"Your Majesty, please think of a way, quickly! We can't hold on much longer!"
At the same time, in the Yao Clan Heavenly Court!
Some Yao saints were looking at Dijun, their bodies covered in blood!
There was no other choice!
The power of the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment was simply too great!
Even with them recovering their magic power from time to time, they still felt they were struggling to hold on!
Not just them!
Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi was in the same state!
He looked up at the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment overhead with an exhausted face and said, "That's right, Elder Brother, if this goes on, our Heavenly Court will be finished sooner or later!"
"This!"
Dijun glanced around!
Originally, the Heavenly Court had been resplendent in gold and jade, but now it looked like a ruin!
Countless Yao soldiers had already died under the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment, yet there were still two bolts of thunder punishment left!
This made his heart ache as well!
Even so, for the moment he had no idea what to do and could only furrow his brows deeply!
"Hmph, a bunch of fools, why haven't you sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao again yet!"
Just as he was thinking this!
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out in his mind!
"Dao Ancestor!"
Dijun trembled all over!
The next moment, as if an immortal had touched the crown of his head, he immediately understood a great deal and said excitedly, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for your guidance!"
Immediately afterward, he raised his head toward the sky and shouted loudly, "Heaven above, today I, Dijun, seeing that the living beings of Honghuang are numerous and our race sparse, hereby establish a clan named Yao. All creatures of the Honghuang land—grass, trees, beasts, and birds—that attain human form shall belong to the Yao Clan. The Yao Clan takes the Thirty-Three Heavens as its base and the supreme Xiantian spiritual treasures, the Hetu and Luoshu, to suppress its luck. The Yao Clan is established!"
Boom!
The moment Dijun's voice fell!
Instantly, the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment that had been hovering above the Heavenly Court vanished into thin air!
A vast stream of Great Dao Merit descended from the sky.
The luck of all the Yao members also rapidly converged toward the top of the Heavenly Court, forming the Golden Dragon of Luck of the Yao Clan!
"Hahaha, the heavenly punishment is gone!"
"It's gone!"
All the Yao members cheered, trembling and shouting with excitement!
Dijun also relaxed slightly, bowed toward the direction of Zixiao Palace, and said, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for your guidance!"
"Hmph!"
In Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun watched this scene and merely let out a cold snort without speaking!
He really didn't want to speak!
In fact, if he hadn't been afraid that the Yao Clan would be wiped out by the Heavenly Dao and that there would be nobody left to fight the Wu Clan in the Wu-Monster Tribulation, he wouldn't even have bothered to remind Dijun just now!
Damn it!
That Dijiang had Great Dao Merit, which was why he was able to communicate with the Great Dao!
You, Dijun, don't have a single hammer!
What right do you have to swear an oath to the Great Dao?
Isn't this courting death?
Yet he had no choice either!
He could only give a hint!
"Alas!"
Hearing the Dao Ancestor's snort, Dijun sighed softly!
Only then did his gaze turn toward the Golden Dragon of Luck above the Yao Clan Heavenly Court!
Yet as he looked at that Golden Dragon of Luck now, he suddenly felt that this golden dragon didn't seem quite so impressive anymore!
Especially compared to the one belonging to the Wu Clan!
It was simply far inferior!
Still, he couldn't be bothered to dwell on it, so he merely waved his hand and told the others, "Quickly restore the Heavenly Court!"
As for all of this!
Dijiang was actually well aware of it!
In fact, Dijiang had been keeping a close eye on the Heavenly Court the whole time!
The moment Dijun and the others figured it out, he would immediately take his brothers and run for it!
Unfortunately, these fellows hadn't noticed!
This also made Dijiang heave a sigh of relief!
At the same time, he urged, "Hurry up, get it done neatly so we can leave!"
"Right, Elder Brother, the treasures have all been packed up, but this Fusang Divine Tree—I feel like it might be helpful for my cultivation!"
Zhurong nodded, and only then did his gaze fall upon the Fusang Divine Tree!
When they had first arrived, he had felt that this item shared an affinity with him!
It was just that they had been busy collecting treasures back then and hadn't had the time to deal with it!
And now!
Everything else was done!
Naturally, he had his eyes on it!
"Oh?"
"You cultivate the Law of Fire, and the Fusang Divine Tree does too. If that's the case..."
Upon hearing this, Dijiang paused in surprise before recalling that this item indeed seemed to have an affinity with Zhurong!
"Then chop it down and take it back, but be careful—make sure Dijun doesn't discover you!"
He waved his hand and said!
Since it shared an affinity with his younger brother!
Then he was sorry!
Chop it down!
"Got it, Elder Brother, just watch me!"
Zhurong let out a loud laugh!
Boom!
An axe appeared in his hand, and he slashed directly toward the Fusang Divine Tree!
Rumble!
The next moment!
Before his axe even touched the Fusang Divine Tree, the entire Sun Star shook violently!
Then, an intense light flared up around the Sun Star, enveloping it in the blink of an eye!
"Not good, it's the protective grand formation of the Sun Star!"
Instantly, the expressions of Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches, as well as Jieyin and Zunti, changed completely!
"Hm?"
"Damn it, someone has broken into the Sun Star!"
Inside the Yao Clan Heavenly Court, Dijun's expression suddenly shifted, and he shouted with sudden fury!
"Second Brother, come with me quickly!"
With a flash of his figure, he dashed toward the Sun Star!
Previously, fearing that someone might steal the Law of Fire from the Fusang Divine Tree, he had linked the Fusang Divine Tree together with the Sun Star formation!
The moment the protective grand formation activated just now, he had felt it instantly!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi nodded and immediately followed!
Even the powerful figures of the Yao Clan did the same!
"Elder Brother, what should we do? We can't break through this protective grand formation!"
The Ancestral Witches asked anxiously!
"It's fine, chop down this tree first. I'll hide you in the void, and we'll head out once the formation opens up!"
Dijiang frowned slightly and said!
Boom!
As soon as his voice fell!
He threw a punch straight at the Fusang Divine Tree!
Crack!
In an instant, the Fusang Divine Tree toppled over. He immediately gathered the Fusang Divine Tree and concealed the Ancestral Witches and himself!
However, while they managed to hide themselves!
Jieyin and Zunti were panicking now!
Zunti looked at Jieyin and said, "Senior Brother, what do we do now? Didn't you say we wouldn't be discovered? How is it that we've only picked up such a tiny bit of stuff and we're already being found out?"
Zunti was thoroughly depressed at this point!
He had originally hoped to acquire a few more treasures!
Who would have thought they'd only collected a bunch of junk, before even getting started on the major treasures!
And now they were about to be caught!
This was far too tragic!
"Alas, I don't know either!"
"Let's hide first, it'll be fine!"
Jieyin sighed, though he wasn't overly panicked, and likewise hid along with Zunti!
Boom!
"Surround this place and search it inch by inch! I want to see just who dares to come and run wild on my Sun Star!"
Sure enough, no sooner had they hidden themselves!
The Sun Star trembled once more!
The protective grand formation opened up!
Then, they saw Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi marching in with countless Yao Clan experts, their faces filled with murderous intent!
All around the Sun Star, a dense army of Yao soldiers filled the space!
"This... Elder Brother, if it's like this, won't it be hard for us to get out?"
Zhurong looked at Dijiang with some worry!
The other Ancestral Witches felt the same way!
"It's fine, just watch me!"
Dijiang's eyes rolled!
His gaze fell upon Jieyin and Zunti, who were likewise hiding in the void but had not noticed them yet!
Bang!
The next instant!
The Law of Space surged, and with a flash, Jieyin and Zunti were blasted right out into the open!
"Ah!"
Jieyin and Zunti had been hiding and trying to figure out how to escape!
When suddenly they found themselves standing right before the crowd of Yao members!
"Jieyin! Zunti!"
Instantly, Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi flew into a rage, their eyes blazing as if holding destruction itself as they roared!
Although they had long known these two were shameless!
They never imagined!
That these two could be *this* shameless!
Daring to take advantage of them dealing with the heavenly punishment to raid their base camp!
They were simply courting death!
"Uh, well, Fellow Daoist Dijun, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, this is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
Jieyin and Zunti forced awkward smiles!
They immediately wanted to bolt!
"Take them down!"
Dijun suddenly shouted in a furious roar!
Boom!
Instantly, the Hetu and Luoshu erupted, and the power of the stars was unleashed!
Clang!
Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn't hesitate either, slamming down with the Chaos Bell!
"Two Fellow Daoists, it really is a misunderstanding! We didn't take anything—no, we just took a bit of garbage!"
Jieyin and Zunti dodged while explaining with tears in their eyes!
"Garbage?!"
"Good, very good, Jieyin and Zunti! You two steal the treasures of my Sun Star, and you still dare to call them garbage? I won't let you get away with this!"
Dijun was so enraged that he roared!
Normally!
Jieyin and Zunti were disciples of the Dao Ancestor and destined Saints!
Even if Dijun felt anger!
There would still be limits!
Yet right now!
These two fellows had simply gone too far!
They stole his things!
And still had the audacity to call them garbage!
How could they not be furious?
In an instant, Dijun drove his Hetu and Luoshu to their absolute limit!
"Die!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi also let out an angry roar!
"Stop!"
Yet, the next moment, just as both sides were fired up and ready to fight to the death!
A cold voice rang out from the void!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared!
