Sage Position, I Want None of It!

"Tongtian, what you did today was indeed going too far."

Laozi stared at Tongtian with a calm expression, wisps of pressure surrounding him.

"If the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is all you have, then I advise you not to be so arrogant. Breaking it would be as easy as lifting a hand," Yuanshi said coldly.

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation indeed possessed extraordinary power, unbreakable by any but the Four Sages.

However, the Four Sages were already present here!

"Oh? What if you add this to it?"

"Who among you can defeat me?!"

Tongtian decisively unleashed the God-Slaying Spear, and a terrifying aura surged forth, like a Demon God roaring in his mind.

"The God-Slaying Spear!"

At this moment, the faces of the Four Sages turned pale, and they trembled.

Outside Golden Ao Island, the winds and clouds surged!

All four Sages were shocked by the God-Slaying Spear Tongtian had unleashed!

The God-Slaying Spear! This was a Primordial Innate Supreme Treasure!

It was even superior to the Pangu Banner and the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords Formation combined.

"The God-Slaying Spear disappeared with Luohu's fall. So it ended up in Junior Brother's hands. Junior Brother truly has incredible luck!" Yuanshi gritted his teeth and said enviously. No wonder Tongtian dared to be so arrogant! It turned out he possessed a Primordial Innate Supreme Treasure!

Zhunti and Jieyin's faces turned ashen. They were already no match for just the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and with the addition of the God-Slaying Spear, it was even more hopeless.

Taishang frowned, his gaze gloomy, contemplating how to respond. With the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the God-Slaying Spear, even five Sages might not be able to defeat Tongtian.

Tongtian wielded the God-Slaying Spear, the sounds of its roars and the clash of sword qi echoing through the sky. He possessed an indomitable momentum, and one could even feel the God-Slaying Spear's excitement! It was the thrill of making a grand entrance after its emergence!

"Didn't you say you were going to teach me a lesson and force me to sign the Investiture of the Gods?" Tongtian said mockingly, his tone dismissive. "Come on, let me test your strength!"

"Boom! ... Bang! ..."

The God-Slaying Spear seemed to respond to Tongtian, its continuous roars impacting the minds of the Four Sages!

What should we do?

Watching the incredibly arrogant Tongtian, Yuanshi wished he could immediately crush his pride. Despite his heart filled with anger towards Tongtian, he was too apprehensive to make a move. Yuanshi turned his gaze to Taishang, instigating, "Senior Brother, are you just going to stand by and watch Tongtian act so arrogantly?"

Taishang's expression remained unchanged, offering no response. Speaking now would be foolish.

"Tongtian, do you truly intend to attack us, your fellow disciples, without regard for our relationship?" Yuanshi stared at Tongtian, his face full of anger.

"Hehehe, do you have a brother like that?"

"Attack! We will definitely fight today!" With that, Tongtian unleashed a monstrous aura, like a fierce tiger ready to pounce at any moment! Tongtian's confidence soared; he feared no battle. Even if he couldn't defeat the Four Sages, it would be enough.

Boom!

The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation unleashed waves of sharp sword qi, capable of severing all things. The God-Slaying Spear radiated dazzling divine light, its ancient roars rippling like waves, shaking the void.

"The Great Tribulation is approaching. How can you Sages engage in battle and deplete your strength!"

"With the Great Tribulation upon us, the matter of the Investiture of the Gods can be discussed later."

Just then, a burly old Daoist slowly appeared before Yuanshi and the other two Sages. Although the old Daoist exuded no pressure, he gave off a sense of vastness akin to the universe. This person was Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, the strongest among all the Sages.

"The Dao Ancestor has also arrived!" The disciples on the island were all shocked. The mere Investiture of the Gods had drawn such a powerful figure. Looking at the Dao Ancestor who had arrived late, Tongtian sneered inwardly. Hongjun hadn't appeared when the Four Sages were pressuring him, but he showed up when the tables were turned and the Four Sages were being pressured.

Hongjun's intention was also to have Tongtian sign the Investiture of the Gods.

Hongjun's appearance gave the Four Sages an excuse to back down.

"Since the Dao Ancestor has intervened, let's cease hostilities."

"However, if you expect me to join the Investiture of the Gods afterward, it's still impossible!"

Tongtian said forcefully, then recalled the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Chaos God Bell.

Tongtian was not yet a match for Hongjun in combat.

Facing the still unyielding Tongtian, the three Sages' expressions turned as dark as water, but they could only suppress their anger.

Seeing that the battle had paused, Hongjun said lightly, "The Great Tribulation is the will of the Heavenly Dao; no Saint can change it."

"During the Great Tribulation, disciples below the Saint level cannot escape disaster. Only by signing the Investiture of the Gods can they gain a sliver of hope!"

After hearing this, the faces of all the Sages became solemn.

Saints themselves might not enter the Great Tribulation, but they could still interfere with it!

"Junior Brother Tongtian, you cannot avoid this Great Tribulation."

"Moreover, with your Intercepting Sect having so many disciples, how can they gain a chance of survival if they don't enter the Investiture of the Gods?"

Seeing Hongjun speak, Yuanshi shamelessly began to persuade Tongtian.

"Look at your disciples; how can you bear not to have them enter the Investiture of the Gods?"

Jieyin and Zhunti feigned earnestness and chimed in.

If the direct approach didn't work, they would try a softer one.

Seeing their despicable faces, Tongtian scoffed, "The Great Tribulation of the Primordial World is unavoidable, and the Intercepting Sect should indeed seize opportunities for survival!"

"However, hehehe, why don't you yourselves join this excellent Investiture of the Gods?!"

The assembled Saints were greatly shaken!

Was Tongtian prepared to remain stubborn to the end?

Would he truly disregard the lives of his disciples?

The faces of the Four Sages turned very grim.

Under the Great Tribulation, if the disciples of the Intercepting Sect did not join, their own disciples would be the ones to suffer.

For this reason, they looked to Hongjun, seeking his help.

Hongjun was the true orchestrator of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, so the decision naturally fell to him.

"If you don't sign, then let fate decide their lives!"

"Anyone who perishes during the Great Tribulation will be automatically recorded by the Investiture of the Gods."

Hongjun said indifferently, his expression calm.

"The Great Tribulation is imminent; may you all look after yourselves!"

With that, Hongjun's figure vanished into the void.

"You are truly brimming with confidence! Heh, with the Investiture of the Gods, at least your disciples can have a lingering hope, can't they?"

Zhunti said sarcastically, his tone unfriendly.

Tongtian looked disdainfully at Zhunti and said, "Hongjun has left. Do you all intend to spar with me for a few rounds?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Saints turned even more unpleasant.

They were all hypocrites!

Tongtian felt utterly weary of speaking with these hypocrites and prepared to return to Biyou Palace.

The Four Sages also prepared to leave. Before departing, Yuanshi sneered with a displeased expression, "As Heavenly Dao Saints, we cannot act against the Heavenly Dao."

Yuanshi was undoubtedly mocking Tongtian for committing an act of rebellion.

"Hahaha, Heavenly Dao Saints? How laughable!"

"I don't need this Sage position!"

With that, Tongtian vanished.

The Four Sages exchanged glances, their faces filled with stunned disbelief.
