"Clack." The teacup in Taishang Laojun's hand crumbled to pieces. "The Zhuxian Formation... complete..."
"Tongtian... He's gone mad! He's defying heaven!"
The two Saints, Jieyin and Zunti, sprang up from their lotus pedestals like cats whose tails had been stepped on.
"Senior Brother! Am I seeing this right? That's... that's the Zhuxian Formation Diagram!" Zunti Daoren pointed at the Water Mirror, his voice trembling.
"Amitabha..." Jieyin Daoren was so terrified that his lips quivered, and he couldn't even manage to recite a complete Buddha's Name.
It was over!
It was over!
That lunatic Tongtian had actually been hiding such a move!
"Quick! Junior Brother! Go report this to the Dao Ancestor!" Jieyin clung to the last lifeline he could find. "This has gone beyond our control! The Primeval World... is doomed!"
The smile had vanished from Nüwa's face. She stared fixedly at the tiny scroll in the Water Mirror, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and confusion.
"Tongtian, what are you trying to do?"
Wasn't he afraid of provoking the Heavenly Dao's backlash and dying without a trace?
At that moment, a massive wave crashed through the hearts of every Saint.
Outside Zixiao Palace, a violent ripple stirred for the first time in Hongjun's eyes, which had gazed down on the ages with indifference.
"Even the Heavenly Dao cannot fully control it. It represents endless variables!"
Hongjun knitted his brows tightly.
At Kunlun Mountain, before Jade Void Palace.
Xiruan had no idea how much of a shock the new map in her hands had caused throughout the Primeval World.
She only felt as though the moment she got her hands on it, she was filled with strength from head to toe—like she could punch a hole right through the sky.
And that arrogant, rotten Second Uncle in the sky was now as still as a block of wood, as if he'd been scared senseless.
"Wow! This map looks really powerful!"
Xiruan held the scroll up before her eyes and examined it curiously, unfurling it just a tiny bit.
Boom—!
An even more terrifying killing aura shot into the sky!
The heavens seemed to turn blood-red in an instant.
As the Zhuxian Formation Diagram unfurled further, a dreadful killing aura that could bring the entire universe to annihilation seemed to sweep it away. An invisible storm engulfed all of Kunlun Mountain.
The Jade Pure Immortal Light around Yuanshi Tianzun began to flicker unsteadily.
Tongtian was using this to tell him—and all the Saints—I can kill you.
For an instant, Yuanshi's resolve wavered.
"Hey? Why aren't you moving?"
Xiruan looked at the figure in the sky, suddenly frozen in place, and tilted her little head in confusion.
"Did you get scared silly?"
If that was the case, then she wouldn't hold back! Strike while he was down and finish him off!
"Take this, Milk Bottle!"
Xiruan tucked the Zhuxian Formation Diagram into her red bellyband, then shot into the sky like a bolt of red lightning.
"Oh no!"
The moment the Milk Bottle was raised, Yuanshi Tianzun finally came to his senses, breaking free of his boundless shock and fear.
In that instant when the Zhuxian Formation Diagram's aura had overwhelmed him and his mind had lost focus, his defeat had already been sealed.
Under the horrified gazes of every Great Being in the Three Realms, and amid the anguished screams of all the Chan Sect Disciples—
The Milk Bottle, carrying the supreme power of primordial chaos, slammed squarely into Yuanshi Tianzun's stern, handsome face!
Crack—!
A dent appeared in Yuanshi Tianzun's Dharma Body where the Milk Bottle had struck.
From that dent, countless cracks spread across his Dharma Body, racing toward every inch of him!
The Saint's Dharma Body... shattered with a thunderous crash!
Silence. A dead silence in which even a pin could be heard.
On Kunlun Mountain, the Chan Sect Disciples stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the sky.
Master...
Master's Dharma Body... just... shattered?
One had smashed him to pieces with a bottle—one little baby and her Milk Bottle.
The Saints watching from the shadows fell into an eerie silence as well.
Another one!
After the Jade Emperor Haotian, yet another Saint had been smashed to pieces by this little monster!
Was this child... the bane of Saints?!
Master Tongtian slowly closed his eyes.
It was over. This feud would end only when one side was dead.
Xiruan floated amid a dazzling rain of light, her little face full of wonder.
"Wow! It's raining!"
She reached out her chubby little hand to catch the falling immortal light. It felt cool and pleasant.
"So pretty!"
She smiled happily.
Just then, something fell through the rain of light.
"Huh? What's that?"
Xiruan's eyes lit up, and she wriggled after the glowing object.
In the blink of an eye, she caught it securely.
It felt warm and smooth in her hand, radiating a strange aura that put her mind at ease.
She brought it up to her eyes and examined it curiously.
It was a beautifully crafted Jade Ruyi, carved entirely from some unknown celestial jade. Blue, white, and crimson rays of precious light swirled around it. At a glance, it was clearly worth a fortune.
It was none other than the Treasure-filled Jade Ruyi, Yuanshi Tianzun's inseparable treasure of enlightenment!
"Huh, what's this thing?"
Xiruan held up the Jade Ruyi and turned it over and over. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly understood.
"A back scratcher? It's pretty, too."
She held the curved hook against her little arm and tried it out a couple of times.
"Mm, this curve is just right! I'll take it home and scratch Daddy's back. He'll love it!"
The more she thought about it, the more she liked it. She casually prepared to tuck it into her pocket.
"The Treasure-filled Jade Ruyi!"
"That's Master's treasure of enlightenment!"
Guangchengzi's eyes were bloodshot as he sprang to his feet, heedless of everything else.
"Demoness! Put down Master's magic treasure!"
Chijingzi, Yuding Zhenren, and the others also came to their senses. Their hair stood on end with fury, and their eyes blazed red.
Having Master's Dharma Body shattered had already been a terrible humiliation.
And now, this demoness was about to snatch away the treasure Master kept at his side?
Worse, from the sound of it, she wanted to use it... as a back scratcher?!
They would rather die than suffer such an insult!
"Demoness! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Give back our sect's treasure!"
The Chan Sect's Golden Immortals had no time for fear now. One by one, they charged at Xiruan with bloodshot eyes, ready to face death without flinching.
Facing the furious household retainers, Xiruan knitted her little brows in displeasure.
"Why are you yelling?"
Clutching the Jade Ruyi, she glared down at them from above.
"This is interest! Compensation for the emotional distress Daddy suffered!"
"Your boss has already been beaten and sent running by me. Of course I'm taking his things to pay off the debt! It's only fair!"
After saying that, she pursed her lips in disdain.
"Besides, it's just a lousy back scratcher. You're all so stingy."
Pfft—
Those four words, "lousy back scratcher," were devastating.
Guangchengzi spat out blood on the spot.
That was an Innate Supreme Treasure!
The companion treasure of Pan Gu, transformed from the Genesis Green Lotus!
And you called it a "lousy back scratcher"?!
