Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

Jin'ao Island, side hall.

The river of spiritual energy flowed through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, transforming into a five-colored torrent that surged wildly into Kong Xuan's body.

The Chaos Demon God activated its full power, accepting all incoming spiritual energy and devouring and refining it.

Kong Xuan's Dao aura grew stronger and stronger, and the illusory Five Elements Great Dao River behind him began to slowly solidify!

"Now!"

With a thought, Kong Xuan's sublimated supernatural power was suddenly activated!

"sublimation!"

hum!

The side hall shook violently!

Chaotic divine light erupted from Kong Xuan's body, instantly engulfing the entire side hall.

Within that light, three thousand phantom images of demon gods seemed to float and sink, while the projection of the Great Dao River appeared and disappeared.

The perfected Five Elements Laws, propelled by the sublimation of supernatural powers, began to transform towards a higher level!

The five colors of light—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—intermingled and rotated, eventually transforming into a state of chaos.

From the chaos, a mysterious and unfathomable aura slowly emerged.

That is... the primordial aura of the Five Elements!

Although it was only a trace, it had already surpassed the level of laws and stood above the primordial heavenly way!

"It's done... the Five Elements Great Dao is complete!"

Kong Xuan was overjoyed.

He could sense that his control over the power of the five elements had undergone a qualitative change.

In the blink of an eye, one can create the Five Elements World and manipulate all things of the Five Elements in the primordial world.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are all playthings in his hands!

"Next... condense the Primordial Dao Fruit!"

Kong Xuan no longer hesitated and began to fully circulate his internal energy.

The immense magical power within his body began to transform, evolving from its original spiritual energy into a higher level of primordial power.

This process requires a massive amount of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already gathered the spiritual energy of the five elements from the primordial world, enough for him to squander!

Outside the side hall.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood in the center of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, surrounded by four swords, the formation diagram covering the sky.

His divine sense enveloped every inch of Jin'ao Island, constantly monitoring the movements inside the side hall.

When that wisp of the Five Elements Dao aura was born, the sword light in Tongtian's eyes surged.

"The aura of the Great Dao... it's truly formed!"

He was overwhelmed with excitement.

If Kong Xuan succeeds, the Jie Sect will possess a true Grand Luo Golden Immortal!

At that time, what is there to fear from the siege of the Four Saints?

However, at that very moment!

boom!

Outside Jin'ao Island, the void suddenly tore open!

Three vast and boundless auras of sainthood descended simultaneously!

In the east, the Primordial Celestial Venerable arrived riding a nine-dragon sandalwood chariot, his jade-pure celestial light spreading for thirty thousand miles.

In the West, the Holy One is guided to step on a golden lotus of twelve merits, bathed in Buddha's light and filled with the sounds of chanting.

In the north, Lao Tzu rode a green ox, with the Tai Chi symbol hanging above his head, and the two energies of Yin and Yang settling the earth, water, fire, and wind.

The arrival of the three saints together shook the world with their overwhelming power!

"Tongtian, stop now."

Lao Tzu's voice was calm, yet it echoed like a decree of Heaven outside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation:

"Kong Xuan defied the will of Heaven by forcefully proving the existence of Hunyuan, thus violating the taboos of the Heavenly Dao."

"If you insist on protecting him, you may suffer a backlash from Heaven."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable said coldly:

"Tongtian, you've exhausted the entire foundation of the Jie Sect for an outsider. Do you think you've lived up to your master's teachings?"

"If you don't activate your sword formation today, don't blame us for forcing our way in!"

The guiding saint clasped his hands together and said compassionately:

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, Kong Xuan has a karmic connection with my Western Paradise and should join my Buddhist sect to settle his karmic debts."

"If you insist on keeping us here, it may damage the foundation of the Jie Sect."

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Tongtian Sect Leader burst into loud laughter:

"What a magnificent sight to see three saints arrive together!"

"What a taboo of Heaven!"

His laughter abruptly stopped, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"I'll make my words clear right here and now!"

"Anyone who dares to set foot on Jin'ao Island will be struck by the Immortal-Slaying Sword, leaving no trace of their soul!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four swords of Zhuxian rang out in unison!

The Immortal Slayer Sword exudes a terrifying aura, the Immortal Trapping Sword creates numerous illusions, the Immortal Annihilation Sword extinguishes all life, and the Immortal Slaughtering Sword is unparalleled in its killing power!

The four swords intertwined, their sword energy like a vast sea, protecting the entire Golden Turtle Island completely.

The three saints outside the formation all had grim expressions.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages.

Now there are only three of them. Although they can suppress Tongtian, they are unable to break through the formation.

unless......

Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly raised his head and looked westward:

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, now that you've arrived, why hide yourself?"

The void ripples.

A figure emerged from the west; it was none other than the Sage Zhunti!

Despite being burdened by karma and his aura weakened, he still managed to withstand the pressure of a saint and arrive through the air.

"Tongtian, with the Four Sages gathered today, your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation... is doomed!"

Zhunti's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with boundless hatred.

The pupils of the Tongtian Cult Leader contracted slightly.

The Four Saints... are all here.

But his expression remained unchanged; instead, he burst into loud laughter:

"Excellent! What a wonderful gathering of the Four Saints!"

"Today, I will use the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to test my skills against you!"

With a thought, the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram was fully deployed.

"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, activate!"

Rumble!

Four sword gates opened from the void, standing in the east, west, south, and north respectively.

Behind each sword gate, there is a sword guarding it.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword guards the East. The Primordial Heavenly Lord's expression darkened, and he brandished the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. The Jade Purity Immortal Light crashed into the sword gate.

The Immortal Sword was used to suppress the West, and the Sage of Guidance unleashed the Azure Lotus Banner, where Buddhist light and sword energy clashed fiercely.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword guards the south. Although the Sage Zhunti is burdened by karma, he still grits his teeth and urges the empowered Pestle, where golden light and sword energy clash together.

The Immortal Execution Sword guards the north. Laozi remains calm, and the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotates. The Yin and Yang energies transform into a millstone, gradually eroding the Immortal Execution Sword's energy.

The four saints attacked together, causing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to tremble violently!

The Master of the Heavenly Sect stood at the eye of the formation, his expression solemn.

He fought against four opponents, and although he temporarily held his own thanks to the advantage of the sword formation, he could not sustain the fight for long.

"Kong Xuan... I can only buy you three days."

"If you cannot attain the Great Luo Primordial Dao within three days..."

"This is dangerous!"

......

Inside the side hall.

Kong Xuan seemed oblivious to the earth-shattering battle raging outside.

His entire mind was immersed in the condensation of the Primordial Dao Fruit.

The Five Elements Great Dao took root in the primordial spirit, resonating with the Chaos Demon God.

The magical power within his body surged like a vast ocean, and under the control of the Five Elements Dao, it was completely transformed into Primordial Chaos Power.

Time slips away, little by little.

A day has passed.

Kong Xuan's body was filled with a primordial aura that was so dense it was almost tangible.

Two days have passed.

More than half of the magical power within his body had been converted, and the rudimentary form of the Primordial Dao Fruit was gradually emerging.

The third day, at dusk.

Led by the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Xiqi army has broken through several lines of defense at Chuanyun Pass and is advancing directly towards the pass!

If it weren't for Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals, and others stopping them, it would probably have happened even faster.

Of course, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and Randeng also possessed the methods of a sage, which is why they were forced to retreat step by step.

Chuanyun Pass...is in grave danger!

Once Chuanyun Pass is breached, the Xiqi army can advance unimpeded and reach Jinji Ridge!

If Kong Xuan does not leave the pass by then, the Shang Dynasty's fortune will surely turn against it!

Outside Jin'ao Island, the Zhuxian Sword Formation has developed cracks under the siege of the Four Saints.

Blood trickled from the corner of the Tongtian Sect Leader's mouth, yet he still held fast to the core of the formation, refusing to retreat even a single step.

"Tongtian, you can't hold on any longer!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi crashed down.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Sect trembled violently, and 30% of its sword energy dissipated!

Tongtian let out a muffled groan, but the sword light in his eyes grew even sharper:

"Hmph! With me here, none of you will get through!"

Right now!

Inside the side hall, chaotic divine light shot into the sky!

An aura that surpassed even saints and transcended the Heavenly Dao erupted with a thunderous roar!

Kong Xuan, open your eyes.

Within his eyes, the five elements of the world are born and die, and the great river of the Great Dao flows on.

The Primordial Dao Fruit is complete!
