Hongjun: You'll Take These Saint-Smiting Pills Whether You Like It or Not!
The Dao Body indifferently surveyed everyone present, uttering two words.
"Stop."
The sound was not loud, but it contained the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Dao, causing all the Saint to feel a tremor originating from the depths of their Primordial Spirit.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
He actually showed up!
However, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master were already bloodthirsty at this moment.
They exchanged a glance, ignoring Hongjun's Imperial Edict, and their attacks not only did not stop, but became even more ferocious!
They have already paid the price of shattering the Primordial Wilderness; if they cannot snatch their disciple's True Spirit back from the Two from the West, then everything will have been in vain!
"Hand over my disciple's True Spirit!"
Yuanshi Tianzun roared, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, wrapped in Chaos Divine Light, continued to smash mercilessly towards Zhunti.
The Tongtian Sect Master was also filled with murderous intent, and the sword light of the Qingping Sword did not falter in the slightest, pointing directly at Jieyin.
Jieyin and Zhunti were terrified. They never imagined that these two would be so crazy as to dare to defy even the Dao Ancestor's Imperial Edict!
"Dao Ancestor, save me!"
"Dao Ancestor! Primordial Lord and Tongtian have gone mad, daring to defy your Imperial Edict! We beg you Dao Ancestor, to take action and suppress these fiends!"
Almost simultaneously, Jieyin and Zhunti issued their desperate cries for help.
The Hongjun's Avatar standing in the center of the battlefield finally showed a slight ripple on his indifferent face.
That was anger.
His majestic rage was provoked by ants.
"Presumptuous!"
The angry rebuke was no longer a mundane statement, but a thunderous rage imbued with the Law of Heavenly Dao!
Hongjun's Avatar casually flicked his sleeve and gently pressed down in the direction of Primordial Lord and Tongtian.
There was no earth-shattering power, no world-destroying fluctuation.
It was just a simple, casual press.
The Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master, along with their attacks, were completely frozen in the void at that moment.
It was as if the entire spacetime was completely controlled by this hand.
The Saint aura emanating from the two individuals vanished instantly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, leaving them completely immobile.
The suppression took only a moment.
Only now did everyone present truly realize the terror of this Dao Ancestor.
Before him, even a Saint is no different from an ant.
The Taiqing Saint, Nuwa, Wu, and even Jieyin and Zhunti, who had just been calling for help, all concealed their auras and dared not make the slightest move.
Everyone bowed respectfully to the Dao Body.
"Greetings, Dao Ancestor."
Hongjun's Avatar ignored everyone, his indifferent gaze sweeping over this devastated and unrecognizable Primordial World.
Above the sky was a bottomless, enormous hole, into which endless Chaos Qi poured in, causing Earth Water Fire Wind to rage.
On the earth, mountains and rivers collapsed, seas flowed backward, and countless lives were reduced to ashes in this catastrophe.
Look at the mess you've made!
Hongjun finally spoke, and his calm words contained a fury that would chill even the most Saint to the bone.
"As Heavenly Dao Saint, you are entrusted with teaching and guiding all living beings on behalf of Heaven, and should therefore maintain the stability of the Primordial Wilderness."
"Yet, for his own selfish gain, he unleashed boundless Killing Tribulation, shattering the Primordial Wilderness, throwing heaven and earth into imbalance, and causing countless lives to perish!"
"They are even more audacious, daring to shatter the Investiture of the Gods that I personally bestowed upon them, disrupting the will of Heaven and defying the will of Heaven!"
With each word Hongjun spoke, the heads of the Saint present drooped even lower.
The supreme pressure emanating from the Heavenly Dao made even their Primordial Spirit tremble.
"Do you all know your crimes?"
"Disciple knows his sin."
The Five Saints, Taiqing, Primordial Lord, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, replied in unison, daring not to offer the slightest rebuttal.
Hongjun snorted coldly and said no more.
He slowly extended his hand, and a flash of light appeared in his palm. Three completely black pills, exuding an ominous aura, appeared out of thin air.
The moment the elixir appeared, a strange sense of unease enveloped the hearts of the Three Pure Ones.
"This Tribulation arose entirely from the struggle between the three of you, causing the Primordial Wilderness to shatter, countless lives to be lost, and your sins to be grave."
"Today, I will punish you all by making you take this pill."
Hongjun flicked his finger, and the three pills transformed into Three Daos of light, which floated in front of Taiqing, Primordial Lord, and Tongtian respectively.
Both the Taiqing Saint and the Yuanshi Tianzun felt a strong sense of unease as they looked at the strange elixir before them.
Even with their Saint level of attainment, they couldn't see through the origin and effects of this elixir at all.
This in itself is extremely abnormal!
The Tongtian Sect Master froze the moment he saw the pill.
The Saint-Smiting Pill!
This must be the Saint-Smiting Pill that Zhou Ming mentioned!
Dao Ancestor, he really took it out!
A bone-chilling cold surged wildly from the depths of his Primordial Spirit.
He forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, raised his head, and looked directly at Hongjun.
"May I ask the Dao Ancestor, what is this elixir? And what is its purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Taiqing and Primordial Lord, who were originally preparing to consume it directly, paused in their actions.
They also looked at Hongjun, waiting for his answer.
Tongtian's actions made them realize that this elixir was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Hongjun's Avatar's expression remained unchanged; he simply spoke indifferently.
"Take this pill, and you will know for sure."
This ambiguous statement instantly sank the hearts of Taiqing and Primordial Lord.
The Tongtian Sect Master sneered.
"Is the Dao Ancestor afraid to reveal the effects of this elixir?"
"Or is it that you can't say?"
These words instantly extinguished the tension in the room.
Taiqing and Primordial Lord's bodies trembled.
How dare Tongtian question the Dao Ancestor like that!
But this also made them even more convinced that there was something seriously wrong with the pills in front of them!
"Third Brother, how dare you be so rude!" the Taiqing Saint shouted, then bowed to Hongjun.
"Please Dao Ancestor me, Dao Ancestor, what exactly is this elixir? So that I may know what it is."
Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke up, "This disciple is foolish and humbly requests Master's clarification."
The indifferent gaze of Hongjun's Avatar slowly fell upon the Three Pure Ones, and the invisible pressure instantly increased a hundredfold!
"How?"
"Are you going to disobey my orders?"
Taiqing and Primordial Lord's expressions changed instantly, and they quickly bowed.
"This disciple dares not!"
They dared not disobey Hongjun's orders openly, but they also dared not easily consume these pills of unknown origin.
For a moment, the two Saint found themselves in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.
At that moment, despite the terrifying pressure, the Tongtian Sect Master spoke again.
His words, like thunder, resounded in everyone's Primordial Spirit!
"If I'm not mistaken, this pill should be called the ' Saint-Smiting Pill ', right?"
"If we were to consume it, our lives would likely be entirely in the hands of the Dao Ancestor from that moment on!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire world fell into a deathly silence!
The Saint-Smiting Pill!
The elixir that brought down even Saint!
The Taiqing Saint and the Yuanshi Tianzun were trembling violently. They looked at Tongtian in disbelief, and then at the pitch-black elixir in front of them.
The Jieyin nearby, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, were utterly horrified.
The Primordial Spirit of Saint is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, enduring through countless eons, immortal and indestructible—this is the ironclad law of the Heavenly Dao!
How could there possibly be an elixir capable of killing Saint?
Moreover, how could the Dao Ancestor possibly refine an elixir capable of killing Saint?
This realization completely overturned their worldview and instilled in them an unprecedented sense of fear!
When Hongjun's Avatar heard the words "Saint-Smiting Pill," a very subtle change finally appeared on his face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
How could Tongtian possibly know the name and function of this elixir!
A thought flashed through Hongjun's mind in an instant.
Zhou Ming!
It seems Zhou Ming told him!
A chilling killing intent flashed through Hongjun's mind.
Now that he'd been exposed, he decided not to hide it anymore.
"Good."
"This pill is indeed the Saint-Smiting Pill."
He glanced at the Three Pure Ones, whose expressions had changed drastically, and the other equally horrified Saint, and continued speaking.
"I refined this pill to prevent the three of you from fighting again in the future and causing Primordial Wilderness."
"As long as you behave yourselves and stop fighting amongst yourselves, this pill will not harm you in any way."
"But if you start fighting again, this pill will immediately take effect, causing your Primordial Spirit to Jiemie and your bodies to die!"
"My actions are also for the good of the Primordial Wilderness."
Boom!
Hongjun's words completely confirmed Tongtian's guess.
The bodies of the Taiqing Saint and the Yuanshi Tianzun trembled violently. They looked at the pitch-black pill in front of them as if it were the most terrifying poison in the world.
This is no medicine; it's a death warrant hanging over their heads!
Once they consume it, their Fate will be completely controlled by the Dao Ancestor!
The so-called dignity of Saint, the so-called indestructibility, will all become a joke!
"Now you know the function of this elixir."
Hongjun's Avatar indifferently surveyed the three of them.
"Take it."
No one moved.
The Taiqing Saint lowered his head, remaining silent, seemingly lost in thought.
The body of the Yuanshi Tianzun trembled slightly, a sign of extreme anger and resentment.
The Tongtian Sect Master straightened his back, his face full of determination and a cold smile.
Take it?
Absolutely impossible!
Seeing that the three were reluctant to take the pills, Hongjun finally ran out of patience.
"It seems you truly intend to defy the Heavenly Dao and defy me."
As he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand.
A terrifying power, far exceeding anything seen before, began to gather in his palm, preparing to forcefully imprison the Three Pure Ones and compel them to consume the Saint-Smiting Pill.
