Chang Xi and Minghe Attain the Dao
In the midst of Chaos.
Tongtian was engaged in a fierce battle with four sages. Tongtian unleashed the Heaven Punishing Sword Formation, which enveloped Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti.
They tried to break the formation in the same direction as before, but found that the sword formation was no longer the same.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Yuanshi and beard stood on end, his eyes filled with disbelief. As he struggled to defend himself, he roared at the figure in the center of the sword formation, "Tongtian! How has your Immortal Execution Sword Formation become so powerful?! Even with the Four Saints present, we cannot break it?!"
In the center of the sword formation, Tongtian heard Yuanshi's roar and burst into laughter, a laughter filled with endless sorrow.
"Hahaha! Yuanshi! Do you think this is still the Immortal Execution Sword Formation bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace back then?"
His laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes turned cold.
"This formation is called—Slaying Heaven!"
"It was I who begged Dao Venerable Lin Tian to use his supreme Creation to improve it! It was specifically created to deal with the four of you!"
"Heaven Punishing Sword Formation, activate!"
Before the words were even finished, endless sword energy suddenly erupted from the center of the sword formation, sweeping towards the Four Saints!
"Not good!"
The Taishang's expression changed, Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda shone brightly!
Yuanshi roared and waved the Pangu Banner continuously. Jieyin up the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, and Zhunti activated his own Dharma Form, which had many hands holding various magical treasures!
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying force exploded in the Chaos!
The hazy, Chaos Qi was completely dispelled, forming a temporary void!
Where the Four Saints resided, the Xuanhuang Qi dissipated, the Golden Lotus's Buddha Light dimmed, and the seven-colored glow vanished!
"Pfft!" "Pfft!"
Both Jieyin and Zhunti coughed up large mouthfuls of golden blood, staggered, and their breaths became weak!
Even Taishang and Yuanshi were shaken by this attack and cried blood.
The power of this strike was terrifying!
The Taishang carefully observed the sword formation.
"If we were to forcefully break through the formation... I'm afraid it would require the combined efforts of five sages to have even a sliver of hope!"
"The Five Saints?!" Zhunti in shock and anger, spitting out blood. " In the Primordial Wilderness today, besides my teacher, who else is there who is Heavenly Dao Saint?! Do we have to ask my teacher to take action personally?!"
Looking at their disheveled state, Tongtian felt only endless sorrow.
He couldn't understand why the Three Pure Ones, all transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, had come to this point of brothers turning against each other.
Is it my own problem?
In their eyes, were they no different from outsiders Jieyin and Zhunti, or even more hateful?
It's truly... laughable, pathetic, and lamentable!
"Tongtian!"
Seeing that he couldn't win by force, Taishang had a sudden thought and let out a long sigh, "Do you really... have no regard whatsoever for the countless eons of friendship we, the Three Pure Ones, have built up?"
"Have you forgotten that the three of us brothers were all transformed from the primordial spirit of Father God Pangu? We were once the closest of brothers! How could it have come to this? How could it have come to this!"
He tried to appeal to Tongtian's emotions, attempting to sway his mind.
However, before Tongtian could respond, Yuanshi roared and interrupted Taishang: "Shut up! Elder brother! Who is his brother? We already said when we separated our family at Kunlun Mountain that the name of the Three Pure Ones is merely a name in name only!"
These words were like the coldest knife, piercing Tongtian's heart.
Tongtian slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only resolute determination remained in them.
"Since that's the case... then let's see who's the best."
"Let me see your current strength!"
His aura suddenly erupted!
The cultivation level of a fourth-level Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal was displayed.
The sword formation changes again!
Five swords rang out in unison, and countless sword energies transformed into a sword intent that transcended time and space.
The Chaos Qi stagnated, the laws receded, and Supernatural Power vanished, as if all existence was about to be reduced to nothingness!
The pressure on the Taishang suddenly increased!
They were horrified to discover that their Supernatural Power had been greatly reduced in strength under the erosion of this sword intent!
If this continues, the four of them will likely perish.
At this critical moment...
Hongjun has appeared!
He simply raised the whisk in his hand and gently waved it towards the sword formation.
"Disperse."
A single, unremarkable word.
The Heaven Punishing Sword Formation, which even the Four Saints were powerless to resist, shattered instantly.
The pressure on Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti in the formation suddenly disappeared, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then, their gazes toward Hongjun were filled with awe.
This is the Heavenly Dao Realm!
Before him, a sage is no different from an ant.
Tongtian spat out a mouthful of blood. The sword formation was forcibly broken, and since his mind was connected to the sword formation, he immediately suffered a severe backlash.
He stared intently at the suddenly appearing Hongjun, his eyes filled with rage.
"Dao Ancestor... do you intend to personally engage me in battle?"
Hongjun turned to Tongtian, his gaze calm yet ruthless. "Tongtian, you disregard the Heavenly Dao and act perversely... Today, I cannot let you live."
Before he finished speaking, he pointed towards the Tongtian.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying force pressed down directly on Tongtian.
Tongtian hurriedly used the five swords to form a defense, but it was to no avail.
"Puff-!"
Tongtian coughed up blood.
The difference is too big!
The Heavenly Dao Realm is a complete and utter crushing defeat for Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!
A hint of resentment flashed in Tongtian's eyes. Was he truly destined to perish here today?
Just then...
"Hongjun, aren't you ashamed to bully the weak?"
A voice appeared, causing Tongtian to smile slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a huge purple lotus platform appeared in front of Tongtian, protecting him.
Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus!
"Lin Tian!"
Hongjun looked at him, his eyes filled with anger, "It's you again... Why are you always going against me!"
Lin Tian smiled slightly and looked calmly at Hongjun: "You're overthinking it, Hongjun. You want to kill Tongtian, aren't you afraid of the backlash from your destiny?"
"My affairs are none of your concern."
Lin Tian's mind stirred.
A Long Spear appeared in his hand.
God-Slaying Spear!
"Since you've made your move, I'll stretch my muscles too."
Lin Tian spoke casually, as the God-Slaying Spear in his hand flew towards Hongjun.
Hongjun's pupils shrank sharply, and his whisk instantly formed layers of defense in front of him!
"Pfft!!"
A powerful force struck him hard in the chest!
"Puff--!"
Hongjun was sent flying without any chance to resist!
Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti were dumbfounded.
The teacher was defeated by Dao Venerable Lin Tian in a single blow?
Just how strong is Dao Venerable Lin Tian?
Lin Tian sheathed the God-Slaying Spear, not even glancing at the others, and said calmly to Tongtian, "Let's go."
Before the words were even finished, the two figures had already vanished into the Chaos.
The four Taishang them hurriedly flew towards the direction where Hongjun had fallen.
The Dao Injury on Hongjun's chest was healing at a visible speed, but his aura was much more disordered, and his face was gloomy.
He looked down at his chest, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
But in the end, he said nothing, only coldly glancing at the four saints who had arrived, before disappearing in a flash and returning to the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jieyin Zhunti looked at each other, said nothing, and left.
His expression Taishang blank, and then he vanished.
Yuanshi Shi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with resentment.
He was jealous!
Why?!
Why is it that Tongtian is so favored by Dao Venerable Lin Tian?
I'm clearly so much stronger than Tongtian...
Suddenly, a wisp of Black Qi appeared within his body, then vanished.
However, Yuanshi was unaware of this.
At this moment, strange phenomena appeared in the Primordial Wilderness.
"Boom!!!"
Countless golden lotus phantoms suddenly appeared out of thin air on the earth, swaying gracefully!
In the void, countless scenes and images of all living beings appear.
A powerful aura of a sage spread out!
"I am the Minghe, and now I have come to understand the true meaning of all beings, and have attained the Earthly Dao Saint! From this day forward, I shall forever guard the netherworld, and bear all things with boundless virtue!"
The majestic voice of the Ancestor Minghe resounded throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness!
Above the Netherworld, the bloodthirsty aura Minghe Styx transformed into a dark red aura, and behind him, a dark golden halo appeared.
He has officially entered the realm of sainthood!
Throughout the entire Netherworld, apart from the Witch Clan, all the other ghost messengers, some ghost generals, and the Asura Race knelt down and shouted.
"The Saint of the Minghe!"
Houtu appeared beside him, smiling, "Congratulations, Fellow Minghe Styx, on attaining the Sainthood of the Earthly Dao. From now on, you will shine as brightly as the Earthly Dao itself."
Minghe hurriedly bowed respectfully, his attitude extremely humble. "Empress Houtu! Minghe's success today is entirely due to the guidance and opportunities given by Your Majesty and Dao Venerable Lin Tian! Rest assured, Your Majesty, from this day forward, I, Minghe, will be a true human being in life and in death... well, in short, I will forever stand on the side of the underworld, and live and die with the Netherworld!"
His eyes were filled with determination and gratitude.
He Taiqing how he had attained his sainthood. Without the help of the Dao Venerable, he, Minghe, would probably never have even come close to becoming a saint!
Houtu nodded with a smile, and her figure faded away.
Minghe felt the powerful energy within him and was in an exceptionally good mood.
It seems I need to work even harder in the future!
However, another aura of saintly power appeared, making the beings of the Primordial Wilderness feel intimidated.
"Hmm? Another saint has been born?!"
"This aura... comes from the Moon Star?!"
"This... when did saints become so worthless?!"
Countless powerful divine thoughts were once again alarmed and turned towards the Moon Star.
On the Moon Star, Chang Xi, dressed in white, was enveloped in golden light of Human Way merit.
She has officially entered the realm of sainthood, becoming Human Dao Saint!
However, upon attaining sainthood, Chang Xi showed little joy on her face.
She slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the endless starry sky, and murmured softly:
"Sister... I have become a saint."
"Sister... I miss you so much..."
A single, crystal-clear tear slid down her cheek.
