In Chaos, Yang Mei and Karma rose at the same time. With a single step, they arrived in the Primordial World.
On Penglai Immortal Island, the Yin Yang Demon God headed for the Western World.
Though the Five Elements Demon God had not been invited, he had hidden inside the Qiankun Cauldron in advance.
Their fates were closely intertwined. Only by facing Hongjun head-on could they break free from their deadly tribulation.
Within Pangu Temple, Law Power circulated around Li Xinghe's true body, but there was no movement.
"Peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal. It is time to break through." Li Xinghe became the first person in the Primordial World to reach the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
From then on, he was only one step away from becoming a Great Unity Golden Immortal.
"Shadow Daoist, you can make the move this time." Li Xinghe continued playing the sixth man.
"Understood, true body." As Li Xinghe's strength rose, Shadow Daoist had also improved. He was now a Middle Golden Immortal of the Origin as well.
Although his mana might not match those top-level Demon Gods, at this realm, what mattered more was one's comprehension of Law Power.
Moreover, with the Thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls, his overall strength stood on the same level as the others.
Besides, he was only there to watch the battle and had no intention of intervening directly. If possible, it would be best to pocket a few treasures along the way.
At the foot of Mount Sumeru, Hongjun and several great Demon Gods gathered. Looking at the Zhu Xian Sword Formation before them, its killing aura soaring to the heavens, everyone frowned deeply.
"This sword formation can be called the Primordial First Killing Formation." Yang Mei saw through the essence of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation across layer upon layer of space.
"Luohu proves the Dao through slaughter and fears no karma. My abilities have little effect on him," the Karma Demon God said in a deep voice.
As the fourth-ranked among the three thousand laws of Chaos, the Law of Karma also had its limitations. This left the Karma Demon God somewhat helpless. At a time like this, perhaps only the Law of Destiny could threaten Luohu.
Qian Kun and Yin and Yang remained silent, but both felt an extreme sense of unease rising in their hearts.
Though top-level Demon Gods could not foresee the future, when a great tribulation approached, they could sense something of it.
According to the original trajectory of the Primordial Wilderness, the two Demon Gods would die in this battle.
Qian Kun was better off, as he had long been mentally prepared. While staring at Luohu, he also guarded against Hongjun.
The Yin Yang Demon God's expression, however, was grave. If he had not sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao, he truly would not have wanted to wade into this mess.
But then again, as a top-level Demon God, his cultivation had already reached the Late Golden Immortal of the Origin. He was not weaker than anyone present.
He also possessed the Taiji Diagram, an Innate Supreme Treasure of defense. Who could possibly kill him?
With such overwhelming confidence, the Yin Yang Demon God gradually calmed down. Yet he had forgotten that not long ago, Li Xinghe had broken through his defenses.
At that moment, a cold laugh came from Mount Sumeru. "Hongjun, is this the method you spent so long devising to break the deadlock?"
This battle was fundamentally a confrontation between Dao and demons, yet Hongjun had invited so many helpers. Luohu looked down on him more and more.
A true powerhouse needed no assistance. This Primordial World was destined to belong to him, Luohu.
"Luohu, have you not heard that those who follow the Dao gain support, while those who stray from it stand alone? You prove the Dao through slaughter, going against the Heavenly Dao. Today, I, Hongjun, will enforce Heaven's will." Hongjun spoke with righteous conviction.
"Then let us see what you are capable of." Luohu burst into laughter. The Zhu Xian Sword Formation unfolded, and boundless killing aura erupted once more, more than a hundred times stronger than before.
"Fellow Daoists, enter the formation!" Hongjun was the first to step into the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
At the same time, Yang Mei, Karma, Yin and Yang, and Qian Kun entered it as well.
The five top-level powerhouses entered the Zhu Xian Sword Formation and each brought forth their own treasures.
If there had only been the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, these people would have been more than capable of breaking it with ease.
However, Luohu also possessed the World-Ending Millstone, an unranked magical treasure.
After the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, this treasure had long since become comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure, even surpassing ordinary Innate Supreme Treasures.
"Everyone, go remove the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. Leave the World-Ending Millstone to me." As the protagonist of the Dao-Demon Conflict, Hongjun naturally had to bear the greatest pressure.
The others had no objections. At present, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were merely four Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
If they had to face all four swords at once, none of them would be confident. But if they split them up, the pressure would be far less.
Yang Mei was the first to head toward the Zhu Xian Sword. Karma chose the Lu Xian Sword. Draped in the Taiji Diagram, Yin and Yang charged toward the Xian Xian Sword. Finally, Qian Kun brought forth the Qiankun Cauldron and chose the Jue Xian Sword.
In the sky, the World-Ending Millstone turned, its terrifying pressure enveloping everyone within the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.
Fragments of the Jade Plate of Creation circled Hongjun's body like an absolute barrier, leaving no harm able to threaten him.
The Pangu Banner shot into the heavens, displaying the might of the foremost Innate killing treasure and forcibly holding back the World-Ending Millstone.
"Hongjun, you still dream of attaining the Dao by borrowing the strength of others?" Luohu felt immense pressure.
The Yin Yang Demon God had obtained the Taiji Diagram, while the Qiankun Cauldron of the Qiankun Demon God was unexpectedly an Innate Supreme Treasure as well. This shocked him greatly.
Any supreme treasure possessed the power to alter the trajectory of the Primordial Wilderness. For example, if Tai Yi had not possessed the Chaos Bell, he could never have contended against the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
"Luohu, you are afraid!" Hongjun remained calm and composed. He had not yet gone all out.
"Hongjun, after this battle, only the demonic Dao will remain in the Primordial Wilderness. All of you will become nourishment for my attainment of the Dao." Luohu showed no fear.
The entirety of Mount Sumeru was shrouded in terrifying killing intent.
In the void not far away, Li Xinghe's avatar stared intently at the battlefield.
Though the six great powerhouses had yet to Become Saint, they were all Chaos Demon Gods, born with keen senses for laws. Their combat power had already reached the ceiling beneath Saints.
Thinking of his bargain-bin son, Kong Xuan, who would later be called the number one beneath Saints, Li Xinghe felt that any one of these people could probably crush him with ease.
Top-level Law Demon Gods combined with Innate Supreme Treasures were no trivial matter.
In the Chaos World, there was no concept of Saints, only Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
They might be far inferior to Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but if they encountered the weakest Saints of later generations, the likes of Jieyin and Zhunti, they could probably exchange a few moves.
Something is wrong. Why has the Zhu Xian Sword Formation not been broken yet? Li Xinghe secretly frowned.
In the original work, Luohu's Zhu Xian Sword Formation had been broken by Hongjun, Yang Mei, Yin and Yang, and Qian Kun.
Now there was an additional Karma, whose strength was no weaker than Hongjun's. By all rights, the formation should have been broken long ago.
Could it be that Luohu has broken through to the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal? Li Xinghe's expression changed.
To break the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, four powerhouses at the same level as the formation's creator were required.
The only possibility was that Luohu had already surpassed the Late Golden Immortal of the Origin and reached the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Only then would they be trapped inside for such a short time, unable to remove the four swords.
Hongjun naturally noticed this as well. He had created the method of Slaying Three Corpses and divided himself into two avatars, but Luohu was no less capable and had used the opportunity to break through to the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
"Everyone, the plan has changed. Luohu has already broken through to the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. If we do not risk our lives, we will likely be worn to death by the Zhu Xian Sword Formation!" Hongjun shouted.
The expressions of the other Demon Gods turned extremely ugly as well. Luohu's cultivation speed was actually so fast that he had surpassed them by an entire minor realm.
"Ha ha ha! I, Luohu, prove the Dao through slaughter. Only by killing top-level Demon Gods like you can I attain the Great Unity Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. Accept your fate!" Luohu laughed wildly.
As his peak Hunyuan Golden Immortal cultivation was revealed, the power of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation rose once more.
Even with Innate Supreme Treasures protecting them, Qian Kun and Yin and Yang both felt themselves in grave danger.
Compared to Yang Mei and Karma, they were still slightly inferior. The laws of space and karma ranked only below time and destiny, so they naturally possessed their own unique strengths.
