western Church manage to invite Sect Leader Tongtian here? This doesn’t make sense! With his lofty status, they should not be able to get him here!’

A look of suspicion came into the fairy’s eyes. ‘I can understand why the Queen Mother of the West is here. This woman can do anything for power, and she will even torture mortals for the so-called rules and honor.

‘But Sect Leader Tongtian is… the leader of a sect. He is not so easy to be invited. Is he attracted by the so-called Holy Artifacts as well? Are they really so important?’

‘Sect Leader Tongtian?’ Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. He was beginning to find the situation a little tricky to handle. He thought that he had been overconfident. After facing no obstacles on Earth, he had forgotten some mighty existences. This Sect Leader Tongtian was definitely someone who could pose him a threat.

Sect Leader Tongtian looked at Bu Fang and said nothing. Then, he glanced around and immediately understood what was happening. “It’s been a long time, Queen Mother of the West,” he said, nodding at the woman.

The Queen Mother nodded back. She would not make the Daoist her enemy. Of all the beings that had returned to the Ancestral Planet, Sect Leader Tongtian was the strongest!

“Greetings, Your Excellency. I’m Cardinal Hagens of the Western Church, God’s spokesperson on Earth.

“Thank you for coming at our invitation to appraise the four Holy Artifacts. However, two of them are still possessed by this evil man. I hope Your Excellency will join us in killing him, so we can gather all four Holy Artifacts and experience the miracle brought to us by the Ancestral Planet…”

Hagens looked at Sect Leader Tongtian with a fiery gaze. He had never underestimated Hua’s Immortals, which could be seen from how he had carefully set up a trap for Bu Fang. Hua was a strange country, and the appearance of Sect Leader Tongtian had proven that.

“Join you in killing the evil man?” Tongtian muttered.

Down below, Bu Fang furrowed his brows and glanced around. His face grew serious.

The Empyrean Fairy had a wry smile on her face. She was Bu Fang’s maid now, and once he was killed, she would be free. However, she did not feel happy at all.

As someone with a fiery temper, the fact that a Hua Immortal joined these foreign Gods in bullying Bu Fang angered her. This was also the reason why she did not like the Queen Mother, even though she was no match for her.

In the sky, Sect Leader Tongtian put his hands beside him, his eyes cold. The Pope in his golden robe did not say a word. Down below, Anubis, Zeus, Cain, and all the other strange Gods were looking at the Daoist, seemingly expressing their friendliness to him.

Inside Bu Fang, divine power began to slowly flow—he was ready to make a move. He was just waiting for Sect Leader Tongtian to nod…

“Yes, the evil man is hateful, but… Who are you? What makes you think that you are qualified to attack a Hua Immortal? This is an internal affair of Hua Immortals, and it has nothing to do with you all,” Tongtian said indifferently. His voice was calm as if he was just talking about something insignificant, but his words stunned everyone.

Hagens had prepared to welcome the almighty expert, but now the smile on his face froze. The other strange Gods were dumbstruck as well.

The Queen Mother of the West, riding on the phoenix, twitched the corner of her mouth. ‘He truly is Sect Leader Tongtian… Does he want to protect this evil man too?’

Bu Fang, still trapped by the six-pointed star, looked surprisingly at the Daoist in the sky. ‘Hmm… This guy has quite a unique character.’

The Empyrean Fairy’s eyes lit up. ‘The Sect Leader’s protective character has not changed! He had been famous for that during the Battle of the Gods in ancient times, though few Gods had survived under his protection…’ She felt a surge of relief. She had long been annoyed by these foreign Gods.

“Don’t you think that your words are a little too harsh? The Western Church sincerely invited Your Excellency here. There is no need for Your Excellency to say that. The evil man is captured by us. Since Your Excellency doesn’t wish to join us, you may leave now,” Hagens said coldly.

The Cardinals in red robes behind him all rose into the air at the same time, their eyes glowing goldenly as they stared at Sect Leader Tongtian. The Pope in his golden robe also lifted his scepter, the gemstone on which bloomed into a blinding light.

“Although the evil man is hateful, he is a Hua Immortal. Now that I’m here, I will not let any of you foreign Gods bully a Hua Immortal,” Tongtian said in the same indifferent voice. Then, he flicked his finger.

At the gesture, a blue sword behind him shot forward, whizzing through the air. It was the Immortal Exterminating Sword.

The Pope focused his eyes, lifted his scepter, and brought it down hard with all his might. A ripple spread through the void as it collided with the sword.

The Queen Mother of the West hesitated for a while, and in the end, she chose to watch. ‘I can’t believe Tongtian would fight so many strange Gods for that evil man. The Western Church is not…weak,’ she thought to herself.

“I will capture the evil man myself. The four Divine Artifacts belong to Hua as well, so hand them over to me now,” said the Sect Leader.

The Gods on the ground flew into a rage when they heard that. “What an ignorant Daoist! You are courting death!”

With a roar, Anubis reached a hand over his shoulder and grabbed the bloody axe. In just the blink of an eye, his body grew to ten thousand feet tall, then he held the axe with both hands and brought it down toward Tongtian. Blood poured out of the weapon as countless souls wailed around it, turning into a sea of death.

Meanwhile, Zeus thumped the butt of his staff on the ground. A thunderbolt emerged in his hand, and he threw it at the Daoist in the sky. The temple’s domed ceiling burst apart as all the other Gods made their moves at the same time.

Tongtian did not move, but the four swords behind him wheeled and turned into a circle, from which countless tiny swords came falling out and forced all the Gods to retreat. Some weaker Gods were slashed to pieces by them.

A faint smile brushed Bu Fang’s lips as he watched Tongtian fight those Gods. He could not believe that he was protected by his foe…

In the distance, Hagens’ face turned extremely cold. He turned, stared at Bu fang, and said, “Capture this evil man and lock him up… We will take the Holy Artifacts from him after dealing with this Daoist!” The array of the six-pointed star was given to them by God, and to him, Bu Fang was already captured by it.

“Who do you want to capture and lock up?” Bu Fang looked indifferently at Hagens with his hands clasped behind him.

That gave the Cardinal pause.

“Sect Leader Tongtian is right. This is an internal affair between Hua Immortals, and it has nothing to do with you strange Gods,” Bu Fang said. After that, his eyes burst into a golden light as he activated the God of Cooking’s Eye, while his aura began to skyrocket. Impacted by his aura, the white light that had trapped him began to crack.

A rumbling sound echoed out as a silver lotus of flame emerged and swirled around Bu Fang. Slowly, it descended and spread across the six-pointed star, then shattered it and turned it into tiny dots of light.

With his hands clasped behind him, Bu Fang walked calmly out of the destroyed array.
