The Battle of Eight Saints

With reincarnation and the establishment of the Underworld, the Underworld gradually became perfect, or more accurately, it is already perfect, just like Hongjun merging with the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao is perfect, and what remains are just some details.

At this moment, the entire Primordial Wilderness trembled, and then a misty Purple Qi appeared between heaven and earth. The Three Thousand Great Daos appeared in the Primordial Wilderness, and the Heaven Realm released supreme divine power, illuminating heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the Star Dou began to operate at full capacity, the Five Directions Innate Banners manifested, the celestial canopy laid out by Donghua opened, and the immense Power of Stars descended from the sky, sprinkling across the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao reigns supreme, its Great Dao Power permeating the Sky Vault, forming boundless waves of energy, with the forces of rules intertwining.

The Primordial Wilderness has once again witnessed a transformation of heaven and earth!

Sweet dew fell from the sky, golden flowers bloomed in abundance, Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth, and countless spiritual energies surged forth, benefiting countless living beings, some gaining sentience, others taking human form.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Attain Hunyuan Dao Houtu Dao!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Attain Hunyuan Dao Houtu Dao!"

"..."

Donghua glanced at the people of Heavenly Court and gave them a meaningful look. The people of Heavenly Court immediately understood.

"We pay our respects to the Great Earth Virtuous Reincarnation Great Emperor, and the Earth Mother Heavenly Venerate!"

"We pay our respects to the Great Earth Virtuous Reincarnation Great Emperor, and the Earth Mother Heavenly Venerate!"

Shouts echoed throughout the heavens and earth, simultaneously heralding the start of the battle for reincarnation in the underworld!

Donghua smiled slightly. You should know that Houtu also has another identity as one of the Six Imperial Sovereigns of Heavenly Court. Therefore, the authority over the Underworld and Reincarnation cannot bypass Heavenly Court no matter what.

Just then, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti arrived at Donghua's side, and Houtu flew up, with the eight of them standing on different sides!

At this point, the eight Primordial Wilderness Hun Yuan were gathered together.

The eight people looked at each other, but none of them spoke. However, an invisible aura began to emanate from the Sky Vault above the Blood Sea.

This time, the situation is different from others. It could be said that an eight- Hun Yuan battle could easily break out, which is an unprecedented event since the beginning of the Primordial World.

If that were to happen, the previous wars Three Clans War and Immortal-Demon War would be nothing!

However, everyone who was watching the battle fled, except for a few Quasi-Saint Great Powers retreated to their own worlds or magical treasures, wanting to witness this grand battle!

The eight men's aura continued to rise, as if they were about to make a move at any moment.

Just then, Houtu squinted and smiled at the Three Pure Ones and the others, saying jokingly, "Thank you all for personally witnessing my Saint, but now that everything is settled, is there anything else you wish to do while you stay? Would you like me to host a banquet for you fellow Daoists?"

"If that's the case, then give me some time, and I will certainly prepare a grand banquet to satisfy all of you fellow Daoists!"

Upon hearing this, everyone remained expressionless, except for Donghua, who smiled nonchalantly, as if he understood nothing at all.

The Taishang's face remained calm as he softly said, "As the chief disciple of my master and the head of the Mystic Sect, I, the Human Teachings, should rightfully hold the authority over the Underworld and Reincarnation to assist all sentient beings in their reincarnation!"

"The same applies to the Chan Teachings!" Yuanshi Tianzun spoke coldly and arrogantly, his voice devoid of joy or sorrow, but his attitude was firm and brooked no argument.

Tongtian, dressed in a black Daoist robe with his hands behind his back, and with five swords faintly appearing around him, gave Donghua and the other two an awkward smile.

Although Tongtian didn't say anything, his smile revealed his stance. After all, the Three Pure Ones as One were now united, and at such a crucial moment, how could Tongtian possibly stand idly by?

The other two, Jieyin and Zhunti, didn't say anything, but their eyes were piercing, clearly indicating that they also didn't want to give up their authority over the underworld and reincarnation.

Seeing their attitude, Donghua's heart turned cold. He knew this matter was not simple. He thought that Three Pure Ones and the others would be wary of him, but he didn't expect it to be wishful thinking.

He thought his appearance would shatter the arrogance of the Three Pure Ones, but he didn't expect that the three of them would still be the same as before, their personalities unchanged, always believing that they were the true lineage and the supreme ruler of Heaven.

Even he himself was nothing in their eyes; they would only think that Donghua was lucky enough to surpass them in cultivation, otherwise he was nothing.

Donghua took a deep breath, a rare sense of ease appearing on his face. Time seemed to have returned to the moment when he had just been reborn, the only difference being that he now had a firmer resolve in his heart and a colder look in his eyes.

Nuwa sneered, "The Three Pure Ones? The Pangu Orthodox Lineage? Why didn't you dare say such things when the Twelve Ancestor Witches were all present? Now you keep mentioning them all the time? My three senior brothers are truly quite capable!"

The Yuanshi Tianzun's expression turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Nuwa, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

When the Lich Kings were at their most powerful, even the Three Pure Ones had to retreat. Cultivating Daoism in Kunlun was a result of necessity.

It wasn't until Hongjun's three lectures ended that the Three Pure Ones' status became increasingly transcendent, and the Three Pure Ones Witch and Demon Races selectively forgot about them, resulting in a situation where they did not interfere with each other.

Only by combining the power of the Mystic Sect and the fortune of Pangu could the Three Pure Ones surpass the Wu and Witch and Monster Two Clans in strength, and in terms of individual cultivation, they were unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness, making them the far leaders.

Upon hearing Nuwa's mockery, Yuanshi Tianzun's face instantly fell, and a chill could be sensed by anyone.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, don't think that just because you were the first to attain Attain Sainthood you can say whatever you want. Be careful what you say!"

Nuwa smiled disdainfully and said mockingly, "If you are not convinced, we can have a battle in the Chaos."

"Then let's have a chaotic battle!" Yuanshi Tianzun was not one to back down from trouble; after Attain Sainthood, he was fearless.

"War!"

As soon as the words fell, the eight beings—Sanqing, Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Donghua, Nuwa, and Houtu— flew together towards Chaos!

Deep within the chaos, beyond the Outer Demonic Realm, a hazy, Chaos Qi permeates the air, forming a raging Chaos Storm that relentlessly obliterates everything within it. Even a Daluo Golden Immortal would tremble with fear upon arriving here.

Meanwhile, Donghua and the other eight Hun Yuan stood in the chaos, completely unaffected. Their powerful aura prevented the Chaos Storm from getting close, and even squeezed the surrounding chaos, with faint traces of Earth Fire Water Wind appearing.

Eight Hun Yuan, Three Factions!

The Three Pure Ones are one school!

The Jieyin and Zhunti and Zhunti!

The Donghua, Nuwa, and Houtu faction!

In terms of both numbers and strength, Donghua has a clear advantage and is the strongest faction.

The downside is that the strongest party is often the one targeted by a united front.

As expected, after a short standoff, the combined auras of the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints gradually merged, pressing down on Donghua and his companions with all their might.

Meanwhile, some Quasi-Saint Great Powers also arrived in the chaos to witness this grand battle.

"Bodhi Old Ancestor? Senior Bodhi?" As soon as Chaos emerged from the place, a group of Great Emperor and Emperor Lord from the Heavenly Court gathered here. Among them, Yuan Jin looked at a space to the side and couldn't help but exclaim.

Bodhi wore a black and white Daoist robe, his hair and beard were silver-white, and a simple Daoist crown tied up his full head of silver hair, making him look free and natural.

However, when Bodhi Old Ancestor heard someone call out his real name, he immediately became unsettled and prepared to flee.

He originally didn't want to come to Chaos, but the battle between the eight Hun Yuan was too tempting, so he couldn't resist and came here.

He thought that few people in the Primordial Wilderness would recognize him now, but he didn't expect to be recognized as soon as he arrived.

Bodhi, who originally intended to flee, dared not escape after seeing the group from the Heavenly Court, because an aura locked onto him, and further escape would be futile.

The West Queen Mother gathered all her power, and the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation between her brows locked onto Bodhi. If it weren't for Yuan Jin's exclamation, he wouldn't have noticed that there was such a powerful expert around.

Late Stage Quasi-Saint!

Or rather, the Peak Quasi-Saint!

Because the West Queen Mother sensed a threat from Bodhi, this person was definitely not simple.

Seeing that fleeing was not an option, Bodhi Old Ancestor decided to reveal himself openly. In truth, he had nothing to fear; with his own strength, he was confident that he could handle anything unless it was Hunyuan Saint.

"So it's Elder Yuan Jin! It's been so many years! You've grown from a little girl to what you are now!" Bodhi Old Ancestor looked at the people from the Heavenly Court, and finally fixed his gaze on Yuan Jin.

Yuan Jin was slightly excited upon seeing Bodhi Old Ancestor. He slowly stepped forward, carefully examined Bodhi Old Ancestor, and finally sighed, "I never imagined that I would meet Senior Patriarch Bodhi in my lifetime. Truly, life is unpredictable!"

"When the Kunwu Divine Court was destroyed, I thought you had perished at the hands of Shen Ni. I never expected you to survive. Good, very good!"

Upon hearing Yuan Jin mention Shen Ni, Bodhi gave a bitter smile and said softly, "He survived with only half a life left. If it weren't for His Majesty Kunwu's powerful rescue, he would have truly died. Now, only this crippled body remains between heaven and earth, utterly worthless!"

Yuan Jin shook his head and said, "It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive!"

Bodhi Old Ancestor was once the Divine Emperor of Kunwu Divine Court, possessing the cultivation of a peak Daluo Golden Immortal.

Don't underestimate this level of cultivation. You should know that back when the world was first created, a peak Daluo Golden Immortal was comparable in value to Quasi-Saint in the present day.

Back then, the Innate Three Races also shared a share of the Kunwu Divine Court. Yuan Jin lived in the Divine Court from childhood until the Fierce Beast Tribulation broke out, at which point she returned to the Phoenix Clan.

During their time in the Divine Court, Yuan Jin and his group were managed by Bodhi, who was his teacher and disciple.

Later, the Phoenix Clan rose to power, and Bodhi was injured. This allowed Yuan Jin to reach the Quasi-Saint realm, while Bodhi was only at the Late Stage Quasi-Saint!

After exchanging pleasantries, Yuan Jin spoke up, "Senior..."

Bodhi Old Ancestor quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't speak like that. We are at the same level, so just address each other as fellow Daoist. You mustn't do that; it's too much of an honor for this humble Daoist!"

Seeing Bodhi's resolute attitude, Yuan Jin said no more and then said, "Fellow Daoist Bodhi, would you be willing to serve in my Heavenly Court? With your cultivation and talent, you will surely be highly valued by His Majesty and enjoy the fortune and merit of the Heavenly Court Destiny. Why not?"

Upon hearing Yuan Jin's words, Bodhi felt a headache coming on. This was exactly what he feared most, lest he Hun Yuan drawn into the struggle between powerful forces, especially between Hun Yuan forces.

Now, as the only mainstream power in the world and the nominal ruler of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, the Heavenly Court is naturally also the center of the struggle for power and interests.

Bodhi is now wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and yearns for freedom and ease, so he naturally would not enter the Heavenly Court and thus decisively rejected Yuan Jin.

The West Queen Mother, having overheard their conversation, understood what was going on and finally spoke up, saying, "Since Fellow Daoist Bodhi is Great God from the ancient times, we will not insist. After this battle, you can come to the Heavenly Court for a chat. I believe the Great Heavenly Venerate would be very willing to get to know such a remarkable person as you."

"Then I shall respectfully comply. It would be my honor to hear the Great Heavenly Venerate preach." Bodhi had no choice but to agree. He couldn't refuse the Heavenly Court's request again and again, otherwise he would be ungrateful.

Deep within the chaos, the eight people's momentum had reached its peak. At a certain moment, a simple and ancient banner appeared in Yuanshi's hand, and he launched a fierce attack.

Tongtian followed closely behind, the Immortal Slaying Four Swords swirling around him, wielding the Qingping Sword and unleashing streaks of sword energy.

And their target was none other than Nuwa!

Zhunti held the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his right hand Empowerment Divine Pestle in his left, refining these two Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures. The Great Dao Power surged around him, and his golden body was instantly activated as he charged Houtu!

Only Taishang and Jieyin remained in place, and their opponent was naturally the strongest, Donghua.

This time, the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints chose to launch a combined attack without the slightest hesitation or politeness.

The Supreme Being's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared Taishang head, Taiji Diagram in his hand stretched across the sky, forming a Golden Bridge that pierced through the chaos, instantly freezing Donghua in place.

Jieyin leaped out, stepping on Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus. He was surrounded by the blessings of the Three Thousand Worlds, with the Great Dao Rules of the Great Dao and the laws of heaven and earth all supporting the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

The Jieyin Treasure Banner is a personal spiritual treasure for Jieyin others, and it is Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Faced with the two attacks, Donghua did not back down at all. Instead, he met them head-on and chose to confront them head-on.

This time, he intends to subdue the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints, making them understand the might of the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor shattering their pride!

Donghua stood on Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus, held the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his right hand, and had the Heavenly Emperor Seal above his head.

The Golden Bridge manifested by the Taiji Diagram has arrived. The suppressive power of the Taiji Diagram forms a black and white world, upon which the power of the Great Dao Rules surges, as if splitting the chaos in two.

Faced with such an attack, Donghua directly summoned the Heavenly Emperor Seal above his head. As soon as the seal appeared, nine dragons soared into the sky.

In an instant, the entire chaos fell silent. Both the powerful Chaos Storm and the Chaos Qi Flow were suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor Seal.

"Boom!"

A violent collision resounded in the chaos, sending out boundless shockwaves that tore apart billions of miles of chaos. Chaos Storm swept through, and Earth Fire Water Wind emerged.

This is also the first collision between the Primordial Treasure Taiji Diagram and the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell!

There is no winner or loser!

Just after this collision, Donghua had barely recovered when Jieyin appeared behind him, the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos Rules empowering the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

The powerful annihilating energy made Donghua feel as if his divine body was being dissected, and this was only the annihilating energy that had just been released.

Donghua snorted coldly and said, "Is this all my two junior brothers can do? They're truly beneath their dignity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus beneath his feet burst forth with endless light, instantly turning the gray chaos into a white expanse. With the blessing of the Great Dao, the purifying power formed billions of white lotuses, suppressing all the three thousand realms that were Jieyin.

"Bump!"

A thunderous roar resounded through the chaos—the collision of the Pure World White Lotus and the Merit Golden Lotus!

This also marks the first clash between the four great lotus platforms!

This day was destined to be unforgettable; this chaotic place witnessed so many firsts!

P. S.: Just to clarify, this isn't an abandoned project, nor will it be. I was on holiday for the Lunar New Year and took my mom out for a few days, so I really didn't have the energy to write. I hope you can understand.
