Facing that axe strike which seemed capable of splitting apart the world itself, the expressions of Ghost Emperor and the other five Immortal Grade experts drastically changed.
"Do not hold back. Go all out!"
Ghost Emperor roared angrily as he was the first to unleash all of his spiritual energy.
"Netherworld Destruction Divine Light!"
The gigantic ghostly figure behind him let out a roar before opening its mouth and spitting out a pale white pillar of spiritual light.
At the same time, Ancestor Danyang, Violet Lightning Venerable, and the others also fully activated their Sovereign Celestial Bodies, each unleashing their own Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities!
However, unlike in the original story, without Mohe You's Ancient Divine Union Mirror, the attacks of the five could only fight independently and could not merge together.
One had to know that the spiritual energies of all five were incomparably tyrannical and each possessed different attributes. If they collided together, repulsion would inevitably occur!
In other words, the five great experts Liu Bai faced now were actually weaker than the version Mu Chen had faced in the original story.
Even so, the attacks of these five experts could instantly kill an initial phase Immortal Grade expert, while even a middle phase Immortal Grade expert would be heavily injured if struck head on.
At this moment, the entire world fell into dead silence.
Countless gazes stared at the battlefield in the sky which seemed separated from them by two entirely different worlds, silently awaiting the result of this clash.
Then, beneath countless gazes, that heaven splitting axe strike finally collided against the five pillars of spiritual light.
The instant they collided, the entire sky seemed to begin collapsing. An indescribable shockwave rampaged from the high heavens, and wherever it passed, space continuously shattered as though giant fractures had formed.
Everyone raised their heads and stared fixedly at the terrifying point of collision. There, the violent axe blade and the five different spiritual energies crazily clashed together, continuously eroding one another in an attempt to devour the other side.
However, because the five spiritual energies were not harmonious and had instead begun eroding each other, the expressions of Ghost Emperor and the others changed.
Liu Bai instantly seized this fleeting opportunity. The three Liu Bais simultaneously changed their hand seals, and in the next moment, the ancient god raised its head and let out a furious roar as the gigantic axe in its hand suddenly gained strength.
ROAR!!!
Amid that terrifying roar, the five spiritual lights were directly swept apart and annihilated by the gigantic axe!
The remaining power then directly slashed onto the five enormous Heavenly Sovereign Celestial Bodies. Under the shocked gazes of everyone, enormous wounds that could not heal appeared across the five gigantic Celestial Bodies!
Pfft!
With their Celestial Bodies damaged, Ghost Emperor and the others simultaneously spat out mouthfuls of blood as they were directly heavily injured by this strike!
"How is this possible?! The power of this attack has already surpassed some late phase Immortal Grade experts, hasn't it? What kind of Array is this exactly?!"
If Liu Bai heard his question, he would definitely tell him that this was the power of an ancient god refined from one and a half Heavenly Demon Emperor demon bodies. Even late phase Immortal Grade experts would find it difficult to block!
"This fellow is too troublesome. He's impossible to deal with!" Ancestor Danyang's face turned pale as fear appeared in his gaze toward Liu Bai from afar.
Clearly, he already had thoughts of retreat. The combat strength Liu Bai displayed was simply too terrifying.
The expressions of the others were also rather ugly. Today, even with the five of them joining forces, they had failed to gain the slightest advantage against Liu Bai. One could even say they had suffered a complete defeat. This was simply a complete loss of face.
Only Ghost Emperor maintained a gloomy expression, his gaze toward Liu Bai filled with unwillingness.
"How about we withdraw for today first?" City Lord Youxuan suddenly suggested.
The first exchange earlier had already caused him to develop fear toward Liu Bai. Now he felt even more that the latter was an insurmountable mountain, causing him to completely lose the will to continue fighting.
Violet Lightning Venerable and the others were also somewhat tempted upon hearing this. Spiritual energy began surging as they all prepared escape routes.
"Now you want to run?"
Liu Bai smiled faintly.
Suddenly, the Five Emperor divine patterns upon his spiritual body erupted with dazzling brilliance as five gigantic divine bodies stepped out from the divine patterns, suppressing the five regions of heaven and earth.
Peerless Divine Ability Five Emperor Gods. This was something Liu Bai had only recently condensed after obtaining the Five Emperor Celestial Body. It even incorporated the Five Emperor Gods left behind by Five Emperor Divine Venerable within the Immortal True Form Diagram, allowing it to directly reach the major accomplishment stage upon birth and suppress the universe!
"Five Elements Seal!"
As the Five Emperor divine bodies suppressed the world, terrifying sealing power transformed into five gigantic chains that directly bound the five great experts tightly.
"Not good, he wants to seal us?!"
Ghost Emperor's furious roar carried disbelief. Clearly, he had never expected Liu Bai to be so ruthless as to directly suppress and seal the five Heavenly Sovereigns!
Ancestor Danyang and the others sensed the terrifying sealing power emanating from the chains. Their expressions drastically changed as they hurriedly sat cross legged and began circulating all their spiritual energy to resist the sealing force.
Liu Bai smiled lightly before directly dispersing the great Array. Then he leaped into the space suppressed by the Five Emperor divine bodies and looked at the five figures floating within the space like five stars.
"Not bad. These Five Emperor divine bodies are now actually capable of suppressing and sealing even Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereigns. Looks like my 'Demon Hunting Plan' should officially begin."
This was also the first time Liu Bai had fully unleashed the power of the Five Emperor divine bodies.
The main reason he could suppress Immortal Grade experts beyond his cultivation level was because of the legacy left behind by Five Emperor Divine Venerable. Otherwise, if Liu Bai relied solely on himself to cultivate the Five Emperor Gods to this level, it would probably still require several more years.
As for the so called "Demon Hunting Plan," it referred to Liu Bai hunting Demon Emperors and using their bodies to strengthen his Twelve Allheaven Divine Fiend Great Array.
After all, the original conception of this Array was to refine it using the bodies of twelve Demon Emperors. Unfortunately, Liu Bai did not possess that many. He only had one and a half. So calling it "Twelve Divine Fiends" was somewhat undeserved. At most, it could only be called "One Point Five Divine Fiends."
Aside from the Demon Emperor bodies, Liu Bai actually also possessed a complete Heavenly Sovereign corpse. yes, it was precisely Patriarch Bodhi from before.
However, Heavenly Sovereign corpses were different from demon bodies. The two were fundamentally incompatible. Moreover, Liu Bai discovered that Patriarch Bodhi's corpse was extremely compatible with his Great Wheel Bright King Array. Therefore, he planned to refine Patriarch Bodhi's corpse into a Great Wheel Bright King Golden Body and elevate the original high level Grandmaster Array Great Wheel Bright King Array into a Great Grandmaster level Array.
This way, Liu Bai would possess three Great Grandmaster level Spiritual Arrays, and each one would be more powerful than the last. If other Spiritual Array Ancestor of the Great Thousand World learned of this, they would probably die from jealousy.
After all, Grandmaster Spiritual Arrays were not cabbages. Many Spiritual Array Ancestor only possessed one truly noteworthy Array to support themselves throughout their entire lives.
As these thoughts passed through his mind, Liu Bai's gaze swept across the five figures desperately resisting within the seal.
"Well? What do you all think of my Divine Ability?"
Hearing this, Ghost Emperor and the others glared furiously at Liu Bai. All of them were gnashing their teeth in rage, looking as though they wished they could bite Liu Bai to death.
"What? Not convinced?"
Liu Bai raised his brows as his voice turned cold.
The expressions of Ghost Emperor and the others instantly turned ashen. However, at this moment, they naturally dared not further provoke him and could only grit their teeth as Ghost Emperor spoke.
"This time, we admit defeat. Earlier, we were indeed in the wrong. We will directly withdraw from Skylaw Continent, and we can even publicly apologize before everyone to the Five Elements Divine Palace and Palace Master Liu. How about it?"
"Not good enough!" Liu Bai snorted coldly.
"Right now, I am the knife and you are the fish on the chopping board. Yet you think a few light words are enough for you to escape? How could there possibly be such a good thing!"
"Then what exactly do you want?!" Ghost Emperor roared angrily.
They had already completely thrown away their dignity, yet Liu Bai still refused to let the matter rest. Could it be that he truly intended to kill them?!
It was not that Liu Bai did not dare to kill them, but unless absolutely necessary, he did not wish to do so.
After all, the purpose of the Great Thousand Palace was to unite all the forces of the Great Thousand World to face the "Great Thousand Covenant" that occurred every thousand years. The fall of every Heavenly Sovereign was an enormous loss to the Great Thousand World.
Moreover, there was not much time left before this Great Thousand Covenant. Liu Bai also knew that this would be the final Great Thousand Covenant. The Feind clans would definitely seize this last opportunity to rescue the Evil God. As a Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace, unless absolutely forced into it, he also did not wish to begin a massacre within the Great Thousand World itself.
This was also the second reason why he had planned the "Demon Hunting Plan." He needed sufficient slaughter to bring himself experience points.
Since he could not slaughter internally, he could only turn his blade outward.
"How about this? Each of you hand over ten billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and one Peerless Saint Artifact as compensation to the Five Elements Divine Palace. Then you will voluntarily withdraw from Skylaw Continent, and I will let the matter rest."
"As for apologizing and such, there is no need for it. It will save you from losing face in front of outsiders as well."
"What?!"
Upon hearing these words, the faces of Ghost Emperor and the other four twitched violently. Ten billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and an Peerless Saint Artifact?
Even with their wealth, ten billion was no small amount. The many forces under their command would require nearly ten years to squeeze out such an amount.
After all, they also possessed enormous foundations, and their consumption was equally terrifying. Not to mention an Peerless Saint Artifact!
Not everyone was like Liu Bai, who had directly obtained two top tier Peerless Saint Artifacts before even breaking through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm. Even Spirit Grade Peerless Saint Artifacts were regarded as sect protecting treasures in many super forces. How could such things be casually handed over?!
Ghost Emperor's face turned ashen as he said, "Palace Master Liu, do not joke around. If we truly extract ten billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, the forces under our command will practically face dissolution."
"Not to mention Peerless Saint Artifacts. That is even more impossible!"
"Oh? Then do you intend to remain here sealed until death."
A cold glint flashed through Liu Bai's eyes.
Although he did not wish to kill them, if they truly sought death themselves, then he would not mind accepting this generous amount of experience.
Looking at Liu Bai, whose body overflowed with killing intent, Ancestor Danyang finally could not endure the pressure anymore and cautiously spoke up.
"How about this? I can provide five billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, along with a treasure."
Hearing someone begin to compromise, Liu Bai inwardly smiled. It seemed these fellows really had quite a bit of hidden potential to squeeze out. This was even more outrageous than Mu Chen's lion opening his mouth in the original story, yet these fellows actually managed to produce it.
Sure enough, unless pressured, there was truly no way to discover just how deep their pockets really were.
If Liu Bai remembered correctly, the remains of that Immortal Grade Ancient Mandala Flower from the original story should be on Ancestor Danyang's person, right?
This was the greatest gift Liu Bai had prepared for Mandala. Yet now it had practically delivered itself to his doorstep.
Still, Liu Bai deliberately asked, "Oh? What treasure is it?"
Ancestor Danyang hesitated slightly before cautiously replying, "This old man once obtained the remains of an Ancient Mandala Flower. During its lifetime, it was an Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign existence."
As he spoke, his gaze continuously glanced toward Mandala outside, clearly able to see that this woman possessed no low status within the Five Elements Divine Palace and shared an unusual relationship with Liu Bai.
"Mmm, acceptable." Liu Bai pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Danyang finally let out a huge sigh of relief.
The reason he had hesitated was because the remains of the Ancient Mandala Flower were incomplete, making its value inferior to that of a genuine Peerless Saint Artifact.
Thus, he had been gambling. Gambling on whether the status of that little Ancient Mandala girl in Liu Bai's heart surpassed that of an Peerless Saint Artifact.
Now it seemed he had won the gamble.
Immediately afterward, Liu Bai waved his hand, causing the sealing chains wrapped around Ancestor Danyang to clatter as they were retracted by the Five Emperor divine bodies.
The moment Ancestor Danyang regained freedom, he immediately escaped from the sealed space. He then waved his hand, using spiritual energy to sweep up all the members of Danyang Mountain before transforming into a streak of light that disappeared beyond the horizon.
He had directly chosen to leave Skylaw Continent.
This scene caused an uproar among everyone throughout heaven and earth who was observing this great battle. All of them began speculating about what exactly had happened within that Array space.
"Now it's your turn."
Liu Bai's gaze swept toward the remaining four as he spoke.
"Five billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and one Peerless Saint Artifact. This is my final bottom line. Of course, you may also exchange items worth ten billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids instead."
Looking at Liu Bai's expression as though he were very easy to talk to, the remaining four all clenched their teeth tightly.
If they truly handed over ten billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, then things would indeed turn out exactly as Ghost Emperor had said earlier. They might as well directly disband the forces under their command.
Gritting his teeth, Ghost Emperor directly tossed out a Universe Bracelet before taking out a bone whistle as white as jade.
"Five billion Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and a Spirit Grade Peerless Saint Artifact, White Bone Blow."
Liu Bai raised his brows upon seeing this. After receiving the two items, he directly swept his divine sense across the Universe Bracelet to confirm the amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquids before taking the bone whistle into his hand.
The moment it entered his grasp, it felt warm and smooth, not resembling bone in the slightest. As a breeze passed through the whistle opening, faint and intermittent wailing sounds could be heard.
The sound entered Liu Bai's ears, causing even his soul to tremble slightly. However, it was quickly dispelled by another equally gentle force.
"Oh? A treasure targeting the divine soul?"
That was rather rare.
He had not expected Ghost Emperor to possess such a treasure in secret. But if he had such an item, why had he not used it during the battle earlier?
