The Jade Emperor: Welcome, Great Nephew Tongtian!

Witnessing such grand and imposing Saintly might, laced with overwhelming fury, the Jade Emperor's expression turned cold and stern.

This is the true power of a Saint, truly terrifying. The Saint realm I forcefully ascended to, aided by the Heavenly Court's protective formation and the power of the Three Realms, pales in comparison, like the difference between clouds and mud.

Outside the Heavenly Court's formation, the Grand Pure Saint, clad in white robes and white boots, with silver hair, a jade belt cinching his waist, stood tall and imposing, his long white beard flowing in the wind.

"Hmph, break!"

The Grand Pure Saint lightly stomped his foot. With a rumble, the Heavenly Court's protective formation flared with brilliant light, shaking violently. A host of heavenly gods were thrown to the ground, their expressions filled with panic.

RUMBLE!

The Heavenly Court shook violently. The entire Nine Heavens instantly shattered into chaos, leaving only the Heavenly Court, like a tiny isolated island in a vast ocean, battered by a towering tsunami!

The Jade Emperor roared, mobilizing the power of the Three Realms to fully protect the formation.

He never expected the Grand Pure Saint to be this strong. With just a light stomp, the Heavenly Court's formation is already struggling to hold!

Saints are far more terrifying than I imagined! The Jade Emperor's face darkened. Only by facing a Saint could one truly understand their boundless, peerless might; it was not as simple as one might imagine.

"Hmm??" The Grand Pure Saint let out a surprised sound. This formation hadn't shattered?

"Dao Ancestor?" The Grand Pure Saint frowned. "So Teacher was guarding against us Saints as well."

"Let this venerable one test the might of the great formation Teacher arranged." The Grand Pure Saint showed no fear, raising his hand, a carrying pole appeared in his grasp.

"Slash!"

The Grand Pure Saint used the carrying pole as a saber, slashing down with all his might. Chaos was cleaved open, striking the great formation, causing light to erupt.

The formation surprisingly began to show numerous fine cracks, emitting a crackling sound.

"Damn it!" The Jade Emperor's eyelids twitched!

This formation seemed on the verge of being broken by the Grand Pure Saint!

Didn't Dao Ancestor Hongjun say it could withstand a full-power attack from a Saint?

Why was it about to break?

The West.

Saint Zhunti and Saint Jieyin both raised an eyebrow.

"After only thirty million years, Grand Pure's strength has actually broken through?"

"Saint Seventh Heaven?" Saint Zhunti's brow furrowed deeply.

The Saint realm, broadly speaking, could be divided into early, middle, and late stages. However, each major realm could be further divided into three heavenly stages.

As for Saint Zhunti, he was only at the Fourth Heaven, and Saint Jieyin was merely at the Fifth Heaven.

Each heavenly stage represented a vast chasm!

One could imagine how terrifying the Grand Pure Saint's strength was!

Even more terrifying was Dao Ancestor Hongjun, whose great formation, arranged countless years ago, could easily withstand the Grand Pure Saint's full-power attack!

"My eldest brother's path of 'Grand Supreme Forgetting Emotions' is progressing further and further, and he is becoming increasingly cold."

On Golden Ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian sighed.

"Fortunately, I left early." Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing secretly rejoiced.

Above the Heavenly Court.

A host of heavenly gods had pale faces, their complexions ashen. They had fallen to the ground, completely devoid of fighting spirit.

They already knew the consequences after the formation was broken.

Having besieged Grand Supreme Elder Laozi, would the Grand Pure Saint let them off?

Death and the destruction of their Dao was the least of it!

"Hmph, you brat Jade Emperor, come out and surrender!" The Grand Pure Saint's voice was chillingly cold.

"Hahahaha! Grand Pure Saint, are you kidding me?" The Jade Emperor laughed.

"Do you think this formation can withstand my attacks multiple times?" The Grand Pure Saint sneered. "By then, killing you will be like slaughtering dogs!"

"Presumptuous!" The Jade Emperor roared, the power of the Three Realms surging. He took a step forward, his imperial robes rustling, facing the Grand Pure Saint directly, showing no weakness!

"In the Primordial Era's Three Realms, I am supreme! In the Heavenly Court, even Saints shall not be presumptuous!"

A voice as deep and vast as a great bell reverberated through the Nine Heavens and reached the depths of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs!

It resounded throughout the Primordial Era's Three Realms!

Even the ordinary commoner, Zhang Yifan, heard it.

"That's strange, how does this Heavenly Court's Jade Emperor know that phrase?"

Zhang Yifan was a little surprised.

The Big Black Dog, Old Ancestor Qilin, chuckled. Isn't it because Master told him?

This brat Jade Emperor, with this spirit and momentum right now, finally lives up to being Master's son.

Yang Jian, standing beside Zhang Yifan, was also chuckling, feeling equally fired up!

"In the Heavenly Court, even Saints are not allowed to act presumptuously!"

The great powers of the Primordial Era were so shocked their Blood Essence surged.

What spirit!

What courage!

Magnificent, unparalleled.

Where was the little doorman from Zixiao Palace?

The title of Lord of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor could now truly bear it!

"Jade Emperor!"

Taibai Jinxing, Wu Qu Xing Jun, and the other heavenly gods were also stirred by the Jade Emperor's words, their blood boiling and morale soaring.

"Follow me to meet the enemy!"

"Yes, Jade Emperor!"

The heavenly gods roared their assent and flew to stand behind the Jade Emperor.

"Father Emperor, we've come to help you!"

"Husband, I'm here with you!"

The Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies, picking up their weapons, stood by the Jade Emperor's side, glaring at the Grand Pure Saint.

Facing a Saint, even if it meant certain death and utter destruction, the gods of the Heavenly Court would press forward without fear!

"Good, good, good! Hahahaha." The Jade Emperor laughed heartily. With this mother and daughter, what more could he ask for?

With these ministers, how could the Heavenly Court not prosper?!

"Since that is the case, then all of you shall die with it." The Grand Pure Saint's face was cold as he raised his carrying pole and swung it down fiercely once more.

Boom!

The Heavenly Court's protective formation cracked, countless fissures appearing. With just one more blow, the formation would surely shatter.

"Break!" The Grand Pure Saint roared and swung down again.

"Kill!" The Jade Emperor and the others bellowed, raising their weapons to meet the attack!

All the gods of the Primordial Era were certain the Jade Emperor was doomed this time.

Somewhere in the Primordial Era, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing sneered, "Farewell, Jade Emperor!"

"The Heavenly Court will change masters today," Grand Immortal Zhen Yuanzi also chuckled.

But at the critical moment, all beings in the Primordial Era heard an incredibly crisp sound of impact.

Ding!!!

Just as the Grand Pure Saint's carrying pole was about to strike the formation again, a flying sword suddenly appeared, blocking the pole.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The sound of a sword whistling filled the air, and one sword suddenly transformed into four, positioning themselves at the four cardinal directions of the Heavenly Court, protecting it.

A vast sword intent surged through the nine heavens.

"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?!"

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, Grand Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, and the others exclaimed in unison.

Sect Master Tongtian?!!

After the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, had the Sect Master Tongtian, who had disappeared for countless years, finally appeared?

And this posture... was he helping the Jade Emperor?

"Third Brother?" The Grand Pure Saint's eyelids twitched slightly.

As expected.

Sect Master Tongtian, appearing as a young man, materialized above the Heavenly Court.

"Eldest Brother," Sect Master Tongtian nodded.

"Hahahaha, eldest nephew, you're here!" Seeing Sect Master Tongtian arrive, the Jade Emperor burst into laughter.

???

???

???

Eldest nephew?

Who are you calling eldest nephew?

Who is your eldest nephew?

Didn't the person who arrived just now happen to be Sect Master Tongtian?

Where is your eldest nephew?

The great powers of the Primordial Era were all bewildered.

The gods of the Heavenly Court were also bewildered.

Didn't the Jade Emperor only have a nephew? When did he get a grandnephew?

Upon hearing this, the Grand Pure Saint's face turned cold, and he looked at Sect Master Tongtian with a questioning gaze.

Sect Master Tongtian didn't look at the Grand Pure Saint; instead, he glared furiously at the Jade Emperor.

Damn it, he's calling me his grandnephew in front of all the great powers of the Primordial Era?

Don't I, a Saint, have any dignity?

How am I supposed to get by in the Primordial Era from now on?

"What are you glaring at?! Grandnephew, are your skin itching for a beating?"

The Jade Emperor glared back at Sect Master Tongtian, looking like an elder about to discipline a junior!
