Duobao Brings Out the Earth Splitting Chisel

Yuanshi truly did not want the Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace to end up like Minghe.

The loss to the Mystic Gate would be far too great!

Yuanshi genuinely wanted to have the Eight Immortals withdraw; he truly appreciated these eight juniors of the Mystic Gate!

After all, although they were disciples of Tongtian, they did not belong to a major sect.

If he could pull them over to join his own Chan Jiao... that would be perfect!

If Duobao and the others could truly join Chan Jiao, Yuanshi would even dare to hand the position of Sect Leader over to them!

It was just a pity about one thing!

He did not have the authority to decide!

No matter how much Yuanshi liked the Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace, he could not change the fact that the eight disciples under Duobao were disciples of Tongtian!

By comparison, his own disciples were nothing but rotten wood!

He, Yuanshi, was a man who cared about his reputation.

Regarding this matter, he was completely helpless!

Once the Investiture of the Gods Calamity ends, I must properly reorganize Chan Jiao!

Yuanshi was practically gritting his teeth in his heart!

He even considered whether he should lower his head to Tongtian and borrow a few of the Eight Immortals.

In any case, they had not joined any other major sect.

So, what other major sect could be better than Chan Jiao?

It couldn't possibly be the Western Teachings, right?!

It was just that he cared about his face!

How embarrassing!!

The conversation between the saints of the Mystic Gate was heard clearly by Yang Mei.

Although they had used sound transmission, Yang Mei was, after all, a mighty figure at the Peak Dao Integration Realm, so these transmissions were no different than people speaking right into his ears.

Yang Mei sneered in his heart:

"Taishang, Yuanshi, and Nuwa are at least sensible!"

"But Tongtian... he truly refuses to shed tears until he sees the coffin!"

"Fine, I shall let Yang Liu Daoist crush you until you collapse!"

"The Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace? Just wipe them out!"

He coldly sent a message to Yang Liu Daoist, "Do not hold back, kill all of the Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace!"

On the path of the Great Dao, one cannot be soft-hearted.

That would be irresponsible to oneself!

Yang Mei wanted to make Tongtian understand that some things cannot be achieved by faith alone.

Living in the Primordial Era, one must believe in Karma and accept fate!

Those who do not accept the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao must be purged!

Who represents the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao?

The one who lies high upon the nine-layered clouds, sitting quietly in Zixiao Palace, is the grand trend of the Heavenly Dao!

Suddenly, a beam of light streaked across space and time, Yang Mei let out a cry of surprise, and reached out to grab it.

A situation beyond the expectations of all the saints occurred!

The light actually ignored Yang Mei, passed right through the Supernatural Powers of space he had casually set up, and appeared directly before Tongtian, confirming its target before diving straight into his Primordial Spirit Sea of Consciousness!

The saints were shocked!

Yang Mei, a mighty figure at the Peak Dao Integration Realm, had actually failed!

How could this be?!

Taishang, Yuanshi, and Nuwa were particularly astonished, and a sense of hope inexplicably sprouted within them.

Could there be a mighty figure whose spellcasting was actually capable of surpassing Yang Mei?

Could it be that Dao Ancestor Hongjun has finally made a move?!

After reading the message left for him by Senior Lin Dong of Penglai Immortal Island, Tongtian stood stunned for a moment.

He swept a glance at Great Immortal Yang Mei without changing his expression, and shook his head at the Three Saints of the Mystic Gate, "This is an opportunity of mine, but it is not Dao Ancestor Hongjun taking action."

The Three Saints of the Mystic Gate felt a chill in their hearts at once.

If it wasn't Dao Ancestor Hongjun, when exactly would he intervene?

Tongtian felt cold inside, never having imagined that the Great Immortal Yang Mei before him was actually...

It seemed he needed to be prepared!

Thinking of this, Tongtian moved imperceptibly in front of the Three Saints, keeping his eyes locked on the Immortal Slaying Sword Array!

The moment there was any change!

He would definitely strike at the very first opportunity!

Inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, the Yang Liu Daoist spoke to Duobao with great interest:

"My origins are exceptionally illustrious; I advise you, fellow Daoist, not to underestimate me."

"Even if you are a clone of a Sage, you cannot win against me!"

The eight immortals of Biyou Palace all changed color.

They could sense the immense self-confidence of the Yang Liu Daoist.

The Yang Liu Daoist truly believed he was merely stating a fact, without a shred of arrogance.

The Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace exchanged glances and immediately understood: they had encountered a formidable foe!

The Yang Liu Daoist kindly offered a reminder:

"Fellow Daoist Duobao, I suggest you either all attack together, or activate the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and attack together."

"Otherwise, I will have to send you to the list one by one, which is such a hassle!"

Hiss!

The various powerhouses of the Western Teachings went wild in an instant!

Even Lu Ya felt his blood boiling as he listened.

What is arrogance?

This is what you call arrogance!

Yet, the Yang Liu Daoist somehow gave off a feeling of being completely calm and detached.

Such arrogant words, when spoken by him, felt to the powerhouses of the Western Teachings as if they were saying they knew how to ride the clouds and mist.

Do they know how to ride the clouds and mist?

Of course they do!

Therefore, the Yang Liu Daoist would definitely send all the Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace to the list!

That was just how convincing he was!

The various powerhouses of the Eight Immortals of Chan Jiao felt much the same as those of the Western Teachings.

They truly believed that this Yang Liu Daoist would send the Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace to the list!

If the Eight Immortals of Biyou Palace were all going to be on the list, could they fare any better?

The Eight Immortals of Chan Jiao all turned pale!

Duobao smiled: "There is no need for that. The cultivation and Supernatural Powers of my seven junior sisters and brothers are similar to mine."

"As long as you can defeat me, it will count as you having broken the array!"

The Yang Liu Daoist was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "I admire you!"

For such a forthright character, the Yang Liu Daoist truly felt admiration!

Immediately after, his expression shifted: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will definitely send you to the list."

"However, you need not feel lonely; I will send your junior sisters and brothers, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, Zhao Gongming, and the Sanxiao, all to the list!"

Duobao's pupils constricted slightly.

He was not frightened by the words of the Yang Liu Daoist.

In his dictionary, there was no such word as fear!

At this very moment, a Thought-form suddenly appeared in Duobao's mind: "Who is this Yang Liu Daoist? How is he so familiar with the Eight Immortals of my Biyou Palace?!"

Just as Yuanshi believed, Duobao and Tongtian were completely different.

Tongtian rarely engaged in schemes; even when he expelled his inferior disciples, renounced his Saint status, and disbanded Jiejiao, those were not schemes.

Rather, it was Tongtian embodying the true essence of "Jie" (Intercept), seizing a glimmer of hope from a desperate situation.

Duobao was different; he possessed this talent!

A casual remark from the Yang Liu Daoist directly sparked suspicion in Duobao.

Why would this fellow be so familiar with their Biyou Palace?

If not for someone with ulterior motives, Who in the Primordial Era would pay attention to who the Eight Great Disciples of Biyou Palace were?

Their Biyou Palace was not as famous as the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Jiao.

Even among fellow disciples of the Mystic Gate, Chan Jiao could not name them all, so how could the Yang Liu Daoist name them all at once?

Duobao buried this suspicion deep in his heart.

Now, only one thing was needed:

Beat the Yang Liu Daoist to a pulp, and he would know exactly what kind of sacred entity he truly was!

Duobao smiled, "Since you are so confident, fellow Daoist, let us have a bout!"

The Yang Liu Daoist replied gladly, "Excellent!"

The Golden Wheel of Merit behind Duobao's head rotated, His body suddenly grew a size larger, muscles knotting and bulging, with blue veins covering his fists.

Duobao looked at his own fists, "Your law, fellow Daoist, is the Space Great Dao, while mine is the Great Dao of Strength."

"A clash between two of the Five Supreme Laws is truly something to look forward to!"

The Yang Liu Daoist laughed aloud, "No need to look forward to it; I shall send you to the list!"

With a wave of his hand, He threw a punch, and endless space took form.

These spaces were layered upon one another, boundless and infinite.

All of them were attached to the Yang Liu Daoist's fist!

As the punch was thrown, a vacuum was created, The four disasters of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, Along with all killing intent and murderous aura, vanished completely.

Even the space within the Immortal Slaying Sword Array seemed to become unstable...

Zhao Gongming was not wrong, This Yang Liu Daoist's Space Great Dao was even above his own!

The powerful beings inside the grand formation were all experts who knew their stuff, The Yang Liu Daoist's seemingly plain and simple punch filled them with joy and admiration.

The sense of dejection from being suppressed by Duobao earlier was swept away.

The Yang Liu Daoist was indeed a peerless expert; he truly was not boasting!

Jinling and the others wore grave expressions; as Peak Quasi-Saints, they saw much more.

The boundless space attached to the Yang Liu Daoist's fist was ready to explode at any moment!

In this way, the power of that punch could be further compounded.

The destructive force released would increase exponentially.

Although that fellow's words were arrogant, he really had some skills; he wasn't just blowing hot air!

However...

A hint of a smile appeared in the eyes of Jinling and the others. Competing in fisticuffs with their Senior Brother?

That was just asking for a beating!

Duobao let out a long whistle, laughing as he threw a punch.

His fist was plain and simple, far less exaggerated than that of the Yang Liu Daoist.

A punch was just a punch, carrying no other laws.

The corner of the Yang Liu Daoist's mouth curled in mockery.

At the moment the two fists collided, boundless and infinite space shattered with a roar!

Infinite energy surged toward Duobao!

The cheers from the cultivators of the Western Teachings grew even louder!

The Golden Immortals of Chan Jiao turned as pale as paper!

Duobao's expression remained unchanged, and he still struck out with that punch steadily!

With a single punch thrown, regardless of any endless space-time storms, everything was swept away.

Terrifying power erupted from Duobao's fist, BOOM!

It slammed heavily into the fist of Yang Liu Daoist!

Yang Liu Daoist's expression changed instantly!

He retreated several steps abruptly, his face having completely shifted!

Yang Liu Daoist examined Duobao seriously, and with a blank expression, he spat out a few names: "Pangu True Body, Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Great Dao of Strength!"

Duobao smiled slightly: "You flatter me!"

The cheers from the great powers of the Western Teachings came to an abrupt halt!

How could such a ferocious punch from Yang Liu Daoist fail to cause any damage to Duobao?

Is there no justice in this world?!

Lu Ya's heart began to pound wildly!

He trembled all over, involuntarily repeating that set of names: "Pangu True Body, Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, Great Dao of Strength..."

A look of deep-seated hatred appeared on Lu Ya's face: "Ancestral Witches!!"

These were the signature techniques of the Ancestral Witch clan!

But in reality, not a single one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had ever been able to cultivate all three of these simultaneously!

Lu Ya couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This is cheating!"

The Pangu True Body was the supreme physical form that could only be summoned when the Twelve Ancestral Witches formed the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Great Array.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique had always been the secret body-tempering art of the Ancestral Witches.

But the Great Dao of Strength... which of the Ancestral Witches had ever mastered that?

They relied purely on instincts engraved deep within their souls to cultivate.

He never imagined that the head disciple of Biyou Palace, Duobao, would actually combine all three!

Yang Liu Daoist's eyes flashed with strange light.

In truth, there was someone in the Primordial Era who could combine these three, but she was not a Quasi-Saint; she was Empress Pingxin of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But she was a Sage!

Yet what about Duobao?

He was merely a Quasi-Saint!

Yang Liu Daoist took a deep breath; sending Duobao to the Investiture list would not be an easy task.

It was fortunate that he had spoken so boldly earlier!

Duobao still had seven junior brothers and sisters; if their cultivation levels were all like Duobao's, this battle would be long and drawn out indeed!

Duobao withdrew his fist and looked at Yang Liu Daoist with appreciation: "It was truly satisfying that you could take my punch, fellow Daoist!"

"Although I do not know your origins, I imagine you are an extraordinary great power!"

"Since that is the case, I shall use my full strength to send you to the list!"

Huh?

Yang Liu Daoist thought he was suffering from auditory hallucinations!

You still want to send me to the list?

Are you mistaken?

He was so angry he laughed: "I would like to see how you intend to send me to the list!"

Duobao said earnestly:

"Earlier, when fighting against the members of the Western Teachings, because there was a gap in our cultivation levels, I did not reveal my Dharma treasures."

"After exchanging one move with you just now, I realized that if we were to truly decide the victor, it would likely take millions of years."

"That is too long; let us speed things up a little!"

Great Immortal Yang Mei was infuriated by the logic of Duobao.

"And so, you intend to send me to the list in a short amount of time?"

Duobao became even more earnest.

"That is correct!"

He was exceptionally candid.

"I possess a treasure bestowed upon me by a supreme mighty figure."

"The power of this treasure is so immense that I can only unleash it once."

"As long as you can dodge it, Fellow Daoist, then I shall surely be defeated!"

"But if you cannot dodge it, be careful not to be reduced to ashes!"

Great Immortal Yang Mei was even less inclined to believe him.

Although he did not possess the innate Supernatural Powers of his true self, Yang Liu Daoist, to store ten thousand treasures, he truly did not believe there was any Dharma treasure in the Primordial Era that could harm him—the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner were both in the hands of his true self!

Duobao did not explain; he tapped his head, and a chisel flew out from his primordial spirit.

This chisel was a mysterious yellow color, dusty and hazy, appearing completely unremarkable.

Great Immortal Yang Mei, however, felt his pupils constrict.

He actually sensed a scent of death emanating from this chisel!

Duobao said leisurely, "In the past, when Great God Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, many legends were passed down."

"The supreme mighty figure who bestowed this chisel upon me told me,"

"Among all the legends, one is quite interesting."

"When Great God Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods obstructed his path, and the Great Dao, sensing this, sent down a chisel."

"Great God Pangu used it to slay the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods."

"This is the Earth Splitting Chisel!"

"This supreme mighty figure refined this Dharma treasure based on that legend,"

Duobao said with a chuckle, "Please, Fellow Daoist, savor it well!"

Outside the great array, the two long eyebrows of Great Immortal Yang Mei were shocked to the point of flying upward, his voice sounding quite exasperated: "A Chaos Spirit Treasure!!"

The Three Saints of the Mystic Gate and the Two Sages of the West were all taken aback simultaneously.

Yuanshi retorted without the slightest bit of courtesy:

"Great Immortal, there must be a bottom line even when speaking nonsense!"

"Chaos Spirit Treasures are naturally formed, and all the Sages know there are only four in total!"

"The Chaos Green Lotus, the Pangu Sky-Opening Axe, the Jade Plate of Creation, and the Chaos Bead."

"Tell me, what kind of Chaos Wave is this so-called Earth Splitting Chisel in the hands of my Martial Nephew Duobao?"

Even though Yang Mei was a mighty figure at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm, Yuanshi dared to refute him.

He was being quite blunt!

Yuanshi was a wise man; when Yang Mei claimed the Earth Splitting Chisel in Duobao's hands was a Chaos Spirit Treasure, he felt something was wrong!

It was not that he felt the treasure in Duobao's hands was wrong!

The origin of the Earth Splitting Chisel had already been clearly explained by Duobao; it was bestowed upon him by a reclusive existence within the Primordial Era.

Although its appearance was a bit strange and its power might be a bit great, anyone claiming it was a Chaos Spirit Treasure was simply telling a lie with their eyes open!

Yuanshi admired Duobao greatly and already viewed him as the next-generation leader of the Mystic Gate.

Coupled with the excellent performance of the Mystic Gate disciples within the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, he wanted to use all his wisdom to escort and protect Duobao—at the very least, he would not let anyone harass him.

Unlike the other Sages, Yuanshi thought the absolute worst of this so-called Great Immortal Yang Mei!

Therefore, when Great Immortal Yang Mei claimed Duobao's Earth Splitting Chisel was some Chaos Spirit Treasure, he was immediately rebuffed by Yuanshi!

Yuanshi sneered: "The Earth Splitting Chisel in Duobao's hands is a Chaos Spirit Treasure? Ask the Sages present, who would believe that?"

"Great Immortal, you wouldn't be planning to take action yourself, would you?"

"You are, after all, the Western Dao Ancestor, a mighty figure of the Dao Integration Realm..."

"We must have a bottom line!"

Taishang and Nuwa were filled with righteous indignation, while Tongtian secretly held back his laughter. The three great beings shouted in unison: "Excellent!"

Yang Mei nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood from sheer frustration!

What was the meaning of this?

This wasn't just doubting his judgment; it was doubting his character!

Did they really think his character was as poor as those two Sages from the West?

Preposterous!

Yang Mei cast an inadvertent glance and saw the two Western Sages revealing "I understand" smiles.

He wished he could slap those two Sages into the ground with a single palm!
