"Junior Brother, let's go."
With that, the two of them flew straight toward Shouyang Mountain.
When Nüwa saw Jie Yin and Zhun Ti going after the Kongtong Seal, she immediately shouted to Tongtian, "Senior Brother Tongtian, please stop those two bald donkeys! We absolutely cannot let them obtain the Kongtong Seal, or the human race will be in danger."
Hearing Nüwa's words, Tongtian also flew toward Shouyang Mountain.
Seeing Tongtian approach, Jie Yin immediately said to Zhun Ti, "Junior Brother, go take the treasure. I'll intercept Tongtian."
With that, Jie Yin turned and unleashed his Golden Body of Law. Boom!
A massive golden Dharma Body blocked Tongtian's path. "Senior Brother Tongtian, please stop here. If you take another step forward, then I'll have no choice but to offend you."
Hearing Jie Yin's words, Tongtian's lips curled slightly.
"So what if I move forward? Do you think you can stop me?"
"You'd best move aside now. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind slaughtering a Saint."
As his words fell, Tongtian reached out and grabbed, and a jade-green treasure sword appeared in his hand. It was none other than the Top Grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, the Qingping Sword.
"Jie Yin, I'll ask you one last time. Will you move aside or not?"
"Senior Brother Tongtian, it is not that I am unwilling. It is simply that I have already promised Senior Brother Taiqing that I would help him seize this treasure."
"Fine. Since you refuse to move, don't blame me."
"Intercepting Heaven Sword, break!"
As Tongtian's words fell, an incomparably enormous azure greatsword appeared in the void.
Boom!
The azure greatsword descended from the void, slashing straight toward Jie Yin.
Seeing this, Jie Yin immediately activated his Golden Body of Law and met the attack head-on.
Bang!
Jie Yin's Dharma Body extended both palms and firmly caught the azure greatsword. However, its sword light was not so easily received. A terrifying burst of sword qi suddenly erupted from the blade.
Whoosh!
With a single slash, Jie Yin's Dharma Body was instantly cleaved in two, while his true body spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt in midair.
"How is this possible? Even if you are one realm above me, you should not have been able to so easily shatter my Golden Body."
"Hmph!"
"Nothing is impossible. My strength is beyond your imagination. Even if Zhun Ti joined you, I would not fear you in the slightest."
"I'll give you one more chance. If you leave now, I can spare you."
Jie Yin clutched his chest, regret filling his heart. If he had not agreed to Taiqing's request, he would not have suffered such severe injuries.
Tongtian's previous sword strike had already seriously wounded him. If he took another, he likely would not recover without at least a hundred years of recuperation.
But he had already promised Taiqing, so it was impossible for him to go back on his word. Now he could only use the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus and hope it could hold Tongtian off for a while, buying some time for his junior brother!
With that thought, Jie Yin directly summoned the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus and sat cross-legged upon it.
When Tongtian saw Jie Yin summon the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Looks like you do not intend to leave. In that case, I'll personally send you back to the Western World."
As his words fell, Tongtian waved his hand and slashed out another sword strike. Boom!
The void shook as an immensely vast azure sword qi slashed toward Jie Yin.
Bang!
A tremendous collision rang out through the void. The azure sword qi slammed into the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus's barrier, and terrifying shockwaves instantly spread in every direction.
The massive shockwaves blasted through the surrounding void, instantly creating countless tiny cracks.
Yet the shockwaves continued spreading outward. Seeing this, Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately joined forces to create a defensive barrier, using it to withstand the aftermath of the Saints' battle.
When Ling Wudao saw the shockwaves crashing toward him, he immediately summoned a defensive talisman to block the aftermath of their attacks.
Meanwhile, seeing his senior brother being relentlessly beaten down by Tongtian, Zhun Ti immediately wanted to return and support him. But at that moment, a voice entered Zhun Ti's sea of consciousness.
"Junior Brother, do not concern yourself with me. Hurry and take the treasure. Return to help me only after you have obtained it."
Hearing Jie Yin's voice transmission, Zhun Ti charged straight toward the Kongtong Seal.
At that moment, Nüwa, who was fiercely battling Taiqing and Yuanshi, saw Zhun Ti approach the Kongtong Seal and immediately wanted to rush over to stop him. However, Yuanshi and Taiqing blocked her.
Seeing this, Nüwa was completely enraged.
"Get lost!"
With that, Nüwa smashed the Red Embroidered Ball toward Taiqing, then summoned the Seven Mouths Heavenly Light Divine Knife and slashed it at Yuanshi.
Seeing Nüwa so furious, Ling Wudao immediately said, "Nüwa Empress, there is no need for you to be so angry. Zhun Ti will not be able to obtain the Kongtong Seal."
Just as Zhun Ti was about to seize the Kongtong Seal, Ling Wudao extended his palm and shouted, "Kongtong Seal, return to your place!"
The moment those words rang out, the Kongtong Seal atop Shouyang Mountain emitted a brilliant radiance before instantly vanishing from its original location. When it reappeared, it was already resting in Ling Wudao's palm.
Seeing this, all the Saints revealed shocked expressions.
By all logic, an unrefined treasure should not have been capable of being summoned. Yet Ling Wudao had merely shouted once, and the Kongtong Seal had crossed space on its own to fall into his hand. It was truly inconceivable.
As the Saints stood in shock, a voice rang out in Nüwa's sea of consciousness.
"Nüwa Empress, in a moment, I will use the Kongtong Seal to abolish the Human Religion. Once Taiqing loses his position as leader of the Human Religion, his cultivation will surely plummet. He may even fall from his Saint Position."
"When I abolish the Human Religion, take the opportunity to kill him."
After finishing the voice transmission, Ling Wudao looked at Taiqing with a wicked grin.
"Taiqing, you old dog. It is time for you to return the fortune of my human race that you seized."
"I hold the Kongtong Seal and should therefore be the Human Emperor. Taiqing established the Human Religion but did not enlighten the human race. When the human race faced calamity, he offered no aid. Instead, he helped the demon race oppress humanity. Such conduct makes him unworthy of being the master of the Human Religion."
"Today, with the Kongtong Seal, the supreme treasure of the human race, I abolish the Human Religion. May the Great Dao bear witness!"
As Ling Wudao's words fell, a muffled rumble of thunder came from the void. Immediately afterward, the Kongtong Seal erupted with a terrifying divine light.
Beneath the divine light, the human race's fortune within Taiqing's body began to be stripped away.
Seeing the human race's fortune being stripped away, Taiqing immediately roared, "No...!"
Watching the human race's fortune leave his body, Taiqing completely panicked.
"Taiji Diagram, suppress it for me!"
The Taiji Diagram flew above Taiqing's head, and a stream of white light descended, enveloping his body as it attempted to suppress the human race's fortune that had left him.
However, Nüwa would not allow Taiqing to succeed. With a wave of her hand, the Red Embroidered Ball once again smashed toward Taiqing.
At that moment, Taiqing was using all his strength to suppress the human race's fortune and could not spare any attention to block Nüwa's attack.
