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

Chapter 358 A Saint Falls, Heaven and Earth Grieve!

Despite his injuries, the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader shone even brighter, like a series of dazzling stars!

Zhunti knew the true strength of Tongtian Jiaozhu. The reason he was able to injure Tongtian Jiaozhu was entirely due to the help of the three saints in front of him.

Otherwise, relying solely on him, he probably wouldn't be able to harm even a hair on the head of the Tongtian Cult.

Therefore, after successfully striking, Zhunti did not urge the Seven Wonders Tree to continue the attack, but instead retreated sharply.

The four saints stepped aside, their eyes coldly fixed on the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Tongtian, stop this pointless resistance!"

"Tongtian, your power is gone. Surrender now!"

"Tongtian, the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals will surely be broken today!"

"Tongtian, if you don't want all your disciples to end up on the Investiture of the Gods list, then stop here."

The four sages spoke at the same time, their Daoist essence surging, their momentum immense, and their power sharp and intimidating!

Not far ahead of the four, the Tongtian Sect Leader was suddenly taken aback. The solemnity on his face gradually dissipated, and he actually laughed.

"What are you laughing at!"

The four saints took a step forward together, seemingly about to encircle the Tongtian Sect Leader.

In the current battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Four Saints' camp has gained a significant advantage.

However, their opponent was none other than the Tongtian Sect Master, who possessed the strongest fighting power among saints, so even now, they dared not relax at all.

If the Tongtian Cult Leader were to disregard everything and launch a desperate counterattack, the situation would be extremely dire.

"Do you know why my eldest disciple hasn't shown up since the Battle of Tong Pass?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly said something that left the Four Sages somewhat bewildered!

Taiqing frowned, then suddenly pinched his fingertips together and began to calculate!

However, with the celestial mechanisms in disarray, everything is shrouded in mystery, and even the sage Taiqing, with his profound understanding, cannot see any results.

Zhunti sneered, "Zhao Gongming? That fellow is probably a coward who is afraid of death and is hiding in his own cave to take refuge. Little does he know that the great Jie Sect will cease to exist after today's battle."

Yuanshi's expression was even colder than Zhunti's. "Tongtian, you know very well that this is a holy war. No matter how strong your disciple is, without attaining enlightenment, he will ultimately be nothing but an ant."

"But what if one has attained enlightenment?"

The Master of Heaven's expression suddenly relaxed, and he shook his head and smiled at the Four Saints.

"You've attained enlightenment? What does that mean?"

The saints were stunned for a moment, and then they heard an extremely miserable scream!

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

"Junior brother!"

Then, we heard the voice of the guiding saint, filled with concern and worry!

Everyone immediately looked at Zhunti.

Suddenly, a figure flew out from behind Zhunti!

He held a heavy, black ruler and swung it across Zhunti's back.

Even though Zhunti is known as the weakest sage, a sage is still a sage!

Having cultivated the Primordial Undying Body, one is impervious to all laws and untouched by any fruits. Below the level of a sage, no one can harm one in the slightest!

But even this incredibly powerful Primordial Undying Body collapsed inch by inch under the scouring of the endless destructive energy on that foot's body!

The ruler pierced through Zhunti's body almost instantly!

Zhunti looked down in astonishment, and when he saw the pitch-black ruler, he was completely stunned!

The next second, the black ruler suddenly spun, unleashing boundless destructive power that completely engulfed Zhunti!

A sage has fallen, and heaven and earth grieve!

A profound sorrow arose in the hearts of hundreds of millions of living beings, especially those in the West!

Hot tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of their eyes.

"Uncle-Master."

Countless Western disciples cried out, clutching their chests, in so much pain they could barely breathe.

The saints' faces turned ashen. Their Dao hearts, which had remained calm for countless millennia, were suddenly stirred up by a monstrous wave, and they were completely stunned on the spot!

Outside the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, countless primordial spirits descended upon this place, ancient and powerful beings observing the battle from the shadows through the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals.

All that could be seen within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was that among the five figures, one supreme figure that reached the heavens and the earth suddenly collapsed and dissipated into countless wisps of dust.

Then, an uncontrollable sadness welled up in my heart.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Outside the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, in every corner of the primordial land, muffled thunder suddenly resounded in the sky.

After the rumble of thunder, a torrential downpour of blood rained down, endlessly.

"This means... a saint has fallen!"

"A sage, enduring countless eons without being eroded, untainted by karma, eternally existing with Heaven, coexisting with the Dao—how could he possibly perish!"

"Judging from this situation, it seems that one of the two Western Saints has fallen. Could it be Saint Zhunti?"

Countless powerful beings in the primordial world whispered among themselves, their faces filled with shock!

The fall of a sage is an unprecedented event in the primordial world.

Inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Zhao Gongming, having landed a successful blow, did not linger.

He flashed to the side of the Tongtian Sect Leader and nodded to him with a smile.

"Master, I'm not too late, am I?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader didn't speak, but patted Zhao Gongming on the shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes filled with complex emotions!

Once upon a time, one of my disciples came from afar to become his disciple. At that time, he was just a minor immortal.

But right now, he has already traveled a distance even further than him on the road!

He could clearly sense that Zhao Gongming's aura had completely changed!

That is the true power of the Primordial Laws, a power of the same rank as the power of the Heavenly Dao!

The master and disciple had spent countless millennia together, and their relationship was more like that of father and son than master and disciple!

"Not too late, not too late. Today, you and I, master and disciple, will seriously compete with them and let them see what a glimmer of hope is, and what the will of Heaven is!"

"good!"

Zhao Gongming and Tongtian Jiaozhu stood side by side, their bodies surrounded by sword energy, their fighting spirit soaring to the sky!

"Zhao Gongming!! How could you be so cruel to your fellow disciple!"

Jieyin glared angrily at Zhao Gongming, his eyes like knives, wishing he could tear Zhao Gongming into a thousand or eight hundred pieces!

"You have actually attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal."

Yuanshi and Taiqing were extremely surprised.

All sages are insightful and naturally know the three paths to sainthood.

The Way is proven by laws, by severing the three corpses, and by accumulating merit!

After the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Western spiritual veins were shattered and the primordial source of the Dao was damaged, so no one could walk the path of the laws anymore.

The remaining path of severing the three corpses is also a dead end.

The saints had no choice but to take the path of achieving sainthood through accumulating merit.

Although achieving sainthood through meritorious deeds does involve the word "saint," it ultimately does not grant true freedom and liberation.

That's why Zhao Gongming's Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level shocked all the saints so much!

At this moment, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged in the heavens, projecting a beam of white light that fell into the Myriad Immortals Formation!

Within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, a white light flashed.

A dense aura of Heavenly Dao spread out, and after it dissipated, Zhunti's figure reappeared.

However, his face was frighteningly gloomy, and his aura had also weakened considerably compared to before.

The reason why a Heavenly Sage is called a Heavenly Sage is because his primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Way and he is one with the Heavenly Way!

As long as the primordial Heavenly Dao still exists, sages will not truly perish and can be reborn countless times with the help of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Of course, every resurrection comes at a price, just like Zhunti's current situation.
