The Four Saints fled the great formation in a disheveled state.

Without the suppression of the great formation, the Four Saints' cultivation instantly returned to its peak, and they were no longer in any disheveled state.

What came into view was the terrifying Karmic Debt and calamity.

"A cataclysmic event that shakes heaven and earth!"

It was just a battle with Tongtian, yet it triggered a great calamity, something none of them had anticipated.

"Indecisive!"

From a distance, Luohu watched this scene and sneered disdainfully.

The slightest bit of admiration they had for Tongtian had completely vanished.

As the former master of the Immortal Slaying Sword, he knew the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword best.

With the grand formation that Tongtian has set up at this moment, if he were to go all out, it would be enough to capture the Four Saints.

While it might not be possible to kill Four Saints in one fell swoop, killing one or two saints is entirely within one's capabilities.

Tongtian clearly held back, which allowed the Four Saints to gather together and have the opportunity to go into battle.

Regardless of Tongtian's motives, his temperament is unsuitable for the Immortal Slaying Sword.

His ability to unleash the Sword Formation's power was also due to his mastery of Array Dao techniques.

But that's all.

Tongtian could never fully control the Four Swords of Execution.

"Tongtian, do you still remember that you are Heavenly Dao Sage, and that protecting the Primordial World is your mission and responsibility?"

Now, because of his own selfish desires, he has triggered a catastrophe that threatens the world.

Don't you feel any remorse? Do you even deserve your position?

Taiqing demanded an explanation in a stern voice.

The current situation has exceeded his expectations.

Although Tongtian was the primary cause, they were also tainted by immense Karmic Debt.

Sages are not bound by Karma; these Karmic Debt are entirely transferred to their disciples.

"Tongtian, what you did today was indeed excessive."

"Hurry up and put away the great formation to avoid causing even greater disaster!"

Yuanshi also spoke up to offer advice.

Jieyin and Zhunti also suppressed their anger and began to offer words of advice.

The eruption of a cataclysmic event was something none of them wanted to see.

"You all think highly of me, Tongtian, but I, Tongtian, do not believe I have the power to trigger a great calamity."

As for making me back down, it's not that you can't, but as long as you all admit defeat, Tongtian can immediately withdraw the Immortal Slaying Sword.

And we will no longer hold grudges against what happened before!

Tongtian paid no attention to the four people's words, and had no intention of stopping.

As for admitting defeat, that's impossible.

Admitting defeat at this point would result in the loss of not only reputation, but also merit and good fortune.

"Tongtian, are you aware of the consequences of your actions?"

"Stop being so stubborn."

"Your Immortal Slaying Sword is powerful, but it is not truly unbreakable."

Stop now!

"If you continue like this, even the Heavenly Court may not tolerate you!"

Tongtian's refusal left everyone's faces grim.

In their eyes, Tongtian had almost become a demon and was completely disregarding any consequences.

"No need for further words, I've already made myself clear. The choice is yours!"

After speaking, Tongtian fell silent, but the Immortal Slaying Sword continued to emanate its powerful baleful aura.

As the Sword Formation continued to operate, its power grew stronger and stronger.

"Alright, since that's the case, I hope you won't regret your choice today!"

The group exchanged a glance, then simultaneously vanished from the spot.

It's simply impossible to get them to admit defeat.

If we admit defeat today, no one will be able to suppress Tongtian and the Interception Sect in the future.

Tongtian will also be above all of them.

No one can accept this result.

As for breaking through the formation, they were equally uncertain of victory.

Although they were eager to eliminate the hidden dangers, they still needed to carefully consider how to break the deadlock.

If we rashly enter the fray, the outcome will not be any better than this time.

Although they had been keeping an eye on Tongtian, they had not missed the gazes of those powerful figures.

But they didn't care about any of that at the moment; the outcome was still uncertain.

As long as they can break this great formation and suppress Tongtian, no one will dare to underestimate them.

After the Four Saints left, Tongtian let out a sigh from within the Immortal Slaying Sword.

But then, he became absolutely determined.

Although he spoke with great conviction before, he knew the truth himself.

He may not have meant it, but the outbreak of the Great Calamity was directly related to the Immortal Slaying Sword.

It's no exaggeration to say that he triggered the great calamity.

Compared to Taiqing Yuanshi, Tongtian was more aware of his current situation.

Originally, the Interception Sect did not have any supreme treasure to suppress its fortune; it only relied on the Ten Thousand Immortals Suppressing Fortune Array to suppress its fortune.

Now, under the erosion of Karmic Debt, the Suppressing Fortune Array is almost broken, and the immense fortune of the Interception Sect has become entangled with Karmic Debt.

Even with the Karmic Debt of creating the world, Tongtian was still terrified by the boundless karmic burden.

Under the erosion of Karmic Debt, even his once unshakeable Saint Position began to fluctuate and showed signs of instability.

Taiqing and Yuanshi did not speak recklessly; if he insisted on continuing, Heaven would not let him off the hook.

But he had no intention of stopping; instead, he was determined to go all in.

In the past, he would have immediately protected his fortune and merits, and held onto his position as a saint.

But now, he sees an opportunity to break free from the will of Heaven.

Tongtian envied Luohu and Cihang, envying their carefree lives and their limitless future.

The Saint Position him is nothing but a burden and a constraint.

It wasn't just him; Taiqing and the others probably shared the same thought.

But escaping the will of Heaven is not so easy.

The Heavenly Dao bestowed upon them supreme authority and power, but since their true spirits merged with the Heavenly Dao, they were also completely bound by it.

Saints are immortal and indestructible, but the will of Heaven can decide their life and death in a single thought.

Nuwa was the only exception; Nuwa was protected by the will Human Dao humanity, which is why she dared to defy the will of Heaven time and time again.

But they are different; if they have any thoughts of deviating from the Way of Heaven, they will be punished by Heaven immediately.

The outbreak of the Great Calamity has given Tongtian a glimmer of hope.

Under the great calamity, the power of the Heavenly Dao was infinitely weakened, while the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao checked and balanced each other.

At this moment, Heaven probably doesn't have the energy to deal with a mere sage like him.

Although it's not foolproof, he'd give it his all, even if there's only the slightest chance.

"Taiqing, Yuanshi, I hope you will not disappoint me!"

Tongtian gazed in the direction of Shouyang Mountain and murmured to himself.

At this moment, Tongtian felt no resentment or anger; compared to the Great Dao, everything else seemed so insignificant.

As for the Interception Sect, as long as he is still alive and his disciples are still around, he cannot be considered to have escaped its influence.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Tongtian continued to operate the Immortal Slaying Sword, drawing upon its power.

He knew that when the Four Saints entered the formation again, it wouldn't be so simple.

Although the Four Saints broke through the formation and escaped, the Primordial World did not return to peace, and conflicts were seen everywhere.

However, thanks to the intervention of Nuwa and Houtu, the Houtu Primordial World, though chaotic, is still within a controllable range.

And as they continued to protect heaven and earth, the boundless will of heaven and earth converged towards them.

The most obvious improvement is in strength.
