The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords!

Before Golden Ao Island, Tongtian held the Qingping Sword, his gaze fierce as he looked down upon the Primordial World.

After driving back the two sages, Tongtian barely paused.

Instead, his figure blurred, and he charged at Yuanshi.

Yuanshi held the Pangu Banner, a genuine Innate Supreme Treasure.

It stood a full grade above the Qingping Sword, the Innate Spiritual Treasure in Tongtian's hand.

Clearly, Yuanshi would be far harder to deal with than the Two Sages of the West.

But now, Tongtian had no path of retreat.

He could only fight head-on!

"Tongtian, cease your arrogance! Watch me subdue you!"

Yuanshi gave a sharp cry and advanced to meet him.

With a shake of the Pangu Banner, the sky above Golden Ao Island darkened in an instant.

Black clouds shrouded heaven and earth, with faint flashes of lightning within them.

"Break!"

Yuanshi barked the command.

A streak of dark light instantly shot out of the Pangu Banner.

More than half the overlapping sword shadows cast by the Qingping Sword ahead dispersed beneath that dark light in an instant.

Yet at this sight, Yuanshi felt alarm rather than joy.

As Tongtian's elder brother, he knew the depth of Tongtian's cultivation.

In the past, a shake of his Pangu Banner should have shattered every sword shadow cast by the Qingping Sword in an instant.

This time, however, only half the sword shadows had collapsed.

That defied all reason.

Before Yuanshi could make sense of it, Tongtian came charging in again from afar, Qingping Sword in hand.

With a sweep of the blade, endless sword shadows once again filled heaven and earth.

It was as though Yuanshi's previous move had accomplished nothing at all.

Yuanshi hurriedly gathered his focus and shook the Pangu Banner again.

"Seal!"

Yuanshi barked another command.

Vast swathes of dark light poured from the Pangu Banner.

This dark light was different from before.

Streams of profound power surged from it, veiling heaven and earth.

As far as the eye could see, Golden Ao Island had vanished, leaving only gray, murky mists of chaos all around.

This was the Pangu Banner's profound art of sealing.

Once unleashed, it could scramble heaven's secrets, obscure the cosmos, and manifest a world of chaos.

Tongtian was now trapped within that world of chaos.

In the distance, Taishang, who had yet to act, stopped watching when he saw this.

His figure blurred, and he appeared before the world of chaos.

With a beckoning gesture, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared in his hand.

This Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was hailed as the Primordial World's foremost Merit Supreme Treasure, its power rivaling that of an Innate Supreme Treasure.

After summoning the treasure, Taishang tossed it upward.

The Exquisite Pagoda rose into the air and hung steadily above the world of chaos.

Hundreds of millions of strands of mysterious yellow qi poured from beneath the pagoda, each weighing more than ten thousand jun. They descended upon the world of chaos, directly suppressing Tongtian within.

"Second Brother, let us join forces and escort Tongtian to Zixiao Palace!"

Not daring to relax, Taishang hurriedly called to Yuanshi.

Then, feeling that this might still be insufficient, he turned toward the Two Sages of the West nearby.

"Fellow Daoists, please lend us your aid as well, lest Tongtian break free again!"

At those words, the two sages dared not hesitate.

After all, they had just experienced Tongtian's divine might firsthand.

Jieyin summoned the Twelve-Rank Merit Treasure Lotus again, while Zhunti swept the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to release its radiant light. Together, they pressed down upon the world of chaos ahead.

With these spiritual treasures suppressing him, surely Tongtian could not escape, no matter how formidable his methods were.

The Four Saints breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But just then, streams of sword qi suddenly spread out from within the world of chaos.

Unlike the pale blue-white sword qi released by the Qingping Sword earlier, this sword qi was different.

It was stained with blood-evil power and glowed blood-red!

"This is..."

Shock appeared on the faces of the Four Saints.

Before they could react, the blood-red sword qi spread straight toward them.

The world of chaos ahead also began to erode beneath this sword qi, then collapse.

A few breaths later, Tongtian's figure gradually emerged.

Four immortal swords hung around him in the four directions.

One was white as jade, one brimmed with purple qi, one was red as blood, and one was black as ink.

"The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords!"

Yuanshi and the others were startled.

The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords were hailed as the Primordial World's foremost weapons of slaughter, as well as its foremost supreme treasures of baleful power.

Once unleashed, only the combined strength of four saints could overcome them.

Clearly, the appearance of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords had exceeded their expectations.

Tongtian intended to kill them!

"Tongtian, you dare unleash the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords against us? Aren't you afraid the Dao Ancestor will punish you when he learns of this?!"

Among the Two Sages of the West, Zhunti wore a grave expression, and the desire to retreat had already stirred in his eyes.

Only the combined strength of four saints could overcome the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

Although their side happened to have exactly four saints, breaking the formation would not be easy.

Someone among them would inevitably have to pay a price.

Zhunti had come intending to stoke the conflict between Yuanshi and Tongtian.

But only on the condition that he would not get dragged down with them.

After all, the Western Teachings were already impoverished enough.

If he suffered further losses helping Yuanshi overcome the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords...

Then the gains would not make up for the losses.

In the distance, however, Tongtian ignored Zhunti's words.

Cold light flashed in his eyes, and the temperature around him plunged to an extreme.

Across the surface of the Eastern Sea, ice spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, it froze the sea within a hundred thousand kilometers.

At that moment, Tongtian pointed toward the Four Saints from afar.

The four immortal swords instantly shot out in four directions, trapping the Four Saints within.

Endless slaughtering qi surged between heaven and earth.

The surging sword qi shattered even the void.

As though seeking to sever heaven, earth, and the cosmos, the sword qi engulfed the Four Saints.

"Tongtian, stop at once!"

Jieyin hurriedly cried out.

But it was already too late.

Tongtian stood where he was, his expression indifferent, and uttered a single word.

"Slay!"

Boom!

As Tongtian's word fell, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation sprang into motion.

Heaven and earth turned scarlet, as though soaked in the blood of ten thousand immortals.

In just one breath, the surging sword qi drove the Four Saints back again and again.

Yuanshi hurriedly summoned the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud above his head to protect himself.

But beneath the onslaught of that boundless sword qi...

The Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud let out a mournful cry and dimmed in an instant.

Yuanshi himself was engulfed by the sword qi.

Even his saintly flesh was slashed with several bloody wounds.

"How has the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation become so powerful?!"

Yuanshi's face turned ashen as he roared in defiance.

He was actually on the verge of failing to withstand the boundless sword qi before him!

"Enough!"

"Tongtian, there is still time to stop."

"Otherwise, once you draw the Dao Ancestor's attention, no one in the Primordial World will be able to save you!"

Within the sword formation, Taishang had lost his earlier composure.

Anxiety filled his face as he shouted at Tongtian.

But Tongtian paid him no heed whatsoever.

Under his control, the sword qi within the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation grew ever denser.

With this move, Tongtian was clearly holding nothing back.

His intent seemed to be to slaughter all Four Saints, leaving none alive!
