Sensing the overwhelming aura of slaughter, Randeng remained remarkably calm.
When it came to magical treasures, he possessed two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and one Postnatal Treasure of Merit; in terms of cultivation, he was already at the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Minghe had the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, while he had the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
The only drawback was that Randeng's comprehension of the Creation Law was not deep enough at this moment, and he had yet to form the nascent stage of the Reincarnation Great Dao.
Randeng finally moved. The cultivation of his mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal was no longer concealed. He formed hand seals, channeling his magical power into the Primordial Chaos Heaven Measuring Ruler to meet the two swords of slaughter.
The blood-colored light blades, like a tidal wave of blood, were absorbed and annihilated by the space within the Primordial Chaos Heaven Measuring Ruler the moment they came into contact with it.
Randeng knew that the space within his Primordial Chaos Heaven Measuring Ruler was no ordinary space; it was the nascent form of a world, which was why he could place Innate Spiritual Roots within it.
"Mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal? How could you cultivate so quickly?"
Minghe's tone was filled with surprise. Since his Form Transformation, he had been in seclusion in the Sea of Blood, cultivating and comprehending the Law of Blood through the Blood Sea Great Array.
He prided himself on being the fastest-rising Innate Divine Saint in the Great Desolation. He never expected an unknown Daoist to have already advanced to the mid-stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal before him.
Randeng chuckled lightly, "Fellow Daoist, your Sea of Blood is vast, yet also too small!"
Since his Form Transformation and emergence into the world, he had cultivated the Earth Veins, gained Merit, participated in great gatherings, and defeated Tai Yi. His current cultivation was achieved step by step through his foresight and advantage. Why would Minghe assume that arduous cultivation would necessarily lead to higher cultivation?
Minghe discovered that the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword could not harm Randeng. The surrounding sea of karmic fire immediately erupted, and endless karmic flames surged towards Randeng, attempting to incite the Karmic Power on Randeng and the desires in his heart.
However, the Precious Mirror of Merit in Randeng's Primordial Spirit emitted a golden light. The Golden Light of Merit firmly protected Randeng's Primordial Spirit, preventing the karmic flames from encroaching upon his Spiritual Platform.
"How can you not have any Karmic Power on you?"
Minghe found it hard to believe. All living beings would inevitably accumulate some Karmic Power.
Randeng grinned but did not reply. Karmic Power, of course, everyone had it. Even obtaining Spiritual Treasures and Spiritual Roots would incur Karmic Power, but Randeng had abundant Merit, which he could spend to offset the Karmic Power.
Seeing that none of his three Spiritual Treasures were effective, Minghe secretly pondered how he had encountered this Innate Divine Saint who perfectly countered him today.
However, Minghe did not give up. He formed hand seals, and a phantom image of the endless Sea of Blood appeared behind him. Then, his entire being silently shattered, transforming into countless Blood God Sons, which plunged into the phantom image.
The Sea of Blood shifted from illusory to real, surging into the surrounding karmic fire space. This was a divine ability cultivated by Minghe by combining his four hundred eighty million Blood God Son clones, named Body Transformation into Sea of Blood. In the depths of the Dao, it could leverage a trace of the Sea of Blood's authority to empower himself.
Upon contact with the waters of the Sea of Blood, Randeng immediately felt his protective golden light being eroded. The Sea of Blood, as the primary place in the Great Desolation for processing all negative and defiled matters, had erosion and attrition as its most crucial abilities.
If it were allowed to breach his protective golden light, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal's body would be completely worn away in a short time.
"This is bad. Minghe's Body Transformation into Sea of Blood is extremely bizarre. Fellow Daoist Randeng might be in trouble."
Tongtian watched anxiously from the side.
"Don't rush, Third Brother. Haven't you noticed that Fellow Daoist Randeng hasn't launched any proactive attacks? It means he's handling this battle with ease."
Taishang restrained the restless Tongtian and explained to him.
Taishang was right. Randeng had been passively defending since the start of his confrontation with Minghe. The main reason was that he wanted to test his own strength among the Innate Divine Saints of the Great Desolation.
Minghe was the perfect candidate: top-tier origins and outstanding magical treasures. In the Great Desolation, he was almost on par with the Three Pure Ones. If one only considered offensive power at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, the Three Pure Ones might not even be stronger than him.
By this point in the battle, Randeng had a rough idea. Within the same great realm, he was almost fearless of any Innate Divine Saint.
He lightly tapped his finger, and the Jade Void Glazed Lamp shone brightly, emitting the Eternal Golden Flame, which collided with the Sea of Blood. The Eternal Golden Flame contained purifying power, specifically countering filth.
As the Eternal Golden Flame fell into the Sea of Blood, strange phenomena erupted. The bloody seawater seemed to boil, constantly evaporating.
On the other side, Randeng's hand seals changed again. A phantom world appeared behind the Primordial Chaos Heaven Measuring Ruler, carrying the weight of a world, and smashed fiercely towards the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword.
The two swords of slaughter let out a mournful cry but were still struggling to hold on.
Seeing this, Randeng activated the Merit in his Primordial Spirit and injected it into the Treasure Dropping Golden Coin. The pair of cloud wings immediately brightened.
The Three Pure Ones only saw a flash of golden light on the battlefield, and then Minghe's Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword were knocked to the ground.
The Treasure Dropping Golden Coin had also unleashed its divine ability for the first time, not disappointing Randeng.
Simultaneously, within the Spirit Coffin Palace Lamp, the Netherworld Ghost Fire transformed into a gray fire dragon, lunging straight at Minghe and drilling into his forehead.
Minghe's entire focus was on controlling the Sea of Blood and confronting Randeng. When the Netherworld Ghost Fire invaded his Spiritual Platform and burned his Primordial Spirit, he let out a scream of agony.
Randeng seized the opportunity to circulate the Primordial Chaos Heaven Measuring Ruler, smashing it fiercely at Minghe's body. In his haste, Minghe only managed to recall the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to form a barrier to resist.
With a crack, the barrier formed by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus shattered. Minghe was sent flying, crashing heavily into the mountain wall. The entire valley, except for the area where the Innate Banana Tree was located, was destroyed.
Minghe was defeated, and the Karmic Fire space dissipated. The entire valley returned to clarity.
"How about it? Fellow Daoist Minghe, you lost this time, didn't you?"
Randeng's eyes were calm, as if defeating Minghe was a trivial matter.
Minghe could accept being defeated, but he couldn't stand Randeng's indifferent expression. He snorted coldly, "Fellow Daoist Randeng, don't celebrate too early. Three Aeons in the east of the river, three Aeons in the west of the river. Don't bully Minghe for being poor!"
Randeng couldn't help but touch his nose. Was Minghe treating him as a villain?
Then, Minghe transformed into a blood-red light and fled, leaving Buzhou Mountain and heading towards his Sea of Blood.
Minghe secretly vowed that this time, he would not leave the Sea of Blood until he cultivated to the Primordial Golden Immortal stage.
Seeing Randeng defeat Minghe, the Three Pure Ones stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
"Haha, I knew Fellow Daoist Randeng could easily take down that Minghe."
Yuanshi let out a loud laugh. He was someone who placed great importance on origins. Minghe was merely formed from Father God Pangu's umbilical cord and filthy blood. How could he be compared to the Three Pure Ones?
At this moment, the Four Symbols Banana Fans finally matured and emerged. The four banana fans, colored red, yellow, blue, and green, detached from their source and shot out towards the outside world.
Randeng and the Three Pure Ones all made their move, each unleashing their divine abilities to envelop a banana fan.
Randeng had his sights set on the Earth Attribute Banana Fan. The Primordial Chaos Heaven Measuring Ruler sealed the surrounding space, allowing Randeng to easily seize the fan and imprint his Primordial Spirit onto it.
The Earth Attribute Banana Fan was a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, possessing thirty-six Innate Restrictions and the divine ability to move mountains and suppress peaks.
One fan could stabilize a thousand mountains and valleys, a second could move the five sacred mountains and spiritual veins, and a third could draw upon the Earth Veins' dragon energy to suppress all aerial flight and spatial movement techniques.
Not only that, but Randeng could also comprehend the laws of Earth with the Earth Attribute Banana Fan, accelerating his cultivation speed.
The Three Pure Ones also obtained their respective banana fans. Taishang acquired the Fire Attribute Banana Fan, Tongtian obtained the Water Attribute Banana Fan, and Yuanshi received the Wind Attribute Banana Fan.
