In the Cyan Yang Realm.

The void shattered.

Master Celestial Secret stepped on the void, arriving with an indifferent gaze as he looked at the battlefield. When he saw Demon Venerable Xuan Yin battling Yuan Shendao, a slight ripple appeared on his previously unperturbed face.

"Demon Venerable Xuan Yin!"

This long-gone Ancient Demon Venerable was actually cooperating with the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Even Master Celestial Secret couldn’t calculate the origins of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.

Such a mysterious and powerful being made Master Celestial Secret quite wary internally.

On the other side.

Seeing Master Celestial Secret appear, the expressions of cultivators from both sides changed.

The difference was.

The side of Taiyuan Realm was overjoyed, while the side of Cyan Yang Divine Court felt their spirits sink.

In the current situation, the appearance of a Mahayana Stage expert was enough to change the entire battle.

At this moment.

Master Celestial Secret quickly locked his gaze onto Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.

Though the two were currently entangled in a fierce and even battle, as long as Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was suppressed, the remaining two ninth-tier experts would be of no concern.

Immediately.

Master Celestial Secret prepared to take action.

A terrifying aura emanated from him, and at the same time, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin felt himself being targeted by a terrifying power.

The latter’s expression immediately grew tense.

Just coping with Yuan Shendao was challenging enough, and now with the addition of Master Celestial Secret, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was already contemplating how to make his retreat.

After all.

He could see clearly.

Master Celestial Secret’s strength was significantly greater than Yuan Shendao’s, comparable to Lv Chunyang’s level.

"Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, you’ve slaughtered billions of souls in the Taiyuan Realm. Today, I shall act on behalf of the heavens and suppress you, this chaos-bringing demon—"

Master Celestial Secret, exuding righteousness, gazed coldly at Demon Venerable Xuan Yin.

In the next breath.

He was about to make his move.

However.

Before Master Celestial Secret could truly act, an unseen force pressed down from the heavens. The power at the pinnacle of the late Mahayana Stage suddenly plummeted to the pinnacle of the post-Tribulation Crossing Stage.

This sudden change left Master Celestial Secret stunned.

"Heavenly Dao Suppression!"

"How can the Heavenly Dao of the Cyan Yang Realm suppress me!"

Currently, the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms were clashing, and the concept of Heavenly Dao Suppression shouldn’t exist, as the forces from both realms were mutually constraining each other, and thus couldn’t affect other cultivators.

This was precisely why the armies of the Taiyuan Realm dared to directly assault the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

More importantly.

Even if there were Heavenly Dao Suppression, it could mostly suppress one minor realm.

But being directly suppressed by an entire major realm made Master Celestial Secret feel dazed, as if he had stepped into a pitfall.

At that moment.

Within the void, the shadow of the Divine Tree cast upon it. A fearsome figure, emitting an overwhelming divine might, walked upon the void, striking across it with his right hand to suppress Master Celestial Secret.

The sheer terrifying power caused the Pavilion Master of Celestial Secret Pavilion’s expression to change dramatically.

"Not good!"

Master Celestial Secret’s face looked grim.

This strike’s power reached a level of mid to late Mahayana Stage, which he would naturally not fear if he were at his peak.

But the issue was.

Master Celestial Secret was currently being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and his strength, which had fallen from the pinnacle of the late Mahayana Stage to the pinnacle of the post-Tribulation Crossing Stage, was short of an entire major realm. How could he be confident in resisting?

The fingers of his palm descended.

Master Celestial Secret was instantly suppressed on the spot.

Boom—

The ground sank.

Master Celestial Secret was heavily slammed down, his flesh cracked open, and large amounts of blood flowed out frantically, leaving him severely injured and near death.

This scene.

Made the joyful expressions that had just appeared on the faces of the Taiyuan Realm’s cultivators freeze, their eyes filled with unstoppable shock.

"Impossible!"

"How could Master Celestial Secret be suppressed so easily!"

The veteran experts from various sects were in utter disbelief, while the strong cultivators arriving from the Celestial Secret Pavilion were in a daze, as if they were in a dreamlike state.

Who could have imagined.

Master Celestial Secret, who had descended with an invincible momentum, had just uttered a few harsh words before being directly suppressed by a mysterious strong figure.

While the Taiyuan Realm was secretly shocked by the identity of this mysterious strong figure, the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s side was filled with joy.

"The Divine Emperor has made a move!"

"With one strike, suppressing a ninth-tier expert, the Divine Emperor’s majesty is truly unrivaled!"

Others might not recognize the mysterious figure shrouded in divine light, but to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, his identity couldn’t be more familiar.

Since the beginning of the war, Gu Qingyang had never shown himself, leading the cultivators of Cyan Yang Divine Court to think that the Taiyuan Realm’s cultivators might not be worthy of his personal intervention.

As it turns out.

Their speculations were not wrong at all.

Once the Divine Emperor took action, he directly suppressed a ninth-tier expert from the opposing side, his power unfathomable.

At this moment.

The Taiyuan Realm’s cultivators finally understood the identity of the mysterious figure before them.

Divine Emperor Gu Qingyang!

The true supreme existence of the Cyan Yang Divine Court.

Thinking of this.

They suddenly remembered that Gu Qingyang had never directly intervened.

If Demon Venerable Xuan Yin was indeed inclined towards the Cyan Yang Divine Court, then the Cyan Yang Divine Court would truly possess four ninth-tier level experts.

Moreover.

Gu Qingyang could suppress Master Celestial Secret with his bare hands, his strength unfathomable and clearly beyond ordinary ninth-tier comparison.

The slight advantage that the Taiyuan Realm once had in terms of top-tier experts had now completely vanished.

After all.

The presence of a strong enough expert to directly suppress Master Celestial Secret was enough to bring them to despair.

Compared to the ordinary cultivators, Lv Chunyang, who was also at the pinnacle of the late Mahayana Stage, felt an even greater shock internally. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Others might not understand Master Celestial Secret’s strength, but he knew it all too well.

If Gu Qingyang could suppress Master Celestial Secret with one palm, he could naturally suppress him as well.

Before Lv Chunyang could process his shock, Gu Qingyang’s hand reached into the void, directly taking away Master Celestial Secret, who lay on the ground like a dead dog. Subsequently, the shadow of the Divine Tree dissipated as if it had never appeared.

Yet everyone understood that with Gu Qingyang’s action, the entire battlefield had shifted significantly.

...

Kunlun Divine Realm.

The severely wounded Master Celestial Secret was casually discarded by Gu Qingyang.

"Who are you really? The Heavenly Dao of Cyan Yang Realm is supposedly at war with the Heavenly Dao of Taiyuan Realm. How can there be Heavenly Dao Power to suppress..."

Master Celestial Secret looked at the man in front of him, his usual composure long gone, his face filled with disbelief.

"I am Emperor Gu Qingyang!"

Gu Qingyang’s expression remained indifferent.

Ever since the Taiyuan Realm’s invasion, he hadn’t used the Heavenly Dao Domain’s power to suppress, reserving this power to directly deal with stronger opponents who might appear later.

After all, as it stood, with Demon Venerable Xuan Yin appearing, the strength of the Cyan Yang Divine Court was not weaker than that of the Taiyuan Realm.

But in Gu Qingyang’s eyes, the Taiyuan Realm’s deep foundation suggested possible other reincarnation Mahayana lurking in secret.

As expected.

Master Celestial Secret appeared.

Thus, Gu Qingyang took direct action. Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Domain and with absolute power, even Master Celestial Secret, who was in his eighth reincarnation as a Mahayana, had no room for resistance.

In an instant.

He was suppressed by Gu Qingyang, directly captured into the Kunlun Divine Realm.
