Amidst the astonished gazes of countless Great Divine Ability User and quasi-saints, the Sect Master Tongtian single-handedly fought against the Two Sages of the West, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, without being at a disadvantage in the slightest!
Zhunti and Jieyin failed to cause the slightest trouble for Sect Master Tongtian!
Instead, it calmly resolved the situation, handling it with ease.
However, every wisp of sword energy unleashed by the Sect Master Tongtian forced Zhunti and Jieyin to concentrate and exert all their strength to defend against it!
" The Buddha Light!"
Daoist Zhunti roared angrily, and a magnificent Buddha Light burst forth behind him. Wherever the Guang Hui fell, many powerful beings felt a stinging pain in their eyes, and even many quasi-saints couldn't help but squint their eyes, staring in shock at the scene.
The Sect Master Tongtian Leader remained calm as the Four Swords of Zhu Xian soared into the sky. Without needing to set up the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, he was already able to fight two against one, resisting two great Heavenly Dao Sage. A surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart!
In the past, if the sword formation had not been set up, Sect Master Tongtian would have had a hard time facing Zhunti and Jieyin alone.
It could even be said that, at that time, as Heavenly Dao Sage, he would have been unable to pose a threat to the Two Sages of the West without the aid of the sword formation!
Even before activating the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, he was able to easily withstand the combined attacks of the two men based solely on his own cultivation!
The Four Swords of Zhu Xian danced and swirled, their sharp sword energy soaring into the Yunxiao, as if even the sun, moon and stars were being cleaved in two!
In an instant, the Primordial World was filled with Heavenly Sword, and all other things disappeared without a trace!
The western lands were plunged into a deep silence, as if Eternal Night had descended!
"What exactly is going on? Could it be that severing oneself can truly grant such heaven-defying combat power?"
The Daoist Jieyin's expression was solemn, with deep worry showing between his brows. The Sect Master Tongtian had only suffered a self-inflicted injury a few days ago, falling to the peak of the Quasi-Sage Peak.
How could they now possess the terrifying strength to contend with two Heavenly Dao Sage?
Daoist Zhunti also looked solemn, his gaze fixed on Sect Master Tongtian. Witnessing his sword strike like a dragon, his mind was violently shaken!
Back when they were both Heavenly Dao Sage, Tongtian never possessed such power!
Now, having severed his own life and practiced the Dharma Gate of Foreign Domain, he has stepped into a level comparable to the Saint Realm in that other world, and his combat power has skyrocketed to this extent!
Daoist Zhunti couldn't help but stare intently at the other person, and asked in a deep voice, " Sect Master Tongtian, may I ask what realm this is?"
"Realm? Ha!"
The Sect Master Tongtian smiled coldly, a faint, indifferent curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He then slashed down with his sword, the terrifying sword energy carrying the vast magical power of the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao, heading straight for the Two Sages of the West!
" This Realm is called the Sacrificial Path!"
Before the words were even finished, Zhunti and Jieyin's pupils constricted sharply, and they both gasped in shock, their hearts filled with turmoil!
The Realm of Sacrificing the Dao?
They had heard of this name from Su Yang before.
Su Yang mentioned the existence of this This Realm when he gave lectures on the scriptures and doctrines earlier.
At the time, the two didn't pay much attention. After all, in their view, it was just a hollow title from Foreign Domain cultivation system. What use was it even if they knew the name? Could they really step into that This Realm?
But right now, the Sect Master Tongtian has indeed and unmistakably elevated his cultivation to the legendary pinnacle of "Sacrifice Dao"!
What is the sacrificial ceremony? It is the complete dedication of one's own path, thereby entering the ranks of those who offer sacrifices to the Way!
At that very moment, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin suddenly realized something!
No wonder Empress Houtu's strength suddenly surged to such an astonishing level!
It turns out that she has already entered the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao!
No wonder Empress Houtu's aura became incredibly powerful, yet no trace of the earth's power could be found. Perhaps the path she sacrificed before entering the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao was the very earth that carries all spirits and sustains all living beings!
Now, the Sect Master Tongtian has severed his own life, voluntarily relinquishing his status as a Heavenly Dao Sage. This may not be a simple retreat, but rather a sacrifice, as he cuts off the Dao with his sword, offering up the path to Heavenly Dao Sage as a offering!
In this way, the Sect Master Tongtian truly stepped into the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao, and his combat power soared to an unbelievable level!
Not only were Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin deeply shocked, but even those Great Divine Ability User and quasi-saint powerhouses couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, their hearts filled with extreme shock!
The term " Realm of Sacrificing the Dao " was something many people had heard by chance when listening to Su Yang preach and discuss the Dao.
But who would have thought that this This Realm would actually descend upon the Primordial World today! Countless powerful beings were deeply moved, their hearts filled with surging waves!
However, a question immediately arises: although the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao is stronger than that of Heavenly Dao Sage, what if one fails to reach this This Realm after severing one's own path?
Did the Sect Master Tongtian have no concerns about this?
Both Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin harbored doubts: if they cut off their own path but failed to ascend to the sacrificial altar, wouldn't they be needlessly damaging their foundation?
Moreover, in their view, although the Sacrificing Dao Method is incredibly powerful and its energy is as surging as the Abyssal Sea, it ultimately originates from Foreign Domain and is not the orthodox tradition of the Primordial World!
Can such a method of cultivation truly transcend the traditional Primordial World traditions of the primordial world?
They were unaware that the so-called position of Heavenly Dao Sage was not the pinnacle for them, but rather a constraint!
The Sect Master Tongtian's self-mutilation was not merely for the pursuit of the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao; even if he could not reach the other shore through the methods of Foreign Domain, he would surely find another way to achieve the path of the Three Corpses Sage!
This is because the limitations of the Heavenly Dao Sage are far too obvious.
To truly transcend and reach a higher realm, severing one's own path is imperative!
Unfortunately, neither Daoist Zhunti nor Daoist Jieyin understood these profound meanings.
Even now, as they were facing off against the Sect Master Tongtian and becoming his adversaries, the two still couldn't help but feel admiration for Sect Master Tongtian —his resolute courage to sever his own path was rare in the world!
Even if the Sacrificing Dao Method was laid out before them, they wouldn't dare to try it lightly!
Back then, in order to prove the sacred fruit of the Heavenly Dao, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin made a grand vow before the Heavenly Dao, borrowing Immeasurable Merit, which they have yet to repay even a fraction of to this day!
Once they sever their own ties, the karmic consequences will be unbearable for them!
The Sect Master Tongtian has now severed his Dao and achieved the Realm of Sacrificing the Dao.
This is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the Two Sages of the West!
It should be known that back then, when Heavenly Emperor Ye was only in the early stages of the Daoist practice, he still managed to Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin flee in panic, losing all face!
They even had to flee into the Chaos Storm to barely escape!
Now that the Sect Master Tongtian has also reached the early stage of the Sacrifice Dao, how can this be considered an auspicious sign for the Daoist Zhunti and the Daoist Jieyin?
At present, the Sect Master Tongtian is merely adapting to the newly generated sacrificial power within his body, a fact that both Zhunti and Jieyin can clearly see.
After all, when Empress Houtu first entered the path of sacrifice, weren't the first targets she tested her skills against the Two Sages of the West?
Thinking of this, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin felt a tightness in their chests, filled with grievances. Which great deity had they offended?
Although we have made many enemies over the years, haven't all our actions been for the revitalization of the West? Were we forced to do these things to promote the prosperity of the Primordial World?
Even if the methods are somewhat despicable, in their eyes, aren't they justifiable and justifiable?
They ultimately fought for the sake of the Primordial World, but why did neither Empress Houtu nor Sect Master Tongtian...
Both have focused their trials, using the powers they are familiar with, on Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin.
Thinking of this, both Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin shook their heads with wry smiles.
However, they still had to concentrate and face the increasingly fierce attacks of the Sect Master Tongtian!
It should be noted that at this moment, the Sect Master Tongtian has only just begun to grasp the power within his body, yet he has already made Zhunti and Jieyin and Jieyin exhausted and extremely tormented!
If he were to fully comprehend and control that power, how would Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin possibly defend themselves?
This is clearly a battle with no chance of winning!
Both Saint felt a surge of powerlessness. As the power emanating from each move of the Sect Master Tongtian continued to increase, they were acutely aware of it.
This is a sign that the power within him is becoming increasingly compatible and under his deeper control!
In other words, the longer time goes on, the more the Sect Master Tongtian fully comprehends his own power, the more impossible it will become for Zhunti and Jieyin to contend with him!
