Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

After the power of Heaven disappeared, they breathed out a sigh of relief, and the pressure in their hearts dissipated.

Hongjun and the others were naturally aware of the changes in the primordial land and the decline of the myriad races.

But at this moment, they couldn't care less about anything else and flew straight towards the western land.

The great calamity of the Dragon and Phoenix clans has passed, but their own tribulations are not yet over. They must seize the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

In the primordial west, on Mount Sumeru.

Luo Hou sat on the throne in the main hall, absorbing the immense evil energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. Beside him, four fierce swords slowly rotated, emitting a ferocious sword aura.

After a long while, Luo Hou opened his eyes, a strange red light flashing in them before quickly fading away.

"Damn it, I was so close!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Luo Hou's eyes. As one of the protagonists of the tribulation, Heaven would not allow him to break through at will. He still needed to go through the tribulation.

"Now that you're here, don't cower like cowards, or I'll look down on you!"

Suddenly, Rahu's pupils contracted as he looked into the void outside the main hall and shouted coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Taoist appeared in mid-air; it was none other than Hongjun, who, along with Rahu, was a protagonist of the Great Tribulation.

"Luo Hou, you plotted and instigated a war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans for your own selfish reasons, causing the world to shatter and countless people to die. Your sins are grave."

"Today is the day you are beheaded!"

"That's right, how could we allow you to attain enlightenment, you fiend!" A loud shout came from the void, and the Qiankun Ancestor emerged from the Qiankun Cauldron atop his head.

"Fellow Daoist Qiankun is right. I, Ancestor Yangmei, will surely kill you, you fiend, today!"

Another loud shout rang out, and Ancestor Yangmei stepped forward, holding a willow branch in his hand.

"Haha, what you three fellow Daoists say is absolutely right, Rahu is doomed!" The Yin-Yang Ancestor stepped out from the void.

"Heh heh heh, a bunch of hypocritical scoundrels!"

"You think the four of you can kill me?"

"Hehehe, today I'll show you all how I slaughter the Dao and attain sainthood."

Rahu remained arrogant and demonic, summoning the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

"The Four Swords of Zhuxian, show yourselves!"

"Boom—!"

As soon as Luo Hou finished speaking, an ancient array diagram landed at his feet, covering the entire western part of the prehistoric world.

The four fierce swords, Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, and Juexian, flew to the four gates of the array diagram respectively.

"Buzz—!"

After the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was successfully set up, the vast negative energies of heaven and earth, including malevolent energy, fierce energy, dark energy, and demonic energy, instantly sealed off the entire western land of the prehistoric world.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is an unparalleled killing formation. Within the sword formation, there are profound and unpredictable changes, endless killing intent, and countless dangers. It is set up by a sage, and it cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages.

A surge of sword energy shot into the sky.

The entire West was instantly filled with a murderous aura.

A formation diagram appeared, accompanied by four gigantic swords exuding murderous intent. The evil energy generated by the great calamity in the entire prehistoric world was attracted by the sword formation.

In an instant, malevolent energy from the west surged into the heavens.

The sky was dark and the sun and moon were obscured. Within the great formation, spiritual energy was isolated, red light flickered, and the killing aura was terrifying. Demonic energy roamed freely. It truly deserved to be called the number one killing formation of the innate realm.

Rahu stood in the void, and within the sword formation were Hongjun and the other three, who were surrounded by the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Inside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Hongjun and the others stared solemnly at the great formation before them. They could feel the endless ferocity and terrifying power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. If they were not careful, they would also perish here.

"Fellow Daoists, I observe that this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is incomparably profound and contains boundless killing intent."

Hongjun said, "I observe that this formation has four gates. What Rahu said is probably true. It will be difficult to break the formation without four people of the same level."

Observing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation before him, Ancestor Hongjun frowned slightly and said with a solemn expression.

"Fortunately, there are four of us. How about each of us breaks one of the array gates?"

The other three frowned, knowing that what Ancestor Hongjun said was true, and that the formation was indeed as described.

The group rushed toward the four gates of the great formation.

Hongjun Ancestor rushed towards the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Gate, Yangmei Ancestor rushed towards the Immortal Trapping Formation Gate, Yinyang Ancestor rushed towards the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Gate, and Qiankun Ancestor rushed towards the Immortal Annihilation Formation Gate.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, slaying immortals and killing gods!"

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, four gleaming sword shadows rose up, each positioned at one of the four corners of the formation.

The four swords unleashed an endless killing intent.

This murderous aura exudes a power capable of slaying immortals and gods, plunging heaven and earth, and destroying all existence.

The chilling killing intent caused a layer of frost to gradually condense within the array, with black snowflakes fluttering everywhere.

The changes hadn't stopped when a huge rift suddenly tore open in the array, unleashing countless bolts of black lightning that seemed to transcend all living beings.

Upon seeing this, Hongjun's expression changed slightly; clearly, this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was more powerful than he had anticipated.

Black lightning struck the four sword pillars, and the lightning coalesced to form four black runes.

Slay! Frame! Kill! Annihilate!

The moment the runes were fully formed, the four ferocious swords let out a deafening roar, flashing with a pitch-black light, and their boundless killing intent formed a pillar of light that reached the sky and connected with the earth.

Four sword pillars support the heavens and the earth, sword energy soars, sword intent reaches the sky, and sword energy crisscrosses the void, tearing open crack after crack in the void.

Rahu summoned the Black Lotus of Annihilation to protect himself, and a strange black spear appeared in his hand.

The Black Lotus of Annihilation is one of the four great lotus platforms, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with unparalleled defense.

The spear was simple and unadorned, with a natural Daoist charm. It had no overwhelming killing intent, no unparalleled divine power, and no world-destroying Daoist techniques; it was just ordinary.

This spear is the innate supreme treasure transformed from the stem of the thirty-six-petaled Chaos Green Lotus—the God-Slaying Spear!

The God-Slaying Spear is specifically designed to destroy the primordial spirit. Its destructive power is astonishing and impossible to defend against. Even a saint can be injured by it, which shows how amazing the power of the God-Slaying Spear is.

"Heaven and Earth, prepare to die—!"

After the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation entangled the four, Luo Hou took out the God-Slaying Spear and charged towards the Qiankun Ancestor.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is not a method for prolonged battles.

Now that Hongjun and the other three have broken through the formation, although Luo Hou outwardly appears disdainful, he is already extremely wary inwardly.

By using the power of the sword formation to separate them, Rahu could attack them one by one and finally kill them.

"Heaven and Earth, prepare to die!"

Luo Hou, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, thrust it towards the Qiankun Ancestor of the Juexian Formation Sect, who was breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

The attack of the God-Slaying Spear was simple and unadorned.

The spear thrust out without making a sound; the God-Slaying Spear silently pierced through the void.

"A tripod that can stabilize heaven and earth!"

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth urged the Heaven and Earth Cauldron to resist.

The Qiankun Cauldron is formed from the lotus pod of the thirty-sixth grade Chaos Green Lotus. It has the ability to refine spiritual treasures and transform acquired into innate qualities. Its grade is that of an innate supreme treasure.

"Pfft..."

When the Qiankun Cauldron and the God-Slaying Spear collided, no sound was heard. The God-Slaying Spear mysteriously passed through the void and pierced directly into the body of the Qiankun Ancestor.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of blood splattered in the void.

At the same time, the Qiankun Cauldron struck Luo Hou's World-Destroying Black Lotus, producing a loud noise. Luo Hou spat out a mouthful of blood essence and was sent flying by the Qiankun Cauldron.

With a single shot, the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth died.

This is the power of the God-Slaying Spear; its damage is a Dao injury, and if you are hit by it, you will die instantly.

However, Rahu was also in bad shape, suffering serious injuries. But Rahu used a secret technique to suppress his injuries.

Afterwards, Luo Hou put away the God-Slaying Spear and headed straight for the Yin-Yang Ancestor with murderous intent.
