Provocation! Laozi and Yuanshi's Fury! Tongtian Appears!

Outside Kunlun Mountain.

Nether River and Eastern Duke simultaneously discovered each other, causing both of them to become serious.

"Who are you?"

Eastern Duke asked first, his eyes full of apprehension.

He could feel that the cultivation of the person before him was not weaker than his own.

Without a doubt, he must also be an Innate Great Power!

If the other party had appeared from within Kunlun Mountain, he might have even thought he was the famous Shangqing Tongtian.

Nether River also sized up Eastern Duke warily, but still announced himself: "This venerable one is Nether River of the Sea of Blood!"

"I have come to Kunlun Mountain today to challenge Shangqing Tongtian."

"And you are?"

Eastern Duke's expression was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. So the person before him had also come for Shangqing Tongtian.

Moreover, he had indeed heard of the reputation of Nether River of the Sea of Blood.

To be able to cultivate in such a filthy place in the Primordial World, this Great Power seemed to indeed possess some skill.

"Hahaha, this venerable one is not Shangqing Tongtian. This venerable one is Eastern Duke, and I have also come to challenge Tongtian this time!"

Eastern Duke laughed heartily.

Nether River nodded slightly, and immediately had some thoughts. He said frankly: "Since fellow Daoist has come to challenge Tongtian, do you know what kind of abilities Tongtian possesses? To be able to gain fame throughout the Primordial World?"

Eastern Duke shook his head: "This venerable one does not know this, but I do hope he is not someone who merely boasts of his reputation."

"Otherwise, this Pangu Sect Disciple would be too unworthy."

Nether River chuckled: "That suits me perfectly."

"Since that is the case, how about we go up the mountain together and issue a challenge?"

Eastern Duke immediately agreed with a nod, and the two quickly arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Eastern Duke circulated his magic power and shouted loudly: "Is Shangqing Tongtian here?"

"This venerable one has traveled a long distance, come out quickly to meet me!"

At this time, Tongtian was visiting West Kunlun, so naturally, no one paid attention to the two.

However, Laozi and Yuanshi, who were discussing the Dao in the Three Pure Ones Hall, heard them.

The next moment, their figures appeared from within Kunlun Mountain.

Looking at the two people before them, Laozi and Yuanshi could not help but frown. They did not recognize these two.

"What do you two want with Tongtian?"

"He is not in Kunlun Mountain."

Yuanshi said in a deep voice.

Eastern Duke and Nether River were both surprised upon hearing this. Tongtian was not in Kunlun Mountain?

Did this mean they had made a wasted trip?

"Enough nonsense, we are here for Tongtian."

"Who are you two? Do you know where Tongtian went? When will he return?!"

Eastern Duke questioned with an arrogant expression.

This kind of arrogant attitude immediately made Laozi and Yuanshi very displeased.

This fellow is definitely not a Primordial Golden Immortal. A mere Grand Luo Golden Immortal dares to be so arrogant in front of their Pangu Sect Disciple?

Truly ignorant of what is good for him!

"We two are Tongtian's elder brothers, and also Pangu Sect Disciples."

"If you two have something to say, say it. If not, leave Kunlun Mountain quickly. Outsiders are not welcome here."

Laozi said with an unpleasant expression.

This statement made Nether River and Eastern Duke both stunned for a moment.

"This venerable one thought you two were the attendant boys guarding Tongtian."

"You are actually Tongtian's elder brothers?"

"It seems that this fellow Tongtian is nothing special!"

Eastern Duke shook his head, saying with some disappointment.

He had thought that Tongtian, who was famous throughout the Primordial World, would have some extraordinary qualities. At the very least, he should have been slightly superior to them in cultivation and aura.

As a result, the two people before him claimed to be Tongtian's elder brothers, yet their cultivation was equal to theirs.

This meant that Tongtian did not have much ability either.

It was just that because no other Innate Great Powers had appeared in the Primordial World yet, he had gained such a great reputation.

It could be said they were living up to their name in the worst way!

Nether River also sighed, "I never expected Shangqing Tongtian to be such a fame-seeker."

"Truly disappointing. I shouldn't have made this trip."

"A complete waste of my chance to meditate and attain enlightenment."

These words infuriated Laozi and Yuanshi.

They were seething!

It was one thing for elders like Hongjun to think they were inferior to their third brother, but now two arrogant individuals had shown up and dared to look down on them too?!

They were, after all, Pangu Sect Disciples. Not just anyone could push them around!

"Bold scoundrels! How dare you spout such nonsense before us, Pangu Sect Disciples."

"You are truly beyond arrogant!"

Yuanshi's expression was furious. These two were clearly here to pick a fight.

If they didn't teach these two a lesson, wouldn't the reputation of the Three Pure Ones be ruined?

No matter how much they envied or were jealous of Tongtian, that was a matter between brothers.

What right did these outsiders have to judge them?!

Laozi's face was also ashen. He said coldly, "My third brother's name resounds throughout the Primordial World, his achievements are remarkable. How can you defame the reputation of us Pangu Sect Disciples?"

"Moreover, to deal with the two of you, there's no need for my third brother to act personally."

"The two of us are more than enough!"

These words were met with disdain from Eastern Duke and Nether River.

Pangu Sect Disciples, what a grand title.

"Since that's the case, do you dare to spar with us?"

"If you can defeat us, it will prove that the Pangu Sect Disciples are truly worthy of their name. If you two are no match for us, then you are merely seeking fame."

Nether River directly issued the challenge.

With the arrow nocked and ready, Laozi and Yuanshi certainly couldn't back down.

Furthermore, they had absolute confidence in their own strength.

Did they really think any two Innate Great Powers who happened to show up could be their opponents?

Today would be the day they made a name for themselves!

It was time for all beings in the Primordial World to know that the Three Pure Ones were three brothers, not just Shangqing Tongtian.

"Fine, we'll play with you for now. I don't believe that once we defeat you, Tongtian won't show up!"

Eastern Duke laughed heartily. The next moment, his cultivation at the peak of Grand Luo Golden Immortal erupted.

Yuanshi let out a cold snort. He was incredibly angry right now!

He absolutely had to teach these two a harsh lesson to vent his frustration.

Thus, he directly unleashed the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Three Treasures Jade Scepter.

Buzz!

The Three Treasures Jade Scepter tore through the air and instantly arrived before Eastern Duke.

Eastern Duke wore a look of disdain. Just a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Did it think it could defeat him?!

Since he dared to come challenge Tongtian, he naturally had his own confidence.

The next moment, a staff appeared in his hand. This staff released astonishing power, clearly another Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Eastern Duke raised the Herding Immortal Staff and directly clashed it with the Three Treasures Jade Scepter.

Rumble!

Ripples immediately spread through the void, like pebbles dropped into a pond, creating waves.

Yuanshi's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't expected the opponent to also possess a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

No wonder he dared to be so arrogant!

However, before he could think further, he saw Eastern Duke form another hand seal. White light suddenly appeared beneath him, and then the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus, manifested.

This was also a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

One of the Twelfth Grade Lotus Platforms, capable of both offense and defense.

Whoosh!

With the power of the Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus bolstering him, Eastern Duke immediately swung the Herding Immortal Staff forward.

Immense pressure transformed into howling gales. Yuanshi directly used Yuqing Celestial Light to resist.

However, under the might of the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the sky full of celestial light was shattered into pieces.

Yuanshi's heart sank, knowing that today would likely be a tough battle.

He could only hope his eldest brother would put up a good fight and defeat Nether River quickly. That way, even if he himself fought to a draw with the person before him, it would still be enough to showcase the prestige of the Three Pure Ones.

Laozi confronted Nether River, the Coiled Dragon Cane in his hand imbued with terrifying power.

Every strike forced Nether River to retreat.

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "You don't have a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, so you're definitely no match for me."

"It's not too late to retreat now."

Nether River couldn't help but burst into laughter. He naturally possessed Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and he had three of them!

The only reason he hadn't revealed them immediately was because he had underestimated Laozi and the other.

"Then I'll let you see my true strength!"

Nether River roared, and in the next moment, the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword appeared in his palm.

Both swords contained astonishing killing intent, and their destructive aura was incredibly sharp!

This caused Laozi to become serious as well.

But that wasn't all. Nether River took a step forward, and a twelfth-grade lotus platform appeared beneath his feet.

A Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelfth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus!

"Three Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures! How does this guy have so many spiritual treasures?"

Laozi's heart trembled. He was a Pangu Sect Disciple, yet he only possessed one Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

And this opponent had three!

This situation was not good for him!

But he didn't overthink it, swinging the Coiled Dragon Cane and striking forward through the air.

Nether River sneered, and the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword in his hands unleashed astonishing might, easily blocking Laozi's attack.

After parrying the blow, the Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword, carrying immense power, charged towards Laozi.

Laozi could only hastily parry.

Their cultivation levels were similar. If he were to be hit by the opponent's two Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, he would likely suffer serious injuries.

At this moment, he thought of Tongtian's Heavenly Yellow Linglong Pagoda.

If he had been the first to take human form back then, that Innate Merit Treasure would have been his!

With that Innate Merit Treasure in his hand, no matter how many Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures the opponent had, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Swish swish swish!

The Yuantu Sword and Abi Sword simultaneously unleashed endless sharpness, combined with the might of the Twelfth Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, instantly suppressing Laozi.

On West Kunlun.

Tongtian had already noticed the battle unfolding before Kunlun Mountain.

He hadn't expected Eastern Duke and Nether River to come specifically to challenge him.

It seemed his recent prominence in the Primordial World had attracted the attention of others.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, what's wrong?"

Sensing that Tongtian had everything under control, Queen Mother of the West asked softly.

Tongtian smiled and said, "It's nothing!"

"Just a minor matter."

These two indeed had decent combat strength, but he didn't plan to reveal himself so soon.

Because in his eyes, both Eastern Duke and Nether River were too weak.

If they had the cultivation of a Quasi-Sage, he wouldn't mind fighting them for fun.

But they were merely Grand Luo Golden Immortals, not his opponents at all.

It was better to let Laozi and Yuanshi deal with them for now.

Rumble rumble!

At this moment, the battle between Laozi and the other four intensified, the ripples spreading throughout heaven and earth.

Queen Mother of the West also felt something and looked towards Kunlun with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.

Even Xihe and Changxi sensed it.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, is someone causing trouble on the mountain?"

Xihe asked proactively.

Tongtian said calmly, "That's right, someone has indeed come to challenge us, and my two elder brothers are currently fighting them."

"If you're interested, we can watch from a distance."

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother of the West and the other two were somewhat surprised. With Tongtian's reputation in the Primordial World, someone actually dared to cause trouble on Kunlun Mountain?

"Are they really trying to get themselves killed by coming here?!"

The three women lost their interest in discussing the Dao and immediately followed Tongtian to the foot of West Kunlun Mountain, where they could get a glimpse of the battle.

"These two must also be quite famous Primordial Mighty Ones; they actually possess so many Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

Queen Mother of the West said with a somewhat serious expression.

Xihe and Changxi nodded in agreement. Tongtian remained silent, continuing to watch the fight.

On the ground...

The battle between the four caused the surrounding mountains to tremble, and the ground was covered in cracks of varying depths, a shocking sight.

Laozi and Yuanshi each only had one Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure in their hands, and they couldn't gain any advantage in the fight.

This put immense pressure on both of them.

"Heh heh, is this the strength of the Pangu Sect Disciples?"

"Nothing more than this! From what I see, Tongtian probably isn't that capable either."

Eastern Duke said disdainfully, suppressing Yuanshi.

Yuanshi's strength was simply too weak; he hadn't even gone all out, and the other party was already easily suppressed by him.

Hearing this, Yuanshi's pupils instantly burned with rage.

Too much!

This is simply too much!

Although he felt some envy and jealousy towards Tongtian, they were all Pangu Sect Disciples and should stand united against outsiders.

"Arrogant fool!"

"Defeat me first, then talk!"

Yuanshi grunted, and his aura began to climb rapidly.

The attacks from the Three Treasures Jade Scepter also became fiercer.

It hovered beside him, shattering the void repeatedly and launching sharp assaults.

Eastern Duke sneered. The Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus shone brightly, blocking the attacks of the Three Treasures Jade Scepter multiple times.

The Herding Immortal Staff in his hand struck towards Yuanshi's weak points without mercy.

Yuanshi could barely resist with his cultivation.

However, his physical body was not as strong as Tongtian's, and he was completely at a disadvantage.

After less than a hundred exchanges, Eastern Duke found a flaw in his defense. Fortunately, Yuanshi sensed it and narrowly dodged the attack from the Herding Immortal Staff.

Otherwise, he would have suffered no small injuries.

Taking advantage of the brief respite, Yuanshi glanced at Laozi's battle in the distance.

Upon seeing it, his entire being felt terrible.

He had been waiting for Laozi to finish his fight, only to find that Laozi was also in a tough battle.

Moreover, his opponent seemed even stronger than the one he was facing, actually wielding three Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

"Yuqing Celestial Light!"

Yuanshi formed hand seals, and a sharp light burst from his eyes.

He directly unleashed his most powerful divine ability.

Buzz!

The power of the Yuqing Celestial Light was undeniable; it was the might of a top-tier divine ability.

However, Eastern Duke possessed two Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and he didn't take Yuanshi's attack seriously at all.

Mysterious power flowed from the Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus, unleashing a vast purifying force.

The power of the Yuqing Celestial Light was directly weakened by several times, and the remaining power was easily neutralized by the Herding Immortal Staff.

Seeing this, Yuanshi's heart grew heavy, but to preserve the dignity of the Pangu Sect Disciples, he could only grit his teeth and continue the fierce battle with Eastern Duke.

Eastern Duke sneered even more at this and unleashed his full power.

He wanted to quickly take down Yuanshi.

Fortunately, although Yuanshi lacked defensive spiritual treasures, his combat power was truly not weak. Even though he was constantly at a disadvantage, he managed to stalemate Eastern Duke.

Laozi's situation wasn't much better either. Nether River wielded both the Yuantu Sword and the Abi Sword, both of which were Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Both swords contained boundless killing intent.

This made it very difficult for him to parry, as he only had the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Coiled Dragon Cane in his hand.

Fortunately, Nether River did not possess overly powerful divine abilities.

Therefore, Laozi continuously unleashed the Taiqing Celestial Light, and he was finally able to barely fight Nether River.

"Fellow Daoist, your two elder brothers are at a disadvantage with their spiritual treasures. I fear they are no match for these two."

"Do you need me to step in and help?"

Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Tongtian and asked.

The Three Pure Ones were all Pangu Sect Disciples and brothers.

If she could become Tongtian's Dao companion, these two would also be her elder brothers.

Therefore, if Tongtian asked, she would be willing to help.

Tongtian shook his head, "No need! This isn't a battle to the death, just a spar."

"My two elder brothers don't have much combat experience, so this is an opportunity for them to hone their skills."

"If they were in danger, I would naturally intervene."

"Besides, these two are likely here to challenge me. It's just that I happened to be visiting you, Daoist friend, which is why they turned their attention to my elder brothers."

Hearing Tongtian's words, Queen Mother of the West didn't say anything further.

She knew very well that despite the powerful combat strength displayed by Eastern Duke and Nether River.

If Tongtian were to make a move, these two would definitely not be his match.

After all, Tongtian had fought against and annihilated hundreds of millions of Demon Clan soldiers in the Western World.

These two might be considered strong among the Innate Great Powers, but compared to Tongtian, they were far inferior.

Not to mention that Tongtian had now emerged from seclusion, his combat power was likely even more astonishing.

"The Three Pure Ones do seem to have some skill."

"But that's all there is to it!"

"If you two admit defeat, you're simply no match for us."

At this moment, Eastern Duke was becoming somewhat impatient. This guy was clearly not his opponent.

Yet, he stubbornly refused to admit defeat, instead dragging him here.

Was this a case of not being able to accept defeat?!

Moreover, their target was Tongtian. Wasting time on these two was simply not worth it.

These words enraged Yuanshi. He was already a proud person; otherwise, he wouldn't have considered parting ways because he couldn't keep up with Tongtian.

Now, not only his third brother, but any two random Innate Great Powers, were acting like they were superior to them?

How could he tolerate such a thing!

He immediately unleashed more of his abilities, and the full power of the Three Treasures Jade Scepter erupted. It transformed into a stream of light in the void, constantly traversing through space.

Eastern Duke let out a cold snort, completely disregarding the opponent's resistance.

Nether River also didn't want to continue entangled with Laozi.

He said in a deep voice, "Daoist friend, if you don't surrender soon."

"Don't blame me for showing no mercy with my sword."

"My Yuantu and Abi are swords of slaughter. If I go all out, I fear today's encounter will not end well."

A flicker of anger flashed in Laozi's eyes. What did this guy mean?

Even now, after fighting for so long, he still dared to hold back?

Did he look down on him that much?!

However, he also noticed the situation with Yuanshi and knew very well.

His brother and he lacked spiritual treasures, making it impossible to defeat these two before them.

"I don't know where third brother has gone. If third brother were here, how could he let these two continue to be so presumptuous!"

"If this gets out, won't our reputation as Pangu Sect Disciples be ruined?"

Laozi thought to himself.

Tongtian's rapid progress had indeed made them, as elder brothers, feel a bit uneasy.

But the Three Pure Ones were one. If these two came to Kunlun Mountain to provoke them.

And they didn't teach them a lesson, the entire Three Pure Ones would lose face!

This was something they absolutely could not tolerate!

Tongtian, who had been secretly observing the battle, shook his head at this moment. He could see that Laozi and Yuanshi were indeed no match for Eastern Duke and Nether River.

It wasn't that their cultivation was inferior, but simply that they had too few spiritual treasures and lacked combat power.

If this continued, given the pride of his two elder brothers, they might go to any lengths.

That would be a loss outweighing the gain.

Moreover, these two were here for him, so it was only right for him to step in.

Thus, he took a step forward, his figure moving from the mountain towards the battlefield.

Seeing this, Queen Mother of the West still had some worry in her eyes. Although Tongtian had many achievements, these two Innate Great Powers were not to be trifled with.

"Don't worry, with Daoist Tongtian's abilities, those two are definitely no match for him."

Xihe and Changxi, for their part, had great confidence in Tongtian.

They had witnessed Tongtian display his divine might many times before.

The strength of these two wasn't in their combat prowess, but in the Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures they wielded.

However, in this regard, Daoist Tongtian had a much greater advantage!

On the battlefield.

Tongtian appeared, chuckling, "Two elder brothers, have you been in seclusion too long and decided to find someone to spar with?"

As his voice rang out, Laozi and Yuanshi's expressions immediately lit up with joy.

Third Brother had arrived!

Let's see how arrogant these two could be now!

With Third Brother here, they would surely be able to teach them a harsh lesson.

Whoosh!

With the main player appearing, Laozi and Yuanshi ceased their entanglement and immediately moved to Tongtian's side.

"Third Brother, these two are arrogant and presumptuous, daring to look down upon my Pangu Sect Disciple lineage."

"Don't hold back when you strike, you must let them know the might of my Pangu Sect Disciple lineage!"

Yuanshi said with a solemn expression.

Laozi also said gravely, "If they had come to seek guidance, that would be one thing."

"But these two have repeatedly disparaged my Pangu Sect Disciple lineage; their crime is unforgivable!"

Tongtian had been observing from the shadows all along and was naturally aware of the situation.

At this moment, Eastern Duke and Nether River also turned their gazes to Tongtian.

After just a glance, mockery returned to their faces.

The pressure emanating from this fellow wasn't obvious, appearing to be about the same as Laozi and Yuanshi.

The Shangqing Tongtian, renowned throughout the Primordial World, was just this?
