Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan was heartbroken over the Treasure, believing that since one had already exploded earlier, another would surely shatter it. Instead, he only saw the five-colored smoke mist floating and lingering within the "Five Mountains Divine Peaks," as if it might dissipate naturally at any moment, yet it still existed there.

Watching Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan hastily cast spells to gather the constantly escaping Heavenly Gang Essence Qi, many from the Emei Sect secretly sighed that this guy was really too petty, pinching and scraping...

He was about to persuade Tianqian Mountain Xiao Nan to directly bring out three Heavenly Gang Pearls and release them.

Suddenly, two streaks of sword light flew from behind, belonging to two young women, one wearing a yellow shirt and the other in water-red, swiftly flying nearby.

The woman in the yellow shirt directly threw a Spirit Talisman into the air. It exploded midair, transforming into a giant golden light hand about an acre in size, grabbing towards the Taiyin Five Smoke Net below.

"Sumeru Vajra Hand!" those who recognized it exclaimed in surprise.

This technique was a divine technique from the Buddhist sects, most frequently used by Master Fen Tuo of the Dragon Elephant Temple on the cliffside by the Sichuan river.

There was another person, Yan Yingmu, who was also skilled in this technique, though it belonged to Mysterious Sect skills, seemingly similar but different at the core.

The woman in yellow was none other than Ling Xuehong, who, in her past life, had entered nirvana at Guiyuan Temple. She was Bai Guyi's old partner and Ling Hun's sister. Now reincarnated as Yang Jin, she had been taken back under Master Fen Tuo's wing, had her past life's Magical Treasures completely returned to her, and was taught even more powerful Buddhist techniques.

The woman beside her was Ye Bin. Both had received a Divine Talisman from Master Fen Tuo and were rushing over, specifically to break the Taiyin Five Smoke Net.

In the original story, Zhu Hong, a traitor of the Wutai Sect, had stolen this treasure from the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor and fled to seek a place for secluded cultivation, only to be later caught by Yan Yingmu with a golden light giant hand grabbing it out of thin air...

Everyone knew of Master Fen Tuo's prowess, stronger and fiercer than the already present Old Nun You Tan. Seeing the golden light giant hand sweeping down with thunderous golden radiance, for a moment, everyone was unsure how to defend against it.

Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor released a Magical Treasure, while Xu Feiniang and others also unleashed their Flying Swords. However, facing the overwhelming golden light giant hand felt somewhat like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

At that moment, Shi Feiyang, sitting on the central Dharma Platform, made another move, launching Suiren's Drill.

The treasure transformed into a rainbow light that shot horizontally, fiercely striking the Sumeru Vajra Hand.

With a loud explosion, the golden light giant hand burst into a giant ball of five-colored flames!

One object overcomes another, brine removing tofu's bitterness; Suiren's Drill's greatest effect was breaking shells. The Sumeru Vajra Hand, more solid than any large hand cast from pure gold or steel, unharmed by wind and thunder, immune to water and fire, and far more powerful than the Green Light Giant Hand formed by the Green Robe Ancestor through the Mysterious Yin Pearl, could directly seize enemies' Flying Sword Magical Treasure or any demons or ghosts with a mere gesture, deciding their fate at will.

Yet, Suiren's Drill was extraordinary in its effects, being an ancient tool used by the Forefather Suiren for drilling wood to make fire, one end True Yin, the other True Yang. After Shi Feiyang acquired it, he repeatedly refined it with the Five Elements Essence Qi, further enhancing its power through intricate techniques from Guang Chengzi's Pill Book on the exquisitely interacting principles of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and with three sessions of Returning Elixir Enlightenment, its power had greatly increased, smashing even the Sumeru Vajra Hand in one strike!

This left everyone stunned. Those from the Emei Sect, usually proud and aloof, were dumbfounded, as no one expected that anyone could break Master Fen Tuo's Sumeru Vajra Hand.

Shi Feiyang also quickly took back Suiren's Drill, seeing the Hunyuan Umbrella trembling from the constant strikes of Heavenly Thunder and its Treasure Light flickering. He hastily dispatched the Nine Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords.

As the swords ascended, all the tribulation thunder ceased striking people, and all targeted the Demon Swords instead.

Nine Demon Swords, all with their tips pointing upwards, were suspended side by side above the Hunyuan Umbrella. As the highest point of the four altar cities, they acted like lightning rods, with thousands of heavenly tribulations divided into nine streams converging on the tips of the swords. The flashes of lightning and white bursts furiously exploded, causing a noise so loud it felt like one's skull could split open!

Shi Feiyang helped the people of Wutai Sect to catch their breath. White Bone God almost got slashed by Zhu Mei, and Xu Quan had his right hand chopped off by Xun Lanyin with Invisible Sword Energy. Two more Demon Swords were thrust into the air.

Shi Feiyang sat cross-legged atop the Five-Colored Divine Peak, stretching his hands to the sides, his fingertips ejecting Five-Colored Essence Qi, cutting off the heavenly tribulation once again, fiercely pulling it towards him before roaring and pushing it out.

A giant lightning orb crossed over the heads of the Wutai Sect and viciously smashed toward the people from Emei Sect who were on the assault.

Xu Feiniang, using the ultimate essence energy of Hunyuan, gathered the scattered Heavenly Gang Essence Qi, competing with the youngster from Tianqian Mountain, causing the young Taoist unbearable pain, making him release another Heavenly Gang Pearl, only to be attacked by the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor with a Green-eyed Divine Needle while Qi Shuming protected himself with the Iron Turtle Immortal Shield. Unaware, Xu Feiniang released a Spirit Talisman bought from Qingcheng Treasury, turning into a green light that encircled the Heavenly Gang Pearl.

Both Qi Shuming and the youngster from Tianqian Mountain were stunned to see Xu Feiniang cast a divine talisman from Qingcheng Sect, as the Heavenly Gang Pearl was forcibly lifted into the sky by the green circle of light.

The youngster hastily cast a spell to counter it, while Xu Feiniang released a Five Thunder Heavenly Mechanism Talisman bought from Kunlun Thunder Core.

This was Yu Xiao's masterpiece, which took many years and various materials to refine and was priced at three hundred thousand Dragon Coins.

The talisman's most powerful aspect was not in the amount of thunder energy it could release, but in its ability to invoke thunder. The word "Heaven's Secret" in its name suggested this unique functionality.

Once released, the talisman could automatically interact with the natural energies of heaven and earth, invoking the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha from all five directions to form a Five Thunder, which happened simultaneously in an instant, even attracting the thunder from the clouds, nearly a hundred bolts of heavenly tribulation were drawn in, colliding with the Thunder Talisman's accumulated five thunders right onto the Heavenly Gang Pearl.

The Heavenly Gang Pearl exploded again, but it was tens of feet off the ground, and although it still had the power to flatten forests and push mountains, it was weaker compared to the first two times. Instead, it exploded below the thunderclouds in mid-air, scattering the Heavenly Gang surge wildly, dissipating many of the heavenly tribulations and blasting a hole in the thundercloud!

The youngster from Tianqian Mountain had originally crafted these eighteen Heavenly Gang Pearls for the purpose of overcoming the Earth Immortal's Final Tribulation; using one to explode the thundercloud was indeed fitting.

Watching yet another Heavenly Gang Pearl fail and its Heavenly Gang Qi quickly dissipating from the chaotic strikes of the heavenly tribulation, the young Taoist's heart was bleeding.

At this point, Qi Shuming knew he couldn't depend on this fellow anymore. If they delayed further, the time for the heavenly tribulation would pass.

He gave an order, and all of Emei Sect and their invited friends charged towards the "Five Mountains Divine Peaks!"

Leading the assault were the Three Immortals of the East Sea. Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor released Flying Swords to ward off the enemies. Sikong Zhan and Xu Feiniang came to help, and the Emei Sect, having previously planned, saw the Dragon Slayer unleash her Dragon Slayer Saber against Sikong Zhan, and Master Can Xia released the Rainbow Sword, Evil Slayer Sword, and Ruyi Divine Spear towards Xu Feiniang, engaging the two great masters of Wutai Sect from east and west.

On Wutai Sect's side, Master Tuotuo unleashed the Crying Buddha Sword, and Daoist Jiaoshan launched the Banana Leaf Sword. Long Fei was the fiercest, releasing the Nine Child Mother Yin Soul Sword. Iron Flute Immortal Li Kunwu played the Secret Demon Divine Sound, and the rest, including He Zhang, Jiang Sangu, Monk Qianxiao, and Lin Yuan of Xuan Du, each released their Flying Sword Magical Treasures to battle with the people of Emei Sect!

Before coming, the Three Immortals of the East Sea were already fully prepared. Although they couldn't completely break through the Taiyin Five Smoke Net, they still had backup strategies. First was the Ascetic Monk using Buddha Light to adhere to the floating Five-Colored Smoke, showing through the smoke condensed Golden Arhats of Buddha Light, all of which were Illusions of the Ascetic Monk's Dharma Body, each forming Buddha Seals to attack the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor.

Xuan Zhenzi then used the most powerful Immortal Law from the "Purple and Blue Treasure Talisman" to sever the connection between "Central Mountain" where the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor was stationed and "South Mountain" where the Demon Sword was located.

Qi Shuming once again used his own Primordial Spirit as bait, manipulating the Demon Sword to make it bite back at the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor!

The Demon Sword, following the mental connection, unleashed a strong Devil Thought trying to control his Primordial Spirit. The Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor faced the combined attack of three great masters, which inevitably caused some confusion. Missing one move, his Primordial Spirit almost suffered heavy damage. He promptly concentrated, cast a spell in retaliation, and the sword autonomously flew up, also sent into the sky!
