Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 78 The Great War of Saints

"snort!"

Hongyun snorted coldly, raised his left hand, and emitted a five-colored divine light to block the seven-colored light. He also pointed with his right hand and emitted a four-colored light to block the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"Although my cultivation has been greatly damaged, I am not so easily defeated. Fellow disciples, let's enter the battle and fight!"

With a powerful tremor, Hongyun dispersed the seven-colored light and sent the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi flying back. Then, he retreated and entered the Innate Five Elements Grand Array.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi also entered the great formation.

The remaining five saints all looked solemn, for the great formation before them was indeed difficult to break.

However, the current situation forced them to go into the great formation. Otherwise, if they delayed and Houtu refined her primordial spirit, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal might actually emerge.

"Fellow disciples, we cannot delay any longer. This formation has five gates, and we five saints shall each choose one to break!"

Lao Tzu spoke.

This statement was agreed upon by the other four saints. Immediately, Zhunti couldn't resist and chose the North Gate among the five gates.

Then Jieyin chose the west gate. Yuanshi chose the middle gate, Tongtian entered through the east gate, and Laozi entered through the south gate.

The five saints entered the battle together.

First, let's talk about how Zhunti entered from the North Gate. The North Gate belongs to the Water element and is a Primordial Water Element Formation. However, because Hongyun has refined Yin and Yang and the Five Elements into the formation, it has been modified.

The power of this Innate Water Element Array has greatly increased. The five arrays contained in the Innate Five Elements Array can be reversed and complement each other, making its power many times greater than that of a single Innate Water Element Array.

Moreover, Zhunti was completely clean and had no protective treasures. As soon as he entered the formation, he saw endless waves surging in from all directions, and his expression immediately changed.

With a deep shout, a golden body appeared on the top of his head. This golden body had twenty-four heads and eighteen arms, holding various magical treasures such as necklaces, parasols, flower vases, fish intestines, blessed pestles, precious files, golden bells, golden bows, silver halberds, banners, lotus flowers, precious canopies, tokens, and alms bowls.

It was the Bodhi Golden Body that Zhunti had refined. The twenty-four heads of this Bodhi Golden Body roared in unison, their voices like thunderclaps in the sky. The eighteen arms moved in unison, and all kinds of magical treasures unleashed their power.

Zhunti unleashed his full power, momentarily blocking the innate water formation. However, as the formation activated, the five saints who entered through the portals, though each entered a separate formation, were subjected to the combined power of all five formations.

That's not the case. This innate Five Elements Grand Formation cannot be claimed to be able to fight against five at once and trap the Five Saints.

As mentioned before, Zhunti's strength was the weakest among all the saints, and he was just one step away from being knocked off his sainthood.

This is obviously not a good time.

Pressed down by the endless, terrifying power of this great formation, he let out another shout and threw the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand into the air.

However, it transformed into a giant Bodhi tree in mid-air. Only by combining the power of the Bodhi tree and the golden Bodhi body could it barely protect itself.

Even so, Zhunti was trapped in this innate water formation and could not escape.

Zhunti looked extremely frustrated.

Similar to Zhunti is Jieyin. Jieyin does have a treasure for self-defense, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, which is enough to protect him. Unfortunately, he does not have any magic weapons for attack, so he is also trapped in Ximen's Innate Metal Element Formation.

The innate metal element formation manifested countless weapons to attack Jieyin. Jieyin had no choice but to sit upright on the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit, and a precious banner appeared above his head. This banner was his treasure for proving his Dao, called the Jieyin Precious Banner.

The attacks of the Innate Metal Element Array were blocked by these two magic treasures, but even the Guide could not break the array and was stopped within it.

As for the central gate, this is the Primordial Earth Element Formation. The Primordial Celestial Venerable entered through this gate and entered the formation.

It is similar to the Innate Water Element Array and the Innate Metal Element Array.

Within this innate earth element formation, endless earth element power also evolves, boundless and profound.

Moreover, not only that, but there is also a sage presiding over this great formation, namely Zhen Yuanzi, who holds the Earth Book in one hand and the God-Slaying Spear in the other.

With auspicious clouds above his head and the ancient banner in his hand, Yuanshi Tianzun entered the great formation.

Originally, given his strength and the innate treasure he possessed, even the powerful innate earth element formation wouldn't have been able to trap him.

However, Zhen Yuanzi was present, and the Earth Book in his hand was something that Yuanshi Tianzun feared.

The two saints met.

Zhen Yuanzi bowed and said, "Second Senior Brother, Zhen Yuanzi has offended you."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable remained silent, but somehow he once again summoned the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which suddenly appeared above Zhen Yuanzi's head and slammed down hard.

Zhen Yuanzi laughed loudly, and the Earth Book in his hand flew up, blocking the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. At the same time, he released a powerful devouring force, trying to absorb the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi into the Earth Book.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi also emitted a golden, silver, and purple light, just like the color of the Three Lights Divine Water, but even more dazzling, rivaling the Earth Book.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Yuanshi Tianzun did not stop. He waved the Pangu Banner in his hand, emitting a chaotic aura that was sharp and piercing, and slashed at Zhen Yuanzi.

"Junior brother, the situation is urgent, I won't give you any time to stall," Yuanshi Tianzun finally spoke.

Zhen Yuanzi laughed loudly, thrusting out his God-Slaying Spear. With a hiss, the spear tip met the chaotic energy.

It tore apart the chaotic energy, reducing it to nothingness.

"Senior brother, there's no need for further explanation. I understand perfectly. However, to get through this formation, you must first defeat me."

Zhen Yuanzi was not afraid of Yuanshi Tianzun.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was also startled, and looked at the God-Slaying Spear in Zhen Yuanzi's hand with a solemn expression.

"It's been restored to a supreme innate treasure?"

A thought flashed through Yuanshi Tianzun's mind. He was naturally extremely wary of the God-Slaying Spear, but at this moment, no matter what, he had to fight.

And it's not just about fighting once, but about winning.

So what if it's a god-slaying spear? I have the Pangu Banner! Among all innate treasures, my Pangu Banner is the most powerful offensive weapon!

Upon realizing this, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer hesitated. He moved swiftly and attacked with the Pangu Banner!

One after another, streams of chaotic energy were continuously emitted. These chaotic energies were extremely condensed. When they were emitted, they were shaped like swords, with sharp edges that seemed capable of cutting through everything, and they continuously enveloped Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi also went all out in his battle against Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although his God-Slaying Spear has now been restored to a supreme innate treasure, in terms of attack power, it is no match for the Pangu Banner.

Only the special effect that can harm the primordial spirit of a saint can make the Primordial Heavenly Venerable wary.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not want to experience the pain of his primordial spirit being wounded by the God-Slaying Spear, so he mostly dodged it when faced with the spear.

Use the Pangu Banner to block.

As for the auspicious clouds above his head, they seemed somewhat useless at this point, as they couldn't defend against the God-Slaying Spear.
