"It really is that youngster Yu Yuan!"

In the Biyou Palace, Daoist Duobao couldn't help but smile wryly.

He knew his master all too well, so upon seeing the expression on his face, he had already guessed what was happening. Once he extended his Divine Thought, it all became crystal clear.

He looked at the Hierarch Tongtian with a somewhat mocking tone: "What did I tell you, Master? This youngster knows no bounds; there's nothing he wouldn't dare to do!

I think you'd better take back the Investiture of the Gods now. If it stays in his hands for a few more days, I'm afraid the entire Jie Sect from top to bottom will end up on the list."

Hierarch Tongtian knew in his heart that it was a misjudgment and was slightly annoyed with Yu Yuan, but outwardly he appeared unconcerned:

"Trust those you use, don't use those you mistrust... I have confidence in him."

Daoist Duobao curled his lips, thinking to himself that it's because you don't know Yu Yuan well enough!

However, he also knew that although his master's temperament was easygoing, he cared about saving face. If he kept harping on, he might just end up annoying him unnecessarily.

So he immediately said with a smile: "Then, disciple will go and summon them to Biyou Palace for questioning, to clarify what happened."

Hierarch Tongtian nodded slightly.

Although he didn't really want to meddle in the affairs of the sect, now that it had escalated to the Penglai Holy Realm, there was no avoiding it.

...

Within the Four Symbols Formation

Seeing that all sides were sealed, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and the others were taken aback.

Even if they were rather slow, they now understood they had fallen into a trap.

"Yu Yuan, what are you trying to do!"

Li Xingba shouted angrily: "You dare abuse the authority of the Investiture of the Gods, now come with me to Biyou Palace and confess your sins!"

What responded to him was a Mixed Gold Hammer, flickering with a pale golden divine radiance.

As hammer clashed with weapon, the latter was directly sent flying. The hand that held that weapon also exploded into a mist of blood under an immense force.

Li Xingba hurriedly turned into a ray of light and fled, his eyes wide open, staring at Yu Yuan in disbelief.

Although he had witnessed Yu Yuan defeating Chan Sect disciples with the Mixed Gold Hammer, those were only Third Generation Disciples!

The most advanced among them, Lingzhu Zi, was merely at the early stages of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Whereas he, Li Xingba, was an old Golden Immortal who had cultivated for numerous Kalpas!

Both were of the same realm, but their Dao Xing was worlds apart!

But now Yu Yuan was telling him:

Under the hammer, all are equal!

How could he not be shocked?

On the other side, the Golden Armored Divine that Yang Sen called forth was overwhelming Yu Yuan like a tidal wave, and the Heavenly Opening Pearl and Primordial Chaos Pearl wielded by Wang Mo and Gao Youqian shone brightly, raining down radiance like droplets.

This offensive covered all directions, leaving no escape!

Yu Yuan didn't dodge; wielding the Mixed Gold Hammer, he swung left and right in wide arcs, smashing through the Golden Armored Divines, felling a large swath of them in an instant.

The radiance from the Heavenly Opening Pearl and Primordial Chaos Pearl also struck his body.

The former sliced at his flesh like a sharp blade, the latter barraged him like sharp arrows.

However, in the next instant, Wang Mo and Gao Youqian were stunned.

They saw that Yu Yuan, after being irradiated by the light of the Heavenly Opening Pearl and Primordial Chaos Pearl for quite a while, had only some red marks on his body, not even breaking the skin!

[Physical injury incurred, Qi-Blood +1, +2...]

[Physical injury incurred, Qi-Blood +1, +3...]

...

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at Wang Mo and Gao Youqian with a look of disappointment.

"Two Masters, could you stop scratching me?"

"With your petty Dao Xing, how dare you call yourselves Saints?"

"Don't tell me just because you can strut around in front of mortals, you really consider yourselves Great Saints?"

"No shame at all!"

Although they didn't fully understand the meaning behind Yu Yuan's words, his gaze already pricked at the sensitive pride of the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island.

Meanwhile, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal seized the opportunity and said: "If today we do not escort him to Biyou Palace, we will all be named in the Investiture of the Gods!"

He looked at the somewhat perplexed Jie Sect Immortals and the gloomy-faced Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, shouting loudly: "This youngster only relies on his strong physique. If we attack together with all our means, he won't be able to defend!"

Before his words fell, a hammer enveloped in purple aura appeared in Yu Yuan's left hand.

As the hammer emerged, masses of dark clouds rolled in, like a gigantic curtain blotting out the sky and sun descending.

Darkness engulfed the heavens and the earth.

Bright white lightning serpents moved through the blackness, eventually converging into a swirling Thunder Well.

At this moment, the handsome face of Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal turned ashen, and his tall and thin body couldn't help trembling.

"Pur... Purple Lightning Hammer! How is this treasure in your hands?"

Yu Yuan ignored him and simply shouted: "Fall!"

"Boom booming—"

Following his command, the Thunder Well above unleashed a myriad of multicolored thunderbolts, indiscriminately striking down below.

These dazzling thunderbolts, carrying the might of the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, enveloped everyone below in an instant.

Compared to such heavenly might, the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island seemed insignificantly trivial.

In their rushed efforts, Wang Mo, Gao Youqian and others swiftly activated their respective Treasure Beads, erecting hazy protective shields to guard themselves.

The rest also used their methods to protect themselves.

Yet, Yu Yuan, the instigator, remained unaffected, boldly facing the endless Divine Thunder while swinging the Mixed Gold Hammer at the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island.

[Struck by Five Elements Divine Thunder: Qi-Blood +29270, Strength +1321, Muscle and Bone +923, Mana +32834, Primordial Spirit Strength +514...]

[Struck by Five Elements Divine Thunder: Qi-Blood +28245, Strength +1649, Muscle and Bone +838, Mana +44347, Primordial Spirit Strength +453...]

...

As expected, the might of the Purple Lightning Hammer was astounding, and indeed, it could be used for "cultivation."

However, it severely lacked concealment, with its movements being far too loud.

At this moment, his entire body was wrapped in electric light, his right hand wielding the Mixed Gold Hammer that carried irresistible force as well as the might of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, which came crashing down, and protective barriers shattered in an instant.

"Crack"

The crisp sound of breaking rang out in succession.

It wasn't just the protective barriers that shattered, those Spiritual Treasures also showed tiny cracks one after another.

"Such power..."

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal and the Four Saints from Nine Dragons Island all revealed expressions of horror in their eyes.

Who said that Yu Yuan only possessed physical divine power?

With the Purple Lightning Hammer in hand, it was a breeze for him to beat you all!

Those Jie Sect Immortals with lesser Dao Xing were even more pale with fright.

"Don't hit us anymore!"

"Yu Yuan Daoist, please forgive us, we have nothing to do with this!"

"Daoist friend, please withdraw your divine skills!"

"..."

Yu Yuan acted as if he heard nothing.

"Boom boom boom—"

The sound of thunder was incessant, and the Mixed Gold Hammer wrapped in five-colored lightning also plummeted down.

Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded.

"Halt, everyone!"

It was the arrival of Duobao Taoist.

Yu Yuan inwardly remarked on the swift arrival but didn't show any intent of stopping the hammer in his hand.

Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal, panic-stricken, raised his head.

"Brother, save me!"

Screaming, he simultaneously invoked several treasures, desperately trying to block the hammer.

But...

It was futile.

The large hammer smashed down relentlessly.

"Boom!"

A fierce blast of sound erupted, inside the Four Symbols Formation, a billion-yard radiant gold light burst forth, like a great sun slowly rising.

The treasures invoked by Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal shattered like foam.

His Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit-created immortal golden body was like ice and snow meeting the sun, melting rapidly and turning into a puff of blood mist.

A golden Primordial Spirit rose up from the blood mist, shaped like a divine rabbit with long erect ears and eyes like blood-red jewels.

This divine rabbit whimpered and wisps of green smoke rose, turning into a golden light under the power of some invisible rule and shooting into the Investiture of the Gods!

Duobao Taoist's expression changed slightly.

He had just tried to preserve Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal's Primordial Spirit but failed.

The divine power of the Investiture of the Gods...or rather, its rules, were unimaginably strong!

Seeing Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal's end, the Four Saints from Nine Dragons Island and those seven Jie Sect Immortals were all terrified beyond measure.

Years of arduous cultivation till now, all gone like a river flowing eastward!

Luckily, at this moment Yu Yuan did not continue to be brutal, but instead quickly put away the Purple Lightning Hammer and Four Symbols Array Map.

The people from Nine Dragons Island all secretly sighed in relief, then immediately bowed and paid their respects to Duobao Taoist. They burst into tears while pleading their case to him.

Like how Yu Yuan deliberately intended to wipe them out completely and send them all onto the Investiture of the Gods...

Duobao Taoist looked solemn, gestured for everyone to be silent, then cast an unkind glance towards Yu Yuan and asked in a deep voice:

"Why didn't you stop just now?"

"Sect Hierarch grants clarity! I did stop, it's just that... my hand slipped accidentally."

Yu Yuan blatantly spouted nonsensical excuses.

Duobao Taoist: (▼ヘ▼#)

Looking at Yu Yuan, who was slippery as an eel in front of him, it was hard for him to equate this person with the nephew who single-handedly turned the tide during the Three Sects' negotiation.

Indeed, he still couldn't bring himself to like this nephew!

With an empty gaze, he said to Yu Yuan and the people from Nine Dragons Island: "All of you, go to Biyou Palace and explain everything in detail."

Yu Yuan had anticipated this turn of events and wasn't surprised.

Soon, the group arrived at the main hall of Biyou Palace.

After everyone paid their respects, Tongtian, sitting on the White Jade Cloud Bed, expressionlessly said, "Bring out the Investiture of the Gods."

Yu Yuan did as instructed, taking out the Investiture of the Gods and holding it in his hand.

Tongtian lightly flicked his hand, and a golden Primordial Spirit separated from the Investiture of the Gods and fell to the ground, transforming into the form of Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal.

At present, Long-eared Ding Guang Immortal was bound by the Investiture of the Gods and could not reconstitute his body without external aid; he certainly couldn't come out on his own.

Now that he was temporarily released, he looked around and realized that he was inside Biyou Palace. He immediately understood this was his last chance to survive.

Without hesitation, he knelt down and wept bitterly, pleading to Tongtian:

"Sect Hierarch save me!

This Yu Yuan plotted against Lv Yue and others, evidence conclusive. Our visit was to expose his deeds to the Sect Hierarch, only to find that this scoundrel had already received the news and ambushed us on the way..."

The Four Saints from Nine Dragons Island and others also knelt and beat their chests, shedding tears as they made their accusations to Tongtian.

They also brought two witnesses from the Dragon Clan, who testified while trembling.

All the testimonies all pointed to Yu Yuan: after being ambushed in the East Sea, he rushed to Nine Dragons Island overnight and killed Lv Yue and others responsible for the ambush in a fit of anger...
