At this moment, that incomparable, majestic aura seemed to envelop the entire Primordial Land.
That terrifying pressure filled countless people with panic.
Billions upon billions of living beings across the Primordial Land felt an inexplicable palpitation at that very moment.
Countless weaker beings were even forced to prostrate themselves beneath that pressure.
Everyone wondered where this threatening intent had come from.
That astonishing power, along with the terrifying energy capable of distorting space and time, was absolutely the aura only a Sage could possess.
"Could it be... Goddess Nuwa is about to make her move?"
Many Primordial Great Beings wore increasingly grim expressions.
The Treasure Ranking had also come to an end.
Was Goddess Nuwa finally going to make a move against Sage Zhunti of The West?
After all, the world-destroying aura in the air truly belonged to Goddess Nuwa.
At that moment, the utterly terrifying pressure instantly swept across the Four Poles and Eight Desolations.
Many weaker people even secretly cursed under their breaths.
The Primordial Land had already been far from peaceful, and now mysterious great beings such as Rahu, Sanqi, Yao Yao, and Chang Kong had emerged.
Why was Goddess Nuwa going mad at a time like this?
Just then, a faint red light suddenly appeared at the far end of the horizon.
Moments later, that red light streaked across from the edge of the sky.
Carrying boundless might, it pressed down toward the lands of The West.
Upon seeing that red light, billions upon billions of living beings of the Primordial Land immediately grew agitated.
Some with weaker nerves had even begun trembling all over.
"This is..."
"The Red Embroidered Ball..."
Many people murmured to themselves.
That red radiance carrying sky-filling pressure was none other than Goddess Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball.
The treasure ranked thirty-third on the Treasure Ranking.
One Primordial Great Being after another raised their heads to look at the red light, nearly frightened senseless.
At that moment, the Red Embroidered Ball, bearing overwhelming pressure, appeared from the east.
It crossed directly toward The West and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.
All the great beings finally understood.
Goddess Nuwa had already been enraged by that unfamiliar Female Saint called Sanqi.
Then Sage Zhunti of The West had chosen to speak without restraint.
He had actually uttered such disrespectful words.
Words that looked down on Nuwa.
Naturally, Nuwa would not spare him.
Just then.
That breathtakingly beautiful figure with a human head and serpent body stepped out of Wa Palace.
She then followed closely behind the Red Embroidered Ball and crossed westward.
A moment later, a clear voice suddenly resounded through heaven and earth:
"Zhunti of The West, since you have spoken so disrespectfully and look down on me, then make your move. Let us have a proper battle!"
"Let this little woman see exactly what means you possess to look down on me."
The Primordial Great Beings were instantly horrified.
Before the Treasure Ranking had even been completed, Goddess Nuwa had issued a challenge to all of The West.
Now that the Mystic Treasure Chart had concluded, Goddess Nuwa had ultimately decided to make her move and collect her debt.
Now there would be quite a show to watch...
After all, the battle between Nuwa and Zhunti.
Would practically determine who the weakest Sage truly was!
There were four Sages in the east.
They were the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.
Nuwa was the weakest among the four eastern Sages.
After all, she disliked conflict, and her offensive methods were rather ordinary.
Compared with the Three Pure Ones, she was naturally a step behind.
Meanwhile, there were two Sages in The West!
By comparison, Zhunti was indeed somewhat weaker.
The weakest Sage of the east and the weakest Sage of The West.
The loser would naturally become the weakest Sage.
For a time, everyone's gaze turned toward The West.
After all, aside from the era of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
This was the first time a battle between Sages had occurred.
They absolutely could not miss it.
At Tushita Palace, Grand Supreme Old Lord frowned slightly, his expression somewhat displeased.
Goddess Nuwa's actions were somewhat rash.
Now that the Hongmeng Purple Gold List had appeared.
Various rankings were about to emerge one after another.
Many matters had yet to be understood.
Yet Nuwa could not wait to make a move against Zhunti...
She truly had not thought this through.
He frowned slightly at that moment.
Then he began calculating how this matter would unfold.
Yet he could never reach a result.
In the end, he sighed and abandoned his attempt to deduce the heavenly secrets.
"A battle between Sages is no trivial matter. Hopefully, the situation will not spiral completely out of control..."
Grand Supreme Old Lord was, after all, the leader of the Mystic School.
There were far more matters on his mind than on those of the other Sages.
Meanwhile, inside Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun also frowned slightly.
He too was rather unhappy.
He could not help cursing Goddess Nuwa inwardly as a crazy woman.
Grand Supreme Old Lord had always lived in seclusion.
Master Tongtian had an eccentric and violent temperament and never concerned himself with worldly affairs.
Thus, Yuanshi Tianzun handled nearly all the affairs of the Primordial Land.
As such, Yuanshi Tianzun practically regarded himself as the master of the Primordial Land.
Yet Nuwa's actions had now pushed matters toward a state of losing control.
This displeased him greatly.
On the surface, it was a private matter between Nuwa and Zhunti.
But from the broader perspective, it was the first clash between the east and west of the Primordial Land.
If Nuwa won.
It would very likely provoke the indignation of the living beings in The West.
After all, Nuwa had crossed westward to battle Zhunti of the Western Sect.
It gave the impression that Nuwa was using the heavenly might of the east to bully The West.
If Nuwa lost.
The east would likely erupt completely.
After all, Nuwa was fighting Zhunti.
No one wished to see Nuwa lose.
If Nuwa's westward journey was mishandled, it could very easily trigger a great war.
"Damn Nuwa... I never expected her temper to be so petty... A few remarks, and she is already screaming about fighting and killing..."
Yuanshi Tianzun was indignant.
At the same time, he inwardly cursed Zhunti Daoist as well.
"Don't you know what you are? Trash who had to borrow karmic debt from the Heavenly Dao just to become a Sage... Yet you actually dared look down on Nuwa, the first to become a Sage... You really are a joke..."
Meanwhile, Sage Tongtian of Golden Turtle Island, Biyou Palace, lay amid the clouds, gazing sidelong toward The West.
His eyes revealed a mocking look.
"Fight, fight... Sooner or later, it is all the same... One dead means one less..."
Sage Tongtian had always possessed an eccentric temperament and never feared making trouble worse when watching a spectacle.
With the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Sword Formation in hand.
He regarded everyone as nothing more than marked heads waiting to be taken.
Even among the Sages, he often looked down on his two senior brothers.
Much less the other Sages.
At that moment, atop Great Mount Sumeru of the Western Sect stood a Bodhi Tree that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
This Bodhi Ancient Tree was incomparably immense, blotted out the sky and covered the earth, and vaguely seemed to envelop the entire western world.
The originally barren western world seemed to become more stable beneath the shelter of this Bodhi Tree.
The western living beings, whose lives were full of hardship, could barely survive under the care of this towering ancient tree.
Seated beneath the ancient tree was a bald old man with a withered face.
This pair was none other than the Two Sages of the West.
The towering tree was Zhunti Daoist.
The bald old man was Daoist Jie Yin.
Because The West was barren and its living beings led miserable lives.
Zhunti Daoist often transformed into his true form and sheltered The West.
Protecting the living beings of The West.
He had only just transformed into his true form not long ago.
When Saint Nuwa crossed into The West...
It left Sage Zhunti utterly enraged.
A flash of light appeared.
The ancient, vast Bodhi Tree that blotted out the sky and covered the earth transformed into a Daoist with twin topknots and a slightly yellow complexion.
It was Sage Zhunti.
At that moment, Sage Zhunti stared into the void of the east, fury blazing in his eyes.
"Nuwa, you truly are something else. With the great calamity of the Primordial Land imminent, you still want to attack me. You truly are a madwoman..."
Sage Zhunti, now in Daoist form, was indignant.
The bald Guiding Sage of the West beside him sighed softly, his face bitter.
Why was their West so miserable?
Since ancient times, that damned Rahu had drained all the spiritual energy from The West.
From then on, The West had been inherently deficient and become incomparably barren.
Thus, for countless years, it had been looked down upon by the several Sages of the east.
Yet his junior brother also refused to stay out of trouble and had caused many calamities.
And now, during these troubled times, he had offended Saint Nuwa as well...
Needlessly bringing so much trouble upon The West.
Daoist Jie Yin raised his head and looked toward the distant void, a trace of gravity appearing in his eyes.
Clearly, he was also uncertain of Saint Nuwa's true strength.
It was said that Goddess Nuwa was the weakest among the Sages.
Next came his junior brother, Zhunti Daoist.
Yet Daoist Jie Yin did not see it that way.
Saint Nuwa was the first Honored One to become a Sage.
She was also the Sage with the greatest fortune upon her.
Her strength absolutely could not be underestimated.
If his junior brother handled this poorly, he would likely suffer a great loss.
"Zhunti, Nuwa has come from the east with ill intent. You must deal with her carefully!"
Zhunti Daoist nodded fiercely.
Then he looked toward the east.
Before long, a streak of red light flashed over from the eastern horizon.
It was precisely the Red Embroidered Ball, carrying endless pressure.
The long-awaited battle of Zhunti versus Nuwa in the Primordial Land...
Was about to begin.
