Chapter 719: Chapter 719: The Covenant of the Creation Divine Palace

Di Xuansha suddenly appeared beside Zhong Shan, just in time to witness the monumental clash between the Unyielding Mountain Staff and the World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin.

Di Xuansha\'s pupils contracted as he grabbed Zhong Shan, Tian Ling\'er, Mud Buddha, and Yin Luori, quickly moving them away from the battlefield. Tian Lao followed closely behind.

Ten thousand miles away, Zhao Suoxiang led the army in encampment. Despite the distance, the terrifying ringing in their ears persisted.

"General Zhao, take your troops and retreat another thirty thousand miles," Di Xuansha ordered.

Although they couldn\'t hear any other sounds, Di Xuansha\'s voice mysteriously reached Zhong Shan and the others.

Zhao Suoxiang looked at Zhong Shan, who nodded in agreement. Zhao Suoxiang then took out a flag and quickly signaled the army to retreat. Di Xuansha\'s voice also reached the wolves, while Yin Luori used a secret technique to inform all tiger clan members to follow the army\'s withdrawal.

They retreated to forty thousand miles away.

Only then did they begin to feel somewhat better, regaining their hearing.

"What just happened?" Yin Luori asked, frowning in shock.

"Ying and that black-clad man solidified the surrounding space," Di Xuansha said, taking a deep breath.

"Solidified the surrounding space?" Zhong Shan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the space in a small world is very fragile. A powerful celestial can shatter the void, while in the Grand World, even a celestial cannot disturb the slightest spatial ripple. The space there is the most solid. Ying and that black-clad man solidified this area of space, making it much more stable than in a small world, though still not as solid as the Grand World," Di Xuansha explained.

"No wonder I felt the world suddenly become brighter," Tian Ling\'er realized.

Zhong Shan also recalled that he had felt a sudden clarity in the world when the two had made their moves.

"Why is the space in the Grand World so solid?" Zhong Shan asked.

"I don\'t know," Di Xuansha shook his head.

In the distance, the Unyielding Mountain Staff had completely transformed into a massive mountain. Its imposing presence seemed to command reverence and worship.

Above, the World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin hadn\'t grown much larger, but it was surrounded by a dense aura of killing intent, as if it held the power to suppress the world, making hearts stop.

"The Unyielding Mountain Staff, unseen for ten thousand years, is still so powerful," Di Xuansha marveled.

"Oh? You know these two treasures?" Zhong Shan asked.

"Yes, though most have only heard their names without knowing their power. Each of the twelve ancient treasures has a legendary history to earn its place. The Heaven-Opening Axe can cleave the heavens and the earth! The Unyielding Mountain Staff once supported both heaven and earth, a true pillar of the world. It crushed an entire celestial dynasty into oblivion. No one could stand against it, so even after countless years, its might cannot be forgotten," Di Xuansha explained.

"And the World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin?" Zhong Shan asked, frowning.

"The World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin is similar. Once, it sealed an entire celestial dynasty under the emperor\'s command, reducing three hundred cities to dust, leaving nothing but devastation."

Listening to Di Xuansha, Zhong Shan felt a chill in his heart. An entire celestial dynasty reduced to powder?

Was this really just a treasure? Such terrifying power! Could Ying destroy an entire celestial dynasty on his own?

Zhong Shan shivered inwardly. These ancient treasures of Shenzhou, were they all this powerful? Why did the ones he had encountered seem so much weaker by comparison?

In the distance, the World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin and the Unyielding Mountain Staff had collided eight times already. Each collision, though seemingly gentle, was immensely powerful.

As this was happening, another figure appeared beside Zhong Shan and the others—a white-clad man with enormous wings, Xuan Yuan.

"The Unyielding Mountain Staff?" Xuan Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing the Unyielding Mountain Staff, a look of uncertainty and astonishment filled Xuan Yuan\'s eyes.

For the ninth time, the two ancient treasures collided.

"Boom!"

This time, the collision produced a deafening sound, a super loud, terrifying explosion. The area around Heaven\'s Peak suddenly turned into a massive black hole, shattering the space completely. The diameter of the black hole was ten thousand miles wide, and the tremendous shockwave instantly crushed everything within twenty thousand miles.

Even the army that had retreated to thirty thousand miles away suffered. Many soldiers were gravely injured internally, coughing up blood from the shock.

Despite the solidified space created by the two mighty beings, the space was torn apart, showcasing the sheer power of the collision.

The shattered space quickly began to mend, like a void in water being filled by surrounding streams. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the space had restored itself.

The ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers had turned into a desert, with only Heaven\'s Peak still standing at the center.

Zhong Shan and the others quickly flew back. By now, Ying had already put away the World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin.

Ying and Tian Shenzi stood facing each other from a distance, silent.

"Your mortal body has not yet fully merged with \'qi,\'" Ying said calmly.

"Your Jiangshi body is also not yet perfected," Tian Shenzi replied in kind.

"One day, in the Grand World, we shall battle again," Ying declared.

"As you wish," Tian Shenzi agreed.

It seemed the two had not reached a definitive outcome. Certainly, neither had fought with their full strength, and there was a sense of mutual respect. Ying and Tian Shenzi nodded to each other.

Ying glanced at Di Xuansha and Xuan Yuan, nodding at them before disappearing.

The pinnacle duel, though unresolved, had given Ying what he sought. Tian Shenzi\'s position in Ying\'s mind was firmly established.

Having achieved his purpose, Ying returned to his empire.

As Tian Shenzi watched Ying leave, he sighed slightly and turned his crimson gaze towards the group, finally focusing on Xuan Yuan, who had retracted his wings.

Tian Shenzi\'s crimson eyes locked onto Xuan Yuan, causing Xuan Yuan\'s pupils to contract. His eyes turned silver, emitting a faint white light.

"The Creation Divine Palace?" Tian Shenzi asked in a deep voice.

"Creation Divine Palace, Xuan Yuan, greets the senior," Xuan Yuan said respectfully, bowing to Tian Shenzi.

"Ten thousand years... He really founded the \'Creation Divine Palace\'?" Tian Shenzi sighed softly.

"Senior, are you \'Tian Shenzi\'?" Xuan Yuan asked with increasing certainty.

"Yes," Tian Shenzi nodded.

Upon receiving Tian Shenzi\'s confirmation, Xuan Yuan took out an object—a miniature palace, floating in his palm, emitting a small cluster of yellow light.

Merit? Zhong Shan\'s pupils contracted in surprise as he watched.

"The first generation Palace Master honored his agreement with you, founding the \'Creation Divine Palace\' to protect this realm. Although the palace has only one member per generation and does not actively seek merit, it still bears immense merit. This was the boundless merit you bestowed upon the first Palace Master. Even after ten thousand years, a small portion remains. Over the ten thousand years, the Creation Divine Palace has eliminated sixteen waves of intruders from the Grand World. Now that we have seen the Unyielding Mountain Staff again, our mission is complete. I return this to you," Xuan Yuan said respectfully, offering the miniature palace to Tian Shenzi.

Tian Shenzi looked at the palace in Xuan Yuan\'s palm and then at Xuan Yuan himself. "You have just reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and that was only half a year ago. Are you sure you don\'t want to keep it?"

"Whose item it is, belongs to them. The Creation Divine Palace has not fallen so low as to abandon its principles for an external item," Xuan Yuan replied firmly.

Tian Shenzi nodded, acknowledging the similarity between Xuan Yuan and the first generation Palace Master. "You are very much like him, the same character."

"Thank you," Xuan Yuan responded humbly.

"What happened to him in the end?" Tian Shenzi asked.

"The first generation Palace Master, when his lifespan was nearing its end, transcended the tribulation and left this realm," Xuan Yuan said solemnly.

"He truly kept his promise," Tian Shenzi nodded.

Tian Shenzi did not take the palace from Xuan Yuan. Instead, he said, "This item originally belongs to the Grand World. It was something we obtained together. After ten thousand years of guarding this realm for me, this item rightfully belongs to you. I will not take it back, and the mission of the Creation Divine Palace is now complete."

Xuan Yuan looked deeply at Tian Shenzi, then nodded and accepted the palace, putting it away with a flip of his hand. He bowed deeply to Tian Shenzi once more.

Zhong Shan, standing nearby, was slightly astonished. The fourth level of the Heavenly Extreme Realm? No, half a year ago, Xuan Yuan was only at the third level? To have fought six Earth Immortals at the third level? This Xuan Yuan was indeed formidable!

Having settled matters with the Creation Divine Palace, Tian Shenzi glanced at Di Xuansha, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes before he nodded.

Di Xuansha also nodded in acknowledgment.

"Alright, follow me into the hall. I will pass on the family head\'s responsibilities to you," Tian Shenzi said to Tian Ling\'er.

Tian Ling\'er moved closer to Zhong Shan, clearly not feeling very comfortable around Tian Shenzi, as if he were a big bad wolf.

Seeing the current family head\'s expression, Tian Shenzi was momentarily speechless. After a pause, he looked at Zhong Shan.

"You come in with us too," Tian Shenzi said, a trace of resignation in his voice.

Zhong Shan\'s eyes lit up at the invitation.

Suddenly, a piercing sound filled the air, and a green light flashed from the distance, appearing before everyone in an instant.

Following Ying\'s departure, another supreme being had arrived—Sima Ce!

Sima Ce appeared suddenly, surveying the desertified surroundings with a deep frown. His eyes widened in anger as he noticed the destruction and the absence of his subordinates.

A murderous gleam flashed in Sima Ce\'s eyes as he glared at the group near the palace at Heaven\'s Peak.
