Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 173 The Human Race's Torch
Tongtian Jiaozhu was able to fight against Yuanshi Tianzun who was holding the innate treasure with only the Qingping Sword. The great way of sword exerted great power in his hands. The sword was as powerful as a rainbow, and the sword energy was omnipresent. In the chaos, he and Yuanshi Tianzun who was holding the Pangu Banner were in a fierce battle.

The two sides fought back and forth, attacking and defending, causing the chaotic energy to surge wildly. The chaos that was hard to be shaken became as fragile as paper under the attacks of the two, and cracks were appearing.

Yuanshi Tianzun was unable to win the battle for a long time and became increasingly anxious. He wanted to use all his strength to display the power of Pangu Banner for a quick victory, but he was afraid of Tongtian's Zhuxian Sword Formation. In addition, he still cared about the brotherhood of the Three Pure Ones. In the end, Yuanshi Tianzun chose to slowly decide the outcome with Tongtian.

The Pangu Banner's attack was fierce, and the chaotic sword energy shot out from the banner was unstoppable.

Every sword energy slashed out by Pangu Banner can cut through time and space, seemingly threatening the leader of Tongtian Sect. In fact, although Yuanshi Tianzun did not show any signs of defeat on the surface, any discerning person could see that he had already fallen into a disadvantage.

Because Tongtian was facing Yuanshi Tianzun, who was holding an innate treasure, and he was able to hold his own with the Qingping Sword in his hand. This was enough to show that Tongtian's sword technique suppressed Yuanshi.

Tongtian was fighting so happily at this moment, the Qingping sword in his hand turned as he wished, his mind and sword were one, he walked leisurely in the violent attack of Yuanshi Tianzun, dealt with it with ease, and found gaps to counterattack repeatedly, gradually taking control of the situation, and began to force Yuanshi Tianzun back, making it impossible for him to attack. The Pangu Banner, which was best at attacking, could only rely on the defense of the innate treasure in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun became more and more frightened as the fight went on. At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He simply put all his strength into activating the Pangu Banner and borrowed power from the Heavenly Dao. His aura instantly reached the fourth level of a saint.

Tongtian also wanted to borrow power from Tiandao, but was stopped by Bai Jing.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, I'm here to play with your second brother. You should fight the two fellow Daoists from the Western Religion!"

Tongtian was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that Bai Jing probably didn't want him to borrow power from the Heavenly Dao. In that case, he would go to guard against the Two Saints of the West.

When the two saints from the West saw Tongtian coming, they felt relieved.

They felt that no matter how powerful Tongtian was, he was not as strong as Bai Jing, who had defeated their two fellow apprentices before.

Just now, the best choice for the two brothers would have been to fight Bai Jing directly on the sea of blood, because the order given to them by Daozu was to stop the formation.

At that time, the fight broke out above the sea of blood. With the power of a saint, Bai Jing's formation would surely be broken.

Even if they had the courage of their fellow disciples, they would not dare to start a war with Bai Jing in the sea of blood. Otherwise, Bai Jing would chase and kill them a few times in anger, and the merits they owed to the Heaven would only increase. They might even be able to maintain their own identity.

In comparison, facing Tongtian, the two brothers are much more confident, and they will never lose when two against one.

After seeing Bai Jing, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed. Bai Jing was the only cultivator in the prehistoric world who could discuss weapon refining with him, and he was also a friend recognized by Yuanshi Tianzun. However, they were going to meet in battle today, which made Yuanshi Tianzun feel quite complicated.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, why did you set up the formation?" asked Yuanshi Tianzun.

"For the sake of the prehistoric world and all living beings, once the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array is successfully deployed, it will be able to continuously purify the filth in the sea of blood, reduce the evil spirits, and make the transformation of the spiritual energy of the prehistoric world smoother. The prehistoric world and all living beings will benefit from this."

After hearing Bai Jing's words, Yuanshi Tianzun hesitated for a moment and said, "Daoyou's formation is really beneficial to the prehistoric world, why would the teacher ask us to stop Daoyou?"

"I think it's probably because the benefits gained from the underground tunnel are greater than those from the heavenly tunnel. After all, the blood sea is at the bottom of the underground realm."

"I see."

"Does Fellow Daoist Yuanshi want to stop me?"

"Of course I have to stop it."

"Why?"

"Although Daoyou's actions are beneficial to the prehistoric world, they do not put the Way of Heaven first, which is naturally inappropriate."

After listening to Yuanshi Tianzun's words, Bai Jing also understood his thoughts. In Yuanshi Tianzun's view, the Way of Heaven is the foundation of the operation of the prehistoric world, and all living beings should put the Way of Heaven first, just like the teachings of the Chanjiao said: follow the will of Heaven, explain the Way of Heaven, teach according to talent, and educate all people.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, a battle between you and me today is inevitable." After saying this, Bai Jing's mind moved and the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand.

The Dao rhythm was flowing around Bai Jing, and hundreds of great ways were flowing around the two great ways of Devouring and Purification. The terrifying momentum made the chaotic energy become restless.

Yuanshi Tianzun's pupils were faint. He was very sure that although Bai Jing was two realms lower than him at this moment, the outcome between the two was still uncertain.

His gaze returned to the sea of blood.

Chang Xi played with Randeng's Qiankun ruler and looked at Randeng with a smile.

Ran Deng took a deep breath and said, "Daoyou Chang Xi just said that I am bullying the weak. Then Daoyou Chang Xi should not attack the younger generation of my Chan Sect, right?"

"I'm not as shameless as you, fellow Taoist."

"Then fellow Taoist, can you please return my spiritual treasure to me?"

Chang Xi curled his lips and said with disdain: "I don't even look down on your top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

After saying that, Chang Xi threw the Qiankun ruler away. Randeng quickly reached out to catch it, and after taking the Qiankun ruler back, he put it away carefully.

Upon seeing this, Guangchengzi secretly thought it was shameful, and then ordered all the disciples of the Chan sect to step forward and break the formation, and the disciples of the Western sect also followed suit.

Seeing this, Xuan Yu stepped forward and waved the Gengjin Xuanhuang fan. The magic power of the peak Daluo Jinxian poured out, fanning out a terrifying golden light that was ten thousand feet wide.

Upon seeing this, Guangchengzi activated the Fantian Seal to suppress the golden light.

The Heaven-Flipping Seal made from the body of Mount Buzhou was extremely heavy, and the golden light was crushed by it in an instant.

Seeing the Fantian Seal falling with unstoppable force, Xuanyu unfolded the Gengjin Xuanhuang Fan in his hand. The main body of the fan was made of Gengjin Qi, and a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi was attached to the fan bones, which could be used for both attack and defense.

"Bang~" the Fantian Seal smashed onto the ribs of the Gengjin Xuanhuang Fan. The Xuanhuang Qi circulated and resisted the Fantian Seal.

There was a hint of surprise in Guangchengzi's eyes. He recalled the Fantian Seal and suppressed Xuanyu again. Xuanyu followed suit and used the bones of the Gengjin Xuanhuang Fan to resist the Fantian Seal.

After the two sides fought like this for several times, Guangchengzi confirmed that he could not defeat Xuanyu with just the Fantian Seal.

Just when Guangchengzi was thinking about how to take down Xuanyu, Xuanyu waved his hand and let the human race's Daluo take over.

Ten thousand immortals of Jiejiao rushed up almost at the same time and fought with the Western Sect and the Orthodox Sect.

When Guangchengzi saw Xuanyu’s solemn expression, he felt something was wrong. He wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Daluo of the human race.

The next second, Xuan Yu's voice rang out above the sea of blood: "Great Dao, I am Xuan Yu, the leader of the human race. Our human race was born from the hands of the Holy Mother Nuwa. Since then, there has only been one quasi-saint in our race. Although our human race is weak, we also know that the prehistoric world is the home of all living things. Now, our human race is willing to contribute a little to the prosperity of the prehistoric world. From now on, all the souls of our human race will be returned to the Holy Lotus Purification Array after their demise, so that the array can operate and purify the filth in the world. Forget the great Dao to witness it!"

As soon as Xuan Yu finished speaking, the human souls that were sinking in the sea of blood seemed to be guided by something. Their souls spontaneously ignited without fire. The flame started from their foreheads and quickly spread throughout their bodies.

Faint flames flickered in the sea of blood and continued to grow stronger!

These flames seemed to be guided by something and gathered towards Xuanyu.

With the injection of firelight, Xuanyu's aura became stronger and stronger, and he soon crossed the threshold of quasi-saint.

After each ball of fire merged into Xuanyu's body, a human figure would appear behind him. There were old men in their octogenarian years, children with yellow hair, strong and mighty men, and gentle and affectionate women. A human figure stood behind Xuanyu, and they looked so ordinary and weak.

But the fire they gathered had the power to spread like wildfire, causing Xuanyu's body to grow taller and his aura to grow stronger.

At this moment, in the underworld, fire also surged and flew into Xuanyu's body. There were also fallen humans there.

Soon Xuan Yu's aura reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and he took a step forward and came to the top of the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array. Using himself as a medium, he injected the soul power gathered by the human race's fire into the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array.

With the continuous infusion of huge amounts of soul power, the monks in front of the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array began to perform their respective duties, allowing the array to begin operating.

The evil spirit and filth in the sea of blood were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Not good! If this continues, the formation will be completed in a few days at most!" Ran Deng thought to himself.

Randeng never imagined that the human race would choose to use the soul power of the fallen human race to maintain the operation of the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array.

If this formation is successful, half of the merit of purifying the filth of heaven and earth will probably fall on the human race. Moreover, as long as this Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation exists for one day, the human race can gain one day's merit. With the help of such a huge amount of merit, the human race may be able to sit in the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Randeng became a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do facing Chang Xi Randeng.

Just when Randang was at a loss, the Qilin clan finally arrived.

The team is led by a Qilin at the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal and two Qilin at the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, followed by ten Qilin at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, and behind them there are hundreds of Golden Immortal and Taiyi level Qilin.

"Elder Mo Qi, quickly help me suppress Chang Xi and stop the human race!"

Hearing Randeng's words, the leading Mo Qilin turned around and looked at Chang Xi, then turned around and said a few words to the Qilin clan behind him, and the Qilin clan then dispersed and flew into the battlefield.

The black Qilin flew straight towards Chang Xi, while two Qilins, one gold and one fire, in the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, rushed towards Xuanyu who was guiding the human race's torch.

Chang Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness when she saw this. With a thought, she summoned the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit and held it above her head to protect herself as she faced the Black Qilin.

On the other side, in chaos.

Jie Yin nodded to Zhunti, who took a deep breath and poured all his magical power into the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree frantically. The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree instantly shone brightly, and the seven-colored light illuminated a large area. Then the light swept towards the Qingping Sword in Tongtian Jiaozhu's hand in an unstoppable manner.

When Tongtian Patriarch saw this, he did not dodge or evade, as if he did not see the colorful light that was said to illuminate everything.

Seeing that the colorful glow was approaching, Master Tongtian slowly raised the Qingping Sword in his hand, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes showed disdain. The Qingping Sword seemed to sense the owner's emotions, and the sword body rang and hummed, and then the light burst out, and the sword energy moved in all directions, colliding head-on with the seven-colored glow of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree.

In an instant, the place where the two met was filled with dazzling light, and the chaotic airflow was stirred into chaos, forming huge vortices.

After the confrontation, Jie Yin frowned. He could naturally see that although Zhunti's attack was fierce, he was still no match for Tongtian Jiaozhu.

In terms of power, the great way of sword created by Master Tongtian is probably even more powerful than the great way of war, which is best at attacking.

In addition, Tongtian himself is quite compatible with the Qingping Sword. The Qingping Sword is like a living thing in his hand. The sword moves with his heart, and his mind and sword are one. Every time the sword is swung, it carries the power to create the world, and Zhunti is defeated step by step.

The more the two fought, the more solemn Zhunti's expression became, but he could not find any chance to fight back. The Seven Treasures Magic Tree in his hand was more for defense than attack, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on, to see if there was a chance for his senior brother to seize Tongtian's flaw and reverse the situation.

Facts proved that Zhunti was overthinking. In a short while, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in Zhunti's hand was chopped down to a dull color.

Seeing the bad situation, Jie Yin's expression became stern. He knew that he could no longer stand by and watch, looking for an opportunity. With a thought, a ninth-grade golden lotus appeared under his feet. Jie Yin sat on the ninth-grade merit lotus platform, which instantly emitted infinite golden light. The golden light turned into a materialized barrier, as solid as a rock, layer upon layer, firmly protecting him and Zhunti's bodies, resisting the sword energy of Tongtian Sect Master.

The peaceful aura emanating from Jie Yin's body, and the one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred incarnations in his dreams merged into a golden body, making all attacks disappear into thin air. At this time, Zhunti was the main attacker, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was attacking fiercely; Jie Yin was the main defender, and although the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit was only a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it was unbreakable when combined with Jie Yin's magical power of attaining enlightenment in his dream.

The cooperation between the two is seamless, and their combat effectiveness is also rising sharply.

However, Master Tongtian looked calm. He faced the combined forces of the two Western saints alone without any fear. Under his exquisite control, the Qingping Sword seemed to transform into an agile dragon, shuttling between the seven-colored rays of light of the Seven Treasures Tree and the golden light of the Nine-Rank Merit Lotus Platform. It was unpredictable, sometimes like stars, sometimes like an upside-down Milky Way, and sometimes like a spring breeze blowing on the willows, gentle but concealing murderous intent.

However, every time the edge of the Qingping Sword was about to hit Zhunti, a golden ripple would always appear on the Ninth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, easily blocking the attack.

Tongtian Sect Master thought to himself: "This Jie Yin's ability to attain enlightenment in a dream is really tricky, but it's still a long way to go to stop me!"

The next second, the light of the Qingping Sword surged again, and the sword shadows split into countless ones, attacking Zhunti and Jie Yin from all tricky angles. For a moment, the sword shadows were dim and the light was intertwined in the chaos.

Seeing that Tongtian was getting more and more courageous in the battle, and the two of them were unable to defeat Tongtian together, Zhunti became extremely anxious.

This battle was the first time that their fellow disciples faced the Three Pure Ones, and also Tongtian, the leader of the Jiejiao sect who had the most disciples. If they returned in defeat today, it would surely be even more difficult for the Western sect to preach to the East in the future. If that happened, when would the Western sect be able to flourish?
After thinking about it, Zhunti made a prompt decision without holding back. He shouted loudly and borrowed the power of heaven.

There was a bright light all around Zhunti, and a six-foot-tall golden body instantly appeared. The next second, the six-foot-tall golden body turned into a golden body with twelve heads and twenty-four arms. Jie Yin raised his hand and blessed the divine pestle, which flew into the hands of Zhunti's golden body.

The golden body stands tall and majestic, dazzling and resplendent, and its twelve heads appear some glaring, some solemn, and some compassionate and peaceful, each with its own expression.

The twenty-four arms are like dancing dragons, each holding a magic weapon.

The garlands sparkle, and their swaying can disturb the mind; the umbrella canopy opens, holding up an independent small world to resist foreign enemies; the flower strings dance, emitting bursts of psychedelic fragrance to interfere with the opponent's perception; the short sword flashes with cold light, revealing its edge; the golden bow and silver halberd echo each other from afar, ready to go; the white axe and banner are majestic, the blessed divine pestle is magnificent, the precious file and silver bottle each show their magical powers, and they all besiege Tongtian Sect Master.

When Tongtian saw this, he showed disdain on his face: "Oh! What's the point of making these fancy things?"

After saying that, Tongtian shook the Qingping Sword in his hand. The sound of the sword rang out like a dragon's roar in the sky. A sharp sword energy was like a giant sword that opened the sky, slashing straight at Zhunti's golden body.

The expressions of the few people in front who were hit first suddenly changed, some were terrified, some were angry, but they had no time to dodge.

The sword energy that reaches the sky collided with the necklace on the golden body's arm. The necklace flashed with light, trying to overcome the sword energy with softness, but it was shattered by the sword energy in an instant and turned into points of light that drifted away.

Immediately afterwards, the sword energy clashed with the dagger, metal clashed, sparks flew, and the dagger was actually vibrated and buzzed, almost falling out of the hand.

The golden bow and silver halberd quickly crossed to resist, but were pushed back by the sword energy, plowing two deep grooves in the chaos.

Zhunti's face changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and controlled his golden body. Twenty-four spiritual treasures worked together and attacked Tongtian.

"That's more like it! You have some of the power of a saint." Tongtian praised Zhunti, and then began to move around, rushing left and right in the siege of magic weapons. Wherever the Qingping Sword passed, the magic treasures in the golden body's hands dimmed, and some were even directly knocked away.

However, Zhunti's golden body is not a vegetarian either. Although some of its attacks were blocked by Tongtian, the golden body has many hands after all, and its attacks are continuous, one wave after another.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and Tongtian Sect Master's eyes became more and more stern. He shook the Qingping sword in his hand violently. In an instant, the sword shadow crossed the boundaries of time and space at an extremely fast speed, instantly breaking through the seemingly dense and seamless defense of Jie Yin Taoist and stabbed straight towards Zhunti.

The golden body of Zhunti was unable to dodge and was pierced by the Qingping Sword. In an instant, golden blood gushed out from the wound and dripped down.

At the moment when Zhunti was injured, Taoist Jie Yin took the opportunity to display his magical power of attaining enlightenment in the dream. He made seals with his hands, and another golden body appeared. This golden body was condensed by the 129,600 incarnations of Jie Yin in the dream. He had fought head-on with Bai Jing in the demon world before, but only suffered some injuries and was not directly blown up.

This golden body contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and a huge golden hand slammed down towards Tongtian Sect Master.

Tongtian Sect Master was unable to dodge and saw the huge hand was about to hit him.

At this critical moment, a chaotic sword energy came like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, slashing towards Jie Yin's big hand.

The chaotic sword energy collided with the golden hand, making a deafening metal collision sound.

The golden hand that was used to receive the gift was directly cut off, and the golden holy blood fell out.

"Yuanshi, what do you mean?" Jie Yin turned around and asked with a cold face.
