Dao-Devil Conflict, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation Breaks!

"Damn it, damn it, utterly damnable!"

The Four Swords of Zhuxian were only a wisp of baleful intent away from completion, yet the great battle had abruptly come to a halt. How could Luo Hou not be enraged?!

With his heart set, Luo Hou directly fused countless members of the Devil Race into the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but the effect was negligible!

"This infuriates me to death!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou roared without cease, but he could not possibly fuse every last member of the Devil Race into them!

If he truly fused them all into the Four Swords of Zhuxian and succeeded in the end, that would be one thing. But judging by the current situation, even refining them all would fail to achieve the desired effect!

In the end, he, the lofty Demon Ancestor, would become a commander without troops!

Yet at this moment, Hongjun on Jade Capital Mountain had other plans!

"Three fellow Daoists, this old Daoist has divined with his fingers that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's fate has run its course. If we can kill Luo Hou, the Dao Sect will flourish greatly thereafter, and the three of you may also climb a hundred-foot pole and take another step forward! What do you three fellow Daoists think?"

Hearing Hongjun's words, Yin Yang Old Ancestor and Universe Ancestor exchanged glances, then silently nodded.

Limitless Old Ancestor said, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, how certain are you this time?"

Hongjun Ancestor said unhurriedly, "If all fellow Daoists are willing to lend your utmost aid, this poor Daoist is ninety percent certain!"

The three of them immediately lit up at Hongjun's words!

Each of them bore some grudge against Luo Hou, and if they could eliminate him this time, there would be benefits to reap as well. They all nodded in agreement!

Hongjun said, "Since that is so, let us set out at once. When Luo Hou sets up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the four of us need only guard one gate each to break the formation!"

With that, four streaks of light sped westward!

"Such nerve!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou had already learned that the four had arrived in the west!

He immediately went out to meet them, only to see that the four were already before him!

"There is a road to heaven, yet you refuse to take it; hell has no gate, yet you charge right in!"

Hongjun said, "Luo Hou, do not be so arrogant. Today is the day you die!"

Luo Hou snorted coldly and said no more. Drawing the God Slaying Spear, he charged straight at the four!

Countless spear shadows filled the skies and lunged toward the four ancestors. The four ancestors each displayed their divine abilities and unleashed their own magic treasures!

Hongjun wielded the Pangu Banner, waving it continuously to block the God Slaying Spear's attacks. Endless ghostly radiance completely cut off the spear shadows!

Yin Yang Old Ancestor brought forth the Taiji Diagram, evolving yin and yang energies that dispersed every spear shadow;

Universe Ancestor moved with the gait of a dragon and tiger, weaving about the battlefield. Without warning, he would strike out with a palm, unleashing immense power to collide head-on with the God Slaying Spear;

Limitless Old Ancestor stepped in the Seven Stars Step, his figure flickering as he evaded the spear shadows. His Limitless Sword Art had reached the pinnacle of perfection!

For a time, radiance flashed across the heavens and energy surged wildly, shrouding the entire west in a tense atmosphere.

But no matter how powerful Luo Hou was, he could not gain the slightest advantage against the four!

The Four Great Demon Kings also raced toward the battlefield, but the disparity in strength was simply too great. How could the Four Great Demon Kings withstand even a single strike from Hongjun?!

Before Hongjun, at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, they were scattered with a single move and vanished without a trace!

Luo Hou flew into a rage and shouted, "All of you, die!"

Then, from above the Nine Heavens, a familiar ballad rang out once more:

"Neither bronze nor iron, nor yet is it steel, Once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru. Without yin and yang reversed in the forging, How could water and fire temper its edge? Immortal Slaughtering is sharp, Immortal Slaughtering brings death, Immortal Trapping raises crimson light in every direction. Immortal Severing holds transformations without end— Even Daluo immortals shall have their robes stained in blood!"

"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, arise!"

In an instant, the sun and moon reversed, and heaven and earth changed color!

Seeing this, Hongjun feigned surprise, then shouted, "Fellow Daoists, follow me into the formation!"

But how could such a subtle change escape Luo Hou's notice!

Luo Hou laughed loudly. "Old Hongjun, this Demon Ancestor's sword formation is no longer the sword formation it once was. No matter what abilities you possess, you will find it hard to escape death!"

Hongjun within the formation also sneered. "Luo Hou, this ancestor is not the ancestor I was yesterday either. Watch how I break your formation!"

As he spoke, four streaks of light flew toward the four gates respectively!

Within the sword formation, thick smoke billowed and baleful intent towered to the heavens, making north and south indistinguishable!

Yin Yang Old Ancestor faced the Immortal Slaughtering Sword!

Limitless Old Ancestor faced the Immortal Trapping Sword!

Universe Ancestor faced the Immortal Severing Sword!

Hongjun Ancestor faced the Immortal Slaughtering Sword!

The four all brought forth their magic treasures to resist!

Within the formation, Hongjun and the others each displayed their divine abilities!

Yin Yang Old Ancestor unleashed the divine art of Taiji, dissolving the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's fierce offensive;

Limitless Old Ancestor employed the Limitless Great Art to resist the devouring power of the Immortal Trapping Sword;

Universe Ancestor, meanwhile, performed the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, deftly evading the Immortal Severing Sword's fatal attacks.

Hongjun Ancestor faced the Immortal Slaughtering Sword head-on. He chanted under his breath, then swept his whisk, sending a streak of purple spiritual light crashing into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword with an earth-shaking boom!

For a moment, Sword Qi crisscrossed the air and radiant light spilled in every direction, making the entire sword formation tremble.

Luo Hou was greatly alarmed at the sight, for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had yet to reach completion!

He immediately steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and offered up his own blood essence, merging it into the formation!

In an instant, the sword formation's ghostly radiance blazed brightly!

Without a supreme treasure to protect him, Universe Ancestor was wounded by the Immortal Severing Sword's Sword Qi, his vital essence continuously draining away!

Seeing that he was about to become nourishment for the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he roared, "This Ancestor will fight you to the death!" Then he charged at the Immortal Severing Sword and chose to self-destruct!

The moment Universe Ancestor self-destructed, the pressure on Hongjun and the other two surged!

Limitless Old Ancestor, too, was eroded by the Immortal Trapping Sword's devouring force. Seeing no path left to him, he likewise chose to self-destruct!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword that Yin Yang Old Ancestor faced had already been incomparably fierce. With the self-destruction of the two Ancestors, he could no longer endure it. In a moment of carelessness, he was wounded by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and ultimately chose to end things through self-destruction as well!

Though the self-destruction of the three Ancestors did not destroy the sword formation, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had nevertheless suffered considerable damage by now!

Though Luo Hou was frantic, seeing that three of the four had already fallen, he could not help but rejoice!

He said, "Hongjun, you old fool, what tricks do you have left? My Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot be broken without four people. Become nourishment for my sword formation! Hahahaha!"

Hongjun snorted coldly. "A mere sword formation. Watch this Ancestor break it!"

With that, he slapped his forehead, and three identical Hongjuns flew out from his Spirit Platform!

Hongjun said, "Fellow Daoists, help me break the formation!"

The other three Hongjuns immediately flew toward the other three swords!

These "four Hongjuns" shared one mind, and exerted their strength together!

With a thunderous BOOM, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was broken!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation's destruction caused Luo Hou to suffer a backlash. He immediately spat out black blood, his vital energy grievously damaged!

Hongjun looked coldly at Luo Hou and said, "Luo Hou, you have committed evil beyond measure. Today is your day of death!"

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou threw back his head and laughed. "Hongjun brat, I never thought you could be so ruthless and merciless, finding three scapegoats to help you charge the formation. Even if this Demon Ancestor dies, I will not let you off easy!"

As he spoke, his body rapidly expanded, and he charged toward Hongjun!

Seeing that Luo Hou was about to self-destruct, Hongjun's face changed drastically. He sped away to the rear, but it was already too late!
