Hongjun was enraged!

Today, the Three Pure Ones would be utterly annihilated!

"A saint falls today."

Hongjun said calmly.

Receiver and Cundi rejoiced at this—Hongjun must have activated the Saintfall Pill!

The Three Pure Ones were about to perish!

Everyone watched this scene with bated breath!

The Dao Ancestor had personally made his move!

Even saints like Nüwa and Houtu felt their minds tighten.

The moment Hongjun finished speaking, Tongtian immediately sensed a terrifying force within his body, trying to devour his Great Dao.

This was—the Saintfall Pill!

It had been triggered!

In an instant, blood seeped from the corner of Tongtian's mouth.

Yet instead of fear, he burst into loud laughter.

"Hongjun, is this all you've got?"

Receiver and Cundi sneered.

"Tongtian, how dare you still be so arrogant?!"

"You're simply asking for death!"

But at that moment, within Tongtian's Violet Palace, the power of the Creation Source Pill surged forth, instantly devouring the entire Saintfall Pill.

Hongjun's face darkened instantly.

The Saintfall Pill within Grand Pure One Laozi had lost its effect.

How was this possible?

Hongjun quickly turned to Taiqing Yuanshi, only to find both of them completely unharmed.

Grand Pure One Laozi curled his lips slightly and said with a light laugh:

"Is the Dao Ancestor looking for the Saintfall Pill?"

Hongjun's face grew even darker.

On the Primordial Land.

Receiver and Cundi were utterly bewildered.

What was going on here?

The Saintfall Pill, which was supposed to take effect, had no effect on the Three Pure Ones at all?

Nüwa's eyes widened in shock as well.

The Saintfall Pill was one of the Heavenly Dao's three great calamitous treasures!

How had Senior Taiqing neutralized it?

In the Underworld.

Houtu was deeply shaken.

She understood that while this matter seemed earth-shattering, it might be nothing remarkable in the eyes of Grand Pure One Laozi.

After all, he could produce a supreme divine seal—one that didn't even exist within the Heavenly Dao.

That meant not only Hongjun, but even the Heavenly Dao itself might be unable to detect the true trump card of Tai Chizheng.

Grand Pure One Laozi was indeed unfathomably mysterious and immensely powerful.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun was stunned.

He was certain that the Saintfall Pill had just been inside Tongtian's body.

But why had it vanished so suddenly? Could Tongtian have been prepared? That was impossible! Under the watch of the Heavenly Dao, every move Tongtian made was seen through—there was no way he could hide any secret.

Unless someone could deceive the Heavenly Dao!

Hongjun stared coldly at Taiqing. Even with the Heavenly Dao Authority enhanced, Taiqing remained as unfathomable as chaos itself.

But one thing was clear—the Saintfall Pills inside Taiqing and Yuanshi had long been dissolved.

Hongjun's expression darkened further.

Could all of this be Taiqing's scheme? How could he have accomplished this right under the Heavenly Dao's watch?

Hongjun shook his head slightly, dismissing the thought.

As a Heavenly Dao Sage, Taiqing had always been a puppet of the Heavenly Dao. Under its gaze, nothing could be hidden.

Hongjun's demeanor grew heavier.

He had always believed he could control every shift in the Primordial Wilderness. Yet each time the world evolved, it slipped beyond his grasp.

Clearly, the entity driving the world's evolution also possessed a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

The Saintfall Pills in Taiqing and Yuanshi had obviously been dissolved by that entity in secret.

Taiqing's boldness likely stemmed from having some measure of that entity's protection.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun sneered inwardly.

Did having a hidden card mean one could fear nothing?

Just as Tongtian was about to leave the chaos, Hongjun let out a cold snort and waved his sleeve.

Boundless Heavenly Dao Power erupted from the Purple Cloud Palace, surging outward into the chaos.

The next instant, chaos trembled!

Distant anomalies scattered in panic!

Heavenly Dao Pressure crashed toward Tongtian like a tidal wave.

Tongtian's face changed drastically. He hastily summoned the Azure Purity Sword to defend himself.

But in mere moments, the sword lost its spirit and let out a mournful cry.

Tongtian spat out a mouthful of Origin Essence Blood. His cultivation was nearly shattered, and his body withered in weakness.

He knelt midair, with nothing to stop the onslaught.

With a thunderous roar, endless Purple Cloud Divine Thunder condensed into a Heavenly Dao Thunder Cage, trapping Tongtian completely—an overwhelming display of might.

Tongtian's eyes flickered. Gritting through the pain, he tried to stand, but another bolt of divine thunder, thick as a True Dragon, struck him. He vomited blood again, his entire body convulsing violently, as if his Great Dao had been destroyed.

If not for his Primordial Spirit being linked to the Heavenly Dao, he would have perished.

Hongjun's cold voice rang out: "Tongtian has transgressed against the Heavenly Dao. His Great Dao is revoked. He shall suffer divine thunder punishment for a hundred thousand years and never set foot in the Primordial Wilderness again."

This scene shook the entire Primordial Wilderness. All were terrified.

The Dao Ancestor's authority was unstoppable. Even a Sage could not escape this calamity.

Though Sages were immortal through the ages, they were still insignificant before the Heavenly Dao.

The other Sages were deeply shaken. Only by facing it firsthand could one know Hongjun's power was irresistible.

Those beneath the Sages were but dust, and no matter how strong a Sage was, before the Heavenly Dao, they were nothing more than ants.

Above the Heavenly Court, Receiver and Cundi were overjoyed. The Dao Ancestor had finally acted.

With the Great Dao revoked, everything was over.

The Three Pure Ones were doomed. The Primordial Wilderness would become the Buddhist Sect's domain.

Across the Primordial Wilderness, the Jie Sect burned with fury.

"How can the Dao Ancestor be so unjust!"

Hongjun had actually revoked their master's Great Dao. It was utterly shameful.

All Three Teachings were enraged. Yuanshi was especially furious:

"Hongjun, you are so despicable! You are unworthy of being a teacher!"

A Sage's Great Dao was hard-won. Hongjun's action had destroyed Tongtian's future. How could Yuanshi not be enraged?

Above the Nine Heavens, Hongjun's phantom appeared, its heavenly might shaking the Primordial Wilderness.

He coldly regarded Taiqing and Yuanshi: "You have thrown the Primordial Wilderness into chaos. You shall be punished."

In an instant, Heavenly Dao Power surged down, sweeping across heaven and earth.

At that moment, even the Sages were terrified. Were the Three Pure Ones about to fall?

But the next moment, all were stunned—

The Heavenly Dao Power was vast and boundless, inspiring awe.

Yet, in the Primordial Wilderness, something unbelievable happened.

The figures of Taiqing and Yuanshi remained completely unaffected by the Heavenly Dao Power.

The power dissipated silently before it even touched them, leaving no trace.

Even Yuanshi was struck speechless by the shock.

"What's happening? When did I gain such ability?"

But soon, he realized it wasn't his own doing—it was because of Taiqing's presence.

The Primordial Land erupted in discussion, waves of shock spreading.

The Heavenly Dao Power couldn't affect Taiqing at all!

Even mighty beings like Nüwa and Houtu couldn't believe it; no matter how they tried, they refused to accept what they saw.

"The Heavenly Dao Power has no effect on Taiqing?"

Receiver and Cundi were dumbfounded, their understanding completely overturned.

"How is this possible?"

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's face grew heavier.

He knew clearly that it wasn't Taiqing resisting the Heavenly Dao Power—it was the power itself vanishing.

"What exactly did Taiqing do?"

Taiqing calmly gazed at Hongjun's projection, his tone indifferent: "Is this all the Dao Ancestor has to offer?"

Since Taiqing dared to descend upon the Primordial Land, he feared nothing.

He understood that Hongjun thought he could suppress the Three Pure Ones with the Heavenly Dao Authority—a laughable notion.

Taiqing possessed the Intermediate Source Authority; how could ordinary Heavenly Dao Power harm him?

If Hongjun wished to summon the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel, he likely wouldn't succeed.

Taiqing knew this well, aware that Hongjun's current state of merging with the Dao wasn't enough to wield such power.

Hongjun's face darkened further. Taiqing always exceeded his expectations, making him impossible to read.

Witnessing this, Tongtian, though his body was scorched black by the divine thunder, still had a firm and bright gaze.

He felt pride for his elder brother, standing against Hongjun head-on.

Taiqing didn't mock Hongjun. Instead, he turned to Tongtian and asked with a smile, "Tongtian, your Great Dao is broken. Do you feel fear?"

Tongtian laughed uproariously and replied, "Why would you ask that, brother? Even facing eternal annihilation, I have no fear!"

Taiqing nodded with a smile. "Good."

With a casual wave of his hand, a streak of light tore through time and space, plunging straight into Tongtian's brow.

Even the Heavenly Dao Power couldn't stop this force from entering.

This sight baffled the saints. Tongtian's Great Dao was destroyed—what could Taiqing still do?

But within Tongtian, a storm raged. In his Violet Palace, two Dao scriptures appeared:

One was Pangu's inheritance, the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art;

The other was a Heavenly Dao-level technique, the Heaven-Slaying Myriad Swords Art.

Hongjun stared coldly at Taiqing, his voice low: "What have you done?" Unease gnawed at him, sensing deeper meaning in Taiqing's actions.

Taiqing didn't answer Hongjun. Instead, he spoke directly to Tongtian: "Since the Jie Sect seeks to seize a thread of life from heaven and earth, why cling to fate?" At these words, Tongtian's mind cleared, his eyes blazing with insight as if he had grasped the Dao.

Hongjun's face turned even darker, and he roared, "How dare you!"

Hongjun was furious. Even if Taiqing had the backing of that mysterious force, as the Primordial World Heavenly Dao, he still feared nothing.

Just as he prepared to strike like thunder, a dazzling sword light burst from the Chaos. The Heavenly Dao Thunder Cage, formed by Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, shattered instantly.

Master Tongtian stepped out of the Chaos, surrounded by unmatched Sword Qi, like a sword piercing heaven and earth, unleashing terrifying power aimed at the sky. It churned the Chaos World violently, even shaking the Primordial World's heavens, and all living beings felt the sting of sharp sword intent.

Everyone was instantly stunned!

Hadn't Master Tongtian's Great Dao been crippled?

Why was he suddenly displaying such fearsome might!

And he had even broken the Thunder Cage set by the Heavenly Dao!

What was going on?

At this moment!

Tongtian's laughter echoed across the Primordial Land!

"Hongjun, you've made your move!"

"Now it's my turn!"

He had fully grasped the Primal Chaos Nine Revolutions Celestial Art and the Heaven-Slaying Myriad Swords Art!

Both techniques were a perfect fit for him!

His Great Dao being destroyed had instead helped him break through and rebuild!

Master Tongtian laughed proudly and waved his hand!

"Swords, come forth!"

The moment the words fell!

Countless immortal swords across the Primordial World rang out in unison!

As if answering their master's call!

Myriad Swords of the Heavens answered and emerged!

Even the Four Swords of Zhuxian sealed within Kunlun Mountain flew forth!

This sight left all beings dumbstruck!

Unbelievable!

Master Tongtian gazed at Purple Cloud Palace and smiled faintly.

"This Purple Cloud Palace is far too obstructive."

"Let's just destroy it!"

Before the words faded!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword led Myriad Swords of the Heavens, transforming into a Supreme Divine Sword!

It fell into Master Tongtian's hand!

A mighty Sword Dao Pressure enveloped the Primordial World!

Hongjun felt his authority challenged!

His face instantly darkened.

"Tongtian, how dare you act so insolently!"

Master Tongtian swung the divine sword in his hand and laughed uproariously.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Before the words faded, the sword's cry echoed through heaven and earth.

Sword Qi pierced the sky, "Myriad Swords of the Heavens, return to your posts!" "Myriad Swords Break the Heavens!"

Where the blade pointed, none could stand!

A thunderous crash!

The Dao Ancestor's Purple Cloud Palace collapsed utterly under that single sword strike!

Primordial World Beings were shaken!

Master Tongtian had destroyed Purple Cloud Palace with one sword?

Heavens!

That was the Dao Ancestor's dojo, revered as supreme!

And now it was shattered by him.

This event sent a massive shockwave through the Primordial World.

Even the Sages found it hard to believe.

Receiver and Cundi exchanged glances, their hearts full of doubt.

Had these Three Pure Ones gone mad?

Daring to wreck the Dao Ancestor's dojo!

They should know it held the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Its value rivaled a Xiantian Supreme Treasure!

Besides, Master Tongtian had long lost the Power of the Great Dao—how could he still do this?

The Sages were no fools.

Soon, the Two Sages of the West sensed the anomaly.

They recalled the Grand Pure One's earlier actions.

All of this stemmed from the Grand Pure One!

Not only had he restored Master Tongtian's cultivation to its prime, but he had also granted him the power to destroy the Dao Ancestor's dojo.

Receiver and Cundi couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, their gazes fixed on Grand Pure One Laozi.

Just how terrifying was this Grand Pure One?

Nüwa's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the Grand Pure One in shock.

What had the Grand Pure One done?

To give Master Tongtian, whose connection to the Great Dao was severed, the strength to cleave Purple Cloud Palace with a sword.

All beings only knew of Master Tongtian's boundless might, but the Sages understood that the true terror came from the Grand Pure One.

What stunned them even more was that no one could see through the Grand Pure One's depths.
