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

Chapter 219 Unbelievable, the light barrier that even the Dao Ancestor couldn't break through.

The ruins of Jiepai Pass stretch out in a vast, chaotic expanse.

Hongjun Daozu ignored the crowd's worship and didn't even glance at the two Western Saints who were critically injured.

His empty, deep eyes pierced through the swirling snow and chaotic ruins, locking onto the multicolored light curtain that enveloped Jiepai Pass.

He held the seemingly ordinary purple bamboo staff and slowly took a step forward.

With this one step, he directly crossed the spatial distance and arrived in front of the light screen of the Primordial Pure Land.

The Dao Ancestor will personally break the formation!

The powerful beings kneeling on the ground felt a sudden tremor in their hearts and held their breath.

Zhunti stared intently at Hongjun's retreating figure, his eyes filled with fervor and anticipation. This damned tortoise shell was finally about to be crushed by the very Heavenly Dao!

Hongjun did not unleash any earth-shattering supernatural powers or phenomena.

He simply raised his right hand with utter nonchalance, grasped the purple bamboo staff, and seemingly casually tapped the multicolored light screen in front of him.

Avenue to Jane.

This finger strike produced no collision of magical light, no earth-shaking explosion.

But the instant the tip of the staff touched the light barrier, a supreme power that instantly reversed the laws of heaven and earth poured down on Hun Wanjing Master along the purple bamboo staff!

This is not an attack, this is erasure!

This is the Heavenly Dao's will to forcibly reduce and eliminate a heretical rule that does not belong to this world!

boom!

A strange, extremely muffled sound exploded deep within everyone's minds.

Just when everyone thought that this layer of colorful light curtain would be reduced to ashes with a casual flick of Hongjun's finger.

A scene that left all the powerful beings present, and even the gods and saints secretly observing, speechless, unfolded!

Buzzing—!

The seemingly thin, cicada-wing-like light curtain suddenly dented inward violently under the tap of the purple bamboo staff.

The entire array barrier resembled a fully drawn bowstring, twisted and deformed to the extreme.

The multicolored divine light flashed and swirled wildly on the surface of the light screen, even emitting a teeth-grinding "crunching" friction sound.

But it didn't break!

When faced with the obliteration of the highest will of Heaven, the underlying rules of the Primordial Chaos Pure Land unleashed a remarkably resilient counterforce.

It withstood Hongjun's attack with its own might, using its extreme distortion to dissolve the immense power that could wipe out heaven and earth into the ripples of the light screen bit by bit.

The tip of the bamboo staff was pressed firmly against the deepest recess of the light screen, unable to move forward even an inch!

Dead silence.

An even more terrifying deathly silence than when Hongjun descended instantly enveloped the entire Jiepai Pass.

"How is that possible—"

The kneeling saint Zhunti suddenly raised his head, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets on his blood-stained face.

His all-out attack, fueled by burning his saintly essence, couldn't even make the light barrier tremble.

Now, even with Dao Ancestor Hongjun personally taking action and mobilizing the annihilation of the Heavenly Dao Origin, he still couldn't shatter it instantly.

What on earth is this defense system at Jiepai Pass?

Even Hongjun, who was one with the Heavenly Dao, could not break through him with a single blow. Who else in this primordial world could subdue him?

Not far away, Empress Pingxin and Yunxiao also gasped in shock.

Especially Consort Pingxin, who was perfectly integrated with the Dao, understood better than anyone else the terrifying dimensional power contained in Hongjun's seemingly casual remark.

That attack, powerful enough to instantly evaporate the entire Netherworld Blood Sea, was actually withstood by this light barrier.

Xiao Wuji's formation is so unfathomable that it defies common sense.

Outside the light curtain.

Hongjun paused slightly in the hand holding the bamboo staff.

He retracted his purple bamboo staff, glanced down at the tip of the staff, and then looked at the light screen in front of him that was slowly returning to its original state and emitting a faint, multicolored glow once again.

On that withered, indifferent face that had stood for millennia, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

For the first time since merging with the Dao, genuine surprise and astonishment appeared in those ethereal eyes.

He actually had no way to break through this formation instantly?

Hongjun's gaze, capable of seeing through the three thousand Great Daos, seemed to be able to see through the light barrier completely.

However, the rules governing the flow of this multicolored light curtain are completely outside the primordial Heavenly Dao, leaving no trace and no basis for understanding.

It's like a stubborn rock that appeared out of nowhere, blocking the gears of the universe.

The powerful figures outside the world were deeply shocked and filled with speculation because of this astonishing scene.

They thought Xiao Wuji was incredibly powerful and could even withstand the Dao Ancestor.

However, Xiao Wuji, who was inside the formation, was experiencing a completely different situation.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the city wall, his expression still calm, without even moving an inch.

But beneath that calm exterior, Xiao Wuji's back was already completely soaked with cold sweat!

He felt no smug satisfaction whatsoever at having blocked the Dao Ancestor's attack.

Because, at the very instant the purple bamboo staff touched the light screen...

Deep within his consciousness, the system's red alarm sounded like a vengeful ghost, blaring frantically!

【warn!warn! 】

[The Primordial Pure Land is being eroded by the rules of higher-dimensional Heavenly Dao, causing a sharp decline in its structural integrity!]

[Expected to withstand another attack of equal intensity — instantly shatter!]

The piercing sound echoed in my mind again and again.

Xiao Wuji clenched his teeth tightly, forcibly suppressing his rapid heartbeat.

This is the terror of the Heavenly Dao Ruler!

No matter how much magic power those Heavenly Saints used to bombard them, the Primordial Pure Land could judge and neutralize their attacks based on its absolute rules.

But Hongjun is different!

Hongjun was one with the Heavenly Dao. His finger strike just now was not a magical attack, but a direct use of the Heavenly Dao's rules to forcibly erase and cover the Primordial Pure Land!

This is a rule-based erasure, on par with the Primordial Pure Land, so it is simply impossible to withstand.

Although the system is powerful, this Primordial Pure Land obviously has a limit to its capacity.

Hongjun's seemingly casual strike directly reduced the array's durability by nearly 90%, pushing it to the defensive limit of the Hunyuan Pure Land!

"Old man, you have no martial ethics." Xiao Wuji felt a chill in his heart.

Hongjun didn't waste any words with him, not even giving him a chance to negotiate, and immediately started testing the limits of the formation.

If Hongjun were to raise that purple bamboo staff again and strike once more, the invincible protective barrier that had caused the saints to retreat in defeat would shatter completely like a soap bubble!

Outside the city, Hongjun stood quietly in the wind and snow.

Although he failed to break through the barrier with his first attack, his deep gaze seemed to have already detected the drastic decrease in energy within the light barrier.

Hongjun slowly raised his right hand, which was holding the purple bamboo staff, and the tip of the staff was once again aimed at the colorful light screen of Jiepai Pass.

This attack, like the previous ones, was simple and unadorned, yet it contained no less power of rules. In fact, it was even stronger.

Xiao Wuji's pupils shrank sharply. He took a deep breath, his brain working frantically.

We absolutely cannot let Hongjun land this second blow. We must come up with another solution before the formation breaks, or things will go terribly wrong.
