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

Chapter 78 Taihao: Dare to bully the weak? I'll make you pay!

Unlike Nuwa, he was not only Hunyuan, but also a Heavenly Saint!

However, Lao Tzu did not spend too much time sensing the changes in his strength. He only wanted to do one thing now, which was to get back the lost crutch!

"Now, whether you agree or not, it's not up to you!"

As he spoke, Laozi unleashed his full power as a sage, attempting to suppress Huo Ling'er with sheer force of his aura.

Even though Huo Ling'er was seriously injured, she still showed no sign of giving in.

They would not hand over the magical treasure, and their attitude remained unchanged.

Laozi let out a cold snort, which was like a thunderclap, causing the fiery tree dharma image behind Huo Ling'er to show signs of collapsing.

The difference between a Primordial Chaos cultivator and a Quasi-Saint is fully demonstrated at this moment!

Even a quasi-saint like Huo Ling'er was powerless against Hunyuan.

Even a single cold snort was enough to aggravate Huo Ling'er's injuries!

Seeing this, Lao Tzu remained indifferent, but secretly pleased.

Hunyuan is indeed extraordinary!

"Since you insist on this, then don't blame this old Taoist for using excessive force!"

As he spoke, the Taiji diagram suddenly enlarged, and a divine power composed of the Yin and Yang laws was unleashed from it! Laozi had thought it through very clearly. Even if this attack couldn't reduce Huo Ling'er to ashes, it would still sever her Dao foundation!

May he never attain enlightenment for the rest of his life!

Only in this way can the hatred of the stolen treasure be avenged!

However, this divine power caused less damage to Huo Ling'er than the previous burst of power!

Or rather, it didn't have any impact at all!

Because it vanished without a trace before it could fully display its power! As if it had never existed at all!

"Huh? How could this be?"

Lao Tzu was momentarily bewildered. He hadn't had time to ponder the reason for the disappearance of his supernatural powers when a thought suddenly struck him and he realized a possibility.

Then, this possibility was confirmed by a voice.

"A Primordial Chaos versus a Quasi-Saint? Taiqing Laozi, since you're so reckless, why don't you exchange a few blows with me?"

Taihao!

Lao Tzu's heart trembled violently!

He had anticipated Taihao's appearance as early as when he attacked Huo Ling'er.

However, in Laozi's view, it is very difficult to break through the Hunyuan realm. Taihao attained enlightenment long before him, so even if his strength is higher than his, it will not be by much.

At least he had a chance to take back the crutch before Taihao appeared and sever Huo Ling'er's Dao foundation!

But it was only at this moment that Lao Tzu realized he was wrong, and very wrong indeed.

How is this just a little higher?

They're not even in the same social class!

When Taihao's aura completely enveloped him, he even felt as if he were being stared at by the Heavenly Dao!

Even if he had attained sainthood, he would find it difficult to bear this feeling!

However, he still went to great lengths, using his two most precious treasures to resist Taihao's endless pressure, and even tried to counterattack using the Taiji Diagram.

Unfortunately, whether it's supernatural powers, magic, or laws, it's all in vain.

All his attacks were wiped out by Taihao.

And it's just a matter of waving your hand!

At the same time, Taihao's Daoist voice resounded throughout heaven and earth once again.

"Breaking through to the Primordial Chaos realm seems to have given you immense confidence? In that case, let me show you a fact! The Primordial Chaos realm is merely the beginning!"

As he spoke, a massive handprint, powerful enough to pierce through heaven and earth, suddenly appeared and pressed down upon Laozi!

Then, in the next instant, Laozi, who had just attained sainthood, was suppressed by Taihao with a single palm strike!

Some have testified that extraordinary phenomena will occur, whether outside or inside the primordial world, and that will spread throughout the entire universe.

For example, in the case of Taihao, although it was outside the primordial world, the shackles of the Heavenly Dao appeared.

Lao Tzu's path to enlightenment was no exception.

Even more so because he achieved the status of a sage, the extraordinary phenomena he witnessed were even more exaggerated than those of Nuwa and Taihao!

Not only did golden clouds permeate the heavens, but the announcement of the founding of the religion also spread throughout the entire prehistoric world! The other few possessors of the Primordial Purple Qi felt the fluctuations even more clearly.

Therefore, they can clearly conclude that Lao Tzu has attained enlightenment!

"Elder brother, you've only been away from Kunlun for ten thousand years, yet you've already grasped the opportunity to attain enlightenment?"

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi's expression was initially one of surprise and doubt, but it was soon replaced by joy.

Because through Lao Tzu's establishment of his teachings, he seemed to have sensed an opportunity to attain enlightenment!

Once the primordial spirit reconnected with the primordial purple energy, the word "seems" became a certainty! "It is indeed an opportunity to attain enlightenment, and also to establish a religion!"

Yuan Shi was excited.

He had been looking forward to this day for countless years, and today his wish was finally fulfilled.

However, just as he was preparing to establish a religion and then use it to prove his faith, he suddenly stopped, and the excitement in his heart seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water, and suddenly cooled down.

"What happened? Why has your imposing aura suddenly dimmed, elder brother?"

"Could it be that there's something wrong with this method of attaining enlightenment?"

"Or did something unexpected happen along the way?"

Yuanshi frowned, and his idea of ​​establishing a religion and proving his Dao subsided. Then, he used his secret techniques to try to find out more about Laozi's place of enlightenment, which was near Buzhou Mountain.

But he was clearly overthinking it. With his late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, it was impossible for him to see through the battle between the two Primordial Chaos beings.

The entire Buzhou Mountain was shrouded in a layer of mist, shrouded in a hazy mist! Yuanshi could even sense a fluctuation within it that made him uneasy. So much so that he dared not continue to probe, but quickly withdrew his divine sense to avoid being harmed by unknown forces.

At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate.

I'm glad I didn't rush to see the proof of the Dao, otherwise I might have run into problems!

Besides Yuanshi, Tongtian also shared the same idea.

It even includes Western duos!

The difference is that the guide and the quasi-saint only felt astonishment and doubt, but not joy.

Because after Lao Tzu attained enlightenment, they did not sense any opportunity for enlightenment, so there was no surprise to speak of.

On the other hand, since Yuanshi and Tongtian had not yet attained enlightenment, although they were anxious, they were not as anxious as in history. Therefore, they were so determined to make a grand vow to the Heavenly Dao and use their merits to become saints!

With this back and forth, the time for the primordial sage to attain enlightenment was delayed once again!

The arrival of the age of sages was therefore much later.

All of this was merely a casual act by Taihao!

It was also a minor trend that he inadvertently altered while changing the overall trend of the primordial world!

Indeed, for Taihao at present, even if it involves four sages, it is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Just like now, he could suppress me with a mere wave of his hand!

A small realm of Hunyuan is equivalent to a large realm before, so even if all four of Yuanshi become saints and are injured together, they will not be a match for Taihao!

As for the overall trend...

"Lao Tzu established Taoism, not a religion of humanity. He didn't take away any of humanity's destiny. Isn't that the inevitable trend?"

Taihao felt relieved as he thought this.

"Master..." Huo Ling'er spoke weakly, her tone filled with self-reproach and guilt.

In her view, she had lost.

And they suffered a crushing defeat!

She was not only seriously injured, but after Lao Tzu attained enlightenment, she was almost powerless to fight back!

Taihao certainly wouldn't blame her; in fact, he thanked her!

Because she flattened the red flower and snatched it from Laozi's hands!

In fact, if it weren't for this, Lao Tzu wouldn't have given up the opportunity of the human race and directly become a saint!

Therefore, if we were to find a key figure in changing the course of events, it would undoubtedly be Huo Ling'er!

Don't blame yourself, you did a great job!

As he spoke, Taihao took out another golden pill and continued.

"This elixir was refined by your master using the Three Lights Divine Water and the first nine fruits of the Yellow Plum. Its healing effect is remarkable. If you take it, your injuries will improve significantly!"

"Thank you, Master, for the medicine!"

Huo Ling'er didn't stand on ceremony and took the golden pill in one gulp.

Seeing that Huo Ling'er had begun to refine the medicinal power, Taihao stopped disturbing her and instead focused his attention on Laozi.

At this point, after struggling for a while, Lao Tzu had broken free from the hand seal.

But I was still a little shaken.

How can there be such a huge difference in strength between people who are both at the Mixed Origin level?

The difference between the early stage of Quasi-Saint and the peak of Quasi-Saint is probably not that great, right? Could it be...?

Taihao has made another breakthrough!

Thinking of this, Lao Tzu was startled, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been completely powerless to fight back!

"But... is it really that easy to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

Laozi didn't have much time to guess. When Taihao looked at him, Laozi felt as if he wasn't a Primordial Being, but a Quasi-Saint.

Why?

Because the situation hasn't changed at all!

"Taiqing Laozi greets Senior Taihao!" Laozi said, forcing himself to speak.

"In a battle between equals, no matter how fiercely you fight, I will not show myself!"

"But if you want to take advantage of the convenience of Hongjun Purple Qi to fight against a lower realm after breaking through to Hunyuan..."

"Then I can only say that you've miscalculated!"

Taihao spoke calmly, without withdrawing his imposing manner.
