Guang Chengzi's Tragic Trampling

In the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Venerable Primordial had been staring intently in the direction of the East Sea.

But for some unknown reason, the East Sea seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

Even he, a Saint, could not see through it. His message to Guang Chengzi had also vanished without a trace.

Venerable Primordial closed his eyes, and images of the Primordial World flashed through his mind.

He could see the trajectories of all things, yet the East Sea was like a blank space that he could not divine.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a bad premonition striking him.

"Burning Lamp, go quickly and rescue Guang Chengzi!"

Giant waves churned on the East Sea. Guang Chengzi used his escape light, streaking across the water, and the Male-Female Sword in his hand sliced through a leaping sea beast.

Blood immediately dyed the seawater red, and countless fish and shrimp scrambled to tear at the falling flesh.

Guang Chengzi poured all his strength into his escape divine ability, flying tens of millions of miles in the blink of an eye.

He could vaguely see the coastline. As long as he escaped the East Sea's domain, he would be free.

Whoosh!

A pearl emitting blue light shot towards his back with lightning speed.

Guang Chengzi turned and unleashed a sword light, which collided with the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.

Under the power of the four seas wielded by the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, he was sent flying backward, even closer to the coastline!

Splash!

The seawater suddenly churned, raising a colossal wave that formed a watery cage, trapping Guang Chengzi.

The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls formed a formation, making the water defense unbreakable.

With no other choice, Guang Chengzi once again brought out the Fan Tian Seal, which transformed into a mountain and crashed towards the water cage.

The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls lit up simultaneously, absorbing the impact of the blow, though ripples spread across the water walls.

If the Fan Tian Seal was unparalleled in its offensive power, being the most rigid and strong, then the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were the most yin and soft.

Using softness to overcome hardness!

Seeing that even his trump cards could not break him free, Guang Chengzi could only retract the Fan Tian Seal and taunt Zhao Gongming and San Xiao from outside.

"Hmph, relying on the power of magic treasures, what kind of heroes are you?"

"Ganging up on me, do you dare to have a fair and square duel with me?"

As Guang Chengzi provoked them, he observed his surroundings.

If they agreed, he would immediately find an opportunity to escape.

He was gambling on the pride and arrogance of the Jie Cult disciples.

Zhao Gongming and San Xiao sneered. If it were in the past, they might have fallen for such a trick.

But now, they had been completely reborn!

"You scum of the Chan Sect, die!"

Bixiao swung her small fists and charged forward first.

Ever since the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect had landed on the island, she had been seething with anger.

The words of ridicule and mockery directed at their Senior Disciple Brother still echoed in her ears.

Bang, bang, bang!

The battle erupted. Guang Chengzi, who had been confident of victory, was stunned.

What happened to the one-on-one fight he had requested? Why had it turned into a group beating? In just a few breaths, he had taken countless blows.

As intense pain coursed through him, his face had already swollen into a pig's head.

"You... you're so despicable!"

Guang Chengzi slurred, pointing at Zhao Gongming and the others in anger.

Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and Qiongxiao were also full of pent-up rage. Ignoring his accusations, they rained blows down on him.

The dignified enlightened immortal fought like a common ruffian, each punch landing with full force.

"Enough!"

Guang Chengzi roared and forced the four of them back with a few sword strikes.

As a disciple of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage from the Chan Sect, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? He prepared to fight with his life on the line.

"Hurry!"

A golden bell flew out of his mouth and hovered above his head. A ringing sound echoed within the cage.

The Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Falling Spirit Bell, its chime could make one lose their soul.

As expected, Zhao Gongming and San Xiao's eyes glazed over upon hearing the chime. This was his chance to counter-kill.

Guang Chengzi threw out the Fan Tian Seal, pouring all his magic power into it. Instantly, the entire East Sea was obscured by a colossal mountain range.

BOOM!

After a world-shattering roar, a tsunami was triggered, with monstrous waves carrying immense power sweeping over everything on the sea's surface.

CRACK!

The formation of twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls shattered abruptly, and Guang Chengzi seized the opportunity to flee.

The Primordial World was already close. Once he reached the shore, he could use other escape techniques to shake off his pursuers.

"I'm out..."

Guang Chengzi took his final step, about to set foot on the land of the Primordial World, feeling a surge of pride.

He had fought four Quasi-Saints alone and escaped; that was enough to brag about for a lifetime.

At this moment, he even felt that Ye Changqing's feat of defeating three Quasi-Saints with a single sword was nothing more than this.

He felt like he was back in his prime!

WHOOSH!

The next moment, Guang Chengzi felt an invisible hand grab him from behind. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free and was pulled back.

"Primordial Unity Golden Dou!"

Yunxiao let out a delicate cry and, along with Qiongxiao, unleashed their spiritual treasure.

The Primordial Unity Golden Dou possessed immense spatial divine power, its capacity as vast as the universe and the four seas.

This dou existed since the creation of heaven and earth, was infinitely mysterious, could contain all treasures in existence, and possessed an irresistible suction force for capturing immortals and objects. Once its golden light appeared, escape was impossible.

Guang Chengzi felt a flash of gold and was immediately pulled back into the East Sea, followed by a beating from the others.

Zhao Gongming and San Xiao followed Ye Changqing's instructions: just keep him alive so he could be sent back.

The group played with Guang Chengzi like a cat with a mouse, tormenting him both physically and mentally.

CRUNCH, CRUNCH!

San Xiao wielded the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, shredding Guang Chengzi's body bit by bit until only his head remained.

"What are you doing?"

Guang Chengzi saw the cold smirk on Zhao Gongming's lips and had a terrible premonition, asking with a trembling voice.

Zhao Gongming chuckled, condensed his magic power in his foot, and kicked Guang Chengzi's head away like a ball.

"Ah..."

Guang Chengzi's shrill scream echoed through the heavens, making one's scalp tingle.

If Ye Changqing hadn't instructed them to spare his life, he would have already perished.

After all, the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation had not yet begun, and they had not yet completely fallen out with Venerable Primordial.

Nominally, the Chan Sect and the Jie Cult were still united.

Zhao Gongming and San Xiao's faces were filled with smiles. It turned out that ganging up on someone was so much fun.

They began to imagine the future scene of the Jie Cult's Myriad Immortals overwhelming the Chan Sect disciples.

The sheer number of disciples was the Jie Cult's advantage; why fight them one-on-one?

Thinking of the Ten Heavenly Lords, those guys who only knew how to set up formations and wait for others to break them, they felt they were practically fools.

Meanwhile, Daoist Randeng, under orders from Venerable Primordial, had arrived at the coast of the East Sea to await Guang Chengzi's arrival.

But he waited for a long time without seeing any sign of Guang Chengzi.

Suddenly, Ye Changqing's sword strike inexplicably flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shiver.

If Ye Changqing were still alive, wouldn't he be walking into his own doom?

This made Daoist Randeng abandon the idea of investigating Three Immortal Island.

Just as he was about to lose patience, a beam of light streaked across the sky and flew directly towards him.

"Could it be some spiritual treasure?"

Daoist Randeng was overjoyed, feeling incredibly lucky.

But when he used his magic power to block the stream of light and met Guang Chengzi's eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Guang Chengzi suddenly shouted, "Teacher, quickly report to Master..."

"Huang Long... he's a traitor!"
