CHAPTER 636: CHAPTER 400: STRUGGLE FOR AUTHORITY (PART 2)

The Four Symbols Sacred Beasts aren’t merely four isolated Holy Beasts. Beyond their races, they stand with the immensely powerful Heavenly Court.

Back when the Four Symbols Pillars descended, they were already a part of the Heavenly Court.

Even the birth of the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations was Emperor Jun’s adjustment to the Celestial Heaven Star Formation for these Four Symbols Pillars.

Furthermore, at this moment, the starlight on Buzhou Mountain became increasingly vibrant, continually pushing back against the rules, causality, and fate that covered it.

Hao Tian naturally felt the shrinkage of his own authority, yet he still didn’t dare to make the slightest move.

At this moment, the endless starlight fell into the Four Symbols Pillars, rich in energy, used by the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts to counter Hao Tian’s Immortal Emperor Authority.

Simultaneously, changes began to occur around the Four Symbols Pillars.

In the east, the Jia and Yi Wood Pillars, trees rose from the ground, lush and green, spreading all around.

In the west, the Geng and Xin Metal Pillars, a killing aura permeated, with chilling winds swirling around the pillars.

In the south, the Bing and Ding Fire Pillars, flames spread across the ground, burning incessantly, expanding outward.

In the north, the Ren and Gui Water Pillars, cold streams flowed, constantly gathering around the pillars.

Around these Four Symbols Pillars, various anomalies constantly changed, sometimes contracting, sometimes expanding, in a struggle with the Immortal Emperor Authority, also vying for the ownership of the Four Symbols Pillars’ authority.

Whether it was the Four Symbols Pillars or Buzhou Mountain, both connected Heaven and Earth, supporting the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

The Four Symbols Pillars also suppressed the Primordial Four Extremes Border, aiding the expansion of the Primordial World.

For the heaven and earth of the Primordial, there is reasonable authority control over the Four Symbols Pillars.

This battle for the authority of the Four Symbols Pillars is a battle for authority between heaven and earth, between the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court.

Neither side would easily give up.

The authority of the Primordial Continent continues to erode the Four Symbols Pillars instinctively, and Hao Tian dared not make any moves.

Perhaps due to psychological reasons, he always felt the gaze of Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan on him, questioning his soul.

It was Emperor Jun who pushed him to the position of the Immortal Emperor, and it was Emperor Jun who had warned him.

Yet now he was fighting for the authority of the Four Symbols Pillars with Emperor Jun’s Heavenly Court.

Moreover, these Four Symbols Pillars were established by Emperor Jun and Nuwa Saint.

Facing such a spiritual interrogation, Hao Tian persisted in neither obstructing nor fueling the situation.

And the Heavenly Court, already occupying the authority of the Four Symbols Pillars, had the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts suppressing it, supported by the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations within the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, the Three Pure Ones, and the Western Two Saints, seeing Hao Tian’s timid appearance, felt deeply disappointed.

The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou wanted to see an intense struggle for authority, and Hao Tian’s complacent state was utterly unacceptable to him.

Suddenly, a thought surged in his mind: Since Hao Tian wanted to seize the authority but dared not participate, why not lend him a helping hand?

A wisp of demonic thought slipped from his body, quietly approaching Hao Tian, wanting to stir his emotions.

This was his old skill, something he was very good at.

However, in just a moment, Luo Hou sensed that his wisp of demonic thought had disappeared.

Sensing something, he couldn’t help but glance in the direction where Emperor Jun was located.

He saw Emperor Jun watching him with a smile and nodding slightly, giving up on his idea.

Emperor Jun’s gaze left Luo Hou’s direction, focusing on Hao Tian in the center of the hall.

He didn’t want to interfere in this struggle for authority but neither did he want other Saints to involve themselves.

If Demon Ancestor Luo Hou’s demonic thought were concealed enough, it might have fooled the other Saints.

But to deceive him, a being at the Saint level achieved through the path of the mind, was still lacking.

The Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints were disappointed in Hao Tian as he failed to cause more trouble for Emperor Jun.

Even to the point of forcing Emperor Jun to act personally, even if it resulted in failure, it would be worthwhile.

Unfortunately, Hao Tian had never intended to take action from the beginning.

Around the Four Symbols Pillars, the anomalies continued to expand and contract, contending with the authority of the Primordial Continent.

Overall, the range of the anomalies expanded each time, while the range of contraction was significantly smaller.

Thus the range of the anomalies was becoming broader.

This indicated that the Primordial Continent was at a disadvantage in this struggle for authority.

When the anomalies around the Four Symbols Pillars expanded to a certain range, they stopped expanding but also did not contract.

On the eastern azure-green pillar, lush trees surrounded it, denser at the boundary, with the aura of Jia and Yi Wood flowing through the forest, blocking the advance of the Primordial Continent’s authority.

On the western golden-white pillar, a cold wind of killing aura formed a series of barriers at the farthest edge, containing the aura of Geng and Xin Metal within, blocking the Primordial Continent’s authority.

On the southern vermilion-red pillar, flames encircled it, with the most intense at the border forming a wall of fire, with the aura of Bing and Ding Fire flowing within the wall of fire, blocking the Primordial Continent’s authority.

On the northern mysterious black pillar, cold water flowed, forming a water screen at the farthest boundary, with the aura of Ren and Gui Water flowing within, blocking the Primordial Continent’s authority.

Simultaneously, the starry brightness contained within the Twenty-Eight Star Constellations increased, and beams of starlight continued to fall.

Not only did it fall on the pillars but also on the already formed four barriers, constantly consolidating the barriers, preventing the Primordial Continent’s authority from advancing further.

In the Primordial, except for the Saints who could understand the complex power struggle, other beings could not grasp the full picture.

Even beings at the Quasi-Saint level of cultivation could only see a bit, knowing it involved a struggle for authority.

But whether it was Hao Tian’s Immortal Emperor Authority over the Primordial Authority or the authority contained within the Four Symbols Pillars, they couldn’t comprehend the full picture.

As for beings below the Quasi-Saint level, they only knew that the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts seemed to be vying with Hao Tian for something.

However, they couldn’t see any authority; their cultivation realm was insufficient, and their eyes saw no authority of Heaven and Earth.

They only saw the endless starlight enveloping the Four Symbols Pillars, the anomalies around the Four Symbols Pillars expanding and contracting relentlessly.

Eventually, they expanded to a certain range, forming a series of barriers, even blocking their probing.

From the situation, Hao Tian seems to be attacking, while the Four Symbols Pillars are defending.

From the results, it appears that the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts won.

This is what most of the beings observing the battle in the Primordial saw.

In fact, they don’t even know why Hao Tian and the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts are fighting.

In such a situation, although Hao Tian and the Four Symbols Divine Beasts are at the Quasi-Saint cultivation level, as adversaries, they clearly understand the whole picture.

At this moment, the figures of Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, White Tiger Jian Bing, Vermilion Bird Ling Guang, and Xuanwu Zhi Ming reappeared around the Four Symbols Pillars, once again looking towards Penglai Immortal Island, towards Hao Tian.

Hao Tian, feeling the gaze of the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Ultimately, it was a failure.

To say Hao Tian wasn’t disappointed would be a lie.

This contest between Heaven and Earth, the struggle between the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court, ultimately ended with the Heavenly Court’s victory.

Moreover, this struggle was not without cost.

The fact that the Primordial Continent did not include the Four Symbols Pillars in the first propagation of authority means there won’t be an opportunity again in the future.

Suddenly, a feeling of bitterness surged in Hao Tian’s heart once more.

Because he just realized that his own authority had shrunk even further, and Buzhou Mountain no longer was included in it.
