Killing Each Other! The Stir of the Three Immortal Islands
This bolt of lightning was terrifying, beyond human comprehension, possessing incredible power, and struck Haotian's head fiercely.
Everyone was trembling with fear, staring in disbelief.
This was so sudden that it startled all the saints, who watched helplessly as lightning struck Haotian's head, engulfing him.
Laozi and Yuanshi were both shaken. They were terrified and felt a lingering fear. They were secretly glad that they hadn't been struck, and that they had escaped a calamity.
The terrifying lightning raged wildly; this was the punishment descended by the Great Dao, and its power was unimaginable—even Sage could not withstand it.
Haotian crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, his body wreathed in terrifying arcs of electricity. The power of the Great Dao Laws destroyed his physical body, tearing his skin and flesh to the bone.
He quickly turned into a blackened charcoal, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, his hair burned away, leaving him with a completely blackened bald head. He was weak and lay in the deep pit, questioning the meaning of life.
The Great Dao did not kill Haotian, but a single bolt of lightning took away half of his life.
The pressure of the Great Dao dissipated, but everyone was still immersed in its lingering power, their minds shaken and unable to calm down for a long time.
They hadn't expected Haotian to be so brave, actually daring to try and break the bet, but he also paid the price.
The faces of the Interception Sect, the Chan Sect, and the immortals of the Heavenly Court were grim, and despair once again enveloped their hearts.
Even Sage couldn't do anything about it, which meant they were doomed and would really have to go and serve as slaves to the Human Race.
On Mount Shouyang, the Green Lion and White Elephant, hiding in the back, looked pleased, their eyes revealing a hint of pride.
What's this called?
Foresight.
Although they were undercover agents, they had already gained basic trust from the Human Race, while their unfortunate colleagues from the Interception Sect Chan Sect lost the bet and were forced to submit to the Human Race.
In terms of status and other aspects, they naturally cannot compare to them.
The Three Pure Ones looked grim, especially Yuanshi and Tongtian. The bet remained unchanged, meaning their disciples would have to join the Human Race.
After that, the Interception Sect and Chan Sect were left with only one leader.
All the hard work I've put in over the years has been destroyed in an instant.
"Three Pure Ones, Haotian, do you have any more excuses to make?"
"I just asked the Great Dao, what did He tell you?"
Di Jun let out a long, earth-shattering laugh; everyone could hear this unrestrained yet ironic laugh.
Many people wanted to laugh along, but they didn't dare. After all, the other person was Sage, and they couldn't be presumptuous. They could only think about it in their hearts.
Upon hearing this, Haotian paused for a moment, then flew out of the deep pit, still sporting a large bald head that made him appear extremely dazzling.
The Two Western Sages looked on with puzzled expressions, feeling that Haotian's current appearance had an indescribable Daoist charm that touched their hearts.
I feel like I've suddenly become connected with Haotian.
Haotian was unaware of the admiring gazes of the Two Western Sages; his face was filled with anger and a sense of powerlessness.
Since the oath of the Great Dao has not been broken, this oath must be fulfilled.
The Heavenly Court already had few people; if they all submitted to the Human Race, the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't even have anyone to command, and might as well disband it.
Just then, Randeng crawled out, came to Yuanshi's side, and whispered something.
After he finished speaking, Yuanshi's eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone looked puzzled, wondering what the two were talking about.
Then, Yuanshi's expression turned solemn, and he said coldly, "The oath of the Great Dao cannot be broken. Those who have made a bet must accept their defeat. By reason and emotion, all of us disciples should submit to the Human Race."
"There's nothing to argue about. We Sage would never do anything unreasonable."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, filled with astonishment, because in their view, such words should not have come from Yuanshi.
The contrast before and after is too great.
Sage like Haotian and Tongtian cast strange glances at him. Haotian, unable to contain himself any longer, looked at them with resentment, "Senior brother, what is this...?"
He was somewhat stunned. Yuanshi's sudden change of attitude caught him off guard. Just moments ago, he had been as firm as a rock, but now he had suddenly softened.
Even Di Jun, Ziwei, and the others were surprised, looking at Yuanshi with strange eyes and pondering to themselves.
Has this person become delirious due to the shock?
Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, Yuanshi turned his gaze to his disciples and smiled, "Remember, after you submit to the Human Race, you must take good care of Human Race and help them reach their peak..."
These words were not only addressed to the members of the Chan Sect, but also to the Interception Sect and even the Heavenly Court.
After hearing his profound words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes flickered, and a cold smile gradually appeared on their faces.
The meaning of these words is quite clear: after joining the Human Race, things will be as they are, including killing each other.
Although they nominally submitted to the Human Race, none of the oaths of the Great Dao forbade them from harming the Human Race.
"Disciples understand!" The immortals, having grasped the Sage's meaning, responded loudly, their voices resounding throughout the universe.
Yuanshi smiled with satisfaction, stroked his beard, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.
After a moment's pause, the Sage Haotian, Laozi, and others understood Yuanshi's plan and immediately burst into laughter.
Submitting to the Human Race does not mean obeying Human Race every command. They can easily collude with Human Race from within and without to wipe them out, or allow their disciples to take control of the entire Human Race.
Either way, it will work.
The calamity is unstoppable!
Di Jun, Ziwei, and the others' expressions darkened; they hadn't expected their opponent to have such a plan.
This is about to unleash a complete Slaughter.
Regardless of the consequences.
"You'd better think this through. If that's the case, I'll make sure you suffer eternal damnation!" Di Jun coldly shouted, his anger truly rising.
The saints laughed; their plan was feasible, and the other side was already furious.
"That's wishful thinking. With your power, do you think you can stop it? When Heaven unleashes its killing intent, all living beings will shed blood. This is the consequence of defying Heaven's will."
"Di Jun, where are your two brothers? Could they have succumbed to their injuries and perished? Why are you hiding like a coward, afraid to show your face?"
Haotian suddenly sneered. The fact that he had resolved the crisis made him feel great and carried away his pride, and he couldn't help but think of this matter.
Di Jun's gaze turned cold, and he suddenly attacked Haotian, saying, "You dog, how dare you talk about my brothers?"
"Die!"
This roar shook the heavens and the earth, and a terrifying killing intent swept across the Haotian.
Haotian's expression changed drastically, and he was startled. Fortunately, at this moment, the Three Pure Ones and the others made their move.
"Di Jun, how dare you!"
Laozi and Yuanshi followed suit, blocking Di Jun's attack.
"Give up! There's no point in continuing like this. Once the Heavenly Dao seal is broken and the Dao Ancestor returns to his prime, that will be your death day!"
Yuanshi said with a cold laugh, "We've laid all our cards on the table; we're not hiding anything anymore."
Di Jun and the others are indeed very powerful, but as the Heavenly Dao seal weakens, their power as Heavenly Dao Sage is returning. Without a huge difference in strength, it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short time.
If they can drag this out, they will ultimately win.
Regardless of the circumstances, Di Jun and his group are doomed.
Just then, a vast aura suddenly descended, covering the sky and the earth.
The saints' expressions changed slightly, and they looked up sharply. In the distant direction of the Three Immortal Islands, a terrifying aura was spreading wildly, enveloping the Primordial World.
