“Ah, open for me!” Wang Er roared, truly panicked, as the battle halberd in his hand trembled violently, threatening to slip away.
This sent chills down his spine—this was an immortal artifact, personally forged by his grandfather, whom he had never met, and infused with a lifetime of devotion.
The peerless halberd could sever the river of time itself.
Yet now, it was being restrained. Below, a dazzling vortex surged upward, countless stars swirling within like a celestial domain emerging, intent on swallowing the halberd whole.
**Boom!**
The halberd erupted with radiant light, immortal mist billowing, auspicious clouds surging, and an earth-shaking killing intent erupted as Wang Er mustered all his strength to resist the devouring force below.
**Boom!**
The heavens trembled, the earth resonated.
Faintly, from the depths beneath, the sound of chanting scriptures arose, as if a golden ant were expounding the Dao, comprehending the Great Path, influencing the entire world.
“Get away from me!” Wang Er bellowed. He could not afford to lose this halberd—otherwise, he would become the eternal disgrace of the Wang Clan.
The halberd blazed with light, unleashing intricate patterns—true immortal engravings now fully awakened. It tore free from the mysterious vortex, attempting to flee.
**Roar!**
A deafening roar echoed, like that of a primordial beast. Amidst the chaotic mist, a cauldron could vaguely be seen rising and sinking beneath the earth.
The Primordial Mother Cauldron—a weapon of the supreme, once belonging to the Heavenly Horned Ant in an ancient era!
During the Immortal Ancient Age, it had shaken generation after generation, for it was the heaviest weapon in history. No starry river, sun, moon, or mountain could withstand its crushing weight.
Its material was extraordinary, excavated from the Chaos Sea—indestructible, enduring through countless eons, refined to perfection.
Even a mere projection of this cauldron could collapse mountains and rivers.
Shi Hao had once experienced this firsthand when he entered the underground immortal ruins and lifted the cauldron—though it was only a projection, not the true artifact.
Among the young supremes who ventured below, only he could lift it. Others couldn’t even budge the projection!
Such was the terrifying might of this weapon—its weight could crush the heavens and suppress ancient epochs.
Now, with a single shout from the old soldier, harnessing the cauldron’s power, he sought to seize the Wang Clan’s immortal halberd!
Beneath the earth lay great secrets. Among the nine mountains of the immortal ruins, one was the Heavenly Horned Ant’s ancient domain—where its weapon lay hidden!
**Boom!**
The halberd, which had just broken free, was suddenly pulled back by an immense force, ripples forming in the air.
“How can this be? Our Wang Clan’s Eternal Halberd is second to none! How can it be suppressed by a mere cauldron? Get away!” Wang Er roared in desperation.
This had never happened before!
“Have you forgotten where you are? Do you even know what lies beneath the Heavenly Deity Academy? This is no place for your Wang Clan to act recklessly!” Shi Hao said coldly.
He knew well—the remains of the Heavenly Horned Ant, one of the Ten Fierce, lay here, exerting immense influence over the cauldron.
**Clang!**
The old soldier struck, his sword embryo slashing down onto the Eternal Halberd, beginning the battle for possession.
“No! Help me!” Wang Er screamed, his eyes bulging, all arrogance gone as cold sweat drenched him.
“Did you think the Wang Clan has no one left?”
At that moment, multiple voices rang out. Three more figures emerged from the warship, joining Wang Da in activating their ancestor’s decree.
With Wang Da and Wang Er, five dragons of the Wang Clan now stood united!
Some wielded fragments of lower-grade decrees, hurling them like flying daggers through the air, gleaming lethally.
These shattered decrees, remnants of past battles, no longer held their former immortal might but still possessed formidable power.
Earlier, Wang Zhen had led thousands of elite soldiers here, carrying similar fragments.
**Boom!**
Wang Da’s decree was of the highest caliber, crafted by their grandfather. Though cracked, its intricate engravings unleashed devastating force.
The decree’s material was extraordinary, capable of bearing the supreme power of ancient times.
Despite the wear of time and countless battles, its immortal might remained undiminished—otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to restrain the sword embryo alongside the Eternal Halberd earlier.
“Seize!”
The group activated the decree, a golden radiance enveloping Wang Er and yanking him back onto the warship.
The vessel shrank, its oppressive aura receding as it retreated countless miles in an instant.
“Hmph, the Primordial Mother Cauldron is mighty, but it remains sealed underground. It is not yet time for its awakening. Beyond the academy’s reach, it cannot unleash its full power,” Wang San said coldly.
The Wang Clan steadied themselves. Wang Er, no longer panicked, scowled darkly. “A mere fluke. Do you really think you can stop us? I said I would erase the Heavenly Deity Academy from existence—and I will!”
“Second Brother, stop boasting. If you’ve got the guts, come down here! I’ll beat you to a pulp!” the golden ant from the academy taunted lazily.
The mockery darkened Wang Er’s face, his gray-white hair fluttering in the chaotic mist, his gaze terrifying.
“Long-range assault! Annihilate the Heavenly Deity Academy!” Wang Da commanded.
The Nine Dragons of the Wang Clan were peerless, each a supreme expert unmatched in this era. With five gathered, wielding immortal weapons, who could oppose them?
**Boom!**
The warship blazed as Wang Da activated the decree and Wang Er unleashed the Eternal Halberd, their combined assault engulfing the entire academy.
**Whoosh!**
Yet the vortex beneath the academy remained, surging into the sky, devouring all divine power directed at it.
“This…” The five dragons gasped.
Even the ancient beings watching through divine mirrors paled in shock.
The Primordial Mother Cauldron stood as an impenetrable shield.
“Impossible! How can the cauldron be this powerful? It’s as if a true immortal is controlling it!”
“Should we awaken our Eternal Halberd fully?”
Their faces twisted—doing so would come at a great cost.
“Attack! I refuse to believe the cauldron can sustain this forever!” Wang Da bellowed.
**Swoosh!**
At that moment, the five old soldiers soared into the sky, charging toward the five dragons.
“Good! Without the cauldron’s protection, what can you do against immortal weapons?” one of the dragons sneered.
“Your reckoning has come!”
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the warship—Great Elder Meng Tianzheng had arrived.
“You—old bastard! Weren’t you at the border? How are you back?!” Wang Er’s heart clenched.
The five dragons stiffened, faces ashen. Though confident, the elder’s presence filled them with dread.
“Kill him!” Wang Da roared, directing the immortal decree at the elder.
Spectators from distant clans watched in awe. With the elder’s sudden appearance, the five dragons were in grave danger—they had walked into a trap.
“Slay!”
Two dragons jointly activated the decree, unleashing a torrent of immortal light toward the elder.
With a flick of his wrist, the elder unfurled the Immortal King’s Shroud, its power shaking the heavens, even dislodging nearby celestial bodies.
The shroud blazed, suppressing the decree.
“Ancestral decree, how dare you defy it? Be crushed!” Wang Da thundered.
“A mere decree dares challenge a battle flag stained with the blood of two Immortal Kings? Hand it over!” The elder’s shroud enveloped the sky, swallowing the decree whole before tossing it into the academy’s depths, where the cauldron consumed it.
“No! Return it!” The dragons trembled.
**Boom!**
Simultaneously, the five old soldiers arrived, wielding the Great Luo Sword Embryo and their own weapons, engaging the dragons in battle.
“Fight to the death!”
The dragons roared, brandishing the Eternal Halberd against the veterans.
What followed was a cataclysmic clash—blades flashed, swords split the sky, halberds crushed the firmament.
“The five dragons are formidable!”
Hidden observers shuddered, realizing the veterans—survivors of the Immortal Ancient War—were being matched blow for blow.
Yet as the battle raged, the veterans’ combat instincts awakened, their power escalating.
**Thud!**
Wang Er coughed blood, his arm severed by the sword embryo, the halberd torn from his grasp.
One by one, the dragons were struck down, blood spraying as they were sent flying.
**Bang!**
The five veterans, unstoppable, captured them all.
“Five worms, where’s your bravado now? You came to destroy us, yet you’re the ones being cooked alive!” the golden ant jeered.
