Yang Mei and the others wore grave expressions as well. No matter how they calculated, they had never expected Luohu to be hiding such a trump card, one with such terrifying power.
The Slaughter Law had forcibly torn apart their Law blockade, separating the four of them into the four corners of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and making it difficult for them to support one another.
The Dao Patterns on Hongjun's Jade Disk of Creation had dimmed, and even tiny cracks had appeared upon it.
A breach appeared in Yang Mei's spatial barrier, and black Slaughter Dao Patterns surged through the opening, scorching his primordial spirit.
Old Ancestor Qiankun and Old Ancestor Yin Yang's Law Power was suppressed by the Slaughter Dao Patterns, forcing them back step by step. Several holes had even been burned into Old Ancestor Yin Yang's black-and-white Dao robe by demonic flames.
This sight drastically changed the expressions of Laozi, Venerable Yuanshi, Sect Master Tongtian, Nuwa, and the others deep within the Chaos space.
Although Laozi had already reached Late Grand Unity, with Purple Qi coiling around him, he could only barely resist the Slaughter Law leaking from outside the formation with hand seals. Even so, black traces appeared within the Purple Qi.
Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa, whose cultivation remained at Mid Grand Unity, were driven back again and again by the pressure.
Even the Innate Spiritual Sword in Tongtian's hand trembled faintly, not daring to approach at all.
Only Haotian remained calm. Relying on the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag, he blocked the surging Demonic Qi rushing toward him, though his fingers secretly clenched tight.
As a transmigrator, he had long known the outcome of the War of Dao and Demons.
Hongjun would ultimately defeat Luohu, but as he watched his master and the other three trapped within the formation, while the aftershocks of colliding Laws continuously tore through the starry sky, he could not help but worry.
There were too many variables in the Primordial Wilderness. What if something went wrong... Taking a deep breath, he quietly gripped the Eastern Green Lotus Treasure-Colored Flag in his hand.
A faint cyan glow spread across the surface of the treasure flag, ready to deal with any sudden development.
At the same time, he pressed the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation at his brow even more tightly, attempting to peer into the formation through the fragment.
He vaguely saw his master adjusting his Dao Patterns, attempting to reconnect the Laws of all four men, and the anxiety in his heart eased slightly.
Within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the Slaughter Law grew increasingly dense, and black mist nearly swallowed the figures of Hongjun and the other three completely.
Luohu stood with his hands behind his back within the formation. Looking at Hongjun, who was attempting to reconnect their Laws, a cold smile curled across his lips.
The demonic patterns at his fingertips flickered, and the Slaughter Qi and Demonic Qi within the great formation instantly surged.
The already dense black Sword Light suddenly became even sharper, crashing down upon Hongjun and the others like a torrential rain.
Every streak of Sword Light contained killing intent capable of tearing apart the physical body of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. As the sword wind swept through the void, even time showed faint distortions.
"Everyone, give it everything you have!" Hongjun shouted in a low voice. The light cyan Western Cloud Realm Banner automatically shielded him.
Immediately afterward, he rose slowly while standing upon a Golden Lotus.
It was the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus of Merit. Golden light of Heavenly Dao Merit wreathed its petals, and every petal that unfolded could ward off the erosion of Slaughter Qi.
With a sweep of his right hand, a banner covered in Chaos patterns appeared in his grasp. It was the Pangu Banner, one of the Three Great World-Opening Supreme Treasures!
As the banner waved, streak after streak of Chaos Sword Qi tore through the air and collided with the black Sword Light.
Explosions rang out continuously within the formation. Though the Chaos Sword Qi could not completely shatter the Slaughter Sword Light, it still blocked the assault.
Seeing this, Yang Mei summoned an emerald-green Hollow Willow Wood into his hand.
He tossed the willow wood into the air, where it instantly transformed into countless willow branches, each containing Space Law.
Some branches passed directly through the void, circling behind the Sword Light to shred it apart, while others wove spatial barriers around them, sealing out the Sword Light that slipped through.
"Space Fold!" Yang Mei shouted. The void before him abruptly twisted, and a streak of Slaughter Sword Light that had been slashing toward him was instantly swallowed by folded space, vanishing without a trace.
Old Ancestor Yin Yang did not hold back either. Forming hand seals, he sent a black-and-white formation diagram flying from his primordial spirit. It was the World-Opening Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram!
The diagram unfolded and transformed into a golden bridge stretching across the void. Yin Yang Two Qi flowed over its surface, and wherever it passed, the black Slaughter Qi melted away like ice and snow beneath the sun.
In his left hand, he held a black-and-white sword: the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Sword.
Yin Yang Two Qi intertwined around its blade. Whenever its Sword Light collided with the Slaughter Law, it could actually break it down into its most fundamental energy.
"Yin and Yang complement each other, shatter slaughter and end conflict!" Old Ancestor Yin Yang's voice was deep and weighty as Sword Light surged forward in waves, temporarily forcing back the Slaughter Sword Qi before him.
Old Ancestor Qiankun, meanwhile, held an enormous Mysterious Yellow treasure cauldron above his head. Dao Patterns of heaven as qian and earth as kun were inscribed upon it. It was the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron!
Mysterious Yellow Qi Flow poured from the cauldron's mouth, forming an impregnable Defensive Barrier that blocked all Sword Light aimed at him.
He held the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Ruler in one hand and the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Qiankun Diagram in the other.
As the Qiankun Ruler swung, Mysterious Yellow Ruler Light stabbed at the weak points of the Slaughter Law. When the Qiankun Diagram unfolded, it absorbed part of the Slaughter Qi into itself and refined it with Qiankun Power.
The four each displayed their divine abilities, and for a time, they actually withstood the first ferocious assault of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Luohu, who had witnessed everything, darkened slightly and gave a cold snort.
"Don't think you can hold on like this! This ancestor has plenty of time to wear you down!"
He suddenly formed a complicated demonic seal with both hands, and the four pitch-black swords within the formation began to tremble violently.
The Immortal Slaying Sword was the first to erupt with dazzling black light. The character "Slay" engraved upon its blade lit up, and a sharp gleam capable of severing primordial spirits stabbed straight toward Hongjun.
The Slaughtering Immortal Sword followed close behind. As the character "Slaughter" flickered, the Law of Death spread outward, causing even Yang Mei's Space Law to become slightly sluggish.
The character "Trap" upon the Trapping Immortal Sword lit up, and the void suddenly began to collapse. Countless black tentacles extended from the collapsed space, attempting to drag Old Ancestor Yin Yang into a Space Rift.
The character "Absolute" upon the Absolute Immortal Sword shifted endlessly. Its Sword Light sometimes transformed into demonic serpents and sometimes into sharp blades, launching all-round attacks at Old Ancestor Qiankun.
"The Immortal Slaying Sword is sharp, the Slaughtering Immortal Sword brings death; the Trapping Immortal Sword raises red light in every direction, and the Absolute Immortal Sword holds endless transformations. Great Luo immortals shall stain their robes with blood!"
The ancient prophecy echoed through the formation. The four swords unleashed their full power, and the pressure upon Hongjun and the other three instantly multiplied.
The Pangu Banner slowed by several degrees, and tiny cracks appeared on the petals of the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus of Merit.
Yang Mei's Hollow Willow Wood was corroded by the Law of Death from the Slaughtering Immortal Sword, and its branches began to wither.
The golden bridge of Old Ancestor Yin Yang's Taiji Diagram shook, while a notch appeared upon the Yin Yang Sword.
The Mysterious Yellow Qi Flow of Old Ancestor Qiankun's Qiankun Cauldron thinned, and the Qiankun Ruler was struck by Sword Light from the Absolute Immortal Sword, leaving a deep mark on its body.
This sudden change caused them to fall into a disadvantage once again.
The defensive circles around them were relentlessly compressed by the power of the four swords, and strained expressions appeared on every face.
Yet even so, none of the four showed the slightest intention of retreating.
As they drove the Dao Power within their bodies and the Spiritual Treasure Origin without regard for the cost, Hongjun drew upon thirty percent of his Dao Foundation, further increasing the power of the Pangu Banner's Chaos Sword Qi.
Yang Mei burned a strand of Primordial Spirit Power, forcibly stabilizing the Space Law.
Old Ancestor Yin Yang activated the World-Opening Origin of the Taiji Diagram, and the golden bridge once again emitted faint Yin Yang Two Qi.
Old Ancestor Qiankun poured all of his Law Power into the Qiankun Cauldron, allowing the Mysterious Yellow Qi Flow to temporarily fill the gaps in its defenses.
As the four exerted their strength simultaneously, they still managed to withstand this fiercer wave of attacks.
They then began using the gaps in their defenses to search for a way to break the formation. For a time, both sides fell into a deadlocked stalemate.
