The Three Pure Ones Battle a Quasi-Saint!

You were the one who forced Jieyin and Zhunti to hand over their treasures, and now you're putting on an innocent act.

Shameless!

How the hell is this monkey so damn shameless!

Ye Jun grinned as he looked at Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"Two Daoist Friends, do you still want this Gourd Vine?" Ye Jun asked with a look of contempt.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were locked in a fierce inner struggle—this Gourd Vine was an Innate Spiritual Root!

To say they weren't tempted would be a lie!

But the situation before them was simply too much to handle.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, I just recalled that the Demon Race still has some unresolved matters. I'll be taking my leave now." Di Jun gave an awkward smile and said.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi could only try to appease Ye Jun as well.

There was no choice—after all, Ye Jun was the only Quasi-Saint here right now, and his strength outmatched theirs!

If they didn't bow their heads now, leaving might not be so simple later.

Hadn't they just seen how miserably Jieyin and Zhunti had departed?

Ye Jun raised an eyebrow. Not bad—these two at least had some sense!

"This really... ah, I don't know what to say. Since it's a major matter for the Demon Race, I won't keep you two Daoist Friends." Ye Jun waved his hand magnanimously.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi turned and left without another word—this place was unbearable.

Had they come to Buzhou Mountain just for the Gourd Vine? Even if they couldn't get it, they couldn't afford to lose anything else.

Otherwise, it would be a complete loss.

Only after Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had distanced themselves from Buzhou Mountain did Ye Jun slowly turn to face the Three Pure Ones.

These three were the tricky ones to handle!

"Three Daoist Friends?" Ye Jun raised an eyebrow in inquiry.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly and said, "Ye Jun, Buzhou Mountain isn't yours alone. The three of us only want three gourds from this vine!"

"Daoist Friend Yuanshi, it seems you didn't hear clearly earlier. I said—this Gourd Vine is all mine." Ye Jun spoke slowly.

Though a smile lingered on Ye Jun's face, his hand gripped the God-Slaying Spear tightly, its icy shaft faintly chilling.

"Impossible. Everyone who sees it gets a share. Those two old bald donkeys, Jieyin and Zhunti, might fear you, but the three of us do not!" Yuanshi Tianzun roared angrily.

They, the Three Pure Ones, were the Pangu Orthodox. The will of Pangu on Buzhou Mountain even granted them some advantage.

Though all three were only at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, Ye Jun was merely a newly broken-through Quasi-Saint.

Could he really take on three at once?

Yuanshi Tianzun refused to believe it!

"Fine, then let's fight!" Ye Jun said lightly, thrusting the God-Slaying Spear straight at Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!" Yuanshi Tianzun barked, and a translucent jade ruyi slowly emerged above his head.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi shimmered with Great Dao Laws, and Yuanshi Tianzun himself became suffused with Dao Rhyme.

Ye Jun sneered, his mana surging as the God-Slaying Spear once again transformed into a long dragon hurtling toward Yuanshi Tianzun.

In an instant, the God-Slaying Spear clashed directly with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar rang out, and everyone saw a figure blasted straight off the peak of Buzhou Mountain.

"The might of a Quasi-Saint—how dare you lot provoke it?" Ye Jun descended slowly, the Sha Qi on the God-Slaying Spear even heavier than before!

The assembled Gods and Devils stared in stunned silence.

"This... is this the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?"

Taishang Laojun and Tongtian both drew sharp breaths. This monkey's strength had become even more terrifying after breaking through to Quasi-Saint.

"Brother, attack!" Tongtian said in a low voice.

At a time like this, there was no room for retreat!

Tongtian formed a seal with one hand, and the Qing Ping Sword transformed into a beam of green light shooting into the sky.

Taishang Laojun held nothing back either, offering up both the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Coiled Dragon Staff.

The three spiritual treasures instantly stirred up a massive storm of spiritual power atop Buzhou Mountain, and Ye Jun, at the storm's center, was surrounded by danger!

When two of the Three Pure Ones joined forces, few beings in all of the Primordial World could escape unscathed.

Ye Jun, however, merely snorted coldly. Taking a deep breath, the Sha Qi of the God-Slaying Spear swelled, and his own body became wreathed in Sha Qi.

He was the very image of a god of slaughter descending upon the world!

Ye Jun let out a furious roar, and the dense Sha Qi around him coalesced into a massive palm print, its center smashing straight toward Tongtian and Taishang Laojun.

The mere Sha Qi radiating from Ye Jun was enough to fill all of Buzhou Mountain with a killing intent.

Before Taishang Laojun could even steady himself, this palm strike suddenly came hurtling toward him.

"Not good!" Taishang Laojun cried out in alarm, his hands swiftly forming several hand seals. The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda abruptly returned to hover above his head.

Instantly, vast Xuanhuang Qi billowed around the pagoda, erecting a barrier condensed from Xuanhuang Qi directly around his body, attempting to block this palm strike.

Although the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda was the foremost innate merit treasure of the primordial era, with defenses that defied the heavens, throughout all of the primordial wilderness, one could scarcely find a few treasures whose defensive capabilities could rival the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Yet, while this treasure was indeed a fine one, at this moment Ye Jun had already reached the Quasi-Saint cultivation level. On the path of cultivation, each step was a climb to a higher realm.

The density of Spiritual Energy at the Quasi-Saint level was something a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal could never hope to match.

Struck by Ye Jun's Sha Qi with devastating force, the body of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda trembled once, and Taishang Laojun was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

Tongtian narrowed his eyes. So this is the gap between a Quasi-Saint and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal?

The Three Pure Ones were the Pangu Orthodox, at the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, wielding numerous spiritual treasures.

And now, they even held the advantage of terrain at Buzhou Mountain—yet still, they could not bridge the chasm between a Quasi-Saint and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Seeing Taishang Laojun blasted away, Ye Jun clapped his hands and turned his gaze to Tongtian.

"The Three Pure Ones—only you, Daoist Friend, remain!" Ye Jun said with a sneer of disdain.

What of the Three Pure Ones?

Aren't they still my defeated foes?

By now, Tongtian was gnashing his teeth in hatred for Ye Jun. If only his own strength were sufficient, he would have charged forward long ago to fight this Monkey to the death!

"In the struggle for the Gourd Vine, the Three Pure Ones withdraw!" Tongtian said in a low voice.

Hearing Tongtian's words, Ye Jun nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it.

Saves me the trouble of making a move.

Tongtian's expression was extremely grim. He walked over to Taishang Laojun, helped him up, and then, carrying the already unconscious Yuanshi Tianzun, transformed into a streak of light and departed.

"Alright, the last three flies have left. Everyone, in this Buzhou Mountain, only a few of us remain," Ye Jun said with a smile.

At this moment, Ye Jun wore a harmless, innocent smile, as if he were not the one who had just sent Yuanshi Tianzun flying with a single palm strike, and shattered the combined efforts of Taishang Laojun and Tongtian.
