Primordial Era: I, Tongtian, will slay all enemies!

"There is a karmic connection between heaven and earth, and now is the time to guide and liberate all beings. The wondrous Dharma of the West is the Bodhi Sutra, and I am the sage of the Western Sect, the Cundi!"

Without warning, Zhunti descended upon Jin'ao Island, radiating holy might. The surrounding disciples of the Jie Sect quickly made way for him, while his personal disciples immediately rushed out of Biyou Palace to uphold justice.

"I see that you young friends have an affinity with my Western Religion, therefore I have come to invite you to join my Western Religion and learn my wondrous Western teachings!"

Just as Zhunti was about to directly seize the disciples of the Jie Sect, Duobao arrived with the Four Swords of Zhuxian. "Please, Sage Zhunti, show some respect. This is the Jie Sect's sacred ground!"

"Oh, so it's the Daoist Duobao, the eldest disciple of Tongtian Sect. I see that we have a connection, young friend. Why don't you come with me back to the Western Sect and learn the wondrous methods of the West!"

The disciples were all furious upon hearing this, but they were powerless against Zhunti. "Saint Zhunti, you are joking. We disciples of the Jie Sect have been taught by our teacher. How can we betray our sect? Please leave, Saint."

"Hmph! You ungrateful wretch! Tongtian is nothing but an arrogant illegitimate son who doesn't know his place. Today, I will send all of you disciples of the Jie Sect onto the Investiture of the Gods!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Jie Sect immediately assumed a fighting stance, ready to fight to the death.

"I respect you as a saint, yet you dare to insult my leader, the leader of the Jie Sect! Do you truly believe my Jie Sect has no one left to rely on?! All disciples, retreat immediately!"

After saying that, Duobao immediately circulated all his magical power, and a chilling aura spread out.

Four swords, radiating a chilling light, hovered in the four cardinal directions. Runes flickered and glowed on their blades, containing boundless killing power.

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, billowing black smoke enveloped the four precious swords, adding to the eerie and menacing atmosphere.

The central sword energy shot straight into the sky, seemingly about to tear the heavens apart, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Duobao formed hand seals and chanted incantations, channeling the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

As he cast his spell, the sword formation grew increasingly imposing, with the thick black mist surging like a raging sea. The occasional glimpses of the sword formation's true form were enough to send chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing the formation, Zhunti scoffed, "The Four Swords of Zhuxian will only gather dust in your hands; you should give them to me!"

Suddenly, a burst of five-colored light shot out from the Zhuxian Sword Formation. Duobao was forced to retreat and coughed up blood. The four Zhuxian swords disappeared from the spot. Only Zhunti held the Seven Treasures Tree in his left hand and the four Zhuxian swords floated in his right hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is nothing special. You'd better stop struggling and come back to the Western Sect with me!"

"Heh~tui, fellow disciples of the Jie Sect, we once had no way to seek the Dao, but only our Master disregarded our backgrounds and gave us the opportunity to seek the Dao. How can we betray our Master? Today, we swear to die rather than surrender!"

The disciples roared in anger, "As long as the Jie Sect exists, we exist; if the Jie Sect perishes, we perish!"

However, the disciples of the Jie Sect were a mixed bag; some were loyal, while others were cowards. Several cultivators took two steps forward and knelt down, saying, "This humble Daoist is willing to betray the Jie Sect and listen to the wondrous teachings of the West. I beg the Sage Zhunti not to abandon us!"

"You four traitors, your teacher has treated you very well!" After saying this, Duobao was about to step forward and kill the four men.

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhunti sent a beam of light flying out from the Seven Treasures Tree, forcing Duobao to retreat repeatedly and spit out several mouthfuls of blood. "Hmph, you wretched creature, disrespecting a saint, you deserve to die!"

Just as Duobao's life hung by a thread, Tongtian could no longer hold back. The Qingping Sword flew directly towards Zhunti, and the disciples of the Jie Sect breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Qingping Sword.

"Teacher, you must do justice for your disciples!" Duobao and the other disciples burst into tears as soon as they saw Tongtian return.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Fellow Daoist Tongtian! Your cultivation has improved quite a bit in these past hundred years!"

Zhunti kept mocking Tongtian, but Tongtian's face was extremely ugly at this moment, but he did not rush to attack Zhunti.

"I have treated you four very well, imparting to you the methods of cultivation and bestowing upon you spiritual treasures. Is this how you repay me?"

"Tongtian, you are no longer a saint, and your Jie Sect is a chaotic mess. How can it be compared to the Western Sect? We are simply being pragmatic!"

Tongtian said no more and swung his sword at the four traitors, but Zhunti blocked the attack.

"Tongtian, how dare you! You dare to lay a hand on me in front of this Holy One! You have truly audacity!"

Tongtian ignored him and turned to Duobao, "Duobao, you've done a good job as the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, but the Four Swords of Zhuxian aren't used like that. Watch closely, I'll only teach you this once!"

"Hmph, Tongtian, you're truly arrogant! Don't forget you've already severed your own sainthood!"

Tongtian immediately activated his sword technique, causing the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords in Zhunti's hands to unleash a violent attack. Zhunti immediately suppressed his attack, his face filled with astonishment, "Tongtian, you've actually attained the Primordial Chaos Realm once again!"

The saints and great powers who were observing in the dark were also greatly surprised. No one would have thought that Tongtian would attain the Primordial Chaos Realm again within a hundred years.

Before Zhunti could finish speaking, the four swords of Zhuxian flew into Tongtian's hands.

Zhunti was about to retreat, but Tongtian stopped him. Then, the five swords were unleashed simultaneously, forcing Zhunti into the sky.

Tongtian also arrived at the exact spot ahead, looking down at him with his long hair flying and his clothes fluttering. He looked solemn and slowly raised his hands. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color and lightning flashed.

The Zhuxian Sword emits a dazzling red light that pierces through all illusions. The mysterious runes on the sword pulsate like flames, each rune containing boundless killing power.

Four divine swords hovered around Zhunti, their sword energy crisscrossing and weaving into a huge sword net.

Within the sword formation, chaotic energy surged and lightning flashed, resembling a world on the verge of destruction.

Tongtian's eyes flashed like lightning, and with a low shout, the power of the sword formation instantly erupted.

Endless sword energy spread outwards, causing mountains to crumble, rivers to flow backwards, and the heavens and earth to tremble wherever it went.

The entire Zhuxian Sword Formation was like the eye of a huge storm, and no matter how Zhunti tried to break through, he could not escape the formation.

"This...this is the true power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation! As expected of our teacher!"

The guide in Mount Sumeru accelerated its flight towards Jin'ao Island, but it stopped halfway there.

A scream rang out from within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and Zhunti perished instantly, causing blood rain to fall across the primordial world.

"Those who offend my Jie Sect, I will surely kill!"

Tongtian descended onto Jin'ao Island, looked at the four traitors of the Jie Sect, and without saying a word, waved his hand, sending the four directly into the Nine Netherworlds, where they would suffer the scorching flames of karma for eternity.

"The great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is about to begin. The three religions of Humanity, Chan, and the West are all targeting my Jie Sect. My sect is currently at a critical juncture of life and death. If you leave the sect now, I will not hold it against you. But if you betray us in the future, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"

"We swear to serve the Jie Sect to the death and will never betray our Master!" Words of loyalty rose from Jin'ao Island.

Tongtian summoned the Eastern Emperor Bell, and without a word, flew into the air again. "Today, I, this humble Daoist, will use the Eastern Emperor Bell to replace the Four Swords of Zhuxian to suppress the destiny of the Jie Sect. I hope the Great Dao will consider this!"

"allow!"

The saints hiding in the shadows were already surprised when they saw Donghuang Zhong, and their faces showed even more fear.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun sat on a futon with a bitter expression.

"Sigh, variables, variables indeed!"
