Even when facing the Spiritual Power of a Saint, they would never retreat.

At this moment, the void of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was torn open, and the Kongtong Seal descended with a roar, emitting boundless Human Dao Grand Momentum.

The Three Sovereigns continuously poured their Human Race Grand Momentum into the Kongtong Seal, making the aura it released even more terrifying.

Its power had already surpassed that of ordinary Human Race Saints, directly challenging Heavenly Dao Saints.

Upon seeing this, Zhunti's pupils contracted slightly. The calm Dao Heart within him was now stirred by immense waves.

He understood that the Human Race was borrowing some kind of power, possibly Taishang lending his Human Race Destiny.

He suppressed the shock in his heart, looked through the void towards the Eight Sceneries Palace, and expressed his feelings and questioned the calculations of his senior brother, Li Er.

Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, Li Er's response to Zhunti's words carried a hint of mockery.

Zhunti was rendered speechless by the retort. He could only confidently state his status as a Saint, claiming he would not be entangled in karma, and questioned who would dare to judge him for karma.

At this moment, Zhunti was filled with arrogance. Even when facing Li Er, he showed no fear.

He firmly believed that even if he couldn't defeat Li Er, he would not lose his dignity as a Saint.

The karma of today had no direct connection to Li Er, the Grand Pure Saint. At most, Li Er could lend a hand to the Human Race's Three Sovereigns, but he couldn't personally deal with him.

After all, his karma with Hongyun had nothing to do with Li Er.

Although Li Er, by virtue of Hongyun belonging to the Grand Pure lineage, could offer indirect assistance, if he were to personally descend and initiate a conflict between two Saints, it would be unreasonable.

Zhunti's goal was clear: he only intended to capture the Human Race's Three Sovereigns.

He taunted Li Er, believing that even with the aid of the Kongtong Seal, the Human Race's Three Sovereigns would still be insufficient against the power of a Saint.

In his view, the Human Race's Three Sovereigns would ultimately only become his defeated opponents.

Facing Zhunti's arrogance, Li Er merely smiled faintly. He proposed to strike down Zhunti's Saint Dao Fruit.

This statement immediately caused Zhunti to feel uneasy.

Although their previous conversation had been calm, Li Er's words were like a heavy bomb, instantly putting Zhunti on alert.

As a Saint, his perception of danger was extremely keen.

Zhunti simply did not believe that Li Er could strike down his Saint Dao Fruit.

He firmly believed that he and Li Er, as fellow Saints, were evenly matched. Even if Li Er had attained Dao by Slaying Three Corpses, he could not arbitrarily strip away another's Saint Dao Fruit.

A strong sense of invincibility surged within him. Even when facing a powerful individual like Li Er, he would never easily submit.

While Li Er was invincible among the Saints, he was still lacking before the Heavenly Dao.

As fellow Saints, Zhunti would never allow his Saint Dao Fruit to be taken away.

With a cold snort, Zhunti's Sixteen-Foot Golden Body hurtled towards the Kongtong Seal.

Today, he would start with the Kongtong Seal and challenge the Human Race's Three Sovereigns.

Instantly, as Zhunti unleashed his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree appeared in his hand. It was his Dao Attainment Supreme Treasure, reputed to be able to brush away anything.

With a flash of divine light, its powerful offensive aura caused the expressions of countless Quasi-Saint giants to change.

Aimed at the Human Race's Three Sovereigns and the Kongtong Seal, Zhunti intended to sweep them all away.

Although he could not kill the Human Race Saints, the act of seizing their treasure was enough to shock the world.

The Kongtong Seal had previously only exercised its authority to stamp, never revealing its divine might.

But today, under the assault of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, it bloomed with immeasurable radiance, as if some great momentum was awakening, and a terrifying aura spread out.

As the heavens and earth changed color, the space above the void of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was enveloped by the terrifying aura of the Kongtong Seal.

The Human Race Grand Momentum condensed in the void, releasing boundless power.

Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa all felt an extreme sense of dread. The performance of the Kongtong Seal surpassed its level as a Human Dao Supreme Treasure.

Behind the Kongtong Seal was like a pure land, protecting the Human Race's Three Sovereigns from any harm.

Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged glances, their expressions solemn.

They realized that their eldest brother had made a move.

Zhunti naturally sensed all of this as well.

He let out a cold laugh. Even if Taishang made a move, so what? He was determined to seize the Kongtong Seal.

Zhunti's Sixteen-Foot Golden Body and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree contained infinite power.

He launched a fierce attack on the Human Race's Three Sovereigns and the Kongtong Seal.

The Human Race's Three Sovereigns—Fuxi, Hongyun, and Xuanyuan—their pupils contracted. Then they murmured to themselves, "This is a contingency left by Saint Taishang; it must be extraordinary. We have nothing to fear."

Under everyone's eager gaze, Zhunti's attack descended with a roar.

Hongyun, Fuxi, and Xuanyuan, the Three Sovereigns, stood beneath the Kongtong Seal, feeling as if the entire world was violently shaking.

However, despite the immense power of Zhunti's attack, they were not affected in the slightest.

Zhunti's attack was actually blocked by the Human Race's Three Sovereigns.

Hongyun and the others felt their minds settle.

And opposite the Kongtong Seal, as Zhunti attacked with boundless Saintly might, the Human Race Grand Momentum on the Kongtong Seal instantly vanished, replaced by the surging Daoist Sect Grand Momentum.

This momentum erupted from the Kongtong Seal, plunging the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall into deathly silence.

Zhunti's Sixteen-Foot Golden Body divine ability was forcefully shattered, and he himself was severely wounded, spitting blood and flying backward.

Facing the recent attack, Zhunti felt intense fear.

He had never experienced such a strong feeling since he attained Dao and became a Saint.

It was the pressure brought by the Daoist Sect Grand Momentum released from the Kongtong Seal.

The Kongtong Grand Seal, carrying the power of the Daoist Sect Grand Momentum, was like the sole existence in the void, launching a final attack on Zhunti.

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the void lost its color.

At this moment, Zhunti faced an attack that could shake his Saint Dao Fruit and damage his Dao Foundation.

Wielding the Kongtong Seal, which could decide the establishment and abolition of Human Emperors, was, for Zhunti, an even greater threat to his Saint Dao Fruit.

His senior brother Jieyin heard Zhunti's cry and immediately understood his need.

Zhunti was extremely terrified at this moment, his fear of the Kongtong Seal reaching his bones.

Zhunti was facing an extremely tense situation; if he could not resist the pressure of the Kongtong Seal, he would lose his Saint Dao Fruit and fall to the Quasi-Saint level.

Although theoretically, a Saint's Dao Fruit could be re-condensed after being shattered, no one wanted to experience such a fall.

At this moment, Zhunti's expression had drastically changed under the pressure of the Kongtong Seal.

The Quasi-Saint giants from all sides also felt the immense pressure from the Kongtong Seal, trembling with fear.

The three Saints also observed this duel, curious whether the two Defensive Supreme Treasures could withstand the power of the Kongtong Seal.

These mighty figures witnessed a soul-stirring battle today with their own eyes.

They had initially thought they were just watching an ordinary fight, but unexpectedly, they witnessed Zhunti, one of the Two Sages of the West, being suppressed like never before.

Neither of the two Defensive Supreme Treasures could resist the power of the Kongtong Seal; Saint Zhunti was severely wounded, and even his Saint Dao Fruit was threatened.

The majestic Kongtong Seal descended, seemingly carrying the Grand Momentum of heaven and earth, posing a fatal blow directly to Saint Zhunti.

His Dao Fruit seemed to shatter under the suppression of heaven and earth, a wondrous sight that left them in awe.

All the Saints felt exhilarated by this, a result they had long awaited.

However, the unknown variables in this battle were unfathomable; whether Saint Zhunti's Dao Fruit could be completely shattered still required further observation.

But they knew that no matter what, the scene today would be forever etched in their memories.

At the moment of existence, at the moment of the Kongtong Seal's power, Saint Zhunti's Dao Fruit shattered with a roar, his cultivation plummeting to the Quasi-Saint realm.

This turn of events shocked and chilled countless Quasi-Saint mighty figures.

Zhunti became the first Saint among the Saints to fall from his position, astonishing in his transition from Saint to Quasi-Saint in an instant.

Had the Saint Zhunti of the West truly had his Saint Dao Fruit shattered by the Grand Momentum of the Kongtong Seal? Even from within the Xuandu Purple Mansion, to be able to shatter a Saint's Dao Fruit, perhaps only Taishang the Supreme Saint possessed such might.

Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa, among other powerful beings, also felt the importance and crisis of this event.

Zhunti's resilient Dao Heart couldn't help but falter; he realized that Taishang the Supreme Saint truly had the ability to shatter his Saint Dao Fruit.

This blow was indeed significant for him; even if he could cultivate anew in the future, the humiliation of today had already severely damaged his Dao Heart.

He had thought that becoming a Saint meant freedom and ease, but he never expected to encounter such a turn of events.

Apart from Li Er, he was invincible in the world!

At this moment, Li Er forcefully shattered Zhunti's Saint Dao Fruit, causing him to fall from sainthood.

Zhunti's heart was instantly torn apart.

At this moment, he understood the truth—even Saints could fail, and their Saint Dao Fruit could be shattered.

However, Zhunti instantly became enraged, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared, "Li Er, I will not rest until I am your sworn enemy!"

As if to confirm Zhunti's words, a figure appeared, as if emerging from dust into the mortal world, with the bearing of a true Saint, towering above the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. It was Li Er.

Instantly, everyone in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall rose and bowed deeply in the direction of Li Er, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Taishang Saint!"

Whether it was the Heavenly Court personnel or the Quasi-Saint giants, all paid their respects in unison.

Zhunti, in his rage, lost his Saintly demeanor and roared at Li Er.

At this moment, he was no longer a Saint.

Li Er glanced at Zhunti indifferently and smiled calmly, "Go ahead and report me.

If a Saint incurs karma and does not repay it, how can they be called a Saint?"

His words were casual, yet they fully displayed the demeanor of the Daoist Sect Leader.

This calm tone further highlighted Li Er's depth and composure, earning him admiration.

Facing Zhunti, a being who was also a Saint, Li Er showed no fear, displaying extraordinary authority and grace.

This posture alone was enough to suppress Zhunti and shock everyone.

Zhunti questioned, "Are you questioning my decision?"

Li Er responded, "Brother, our paths differ, and we cannot conspire together."

Seeing Zhunti about to speak in anger, Jieyin let out a sigh.

Golden light surged around Zhunti, dense and numerous, forming a defense for him.

Jieyin frowned and said to Zhunti, "Stop being so rude."

The golden light in his pupils receded, and he then said to Zhunti, "We have already lost. We must accept this fact."

He continued, "If we continue to argue, Li Er will use this opportunity to make things even more difficult for us."

"We can only accept today's humiliation."

Although Jieyin's wisdom was not as great as Zhunti's, in this situation, he could distinguish the circumstances and knew that further entanglement was useless. Instead, it might give Li Er an opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Therefore, it was better to back down.

After all, the Li Er before them dared to defy even the Heavenly Dao. What could they, as Heavenly Dao Saints, do? Zhunti naturally understood Jieyin's meaning. Although his heart was filled with rage, he also understood his predicament.

He fell silent and said no more.

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall below, many Quasi-Saint mighty figures' eyes flickered with awe towards Li Er.

They all knew that in the entire Primordial World, the only one who could make a Saint back down and accept a reprimand was likely the Li Er before them.

"Saint Taishang is truly a being that makes even Saints despair."

In the void, the three Saints Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa watched the dejected Zhunti with cold smiles, but they didn't say much.

As bystanders, they needed to remain quiet at this critical juncture.

Li Er said to Zhunti, "Now that you are no longer a Saint, you shouldn't say any more about Saints not being tainted by karma, right?"

Zhunti's expression was grim, but he was not an ordinary person after all. After calming down slightly and recognizing reality, he stared at Li Er and said, "Laozi, you are ruthless!"

He said what he would do and, more importantly, he did it thoroughly.

For just a single sentence, Li Er had caused Zhunti to lose his Saint realm Dao Fruit.

This made Zhunti can't help but feel a bit of regret. Recalling his previous words and actions, he felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart.
