One Qi Transforms Three Corpses! Luo Hou Goes Mad! The Death Knell Rings! Kill!

As Di Tian investigated Qian Kun's lifetime hoard.

The balance of victory in the slaughter outside gradually began to tilt toward Luo Hou.

The divine might of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation lay not only in its unrivaled killing power throughout the Primordial World, nor merely in the four divine swords containing boundless Fierce Fiendish Qi.

As the Heavenly Dao's foremost killing formation, capable of suppressing and slaying four Saints by itself.

Its true foundation was the formation diagram that linked its auras, borrowed power between them, and united the four swords as one, allowing it to slaughter Mixed Origin beings and kill Saints.

With Qian Kun's escape, the Immortal Trapping Sword Gate that had been suppressing him was naturally freed as well.

Five Elements was the weakest among the remaining three.

Not only was his cultivation merely at the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Middle Stage.

Even his treasures were incomplete. Without the Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Flag, he could not perfectly achieve Five Elements Hongyuan Unification and attain the power to annihilate all things in heaven and earth.

He could only use his own Five Elements Dao to fill the gap left by the missing water element, combining it with the other four Acquired Five Directions Flags to resist the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.

Yet among the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and even the Four Swords of Zhuxian, it was the divine sword containing the most Fierce Fiendish Qi and the strongest Killing Intent.

After being sharpened by boundless baleful qi.

And amplified by the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

Its divine might surged severalfold once more.

The Lü Xian Sword Qi it unleashed directly reached a fearsome power comparable to the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Late Stage!

With incomplete treasures and weaker cultivation, Five Elements faced the unending torrent of Lü Xian Sword Qi.

He could only rely on the Acquired Five Directions Flags' ability to remain impervious to all techniques, setting up the Acquired Five Elements Hongyuan Grand Formation to defend against the Immortal Slaughtering Sword's attacks.

At the same time, he constantly controlled the four Acquired Five Directions Flags, releasing countless Golden Lotuses, Azure Wood Gang Wind, Chaos Flames, and Geng Metal Sharp Radiance to bombard the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Gate.

He sought to break the formation and go support Yin Yang.

But after dealing with Qian Kun, Luo Hou immediately set his sights on him.

With the combined might of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and Immortal Trapping Sword, Five Elements lasted only one day before Luo Hou caught an opening.

The divine might of the two immortal swords destroyed his physical body.

The God Slaying Spear followed immediately after, piercing through the primordial spirit that tried to flee.

Thus, Five Elements became the first victim openly acknowledged to have died in the Dao-Devil Conflict.

The instant he perished, Luo Hou did not dare pause for even a moment. He immediately turned his spearhead toward Yin Yang.

Using the ferocious might of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and Immortal Trapping Sword, he aided the Immortal Severing Sword in launching a joint assault against him.

Meanwhile, he continued circling the outskirts, launching disruptive attacks from time to time.

He was searching for the best chance to land a fatal blow.

"Hong Jun, at a critical moment like this, are you still going to keep hiding?"

"Five Elements is dead, Qian Kun has fled. If you still refuse to reveal your trump card, I won't serve you any longer either!"

Seeing himself surrounded by three immortal swords, while still needing to guard against Luo Hou's sneak attacks.

Yet Hong Jun was still over there "struggling" against the Zhuxian Sword.

Yin Yang immediately flew into a rage.

He shouted furiously for Hong Jun to act at once.

Otherwise, he would be leaving first!

"A bunch of trash."

"With such overwhelming advantages, you were individually defeated by Luo Hou in only a few days."

"With such ability, you still demanded two shares of Merit for each person!"

"If I'd known this, I might as well have agreed to Shi Chen and Yang Mei's demand for three shares of Merit each."

"At least with their strength, they wouldn't have dragged us down!"

Listening to Yin Yang's furious shouts, Hong Jun was filled with displeasure and regret.

But the situation had already reached this point.

He could no longer turn around and leave.

He could only use his final trump card.

The divine ability he had comprehended through the Jade Tablet of Creation, by observing Pan Gu open heaven and earth before perishing and transforming into all things—One Qi Transforms Three Corpses!

It was also the prototype of the future Path of Quasi-Saint.

Using the Mixed Origin power within his body, he transformed it into three External Avatars—good, evil, and Self Corpse—each possessing eighty percent of his true body's strength!

Coupled with cultivation that had already reached Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection with the Jade Tablet of Creation's aid.

Breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would undoubtedly be effortless.

After all, Luo Hou's ferocious might was indeed overwhelming.

But his Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Late Stage cultivation was ultimately the fatal flaw preventing him from fully unleashing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation's divine might.

Though he could now easily defeat Qian Kun, kill Five Elements, and suppress Yin Yang.

The burden brought by operating the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was also steadily crushing down on him.

That was one reason why, even against his own nature, he had resorted to deception, trickery, and sneak attacks from behind...

Such despicable methods.

"Three Corpses—emerge!"

With a low shout, good, evil, and Self Corpse immediately split from Hong Jun's body.

Taking advantage of the moment when Hong Jun swung the Pan Gu Banner with explosive force, causing the Zhuxian Sword Gate to tremble unstably.

They jointly controlled the Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure—the Heart Piercing Lock.

Three white jade chains split into nine black jade chains, forming the Heavenly Net Array and instantly sealing, binding, and suppressing the Zhuxian Sword!

With the Zhuxian Sword missing, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation naturally could no longer maintain its peak divine might.

Seeing this, killing intent abruptly surged in Luo Hou's eyes, while traces of helplessness and unwillingness quietly rose in his heart.

"Looks like I'm truly going to fall this time..."

He had never expected Hong Jun to conceal himself so deeply.

Not only did he possess the strength of Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Perfection.

He could even split into three!

External Avatars comparable to the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal Late Stage!

Just as Luo Hou felt utterly powerless.

Yin Yang also made a swift decision, using the Taiji Diagram to block the Immortal Severing Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Slaughtering Sword, whose power had sharply declined.

He swung the Yin Yang Great Millstone and smashed it down at Luo Hou!

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has been broken!"

"Your end has come!"

Luo Hou watched Yin Yang charge toward him, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes as he immediately raised the God Slaying Spear to meet him head-on.

"I haven't lost yet!"

"My final trump card has not been revealed. The outcome is still undecided!"

"Even if I destroy the entire Western Region, I will fight for my last sliver of survival!"

At that thought, Luo Hou's eyes gradually filled with scarlet, and the demonic might around him grew ever more abyssal and prison-like.

A Killing Intent capable of slaying the heavens, destroying the earth, massacring all living beings, and extinguishing all things instantly covered hundreds of millions of miles of heaven and earth!

Yin Yang, who was fighting him, felt unparalleled terror at that moment. His hands could not stop trembling slightly.

Even the mana within his body slowed to a crawl, utterly beyond his control.

Hong Jun, seeing this, also felt an inexplicable sense of alarm.

It was as though a heaven-destroying calamity was about to descend. Every hair on his body stood on end, and cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his back.

"No, I can't wait any longer."

"Luo Hou must still have some unknown trump card."

"If I don't end him quickly, then before Yin Yang even dies, this all-but-certain situation may undergo another unforeseeable change!"

Driven by the panic in his heart, Hong Jun immediately attacked with all his strength, leading good, evil, and Self Corpse—the three External Avatars—to surround and kill Luo Hou!

"Come! Come! Get closer!"

"The death knell has already rung. Once you can no longer break free, it will be time for us all to walk the same road!"

Yet just as Luo Hou roared madly within his heart, abandoning all defense and fighting desperately.

The time and space of heaven and earth suddenly froze, and a familiar greeting abruptly entered his primordial spirit.

"Fellow Daoist, it has been several thousand years since we last met. Have you been well lately?"

"Di Tian..."

As for the owner of that voice, who had repeatedly toyed with him and left him in such a miserable state.

If Luo Hou still failed to recognize him, then he truly might as well go down and keep Five Elements company.

"You saw that I was showing signs of defeat, so you've come to settle both old and new scores at once?"

"If so, then come!"

"Let me see your true strength!"

"Let me see whether you have the qualifications to ascend to the position of ruler of the Primordial World, commanding the All Heavens Stars and the living beings of the Ten Thousand Races!!"
