The ancestral temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty was brightly lit, and the portraits and tablets of the ancestors of the Kong family looked as if they were about to emerge from the paintings under the offerings of incense and good fortune.
If you stand in the center of the Great Zhou ancestral temple and under the altar, you can seem to feel that all the ancestors of the Great Zhou are paying attention to you.
At this time, a phantom twisted up from the earth, and a strange power evaporated, actually isolating the inside and outside of the Great Zhou ancestral temple, as if dividing the entire temple into two worlds.
Many guards guarding outside the Great Zhou Ancestral Temple did not notice the distorted scene behind them. The original Great Zhou Ancestral Temple seemed to become illusory all of a sudden, and no one could tell what was real and what was an illusion.
The entire Great Zhou Ancestral Temple was divided into two worlds. Two figures swaggered into the Great Zhou Ancestral Temple from the main gate, but the guards standing at the gate and several powerful practitioners in the possession realm in the dark did not notice their presence.
In this way, they passed through another boundary and stepped into the ancestral temple of the Great Zhou, while no one was aware of it.
Xinyuehu and Xurishu looked up and saw the Nine Dragon Emperor Seal shrouded in monstrous dragon energy. The power of incense emanating from the Nine Dragon Emperor Seal rolled out like the scorching sun and rolled towards the sky.
"Nine Dragons Imperial Seal!"
“We found it!”
No shadows could be seen in the normal ancestral temple hall. All that could be seen were the moonlight coming in from outside the hall and the candlelight and incense on the altar.
“Hehehehe!”
"Stealing the sky and changing the day!"
At this moment, a sound like the laughter of a mouse suddenly came from the empty hall, and then a hazy shadow flashed by, and the Nine Dragon Emperor Seal placed on the altar disappeared in an instant.
There was no movement, no reaction. Under everyone's protection, the Nine Dragon Emperor Seal was stolen.
At this time, the first thing that reacted was not the national defense formation connected to the Nine Dragon Imperial Seal, nor the Great Zhou Dragon Pillar that was closely related to destiny, nor the external guards and the guards in the dark.
Instead, there were portraits of Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and successive emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty hanging in the Great Zhou ancestral temple. Once the Nine Dragon Imperial Seal was lost, these portraits seemed to come alive, gazing into the empty hall.
Although nothing could be seen, the spirit of the portrait knew where this person was, otherwise how could the Nine Dragon Emperor Seal disappear out of thin air.
"How dare you steal the imperial seal, you thief!"
"You're looking for death! Stay here!"
Led by the Great Zhou Taizu Kong Huai, the statue of Emperor Dongyang was the first to make a move. A sword light flashed out from the portrait, as if tracing back and breaking through the space, heading towards the Xu Ri Rat in another space.
As soon as Xu Ri Rat got the Nine Dragon Emperor Seal, he quickly ran out of the palace with Xin Yue Fox. At this moment, seeing the mighty sword light coming from behind, he twisted his body, and a terrifying Xu Ri Divine Rat swayed out from behind him, biting the sword light into pieces.
After all, it was just a spirit in a portrait. The real Emperor Dongyang was still in the underworld, and his power could not extend to the world of the living. However, this huge movement still alarmed the people outside.
"Hurry up and leave Gaoyang quickly!"
Heart Moon Fox Hu Xiu'er and Virtual Sun Rat Shu Xu jumped into the fire. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared under the jumping shadows of the flames and escaped into the distance.
The Xu Ri Dharma Domain that Xu Ri Rat had originally set up using the power of the Star Destiny Avenue began to slowly collapse and disintegrate the moment Xu Ri Rat left.
"No! Someone has invaded the ancestral temple."
"Nine Dragons Imperial Seal."
"Someone is trying to get the Nine Dragons Imperial Seal."
Hundreds of guards inside and outside the hall and several monks in the possession realm hiding in the dark felt something was wrong the moment a sound was heard from the Great Zhou ancestral temple. Their faces changed drastically and they quickly rushed into the temple, but it was too late.
Several beings, some wearing Taoist robes and some wearing armor, rushed into the Great Zhou ancestral temple and quickly saw the empty altar. The Nine Dragon Emperor Seal on it and the thief who stole it had long disappeared.
Several people looked pale. They were ordered to guard the Nine Dragon Imperial Seal and the Great Zhou Ancestral Temple. Now someone had quietly broken into the temple and stolen the Imperial Seal, but they didn't even see the person's shadow. This was already a capital crime.
"It's over! It's all over!"
"The thieves must still be nearby, we must not let them go.
"We must get the Imperial Seal back! At any cost!"
Before they could move, a sound like thunder was heard outside.
“Boom!”
The great national defense formation connected to the Nine Dragon Emperor's Seal seemed to have suddenly lost its sight and source, and began to collapse from the outside in an instant. Intense light shot out from the center of the imperial city along the sky. The unknown formations and dragon-locking stakes under the new capital of the Great Zhou dimmed one after another, and the entire capital was, in an instant, without any protection.
If someone led a large army to attack the city at this time, Gaoyang would be like being naked and defenseless and allowed to be attacked by others. The thick city walls might be of some use to mortals, but in this era when warriors are armies, assisted by monks and magic weapons, the city walls would be useless even if they were built harder than diamond.
What's even more terrifying is that the dragon energy originally attached to the dragon pillar is constantly melting like ice and snow, and the speed of its collapse is simply unimaginable.
The luck and heritage accumulated by the Great Zhou over nearly a thousand years seemed to dissipate in an instant, and it was as if a large hole had opened up on the Dragon Pillar of Luck, and water continued to pour out, unstoppable.
Finally, with a violent dragon roar that mortals could not hear, the entire dragon pillar of luck exploded and collapsed at once. From a distance, it looked like a mountain collapsed from the sky. The strong golden luck was like a river falling from the sky, collapsing and dissipating continuously, dissipating into the earth and disappearing.
The golden scales on the golden dragon of luck in the dragon pillar disappeared piece by piece, and the golden dragon blood luck continued to overflow. This symbolized the golden dragon's destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it entered a state of final dying struggle.
Finally, with the collapse and destruction of the Dragon Pillar of Fortune, the golden dragon split into nine parts and flew in all directions across the sky, disappearing without a trace.
The horrifying sight alarmed all the civil and military officials in Gaoyang, the new capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. One by one, the civil and military officials got up late at night and looked towards the palace, and they were all stunned by the scene.
The dragon boat and the Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi, who had already arrived at the border of Shaozhou and Yongzhou, were suddenly awakened from their sleep. As soon as they sat up, they spit out a mouthful of blood, and their faces turned as pale as gold paper.
As an emperor connected to the fortune of the Great Zhou, the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou, he has the strongest sense of the rise and fall of the fortune of the Great Zhou, and it even affects his destiny.
He staggered out of the Dragon Boat Palace wearing only his underwear, while the eunuchs were chasing him closely. He looked outside, and his sight seemed to travel thousands of miles to see the scene inside Gaoyang City.
"The Dragon Pillar of Fortune! Collapsed?" Emperor Kong Qi took several steps back, his face still showing disbelief.
At this moment, Emperor Kong Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty had no intention of visiting the Zhenwu Army and Yongzhou anymore. He only wanted to quickly return to the new capital Gaoyang. This time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost cut off at its roots.
The dragon pillar of national destiny collapsed, the golden dragon of fortune disappeared, and the Great Zhou had completely entered the final situation of life and death.
