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

Chapter 240 The Calamity Unleashed, Taiqing Suffers Calamity, All Saints Retreat

Above Jiepai Pass, Pangu's axe shattered the chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun held the God-Slaying Spear in both hands, his steps stained with blood. He pinned his hopes on Xiao Wuji exhausting himself and then reversing this inevitable defeat.

However, he was destined never to receive any rescue.

In the eastern part of the prehistoric world, there is an unnamed village.

Shen Gongbao once encountered the incarnation of Taiqing. Although he was stopped by Xuandu, it brought immeasurable calamity upon him.

This guy is a jinx; he causes trouble wherever he goes, let alone when he comes here with ulterior motives.

After a long standoff between him and Xuandu, this karmic connection, like an invisible venomous snake, silently coiled around Xuandu and the child who was the reincarnation of Taiqing.

Today, the accumulated causes and effects have reached their peak and have erupted with a roar.

Without warning, the clear blue sky split open, revealing a massive, ancient void rift stretching for thousands of miles above the village.

There was no heavenly thunder, no calamity clouds.

From the depths of the crack, jet-black karmic fire of heavenly calamity poured forth.

Amidst the raging flames, a chaotic beast, whose existence dates back to an unknown ancient era, lunged forward, drawn by the stench of impending calamity.

The ferocious beast was shaped like a mountain, covered in barbs, and exuded a chaotic and malevolent aura that devoured everything.

Ignoring the surrounding mountains, rivers, and vegetation, it opened its blood-red maw and pounced straight at the clear-eyed child at the village entrance.

The Grand Master Xuandu, who was hidden in the void, changed his expression drastically, utterly horrified.

"You wicked creature, how dare you!" Xuan Du disregarded the need to conceal his aura.

With one step, his cultivation at the peak of Quasi-Saint level erupted without reservation.

The Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace flew out from his sleeve, swelled in the wind, and when the lid was lifted, the Six Ding Divine Fires filled the sky, turning into a sea of ​​fire that stood firmly in front of the child.

boom!

The chaotic beast, carrying calamity and karmic fire, crashed fiercely into the purple-gold furnace.

This is a calamity of death that is fulfilled by the will of Heaven. The ferocious beast is not only incredibly strong, but the karmic fire around its body is also designed to burn away one's fortune and primordial spirit.

The Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace let out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure, its light dimmed by the impact, and it flew backward.

Xuandu was the first to be hit, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

"puff!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his chest instantly caved in by the shock. The chaotic karmic fire, following his magical power, invaded his meridians, frantically scorching his protective immortal light.

In just one exchange, this only direct disciple of the Human Sect was severely injured.

But he had nowhere to retreat. Behind him lay the last hope of the People's Education Movement.

"Master!!!"

Xuandu let out a desperate roar, his eyes bloodshot.

He burned his life force and rushed forward recklessly, using his mangled flesh and blood to cling tightly to the beast's claws, desperately protecting the children behind him.

The child was startled and fell to the ground. The newly reconstructed bones and a trace of the Primordial Essence within his body began to vibrate violently under the pressure of the Chaotic Karmic Fire.

The calamity that befell Taiqing stirred the heavenly order.

Far away in the Zixiao Palace, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Taiqing True Spirit, protected and nurtured by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, was instantly subjected to a devastating backlash and entanglement.

The flames of the true spirit flickered wildly, almost going out.

The already broken Great Dao of Taiqing was on the verge of complete collapse at this moment, and could no longer maintain the stability of the sage's position.

Sages share the same origin and their vital energies are interconnected.

Outside Jiepai Pass.

"when!"

Pangu's axe struck the God-Slaying Spear once again.

A cloud of blood mist erupted from Yuanshi Tianzun's arms. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and hold on, a heart-wrenching tremor suddenly came from the depths of his mind.

The Taiqing Qi is in utter decline!

"Has something happened to our senior brother?"

The pupils of the Primordial Celestial Venerable suddenly contracted, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Damn it, how could this have happened?"

Although he chose to abandon Taiqing, it was only because he knew that Taiqing would most likely be fine, so he didn't care about her at all. It didn't mean that he really didn't care about Taiqing at all.

The bond between the Three Pure Ones has lasted for countless ages. Even when Tongtian perished, Yuanshi Tianzun shed a tear, let alone Taiqing.

Now that he suddenly sensed that something had happened to Taiqing, he had no intention of delaying any longer.

Hope was dashed, and the defenses collapsed completely.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Xiao Wuji, who was like an ancient demon god with overwhelming killing intent, and knew that killing Xiao Wuji today was a pipe dream.

If the fight continues, his saintly body will inevitably be shattered here by Pangu's axe.

The great calamity has completely escaped the control of the Chan Sect!

"Walk!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable no longer cared about being a saint, nor did he care about the dignity of the ancient and ferocious weapon in his hand.

He looked up to the sky and let out a fierce roar.

"Zhunti, Jieyin! Retreat immediately!!!"

The roar shattered the clouds and echoed for thousands of miles.

Without hesitation, Yuanshi Tianzun formed a hand seal with one hand.

Without hesitation, he detonated the core of the Blood Transformation Box that was floating above his head.

Boom!

The terrifying killing aura transformed into an extremely violent force of obstruction, like a thick wall of light, forcefully blocking the trajectory of Pangu's axe as it fell.

Taking advantage of the brief respite gained by the explosion, Yuanshi Tianzun withdrew.

scoff!

Pangu's axe shattered the origin of Qingyun, and the remaining force of the axe's edge grazed the back of Yuanshi Tianzun.

He groaned, and a deep, bloody gash was instantly torn open on his back, almost shattering half of his body.

But he endured the excruciating pain, transformed into a beam of pure white light, and fled Jiepai Pass without looking back.

In the void outside the Netherworld, Zhunti and Jieyin were being tightly entangled by three quasi-sages: Yunxiao, Styx Ancestor, and Zhenyuanzi.

The two top-grade defensive magical treasures dimmed, and Buddha's blood splattered across the clouds. They were already suffering greatly, struggling to hold on.

Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's stern order to retreat, the two Western saints were utterly bewildered. In their view, why would he suddenly choose to retreat when the situation seemed so favorable?

However, since Yuanshi Tianzun had already spoken, they didn't have time to think much about it. At this moment, they could only choose to step back for the time being and then ask Yuanshi Tianzun for his original intention.

"retreat.

They exchanged a glance, and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and the Azure Lotus Banner of the East exerted their power simultaneously, shaking off the surrounding attacks.

The two transformed into two beams of golden Bodhi light and fled as fast as stray dogs.

A massive siege by the saints ended abruptly and absurdly with the shocking calamity that befell Taiqing.

Above Jiepai Pass, the wind and snow continue.

Xiao Wuji held the Pangu Axe upside down in one hand, standing in mid-air.

Not a drop of blood stained the axe blade, yet it exuded an absolute power that commanded the heavens and earth to submit.

He watched as Yuanshi Tianzun transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky, but did not use his magic to chase after him.

Today's battle has proven that I am no weaker than a sage. Although continuing the pursuit might kill Yuanshi Tianzun, the probability is not as high as I thought. It would be better to stop while I am ahead.

Xiao Wuji exhaled a long breath of stale air, turned his head, and looked with his deep gaze toward the eastern part of the prehistoric world.

He naturally saw Yuanshi Tianzun's reaction. With his level of cultivation, he could basically sense anything related to himself, and Shen Gongbao's matter was no exception.

"Who would have thought that Shen Gongbao's seemingly insignificant move would actually be so effective?"

Xiao Wuji chuckled. His original intention was just to amuse Taiqing Laozi, but he never expected the effect to be so good.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Wuji suddenly thought of something. Instead of returning to Jiepai Pass, he headed in the direction of Shen Gongbao.
