A moment later, the crisscrossing cracks on the flag's surface seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible hand, gradually healing.
Indeed, the power of merit has always been the most supreme and fundamental power in the Primordial World!
If a cultivator obtains it, they can rapidly improve their cultivation level. Even more remarkably, with immense merit, they can attain sainthood in the blink of an eye!
If used to refine magical artifacts, even ordinary objects can be transformed into Merit Supreme Treasure, their power far exceeding that of the past!
Even more incredibly, this power can also cleanse karmic obstacles and avert disasters.
Even healing wounds to the body and soul—all these miraculous effects are within a single thought.
Seeing that the Green Lotus Precious Banner and the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit had been restored to their original state, the Daoist Jieyin a deep breath and solemnly said, "Elder Brother! I'm here to help you!"
Upon hearing the sound, Daoist Zhunti's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he retreated swiftly, barely dodging Empress Houtu's fierce attack. Immediately afterward, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree Branch suddenly pierced out, aiming straight for Houtu's shoulder blade!
Shockingly, however, the blow failed to leave the slightest mark on her!
However, it seemed that Daoist Zhunti had anticipated this, and he was not shaken by the failure. Instead, he pushed the Heavenly Dao Laws and the power of the Saint to the limit, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree Branch swept out again!
Although it may not be able to fundamentally damage it, it is enough to force it to temporarily retreat from the limelight!
Empress Houtu was forced to retreat several hundred feet, and at the same time, the Daoist Jieyin had already flashed to the side of Daoist Zhunti.
He held Green Lotus Precious Banner that had almost transformed into Merit Supreme Treasure, and stood on Guang Hui Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit.
Seeing this, Daoist Zhunti slowly inhaled and said in a deep voice, "Use the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit to protect your body, and rely on the Green Lotus Precious Banner to attack the enemy."
" Jieyin, you hold Houtu back for now. I'll go support the Beast Emperor Shen Ni immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the Daoist Jieyin was suddenly shocked and filled with astonishment.
He looked at the Daoist Zhunti and urgently advised, "Brother! Why go to such lengths!"
"We must know that Empress Nuwa and the Ruthless Great Emperor have already entered the Chaos Realm with Su Yang. Our most urgent task is to extricate ourselves and leave!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhunti merely smiled calmly, his tone firm. "I understand. But the problem is, our West paid a heavy price for this battle to persuade the Beast Emperor to lend a hand."
"If we ultimately gain nothing, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
"Even knowing that intervening in the battle between the Beast Emperor and the Sect Master Tongtian is extremely dangerous, I am willing to risk serious injury to make the Sect Master Tongtian suffer!"
"Even if in the end we can only tear off a wisp of his Dao foundation, we will not hesitate!"
Daoist Zhunti's eyes flashed with cold light, his killing intent chilling, leaving Jieyin Daoist Jieyin speechless and helpless.
Upon careful consideration, there was not a single point in his statement that could be refuted.
In the end, he could only sigh softly and nod, saying, "Since elder brother has made up his mind..."
Before he finished speaking, the Daoist Jieyin had already grabbed the flag and leaped towards the distant Empress Houtu!
The Green Lotus Precious Banner shone with boundless light, and a divine radiance pierced through the Chaos Void, slashing straight down!
At the same time, the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit beneath his feet continued to bloom with golden light, protecting him from all incoming forces!
A roar Daoist Jieyin, the sound waves sweeping across the entire chaos!
"Since elder brother has made up his mind..."
"Then, brother, go all out and fight!"
"Today, I, the Daoist Jieyin, will stop Houtu for you!"
The sound tore through the chaos, Daoist Jieyin rushed straight towards Empress Houtu, a sharp killing intent appearing in his eyes!
A flash of red light, and a terrifying power swept towards Empress Houtu in an instant!
Upon seeing this, Empress Houtu raised her eyebrows slightly, finding the actions of Jieyin and Zhunti quite strange.
But she didn't think deeply about it; even if the Two Sages of the West had their own schemes, they would find it difficult to reverse the current battle situation!
The Beast Emperor Shen Ni was no match for the Sect Master Tongtian, Two Sages of the West could not suppress the Empress Houtu.
Moreover, Su Yang, the Ruthless Great Emperor, Empress Nuwa were watching the battle from the sidelines.
Under these circumstances, what kind of storm can the Two Sages of the West stir up?
Seeing the Daoist Jieyin her, Empress Houtu remained calm and composed.
She gathered magical power in her palm, clenched her fist, and unleashed a powerful punch directly at the Daoist Jieyin!
The terrifying force of the fist instantly stirred up the chaos, transforming into a raging storm. Upon Daoist Jieyin hurriedly waved the Green Lotus Precious Banner, and a chaotic torrent burst forth, heading straight for the Empress Houtu!
Undeniably, Empress Houtu's strength has long surpassed that of ordinary Heavenly Dao Sage. However, because she did not exert her full strength, and because the Daoist Jieyin held the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Azure Green Lotus Precious Banner, and stood on the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit.
Could it be that he was evenly matched with Empress Houtu for a time?
This may seem unbelievable, but in reality, Empress Houtu was merely using the body of Daoist Jieyin to verify the supernatural powers she had comprehended during the battles with powerful figures such as Heavenly Emperor Ye and Desolate Heavenly Emperor!
Suddenly, the Empress Houtu raised her right fist, and a vast and powerful aura swept across the surrounding area.
This fist technique was created by her after observing Heavenly Emperor Ye's past moves and being inspired by his " Heavenly Emperor Fist "!
"Although I have lost the Earthly Dao Qi, I, Houtu, am still the master of the earth and the supreme being of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
" The Six Paths of Reincarnation reincarnation all return to me!"
" Daoist Jieyin, this fist carries the hatred of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, do you dare to accept it?"
Empress Houtu stared intently at Jieyin, then suddenly roared, " True Ancestral Witch Body! Undying primordial spirit! Secret technique from Foreign Domain, condense!"
" Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"
A terrifying fist flash tore through the void, and nothing else could be seen in the chaos.
With a single punch, the chaotic world spanning billions of miles trembled!
Where the force of the fist spread, boundless karmic fire arose, burning away all of nothingness!
Witnessing the power and overwhelming force of this punch, the Daoist Jieyin knew he could not underestimate it.
He immediately stepped onto the Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, and his magical power surged into the lotus platform!
A golden light curtain appeared out of thin air, layer upon layer, attempting to withstand Empress Houtu's attack!
But can these Twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit truly withstand it?
Heavenly Emperor Ye probably never expected that he would evolve the Heavenly Emperor Fist from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist.
Now, the Empress Houtu has actually observed the Heavenly Emperor Fist from the opposite perspective and deduced the true " Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist ".
With a single punch, the world lost its color!
Clearly, this was the first time the Daoist Jieyin had encountered such a terrifying attack!
Faced with Empress Houtu's attack, he was momentarily at a loss and could only offer up the golden lotus to build a barrier in order to protect himself!
Just how terrifying is the power of this punch?
Daoist Zhunti, who originally intended to withdraw and help the Beast Emperor Shen Ni fight against the Sect Master Tongtian, was also affected by the force of the punch!
Zhunti was shocked; before he could retreat, the force of the punch had already arrived!
He dared not delay, and hastily flashed behind the Daoist Jieyin, pouring all his magical power into the defensive barrier!
Jieyin noticed that Zhunti had returned, but remained unmoved.
Just then, the fist landed, Daoist Zhunti could no longer rashly attack to aid the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.
Witnessing this scene, Empress Houtu seemed to have an epiphany.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the fierce battle between the Sect Master Tongtian and the Beast Emperor Shen Ni in the distance, and thought to himself, "So the Daoist Jieyin intends to go and support the Beast Emperor Shen Ni?"
"Although the Sect Master Tongtian Leader currently holds the advantage, the Beast Emperor Shen Ni possesses the ' the 'One' that Escaped,' making a complete victory by no means easy. Therefore..."
Empress Houtu's gaze slowly turned to the Two Sages of the West, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin, a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
"Magic weapon! Appear!"
A sharp shout rang out, and the bronze bell hanging from Empress Houtu's waist instantly increased a thousandfold in size, hovering in front of her, gleaming with golden light and exuding an aura of power!
" The Eastern Emperor Bell?!"
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin paled and gasped. Empress Houtu had actually borrowed such a priceless treasure from Su Yang Su Yang? Just how deep was their friendship?
It's truly astonishing that such Innate Supreme Treasure, powerful enough to suppress chaos, could be borrowed so easily!
Realizing this, the two Saint felt even heavier-hearted.
Empress Houtu formed a hand seal, gathering her magical power in her palms, and then slammed it down on the bell!
In an instant, an invisible ripple spread out, which was the vast Daoist aura released by the Eastern Emperor Bell!
