"It was merely an Evil Corpse at the peak of Primordial Chaos. Why be so nervous?"
As soon as he said this, everyone froze!
Even Tongtian and Yuanshi were stunned!
Good heavens!
Merely an Evil Corpse at the peak of Primordial Chaos?
This was the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse!
Big Brother, you were far too formidable!
Receiver and Cundi snorted disdainfully upon hearing this.
"You're still talking tough when death is at your doorstep!"
"Taiqing, you really know how to boast!"
Hongjun's Evil Corpse looked coldly at Taiqing.
Taiqing was truly far too arrogant!
"Incorrigible."
"Die!"
Hongjun's voice was icy!
He casually brought his palm down!
Great Dao Laws erupted, numbering in the hundreds.
The sacred power Hongjun displayed was terrifying beyond measure. The River of Time and Space collapsed in an instant, and the order of countless ages shattered along with it. An incomparably terrifying pressure bore down directly upon the Three Pure Ones.
Tongtian's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he activated the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and set up a sword formation.
Yet in only an instant, that indestructible sword formation was effortlessly shattered by Hongjun.
Tongtian's face turned deathly pale. Seeing this, Yuanshi immediately waved the All-Heaven Auspicious Cloud in his hand, covering the three of them.
This was his innate supreme treasure, condensed from Pangu's righteous qi, unrivaled in defense.
But the next moment, the All-Heaven Auspicious Cloud lost its spirituality and fell into the dust. Yuanshi spat out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen.
At this moment, both of their Dao Hearts had collapsed.
Linglong
This scene made Nüwa grit her silver teeth. She wanted to help, yet could not move, and could only watch helplessly.
Receiver and Cundi, meanwhile, burst into laughter, believing the Three Pure Ones had been far too arrogant.
Haotian, Burning Lamp, Fixed Light Joyful Buddha, and the others were even more ecstatic, believing the Three Pure Ones were about to be destroyed.
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun remained indifferent.
In his eyes, the Three Pure Ones were no more than a matter of raising his hand.
The crucial question was whether that Mysterious Existence would intervene for Taiqing!
At this moment, all beings shook their heads and sighed, while the Three Teachings sank into despair.
Suddenly, endless Xuanhuang light filled the sky. Xuanhuang Mother Qi poured down like a waterfall, completely neutralizing the terrifying attack of Hongjun's Evil Corpse.
Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, undefeated by nature.
This scene shocked everyone.
Taiqing Saint had actually neutralized the attack of the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse?
How was that possible?
One had to know that in the Primordial Wilderness, the gap in Dao Realm between Saints was enough to crush all magical treasures.
One only needed to look at Master Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun. Even with supreme treasures at their side, they could not escape being effortlessly crushed by the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse.
Yet before Xuandu, even the combined might of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda and Cundi's sacred power could not hold out!
Taiqing had actually withstood the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse using the Xuanhuang Pagoda alone.
What did this mean?
It meant that Taiqing Saint's cultivation was nearly equal to that of the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse.
At this thought, all the Saints were horrified.
Could Taiqing also be at the peak of Primordial Chaos?
Tongtian and Yuanshi were overjoyed.
Hongjun's Evil Corpse's gaze darkened slightly, and he silently praised him.
Taiqing's cultivation was indeed unfathomable, far beyond everyone's imagination.
Although he had not reached the peak of Primordial Chaos, his comprehension of the Dao of defense had reached the utmost extreme.
At this moment, Hongjun's Evil Corpse swept his whisk. Heavenly Dao Power surged forth, and the Heavenly Disciples stirred as though on the verge of collapse.
All Primordial World Beings were terrified. When the Dao Ancestor acted, his might was astonishing.
Yet Taiqing remained calm and composed, a faint smile hanging on his lips.
The Dao of nonaction quietly circulated. The Gate of All Wonders opened, yin and yang qi flowed, and the Heavens Taiji revolved.
Two Yin-Yang Fish carrying the true meaning of the Great Dao slowly emerged, steady as mountains.
They formed an unmatched defense!
A Xiantian Supreme Treasure!
The Taiji Diagram!
Boom!
An attack sufficient to destroy heaven and earth!
Vanished in an instant!
Whoosh!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Taiqing Saint's defense!
Was actually this terrifying?
Even the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse could not break through it with a full-force strike!
Wasn't this far too outrageous?!
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Hongjun's expression turned ugly at the sight.
The defensive power Taiqing displayed with the Taiji Diagram!
Had actually surpassed the peak of Primordial Chaos!
It was simply inconceivable!
Hongjun even began to regret it.
He regretted bestowing a Xiantian Supreme Treasure like the Taiji Diagram upon Taiqing back then!
Wasn't this harming himself?
Above the Heavenly Court.
Witnessing Taiqing effortlessly neutralize the full-force strike of Hongjun's Evil Corpse!
Yuanshi and Tongtian were ecstatic!
They exchanged glances, then both burst into hearty laughter!
"Elder Brother is indeed powerful!"
"Only Elder Brother could do this!"
Who in this Primordial Wilderness could withstand the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse head-on?
Other than Taiqing, there was no one else!
Within the Underworld.
Houtu was similarly filled with emotion.
"I truly do not know how much of Taiqing's power remains unrevealed."
"What we have seen now is likely only the tip of the iceberg."
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's expression was quite grim.
The strength Taiqing had displayed far exceeded his expectations.
He had originally thought that the Mysterious Existence would not intervene, and that Taiqing could be dealt with by merely turning his hand.
Unexpectedly, Taiqing had brought the Taiji Diagram to its fullest potential. Even his Evil Corpse—already at the peak of Primordial Chaos—found it difficult to break through the Taiji Diagram's blockade, even at full strength.
The situation fell into a stalemate for a time.
Should he personally bring down 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 completely bewildered.
They had never expected Taiqing's defensive power to be so formidable.
Cundi noticed Hongjun's Evil Corpse's expression and realized that Taiqing's defense was likely impossible to break.
An idea stirred in his heart. He could not allow Taiqing to continue defending like this.
Cundi sneered and spoke, attempting to provoke Taiqing. "Taiqing, if you have the ability, then don't..."
Before he could finish, Taiqing calmly glanced at him.
Cundi's mind shook at once, recalling how Taiqing had effortlessly slaughtered them earlier.
If he truly enraged Taiqing, even the Dao Ancestor's pressure might not be able to protect him.
Cundi immediately put away his arrogant manner and changed his words. "Taiqing, mindlessly defending will only delay things. The Dao Ancestor will surely be able to..."
Receiver also came to his senses and echoed, "That's right, Taiqing. The Dao Ancestor will certainly break your defense!"
"Taiqing, if you do not dare to fight, then surrender early."
"With the Dao Ancestor's majesty above us, you are destined to lose without a doubt."
Tongtian and Yuanshi glared furiously at Receiver and Cundi upon hearing this.
"Are you courting death?"
These two Saints still dared to provoke them?
Frightened, Receiver and Cundi hid behind Hongjun's Evil Corpse and sought protection.
Seeing this, Nüwa was utterly disdainful toward the Two Sages of the West.
These two actually resorted to provocation?
What shameless behavior!
Facing the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse, it was already no easy feat for Taiqing to resist!
Yuanshi sneered. "Elder Brother need not pay attention to these two worthless fools. It is merely a provocation."
Tongtian looked coldly at the members of the Buddhist Sect and said, "Elder Brother need not heed them. If Receiver and Cundi dare speak again, I will kill these people of the Buddhist Sect."
Burning Lamp and the others were shocked and terrified, their faces full of helplessness!
Since when had Master Tongtian become so unreasonable?
A Saint had provoked you. You should go argue with the Saint!
Fixed Light Joyful Buddha simply hid in the crowd, trembling all over!
He was certain that Master Tongtian was not merely making empty threats!
After all, Tongtian was definitely going to kill him!
Receiver and Cundi's expressions changed slightly at this sight!
"Tongtian, you Three Pure Ones should not go too far!"
Receiver feared that Tongtian would truly act!
After all, this was someone who dared destroy the Purple Cloud Palace!
Thus, Receiver hurriedly sought help from Hongjun.
"Dao Ancestor, please act swiftly and purge these traitorous disciples of the Three Pure Ones!"
Hongjun's Evil Corpse frowned slightly, but before he could speak—
Taiqing smiled calmly. "Since the Dao Ancestor has run out of options, it is my turn now."
As soon as he said this, heaven and earth were shocked!
What?!
Could it be that Taiqing Saint intended to attack the Dao Ancestor's Evil Corpse?!
Wasn't this far too insane?!
Even the fearless Witch Race widened their eyes!
They could hardly believe it!
Was this real?!
Taiqing Saint actually wanted to defeat the Dao Ancestor head-on?!
Nüwa looked at Taiqing in confusion!
What exactly does Senior Taiqing intend to do?!
He only needed to block Hongjun's Evil Corpse's attacks!
Hongjun's true body would certainly not personally enter the battle!
As long as they stalled for time!
They would have a chance to escape!
Why was he suddenly being so impulsive?!
Tongtian and Yuanshi grew anxious!
Could Big Brother have fallen for their provocation?!
Within the Underworld, Houtu suddenly felt something strange in her heart.
She recalled the scene when Taiqing had first arrived and shattered Tathagata's Bodhi Tree with a single finger!
That power had been shocking!
Could it be that Taidi Zizheng's true advantage was not defense!
But offense?!
In the Heavenly Court, Receiver, Cundi, Haotian, and the others were visibly delighted!
Taiqing was simply overestimating himself!
Hongjun's Evil Corpse had dared to challenge him—he was simply courting death.
If Taiqing withdrew the Taiji Diagram's protection, he would be destroyed in an instant.
Hongjun's Evil Corpse watched Taiqing coldly, secretly mocking his ignorance and fearlessness.
Yet the more trump cards Taiqing revealed, the more it would help him trace clues about that Mysterious Existence.
Taiqing's strength had soared by leaps and bounds. It could not possibly have been his own doing; some mysterious power must have been aiding him from behind the scenes.
But Taiqing ignored everything around him. With a casual wave of his hand, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly ran wild, the Great Dao Law hummed, and an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Immediately afterward, Taiqing's Saintly Pressure surged violently, instantly crushing the River of Time and Space. The order of all heavens collapsed, and its power even destroyed the stellar cosmos.
Hongjun's Evil Corpse's gaze shifted slightly. He still could not see through Taiqing's true realm, but that terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Primordial Wilderness, even surpassing the moment of his own descent.
Hongjun frowned slightly, his gaze falling upon Taiqing.
This Taiqing...
Could he have already reached the peak of Primordial Chaos?
But Hongjun quickly shook his head in denial.
Impossible. How could the peak of Primordial Chaos be attained so easily? Besides, Taiqing's true strength was still unclear. Perhaps he had not deliberately concealed his cultivation at all, but was merely using some secret technique to erupt with power for a short time!
"Nothing to fear." Hongjun snorted coldly.
Even if this disciple possessed the strength of the peak of Primordial Chaos, Hongjun still did not take him seriously.
After all, the ancestral vein had merged with the Dao between heaven and earth, and its status had long surpassed all Saints.
Hongjun's own Evil Corpse was also far beyond what an ordinary peak Primordial Chaos expert could compare to. Its might permeated all things.
Just as Tongtian had once destroyed the Purple Cloud Palace, yet Hongjun could rebuild it with a casual wave of his hand.
In his eyes, this was nothing out of the ordinary.
But for the other Saints of the Primordial Wilderness, no matter how profound their Dao attainment or how great their power, they could not even repair an Innate Spiritual Treasure, much less recreate a Xiantian Supreme Treasure like the Purple Cloud Palace.
This was the significance of Karmic Position and authority.
Throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness, only the Heavenly Dao stood supreme.
As long as Taiqing had not touched upon Heavenly Dao Authority, he posed no threat whatsoever to Hongjun.
At this very moment!
Hongjun's Evil Corpse suddenly sensed an intense crisis.
Alarm bells rang wildly in his heart!
Within Taiqing's aura,
a destructive Dao resonance suddenly erupted,
instantly sweeping across heaven and earth.
The Primordial Wilderness shook violently,
as though the balance between heaven and earth were about to collapse.
"Such powerful destructive force!"
"How could Taiqing possess such power?"
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace,
Hongjun's true body's pupils contracted sharply,
as he stared at the Primordial Wilderness in disbelief.
At this moment, the Primordial World Beings
all felt terror and the pressure of destruction.
Even ancient great powers felt their Dao Hearts tremble,
powerless to resist.
All living beings between heaven and earth watched Taiqing in shock.
Just what had Taiqing done?
What kind of terrifying divine ability was this?
At this moment, Taiqing was shrouded in destructive mystical radiance,
and no one could see his true condition.
However, Taiqing was not using a divine ability,
but activating the Millstone of World Extinction.
This incomplete Chaos Supreme Treasure
could now exert the power of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
Though it was insufficient to contend against Hongjun's true body,
destroying an Evil Corpse at the peak of Primordial Chaos
would be effortless.
As the Millstone of World Extinction appeared,
even in its incomplete state, that power still deeply stirred the fear buried in the hearts of all things in the Primordial Wilderness.
Even Saints could not help having their minds shaken.
Nüwa's eyes widened as she stared at Taiqing in astonishment.
Who would have thought that Taiqing did not excel in defense?
Yuanshi and Tongtian were equally shocked, staring at Taiqing in disbelief.
What was going on? Elder Brother clearly cultivated the Dao of non-action.
