Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Above Mount Buzhou.

Xuan Du stood alone in the chaotic halo, his green robes fluttering slightly, his black hair flowing like ink.

He ignored the telepathic conversation between Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, as well as the changes in the starlight of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

His gaze remained fixed on the figure shrouded in the pure, ethereal light opposite him.

Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuqing Saint, one of the Three Pure Ones, is in charge of the Chan Sect, enjoys the merits of the creation of the world, and is at the peak of the fifth level of Heavenly Dao Saint.

At this moment, the saint, who had always been aloof and regarded all living beings as pawns, finally showed a hint of... solemnity on his face.

"The Second Level of the Primordial Grand Luo Realm..."

Yuan Shi spoke slowly, his voice still indifferent, but deep within that indifference lay a barely perceptible trace of apprehension:

"Xuan Du, you really have... surprised me."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's lips slowly curved into a smile.

The curve was faint, yet it exuded a domineering aura that transcended all laws and embodied an unparalleled sense of superiority.

"Accident?"

He slowly shook his head:

"Yuanshi, what you didn't expect... is yet to come."

The words fell.

Xuandu took a step forward!

"Buzz!"

A massive, ten-thousand-foot-long rift silently split open in the void!

He moved like lightning, instantly traversing thousands of miles, and directly approached Yuanshi!

There are no fancy supernatural powers, no mysterious Taoist methods.

It was just a simple punch.

A punch was thrown!

"boom!!!"

The chaotic martial arts essence erupted from his fist!

That was neither ordinary magical power nor the laws of heaven.

Rather, it is a power that originates from the deepest, purest, and most domineering source of life!

Wherever the power passed, the void crumbled inch by inch, revealing the endless chaotic currents behind it!

Amidst the turbulent currents, the illusory images of mountains and rivers evolved wildly, while earth, fire, water, and wind surged and roared. Furthermore, fragments of primordial laws from the very beginning of creation scattered like exploding stars!

This punch seems simple.

However, the true essence of martial arts contained within it has already touched upon the fundamental nature of the Primordial Dao!

I prove my path through force, and I am the only one who reigns supreme!

"Arrogant!"

A cold light flashed in Yuanshi's eyes, and he flicked his sleeve!

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi shone brightly, and the Jade Pure Immortal Light descended in a substantial manner, evolving into an endless barrier of laws that stood in front of him!

Above the barrier, the patterns of the Heavenly Dao are densely packed, evolving all the order and rules since the beginning of time!

This is the manifestation of the authority of Heaven!

It is a symbol of a sage acting on behalf of Heaven to carry out punishment!

"Bang!!!"

The fist clashed violently with the barrier!

The deafening explosion, like billions of thunderbolts exploding simultaneously, instantly reverberated throughout the entire primordial world!

Wherever the sound waves passed, Mount Buzhou trembled violently, rocks crumbled, and the earth's veins surged!

The starlight of the Zhou Tian Star Array swayed!

The Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons also fluctuated violently!

Only in the center of the battlefield.

The point where the fist collides with the barrier.

The void was completely annihilated, transforming into a deep and boundless black hole!

Within the black hole, chaotic currents roared wildly, and fragments of laws scattered like sharp blades, tearing apart and devouring everything around them!

"Click...click..."

A subtle yet distinct cracking sound came from above the barrier.

Yuanshi's pupils suddenly contracted!

He stared intently at the Heavenly Dao barrier blocking his way, his face revealing disbelief and horror for the first time!

On the barrier, at the point where Xuan Du's fist collided...

It was already covered with fine cracks!

Although the cracks have not yet spread, the barrier has not completely collapsed.

But... how is this possible?!

The Heavenly Barrier is an evolution of the sages using the authority of the Heavenly Dao, containing the laws of the primordial order, and cannot be broken by anyone but a sage!

Xuandu was only at the second level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm. Even though his martial arts were powerful, he ultimately did not gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao and did not hold the authority of a saint!

What makes him... capable of shaking the barrier of Heaven's Dao?!

Just now.

"Click..."

The cracks on the Heavenly Barrier spread rapidly.

Although it did not completely shatter, the fine, piercing cracking sound reverberated like thunder in the hearts of every living being!

"This...this is impossible!"

Dijiang stared intently at the center of the battlefield, his eyes filled with shock that was almost tangible.

That's the barrier of Heaven!

Sages evolve with the authority of Heaven, containing the laws of primordial order, an absolute defense that cannot be broken by anyone but sages!

But Xuandu...

With just one punch!

With only the true essence of martial arts at the second level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm!

It almost broke?!

"Just how powerful is the Vice Leader?!"

The clash of Xing Tian's axe and shield produced a piercing metallic sound, yet the sound carried an uncontrollable tremor.

It was excitement, but even more so, it was awe!

Nine Phoenixes stood in the center of the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons, their aura of fire and earth slightly disordered due to excitement.

The faint primordial spirit power deep within her Purple Mansion surged wildly, trying to see the supreme Daoist essence contained in that punch.

But what she saw...

There is only a vast, star-like, and domineering martial arts essence, as chaotic as the creation of the world!

"Martial arts...can they really be this powerful?"

Jiufeng murmured softly, her eyes filled with a mixture of clarity and fervor.

......

Deep within the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi stood side by side, their faces ashen.

"Big brother..."

Donghuang Taiyi's voice was hoarse:

"If that punch... were to land on me..."

The Chaos Bell in his palm hummed softly, and the speed at which the illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars on the bell rotated seemed to slow down slightly.

Xuan Du's punch just now seemed simple.

However, the true essence of martial arts contained within it has already touched upon the fundamental nature of the Primordial Dao!

That was pure power!

Prove your path through force, the power that is uniquely mine!

Donghuang Taiyi thought to himself, even with the Chaos Bell protecting him, even with the Zhou Tian Star Array's support...

Even taking that punch head-on would result in serious injury!

Even... death!

"Yuanshi...cannot be stopped."

Di Jun spoke slowly, the true fire of the sun flickering in his eyes.

He saw it more clearly.

Xuandu's punch did not completely shatter the barrier of the Heavenly Dao.

However, the true essence of martial arts contained within the fist had already penetrated the barrier and shaken the foundation of the sage in the beginning!

The originally flawless and perfect Jade Purity Immortal Light surrounding Yuanshi was now slightly disordered.

Although the degree of disorder is extremely slight.

But for a sage... this is already a flaw!

"Everyone..."

In the center of the battlefield, Yuanshi slowly spoke.

His voice remained indifferent, but deep within that indifference lay a barely perceptible hint of... urgency.

He stared intently at Xuandu, his eyes flashing with a celestial light as he tried to deduce a way to break the deadlock.

The deducible result...

It terrified him!

The martial arts of Xuandu have become a unique system, with the primordial Daoist rhyme and the origin of the Chaos Pearl blending together, further enhanced by the immense fortune of the human race and the Jie Sect.

Its foundation is so solid, its combat power so formidable...

It has far surpassed the ordinary second level of the Primordial Chaos Realm!

He alone cannot take it down in a short time!

"We can't delay any longer..."

The Primordial One whispered in his heart.

He slowly raised his eyes and looked up at the dark, high place.

Beyond the Zhou Tian Star Array, deep within the void.

Four faint, almost imperceptible auras of sainthood were quietly lurking beneath the surface.

Lao Tzu, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti!

The Four Sages have arrived!

He only needs to give the order to strike swiftly and decisively, setting up the Five Saints Killing Formation to completely wipe out Xuandu!

Can......

Yuan Shi's gaze narrowed slightly.

Only by joining forces, the five saints could conceal the secrets of heaven and isolate themselves from the outside world, thus deceiving the all-seeing eyes of the Heavenly Emperor.

But this kind of cover-up can't last long.

Although Tongtian was on Jin'ao Island at the moment, the Zhuxian Sword Formation was fully activated, intimidating all directions.

However, his protectiveness towards Xuandu was known throughout the prehistoric world.

If the commotion here is too great, if the deadly situation lasts too long...

The heavens will surely sense this and come across the sea!

When the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation descends, the Five Saints' Killing Scheme... will be thwarted!

"We must finish this quickly!"

A cold glint flashed in Yuanshi's eyes, and he no longer hesitated.

He suddenly looked up, gazing into the depths of the void, and said:

"Gentlemen...why aren't you making a move?!"
