Above Longevity Mountain, at the Five Villages Monastery.

Zhao Gongming unleashed his Great Accomplishment Sacred Body divine ability, shattering the void with a single punch.

He rushed with all his might, finally arriving at the scene before things spiraled completely out of control. However, when he saw the situation before him clearly, he couldn't help but cover his face.

"It's over... I'm still a step too late."

Before the Five Villages Monastery, the atmosphere was tense and on the verge of exploding. Zhen Yuanzi held the Earth Book, with the Innate Wutu Great Formation hovering above his head. He firmly protected Ancestor Hongyun behind him, glaring furiously at the three people opposite him.

"Di Jun, Di Jiang, East King Duke!"

"You three shameless scoundrels!"

"You usually fight each other to the death, yet today you've teamed up just to covet my sworn brother's Primordial Violet Qi?!"

"The temptation of Primordial Violet Qi is indeed great enough to make sworn enemies like you band together!"

Ancestor Hongyun's face was also ashen. He tightly gripped the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.

Facing their furious reprimands, Di Jun showed no guilt. Instead, he took a step forward, his Golden Armor shimmering with radiance, exuding an imposing aura.

"Hmph, enough of the nonsense!"

"In the battle for the Great Dao, it's either advance or fall behind!"

"Today, whether you give it willingly or not, you will give up this Primordial Violet Qi!"

The East King Duke was even more arrogant. He slowly put on those two golden magic treasures. He sneered at Zhen Yuanzi, his eyes sinister.

"Zhen Yuanzi, don't think you're invincible just because you have the Earth Book."

"I hope... you won't be begging for mercy later!"

Zhen Yuanzi was furious. The Earth Book in his hand shone brightly, connecting with the earth veins of the Primordial World. A thick, earth-yellow light screen enveloped the two.

"Arrogant!"

"As long as the Earth Book is here, I stand undefeated on the earth!"

"Even if a Sage were to come, they wouldn't be able to break through my defenses easily!"

"I am invincible!"

Just as both sides were exchanging threats... Di Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spat impatiently.

"Ptooey!"

"What's the point of wasting words with them?"

"They're just bullying you because you believe in reason!"

"I, Di Jiang, am different. I don't reason, I have no shame, I'll go first!"

Before his voice even faded, Di Jiang's figure flashed, and the Space Law activated. The next moment, to Zhen Yuanzi's utter horror... Di Jiang ignored the light screen of the Earth Book, which was said to offer absolute defense, and passed straight through it, appearing at Ancestor Hongyun's feet.

"What?!"

"How did he get in?!"

Zhen Yuanzi was completely stunned. This Earth Book's defense couldn't even be broken by someone at the Quasi-Saint peak, yet Di Jiang entered as easily as walking into his own home? Before he could react... Di Jiang skillfully took out a stretcher, threw it on the ground, then lay down on it, tightly hugging Ancestor Hongyun's legs.

"Ouch, I've been hit!"

"Ancestor Hongyun hit me!"

"You can't leave without giving me the Primordial Violet Qi! My legs are broken, my heart is shattered, pay up!"

Ancestor Hongyun stared at the burly man rolling around at his feet, completely dumbfounded.

"This... Is this some kind of joke?"

"You're an Ancestor Witch, can you have some dignity?"

Ancestor Hongyun was annoyed and raised his foot to kick Di Jiang away.

"Get lost, don't touch me!"

However, BOOM!

Just as Hong Yun was about to dodge, a Purple Firmament Divine Thunder fell from the sky, striking him squarely on the forehead.

"Ah!"

Hong Yun was scorched black and stunned on the spot.

"What... what kind of strange magic treasure is this?!"

"Careful, brother!"

Zhen Yuanzi was about to rush to Hong Yun's aid when a golden figure instantly blocked his path.

Di Jun, clad in armor, spread his arms wide, a smug, infuriating expression on his face.

"Come hit me, idiot!"

"If you want to save Hong Yun, you'll have to get past me first!"

"Hit me hard, right here!"

Zhen Yuanzi, anxious to save his friend, didn't have time to think.

The fly-whisk in his hand transformed into countless threads, imbued with the power of the earth's veins, and lashed out fiercely at Di Jun.

"Get out of my way!"

The terrifying attack landed on Di Jun.

However, not only was Di Jun unharmed, he let out a blush-inducing, heart-pounding groan.

"Ah~ So good!"

All the attacks were like a clay ox entering the sea, utterly incapable of harming Di Jun.

Zhen Yuanzi was shocked. He looked at the unharmed Di Jun, then at Hong Yun being struck by lightning.

"Where... where did they get so many bizarre and strange magic treasures?!"

Just as Zhen Yuanzi's mind faltered...

Suddenly, he felt a chilling sensation behind him that made his soul tremble.

East King Duke stood in the distance, forming a hand seal, his signature perverted smile on his face as he roared loudly.

"Secret Art, I Unleash--Muddy Dragon Enters the Sea!!"

Spatial fluctuations arose again. Zhen Yuanzi couldn't defend, nor did he have time to.

Squelch!

A dull thud of flesh being pierced.

"Owwwww!!!"

An indescribable, all-encompassing pain, surging straight to the crown of his head, erupted instantly from an unmentionable area.

Zhen Yuanzi, this accomplished True Immortal, let out a shrill scream.

He instantly lost all his strength and means. The Earth Book's light dimmed, and his fly-whisk fell to the ground.

Thump!

Zhen Yuanzi lay stiffly on the ground, clutching his backside tightly with both hands, trembling violently, cold sweat pouring down his forehead like rain.

He struggled to lift his head, his eyes unfocused. He pointed at East King Duke, who remained in the Thousand Kills pose, and stammered, "You... you're shameless!"

"Despicable, vulgar!"

In just a short while, the Primordial World's famous kind-hearted duo had one utterly demoralized and the other wishing for death.

An utter rout!

Zhao Gongming, standing on the clouds, looked at the chaotic, tragic scene before him and sighed helplessly.

"What a sin..."

"What is all this?!"

"If I let them continue like this, I'll get too entangled in karma!"

Zhao Gongming no longer hesitated. He gathered his full magical power and roared, "All of you, stop!"

His shout was like a clap of thunder.

The three individuals, preparing to press their advantage, paused and turned to look at Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming's face was stern as he threatened, "Esteemed seniors, if you continue to use the magic treasures I refined to do such wicked deeds and rob people!"

"I will never refine magic treasures for you again!"

"I keep my word. I wouldn't refine it even if the materials piled up into a mountain!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the effect was immediate.

This was their Achilles' heel!

Having tasted the benefits, who would be willing to go back to using those ordinary Innate Spirit Treasures?

Di Jiang instantly sprang to his feet, put away the stretcher, brushed the dirt off his clothes, and said with an air of righteousness.

"Ahem, nephew, don't be angry!"

"You know me. I'm completely uninterested in Primordial Violet Qi!"

"I was just... just passing by, and happened to be sparring with my old friend Hongyun to practice our acting. Yes, practice acting!"

Di Jun also quickly deactivated the special effects on his armor, tidied his hair, and put on an innocent expression.

"Nephew, you know me."

"I just really wanted to show off the function of my magic treasure, and I got carried away for a moment."

"I have the utmost respect for fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi. What just happened was... it was a loving caress."

East King Duke even hid his magic treasure behind his back, looking utterly guileless.

"Nephew, you know me."

"I'm a person with little willpower, easily swayed. I'm soft-hearted."

"They corrupted me, both of them. It's not my fault, really!"

Looking at these three Primordial World overlords who changed their expressions in an instant and threw the blame at each other.

Zhao Gongming's mouth twitched. His gaze swept over the three of them, and he couldn't help but retort.

"Alright then..."

"So, it seems..."

"The three senior uncles... each possess unique skills?"
