Wu Fatian sneered inwardly. Who said you can't attack while in the Immovable Mountain state?
It seems the battle can end before the Eight Heavenly Dragons even arrive!
boom!
The ground beneath Zhongli Mei's feet sank, his legs instantly disappearing into the earth. At the same time, he unleashed his power and shouted, "Get out!"
Bang!
Wu Fatian, who was originally head up, was flipped over by Zhongli Mei's sword and his head was stuck into the ground next to him.
Wu Fatian, "..."
The Buddha System gasped in shock. This person's strength was comparable to that of a Vajra, yet he hadn't been killed by a mountain of gold?
Zhongli Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had the Overlord Card with the power to move mountains, and the God of Wine reminded him to unleash his full power, otherwise he would have been smashed into mincemeat just now.
Clang clang...
Zhongli Mei then aimed his sword at Wu Fatian's private parts and slashed several times, sparks flying, but he didn't hurt the other party at all. "So hard!"
Xuan Cheng unleashed a barrage of Shaolin martial arts techniques, striking his own hands until they ached. "It really is tough."
"Let's see if we can recycle it," Hao Jiu suggested.
"I'll do it." Zhongli Mei placed his palm on the golden statue. "Retract!"
However, this time it failed. Hao Jiu's second awakening recycling function could not directly recycle living things, but ghosts and the like could be freely transferred within the Emperor's Sword.
“This guy isn’t dead, so we can’t retrieve him. Keep attacking. Xiang Sheng and Han Xin’s army will be here soon.” Hao Jiu frowned. The opponent’s ability relies on willpower. As long as there are a large number of believers providing him with a continuous supply of willpower, he won’t be easy to kill.
The Overlord himself might still be able to try to break through with force, but even Zhongli Mei and Xiang Sheng combined might not be able to do it. This time, encountering such an opponent is truly troublesome.
Hao Jiu wanted to send people to destroy all the temples and kill all the monks in this plane, but he was afraid that Xiang Yu would not agree. Moreover, the magical power of vows can transcend time and space planes and can be received no matter how far away it is. No one can guarantee that the target system is only the plane of Buddha Zhao.
Wu Fatian, who was originally stuck upside down in the ground, has been dug out by Zhongli Mei. After all, most of his vital organs were buried in the soil, and exposing them made it easier for everyone to focus their fire.
Soon after, Xiang Sheng arrived and confidently used all sorts of profound techniques, but still couldn't do anything to Wu Fatian, who remained as immovable as a mountain.
"Hmph, so he's that twin-sword brat. He's nothing special. Once the Eight Heavenly Dragons arrive, twelve against three, they'll easily wipe him out!" Wu Fatian said fiercely.
Then.
Han Xin arrived with 10,000 Divine Guards and joined the mob beating of the statue. The brutal beating caused Wu Fatian and the Buddha System's power of will to drop rapidly. If the Eight Heavenly Dragons didn't arrive soon, their power of will would be exhausted sooner or later.
"Buddha, won't those twelve Heavenly Dragons be scared away by this formation?" Wu Fatian felt like crying and couldn't help but sigh, "The Buddhist tribulation is indeed difficult to overcome. No wonder so few people become Buddhas."
"No, the Eight Heavenly Dragons, especially the Second Heavenly Dragon Division, are exceptionally powerful. Even if the enemy outnumbers us, there's nothing to fear."
The Buddha System secretly observed that the later elite troops were all quite strong, taking turns to attack Wu Fatian with all their might. The more than 10,000 people were mobilized and operated smoothly, and the commander was no ordinary person either.
In fact, Han Xin did not send all 10,000 men at once. The rotation was to select the elite of the elite from among these 10,000 men to cooperate with Xiang Sheng, Zhongli Mei, and Xuan Cheng.
With such a treasure as the stamina potion, it's impossible to get tired. The problem is that the stone statue where Wu Fatian sits is too small, and there are too many people to move around freely.
Most people set up camp on the perimeter to guard against interference with the target. After all, if the other party dared to sit there and take a beating so brazenly, they must have some confidence and backup plans.
Just then, a rainbow appeared in the sky, flashing intermittently, indicating that someone was attacking the plane.
"Hahaha... The Eight Heavenly Dragons have arrived!" the Buddha System exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing the imposing aura in the sky, Wu Fatian instantly felt relieved. The Eight Heavenly Dragons were true gods, and these mortals who were besieging him were still just mortals no matter how strong they were!
Hao Jiu frowned. He already knew that the dimensional blockade could actually be broken from the outside, but the cost would be considerable, and it could only tear open a one-way passage to send people in from the outside.
To completely break the dimensional blockade, we need to find the dimensional blockade item to shut it down or destroy it; otherwise, those who enter later will not be able to get out.
Of course, the strength of those who can break in from the outside must be terrifying; it's impossible for them to just give away easy kills.
"If that's the case, then I'll add another layer of insurance." With that thought, Hao Jiu decisively created a cloud of eternal night, which then formed a hollow structure, enveloping the area, including the ten thousand Divine Martial Guards, inside.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Twelve figures broke through the dimensional barrier and rushed straight towards the Eternal Night Cloud on the ground.
Thump thump thump~
They all flew away.
After the twelve exchanged a few words in secret, one of the well-dressed, middle-aged deities, with his hands clasped together, came before the cloud and said:
"Breaking the barrier just now has exhausted most of our magical power. This cloud is extraordinary and extremely difficult to break through. If you want us to take action again, you will need to give us ten times the power of your will!"
"Ten times the power of vows is no problem, but could it be..." The Buddha System cursed inwardly. At this point, let alone ten times the power of vows, it didn't even have one. This was truly an outrageous demand.
"The Eight Heavenly Dragons refuse credit; bring your vow power! If you don't have it, then don't blame us. High God of the Clouds, we are disciples of the Eight Heavenly Dragons undergoing training. We merely wish to use this plane for a competition, and will leave afterward. We hope you will open the dimensional passage to allow us to depart. The Eight Heavenly Dragons will be eternally grateful. Farewell!" The middle-aged deity bowed respectfully, and then...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The twelve members of the Eight Heavenly Dragons split into two teams and flew off in different directions, leaving decisively. They truly came and went in a hurry.
Hao Jiu blinked. "Looks like the Overlord won't need to personally intervene this time. Minions, keep smashing!"
Buddha System, "..."

Chapter 459 Shocking Change
When the Zhao army, which was on its way to punish the rebels, arrived at Licheng, the generals learned of Shi Hu's assassination.
Shi Hu's sixth son, Shi Bin, scoffed, "Father was frightened by the assassination attempt? What a joke! I will return to Ye City immediately. You all keep the army in check."
"Well then. Uh, Your Highness, how many troops will you be taking back to Ye City this time?" the adjutant asked.
"I'm going back to see my father. What troops should I bring? My guards can come with me." Shi Bin guessed that Shi Hu was definitely not just frightened, and was likely not long for this world, but he might also have only suffered some minor injuries.
If they were only slightly injured or frightened, wouldn't it be tantamount to treason to lead the army back at this time?
So Shi Bin led over a hundred guards back to Ye City on horseback. His father had been assassinated, so what was wrong with his son coming back to check on him and show concern? He figured that little kid Shi Shi wouldn't dare do anything to him.
However, Shi Bin soon paid the price for his underestimation of his enemy, and was killed after returning to Ye City.
Although Shi Shi was young, he had a good mother, Empress Liu, and a powerful minister named Zhang Chai who had ulterior motives to protect him.
However, Empress Liu and Zhang Chai's joy was short-lived. Shi Hu's ninth son, Shi Zun, returned with a large army and gained the support of Yao Yizhong, Fu Hong, Shen Zhong, Li Nong, and Shi Ran, thus taking control of the Zhao state.
When the news of Shi Hu's death spread, the people of Zhao secretly cheered, but they did not place much hope on Shi Zun. How much better could Shi Hu's son be?
At the same time, the Murong clan of the Xianbei in Yan launched a major attack on Zhao. Emperor Murong Jun of Yan personally led the expedition, and all the elites of Yan, including Murong Ke, Murong Ping, Murong Chui, Yang Wu, and Mu Yugen, were mobilized.
The impending war between Yan and Zhao left other countries completely bewildered.
Only Hao Jiu knew the truth: this was likely a trial for the disciples of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, a battle to determine the victor through mortal warfare.
One side is the heavens, the other is the dragons, and the other six tribes will also be involved. The Asuras will definitely be on the opposite side of the gods, while those tribes that feed on dragons and snakes will definitely be on the opposite side of the dragons.
But in Hao Jiu's view, this battle between the two dragons seems to have a deeper meaning behind it, and the two sides have no choice but to fight.
Hao Jiu estimated that the plane where the Eight Heavenly Dragons were located must be a high-level plane, otherwise how could a few disciples undergoing training be able to break through the plane's blockade?
Because of Yongye Yun's obstruction, the other party couldn't figure out their true strength, so they politely made peace with Hao Jiu and betrayed the Buddha System and Wu Fatian.
Therefore, Hao Jiu did not intend to interfere with the battle between the two sides. After killing the target system, he would open the dimensional blockade. If the Eight Heavenly Dragons really left after the competition as they said, everyone would leave each other alone and consider it a good deed.
As for saving the people of this plane, let's talk about that after the Eight Heavenly Dragons and their group of experts leave.
In fact, after Shi Hu's death, the fighting in the north was even fiercer than it is now, and Shi Zun, with the help of Shi Ran, also seized control of the Zhao state.
However, Shi Zun persuaded Shi Ran by promising to make him the crown prince, but later broke his promise and made Shi Yan the crown prince instead, which aroused Shi Ran's dissatisfaction and deepened the conflict between the two.
A few months later, Shi Zun planned to kill Shi Ran, but was betrayed by Shi Jian and killed by Shi Ran instead. Shi Zun changed his surname from Shi to Li. Li Jian ascended the throne for 103 days, but was deposed and killed for trying to get rid of Li Ran.
After this, Li Ran restored his original name, Ran Min, and exterminated the Shi clan of Jie people. However, there were too many Jie people, and some eventually escaped and fled to the Yan state established by the Xianbei Murong clan, which is historically known as the Former Yan.
Two years later, Ran Min was defeated and killed, and the Former Yan state dominated the north. However, ten years later, it was destroyed by the Former Qin state, which was established by the Di people, who were also among the Five Barbarian tribes.
However, this was only the beginning, and the chaotic situation lasted for nearly seventy years before it finally ended.
In short, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period was a chaotic period, which ultimately led to the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Therefore, Hao Jiu's ability to resolve this situation during the struggle between Yan and Qin was tantamount to saving countless people from suffering for seventy or eighty years.
Of course, Xiang Yu definitely wanted to sweep through the Buddha-Zhao plane with swift and decisive measures, otherwise he wouldn't have sent 10,000 Divine Guards.
The problem is that the people fighting in the Buddha Zhao plane are Xiang Sheng, Zhongli Mei, Xuan Cheng, Han Xin, and others. Even after the Shadow System was enhanced, it was still much weaker than the Buddha System.
As a result, even after besieging Wu Fatian's immovable golden body for several days, they were unable to kill him, as if his willpower was inexhaustible.
Hao Jiu was almost certain that this Buddha system must have many other Buddha kingdoms, and even other means to rapidly increase the number of believers, otherwise it would never have lasted this long.
In fact, Wu Fatian would have been killed as soon as Xiang Yu arrived, but unfortunately, Xiang Yu was temporarily unable to leave the cultivation world.
Of the six sects in Yue Kingdom, besides the Hundred Refinements Sect and the Pill Spirit Sect, Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu also sent people there, while Zhong Ling took her Lightning Sable to Jade Beast Mountain.
As for Moon Sword Sect, Qingxu Temple, and Heavenly Soul Valley, these three sects with Nascent Soul cultivators all selected disciples who were rather miserable and had little sense of belonging to the sect, but were of excellent character and temperament.
Originally, Xiang Yu and the others' cultivation had been on the right track. Wu Ning had a powerful backer and was thriving in the Hundred Refinements Sect. Several people who tried to scheme against him were all killed.
Needless to say, Wu Xingyun was accepted as a personal disciple by the Grand Elder shortly after joining the Danling Sect, where he was taught the supreme Dao of Alchemy.
You should know that alchemy is a profession that requires practice; the more you practice, the higher your skill level becomes, and Wu Xingyun has no shortage of medicinal herbs.
The indigenous people who were recruited later also began to make a comeback and gradually improved.
But at this moment, a major event occurred in the cultivation world: the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom was invaded!
This shouldn't have happened, but it did happen for no apparent reason, and the only three Nascent Soul cultivators in the Yue Kingdom were unable to intervene.
If they were to intervene, the consequences would be even more severe, because this invasion of the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world involved nearly thirty cultivation sects from four neighboring countries, along with more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators.
Of course, even if the Nascent Soul cultivators don't make a move, the Yue Kingdom still has no chance of winning, as the number of Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators is also vastly different.
From the initial failure of negotiations, to abandoning the mountain gate and preparing to migrate, to abandoning the migration and intending to surrender and merge into other sects, to the other party's refusal, and the fact that all sects in Yue Kingdom were fully prepared for war and ready to fight to the death, every cultivator in Yue Kingdom understood.
This invasion is no ordinary one; it's not about seizing cultivation resources, but rather about annihilating them.
Although Xiang Yu and his group were not in any real danger in the perilous place, after some investigation, they learned that the cause of the incident was that the Path to Heaven had been severed and the teleportation array had been lost!
This plane is not only the Zhongyuan Continent, but also the only teleportation array for all forces to reach the upper realm. If the Zhongyuan Continent cannot provide a reasonable explanation, then it will be a great war between the continents.
Fortunately, the Central Plains Continent was the strongest, and after an investigation yielded no results, they could only find a scapegoat. The Yue Kingdom, where the teleportation array was located, suffered a tragedy.
The crucial point is that by then it's too late to return the teleportation array!
