The Profound Maiden would not awaken so easily. No matter how grand the spectacle outside, there was still no sign of movent from Her.
However, Her statue was of the utmost importance, so She had naturally prepared nurous defensive asures in advance to guard against any enemy who might suddenly invade and destroy it.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Tang and Ning Yuexi burst in and hid beside the statue, the sky-blotting hand coalesced by the Demon Spirit Ancestor ca crashing down, viciously attempting to snatch them away. The statue automatically emitted a dazzling radiance, forming a protective barrier of light that directly withstood the massive hand. Seeing this, Lin Tang seized the opportunity to strike. His flying sword transford into countless threads that viciously shredded the massive hand, turning it to dust.
"Hmph!"
The Demon Spirit Ancestor had not expected his hateful blow to fail against a re Golden Core cultivator. Surprise quickly gave way to unbridled rage. He began to chant, preparing to unleash a powerful attack, all while surveying the space around him.
Eh? This aura… could it be the Profound Maiden?
The thought had just crossed His mind when, outside, the Grand Preceptor looked up. Through the spatial tear, she stared indignantly at His phantom. Although she couldn't identify Him by appearance alone, as a Favored One of the Profound Maiden, she had enough confidence to challenge the avatar of a deity.
"Halt! What manner of minor god are you to so brazenly intrude upon Lady Profound Maiden's sacred ground? You attack without so much as a greeting! This is a complete disgrace and utterly shaless! Retreat at once! When Lady Profound Maiden awakens, She will not spare you!"
"What?"
The Demon Spirit Ancestor could hardly believe His ears. A re mortal dared to speak to Him like this? Even among the gods, He was one of the most ancient in terms of seniority. The Profound Maiden herself would have to address Him as 'Senior Brother' out of respect. This was preposterous!
"You lowly mortal, you dare commit blasphemy? Die!"
The Demon Spirit Ancestor imdiately split his attack, one part continuing its assault on Lin Tang, the other hurtling toward the Grand Preceptor.
Ordinarily, the Grand Preceptor would have been powerless to resist. However, as a Favored One of the Profound Maiden, she held authority over the entire Yaochi Heavenly Palace. While she might be easily bullied by Lin Tang in the mortal realm, even in her carriage-type Magic Artifact, things were different here. Within her domain, she invoked her authority, unleashing the full might of Space Power to block the Demon Spirit Ancestor's attack.
She could even counterattack. She pointed her staff across the void at the Demon Spirit Ancestor's phantom. The Space Power surged, forcibly compressing the spatial tear and causing it to slowly seal shut.
anwhile, Lin Tang, aided by the protective asures the Profound Maiden had left on the statue, once again repelled the Demon Spirit Ancestor's assault. Seeing the Grand Preceptor locked in a struggle with the Demon Spirit Ancestor, he grinned.
"Honey, quick! While they're busy fighting, let's keep absorbing!"
He even tried to communicate with the Yin Yang Mirror lying dormant inside him. "Buddy, wake up! Ti to party! This is a rare delicacy; it'd be a waste not to absorb it!"
Ning Yuexi and the Yin Yang Mirror were left speechless.
Is it really okay to use one enemy against another like this? Aren't you afraid they'll join forces and attack you?
But Lin Tang had accurately judged the Demon Spirit Ancestor's pride and disdain for explanation. A lofty god wouldn't deign to waste words on a re ant. How undignified would that be?
Seeing the spatial tear about to close, the Demon Spirit Ancestor naturally wouldn't allow it. He once again gathered His Reach Profound Power and, from an infinite distance, tore the spatial tear open again, making it even larger.
If the Yaochi Heavenly Palace were a giant egg, this new tear was like a massive hole cracked into the top of its shell. The Demon Spirit Ancestor's enormous face and head forced their way through the opening. He roared, and the resulting shockwaves shuddered through the realm.
Rows of luxurious palace walls collapsed. Mountains trembled and boulders fractured. It was like the end of the world.
When had the many humans living here ever witnessed such a scene? Panicked, they fell to their knees and began to pray, calling out unceasingly for the Profound Maiden to awaken.
The Grand Preceptor's face was ashen as she struggled to hold on. She desperately channeled her scepter to wrestle with the Demon Spirit Ancestor's phantom, trying to push Him back out.
This deity has no past grievances or recent enmity with Lady Profound Maiden, so why is He so determined to attack and tear away all pretense of civility? Is He insane?
At this mont, she was still unaware that Lin Tang, like a mouse stealing rice, was the one causing all the trouble from the deepest part of the palace. If she knew, she would have likely exploded with rage. *You're the one who caused this disaster, and you're making us clean up your ss! Have you no sha?*
Lin Tang couldn't care less. He continued to urge the Yin Yang Mirror to absorb the energy.
Good heavens. The Yin Yang Mirror, truly befitting an Immortal Artifact, held nothing back. Once activated, it began to draw in energy like a dragon-whale inhaling the sea. Though Spiritual Energy was normally invisible, the sheer efficiency of its absorption was so high that the concentrated energy began to manifest with faint colors.
When the Demon Spirit Ancestor saw this "thief" brazenly robbing Him right under His nose, His rage beca uncontrollable. Originally empty-handed, He decisively summoned a branch-shaped Magic Artifact. Its tip was adorned with what looked like pearls and agate, shimring with a magnificent, multicolored light.
It looked deceptively light.
With a single sweep, a brilliant radiance erupted. Wherever the light passed, it annihilated everything in its path, reducing it to a chaotic void.
SPURT!
The Grand Preceptor spat out a mouthful of blood as her scepter shattered inch by inch. Just as the entire space was on the brink of annihilation and all its inhabitants faced certain death…
The Profound Maiden… had finally awakened!
"How dare you?!"
Before She could even get a clear look at Her foe, She saw that Her ho was about to be destroyed. In Her fury, She unleashed Her own ultimate attack without hesitation.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Catastrophic powers collided, grinding against each other inside and outside the spatial tear, regardless of which of the two was truly stronger.
