The Great Calamity at the Door!

Inside Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun had no choice but wait quietly for the calamity to arrive.

Meanwhile, inside Yuxu Palace.

At this moment, Yuanshi's face had completely returned to normal. With his anger suppressed, he was thinking about the Chan Sect.

The two incidents that had occurred in his Chan Sect during his last battle with Houtu had been far too coincidental!

Why had Houtu suddenly razed the Chan Sect to the ground?

Why had the Chan Sect disciples suddenly gone to slay members of the Witch Clan?

"My Chan Sect... was plotted against?"

Yuanshi finally came to his senses. Fury burned fiercely in his heart. No matter who it was, he would make that person pay a terrible price!

At that moment, Yuanshi immediately began calculating.

Although the great calamity had disrupted the heavenly secrets, the actions of a Saint could still be calculated if they had not concealed the heavenly secrets, because Saints were not within the calamity.

Before long, after Yuanshi continuously followed the clues, he finally discovered that Tongtian was behind all of this!

"How sinister!"

"He actually plotted against my Chan Sect like this!"

Boom!

A powerful Saint's might erupted. At that moment, Yuanshi's eyes were filled with hatred for Tongtian!

If he had not realized it later, he would never have discovered that Tongtian had plotted against him, causing him to suffer such humiliation!

"Tongtian, you deserve to die!"

"If you show me no mercy, don't blame me for returning the favor!"

Yuanshi thought with murderous fury. At the same time, he began considering how to plot against Tongtian in return.

He definitely could not confront Tongtian head-on.

If he went alone to settle accounts with Tongtian, he would merely be seeking humiliation. A single sword formation from Tongtian would already be enough to beat him black and blue.

As for the two fellows from the Western Teachings, they were useless as well. Those two were completely unreliable.

"If Senior Brother Taishang is willing to help me, perhaps we can suppress Tongtian!"

Yuanshi thought of a good plan, but then shook his head in disappointment.

How could his senior brother possibly help him? After all, he had only two disciples.

When the great calamity arrived, the Western Teachings and the Chan Sect would face far greater danger than his senior brother's Human Sect.

Moreover, with his senior brother's shrewdness, how could he possibly help him?

Thus, the idea of joining forces with Taishang was completely hopeless!

Besides, Tongtian had now reclaimed his Sage position. How could ordinary schemes possibly do anything to him?

"Sigh..."

Yuanshi let out a long sigh, then fell silent again.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

At this moment, the aura of the great calamity had grown even denser. It would arrive very soon!

At that moment, Tongtian had just opened his eyes after emerging from secluded cultivation. His eyes seemed to conceal countless sword intents resembling stars.

After ten years of seclusion, Tongtian had stabilized his cultivation at the fifth level.

Rumble!

Above the Thirty-three Heavens in the sky over the Primordial World, a heavy voice rang out from above. All the Saints in the Primordial World received his transmission.

"Proceed to Zixiao Palace at once to discuss matters concerning the great calamity!"

This was undoubtedly Hongjun summoning them.

Tongtian's face was completely calm. It seemed the great calamity had already arrived at his doorstep.

This great calamity...

Then he would simply watch and see who emerged victorious!

Whoosh!

Tongtian directly tore open space and vanished into it. The place he was heading to was none other than Zixiao Palace.

Inside Zixiao Palace at that moment.

The Saints tore through space and arrived there. Before long, all the Saints had gathered.

Yuanshi, Jieyin, Taishang, Zhunti, and Nuwa.

Everyone present was an old acquaintance of Tongtian's, but Tongtian did not say a word to them. He simply waited in silence.

At this moment, he was the only one who had not yet been entered into the Investiture of the Gods.

In other words, once the great calamity arrived, his Interception Sect disciples would face even greater danger!

After all, everyone else had already entered the Investiture of the Gods. Only the disciples of his Interception Sect had not.

When the time came, they would certainly be attacked by everyone together.

Fortunately, Tongtian had already made many preparations to deal with the great calamity.

Hongjun had not arrived yet, and the few Saints had nothing to say. An oppressive silence filled the hall.

The Two Western Saints both lowered their heads, secretly plotting something.

Taishang, meanwhile, wore an expression that said the matter had nothing to do with him.

Nuwa's face was equally expressionless. Like Taishang, she had only a few disciples, so she naturally did not fear the great calamity.

There was only one exception. Taishang was staring at Tongtian, his eyes overflowing with hatred.

"Tongtian, you brat, Houtu's attack on me last time was your doing, wasn't it?!"

Yuanshi's icy voice shattered the brief silence.

Tongtian turned slightly to look at Yuanshi. He had never intended to erase the traces of his actions.

Otherwise, Yuanshi would never have known that he was responsible.

"Hehe, you only know now that it was me?"

"So what if I did it? Can you do anything to me? Did you think only you could plot against my Interception Sect?"

"Who gave you such authority?"

Tongtian sneered disdainfully.

"Shameless scoundrel!"

"Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Hearing this, Yuanshi immediately flew into a rage and released his Saint's aura.

Looking at the furious Yuanshi, Tongtian's eyes were filled with contempt.

This was Zixiao Palace!

They simply could not fight here. Yuanshi was only desperately trying to save face.

But this old thing actually dared to act so aggressively. It seemed he would have to teach him a profound lesson next time.

Thus, Tongtian also released his aura. The might of an Great Dao Saint at the fifth level surged toward Yuanshi like a flood.

Boom!

Tongtian's Saint's might collided directly with Yuanshi's. Yuanshi was forced back several steps, stopping only when his back hit the wall.

Whoosh!

Since he had already made a move, there was no need to worry about anything else.

Tongtian immediately brought out the God-Slaying Spear and thrust it straight at Yuanshi.

Wisps of drifting black flames coiled around the God-Slaying Spear, making the sight utterly terrifying.

When he saw this, Yuanshi's face instantly turned deathly pale. He had never expected Tongtian to dare attack him inside Zixiao Palace.

Moreover, he discovered that Tongtian's cultivation had actually reached the fifth level. How could he not be shocked?

Looking at the God-Slaying Spear stabbing toward him, he had no way to dodge. It struck him directly, seriously injuring him.

Before the other Saints could react, it had already happened. They had not even had time to change their expressions.

At that moment, the Two Western Saints exchanged a glance. Without exception, their eyes were filled with regret.

If they had known this would happen, why had they acted in the first place?

Who could have expected Tongtian to cultivate to the fifth level of the Great Dao Saint realm?

Before he gave up his Sage position, he had only been at the third level!
