Monster, at this moment Auspicious Day truly deserves to be called a monster.

The gentle and quiet demeanor has vanished, her body entirely indigo, wearing five skulls atop her head, with flame-like fiery orange hair standing upright, a huge gaping mouth like a basin revealing two tiger fangs, making her look ferocious and terrifying.

Especially the third eye opened on her forehead, with burning illusory black flames in its black pupil, giving a deep ominous foreboding.

"I can feel that mere slaughter won't satisfy Shiva's Eye..."

Auspicious Day said slowly with a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "Only destruction, ultimate destruction, can assist me in refining Shiva's Eye!"

"Ha!"

With a long shout, Auspicious Day spread her arms wide, and black Destructive Fire rained down upon the Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of Blood, onto the Heavenly Gate Pass.

All people or objects touching the Destructive Fire began to slowly turn into black ash, slowly dissipating. From limb to full body, those with weaker strength could only endure three breaths.

"Form the army formation, Yu!"

Gao Boyang flew up, drenched in blood, loudly commanding the troops within Heavenly Gate Pass.

The army formation formed, specifically used for defense, raised sturdy walls of the Thousand-Fathom Wall Army Formation to keep the Destructive Fire outside.

But this kind of defense couldn't last long, even though the wide area caused the Destructive Fire to have diminished power, the power to burn everything still slowly eroded the formation's Evil Qi, gradually burning it.

And outside the Heavenly Gate Pass, black ash fluttered, everything turned into ashes in the black flames, only Gao Boyang survived due to his powerful strength.

"Destroy it—"

Auspicious Day shouted loudly, standing on one leg, with the other leg and hand twisting in the air, jumping into a dazzling and beautiful dance. The sinister and horrific face combined with the brilliant dance forms a bizarre sense of beauty.

"Retreat quickly."

Lin Lingshan and Gao Boyang dodged inside Heavenly Gate Pass, watching Auspicious Day dance in the sky, their faces solemn as water.

"This aura..." Lin Lingshan said with a stiff face, "It's almost about to become the Strongest..."

Earlier at the Shu Province border, Sword God and Mu Cangsheng, Yama fought fiercely, the majestic aura even from a long distance away, Lin Lingshan present at the time could still feel it.

Right now Auspicious Day naturally couldn't have the same aura as those three back then, but she already had that prototype. She's not far from the Strongest.

"The army formation can't hold out for long, and if Auspicious Day strikes directly, the Thousand-Fathom Wall Army Formation could be broken in an instant. We need reinforcements," Gao Boyang said deeply.

At this moment, Auspicious Day seemed immersed in some kind of Mental Realm, dancing incessantly while spreading black flames. Once she stops dancing and truly strikes, the Heavenly Gate Pass would be at the time of destruction.

"Two more Divine Communication, at least..."

Lin Lingshan immediately took out the Jade Pendant, inputted True Qi to contact Elder Shiming.

...........

The image of Elder Shiming appeared on the black Jade Pendant, Qing Yu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, holding his head, and looked at Elder Shiming, saying, "Want me to make a move to help? Is Auspicious Day really that strong?"

Back in Kartim, Qing Yu had exchanged a move with Auspicious Day from a distance. Although this leader of Heavenly Maidens was quite powerful and could be said to be one of the few warriors, but saying she alone suppressed Lin Lingshan and Gao Boyang, beating them without any ability to fight back, that would be exaggerating.

Gao Boyang is the Po Jun Star Lord, though he is a new Divinity Realm, but he couldn't withstand the constant support of Star Power from the Po Jun Star.

And Lin Lingshan, as one of Nine Heavens, his strength was undeniable. Compared to Gao Boyang relying on Po Jun Star Power, Lin Lingshan's strength was undoubtedly more formidable.

Their joint effort was actually suppressed by Auspicious Day. This strength didn't match with the impression.

"It's even stronger than you think," Elder Shiming said with a serious expression, "Auspicious Day holds the Divine Artifact left by the Three-faced God of Peacock Dynasty. These three, jointly fought Buddha, were supreme warriors. The destruction of the Peacock Dynasty at the time, said to be a natural disaster, was actually inseparable from the Three-faced God.

The battle between the Three-faced God and Buddha was the direct cause of the demise of the Peacock Dynasty."

"Three-faced God?" Qing Yu asked in surprise, "These three were Brahman ancestors, dead enemies to Buddhist. How big-hearted must Nalanda Temple be to use the power of enemies?"

"I never expected that either," Elder Shiming smiled wryly, "Nalanda Temple, for unknown reasons, preserved the Divine Artifact of their mortal enemies. Now they even use the power of the Three-faced God enemies. Auspicious Day is now only a line short of the Strongest, a strength completely unmatched by ordinary people.

And though Fantian doesn't make a move, Indra and other Eight Tribes, the remaining Three Heavenly Maidens might be eyeing from the shadows as well. We confront Daqian on one side and resist Western Regions aggression on the other. If you think you can relax, I'm afraid not."

"What about the Buddhist? Brahman is the mortal enemy of Buddhist. Will they not make a move?" Qing Yu asked.

"Buddhist's attitude is ambiguous, Xinyuan, that dead nasty monk, doesn't know what he's seen, has been guarding the Great Zen Temple all along without moving."

At this point, a hint of coldness flashed in the Elder Shiming's double pupils, "If necessary, we might withdraw from Heavenly Gate Pass, letting Peacock Remnant enter. Auspicious Day seems to want to fully achieve the Strongest using the Three-faced God's Divine Artifact, then let her kill, I want to see who can't sit still then."

Nine Heavens isn't without means to repel Nalanda Temple. Truly provoked, even if it meant fighting on two fronts, one resisting Nalanda Temple and the other waging war against Daqian, wasn't impossible.

But it's not worthwhile. The cost and benefit don't equal.

Nine Heavens, as an organization, aims for great chaos, not a peace-loving organization. Allowing Peacock Remnant entry may disrupt Nine Heavens' pace somewhat but isn't entirely unacceptable.

While disrupting the situation, Peacock Remnant's entry would also cause considerable slaughter, triggering Tribulation Qi. From the result standpoint, we could say it's a mix of good and bad, even possibly more good than harm.

If Nalanda Temple didn't seem to be flirting with Mu Cangsheng, and since Shu Province is now Nine Heavens territory, Elder Shiming might have outright let Peacock Remnant enter.

"It's not impossible for me to make a move, but..."

Qing Yu sighed suddenly, "This time Daqian's plan is meticulous, they probably want to use this opportunity to determine Nine Heavens' real identity. Right now, the new Divine Captor Ning Wuming from Six Gates is outside the Zhenwu Seven Peaks watching closely. With our past grudges, if he finds me leaving Zhenwu Sect, he'll surely directly frame me as part of Nine Heavens.

It's difficult for me to make a move. Ning Wuming's eyes, being restored, are sharper than ever before."
