Why Are You Risking Your Lives?
In the West, where Devil Qi reigns supreme, only the faint glimmer of spiritual light from Law Treasure serves as a beacon of light in the darkness.
The Devil Race, including Jidu, Moluó, and Heavenly Demon, controlled the Ten Thousand Demons Great Formation. Although the Ten Thousand Demons Great Formation was exquisite and powerful, it was not as formidable as the Zhuxian Sword Formation, which even made Hongjun feel threatened.
The Zhuxian Sword Formation was renowned, but that came after that battle, when it gained fame in a single fight.
The stepping stones to fame were Yin-Yang, Heaven and Earth, and Five Elements Xing, who were tricked by Hongjun into serving as cannon fodder. It was the first time they had seen this sword formation. Although they felt it was troublesome, they still underestimated the Zhuxian Sword Formation before they were trapped in it and experienced its power firsthand.
Who would have thought that Luohou, who created the Demon Dao, would not only possess the God-Slaying Spear, a powerful weapon, but also delve into the arts of swordsmanship and formations, creating the Zhuxian Sword Formation, another formidable weapon?
With a flick of his sleeve, Luohou threw out the Zhuxian Formation Diagram and the Four Swords of Immortal-Slaying.
"Charge!"
Four sword Sword Qi soared into the sky, tearing through the heavens.
The Immortal-Slaying Gate to the east exudes a fierce aura that soars to the heavens; the Immortal-Killing Gate to the south echoes with the wails of the dead; the Immortal-Trapping Gate to the west radiates a crimson light that is ever-changing; Immortal-Extinguishing Gate to the north extinguishes all life.
Meanwhile, Devil Ancestor Luohou sat at the center of the formation, pouring the power of the Demon Dao Power of Principle he created into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, thus raising the killing power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation to a new level.
The Sword Qi emanating from the Zhuxian Sword Formation alone could easily annihilate a Great Unity Golden Immortal, and even Primordial Unity Golden Immortal felt a trace of pressure.
Qiankun Ancestor sensed a dangerous aura. "What kind of formation is this? It's incredibly powerful!"
The Five-Elements Ancestor's expression was solemn. "This formation is probably Luohou's trump card. We've never seen it before. Breaking it won't be easy."
"Could it be that we're going to have to deduce how to break the formation here?"
The Yin-Yang Ancestor was having second thoughts. This formation was difficult to deal with; going in without knowing anything about its intricacies was tantamount to suicide.
At this moment, Hongjun spoke up, saying, "Fellow Daoists, this formation is no ordinary one. Only when four powerful beings of equal cultivation simultaneously attack the four gates and immobilize the four divine swords can this formation be broken."
"For the sake of all living beings in the Primordial World, I trouble you three fellow Daoists to accompany me into the formation today. After breaking the formation, you may take Luohou's spiritual treasures as you see fit. When I succeed, whether you choose to become a saint or Chaos Proving the Dao, I will make things easy for you all."
As for the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods, what do the lives of the Primordial World beings matter to them? They don't want to become Heavenly Dao Sage; what they need are tangible benefits.
Lingbao, and the convenient gate that Hongjun mentioned, are what they need and what excite them.
However, it's fine to say some polite words; everyone should help out, so let's give Hongjun, a Daoist who has achieved enlightenment, some face.
The Yin-Yang Ancestor nodded and said, "Brother Dao, you are very understanding. It is our duty to go and meet with the Immortal-Trapping Gate."
Qiankun Ancestor took out the Heaven and Earth Cauldron. With Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure protecting him, he spoke with great confidence.
"The Zhuxian Sword Formation is powerful, but how could we fear this killing formation? I will go and utterly destroy the Immortal-Extinguishing Gate."
The Five-Elements Ancestor nodded. "I will take the Immortal-Killing Gate."
In the end, all that was left for Hongjun was the main gate of the Immortal Execution Sect. The ancestor of the Immortal Dao stormed into the main gate of the Immortal Execution Sect, and Hongjun even suspected that these three guys did it on purpose.
Of course it was intentional! The pressure on the main gate of Jade Dynasty is the greatest; if not you, who else would they leave it for?
Now is not the time to concern ourselves with such things; breaking the formation is the most urgent task. Hongjun gave his final instructions. "Remember, everyone, once you enter the formation, you must simultaneously stabilize your swords and remove the formation flags. If there is any danger, I will do my utmost to help you."
The three patriarchs clasped their fists in greeting and then joined Hongjun in venturing into the formation.
Yangmei, hidden in the folds of the void, frowned slightly upon hearing Hongjun's explanation.
Those three patriarchs were blinded by their own involvement, but he, as an outsider, saw things clearly. Why did Hongjun know so much about the Zhuxian Sword Formation?
Was it planned in advance?
But Luohou is only being brought out now, making its first appearance in the Primordial World. How could Hongjun possibly have known about it beforehand, let alone understood it so thoroughly?
To put it bluntly, Hongjun has stripped Luohou of his underwear. To be able to do this, it's probably because the Heavenly Dao gave Hongjun special treatment.
Heavenly Dao is unjust!!
It had already chosen its own spokesperson, and Luohou was merely a runner-up; perhaps the outcome of this struggle was predetermined from the very beginning.
Thinking of this, Yangmei couldn't help but shake his head. These Chaos Demon Gods were indeed all under the calculations of the Heavenly Dao.
Xiang Dong is right. We can't let them all die in this Kalpa. Otherwise, if he's the only one left, and Heavenly Dao and Hongjun want to deal with him in the future, he'll be all alone and won't have any help.
At first, he only wanted to save a few sensible and obedient ones, but now it seems that the more the better. Regardless of whether they are obedient or not, as long as they are alive, it is beneficial to him.
So when Yangmei saw Samsara, Yellow Springs, and Piaomiao Struggle against the Ten Thousand Demons Great Formation and the Chaotic Demon God, he quietly created a chat group and communicated with them using divine sense.
"Why are you all fighting so desperately? Luohou and Hongjun are in the formation. No matter how hard you fight, they can't see you."
Yangmei, you...
Upon hearing Yangmei's voice, these Chaos Demon Gods were all startled. Before Yangmei spoke, they had not noticed Yangmei presence at all; he had appeared suddenly like a ghost.
The fact that Yang Mei could achieve this level proves one thing: Yangmei is stronger than them all and has already surpassed the level of the Great Perfection of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Perfection.
But the Primordial World was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, so how did Yangmei break through? There's only one possibility.
"Yangmei, you Chaos Proving the Dao, didn't the Heavenly Dao stop you from leaving the Primordial World?"
"They've stopped you, but I have a way to get in, and you can stay in the Primordial World for the time limit."
"What methods did you use, and what price did you pay?"
The elders pressed on, asking if the price was right, then they wouldn't have to work for Hongjun or Luohou anymore.
"We'll discuss the methods and costs later. Before that, focus on surviving. Don't risk your lives for others. Are your lives only worth a few magical treasures?"
The group of Chaos Demon Gods: "..."
Whether it's Hongjun's side or Luohou's side helping out, their main purpose is the spoils of war and other promised conditions.
Only the victor has the right to negotiate terms regarding spoils; before that, it's all just talk.
The appearance fee is just a few magical treasures; a little fighting is fine, there's really no need to risk one's life.
Thus, Hongjun, with three cannon fodder, fought desperately against Luohou within the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Meanwhile, outside the battleground, under Yangmei's intervention, a group of Chaos Demon Gods elders began to accuse the match of being a rigged contest.
They fought fiercely and with great intensity, producing plenty of visual spectacle. It was clear they were willing to spend a lot of money on special effects, but the fight lacked real power, and all the casualties were members of the Devil Race.
