Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 81 081 The Fall of the Two Saints

The golden Buddha condensed once more, and this time it was even more solid and its aura even more terrifying. It was not much different from a late-stage Quasi-Saint or even a perfected Great Power.

"Destroy them!"

In a fit of rage, the Medicine Master roared, and the golden Buddha shone with golden light, radiating an indescribable compassion.

Immediately afterwards, it raised its right hand and brought it down with a palm strike.

That seemingly ordinary palm strike stirred up extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth. Endless Buddhist light gathered above its head, contending with the murderous intent opposite.

When the Buddha's hand collided with the blood-red halberd, the terrifying aftershocks of the explosion suddenly spread outwards.

Upon seeing this, Wei Guang's expression changed, and he hurriedly summoned the Star Chart to protect all his companions within it, thus preventing those with weaker cultivation from being implicated.

However, while they were protected by Wei Guang's star map, the surrounding vegetation and even the earth were not so lucky.

On the earth, cracks spread outwards from the Buddha and the Demon, stretching for thousands of miles. Wherever the aftershocks passed, the vegetation was reduced to ashes.

The consequences of this collision between the two sides are no less than one-tenth of those caused by Rahu's self-destruction.

It seems like there's still a big gap, but you have to know that Luo Hou is at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

A few Grand Luo Immortals, leading some Taiyi Immortals and Golden Immortals, have already achieved something to be proud of.

"puff……"

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers were killed in a bloodbath, including Yu Yixian, Cao Bao, Xiao Sheng and others. Not only did the demon god dissipate, but even the boundless killing intent vanished.

The demon-slaying formation has thus been broken.

The Western Sect was in a similar situation. Not only did the Golden Light Array collapse, but the Pharmacist also fell into a coma, and many of the Western Sect disciples were in very poor condition.

"kill."

Wei Guang showed no mercy. As he gave the order, he grabbed the Measuring Ruler and unleashed a Star Annihilation strike. Wherever the sword energy passed, heads rolled and countless people died.

Wei Guang's sword strike officially opened the curtain on the war. The Three Ancestors, Xuandu, the disciples of the Chan Sect, and many disciples of the Jie Sect all charged toward Mount Sumeru.

Only the heavily damaged Dharma Protector Legion remained unmoved.

Whether in terms of quantity, quality, or state, the Western religion was inferior in every way. How could it possibly withstand the charge of Wei Guang's forces?

Despite their desperate resistance, they were unable to change the overall situation.

In just a dozen breaths, more than one-fifth of the Western Sect had been killed or wounded. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the Western Sect was destroyed.

Wei Guang never made a move again after that sword strike.

It wasn't that he had softened his heart, but rather that he hadn't seen Randeng, the only quasi-saint of the Western religion, from beginning to end, so he had to be wary.

"What's going on? Did Ran Deng run away without a fight?"

Seeing that the Western Sect had suffered more than half its casualties, yet still no sign of Randeng, Wei Guang couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Was that guy really that cowardly?

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, blood rained down from the sky, the primordial world trembled, and Wei Guang inexplicably shed tears.

Without even needing to guess, Wei Guang already knew what had happened. Heaven, earth, people, and even the entire prehistoric world were filled with a sense of desolation.

Heaven and earth grieve together, for a sage has fallen.

Subconsciously, Wei Guang's gaze pierced through the void, looking into the chaos.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately just a Great Luo Golden Immortal. He could see the interior of the prehistoric world, but he was far from being able to penetrate the prehistoric world at a glance and see into the chaos.

Not only Wei Guang, but all living beings in the primordial world felt something at this moment and knew what had happened.

Even the disciples of the three religions, who were originally fighting fiercely, subconsciously stopped. Taking this opportunity, the disciples of the Western Religion also gathered together.

They, too, gazed into the chaos.

Although it was unclear, it was known that a saint of their Western religion had fallen, but whether it was Jieyin or Zhunti who had fallen was unknown.

Many creatures from the primordial world, unaware of the true situation, developed intense doubts.

What on earth did these two Western Saints do to provoke the Three Pure Ones to kill them?

The disciples of the Western Sect were filled with disbelief.

Even saints can fall.

If one is killed, another will follow. If the last one is killed by the Three Pure Ones and others, what will become of the Western Sect?

"Rumble..."

As if in response to their prayers, the primordial world trembled once more, and blood rain fell from the heavens again, leaving all the beings of the primordial world stunned.

More saints have fallen, and most of them are Western saints.

In that case, wouldn't Western religion exist in name only?

"You've vented your anger enough, let's back down."

Just then, a voice from Tongtian echoed in Wei Guang's mind.

Wei Guang didn't think much of it. He came here simply to vent his anger. He couldn't possibly destroy the Western Sect, otherwise it would be an irreconcilable feud.

He glanced sideways at the Western Sect disciples who had retreated to the mountainside.

Within half an hour of the battle, more than half of the Western Sect disciples had been killed or wounded. Leaving aside the ordinary disciples, even the senior disciple of the Western Sect, the Pharmacist, had died in the battle.

There was nothing that could be done; he had fallen into a coma.

Wei Guang's sword strike was too fast; the others had no time to come to his aid and could only watch helplessly as he died under Wei Guang's sword.

When Wei Guang looked over, the disciples of the Western Sect looked around nervously, some glancing around randomly, others looking down, none daring to meet his gaze.

Even if they harbor hatred in their hearts, they dare not show it at all.

After all, both leaders are dead. What use is it if they harbor hatred in their hearts?

"withdraw."

At Wei Guang's command, they headed towards Jin'ao Island. The others glanced back at Dizang and the others before retreating one after another.

It's impossible to exterminate them all.

Ordinary people may not know this, but those who are close to the three religions know it clearly: the Way of Heaven is immortal and the sages are immortal. The two Western sages may seem to have fallen, but their return is only a matter of time.

After Wei Guang and the others left, many of the Western Sect's disciples couldn't help but look at Ksitigarbha and his direct disciples.

It's as if they're asking, "What do we do next?"

"As long as the Way of Heaven endures and the Sages live on, our Master and Uncle-Master will return sooner or later. From now on, we will close the mountain and go into seclusion to cultivate diligently until our Master and Uncle-Master return."

Maitreya immediately stepped forward to reassure the troops.

This news isn't exactly a secret, so there's nothing wrong with telling everyone. We can't just keep quiet and let everyone go their separate ways, can we? When Master and Uncle-Master return, they'll be furious.

Upon hearing that the two who were being guided were not actually dead, a sense of relief finally appeared on everyone's faces.

Subsequently, led by Maitreya and others, the disciples of the Western Sect began to clean up the remains of the deceased disciples, including the pharmacist, before reactivating the mountain-protecting formation.

However, this time it was not for fighting enemies, but for sealing off the mountain and hiding the entire Mount Sumeru.
