Above the clouds.
Lin Yuan faced thirty-five divine weapons alone.
Compared to the towering divine weapons that rivaled mountains, Lin Yuan appeared exceptionally small, like specks of dust.
However, even under the terrifying pressure of the divine weapons, Lin Yuan remained suspended in the air without showing any signs of distress.
"Who is that?"
"To actually charge in front of the divine weapons?"
"Seeking death!?"
On the side of the thirty-five nations, the emperors raised their eyebrows as they witnessed this scene.
Even if some of the divine weapons had consumed soldiers from their side just moments ago, it only caused them a brief moment of distress. They quickly brushed it off.
Even if all their soldiers were devoured, as long as it led to the complete destruction of the Anti-God Society, the emperors considered it worthwhile.
For the royal families of the thirty-five nations, soldiers were like leeks; if one batch died, another would quickly sprout.
"Is that the master of the Anti-God Society?"
"The emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, right?"
"Indeed, the relationship between the Great Yan Dynasty and the Anti-God Society is significant. The mastermind behind the Anti-God Society might be the Great Yan Dynasty."
"Emperor of the Great Yan, what do you want to do? Declare war against the divine weapons?"
"But did you notice? The divine weapon, the national treasure of the Great Yan Dynasty, hasn't appeared yet."
Countless people looked up at the sky, both within and outside the Five Mountains Battlefield.
The decisive battle between the thirty-five nations and the Anti-God Society attracted the attention of all beings in this world.
Hidden cultivators, and even some remnants of divine weapon consciousness, paid attention.
Eight thousand years ago, the great divine weapon war shattered sixty-four divine weapons, scattering them across the four corners of the world.
Among these fragments, some refused to accept failure, turning into evil weapons and causing chaos.
Others completely gave up and believed that the thirty-six national divine weapons were unbeatable, so they hid away.
To most beings, the Anti-God Society represented the losers of the past—the many evil weapons.
However, the appearance of the Great Yan Emperor undoubtedly surprised the majority.
Putting aside whether Lin Yuan could contend with the thirty-five divine weapons, his current performance alone, ignoring the pressure of the thirty-five divine weapons, was enough to demonstrate that the strength of this Great Yan Emperor far exceeded the limits of the human race in this world.
Keep in mind that even for these evil weapons, facing the current transformed thirty-five divine weapons made them tremble with fear, wishing they could hide in a hole.
"Master, can the master win?"
On the battlefield, many evil weapons, including the Sky-Cleaving Axe, which Lin Yuan had refined, couldn't help but wonder.
They had experienced Lin Yuan's strength up close and knew it was immensely powerful.
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan faced not just one divine weapon, but thirty-five, and they were the last thirty-five to take that crucial step.
Especially the leaders among them, the ones who surpassed other divine weapons eight thousand years ago—how would they fare now?
Above the clouds.
Below the sky.
The thirty-five divine weapons were visibly taken aback.
Their immense spiritual fluctuations swept over Lin Yuan.
But strangely, all the spiritual fluctuations were swallowed up by some force as soon as they approached within three feet of him.
As if Lin Yuan himself were a 'black hole' capable of absorbing everything that came near.
"Interesting"
"Are you truly human?"
A sword-shaped divine weapon emitted spiritual fluctuations with a hint of curiosity.
"Forget whether you're human or not; I can sense the vast sea of your blood and qi within you. Perhaps we can advance further consuming you."
Another divine weapon emitted a greedy spiritual fluctuation.
Boom! A force of divine weapons silently descended.
Lin Yuan's gaze remained calm. Even just looking at the thirty-five divine weapons, he felt as if he were observing some fundamental essence of the world.
"Since everyone is here."
"Then, come in."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand.
That force of divine weapons dissipated.
Not only that.
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted.
The vast and expansive Five Mountains Battlefield, at this moment, emitted a series of auras, forming a giant cage that seemed to be taking shape.
Ten years ago, Lin Yuan emulated the ancient god, and in his first year traversing the world, he smoothly advanced to the fourth rank.
According to the essence of this world's rules, entering the fourth rank deepened Lin Yuan's understanding of the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, he vaguely sensed that the national divine weapons of the other thirty-five countries were also on the verge of a breakthrough.
Lin Yuan attempted to confront the thirty-five divine weapons one by one with the strength of the fourth rank.
However, these divine weapons were very cautious. With Lin Yuan's strength, forcefully attacking would indeed quickly suppress five or six of them, but it would undoubtedly drive the remaining divine weapons away.
To deal with all of them, Lin Yuan deduced the world's situation, secretly guiding the war between the Anti-God Society and the thirty-five nations, and setting the decisive battle location at the Five Mountains Battlefield.
The Five Mountains Battlefield was located at the central position of the thirty-six nations, adjacent to rivers and mountains. Lin Yuan spent eight years walking through every corner of the Five Mountains Battlefield, arranging nodes.
He forcibly condensed the entire Five Mountains Battlefield into a furnace, awaiting the gathering of the thirty-five divine weapons, where both sides would consume living beings, and then, it could trigger the formation of the furnace and subsequently suppress the thirty-five divine weapons.
Rumble.
A terrifying aura spread from all directions. Lin Yuan spent eight years, abandoning cultivation and enlightenment, focusing all his energy on the Five Mountains Furnace.
At this moment, it suddenly erupted, reaching a power close to the late fourth rank. The spiritual fluctuations made the thirty-five divine weapons tremble.
"What is this?"
"No, quickly, run!"
Seeing this scene, the divine weapons' spiritual fluctuations trembled.
For thousands of years, except for the ancient god, they had never been afraid of anything. Even in the divine weapon war eight thousand years ago, they emerged as the final victors.
But now, sensing the vast aura from the entire Five Mountains Battlefield, all the divine weapons were scared.
Hum!
The thirty-five divine weapons, without hesitation, fled in all directions.
On the ground, everyone who witnessed this scene was dumbfounded.
They had not yet reacted to the changes in the aura of the Five Mountains Battlefield.
Then they saw the thirty-five divine weapons high above scattering in all directions.
Everyone widened their eyes, unable to recover for a long time.
As it turned out, in the eyes of sentient beings, even the lofty divine weapons would have a day of escape.
"Impossible."
"The divine weapons are invincible."
"How could they run away?"
In the rear of the thirty-five nations, the emperors of various dynasties were bewildered.
They were waiting to welcome the descent of the divine weapons, but now the divine weapons were fleeing?
If the divine weapons fled, what should they do?
"Now you want to leave?"
"It's too late."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
If it had been just a moment ago when Lin Yuan appeared, the thirty-five divine weapons might have chosen to return to the heavens and the earth, and they might have escaped before the Five Mountains Furnace completely sealed the world.
However, in Lin Yuan's calculations, this possibility was almost zero.
After all, returning to the heavens and the earth for the divine weapons was almost equivalent to being remade.
Consciousness and memories would be completely washed away by the heavens and the earth, which was only a bit better than complete death.
These divine weapons had just taken that crucial step, completed their transformation, and hadn't enjoyed anything yet. How could they choose such an extreme method when faced with someone they couldn't comprehend?
The reality was just as Lin Yuan had expected.
Even though they sensed something was amiss, none of the thirty-five divine weapons chose to return to the heavens and the earth.
"Rise!"
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved again.
The vast Tai Chi domain quickly expanded.
After breaking through to the fourth rank, Lin Yuan's Tai Chi domain had once again undergone a significant improvement.
The Tao of Tai Chi was not just about Yin and Yang; it was centered around Yin and Yang, encompassing the myriad ways of the world.
This was why Lin Yuan could comprehend the essence of other evil weapons and still gain improvements.
"Break!"
Among the thirty-five divine weapons, the tower-shaped divine weapon suddenly halted.
A blaze of red light erupted as if a blazing sun burst out in an instant.
The void boiled, and the hundreds of miles of airspace seemed to boil in an instant, and the misty air swirled around the entire Five Mountains Battlefield like clouds.
The temperature within hundreds of miles soared, even for a Blood Refining Martial Saint, the air they breathed seemed to turn into hot coals, making the scorching heat unbearable!
As the terrifying heat exploded, in an instant, the form of the furnace within several miles of Lin Yuan dispersed.
"Water."
Seeing this, Lin Yuan reached out again, and the water from the rivers outside the Five Mountains Battlefield was immediately drawn.
A large amount of river water evaporated, rapidly blocking the intense heat from the tower-shaped divine weapon.
"Not good."
Seeing this, the tower-shaped divine weapon's thoughts became heavy.
Because at this moment, the aura from countless nodes across the Five Mountains Battlefield had gathered together.
Endless light, energy, and the power of heaven and earth intertwined and outlined a Tai Chi furnace with black and white colors.
It suddenly took shape with a thunderous roar.
Without exception, all thirty-five divine weapons were enveloped inside the Tai Chi furnace.
The Tai Chi furnace hovered under the sky, reaching a height of hundreds of miles, like a colossal object spanning across.
There were continuous rumblings from within the furnace, indicating that the thirty-five divine weapons had not given up; they were still struggling.
However, with the passage of time, this struggle became weaker.
"All thirty-six divine weapons, enter my vessel."
Lin Yuan took a step and sat on the top of the furnace.
Then, a Spear-shaped divine weapon with imprinted sun and moon patterns flew out, actively entering the furnace.
All thirty-six divine weapons emerged from the heavens and the earth. For the sake of easy comprehension, Lin Yuan directly placed the Sun-Moon Spear into the furnace.
"Next is suppression and comprehension."
Lin Yuan crossed his legs and calmly focused.
"The divine weapons have been suppressed?"
On the ground, everyone who saw this scene, whether human or evil weapon consciousness, fell into an indescribable shock.
Thousands of years ago, there were ancient gods walking on the earth, sacrificing mountains and rivers to create a hundred weapons, awe-inspiring for countless years.
Thousands of years later, a young emperor sat high in the sky, cooking rivers and refining the Five Mountains, suppressing thirty-six weapons with a majestic heavenly might, and countless beings bowed down in reverence.
