Laozi, the All-Rounder; the Confident Peng Emperor

Minghe was both surprised and delighted; he hadn't even made a grand vow yet, and the Heavenly Dao was already reacting.

Great, that saves me some money!

Her outstretched arms appeared even straighter.

The next moment, Minghe's smile froze. A terrifying aura permeated the dome, and the sea of lightning churned, stretching for billions of miles.

"This is..."

"Boom!"

A divine thunderbolt, reaching to Tongtian heavens and earth, struck Minghe squarely on the head, making his long hair stand on end!

Before he could react, a deluge of lightning engulfed him, leaving only screams of agony.

"Yuanshi! I ***..."

Minghe roared inwardly, his mind clouded.

"Ha ha..."

At that moment, all the powerful beings in the world burst into laughter.

It was a false alarm.

I thought Minghe was really going to succeed!

Mount Kunlun.

"Fool! A filthy thing like you wants to become a saint?" Yuanshi sneered, his eyes revealing a mocking look. Little did he know that the sudden establishment of a religion by the Minghe was inextricably linked to him.

However, Yuanshi also had something to say about this: not everyone is qualified to establish a religion and become a saint.

"Heh, that's certainly wishful thinking. Minghe's desire for sainthood is truly... persistent!"

Laozi Tzu said with a smile, "The Minghe has made many efforts over the countless years in order to become a saint."

Unfortunately, everything is preordained.

Some things are destined.

Like them, even if they do nothing, when the time is right, they can become saints while lying down.

Conversely, if fate does not permit it, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

Not every living being can find a loophole like Ling Xiao and be fortunate enough to attain enlightenment.

"Right now, the Two Western Sages are entangled with the Ancestral Witch, which may be an opportunity for the demon race."

"The Minghe failed to become a saint, and it must be filled with resentment. We can use this to bring it back into the world and have it join the Tribulation!"

Laozi stopped smiling, changed the subject, and slowly said, already having an idea in mind.

"Brother, do you mean to involve the Minghe in the game and help the demon race?" Yuanshi asked with a look of surprise, taken aback by Laozi's sudden idea.

"You could say that," Laozi Tzu nodded.

"What can the Minghe do? It still has no chance against the Witch Clan. The Demon Clan can forget about winning in this lifetime!" Tongtian said casually, his opinion of the Demon Clan already set.

"Third Brother is right. Even the demon race with the Five Elements Formation is no match for the Witch Clan. Even with the addition of the Minghe, they would have little chance of winning." Yuanshi rarely agreed with Tongtian's words.

Upon hearing this, Laozi remained calm, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and the yin-yang symbol rose and fell.

"I recently comprehended a formation that is no weaker than the Five Elements Formation. If we add this formation, do you think the demon race still has a chance of winning?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian showed surprise on their faces.

"Brother, what kind of formation is so powerful?"

It should be known that the Five Elements Formation ranks among the top few of all arrays in the world. How could there be an array more powerful than the Five Elements Formation?

Moreover, it was something the eldest brother realized on his own.

My brother is so talented!

Laozi smiled slightly, quite pleased with his two younger brothers' reactions. A rare hint of pride appeared on his face, showing just how satisfied he was with the formation.

"This formation is called the Two-Emanations Dust Formation. It is based on the evolution of the Yin-Yang principle and ranks above the Five Elements," Laozi Tzu said loudly.

The Two-Emanations Dust Formation requires Taiji Diagram or the Innate One-Qi Taiqing Talisman as its core, dividing it into six gates: Life, Death, Illusion, Extinction, Obscurity, and Light. It can transform a microcosm into the Primordial World universe.

When the formation is completed, it is said that life and death, illusion and destruction are like bubbles, and the two realms are as insignificant as dust!

Within the formation lies a self-contained world, where life and death, illusion and destruction, yin and yang Reincarnation, can transform dust into the Primordial World universe, possessing supreme power.

After listening to Laozi's explanation, Yuanshi and Tongtian were even more astonished, as they could feel the power of the formation just by listening to it.

"My elder brother is a genius, proficient in formations and alchemy, unparalleled in the world!"

Yuanshi sincerely praised, saying that although they also knew these things, there was a difference between knowing them and not knowing them.

"With the Two-Emanations Dust Formation, there's no need to worry about whether the demon race can defeat the Witch Clan."

"Conversely, it's no longer certain whether the Witch Clan can withstand the Demon Clan's offensive."

The doubts in Yuanshi's mind were completely dispelled.

"The Tribulation... it's time to end it!" Laozi stood up and said calmly, and then the Three Pure Ones left Mount Kunlun together.

Time passed, and on this day, Kunpeng returned to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and waved the Demon-Summoning Banner.

The sky and earth changed color, and clouds moved in all directions.

In an instant, the demon races scattered throughout the Primordial World, upon hearing the news, sprang into action and rushed to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

They were filled with involuntary fear. Kunpeng summoned them to this point only to send them to their deaths?

Even the powerful demons were puzzled and, carrying their questions, arrived at the demon clan's main camp in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Kunpeng was already seated high above, holding the Demon-Summoning Banner, looking majestic and proud, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Upon seeing this, the demons felt a chill run down their spines.

"It's different now, it's really different!"

They saw a powerful confidence emanating from Kunpeng's face, a confidence that made them feel at ease just by looking at him.

What's going on? Did Kunpeng find a treasure?

It's been a long time since I last saw you; your energy and spirit have undergone a complete transformation!

"Have you all arrived?" Kunpeng stood up, looked around, and said solemnly, his voice not loud, but unusually firm.

"This time, I will lead you to reclaim everything you have lost!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of powerful demons changed slightly, not expecting Kunpeng to be so decisive.

Where does their confidence come from?

"Peng Emperor! Isn't this... a bit too hasty?" Guiche said with a dry laugh, implying that this was nothing short of a dream.

The other powerful demons nodded silently. They could sense Kunpeng's confidence, but confidence alone could not guarantee their victory.

When it's time to die, you still have to die.

I wonder if Kunpeng went out and got some kind of shock, because when he came back he actually wanted to drag them all down with him for free.

That's so unfair!

Kunpeng took in the expressions of the demons, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, during my recent travels through ancient ruins, I stumbled upon a powerful array!"

"You ask me how strong I am?"

"Compared to the Five Elements Formation, it is no weaker, only stronger!"

"Now, are you confident?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the demons erupted in excitement, a mixture of surprise, joy, and even disbelief.

"May Heaven bless my demon race!" A powerful demon immediately exclaimed excitedly, looking up at the sky.

"This time, not only will we exterminate the Witch Clan, but we won't let those damned Human Race go either," Guiche said with a sinister grin, his heart burning with killing intent.

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng nodded and said, "You're right. No matter what, the Human Race must pay the price."

"And most importantly, just in case we can't destroy Dijiang's physical body, we'll need the essence and soul of the Human Race to forge a divine artifact that can restrain the Ancestral Witch!"
