Thus, Yuanshi had truly failed to gain any advantage over Tongtian this time.

In fact, the more Tongtian thought about it now, the more he felt that Lu Feng had been absolutely right.

If he had listened to Lu Feng from the start, how could things possibly have come to this today?

Still, it was not too late.

The Interception Sect had already disbanded.

No matter how fierce the wind and waves became, they could no longer crash down on its disciples!

But now that they had torn away all pretense, they might as well rip it to shreds!

That would keep this bunch from coming before him and making him sick for no reason in the future!

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi was so furious that he nearly stamped his feet.

Taishang Laozi held Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi back, then bowed to Hongjun.

"Teacher, this is a matter within our Mystic Gate."

"Since reconciliation is no longer possible, I ask that we settle it through battle!"

The challenge had already been issued.

Naturally, Tongtian was not afraid.

He had wanted to strike just moments ago, restrained only by his teacher's presence.

Otherwise, he would never have given Yuanshi and the others a chance to keep running their mouths.

Seeing that both sides agreed, Hongjun naturally did not stop them.

With Hongjun's approval, the three swiftly vanished from Zixiao Palace.

In the next instant, they appeared within Chaos.

A battle between Saints was a rare sight, and neither Nuwa nor the Two from the West wanted to miss it.

Besides, it had been a long time since Saints had fought.

Today, they could witness something truly rare.

Taishang Laozi had proposed this because he wanted to beat Tongtian into submission.

But Laozi and Yuanshi had two people on their side, while Tongtian stood alone.

Although these two from the Mystic Gate were shameless, even they could not openly gang up on a lone opponent.

Thus, as soon as they emerged, Yuanshi rolled up his sleeves and strode toward Tongtian.

"Senior Brother, let me go first!"

"It has been a long time since I last fought. Who knows when Junior Brother Tongtian began harboring thoughts of defying me!"

Taishang Laozi naturally had no objections. He immediately nodded and withdrew to one side.

Jieyin and Zhunti were both the sort who watched a spectacle without ever fearing it might grow too big.

Seeing Taishang Laozi step back, they flanked him, one on either side, and asked with smiles.

"Senior Brother Laozi, who do you think will win, Senior Brother Tongtian or Senior Brother Yuanshi?"

Taishang Laozi merely swept a glance over them before answering gravely.

"Junior Brother Yuanshi, of course."

Seeing Taishang Laozi throw his full support behind Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi,

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, but said nothing, merely smiling faintly.

Unlike Taishang Laozi, who favored Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi,

they had greater confidence in Tongtian.

Although Tongtian usually concealed his mountains and kept his waters hidden, he clearly had no fear of today's confrontation.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi, on the other hand, had fallen into the inferior position.

"Actually, I think Senior Brother Tongtian might have a slight edge."

"I agree. Even if Senior Brother Tongtian is younger, who can say for certain when it comes to cultivation?"

Despite Jieyin and Zhunti fanning the flames beside him, Taishang Laozi remained unmoved, simply watching Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Tongtian intently.

Nuwa said nothing from the sidelines, but she actually favored Tongtian too.

Over all these years, Tongtian had never made a move.

Yet her intuition told her that Tongtian would certainly be no weaker than Yuanshi.

The battle between Saints began swiftly.

Since Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and Tongtian had decided to settle things through battle, both had naturally prepared themselves.

That was why they had deliberately chosen the depths of Chaos.

If they fought with their powers in the Primordial World, more than half its living beings would likely be killed or injured within moments.

Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi only wanted this battle to make Tongtian understand that he was the senior brother, and that his authority was absolute.

Tongtian, meanwhile, was so angered by Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and the others that he no longer wanted to speak. He only wanted to fight.

"Tongtian, are you certain you want to fight me?"

Even now, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi remained haughty and overbearing.

Tongtian said not a word, silently summoning his Immortal Slaying Sword!

Looking at the Immortal Slaying Sword in Tongtian's hand, Yuanshi snorted coldly.

"Obstinate fool!"

Their auras surged, and within moments, two terrifying forces collided.

The oppressive might of Saints was terrifying indeed!

Meanwhile, within the Primordial World.

Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi looked into the depths of Chaos, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

"The Saints have made their move!"

"Have things actually reached such a point?"

Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

After sensing the auras emanating from the depths of Chaos, Haotian also frowned.

"These two auras..."

He vaguely felt that they were familiar.

One of them seemed to belong to Senior Brother Yuanshi.

But whose was the other?

The Netherworld.

Within reincarnation, a graceful figure slowly emerged.

Then a cold laugh rang out.

"Has a battle between Saints begun?"

"I wonder whether my Netherworld will be caught in it this time."

On Golden Ao Island.

Lu Feng, who had already entered the Quasi-Sage realm, seemed to sense something as well and looked toward Chaos beyond the Primordial World.

He could sense fluctuations of Saints' auras there, and they were extremely intense.

If I'm not mistaken, Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and the others still haven't given up, have they?

But what will they do next, now that they refuse to give up?

Target the Interception Sect disciples?

That was a very strong possibility.

Lu Feng had disbanded the Interception Sect. Was that not a tremendous disaster for the Western Teachings and the Chan Sect?

If they did not want to face the tribulation, they could later propose gathering the Interception Sect disciples together again.

Would the situation not remain the same?

It all depended on whether they had skin thick enough!

Thinking about it now, both the Two Sages of the West and Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi seemed rather thick-skinned.

It seemed the Interception Sect disciples would have to quicken the pace of their cultivation.

After all, if these Saints intervened personally, with the disciples' current strength, forget fighting back-they would likely be plotted to death on the spot!

Still, Lu Feng was not without a protective barrier at his disposal.

After peering into Zixiao Palace last time, Lu Feng had received quite a few rewards.

One of those rewards was the Comprehension Secret Realm!

This reward was specifically intended for Interception Sect disciples who had already gained insights from the worlds of the novels.

They could enter the secret realm to comprehend laws and Daoist arts, allowing them to integrate ever more deeply with the insights they had gained from those worlds.

Now that he knew Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi and the others would not let go so easily, Lu Feng naturally had to open the Comprehension Secret Realm as soon as possible.

"System, can the Comprehension Secret Realm be opened now?"

[It can be opened!]

"Then open it right away!"

[All right, host. Opening the secret realm...] [Secret realm successfully opened!]

Only after hearing the system's notification did Lu Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, they had to keep racing against time.

The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was approaching. Even though Lu Feng had already altered the fates of the Interception Sect disciples, he still could not guarantee that they would emerge from this tribulation unscathed.

After turning it over in his mind, it seemed his only option was to change this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation...
