Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I created three thousand demon realms.

Chapter 92 The Primordial Chess Game, the Sage Enters the Game
"Everyone, you must know that we are Heavenly Saints," Yuanshi said in a deep voice.

The underlying meaning is that the primordial world is the territory of us Heavenly Saints, not the territory of you who follow the Great Dao.

"Further words are useless; let's just go through the chaos and see what happens," Yuan Meng said slowly.

"Good!!" Lao Tzu spoke first. No one was willing to give up this benefit. To put it bluntly, everyone wanted to take a bite out of the fat meat of the underworld.

"Pingxin, make arrangements for the underworld," Yuanmeng said to Pingxin.

“Good!” Pingxin nodded.

In the original work, the reason why Pingxin allowed Ksitigarbha to reside in the underworld was that there was no other way. Not only the Buddhist sect, but also the Three Pure Ones had placed their own people in the underworld.

Even the five saints, including Pingxin, the master of the Earthly Dao, could not overcome this.

Things are different now. The appearance of Yuan Meng, this anomaly, along with the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, the First Qilin, and Nuwa, is enough to help Pingxin suppress these saints.

As for why Zulong and Shiqilin would help Pingxin, or rather, Yuanmeng.

Because they are different from the sages, they are completely incompatible. When they help Yuan Meng, they are also helping themselves.

To put it bluntly, there's still a long time ahead.

If anything happens to the Dragon Clan or the Qilin Clan, Yuan Meng and He Pingxin will not stand by and watch.

This is why helping Yuanmeng is also helping oneself.

These sages, high above and calculating all things in heaven and earth, are, frankly speaking, not members of the same camp.

As for Yuanhuang and Nuwa, their relationship with Yuanmeng needs no further explanation.

In the chaos, six saints and four Grand Luo Golden Immortals faced off against each other.

Pingxin then arranged for the elite of the Wu tribe to be stationed in the Underworld, as Yuanmeng had suggested, and to assume various positions within the Underworld.

Styx also benefited. He naturally also benefited from the underworld he opened up in the Blood Sea, and directly led the Asura clan to settle in the Asura Path, one of the three good paths.

In chaos.

Yuan Meng looked at Laozi.

Of the Three Pure Ones, Lao Tzu is the strongest among the two Western Saints.

"I have always wanted to learn from you, fellow Daoist, and now I can say that my wish has been fulfilled," Laozi said slowly to Yuan Meng.

He lightly tapped the dragon-headed walking stick in his hand.

Endless laws extended out, directly attacking Yuan Meng.

Yuan Meng's eyes dimmed, and with one step forward, endless chaos vanished.

The next moment, Yuan Meng appeared in front of Laozi, endless laws intertwined in Yuan Meng's hands, and a black fist imprint appeared in the sky.

It was as if countless black suns exploded at the same time.

A magnificent pagoda, symbolizing the interplay of heaven and earth, appeared above Lao Tzu's head, its aura of merit descending to protect his body.

Nuwa approached Zhunti, while Yuanhuang directly confronted Yuanshi.

The First Dragon faced off against Tongtian, and the First Qilin faced off against Jieyin!
Endless chaos is crumbling.

Yuan Meng's eyes were filled with the intertwining of immeasurable laws, his long silver hair danced in the air, and a black halberd of destruction appeared in his hand, which he then swung.

It was as if an ancient celestial dragon had directly suppressed Laozi.

A glint of light flashed in Laozi's eyes, and the Taiji diagram flew out, transforming into a giant yin-yang millstone that directly blocked his way.

The next moment, the endless aura collapsed.

The will of annihilation descends.

"Eternity and myriad realms!!!" Yuan Meng unleashed a forbidden divine power.

Countless worlds intertwined, trapping Lao Tzu within them.

"What incredible power! The Yin-Yang Millstone!" Limitless divine light erupted from Laozi's eyes, and the Yin and Yang energies transformed into a world-destroying millstone, forcefully carving its way out from the infinite world. The next moment, Yuan Meng, wielding a halberd, unleashed an aura of supreme destruction.

In an instant, Laozi's body was thrown out by Yuan Meng, piercing through the entire chaos.

"What is destroyed will be destroyed, what is withered will wither, the great destruction of all the heavens throughout the ages!!!" The mighty demonic voice echoed in the chaos.

Boundless demonic power erupted.

Countless worlds withered and perished, and Lao Tzu's uncultivated holy body began to show signs of decay and decline.

A glint of light appeared in Lao Tzu's eyes, and countless sacred laws emerged, intertwining and vanishing, revealing the power of time.

Lao Tzu has returned to his peak condition.

Yuan Meng's eyes shone with unparalleled divine light, his ten fingers interlaced, piercing through the past, present, and future.

"Disrupting Heaven and Earth!!" Ten dazzling beams of light pierced through the past, present, and future, shattering everything, and Lao Tzu's body completely collapsed.

Although Laozi's body reformed itself in front of Yuan Meng in the next moment.

However, his expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Is there really such a big difference between the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao?" Laozi murmured, a hint of disbelief in his eyes. From the start of the battle, he had been constantly suppressed by Yuan Meng.

"Is there a big difference between the Heavenly Way and the Great Way?" Yuan Meng heard Lao Tzu's words and then looked at Lao Tzu.

"If I had to say, the biggest difference lies in people, not in the way."

"Among humans?" Laozi's eyes held a hint of doubt. They were at the same level, but whether it was himself or Yuanhuang, Shiqilin, or Zulong's Tongyuan Yishi Jieyin, they were all at a disadvantage.

Even Tongtian, who wielded the Four Swords of Zhuxian, was no match for Zulong.

“Which of us hasn’t come this far step by step through countless eras? Do you know that there was a special realm in ancient times?” Yuan Meng said calmly.

"A special realm? Could you be referring to the realm that the Ten Kings of Ferocious Beasts and others are currently at?" Laozi looked at Yuan Meng with a glint in his eyes.

Yuan Meng nodded.

“That realm is called Quasi-Saint, the last realm below Saint, and a realm unique to those who follow the Great Dao. Whether it’s me, Yuanhuang, Zulong, or Shiqilin, we have all accumulated countless eras in this realm, relying on countless hours to finally enter the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm,” Yuan Meng said slowly.

"And what about you? Although you are saints, why is there such a big gap in combat power? I think you should understand the reason now," Yuan Meng said slowly.

A glint of light appeared in Laozi's eyes: "So that's how it is. This old Taoist concedes defeat."

Lao Tzu said slowly.

Whether it's Yuan Meng, Yuan Huang, Zu Long, or Shi Qilin, they all reached the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm through countless years of accumulation and refinement.

The Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and Nuwa all jumped directly from Quasi-Sages to Sages.

Although he has become a saint, it is only natural that his combat power is low.

It lacks the accumulation and sedimentation of countless years.

In terms of qualifications and background, none of the people present were inferior. The only one who was slightly lacking was Zhunti and Jieyin.

Sages are like those who take shortcuts, while those who attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos must take every step steadily and practically; there are no shortcuts to be found.

"It seems that you, teacher, were at the Quasi-Saint level for quite some time back then," Laozi said slowly, thinking of Hongjun.

Yuan Meng nodded.

Hongjun also reached the level of a near-sage.

He lingered there for quite some time before finally becoming a saint.

Compared to these Heavenly Saints who jumped from the peak of Quasi-Saint to the Saint realm, Lao Tzu had some regrets after realizing this. He could only say that he had accumulated too little experience compared to these monsters who were born at the beginning of time.

Still a little worse.
