After the previous battle, aside from the strong individuals from the Ten Thousand Seas Dragon Palace and the Seductive Fox Queen and Azure Phoenix, two Great Demon Kings under the Frog King, nearly all the powerful figures from various factions had suffered losses.
Many who survived were also injured.
The struggle for the Celestial Artifacts was clearly brutal.
In the face of so many Celestial Artifacts, no one would back down.
However, the members of the Supreme Demon Sect surprisingly did not engage in the competition for the Celestial Artifacts; instead, they came directly here.
If it weren't for sensing the intense fluctuations of energy in this area earlier, they wouldn't have come.
It was precisely because of Ye Fan's breakthrough that they were able to sense this place.
After seizing all the Celestial Artifacts from the outer courtyard, people from various factions gathered here.
Their gazes fell upon Wuma Changkong and Ye Fan. Jin Shan suddenly realized something and coldly said, "So you were plotting something when you faked your death, huh?"
"And you, Wuma Changkong, you really are shameless." Jin Shan's eyes burned with anger; two experts from the Suspended King Sword Sect had already died.
Now only he and another Late Stage of God Slaying expert remained.
"Shameless?" Upon hearing this, Wuma Changkong's expression turned icy as he glared fiercely at Jin Shan. "Are you talking about me?"
At that moment, a powerful aura emanated from Wuma Changkong, his eyes shining with sharpness as if celestial light was swirling within them.
In response, Jin Shan felt an inexplicable sense of fear creeping in and could only snort in silence.
Wuma Changkong surveyed the crowd and said, "Everyone, what do you mean by staring at us like that?"
After a significant transformation of Celestial Spirit Power within the Ascension Pool, Wuma Changkong had nearly completed the conversion of his Celestial Energy.
The Celestial Energy had transformed into Celestial Essence, marking a qualitative leap in the power within Wuma Changkong.
He was just a hair's breadth away from reaching a saturated state, and at that point, even if he were to break through to the realm of immortals, it would not come as a surprise to him.
Thus, even while facing powerful opponents from all sides, Wuma Changkong remained exceptionally assertive.
His tone carried an underlying sharpness that was hard to ignore.
Everyone could certainly sense the change in Wuma Changkong at that moment.
Not only Wuma Changkong, but even the others from the Supreme Demon Sect exuded an aura and demeanor that had undergone a significant transformation.
In an instant, the expressions of those present turned somewhat grim.
"This Celestial Pool contains an extremely rich amount of Celestial Essence. Wuma Changkong must be on the verge of converting all his Celestial Energy into Celestial Essence. He is no longer the same; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he is now half an immortal! If we don't join forces, it will be difficult to keep him in check."
Casting a glance at Wuma Changkong and his companions, Frog King maintained a faint smile on his face.
However, his cold voice, laced with a hint of murderous intent, echoed in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing Frog King's words, everyone subtly glanced at him.
Jin Shan then transmitted a message: "Frog King is right. Besides Wuma Changkong, there are five other Late Stage God Slaying experts from the Supreme Demon Sect. Their combat power must also be quite formidable now; they are likely capable of competing with beings like us. If we don't unite to balance them out, all the benefits within this immortal estate will undoubtedly be taken by them first."
Baili Qinghong remained silent, yet understood the gravity of the situation.
Azure Wave Emperor communicated to everyone, "Have you noticed the stone tablet beside the Celestial Pool? This pool is called the Ascension Pool, and the two lines of small text read, 'Decayed Divine Transformation Jade Bone.' Anyone who enters the Celestial Pool will surely ascend to immortality. This Celestial Pool is an unparalleled treasure for our transformation; if we miss this opportunity, it may take us hundreds or even thousands of years to step into the realm of immortals."
"But if we enter the Celestial Pool, as Jin Shan Sect Master mentioned, then during this time, all the treasures within the immortal mansion will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Supreme Demon Sect."
"So..."
The tone of Azure Wave Emperor suddenly turned colder.
"So what?" Four Ancestors sneered.
"As Frog King suggested, we should join forces to take them all down first. Only then can we achieve a balance that favors us," Azure Wave Emperor conveyed directly.
"I have no objections." Dugu Laomo's eyes glinted with ferocity as he made his stance clear.
He also hailed from the Southern Wilderness and was part of the Demoness faction. If he didn't express his position early on, he would likely become a target himself.
Moreover, what Azure Wave Emperor said was indeed true.
Setting aside whether Wuma Changkong would allow them to partake in the Celestial Pool, even if he did permit it, once they entered the Celestial Pool...
Wouldn't Wuma Changkong lead the people of Supreme Demon Sect to sweep away all the treasures within the immortal mansion?
Furthermore, Ye Fan was an exceptionally strange individual. In Dugu Laomo's view, Wuma Changkong's ability to find this place first was likely closely related to Ye Fan.
There was one more thing: they needed to take down Wuma Changkong and the others before forming an alliance.
Now, Wuma Changkong and his companions had all significantly increased their strength. What would happen if they launched a surprise attack on their group?
If they suddenly struck, who could withstand even one of their blows?
As a result, everyone almost unanimously expressed their stance.
Now, only Wan Jinlong remained.
The Emperor had yet to speak.
So, intentionally or not, everyone turned their gaze toward the Wanjin Dragon Emperor.
In the Celestial Pool, Ye Fan noticed the change in the expressions of those around him.
He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
It seemed they were about to be targeted collectively!
"Everyone be careful; they might be planning to attack us," Ye Fan transmitted a warning to the group.
In fact, Wuma Changkong and his companions also sensed the shift in the crowd's demeanor. It was clear that they could feel a wave of killing intent spreading among them.
In an instant, their faces darkened a few shades.
"Attack!"
Suddenly, the Wanjin Dragon Emperor uttered two cold words.
It was not a transmission, but a direct shout.
These two words not only signaled the start of the attack but also represented her stance.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"
As soon as the Wanjin Dragon Emperor's words fell, Jin Shan, Baili Qinghong, Dugu Laomo, Azure Wave Emperor, and the powerful figures behind them surged forward, each selecting their opponent and charging toward the strong members of the Supreme Demon Sect.
"Kill!"
The Frog King shouted coldly and instantly stepped out alongside the Wanjin Dragon Emperor, the Four Ancestors, the Seductive Fox Demon King, the Azure Phoenix Demon King, and Aotian.
Each of them radiated an incredibly terrifying aura.
"Crash—!!"
Without any hesitation, Wuma Changkong was the first to burst forth from the Ascension Pool.
At the same time, an endless Celestial Light surged from Ye Fan as he stepped forward, directly confronting the Wanjin Dragon Emperor and Frog King.
