This is so dishonest!

Chapter 468 Xuan Qing beats up his third brother and suppresses Nuwa!
Outside the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, the moment Nuwa noticed that Lingbao Tianzun had manifested three incarnations, a glint of light flashed in her phoenix eyes.

"With such supernatural power, victory is not impossible!"

So Nuwa looked at Fuxi, the [Emperor Fu], and said softly:
"Brother, please forgive me!"

Nuwa pushed the Red Sleeve Heavenly Blade in her hand forward, and suddenly it burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling divine light!
Fuxi seemed to have seen through Nuwa's intentions and did not choose to confront her head-on.

Instead, he brought out the Bagua compass in his hand and constructed a defensive formation.

boom! ! !
Amidst the flashing blades, the great formation shattered with a deafening roar.

[Hiss, my sister is really angry, she's going all out!] Fuxi gasped.

He looked up and saw that Nuwa, just as he had expected, did not deliver another blow. Instead, she turned around, transformed into a streak of red light, and rushed into the Zhuxian Sword Formation to aid Lingbao Tianzun.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come at the perfect time!"

"Catch the sword!"

The moment Lingbao Tianzun saw Nuwa return to help, he pointed his finger!
The Immortal-Slaying Sword, filled with endless death intent, immediately transformed into a stream of light and flew into Nuwa's hand!
"To catch the thief, first catch the king! Today, the two of us will join forces to suppress Yuanshi!"

"As long as we can suppress him, this battle will be considered a success for us!"

Lingbao Tianzun shouted loudly at Nuwa.

He entrusted the remaining Immortal-Slaying Sword, Immortal-Trapping Sword, and Immortal-Severing Sword to his three avatars, ordering them to hold off the equally covetous Taishang and Zhunti.

"it is good!"

Nuwa's words were concise and to the point.

Nuwa didn't waste any words. With one hand holding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, her intent to destroy was unparalleled and inexhaustible; with the other hand holding the Red Sleeve Blade, her creative energy covered the sky and the sun.

Zhunti looked at Taishang and asked, "Aren't we going to help?"

The Supreme Lord stroked his beard and smiled, then countered, "Aren't we currently helping to hold off the three incarnations of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao?"

"Once we defeat them and take the other three swords, this formation will collapse on its own!"

"Besides,..."

He changed the subject, saying, "Don't you want to see for yourself who is truly superior?"

"miss you!"

Without hesitation, the Taoist Master Zhunti answered.

So the two supreme beings comfortably continued paddling and watching the show.

Despite being unhesitatingly "sold out" by his two good teammates, Xuan Qing, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, showed no anger whatsoever.

He simply turned his gaze to Lingbao Tianzun and the Demon Queen Nuwa, who were approaching him.

He shook his head and said, "Third brother, Demon Emperor, since you two are still so stubborn, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Yuanshi! Stop spouting nonsense! Take this!"

At this point, Lingbao Tianzun was completely immersed in his role, unleashing his most ruthless and frenzied attack on his elder brother.

He wielded the Qingping Sword, and every move he made contained supreme power capable of reshaping the world!
"cut!!"

Nuwa's Red Sleeve Heavenly Blade also suddenly turned, unleashing boundless killing intent and rolling red clouds that pressed down fiercely on Xuan Qing.

Xuanqing, however, remained unmoved.

The auspicious cloud above his head cast countless rays of protective golden light, blocking all the attacks.

"go with!"

Xuanqing waved the Pangu Banner, and two jet-black, seemingly all-consuming yet also all-creating chaotic axe lights burst forth, their power terrifying beyond compare!
Lingbao Tianzun held his sword horizontally in front, summoning the Immortal Slaughtering Formation for defense, blocking the axe light.

Nuwa moved lightly with her lotus-like steps, her slender white fingers pointing in the void. The Map of Mountains and Rivers unfolded in the wind, and the River of Creation surrounded her, blocking the axe blades swung by Pangu's banner.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, I have a divine power that I would like to offer my assessment!" Nuwa politely reminded her.

Then, her aura suddenly surged.

The Immortal Slayer Sword in his hand exuded a strong killing intent.

"cut!!"

Suddenly, light burst forth from the heavens and the earth.

All the destructive power of the entire world was gathered into this one sword!
Infinite spacetime, all the major tributaries, intertwine and overlap under this sword!
In the midst of chaos, thousands upon thousands of Nuwa figures from different times and eras appeared simultaneously!

They raised their hands and drew their swords at the same time!
At this moment, countless terrifying sword lights merged into one, heading towards their sole enemy—Xuan Qing!

This sword strike transcends heaven and earth!

This sword strike transcends time and space!

Chaos shattered, and endless earth, wind, water, and fire were all shaken to pieces!
boom! ! !
At the same time, Lingbao Tianzun also unleashed the Sword of End!
"Primordial Beginning! Today is your end!"

"With a single sword strike, all paths vanish into nothingness!"

"cut!"

A pure, azure sword beam slashed towards Xuan Qing.

Where the sword's light passed, time lost its meaning, and space turned into nothingness.

Whether it's earth, water, fire, wind, or yin, yang, life, death... all the concepts of the Great Dao came to an end under this sword.

Nuwa and Lingbao's sword intent reached its peak at this moment.

All the billions of golden protective rays surrounding Xuan Qing melted and disintegrated as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun!
Together they broke through all the shackles of the laws of the Primordial Dao, and at the same time pierced through the infinite heavens and worlds, shattering the ultimate defense of the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, which were impervious to all laws.

It pierced straight towards Xuan Qing's brow!

Xuanqing was moved by this.

"Not bad!"

There was no anger on his face; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

He once again summoned the Pangu Banner.

"Pangu separated heaven and earth, and all things came into being!"

boom--! ! !
A "opening" will, even more ancient, more domineering, and more unreasonable than the Zhuxian Sword Qi, suddenly erupted from the Pangu Banner!
The axe light did not erase anything; it merely redefined "existence"!
The power of Nuwa and Lingbao Tianzun to end the era was meant to reduce all things and laws to nothingness.

But Xuanqing wants to regenerate all things and all paths from "nothingness"!

"End" and "Opening"—two completely opposite profound truths of the Great Dao—collided most fiercely at this moment!

Click! Click! Click!

The entire Zhuxian Sword Formation groaned under the weight of the collision between these two supreme Daos.

Visible, pitch-black spatial rifts spread across every corner of the battlefield like a spider web.

boom! ! !
The terrifying aftershocks of the battle shook the very foundations of the otherworldly universe.

Rahu, the Demon Ancestor of the Outer Heavens, continuously empowered the universe he created.

"You guys are ruthless! Can't you take it easy?"

"It's not your universe, so you don't care at all!"

"What's there to feel sorry for? When you beat me up back then, why didn't you go easy on me?" Yangmei Daxian grumbled from the side.

Luo Hou said, "How can that be the same? That's justice triumphing over evil, and we must strike hard!"

Yangmei the Immortal rolled his eyes: "You are the master of the world, everything you say is right, alright?"

If he weren't already outmatched by Luo Hou, he would have already started tearing them apart!

~~~~
The aftershocks of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation dissipated.

The entire formation was on the verge of collapse.

Lingbao Tianzun's right hand, which was holding the Qingping Sword, trembled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, do you still have any strength left?" Lingbao Tianzun asked Nuwa.

In the previous battle, all of Nuwa's time-space incarnations were destroyed by the Pangu Banner.

"Have!"

Nuwa's answer was resolute.

"It's good if you have the capacity!" Lingbao Tianzun nodded.

He looked ahead.

Xuanqing stood silently in the void.

The auspicious clouds above his head had disappeared.

The swords of destruction and end, unleashed by Lingbao and Nuwa, shattered the auspicious clouds of the heavens and reached three inches in front of Xuanqing's brow.

They were just a hair's breadth away from defeating Xuanqing.

“It’s wonderful!”

Xuanqing still wore a bright smile on his face.

"Now, it's my turn!"

Under the watchful gazes of Nuwa and Lingbao Tianzun, he simply raised his left hand slowly, his slender index finger and thumb gently pinching together.

A crystal-clear pearl, seemingly containing the primordial mysteries of the universe and the truth of the origin of all things, appeared between his fingers.

"go."

He uttered a single word softly.

The Primordial Pearl then flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, three streams of primordial energy evolved from Nalizhu.

These three energies are formless and intangible, yet they seem to form the most fundamental cornerstone of the entire universe. Their names are [Beginning], [Mystery], and [Origin]!
These three energies intertwine and entangle with each other in the endless void.

Then, each of them evolved into three more specific primordial energies.

These nine primordial energies transformed into nine brilliant colors representing the origin of the Great Dao: blue, red, green, yellow, white, purple, turquoise, and black.

As soon as the Nine Primordial Qi emerged, the [True Realm of the Great Dao] trembled!
Among the myriad true spirit positions, nine figures slowly manifested.

They seemed to have been summoned by some kind of "source," and their figures merged perfectly with the nine primordial energies.

Then, the nine deities took a step forward, transcending the boundaries of time and space, and descending to the mortal realm!
Looking at the nine suddenly appearing deities before him, who bore a striking resemblance to the Primordial Celestial Venerable in both aura and appearance, he was struck by their imposing presence.

Even Nuwa, the Demon Queen, who was used to all kinds of grand occasions, couldn't help but ask:

"And who are you?"

For the first time, her usually cold and aloof voice carried an undisguised solemnity.

The leading deity wore a nine-colored divine robe and a nine-heaven jade crown, exuding the most vast aura.

He shouted loudly to Nuwa:
"I am the eldest son of the Primordial Heavenly King, the Jade Pure True King Longevity Emperor!"

"I have come today by imperial decree to surrender to you!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa was startled.

The Eternal Emperor!

Isn't this from the Qilin clan?

When did he become Yuanshi's "son"?!
Then she hurriedly turned her gaze to the second deity.

The second deity then spoke, its voice like rolling thunder in spring, filled with boundless vitality and majesty.

"I am the second son of the Primordial Heavenly King, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower. Today, I have come to submit to you by the Primordial Heavenly King's decree!"

Nuwa's lips twitched.

She looked at the other deities.

"I am the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation through Thunderclap of the Nine Heavens!"

"I am the Great Emperor of Thunder Ancestor of the Nine Heavens!"

"I am the Great Emperor of the Six Heavens Cave Abyss!"

The nine deities each announced their names.

Nuwa looked at the "Nine Sons of Primordial Beginning" and felt that the world was really too dark.

Especially after all the "Nine Sons of the Primordial Beginning" appeared, a tenth wisp of primordial energy manifested, becoming [Doumu Yuanjun]!
Doumu Yuanjun looked at Nuwa with a smile and asked:
"Fellow Daoist, things have come to this, why don't you surrender?"

Nuwa was speechless.

The cause and effect of the celestial sphere in the past has been returned to me in an unimaginable way today.

"Fellow Daoist Lingbao."

Nuwa turned her head and looked at Lingbao Tianzun, who was also looking bewildered, with a last glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Do you know the 'One Qi Transforms into Nine Pure Ones' technique, plus the 'Doumu' supernatural power?"

Lingbao Tianzun remained silent upon hearing this.

Then, he took two puppet masks from his sleeve and handed one of them to Nuwa beside him.

Nuwa's eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist, that's impressive!"

"They actually had a trump card up their sleeve to turn the tide!"

"No, you misunderstood."

Lingbao Tianzun shook his head and said slowly in a tone full of "been there, done that" experience: "These two things will protect our faces when the fight starts later, so we won't get beaten up badly."

"My older brother is quite ruthless."

Now, it was finally Nuwa's turn to remain silent.

She glanced at the "Nine Sons of the Primordial Beginning" and Doumu Yuanjun, who were already brimming with fighting spirit.

Nuwa silently accepted the puppet mask and put it on her own face.

"Hey……"

Nuwa let out a long sigh.

"A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life!"

"So what if you get kicked out? What's there to be afraid of?!"

"Fellow Daoist, let's keep going!"

Nuwa's incredibly nonchalant attitude in the face of adversity instantly inspired Lingbao Tianzun.

"Okay, let's keep going!"

A fierce battle erupted once again, where the forces were completely mismatched!

The final outcome was, of course, without any suspense whatsoever.

Xuanqing, together with the ten Dao Fruit incarnations, ganged up on Nuwa and Lingbao Tianzun and beat them up.

Especially regarding Lingbao Tianzun, who threatened to suppress him.

[Yuanshi Tianzun] Xuanqing then personally stepped into the scene and began his inhumane "brotherly love and respect" time.

The Pangu Banner in his hand transformed into countless jet-black chaotic sword energies, like the most violent cosmic torrent, completely engulfing the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable who had already given up on life and death.

However, Xuan Qing did not kill him.

He simply used the chaotic sword energy to continuously wear down Lingbao Tianzun's protective divine light, and then tore his blue Taoist robe, which symbolized the "Shangqing" lineage, into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, Xuanqing spun the Pangu Banner again, and its wide surface, like the most resilient board, carried the supreme power of creating the world and struck Lingbao Tianzun's buttocks without mercy.

"Snapped!"

"Third brother, do you know you're wrong?" Xuanqing's voice was extremely authoritative.

Lingbao Tianzun was knocked off balance and his face, which was always filled with arrogance and defiance, turned bright red instantly.

He gritted his teeth and forced out two words:
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Snapped!"

Another powerful and heavy slap, even leaving afterimages.

"Where was the spirit when you were talking about suppressing me?"

"Don't give me a chance, or else..." Lingbao Tianzun's voice trembled slightly.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Xuan Qing seemed to be addicted to the game, wielding the Pangu Banner with great force.

"Are you wrong or not?"

"I... don't want to live anymore!"

Enraged, Lingbao Tianzun was about to self-destruct on the spot.

"Second brother!"

"coming!"

Taishang quickly stepped forward and used the Golden Rope to bind Lingbao Tianzun.

“Wrong, I meant for you to tie him up!” Xuanqing pointed at Zhunti.

Zhunti, who was genuinely enjoying watching the show, was completely bewildered.

"No, no."

Zhunti wanted to argue a few more words, but then the huge Pangu Banner came crashing down.

Before he lost consciousness, he vaguely heard a few words.

“We three brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. We must not let a fourth party spread rumors, lest it ruin the harmony between us.”

"Yes, yes, I didn't think it through. Should we give him a [Forgetfulness Pill]?"

"Is your [Forgetfulness Pill] even legitimate?"

"That package is legitimate!"

Taishang looked again at Lingbao Tianzun, who was bound hand and foot by him.

"What about the third brother?"

Xuanqing thought for a moment.

"Give him a [Forgetfulness Pill] as well."

"Oh, by the way, remember to give one to Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

"These are all respectable opponents, and we must treat them all equally."

Taishang nodded and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi will surely thank us."
