The Four Saints' Defeat Before the Immortal Slaying Formation
Cihang has developed feelings for this land.
He wouldn't watch the Primordial World truly decline.
But that doesn't mean he'll act without preparation.
A catastrophe is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity.
After arranging everything at Mount Luojia, Cihang and Luohu headed towards the East Victory Divine Continent together.
Both of them had reached Primordial World pinnacle of their primordial power, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in the East Victory Divine Continent.
Compared to the South Continent, the East Victory Divine Continent is the center of the Primordial World and gathers more Calamity Qi.
Every living being here is affected by the Calamity Qi.
Even if they haven't yet fallen into demonic possession, they are all irritable and easily angered.
Fighting was a common occurrence.
It's not just battles between cultivators; the same applies to mortals.
The rise and fall of many forces can happen in the blink of an eye.
In addition, Cihang also saw those busy figures, all working hard for the stability of this Primordial World.
Nuwa also exhausted all her strength in this calamity.
Of course, the benefits are also obvious: while the other Five Saints were fighting each other, only Nuwa, the Heavenly Dao Sage, was doing her best to save the common people.
Although Houtu and Zhenyuanzi are both protecting the world, their actions do not conflict with Nuwa's.
Nuwa's prestige and the faith she inspires are growing at an alarming rate.
The aura emanating from its body became increasingly powerful and terrifying.
Cihang merged his mind with the heavens and earth, and could clearly see that the fluctuations of Human Dao were growing stronger, and there was a possibility that it would break through the suppression of the heavenly way at any time.
Furthermore, with Hongjun's restraint, the Heavenly Dao was powerless to prevent the great calamity from spiraling out of control.
This situation was not what Hongjun wanted to see.
However, because Human Dao was about to be restored, Hongjun ignored all of this.
The Primordial World is not what it used to be; it is not so easily destroyed.
As Human Dao recovers, the Primordial World will only grow stronger.
This cataclysmic event, caused by the Five Saints, ultimately benefited Nuwa.
Of course, these are not Cihang's main concerns.
His main focus was on Luohu beside him.
The Calamity Qi between heaven and earth originated from the great calamity of heaven and earth, but the pure demonic energy that can be seen everywhere originated from the hand of Luohu.
"Fellow Daoist's plan this time is quite ambitious; Cihang is deeply impressed!"
Cihang couldn't help but sigh.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Compared to me, you are in no way inferior!"
Luohu smiled, but did not become arrogant because of Cihang's flattery.
He was indeed fearless throughout the entire Primordial World, but the lotus flowers that bloomed everywhere were also descendants of Luohu.
Every place where demonic energy erupts is accompanied by a white lotus.
Everything is relative.
Cihang's Purification Divine Power restrains the Devil Dao, but the Devil Dao also possesses the power to counteract it.
The relative strength of the two depends solely on their individual capabilities.
Luohu absorbs the Karmic Debt resentment and hatred of all living beings to perfect his demonic Devil Dao, aiming to break through to the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Cihang is also using this great calamity to gain merit and good fortune.
The two are now chatting happily, but their underlying rivalry has never ceased.
Even so, the two could not be considered true enemies.
On the contrary, they gained even more from their mutual exchanges and verification.
They're all striving to break through and attain enlightenment; it's just a matter of who has the superior skill.
"Then let's see who takes that first step!"
Cihang smiled, but did not exchange pleasantries with Luohu.
"That's good, competition is what drives us!"
Luohu also showed an expression of agreement.
Neither Luohu nor Cihang doubted whether they could truly break through; now it was just a matter of who could take that first step.
The path to enlightenment is inherently solitary; having a close friend or a worthy opponent is a blessing.
"What a magnificent Immortal Slaying Sword! It truly deserves its reputation as the number one formation in the Primordial World."
In truth, this formation surpasses even the Great Array of All Heavens' Fiend Gods and the Star Dou Great Formation!
As they spoke, the two had already arrived above the Immortal-Slaying Formation.
Cihang also fought and debated with Tongtian, and even faced the Four Swords of Execution.
This was the first time I had ever seen the Immortal Slaying Sword unleash its full power.
Although he only glanced at it briefly, Cihang was certain that even if it were him, he would find it difficult to break through this formation.
Moreover, this is a weakened version of the Immortal Slaying Sword.
One can imagine how terrifying the Immortal Slaying Sword in Luohu's hands must be.
"This Tongtian is indeed quite capable, and lives up to the name of the Immortal Slaying Sword!"
A hint of admiration appeared in Luohu's eyes.
He had indeed underestimated Tongtian.
"The Dao Ancestor of the Zixiao Palace once said that the Immortal Slaying Sword could not be broken by any of the Four Saints. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
This formation cannot be broken without the combined efforts of the Four Saints.
However, Cihang believed that given the power the formation was currently displaying, it wouldn't be easy for Taiqing and the others to break it.
Cihang looked at Luohu. If it came to understanding the Immortal Slaying Sword, no one in the Primordial World could surpass Luohu.
"They can't break this formation. As for the final outcome, it depends on whether Tongtian can be ruthless enough!"
Luohu gave the answer very easily.
"So, with the Immortal Slaying Sword in hand, wouldn't Tongtian be invincible in the Primordial World?!"
Cihang was genuinely surprised.
"My Immortal Slaying Sword is naturally not that simple!"
A smug look appeared in Luohu's eyes.
To forge the Four Swords of Execution, Luohu used countless rare treasures from heaven and earth.
At their peak, each of the Four Swords of Execution was Primordial Supreme Treasure.
The combined formation of the four swords reached the limit that the Primordial World could withstand.
In that Dao-Devil War, he was defeated not so much by Hongjun, but by the Dao itself.
Unfortunately, after the four swords fell into Hongjun's hands, his original evil energy was extracted, causing all four swords to drop in grade.
That is why it was bestowed upon Tongtian.
While it is true that Hongjun and the Four Saints could break the Zhuxian Sword Formation, that was the original Immortal Slaying Sword.
Although Tongtian's understanding of the Immortal Slaying Sword was not as profound as Luohu's, he took a different approach, incorporating the Array Dao into it.
Although the current Immortal Slaying Sword is not as powerful as it was originally, it is still not something that the Four Saints can break.
That's why Luohu put aside his contempt for Tongtian.
After Luohu explained, Cihang finally understood the reason.
"It's a bit of a pity about the Sanqing and Jieyin and the others!"
Cihang sighed.
The Sanqing and Jieyin, among others, possessed top-tier aptitude and comprehension, even comparable to Cihang and Luohu.
They will suffer repeated setbacks because they are Heavenly Dao Sage.
When the Heavenly Dao completely controls the Primordial World, the Saint Position is an unparalleled opportunity.
But nowadays, the Saint Position is a constraint, a bottleneck that limits them.
"What's there to regret? It was their own choice, and they have to bear the consequences themselves!"
Luohu's expression grew increasingly cold, only revealing a hint of brilliance when he looked at the Immortal Slaying Sword.
As the two were talking, Taiqing and the others in the Sword Formation were finding it increasingly difficult.
As the power of the Sword Formation continued to increase, they gradually became disheveled.
The ever-draining magical power within them made it clear that breaking the formation this time was almost hopeless.
During the chase, the four gathered together, unleashed the Pangu Banner with all their might, cleaved open a space, and forcibly escaped the Sword Formation.
