Heavenly Punishment, Big Black Dog Smashes Spiritual Mountain with a Hoe

In the presence of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Sect Master Tongtian unleashed a sword strike directly at Saint Zhunti, stunning everyone.

"Insolent!" Dao Ancestor Hongjun roared. Borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao, he easily blocked Sect Master Tongtian's attack and pushed him millions of miles away.

"During the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, your Jie Teachings fell apart, leaving you with lingering resentment and anger. I am naturally aware of this. However, the Heavenly Dao Tribulation is predetermined, and no one is allowed to defy it. Even as the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao, I cannot interfere."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's expression remained impassive, his tone exceedingly cold.

"Tongtian's conflict with Grand Pure Saint shattered the Primordial Era continent, causing the suffering of countless living beings. He also shamed his elders and defied the Heavenly Dao."

"Now, the Four Immortal Slaying Swords are confiscated, you shall receive a strike of Heavenly Punishment, and Golden Ao Island will face a thousand years of confinement!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun indifferently listed Sect Master Tongtian's transgressions and delivered his punishment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongjun beckoned, and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, including the Immortal Slaying Sword and Slaughtering Immortal Sword, broke free from Sect Master Tongtian's grasp and were taken into Hongjun's sleeve.

The speed was so great that Tongtian had no time to resist.

"Heavenly Punishment."

Hongjun said coldly.

Heavenly Punishment!

The expressions of all the Saints changed, and they retreated millions of miles away.

Above the nine heavens, a giant black and white eye emanated a suffocating, terrifying aura. The black and white slowly turned purple.

The aura grew more and more terrifying. All living beings in the Primordial Era prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, not daring to breathe!

Even the Saints, millions of miles away, felt the supreme pressure. They all silently circulated their Saintly power, quietly resisting this invisible Heavenly Dao pressure.

Sect Master Tongtian, located at the exact center of the Heavenly Punishment Eye's gaze, felt the Heavenly Dao pressure even more profoundly.

Even when circulating his Saintly cultivation technique at full power and mobilizing all his strength, Sect Master Tongtian's bones creaked under the invisible pressure.

The Heavenly Punishment Eye seemed intent on crushing him, on forcing him to kneel!

But Sect Master Tongtian was resolute. His hair flew wildly, he gritted his teeth in anger, and glared up at the Heavenly Punishment Eye: "Bring it on!"

BOOM!

The void shattered like glass, breaking into pieces.

A beam of purple lightning, ten thousand zhang in diameter, struck Sect Master Tongtian.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The lightning engulfed Sect Master Tongtian's body. Even the Saints could not clearly see Tongtian, who was suffering Heavenly Punishment, for a time.

They could only hear Sect Master Tongtian's pained cries.

These cries of agony echoed throughout the Primordial Era.

After the Heavenly Punishment ended, Sect Master Tongtian was in tatters, his skin and hair scorched black and still smoking. His primordial spirit was severely damaged, and his cultivation greatly reduced!

The Saint-mid stage realm he had just regained was directly knocked down to the first level of the Saint-early stage realm.

Billions of years of cultivation were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"Journey to the West restarts. No defiance allowed."

"Within a thousand years, Saints are forbidden from taking action."

After the Heavenly Punishment ended, Hongjun issued two decrees before disappearing.

The Heavenly Punishment Eye also vanished.

The invisible Heavenly Dao pressure instantly disappeared without a trace, and the sky cleared in an instant.

"We bid farewell to Dao Ancestor!"

Grand Pure Saint, Saint Nuwa, Saint Zhunti, Saint Jieyin, and all the other Saints and heavenly gods bowed respectfully.

The Human Realm.

Zhang Yifan had also seen the colossal Heavenly Punishment Eye and the ten-thousand-zhang lightning bolt.

"That Heavenly Punishment was harsh."

Zhang Yifan stroked his chin. "It seems they want to teach Sect Master Tongtian a profound lesson, to make him behave himself in the future."

Poor Little Tongtong.

Yang Jian sighed in sympathy from the side. He then saw Old Ancestor Qilin and the Big Black Dog nearby.

Suddenly, a mischievous idea struck him, and he revealed a wicked grin.

The wicked grin made Old Ancestor Qilin feel a chill, and he transmitted a message to Yang Jian: "What are you plotting, kid?"

"What am I plotting? Naturally, I'm going to avenge Little Tongtong."

"If the Master doesn't act, can you defeat Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"

"Defeating Hongjun is certainly not the time. But that old scoundrel Zhunti, I can deal with him."

Yang Jian sneered. "That old scoundrel Zhunti actually insulted my Brother Tong. Not only will I deal with him, but I'll also dismantle his Spiritual Mountain!"

"You're only at the Quasi-Saint early stage."

The Old Ancestor Qilin and Big Black Dog rolled their eyes.

"But you're a Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

Yang Jian grinned wickedly, then scooped up the Old Ancestor Qilin and Big Black Dog into his arms. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free.

Damn it!

The Old Ancestor Qilin and Big Black Dog glared at Yang Jian, but with Zhang Yifan nearby, it didn't dare to act too brazenly. "You little brat, if you want to do something, do it! Why are you hugging me? I'll state this clearly first, this Old Ancestor only likes women! I have no interest in men, no matter how handsome you are. If you dare to hug me again in the future, I'll bite you to death."

"Alright, alright, as if I like men."

Yang Jian threw the Big Black Dog aside. "For this job, we still need to call the Dragon Ancestor. And those Nine Golden Crows too."

"That's a must. With two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, you can't possibly expect me to go alone. The Dragon Ancestor is also a Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal, just like me. Two against two, it's a perfect match."

Hiss!

The Dragon Ancestor is also a Primordial Chaos Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

Yang Jian gasped, never expecting that there were so many Saint-like existences in this small courtyard!

Then, the Big Black Dog ran to the pond and barked a few times into it.

In the pond, the Dragon Ancestor surfaced, nodded its fish-like head in agreement.

The Nine Golden Crows also chirped a few times, indicating their assent.

"Yang Jian, to be safe, borrow a hoe from Master. When the time comes, I'll dig that old geezer Zhunti to death with a single hoe."

"Sure thing!"

Yang Jian's face lit up with excitement, and he trotted over to Zhang Yifan to borrow the hoe. "Grandpa, I want to go outside and dig up some wild vegetables to add to Grandpa's meal tonight. Can you lend me a hoe?"

"Oh~ You kid actually knows how to dig for wild vegetables? Go ahead and take the hoe." Zhang Yifan smiled heartily, seeing his filial grandson.

With Zhang Yifan's nod of approval.

Yang Jian easily picked up the hoe, unlike last time when he couldn't even lift the kitchen knife.

Then, the Dragon Ancestor transformed into a golden light and hid within the Old Ancestor Qilin and Big Black Dog. The Big Black Dog ran ahead, Yang Jian followed behind, and the Nine Golden Crows also flew out of the house.

"You kid just wander around the courtyard and find some wild vegetables. We'll be back soon."

The Old Ancestor Qilin instructed Yang Jian, then concealed the heavenly secrets and transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for the Western Teachings and the Spiritual Mountain treasure land.

Western Teachings, Spiritual Mountain.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun personally arrived, and Heavenly Punishment descended.

All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats were deeply shaken.

"The Journey to the West has restarted, congratulations to the Saints and Buddhas." The Bodhisattvas and Arhats were overjoyed and congratulated Tathagata Buddha one after another.

Tathagata Buddha also smiled and nodded.

But suddenly, Tathagata's smile froze, and he turned furious. "How dare you, you scoundrel!"

All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats felt their hair stand on end, and they saw with horror a giant hoe, as massive as a mountain, descending from the sky and digging down as if weeding!

Tathagata Buddha struck out like lightning, his vast power meeting the hoe.

BOOM!

With this hoe strike, Tathagata Buddha spat blood and was sent flying millions of miles, his meridians shattered!

He couldn't block it at all!

As the hoe dug down, the entire Spiritual Mountain peak was dug off like a bamboo shoot!

Damn it!

Tathagata Buddha, spitting blood, felt his eyelids twitch. If he hadn't dodged quickly just now, he felt he would have died under that hoe!

It was too terrifying!

Tathagata Buddha escaped a calamity, but the Arhats and Bodhisattvas were not so lucky.

Many Arhats and Bodhisattvas hit by the hoe directly perished, their souls scattered and annihilated.

"Damn it, I'll dig to death all you bald donkeys! How dare you bully my Master's grandson!"

The Old Ancestor Qilin swung the hoe, digging ferociously, one hoe strike for each mountain peak, severing the Spiritual Mountain's spiritual roots and earth veins inch by inch. He also dug to death tens of thousands of Arhats and Bodhisattvas, hoe strike by hoe strike.

RUMBLE!

The earth veins snapped, the spiritual veins snapped, and the giant pillar of light shot straight into the sky, attracting the attention of the great figures of the Primordial Era.

Saint Zhunti, Saint Jieyin, Grand Pure Saint, Saint Nuwa, and Primeval Lord of Heaven all turned their gazes towards the Western lands.

The Jade Emperor and the other heavenly gods also looked towards the Western Spiritual Mountain.

Everyone wore strange expressions, full of curiosity and speculation.

"Bastard! Tongtian! You destroyed my Spiritual Mountain, and I will not rest until we are mortal enemies!"

Saint Zhunti, spitting blood in anger, cursed Sect Master Tongtian while raising the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and heading straight for the Spiritual Mountain.

Saint Jieyin also followed suit without a moment's delay, transforming into a meteor and descending towards the West.

"Hahahaha, the destruction of Spiritual Mountain was fated by the Heavenly Dao. What does it have to do with me, Tongtian?" Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily towards the sky.

Pfft!

Hearing Sect Master Tongtian's mockery.

Saint Zhunti spat out a mouthful of old blood, realizing he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

At the Heavenly Court.

Nuwa frowned, puzzled, "Who dared to ambush Spiritual Mountain? And with such ruthless methods, to sever the spiritual and earth veins of the West entirely! And slaughter tens of thousands of the Western Teachings!"

"Someone is obscuring the heavenly secrets. Why don't we go take a look? Then we'll understand," Grand Pure Saint shook his head.

Even Grand Pure Saint, who was most adept at deducing heavenly secrets, couldn't figure it out at this moment; the heavenly secrets were completely veiled.

The Jade Emperor and others were also very confused as to who was making a move.

The great figures of the Primordial Era were also very confused.

They naturally didn't believe Sect Master Tongtian was behind it.

Sect Master Tongtian had just received heavenly punishment and was severely weakened. How could he have destroyed Spiritual Mountain right under their noses?

"Let's go."

Grand Pure Saint, Saint Nuwa, and Primeval Lord of Heaven vanished from their spots instantly, chasing after Saints Jieyin and Zhunti.

The Jade Emperor and the other gods did not join the commotion. Instead, he ordered his people to rebuild the damaged palace and building complexes of the Heavenly Court.

"It's time to go see Father," the Jade Emperor mused to himself.

In the West, at Spiritual Mountain.

All the peaks of Spiritual Mountain had already crumbled.

The entire Spiritual Mountain looked as if it had been plowed over by a bull, shattered and broken, with no intact areas.

Holy crap!

Damn it!

"Aaaargh! Which shameless bastard is it! Get out here, you bastard!"

Saint Zhunti spat out a mouthful of blood, enraged, but he couldn't find the person who had struck.

Saint Jieyin's heart was also bleeding. He was furious and seething with killing intent, wanting to kill someone.

Such ruthless methods, to wipe out the entire stronghold of the Western Teachings in one go!

This was simply too much! Too much!

"It's your Uncle Black! Eat my hoe!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out. A hoe, like the sun and moon hanging in the sky, blotted out the sun and descended towards the old scoundrel Zhunti's forehead!

The aura of death washed over him!

Saint Zhunti's eyes widened in rage, his scalp tingling, and his eyelids twitching!
