Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

The claws of inner demons and karma arrive silently, yet are extremely ruthless!

This is no longer a simple heavenly tribulation, but a deadly trap set by the will of Heaven against those who defy the heavens to prove their Dao! It accurately predicted the moment when Xuan Du was fully engaged in dealing with the lightning tribulation and his mental defenses were at their weakest, and launched a Dao heart attack that directly targeted his origin!

"mean!"

Above the clouds, the Tongtian Sect Leader was furious. His Qingping Sword emitted a piercing sword cry, and its sharp sword energy was almost about to burst out of its sheath!

The Celestial Lord of the Primordial Beginning also darkened his expression, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand emitted a dazzling light, clearly indicating that he was also truly enraged.

When a sage is angry, the heavens and earth change color.

However, before they could intervene, Niu Ben's calm voice rang out.

"My two senior uncles, please calm down."

Niu Ben crossed his arms, his expression remaining calm and composed. He looked at Xuan Du, who was being attacked from both inside and outside, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"If he can't even see through the mere inner demons and karmic forces, then he is not worthy to be a disciple of my Human Sect."

Just as Niu Ben finished speaking, Xuan Du, who was in dire straits, suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his eyes.

Faced with the pitch-black giant claw that was about to touch his primordial spirit, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes and completely gave up resisting the external lightning tribulation.

"Is he crazy? What is Senior Brother Xuandu doing?"

"He gave up resisting?!"

The disciples of the three religions below were terrified when they saw this scene.

However, the next moment, an indescribable, supreme, far-reaching, vast, and profound Daoist aura suddenly awakened from between Xuandu's eyebrows!

"The highest state is to transcend emotions and follow the natural way."

"The mind is born of me, and it also dies of me."

Xuan Du's voice was ethereal and distant, gently echoing in the depths of his consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, under the horrified gazes of everyone, three towering purple energies burst forth from the crown of Xuandu's head!

The Supreme Forbidden Secret Technique of Taiqing – One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!

Rumble!

Three magnificent figures, identical to Xuandu but with completely different auras, stepped out from the auspicious clouds!

A statue holding a Tai Chi golden bridge, in charge of life and creation!

A being wielding the Chaos Measuring Ruler, in charge of destruction and annihilation!

A magnificent pagoda, imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, is impervious to all laws and indestructible through countless eons!

The moment the three avatars appeared, they turned around without saying a word, their gazes turning icy as they looked at the karmic giant claw that had already probed into Xuandu's sea of ​​consciousness.

"A mere inner demon dares to be so insolent before me?"

"cut!"

The three avatars roared simultaneously, and three completely different yet common-origin Quasi-Saint peak powers converged into an indestructible chaotic sword light, which slashed fiercely at the root of the pitch-black giant claw!

"Awooo—!"

A piercing scream, unlike anything a living being could utter, echoed from the depths of the heavenly tribulation clouds.

The giant claw, formed from endless karma, couldn't even withstand the chaotic sword light for a moment before being severed. It was then completely burned away by the Dao fire emanating from the three avatars, turning into the purest nourishment for the primordial spirit, which was then fed back to Xuandu's main body.

Break through the inner demon tribulation!

Meanwhile, outside, the remaining nine pale white divine lightning bolts had already struck Xuandu's protective millstone solidly.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, the Yin-Yang millstone trembled violently as it was struck, its surface covered with fine cracks, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Xuan Du groaned, and another trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had also suffered serious internal injuries.

But instead of being discouraged, he opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, his fighting spirit soaring to the sky!

"Thank you for this gift from Heaven!"

Xuan Du laughed loudly, and the three avatars instantly returned to their positions and merged into his main body.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the pure primordial spirit power that had transformed from the shattered inner demon!

boom!

Xuan Du's aura rose instead of falling at this moment, climbing higher and higher. The magic power that had been consumed by resisting the lightning tribulation was instantly restored to its peak state, or even exceeded it!

"pretty!"

Niu Ben couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

What a shrewd Xuandu! He actually used the opportunity of slaying his inner demons to devour the karmic essence of the Heavenly Tribulation and make it his own! Such courage and such cunning truly make him worthy of being the disciple favored by the Supreme Sage!

The tribulation clouds seemed to be completely enraged by Xuandu's actions, and the entire world began to tremble violently.

The boundless tribulation clouds began to collapse inward at an incredible speed, and all the lightning, all the laws, and all the destructive power were frantically converging towards a single point!

In the end, the chaotic tribulation clouds that covered the East China Sea actually condensed into an ancient longsword that was only three feet long and had a chaotic and ethereal color all over it!

The Sword of Heavenly Dao!

The moment this sword was drawn, the laws of the entire primordial world groaned in despair, as if they would be completely severed by this sword at any moment!

"The final blow!" Yuanshi Tianzun spoke solemnly.

"If you can withstand it, the world will be vast and you will rise to the top in one step! If you can't withstand it, you will be destroyed and never recover!" The Tongtian Sect Master also put away his smile and stared intently at the world-destroying sword hanging in the sky.

Everyone knows that this is the ultimate killing move of the Primordial Heavenly Tribulation!

The ultimate manifestation of the will of Heaven!

Facing this Heavenly Sword, powerful enough to kill even a saint, Xuandu took a deep breath. He dispersed the Taiji diagram and Yin-Yang millstone around him, and floated in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the wind.

He slowly raised his right hand, his fingers pointing like a sword, and pointed towards the sky.

"My master taught me the Taiqing Dao, and my senior brother bestowed upon me the Hunyuan Method."

"Today, Xuandu will use my own method to receive your final sword strike!"

Xuan Du's voice was calm yet firm, echoing between heaven and earth.

He did not unleash any earth-shattering magical power, nor did he manifest any extraordinary supernatural abilities.

He simply stood there, yet his entire being seemed to merge with the heavens and earth behind him, the East Sea beneath his feet, the distant Penglai Immortal Island, and the entire primordial world.

A supreme state of mind, "harmony between man and nature, and following the natural way," enveloped the entire venue.

hum-

The Sword of Heaven has moved.

It made no sound, but transformed into a streak of light so fast that even a saint's divine sense could hardly detect it, ignoring the barriers of time and space, and instantly appeared before Xuandu's brow.

The tip of the sword, with its terrifying power capable of reducing the universe to nothingness, was about to pierce Xuandu's head and obliterate his true spirit.

It was in that critical moment that things turned out.

Xuan Du raised his sword fingers and gently pointed forward.

"My path is to protect."

His fingertips touched the tip of the Heavenly Dao Sword with perfect precision.
