Even the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin Zhunti, Nüwa, and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun were terrified!
A Sage- level Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon was killed so easily and simply!
The impression that Sage are immortal and indestructible has always been in the hearts of all sages, which makes them despise anyone below the level of Sage in the Primordial.
Even those who had not yet attained sainthood, such as Xiao Tian, Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, had already categorized themselves into different levels.
If you don't become a saint, you'll remain an ant!
However, their worldview has now been shattered!
Even Sage can die! Immortality is just another concept!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was deeply troubled. He could see that Xiao Tian Attaining the Dao through Strength, his current combat power was approaching his own. Moreover, once he succeeded, he would not be bound by the constraints of the Deva Path Dao.
Hongjun felt envious, but also a little bitter. If he could do it all over again, he would never have Merging One's Body with the Dao.
"Teacher, are Sage truly immortal?" Zhunti asked weakly.
Zhunti was terrified at this moment. He desperately hoped that Xiao Tian would be killed by the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon. If Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa hadn't been there, he would have even joined forces with his senior brother to directly attack and kill Xiao Tian.
Once Xiao Tian becomes a saint and returns to the Primordial, it will be virtually impossible to get revenge on Xiao Tian in the future.
After all, he couldn't beat Xiao Tian before becoming a saint, Xiao Tian's combat power after becoming a saint is even more unimaginable.
Zhunti believed that if Xiao Tian successfully survived this tribulation, he would surely become the number one Sage after his teacher Hongjun.
Hongjun regained his senses and noticed that the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, Nüwa were not in a stable state of mind. He explained expressionlessly, "Do you still remember the concept I mentioned before? The immortality of Sage is based on their true spirit residing in the mysterious River of Fate. Even I find it difficult to enter that place and find the true spirit. As long as the true spirit does not perish, no matter how great the injury you suffer, you will not die. Therefore, this is immortality."
"The Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon killed by Xiao Tian, although its combat power reached the level of Sage, did not have a true Psionic Energy reside in the mysterious River of Fate."
Hongjun's explanation relieved the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nüwa.
The energy fluctuations within the Chaos were intense, as if countless galaxies were being detonated. Xiao Tian's fighting spirit accumulated, and after killing a Sage- level Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, he went straight for the Huanglong, sweeping across the battlefield with overwhelming force. He then used three blows combined with the Chaos Bell's ability to imprison time and space to annihilate the last remaining Sage- level Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon.
The saints trembled; Xiao Tian had slaughtered two saints in succession! His record was a sin against the Primordial!
Such a record is unmatched even by Dao Ancestor Hongjun!
After all, no Sage has ever fallen in the Primordial! It can be said that Xiao Tian is the first saint to be killed in the Primordial!
The number of Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon is endless, but without the two Sage- level Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, the other trash, even if there are more Quasi-Sage, cannot harm Xiao Tian in his current state.
In the mysterious Great Void, the Deva Path is in deep thought.
Will Xiao Tian's successful Attaining the Dao through Strength threaten his plans and status in the Primordial?
At this moment, Dugu Baitian, whom it had been keeping an eye on, made a move.
"Heh heh heh! Sage Attaining the Dao through Strength! Deva Path, do you intend to kill him? Then I will not allow you to have your way!"
Dugu Baitian's words were overheard by the Deva Path.
Deva Path his previous confrontation with Dugu Baitian's Heavenly Dao will, the Deva Path Dao momentarily extinguished his intention to eliminate Xiao Tian.
" Xiao Tian is currently very respectful to me. If I give him enough incentives, he might become a trump card to destroy Dugu Baitian in the future. After all, he is Sage who is not under my control, his potential is unrestricted, and he cannot threaten me at present. I can banish him from the Primordial and exile him into Chaos at any time."
In the Chaos, Xiao Tian annihilated all the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon!
Deep within the Chaos, a boundless light of merit appeared and entered Xiao Tian's body!
The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nüwa were all alarmed.
"Teacher, where does this merit come from?"
" The Deva Path." Hongjun knew that the merit did not come from the Deva Path, but he could not discourage the saints' faith at this moment.
The Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin Nüwa were half-believing and half-doubting. That merit revealed something extraordinary, with Daoist charm, runes, and purple energy, and vaguely manifested a vast and boundless realm.
"You've successfully transcended the tribulation!"
Xiao Tian took a deep breath. Now, he had truly succeeded in Attaining the Dao through Strength!
Within his body, a potential world no less vast than the Primordial wilderness was opened up!
Xiao Tian accomplished a feat that Pangu could not fully achieve! He himself became Chaos, and he himself transformed into countless forms!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Heavenly Dao Inheritor for achieving the Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal! You have opened up Chaos world within your body! You have gained 1 Chaos Achievement Points!"
"Ding! Eternal-level choice reward triggered! Reward 1: Chaos Supreme Treasure -Spacetime Hourglass! Law of the Great Dao of Strength Crystals *20!"
Reward 2: Primordial Purple Qi *30! Sage-Intoxicating Wine *1!
Xiao Tian was speechless. This Primordial Purple Qi was really being sold in bulk!
He decisively chose the reward!
Chaos Supreme Treasure Time Hourglass: When placed in one place, it can create a Sumeru Realm. Time within the realm and time outside the realm can be adjusted at the owner's will, with a maximum ratio of 1 year to 1,000,000 years! Possessing this treasure grants the owner the ability of ' Time Distortion '.
Time Distortion: Allows for fast-forwarding or rewinding of time, limited to an area of tens of thousands of miles around the owner of the magical artifact. The time warp is automatically calibrated based on the target's energy, with a maximum duration of three seconds.
Xiao Tian was overjoyed! This Chaos Supreme Treasure was absolutely incredible!
Composing himself, Xiao Tian returned to the Primordial, to the abode of the sages.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on becoming Sage!" The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Nüwa, Jieyin Zhunti their congratulations.
" Xiao Tian, congratulations. However, after you become a saint, you will no longer be able to control the Investiture of the Gods." Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, feeling a little excited, because his plan could finally be implemented. Moreover, he intended to befriend Xiao Tian, and Xiao Tian was crucial to whether he could break free from the Deva Path.
Zhunti was thrilled. Now that Xiao Tian was no longer in charge of the Investiture of the Gods, the awkwardness and discomfort he felt inside was gone. He was no longer working for Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian readily handed over the Investiture of the Gods. After Attaining the Dao through Strength, although his realm seemed to be the same as that of the Three Pure Ones, his combat strength was on par with Hongjun.
Moreover, after becoming a saint, Xiao Tian's thinking became more active, and he had a new idea to overthrow this part of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
"Let the Primordial Heavenly Dao grow stronger, so that my potential limit can also rise and follow the normal trajectory. Then I'll find a way to eliminate it, take its place, and control the Primordial."
Following the normal trajectory of development, the Primordial world as a whole would have evolved to a more complete state. However, the high-end combat forces would have been either sealed away or killed by the Deva Path Dao, satisfying its powerful desire for control.
Hongjun took away the Investiture of the Gods and said to Xiao Tian and the Human Path, " The Investiture of the Gods will find its destined members. The Great Tribulation has arrived, so it is best for all saints to preserve their own positions."
"Good!"
The Three Pure Ones invited Xiao Tian to discuss the Dao, while Zhunti and Jieyin couldn't wait to leave to plan the campaign against the Great Shang and accelerate the development of the Great Tribulation.
Xiao Tian and the Three Pure Ones discussed the Dao in the Chaos, each gaining something. The time ratios of the Chaos and the Primordial were different, and Xiao Tian also spent some time in the Empress Wa Palace.
" Xiao Tian, you need to keep a close eye on Xiao Li. My Lingzhuzi keeps going to see Xiao Li, and lately it's even picked up the bad habit of stealing Breathing Soil from the Underworld."
Xiao Tian looked at the many Breathing Soil stored in the figurine room, his lips twitching as he said, "How is that a bad habit? Besides, it wasn't stealing; I was getting it for you."
"No, it was stealing." Nüwa said with a look of disapproval.
Xiao Tian's expression was strange; he knew that Nüwa Pingxin, also known as Houtu, were at odds.
"Alright, I'll teach that brat Xiao Li a lesson. I've stayed here too long; I need to head to the Primordial."
"During the Great Tribulation, even though you are Sage, what were you doing there?" Nüwa scrutinized Xiao Tian, clearly wanting a clear answer before she would release him.
"Hehe, there's no other way. After all, I controlled the Investiture of the Gods before, but now I don't know who the owner of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods is, so I have to undo the methods I set up."
"I see. Go quickly and come back soon."
Xiao Tian was speechless for a moment, then nodded and left the Empress Wa Palace.
In Western Continent of Cattle Gift, Jieyin and Zhunti, relying on some unseen senses, discovered the one who possessed the Primordial Purple Qi.
"Elder brother, now that the Eight Sages have returned to their positions, one is still missing. This person is likely the last Sage!"
Suddenly, Zhunti and Jieyin were startled, for they saw the void above suddenly tear open, and a precious light appeared from the dark rift.
" Investiture of the Gods!"
The appearance of the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods instantly attracted the attention of all the sages.
" The Investiture of the Gods has actually fallen into this person's hands!" Jieyin Zhunti were even more astonished.
The middle-aged man in red stared blankly at the Investiture of the Gods that appeared in his hand for a moment, then his eyes cleared and a vast wave of memories swept over him.
boom!
The Sage's overwhelming power swept across the Primordial!
Zhunti and Jieyin gasped Jieyin shock, only then realizing that this person was actually the reincarnation of Hongyun, who had long since died!
Hongyun died because of the War of the Witches and Demons Primordial Purple Qi for a period of time. Moreover, the Huo Yun Cave where the Three Sovereigns the Human Clan lived was originally Hongyun's cave. Therefore, after the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Deva Path gave Hongyun a chance to be reborn!
The Ninth Sage! Hongyun!
"Fellow Daoists, it's been a long time!" Hongyun's head was adorned with the Three Lights Divine Wheel, and his body was filled with precious light and auspicious clouds.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Hongyun." Zhunti had a small idea.
Xiao Tian, who appeared in Zhaoge, calculated the celestial secrets and frowned.
"I see, tsk tsk tsk. In that case, as the former Heavenly Emperor, Brother Hongyun, I still have to help you speed up the process of overcoming the Great Tribulation."
Hongyun returned to his position as a saint and took charge of the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods. All the saints congratulated him, but the demon master Kunpeng was terrified and immediately begged Nüwa for help.
Nüwa, considering that Kunpeng was a powerful figure among the Demon Clan, contacted Hongyun for a chat and also brought Xiao Tian along to keep things under control.
"The past is like smoke, Hongyun of today is not the Hongyun of the past. I'm sorry to have troubled you all." Hongyun's smile gave Xiao Tian the feeling that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a deep and cunning mind. Hongyun had changed.
Honest Hongyun gets a glamorous upgrade; the cunning and scheming Hongyun is now in place!
Meanwhile, in Northern Continent of Kuru!
Under the watchful eyes of the sages, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe, Kunpeng, and other great gods of the Primordial, the Deva Path Body Dugu Baitian transformed Northern Continent of Kuru.
The original environment of Northern Continent of Kuru was harsh, with countless perilous situations. Even Great Luo Golden Immortal could easily get trapped and die inside if he wasn't careful.
But a month later, Dugu Baitian chased stars and seized the moon, moved mountains and rivers, and absorbed ancient stars to create a Star Domain.
This Star Domain occupies half the area of Northern Continent of Kuru. The star power in this region is extremely rich, and a new cultivation system and a new cultivation group will definitely emerge in the future.
Dugu Baitian opened up a cave in the Star Domain, used the Geng metal of the Nine Heavens Stars to refine gold, and wrote the three words " Heaven-Equaling Palace " on his brush, which made the Deva Path grit its teeth.
