Sun Xiaoshan's aura grew stronger, and all living beings on the Holy Mountain felt their breathing become cautious under this immense pressure, lest their gasps attract the attention of this devil king.
Who would have thought this guy would be so unreasonable?
"Little brother, you... how do you know of such a world? Could it be that you..." Hearing Sun Xiaoshan's words, Hao Tian Tian Zun was like a startled rabbit, looking at Sun Xiaoshan with great shock.
He knew that when he was breaking through to the Heavenly Venerate Perfection, driven by a casual curiosity, he shot straight into the sky. To his surprise, the firmament that had always seemed like a cage was easily pierced. Instantly, a vast, boundless blackness flooded his vision.
While using his divine sense to leave marks in space, he kept moving in a certain direction. He didn't know how long he had flown before he saw another massive celestial body, identical to the cage he had escaped, in the void where he was invisible.
However, when he wanted to continue forward, his body seemed to be bound by some Heavenly Dao rules. Not only could he not move his true essence, but his physical body also began to collapse with his forward movement. Terrified, he immediately turned and fled back.
After that, he went out several more times, but he never encountered any other celestial bodies. The restraint of the Heavenly Dao rules was simply too terrifying, and he couldn't leave too far.
"I give you two choices: First, surrender and become my mount. In the future, you can be the guardian beast of my Qingyue Sect! Second, die!"
Sun Xiaoshan no longer wanted to waste words with him. His aura surged again, and all living beings on the Holy Mountain below the Mahayana realm were once again crushed to the ground.
Guardian Beast! What kind of nonsense is this?
A dozen Mahayana elders gritted their teeth as they stared at Sun Xiaoshan, filled with confusion. Why would you want to take a Meng Tian tribe member as a mount? Are you going to sit on his head or his shoulders?
Let alone being a guardian beast? Look at the Meng Tian tribe, how do they resemble beasts in any way? This is an insult, isn't it?
Moreover, you are just a newly ascended Heavenly Venerate. Is it appropriate to challenge a Heavenly Venerate Perfection like this? Aren't you afraid that Hao Tian Tian Zun will crush you on the ground?
"How did you see through me?" If Sun Xiaoshan's words earlier had made him feel mysterious, then Sun Xiaoshan's threatening words made his hair stand on end.
"Is it difficult to see through your true form? Three breaths' time. After that, I will assume you choose the second option!" Sun Xiaoshan spoke again.
"Human! I have been speaking to you with courtesy because I know that reaching the Heavenly Venerate realm is not easy for you. Don't think that I fear you! All disciples of the sacred land, activate the sect protection formation!"
"Disciples of the Kui Mei, Kuang Lang, and Zhan tribes, I, Hao Tian, have treated your tribes fairly. Can you bear to see a mere human stand above you one day?" Hao Tian Tian Zun spoke solemnly, his voice echoing throughout the Holy Mountain. Unfortunately, all disciples below the Mahayana realm were suppressed by Sun Xiaoshan's might, unable to move.
Rumble...
The entire Holy Mountain and its surroundings fifty miles away suddenly trembled. A terrifying firmament, like a curtain being pulled up, rose rapidly from the ground, forming a barrier in an instant.
The sect protection formation!
This kind of formation was normally used to defend against external enemies. However, at this moment, both Sun Xiaoshan and the elite disciples of the other major sects were within the range of this formation, meaning that everyone present was trapped within the sect protection formation.
Once the sect protection formation was activated, unless it was revoked or its energy was depleted, no one could leave.
"Both of you are powerful individuals. My Zhan tribe does not intend to participate in this matter. I request that you seniors allow my Zhan tribe's disciples to leave. Afterwards, regardless of which senior wins, this junior will certainly come to apologize." Sha Tian looked up at the two Heavenly Venerates confronting each other in the air, swallowing hard.
"Senior, my Kui Mei tribe also withdraws. Please allow us to leave."
Whether it was the Zhan tribe, the Kui Mei tribe, or the Kuang Lang, they all spoke in unison, unwilling to intervene in the dispute between two Heavenly Venerates. Unfortunately, neither Sun Xiaoshan nor Hao Tian would allow them to leave.
"You three backstabbers, very good. This way, I won't have any psychological burden when I kill you!" Hao Tian's face darkened as he looked at the three, especially Kuang Lang, his killing intent no longer concealed.
"You three have played your cards well. Unfortunately, when I let Meng Lu return, I missed one thing: 'No matter what race, there can only be one human in this world, and that is my human race. All others, see them and kill them!'"
Sun Xiaoshan also looked at the beings below, his tone filled with indifference: "You monstrous Hao Tian, since we've said it all, aren't you going to reveal your true form as a great demon?!"
What? This human actually wants to kill all twelve other races besides humans? Also, is this Hao Tian Tian Zun, admired by the entire world, a great demon?!
All the cultivators suddenly looked up, staring at the two in the sky with astonishment and infinite fear in their pupils. Whether it was the human Heavenly Venerate or Hao Tian Tian Zun, if Sun Xiaoshan's words were true, then not a single cultivator present, including the disciples of the sacred land, would survive.
That's right, this Heavenly Venerate of the sacred land was not a pure Meng Tian tribe member, but a great demon from the Southern Wilderness.
"Heh... I didn't expect you to have such skill. It's been over several thousand years since Hao Tian entered my Southern Wilderness. In order to advance further, I possessed him to obtain the endless cultivation resources of your human sacred land."
Since it had come to this point, Hao Tian no longer hid anything. His entire head suddenly swelled like an inflated balloon, and then cracks appeared all over the skin of his face, with traces of blood slowly seeping out from the cracks.
Bang...
Suddenly, Hao Tian's entire head exploded, and demonic energy raged. His original Meng Tian tribe head was replaced by a giant wolf's head.
This... this is a Howling Moon Azure Wolf!
