Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Humans in the primordial world, transcending heaven and earth! Chapter 427

Upon seeing this, Mr. Jian Gu couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief: "Fellow Daoist, are you capable of maintaining two top-tier formations simultaneously?"

It should be noted that outside the Innate Five Elements Formation, there is also the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which traps four powerful beings, including Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

While the Primordial Five Elements Grand Array can trap sages, it is not known for its killing power; trying to kill them is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Then let me show you, fellow Daoist!"

Xuan Yin smiled slightly, and Shen Ni's figure emerged from the void, with tens of thousands of demon cultivators behind him.

The demons that appeared at this time were all transformed from the ferocious beasts under the god Nimo, and there were many of them who had cultivated into Great Freedom Heavenly Demons!

"The Ten Thousand Demons Formation, activate!"

If there are enough cultivators, it is not impossible to set up two Ten Thousand Demon Formations.

The demons beneath Mount Sumeru can set up the first Ten Thousand Demons Array, while the numerous demon ancestors transformed from ferocious beasts of the abyss world can set up the second Ten Thousand Demons Array under the command of Shen Ni.

Xuan Yin didn't believe that the Sages Association wouldn't try to infiltrate Mount Sumeru!

Just now, several innate saints in the first Ten Thousand Demons Formation have already betrayed the cause; they are all pawns laid out by the saints.

Several others suddenly emitted brilliant Buddhist light, using wondrous methods of salvation to try and dismantle this peerless formation from within the Ten Thousand Demons Formation.

However, they were killed by Xuan Yin's avatar as soon as they showed themselves!

Even before the great battle, Xuan Yin had used his inner power and the laws of law to create Jin Yin and Yin Yin. Jin Yin was responsible for presiding over the Zhuxian Sword Formation, while Yin Yin and...

The supervisor was in charge of the first Ten Thousand Demons Formation.

If any unrest occurs within the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, the two of them must suppress it immediately.

Xuan Yin was in charge of the Innate Five Elements Formation, and with the help of the second Ten Thousand Demons Formation, he was to kill the incarnations of saints such as Taiqing Laozi.

Boom!

With a thought, Xuan Yin summoned the power of Shen Ni and the various demons, which converged on him through the second Ten Thousand Demons Array.

He glanced at the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, then at the avatars of the saints, and laughed, "Now there shouldn't be a second Dao Ancestor Hongjun who can weaken my great formation with the power of balance!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura began to rise steadily, and in a short while, it reached a level comparable to that of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

"Before the Great Dao, there is no room for retreat. Today, I, your Lord, here—behold, I beseech you all to die!"

With the blessing of the Ten Thousand Demons Formation, Xuan Yin's strength is comparable to that of a Primordial Golden Immortal, so killing the incarnations of the saints is naturally not difficult!

However, he still made thorough preparations!

clang!

The innate treasure, the Chaos Bell, emerged from the auspicious clouds above his head and rang nine times in a row. A powerful force capable of suppressing the primordial world erupted instantly, and five-colored rays of light illuminated the heavens and the universe.

Under the power of the Chaos Bell, all the heavens and time were imprisoned, and the incarnations of the saints became lambs to the slaughter.

"Kill God!"

Xuan Yin roared, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand instantly unleashed its ultimate destructive power. Primordial demonic energy swirled around it, like a great dragon, sweeping across the universe with overwhelming force.

With a single shot, heaven and earth were destroyed, gods perished, and even the Great Dao itself trembled!

The God-Slaying Spear pierced the void, its intent to slay immortals and gods flickering. In just a moment, it wiped out the incarnations of several saints, including the incarnation of Laozi, the Supreme Lord.

"No, I must draw upon the power of my true self, or I will surely perish!"

"Even if there's some backlash, it's fine!"

Upon seeing this, the incarnation of the Primordial Celestial Venerable shone brightly, transforming into a beacon of the Dao, attempting to draw the power of the original deity to descend.

Upon seeing this, the incarnations of Taiqing Laozi, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren also unhesitatingly guided the power of their respective deities to descend.

This is a last resort!

The Great Luo is a certificate that is eternally proven. Saints are naturally even stronger. It is not difficult for them to draw upon the power of the original deity by means of a beacon or imprint.

However, the path of the sage is like the blazing sun; once it descends upon the time and space before one attains enlightenment, one will absolutely not escape the backlash from the river of time.

If they hadn't been pushed to the limit, why would they have resorted to such methods?

However, just as the group was receiving the power of their true selves, a sword light containing the power to sever the heavens directly cut off space and time.

It was the Tongtian Sect Leader who made the move!

The connection between the true forms of Taiqing Laozi, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren and their respective Dao markers vanished into nothingness under this single sword strike.

But Yuanshi Tianzun was an exception!

Before the creation of the world, the Tongtian Sect Leader acted hastily and only managed to cut off the Dao Fruit power of the Dao Fruits of the Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti, and Laozi Taiqing, who were destined to attain Dao in the future, or whose Dao Fruits symbolized the foundation of the existence of the primordial true world and the supreme beings who resided in the world.

Seeing this, Xuan Yin Dao Shen did not hesitate and appeared together with Luo Hou's true form to prevent Taiqing Laozi and others from interfering with the past.

Now is undoubtedly the most crucial moment. If Xuan Yin can take control of Luo Hou's concept, Luo Hou will be able to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and Xuan Yin can use the power of the Heavenly Dao to complete the second proof.

The two of them naturally spared no effort.

Within the Innate Five Elements Grand Array, seeing that Taiqing and the others had failed to draw upon the power of their true forms, Xuan Yin immediately destroyed their avatars.

Even the incarnations of Yuanshi Tianzun are no exception!

But he knew that the power of Yuanshi Tianzun had not been cut off by Tongtian Jiaozhu, so to whom did his power descend?

"The Supreme Path!"

Xuan Yin's gaze involuntarily followed the mysterious cause and effect, looking towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain, where the Eastern Demonic Sect once stood.

Yuanshi Tianzun was not a fool. If he had descended directly to the West, he would have only fallen into the innate Five Elements Grand Array that Xuan Yin had set up in advance.

At this point, joining the Supreme Path and making a final push is the best option!

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect materialized, permeating the past, present, and future, while countless dark forces symbolizing the demonic path converged upon him.

"Heaven's Way reigns supreme, and I, without equal, am willing to transform myself into the realm, becoming the dark side of Heaven's Way, to suppress the desires of all beings in the primordial true world!"

With the power of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Supreme Dao showed no hesitation. He directly pushed the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to its limit, reflecting the power of the Dao Fruit onto the present time and space. Then, he reversed the cause and effect, attempting to evolve the dark side of the Heavenly Dao before Xuan Yin.

Doing so would undoubtedly invite a backlash from the River of Time, but at this moment, only by doing so could Xuan Yin be prevented from inheriting the Dao Fruit of Rahu.

"It's not that easy!"

Seeing this, Xuan Yin couldn't help but sneer, "Even if you possess some demonic luck, how can you gain the approval of the demonic origin?"

"Know that I am the Demon Ancestor, the sole source of demonic power in the primordial world!"

According to Rahu, the demon is the dark side of everything in the world, a calamity, a trial, and the heavenly path that is opposed to the divine way.

The demonic path can be the dark side of the heavenly path, but it cannot be only the dark side of the heavenly path!

Yuanshi Tianzun's decision to have his incarnation, the Supreme Dao, withstand the backlash of the River of Time and Space and evolve the dark side of the Primordial Heavenly Dao ahead of time was indeed a brilliant move. However, what Xuan Yin wanted was to transform the Demonic Path to a level equal to or even superior to the Heavenly Dao.

"Today, I will offer a grand sacrifice to all living beings and to Heaven and Earth, to help me prove the origin of the demonic path!"

With a thought, Xuan Yin received the talisman that Cangli had given him before his transformation into the Dao, which then transformed into a primordial purple aura that could connect with the Heavenly Dao.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable used the method of reversing cause and effect to establish a connection between the Dao fruits of the Heavenly Dao of later generations and the present Primordial Heavenly Dao.

Although Xuan Yin also had some karmic connection with the Heavenly Dao, his mastery of the Great Dao of Karma was not as great as that of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Therefore, we must rely on external aids!

A monstrous surge of demonic energy appeared, transforming into a vast and mysterious Great Luo Heaven, which then rapidly expanded under the influence of the Primordial Purple Qi.

Meanwhile, countless strange runes rose up on the western land. If someone were to look down on the western land from the Ninth Heaven, they would find that the entire west had become an altar.

This is an unprecedented grand ceremony!

Those beings of the three races who perished in the Western Lands were sacrifices for the Great Sacrifice. The immortal cultivators brought by Hongjun, including the disguises of those saints, were also sacrifices for the Great Sacrifice!

In addition, the demons on Mount Sumeru, the demons transformed from ferocious beasts, the earth veins and spiritual veins on the western land, and the calamity energy permeating the primordial true world are also sacrifices for the Great Sacrifice.

Even the gods, the soldiers, and Xuan Yin himself were sacrifices for the Great Sacrifice.

The same goes for those in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Despite being protected by the auspicious clouds of the heavens, the Jade Disc of Creation, and the power of the Heavenly Dao, the grand sacrifice held by Xuan Yin could not harm him in the slightest.

However, Yin Yang and Qian Kun could not withstand it. The Qian Kun Ancestor was the first to perish. Although the Yin Yang Ancestor became much stronger after being corrupted by Laozi of Taiqing, he could not escape the calamity of death.

The moment Yang Mei Daxian realized something was wrong, he immediately used the Great Dao of Space to escape.

"Damn brat, you even tricked me! I even gave you the Azure Lotus Banner!"

But at this moment, Xuan Yin's power was already established, and the entire West had become a place of great sacrifice, so he could not possibly stand up to stop Xuan Yin!

As Xuan Yin and Wu Shang Dao simultaneously unleashed the dark side of the Heavenly Dao, the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao began to rise continuously.

The aura of Dao Ancestor Hongjun rose even higher, and a power belonging to the Heavenly Dao Saint and the Primordial Golden Immortal instantly swept across the prehistoric world.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was instantly broken, and he used his saintly divine power to collect the Taiji Diagram, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords, and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram.

At this moment, he was no longer the Hongjun Daoist who fought against Rahu, but the Dao Ancestor who held the Heavenly Dao and suppressed everything with supreme power!

Luo Hou's pursuit of emptiness through reduction, the struggle between Xuan Yin and the dark side of the Primordial Heavenly Dao of the Supreme Dao, and many other causes and effects were all revealed in his eyes.

He didn't interfere!

As the Lord of the Heavenly Dao, he needs to be impartial. He cannot favor Xuan Yin, nor can he favor Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who also plots against the dark side of the Heavenly Dao!

Xuan Yin, who sacrificed the Western earth veins, spiritual veins, and all the gods and immortals, has undoubtedly gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao with the help of that Primordial Purple Qi.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun was originally a sage of the Heavenly Dao, and he had authority within the Heavenly Dao, as well as the qualification to evolve the dark side of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the struggle between the two over the Great Dao has transformed into a struggle for the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Both of them are now Heavenly Saints, but in the struggle over the dark side of the Heavenly Dao, Yuanshi Tianzun still has a slight advantage!

There's no other reason than this!

The insights of the Primordial Celestial Venerable into the Heavenly Dao surpass those of Xuan Yin, the newly ascended sage!

Xuan Yin had only comprehended two Heavenly Dao authorities. Even if he sacrificed the entire West, he would only be able to stand on equal footing with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable!

But Xuan Yin suddenly burst into laughter!

"God, help me!"

As soon as the words were spoken, countless dark forces, symbolizing all living beings, descended from the Gate of Myriad Wonders, which symbolizes the divine path, upstream of the river of time and space.

The dark side of the divine path instantly merged into the Great Luo Heaven evolved by Xuan Yin.

The expression of the Primordial Celestial Venerable changed instantly!

Before he could react, Xuan Yin had already activated the power of the underground passage.

"The tunnel, help me!"

The Earth Mother Yuanjun and the Old Mother of Lishan appeared at the same time. One was in charge of the Earthly Path, while the other transformed the dark side of the Earthly Path into a mysterious universe, which was then integrated into the Great Luo Heaven, which was evolved by Xuan Yin with the help of the Primordial Demonic Qi and many demonic beings.

At this moment, with the blessing of the dark side of the divine and earthly paths, the situation was completely reversed, and the face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable became extremely ugly.

But this is still not the end!

"Humanity, help me!"

With a loud shout from Xuan Yin, the River of Humanity manifested, reflecting the Five Primordial Elements and the Five Acquired Elements along with the human heart and the demonic realm.

As the Emperor's Banner was waved, the true spirits of countless cultivators who had perished in the Dragon-Han Calamity shone brightly. Then, carrying the dark side of humanity, they transformed into a stream of light and completely merged into the origin of the demonic path.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Way, the Divine Way, the Earthly Way, and the Human Way, the Demonic Heaven evolved by Xuan Yin completely covered the Demonic Heaven evolved by Yuan Shi Tian Zun, becoming the sole source of the Dao among all heavens.

The Origin of Demonic Path!

Without Xuan Yin needing to do anything, the moment he proved the origin of the demonic path, the primordial Dao in the chaotic universe sensed it.

Countless golden rays of light fell from the Great Dao, as if congratulating him on becoming the new Primordial Demon God.

"We lost!"

Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but show a helpless expression. He knew that he could no longer stop Xuan Yin from achieving the second stage of Hunyuan!

His avatar was covered in cracks, just like porcelain—this was the backlash from the river of time caused by his actions across time and space!

His Dao heart teetered on the brink of collapse, as if it would plunge into an abyss and shatter at any moment.

But it's also possible to go even further and complete an unprecedented transformation!

He gazed silently at Xuan Yin, intending to say something, but then realized that Xuan Yin had not stopped moving after attaining the origin of the demonic path.

All around Xuan Yin, an endless sense of annihilation emerged, with the illusory image of returning to nothingness reflected, as if he were about to transcend the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

"Offering oneself as a sacrifice!"

With a soft voice, Xuan Yin directly sacrificed everything, including the Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Dao Saint, and the dark side of the four paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God.

Under the astonished gaze of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he laughed and said, "Grandmaster, in the way of teaching, a disciple need not be inferior to his master, nor a master necessarily more virtuous than his disciple. Today, your grand-disciple dares to propose that the demonic path be equal to the heavens, and that the demonic path become a great path standing shoulder to shoulder with the heavenly path!"

"We humbly request your approval, Grandmaster!"

Before he finished speaking, his Great Dao transformed directly into a demonic tree, connecting the past, present, future, and the four paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God.

Boom!

His physical body exploded and returned to nothingness, but from within that nothingness a new source of demonic power emerged, transforming into a completely new source of demonic power.

A power, though weak, yet of equal stature to the Heavenly Dao, instantly swept through the void.

"magic!"

"magic!"

"magic!"

In a daze, it seemed as if millions of saints and billions of living beings shouted in unison, and then lifted the demonic path and flew towards the infinite heights.

Not long ago, the demonic beings that Xuan Yin had sacrificed also reappeared and fell into the new demonic realm evolved from the origin of demonic cultivation.

Shen Ni and Jian Bing were among them. Their auras had already surpassed those of a Quasi-Saint, and they were only one opportunity away from becoming Demon Saints!

Xuan Yin is now the originator and ancestor of the demonic path, as well as a sage of the heavenly path.

Although the demonic path is on par with the heavens, it has not transcended the heavenly path. Instead, it uses itself as a link to connect the four paths of heaven, earth, humanity, and gods.

He can be a demonic saint, a heavenly saint, an earthly saint, a human saint, or a divine saint, as long as he wants!

However, because the human and divine paths have not yet fully evolved, he currently only holds the rank of a semi-saint in both.

To become a saint of humanity or a saint of divinity, one must wait for Fuxi and Taiyi to complete the evolution of humanity and divinity!

Given time, once the divine and human paths have evolved, Xuan Yin can naturally become a saint of the divine and a saint of the human path!

Of course, the most crucial point is that no matter which of the four paths—Heaven, Earth, Man, and God—becomes stronger, Xuan Yin's demonic path will benefit from it!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "In the beginning of chaos, the primordial energy was boundless, and the demonic essence was born, breaking through the heavens and earth. My body merged with countless tribulations to solidify true bones, and the Dao embraced a thousand evils to forge a magnificent chapter. If the sky collapses, I will support the nation; if the earth crumbles, I will suppress the calamities of the imperial capital. Humans and gods will ascend to the celestial palace together, and demons will stand alongside heaven, for the Dao is boundless!"

For a moment, all was silent, and even Dao Ancestor Hongjun showed a look of shock!
