The Cards Are on the Table. No More Pretending-I'm a Quasi-Saint
Within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Hongjun withstood the direct pressure, allowing the three patriarchs to successfully enter the formation gate. Even with Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures protecting them, they found it difficult to quickly remove the three swords.
The overwhelming Devil Qi, the pervasive Sha Qi, and the sharp Sword Qi were constantly eroding the spiritual light of the treasures. Before even seeing the three swords, the spiritual light of the three ancestors' innate treasures had already been significantly diminished. Without rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures and ample time to properly nurture them, these Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures could not be restored to their original state.
This distressed the three patriarchs greatly. Fortunately, victory was just around the corner. All they needed to do was work together to suppress and remove the four swords inside the formation, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation would be broken.
When Luohou realized that the sword was about to be taken away, he immediately drew upon the Sword Qi of the sword formation, concentrating most of the pressure on them.
To be on the safe side, Luohou decided to kill one of them first to relieve the pressure on the sword formation, while Hongjun simply watched Luohou leave without stopping him.
If he were to obstruct them even slightly, buying them just a little time, the three patriarchs could quickly take down the three swords and shatter the Immortal Zhuxian Sword Formation.
But if he did that, Hongjun's plan to kill them would fall through, so naturally he wouldn't do that.
Without any obstruction or reminder, he silently took out the All-Heavens Celebration Cloud, All-Heavens Celebration Cloud hung above his head with five-colored rays of light, blocking all the Sword Qi in the sky.
The All-Heavens Celebration Clouds were formed from Pangu's righteous energy, transcending the distinction between innate and acquired. Both the Celestial Auspicious Clouds and the God-Slaying Spear belong to the category of extraordinary treasures, but one is primarily offensive while the other is primarily defensive.
The defensive power of the All-Heavens Celebration Cloud is even stronger than that of the Twelve-Petaled Lotus Law Technique. It repels all evil, is immune to all Divine Ability, and is invincible from the start.
Protected by the All-Heavens Celebration Cloud, even amidst a killing formation, Hongjun strolled leisurely without the slightest pressure, and arrived before the Zhuxian Sword, calmly reaching out to take it.
He was no longer under pressure, so all the pressure was transferred to the three ancestors, with the Qiankun Ancestor being the first to suffer.
Luohou mobilized most of the sword formation's killing power, specifically targeting the Qiankun Ancestor.
He himself, wielding the God-Slaying Spear and protected by twelve World-Destroying Black Lotus, charged straight at the Yin-Yang Ancestor, wreathed in terrifying demonic flames of destruction.
The Yin-Yang Ancestor is the weakest here because he has relatively few spiritual treasures. The Yin-Yang Two-Form Sword and the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle don't offer much of a defensive boost, and he's already struggling to cope with the Sword Qi within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
At this moment, Luohou attacked, not openly, but by using an array to interfere with the opponent's perception. With a sneak attack, the Yin-Yang Ancestor was in for a terrible ordeal.
The twelve-tiered lotus platform possesses unparalleled defensive capabilities, making it difficult to break through using conventional methods. The God-Slaying Spear is even more domineering; it is not among the Innate Spirit Treasure treasures but rather a special rare treasure. Its destructive power alone can easily suppress ordinary Innate Supreme Treasures, making it comparable to Chaos Spirit Treasure.
Moreover, the God-Slaying Spear's attack directly targets the Primordial Spirit and divine soul; only Sage- level being can withstand it head-on. Although Primordial Unity Golden Immortal is equivalent to Quasi-Saint, he is still not Sage.
Therefore, Luohou's sneak attack severely injured Yin-Yang Ancestor, who coughed up blood and shouted.
"Brother Hongjun, quickly stop the Zhuxian Sword! I can't hold on much longer!"
Hongjun responded immediately, his voice filled with anxiety and tinged with weakness.
"Fellow Daoist, hold on! The main gate of the Immortal Execution Sect is the central hub of the formation. Luohou has laid down the Heavenly Devil Illusory Realm, but I am currently breaking the restrictions. I will be able to draw my sword soon!"
It's unclear how long this "immediately" will take, but under Luohou's relentless attack, Yin-Yang Ancestor was unable to hold on any longer. He had been stabbed three times and his Primordial Spirit was almost destroyed. In this desperate situation, Yin-Yang Ancestor was frantically trying to drag Luohou down with him.
"My life is over, but Luohou, you won't have it easy either."
Boom!
The Yin-Yang Ancestor chose to self-destruct. Although he self-destructed with his own essence, he was still unable to seriously injure Luohou, who possessed the World-Destroying Black Lotus, within the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
This, however, only fueled Hongjun's ambition. The Primordial Unity Golden Immortal used his own essence to explode, thus offsetting the endless Sha Qi accumulated by the sword formation. Although it was only a corner, the power of the entire sword formation was reduced considerably, which made it easier for him to collect and refine it later.
After Yin-Yang and Qiankun Ancestor, who at this point had already realized that something was wrong.
"Hongjun, what are you doing?"
The Qiankun Ancestor roared angrily, but received no response from Hongjun, which made his heart sink.
He was about to burn his own Essence Blood to forcefully break out of the sword formation, but instead he ran headfirst into Luohou.
"Luohou, let me out, and I will no longer be your enemy."
"Heh, too late. Today I will prove my path through slaughter."
You're not just scared, you're going to die.
"Luohou, you forced me to do this."
Boom!
Forced into a corner, the Qiankun Ancestor also chose to self-destruct, thus dissipating half of the Sha Qi of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
However, this did not mean that the Five-Elements Ancestor was in a better position. He soon followed in the footsteps of the other two, or even suffered a worse fate, because he no longer had the strength to self-destruct.
"Hongjun, you've ruined me!"
The Five Elements let out a desperate and furious roar.
If he still couldn't guess Hongjun's plan at this point, then he would be incredibly foolish.
"The grand scheme of things dictates that these three fellow Daoists should undergo this Kalpa."
Hongjun silently recited a phrase in his heart, his expression calm and composed, not moving an inch, but ready to draw his sword at any moment.
However, his Primordial Spirit inexplicably issued a warning, and the originally violent and rampant sword formation abruptly stopped for a moment.
The time was very short, so short that it seemed like an illusion, or that the sword formation had stopped operating because most of the Sha Qi had been eliminated due to the two self-destructions.
If that were the case, then his Primordial Spirit would not have received any warning. Hongjun keenly sensed that something was wrong, and this situation had existed even before the war began.
Having dealt with the three patriarchs, Luohou returned to Hongjun, grinning confidently.
"Hongjun, you're the only one left."
Hongjun temporarily suppressed his concerns and smiled faintly.
"Yes, only you and I remain. Then I shall show the Devil Ancestor the Three Corpses Path to Enlightenment that I have created."
At this point, he could finally lay his cards on the table and stop pretending. He, Hongjun, was not some Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, but Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection who had severed his Three Corpses.
Three Daos emerged from the auspicious clouds above Hongjun's head.
Those were the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse that Hongjun created using Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure. Their appearances were seven or eight parts similar to Hongjun's, and their auras were not much weaker than Hongjun's original self.
Besides his clones, he also possesses a substantial family fortune.
The Purple Thunder Hammer, the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whisk, the Twelfth-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, and the Acquired Merit Treasure, the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda —originally, it was number one, but now that Xiang Dong has his phone, it's hard to say who is number one.
