Rumble...
After two hundred years of peace, the Primordial World was finally lively again.
And with the eruption of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the commotion immediately reached a whole new level.
It had evolved into a battle between Sages.
"Tongtian, you bastard! You're a Sage, yet you actually want to help Chu Yan?"
Sect Master Tongtian had manifested his true form and, without giving them the slightest chance to react, immediately set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Tongtian saw the situation clearly. Chu Yan could hold his own against Nuwa and Taiqing, but if Yuanshi arrived—or Jieyin and Zhunti joined the fight—Chu Yan would be doomed.
He had a deep connection with Chu Yan. How could he let Chu Yan be destroyed just like that?
What's more, Tongtian wasn't content to remain mediocre. He wanted to fight for a chance, too—only not for the Human Race Destiny, but for that sliver of hope.
Yuanshi Tianzun glared at Tongtian and shouted:
"Tongtian, you truly defy all laws! You're going against Teacher and defying the Heavenly Dao!"
Nuwa was furious as well. This was a rare opportunity, and she hadn't expected Sect Master Tongtian to barge in.
Tongtian, however, showed them no courtesy.
"Get lost, all of you! Otherwise, this Sage may just slaughter a Sage with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. If you don't believe me, come and see."
As he spoke, the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi began to erupt.
Now that Sect Master Tongtian was a Sage, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation's power was even more terrifying.
"You..."
The All Saints' faces turned livid with anger. Jieyin and Zhunti were terrified and seemed ready to retreat.
"Tongtian, so what if you set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation? So what if it takes Four Saints to break it? Don't forget, there are Five Saints here."
That was right. Four Saints could hold back the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, while the fifth killed Chu Yan. There would be no problem at all.
Tongtian's expression changed at once.
But Chu Yan said:
"Don't worry, Sect Master. It won't be easy to kill someone from the Human Race."
Chu Yan's Dharma Body charged straight at the Saints, his face brimming with boundless battle spirit and killing intent.
"Sect Master, this is a rare opportunity. Why don't we join forces and take down a Saint?"
At those words, the Endless Great Powers of the Primordial World were stunned.
"Heavens, what did I just hear? Chu Yan actually declared that he was going to take down a Saint?"
"Is he full of hot air? As long as the Heavenly Dao exists, the Saints are immortal. What makes him think he can take one down?"
Countless great powers were shocked.
Sect Master Tongtian was stunned, too. Could Chu Yan really have a way to kill a Saint? Tongtian certainly didn't.
The other Saints' expressions also changed. They knew Chu Yan wouldn't make such a claim without having something to rely on.
"What? Are you afraid, Sect Master?"
"Hmph! Why would I be? If the Human Master dares to stand against All Saints of the Heavens in his mortal body, how could I, Sect Master Tongtian, be afraid?"
Tongtian was thrilled. He had long been sick of those bastards.
If they could really take down a Saint, that would be wonderful.
"Good. Then let's fight with everything we've got."
In an instant, Chu Yan's aura soared. He roared:
"Who's ready to die? I'll send you on your way!"
Rumble...
The Human Race Destiny flared up, and a terrifying killing intent swept across the Primordial World.
A strange aura surged skyward.
"You've gone too far in defying a Saint! Chu Yan, I, Yuanshi, will take you on!"
As his voice fell, the Pangu Banner erupted and shot straight toward Chu Yan.
"Good! Today, I'll slaughter a Saint—"
Roar!
Suddenly, a Dragon's Roar rang out. Yuanshi Tianzun's expression changed dramatically.
"Not good! The Human Way Golden Dragon! Damn it!"
Yuanshi Tianzun panicked at once. He'd thought he'd picked an easy target, but the bastard had turned out to be a steel plate.
The countless great powers watching the battle in the Primordial World also understood in an instant.
"It's the Human Way Golden Dragon! No wonder Chu Yan dared to make such a bold claim. With the Human Way Golden Dragon backing him, he might really be able to slaughter a Saint."
Even if the Human Way Golden Dragon was weak, slaughtering a Saint should still be within its power.
The other Saints' expressions changed as well. Chu Yan could actually summon the Human Way Golden Dragon!
How the hell were they supposed to fight that?
"Hahahaha! Fellow Daoist Chu Yan, what a remarkable skill! In that case, how could I, Tongtian, fall behind?"
Sect Master Tongtian's magic power exploded throughout his body.
"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, rise—!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
"Not good! Defend yourselves!"
Taiqing's expression changed. He immediately brought out the Taiji Diagram to hold one side in place.
Nuwa didn't dare to be careless either. She used both the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the Red Embroidered Ball, barely managing to stabilize the situation.
Jieyin and Zhunti hurriedly defended themselves, terrified.
"Chu Yan, I've trapped the Four Saints. Yuanshi Tianzun is yours."
"Good."
Above the Primordial World, the battle began.
The Human Way Golden Dragon erupted wildly, forcing Yuanshi Tianzun to dodge again and again.
The countless great powers of the Primordial World watched in shock.
They couldn't believe Chu Yan was so ridiculously strong. He was actually forcing Yuanshi Tianzun, a Sage, to avoid a head-on fight.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, you're a disgrace to the Sages! You don't even dare face me head-on. You've never been more pathetic!"
Rumble...
The void shattered.
"Yuanshi, come on! Get over here and fight me! Why are you running? Coward! Wimp!"
Chu Yan kept taunting Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yuanshi Tianzun was so furious that flames surged around him, but when he saw the Human Way Golden Dragon around Chu Yan, he still didn't dare to fight him head-on.
It was driving him crazy.
Countless beings across the Primordial World were utterly dumbfounded by the scene.
Was this what a Heavenly Dao Saint was supposed to be? Getting chased around by an ordinary mortal—how embarrassing!
Sect Master Tongtian was keeping an eye on Chu Yan, too, but then he noticed something was off.
"Something's wrong. That isn't the Human Way Golden Dragon."
It looked similar to the Human Way Golden Dragon, but there was a difference.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a roar rang out. With nowhere left to dodge, Yuanshi Tianzun had to meet the attack head-on.
Rumble...
A tremendous explosion erupted.
Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly used the Pangu Banner to defend himself.
"Something's wrong. That isn't the Human Way Golden Dragon."
Yuanshi Tianzun understood at once. If it had been the Human Way Golden Dragon, he would already have been gravely injured.
"Chu Yan, again!"
Yuanshi Tianzun began testing him. After exchanging blows several times, he finally understood.
"Damn it! It really isn't the Human Way Golden Dragon. I almost fell for your trick, Chu Yan. Hand over your life—!"
The tide of battle turned in an instant as Yuanshi Tianzun unleashed his full power.
The countless beings of the Primordial World watched in stunned silence.
Was Yuanshi Tianzun really this powerful? He wasn't afraid of the Human Way Golden Dragon?
Sect Master Tongtian grew anxious, too.
It looked as though Yuanshi Tianzun had seen through Chu Yan's methods.
Rumble...
The battle erupted with full force. Chu Yan was struck again and again, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
Yet a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Heh. You've seen through me, have you? So what? I'll use you as my whetstone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan charged forward again.
"Hmph! Chu Yan, I've seen through your tricks. That isn't the Human Way Golden Dragon at all. Today, you die!"
The Pangu Banner erupted, instantly suppressing the Human Race Destiny.
Then Yuanshi pointed with one hand, aiming straight at Chu Yan.
"Die—!"
Rumble...
The Primordial World's land was left riddled with holes, and terrifying shock waves spread in every direction.
"No—!"
Sect Master Tongtian's expression changed dramatically. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation nearly collapsed.
"Hahahaha! Chu Yan, in the end, you still died by my hand! The Human Race Destiny is mine! Hahahaha!"
Yuanshi Tianzun laughed madly. The Human Race Destiny was an inexhaustible treasure trove.
"Hmph. You're celebrating too soon."
Suddenly, a terrifying aura came from within the billowing dust.
Rumble...
Thunderclouds rumbled across the sky, and the Primordial World instantly fell dark.
"This... This is..."
From within the dust, a golden war god rose from the ground once more.
Countless great powers were instantly stunned.
"Chu Yan isn't dead?"
The Saints' expressions changed as well.
"Something's wrong. This aura isn't the Human Race Will."
"Damn it! What is this?"
