The Sixth, Minghe, Beats Zhunti, Then Establishes the Asura

In the shadows, Minghe was overjoyed. As soon as Jieyin and Xuantian entered the Chaos space, he appeared before the crowd on Mount Sumeru, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhunti, it's been a while."

Zhunti's expression changed. "Minghe, you're not here to cause trouble while I'm injured, are you?"

Minghe nodded, stating matter-of-factly, "Of course, I'm here to cause trouble for you... After all, everyone who fought you has broken through. Fellow Daoist Zhunti, you'll indulge me, won't you?"

Still recovering from his injuries, Zhunti knew he wasn't Minghe's match. He immediately shouted, "All disciples, form the Bodhi Formation."

Minghe, standing on the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and wielding the Yuantu and Abi swords, declared, "I've only come for a spar. I'm in a good mood today and don't wish to kill. Consider your options carefully." As he spoke, he pointed his swords at Maitreya, Dizang, and the other disciples of Mount Sumeru.

Maitreya glanced at the heavily murderous Minghe, feeling a bit panicked. "Master Zhunti, you are a disciple of the Dao Ancestor after all. He probably wouldn't dare to kill you. Why don't you fight him one-on-one? We're both Quasi-Saints, who's afraid of whom?"

Zhunti's face darkened. He thought, Alas, I'll have to handle this myself. These few Grand Unity cultivators are no match for Minghe.

With that thought, Zhunti brought out the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and asked, "Minghe, have you thought this through? Are you really going to turn against me today?"

Minghe burst into laughter. "Everything is for the Dao. Besides, after this battle, I'll retreat to the Sea of Blood and won't come out. What can you do to me?"

Zhunti, enraged, directly flashed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, sweeping it towards Minghe. He thought, I never knew this scoundrel Minghe could be so infuriating...

A red light flashed from the Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus beneath Minghe's feet, blocking the attack from the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. Then, Minghe didn't hold back, raising both swords and charging at Zhunti.

Zhunti let out a cold snort. "If you're seeking death, then don't blame me!" The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree's divine light flared, and countless golden leaves rained down from the sky.

Upon seeing the leaves, Minghe's brow furrowed. He remembered the feeling from his previous encounter with Zhunti. "These are the leaves of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree? I didn't expect this old fellow to refine it to this extent! This is troublesome!" But with things having come this far, retreating was clearly not an option. Minghe gritted his teeth and poured his magic power into his swords. The two swords instantly became even more dazzling.

"Clang—" A sound of metal striking metal echoed as Minghe and Zhunti were both sent flying backward. After landing, Zhunti spat out a mouthful of blood before steadying himself. Minghe wasn't faring much better; his chest was caved in, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, leaving him looking rather disheveled. Zhunti roared, "Minghe, you brat, today I will send your soul to the netherworld, never to be reborn!"

Minghe wiped the blood from his lips and responded with a smile, "Zhunti, boasting is not good. In your current state, you're not necessarily my opponent."

Zhunti laughed heartily and then put away the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. "That remains to be seen. You're still far from it!" As Zhunti finished speaking, the space suddenly distorted. Immediately after, a powerful fluctuation of magic power emerged.

It turned out Zhunti had burned his Primordial Spirit's power, tearing through space and channeling all his magic power into the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Minghe.

Seeing this, Minghe hurriedly activated the Karmic Fire Red Lotus with his surrounding magic power, expending a considerable amount of energy to block the attack.

Meanwhile, Jieyin, who was fighting Xuantian in Chaos, sensed that Zhunti was in trouble. He said, "Fellow Daoist, could you let me return to help my junior brother? After all, fighting me wouldn't lead to enlightenment for you, would it? If my junior brother is defeated by Minghe and killed, who will you fight next?" (Zhunti: Senior brother, thank you very much.)

Xuantian heard this and replied, "I can let you go to stop Minghe, but Zhunti has to let me beat him up. How about it? Don't worry, I promise not to kill him."

Jieyin nodded helplessly. "Alright, it's a deal. You're only allowed to beat him up."
