The Gods in the temple watched with half-smiles. They could sense the Holy Artifacts’ aura emanating from Bu Fang. They had come back from the other universes to acquire these artifacts, for only through these artifacts could they obtain stronger power. There was an ultimate secret on the Ancestral Planet, and they had returned to uncover it.

“Hand them over to us… and you will live,” said the blond man with the scepter. He was Zeus, a being as formidable as an Immortal Emperor. He had lost to the Western Church in the struggle for the Holy Artifacts, but he did not reject the invitation to deal with this Immortal from the East, who possessed two Holy Artifacts.

According to their research, the Holy Artifacts themselves could not bring them any significant improvement in terms of strength. However, as something that had gathered all the spiritual energy of the Ancestral Planet, they were definitely something extraordinary.

They thought perhaps they had to gather all four Holy Artifacts to find out their secret. Therefore, these Gods had come to uncover the secret.

Hagens was smiling kindly. The pages of the book in his hand were flipping, and golden characters kept flying out of them, joining in midair into long strings of mysterious scripture. Meanwhile, the light emanating from the six-pointed star had enveloped Bu Fang, tangling his body like invisible chains.

Xiao Ai was horrified. She glanced over her shoulder and saw that a glinting cross had been erected behind her, and she was nailed on it, unable to move. She turned to look at Bu Fang, Nethery, and the Empyrean Fairy, and found that they had already crushed their crosses. She started to regret her decision of coming with them, for she was too weak to even fend for herself…

Bu Fang rose to his feet and glanced at Hagens. The smile on the old man’s face annoyed him. But he did not mind. He just wondered if the old man could still smile like this later. Just as he was about to make a move, however, he heard a rumbling sound approaching from the distant sky.

That gave him pause. With his divine sense, he detected an extremely terrifying aura, which was so strong that it made him take a deep breath. ‘This aura is strong… In fact, it is almost identical to that of a Heavengod!’

The moment Bu Fang sensed the aura, Hagens noticed it as well, and his pupils constricted. “Ah…Our distinguished guest from Hua is here… Are you really not going to hand us the two Holy Artifacts? With so many Gods here, do you still think you have a chance to escape? I admire your confidence, but it is because of this confidence that you will plunge into a situation that is beyond redemption…” Hagens said.

He turned toward the entrance. Outside, a mass of flickering light descended from the sky. Then, a graceful figure emerged from it, emitting colorful light that dazzled all eyes.

A beautiful phoenix was flapping its wings beside the figure. It was a real phoenix, which was totally different from the colorful peacock Bu Fang had met in the past. It possessed a lofty might and aura.

“The Queen Mother of the West…” The pupils of the Empyrean Fairy, who was also trapped in the six-pointed star, constricted, and she muttered. She was no stranger to this woman.

The Kun Bird on Bu Fang’s shoulder also bowed its head slightly as if it was afraid of the woman.

“The Queen Mother of the West?” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. This was so far the strongest Immortal he had met. Her aura was almost as strong as a Heavengod, but she was not a Heavengod. She was just an Immortal Emperor. However, this was not the aura he detected earlier, the one that made him take a deep breath.

He raised his head and looked into the distance. A beam of light was approaching from that direction, tearing through the air at great speed. A few moments later, it had arrived, hovering in midair.

Four swords wheeled in the sky, and beneath them, a Daoist sat cross-legged on an auspicious cloud with a colorful ring of light behind his head. The moment he appeared, all the spiritual energy in the area seemed to boil.

Cardinal Hagens’s pupils constricted with fear. At this moment, a rumbling sound echoed out from the depths of the castle. It was as though a supreme being had woken up. Sure enough, an old man clad in a golden robe emerged in midair a short while later, emanating a terrifying aura to fight with the Daoist’s aura.

“Greetings, Your Holiness!” Hagens bowed respectfully, for God spoke through the Pope on Earth.

The Daoist glanced indifferently at the Pope, ignored him, then turned to look at Bu Fang. “So… You are that evil man who killed my Immortals?” he said in a deafening voice.

Bu Fang raised his brows and glanced at the Daoist. He seemed to have guessed the Daoist’s identity. ‘He should be the almighty expert mentioned by Yang Jian, who returned from the Primitive Universe and is restricted by the power of the Ancestral Planet…’

‘Sect Leader… Tongtian!” the Empyrean Fairy muttered and took a deep breath. ‘How did the Western Church manage to invite Sect Leader Tongtian here? This doesn’t make sense! With his lofty status, they should not be able to get him here!’

A look of suspicion came into the fairy’s eyes. ‘I can understand why the Queen Mother of the West is here. This woman can do anything for power, and she will even torture mortals for the so-called rules and honor.

‘But Sect Leader Tongtian is… the leader of a sect. He is not so easy to be invited. Is he attracted by the so-called Holy Artifacts as well? Are they really so important?’

‘Sect Leader Tongtian?’ Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. He was beginning to find the situation a little tricky to handle. He thought that he had been overconfident. After facing no obstacles on Earth, he had forgotten some mighty existences. This Sect Leader Tongtian was definitely someone who could pose him a threat.

Sect Leader Tongtian looked at Bu Fang and said nothing. Then, he glanced around and immediately understood what was happening. “It’s been a long time, Queen Mother of the West,” he said, nodding at the woman.

The Queen Mother nodded back. She would not make the Daoist her enemy. Of all the beings that had returned to the Ancestral Planet, Sect Leader Tongtian was the strongest!

“Greetings, Your Excellency. I’m Cardinal Hagens of the Western Church, God’s spokesperson on Earth.

“Thank you for coming at our invitation to appraise the four Holy Artifacts. However, two of them are still possessed by this evil man. I hope Your Excellency will join us in killing him, so we can gather all four Holy Artifacts and experience the miracle brought to us by the Ancestral Planet…”

Hagens looked at Sect Leader Tongtian with a fiery gaze. He had never underestimated Hua’s Immortals, which could be seen from how he had carefully set up a trap for Bu Fang. Hua was a strange country, and the appearance of Sect Leader Tongtian had proven that.
