An angry voice rang out above the Nine Heavens. Nuwa was furious. She couldn't believe she had died for the second time.
And part of the fortune from creating humanity had been taken from her.
Yet she was even more shocked. The aura was clearly that of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, so why did it possess the power of an Innate Supreme Treasure?
Could Sect Master Tongtian have gained some heaven-defying opportunity inside Buzhou Mountain?
"No—pfft—!"
Nuwa roared furiously at the sky, unable to make sense of it.
In the end, she was so enraged that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Suddenly, Sect Master Tongtian's voice rang across the Primordial World, piercing through Chaos.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, the Primordial World's Killing Calamity has begun. Since you've already died once, stay in Wa Huang Palace and behave. If you dare show yourself in the Primordial World again, I, Tongtian, will make sure your Three Flowers scatter and your Five Qis vanish."
His voice rolled like thunder, echoing throughout the Primordial World.
Countless living beings were utterly shocked.
They all knew Sect Master Tongtian was powerful, but none of them had expected him to be this strong.
He had actually beaten a Sage into not daring to enter the Primordial World?
"Tongtian, just you wait. I will avenge this grudge."
Nuwa was furious beyond measure. She knew that after dying once, she would avoid being caught up in the Killing Calamity as long as she stayed out of the Primordial World.
But whenever she saw the Human Race's terrifying fortune, she couldn't help herself.
And now Sect Master Tongtian had threatened her like this.
Nuwa was going mad.
"Tongtian, you forced my hand. Since that's the case, let's have some fun."
You think you're so powerful just because you have an Innate Supreme Treasure?
Then surely there's nothing wrong with me using the Fortune Cauldron to repair the Donghuang Bell, is there?
With a single grasp, she headed straight for the Demon Heavenly Court.
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, hand over the Donghuang Bell!"
Eastern Emperor Taiyi hadn't even figured out what was going on when he felt the Donghuang Bell disappear from his hand.
"Oh no! My Donghuang Bell!"
His expression changed instantly, but in the next moment, Nuwa's voice rang out:
"Don't panic. The Donghuang Bell was originally the Chaos Bell, an Innate Supreme Treasure. Its rank fell to that of an Innate Spiritual Treasure during the Dao-Demon Conflict. Today, I shall use the Qiankun Fortune Cauldron to restore the Donghuang Bell to its original state and return it to the ranks of Innate Supreme Treasures. Make good use of it and cripple the Witch Race. Crush the Human Race."
Nuwa's voice seethed with rage and murderous intent, echoing endlessly in the minds of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
After recovering from their shock, Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately knelt in thanks.
"Thank you, Sage."
Then he burst into laughter:
"Elder Brother, we're going to make it big! Hahaha!"
"Indeed, Second Brother. At last, our Heavenly Court has something worth showing off. Hahaha!"
After Di Jun rebuilt his body, making it comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure, he returned to the Heavenly Court and tested it against Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
The result was that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was pinned to the ground and beaten senseless. He couldn't even fight back.
As a result, the Demon Heavenly Court's fortune began to recover.
A body on the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure, possessed by the Demon Emperor, naturally had the effect of suppressing fortune.
Now that the Chaos Bell had once again become an Innate Supreme Treasure,
the Demon Race's fortune would grow even stronger.
At that moment, beneath Buzhou Mountain, Sect Master Tongtian controlled the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, completely trapping the Four Saints.
Nuwa had been slain and wouldn't dare return to the Primordial World for a while.
"Human Master, Tongtian came late."
"Hahaha, not late at all. You arrived at just the right time."
After Chu Yan recovered, he looked over.
Sure enough, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had changed.
"Human Master, thanks to your guidance, Tongtian obtained Father God's Spinal Marrow. That allowed him to restore the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to the ranks of Innate Supreme Treasures. I also reforged its Formation Diagram. The formation's power has increased tenfold. Even if all the Sages came at me together, I, Tongtian, could kill them at will."
Tongtian had expected Chu Yan to be happy for him, but instead, Chu Yan sighed.
"What a pity. What a pity."
"Hmm? Why do you say that, Human Master?"
Chu Yan said:
"Master, no matter how powerful the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is, it's still just an external tool. Only strengthening yourself is the true path."
Chu Yan explained:
"Master, you were formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. If you could absorb Pangu's Spinal Marrow yourself and forge a Pangu body, how could your strength be limited to this? Not only would your power skyrocket, you could also reunite the Pangu Demon God Bloodline. You might even have a chance to break free of the Heavenly Dao's restraints. But you... sigh."
Chu Yan sighed. Perhaps this was simply fate.
"Never mind. It was my fault for not explaining clearly at the time. What a pity..."
Sect Master Tongtian was embarrassed to hear this, but it was too late for regrets now.
"Human Master, don't worry. Tongtian has no regrets. Though I didn't rebuild my body, my Primordial Spirit has been completely restored. It's just a pity that Father God may never appear in the Primordial World again. Father God's Will has grown so weak that I fear..."
Hearing this, Chu Yan felt a pang in his heart. Was there truly no way to change Pangu's fate of complete annihilation?
Once Pangu was completely gone, the entire Primordial World would become Hongjun's private garden.
Would the Human Race still have any hope of transcending the world then?
"By the way, Human Master, Father God used his terrifying will to forcibly seal the Hongmeng Purple Qi inside my soul. I can break free from its control at any time."
Tongtian immediately sent Chu Yan a voice transmission to explain the situation.
Chu Yan was taken aback.
"What? You mean Pangu's Will forcibly dragged out the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and you can destroy it and discard your Sage Position whenever you want?"
"Yes, Human Master. But Tongtian hasn't discarded it yet. I wanted to ask if you had any plans."
Tongtian also wanted to break free of being a Variable.
"Good! Excellent!"
Chu Yan was overjoyed. Getting Sect Master Tongtian to discard his Sage Position had been one part of his plan.
He hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
"Master, don't rush. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation can now fully suppress the Interception Sect's fortune. I imagine someone must be getting anxious."
Chu Yan glanced up at the sky and said:
"Don't let this slip for now. Hongjun said that in ten thousand years, every Variable would become a Fixed Number. I'll give him a big present when the time comes."
"All right."
Sect Master Tongtian readily agreed, then said:
"By the way, Human Master, Father God has trapped Hongjun in Buzhou Mountain. We should hurry and take care of your business while we can. If Hongjun breaks free, things will get troublesome."
As he spoke, Sect Master Tongtian prepared to set off.
But Chu Yan froze.
"Wait, you're saying that old man Hongjun is trapped?"
"Yes, trapped, but not for long. We're short on time, so let's go."
"No."
Chu Yan immediately rejected the idea.
"Master, hold on."
Chu Yan felt as if he had grasped something. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he had a feeling this was a rare opportunity.
It might very well be the last opportunity Pangu had managed to secure for him.
In an instant, Chu Yan made up his mind.
"Master, don't rush to Buzhou Mountain. Since Hongjun is sealed and can't break free for a while, there's something you need to do. You can't kill these Sages, but can you suppress them?"
"I can suppress them. I'll keep them suppressed for ten thousand years."
Now that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had reached the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure,
and Sect Master Tongtian's old injuries had all healed,
his comprehension of the Sword Dao had advanced another level.
It was no trouble for him to use the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to trap the Four Saints.
"Human Master, what exactly are you planning?"
Chu Yan gave a cold laugh and said:
"The Five Sages of the Heavenly Dao have bullied the Human Race far too much. This is a rare opportunity. How could I let it slip? This must be an opportunity granted to me by Great God Pangu."
A murderous aura burst from him:
"Master, I'm going to flatten Kunlun Jade Void Palace and crush Western Mount Sumeru!"
