Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 344 The Fate of the Heavenly Saint, Brothers Fight Again in the Nine Heavens

Yu Ding and the others knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly agreed.

Just as the group was exchanging words, an ethereal and elusive holy aura appeared in the sky above Mount Qi.

The visitor was Cundi, one of the two saints of the Western religion.

After glancing at the members of the Holy Lotus Sect, Zhunti immediately summoned the Seven Treasures Tree, and the seven-colored rays of light swept towards the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation. He clearly intended to use his saintly power to break the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation and rescue the Golden Lotus Seed and Ksitigarbha of the Western Sect.

The seven-colored rays of light plunged directly into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and the formation began to tremble violently.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was not defeated, and even gradually dissipated the seven-colored glow that Zhunti had unleashed.

The disciples of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect present all changed their expressions upon seeing this.

This is a sage personally taking action! It's a completely different concept from the chaotic sword energy that Guang Chengzi unleashed while wielding the Pangu Banner.

It is truly unbelievable that the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation could actually wear down a saint's attack.

Zhunti frowned as well. He hadn't held back at all, even bringing out the Seven Treasures Tree, yet he still couldn't break through the formation.

Zhunti turned to look at the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, who were protected by the Four Extremes Venerable, and stepped forward, saying, "Young friend Yunxiao, I have come to Qishan to plead for my disciples. I beg you to do me a favor and release them from the formation."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Holy Lotus Sect had different expressions. Gui Ling directly transmitted his voice to complain, "This Zhunti is truly shameless. As a saint, personally taking action to break the formation is already bullying the weak. Since he couldn't break the formation, he actually asked to release the people. He has completely disgraced the saint."

"That's true, but Zhunti is a saint after all. If we refuse him outright, it would seem that our Holy Lotus Sect doesn't respect saints," Yunxiao's clone said helplessly.

"So, what does Junior Sister plan to do? Release them directly?"

Yunxiao's clone shook his head and said, "I am unwilling to release him directly. It would be better to let Zhunti come into the formation."

Then Yunxiao stepped forward and said loudly, "The Sage has given an order, and in principle we should not refuse. However, we are now in different camps and are enemies, so it is absolutely impossible for the Sage to make us sisters release people with just one word."

"I urge the Sage to personally go into the formation and bring out his disciples." After saying this, Yunxiao waved his hand, and four figures appeared in the center of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Zhunti glanced at Ksitigarbha and the Golden Lotus Seed, then decided to stop hesitating and fly directly into the formation.

As soon as Zhunti entered the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, he sensed that the formation was filled with black mist, winding and turning, and hiding deadly dangers. He used his divine sense as a sage to explore the surroundings, but found that his divine sense was like a mud ox entering the sea, swallowed up by the formation, and he could not distinguish the direction.

The Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation can not only deplete magical power, but also bewitch people's minds, even suppressing the abilities of sages.

Zhunti's expression darkened, and he waved the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand repeatedly, unleashing a rainbow of seven colors as he tried to forcefully break through the array's fog.

Where the rosy light passed, the black fog receded slightly, but soon surged back like a tide.

Zhunti's heart sank slightly. His sixteen-foot golden body radiated boundless Buddhist light, protecting his entire body and resisting the invisible force that was eroding from the formation.

This Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is truly mysterious. Time flows within the formation at a pace that is both slow and fast, space is distorted, and directions are indistinguishable. Even his saintly body felt a slight stagnation.

Zhunti pressed on, trying to find the Golden Lotus Seed and Ksitigarbha, but found that the scenery in the formation kept changing, sometimes a towering yellow wave, sometimes an endless desert, making it impossible to know where to start.

As time passed, although Zhunti was not seriously injured thanks to the great power of the sage, the eroding force in the formation was pervasive, gradually slowing down the flow of his magical power.

Zhunti frowned slightly and thought to himself, "This formation is truly troublesome. Moreover, Yunxiao, who is controlling this formation, is not here in his true form. If Yunxiao were to control it in his true form, I'm afraid my magical power would be worn down by this formation."

With this in mind, Zhunti held back no longer. He once again summoned the Seven Treasures Tree, attempting to tear the formation apart with brute force.

However, as Zhunti's attack landed, he then discovered that at the foot of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, there were phantom images of the Four Extremes Venerables surrounding it.

This great formation actually incorporates the mark of the Four Extremes Venerable!

Guang Chengzi, who was outside, suddenly realized why the chaotic sword energy he unleashed with the Pangu Banner could not break through the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. It turned out that there was the mark of the Four Extremes Venerable in this formation.

Upon seeing the mark of the Four Extremes Venerable, Zhunti knew he could not forcefully break through the great formation. He sighed and said, "Young friend Yunxiao, are you really going to make a blood feud with my Western Sect by pressing us so hard? Please do me a favor and release my disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao's clone calmly replied, "You flatter me, Sage. We are merely acting on your master's orders. If you can break the formation, you may take your disciple with you. If not, there is nothing we can do."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti knew that there was no point in delaying any longer. Although he was unwilling, he understood that forcing his way through would be futile, so he had no choice but to retreat. He sighed and his sixteen-foot-tall golden body transformed into golden light and soared into the sky, exiting the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.

Outside the formation, the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Western Sect were all astonished to see Zhunti return empty-handed.

Zhunti's face was gloomy as he scanned the members of the Holy Lotus Sect and said in a deep voice, "I will remember what happened today. When we meet again, I will settle the score for what happened today!"

Having said that, Zhunti turned and left.

Gui Ling chuckled softly, "Even the Sage Zhunti couldn't break this formation. Junior Sister, you have quite the skill!"

Yunxiao's clone, however, looked solemn and transmitted his voice, saying, "The sage has retreated, but only temporarily to avoid the limelight. The Western Sect will not let this go easily. Moreover, besides the Western Sect, there is also the Jade Purity Sage of the Chan Sect. We need to make preparations as soon as possible."

Indeed, this was the case. In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, when Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Zhunti had returned empty-handed, he said with a cold face, "This Zhunti is truly a piece of trash, so useless! He can't even break a great formation set up by someone who isn't a saint!"

As he spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun got up and prepared to fly to Qishan.

"Clang~" A sword sound rang out from Kunlun Mountain. Yuanshi Tianzun paused and looked up. It was Tongtian Jiaozhu!

"Tongtian! How dare you come to Kunlun to show off your power!"

“Second brother, it’s not that I’m showing off, it’s that you’re trying to bully the weak, and I can’t just sit idly by.”

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned ashen. He immediately summoned back the Pangu Banner and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi: "Tongtian, you have repeatedly defied me. Today I will teach you a lesson and show you what it means to be an elder brother!"

"I also wish to learn from your superior skills, Second Brother. Please enlighten me." "Then let's go!" After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun stepped out and ascended to the heavens.

The primordial world is now sealed off, and we cannot go into the chaos; we can only wage war in the heavens.

Tongtian chuckled and followed closely behind.

High above the heavens, Tongtian and Yuanshi confronted each other, their combined aura causing the clouds and seas to churn and eclipsing the brilliance of countless stars.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, his gaze sharp as a sword, revealing his brilliance.

In the past, he severed his own sainthood, abandoning the sainthood recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and resolutely embarked on the arduous path of creating his own Great Dao of Swords. In the end, he proved the Dao with his strength, became a Primordial Golden Immortal, broke the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and opened up a supreme sword path that was unprecedented.

By creating his own Great Dao, he gained the favor of the Great Dao and was rewarded with a massive amount of merit, which further enhanced the power of his swordsmanship.

After years of arduous cultivation, Tongtian has now reached the late stage of the second level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm. His sword intent is all-pervasive, capable of cleaving through the void and annihilating galaxies in the blink of an eye. Every move he makes contains endless profound mysteries of the Great Dao, capable of cutting down all things in heaven and earth with his sword.

Yuanshi Tianzun was no less formidable. Although not long ago, he defied the prohibitions of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man and forcibly attacked Kong Xuan, he was punished by the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and his cultivation level once dropped to the third level of the Saint Realm.

However, after receiving half of the creation merits bestowed upon him by Laozi, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's cultivation had returned to the fourth level of the Saint realm.

In terms of cultivation level, Yuanshi Tianzun was two major realms ahead of Tongtian, and his internal magical power was as vast as the sea. He was confident that he would not lose to Tongtian.

After a standoff, Tongtian finally made the first move. Tongtian knew Yuanshi Tianzun's temperament; his second brother was extremely proud and would not use his seniority to attack him first.

Tongtian drew his Qingping Sword and casually slashed. Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, knowing that Tongtian's casual strike was not meant to take advantage of him.

"How arrogant!" Yuanshi Tianzun was two major realms ahead of Tongtian. Relying on his realm advantage, he directly used his great power to wave the Pangu Banner, and the chaotic sword energy swept across the nine heavens, intending to suppress Tongtian in one fell swoop.

Tongtian remained calm, his Qingping Sword radiating brilliant sword light. This sword light was like an inverted Milky Way, its sword energy stretching for billions of miles, easily shattering the chaotic sword energy.

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression changed slightly. He summoned the Pangu Banner and unleashed the Chaos Sword Qi. Tongtian blocked his attack with just the Qingping Sword. Is proving the Dao by force really that strong?

The Primordial Celestial Lord did not believe it. With a thought, he unleashed several more chaotic sword energies.

Tongtian pointed at the Qingping Sword, which split into eight. Based on the Eight Trigrams, the sword array was formed, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword Array was set up. Once the array was complete, the world lost its color, and even the skin of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable felt a stinging pain.

"Second brother, you are fixated on the Heavenly Dao and the Holy Position, and you will never be able to comprehend the Great Dao!" After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Master pointed his fingers into a sword, and the sword rang out, shaking the nine heavens. With a wave of his sword finger, the sword light in the sword formation was slashed out and transformed into billions of star rivers, directly slashing at the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Wherever the sword light passed, the void collapsed, chaos was annihilated, and even the Great Dao was severed.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's expression was solemn. He activated the Pangu Banner with all his might, and the chaotic energy transformed into a boundless barrier, barely blocking the sword light that reached the heavens.

"Tongtian, so what if you created your own Great Dao? You don't understand the will of Heaven, and you are ultimately not on the right path. My realm is far superior to yours, and today I will make you know the power of the Heavenly Dao!"

After speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun offered up the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. The jade ruyi radiated a dazzling light, transforming into three thousand illusory worlds, which pressed down on Tongtian Jiaozhu. Each illusory world contained boundless power, intending to crush Tongtian into dust.

Tongtian, however, remained fearless. The eight swords of the Intercepting Heaven Sword Formation merged into one, transforming into an unparalleled sword beam that pierced through the ages. Wherever the sword beam passed, the illusory images of the three thousand worlds shattered, and its remaining power did not diminish, directly approaching the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Tongtian's swordsmanship was incomparably sharp, each strike aimed directly at Yuanshi Tianzun's weaknesses, forcing Yuanshi Tianzun to defend himself on all sides, and suppressing the full power of the Pangu Banner. Although Yuanshi Tianzun had a higher realm and more abundant magical power, Tongtian's swordsmanship combat power was like a raging wave, subtly overshadowing Yuanshi Tianzun.

In an instant, the heavens crumbled and chaos surged. The Tongtian Sect Leader fought with increasing ferocity, his sword intent growing ever sharper, as if he wanted to cleave the entire heavens in two.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun had not been defeated, he was already showing signs of fatigue, with beads of sweat on his forehead and a more solemn look in his eyes.

Seeing that the battle was going badly, Yuanshi Tianzun had a thought and secretly communicated with the Heavenly Dao, borrowing the vast power of the Heavenly Dao. In an instant, his aura surged and his cultivation directly broke through to the fifth level of the Saint Realm!

The fifth level of the Saint realm is a completely new realm. The magical power is like an endless sea of ​​stars. With a wave of the hand, one can change the world. Its power is far beyond that of the fourth level.

"Tongtian, you think you are invincible in the way of the sword, today I will let you see the power of the Heavenly Dao!" Yuanshi Tianzun's hair and beard stood on end, and his voice was like thunder that shook the nine heavens.

He swung the Pangu Banner with all his might, and the chaotic energy transformed into countless torrents, carrying supreme heavenly might, instantly crushing the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation that reached the heavens.

The sword light dissipated, the illusory image of the Eight Trigrams was completely destroyed, and a ten-thousand-mile-long crack was torn open in the sea of ​​clouds in the nine heavens.

The Tongtian Sect Leader remained calm, shaking his head and saying, "Second brother, borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao is ultimately not your own path. Today, I will show you the ultimate of my swordsmanship!"

After saying this, Tongtian flipped his hand and produced a scroll of array diagrams, which was none other than the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram!

This array was reforged by Tongtian with supreme sword intent when he perfected the Great Dao of the Sword. It is no longer a simple killing array, but a manifestation of the true meaning of Tongtian's sword path, containing endless mysteries of severing all things.

The Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram unfolded in the wind, instantly transforming into a sky-covering sword formation that enveloped the heavens.

Four peerless, deadly swords—the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the Immortal-Trapping Sword, and the Immortal-Severing Sword—rose from the array diagram and hung in the four directions. Each sword was filled with a world-destroying sword intent. As the sword lights intertwined, the void shattered, chaos collapsed, and even the power of the Heavenly Dao was faintly suppressed.

Yuanshi Tianzun felt a tightness all over his body, and found himself trapped inside the Zhuxian Sword Formation! Within the formation, sword energy crisscrossed, and countless sword beams rolled up like a galaxy, each sword light aimed directly at his weakness, with endless killing intent.

Yuanshi Tianzun activated the Pangu Banner, and the chaotic energy flow transformed into a protective barrier, but it was cut to pieces by the sword energy. He then offered up the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which bloomed with the illusion of three thousand worlds, attempting to suppress the sword formation, but the illusion was suppressed by the sword intent before it could take shape.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned, and with the Pangu Banner fully activated, the chaotic sword energy swept out once again, attempting to break through the formation.

However, the sword light within the Zhuxian Sword Formation converged like billions of stars, each sword energy incredibly precise, pointing directly at the flaws of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Before the chaotic sword energy could even touch the array wall, it was shredded by the endless sword light and vanished without a trace.

"Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, suppress!" Yuanshi Tianzun forcibly activated his divine power, causing the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to transform into the phantom of three thousand worlds, attempting to use the power of infinite worlds to support the sword formation.

However, the sword intent within the Zhuxian Sword Formation was boundless. With a single slash of the Luxian Sword, the illusory world shattered like paper; with a single thrust of the Xianxian Sword, the protective aura of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable cracked inch by inch; with a soft hum of the Juexian Sword, the void was completely severed, and even the circulation of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's magical power became sluggish.
