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

Almost simultaneously.

"boom!!!"

The protective array of Jade Void Palace trembled violently!

A golden light descended from the sky and slammed into the light barrier of the mountain-protecting formation!

"Snap!"

The light barrier shattered instantly, revealing a crack hundreds of feet long!

"Enemy attack!!!"

The alarm bells continue to ring, echoing throughout Kunlun!

Countless disciples of the Jade Void Palace rushed out from their various caves, looking up at the sky in panic.

In the void, eight figures stood proudly.

The leader, dressed in a golden robe and Taoist crown, holding a pagoda, was none other than the Taoist Duobao!

Behind him, Wuyun Xian, Qiushou Xian, Jinguang Xian, and Lingya Xian revealed their true forms, their demonic aura soaring to the sky!

Zhao Gongming was surrounded by twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which emitted a faint blue light!

The Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao stood side by side, each holding the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, the Golden Dragon Scissors, and the Wind Bag, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent!

"Duobao of the Jie Sect, acting on the orders of the Vice Leader, has come to pay homage!"

Duobao's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout Kunlun:

"Summon the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, come forth and face your deaths!"

After the words were spoken, Yuxu Palace fell into a deathly silence.

All the disciples were stunned.

Duobao... has he stormed Kunlun?

Are the Twelve Golden Immortals going to come out and die?

crazy!

The Jie Sect has gone mad!

"presumptuous!!!"

A furious shout came from the main hall.

The Antarctic Immortal emerged from the clouds, holding a whisk, his face ashen.

"Duobao! How dare you trespass into Jade Void Palace and spout such arrogant words!"

"Does the Chan sect really think there's no one to teach me?!"

Duobao's gaze swept over the Antarctic Immortal, and he said calmly:

"Antarctica, this is none of your business."

"I only want the Twelve Golden Immortals."

"Hand them over, and I will leave immediately."

"otherwise......"

The pagoda in Duobao's hand slowly rose, radiating boundless golden light:

"Then I'll go in myself and take their lives."

"Arrogant!"

Yun Zhongzi also flew out of the hall, holding the Demon-Revealing Mirror, glaring angrily:

"Duobao! Do you think you can run wild in Jade Void Palace with just a few of you?!"

"Although Master is under house arrest, our Grand Master Uncle is still alive!"

"If you dare to make a move, you will be making an enemy of the entire Xuanmen!"

Upon hearing this, Duobao smiled.

His smile was cold, carrying undisguised sarcasm:

"The Mystic Sect?"

"What a profound mystery!"

He raised his hand and pointed deep into the Jade Void Palace, his voice suddenly rising in pitch:

"When the Twelve Golden Immortals formed an array to besiege and kill my disciples at Chuanyun Pass, did they ever think of the bonds of friendship within the Xuanmen sect?"

"When Guang Chengzi burned his own essence to break through the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, did he ever think of the bonds between his fellow disciples?"

"Now that our Jie Sect has come to collect its debt, you've finally remembered the Xuanmen Sect?"

"Too late!"

With the last word uttered, Duobao said no more.

"kill!"

At his command, the seven men behind him attacked simultaneously!

Wu Yunxian manifested his true form as a golden-bearded turtle, opened his mouth and inhaled, devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into a monstrous wave that swept towards the Jade Void Palace!

The roar of the dragon-headed immortal lion shook the heavens, the sound waves materializing and tearing through the void!

Jin Guangxian and Lingya Xian each wielded their magical treasures; the golden light was like a sword, and the spiritual teeth were like a spear, as they pierced towards the mountain-protecting formation with a thunderous roar!

Zhao Gongming unleashed all twenty-four Dinghai Pearls, which transformed into twenty-four blue meteors that crashed down fiercely!

The Three Immortals showed no mercy.

Yunxiao unleashed the Primordial Golden Cauldron, its nine-colored light pouring down, intending to diminish the cultivation of the Jade Void Palace disciples!

The Golden Dragon Scissors of the Jade Sky transformed into two ancient dragons, which descended in a crisscrossing manner, their fierce aura locking down the Antarctic Immortal and Yun Zhongzi!

The Azure Cloud Wind Bag unfolded, and the Samadhi Divine Wind roared out, sending sand and stones flying and changing the color of the sky and earth!

The combined power of the eight is earth-shattering!

Although the Jade Void Palace's protective array is strong, it is ultimately unattended. How can it withstand the full-force bombardment of eight Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Peak cultivators?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The burst of light trembled violently, and cracks spread rapidly!

"Stop them!"

The Antarctic Immortal roared angrily, summoning the Longevity Sword, its light like a rainbow, as it slashed towards Duobao.

Yun Zhongzi also activated the Demon-Illuminating Mirror, its divine light sweeping towards Wu Yunxian and the others.

Other second- and third-generation disciples of Jade Void Palace took action, unleashing their magical treasures and supernatural powers in an attempt to stop them.

However, the gap is too large.

These eight members of the Jie Sect were all seasoned veterans, and the magical treasures they possessed were all at the level of innate spiritual treasures.

On the Jade Void Palace side, all twelve Golden Immortals were crippled, and Burning Lamp was seriously injured. Only a few early-stage Quasi-Saints, such as Antarctic Immortal and Cloud Master, remained. How could they possibly be a match for them?

"puff!"

In a single exchange, several third-generation disciples of Jade Void Palace were cut in half at the waist by the Golden Dragon Scissors, their true spirits flying towards the Investiture of the Gods!

"No!"

The Old Man of the South Pole was furious and wanted to help, but he was held back by Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Yun Zhongzi fared even worse. He was struck by the Hunyuan Golden Divine Light, causing his cultivation to plummet from the early stage of Quasi-Saint to the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

"Duobao! Are you really going to wipe us all out?!"

The Antarctic Immortal roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot.

Duobao's expression was indifferent as he slammed down the Duobao Pagoda in his hand:

"It was your Chan Sect... who struck first!"

"Today, the Twelve Golden Immortals must be included on the list!"

"No one can stop it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Pagoda of Many Treasures burst forth with boundless golden light, transforming into a colossal tower ten thousand feet tall, which fiercely suppressed the depths of the Jade Void Palace!

That place is the cave where the Twelve Golden Immortals secluded themselves to heal their injuries!

"stop!!!"

Just now.

A detached voice came from the main hall.

Lao Tzu has finally made his move.

The Tai Chi diagram flew out from the hall, transforming into a golden bridge that stretched across the heavens and earth, blocking the way in front of the Pagoda of Many Treasures.

The flow of Yin and Yang energies held the Pagoda aloft, preventing it from falling.

"Nephew Duobao."

Lao Tzu emerged from the clouds, his expression calm, yet his eyes as deep and unfathomable as an abyss:

"Forgive others when you can."

"The Twelve Golden Immortals have already lost all their cultivation and their foundations are damaged. Why must they be exterminated?"

Duobao felt a chill run down his spine.

Lao Tzu did indeed make a move.

But he was prepared.

"Master Uncle."

Duobao retrieved the Duobao Pagoda, bowed respectfully, but his tone remained unyielding:

"It's not that I'm heartless, but rather that this is the nature of this eon."

"The Investiture of the Gods list needs to be filled with divine positions. If the disciples of the Chan Sect are not on the list, then the disciples of my Jie Sect will have to fill them."

"As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, I have no choice but to seek a way out for my fellow disciples."

"Please understand, Master Uncle."

Lao Tzu remained silent.

He naturally understood that what Duobao said was true.

The Investiture of the Gods was a cleansing of the Heavenly Dao, and the names on the list had to be filled.

If the Chan Sect doesn't fill in the blanks, the Jie Sect will have to fill in even more.

At that time, the fortunes of the Jie Sect will be greatly damaged, and its lineage may be severed.

Although Duobao's actions were ruthless, they were for the survival of the Jie Sect.

"even so......"

Lao Tzu slowly opened his mouth:

"We shouldn't have stormed Jade Void Palace and slaughtered everyone."

Have you considered the consequences?

Duobao raised his head and looked directly at Laozi:

"I have thought about it."

"But, in the great calamity, it will be either you or me who dies."

"If we retreat today, the Chan Sect will surely retaliate when it recovers its strength."

"Instead of waiting, it's better to... strike first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous glint appeared in Duobao's eyes!

Without further hesitation, he activated the Pagoda of Many Treasures, bypassed the Taiji Diagram Golden Bridge, and once again smashed into the Twelve Golden Immortals' Cave!

"You dare!"

Laozi's face darkened, and he was about to do everything in his power to stop him.

suddenly!

A beam of chaotic divine light pierced through the sky and transformed into a light curtain, blocking Laozi's path!

Within the divine light, the illusory image of the Five Elements Great Dao flows and swirls, surpassing the Yin and Yang energies of the Taiji diagram!

"Fellow Daoist Laozi."

Kong Xuan's voice came from the void, calm and indifferent:

"Let the younger generation handle their own affairs."

"If you interfere, you will be... my enemy."

Lao Tzu paused, then looked up at the void.

From the direction of Golden Rooster Ridge, a pillar of chaotic light shot into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth.

Within the pillar of light, Kong Xuan sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, his gaze as sharp as lightning, traversing endless void to lock onto Kunlun!

He was there to keep things in order.

Also... a warning.
