This is the Meaning of Karmic Position and Authority

"It's merely an evil corpse at the peak of Primordial Chaos—why all this tension?"

At these words, everyone was stunned!

Even Tongtian and Yuanshi were shaken!

Good heavens!

An evil corpse at the peak of Primordial Chaos, and that's all?

This is the Dao Ancestor's evil corpse!

Big Brother, you're too formidable!

Receiver and Cundi sneered upon hearing this.

"Still talking tough at death's door!"

"Taiqing, you sure can boast!"

Hongjun's Evil Corpse stared coldly at Taiqing.

Taiqing was far too arrogant!

"Stubborn and unyielding."

"Die!"

Hongjun's voice was icy!

He casually swung his palm down!

The Great Dao Law roared into motion, hundreds of strands converging.

The saintly power Hongjun displayed was terrifying beyond measure. The River of Time and Space collapsed instantly, the order of eons shattered, and an overwhelming pressure bore down on the Three Pure Ones.

Tongtian's expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and set up a sword formation.

Yet in a single instant, this indestructible formation was effortlessly broken by Hongjun.

Tongtian's face turned deathly pale. Seeing this, Yuanshi immediately activated the All-Heaven Auspicious Cloud, draping it over the three of them.

This was his birth-given treasure, forged from Pangu's righteous qi, unmatched in defense.

But the next moment, the All-Heaven Auspicious Cloud lost its spirit and fell to the dust. Yuanshi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen.

Both of them now had shattered Dao hearts.

Linglong

This scene made Nüwa clench her silver teeth. She wanted to help but couldn't move, forced to watch it all unfold.

Meanwhile, Receiver and Cundi laughed heartily, believing the Three Pure Ones were too arrogant.

Haotian, Burning Lamp, Fixed Light Joyful Buddha, and the others were ecstatic, convinced the Three Pure Ones were about to be destroyed.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's expression was indifferent.

In his eyes, dealing with the Three Pure Ones was as easy as lifting a hand.

The key was whether that Mysterious Existence would act for Taiqing!

At this moment, all beings shook their heads in despair, and the Three Teachings sank into hopelessness.

Suddenly, the sky blazed with endless Xuanhuang radiance. The Xuanhuang Mother Qi cascaded down like a waterfall, completely neutralizing the terrifying assault of Hongjun's Evil Corpse.

Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, invincible from the start.

This scene stunned everyone.

Taiqing Saint had actually deflected the Dao Ancestor's evil corpse's attack?

How was that possible?

In the Primordial Wilderness, the gap in Dao Realm between saints was enough to crush any treasure.

Just look at Master Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun—even with supreme treasures at their side, they couldn't escape being easily destroyed by the Dao Ancestor's evil corpse.

Yet before Xuandu, even the combined saintly power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda and Cundi couldn't hold out!

Taiqing alone, relying on the Xuanhuang Pagoda, had withstood the Dao Ancestor's evil corpse's attack.

What did that mean?

It meant that Taiqing Saint and Hongjun Dao Ancestor's evil corpse were nearly equal in cultivation.

Realizing this, all saints were greatly shaken.

Could Taiqing also be at the peak of Primordial Chaos?

Tongtian and Yuanshi were overjoyed.

Hongjun's Evil Corpse's gaze darkened slightly, a silent admiration in his heart.

Taiqing's Dao conduct was indeed unfathomable, far beyond what anyone imagined.

Though he hadn't reached the peak of Primordial Chaos, his understanding of the Dao of defense was supreme.

At that moment, Hongjun's Evil Corpse waved his whisk, and the Heavenly Dao Power surged forth. The Heavenly Disciples stirred, as if on the verge of collapse.

The beings of the Primordial World were all struck with fear—the Dao Ancestor's strike carried overwhelming might.

Yet Taiqing remained as composed as ever, a faint smile lingering at the corners of his mouth.

The Way of Non-Action quietly activated, the Gate of All Wonders opened, yin and yang energies swirled, and the cosmic Taiji rotated.

Two Yin-Yang Fish bearing the true essence of the Great Dao slowly emerged, steady as a mountain.

They transformed into unmatched defense!

A Xiantian Supreme Treasure!

The Taiji Diagram!

Boom!

An attack capable of destroying the land of disciples!

Instantly dissipated into nothing!

Gasps!

The crowd was stunned!

Taiqing Saint's defense!

Was it truly this terrifying?

Even a full-force strike from the Dao Ancestor's evil corpse couldn't break through!

Wasn't this too absurd!

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun's face darkened at the sight.

The defensive power Taiqing displayed with the Taiji Diagram!

Had surpassed the peak of Primordial Chaos!

It was utterly inconceivable!

Hongjun even began to regret.

Regret ever granting such a Xiantian Supreme Treasure as the Taiji Diagram to Taiqing!

Wasn't he harming himself?

Above the Heavenly Court.

Witnessing Taiqing effortlessly neutralize the full-force strike of Hongjun's evil corpse!

Yuanshi and Tongtian were overjoyed!

They exchanged glances and burst into hearty laughter!

"Big brother is truly formidable!"

"Only big brother could do this!"

Who in the Primordial World could face the Dao Ancestor's evil corpse head-on?

None but Taiqing!

In the Underworld.

Houtu also sighed in admiration.

"Truly, I have no idea how much of Taiqing's strength remains unrevealed."

"What we've seen now is likely just the tip of the iceberg."

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's expression was quite grim.

The strength Taiqing had shown far exceeded his expectations.

He had originally thought that Mysterious Existence would not intervene, and Taiqing could resolve this with a mere flip of his hand.

He never expected Taiqing to wield the Taiji Diagram to its utmost—even his evil corpse, though already at the peak of Primordial Chaos, could barely break through the Taiji Diagram's blockade under full force.

The situation had reached a stalemate.

Would he have to personally descend with Infinite Sacred Power? That would truly damage the dignity of one who had merged with the Dao.

Above the Heavenly Court, Receiver and Cundi were both baffled.

They had never anticipated Taiqing's defense to be this formidable.

Cundi noticed the expression on Hongjun's evil corpse and realized that Taiqing's defense might be unbreakable.

A thought stirred within him—he could not allow Taiqing to continue defending like this.

Cundi sneered and spoke, trying to provoke Taiqing: "Taiqing, if you have the guts, don't..."

Before he could finish, Taiqing cast a calm glance at him.

Cundi's mind trembled instantly, recalling how Taiqing had effortlessly annihilated them earlier.

If he truly angered Taiqing, even the Dao Ancestor's might might not be able to protect him.

Zhunti immediately dropped his arrogant demeanor and changed his tune: "Taiqing, all your defense does is buy time. The Daozu will surely be able to..."

Jieyin also caught on and chimed in: "That's right, Taiqing. The Daozu will definitely break through your defense!"

"Taiqing, if you two don't dare to fight, you might as well surrender early."

"The Daozu's authority stands above. You are doomed to lose."

Tongtian and Yuanshi glared at Jieyin and Zhunti upon hearing this.

"Are you asking for death?"

These two saints still dared to provoke them?

Jieyin and Zhunti, frightened, hid behind Hongjun's Evil Corpse for protection.

Nüwa watched this and felt utter contempt for the two Western saints.

These two were actually using provocation?

What a shameless move!

Facing the Daozu's Evil Corpse, it was already no small feat for Taiqing to hold his ground!

Yuanshi sneered: "Big Brother, no need to mind these two wastes. It's just a trick to provoke us."

Tongtian coldly eyed the Buddhist crowd and said: "Big Brother, no need to bother with them. If Jieyin and Zhunti dare to speak again, I'll kill these Buddhists."

Randeng and the others were both shocked and terrified, their faces full of helplessness!

When had Tongtian Jiaozhu become so unreasonable?

If a saint provokes you, you should take it up with the saint!

Dingguang Xifo simply hid in the crowd, trembling all over!

He was certain Tongtian Jiaozhu wasn't bluffing!

After all, Tongtian was definitely going to kill him!

Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions shifted slightly at this!

"Tongtian, you Three Pure Ones, don't go too far!"

Jieyin feared Tongtian might actually act!

After all, this was the man who had dared to destroy the Zixiao Palace!

So Jieyin quickly appealed to Hongjun for help.

"Daozu, please act swiftly to eliminate these rebellious disciples of the Three Pure Ones!"

Hongjun's Evil Corpse frowned slightly but had yet to speak.

Then Taiqing smiled calmly: "Since the Daozu is out of moves, it's my turn now."

At these words, heaven and earth were shocked!

What?!

Was Taiqing Shengren about to strike at the Daozu's Evil Corpse?!

This was utterly insane!

Even the fearless Wu Clan widened their eyes!

They couldn't believe it!

Was this real?!

Taiqing Shengren actually intended to defeat the Daozu head-on?!

Nüwa looked at Taiqing in confusion!

What exactly was Senior Brother Taiqing trying to do?!

All he needed was to block the Daozu's Evil Corpse's attacks!

Hongjun's true self would never personally join the fight!

Just stall for time!

And there would be a chance to escape!

Why was he suddenly so impulsive?!

Tongtian and Yuanshi grew anxious!

Could Big Brother have fallen for the provocation?!

Inside the Underworld, Houtu suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.

She recalled the scene when Taiqing first arrived and shattered Tathagata's Bodhi tree with a single finger!

That power was staggering!

Could it be that Senior Brother Taiqing's strength wasn't in defense!

But in offense?!

On the Heavenly Court, Receiver, Cundi, and Haotian were all beaming with joy!

This Taiqing was utterly overestimating himself!

Daring to challenge the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse was nothing short of seeking death.

If Taiqing withdrew the protection of the Taiji Diagram, he would be annihilated in an instant.

Hongjun's Evil Corpse watched Taiqing coldly, inwardly mocking his reckless ignorance.

Yet, the more cards Taiqing revealed, the more it helped him uncover clues about that Mysterious Existence.

Taiqing's explosive surge in strength was no doing of his own—there had to be a mysterious force backing him.

But Taiqing paid no heed to his surroundings. With a casual wave of his hand, the world's spiritual energy turned chaotic, the Great Dao Law hummed and roared, and an utterly terrifying aura erupted from his body.

In the next moment, Taiqing's saintly pressure surged violently, instantly crushing the River of Time and Space, collapsing the order of all heavens, and his power shattered the stars and the cosmos.

Hongjun's Evil Corpse's expression shifted slightly. He still couldn't see through Taiqing's true realm, but that terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Primordial World, even surpassing the moment of his own descent.

Hongjun furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze fixed on Taiqing.

This Taiqing...

Could he have already reached the peak of Primordial Chaos?

But soon, Hongjun shook his head in denial.

Impossible. The peak of Primordial Chaos was not so easily attained. Besides, Taiqing's true strength was still unclear—it wasn't necessarily that he was deliberately hiding his cultivation, but rather some secret art allowing him to burst forth temporarily!

"Nothing to fear." Hongjun snorted coldly.

Even if Taiqing had the power of a Primordial Chaos peak, Hongjun wouldn't take it to heart.

After all, the Ancestral Meridian had merged with the Dao between heaven and earth, its status long surpassing all saints.

Hongjun's own Evil Corpse was far beyond what an ordinary Primordial Chaos peak could match, its might penetrating all things.

Just as Tongtian had once destroyed the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun could casually rebuild it.

In his eyes, this was the most ordinary of matters.

But for other Primordial World saints, no matter how deep their Dao or how great their power, they couldn't even repair an Innate Spiritual Treasure, let alone recreate a Xiantian Supreme Treasure like the Purple Cloud Palace.

This was the meaning of Karmic Position and Authority.

In the entire Primordial World, only the Heavenly Dao reigned supreme.

As long as Taiqing hadn't touched the Heavenly Dao Authority, he posed no threat to Hongjun.

And in that very moment!

Hongjun's Evil Corpse suddenly felt an intense crisis.

Alarms blared in his heart!

From Taiqing's aura, a destructive Dao rhythm abruptly erupted, sweeping through heaven and earth in an instant.

The Primordial World shook violently, the balance of all things seeming on the verge of collapse.

"Such overwhelming destructive power!"

"How could Taiqing possess such strength?"

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's Original Body's pupils contracted sharply, staring at the Primordial World in disbelief.

At this moment, all Primordial World Beings

felt nothing but terror and the crushing weight of annihilation.

Even ancient great powers felt their Dao hearts tremble, utterly powerless to resist.

All living beings between heaven and earth watched Taiqing in shock—

What had Taiqing done?

What kind of terrifying divine ability was this?

At this moment, Taiqing was shrouded in a world-destroying dark light, with no one able to see his true state.

Yet, Taiqing wasn't unleashing a divine ability—

he had activated the Millstone of World Extinction.

This incomplete Chaos Supreme Treasure, Now he could unleash the power of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Though still insufficient to contend with Hongjun's Original Body, destroying a Primordial Chaos peak Evil Corpse

was as easy as turning his hand.

With the Millstone of World Extinction manifesting, even in its incomplete state, that power still stirred the deepest fears within all life across the Primordial Wilderness.

Even sages could not help but waver in spirit.

Nüwa's eyes flew wide as she stared at Taiqing in shock.

Who could have imagined that Taiqing, of all people, was not known for defense?

Yuanshi and Tongtian were equally stunned, staring at Taiqing in disbelief.

What was going on? Hadn't their elder brother always cultivated the Way of Non-Action?
