Two more Primordial Sages have entered the Wu-Demon Great Tribulation!

And they are the Two Qing, both descendants of Pangu!

At this moment.

Though the entire Wu clan was submerged in a suffocating pressure.

Not a single Wu warrior, not even the old, weak, women, and children, or even three-year-old toddlers, showed any fear on their faces!

They only felt... hatred!

Hatred for Dao Ancestor Hongjun's injustice!

Hatred for Hongjun colluding with the Sages of heaven and earth, favoring the Demon clan, and ganging up to bully the Wu clan!

At the same time, they also hated themselves for being old and weak, too young, and unable to fight in the Wu-Demon war!

In their utter helplessness, they could only silently and devoutly pray and offer blessings for the Wu warriors on the front lines.

May Father God protect them!

"Senior Chen Xuan... the situation seems to have gotten serious! Can you... still handle it?"

With the sudden arrival of the Two Qing, Houtu couldn't help but hold her breath, starting to worry.

Although she was no longer afraid of anything under Chen Xuan's influence (brainwashing), she was genuinely afraid Chen Xuan would mess up!

"I can handle it! Even if I can't, I have to!"

"Moreover, at this point, does the Wu clan have any other way out?"

Chen Xuan responded to Houtu's concern with his usual confidence.

After all.

With things having reached this point, did they still have a retreat?

There was no retreat at all!

It was like this—

I've already pulled my pants down halfway, shouldn't I go all the way and finish him off? Would I really pull my zipper back up halfway through!?

I'm going to screw over all the Sages in the heavens!

"..."

Hearing this, Houtu fell silent.

What he said made sense!

"Taiqing, Yuanshi, are you also going to be an enemy of the Wu clan?"

Suddenly, a delicate shout echoed across the Wu-Demon battlefield, openly questioning the two Sages of the Xuanmen.

That graceful figure stood proudly in the world, fearless and undaunted, exuding the demeanor of an unparalleled empress, as if she alone had dominated countless ages, astonishingly talented and peerlessly beautiful.

"Houtu, stop now. No matter how powerful the Dutian God-Demon Array is, you haven't proven yourself a Sage yet. How can an ant's body dare to shake the heavens? Don't ruin your own path!"

"Moreover, Dao Ancestor Master has already weakened half of the Dutian God-Demon Array's killing power. Its remaining might is not to be feared. The Wu clan is already at the end of their rope!"

Facing Houtu's cold question, Taiqing Laozi's face remained as calm as an ancient well. He responded indifferently, as if earnestly advising, but in reality, he did not wish to get involved in this great karma.

In short, if he could avoid a direct confrontation, he would try his best not to.

If they could talk things out, he would never resort to force!

However...

Chen Xuan seemed to have no intention of resolving things peacefully.

"Taiqing, shut up! Don't pretend to be so righteous here, you're utterly hypocritical and disgusting!!"

"Don't think your despicable deeds can be hidden from all beings in heaven and earth. You, Taiqing... are unfit to be the leader of the Human Religion, and you have no right to point fingers here!!"

Ding~ Chen the Sharp-Tongued is online again!

His angry curses reverberated through the heavens and the myriad realms.

Hearing this.

Taiqing Laozi frowned and blurted out, "Houtu, what do you mean by that?"

Everyone in the Primordial Desolation knew this.

Ever since Taiqing established the Human Religion and proved himself a Sage, he had been revered, loved, and supported by the Human race and all beings in the world.

Previously, he had enlightened the Human race and passed down the Golden Core Method, which was an immeasurable merit.

How was it that now, from Houtu's perspective, he couldn't feel the slightest respect?

Not only that, but he was even being humiliated like this?

It was truly infuriating!

"Taiqing, do you dare to say that when you established the Human Religion and enlightened the Human race, you had no selfish motives and a clear conscience?"

Chen Xuan questioned again.

Taiqing remained silent, his brow furrowed in thought.

"Do you dare say that establishing the Human Religion, spreading the orthodox teachings, and bestowing the Golden Core Method were not for your own benefit?!"

Chen Xuan pressed further.

Taiqing was speechless, utterly silenced.

"Look me in the eyes and answer me! Speak!!"

"You established the Human Religion merely to achieve sainthood, and you 'civilized' humanity only to scheme for their destiny. If you had no selfish motives, would you, Taiqing, dare to pass down the complete Golden Core Method?"

"Speak!!! What, lost your voice!? Heh heh!"

Having lived two lives, Chen Xuan felt an inexplicable rage surge within him the moment he looked at Taiqing Laozi. His anger erupted, and he unleashed a torrent of accusations and reprimands.

Today, he was determined to expose the hypocritical facade of the Grand Pure Sage in front of everyone, to awaken humanity completely, so they would no longer be kept in the dark, lost in their ignorance.

Otherwise...

It would be too suffocating to be sold out and still help count the money!

Clang!

As these words left his mouth.

Taiqing Laozi's eyebrows shot up.

His Sage's Dao Heart suddenly trembled.

His hand, hidden within his wide sleeves, twitched.

He was inexplicably flustered!

Wait, how did this woman know...

That the Golden Core Method he passed to humanity was incomplete?

Something's wrong, very wrong!

Rumble—

And at this moment, as Chen Xuan publicly exposed Taiqing's sordid deeds, the heavens and earth trembled, and all beings were astonished.

Countless humans were utterly stunned and bewildered!

In the ancestral land of the Human Race.

Youchao Shi, Suiren Shi, and Ziyi Shi, the three ancient ancestors of humanity, all jolted. Their past faith was instantly shaken, their faces filled with shock and horror—

"What? The Golden Core Method Taiqing Laozi passed to humanity is actually incomplete?"

"Why? Why would he do that!?"

"Yeah, how is this possible? We humans were so grateful, building temples, sculpting golden statues, and offering incense to Taiqing Sage. How could he... do this?!"

It wasn't just the three Human Ancestors; countless humans, whether born with innate abilities or acquired ones, had their worldviews violently shaken, their faith on the verge of collapse.

They found it unbelievable!

It was one thing for the Demon Clan to slaughter billions of humans and madly collect their essence blood to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

But now, Ancestor Witch Houtu was telling them...

That humanity had been betrayed by their own faith?!

Hiss—

Who could endure this!

Humanity, so miserable!

"Senior Brother Taiqing... is also scheming against humanity!? How could this be?"

Among them, Nuwa's expression changed upon hearing this. Her delicate body trembled, and as she felt disbelief, a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

After all.

She was both the Empress of the Demon Clan.

And the Human Ancestor Mother!

The calamities befalling the Demon Clan and the suffering of humanity were the inevitable trend of the Primordial Desolation. Unable to intervene or mediate, she was already extremely frustrated!

But now...

If what Ancestor Witch Houtu said was true, then she absolutely would not let this insult stand!

"Houtu, cease your words! Do not sow discord and incite trouble with your sorcery here!!"

Taiqing roared, his eyes darting, his voice lacking conviction, clearly guilty.

He was panicked, utterly panicked!

One must know.

Humanity was the foundation upon which Taiqing Laozi proved his Dao and became a Sage.

Once humanity's faith collapsed, then... his fate would be dire!

"Brother, why waste words with such an ant? Why not simply suppress him? Wouldn't that be quicker?"

"Only the dead stay silent forever!"

Fortunately, at this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun's deep reprimand calmed Taiqing down considerably.

Yes, only the dead don't speak rashly!

With this thought.

Taiqing, who cultivated purity and non-action, and always prided himself on his detachment, was completely broken.

A cold killing intent flickered in his eyes!

"We, on the Dao Ancestor's command, have come specifically to suppress the Wu clan, correct the chaos, and restore clarity to heaven and earth!"

"Houtu, you refuse reincarnation, ignore the opportunity to become a Sage, and yet attempt to defy heaven. This action is self-destruction, so you cannot blame us!"

With that said.

Taiqing Laozi directly evaded Chen Xuan's many questions.

Without a second word, he flipped his hand, unleashing the innate supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, and resolutely hurled it towards the Primordial Desolation, heading straight for the ancestral land of the Wu clan!

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, surging Yin and Yang energies flowed, and the scroll descended like a heavenly curtain, enveloping the Golden Dragon of Destiny above the Wu clan, suppressing it!

At the same time, it instantly severed the flow of destiny for the Wu clan!

Almost simultaneously.

Yuanshi Tianzun also made his move!

The innate supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner, brandished its power, drawing countless heaven-splitting profound lights that tore through the void, carrying the divine might of creation as it madly swept across the Wu clan's ancestral land.

"Swish! Swish!..."

Amidst the rampaging heaven-splitting winds, the immeasurable destiny that floated above the Wu clan was instantly shattered!

The Taiji Diagram's main purpose was suppression, to bind the Golden Dragon of Destiny.

The Pangu Banner's main purpose was attack, to destroy all things and wear down everything.

In an instant, the Golden Dragon wailed, roaring towards the sky, its mournful cries echoing through the universe.

As one side waned and the other waxed.

The Wu clan's destiny was suppressed, while the Demon clan's...

Their destiny, originally like a candle in the wind, ethereal and weak, re-condensed at this moment!

The situation between the Wu and Demon clans had flipped, and flipped again!
