Immortal-Slaughtering Formation! Ling Xiao: That's it?
Yuanshi shouted, ordering Tongtian to set up the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation, fearing that he might find some excuse, and then added.
"Third Brother, go ahead and do it. I'll hold them off for you and make sure no one can disturb you."
"Good, Tongtian, quickly set up the formation! There can be no delay, or our lives will be in danger!"
Laozi Tzu echoed, his expression solemn, for the matter was urgent and could not be delayed.
Tongtian nodded emphatically without hesitation, knowing that things had become serious and that without the sword formation, there was no way to break the deadlock.
"I'll trouble you, elder brothers, to help me hold them off!"
"Block them? Do you think you can stop them?"
Di Jun and Tai Yi were radiant, like a furnace of heaven and earth, boiling the surrounding Chaos.
"Smack!"
With a single palm strike, the void was annihilated. The divine power was supreme and vast, transcending time, sending Yuanshi flying. His entire face shattered, teeth flew everywhere, and his skull was broken.
Tai Yi withdrew his hand, his face cold, and said, "Yuanshi, the only hard part left on your body is this face."
"Second brother, I think those two old bastards' faces are just as good, equally matched."
Di Jun continued, speaking with a serious expression, and even began to analyze the situation. The "old bastard" he was referring to was naturally Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Ah! I will kill you all!" Yuanshi roared in fury, unleashing the Pangu Banner with a furious outburst.
"I take back what I just said. The fact that you still have shame and anger proves that you're not as thick-skinned as those two old bastards."
Di Jun spoke again. Upon Jieyin and Zhunti finally couldn't hold back any longer. They almost ran away but turned back and started killing.
Just then, four divine lights shot into the sky, piercing through the endless Chaos.
These four beams of light transformed into divine swords, striking into the endless Chaos. Each of them was hundreds of millions of miles long and incredibly sharp.
Vast Chaos were shattered, howling winds swept through, and the disordered Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind into nothingness. The sword energy was chilling, like an undying divine light that had ignited the heavens, brimming with boundless killing intent.
"The Immortal-Slaughtering Formation is complete!" Di Jun and Tai Yi looked Celestial Sphere at Zhou Tian and felt himself enveloped in an inexplicable space, where endless killing intent lurked. If it were to erupt, it could easily crush Daluo Golden Immortal and injure Quasi-Sage.
"Finally safe! What a scare!" Jieyin and Zhun Ti calmed down. Luckily, they hadn't run away, otherwise they would have been at a loss and wouldn't have gotten a share of the treasure.
"Haha... we're invincible!" Yuanshi laughed, feeling the exhilaration of surviving a calamity. His body, which had been shattered into pieces, was reassembled.
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint, eerie voice suddenly rang out.
Who claims to be invincible?
This sudden voice froze Yuanshi's smile. Laozi, Jieyin, and the others also looked solemn, a strong sense of crisis rising in their hearts, frantically issuing warnings as if they would be beheaded at any moment.
Immediately, they all looked in the same direction.
There, a figure stood silently, seemingly merging into the Chaos void.
"Ling Xiao!?"
The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhun Ti roared out, their bodies exploding and questioning their very existence.
In contrast, Di Jun and Tai Yi's mouths were stretched from ear to ear with delight.
"You... you're still alive?"
Yuanshi Shi asked with a grim expression; upon closer inspection, his face appeared somewhat pale.
At that moment, he was terrified. A sudden, overwhelming sense of crisis told him to escape immediately—an instinctive reaction from the depths of his soul.
"Don't panic, we have the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation!" Zhun Ti roared, his hair standing on end, barely managing to maintain his Dao heart.
The pressure was immense. Just thinking about how Ling Xiao single-handedly defeated the Twelve Ancestral Witches made his scalp tingle. They were already no match for Di Jun and Tai Yi, and now with Ling Xiao added to the Ling Xiao, the consequences were obvious.
The only consolation is that there's still the Immortal Execution Sword Formation.
The Dao Ancestor once said that the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation could not be broken without four people at the same cultivation level. The Three Crows only have three of them, so they are still one short. Thinking about it this way, they still have an advantage.
Zhun Ti's words calmed the Three Pure Ones down.
That's right.
They possess the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation.
Ling Xiao's appearance was so sudden that it startled them.
Three Pure Ones comforted himself in this way.
"The Immortal-Slaughtering Formation..." Ling Xiao surveyed the surrounding formation; he had sensed this very thing, which was why he had come over.
With this thought, Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed, sending out several streams of pure energy. The next moment, Tongtian was struck as if by lightning, and the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation that enveloped this space-time trembled violently before finally collapsing.
The four divine swords fell and floated around Tongtian, bobbing up and down.
"This..."
Tongtian was stunned, his mind blank. This miraculous scene temporarily rendered him unable to think.
"What happened!?" The others were also stunned; such a large sword formation had vanished in the blink of an eye.
Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhun Ti looked at each other, as if they were seeing another version of themselves.
They cracked!
"Your magical power is too weak; this formation is useless against me. Unless you become a saint one day, you might give me... a little headache."
Ling Xiao looked at Tongtian and said calmly, "If setting up the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation makes one invincible, then how come Luo Hou was beaten like a dead dog by Hongjun and Yang Mei back then?"
It's important to understand that Hongjun and his companions at that time were not Sage.
At this moment, Tongtian's magical power was too weak to unleash the full power of the Immortal-Slaughtering Formation. For him, as long as he found a small flaw, he could easily defeat it with a wave of his hand.
"You've become a saint?"
Ling Xiao's words gave Laozi and the others a glimpse of hidden information.
If one were not Sage, how could one dare to utter such arrogant words?
Di Jun and Tai Yi were not surprised at all; on the contrary, they looked proud and honored.
Ling Xiao didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at Laozi and said with a smile, "Are you feeling very unwilling right now, thinking about merging your three corpses into one, becoming Sage, and then being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"
Upon hearing this, Laozi's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that Ling Xiao had hit the nail on the head.
That's exactly what he was thinking.
Although he was seen through, out of pride, Laozi still didn't admit it and protested silently.
Ling Xiao ignored his reaction and continued, but what he said next made Laozi lose my composure.
"The idea is good, but unfortunately it's destined to disappoint you."
"The Path of Slashing Three Corpses to Sainthood Hongjun taught you is problematic. He concealed an important factor and did not mention it to you."
"What? What do you mean?" Laozi panicked a little; I could no longer pretend to be a seasoned expert.
"The meaning is simple: the spiritual treasures that the Slashing the Three Corpses rely on must be of the same origin, and the conditions are extremely stringent."
Do you understand now?
Ling Xiao, with deep eyes and a smile on his face, said, "These words were difficult to say before, but now I can say them however I want."
After this news was released, not only the Three Pure Ones, but probably many powerful beings in the Primordial World were also unsettled.
