It let out a tremendous roar!
Suddenly, the six Desolate Gods who were fighting against the Star Lord of Yanyang, Martial Venerable Canglang, and others suddenly broke away from the battlefield and flew out.
Seemingly sensing the fierce battle outside, suddenly, astonishing auras erupted from multiple locations within the stone palace of the Dutian Divine Fiend Array.
Streams of energy, like smoke from battle, shot into the sky and relentlessly bombarded the prison!
One peak-level Human Immortal, two peak-level Human Immortals! Three peak-level Human Immortals... one Creator... and so on and so forth...
Dozens of auras were trying their best to break free from the cage!
Even if six more Desolate Gods came, they would only suffer the same fate, being taken into the Ark of Creation.
After collecting the twelve Desolate Gods, Hong Xuanji returned to the Creation Ship and coldly observed the riot in the silent Heavenly Prison.
Then, the last seal inside the Silent Heavenly Prison slowly cracked open because the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was no longer suppressing it.
A terrifying black aura shot into the sky, and the deepest cage in the deathly silence of the prison began to collapse continuously. The soaring black aura corroded everything, as if the life force of all organic matter had been absorbed into it.
The God-King Gouli, whom Jiang Liu wanted to subdue, has appeared.
Chapter 472 Xu Yi Makes His Move
At the same time that Gou Li God King appeared, Pan Xing of the Central World also discovered the anomaly of the Silent Heavenly Prison.
The Silent Heavenly Prison is a crucial location in the Central World, constantly under surveillance. Any unusual activity is reported to the Eight Ministers, or even the leader, Xu Yi.
The Eight Ministers of the Central World oversee the entire Central World. Although their strength is not top-tier, their status is only below that of the leader, Xu Yi.
Even if they weren't top-tier experts, each minister was at least at the level of flesh and blood evolution.
"Not good! The seal on the God-King Gouli in the Silent Heavenly Prison is getting weaker and weaker. She is about to break free!" Minister Shennong's divine sense moved and he was the first to notice the abnormality in the Silent Heavenly Prison. He immediately contacted the other seven ministers and hurriedly said.
"Where did Void go! He's the one guarding this Deathly Silence Prison!" The Minister of Creation also exclaimed excitedly.
"Never mind him, let's set off immediately to suppress the God King!" the Minister of the Sky, the Minister of the Ocean, and the Minister of the Land roared at the same time.
However, the Silent Heavenly Prison is far from the Central Star, and it would take some time for them to arrive. A distant solution cannot quench an immediate thirst; they cannot stop the God-King Gouli from breaking the seal.
"...Without the Twelve Desolate Gods and the suppression of the Void One, the seal of the Heavenly Gods and Demons has loosened. If this God King wanted to escape, it would be as easy as turning his hand! Gou Li Po Hun, Li Xi, Li Xi, I was lost in the ancient times, the heavens and earth are vast and deep, I know not where I am going..."
A long sigh emanated from the "Silent Heavenly Prison," followed by a deafening "bang." A stone palace and a mountain suddenly split open, and a graceful female figure leaped out from within.
Within the nine divine eyes of the future lord in the Ark of Creation, the graceful figure of this woman had hair that was thousands of feet long, like a green waterfall or river, truly giving the impression of "three thousand feet of black hair."
Jiang Liu had never seen anyone with hair that long before, and the woman in front of him was obviously not human.
Especially since the woman was wearing a loose-fitting dress made entirely of royal blue silk gauze, a mysterious, pure, and deep blue that seemed to be the most potent, alluring, and deadly poison in the world.
Then, Jiang Liu saw the woman's face clearly, and four words came to mind: "A beautiful woman is a source of trouble."
Compared to Medusa from "Battle Through the Heavens" and Xiaoqian from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," this woman's face is enough to poison any man in the world—a poison of love and lust.
In stark contrast to the simplicity and purity of the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan, they represent two extremes.
Even more mysteriously, ten tails grew from the woman's buttocks. These ten tails were all sapphire blue and several miles long. They danced in the air and fluttered behind the woman like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
This is certainly not human; it is even more mysterious than the "King of Terror."
This is the most mysterious god-king among the ancient god-kings, and also the only female god-king, "Gouli God-King".
With Jiang Liu's deliberate intervention, the seal was finally broken, and he was freed.
As soon as the "God King Gou Li" broke free, he let out a long, soft chant, flicked his three-thousand-foot-long black hair, and swept it through the air toward the guards of the Silent Heavenly Prison.
Jiang Liu steered the Creation Ship far away from this star field where even starlight had dried up. There were those rioting prisoners and the ancient God-King Gou Li. Although her strength had dropped significantly, if no truly powerful figure intervened, the eight ministers would have had a hard time keeping her there.
Just as Jiang Liu was preparing to watch a good show from afar, an unknown force suddenly pierced through countless passages from beyond the heavens, directly opening a spacetime gate that was a hundred miles high. Within the gate, the shadow of Xu Yi, the leader of the Outer Heavens, appeared. He punched down, and his mountain-sized hand grabbed at the hair of Gou Li God King.
The most powerful leader in the central world of the Outer Heavens, whose name also contains the character "Yi," Xu Yi, carrying the thoughts of the Yang God, descended upon the Silent Star in his true form!
Jiang Liu's breath hitched. After several years apart, Xu Yi had reappeared in his sight.
It was as terrifying as ever.
Terrifying!
Although Xu Yi only grasped Pan Huang's Yang Shen thoughts, it was already extremely terrifying.
In that brief exchange, Jiang Liu realized that although the difference between him and the Yang God seemed to be only one realm, the real gap was an unfathomable abyss, a difference between quantitative and qualitative change.
"As expected of the leader of the Central World, this is his true power. The only people I fear besides the old monster in the Land of Origin and the Tomb of the Philosophers are him."
The leader of the Central World, Xu Yi, descended upon the Dead Star. He opened his palm, which was as big as a mountain, and forcefully grabbed and pulled at the three thousand feet of black hair of the God King Gou Li. His power even suppressed the God King Gou Li's power for a moment.
However, just as he was about to suppress Gouli God King with a single palm strike, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look in the direction where the Creation Ship was hidden, and frowned slightly.
Although there was nothing in that void, it could not hide it from him.
Xu Yi suddenly turned around and looked in Jiang Liu's direction. Their eyes met for a fraction of a second.
What kind of eyes are these? They carry the vastness of antiquity, the emptiness of the universe, mystery, profundity, and contain the will of heaven and earth, as well as a sense of domination, nurturing, and compassion for humanity.
Seeing those eyes, Jiang Liu suddenly felt that the other person was the father of all living beings in the world, the "Heavenly Father," and that everything was derived from him.
Even if it were Emperor Yang Pan, Hong Xuanji would not have such a "fatherly" look in his eyes. All living beings, including heaven and earth, are his sons and must submit to his father's majesty.
Jiang Liu had seen this kind of look before, in the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Fire Cloud Cave, and in the eyes of the Three Emperors.
"This, how many people must one rule to cultivate such an aura!"
With the loving kindness of a son and the majesty of a father towards the entire universe and all things, what else could it be but "Heavenly Father"?
This kind of temperament is something that no one in the "Yang Shen" world has ever possessed throughout history.
Emperor Yang Pan did not have it, Hong Xuanji did not have it, and Meng Shenji did not have it either.
After that one glance, in a fraction of a second, Xu Yi attacked Jiang Liu.
"The Ship of Creation? Emperor Yang Pan, do you want to leave? Stay!"
A grand sound rang out, and within the space-time gate that spanned a hundred miles in radius, Xu Yi's gaze also turned to the Creation Ship outside the void. With his other hand, he pushed outwards, and instantly his five fingers transformed into five pillars of heaven, pressing down directly.
The enormous ship of creation appeared so tiny in front of these five fingers, like a fly, about to be squeezed in their hands.
"In the end, you were still one step behind. You couldn't see through me, so how could you suppress me!" Facing Xu Yi's attack, Jiang Liu remained calm and unmoved. With the Creation Boat, the king of artifacts, even if he couldn't defeat Xu Yi, he was still invincible.
If Emperor Yang Pan hadn't been careless and allowed Jiang Liu to get close that day, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.
Chapter 473 It is impolite not to reciprocate.
With less than half the strength of his peak, Gouli God King was not taken seriously by Xu Yi.
Compared to the emperor of the Central World, Xu Yi naturally valued Yang Pan and his minister Hong Xuanji far more, extremely so. With the Central Pan Star invading the Great Thousand World, these two were the greatest obstacle.
Xu Yi's ambition was even greater than that of Emperor Yang Pan, and his strength was also greater.
This can be seen from the fact that he abandoned Gouli God-King in an instant and launched an attack on the Creation Ship. Gouli God-King was just a fallen powerhouse. Although he still retained some of his strength and had reached the realm of flesh and blood regeneration, he was no longer a threat.
Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji, the son of the Great Thousand, are different. They possess great fortune and blessings, making them the chosen ones of this era. With each passing day, their strength has the potential to surge. They are like the rising sun, already showing their brilliance. Although they have not yet reached their zenith, becoming the blazing sun in the sky that no one dares to look directly at, no one, including Xu Yi, doubts that the two of them have the potential to dominate the world.
As for the God-King Gouli, he is already in his twilight years, and this world is no longer the place where the five ancient God-Kings once roamed freely.
The way of Heaven has changed.
This era is not the era of the ancient demon gods. Even if the immortal god king breaks free, Xu Yi is not worried that she can turn the world upside down.
This sky is no longer the sky of the ancient demon gods.
Xu Yi attacked Gou Li, the God-King, with ease and without a doubt that she could escape from his grasp. However, his attack on the Ark of Creation was much more serious.
Five fingers, five pillars of heaven. Representing the heavens and the earth, just like the Five Finger Mountain that Buddha used to suppress Sun Wukong during his havoc in the Heavenly Palace, possessing the power to suppress all things in heaven and earth.
"Unfortunately, you are not a true Yang God! A single step can make all the difference. Just because you have grasped Pan Huang's Yang God thoughts doesn't mean you are Pan Huang..."
A cold smile appeared in the eyes of Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji. This Xu Yi actually abandoned the battle with Gou Li God King and actually spared his strength to suppress them. How could things be so easy? Xu Yi was powerful, but he was not a Yang God master after all. He could only be considered a peak of the ninth tribulation. Jiang Liu even vaguely sensed that this leader's physical body had not been cultivated to the level of Thousand Transformations, but only to the level of flesh and blood derivative.
The realm of ever-changing transformations is something Jiang Liu has never encountered, not even in the world of Yangshen, let alone in "Journey to the West" or "Covering the Sky." However, based on the information collected by the "Lord of the Future," and the creation of countless models of powerful figures in the world of Yangshen, his cheap disciple Hong Yi will inevitably reach the realm of ever-changing transformations and even the shattering of the vacuum in the future.
Aside from the old monsters in the Tomb of the Hundred Schools of Thought, among the new generation of strong individuals, only Void One has a 100% chance of reaching the realm of the Thousand Transformations. However, he only cultivates martial arts, achieving unity of spirit and body, and his mind can annihilate everything, which is inferior to Hong Yi's dual cultivation of martial arts and spirit.
How powerful is the physical body?
Once the physical body reaches a certain level, even a Yang God cannot completely obliterate it; they can only be sealed away. Just like the five ancient god-kings, even the Longevity Emperor could only use the Immortal Monument to seal them away, letting time completely erase them.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the five great god-kings who once shattered their vacuum bodies have not died completely. Their strength has only dropped to the level of flesh and blood, demonstrating the strength of their physical bodies. This strength is not the power of supernatural abilities or the Dao, but rather pure and simple physical power.
When this power reaches its extreme, it becomes Pangu's "proof of the Dao through force"!
The strength of the physical body is enough to transform into a vast world.
After Pangu separated heaven and earth, the breath he exhaled became wind and clouds, his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his hands, feet and body became the four poles and five directions of famous mountains on earth, his blood became rivers, his veins became roads, his muscles became fields, his hair became stars in the sky, the body hair on his body became flowers, grass and trees, and his teeth, bones, marrow and so on all became shining metals, hard stones and warm and smooth jade. Even the sweat from his body, which was the most useless thing, became clear dew and sweet rain.
This is the terrifying aspect of proving one's path through force: one's body becomes the world.
Although Jiang Liu's physical body is still far from the terrifying physical realm of Pangu, he has embarked on the path of attaining enlightenment through physical means.
Therefore, although the leader Xu Yi is powerful, he is not powerful enough to crush Jiang Liu with one blow. Even in a one-on-one fight, the outcome will only be known after the battle.
Although Jiang Liu was always cautious, it did not mean that he denied his own strength.
Bang!
Faced with these five fingers resembling pillars of heaven, the "Ark of Creation" merely spun slightly. Countless talismans flashed on its surface, and a beam of immense light crashed down. This beam possessed a noble, bright yellow hue, its sharpness tempered with unparalleled weight. Its impact was in no way inferior to Xu Yi's power. Countless terrifying energies erupted from it, like ten thousand swords unleashed simultaneously, instantly shredding the five fingers to dust.
"It's only polite to reciprocate! Xu Yi, you'd better take this finger strike from me too!"
Within the Ark of Creation, the towering pillars of light, tens of thousands of feet high, rapidly shifted, finally transforming into a gigantic finger imbued with an ancient aura. This finger, almost tangible, was covered in countless battle runes, and an overwhelming fighting spirit swept across the heavens and earth. The gigantic finger descended from the void, instantly shattering the sky, collapsing into black holes, and sending countless spatial fragments hurtling towards the heavens. The entire world seemed to be on the verge of destruction under that single finger.
"Amazing! Who is this person? He actually broke through Xu Yi's Five Finger Divine Skill in one go!" The God King Gou Li, with his three thousand feet of black hair and ten tails, and his stunning beauty, felt a tremendous power. When he turned around, he saw a mysterious large ship shattering Xu Yi's Five Finger True Qi and launching a counterattack. He was shocked.
"That's the Ship of Creation?!"
Although she was an ancient god-king and had seen many powerful figures, the Creation Ship, the king of divine artifacts, was the king of divine artifacts in the Dao of Creation even in ancient times, possessing supreme power.
In that chaotic world of gods and demons, in the ancient times when the Yang God was endless, the Ship of Creation also shone with dazzling light. Together with the Eternal Kingdom of the Supreme Dao and the Immortal Monument forged by the Emperor of Longevity, it was known as the King of the Three Great Divine Artifacts.
How could the God-King Gouli not recognize him!
"The Dao of Creation has been passed down for tens of thousands of years without ceasing. The Ship of Creation was destroyed back then, but it has actually been re-formed..." Gou Li God King's eyes flickered.
