Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 20 The Struggle Between Good and Evil, Reversing Yin and Yang

Although the Jade Disc of Creation is not particularly effective in attacking, it is perfect for the current situation, since what is trapping the three of them right now is a peerless and deadly formation.

It is only natural to try to break the formation using the Creation Jade Disc, which has extremely strong deductive abilities.

But neither the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth nor the Daoist of Yin and Yang knew why Hongjun did not use the Jade Tablet of Creation.

Do you want to die here?

They could never have imagined that Hongjun, who cherished the jade tablet as his life, would lend it to someone else!

This was something that not only Qiankun and Yinyang hadn't considered, but even Rahu hadn't thought of!

"Hongjun, although your cultivation has improved a lot over the years, your mind seems to be getting worse and worse! At this point, why aren't you taking out the Jade Disc of Creation?"

Outside the formation, Rahu gathered his malevolent energy while laughing loudly.

His tone was full of glee and sarcasm.

Without waiting for Hongjun's reply, he continued.

"However, I suggest you give up the struggle and submit to slaughter! For my Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation can slay all the immortals and demons above, and cleave through the myriad realms of the primordial world below. Even if you, Hongjun, were to retrieve the Jade Disc of Creation now, you would not be able to change the course of the battle!"

"Rahu! You secretly instigated a war between the three races, causing immense suffering to all living beings in the primordial world. Now you have forged an unparalleled weapon with boundless malevolent energy, and you are already burdened by karmic debt! If you were to attain enlightenment, not a single living being in the primordial world would be able to rest in peace!"

Hongjun summoned the Pangu Banner and once again stopped the God-Slaying Spear, then spoke to Rahu.

"Hahaha, close your eyes? Is this something you, Hongjun, would say?" Luo Hou mocked, continuing, "Hongjun! Actually, you and I are the same kind of people, except that I cultivate destruction and slaughter, so I must slaughter all living beings, while you, Hongjun, don't! But don't you regard those beings below the Great Luo level as ants? If our identities were the same, you might be even more ruthless than me!"

Hongjun remained silent, offering no rebuttal to Luo Hou's words.

Just as Rahu said, in the eyes of these great beings, the masses of ordinary people are no different from ants.

A trillion died, a hundred trillion died, a hundred trillion died—isn't it just a string of numbers?

If it weren't for the fact that the resentment of the dead lingers and the malevolent energy intensifies, Hongjun wouldn't even lift his eyelids.

"Perhaps the old Taoist should follow his example and accumulate more merit in the primordial world..."

Hongjun couldn't help but think of it, but then his Dao heart became firm.

After all, he was going to be the future Dao Ancestor, and his Dao heart was extremely firm. His regret was wiped away in an instant, and then he returned to his calm and composed demeanor, speaking in a peaceful tone.

"It is fate, it is destiny! Rahu, even if I perish here and my true spirit is completely destroyed, you may not be able to achieve your desire!"

"Hahaha!"

Luo Hou laughed loudly, his tone disdainful.

"Do you know that what you're saying right now sounds exactly like the bitter resentment of a defeated person before death! I never thought that you, Hongjun, would say such things one day? It seems you really have no tricks up your sleeve! In that case, I'll send you back to the Great Dao!"

"All fiends of the heavens, heed my command! Kill!"

In an instant, the murderous aura within the Zhuxian Sword Formation intensified by two times, with killing intent and sword energy intertwining repeatedly, seemingly endless, as it attacked Hongjun and the other two.

At this moment, Rahu's Law of Slaughter and Law of Destruction were activated simultaneously!

The power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was also pushed to its limit by Rahu.

Not only were many objects erased from existence, but even time and space lost their meaning under the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and everything was destroyed into nothingness!

Even the most powerful innate treasures were somewhat unable to withstand its might!

You should know that this is not just one innate treasure, but three!

"My life is over!" the Taoist priest sighed.

"How hateful! I haven't even attained the Primordial Dao yet, haven't even realized the Great Dao, and I'm already going to perish here?" Ancestor Qiankun said blankly.

Under Luo Hou's full-force activation, the Zhuxian Sword Formation had already left them with Dao injuries!

What is meant by "the injury to the Way"?

Indelible, irreparable, and irreversible!

Once this happens, there is no hope of attaining enlightenment in this lifetime!

There is no way to heal it, at least not in the primordial wilderness!

That's why the two of them acted like madmen, their eyes wide with rage, completely unlike what one would expect from a quasi-saint level powerhouse.

"Next, you are Hongjun!"

You've lost!

"The one who achieves Hunyuan and successfully proves the Dao will not be the progenitor of the three races, nor will it be you, Hongjun, but rather..."

Just as Luo Hou was about to continue speaking, an incomparably vast aura suddenly broke through space and time.

Along with it, the murderous aura of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was also broken, along with a voice that sounded like heavenly music.

"But it is I, Taihao!"

"Taihao!"

Luo Hou was taken aback at first, then his eyes narrowed and he unleashed a sharp killing intent.

Having reached his level of cultivation, there was no possibility of amnesia or memory distortion, so he immediately thought of who Taihao was.

This is a powerful being who had a brief confrontation with him dozens of eons ago, and who forced him to self-destruct his divine sense!

Of course, the term "great power" is used in relation to other living beings. In Luo Hou's eyes, there is no cultivator in the entire prehistoric world who can call himself a great power in front of him.

Even Hongjun wouldn't work.

Then there's no need to even mention Taihao, who just appeared.

"I wasn't even prepared to cause you trouble, but you've delivered yourself to my doorstep! Fine, saves me the trouble of making another trip after I attain enlightenment! Now, you can die and vanish along with Hongjun and the others!"

Luo Hou's tone was extremely cold, and his expression was indifferent.

In his view, the matter was already settled, and it wouldn't change whether Taihao came or not.

They've come; it's just another quasi-saint falling!

Death and the annihilation of one's spiritual path?

Taihao chuckled lightly, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out the Creation Jade Disc.

It can only be said that the Jade Disc of Creation truly deserves to be Hongjun's supreme treasure for cultivating life and death. Even though it is not particularly outstanding in attack, it still possesses power that is unpredictable to both immortals and demons.

As soon as it appeared, it automatically radiated light and, amidst the boundless malevolent energy of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it detected a spot where the malevolent energy was significantly weaker, relieving the pressure on Hongjun and the other two within the formation.

However, at this moment, Qiankun and Yinyang are clearly not focused on this.

It was Taihao.

"Hongjun! You actually lent the Jade Disc of Creation to someone else? Could it be that you've been waiting for him all this time?" Yin Yang was first surprised, then dejected. "But he's only a late-stage Quasi-Saint. Even if he came, what could he do? Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you're confused!"

"Alas! It's too late to say anything now. Let's think about how to deal with the current situation. In any case, at least we have the Jade Disc of Creation!" Qiankun sighed.

Clearly, neither Qiankun nor Yinyang believed that Taihao had the ability to turn the tide of the battle.

Some even believe that Taihao's role may not be as significant as that of the Creation Jade Disc.

In fact, if Taihao, like them, achieved quasi-sainthood by following the methods of others, then it would indeed be difficult to change anything.

But Taihao was different from them!

If he hadn't transformed into human form later than Hongjun and Luohou, his cultivation level would be no worse than theirs!

But it seems to be about the same now?

At least that's the extent of their strength!

"Boundless malevolent energy? The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation? Demon Ancestor Rahu? I will shatter them all with my own power!"

"You think you can challenge me?" Luo Hou almost laughed. "Only the ignorant think they possess earth-shattering power to compare with me! You think you won the battle dozens of eons ago? That was nothing more than a wisp of my divine thought! Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, activate!"

With a loud shout from Rahu.

The Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram, powerful enough to cover a vast expanse of stars, expanded once more, carrying endless malevolent light and destructive aura, intending to encompass Taihao as well, and then kill him along with him!

"Fellow Daoist Taihao, retreat immediately! This formation cannot be fought head-on. If we enter, we will have no chance of turning the tide. We beg you to stay outside the formation and join us in finding a way to break it!"

Hongjun shouted urgently, fearing that Taihao would be trapped by the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

In his view, Taihao being outside the formation was their only chance. If even Taihao entered the formation, then there would be no hope of escaping. Therefore, he could no longer maintain his composure and lost his composure.

But the next moment, something even more outrageous happened!

"The Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram is actually... collapsing?"

What happened?

The change happened in an instant, and none of the four quasi-saints present, including Rahu, could have predicted this outcome.

How come the sword formation, which was so powerful just a moment ago, has become unstable the next moment?

It looks like a piece is missing.

Is a corner missing?

Luo Hou reacted instantly, then looked incredulously at one of the sword formations, his expression horrified.

"The Immortal Execution Sword... is gone?"

It means literally gone, disappeared.

No matter how he tried to sense it or how he used his Qi to guide it, he didn't know where the Immortal Execution Sword had disappeared, let alone how it had disappeared.

Without the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation would naturally be difficult to maintain.

Therefore, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is composed of four peerless and ferocious swords: the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Trapping Sword, and the Immortal Absolute Sword. All four swords are indispensable, otherwise the sword formation cannot be formed.

Why is this happening?

Luo Hou stared wide-eyed at Tai Hao in disbelief.

"It was you!"

"That's right, it is I!"

At this moment, a billion star rivers around Taihao roared in unison, each containing countless stars. The power of billions of stars empowered him, and the Chaos Bell suddenly resounded, unleashing his unique divine powers and treasures!

This is the creation of nothingness from existence.

It not only reversed cause and effect, but also time itself!

Taihao used his supreme divine power to send the Zhuxian Sword back to the point in time before it appeared!

In an instant, the situation turned around!
