Immortal-Slaying Formation Clashes Head-On with Hongjun

Nuwa nodded with a resolute expression. "Although I do not know whether Senior will accept me as a disciple, I will never take Hongjun as my master."

Hearing Nuwa say this, Tongtian burst into laughter. "Sister Nuwa truly is a heroine among women. Just for those words today, leave the matter of taking a master to me."

As he spoke, Tongtian had already raised his head to look at Hongjun in midair. With a cold snort, he said, "Hongjun, it seems you no longer intend to keep pretending. Since we refuse to take you as our master, you are preparing to force us to become your disciples?"

Hongjun looked at Tongtian and spoke expressionlessly. "Heaven's Dao has decreed that you are disciples of this Daoist."

"If you refuse to acknowledge this Daoist as your master, that is no different from defying Heaven. This Daoist will have no choice but to discipline you."

The moment Hongjun finished speaking, Primordial Heavenly Venerable snorted coldly. "What a fine 'defying Heaven.' Then today, the three of us brothers will defy Heaven for once and see what exactly you can do to us."

As he spoke, Primordial Heavenly Venerable did not forget to nod at Tongtian.

Tongtian instantly understood what his second brother meant. At once, he began chanting, and four treasured swords shot into the sky.

Immediately afterward, an enormous formation diagram appeared in midair. The four treasured swords hung above it in the east, south, west, and north.

Then the Three Pure Ones, Houtu, and the siblings Nuwa and Fuxi all rose into the air. In the blink of an eye, they entered the Immortal-Slaying Formation.

Tongtian sat upright upon the central ritual platform and pointed toward the Immortal-Slaying Gate. At once, the Immortal-Slaying Sword flew from its sheath, releasing waves of peerless sword light.

At the same time, Laozi was already seated on the ritual platform of the Immortal-Slaying Gate. Three nine-rank lotus flowers appeared above his head.

Tongtian then pointed at the Immortal-Trapping Sword, which also flew from its sheath. Primordial Heavenly Venerable likewise manifested nine-rank lotus flowers above his head and sat upon the ritual platform of the Immortal-Trapping Gate.

Next, the Immortal-Slaughtering Sword flew from its sheath, while Houtu sat upon the ritual platform of the Immortal-Slaughtering Gate. Behind her appeared the enormous true body of an ancestral witch.

The last to leave its sheath was the Immortal-Exterminating Sword. Fuxi and Nuwa, the brother and sister, held the ritual platform of the Immortal-Exterminating Gate. Three flowers likewise appeared above their heads.

However, Nuwa's three flowers had already bloomed to the ninth rank. Fuxi's three flowers, on the other hand, had only reached the sixth rank.

Yet if one looked closely, one would discover that three more ranks within Fuxi's three flowers had yet to bloom. It was not like those other sixth-rank Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, who had no more flowers left to bloom.

But at this moment, no one had the mind to care about that. Following Tongtian's instructions, they began guarding their respective gates.

For a time, the Immortal-Slaying Formation began operating smoothly, and boundless killing intent poured into it.

At this sight, even Hongjun could not help frowning. He even muttered inwardly, So this is the true Immortal-Slaying Formation?

If Rahu had been able to join forces with four allies to set up the Immortal-Slaying Formation back then, the loser of the conflict between the Dao and the demonic path would likely not have been Rahu, but I, Hongjun.

What a pity. Even if you understand the true essence of the Immortal-Slaying Formation, your cultivation is merely that of Primordial Golden Immortals. Before this Daoist, you are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs.

As Hongjun sighed and shook his head, the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud appeared above him. With the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud over his head, Hongjun walked toward the Immortal-Slaying Formation.

As he advanced toward the formation, he said, "Your cultivation is far too low. Even if you set up the Immortal-Slaying Formation, it will be in vain."

"Why not make a wager with this Daoist? If this Daoist can break your Immortal-Slaying Formation, then obediently acknowledge this Daoist as your master."

As he spoke, Hongjun had already arrived before the Immortal-Slaying Gate. The All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud above his head moved toward the Immortal-Slaying Sword hanging over the gate.

Seeing Hongjun arrive at the Immortal-Slaying Gate, Laozi hurriedly stirred the Immortal-Slaying Sword, causing it to unleash waves of sword light to resist Hongjun.

At the same time, the other three gates also released peerless sword light, shooting straight toward the central ritual platform.

Then, through Tongtian at the central ritual platform, the three streams of sword light were fired toward the Immortal-Slaying Gate.

As the three streams of sword light rushed into the Immortal-Slaying Gate and joined with the Immortal-Slaying Sword's light, a miniature Immortal-Slaying Formation actually appeared beneath the gate.

At this sight, even Chen Xuan, hidden in the shadows, could not help being greatly shocked.

"Tongtian has truly mastered the laws of the Great Dao's formation methods. He actually brought the Immortal-Slaying Formation to such heights."

Although Chen Xuan was astonished and greatly acknowledged Tongtian's ability, he still did not believe they could stop Hongjun.

And the result did not fall outside Chen Xuan's expectations. Hongjun merely paused in surprise before the miniature Immortal-Slaying Formation held him back for only a moment.

Then the miniature Immortal-Slaying Formation was shattered directly by Hongjun. Immediately afterward, Hongjun's three corpse avatars appeared at the same time and headed for the other three gates.

To break the Immortal-Slaying Formation, one had to remove the Four Swords of Execution simultaneously. This was also why it was said that the Immortal-Slaying Formation could not be broken without four Saints.

That was why Hongjun released his three corpse avatars. Otherwise, in dealing with the Three Pure Ones and the others, Hongjun would have had no need to use them.

As Hongjun's three corpse avatars reached the other three gates, the Four Swords of Execution were removed at the same time. This meant that the Immortal-Slaying Formation had been broken.

This caused everyone to spit out blood at once. Tongtian suffered the most severe backlash; even his early-stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm became somewhat unstable.

At this moment, Hongjun had already withdrawn his three corpse avatars. Holding the Four Swords of Execution in his hand, he spoke expressionlessly. "All beneath Saints are ants."

"Only by taking this Daoist as your master can you attain the Saintly fruition. At that time, with a mere lift of your hand or step of your foot, you will be able to destroy Heaven and Earth."

"As long as you achieve the Dao and become Saints, you will be the ones who set the rules of the Primordial World. The myriad races and living beings of the Primordial World will all be ants in your eyes."

At this moment, Hongjun was truly wielding both favor and might. First, he had broken the Immortal-Slaying Formation with thunderous means, letting the Three Pure Ones and the others understand the gap between themselves and him.

Then he told them what a Saint truly was, making them understand that as long as they took him as their master, they would become Saints ordained by Heaven.

Yet what Hongjun had not expected was that Tongtian stood up directly and said, "Kill us if you wish. But if you want us to take you as our master, dream on."

At the same time, Laozi, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and Houtu had also risen to stand beside Tongtian. They glared at Hongjun before them with incomparably furious eyes.

At last, even Nuwa and Fuxi supported each other as they stood beside Tongtian and the others. They had absolutely no intention of taking Hongjun as their master.

This instantly enraged Hongjun. He immediately brought forth the Fortune Jade Disk, preparing to forcibly take away the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others.

But just then, a Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus appeared out of thin air. It directly shielded the Three Pure Ones and the others overhead.

For a moment, the light of creation descended. Bathed in that light of creation, the injuries of the Three Pure Ones and the others instantly healed.

At the same time, Chen Xuan's voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you have bullied my disciples like this. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
