Cutting Off One of Laozi's Arms

As the Taiji Diagram, transformed into a white jade golden bridge, appeared and suppressed him, Minghe immediately felt his body sink as an unparalleled, terrifying power seemed to freeze everything.

It aimed to crush him on the spot. This was the might of the Taiji Diagram, and also the might of the Heavenly Dao.

When the Taiji Diagram transformed into a white jade golden bridge, it could connect to the might of the Heavenly Dao and suppress everything!

Moreover, it wasn't just Laozi; Yuanshi and Tongtian also seized the opportunity at this moment.

Yuanshi had abandoned the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and was instead using the Pangu Banner.

With a powerful shake of the Pangu Banner, countless Chaos Sword Qi shot out from its surface.

And then there was Tongtian. Tongtian did not use the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. After all, although these four swords were powerful, without forming a sword array, their might might not even surpass the Qingping Sword in his hand.

Tongtian directly unleashed the Qingping Sword, transforming it into a beam of sword light that fully displayed his mastery of the sword dao.

Tongtian's sword dao was already incredibly terrifying. The sword light seemed to expound upon all sorts of great daos of heaven and earth.

The sword was like heaven, the sword was like earth, the sword transformed into myriad laws, the sword transformed into the Starry Sky! One sword was heaven and earth, one sword was a world.

Its power was in no way inferior to Laozi and Yuanshi, who were using Innate Supreme Treasures.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Laozi had the highest cultivation, while Yuanshi wielded the most powerful offensive Innate Supreme Treasure.

As for Tongtian, he possessed the strongest combat power and was the most ferocious!

For a time, the Three Pure Ones surrounded him, attacking simultaneously, unleashing their full strength.

Minghe was like an enemy on all four sides, facing unprecedented danger.

However, even in the face of such peril, Minghe remained calm and composed.

Minghe was seen standing on the Karma Red Lotus, wielding twin swords, and even putting away the Hong Meng Sky Measuring Ruler.

Minghe actually chose to face the Three Pure Ones' "ultimate move" in this state, without resorting to other treasures.

If he had used other treasures, such as the Chaos Pearl, the God-Slaying Spear, the other two lotus platforms besides the Karma Red Lotus, and the Five Directional Flags he had long refined.

Minghe would certainly have been able to withstand the combined assault of the Three Pure Ones at this moment.

But Minghe did not. He chose to confront them head-on.

It didn't matter if the Three Pure Ones' magic treasures were more powerful than his. He relied on his cultivation and strength.

The Three Pure Ones had achieved their Dao through the weakest method: Dao Proving Through Merit.

As for himself, he had achieved Dao Proving Through Laws!

He was a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal who had proven his Dao himself.

The difference in cultivation was vast.

Minghe intended to crush them with his superior cultivation.

To defeat them.

To let them know what Dao Proving Through Laws truly meant!

Even Saints could not suppress him!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, everyone saw a dazzling red light surge upwards, and Minghe himself vanished.

In contrast, the Yuantu Sword and the Abi Sword transformed into two vast streams of blood-red light.

They were like two rivers of blood, dazzling and brilliant.

This scene was very similar to before, but previously, Minghe had only fused his Primordial Spirit into the twin swords.

Now, Minghe had fused both his Primordial Spirit and his physical body into the twin swords.

Minghe's Dao Proving Through Laws was a triple proof, refining both his Primordial Spirit and his physical body.

This meant that Minghe's cultivation was divided into two parts: one stored in his Primordial Spirit, and the other stored in his physical body.

Therefore, when Minghe had erupted before, using his Primordial Spirit to control the twin swords and kill Zhunti, he had used half of his cultivation.

But now, facing the combined forces of the Three Pure Ones, Minghe used his entire cultivation.

The Yuantu Sword and the Abi Sword, empowered by the fusion of Minghe's complete cultivation, erupted with an incredibly dazzling red light.

Furthermore, at the same time, a monstrous killing intent erupted.

The terrifying killing intent instantly made the entire world seem to dim.

The divine senses and gazes of the powerful beings observing the battlefield were also jolted by this killing intent, causing them to break off.

The golden bridge formed by the Taiji Diagram, which had originally suppressed Minghe from all directions, freezing everything, was now shaken and loosened by this terrifying killing intent.

A barely perceptible crack appeared, a loophole.

Seizing this opportunity, the twin swords, infused with Minghe's complete cultivation, shot out with a whoosh!

In a fraction of a nanosecond, it tore through that sliver of a gap and blasted outwards.

The White Jade Golden Bridge shattered, reverting to its true form, the Taiji Diagram.

Before Laozi could recall it, two beams of sword light, formed from Minghe, had already violently struck before him.

Laozi's originally calm expression drastically changed. He raised his staff to block, but the staff was instantly cut into three pieces.

The residual power did not diminish and continued to charge towards Laozi.

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda descended with streams of mysterious yellow energy, its defense peerless.

But the sword light formed by Minghe was truly terrifying.

It was proven that even the most powerful magical treasures depend on who wields them.

At this moment, Minghe's strength had completely surpassed Laozi's.

Even if Laozi activated the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, he still couldn't prevent Minghe's sword light from piercing through.

The fierce and unparalleled sword light shredded the obstructing mysterious yellow energy and entered the pagoda.

With a scream, one of Laozi's arms flew off, Saint's blood splattering.

Laozi's cultivation was higher, after all, and he wasn't killed by Minghe's sword like Zhunti was.

He only lost an arm.

It couldn't even be said he lost it; the arm had just been cut off when Laozi snatched it back the next moment.

He reattached it to his shoulder and drew upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to heal himself.

Even so, Laozi's face was pale, and he was not lightly injured. With a wave of his hand, he retrieved the three severed pieces of his staff.

This staff was formed from the red flower of the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus and was his Dao Proving Treasure.

Although it was broken, Laozi had means to restore it.

But at this point, Laozi knew that Minghe could not be suppressed.

It couldn't even be called suppression; rather, if they persisted, they might be killed by Minghe one by one.

Just like Zhunti before them.

After all, who could have known Minghe would be so ferocious?

This first Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal in the world was actually so terrifying!

Even Innate Supreme Treasures couldn't suppress him.

Were Saints who achieved Dao Proving Through Merit truly too weak?

Laozi couldn't help but feel regret, thinking he had been too hasty back then.

He had wanted to merge his three corpses, to achieve Dao Proving Through Severing Three Corpses and Dao Proving Through Merit simultaneously.

As a result, the merging of the three corpses failed, making Dao Proving Through Severing Three Corpses impossible. In the end, he had to hastily settle for Dao Proving Through Merit.

Although his cultivation was still deeper than Yuanshi, Tongtian, and Nuwa's, and with his two great supreme treasures, he could firmly hold his position as the senior disciple among the Saints.

But now, with the emergence of Minghe, the first Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal in the world, it was unknown how he achieved his Dao, but his strength far surpassed Laozi's.

Meanwhile, after cutting off one of Laozi's arms, Minghe's sword light continued to slash out, changing direction and heading straight for Yuanshi.

All of Yuanshi's previously unleashed Chaos Sword Qi missed. Now, as Minghe attacked as sword light, Yuanshi quickly wielded the Pangu Banner to engage Minghe.

As the Pangu Banner moved, countless Chaos Sword Qi flew out with a whoosh, but Minghe effortlessly shattered them all.
