Taishang and Yuanshi's expressions instantly darkened so much they looked ready to drip water.
Yuanshi sneered coldly from the side. "Tongtian is utterly rebellious, discarded his own Sage position, and still dares to show such disrespect to his two senior brothers!"
"Watch me hack apart your Biyou Palace and capture you for punishment!"
Listening to Yuanshi's extremely hypocritical voice, Tongtian was so furious that he laughed instead.
"Hehehe, Senior Brother Yuanshi, we're all old acquaintances. What are you still pretending for in front of me?"
"Isn't it because you think I'm easy to bully after discarding my Sage position?"
"Otherwise, would you dare jump around in front of me?!"
Accompanied by Tongtian's proud voice, a formidable sword force instantly appeared in the void!
The sword force constantly shook the void. Even gods and demons could not withstand it!
Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
The sword formation manifested, directly trapping the two Sages in its center.
It looked as if a single wrong word would lead straight to a fight.
Seeing Tongtian do this, Yuanshi immediately shouted furiously, "Tongtian! Don't regret this!"
"Don't say I bullied you, my junior brother, when the time comes!"
Tongtian immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha, I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
Boom!
Yuanshi erupted with formidable Sage might. His face flushed red. A Sage's dignity had been ruthlessly trampled into the ground and ground underfoot, and he truly could not endure it any longer.
"Don't think this tiny restriction can stop me. Dream on!"
Yuanshi shouted and immediately prepared to force Tongtian out.
Boom, boom, boom!
"A Sage's aura really is formidable! Is he planning to attack Biyou Palace without any regard for his reputation?"
Turtle Spirit Holy Mother spoke through clenched teeth, her face full of disbelief and fury.
"This is simply going too far! If they didn't know that Master had lost his Sage position, would they dare make a move?!"
Zhao Gongming said furiously.
Only Duobao remained calm and composed. He said with conviction, "Master must have a backup plan!"
Master definitely had a backup plan. Even so, Duobao was still somewhat uncertain inside, but he had to believe in his Master.
Looking at Yuanshi, who had attacked in humiliation and rage, Tongtian remained exceptionally calm.
Yuanshi dared attack me for no other reason than knowing I had discarded my Sage position. Otherwise, with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Chaos God Bell, how would these two hypocrites dare come straight to my door?!
Boom!
Tongtian charged straight out of Biyou Palace with an incomparably powerful aura.
He directly activated the power refined from the Primordial Saint Embryo. The pressure of a Sage spread without limit, suppressing the four directions.
A terrifying aura soared into the sky! Compared with the pressure Yuanshi had unleashed, it was evenly matched!
"That's Sage might! Has Master broken through to the legendary realm of the Great Dao Saint?"
Duobao said incredulously.
Although he had known that Master would have a backup plan, even if he racked his brains, he could never have imagined that Master would cultivate the Great Dao Saint realm anew.
"How is that possible?"
"Why is there still Sage might?"
"Didn't he discard his Sage position?"
At that moment, a string of questions surfaced in the minds of the two Sages, and their faces simultaneously turned pale.
At the sight of Tongtian's aura, even the mighty cultivators secretly watching were scared into breaking out in a cold sweat.
If Tongtian's cultivation was still intact, wouldn't their actions amount to digging their own graves?
Yuanshi's expression went blank. Pressured by Tongtian's aura, he kept retreating while murmuring, "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Why did this fellow still possess the pressure of a Sage?
Hadn't the Heavenly Dao manifested and announced to the world that this fellow had discarded his Sage position?
Taishang and Yuanshi were both utterly shocked.
It really was Sage might!
That overwhelming pressure could only be unleashed by a Sage!
What exactly was going on?
Why did Tongtian still possess such powerful Sage might after discarding his Sage position?
"This is Sage might! Tongtian is still a Sage!"
Taishang's face was pale and powerless as he spoke in a trembling voice.
Tongtian had once been honest and simple, but he was different now.
"Why? How did he attain the Primordial Dao in such a short time?"
Yuanshi's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He simply could not believe it.
"Did you really think I was that easy to bully?"
"At Zixiao Palace, I was able to make you lose all face. Today, I can do the same!"
Tongtian's icy voice slowly spread through the air.
Hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi's face had already changed from red to white, then from white to purple.
His overwhelming fury made him tremble uncontrollably!
Even so, Taishang and Yuanshi still did not dare act rashly.
If Tongtian's cultivation was still intact, the two of them together were simply no match for him.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation alone could suppress them both completely.
"Senior Brother? What should we do?"
Yuanshi asked Taishang for help.
Taishang merely shook his head slowly.
"Junior Brother Tongtian."
"The Three Pure Ones came from the same source. You and I should still speak properly."
"As for the matter of the Investiture of the Gods, perhaps we can still discuss it peacefully."
Taishang spoke to Tongtian.
"You still want to negotiate with me?!"
Tongtian said coldly, "It's not impossible to negotiate. How about the two of you come into my formation and have a good talk?"
With that, Tongtian activated sword qi so terrifying that it defied description!
Boom!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation received the command. Its terrifying aura made people's scalps numb.
"Senior Brother Taishang, Junior Brother Tongtian is being far too arrogant!"
Yuanshi spoke to Taishang with fire blazing in his eyes.
It seemed Tongtian absolutely would not come out to meet them, while the two of them were also extremely wary and did not dare attack.
The mere two Sages were completely incapable of suppressing Tongtian. Not being counter-suppressed was already the best outcome.
If they had not been so careless when they came and had called Zhunti, Jieyin, and the others along, they would not have been in such a passive position.
Taishang was helpless. He said, "Since Junior Brother no longer needs the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, the two of us will leave now!"
What else could they do besides return?
Yuanshi was unwilling to accept this, but Taishang merely said calmly, "I'll go ahead first!"
With that, Taishang's figure vanished instantly, fleeing faster than a rabbit.
Yuanshi was extremely helpless, but there was nothing he could do. If he were alone, he would not dare test Tongtian.
No matter what, the Sage might Tongtian had released could not be fake.
"Hmph! I'll let you off for today!"
"Let's see how long you plan to remain a coward hiding in your shell!"
With that, Yuanshi also left unwillingly.
Inside the radiant Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun sat on the meditation cushion like a great mountain.
Hongjun had indeed sensed the Sage might Tongtian had unleashed.
Only a Sage could unleash it.
However, Hongjun could not find Tongtian's primordial spirit within the Heavenly Dao. Thus, Tongtian was not a Sage after all.
Perhaps Tongtian had not attained the fruit of the Heavenly Dao Sage.
Who in this world would be willing to abandon the supreme position of a Sage?
Hongjun did not understand it either. The great calamity was about to descend...
