After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

Outside Jiepai Pass, bloodshed and carnage reigned.

"when--"

The ancient, desolate sound of bells echoed in the center of the battlefield.

The Chaos Bell unleashed countless streams of profound yellow energy, like an insurmountable divine mountain, firmly blocking the seven-colored divine light that was capable of redeeming everything.

On the city wall, Xiao Wuji neither defended nor retreated.

He met the sage's downcast gaze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, as if he were preparing to take the initiative.

Master Zhunti was slightly taken aback by what he saw.

What surprised him was not the Chaos Bell that blocked the attack, but that Xiao Wuji, this ant, actually dared to come out and obstruct him; it simply made him laugh.

Below the sages, all are ants. Even though the strange formation at Jiepai Pass had blocked the attack of Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti had never taken Xiao Wuji seriously.

Therefore, after a brief moment of surprise, his gaze turned to the Chaos Bell, and his eyes revealed undisguised fanaticism and greed.

That's a supreme innate treasure capable of suppressing destiny!

The West is already impoverished. If this item falls into his hands, the West, if not to prosper greatly, can at least get rid of its current problem of suppressing its destiny.

"Stubborn and obstinate."

Zhunti snorted coldly and swung out the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand once more.

An even more dazzling seven-colored divine light erupted and swept fiercely down towards Xiao Wuji.

"brush!"

Just as the divine light fell, five pillars of light—green, yellow, red, white, and black—stood tall behind Xiao Wuji, resembling five great worlds shining brightly.

Ignoring the spatial barriers, the five-colored divine light, carrying the supreme law that strips away all five elements, fiercely met the Seven Treasures Tree!

"Buzz—!"

Zhunti Daoist suddenly felt his palm go empty.

The Seven Treasures Tree that accompanied him on his path to enlightenment was forcibly severed from his soul connection by the five-colored light wheel and was directly swept away by the strange five-colored divine light!

The seven-colored divine light instantly dissipated.

Master Zhunti was completely stunned.

"This five-colored divine light is truly extraordinary..."

Zhunti looked at Xiao Wuji with surprise and uncertainty.

Although the Three Treasures Ruyi in the hands of the Antarctic Immortal had also been swept away by this divine light before, he never expected that this thing would happen to him as well.

You must understand, he is a saint, and this Seven Treasures Tree is his instrument for proving his enlightenment. It is not the same as the situation of the Antarctic Immortal holding the Three Treasures Ruyi.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think of Kong Xuan, whom he had already taken under his wing.

"What exactly is your relationship with Kong Xuan?" Zhunti couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Wuji had no intention of ignoring the sage's question.

The twenty-four middle-thousand worlds within his body underwent extreme sublimation, operating at a frantic overload, with the Great Five Elements Technique and the Great Origin Technique being pushed to their limits.

The gravity of the twenty-four-dimensional world, along with the vital energy throughout his body, was brutally compressed and concentrated in his right fist.

He shattered the blue bricks with his feet, defying the heavens. He responded to Zhunti's question with the most ferocious punches.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang exploded in mid-air.

Without taking a single step back, the Taoist Zhunti withstood the punch solely with his protective Buddhist aura.

He looked at the arrogant ant in front of him, his eyes growing even colder.

Zhunti, standing high above, spoke with an air of absolute threat: "Kong Xuan is in my hands. If you continue to make moves, don't blame me for being ruthless. At that time..."

Before Zhunti could finish speaking, Xiao Wuji burst into laughter, his eyes full of mockery.

"How laughable! With your character, how could you possibly attain enlightenment? It's truly the most ridiculous thing in the world."

To be honest, Zhunti's use of Kong Xuan to threaten him was something he really hadn't expected, and he couldn't help but marvel at Zhunti's shamelessness.

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

To threaten a mortal with such reverence as a saint is utterly shocking and shatters his worldview.

However, despite his surprise, he still had to make a move, wanting to gauge just how strong the sage truly was.

"Again!"

Xiao Wuji roared, clenched his left fist, and empowered himself with the power of the boundless world. With even more violent world power than before, he slammed it hard into Zhunti's face again!

Seeing that Xiao Wuji not only ignored the threat but even dared to continue throwing punches, Zhunti's shock finally turned into extreme humiliation at being offended by an ant.

"act recklessly!"

Zhunti roared in fury, his right hand reaching out from the clouds.

boom!

A golden Buddha's hand, obscuring the sky and filled with the sage's essence that annihilates all things, carrying the power to destroy the world, fiercely grabbed down at Xiao Wuji, who was rushing upwards against the current.

This grab sealed off the entire space.

"BOOM—!!!"

This is a true, absolute collision that transcends dimensions, a clash between a mortal body and a sage of the Heavenly Dao!

The moment the fist made contact with the Buddha's hand, the dazzling light obscured all colors in the world.

"Click-clack-clack-clack—"

A series of teeth-grinding, bone-cracking sounds rang out.

Xiao Wuji's right arm bones were shattered inch by inch by the saint's great power, flesh and blood exploded, revealing the stark white bones.

The violent law of annihilation penetrated his body, frantically strangling his life force.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and his entire body flew backward at an incredible speed like a meteorite that had lost control.

But he did not die!

Thanks to the desperate protection of the Chaos Bell and the fact that the damage was shared by the twenty-four Middle Thousand Worlds, he was able to withstand the sage's furious attack, and his physical body was even continuing to recover.

His brief standoff, bought with his life, gave Yunxiao the most precious time.

Yunxiao stood atop the city wall, and with Xiao Wuji providing cover, she suddenly raised her delicate hand.

"receive!"

The Primordial Golden Cauldron was unleashed, its golden light sweeping across heaven and earth!

The immense suction force pierced through heaven and earth, enveloping the Golden Spirit Mother, the Tortoise Spirit Mother, and more than ten severely injured core disciples of the Jie Sect who were falling from mid-air.

Swish!

The golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

These pillars of the Jie Sect were all swept into Jiepai Pass before the Western Sect's Qiankun Bag could fall!

Seeing that the cooked duck had flown away, the Taoist Zhunti could no longer suppress his anger.

He took in three thousand mortals, but these dozen or so core disciples are the true source of the Jie Sect's fortune!

Now, to be rescued right under his nose is like having his heart ripped out!

"Stubborn to the end! Then we'll flatten this pass as well!"

Zhunti clasped his hands together, and his magnificent golden form suddenly materialized behind him.

He prepared to use swift and decisive methods to forcibly shatter the eerie light barrier and the boundary marker together.

However, just as the holy might was about to completely overwhelm them...

A loud shout came from the sky.

"The Long-Eared Immortal!"

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader was disheveled, and his black robe had been torn to shreds by the attacks of the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram.

His body was stained with golden holy blood. Looking down at the tens of thousands of disciples who had died tragically, there was not a trace of panic in his eyes. Instead, a look of madness appeared.

He gazed into the void, his tone indifferent, his voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

"Shake the Six Soul Banner!!"

"Send them on their way!!!"
