Top-tier Dao Lords, like the Four Great Guardians, were stronger than ordinary Dao Lords by a notch.
Then there were the supreme Dao Lords, such as Grandmother Yinhua, who could rank in the top twenty within the Ancient Region of Overturning Seas.
Above them were the pinnacle Dao Lords.
In the entire Ancient Region of Overturning Seas, there were only three.
One of them was Heavenly Lord Yuhua, whose combat power barely reached the level of a pinnacle Dao Lord.
The other two were the Two-faced Buddha and Yang Dingtian.
Both of them were pinnacle Dao Lords.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian had already reached the level of an extreme Dao Lord, and with continuous growth, he was approaching the consummate Dao Lord level.
Beyond the consummate level was the defying Dao Lord, a being capable of fighting an Emperor.
Such Dao Lords were rare, even in the Sacred Land.
Each of them possessed terrifying power.
Once they merged their Dao to become an Emperor, they could rival the Lord of the Ancient Court. After further growth, they would surpass the Lord of the Ancient Court and reach the level of the Sacred Lord.
The Two-faced Buddha carefully considered the situation and knew that the people outside couldn’t be relied upon anymore. So, he sent a message to recall the three silver puppets.
He also retracted the God-slaying war weapon into the formation.
This maneuver left the others dumbfounded.
“I haven’t even gone inside yet?”
The few remaining people within the Five Immortal Formation, along with several Dao Lords, were stunned.
The Palace Lord didn’t care about their lives anymore.
They swiftly surrendered without hesitation.
Although some people within the Five Immortal Formation wanted to surrender, the Nine-step True Immortals controlling the formation had long been enslaved by the Two-faced Buddha.
Without the Two-faced Buddha’s command, they continued to resist, even though they knew their fate. Despite their awareness, they didn’t stop.
Yang Dingtian rushed to the edge of the formation and smashed it with a single punch.
The formation trembled in response.
After testing the strength of the formation, Yang Dingtian was confident that he could break through the outer formation within ten punches.
He glanced at the main battlefield, where his followers and brothers were still fighting.
Though fury filled his heart, he turned around to first assist the coalition in exterminating all resistance from the Five Immortal Formation.
When they finally gathered all the surviving experts and took stock, his heart bled.
More than half of his trusted subordinates had died.
Now, only a few Dao Lords and fewer than a hundred True Immortals remained.
“Forgive me, everyone!” Yang Dingtian said, preparing to kneel.
The others, upon seeing this, rushed forward to stop him.
Meanwhile, Jian Wushuang had disbanded the Five Immortal Formation and concealed himself within the coalition’s ranks, silently observing everything.
Yang Dingtian’s actions didn’t seem staged at all. It was clear that he was overly sentimental.
This was a flaw. Although he had decent talent, achieving Dao Unity would be difficult for him.
He recalled how, back when he was on the verge of Dao Unity, he had slaughtered gods and destroyed buddhas—no one could stop him.
He ventured into the Lower Realm, wreaking havoc in Da Xia.
He was almost devoid of emotion.
In the end, he barely succeeded in achieving Dao Unity.
He had firsthand experience of the challenges of Dao Unity.
But now, in his second life, he no longer needed to worry about such things.
Yang Dingtian’s eyes were bloodshot. Glancing at the familiar faces in the allied forces, he gritted his teeth and declared, “Thank you all for your trust. This time, I, Yang, will forever remember the debt of gratitude for attacking the Two-Faced God Mountain!”
“Brother Yang, no need to be so polite. We all share the same goal of eliminating this scourge. With you leading the charge, it’s only fitting. There’s no need for thanks; we all have the same target!” The city lord of Tiantan City spoke with grand confidence.
Yet it was a sentiment that everyone appreciated.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath. “Very well, I won’t stand on ceremony. Next, I need everyone’s help to break this formation!”
“No problem!”
Everyone readily agreed, after all, victory was in sight.
Soon, they would be able to divide up the treasures of the Two-Faced God’s estate.
Many of Yang Dingtian’s people had already perished, so there wouldn’t be any leftovers to just sip soup—everyone could feast on the spoils.
However, Yang Dingtian was blinded by hatred. He was focused solely on revenge and had no interest in treasures.
“Everyone, follow my command!”
A hum rang out!
A powerful aura began to gather.
Everyone held their breath, ready to launch a coordinated attack on the formation.
But just as they were about to strike, the formation suddenly shattered.
Before their attack even landed, the formation was already gone.
Their combined attack, however, shot straight toward the Two-Faced God Mountain.
Its target was the peak.
At first, everyone was overjoyed, but what followed made every single person tremble.
The Two-Faced God Mountain had suddenly vanished.
Or rather, its peak had disappeared.
The midsection of the mountain remained intact.
The base of the mountain was still there.
But the peak was gone.
In place of the peak was a group of people, all looking equally surprised.
The more they looked, the more familiar those people seemed.
After blinking a few times, everyone finally realized—the people they were seeing were themselves!
Just as they grasped the situation, a terrifyingly familiar aura surged toward them.
“This is… an innate treasure!”
Before they could fully react, a familiar and powerful energy came crashing down upon them.
Yang Dingtian’s face changed dramatically, and he roared, “Get out of the way!”
At that moment, the others also realized that the figures across from them were their own reflections. The terrifying aura was none other than their own combined attack.
Atop the mountain was an ancient treasure—a mirror capable of reflecting everything.
It not only reflected the group but also sent their combined attack right back at them.
The more effort they had put into their initial strike, the more chaotic their retreat now became.
It was a pitiful sight.
Yang Dingtian was the first to escape the range of the attack, but he couldn’t bear to watch the Dao Masters who had followed him fall. He turned back and started rescuing them one by one.
But those Nine-Step True Immortals weren’t as lucky. The power of the combined strike was enough to kill them all.
In the blink of an eye, over a thousand Nine-Step True Immortals had perished.
There were only just over a thousand Nine-Step True Immortals in the entire Overturning Sea Ancient Domain.
With the previous casualties combined, the number of Nine-Step True Immortals left in the Overturning Sea Ancient Domain was now negligible.
As the bodies continued to fall, Yang Dingtian clenched his teeth, tightened his fists, and forcibly pushed his divine power to its limit. He charged headlong into the oncoming strike.
“Brother Yang!!!”
“Yang Dingtian!”
The Dao Masters who had been rescued gazed at his retreating figure, their eyes filled with shock.
Although Yang Dingtian had certainly walked the righteous path, no one could believe that, at this moment, he was risking his life to save unfamiliar Nine-Step True Immortals.
Even though they had united to attack the Two-Faced God’s estate, the Nine-Step True Immortals had all volunteered.
Even if Yang Dingtian didn’t save them or simply ignored the situation, no one would have said anything.
But to their surprise, Yang Dingtian was indeed righteous to the core!
“The righteous path is never lonely!”
One white-haired Dao Master couldn’t help but sigh.
It had been so many years since the Ascendant Era had ended, and the Dao system had shifted to competing with the Holy Land.
The line between good and evil had long blurred.
Everyone had become rather neutral, all seekers of the Dao. Who divided between right and wrong anymore?
Someone like the Two-Faced Buddha, if he had existed in the Ascendant Era, would have surely been a demonic cultivator, never able to control such a vast territory.
He certainly wouldn’t have become a saint of a great power.
Yet because of the ongoing struggle between the Holy Land and the Ancient Court, the boundary between right and wrong had disappeared.
The Overturning Sea Ancient Domain was somewhat different. Yang Dingtian and the Two-Faced Buddha had always been at odds due to their differing views on good and evil.
Now, Yang Dingtian was risking his life to save those True Immortals.
