Chapter 913 The Great Luo Laojun, the Paper Tiger of Tushita Heaven

"The Vajra Bracelet? The Tai Chi diagram?"

Hu Xiuwu once again marveled at Laozi's creative power and the wonder of his refining abilities.

He sent the Vajra Bracelet and the Taiji Diagram into the alchemy furnace. Even though the alchemy failed, this Golden Core Demon still possessed the combat power of a Great Luo Immortal, which was truly incredible.

If Hu Xiuwu hadn't interrupted Laozi's alchemy at the last moment, who knows how powerful this Golden Core Guardian would have been when the elixir was completed.

'Although we don't yet have the advantage of geographical location and popular support, the timing is definitely on our side.'

Hu Xiuwu pondered to himself.

Both Laozi and the Jade Emperor can intervene in the Heavenly Way to a certain extent, and even receive assistance from it.

This is because they share the same origin as the Heavenly Way, and both are born with the innate authority brought about by the power of the Serpent God.

However, although they come from the same source, their interests are not aligned; even brothers can have disagreements, and fathers and sons can turn against each other.

Laozi and the Jade Emperor are enriching themselves by absorbing the essence of the Three Realms; aren't they harming the Way of Heaven to benefit themselves?

However, Laozi and the Jade Emperor obtained more power from the snake god, and the Heavenly Dao is vast, broad, and ruthless, lacking the true feelings of living beings, and therefore did not directly express their dissatisfaction with Laozi and the Jade Emperor.

However, in maintaining the order of the Three Realms, it uses grand destiny and karma to turn against Laozi and the Jade Emperor.

The power of a Great Immortal is already sufficient to control cause and effect and intervene in destiny.

The instinctive counterattacks of Heaven alone were no match for Laozi and the Jade Emperor.

They remain the rulers of the Three Realms, high above the Thirty-Six Heavens.

However, ever since Hu Xiuwu took over the underworld, reorganized the order of yin and yang, and strengthened the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao has naturally shown some favoritism towards the Flower Fruit Mountain lineage.

The fact that Hu Xiuwu was able to break into the Tushita Palace on the eve of Laozi's successful crafting of his magic weapon may well be due to the workings of fate and karma.

"But why would Laozi forge such a magical treasure?" Hu Xiuwu held the divine sword Chunzi in his hand. With each swing of the sword, sword energy filled the heavens and earth, sword intent replaced the will of heaven, and sword heart acted in place of the will of heaven.

The Thirty-Six Heavens, specifically the Great Luo Heaven, transformed into the Spring Nourishing Sword Domain, staining the Tushita Palace with the deep colors of Luo Feng Heaven.

Hu Xiuwu seized control of the Great Luo Heaven and trapped the Golden Core Evil Ghost within the Sword Domain.

Only Laozi could guarantee that within the three-foot-square space, the essence of the Tushita Heaven remained, untouched by the Youyue Sword Technique: Guanghan Lingxiao.

This is what Hu Xiuwu didn't understand.

Instead of refining a pet with the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, why not refine an offensive magic weapon like the [Spirit Coffin Thunder Sound] to strengthen one's own power, just like Hu Xiuwu, who wielded two innate magic weapons and could even slay the Buddha Tathagata with his sword?

Hu Xiuwu is unaware of the truth for the time being, and will only know the truth once he defeats the Golden Core Demon.

The intent of the Immortal Slayer Sword rose and scattered in all directions.

Hu Xiuwu watched as countless worlds vanished into the void, saw the divine tree supporting the six realms collapse with a roar, and the six worlds descend into chaos; he saw the ancient outer gods, with their vast and boundless bodies and near-infinite lifespans, crumble before his eyes.

After witnessing countless scenes of destruction, Hu Xiuwu created this technique solely for destruction and annihilation.

Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Demons - Immortal Slaughtering Order
Hu Xiuwu roared: "Severing Yin and Yang across the Nine Heavens and Three Realms, a Sword Immortal reigns supreme in the Six Paths and Ten Directions! Slaughtering across the Nine Provinces, commanding Heaven and Earth! So be it!"

The four swords of annihilation and annihilation locked down the four directions of east, south, west, and north respectively, and the four kinds of destructive sword energy spread into the sword formation from the four directions, turning the sword domain into a doomsday area.

It is neither copper, nor iron, nor steel; it was once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru.

Without reversing Yin and Yang to refine it, how can one lack the tempering of water and fire to hone its sharpness?

The slaying of immortals brings death and destruction; the trapping of immortals brings forth a red glow everywhere.

The Immortal's transformations are infinitely wondrous, even the blood of a Great Immortal stains their robes. A black and red sword aura, capable of devouring even light, roams freely within the domain.

The Golden Core Demon's skin is like tree bark, mottled and rough, but it possesses the defensive power of an innate magic weapon, making it impervious to all spells.

However, it was still difficult to withstand the destructive power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

However, every time the Four Swords of Zhuxian pierce the skin of the Golden Core Demon, opening a path of destruction towards its muscles and bones, towards its dantian and primordial spirit...

Within the body of the Golden Core Evil Ghost, the innate Yin and Yang energies rose. As Yin and Yang rotated and the Great Dao was worn away, the world-destroying sword energy of the Four Swords of Zhuxian was completely eliminated.

Only the laws of the Great Luo can contend against the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This Golden Core evil spirit only reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in terms of physical body and magical power.

However, without comprehending the Dao Fruit, he could not possibly have such a high level of mastery of Tai Chi Yin Yang.

He was able to achieve this level entirely thanks to Laozi's signature magic weapon within his body.

Tai Chi symbol!
This innate magic treasure is renowned throughout the Three Realms. It is Laozi's signature magic treasure, an all-encompassing treasure that can split the earth and open the heavens, separate the pure from the impure, and stabilize the earth, water, fire, and wind.

In legend, it was once unleashed and transformed into a golden bridge, instantly turning a Taiyi Golden Immortal to ashes. It also once resisted the Zhuxian Sword Formation of Lingbao Tianzun.

This time, Hu Xiuwu's version of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Taiji Diagram within the Golden Core Evil Ghost's body are also locked in a standoff.

But this time, Hu Xiuwu's [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] gained the upper hand.

The Golden Core Demon was only struggling within Hu Xiuwu's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation by relying on the Taiji Diagram, without ever touching Hu Xiuwu's side.

Laozi, observing from the side, couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "It's still a little short of perfection; the Golden Elixir hasn't reached its full potential."

The Golden Core Demon ultimately failed to produce a Golden Core, and the Taiji Diagram did not merge with this Great Luo Divine Body to achieve a state of perfect unity.

Unable to fully unleash the power of the Tai Chi diagram.

Lao Tzu waved his whisk and said, "Since you couldn't seize the opportunity I gave you, don't blame me."

Golden light faintly emerged from the body of the Golden Core Evil Demon, growing increasingly intense, scorching its muscles and tearing its skin.

In the end, the entire Golden Core Evil Ghost melted in the golden light and became part of the [Tai Chi Diagram].

The Tai Chi symbol has transformed into a golden bridge that connects heaven and earth, linking yin and yang.

The golden bridge is adorned with white jade, surrounded by rays of light and auspicious colors. Prophecies of the Great Way surround the bridge, and celestial talismans are hidden within it.

The Golden Core Demon merged into the Golden Bridge, and a sutra-lecturing mural of the Great Luo Heaven Tushita Palace was added to the bridge's railings.

The painting depicts Laozi reclining on a meditation cushion, preaching the sutras, with 108 Daoist boys studying attentively below. A green ox with flat horns is also seen grazing on herbs in the jade herb garden of the Tushita Palace. In the clouds, a crane immortal in a Daoist robe leads auspicious white birds, all listening intently to Laozi's sermon.

If the Golden Core Evil Demon as the main body cannot defeat Hu Xiuwu, then integrate the Golden Core Evil Demon into the [Tai Chi Diagram].

Using the Tai Chi symbol as the main element, enhance the power of the Tai Chi symbol.

The white jade bridge formed by the Tai Chi diagram can stabilize the earth's feng shui and fire elements, harmonize yin and yang, and create the world.

The Four Swords of Zhuxian can destroy the world and bring all things back to silence.

Creation confronts destruction, just as yin and yang, good and evil, are mutually opposed yet equally matched!
Faced with the perplexing Tai Chi diagram, Hu Xiuwu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Hahaha, the famous Laozi!"

"It's just a paper tiger!"
