This enraged Haotian. Unable to contain his fury any longer, he pounced like a cornered beast. He raised his hand and struck out at Guangchengzi, unleashing a bolt of brilliant immortal power that crackled like lightning, surging with enough force to annihilate his enemy instantly. Guangchengzi’s expression shifted, his casual air vanishing to be replaced by a flicker of tension. He hastily raised the Fantian Seal to defend himself. A deafening "boom" shook the very air, as if the heavens and earth were about to shatter. The powerful shockwave sent the surrounding clouds into a violent frenzy; the pristine white drifts churned like a raging sea. The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals scrambled backward in terror, many stumbling and falling to the ground.
Just as the standoff reached its breaking point, a ray of auspicious light appeared in the sky, soft and radiant, like a beacon of hope in the darkness. Yuanshi Tianzun manifested. He wore a white Daoist robe, immaculate and radiating an air of holiness. He seemed to glow with a divine light that made it impossible to look directly at him. His presence caused the entire world to go quiet, and every gaze fixed upon him.
"Cease this at once!" Yuanshi Tianzun’s voice echoed through the firmament like a great bell, carrying an authority that compelled immediate obedience. The crowd fell silent, and the rowdy South Heaven Gate became deathly still.
