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

The next day, outside Jiepai Pass, the sky and earth lost their original colors.

The vast purple aura stretching for 30,000 miles and the gleaming Buddha light soaring into the sky forcibly tore the entire heavens apart.

Two immense and boundless pressures, like overturned ancient divine mountains, crashed down on Jiepai Pass, causing the void to tremble.

The benevolent incarnation of Laozi and the Bodhi Patriarch arrived together.

Having learned their lesson the hard way, the two saintly incarnations didn't waste any more words this time.

Laozi, in his incarnation, stood on a cloud, his face as calm as a still well, and with a wave of his sleeve.

An ancient, black-and-white scroll painting flew out from his sleeve.

The scroll exudes the primordial aura of creation, with Yin and Yang and the Five Elements flowing upon it, and boundless divine light of creation showering down upon it. It is none other than the innate supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

Whoosh!

The scroll unfurled in the wind, instantly transforming into a white jade and golden bridge spanning heaven and earth.

Above the bridge, earth, water, fire, and wind reenacted, the five elements and yin and yang rotated, carrying the supreme power to establish the order of all things, and crashed down on the protective formation of Jiepai Pass.

"Buzz—"

Beneath the Jiepai Pass, the twelve fake golden figures, hastily made overnight, trembled violently under the unbearable pressure.

The surging, blood-red aura of the great formation, under the merciless suppression of the Taiji Golden Bridge, instantly froze like frozen amber, falling into complete stillness.

However, after suppressing the great formation, the white jade bridge remained suspended in mid-air and did not continue to crush the formation base downwards.

Above the clouds, Laozi, in his avatar, slightly narrowed his eyes.

He could sense that although the malevolent energy within the formation was somewhat weak, its foundation possessed a strange and profound depth.

"This remnant formation of the Witch Clan is indeed quite ingenious. If we forcibly break it, it might cause the earth's veins to rage, potentially leading to uncontrollable changes."

Laozi, in his physical form, pondered this in his heart and then stopped activating the Taiji diagram.

In his view, it was enough to use the Tai Chi diagram to fix this fierce formation and strip away Xiao Wuji's greatest reliance. Why create trouble for no reason?

"Hahaha! Great!"

When Bodhi Patriarch saw that the great formation had been completely frozen, his eyes immediately flashed with wild joy.

In the distant direction of Qishan, the remnants of the Western Qi army, who had retreated to this place, saw through the Xuan Guang Water Mirror that the terrifying blood mist at Jiepai Pass had finally solidified, and immediately burst into earth-shaking cheers.

That nightmarish tortoise shell has finally failed!

Holding the truly magnificent seven-jeweled tree, radiant with light and color, Patriarch Bodhi felt more confident than ever before.

He looked down at Jiepai Pass, now stripped of its protective array, his voice booming like thunder, carrying a condescending tone of judgment:

"Xiao Wuji! Your greatest reliance has been suppressed!"

"Without the protection of this great formation, you're nothing but a turtle in a jar. Why don't you come out and face your death? What are you waiting for?"

Accompanied by the thunderous roar of the Bodhi Patriarch, a violent ripple suddenly appeared in the void above Jiepai Pass.

A figure in black shattered the void and ascended against the heavens from within the Boundary Gate.

The newcomer was naturally Xiao Wuji. He sensed the two of them the moment Taishang Laojun made his move, but he did not intervene because the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was just an empty shell. It was good enough that it could hold back the Taiji Diagram.

At this moment, Xiao Wuji was dressed in plain clothes, his black hair was casually tied behind his head, and he stood in the void, his aura boundless.

There were no auspicious clouds supporting him, but with each step he took, the entire void emitted a rumbling sound as if it could not bear the terrifying weight of the world within him.

Returning to simplicity, the greatest truths are the simplest.

"when--"

With a clear and ancient chime, the Chaos Bell flew out of his body, hovering above his head, and cascading down myriad streams of primordial yellow energy.

With a clench of his right hand, the Immortal Execution Sword, neither gold nor jade, fell into his palm. Its hazy killing intent was extremely restrained, yet it caused the surrounding space to be silently annihilated.

"They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!" Bodhi Patriarch sneered.

Seeing that Xiao Wuji dared to go out of the city alone to fight, he no longer hesitated and swung the real Seven Treasures Tree in his hand down at Xiao Wuji's head.

Swish!

A beam of seven-colored divine light tore through the sky.

This was far superior to the previous illusory image. When the true sage's artifact was unleashed, the five elements of heaven and earth were instantly drained, and an unparalleled sharpness that annihilated all laws transformed into a destructive torrent, engulfing Xiao Wuji.

"A saint's magical artifact? You're truly shameless. I overestimated you!"

Xiao Wuji's face showed disdain. Although he mentioned the name of the saint's magic weapon, there was no sign of retreat in his eyes. On the contrary, his fighting spirit was like a raging storm.

He neither dodged nor avoided it, but faced the earth-shattering seven-colored divine light head-on and slashed with his sword!

"Zhu Xian!"

The gray, peerless sword light and the seven-colored divine light collided violently in mid-air.

boom--!!!

An indescribable storm of laws swept across all directions, instantly turning the void within a radius of tens of thousands of miles into chaos.

The primordial energy emanating from the Chaos Bell vibrated violently, firmly blocking the direct impact of the divine light.

However, the aftershocks of the true sacred artifact were still terrifyingly powerful. Countless tiny, yet powerful, seven-colored light blades pierced through the gaps in the defense and struck Xiao Wuji fiercely.

Her plain clothes were torn, revealing her bronze skin.

"Die!" A cruel glint flashed in Bodhi Patriarch's eyes.

However, the next moment, the sneer on his face froze completely.

Ding ding ding!

The aftershocks of divine light, powerful enough to shred a Grand Luo Golden Immortal into a bloody mist, struck Xiao Wuji's skin and produced a crisp sound like ancient divine iron clashing!

Amidst the flying sparks, even the surrounding space was torn apart by the aftershocks of the collision, but Xiao Wuji's physical body didn't even leave a single white mark!

At the seventh stage of minor completion, his physical body, at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, is comparable to the Twelve Ancestral Witches of yesteryear, and is capable of withstanding the aftershocks of a sacred artifact without injury!

"How is this possible?" Bodhi Patriarch exclaimed in shock, his face filled with horror.

"Nothing is impossible in this world!"

Xiao Wuji withstood the storm of divine light and stomped his foot hard in the void.

boom!

Vast swathes of void shattered like glass. Using the terrifying recoil, he instantly closed to within a hundred feet of Bodhi Patriarch, like an ancient demon god unleashed from its armor.

"Take my sword too!"

Xiao Wuji gripped the Zhuxian Sword tightly with both hands, and the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens Realms within his body resonated with the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

He didn't use any fancy supernatural powers, but instead ruthlessly pressed the weight of all twenty-four worlds onto the sword's edge.

With a single horizontal slash, the hazy sword energy, carrying the weight of countless ages, tore apart the seven-colored divine light that filled the sky.

Bodhi Patriarch was shocked and furious, and quickly raised the Seven Treasures Tree to block.

"boom!"

The tree and sword clashed, unleashing a deafening roar like muffled thunder.

Bodhi Patriarch felt a terrifying force, comparable to the fall of a star, surging down the tree branch.

His arms suddenly went numb, and his tiger's mouth split open instantly. His golden body, which was impervious to all magic, actually made a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound under this pure physical pressure!

"How can there be such immense strength?"

The Bodhi Patriarch's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and his original composure and aloofness vanished completely.

"How could those who follow unorthodox paths know the true methods of the Xuanmen sect?" Xiao Wuji mocked.

He pressed his advantage relentlessly, and the Chaos Bell above his head emitted a deafening roar. The Xuanhuang Bell Waves, like an invisible hand, instantly locked down the space around Bodhi Patriarch.

Then came the second sword! The third sword!

boom! boom! boom!

The aura of destruction exploded in mid-air like blooming flowers of death.

Every swing of the Immortal Execution Sword carries a ferocious power capable of destroying all laws.

The True Seven Treasures Tree, which was said to be able to brush away anything, was actually shattered by the continuous, violent, and heavy blows, causing its seven-colored glazed light to scatter everywhere.

The indestructible law of annihilation was forcibly shrunk back to within three zhang of Bodhi Patriarch by Xiao Wuji!

"retreat!"

Bodhi Patriarch gritted his teeth, his thin face turning red.

Under this barrage of brutal attacks, he, wielding a sacred artifact, couldn't even find a chance to retaliate and was forced to retreat.
