One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 911 The Tushita Heavenly Court, Waging Excessive Military Aggression

squeak~
The vermilion gate slowly opened, and the Tushita Palace once again opened its doors to Hu Xiuwu.

Although Hu Xiuwu and Laozi were now mortal enemies, Laozi still maintained his composure and did not allow Hu Xiuwu to break down the gate and enter.

There were even golden and silver Taoist boys who came to guide the way.

Even as Laozi maintained his manners and composure, Hu Xiuwu couldn't be too rude either. The branches coiled around the blade of the Chunzi sword, growing layers of dense, lush green leaves, like fish scales covering the blade, as if the Chunzi sword had been sheathed again.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn led the way, remaining silent and even walking with hurried steps, indicating some tension.

Following them were Laozi's destined mortal enemies.

Today, He and Laozi will surely determine who is superior and who lives or dies.

As Laozi's attendants, how could they possibly survive if Laozi were to die?

Since the Taoist hearts of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn were not firm, they were naturally somewhat timid and afraid, and were eager to speed up their pace.

Hu Xiuwu walked into the depths of the Tushita Palace.
The once bustling Doushuai Palace, filled with the sounds of forging and alchemy, is now eerily quiet. Apart from Golden Horn and Silver Horn, all the other Doushuai Palace disciples have left the palace.

Laozi, with his back to the door, slumped down in front of the purple-gold alchemy furnace.

The Six Ding Divine Fire burned fiercely, and from within the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace came the sounds of wood exploding, metal melting, water and fire clashing, and thunder roaring.
It circulates through the six voids, all laws reside in the mind, and all things and phenomena are fused into the furnace.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn brought Hu Xiuwu to Laozi's presence and then retreated, but Hu Xiuwu did not enter the alchemy room.

The alchemy room in the Tushita Palace could be considered Laozi's personal domain. Stepping into the alchemy room after Laozi had made all the necessary preparations would be tantamount to Laozi putting a sword to Hu Xiuwu's throat.

Hu Xiuwu intends to show respect to Laozi, but that doesn't mean he's willing to walk into a trap.

Without turning his head, Laozi continued fanning himself with his banana leaf fan: "Wait a moment, wait a moment, this batch of pills will be ready soon."

A faint, divine light flashed in Hu Xiuwu's eyes as he calculated what kind of elixir was being refined in Laozi's Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace through the movement and changes of Qi within the alchemy room.

The next moment, the vines on the Spring Nourishing Sword burst into flames, and leaves fluttered down.

Fiery Dragon Riding the Moonlit Sky.

A magnificent sword aura, three thousand feet long and as powerful as a celestial river cascading down, erupted from nothing and surged straight into the alchemy room.

The alchemy room in the Tushita Palace is paved with Hunyuan gold bricks that are impervious to water and fire, swords and spears, and eternally indestructible. The beams and pillars are made of Jianmu wood, which can support the heavens and connect the celestial and mortal realms. The Liuding fire bricks, which can transform into eight hundred miles of flaming mountains when they fall to earth, are casually placed under the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

When Sun Wukong burst out of the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, he wreaked havoc in the alchemy room with his raging anger, but he only managed to kick over the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace and knock a few pieces of Six Ding Fire Bricks down to the mortal world.

Even Sun Wukong couldn't break through the Tushita Palace.

Inside the Tushita Palace, the alchemy room used exclusively by Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) is certainly not an ordinary mortal palace.

However, Hu Xiuwu's sword energy was not ordinary sword energy!
Compared to the sword energy, the alchemy room in the Tushita Palace looked like a small, pitiful thatched hut before the Qiantang River flood.

A strong wind blew by, tearing down the roof and pillars, leaving a scene of utter devastation. In just a short while, the alchemy room, covering an area of ​​a thousand square meters, had been reduced to ruins by the sword energy.

Only Laozi's Taoist robe emitted a soft glow, easily blocking the sword energy and sword aura unleashed by Hu Xiuwu.

Even the runes on the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace were swept away by the sword energy, leaving layer upon layer of marks, and the surface patterns became blurred and indistinct.

The sword energy concealed boundless fire, which heated the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace until it glowed red-hot.

Although the sword energy was intense, it ultimately failed to burn down the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

For Laozi, the Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace was like the Innate Demon Refining Tower to Hu Xiuwu.

It is a handy tool and essential aid for Great Luo Golden Immortals; how could it not be an innate magic treasure?

If innate magical treasures could be broken so easily, Hu Xiuwu would never believe that the Innate Demon Refining Tower could help bridge the gap between him and Laozi and the Jade Emperor.

Moreover, the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace is an alchemy furnace! It withstands the daily scorching heat of the Six Ding Divine Fire without harm, so how could it possibly fear the firepower contained within Hu Xiuwu's sword energy? Hu Xiuwu understood this perfectly well.
Therefore, his move, Guanghan Lingxiao, was not intended to destroy the alchemy room or break the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Rather, it was to intervene in the rising and changing of the five elements within the furnace.

Laozi's alchemy method is almost like the workings of nature, capable of anything.

However, because it is too refined, it cannot withstand any external interference.

Hu Xiuwu was also skilled at using the Innate Demon Refining Tower to assist him in refining magical treasures or creating his own clan. He had also witnessed Laozi refining pills, so he knew this process better than anyone else.

They are also the most aware of the weaknesses in this process.

Boom!
Strange noises emanated from the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, including the sound of something hitting another object, followed by wails, sobs, and curses.

The once serene and sacred Tushita Palace suddenly became eerie and sinister. The spacious courtyard no longer felt warm and comfortable; instead, it felt chilly and desolate.

"Ah~"

With a wave of the banana leaf fan, all the strange noises from the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace dissipated.

Sure enough, after being burned by the Guanghan Lingxiao, the firepower changed, and the circulation of the five elements became unbalanced.

Whatever Lao Tzu was trying to refine, it was already a failure.

Meanwhile, Hu Xiuwu was watching from outside, leaving Laozi no time to patiently adjust the situation inside the furnace, so he could only temporarily extinguish the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Laozi put down his banana leaf fan, gazed at the extinguished purple-gold octagonal furnace, sighed deeply, and said forlornly:

"What a waste of my good pills."

Before the elixir could be successfully refined, Laozi's back became hunched, and his vital energy was completely drained, making him resemble an old man who had burned out.

"I must say, Xiuwu, you seized this opportunity perfectly. The Jade Emperor and I are not yet finished making our preparations."

Hu Xiuwu also exclaimed, "I really didn't expect you to be so ruthless."

Don't be fooled by Lao Tzu's feigned weakness.

Hu Xiuwu saw exactly what that alchemy furnace was.

He saw a pair of bull horns, several people refining elixirs, the temperature of the sun's true fire, and the fragrance of the moon's osmanthus.

The people in the Tushita Palace were not all evacuated; they were thrown into the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace by Laozi and used as candidates to refine the Golden Elixir and Sword Pill.

Other than that,

······
"【The Seven Stars of the Supreme Mysterious Spirit in the Central Heaven bestow the Light of Death】"

In front of the Lingxiao Palace, the Zhou Tian Star Array unleashed its power once again, displaying the array's most destructive secret technique.

After the [Supreme Mysterious Spirit Seven Stars Death-Inflicting Light], which can instantly kill immortals and gods and annihilate Taiyi Golden Immortals, swept across the Heavenly Court's camp.

From the Four Emperors to the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden, not a single person in the Heavenly Court fell!

Nezha, Sun Wukong, and Erlang Shen Yang Jian, who knew the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array best, were all astonished.

"How is this possible!"

Within Flower Fruit Mountain, Prince Zhang, having seen through the threads of cause and effect, slowly exhaled, his tone revealing astonishment at the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Court:

"They are no longer alive!"

"It's just a puppet, so of course it doesn't have a lifespan or the five calamities."
