The Heavenly Dao Saint

The elder attempted to suppress Lin Fan with the righteousness of the Heavenly Dao, forcing him to comply.

"Your Heavenly Dao just watches the Human Race fend for itself?

When the Demon Race wanted to slaughter [REDACTED] to forge weapons, where was your sect?

Now that the Human Race has survived the calamity, you want to reap the benefits. Truly shameless."

Lin Fan spoke coldly.

His words were filled with sarcasm.

The reason the Demon Race wanted to slaughter the entire Human Race back then was instigated by the elder himself.

With the elder's backing, the Demon Race dared to be so arrogant.

The elder colluded with the Demon Race, sparing no effort to use countless human lives to shake the foundation of the Human Way.

This was an utterly malicious plot.

After his scheme failed, he now wanted to steal the Human Race's Destiny by slandering the Human Religion and spreading rumors among the Human Race. How could Lin Fan allow this?

"Sharp-tongued, twisting right and wrong.

For Junior Sister Nuwa's sake, I will spare you for today.

Lin Fan, boy, retreat immediately and do not interfere with the Xun Teaching's propagation of the Way.

Otherwise, do not blame this seat for showing no mercy!"

Laozi shouted coldly.

Although he was furious, he suppressed it forcefully.

It was beneath the dignity of a Saint to personally deal with Lin Fan.

Moreover, Lin Fan was protected by Nuwa, and any rash action would alert her.

At that time, the Xun Teaching's propagation of the Way might encounter complications.

"I said, the Xun Teaching does not protect the Human Race, so it is not qualified to enjoy the Human Race's Destiny,"

Lin Fan's tone was icy.

"This Laozi, a Saint, resorted to a sneak attack.

Now he pretends to be a gentleman. His hypocritical face is revolting."

Laozi's face finally showed anger.

He had already shown sufficient respect, yet this brat was utterly arrogant.

Since that is the case, force is the only way.

"Stubborn and unyielding.

Then let this seat experience your abilities!"

With a furious roar, Laozi suddenly attacked.

A giant palm shot out, shaking heaven and earth.

The power of laws transformed into a sky-covering palm print, pressing down on Lin Fan fiercely.

Lin Fan summoned the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, and five-colored divine light shot up into the sky.

As he leaped, lightning flashed.

A sea of purple-black lightning surged in his palm, carrying the Chaos Annihilation Divine Thunder as it poured down from the heavens.

A thunderous collision! Heaven and earth trembled.

The giant palm of laws was instantly annihilated, and the sea of lightning roared as it counterattacked Laozi.

Laozi retreated several feet, his palms feeling a sharp, numb pain.

He was greatly shocked: "What kind of spiritual power is this? It can even injure a Saint's body!"

Lin Fan's expression was as calm as water.

The fact that a dignified Saint was at a disadvantage against a young man shocked him greatly.

Little did they know, Lin Fan had not only reached the realm of a Twelve-petal Great Luo but had also condensed three thousand Dao Fruits, blooming the flower of Grand Unity.

His body contained vast Merit, forming its own world laws, and his power had reached a world-shattering level.

Furthermore, he was protected by two Innate Supreme Treasures: the Xuan Yuan Water Control Banner and the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.

Even a Saint's palm could hardly injure him.

Laozi's slight disadvantage greatly surprised Xuandu.

He had never imagined that his revered Master would be no match for Lin Fan.

Laozi's gaze was grim as he stared intently at Lin Fan.

If this child is allowed to live, the future troubles will be endless.

"Lin Fan, do you truly intend to make an enemy of the Xun Teaching?"

Laozi's voice was bone-chillingly cold.

Lin Fan smiled calmly:

"If the Xun Teaching genuinely seeks blessings for the Human Race, I will naturally welcome it."

"But if its sole aim is Destiny, disregarding life and death—"

"I regret I cannot comply."

His heart was as clear as a mirror.

What Laozi covets is nothing more than the Human Race's Destiny.

Human lives? Not worth mentioning.

"Once I permit the spread of their teachings, it will be like opening the gate to invite thieves."

"After they succeed, they will not only fail to protect us but will scheme even more ruthlessly."

"Like vampires, they will drain us dry until the last drop of Destiny is gone."

"Therefore, this precedent must absolutely not be set."

"Since that is the case, further words are useless."

"Today, I shall let you witness what the might of a Saint truly is."

Laozi stood in the air, looking down at Lin Fan.

He flicked his horsetail whisk, stirring the Heavenly Dao laws, which transformed into countless divine chains.

Lin Fan's expression grew serious.

Lin Fan has now attained the Dao Fruit of a Heavenly Dao Saint; he cannot be treated lightly.

"Circumference of Stars Derivation Art."

Lin Fan summoned the orbits of the myriad heavens, and thousands of chaotic stars suddenly vibrated.

Vast starlight poured down like a celestial river overturned, its immense power carrying the force of ** world-shattering destruction, all of it entering Lin Fan's body.

The Dao Charm around him surged at a terrifying rate. Above the ninth heaven, a Dao Sword forged from chaotic starlight gradually took shape.

The sword's light was so blinding it was impossible to look directly at, as if it could cleave through the primordial chaos and re-establish the universe. Its sharp sword intent made souls tremble.

As the Dao Sword was unleashed, the myriad chains of law shattered and annihilated like glass.

Laozi's pupils constricted, and his heart was greatly shaken.

The secret art Lin Fan unleashed has actually surpassed the Saint realm and touched upon the Heavenly Dao's profound mysteries, which even I have failed to comprehend!

How can a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal wield such heaven-shattering Spiritual Power?

Daring not to be careless, Laozi immediately summoned the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda to protect himself.

The starlight Dao Sword struck down with a roar, and the treasure pagoda shook violently.

The Xuanhuang energy surged and dissipated, and the pagoda's divine light visibly dimmed by a third.

Laozi's expression was uncertain.

This pagoda is an Innate Supreme Treasure of Merit, arguably the ultimate defense in the Three Realms.

Now, even when empowered by Saintly magic, it is still being shaken.

"If a Saint were to wield this technique, its power would be simply immeasurable."

No longer daring to hold any contempt, Laozi immediately activated the Taiji Diagram.

Instantly, Yin and Yang energies swept across the eight directions, and billions of chaotic divine lights intertwined into a net, enveloping Lin Fan.

Facing the might of an Innate Supreme Treasure, Lin Fan dared not meet it head-on.

He immediately activated the Primordial Pearl, his form turning into nothingness and vanishing into the void—this was the sliver of life that allowed him to escape.

Heavenly secrets vanished, and all things returned to silence.

Lin Fan's figure dissipated like a phantom bubble, not even a Saint's divine sense could capture a trace of him.

The vast world unleashed by the Taiji Diagram pressed down with a roar, but it only crushed a void.

Laozi stood frozen on the spot.

This peculiar method again!

During the Demon Race's Witch-Slaying Sword calamity back then, this young man also escaped into the Primordial Chaos using this very method. To see this move reappear today is truly astonishing.

"Taiqing, you old dog, eat this brick!"

A furious roar exploded through the void. The Kongtong Seal, carrying the might of mountains and rivers, broke through the air. Laozi was caught off guard, sent stumbling backward, his sea of consciousness reeling.

The Saint flew into a rage, his hair and beard bristling: "Presumptuous brat!"

The laws of heaven and earth surged with his rage, the universe inverting. The might of a Saint was fully displayed—words became deeds, thoughts gave birth to existence.

Lin Fan, however, once again vanished into the Primordial chaos, his sky-shattering attacks all missing their mark.

Here's another brick!

The youth's figure flickered, the Kongtong Seal, imbued with immense power, directly smashed Laozi, sending ** splashing. Before he could retaliate, that figure transformed into an elusive one.

Laozi roared in fury, his Saintly demeanor completely lost. Such a hit-and-run tactic was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.

If I capture him today, I will annihilate his body and soul, ensuring he can never rise again.

Lin Fan's strength is terrifying to this extent!

To be able to clash with a Taiqing Saint while only possessing the body of a Grand Unity, such a feat is rarely seen in history.

Many Great Powers of the Great Desolation watched from across the endless void, all of them utterly shocked.

Lin Fan, merely at the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was able to contend with Laozi without defeat.

Such strength is truly astonishing and unprecedented.

All the Great Powers of the Great Desolation felt a sense of awe.

This child's talent defies the heavens; his combat power makes us pale in comparison.

If he can possess such might while still a Grand Unity, wouldn't he transcend all heavens upon achieving Hunyuan?

Though a junior, his brilliance already overshadows the current era.

The veteran powerhouses sighed inwardly.

Compared to Lin Fan, everyone felt a sense of inadequacy.

The one most impacted at this moment was undoubtedly Xuandu.

Ever since he became Laozi's disciple, he had always regarded his master as the supreme existence.

When had he ever seen his Saintly master in such a sorry state?

To be repeatedly ambushed by a mere Lin Fan, losing face so completely.

This was simply mind-boggling!

Laozi naturally sensed the divine senses of the many Great Powers probing him.

The Three Pure Ones, who had always possessed unparalleled majesty, could not tolerate such humiliation!

In his rage, he summoned the vast power of heaven and earth.

The Taiji Diagram evolved into a boundless world, pressing down with a roar.

An indiscriminate attack!

Territory stretching for hundreds of millions of miles was engulfed by terrifying Dao laws.

Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed; he knew Laozi was truly enraged.

Under such a comprehensive assault, it would be difficult to maneuver with the Primordial Pearl.

Just then, a sharp shout erupted from the void.

Laozi, how dare you!

Heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses surged forth, and myriad auspicious phenomena appeared.

A vast Saintly Might descended from the highest heavens.

Immediately, the Saintly silhouette of Nuwa manifested across the universe.

Laozi's gaze deepened; he hadn't expected Nuwa to arrive so swiftly.

Lin Fan had stripped him of his dignity, and this hatred had not yet subsided when Nuwa intervened.

**

Chapter

With Nuwa's appearance, today's events were destined to be difficult to quell.

If the Xun Teaching wished to spread its doctrine, it would likely become even more challenging.

"Laozi, as the head of the Xuanmen and a dignified Saint, to attack a junior is truly preposterous!"

Nuwa glared at Laozi, her words laced with mockery and chilling intent.

"Lin Fan disrespected the Saints and repeatedly defied the heavens."

"I was merely disciplining him on behalf of my Junior Sister."

Laozi's expression was grim as he faced Nuwa, showing no intention of backing down.

"Bold! My brother cannot be disciplined by outsiders!"

Nuwa rebuked him sharply, the River and Mountain Spell Painting suddenly flying out, transforming into a world that pressed down directly.

Nuwa had reached the third realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, her magical power reaching the heavens.

Laozi, knowing her might, dared not be negligent and immediately unleashed the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda to protect himself.

Under the thunderous impact, the River and Mountain Spell Painting was actually repelled by the supreme treasure.

Nuwa's gaze turned cold.

She had recently comprehended the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Power "Great Evolution Star Arts," and was eager to test it on Laozi.

The Venerable Saint's might stirred the stars of the heavens, and endless laws poured down like a galaxy, converging into a thousand-zhang giant star sword that struck directly at Laozi!

This time, the Xuanhuang Pagoda could not withstand it.

The light shield shattered, Laozi's figure flew backward, his saintly blood scattering, leaving him in a sorry state.

A flash of horror crossed his eyes—Nuwa actually knew this technique, and its power far exceeded his imagination!

"Nuwa! I am the head of the Xuanmen, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Laozi roared, his face ashen.

"Disciple of **!"

"This Palace severed ties with you long ago, do not mention fellow disciples!"

Nuwa once again summoned the star laws, and her killing blow arrived!

The Taiji divine diagram appeared in the air. As soon as Laozi's mind moved, immortal radiance poured down like a waterfall, evolving into the Yin Yang universe and striking down.

The void exploded, and rifts appeared.

The magic treasure was rolled back.

Laozi's pupils contracted sharply.

Nuwa, already difficult to contend with in the third realm of Hunyuan, was now even more empowered by the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Power.

The outcome of this battle was already decided.

If he lingered any longer, it would only be to humiliate himself.

The Dao lineage must be passed down, and he would wait for another day.

With this thought, the elder flicked his sleeve, intending to break through the void and escape.

Taiqing! Do you think you can come and go as you please here?

Nuwa's angry roar echoed through the nine heavens.

A giant palm of Qiankun cut off his escape route. The Great Evolution Star Arts were unleashed again, and immeasurable starlight condensed into a blade that severed the Dao, pouring down.

How vexing!

Laozi hastily retreated into the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

The star power of the heavens surged like a tide. The Xuanhuang Pagoda trembled and wailed amidst billions of sword energies. The defensive supreme treasure actually showed signs of collapse.

If he left the pagoda now, he would surely face the wrath of thunder.

As the head of the Three Pure Ones, how could he endure such humiliation?

Lin Fan, watching from afar, smiled deeper.

He had not expected the dignified Taiqing to be capable of such subservience.

Suddenly, his mind raced.

At this moment, Kunlun Dao Void was empty...

A rare opportunity that came once in a thousand years stirred Lin Fan's heart. Without hesitation, he tore open the void and headed straight for the Kunlun Sacred Realm.

Laozi's clone, currently entangled with Nuwa, was unable to divide his attention and did not notice Lin Fan's movements at all.

The majestic Kunlun stood before him.

Lin Fan, arriving in an instant, unleashed a Primordial Supreme Treasure, and the Heavenly Secrets were instantly obscured. Even beings like Venerable Yuanshi and Sect Master Tongtian were unable to sense anything at this moment.

This highest Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land in the Great Desolation had peaks arranged like gods. Three main peaks pierced straight into the heavens, which was the location of the Three Pure Ones' Dao lineage. Lin Fan locked onto Laozi's cultivation dojo without needing to divine.

A Saint's dojo was naturally extraordinary. The Innate Two Forms Great Array on the periphery was profound and unfathomable. Ordinary cultivators who fell into the array would not even realize it, and with the slightest carelessness, they would be eternally lost.

Such an exquisite formation might be obscure and difficult to understand for the Great Powers of the Great Desolation, but for Lin Fan, who had comprehended the Three Thousand Array Dao and possessed the Void-Piercing Divine Eyes, it was like observing patterns on his palm.
