Rahou's Trump Card! Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation! Tongtian's Confidence!

As they watched Rahou appear in the void, joy appeared on the faces of Hongjun and the other three.

They had finally forced this fellow out.

The next step was to follow their plan and kill him outright.

Tongtian felt neither sorrow nor joy when he saw how furious Rahou was.

What a joke!

In his eyes, the Demon Clan was an incomparably vast amount of Heavenly Dao Merit.

It was only because he had yet to attain the cultivation of a Primordial Golden Immortal. Otherwise, he would have even wanted to slaughter the entire Demon Clan. The Heavenly Dao Merit he could gain from that would surely have been astronomical.

So it was not that he insisted on opposing Rahou. It could only be said that the Heavenly Dao was offering far too much!

No one could possibly refuse that!

"Senior, leave the Demon Clan army to me."

"You only need to focus on dealing with Rahou. If you can kill him, this war should come to an end."

Tongtian looked at Hongjun and the other three as he spoke.

Because of the strength Tongtian had displayed, Yang Mei and the other two did not dare underestimate him in the slightest.

Given enough time, this child would surely become one of the top experts in the Primordial World!

It was only a pity that he had not yet broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Otherwise, they would have gained another helper today.

Still, if Tongtian could hold back this enormous Demon Clan army for them, he would have made a great contribution.

"Good! But do not push yourself too hard. If you truly cannot hold on, call for the four of us."

"We will certainly come to your aid."

Yang Mei's eyes shifted as he directly offered Tongtian a favor.

Hongjun wore a smile. He was becoming more and more satisfied with Tongtian's performance.

By comparison, his other two disciples, Laozi and Yuanshi, appeared somewhat foolish.

They clearly knew they lacked the ability, yet stubbornly insisted on coming along.

They had nearly caused the four of them to fall into Rahou's scheme.

Tongtian slightly cupped his hands in thanks, then gripped the Qingping Sword and charged once more toward the Demon Clan army.

This entire Demon Clan army was merit!

Even if he could not kill them all, every additional kill meant another share of merit.

Once the Dao-Demon War ended, there would no longer be such a wonderful opportunity anywhere in heaven and earth.

Thus, Tongtian had already prepared for a prolonged battle. With Three Lights Divine Water and his powerful physical body, he was fully capable of facing the countless Demon Clan army alone!

As Mora watched Tongtian launch an attack by himself, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.

Madman! This fellow was a complete madman.

The Demon Clan had never lacked crazed individuals, but this was the first time he had seen someone even crazier than the Demon Clan.

Facing the countless Demon Clan army alone.

No one with a sound mind could do something like that.

"Kill him at all costs!"

Mora gave the order in a deep voice. The next moment, the Demon Clan army surged like a tidal wave and surrounded Tongtian.

Tongtian held the Qingping Sword and unleashed the Azure Lotus Swordplay once again.

For a time, azure lotuses slowly bloomed between heaven and earth.

Beneath their brilliant beauty lay endless sword qi and chilling killing intent!

Mora also seized the chance to launch a sneak attack from the shadows. The high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Demon Blade, became a streak of light and slashed toward Tongtian's back.

Tongtian's expression did not change in the slightest. With a backhanded strike, he sent the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Reincarnation Seal, crashing out.

Mora had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for a chance to strike at him, but he did not know Tongtian had also been searching for an opportunity to kill him!

Mora was the only peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the Demon Clan!

As long as he killed Mora, no one else posed even the slightest threat to Tongtian.

After all, he had the protection of the Innate Merit Treasure, Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda!

Those Demon Clan members whose realms were lower than his could not even break through the defense of this Merit Treasure.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Qingping Sword tore through the sky in succession. Terrifying sword qi crisscrossed the void, leaving even the void itself covered in cracks, as though it had been directly cleaved apart by the Qingping Sword.

Large numbers of Demon Clan members died beneath the Qingping Sword.

Continuously operating the Azure Lotus Swordplay rapidly drained Tongtian's mana. Drop after drop of Three Lights Divine Water was refined by him, becoming an unending source of mana.

This allowed him to grow stronger the more he fought, like a war god.

Though the Demon Clan army numbered beyond count, it seemed utterly incapable of doing anything to him.

Meanwhile, Mora's stealthy attack was directly crushed by the Reincarnation Seal. Seizing the opportunity, Tongtian unleashed the divine ability Solar True Fire and instantly swallowed him whole.

This entire scene fell perfectly into the eyes of two Daoists hiding in the shadows.

Jieyin and Zhunti both could not help but gasp.

Brutal—far too brutal!

Who exactly was this Daoist? How could he possess such terrifying combat strength?

That was a countless Demon Clan army, yet they could not do anything to him for the moment?

Then they thought of themselves. In the Western World, the Demon Clan had hunted them relentlessly through the skies and across the earth, leaving them no choice but to live in hiding.

Had they not seen Hongjun and the others fighting Rahou, Jieyin and Zhunti would not even have dared approach.

"This fellow Daoist is truly ferocious!"

"This level of strength is genuinely enviable."

Zhunti's expression was filled with envy.

If the two brothers had been this fierce, why would they have needed to fear Rahou?

They would only have needed to find a place to hide for a while, wait until they attained the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and then contend with Rahou.

"This child can be called the savior of our Western World!"

Jieyin also spoke with a sigh.

At this moment, Tongtian, who was in the midst of battle, also sensed that someone else was secretly watching him.

This surprised him somewhat.

With the Western World in such chaos, there were actually still people who dared hide in the shadows and spy?

As his divine sense spread out, he quickly discovered the hidden Jieyin and Zhunti.

Of the two, Zhunti was undoubtedly the easier one to recognize. His skin, as golden as yellow metal, allowed Tongtian to recognize the pair at a glance.

He simply had not expected them to appear on the battlefield.

However, it did not seem as though the two intended to step forward, so Tongtian could not be bothered to pay them any attention.

He had already eliminated Mora, the only person who posed a threat. The remaining Demon Clan army was nothing but trash to him.

Thus, he immediately brought out the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.

The Solar True Fire contained within it surged out under Tongtian's control like a tide.

Rumble!

The vast Solar True Fire resembled great waves. Every Demon Clan member it touched was reduced to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, even the land of the Western World had been scorched. Countless plants within it vanished into nothingness.

Tongtian was not worried about this, however. Due to the outbreak of the Dao-Demon War, there had long been no living beings in the surrounding region, so his actions would not incur any karma or negative consequences.

Besides, he was burning the land of the Western World, not the Eastern Region.

Therefore, he did not feel the slightest heartache. Instead, he continued controlling the Solar True Fire to engulf the remaining Demon Clan members.

In an instant, the countless Demon Clan army was like moths rushing into flames, with more than half of them killed or wounded!

Tongtian was extremely satisfied with such power. This Solar True Fire truly was a devastating weapon.

He wondered whether Dijun and Taiyi had returned to the Sun Star. Once he had the time, he would definitely visit the Sun Star again and collect more Solar True Fire.

Within a valley somewhere in the Primordial World.

Dijun and Taiyi, who were cultivating in seclusion, suddenly felt their hearts tremble with dread.

"Why do I feel as though someone has set their sights on us brothers?"

Taiyi muttered, feeling a chill run through his entire body.

Dijun's expression also darkened as he said, "I feel it too!"

"It seems something concerning us brothers is about to happen. We must cultivate quickly and improve our realms."

The two thus calmed their minds and continued their secluded cultivation.

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti, who were watching from the shadows, wore expressions of utter disbelief.

The Solar True Fire burning the Demon Clan was indeed a terrifying sight.

But the land of the Western World had also been burned away!

From this day onward, the surrounding area would likely become a barren desert.

This was their place of cultivation!

The two exchanged a glance and immediately felt heartbroken.

But they also knew that they had no power to influence this battle. They could only stare at each other speechlessly, wanting to weep but without tears.

As the Solar True Fire continued to burn, in less than a hundred years, the entire countless Demon Clan army had been reduced to ashes.

One could imagine that once the battle ended, Tongtian would surely receive an enormous amount of Heavenly Dao Merit.

Yet he could not bring himself to feel happy.

Because the Three Lights Divine Water in his possession had nearly been exhausted!

This showed just how horrifying the consumption of this battle had been for him.

Fortunately, he had finally dealt with the entire Demon Clan army. Next, it depended on when Hongjun's side would determine the victor.

Once Rahou died, the Dao-Demon War could end.

Looking up, Tongtian could not help but sigh inwardly.

Rahou was truly powerful. Hongjun and the other three were all Primordial Golden Immortal experts, yet Rahou had still held on for a full hundred years under their siege.

No wonder Hongjun had not chosen to fight him alone, instead bringing in Great Immortal Yang Mei and the other two to join forces.

It seemed Hongjun himself had not been confident he could deal with Rahou alone!

Above the void.

Hongjun and the other three wore grave expressions. They had battled Rahou for a hundred years already.

This fellow's combat strength was indeed formidable, but the four of them were confident they could win this battle.

"Attack together! He should be unable to hold on much longer."

After Hongjun spoke in a deep voice, the Creation Jade Plate in his hand immediately released a dazzling radiance.

Yang Mei and the other two also brought out their treasures one after another.

Multicolored lights filled the void. The terrifying power was more than the void could bear, and it began to collapse on a massive scale.

Rahou roared and tightly gripped the Innate Supreme Treasure, God-Slaying Spear, thrusting it forward.

The next moment, a massive explosion covered the boundless void. Rahou was sent flying backward by the force, and without pausing in the slightest, fled toward Mount Tianmo.

He appeared to have been defeated by the combined attack of Hongjun and the other three.

This delighted Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Yinyang.

"Hahaha, this bastard finally cannot hold on any longer!"

"We must not let him go so easily. Strike while he is down and take his life."

Ancestor Yinyang laughed loudly and took the lead in pursuing him.

Yang Mei and Ancestor Qiankun also gave chase.

Tongtian's eyes flickered. Had Rahou truly been defeated so easily?

He frowned. If he remembered correctly, Rahou should still possess a trump card like the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Now that he was heading toward Mount Tianmo, could the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation be hidden within Mount Tianmo?

However, Tongtian did not speak to warn them. Hongjun had told him before that he was also aware of Rahou's trump card.

Besides, he could deal with Grand Luo Golden Immortals, but he had no desire to confront Rahou directly.

Especially not the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which was certainly not something he could contend with right now.

It was better to honestly follow behind them and pick up a few benefits.

Hongjun gazed at the fleeing Rahou, his eyes incomparably deep. Rahou wanted to turn the situation around with his trump card? Then they would see just how powerful that trump card truly was!

Tongtian followed behind Hongjun, and before long, the two arrived near Mount Tianmo.

Rahou had already stopped. He faced Yang Mei and the other two in the void.

"Rahou, your scheme has completely failed!"

"If you disperse yourself now, you may still preserve some dignity."

Ancestor Qiankun spoke in a deep voice, believing Rahou had been utterly defeated.

Rahou burst into wild laughter at those words and roared, "Do you truly think I fear you?"

"I was merely waiting for all of you to step into my trap!"

"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, arise!"

As his words fell, the entire Mount Tianmo instantly began to collapse. Then, four streaks of sword light containing boundless killing intent shot into the sky.

The next moment, the Four Swords of Zhuxian flew out from Mount Tianmo. After circling through the void several times, a grand formation descended from above.

Hongjun and the other three, who had already stepped into the trap, were instantly enveloped by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Tongtian was also within the range of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. He could feel the endless killing intent contained within the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

They could be said to be four murderous swords overflowing with killing aura!

He hurriedly used Ground Shrinking Step, trying to leave the range of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

But he was still a step too late. An invisible pressure descended directly upon him. The next moment, Rahou stepped through the air toward him with the God-Slaying Spear in hand, his gaze icy cold.

Rahou's expression was savage as he sneered, "You are merely a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, yet you dared ruin my plans time and again!"

"If I let you escape, would not all living beings in heaven and earth mock my name?"

"Besides, you slaughtered so many members of my Demon Clan. Your crime deserves ten thousand deaths!"

The killing intent erupting from Rahou completely locked onto Tongtian.

Tongtian's primordial spirit trembled incessantly as he sensed a tremendous crisis between life and death.

With his current cultivation, he was definitely no match for Rahou.

Tongtian felt bitter inside. Facing the ferocious Rahou, he gave an awkward smile. "Senior, please wait!"

"This actually has little to do with me. Senior Hongjun and the others were the ones who told me to do it."

"If you want to avenge the Demon Clan, you should be looking for Senior Hongjun and the others!"

"Wouldn't attacking me be bullying the weak?"

Rahou sneered. "Sharp-tongued, aren't you? Don't worry. Once I kill you, not a single one of Hongjun's group will escape."

"You damned bastards will all die!"

As his words fell, the God-Slaying Spear in his hand pierced through space. This incomparably swift strike left several afterimages in Tongtian's eyes, and he did not even have time to react.

At the critical moment, the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda above his head trembled slightly. Vast amounts of mysterious yellow energy poured down, enveloping Tongtian within.

However, the gap between their realms was immense, and the God-Slaying Spear was likewise an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Thus, the God-Slaying Spear's might easily pierced through the Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda's defenses and shot through Tongtian's chest with unstoppable force.

"Pfft!"

With just one strike, Tongtian was gravely wounded. He forcibly swallowed the blood rising in his throat.

He had never expected Rahou's combat strength to be so terrifying!

He could not even withstand a single blow.

Yet this did not make him afraid in the slightest. Instead, it stirred the fury in his heart.

Damn it! This guy thinks I'm easy to bully, so he wants to kill me first.

Does he really think I have no ability to fight back at all?!

He truly could not defeat his opponent, but Rahou would not find it so easy to kill him either!

Thus, Tongtian hardened his heart and directly activated the vast Heavenly Dao Merit within his body.

Strands of golden light spread from his skin. In an instant, he turned into a golden figure. With the support of Heavenly Dao Merit, Tongtian forcibly blasted the God-Slaying Spear, a supreme treasure of slaughter, out of his body.

With a wave of his hand, the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Northern Mysterious Control Water Flag, also rose above his head.

That was not all. He activated all the Heavenly Dao Merit in his body. Amid brilliant light, a faintly visible Golden Wheel of Merit condensed behind him.

This was a Golden Wheel of Merit that only those with immense merit could condense!

"Come! If you have the ability, kill me!"

With Heavenly Dao Merit protecting his body, Tongtian's confidence immediately soared as he openly provoked Rahou face-to-face.

Rahou was dumbfounded. Setting aside the fact that Tongtian was protected by both a Merit Treasure and a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, where had this fellow obtained so much Heavenly Dao Merit?!

Even as a mighty Primordial Golden Immortal, he could not possibly wear away so much Heavenly Dao Merit in one go!

But what he lacked most right now was time. How could he waste so much of it on Tongtian?

"Ridiculous! Do you think I can do nothing to you just because merit protects you?"

"I can imprison you and torture you bit by bit, until you beg for death!"

Seeing Tongtian remain fearless, Rahou threatened him with a vicious expression.

Tongtian snorted coldly. The next moment, even denser golden merit light appeared. This was clearly the Heaven-Opening Merit within his body.

The Heaven-Opening Merit was dense and pure, manifesting around him like a golden halo.

Rahou fell silent at once. Damn it!

Heaven-Opening Merit!

This guy actually possessed such dense Heaven-Opening Merit too. How the hell was anyone supposed to deal with that?!

Even if he were given tens of thousands of years, he would have no ability to wear away so much merit.

Not to mention that Heaven-Opening Merit was exceptionally pure. If he dared to kill Tongtian, the Heavenly Dao would probably send down heavenly tribulation against him immediately.

No wonder this fellow was still so arrogant before him. He truly had nothing to fear!

The thought made Rahou grit his teeth in fury. He was Rahou, an ancient mighty expert—when had anyone ever forced him into such a state?

"Keep your dog life for now. Once I kill Hongjun and the others first, I'll come back and deal with you!"

After speaking with murderous intent, Rahou immediately put away the God-Slaying Spear. With a leap, he entered the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Watching Rahou leave without hesitation, Tongtian also let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this fellow had no intention of wasting time on him.

Otherwise, he truly would have worried whether Heaven-Opening Merit could save his life.

"Fortunately, I was cautious and kept some distance from Hongjun and the others."

"Otherwise, even if I used Ground Shrinking Step, I probably would not have been able to escape the range of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

"I hope Hongjun and the others can kill Rahou as soon as possible."

Tongtian's expression was complicated. In any case, he had no ability to contend with Rahou.

Being able to preserve his life in Rahou's hands was already exceedingly rare.

As for Hongjun and the others inside the great formation, they could only fend for themselves.

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, Rahou himself had not appeared, yet the might unleashed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation still kept Hongjun's group of four from relaxing in the slightest.

They used every method at their disposal to resist the sky-filling, murderous sword qi.

"In my opinion, this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is nothing special!"

"As long as we find a flaw in it, we will certainly be able to break it."

Ancestor Qiankun stood beneath the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, and spoke with disdain.

Yang Mei frowned. "I fear it is not that simple."

"I suspect the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has not fully unleashed its power. Most likely, it is because Rahou is not personally presiding over the formation."

He had observed the formation for some time. Though he was not skilled in the Dao of formations, he was proficient in the laws of the Great Dao of space.

Yet the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could be called flawless. It did not possess the slightest defect in terms of space.

No matter how long he observed it, he could not find even the slightest weakness. It was truly impeccable.

"Rahou did not pursue us into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Could there be something more important than dealing with us?"

Ancestor Yinyang asked with a somewhat gloomy expression.

If he were Rahou, he would have long since followed them into the formation to kill them.

What exactly was Rahou plotting?

Hongjun frowned tightly. He too was guessing Rahou's intentions when his expression suddenly changed drastically. "This is bad! Little Friend Tongtian may be in mortal danger!"

As he spoke, anxiety filled his heart.

Tongtian had single-handedly wiped out the Demon Clan created by Rahou. Given Rahou's vengeful nature, he certainly would not spare Tongtian.

He simply had not expected Rahou's hatred for Tongtian to surpass even his hatred for the four of them.

Yang Mei and the other two immediately understood as well, and their expressions turned extremely grim.

"That damned Rahou actually bullies the weak and fears the strong? How could he go after a junior Grand Luo Golden Immortal first!"

Ancestor Yinyang cursed furiously, his expression dark.

Yang Mei took a deep breath. "There is no use worrying, and Little Friend Tongtian has Heaven-Opening Merit protecting him."

"Unless Rahou has gone mad, he should not try to kill him."

These words eased Hongjun's heart somewhat.

That was right. Tongtian possessed Heaven-Opening Merit. Unless Rahou was willing to spend endless years breaking through that Heavenly Dao Merit, he definitely could not forcibly kill Tongtian.

"Let us not concern ourselves with what is happening outside for now. We should quickly find a way to break this formation."

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, do you have any ideas about this formation?"

Ancestor Qiankun asked.

Hongjun sighed. "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei is so proficient in the laws of space, yet even he cannot find this formation's weakness."

"How could I possibly know the method to break it?"

As he said this, a shadow passed through his eyes.

He did know that Rahou possessed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation as a trump card, but he had still underestimated this formation's power.

Those overwhelming sword qi would probably gravely wound even a mighty expert at the early or middle stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm the moment they entered.

Fortunately, the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, in Ancestor Yinyang's possession possessed immensely powerful defensive strength.

Only then did the four of them have a temporarily safe place to stand.

Just as the four frowned in thought, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation suddenly changed. In the next moment, the vast sword qi condensed into a million-zhang-long sword that came crashing down as though it were splitting heaven and earth!
