Primordial Era: Taibai, the Poison Master of Yaochi, drives a Sage insane!

The twelve array flags spun in the air, instantly spreading out a black aura that blotted out the sky. The rolling evil aura filled the entire Immortal Slaughtering Array Gate, and the heavy evil aura caused the surrounding void to collapse and tremble continuously.

Immediately afterwards, Jiu Feng's true form was fully revealed.

Its body instantly swelled to a height of hundreds of millions of feet, transforming into a nine-headed divine bird overlooking the heavens and the earth. Its nine heads raised their heads and cried out to the sky, and its nine pairs of huge wings covered the vast sea of ​​clouds!

With the Pangu Palace atop its head and the Witch-Slaying Sword in its hand, the sword radiates a chilling killing intent and possesses an unparalleled ferocity capable of destroying all things.

The moment its true form appeared, boundless ancient battle intent and endless slaughterous aura exploded outwards.

Holding the Slaughtering Witch Sword, Jiufeng combined the boundless malevolent energy gathered by the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation with the endless chaotic sword energy of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation itself. The three terrifying killing forces merged into one, and she charged fiercely towards the Guide Daoist.

The sky was filled with swirling sorcery and chaotic sword energy, densely covering the entire void, completely sealing off all escape routes for the guide, and trapping this Western saint.

The Guide Daoist's expression changed drastically in an instant, all his previous composure vanished. Originally, he only needed to withstand the sword energy attack of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation alone, but now he also had to contend with the desperate struggle of Jiu Feng, a top-tier witch clan expert, and the layers of suppression from the Heavenly God and Fiend Formation, instantly plunging him into a bitter battle on two fronts.

Jieyin could only fully activate the Twelfth-Rank Merit Lotus Platform, spreading out layers of golden Buddhist light to desperately resist the dual invasion of the witch's evil and chaotic sword energy. His Buddhist and Taoist fortune fluctuated violently, and he could no longer steadily advance to break the formation.

On the high platform in the center of the great formation, Tongtian took in the entire battle situation on all sides.

The Juexian Sect had Yaochi holding the Chaos Bell to resist Zhunti, while the Luxian Sect had the Nine Phoenixes of the Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to fight to the death against Jieyin. The East Gate Laozi and the South Gate Yuanshi were simply unable to draw their swords and break the formation.

Seeing this, Tongtian's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and a sense of peace arose in his heart.

Legend has it since the beginning of time that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could not be broken by any of the Four Sages, and this destiny set by Heaven has never failed.

However, this predetermined outcome is contingent upon the four saints being able to advance simultaneously and break through all four formation gates without any obstruction or restraint.

The situation has now completely changed. With the two powerful figures, Yaochi and Jiufeng, blocking and restraining the saints separately, all four array gates are locked, making it impossible for the four saints to break the array and remove the swords simultaneously.

Even though the combined strength of the four saints was unparalleled in the primordial world, they were now trapped in the great formation, unable to advance or retreat.

Tongtian looked up at the entire Zhuxian Sword Formation, his fighting spirit growing stronger.

At this moment, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation truly revealed the terrifying power of the number one killing formation in the primordial world.

The entire formation is a self-contained chaotic micro-world, where all the rules of heaven and earth are rewritten by the formation's principles. The passage of time and changes in mountains and rivers outside have no effect on the formation in the slightest.

The chaotic sword energy within the formation is inexhaustible and circulates endlessly. When one strand is broken, ten new strands are born; when one layer is destroyed, ten more layers are added. It never runs out.

Hundreds of millions of sword energies crisscrossed, weaving an endless and intricate sword net that covered every inch of the formation's airspace, leaving no safe place.

Each sword aura contains the laws of creation and destruction, capable of breaking the foundation of one's Dao, severing the primordial spirit, shattering merits, and extinguishing Buddhist light, specifically designed to counter the protective Dao aura of a saint.

Even with their extraordinary abilities, the Four Saints could only passively defend against this endless, layered, and inexhaustible sword net. With Yaochi and Jiufeng also holding them back, they had no chance to break through the formation.

The seemingly certain outcome of the Four Saints breaking the formation was completely reversed.

At this moment, Li Bai was in the secret realm of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel.

Outside, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was deafening, the Four Saints were locked in a stalemate, and the Witch Clan army was pressing in. The entire prehistoric world was plunged into extreme turmoil and chaos, yet this secret realm remained completely unaffected.

Li Bai communicated directly with Yaochi.

This battle is a test of Yaochi's Dao. If Yaochi successfully attains Dao, then there will be virtually no more obstacles on her path to enlightenment.

Yaochi had made up her mind: "Now that the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, I will seize this perfect opportunity amidst the chaos of the immeasurable calamity and the stalemate among the saints to directly attain enlightenment and take the final step."

Yaochi focused her mind on the secret realm and secretly inquired via telepathy, her tone tinged with caution.

Li Bai spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"There's nothing that's impossible."

"Now that the Great Tribulation is coming to an end, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is loosening, and the barriers of rules are breaking down. This is the best time to rely on the Jade Disc of Creation to complete the Great Dao and fight to the death. In ordinary times, the Heavenly Dao is stable, and there is no chance of proving the Dao. Only in the chaotic world of the Great Tribulation can one defy the Dao and reach the top. Nothing is impossible."

After hearing these words, Yaochi completely put aside her concerns, and her gaze became incredibly firm.

"Alright, let's proceed according to the plan we've already established, coordinating internal and external efforts to reverse the tide of this battle."

Yes, before this decisive battle, Li Bai and Yaochi had already decided on their path to enlightenment; otherwise, why would they have been so radical?

You have enough luck, merit, and reputation.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yaochi completely withdrew her mind from the secret realm and returned to the battlefield of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. She continued to guard the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Gate and fought to the death with Daoist Zhunti.

At the gate of the Immortal-Slaying Formation, the battle remained deadlocked to the extreme.

Zhunti Daoist poured out all his saintly essence, urging the Seven Treasures Tree again and again, and endless blue lotus divine light swept across the Chaos Bell.

No matter how fierce the attack, no matter how powerful the saint's magic, it could not shake the Chaos Bell in the slightest, could not break through this layer of defense, and could not even get half a step closer to the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

After several all-out attacks failed, Zhunti's composure vanished completely, leaving only utter disbelief and shock.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"You are merely a quasi-saint; what makes you think you can withstand the attacks of a saint like me?"

The entire battlefield was completely deadlocked. Without breaking through the Immortal Gate, no matter how fierce the attacks of the other three gates were, they were unable to seize the Immortal Sword, and the plan to break the formation came to a complete standstill.

Laozi at the East Gate and Yuanshi at the South Gate, witnessing this bizarre stalemate, could no longer remain calm.

The four saints joined forces to break the formation, which should have crushed the overall situation. However, their progress was blocked by a quasi-saint. This situation was a humiliation that the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints had never encountered in countless years.

The two sages exchanged a glance and immediately decided to split up to provide support and forcefully break the deadlock.

Lao Tzu stepped onto the Tai Chi Golden Bridge, his body exuding Yin-Yang Daoist energy, and turned to fly towards the Ximen Immortal Slaughtering Formation Gate, personally assisting the Guide Daoist who was being held back by the Nine Phoenixes.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was filled with murderous intent, his chaotic energy surging around him. Holding the Pangu Banner, he charged straight toward the Immortal-Slaying Formation Gate in the due north, personally assisting Zhunti, who had been unable to break through for a long time, and taking action to suppress Yaochi.

Yuanshi's hatred for Yaochi had been accumulating for countless years.

Along the way, the Chan Sect has repeatedly planned for the primordial world, scheming for the fate of the human race, and laying the groundwork for the Investiture of the Gods, but each time it has been secretly sabotaged, obstructed, and dismantled by Yaochi.

Countless brilliant plans were ruined by Yaochi, causing damage to the Chan Sect's fortune, loss of Golden Immortals, and failure of schemes.

Seeing Yaochi single-handedly lock down the Four Saints' formation and completely extinguish the Chan Sect's hope of turning the tide, Yuanshi could no longer suppress the hatred and rage in his heart.

As they approached the gate of the Immortal-Slaying Formation, Yuan Shi let out a cold snort that resounded throughout the heavens and earth, his tone filled with extreme contempt and hatred.

"You bitch!"

With a single word, Yuanshi, disregarding all considerations of kinship and the will of Heaven, swung the Pangu Banner in his hand with all his might.

The ultimate attack treasure of the primordial world unleashed its full power, its unparalleled divine might sweeping across the entire Immortal-Slaying Array Gate. Terrifying chaotic energy blades tore through the void, carrying the power to crush everything and shatter all paths, and slashed straight towards Yaochi.

Previously, Yaochi relied on the Chaos Bell, which was enough to steadily contend with the saint Zhunti. However, when facing Yuanshi, who was holding the Pangu Banner and was filled with rage, she had no power to resist at all.

The Pangu Banner's power to create the world surpasses all the attacks of saints; it is the ultimate killing power in the primordial world.

Even with the Chaos Bell protecting him and the Primordial Dao Rhyme strengthening his body, his defenses were still directly shattered by this terrifying attack.

With a deafening roar, the protective primordial light shield shattered completely, the Chaos Bell was sent flying backward, and Yaochi's body trembled violently, instantly suffering severe injuries.

A mouthful of bright red blood gushed from the corner of his mouth, scattering into the void. His Daoist aura became disordered, and cracks covered his flesh. He staggered backward, almost losing his balance.

Yuanshi stared coldly at the wounded Yaochi, his tone icy and merciless, without a trace of pity.

"If you stay in the Heavenly Court and firmly hold your position as the Great Heavenly Venerable, and guard your own Daoist temple, I will naturally allow you to live peacefully, each on your own path, without disturbing each other."

"But you insist on acting recklessly, disrupting the order of Heaven, hindering the Sage's plans, and interfering with the great calamity of humanity. Today, don't blame me for acting in accordance with Heaven's will and eliminating this root of trouble!"

Before he finished speaking, Yuanshi flicked his wrist again, and the Pangu Banner was swung a second time. Another even more terrifying Heaven-Opening Blade was formed, carrying the power to destroy all things. It slashed straight at Yaochi's body, intending to completely kill Yaochi and eliminate any future troubles.

Severely injured and on the verge of death, Yaochi forcibly steadied her swaying body and faced the deadly attack of the saint. Suddenly, she raised her head and let out a cold snort that resounded throughout the three realms.

"The primordial world has never been the private property of sages; it belongs to all living beings!"

"As long as the sages live, the Great Way will not cease!"

These two sentences were powerful and resounding throughout the heavens, the three realms, the six paths, and the ten directions.

The Jiuli army, which was engaged in fierce fighting, the four holy bodies, the golden immortals of the Chan Sect, and the cultivators of Xiqi who were watching the battle all trembled upon hearing the sound, and the entire Three Realms instantly fell into dead silence.

Countless beings never imagined that a mere quasi-saint would dare to confront the Primordial Saint in public, dare to question the Saint's authority in public, and dare to utter such heaven-defying words that overturn the order of the primordial world.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's anger surged to the heavens, his eyes turning icy cold.

"You audacious wretch! How dare you blaspheme the majesty of the sage and defy the orthodox way of Heaven!"

"Even if you are a former servant of the Dao Ancestor, and have the favor of past relationships, I will never forgive you!"

As he spoke, Yuanshi fully activated the Pangu Banner, unleashing its destructive power to cleave the heavens and earth, mercilessly slashing down.

A colossal chaotic blade, spanning billions of miles, fell and struck Yaochi's body directly.

Faced with absolute top-tier primordial power, Yaochi's physical body, Dao body, and primordial spirit protective power instantly shattered.

His entire body disintegrated and shattered in the void, turning into a sky full of blood-red raindrops that scattered across the entire Zhuxian Sword Formation area. His aura completely dissipated, seemingly a complete demise with no hope of survival.

As Yuanshi gazed at the rain of blood, his tense expression eased slightly, and he uttered a cold sentence.

"Finally dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi raised his hand and grabbed at the air, intending to retrieve the Chaos Bell that had just been knocked away from the void and claim this innate treasure for himself.

Upon seeing this, Zhunti immediately stepped forward and began to compete for it.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, in this bitter battle, I have held Yaochi back for a long time. Why not let this Chaos Bell belong to my Western Sect, to suppress the Western fortune and maintain the balance of the primordial world?"

Yuan Shi's eyes turned cold, and he resolutely refused, his tone carrying an unquestionable domineering air.

"The Chaos Bell was obtained by me personally slaying Yaochi. As spoils of war, it should rightfully belong to me. How can it be arbitrarily given to the West?"

The two sages instantly confronted each other, their auras clashing and undercurrents surging, locked in a stalemate as they fought for this supreme treasure.

Just as the two saints were locked in their argument, the blood-red raindrops that were falling from the sky suddenly began to move.

Countless drops of blood, instead of dispersing, gathered together, ignoring the constraints of the void and the pressure of the saints, all penetrating the present world and flowing into the vast, timeless river of time.

The endless source of time, the power of reincarnation, and the laws of life and death enveloped the blood rain, beginning to reverse the vitality and reshape the Dao body.

This is the supreme path of saintly rebirth and reversal of life and death, which transcends the ordinary. It draws on the Dao-proving method from the perfect world of Huang, which Li Taibai knows. It integrates the body with the Dao, carries the Dao with blood, and shapes the body with time, completely breaking free from the shackles of life and death of the Heavenly Dao.

This is the great path that Li Bai and Yaochi have cultivated over the years, all in preparation for this moment of enlightenment.

The next second, a primordial divine might far greater than before, more profound and more terrifying, suddenly descended from the depths of the river of time, suppressing the entire world.

The overwhelming divine power enveloped the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, causing the four holy bodies to tremble, their magical treasures to hum, and their sword energy to stagnate.

Blood rain, falling from the sky, flowed back against the current of time, rapidly condensing and reshaping in the void.

A complete figure once again stood before the gate of the Immortal Array, his robes fluttering without wind, his Daoist aura surpassing all heavens, his aura profound and perfect, having completely stepped into the realm of the Primordial Saint.

Yaochi, reborn and returned, had icy eyes as she stared directly at Yuanshi Tianzun before her, letting out a cold snort that reverberated throughout the heavens.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, do you really think you can win with this method?"

Yuanshi's pupils suddenly contracted, his body trembled violently, and his face was filled with utter disbelief as he gasped in shock.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Your body was shattered, your primordial spirit dissipated, and you were utterly destroyed. How could you possibly be reborn? How could you possess the complete cultivation of a Primordial Saint?!"

Yaochi stood in the void, her body swirling with primordial Daoist energy. She steadily raised her hand and grasped it in mid-air.

The Chaos Bell, which had just been fought over by the two saints, instantly broke free from all restraints, flew back through the air, and landed steadily in their palms, where it was firmly held.

"In this battle, Senior Brother has already lost."

"With me here guarding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, as long as the formation remains unbroken, Chaoge will be safe and sound, and the order of the Human Race and the Human Emperor will never be overthrown or altered by you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of spiritual light erupted above Yaochi's head, and an ancient and boundless divine disc, carrying the ultimate Dao of all heavens, slowly rose up, hovering above the nine heavens, illuminating the entire primordial world.

It is the ultimate treasure of the primordial world, the Jade Disc of Creation.

Complete and flawless Dao patterns of creation filled the void, revealing all the rules of the heavens, the laws of all things, the order of reincarnation, and the origin of the Dao, covering the Three Realms and Six Paths.

At this moment, all the saints present were stunned and completely dumbfounded.

Yuanshi gazed at the coveted, yet unattainable Jade Disc of Creation, his throat bobbing, his face filled with utter astonishment, and he murmured to himself.

"The Jade Disc of Creation...it's actually a complete Jade Disc of Creation...Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Lao Tzu, who rushed to provide support, looked at the ultimate treasure hanging high in the sky. The Tai Chi energy around him completely stopped, his Dao heart was shaken, and his calm expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years was completely shattered. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Taoist priest who guided Ximen, sitting upright on the lotus platform, trembled slightly, his Buddhist heart shaken, and he was no longer as composed as before.

Only the Tongtian Sect Leader in the center of the great formation, upon seeing this, immediately threw his head back and burst into laughter. His laughter was vast and resounding throughout the heavens and earth, and he was extremely happy.

"Hahaha! Even now, do you still believe you have the ability to break the formation and reverse the great calamity?"

"With the Creation Jade Disc appearing in the world and the Primordial Dao Fruit taking shape, the fate of Heaven is sealed. You four Sages have already lost everything!"

Lao Tzu gazed for a long time at the Jade Disc of Creation hanging high in the sky, then looked at Yaochi, where he had attained the Dao of Hunyuan and wielded the two ultimate treasures, and then at the unbreakable Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Jiuli army poised to attack. Finally, he completely recognized reality.

The tide has turned, and there is no chance of a comeback.

Lao Tzu let out a long sigh, his voice filled with endless helplessness and relief.

"That's enough."

"In this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, we are powerless to contend with it, so we will cede this calamity to Tongtian."

With a single sentence, the Four Sages' attempt to break the formation was completely unsuccessful, and the grand calamity of the Investiture of the Gods came to an end.

Lao Tzu did not linger. He put away the Tai Chi Golden Bridge, his Daoist aura subsided, and he turned and stepped out of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, taking the lead in drifting away and completely abandoning this battle.

Yuanshi was filled with resentment, but looking at the supreme divine power of the Creation Jade Disc and the solid Immortal Slaughtering Formation, he was ultimately powerless to reverse the situation. He could only suppress his anger and resentment, snort coldly, and turn away.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, knowing that the situation was hopeless. Continuing to fight would only deplete their own saintly essence and damage their fortune. They could only put away their treasures, give up the fight, and retreat sadly from the formation space of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Yes, when Yaochi returned after attaining enlightenment, the Four Sages realized that Yaochi, who possessed the Creation Jade Disc and the Chaos Bell, was beyond saving and it was better for them to leave directly.

Yaochi's attainment of enlightenment shook the Three Realms, and Li Taibai breathed a sigh of relief. The future would be the true process of restoring order to the Three Realms. The Witch Clan, the Jiuli Clan, the Human Clan, and the Demon Clan would be properly distributed. The order of the Sages did not continue, and in the future primordial world, Li Taibai would have the ability to elevate the primordial world to a higher dimension by relying on the Jade Tablet of Creation.

Of course, the great changes to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation will definitely have a shocking and transformative impact on the prehistoric world, bringing joy to one side and sorrow to the other!

[The End]

P.S.: This book had a bad ending, and its popularity completely died down, so I could only write a quick ending. Sorry!
