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

Chapter 225 With the Deadly Weapon in Hand! The Three Saints of Kunlun Mountain Conspire Again

Normally, when the two Western saints visit, there would be no shortage of insincere pleasantries in which they claim to be compassionate.

Yuanshi Tianzun would also maintain the airs of being the true descendant of Pangu and respond with polite formalities.

But now, there's no longer any small talk or pleasantries between the two sides.

Zhunti and Jieyin's gazes were icy cold. The battle at Jiepai Pass had humiliated them, and their fortunes had been severely damaged. This humiliation and hatred had reached their peak.

"Brother Yuanshi Dao."

The Taoist Zhunti spoke first, his voice as cold as ice from the deepest hell, revealing undisguised resentment and venom.

"The destiny of the Great Shang Dynasty has begun, and the incense offerings in the underworld have been established."

The Taoist priest, his knuckles white, plucked the prayer beads he cherished in his hand: "The destiny of Heaven has been altered, and the Great Dao has been overthrown. If we hold back any longer, the lineage of the Dao will surely perish."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable gripped the armrest of the sandalwood chariot. With a crack, the sturdy armrest was pinched and a crack appeared.

"I am aware of this."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable stood up, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light erupted, dispelling all the gloom in the hall and transforming it into the purest killing force.

"Noodles and scheming are all illusions. When this great calamity arrives, only killing can stop the killing!"

"Now that Senior Brother Taiqing has entered the cycle of reincarnation, Tongtian has also gone to cleanse his true spirit."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke calmly, yet every word was like a knife.

"Now, Xiao Wuji no longer has any hostages he can truly use to blackmail us!"

Upon hearing this, both Zhunti and Jieyin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

In the face of the struggle for the Great Dao, as long as we can completely wipe out Jiepai Pass, the sacrifice of a few disciples is an acceptable price to pay!

Even the true lineage of Pangu has abandoned its own leader; if the Western Sect continues to hesitate, it will be cutting off its own lifeline.

Seeing the fierce expressions on the faces of the two Western Saints, Yuanshi Tianzun stopped talking nonsense.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a resounding clang, filled with endless destruction, boomed throughout the Jade Void Hall.

The void shattered like a fragile piece of paper, and a long spear appeared out of thin air in the palm of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!

The spear was twelve feet long and jet black. The shaft was covered with obscure and intricate ancient demonic runes.

It is none other than the most ferocious weapon of antiquity, the God-Slaying Spear!

The moment this deadly weapon appeared, the Jade Purity Immortal Light of the entire Jade Void Palace was instantly suppressed and dimmed.

Even Zhunti and Jieyin, who were sitting below, couldn't help but be taken aback.

Although they had seen Yuanshi Tianzun obtain the God-Slaying Spear before, the final battle between Yuanshi Tianzun and Pingxin took place in the Netherworld, so they were not clear about the true power of the spear.

Now, experiencing it firsthand, as they felt the unparalleled killing intent emanating from the God-Slaying Spear, their pupils contracted sharply, and an uncontrollable chill ran down their spines.

"Is this... the God-Slaying Spear?"

Zhunti Daoist stared intently at the jet-black spear, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice filled with undisguised shock and awe.

He could clearly sense that if he were pierced by the tip of this spear, even the indestructible golden body of a saint would be left with an unhealable wound on the Great Dao.

On the main seat, Yuanshi Tianzun gripped the shaft of the God-Slaying Spear tightly, a sinister killing intent flashing deep in his eyes.

Fueled by extreme anger and resentment from repeated setbacks, even though he had been awakened by Hongjun, he still inevitably fell into demonic possession, albeit slightly, without even realizing it himself.

"Indeed. It is the God-Slaying Spear."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked down at the two Western Saints, a smile of madness and bloodlust curving his lips.

"You two."

His voice was deep and cold, like a chilling wind blowing from the deepest hell, as he meticulously analyzed the impending deadly situation, word by word.

"Although the Dao Ancestor stepped forward to quell the chaos and establish the rules for the Three Realms."

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with cunning and ruthlessness as he exploited loopholes in the rules.

"However, the Dao Ancestor did not explicitly state that we, the Heavenly Dao Saints, are not allowed to cross boundaries and personally set foot in the mortal realm and the Netherworld."

"The Primordial Pure Land of Jiepai Pass is indeed extremely strange; even the Pangu Banner cannot shake it instantly."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable slammed the God-Slaying Spear heavily onto the jade floor of the main hall.

boom!

The hard ground instantly cracked, revealing large, dark, spiderweb-like fissures.

"But so what?"

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's eyes blazed with murderous intent: "An array is ultimately just an array! We've already tested it before; with the power of this ferocious weapon, breaking through that boundary barrier would be as easy as flipping a hand!"

The main hall was filled with auspicious energy, yet it was shrouded in a suffocating silence.

After a moment, Zhunti spoke up: "What about the Dao Ancestor's previous act of stopping the war?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze turned cold, as if he didn't care.

"Although the Dao Ancestor intervened in the Netherworld to stop the fighting and quell the conflict, upon closer examination, he did not issue a decree explicitly forbidding us from continuing to intervene."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions changed slightly.

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning spoke in a chilling tone, conveying an unwavering resolve.

"The great calamity is not yet over, and the Investiture of the Gods is not yet complete. Since Heaven has not completely sealed off the way out, we should strike first and not allow the Jie Sect to grow too powerful!"

Upon hearing these remarks about actively starting a war, Zhunti and Jieyin showed little joy, but rather deep worry.

The Guide Daoist, his brow furrowed, turned his prayer beads: "Brother Yuanshi, if war breaks out again now, what will happen to Brother Taiqing?"

"He has now been reincarnated. If we act rashly and provoke a counterattack from the Jie Sect, Senior Brother Taiqing may be in danger of losing his life."

"It's alright."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable interrupted Jieyin's words directly, his voice completely calm and ruthless.

"Our eldest brother has his own miraculous methods to protect him, so we need not worry. The most urgent task is to conquer Jiepai Pass!"

Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the Jade Void Hall seemed to instantly drop to freezing point.

When Zhunti and Jieyin locked eyes, a look of extreme horror and chill flashed across the eyes of both Western religious leaders.

They understood the unspoken meaning behind Yuanshi Tianzun's words; it was clear that even Taiqing Laozi had been completely abandoned!

In order to win this game and to conquer Jiepai Pass, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer cared about the life or death of Taiqing, leaving him to fend for himself.

Zhunti's grip on the Seven Treasures Tree tightened slightly.

The Western religion was already hoping that the Xuanmen would be completely destroyed by internal strife, so they should have been secretly pleased to see Yuanshi Tianzun acting this way.

But at this moment, as collaborators in the same boat, they felt not much joy, but rather a chilling fear.

To abandon even one's own flesh and blood, with whom one has shared countless years of affection, shows how ruthless and heartless Yuanshi Tianzun truly is!

If he can abandon Taiqing without hesitation today, then if the Western Sect loses its value in the future, the true blade of Pangu will surely strike Mount Sumeru without mercy.

Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin is utterly futile.

However, despite their fear, the humiliating scene at Jiepai Pass immediately flashed through the minds of Zhunti and Jieyin.

The three direct disciples of Shakyamuni, Maitreya, and Bhaisajyaguru are still in Xiao Wuji's hands: Kong Xuan was kidnapped in front of everyone; the face of the Western Sect has been trampled into the mud.

This irreconcilable blood feud ultimately outweighed any fear of their allies.

"What Brother Yuanshi said is absolutely right."

Zhunti took a deep breath, concealing the coldness in his eyes, and clasped his hands together in response.

"With a great calamity looming, we must act decisively. We, the Western Sect, are willing to stand with our fellow Daoists through thick and thin."

Having reached a consensus, the guide then smoothly moved on to the main topic.

"However, the Jie Sect is no longer as easy to control as it used to be."

Jieyin looked troubled and began to analyze the current situation step by step.

"Yunxiao, Minghe, and Zhenyuanzi have all become quasi-sages. The underworld and the city gods of the human world are connected by fate, forming an unbreakable bond."

"What's even more troublesome is that the defensive light barrier at Jiepai Pass is impenetrable even to the Pangu Banner and the Yuan Tu Abi. How should we proceed?"

Inside the main hall, the atmosphere became heavy once again.
