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

Outside Jiepai Pass, the Liangyi Emerald Light Lantern hangs in the sky.

At the wick, a massive amount of yin and yang energies poured down like a waterfall.

One begets two, two begets three, and three begets dust.

In the blink of an eye, the world within a radius of millions of miles was forcibly stripped away.

Space is folded, and laws are reorganized.

From the outside, the location of Jiepai Pass is now nothingness; all the secrets of heaven, cause and effect, and aura have been completely locked away by this first illusion array of the primordial world.

Taiqing Laozi held a whisk in his hand, his face as calm as an ancient well.

"The formation is complete."

He looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and the two Western Saints beside him, his tone indifferent.

"This place is isolated from the primordial wilderness. No matter how the earth, water, fire, and wind recur inside, they will not affect the outside world in the slightest."

"Now that Tongtian is no longer interfering, everyone can proceed with their actions without restraint."

This simple sentence was like removing the last shackle hanging over the head of a saint.

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother!"

The killing intent in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes suddenly intensified. Without the worry of destroying the primordial world and being tainted by karma, he could finally unleash his power without reservation.

He took a step forward, arriving high above the formation, looking down at the Jiepai Pass shrouded in dim light below, his cold face devoid of any pity.

With a sudden grab of his right hand, the Pangu Banner materialized.

The banner fluttered in the wind, and the aura of tearing apart the primordial chaos filled the entire microcosm.

Yuanshi Tianzun gripped the banner pole with both hands, pouring all his magical power into it without reservation, and shook it fiercely at the boundary marker below!

laugh--!

A magnificent and boundless chaotic sword aura roared out.

The sword energy sliced ​​through the void, carrying the terrifying power to shatter ancient stars, and crashed straight down towards Jiepai Pass!

……

Inside Jiepai Pass.

The moment that chaotic sword energy took shape, all living beings within the pass were suffocated.

The disciples of the Jie Sect who had just retreated to the pass all raised their heads.

The faces of the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, the Holy Mother of Wudang, and others were as pale as snow.

They felt the incomparable shadow of death, a sage's killing intent powerful enough to erase even a Great Immortal's true spirit.

The entire Jiepai Pass was filled with a desolate atmosphere of people eagerly awaiting their execution.

However, amidst this perilous situation that filled everyone with terror, only one person remained calm and composed.

Xiao Wuji stood atop the highest point of the city wall, his hands clasped behind his back. The fierce wind whipped his black Taoist robes into the wind, but he didn't even blink.

He had already quietly activated the Primordial Pure Land before that. He didn't care at all when Yuanshi Tianzun made his move, since he had already verified this before, but Yuanshi Tianzun himself didn't believe it.

next moment.

boom--!

The chaotic sword energy, capable of destroying heaven and earth, struck solidly into the faint light above Jiepai Pass.

The disciples of the Jie Sect inside the city covered their ears tightly, waiting for the deafening roar of the city falling, people dying, and the world collapsing.

However, the imagined scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart did not appear.

The chaotic sword energy, powerful enough to flatten ten thousand mountains, was like a drop of water falling into a vast ocean the moment it touched the light barrier.

There was no deafening roar, no dazzling collision of laws. Not even the light screen itself rippled in the slightest.

That terrifying sword energy vanished without a trace.

An eerie silence enveloped the entire microscopic world.

The disciples of the Jie Sect who had been waiting for death with their eyes closed in the city opened their eyes in confusion and looked at each other.

The city walls didn't collapse, the formation wasn't broken, and not even a gust of wind could get in; he was still alive.

……

Above the clouds.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly as he looked down at the unscathed Jiepai Pass.

"There's definitely some trick to it; no wonder we couldn't break through it before."

He snorted coldly, assuming that the city-protecting formation had a secret mechanism for absorbing and transferring magical power, but he absolutely did not believe that it had no limit to what it could withstand.

If a dignified Heavenly Saint, wielding a supreme innate treasure, couldn't even break a mortal array, wouldn't that be utterly ridiculous!

"However, I'd like to see how long your formation can hold out!"

A fierce glint flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes. He gripped the banner pole tightly with both hands, and his magical power surged into it like a flood.

"Open the gate for me!!"

He no longer stopped after a single strike, but instead began to swing the Pangu Banner wildly.

laugh!laugh!laugh!

The dense, chaotic sword energy transformed into a sky-covering rain of swords.

A storm of attacks poured down upon Jiepai Pass!

Rumble—!!!

The interior of the microscopic world instantly transformed into a devastating ocean.

Sword energy emanated from all directions, causing earth, water, fire, and wind to surge wildly.

The land outside Jiepai Pass was sheared away layer by layer, and the surrounding void could not withstand such a dense attack, and was directly torn into a chaotic mess.

If it weren't for the Yin-Yang Microcosm Array locking this space tightly, such violent aftershocks would have already sunk the eastern part of the prehistoric world.

The relentless bombardment lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun stopped what he was doing, his gaze fixed on the abyss below, which had been reduced to ruins by the sword energy.

He was very confident that under such a dense offensive, not to mention formations, even innate treasures would lose their luster.

However, when the raging chaotic air currents subsided and the smoke and dust dissipated.

The cold smile on Yuanshi Tianzun's face froze completely. His majestic eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief and horror.

Below, the Jiepai Pass still stands quietly in the same place.

That hazy, faint light enveloped the entire city, neither increasing nor decreasing, without dimming in the slightest.

It was as if the devastating bombardment had never happened.

And atop the city wall.

The young man, dressed in a black Taoist robe, had even brought out a grand chair from somewhere and was leaning back comfortably on it.

He was holding a cup of hot tea and slowly blowing away the foam.

"Grandmaster Uncle".

Xiao Wuji put down his teacup, looked up at the Yuanshi Tianzun who was frozen like a wooden chicken on the cloud, and his voice was particularly clear in the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

"Are you tired? Why don't you come down for a cup of tea, rest for a bit, and then continue chopping?"

"I can keep waiting."

In the void, all the saints were stunned.

Standing to the side, the Taoist Zhunti held the Seven Treasures Tree in mid-air, his mouth slightly open, looking just like a clay or wooden sculpture.

The Taoist priest stopped moving his prayer beads, and his face, which had been filled with suffering, was now filled with bewilderment.

Even Taiqing Laozi, who had been maintaining the formation with his eyes closed, opened them and stared intently at the light screen at Jiepai Pass, a strange expression churning in his eyes.

There was a full ten-breath silence at the scene.

A moment later, the three sages, Taiqing Laozi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, turned their heads and turned to Yuanshi Tianzun, who was holding the Pangu Banner.

As fellow sages, they knew all too well how powerful sages were, and Yuanshi Tianzun, as one of the Three Pure Ones, wielded the Pangu Banner, making him one of the most powerful and formidable among all the sages.

But now, they can't even break through a small pass.

Previously, one could say that the fear of the primordial chaos shattering prevented them from fully utilizing their abilities. But now, with heaven and earth separated, they still can't break through?

At this moment, they couldn't help but wonder if Yuanshi Tianzun was deliberately putting on a show.
