Although Maha Tian was furious, his mind remained extremely clear.
If they relied solely on the strength of the Maha Ancient Clan, it would be very difficult to keep Mu Chen here today. No one could be certain whether Liu Bai, who had been observing from the sidelines the entire time, would choose to intervene.
"I originally thought I could save this favor..."
There was a trace of heartache in Maha Tian's voice.
As his words fell, he calmly spoke to the empty space before him.
"Brother Hei Tian, please show yourself."
The moment Maha Tian uttered the final word, the bright world instantly turned pitch black.
This darkness blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Any source of light was swallowed by it.
The darkness came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
However, when light once again illuminated the heavens, everyone discovered that two figures had suddenly appeared beside Maha Tian.
Both figures wore black robes.
The strangest thing about them was their eyes.
Their pupils were completely black, with no whites visible, resembling bottomless black holes that inspired fear.
This sight caused Liu Bai to narrow his eyes.
"So they've come the Twin Saints of the Hei Tian Ancient Clan."
Many people did not recognize the two figures, but that did not mean they could not sense the terrifying aura emanating from them.
"Saint Grade! They're both Saint Grade!"
The crowd was completely shaken.
"Nine Saint Grade combatants. Have all the strongest experts of the Great Thousand World gathered here?"
Even though they themselves were Heavenly Sovereigns, they had never imagined that one day they would witness so many Saint Grade experts gathered together.
Moreover, these people were clearly divided into two opposing camps.
"Hei Tian Ancient Clan. Hei Tian, Hei Di... the two of you are going to involve yourselves in today's matter as well?!"
Others might not know them, but Qing Yanjing and Buddha Xuan certainly did.
They immediately exposed the identities of the newcomers.
"Hei Tian Ancient Clan?"
Mu Chen's heart trembled.
Had he violated some heavenly law or something? Why was even the Hei Tian Ancient Clan coming out to cause trouble?
Outside the city, the various superpowers erupted into an uproar.
Everyone wore expressions of shock.
No one had expected Maha Tian to invite the two Saint Grade experts of the Hei Tian Ancient Clan to assist him.
Compared to the other four Ancient Clans among the Five Ancient Clans, the Hei Tian Ancient Clan was extraordinarily low profile.
In fact, they were so low profile that it was excessive.
If not for their title as one of the Five Ancient Clans, perhaps very few people in the Great Thousand World would even know of their existence.
Among the two black robed figures, the man standing half a step ahead slowly raised his head.
His complexion was pale, as though he had not seen sunlight for countless years, giving off a gloomy feeling.
After hearing Qing Yanjing's accusation, he sighed.
"Our Hei Tian Ancient Clan owes the Maha Ancient Clan a favor. Today, we have no choice but to act. I hope Great Elder Qing Yanjing can understand."
Understand?
Understand my ass!
Qing Yanjing cursed inwardly.
But at this point, even if she openly cursed them, it would be meaningless.
Now, the only thing that mattered was whether someone on their side would step forward.
Feeling numerous gazes turn toward him, Liu Bai smiled faintly and slowly stepped forward, looking at Maha Tian and the others opposite him.
"Hehe. If everyone keeps fighting like this, there probably won't be any result. Why not end things here today?"
Maha Tian's expression darkened.
The worst situation had finally arrived.
"Palace Master Liu must be joking. Today, no one is taking the Primordial Immortal Body away. My Maha Ancient Clan absolutely will not agree!"
Liu Bai could only reveal a helpless smile.
"In that case, I suppose I can only experience the abilities of the two experts from the Hei Tian Ancient Clan."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone looked at him in astonishment.
What was going on?
Was he planning to fight two Saint Grade experts by himself?
This was a battle between Saint Grade experts, not some child's game.
Even if Liu Bai's strength exceeded that of Hei Tian and Hei Di individually, there was no way he could completely overwhelm them, let alone fight both at once.
Only one of them needed to temporarily restrain Liu Bai.
The other could join forces with Maha Tian and quickly suppress Mu Chen.
That was the most conservative strategy.
Even if Liu Bai somehow managed to hold back both Hei Tian and Hei Di, could Mu Chen really contend against Maha Tian?
A Saint Grade physical body was certainly powerful.
But in the end, Mu Chen was still not truly Saint Grade!
Without further words, Maha Tian nodded toward Hei Tian and Hei Di.
The next moment, boundless darkness erupted from behind the two men.
It instantly covered heaven and earth and enveloped Liu Bai within it.
Their actions signaled the beginning of the great battle.
Qing Yanjing immediately raised her hand and unleashed a grand Array, but it was once again blocked by the old man holding the white staff.
The two quickly began exchanging mystical techniques.
The same happened with Buddha Xuan.
"Hehe. No one can help you."
Maha Tian looked at Mu Chen and let out a cold laugh.
Mu Chen's expression remained stern, without the slightest trace of fear.
"You think you've already won?"
Maha Tian paused.
It seemed he had not expected Mu Chen to continue speaking to him in such a manner.
Being looked down upon like this made him laugh in anger.
His gloomy voice carried immense pressure.
"Hehe. I never thought there would come a day when even I, Maha Tian, would be underestimated."
"Whether I've already won or not, you'll find out soon enough."
Let us set aside the battles outside for the moment.
At this time, Liu Bai looked at the darkness surrounding him and could not help but marvel inwardly.
"The Hei Tian Ancient Clan truly possesses some remarkable methods. To actually construct such a realistic dark space."
If one could not forcibly break through it, they would likely remain trapped within this darkness forever.
Furthermore, this space was completely isolated from the outside world.
Only dark energy existed within it.
Given enough time, even a Saint Grade expert would likely exhaust all their Spiritual Energy and perish.
"Palace Master Liu, we have no desire to become your enemy. Why don't we simply remain here within this dark space and wait for the battle outside to conclude?"
Hei Tian's voice echoed through the darkness.
Yet Liu Bai could not determine his location.
Clearly, Hei Tian and Hei Di had completely merged with the dark space.
Even if Liu Bai wished to attack them, he could not do so.
After all, they were only here to repay a favor.
Naturally, they had no desire to risk their lives fighting Liu Bai.
The best option was simply to trap him here and wait until the battle outside ended.
Regardless of who emerged victorious, the favor between the Hei Tian Ancient Clan and the Maha Ancient Clan would then be fully repaid.
"I have to admit, the methods of the Hei Tian Ancient Clan are indeed mysterious. But if you think this alone can trap me, then perhaps you're underestimating me a little."
Liu Bai spoke calmly.
His words caused Hei Tian and Hei Di to pause.
Although Liu Bai's cultivation was indeed slightly higher than theirs, the dark space formed by the two of them together could absolutely trap a Saint Grade Middle Phase expert.
This was the confidence possessed by one of the Five Ancient Clans.
Unfortunately, Liu Bai appeared even more confident than they were.
Spreading his hands, countless Spiritual Seals flew from his palms and merged directly into the darkness.
An enormous amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was released and dissolved into the space, condensing into crimson light.
"An Array!"
Instantly, Hei Tian and Hei Di realized Liu Bai's intention.
They knew Liu Bai was a Saint Grade Spiritual Array Ancestor who was no weaker than Qing Yanjing.
However, they did not believe any Array could break through their dark space.
"Hehe. I wonder if the Hei Tian Ancient Clan has ever heard of a certain legend."
As his Array successfully took shape, Liu Bai could not help but smile.
He had not expected the two men to simply stand there and watch him set up his Array without interfering.
"What legend?"
A puzzled voice came from the darkness.
"Pangu Splitting Heaven."
As those words fell, dazzling spiritual light erupted from Liu Bai's eyes.
The next moment, a giant ten thousand feet tall emerged from the Array.
Holding a colossal axe equal in size to itself, it swung fiercely at the darkness before it.
Buzz!
A tremor echoed through the darkness.
A dazzling blade of light shot from the edge of the axe and struck the darkness ahead.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sound of shattering space echoed out.
Hei Tian and Hei Di froze where they stood.
Bang!
With a crisp explosion, a huge hole appeared in the black night sky.
Through it, the outside world could clearly be seen.
Fragments of space rained down.
The dark space that Hei Tian and Hei Di had been so confident in collapsed completely.
When Liu Bai finally appeared standing atop the shoulder of the gigantic Ancient God, he discovered that the battle outside had already ceased.
The reason was simple.
Maha Tian and the others, who should have held the advantage, had suddenly fallen into a disadvantageous position and were now completely suppressed by Mu Chen.
Of course, this was not because Mu Chen's own strength had become overwhelmingly powerful.
Rather, another helper had unexpectedly joined the battle.
"Ancestor Tai Ling?"
Hei Tian and Hei Di, who had also emerged from the Dark Space, were stunned when they saw the newcomer. They immediately chose to stop fighting and returned to Maha Tian's side.
"My apologies. Palace Master Liu's strength is too great. Even with the two of us joining forces, we were unable to stop him..."
Hei Tian's straightforward admission of defeat caused Maha Tian's face to twitch.
He had never expected that even two Saints working together would be unable to hold Liu Bai back.
Now that the Tai Ling Ancient Clan had joined as well, was there even any point in continuing this battle?
Liu Bai quickly assessed the situation on the battlefield. In particular, when he saw the beautiful girl standing beside Mu Chen with a face full of concern, he immediately understood what had happened.
Clearly, Luo Li, who had already become the Saintess of the Tai Ling Ancient Clan, had brought her elders to support her beloved.
Having understood everything, Liu Bai jumped down from the Ancient God's shoulder and looked toward Maha Tian.
"Clan Leader Maha, is there really any need for today's battle to continue?"
Maha Tian's face was gloomy, but he remained silent.
However, all the experts of the Maha Ancient Clan moved behind him, seemingly still unwilling to give up.
Seeing this, Qing Yanjing's expression changed. She immediately led the experts of the Buddha Ancient Clan to Mu Chen's side.
Along with her came Buddha Xuan, Luo Li, and the Tai Ling Ancestor.
Liu Bai stood between the two sides and continued with a smile.
"Clan Leader Maha, why remain so obsessed with the Primordial Immortal Body? This Primitive Celestial Body remained within the Maha Ancient Clan for tens of thousands of years, yet none of you became its master. That alone proves there is no destined connection between you and it."
Maha Tian still did not respond.
Had anyone else spoken these words, he would have slapped them long ago.
Seeing this, the smile on Liu Bai's face gradually disappeared.
"What I just said was spoken as Liu Bai, Palace Master of the Five Elements Palace."
"But if Clan Leader Maha continues to persist in this obsession, then what follows will be spoken by Liu Bai, Demon Slayer King of the Great Thousand Palace!"
The moment those words were spoken, not only the members of the Maha Ancient Clan, but even Qing Yanjing and the others were startled.
If Liu Bai had merely attempted persuasion or participated in the battle as before, the Maha Ancient Clan could still endure it.
But now that he had revealed this second identity, the situation became completely different!
Even Maha Tian was forced to speak.
"What? Palace Master Liu intends to use his authority to suppress my Maha Ancient Clan?"
By this point, Maha Tian's face had become as dark as water.
Liu Bai remained calm, but his tone became extremely serious.
"Clan Leader Maha, you understand the crisis facing the Great Thousand World today."
"At a time like this, the Primordial Immortal Body finding its master is a good thing for you and me, and even more so for all the countless living beings of the Great Thousand World. Therefore, I hope you can place the greater good above personal interests."
"These words are not merely my own opinion. They also represent the views of Great Elder Qin Tian, the Flame Emperor, and the Martial Ancestor."
The moment those words were spoken, silence descended upon the entire area.
Even those who had merely come to watch the spectacle felt a heavy weight settle in their hearts.
The Feind Race Demons were a mountain pressing down upon the entire Great Thousand World.
They were a powerful enemy that everyone would eventually have to face.
And Liu Bai's reasoning was perfectly sound.
A Primitive Celestial Body could increase the strength of the Great Thousand World far more than an ordinary Saint Grade expert.
Maha Tian fell silent once more.
At this point, he knew that it was already impossible for the Maha Ancient Clan to keep the Primordial Immortal Body.
If he continued, the enemies facing the Maha Ancient Clan would no longer be merely the Buddha Ancient Clan and the Tai Ling Ancient Clan.
Even Hei Tian and Hei Di, the allies he had personally invited, might turn against him.
When the fate of the Great Thousand World was involved, the Maha Ancient Clan simply could not bear such responsibility.
"Since Palace Master Liu has intervened on behalf of the Great Thousand Palace, my Maha Ancient Clan naturally cannot refuse to give him face."
"Today's matter ends here."
With those words, Maha Tian gave no one else a chance to speak.
His body merged into the heavens and earth before disappearing.
Seeing their Clan Leader depart, the experts of the Maha Ancient Clan naturally abandoned any further thoughts. One after another, they began escorting their people back to the clan realm.
Many people present secretly breathed sighs of relief.
Although their side currently held the advantage, no one knew what would happen if a true battle erupted.
Avoiding conflict whenever possible was naturally the preference of steady elders such as Buddha Xuan and the Tai Ling Ancestor.
"Senior, thank you for today!"
Holding Luo Li's hand, Mu Chen walked over to Liu Bai and cupped his fists in gratitude.
Had it not been for Liu Bai, even with Luo Li and the Tai Ling Ancestor helping him, things would not have ended so smoothly.
As such, Mu Chen felt genuine gratitude toward him.
Liu Bai merely waved his hand.
"What I said was not solely for your sake."
"As I mentioned before, the Great Thousand World is currently facing danger from every direction. The Demon invasion has only recently ended, and the Great Thousand Covenant is about to begin."
"Therefore, the appearance of the Primordial Immortal Body at this time is of tremendous importance to all of us."
"However, you still need to completely master it as soon as possible."
Mu Chen nodded.
"Senior, rest assured. I will."
With the matter resolved, everyone gradually departed.
Naturally, Liu Bai did not remain behind either.
After bidding farewell to Mu Chen and the others, he left Ancient City directly.
However, his destination was not the Skylaw Continent.
Instead, he headed straight for the Great Thousand Palace!
