"Boom!"

When the sky-obscuring giant palm descended from the heavens, the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation was in full operation, attempting to trap the "Primordial Qilin" to death within the array.

By the time Zhao Gongming and the three Xiaos reacted, that enormous jade-like palm had already smashed down from above the Nine Heavens with fierce speed, causing the entire formation to violently tremble.

This giant palm, translucent as jade, towering and imposing, came crashing down like the sky falling and the earth cracking, covering everything in its path. It emitted a cold radiance, crushing down irresistibly, exuding an overwhelming aura of unstoppable might.

Under the strike of the giant palm, the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation trembled violently, each node exploding with dazzling light. The originally intricate landscape and waterways instantly crumbled and disintegrated, with the earth shaking and mountains swaying, the whole formation nearly collapsing into ruin.

Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao's expressions changed dramatically, alarms ringing in their hearts, feeling an imminent sense of doom, while Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's Dao Xing were significantly weaker and their clarity not as sharp. Upon seeing the palm pressing down, they immediately activated the numerous Spiritual Treasures on their bodies, preparing to confront the massive jade palm.

"Be careful!"

Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao shouted in alarm, hastily lending their aid.

The former conjured up twenty-four Ocean Stabilizing Pearls to shield the four siblings, holding a Golden Whip in hand to strike at the giant palm in the sky, while Yun Xiao also mobilized the Immortal Sword, bravely meeting it head-on like a raging dragon.

However, despite the magnificence of the Golden Whip and Immortal Sword, upon nearing the jade palm, both treasures were struck as if by lightning, falling down like kites with cut strings.

Compared to that, it was a relatively better outcome.

The Immortal Swords conjured by Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao turned silently into ash the moment they approached the jade palm.

Similarly, the other Spiritual Treasures they activated were also unable to withstand that terrifying force, directly shattering into countless fragments and scattering with the wind.

"Quick, dodge!"

"Dang!"

The voice of Yu Yuan, accompanied by the sound of the Chaos Bell, resonated, instantly distorting space, allowing Zhao Gongming and the three Xiaos to have no more doubts, each transforming into a streak of spiritual light through the twisted space, instantly arriving by Yu Yuan's side.

"Boom!"

The jade giant palm smashed down, and the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation was completely obliterated by a boundless force, vanishing into nothingness, leaving behind only ruins bathed in disarray and dispersing Spiritual Energy.

Zhao Gongming and the three Xiaos watched helplessly as their proudest Great Formation turned to ash, their hearts filled with frustration and despair.

This was an utter crushing defeat; they were like mere insects, easily crushed to death by the opponent with a mere flick of the hand.

The "Primordial Qilin" rose from the ruins of the destroyed Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, looking up at the jade-like giant palm with a slightly unnatural expression on its face, appearing somewhat regretful and a little uneasy.

Moments later, it bowed towards the eastern horizon, its expression extremely respectful, no longer displaying the dignity of an Earth Emperor.

On the other side, Randeng Taoist straightened his robes, also bowing respectfully towards the eastern sky.

Yu Yuan swayed slightly and arrived beside Fairy Miao Yuan.

Although that palm had not truly landed just then, she had already sustained heavy injuries, far more serious than the last time in the North Sea.

Yu Yuan wasn't stingy, directly handing over Star Fruits, Ren Shui Peaches, Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, Enlightenment Tea leaves, and other Spirit Fruits and Spirit Pills, all at once.

After all, these items were like poison to him; giving them away didn't pain his heart in the slightest.

Moreover, Fairy Miao Yuan had gotten injured while helping him.

Seeing him freely giving away so many precious Spirit Fruits and Spirit Pills, Fairy Miao Yuan couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart, but then her expression changed abruptly, and she whispered with lingering fear, "That palm strike just now left me without any strength to resist, could it be that..."

Yu Yuan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking."

Fairy Miao Yuan's face drastically altered, feeling an impulse to turn and flee.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and from the east, clouds of various colors gathered from all directions, causing the radiance of the Taiyang Star to gradually dim.

Then, an aura of supreme sanctity pervaded the surroundings.

A gold-gleaming auspicious cloud floated slowly from the eastern horizon, bringing a gentle breeze with it.

Atop that cloud stood a middle-aged Daoist with black hair and a long beard, wearing a Jade Lotus Crown, and dressed in a Golden Silk Jade Luminous Robe.

He held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand, his thin lips pressed together, his chiseled face revealing no emotions, only a sense of nobility and authority emanating from him.

He sat high on the back of a gigantic Kui beast, eyes half-closed, his demeanor grave, exuding a majestic presence.

The Kui beast, with hair like green jade, coiled between Heaven and Earth, with golden light twinkling in its eyes and emitting a rainbow of luminescence, as if reflecting the entire sky in a resplendent and colorful light.

As he descended, the landscape between Heaven and Earth began to transform.

Auspicious energy rose, auspicious clouds floated about, and the stars shone brilliantly. Thunder roared in the sky, shaking all directions. The earth trembled, rivers surged, as if welcoming the arrival of the Merit Saint of the Heavenly Dao.

With his arrival, all things between Heaven and Earth seemed to be immersed in a solemn and reverent atmosphere. An invisible force seemed to be inspiring all beings to hold respect and awe in their hearts.

At this moment, countless Immortal Gods watching from the shadows all bent their bodies to pay homage, their voices in unison creating a wave that echoed between Heaven and Earth.

"Praise Pangu Yuqing Primordial Heavenly Venerate!"

"This poor Daoist pays respects to the Master Saint!"

"I pay my respects to Yuqing Saint!"

Randeng Taoist and "Start Qilin" both spoke in a respectful tone, making their salutations.

Yu Yuan, Zhao Gongming, and the three Xiaos exchanged glances and also bowed respectfully.

The expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face was solemn and awe-inspiring.

He looked at Yu Yuan, and without any visible action, the Yellow Flag in the latter's hand flew away, returning to Randeng Taoist's possession.

Yu Yuan pursed his lips but did not say anything.

He felt that at times like this, one should return what is owed from the heart.

If he were to clash with a Saint over a Yellow Flag of no use to him, that would truly be madness.

Yu Yuan was not a person of low profile, but he would only be high-profile within his abilities.

Facing a Saint, he still exercised utmost caution.

Now, the gaze of Yuanshi Tianzun had moved away from Yu Yuan, turning towards Randeng and the Golden Hoop Immortal in the distance.

Under his gaze, the Golden Hoop Immortal, who was hitherto reeling from drunkenness, instantly stiffened up, as if he sobered up from a deep stupor.

Seizing the opportunity, Nanji Immortal quickly mustered his long-accumulated mana and rode an auspicious cloud into the air.

The expression of the Golden Hoop Immortal shifted slightly, as if he hesitated to recite his spell.

But in the end, he did nothing.

Nanji Immortal stepped on the auspicious cloud and slowly approached Yuanshi Tianzun, then he knelt down with a softening of his knees and cried, "Disciple pays respects to the Master. Those Jie Sect disciples have gone too far. I beg the Master to uphold justice!"

Yuanshi Tianzun remained non-committal, merely pointing a finger at him, and the three Golden Hoops on Nanji Immortal's head, neck, and waist loosened and opened up.

Simultaneously, the Golden Hoop Immortal screamed miserably, his energy rapidly declining.

These three Golden Hoops were his Lifebound Spiritual Treasures, and being forcibly broken, it also caused him great harm.

Seeing this scene, a flash of anger passed through Zhao Gongming's eyes as he looked up to Yuanshi Tianzun and said loudly, "Is the Second Martial Uncle intending to bully the weak?"

Before the words were finished, Yuanshi Tianzun glanced over, and said indifferently, "Speaking out of line, disrespecting your elders, you deserve a slap!"

With that, he waved his hand slightly, and Zhao Gongming was sent flying backward.

"Big brother!"

"Senior brother!"

Several cries of alarm sounded.

Everyone was surprised that the Saint would strike their juniors with barely a word.

"How dare you harm my big brother!"

Seeing Zhao Gongming being struck, Bi Xiao's anger rose from her heart, and her bravery surged. Without thinking, she immediately conjured the Golden Jiao Scissors.

Two golden Jiaos twisted in the air like scissors, head to head and tail to tail, descending towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Bi Xiao!"

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao, Yu Yuan, and others were startled.

To dare to strike at a Saint was incredibly bold!
