My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

Zhunti, Styx, and Dipankara arrived together, each displaying their supernatural powers!

But Meng Chuan was faster!

Almost the instant the lamplight shone out, he vanished from his spot.

The speed exploded to the extreme, tearing the void with dark cracks in its path, emitting a piercing shriek!

He arrived at the stone platform just before the three parties touched the fragment!

"roll!"

With a single word uttered, Meng Chuan's right hand formed a claw, ignoring the Buddha light of Zhunti, the blood essence of the Styx River, and the light of the Burning Lamp, and he fiercely grabbed at the fragment of the Chaos Pearl!

With a backhand strike, a torrent of immense power exploded outwards, like a chaotic tsunami, sweeping indiscriminately towards the three!

"presumptuous!"

Zhunti's pained expression darkened, and the Seven Treasures Tree returned to defense, its seven-colored divine light transforming into a shield of light.

The Styx River roared fiercely, the Yuan Tu Sword slashed back, and the blood-red sword energy tore through the tide of power.

Ran Deng's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated, protected by the light of the coffin lamp.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

The three muffled thuds occurred almost simultaneously.

The seven-colored light shield trembled violently, and Zhunti took three steps back, the golden lotus beneath his feet flickering.

The crimson sword aura shattered, Styx groaned, and the blood shadow faded by a third.

Ran Deng was in the worst state; his protective light shattered, his Taoist robe was torn, and he coughed up blood as he flew backward, crashing into the precious light behind him.

With a single claw strike, Meng Chuan firmly grasped the fragment of the Chaos Pearl in his palm!

The fragment was icy cold, exactly the same as the one in his sea of ​​consciousness, and now it trembled violently, conveying a strong desire to merge.

However, just as they succeeded—

"Meng Chuan! Leave behind the fragments!"

Taiyi's sharp shout was like a thunderclap!

The Chaos Bell resounded, and a beam of crimson-gold light tore through the void, crashing into Meng Chuan from the side!

Within the pillar of light, stars were born and died, and earth, water, fire, and wind were reenacted—this was the Chaos Bell's killing and destroying divine power—the primordial chaos!

Taiyi attacked in anger, holding nothing back!

Almost simultaneously—

"How could you possibly possess such fragments of a primordial treasure?"

A cold, primordial voice rang out, and the Pangu Banner, which was initially refined, fluttered in the wind!

The next moment, a chaotic sword aura, condensed to its extreme and seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth, silently slashed towards Meng Chuan's right arm holding the fragment from the other side!

Where the sword energy passes, all things vanish, and the laws cease to exist!

The two quasi-saints, each wielding a supreme treasure, unleashed a furious attack—one bright, one dark; one vast, one fierce—sealing off all of Meng Chuan's escape routes except from behind!

What made him even more disheartened was that Lao Tzu had somehow moved behind him.

Three corpses floated in the auspicious clouds above his head, and the illusory image of the Taiji diagram slowly swirled in front of him. Although it did not make a move, it had already subtly blocked his retreat.

The head of the Three Pure Ones must prevent him from escaping!

"To gang up on the few, aren't you two elder brothers unbecoming of the true spirit of Pangu?"

A thunderous roar resounded, the Qingping Sword was drawn, and a ten-thousand-foot sword light transformed into a long blue river that stretched between Laozi and Mengchuan, its sword intent soaring to the heavens!

"Third brother, step back."

Laozi's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "This is a contest for spiritual treasures, and each person's fate depends on their own destiny. No matter how good your personal relationship is with Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, you should not interfere."

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan has succeeded; this is his opportunity!"

Tongtian, enraged, laughed coldly, "Clearly, seeing that Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan was outnumbered, he wanted to forcibly seize the fragment he already had! Eldest brother, are you going to be as shameless as your second brother?"

Laozi's gaze darkened slightly: "Insolence! Step back, lest you force your elder brother to take action."

"Then let's give it a try!"

With a long, resounding roar, the Qingping Sword rose once more, and it seemed he was truly about to make a move.

Lao Tzu sighed inwardly and finally raised his hand to point.

Om-! !

The illusory image of the Tai Chi diagram solidified completely, and the Yin and Yang fish flowed, transforming into a chaotic Yin-Yang array covering tens of thousands of miles, trapping Tongtian and his sword within it.

Within the formation, yin and yang separated, and the clear and turbid settled, making it difficult to break through no matter how the Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi surged and attacked.

The Taiji Diagram is the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world. Even if it is only a preliminary refined phantom, its ability to trap enemies is something that Tongtian cannot break at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, I can only help you stop your elder brother!"

Tongtian roared in the formation, his sword energy becoming increasingly violent, but he was unable to break free for the time being.

Thank you!

Meng Chuan thanked him, his mind now completely focused on the life-or-death situation before him.

In front stood the pillar of light from the primordial chaos, to the side stood the banner of the Primordial Pangu and the sword energy of chaos, and behind, although Laozi was blocked by Tongtian, the residual power of the Taiji diagram still remained, blocking the retreat route.

The fragment in his hand trembled violently, almost flying out of his grasp and forcibly merging with the fragment in his sea of ​​consciousness—

Merging now will inevitably lead to a backlash!

In the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan made his decision.

He neither dodged nor evaded, but clenched his left fist, condensing the Great Dao of Power to its extreme. Chaotic Qi swirled around his fist as he punched towards the Taiyi Crimson Gold Pillar!

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind, and the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled simultaneously, ready to fly out to defend against the enemy—

"then!"

Houtu's voice suddenly entered my ears.

Immediately afterwards, twelve warm and mellow blue streams of light flew out from her sleeves, swift as lightning towards Meng Chuan—these were the twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls she had obtained earlier!

I was planning to give it to them later, but now I can't worry about it anymore.

At this moment, Houtu, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun stopped Dijun and Kunpeng, who wanted to help Taiyi!

As for the other powerful demons, none of them had reached the Quasi-Saint level, so they dared not participate in the Quasi-Saint competition.

Seeing the terrifying combat power of Meng Chuan, Taiyi, and Yuanshi, who were absolutely top-tier among the three thousand guests, the powerful figures dared not participate.

Meng Chuan was shocked. Before he could say anything, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in his sea of ​​consciousness resonated instantly!

The last twelve beads, which originally required a long and painstaking process to refine, were drawn into the space between the eyebrows in the blink of an eye by the first twenty-four beads of the same origin, merging with the primordial spirit and becoming as easy to control as an arm!

At this moment, the Taiyi pillar of light was already in front of him, and the Primordial Chaos Sword Qi was already at his right arm!

"Certainly!"

Meng Chuan gave a low shout in his heart, and thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls emerged simultaneously from between his eyebrows!

Om-! !

Thirty-six bright pearls, each the size of a fist and entirely azure blue, each containing a phantom of a vast water world, appeared together, forming a hazy yet heavy "water world" phantom barrier around Meng Chuan.

The water shimmered and rippled, layer upon layer, as if an endless sea was protecting him!

Although this treasure is not specifically for defense, when there are twenty-four of them, it is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure... But now that all thirty-six are gathered together, it is comparable to an innate supreme treasure, and is protected by the Daoist aura of a supreme treasure.

more importantly--

Deadly battles are strictly forbidden within Zixiao Palace. One cannot fully unleash the destructive power of the treasures used for killing, otherwise the palace may be destroyed and the Dao Ancestor may be angered.

The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is a treasure for suppressing, trapping enemies, and evolving the world. Its killing power is subtle, making it perfect for use in such situations.

Boom—!!

The crimson beam of light slammed into the illusory image of the water world.

Stars exploded within the pillar of light, and the earth, water, fire, and winds raged, with terrifying energy pouring out wildly.

The illusory water world trembled violently, countless ripples exploded on its surface, and the illusory sea inside boiled and evaporated!

But it did not shatter in the end, stubbornly withstanding an attack that was enough to severely injure an ordinary mid-stage Quasi-Saint!

Almost at the same instant the beam of light touched the body—

laugh!

The Primordial Chaos Sword Qi slashed down, silently cutting into the illusory image of the water world.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the water's light vanished, and the illusory sea was cleaved in two, its momentum unstoppable, heading straight for Meng Chuan's right arm. However, weakened by the illusory water world, the sword energy's sharpness was reduced by more than half.

Meng Chuan's right arm muscles suddenly bulged, and the Dao patterns of power emerged beneath his skin as he withstood the sword strike!

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere!

His right arm was slashed open with a deep wound that exposed the bone, and pale golden blood sprayed out. The chaotic sword energy of the Pangu Banner raged at the wound, frantically destroying life.

But the fragment he was holding remained unmoved!

"snort!"

Meng Chuan grunted, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. The power of the Great Dao erupted at the wound, forcibly forcing out and crushing that wisp of chaotic sword energy!

The bleeding stopped, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He raised his head, looked at Taiyi and Yuanshi, and grinned, a cold smile filled with undisguised mockery and fighting spirit: "Is that all you've got?"

Taiyi's face was ashen, and flames in his crimson-gold eyes were about to burst forth.

He never expected that his all-out attack would be blocked by the defense set up by those thirty-six strange beads.

Yuan Shi's expression was equally unpleasant.

The chaotic sword energy of the Pangu Banner only injured the opponent's flesh and skin, failing to sever his arm or seize his treasure!

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and a deeper killing intent in each other's eyes.

This child must not be allowed to live!

Otherwise, it will surely become a major problem in the future!

Just as the two were preparing to strike again, even at the cost of triggering the Purple Cloud Palace's restrictions, to capture Meng Chuan—

"That's enough!"
