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

Chapter 79 A lose-lose situation, one against two

Both sages had reservations. Yuanshi Tianzun's auspicious clouds of the heavens could not defend against Zhen Yuanzi's god-killing spear, and similarly, Zhen Yuanzi's earth book could hardly completely block Pangu's banner.

This Pangu Banner is indeed the most powerful offensive item among all the innate treasures. It is formed from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Axe, making it truly terrifying.

However, as time passed, Yuanshi Tianzun could no longer restrain himself and, despite the risk of injury, launched a full-scale attack.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun was like this, Zhen Yuanzi naturally became ruthless and fought Yuanshi Tianzun head-on.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun almost completely abandoned his defense, only swinging the Pangu Banner in his hand and shaking it fiercely at Zhen Yuanzi.

In an instant, countless chaotic energies surged towards Zhen Yuanzi.

Above Zhen Yuanzi's head, auspicious clouds appeared, and on the auspicious clouds stood three avatars, who activated the Earth Book to defend themselves.

In just a moment, the Earth Book was attacked and dimmed. Zhen Yuanzi groaned, but was hit by several streams of chaotic energy.

Blood splattered everywhere. Even though Zhen Yuanzi had profound cultivation, surpassing even Yuanshi Tianzun, he was still seriously injured.

Almost simultaneously, Yuanshi Tianzun also let out a muffled groan as Zhen Yuanzi's God-Slaying Spear pierced him.

The terrifying destructive power of the God-Slaying Spear against the primordial spirit was finally revealed at this moment.

Yuanshi Tianzun staggered backward, but his injuries were even more severe than those of Zhen Yuanzi.

In this single round, the two saints fought to the point of mutual destruction, and if they had not been saints, they would have been dead by now.

Even a Grand Luo Immortal could not withstand such an attack!

Zhen Yuanzi's body swayed slightly. The God-Slaying Spear was specifically designed to injure the primordial spirit, and the Pangu Banner, formed from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Axe, was equally terrifying, severely injuring him as well.

Both of them were pale-faced, staring at each other for a moment. Then, Yuanshi Tianzun put away the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, and turned to leave.

Zhen Yuanzi saw this but didn't stop him, letting him leave the formation. He then sat down cross-legged on the spot, and with a flash in his hand, a flower appeared.

This flower was exactly the same as the World Flower that Hongyun had given to Fuxi; it was the other one of the two World Flowers that grew from the Jianmu tree.

One red cloud was given to Fuxi, and the other to Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi put the World Flower directly into his mouth, swallowed and refined it, and his complexion quickly became rosy.

However, in a short period of time, he quickly recovered from his injuries and regained his strength so that he could help Hongyun.

Meanwhile, within the Innate Five Elements Grand Array, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, were directly trapped and naturally did not need to be bothered.

Yuanshi Tianzun was stopped by Zhen Yuanzi, and the two fought a great battle. After both were severely injured, Yuanshi Tianzun chose to retreat.

Besides these, there were also two other saints, Taiqing Saint and Tongtian Sect Master, who were to be resisted by Hongyun alone.

The simple innate wood element formation and the innate fire element formation were no match for the two.

Therefore, after the two entered the formation, they passed through the East Gate and the South Gate and then saw Hongyun.

"Junior brother, it's not too late for you to stop now," said Laozi, the Sage of Taiqing, upon seeing Hongyun.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also said, "Junior Brother, this battle is not the same as the previous struggle for the treasures to prove our Dao. My senior brother and I both have supreme treasures. How can you, alone, withstand us? You should give up."

"give up?"

Hongyun sneered, and two lotus platforms suddenly appeared beneath her feet. One was a twelve-petaled white lotus that purifies the world, and the other was a twelve-petaled black lotus that destroys the world.

The two lotus platforms rotated in opposite directions, and suddenly, with a click, they came together.

The two lotus platforms were combined into one, which became a lotus platform with twenty-four tiers.

Moreover, the color has changed; black and white are mixed together, becoming a color that is neither quite black nor quite white.

The sage Laozi immediately discerned the mystery, knowing that Hongyun had withdrawn the Yin-Yang Divine Light, which temporarily merged the two lotus platforms into one, greatly increasing their defensive power.

Thus, it rivals the innate supreme treasures. At this moment, the defensive power of this lotus platform is in no way inferior to Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book.

Moreover, not only that, a flash of light appeared between Hongyun's eyebrows, and several more magical treasures materialized.

The Creation Cauldron is still deep within the great formation, used by Hongyun to protect Houtu and allow her to safely cultivate her primordial spirit.

The magical treasures that appeared at this moment were all part of Hongyun's collection: the Primordial Measuring Ruler, the Qiankun Pearl, and the Hunyuan Gourd.

Upon seeing this, both the Sage of Taiqing and the Master of Tongtian couldn't help but become solemn, yet they both sensed the power of Hongyun's magical treasures.

The two secretly wondered, where did Hongyun, all alone, get so many treasures?

Yes, that's right. Apart from the Creation Cauldron, the Primordial Measuring Ruler, and the Five Primordial Five Elements Flags combined, which are also considered innate treasures, which they already knew about, there are other treasures as well.

That Qiankun Pearl was also a supreme innate treasure, radiating the powerful aura of a supreme innate treasure.

(Hongyun used the reward from the magic weapon upgrade card to upgrade the Qiankun Pearl into a supreme innate treasure, but I didn't write this part of the story. Just know that it's okay.)

Hongyun didn't answer the Grand Sage, but instead said to the Master of Heaven, "Third Senior Brother, everyone says you are a person of utmost sincerity and integrity, so how could you say such a thing?"

"Today, Hongyun is here to fight for his dear friend. This is to show that I have not forgotten my roots and my friendship. Although I am a saint, I have principles and things I will not do. My two senior brothers, you don't need to say anything more. Just come and attack. I may be alone, but what do I have to fear?"

The two sages looked at the treasures above and below Hongyun's head and feet, and couldn't help but twitch their lips. Looking at Hongyun's equipment, it seemed that there was really nothing to be afraid of.

The Sage of Taiqing said no more. He pointed his finger, and the Taiji diagram instantly transformed into a golden bridge, stretching for countless billions of miles, lying across the great formation, seemingly about to plunge straight into its depths.

However, Hongyun would not allow him to do so. The Qiankun Pearl shook violently, unleashing terrifying power that instantly shattered the golden bridge.

Then it slammed down hard on the Supreme Saint.

The Supreme Saint also has a supreme treasure protecting his head, which is his companion treasure, one of the two great treasures of merit, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

The Qiankun Pearl struck the pagoda, causing it to shake violently. The thick, dark yellow energy hanging down from the pagoda also swayed.

The exchange between the two caused the entire Innate Five Elements Formation to tremble.

Although the Sage Taiqing appeared old and frail, he was now radiating an incomparably terrifying aura of a sage.

Standing beneath the magnificent Heaven and Earth Pagoda, it felt as if one were on a vast, stormy sea.

Although it is just one person, and though it is insignificant, it has a feeling of eternal stillness and unparalleled peace.

Although the Qiankun Pearl was powerful, it could not harm him in the slightest.

However, Taiqing Saint's composure was soon shattered when Hongyun activated another supreme treasure.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler attacked, ignoring defense and obstruction, and instantly teleported into the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to attack the Supreme Saint.
