Tongtian Overpowers Laozi and Yuanshi! Even Quasi-Saints Are Worlds Apart!

Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance. Both saw the bewilderment in the other's eyes.

A few seconds later, understanding flashed in both their eyes.

Regret crossed Laozi's face, but Yuanshi cut off Tongtian's explanation with a merciless sneer.

"You needn't say another word. The Primordial Unity Dao your Master taught you is flat-out wrong!"

Tongtian had just reached Early Quasi-Saint through the Law Dao himself. Yuanshi's words could not shake his conviction.

"The Dao Master taught me is right!"

Yuanshi sneered and spoke quietly.

"Then let me teach you what the true Primordial Unity Dao looks like!"

Yuanshi laid out the Three Corpses Severing Dao. Compared with the difficult Law Dao Tongtian had described, Three Corpses Severing was far simpler: find suitable Innate Spiritual Treasures to house one's good thoughts, evil thoughts, and Self Corpse.

Apart from the difficulty of gathering Innate Spiritual Treasures, severing good and evil thoughts was much easier than the Law Dao Tongtian had described.

As Tongtian listened to his second brother explain the Primordial Unity Dao, surprise flickered in his eyes.

There's another way to attain the Primordial Unity Dao?

But surprise was all he felt. Tongtian had no doubts about the Law Dao. After all, he had used it to become a Quasi-Saint.

Seeing Tongtian's calm expression, Yuanshi assumed he was merely putting on a brave face while secretly regretting his choice. He sneered.

"I told you that Heaven-Earth Daoist couldn't be trusted, but you refused to listen to our eldest brother and me."

"Now you've suffered such a needless setback. If we hadn't warned you, who knows how long you would have stayed on this wrong path!"

Tongtian frowned slightly.

"Master would never deceive us!"

Yuanshi snorted.

"Eldest Brother, let Third Brother see your cultivation for himself!"

Laozi said nothing. Immortal light rose behind him, and a figure slowly stepped out of it: Jade Clarity Daoist, the Kind Corpse he had severed.

Terrifying power surged from both of them, filling the Cave Abode.

Yuanshi stopped concealing his own strength as well, freely displaying his Peak Great Firmament Golden Immortal aura before Tongtian.

Watching Tongtian's "stunned" face, Yuanshi's eyes gleamed with pride and mockery.

"Look! Eldest Brother has already used the method Master taught us to sever his Kind Corpse and become a Quasi-Saint!"

"And by following Master's method, he gained the fighting strength of both his original body and a second body the moment he became a Quasi-Saint!"

"This is the orthodox Primordial Unity Dao!"

"I may be half a step behind Eldest Brother, but I'll sever my Kind Corpse and become a Quasi-Saint soon enough!"

Yuanshi looked at Tongtian with even greater pride, desperate to see some trace of bitterness on his third brother's face.

But no matter how closely he looked, Tongtian remained calm. At last, his expression shifted slightly.

It was not bitterness. If anything, it looked like... disappointment.

Tongtian truly was disappointed. Hearing his second brother describe the Three Corpses Severing Method had piqued his curiosity.

But after witnessing the "Quasi-Saint" power his eldest brother displayed, he could not help feeling let down.

That's it? Why does it feel so weak?

The combined might of Laozi and his second body did not even reach seventy percent of Tongtian's own!

Yuanshi was still talking.

"That so-called Law Dao of yours is obviously wrong!"

"Admit your mistake to Eldest Brother and me, then sever your master-disciple bond with that Wild Heaven-Earth Daoist. We might even introduce you to Master..."

Before Yuanshi could finish, Tongtian's aura changed in an instant!

Terrifying Quasi-Saint power surged upward, and boundless Dao Resonance spread out. Even Laozi and the Kind Corpse he had severed, fearsome as they were, were pressed down by that overwhelming force!

Yuanshi stared, stunned. Beside him, Laozi—who had been hoping to see his third brother's regret—was equally dumbfounded!

Was this really their third brother!?

Their third brother had become a Quasi-Saint too!?

Then why did his pressure feel even more terrifying than Laozi and his Kind Corpse combined!?

Tongtian looked at them calmly, though a closer look would have revealed the chill in his eyes.

The three of them shared the same roots, and he had always regarded the other two as his elder brothers. But they had disappointed him deeply.

He could have endured their criticism of him. But they kept belittling his Master—the very man who had taught him the Dao!

Compared with the Three Corpses Severing Method taught by Daoist Hongjun, the path his own Master had passed down was clearly the orthodox Sage Dao!

The debt he owed Master was so great that it was no exaggeration to say he had been given a new life. Yet his eldest and second brothers kept slandering him...

"This is the Primordial Unity Dao I attained through Master's method! Is that clear enough?"

"That's enough. Please leave, brothers. I'm going into seclusion to absorb what I gained from hearing the Dao!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Tongtian sent them out on a wave of immense Magic Power. Yuanshi was like an ant caught in a gale. Even at Peak Great Firmament Golden Immortal, he had no hope of resisting.

Laozi had the strength to fight back, but he withdrew his Kind Corpse and allowed Tongtian to send him out. He had a feeling he would lose if they truly fought.

Forced out of the Cave Abode, Yuanshi belatedly flushed with anger and humiliation. But recalling Tongtian's power, he felt a sudden chill.

Their third brother had become a Quasi-Saint too!?

More importantly, why did the Quasi-Saint Tongtian had become through the Law Dao taught by that Wild Heaven-Earth Daoist seem even more terrifying than the Quasi-Saint Eldest Brother had become through Three Corpses Severing!?

Could it be that the Dao taught by Heaven-Earth Daoist was the orthodox path after all...

Yuanshi could not name what he felt. A trace of regret rose unbidden, but when he remembered all he had said and done, he quickly forced it back down.

Laozi was just as unsettled. Neither spoke. They turned and flew back to their respective Cave Abodes.

Meanwhile.

On Blue Star!

As the countdown ticked down, the results of the second day's Weapon Rankings in the National Destiny Training were about to be announced!

The National Destiny Livestreams of every nation were packed with viewers, comments racing across the screens. None were more frenzied than the people of Eagle Nation.

"Shit, the second day's Weapon Rankings are finally here!"

"Losing to Dragon Nation last time was a disgrace to Eagle Nation."

"Don't worry. I heard that rookie from Dragon Nation hasn't advanced in a whole day. He obviously just got lucky and had already reached the top level of power in that world. That's the only reason he could beat Serafino!"

"The Primordial World can't compare to our Heaven World!"

"They say Serafino has already obtained those two legendary Super Divine Artifacts. Just watch—the top three spots in this round of the Weapon Rankings will all belong to Eagle Nation!"
