Duobao Sacrifices the Earth Splitting Chisel to Slay a Quasi-Saint

He had never intended to activate the Immortal Slaying Sword Array.

This was certainly due to the ruthless schemes of Duobao, who wanted to shatter the Dao Heart of the first generation of disciples of the Western Teachings in a single battle.

But conversely, was it not also a sign of Duobao's immense confidence in himself?

He felt that the strength he had displayed was sufficiently ferocious, which was why he acted in such a manner.

Even when facing Minghe, one of the three top Quasi-Saints of the Primordial Era, Duobao had not revealed any magic treasures.

None of the cultivators of the Western Teachings believed that Duobao lacked magic treasures.

Tongtian's Jiejiao had always been famous for its abundance of treasures, far wealthier than the other two of the Three Pure Ones, as well as Nuwa and the Two Sages of the West.

Almost all of the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Western Teachings had defected from Jiejiao, so they were well aware of this fact.

As Duobao, who had never used a magic treasure, revealed the one in his hand, the crowd of cultivators could not help but recall the phrase: "Divine objects conceal their own brilliance!"

The more they looked, the more this treasure seemed to fit that description!

Yang Liu Daoist wore a grave expression; he had clearly received real-time information from Great Immortal Yang Mei.

He asked earnestly: "Fellow Daoist, is what you hold in your hand the Chaos Spirit Treasure, the Earth Splitting Chisel?"

After saying this, he shook his head himself.

The origin of the Earth Splitting Chisel was already quite clear.

After the creation of the world, it transformed into the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, the most ferocious formation under the Heavenly Dao.

They were currently inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Array.

Yang Liu Daoist felt a bit terrified; the very ground he was stepping on was formed from the corpses of the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods!

How could the Earth Splitting Chisel in Duobao's hand be the original version held by the great Pangu?

Yang Liu Daoist even felt a sense of resentment toward his true self.

The message passed over was nonsensical, making him nervous for no reason—what an unfilial act!

The change in the timeline at the source had clearly only begun today, so why did he ask Duobao about this?

It wasn't as if this treasure was refined by him, and he could...

Wait!

Yang Liu Daoist suddenly realized something was wrong!

What did Duobao just say?

He had met a powerful being who, seeing that they were fated, bestowed upon him a magic treasure.

It was said that when the great Pangu created the world, the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods descended to obstruct the path, and the great god killed them with the Earth Splitting Chisel!

And the Earth Splitting Chisel in Duobao's hand was one that this powerful being had refined based on this legend!

Yang Liu Daoist was struck with horror.

The timeline had clearly only changed just now.

How could the powerful being Duobao spoke of have known?

What kind of cultivation level must this being have to perceive the change in the timeline ahead of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Great Immortal Yang Mei, and all the Sages!

One must know that the great Pangu originally did not possess such a treasure.

Mortals might have all sorts of legends, but all cultivators understood that the great Pangu creating the world was not a legend, but a fact!

As a great cultivator, one naturally could not fabricate things at will.

One could only make reasonable inferences based on facts.

The Primordial Era was governed by the Heavenly Dao.

To casually fabricate stories about Pangu...

What was the intention behind this?!

Yet, the powerful being Duobao spoke of had actually known about this matter in advance.

How could Yang Liu Daoist not be shocked?!

Yang Liu Daoist asked solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Duobao, where does this powerful being you speak of reside? May this poor Daoist pay a visit?"

A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Duobao's mouth!

"I cannot tell you the name of this powerful being; if you are fated to meet him, you will naturally see him."

"If there is no fate, you cannot force it even if you try."

"Even if your background is heaven-shaking and earth-shattering, besides inviting trouble and disaster, you will gain absolutely nothing!"

"Fellow Daoist, it is better to just follow fate!"

Duobao paused for a moment, then spoke again, "I think, Fellow Daoist, you are likely without fate."

"I shall now send you to the list... or to your demise!"

Yang Liu Daoist sneered coldly.

He admitted that if the object in Duobao's hand were truly the legendary Earth Splitting Chisel, he would run as far away as he could immediately.

But, it was clearly not!

The real Earth Splitting Chisel had long ago transformed into the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, and all of them, as cultivators, were currently inside the space created by that very array!

Would he, a peak Quasi-Saint avatar of the dignified Great Immortal Yang Mei, be afraid of a mere Lingbao?

What a joke?!

Duobao smiled slightly and tossed the Earth Splitting Chisel into the air.

His entire body's magic power surged wildly, pouring into the Earth Splitting Chisel.

He held nothing back!

He could not afford to hold back.

Although this magic treasure had been refined by him for thousands of years!

The grade of the Earth Splitting Chisel was too high; Duobao usually would not operate it like this.

But when facing Yang Liu Daoist, Duobao decisively brought it out.

Ever since Yang Liu Daoist appeared, Duobao's primordial spirit had been throbbing incessantly.

A premonition, a warning from his primordial spirit!

An enemy the likes of which he had never seen before!

Even though there were many restrictions on using the Earth Splitting Chisel!

When it was time to use it, Duobao did so without hesitation!

Duobao remained calm, his voice devoid of the slightest fluctuation: "Fellow Daoist, please be on your way!"

The Earth Splitting Chisel suddenly shot out a beam of light that locked onto Yang Liu Daoist.

Yang Liu Daoist's expression changed drastically!

He had wanted to dodge just now!

He had even set up countless layers of space in a single thought.

Though he appeared to be standing in place, he was already hidden behind layers of space.

But it was useless!

The Earth Splitting Chisel opposite him directly traversed countless time and space, finding his true form.

What terrified Yang Liu Daoist even more was that

the time and space surrounding him were completely imprisoned and suppressed, and even his Karma and destiny were judged!

All his Supernatural Powers and techniques could not even be used in the face of such supreme pressure.

Yang Liu Daoist had a terrifying intuition—he was going to die!

At this moment of life and death, he opened his mouth and screamed: "Main body, save me!"

The voice was shrill, causing the Ten Thousand Immortals within the array to change color in shock!

It was already too late!

The Earth Splitting Chisel flashed forward like lightning and struck Yang Liu Daoist with a light tap!

In an instant, the peak Quasi-Saint Yang Liu Daoist had his primordial spirit shattered, transforming into a boundless willow tree.

The Earth Splitting Chisel struck once more, and the willow tree's body and primordial spirit turned into a stream of light, which was actually completely absorbed by the Earth Splitting Chisel!

The Earth Splitting Chisel spun around once and returned to Duobao's primordial spirit, refusing to come out.

Duobao was stunned.

He suddenly sensed an emotion emerging from his natal Lingbao: "Does such trash deserve my intervention?!"

Duobao was speechless and ashamed.

Is a peak Quasi-Saint considered trash?

It seemed that way in the eyes of the Earth Splitting Chisel!

However, it would take forever for him to defeat him on his own, so perhaps it would be faster to just use the Earth Splitting Chisel?

The interior of the great array was deathly silent.

The Ten Thousand Immortals of the Western Teachings were stunned with fear.

Boundless terror surged into their hearts.

From Lu Ya on down, every single cultivator believed that Duobao was an invincible demon god!

Their confidence had completely collapsed!

The group of Golden Immortals from Chan Jiao collectively gasped in shock.

Duobao actually possessed such a trump card!

The power of the Yang Liu Daoist was deeply etched into the depths of their hearts.

With a wave of his hand, countless spaces were formed; with a single thought, infinite space storms were unleashed.

If it had been them, they would have long since been reduced to dust.

Yet, such a terrifying mighty figure had been killed by Duobao with a mere flick of his wrist!

That magic treasure had even absorbed the primordial spirit and physical body of the Yang Liu Daoist!

It didn't even leave the Yang Liu Daoist a chance at reincarnation.

Terrifying to this extent!

Duobao was truly the number one among the disciples of the Mystic Gate!

The immortals of Chan Jiao were thoroughly convinced!

Duobao did not seem as if he had just resolved a great enemy.

He said with extreme indifference, "Fellow Daoist Lu Ya, and fellow daoists of the Western Teachings, who else wishes to offer their guidance?"

The Western Teachings were plunged into silence!

A feeling known as despair shrouded their hearts.

Duobao was in no rush; he wore a smile, quietly waiting for the response of the Western Teachings' disciples.

Time was on the side of the Mystic Gate.

No matter how long it took, he could afford to wait!

But he did not know that because of his actions, a chaotic battle among the Sages had begun!

Great Immortal Yang Mei truly had not expected such an outcome!

His face burned with a stinging pain!

It was the heat of shame!

His boastful words from just a moment ago still echoed in his ears, yet he never expected that he would be so easily erased by Duobao!

It was cruel to the extreme!

Without a second thought, Yang Mei threw out two more willow trees!

Even though the Four Saints of the Mystic Gate wanted to stop him, this was a move by a peak Dao Integration Realm mighty figure; how could they possibly block it?

Just as they were shocked and furious!

They witnessed a scene that left them dumbfounded.

The two willow trees thrown by Yang Mei were actually bounced back!

These willow trees, at the level of First Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Realm Sages, were actually bounced back!!

Clearly, Yang Mei had just thrown in a willow tree avatar at the peak Quasi-Saint realm, yet these avatars with even higher cultivation levels could not be thrown in!

The Four Saints of the Mystic Gate looked at Yang Mei with strange expressions; what exactly was this Great Immortal trying to do?

Yang Mei was also stunned!

This couldn't be possible, right?

He hardened his heart and threw out a peak Quasi-Saint level avatar, a First Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Realm avatar, and a Second Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Realm avatar!

The Four Saints of the Mystic Gate were enraged; once was not enough, and you want to try a second time?

The four Sages moved to block him in unison.

But Yang Mei was a Dao Ancestor who controlled the Space Great Dao.

His mastery of the Space Law was truly divine, and they were simply unable to resist him.

In an instant, the three avatars bypassed the defenses of the Four Saints and charged straight toward the Immortal Slaying Sword Array!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three loud thuds left the group of Sages dumbfounded!

The Four Saints of the Mystic Gate were completely unable to fathom the actions of Great Immortal Yang Mei.

What exactly are you trying to do?

There should be a limit to acting!

This kind of inconsistency is very damaging to one's reputation!

Even the Two Sages of the West believed that Yang Mei was putting on a show!

Otherwise, how could such a bizarre thing happen?

Clearly, he had already sent the Yang Liu Daoist into the Immortal Slaying Sword Array just moments ago.

But now... even a clone at the level of a Sage couldn't enter!

Isn't this a joke?!

Great Immortal Yang Mei felt his scalp tingle in shock!

"The timeline has shifted!"

"The legend of the Earth Splitting Chisel has come true!!"

"It actually happened just a moment ago!"

Yang Mei ignored the strange gazes of the Sages.

He actually stood there, palms upright, observing the patterns and calculating.

The more he calculated, the uglier Yang Mei's expression became.

In the end, he stared fiercely at the Immortal Slaying Sword Array: "The Earth Splitting Chisel actually absorbed the primordial spirits and essence blood of the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods to transform into this array!"

At the same time, he realized that his Quasi-Saint clone had been completely annihilated.

There was not even the slightest chance of resurrection!

Yang Mei frowned, looking at the great array before him.

He never imagined that the Earth Splitting Chisel of the great Pangu would transform into such an array.

This meant that it was the magic treasure with the highest status in the Primordial Era!

It must be seized!

Yuanshi felt a jolt in his heart and shouted sternly: "Yang Mei, what are you trying to do?"

He had never considered Yang Mei a good person!

Regarding the abruptly appearing Yang Mei, who also shared a great Karma with their Mystic Gate, Yuanshi always speculated about him with the greatest malice.

The moment Yang Mei's expression shifted, he noticed it immediately.

Yang Mei said indifferently, "This Immortal Slaying Sword Array is fated with me; I intend to claim it!"

The expressions of the Sages of the Mystic Gate changed, and they cursed in their hearts simultaneously: "Shameless!"

This style was truly Western in nature!

Just as Yuanshi was about to speak, Tongtian suddenly stood in front of him.

Yuanshi was confused by his intent, only to hear Tongtian laugh:

"The Dao Ancestor keeps saying that Dao Ancestor Hongjun owes you Karma."

"Since the gates of Zixiao Palace were not tightly shut, why does the Dao Ancestor not go to Zixiao Palace to discuss the Dao with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and resolve this Karma?"

"Why insist on coming to the Investiture of the Gods Battlefield to participate in the battles of us juniors?"

"Surely the Dao Ancestor's stature isn't so small, is it?"

Hm?!

The Three Saints of the Mystic Gate were stunned at once.

What was Tongtian doing?

Yang Mei raised his white eyebrows: "Tongtian, what are you trying to say?"

Tongtian smiled, "The Dao Ancestor didn't even blink when seizing the Dao-Protecting Divine Weapons of us Sages of the Mystic Gate,"

"Yet now, you show greed when facing a mere Immortal Slaying Sword Array... this doesn't fit the Dao Ancestor's persona."

"Could it be that there was some other variable just now?"

Yang Mei's brows furrowed!

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart!

Could this fellow Tongtian have figured something out?

How exactly does Dao Ancestor Hongjun teach his disciples?

Tongtian spoke slowly:

"Just now, the Dao Ancestor clearly sent in a peak Quasi-Saint clone. We won't even mention the wager; it is obvious the Dao Ancestor has no intention of honoring it."

"With Dao Ancestor Hongjun not manifesting his holy presence in the mortal realm, it is practically impossible for us to stop you!"

"But what I find strange is, why were the subsequent clones the Dao Ancestor sent in unable to enter?"

"Could it be that this Immortal Slaying Sword Array involves some kind of Karma?"

Great Immortal Yang Mei's expression changed drastically. He cursed inwardly, realizing that Tongtian had found out after all!

Yuanshi immediately raised his palm to observe the patterns of fate, and the other Sages followed suit, even the two Sages from the West doing the same.

The Sages stared at the Immortal Slaying Sword Array behind them in shock.

Their expressions were incredibly vivid!

Yuanshi took a deep breath: "The Chaos Spirit Treasure, Earth Splitting Chisel!"

"This Immortal Slaying Sword Array was actually transformed from the Earth Splitting Chisel absorbing the primordial spirit essence and blood of the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods!"

Yuanshi could not believe it.

"This Immortal Slaying Sword Array is actually a Chaos Spirit Treasure!"

But this was completely different from the Immortal Slaying Sword Array they had known before!

"How could this be?!"

Yuanshi shouted: "Senior Brother Taishang, Junior Sister Nuwa, lend me a hand!"

Taishang and Nuwa stepped forward in response.

The three Sages joined forces and immediately calculated the cause and effect.

Yuanshi's voice trembled.

"The timeline at the source of the Primordial Era has changed. Pangu's companion spirit treasures included not only the Heaven Opening Axe but also the Earth Splitting Chisel."

"So that's how it is!"

Great Immortal Yang Mei's face turned black.

He cursed Hongjun in his heart:

"How do you teach your disciples? They are getting sharper one after another!"

He had originally intended to keep this matter under wraps.

Yet he never expected that, with just a few actions, the Sages would see the clues. Tongtian took the lead, and Yuanshi immediately deduced seven or eight parts of the truth.

Yuanshi laughed loudly: "Dao Ancestor Yang Mei, are you trying to claim the Chaos Spirit Treasure for yourself?"

"Unfortunately, it is now the treasure guarding Biyou Palace, controlled by Martial Nephew Duobao!"

"Even if we wanted to enter, we would have to obtain permission from Martial Nephew Duobao first!"

Yuanshi felt quite satisfied!

He had wanted to punch Yang Mei for his arrogance earlier.

However, the gap in cultivation between the two sides was too vast.

Yuanshi couldn't handle him!

Now, seeing Yang Mei suffer a setback, he couldn't be happier!

Yang Mei sneered.

"If my Quasi-Saint and Heavenly Dao Realm Sage-level clones cannot enter, do you think my true form cannot enter either?"

Yang Mei's face changed as he barked sharply, "Get out of my way, all of you! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving Hongjun face; I will have to suppress you for several epochs!"

After saying this, Yang Mei expected the Sages to be sensible.

To his surprise, the Four Saints of the Mystic Gate all smiled in unison.

It was a mocking smile.

Taishang said slowly: "We are Sages of the East, and our disciples are inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Array. How could we retreat?"

Yuanshi remained silent; Taishang's opinion was his own.

Nuwa sneered: "When have the Sages of the Mystic Gate ever retreated?!"

Tongtian laughed even more.

"This Immortal Slaying Sword Array is the treasure of my Biyou Palace. You have come to our door to snatch our treasure; how could we possibly allow it?"

Yang Mei sneered, "The three of you Sages combined aren't even worth one of my hands. You'd best retreat!"

As he spoke, he flicked his hand.

Boundless spatial storms manifested, arriving silently before the three Sages.

By the time the three Sages reacted, the spatial storms erupted violently.

In an instant, the three Sages were sent flying far away.

Each realm is a world unto itself.

Yang Mei was a supreme expert at the peak of the He Daojing, his cultivation far surpassing theirs by an immeasurable margin.
