Ding~ Chen Duìduì is online again, and again, and again!

Suffering such abuse, the Sage's Majesty was desecrated.

But...

Perhaps Taiqing and Yuanshi were already numb; they remained expressionless, their hearts undisturbed.

However, Houtu's manipulative tactic of twisting black into white made them feel ashamed.

Merit Golden Body?

No, you call this thing...

The Merit Golden Body!!

Did they really think they, the Hun Yuan Sages, were fools!

"Ant, stop your sophistry here. This bloody Dharma form is an ominous object, shrouded in black qi, with overwhelming Slaughter Qi and pervasive Calamity Qi. If it's not the Slaughter True Body, then what is it?!"

Yuanshi originally didn't want to say anything more, but he couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed at the Slaughter True Body and confronted "Houtu."

His voice was stern, his eyes devoid of apprehension, arrogant and rude.

"What black qi? I only see the swirling primordial purple qi. You understand that this is purple so dark it looks black? What's ominous? This is a good omen!"

"Did you see the characters? Are you illiterate or what? Merit! Golden! Body! Did you not see these words?"

Chen Xuan retorted, insisting it was the Merit Golden Body.

Later, Zhao Gao pointed at a deer and called it a horse.

Today, Chen Xuan points at the Slaughter True Body and calls it the Merit Golden Body!

"-_-||..."

"..."

Hearing this, Taiqing and Yuanshi present were utterly speechless.

Even Tongtian fell silent.

Wait, you call these characters "big characters"?

If Chen Xuan hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have found them!

They were so small!

And the ink hadn't even dried completely, clearly indicating Chen Xuan had carved them himself.

Also, whose Merit Golden Body was smoking black!

Seriously, if you're going to fake it, can you at least be more serious? Are you trying to fool a ghost?!

"What will it take for you to believe me?"

"Today, I must distinguish the true from the false and the real from the illusory with you!"

Chen Xuan continued.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi wanted to speak but stopped. He was about to engage in a three-thousand-round debate with Chen Xuan.

Unexpectedly, he was pulled back by Taiqing beside him.

Taiqing Laozi, who was always meticulous and deeply cunning, with his sharp insight, how could he not see through the trick?

After a moment of thought, he pursed his lips and smiled, exposing Chen Xuan's scheme in public, saying, "This scoundrel is merely trying to stall for time for the Ancestor Witches. Do not fall for his ploy!"

"While they are weak, take their lives. Tongtian, quickly deploy the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, swiftly suppress and kill the Ancestor Witches, and end the Wu and Demon war early, so we can report back to our Dao Ancestor Master!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Yuanshi suddenly awoke, belatedly realizing the situation. A cold glint appeared in his eyes, revealing killing intent!

Taiqing gave the order, but Tongtian hesitated to act.

Firstly, he truly couldn't bear to.

Secondly, he had expended considerable energy previously resisting the Dutian God-Demon Array. Especially after the Dutian God-Demon Array self-destructed, the foundation of the Immortal Slaying Formation was unstable, and it would take time to restore its full power.

"Eldest Brother, I expended too much energy before. I need to recuperate before I can re-deploy the Immortal Slaying Formation."

After a moment of hesitation, Tongtian truthfully replied.

He had thought his two elder brothers would understand him, even care for him and sympathize with him.

Who would have thought.

After hearing this, Taiqing Laozi instinctively blurted out, "Why is it so troublesome... How long will recuperation take? Can it be done before the Ancestor Witches recover?"

The first complaint, though whispered like a mosquito, was clearly heard by Tongtian, whose senses as a Sage were incredibly acute.

A sudden chill ran down his spine...

Immediately after.

Before Tongtian could even respond.

Yuanshi beside him eagerly interjected, "Recuperate for what? The situation is special now. Once the Slaughter True Body is fully condensed and manifested, and if the Ancestor Witches recover their strength and re-deploy the Dutian God-Demon Array, then... it will be another life-or-death battle! I don't want to risk my life fighting that woman again."

"Tongtian, you don't actually need to meditate. Just burn your Sage's origin and quickly end this battle!"

Crack—

As soon as these words were spoken.

Tongtian almost split open.

His heart grew half a shade colder!

He was stunned!

He wondered how Yuanshi Tianzun's mouth, which was always at thirty-seven degrees, could utter such chilling words?

"Burn my Sage's origin? Second Brother, are you even speaking human language?"

Tongtian looked at Yuanshi, rolled his eyes, and retorted coldly.

"Tongtian! How dare you speak to your elder brother like this? How dare you! The eldest brother is like a father, do you understand what 'the eldest brother is like a father' means?!"

Yuanshi exploded, immediately putting on the airs of an elder brother, glaring at Tongtian and shouting sternly.

"Hmph, hmph, Third Brother also..." "Forget it, forget it, Second Brother, calm down. He didn't mean it."

"We face a great enemy now, and the Sanqing must not fall into infighting, lest wicked people take advantage of our weakness. Tongtian, this is the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir refined by your elder brother. Take it quickly to recover. Remember, be fast!"

Fortunately, Taiqing Laozi, who was on the side, stepped in to smooth things over and gave Tongtian a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which finally quelled the argument between the two Qing brothers.

Tongtian couldn't retaliate and could only helplessly sit down cross-legged, beginning to concentrate and meditate.

The Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearls hung high in the sky, emitting immeasurable multicolored light, encircling him and guarding his path.

"Forget it, this is my Merit Golden Body. Believe it or not, I can't be bothered to explain, and you're not worthy of hearing it."

Seeing that his scheme had been seen through by Taiqing, Chen Xuan gave up and was too lazy to explain.

There was no other way. Since talking didn't work, he had to act now.

Let's go!

Rumble—

With this thought, Chen Xuan struck first, seizing the initiative, and decisively activated the immeasurable Calamity Slaughter Qi of heaven and earth, turning it into surging waves that poured into the Slaughter True Body.

Instantly.

The Slaughter True Body's blood-red light soared into the sky, and it suddenly grew larger against the wind, rising several more feet at a visible speed!

The Slaughter Qi was terrifyingly immense!

Its ferocious might spread for hundreds of millions of miles!

With every move, it shattered the void, stirred up endless chaotic currents, churned the four elements of wind, water, fire, and earth, and shook the universe!

Furthermore, an ancient great bell hung above his head, its melodious chime "dong dong" resonating through the cosmos.

Outside the bell, the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind revolved around it.

Inside the bell, mountains, rivers, and the myriad races of the Primordial Desolation appeared.

Multicolored light illuminated all heavens, and the chaotic Sage's might deterred the universe!

The bell's chime echoed grandly, the universe shone brightly, even heaven and earth lost their color, and the cosmos trembled!

The might of a Primordial Supreme Treasure was fully revealed!

Needless to say, during the interval when the Sanqing were arguing, Chen Xuan, the master of time management, took the opportunity to refine a portion of the Chaos Bell's spiritual treasure restrictions.

And that wasn't all!

After the Chaos Bell was summoned.

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Pangu Banner, Taiji Diagram, Golden Lotus of Merit, Jieyin's Treasure Banner... and other supreme treasures appeared one after another, transforming into streaks of brilliant divine rainbows that fiercely charged into the sky.

They surrounded Chen Xuan, making him appear like an ancient deity, immeasurably majestic!

"Hmph, you mere imitator. It seems your trump cards are exhausted. If this Slaughter True Body and these numerous spiritual treasures are your last resort, then your Wu clan's fate is sealed. Even you, Houtu... are destined to perish!"

"Today, I, Yuanshi, will reclaim everything that once belonged to me! Houtu, you shall return to your rightful owner!! Slaughter True Body, break for me—!!!"

Upon seeing so many familiar supreme treasures before their eyes, Taiqing and Yuanshi's scales were instantly touched, and they exploded.

Only the sound of angry shouts echoed incessantly.

Vast Sage magic power surged out like a tidal wave, covering the sky and earth!

A world-shattering battle was about to erupt!

The Wu clan, in danger?

Houtu, in danger?

Boom!

Boom boom!!
