As the nine flames struck the Ifrit King, it actually grew stronger.
Bang!
The Ifrit King quickly made its counterattack, snatching out with a black-red claw. Flames extended from its body, turning into long and sharp whips that lashed at the Doomsday Behemoth.
Pa! The searing Ifrit whip, several thousand feet long, struck the Doomsday Behemoth's body.
One lash instantly left a deep wound on one of the necks of the Doomsday Behemoth. It appeared to have been seared into the flesh, black smoke pouring from it.
Raaaah!
The Doomsday Behemoth shrieked from the immense pain.
The pain inflicted by this whip exceeded all of the damage done to it by the King Apes, ballistae, and six-armed Garudas.
The Doomsday Behemoth crazily swayed its body, trying to break free of the Ifrit whip on its neck, but as it struggled, the true nightmare arrived. Boom! The Ifrit King instantly unleashed its strength, a torrent of flame rushing at the Doomsday Behemoth and directly impacting on its body.
Raaaah!
The Doomsday Behemoth howled in pain, its nine pairs of eyes filled with fear. It continued to struggle, but it was incapable of escaping the Ifrit King that was already rushing at it.
In a red flash of light, the massive Ifrit King transformed into a fiery streak and vanished into the one of the mouths of the Doomsday Behemoth, entering its body.
There was a scream, and in the blink of an eye, one of the Doomsday Behemoth's heads burst into flames.
No one had expected this sudden development.
This Ifrit King appeared to be the bane of the Doomsday Behemoths!
The situation was rapidly reversed. With the entry of the Ifrit King and the Nine Provinces Universal Formation, the battle began to turn against the Celestial Army and the Celestial God Organization.
From the sky, one would be able to see the millions of human soldiers becoming like sawblades, tearing away at the million-some soldiers of the Celestial Army.
The powerful Celestial Army, when suppressed by the earth veins of the continent, was nothing more than an army made of clay.
"Kill!"
As war cries rang out, swaths of the golden-armored Celestial Army were cut down by the Nine Provinces Universal Formation.
In the middle of the formation, each Celestial Army soldier was surrounded by human soldiers. Whether it was the Celestial Army or the Celestial God Organization, they had always relied on overwhelming strength to defeat their foes and destroy civilization after civilization.
Skill had never been their forte. The Nine Provinces Universal Formation closed around them like an ever-tightening net, and many of them didn't even know what was going on as they were cut down in a flurry of blades.
Even the tightest armor would have a chink. Moreover, the immense energy of the earth veins was severely restricting the formations and inscriptions on their armor.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Wave after wave of the Celestial Army soldiers continued to fall. One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, eight hundred thousand… the Celestial Army soldiers were being slain at a dizzying speed.
It was a simply unbelievable rate!
When the Nine Provinces Universal Formation activated, the millions of humans merged together. The Celestial Army was not fighting individual human soldiers right now, but the entirety of the human army.
This was simply impossible to defeat!
Essence Supreme, who was battling with the Demonic Emperor Old Man, sensed the shift on the battlefield and was both shocked and enraged.
"Stop them!"
Though he was in the depths of spacetime with the Demonic Emperor Old Man, he was not actually very far away. He had never imagined that the human army would reverse the battle in so little time.
There was no doubt that this was a trap!
They had been lured away so that all this could transpire!
Essence Supreme emerged from the void and returned to the battlefield.
"All soldiers, hear my order! Destroy their formation eyes! Destroy the cauldrons!"
He had extremely sharp eyes, and he was able to tell at a glance that the Nine Cauldrons of the Central Plains were playing a crucial role.
Essence Supreme was strong enough that if he was set on avoiding battle, not even the Demonic Emperor Old Man could do anything about it.
Buzz!
Essence Supreme blurred through the air, harnessing the power of spacetime as he made his way toward a cauldron.
The cauldron was protected by a powerful formation, but Essence Supreme would be able to force his way through it with his cultivation.
Torrents of Stellar Energy attempted to impede his path, but Essence Supreme dodged all of them.
Bang!
But just when Essence Supreme was about to arrive, the fabric of space trembled, and a golden-white light descended from the sky, transforming into an energy barrier that barred his path.
The Halo of Spacetime that Essence Supreme had unleashed struck the golden-white energy barrier and was instantly shattered.
"Essence Supreme, it's about time things came to an end!" A voice boomed, and a figure appeared above that energy barrier.
This man wore a long and spotless white robe, and while his voice was deep and resonant, his appearance was extremely young.
But most striking of all was his bald and shiny head.
This was a white-robed monk.
Though this monk appeared young, he had a pair of frosty eyebrows. He had a gentle expression, but there was an indescribably profound and timeworn aura on his face.
This man had his palms together as he floated in the air, and it did not seem like he had done anything too shocking, but Essence Supreme shuddered at the sight of this man.
"Unity Supreme!"
Essence Supreme was so frightened that even his voice was shaking.
Unity Supreme had a more familiar name that mortals called him: the High Monk of the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple!
He was the most unique of all of them, and it wasn't just because he secluded himself in the Tibetan Plateau, rarely leaving it, but also because of his strength.
Unity Supreme was stronger than Genesis Supreme.
Back before the Celestial Palace incident, even though Essence Supreme's group had Heaven's avatar, the first ones they had sought were Origin Supreme and Luo Supreme, not Unity Supreme, and this was precisely because of his strength.
Those who knew Unity Supreme well would have many apprehensions about him.
Unity Supreme was so strong that even the three of them working together might not be able to beat him.
Fortunately, Unity Supreme rarely left the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple, regardless of what was happening in the outside world.
It was precisely because he believed Unity Supreme to be deeply rooted in his base that Essence Supreme was stunned to see him here.
With Heaven lured by Wang Chong into the depths of spacetime, Unity Supreme was the one person Essence Supreme had not wished to see on this battlefield.
"Essence Supreme, it's time for things to end! What Heaven is doing is wrong and should be stopped!" Unity Supreme said with a calm expression.
"Didn't you agree with him back then?" Essence Supreme said, fear on his face.
"You are incorrect. We never approved of his plan, neither me nor Origin Supreme. This is the reason we left the Celestial God Organization.
"We once believed in Heaven, but in the end, it is clear that this way is wrong," Unity Supreme sternly said.
"But why now? Why this time, this epoch?" Essence Supreme sternly said.
"I cannot tell you too much. All I can say is that this epoch is somewhat different from the others, different from all the other epochs we have experienced. Heaven's madness should end here.
"No matter what he is planning, the lives of all other creatures should not be the price," Unity Supreme said.
"High Monk!" A voice came from nearby. The refined and scholarly figure of Dalon Trinling had ridden over on a horse and was now bowing to the floating figure of the High Monk.
"I must trouble Venerable One for this matter."
When he next raised his head, there was a faint smile on Dalon Trinling's lips. There was one thing that Essence Supreme was wrong about. Wang Chong had little to do with Unity Supreme's appearance. In truth, it was because Dalon Trinling had paid a personal visit to the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple to request the High Monk's aid.
The fate of the world, including the lives of Ü-Tsang's millions of people, were at stake here, so even the Tsenpo had joined him in beseeching the High Monk for his assistance.
Fortunately, the High Monk had ultimately agreed.
"It seems that you're determined to oppose us!"
Essence Supreme's face chilled as he understood that there was no room for negotiation. Grotto Heaven energy roared within his body as he prepared to strike.
The Celestial Army could not lose, nor could the Celestial God Organization, and certainly not Heaven. No matter what, they needed to destroy the human army's formation.
"Give up, Essence Supreme. You know that you are no match for me."
Unity Supreme was unperturbed by Essence Supreme's swelling energy.
But Essence Supreme chose to attack. In a flash of light, thousands of vibrating Halos of Spacetime appeared, all of them sweeping toward Unity Supreme, determined to destroy everything in their path.
And at the same moment, Essence Supreme disappeared.
"Haaah…"
Unity Supreme let out a long sigh. He appeared to not even see all the Halos of Spacetime howling toward him. He simply extended a hand so white and glossy that it seemed to be made of jade and lightly thrust out his palm.
The palm breezily pushed forward, but a moment later, there was a howling explosion as all of the Halos of Spacetime were instantly obliterated.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Essence Supreme was blasted out of the void, vomiting blood. The immense energy sent him flying tens of thousands of feet, and his hair was unbound and his clothes splashed with blood.
With one palm, a single palm, Unity Supreme had heavily injured Essence Supreme!
"Essence Supreme!!"
With cries of alarm, two figures appeared at Essence Supreme's side: Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme.
"Unity Supreme, you dare!"
The two of them supported Essence Supreme as they angrily glared at Unity Supreme.
