After Taiqing finished speaking.
He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of Mysterious Pure Qi, which coiled around his Sage's Dao Body.
The next moment, Pure Qi surged around him and shot into the heavens. His Dao practice soared, his cultivation steadily rose, and his realm advanced. He exuded the profound Sage's Dao Rhyme of deep pools and towering mountains, making all who saw him instinctively look up in awe.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Before long, three beams of mysterious divine light flew out from his Numinous Palace. Taiqing's true body cast layer upon layer of afterimages, initially illusory and indistinct before gradually becoming solid.
At last, beneath the gaze of countless onlookers, three figures dressed in Tai Chi Dao Robes stepped forth. Their appearances and bearing were identical to Taiqing's true body.
Even...
Their cultivation and Dao practice had been perfectly replicated as well!
It was practically a one-to-one divine reproduction!
"What kind of supreme divine ability is this? External Incarnations? Or Spirit Bodies? How can even their cultivation and Dao practice be exactly the same? Hiss—"
"I never expected the Grand Pure Sage to still have a trump card hidden away! He really concealed it well!"
"Doesn't that mean Ancestor Witch Houtu now has to face six Hun Yuan Sages at once?! Hiss! Terrifying!"
"Taiqing Laozi truly deserves to be the foremost of the Three Pure Ones. Such Sage methods are indeed extraordinary! Today... Fellow Daoist Houtu is in grave danger! The Witch Clan... is in danger as well!"
"Sigh, if one does not become a Sage, one shall remain an Ant forever! The ancients truly did not deceive us! This... is simply too unfair!"
"..."
As Taiqing unleashed this supreme divine ability, all living beings of Heaven and Earth felt an immense Sage's pressure suddenly descend upon them. It was like an overturned sea and crashing tidal waves, making their souls tremble as they shuddered uncontrollably.
Cultivators with weaker cultivation even found their waists weak and knees numb. With a "thud," they dropped to their knees!
It was simply too terrifying!
At this moment, Taiqing used One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. Four surging waves of Sage's might swept through all directions, suppressing the universe and looking down upon Heaven and Earth, fully displaying the supreme might of the Human Religion's Sage and throwing all living beings into extreme panic!
It truly embodied the phrase, "All below a Sage are Ants"!!!
Even the other Sages were stunned and horrified. They had known Taiqing Laozi for so long, yet this was still the first time they had seen him reveal his trump card and unleash such a great move. It was utterly unexpected!
Upon seeing this, every member of the Witch Clan instinctively broke into a cold sweat for "Houtu." Their hearts rose to their throats, filled with worry.
Yuanshi, meanwhile, was greatly invigorated. His spirits soared, and his confidence returned!
Jieyin, who had been captured alive by the Slaughter True Body, brightened at once. He was wildly delighted and hurriedly shouted, "Senior Brother Taiqing is mighty, save me—!!!"
Even Houtu herself furrowed her delicate brows tightly, inexplicably panicking.
Only Chen Xuan remained calm and unruffled, as though he had anticipated this all along and had nothing to fear.
Having lived two lives and read countless mythological chronicles of the Primordial World, how could he not know the ultimate killing move of the strongest among the Three Pure Ones?
Taiqing Laozi was the strongest existence among the Three Pure Ones.
It was precisely because Hongjun knew this that, before the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods descended, he deliberately bestowed the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation upon Tongtian. On the surface, it appeared to maintain balance, but in truth, he harbored sinister intentions and plotted around the Investiture of the Gods.
Now, although Tongtian had comprehended the Dao and broken through his realm, Taiqing, who wielded the divine ability One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, was still the strongest among the Three Pure Ones.
Unless the Immortal-Slaying Formation was set up, which could not be shaken without four Sages!
However.
Chen Xuan was still not the least bit flustered.
Before Taiqing could even respond to Jieyin's cry for help—
Chen Xuan suddenly snorted coldly. "Jieyin, you bald donkey, stop barking like a dog. Today, no one can save you! Whoever comes, it won't make a difference!"
"You must die!"
Thump—!!!
The moment those words were spoken.
Jieyin was instantly horrified, his face filled with terror and panic.
There was no other reason.
He had felt overwhelming killing intent enveloping him!
"Wait, how dare you? How dare you!"
"You must know that I am a Heavenly Dao Sage! How can Ants slaughter a Sage?! How dare Ants kill a Sage?!!"
He had thought that Taiqing's supreme divine ability would turn the situation around and at least intimidate that fiend "Houtu." Who would have thought... it would instead provoke even greater killing intent from the other side!
Jieyin panicked. He truly panicked. He roared madly, and amid his terror, he simply could not believe it!
Even though he had reached the Hun Yuan Realm and attained a Sage's Dao Fruit, his Innate Undying True Spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, his Dao Fruit reaching Transcendence to the Other Shore, Immortal and Undying, Unfailing Through Ten Thousand Calamities.
In short, although Sages would not die, Jieyin could still feel it—an aura of death had already enveloped him, pressing down until he could barely breathe!
"So what if you are a Heavenly Dao Sage? You are merely all things held in the Heavenly Dao's palm, nothing more than puppets on its strings. There is nothing remarkable about you!"
"Though you are Sages, you can still live and die!"
"Besides, you Sages of the heavens were not born as Sages!"
"What? Now you cherish your lives? You finally know fear? Where has that arrogant attitude gone, the one that regarded all living beings as weeds?"
"Today, I shall let you so-called Sages know that the lives of Ants are lives too, and that Ants can slaughter Sages and slay Heaven!"
Chen Xuan's impassioned words stirred the fighting spirit around him. In an instant, it climbed to its peak, his boundless Battle Qi sweeping through the ages and rousing all the Ants of Heaven and Earth.
At once, cries erupted—
"That's right, why? Why should Sages stand high above us, casually scheme against all living beings, treat all things in Heaven and Earth as stray dogs, and regard countless lives as mere dust and weeds? Why!!!"
"Exactly! A Sage's life is a life, so are the lives of Ants not lives too? Even oxen and horses have lives, damn it!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, overwhelming waves of sound echoed throughout the myriad heavens and worlds of the Primordial World, shaking the universe.
Some living beings gritted their teeth, filled with rage and resentment!
Some cultivators were overcome with grief and indignation, their hearts full of unwillingness!
Others had hatred soaring into the sky, their killing intent reaching the heavens!
Perhaps they had been oppressed by the Heavenly Dao for too long.
Or perhaps the Sages of the heavens had ridden roughshod over them for too long.
At this moment, Chen Xuan publicly tried Jieyin and denounced the Sages, instantly inciting all living beings of Heaven and Earth to rise in resistance!
Where there was oppression, there would be resistance!
The fiercer the oppression, the fiercer the resistance!
"Jieyin, you saw it too. All living beings of Heaven and Earth want you dead... This is the will of the people. Do you have anything else to add?"
Seeing this, Chen Xuan felt quite gratified. Then he looked at Jieyin and spoke in a teasing, mocking tone.
"..."
Jieyin said nothing. He was stunned and dumbfounded, trembling all over with rage. With his eyes wide in fury, he cursed, "Ants! You lowly Ants! How dare you show disrespect to a Sage! How dare you profane a Sage?!!! Damn it! You all deserve to die!!"
Jieyin seemed to have gone mad.
Chen Xuan paid him no heed, the smile at his lips growing even broader.
"You're done talking, right? Since you're done, you can die!!!"
With that, he directly ignored Taiqing's overwhelming Sage's pressure.
With a thought, he decisively activated the supreme killing power of the Slaughter True Body.
In an instant, the Ancestor Witch's essence blood boiled without end.
The Witch Clan's fortune churned violently.
Boundless blood fiend qi filled the skies as immeasurable divine and demonic pressure erupted with a thunderous roar!
The next moment, the Slaughter True Body suddenly exerted force. Its hand clenched into a fist, embodying the destructive essence of the Law of Power, and it forcibly crushed Jieyin's Sage's Dao Body!
Immediately after.
With an earth-shaking boom, Sage's Blood sprayed across the firmament. A torrential blood rain fell from the sky, vast and unending, pattering down in sheets.
A Sage had fallen, and Heaven and Earth Mourned Together!
"..."
"..."
"..."
At the sight of this horrifying scene.
Heaven and Earth fell utterly silent, and all living beings were struck speechless.
A deathly silence descended at once!
Hiss—
No one had expected "Houtu" to truly dare slaughter a Sage!?
No, they had merely said it out loud. Who could have imagined that this reckless woman would actually dare to kill him!
No matter what, that had been a Heavenly Dao Sage. Once he fell, the karmic consequences involved would be immense!
Who could bear that?
As for this.
Chen Xuan remained calm and composed.
What karmic consequences? Since the atmosphere had already reached this point, would it not be a little unreasonable not to kill him?
It was enough that it felt good!
Refreshing!
"Who else!!!"
