Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 983 - 356: Probing Exchange, Protector Golden Roc (Part 3)

"Enough with the capriciousness, it's time to get down to business."

Beneath his feet, the Four Guardian Stars were undergoing some kind of mystical transformation, swelling infinitely within, evolving into a complete universe, suspended between reality and illusion.

The Red-haired Taoist coolly remarked, "Sharp-tongued."

Wuzhou's smile deepened at the corners of his mouth, finding it exceedingly amusing.

Interestingly enough, All Real Saints didn't give him as much of a feeling as this fraction of the Yanhuang Federation.

If he could assimilate these few people, it would surely be quite interesting; perhaps there might emerge a scene where Wuzhou competes with Wuzhou for the Tao.

"The Three Palaces and Four Symbols Array?"

Wuzhou glanced at the region where the Four Guardian Stars were located and immediately recognized the array buried within its depths, chuckling.

"You younglings are just as resourceful as ever. What's your trump card, He Donghuang? Or Mu Shitian?"

"If you don't reveal your cards now, there won't be a chance."

Ke Qingxiu ignored him, turned around, and walked into the battlefield that the Four Guardian Stars was evolving, without looking back.

"Come in, and I shall slay you."

Wuzhou exclaimed in admiration, "Little fellows, such grand words."

The Red-haired Taoist showed no expression, but with a hand movement, four Killing Swords hummed into action, their killing intent surged to the sky!

With their identities, it was impossible to follow the opponent; breaking the array by force was the only way.

Just as they were about to act, Shi Zun intervened, halting the Red-haired Taoist, and said calmly:

"He is seeking the origin to trace back the past actions of He Donghuang. If possible, first capture He Donghuang's disciples."

"He Donghuang's disciples?" The Red-haired Taoist's gaze fell on a particular spot.

There, it happened to meet Wuzhou's gaze.

The latter squinted his eyes, a hint of danger appearing in his smile:

"Leave this child to me."

The Red-haired Taoist said coldly, "Can you break this Reversed Ten Thousand Spirits Array?"

In Wuzhou's eyes were reflected the scenery of All Phenomena Bay, the Yanhuang Federation's territory, none of which escaped his gaze—everything was mapped out clearly before him.

Not only the mountain and river veins between the stars within the territory, but even the trajectory of each Power of Faith and Will hid profound mysteries.

The layout, up to this point, could truly be called "meticulously crafted."

Wuzhou said lightly, "These younglings prepared for so long, how could they possibly allow us to act recklessly? Haven't you seen yet? This is using Heaven and Earth as a chessboard, wanting to finish that decade-old remnant game with us."

With a cold snort, the Red-haired Taoist seemed to unleash a chilling current, freezing Heaven, Earth, and Void, and causing all things to wither and perish in silence.

"Foolery," he scoffed.

Defeated miserably thousands of years ago, and now with only a remnant game left, can you achieve victory today?

Wuzhou said nothing, observing everything within the Federation, calculating Mu Shitian's traces.

Compared to 01 who was more concerned with He Donghuang's movements and tracks, Wuzhou was more focused on Mu Shitian.

Several hundred years ago, the Mu Family of Yanhuang Federation once jointly executed an operation with the government to seek traces of Mu Shitian.

In the end, they did truly summon a lingering sentiment of this person to the world.

However, the latter was unwilling to join the Main Temple and left alone, his whereabouts unknown.

As he suspected, this remnant sentiment still lingered somewhere in the world.

He wouldn't appear, leaving Wuzhou uneasy.

At this moment, Wuzhou suddenly gazed in the direction of the powerful beings of all realms.

At this juncture, the adversaries remained cautious.

Because till now, the leader of the Four Demons, 01, had yet to show his true self!

In the same way, the Federation only had the Four Great Divine Masters present, with only Yang Qingshan making moves, and many other methods were unseen.

Both sides were still probing each other.

What surprised the Supreme Creatures the most was how these four Divine Masters of the Federation could spar with the Four Demons for a few rounds, thanks to the GREAT Universe's Heavenly Will and the array beneath their feet.

Even though at this moment, Wuzhou and Yan hadn't yet reached complete form, it was still enough to be startling.

--- The latter two, like travelers, had come to an unfamiliar realm, still adapting to the local "customs and habits".

At this moment.

Wuzhou's voice echoed in each one of them.

Nobody knew whether Wuzhou said the same words to everyone, but many faces visibly changed.

For these Supreme Creatures to reveal such emotions on their faces implied the words Wuzhou spoke were deeply persuasive, hitting directly at the "vulnerable points" of All Saints.

An ancient existence sitting on the Divine Platform snorted coldly, sweeping a frosty gaze, and mocked:

"You fools, will you follow that wicked Wuzhou?"

He who spoke was, remarkably, the ancestor of the Holy Temple.

The crowd remained silent, yet their gaze was fixed tightly in the direction of the Four Guardian Stars, calculating along the two rivers of fate and time, yet still deriving nothing.

The words Wuzhou uttered earlier—

"Will you all join me in our quest for Transcendence?"

Though succinct, it pointed directly to the hearts of All Saints.

"To break this Reversed Ten Thousand Spirits Array, one must either enter the Four Guardian Stars to destroy the core or dismantle the foundation of the array."

"Choosing either of the two eye holes is neither hard nor easy," the patriarch of the Blood Demon Palace said coldly. He had scores to settle from the past with Li Shoucheng and Qin Tianfeng.

And naturally, the foundation of this Reversed Ten Thousand Spirits Array was the multitude of people in the Yanhuang Federation.

"Isn't this exactly as we had anticipated about the situation?" someone remarked coldly, "Just wait, how could we possibly pave the way for the Four Demons?"

Everyone nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

Just then, an indescribable brilliant golden light burst forth from the depths of the cosmic starry sky, surged toward the heavens, and pierced through the galaxies!

This beam of brilliance seemed as if thousands of Great Suns traversed their lifetime within a split second, utmostly sublimating, igniting themselves, releasing all their light and heat.

A silhouette spanned across millions and millions of miles of Void, like an ancient Great Sun God burning brightly.

"Chi Wanyang?!"

The four Killing Swords suddenly resonated in unison, murderous intent between the Red-haired Taoist's brows boiled over, showing unprecedented killing intent toward the newcomer.

Nevertheless, the silhouette didn't spare a glance at the Red-haired Taoist; it yawned and stepped deep into the Four Guardian Stars.

Seeing the Red-haired Taoist's killing intent stir, unable to restrain the figure, Wuzhou frowned slightly.

In the past, it was this former Ancient Sun God that caused Yan to suffer a "Dao Power loss" within this realm.

To think the Yanhuang Federation even managed to locate this being.

"You and Shi go together. I'll provide support from outside."

In an instant, Wuzhou changed his approach and conveyed the message.

The Red-haired Taoist hesitated very little; the four Killing Swords circled around him, and with one step, he entered the battlefield within the Four Guardian Stars.

Suddenly.

To meet him was a long saber, sharpest under Heaven, slashing through Heaven and Earth, cutting through Mixed Cave, Yin Yang, and Five Elements, targeting the Red-haired Taoist's entire Daoist career!

This was the Heavenly Blade!

Boom!

The Daoist melodies of Heaven and Earth resounded together, an unimaginable rumbling spread forth.

...

Meanwhile, in another battlefield.

A massive hand spanned across the Time River, brushing over the boundless flowing river, coursing backward, traversing ancient history, seeking the traces one once left behind.

"Hm?"

This backward flow startled many existences within the Time River.

The True Saints, although incapable of freely reversing the flow of time, had long since been conscious of shifts and changes along the river, as well as ripples and transformations.

Someone attempted to interfere, but none could stop the forward progress of this massive hand; they could only watch it continue ascending.

Just then.

A gigantic foot thunderously stomped down!

Rumble!

The river suddenly surged with heavy waves, an indescribable roar resonated through the Time River!

This hand, attempting to flow backward, was also stomped out of the Time River's range, falling to mortal dust.

An ancient and holy figure suddenly pierced through space-time barriers and fell into the current age!

At the moment of its manifestation.

In Heaven and Earth, a sharp screech sounded!

It was a golden ferocious beast lurking in the depths of the Spirit Ocean, its golden eyes blazing brighter than lightning, with a flap of its wings raising mighty surges as it charged into reality.

Instantly, heaven collapsed, the earth shattered, the firmament fell apart, and this Ancient Golden Roc moved faster than thought, charging directly at the real body of 01 that had fallen into the world!

The situation became tumultuous in the blink of an eye.

Upon sensing the aura of this Ancient Golden Roc, for the first time, Wuzhou's expression slightly shifted:

"Mu Shitian!"

In the past, Mu Shitian had subdued an ancestor of the Golden Roc among all the realms, accepting it as his protector under the seat!
