Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 338 Three months after the battle between the sages, the decisive battle at Tongguan begins!

"This is the power of a saint!"

Xuan Gui and the others were immediately startled, a chill running down their spines.

A sage endures countless eons without being diminished, remains untainted by cause and effect, is ever-present with Heaven, and coexists with the Dao. How formidable are the methods of a sage!

Xuan Gui never expected that the sage would be so unethical as to personally intervene in the battle.

Saints, being high above and not taking the initiative, naturally remain untouched by calamities.

However, if a sage were to personally intervene and actively participate in the Great Tribulation, the danger of the Great Tribulation would increase exponentially, even to the point of being uncontrollable!

Beside the Xuan Turtle, the three immortals, Sanxiao, and Yang Jian turned pale and flew towards the Xuan Turtle.

They have not yet attained quasi-sainthood; how could they possibly withstand a single blow from a saint?

"Mysterious Water Tortoise Shell!"

A thought flashed through the Xuan Turtle's mind, and in a flash, it summoned the Xuan Water Turtle Shell.

The gentle, azure light formed a massive barrier, enveloping the Three Immortals, Yang Jian, and the others.

At this moment, on Tongguan Pass, Kong Xuan's pupils contracted slightly.

"What a saint! So shameless, resorting to violence against juniors. I've certainly witnessed it."

Even Kong Xuan looked at Yuanshi with utter contempt at this moment.

One of the Three Pure Ones, a sage of the heavens, who calls himself the orthodox master of the Xuanmen, yet he does nothing but despicable things.

Now, to bully the weak in public and treat juniors like saints is simply setting a new low.

Kong Xuan pondered to himself, "The sage's strike, combined with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, shows how swift and powerful it is."

It would be difficult for the Xuan Turtle to hold out on its own.

In mid-air, a streak of light flashed, and a five-colored figure stood in mid-air.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!"

Kong Xuan, having reached the Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint realm, unleashed his full power, nearly reaching the limit of the Quasi-Saint realm, and activated his innate divine abilities.

Behind him, five colors of light—blue, yellow, red, black, and white—soared straight into the sky.

Five beams of light of different colors formed in mid-air.

The mere aura was enough to make even the quasi-saint cultivators like the Antarctic Immortal breathless.

"This is... a member of the Phoenix Clan!"

The Antarctic Immortal was also a veteran Quasi-Saint, one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace back then, so he naturally recognized Kong Xuan's identity.

But his face still showed disdain as he manipulated the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, constantly gathering momentum, and slowly and firmly pressed down on the Xuan Turtle and his group.

"Five-Colored Divine Light, whoosh!"

Under the pressure of the saint's might on the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Kong Xuanqiang felt his blood boiling and burning!

He activated his supernatural powers, and the five five-colored pillars of light behind him, reaching to the heavens and the earth, suddenly swirled together, transforming into a five-colored light wheel that struck the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Below the level of a sage, Kong Xuan was invincible, but he had never experienced the power of a sage.

In Antarctica, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the five-colored divine light and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi collided.

In an instant, a dazzling light erupted from him, and terrifying Dao essence transformed into an extremely powerful storm.

It sweeps in all directions, evolving into endless earth, fire, water, and wind.

The five-colored divine light that could brush away anything in ordinary times seemed to have encountered an ancient divine mountain, and began to crumble inch by inch.

He only lasted for a dozen breaths before the five-colored divine light shattered, Kong Xuan's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His breath suddenly became weak, but his eyes became even brighter and more dazzling.

"What! How is this possible!"

Burning Lamp, Antarctic Immortal, and White Lotus Child's pupils contracted, their faces filled with disbelief.

That was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure activated by the supreme power of a sage, yet Kong Xuan was only seriously injured.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Turtle, the rest is up to you."

Kong Xuan dodged and retreated to the side.

The five-colored divine light, though it did not stop the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, did block its unstoppable momentum.

Based on the Xuan Shui turtle shell, which has been nurtured by the Xuan Turtle for countless millennia, and the merits bestowed by the World Tree year after year, blocking the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi should not be a major problem.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan."

The Xuan Turtle nodded slightly to Kong Xuan, and suddenly a bright light shone from its shell, with billions of rays of azure divine light heading towards the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"boom!"

An even more explosive collision sound rang out, smoke filled the air, and the rampant Dao energy almost materialized, blotting out the sky and causing everyone to cover their eyes.

Before long, the smoke cleared, and a white light suddenly flew back into the hand of the Antarctic Immortal; it was the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Turning my head again, I saw several fine cracks on the shell of the Xuan Shui Turtle opposite me.

In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Holy Land, Yuanshi suddenly stood up.

He stood with his hands behind his back, wisps of Heavenly Tribulation Qi swirling around them, signifying that the Sage had already entered the Tribulation.

Suddenly, Yuanshi glanced coldly at Jin'ao Island, and an extremely intense killing intent surged from his body!

"The Intercepting Sect!!"

With a flash, Yuanshi shattered the void and left Kunlun Mountain.

On the other side, on Jin'ao Island, the gates of Biyou Palace, which had rarely been opened since the beginning of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, suddenly burst open.

Tongtian, dressed in a Taoist robe, slowly walked out of Jin'ao Island.

He gazed at the distant Kunlun Mountains, his eyes filled with disappointment.

The next moment, he tore through space and headed directly towards Tongguan.

At Tongguan, the atmosphere suddenly froze. Antarctica stood in the air, holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, looking distressed.

I thought that by using the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, I could achieve great merit, but I never expected this result.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi contains only the power of one person. What should be done now?

The Old Man of the South Pole was sweating profusely, but he couldn't think of a solution.

Guang Chengzi and the others are all direct disciples of the sage and pillars of the Chan Sect. If they are really listed on the list, how will he explain it to the sage?

Of course, the current Kunlun Golden Immortals, direct descendants of the West, have had their five vital energies in their chests and three flowers on their heads eliminated, making them no different from ordinary people.

The Xuan Turtle removed its Xuan Water Turtle Shell, and the three of them—Sanxiao and Yang Jian—stared intently at Guang Chengzi and his companions, creating a very delicate situation.

Just then, the void suddenly became heavy, and the space on the horizon split in two.

Yuanshi walked slowly out from within, his sage-like aura shaking the heavens and earth.

"It's a teacher!"

Guang Chengzi and the others immediately became excited!

Along with lighting the lamp, the Old Man of the South Pole also looked excited.

"The Primordial Sage!"

The black tortoise's name sank into Kong Xuan's heart. The attack that the sage had entrusted to the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was already difficult for them to handle.

The sage himself appeared; they could not possibly withstand him.

Yang Jian and the other two immediately became somewhat agitated, for they were referring to a sage.

The Three Immortals of Sanxiao noticed the emotions of Yang Jian and the other two, and gently comforted them, "Nephew, don't panic. Our Jie Sect also has sages, so don't worry."

The words of the Three Immortals were like warm sunshine, dispelling the gloom in the hearts of Yang Jian and the other two.

In the void, Yuanshi, with his hands behind his back, looked grim when he saw Yang Jian, whose three flowers on his head had been cut off and whose five qi in his chest had been eliminated!

His eyes flickered, coldly looking at Xuan Turtle, Kong Xuan, the Three Immortals, Yang Jian, and the others. The next moment, without warning, he raised his hand, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was summoned and suddenly appeared in Yuanshi's hand.

"You creatures born from moisture and eggs, covered in fur and horns, ignorant of the will of Heaven, defying Heaven's will, deserve to be on the Investiture of the Gods list. Today, I will lend you a hand and send you to the Investiture of the Gods list to cultivate."

The next moment, the power of the supreme innate spiritual treasure was restored, carrying the supreme holy power, and it fiercely struck the Xuan Turtle and the others.

"Yuanshi, back when we were at Guanjiang Estuary, you attacked my Jie Sect disciples. I let it go that way, but now you've done it again. Do you really think my Jie Sect is easy to bully?"

As the voice faded, a sharp sword light flashed through the void, violently knocking the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi away, returning it to Yuanshi's hand.

A large area of ​​space collapsed and shattered in mid-air. The Tongtian Sect Leader, dressed in green, slowly walked out, his sword aura soaring into the sky and enveloping Yuanshi.

When the sage took action, he stirred up the calamity energy of heaven and earth. Instantly, Taiqing Laozi, who was far away on Shouyang Mountain, Zhunti and Jieyin on Mount Sumeru, and Nuwa in Taisu Heaven all noticed it.

In the Sacred Land of Sumeru, Zhunti frowned, "Senior brother, Tongtian's strength has increased several times, making him difficult to deal with."

"What's the use if you're not strong enough to break through the limits? The destruction of the Jie Sect is already a foregone conclusion."

It doesn't matter what the guide is; the sages have already planned and killed the Jie Sect.

Even if Tongtian is incredibly powerful, can he really turn the world upside down?

Upon hearing this, Zhunti thought it made perfect sense. "Senior brother is right. Let's wait and see. It's a pity that the Jie Sect has accumulated so much fortune over millions of years with all the immortals coming to pay homage. We're going to divide it all up."

Thinking of the Jie Sect and the fortunes of the human race, Zhunti couldn't help but drool.

The West desperately needs this wave of good fortune and resources.

In the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, Taiqing stroked the Investiture of the Gods with both hands, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and sighed.

At the Tongguan battlefield, Yuanshi's face turned cold. "Tongtian, after cultivating for billions of years, is this how you speak to your senior brother?"

Tongtian scoffed, "Senior brother? Countless years ago, when the Three Pure Ones separated, I no longer had a senior brother like you. The Chan Sect is the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect is the Jie Sect. What difference does it make?"

"You idiot Tongtian, it seems the so-called 'Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jie Sect Paying Homage' has clouded your judgment. Since that's the case, then I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your teacher, so that you will understand that there is no good outcome for those who do not understand the will of Heaven and go against the will of Heaven."

Yuanshi was clearly enraged. As he spoke, the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure, appeared and disappeared behind him. Once it materialized, it caused an instant cataclysmic upheaval, with mountains and rivers roaring and the primordial world in turmoil.

Even Guang Chengzi and the others were secretly terrified. Of course, they weren't afraid that Yuanshi was no match for Tongtian.

Rather, they were worried that if Yuanshi acted rashly, they would be affected.

You must understand, they are no longer immortals; as mortals, even the slightest impact from the affliction would likely result in their death.

Tongtian couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Guangchengzi and saying, "Yes, what is the Chan Sect? It is the orthodox sect of Xuanmen, the legitimate lineage of Pangu, following the will of Heaven, expounding the Way of Heaven, and the lineage of the first sage in the world. But what has been the result? These are the disciples it has produced?"

"So easily defeated, his three flowers on the top of his head were cut off by three of my disciples, leaving him a cripple. My disciples of the Jie Sect are indeed ashamed of their inferiority."

Hearing Tongtian's undisguised mockery, Yuanshi was completely enraged. "Tongtian, how dare you!"

"You're the one who's being insolent!"

"Pangu Banner!"

"The Four Swords of Zhuxian!"

Almost simultaneously, the two saints each unleashed their innate treasures and flew to the heavens, their figures disappearing from sight. Although the two saints were not visible in mid-air, their overwhelming saintly might clearly indicated that Yuanshi and Tongtian had already begun their war.

The power of the saints descended, in wisps and strands, yet it felt as heavy as a divine mountain.

The pressure made the space creak and groan, and the earth, fire, water, and wind surged, as if even space itself was on the verge of annihilation.

This clearly shows that the power in the battle was still controlled by the Tongtian Sect Master, Yuanshi Tianzun.

Otherwise, the moment the Pangu Banner clashed with the Four Swords of Zhuxian, billions of miles of land would be reduced to nothingness.

"Teacher Ran Deng, Teacher Antarctic, our Master."

Guang Chengzi and the others turned pale and asked anxiously.

The Old Man of the South Pole said earnestly, "Don't worry, my teacher will be fine."

The Xuan Turtle, Kong Xuan, and the others were much more relaxed.

Xuan Turtle, in particular, as the vice leader of the Jie Sect, naturally knew where Tongtian Sect Leader had fallen to. Yuqing alone could not do anything to Tongtian Sect Leader.

Sure enough, after a dozen or so breaths, the holy might that had been surging in mid-air gradually dissipated.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the figures of Yuanshi and Tongtian reappeared in front of them.

Yuanshi stared at Tongtian Jiaozhu with icy eyes, his gaze filled with coldness.

"So you've got some powerful connections! Very well, your disciples have stripped my Chan Sect's direct disciple of the Three Flowers at the top of his head. Millions of years of arduous cultivation, all destroyed in an instant. What do you have to say about this?"

Tongtian glanced coldly at Guangchengzi and the others, and sneered.

"Back then, during a meeting at Zixiao Palace, it was said that which family's disciples would be on the list was entirely up to fate. Your Chan Sect's skills are inferior, so not sending them on the list is already a favor to them."

Tongtian's blunt retort made Yuanshi's expression even uglier.

I wanted to refute it, but I didn't know where to begin. Whose disciple made the list depended entirely on luck and fate.

Yuanshi exhaled a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time to fight Tongtian.

He said coldly, "Tongtian, if you have the ability, come back to Tongguan again in three months."

After saying that, he snorted coldly, waved his hand casually, and swept up the Burning Lamp. The Golden Immortals of Antarctica and Kunlun Mountain tore through the void and disappeared.

"Our Jie Sect acts uprightly and sits straight; what is there that we dare not do?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was not afraid and readily agreed.

After saying that, he turned to look at the Three Immortals, the coldness on his face dissipating and a smile appearing on his face.

"You are all very good. You have not disgraced your master, nor have you disgraced the Jie Sect."

The Three Immortals were somewhat uneasy. "Master, just now..."

Tongtian waved his hand and snorted coldly, "The disciples of the Chan Sect are inferior in skill, so they deserve to be on the list. Not sending them on the list is already a favor to them; they should be grateful."

The Three Immortals' expressions softened, and Tongtian said again, "The calamity energy is rising. You should all come back to Jin'ao Island with me for now. Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is here to oversee things, so there will be no problem."

"Yes, Master."

After Tongtian finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and left with Xuan Turtle, Sanxiao, and the others.

As for Kong Xuan, he stayed in Tongguan. He was originally a person who had reached the end of his life as a Quasi-Saint.

Having just unleashed the Five-Colored Divine Light and clashed with a sage, he was seriously injured, but he also gained some profound insights into certain mysteries, which presented him with a good opportunity to study them.

At Tongguan Pass, the Medicine Master, Maitreya, and the others looked pale, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.

"Teacher Bailian, is there any hope for us to recover?"

The four pharmacists almost burst into tears; they had grown up in the impoverished West.

Millions of years of arduous cultivation, resource conservation, and meticulous attention to every resource have led to my current level of expertise.
