"It’s terrifying..."

The tall figure holding Zhang Xiaoyun spoke with a heavy voice filled with incredulity and even a hint of fear.

Zhang Xiaoyun, being very sensitive, picked up on it. She hadn’t yet emerged from the despair caused by the High Priest’s death, but she could now feel the remaining War Priest beside her growing fearful.

For a moment, the power of the Ancient Demons still existed, but there seemed to be an imminent threat of collapse.

"What is terrifying about it?" Zhang Xiaoyun steadied her mind and asked.

"Both of them are terrifying people," the War Priest said in a gloomy voice. "The Emperor’s power is something I have never seen within my own bloodline. Within those of King Level, this power might even be more overbearing than that of King Xiang from years past, and what’s even more terrifying is the person opposite him, that woman’s control power is simply unimaginable. "

"Could the High Priest see what technique that woman used? Why was she able to make the Emperor of the Human Race’s power disappear?"

Zhang Xiaoyun was also extremely curious at this point. The Emperor of the Human Race’s power was inconceivably strong, and the woman who managed to withstand that power was even more terrifying. While the Emperor’s punch might still be somewhat explainable, the woman’s technique was different.

It felt very strange because even she could tell that the woman couldn’t possibly withstand that power by brute force. She relied on some kind of technique.

"I can probably make out a bit," the War Priest said with narrowed eyes. "It should be the Taiji Diagram!"

"Taiji Diagram?" Zhang Xiaoyun was taken aback.

"The composition of the world begins with Taiji, which gives birth to the Two Elements and then the Four Symbols. Now this Imperial Palace has the pattern of the Four Symbols Great Array, and this woman makes extreme use of it. She controls the power of the Four Symbols, inverts the Two Elements, and creates a vortex-like Law. The Emperor’s power hasn’t disappeared, but is being similarly reversed and dissolved by her technique. "

"Reversed and dissolved?"

"The elements of the Four Symbols are all being reversed back into the Two Elements. No matter how powerful the Emperor’s power is, it is still a force that evolves within the world’s rules and has never escaped the origin of Taiji.

Therefore, after being inverted, her power can only be forcefully dissolved to achieve the woman’s Two Elements. "

Zhang Xiaoyun was confused, "Isn’t the Taiji Diagram a secret technique of the Taoist Palace?"

"Buddha originally comes from the Taoist Sect.

.." the War Priest said deeply. "The Law of the Two Elements is not some profound secret.

The reason why no one uses it is because it is extremely difficult to manifest, to make all surrounding Laws return in reverse.

Usually, this is done through a Formation.

The Two Elements Formation is one of the top Great Formations of the Taoist Palace and has not been passed down because of its extreme difficulty.

It requires an Array Master of the Taoist Master level to set up, and without a Formation, just by Casting Spells to form the Two Elements is something I have never heard of! "

Zhang Xiaoyun: "...."

"Although that person utilized the surrounding Four Symbols pattern, but to say it again, this is also too terrifying... this woman... I finally understand why so many Buddhas died at her hands back then!"

"So... what you mean is, the Emperor of the Human Race is destined to lose?"

The two spoke very quickly. At this moment, the battle had reached a stalemate after just a few moments, and they had communicated hundreds of sentences. But the Priest knew that he couldn’t answer this question.

The power of both individuals was beyond his comprehension. As to who would win and who would lose, he could not predict.

Shenyue’s techniques, though strong, were ultimately too complex. Such a defiance of the heavens was heavily dependent on the surrounding Four Symbols pattern and was not entirely foolproof.

While the Emperor seemed to be at a disadvantage, his power was pure and strong, just purely might, less likely to experience any variables.

In such a situation, the outcome wasn’t necessarily in Shenyue’s favor, of course.

.. provided Shenyue made a mistake in her operation.

If she could perfectly control the Two Elements throughout, the Emperor of the Human Race would have no chance of victory!

-------------------------------

I’m going to lose...

At this moment, though the Emperor’s eyes were still filled with fighting spirit without any hesitation, he knew in his heart that he... was going to lose!

The power of the opponent didn’t seem to be something that could be broken through by sheer violence. He felt that even if he advanced another level, it would be the same outcome. This move that directly dismantled power into its origin was just too shameless!

"Why didn’t you use such a technique earlier?" At the last moment, he couldn’t restrain himself anymore. At least... he wanted to know the reason for his defeat.

"It’s not that I didn’t use it earlier, but you forced me to do so.

.. because before this, I didn’t know I could achieve it!

" As Shenyue spoke, her onion-like fingers were already placed on the Emperor’s fist, and that terrifying, astonishing power was now completely reversed, including the Emperor himself, who in the next moment, would be thoroughly broken down into the most primitive essence of this world.

"This place harbors the pattern of the Four Symbols Great Array, its complex content of elements may be sparse, but to achieve the reversal of the Taiji, it is still not easy, just like re-planning and rearranging billions of elements, any slight error could lead to the failure of the reversal, and I would die under your fist."

"Oh, King of the Human Race, to have pushed me to this extent, you are truly worthy of the title of king!"

"Is that so?" The Emperor suddenly felt very calm at this moment.

After bearing the weight of humiliation for many years, the time had finally come to realize his wild ambitions, yet he had still lost.

He had thought there would be a great deal of unwillingness, but for some reason, there was not the slightest bit in his heart; instead, there was an unprecedented calm.

Realizing there was no chance left, he actually felt a rare sense of relief.

He was going to lose!

In the distance, the Sparrow Bee finally made that judgment.

The Empress’s brow furrowed deeply, her eyes cold with intensity, her vibrant power seemed ready to explode at any moment, but the Sparrow Bee stepped in front of her first.

"You can’t win," the Sparrow Bee said calmly, "The Taiji Array of the Taoist Palace is the peak of magic arrays, and to cast spells that have such an effect, albeit not reaching the standards of the Taiji Array, once this phenomenon appears, only laws of the same level can contend with it, Taiji is the direct source, and with the power you possess of the Mortal Realm, you will not stand the slightest chance, please harbor no illusions of luck. "

"You have already acquired one of the Four Saints, and our troops have not suffered significant losses.

The army is still intact. For a leader to go and fight a life-and-death battle that is almost certain to lose is a foolish move.

I believe that I have pledged allegiance to someone who is not a fool! "

Empress: "...."

Is it really going to end like this?

For the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in the eyes of the Empress. Since the time she and her brother decided to rebel against the demons of the world, she had contemplated such an outcome, just not that it would come so swiftly.

"Your Highness?"

Behind her, the generals of the Ghost Race stepped forward one after another.

"Withdraw!" The Empress raised her hand, making the most calm and ruthless decision!

The Sparrow Bee was right, she... couldn’t win either!

Boom!

Suddenly, a scene that no one expected occurred.

The Four Saints Domain constructed by the Imperial Palace, quite suddenly, collapsed in an instant!

Like shards of glass, the location of the Four Symbols Palace, that abnormal celestial phenomenon, exploded thunderously, without the slightest sign.

This spectacle directly startled thousands of Ancient Demons, who then let out terrible wails.

Zhang Xiaoyun also stared intently in all directions, what on earth had happened?

"Is everyone here?" A clear and cool voice appeared above the highest point of the Four Saints Array, at the crucial point of the array, there was a figure that seemed to blend into the moonlight.

"I hope I’m... not too late?"

Everyone looked over, and almost everyone recognized that figure....

"Zi Yue?" Zhang Xiaoyun was taken aback, including the war priests beside her, as everyone was stunned, who would have thought that she would be the cause of all this?

"Hm?" The Empress was also startled, but she immediately snapped back to attention, turning sharply to look towards the Emperor.

Shenyue’s Taiji Diagram was surrounded by the pattern of the Four Saints, but what if the pattern was broken?
