Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 736 Refining and Killing
Within the realm of Brahma, the three gods and three saints fought an increasingly fierce battle.

The four celestial beings focused their gazes, and all the deities gathered their eyes to witness this scene.

The wind howled, and the world trembled.

Thunder roared, and the sky and earth seemed to turn upside down.

Lightning flashed across the red silk, and fire soared through the clouds.

The sun and moon swayed, and the earth crumbled.

The wind howled and the heavens and earth shattered, the thunder startled gods and ghosts into hiding, the lightning terrified immortals and Buddhas, and the fog confused even the most holy spirits. It was truly a scene of: "Mountains were pushed and rocks were turned, pines and bamboos were uprooted, the fierce wind was awe-inspiring and startling, the golden snakes flowed across the sky and illuminated the fields, spreading and obscuring the nine heavens!"

War, war, war, chaos, chaos, the war will never stop until the dead are wiped out!
The world of Brahma was violently shaken by this war.

The Brahma gods suffered countless casualties, like fish in a pond.

The power of the Great Dao and the abilities of celestial beings are evident!
The four celestial beings outside watched intently, remaining silent and focused on Xu Yang, who had yet to make a move.

They knew that the key to this battle lay here.

Although the three extraterrestrial saints were incredibly powerful, even in the Brahma world they could rival the three-phase gods who had the home-field advantage, they were only evenly matched and could not break the deadlock or determine the outcome of the battle.

Therefore, the key lies outside the Brahma world, in the presence of the religious leader who possesses a divine mandate and wields great power.

How can he win?

To join the battle?

It's not that simple. Although the three extraterrestrial saints are incredibly powerful and can hold their own against the three-phase god who has the home advantage, or even have a slight advantage, this slight advantage cannot be completely converted into victory.

Even if he were to join the battle as the fourth Celestial Immortal, it would only expand this advantage. It would still be unrealistic to suppress or even kill the Three-Phase God.

After all, those three gods still possess a method that can transcend the limits of heaven and unleash the power of a Golden Immortal.

This is an insurmountable obstacle. Without equal strength to counter it, the slight advantage gained at this moment is like a dream, and could be shattered at any time by the Triad God's desperate counterattack.

So, what does he rely on, and what means does he have to overcome this obstacle?
The immortals were unaware, and the gods were clueless; they could only watch anxiously.

Xu Yang remained calmly seated in his Dao Palace, showing no sign of taking any action.

As time went by, the war situation developed.

Finally...

"boom!!!"

Xu Yang unleashed a punch, displaying the power of creation once again. His divine martial battle body and Pangu's true form severely damaged the Great Brahma Lord, causing him to spurt blood. Most of his divine body was shattered, and his four hands and eight arms were reduced to ashes. Although he did not perish directly, he was on the verge of death.

"Woo!!!"

Within the Ocean of Milk, upon the bed of snakes, Vishnu, witnessing Brahma's defeat, sharpened his gaze and immediately shook the Ocean of Milk in his hand, transforming the power of preservation into the power of creation, intending to help Brahma be reborn and continue to delay the battle.

But unexpectedly, in the instant he divided his strength, Tai Shang switched from defense to offense, and a Tai Chi diagram appeared from his sleeve. The diagram contained everything: Wuji gave birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi transformed into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang evolved into the Three Powers, the Three Powers formed the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols transformed into the Five Elements, the Five Elements formed the Six Harmonies, the Six Harmonies determined the Seven Stars, the Seven Stars produced the Eight Trigrams, the Eight Trigrams connected to the Nine Palaces, and in an instant it enveloped the Ocean of Milk, blocking Vishnu's external support.

On the other side, seeing that Vishnu's help was blocked and Brahma's situation was in imminent danger, Shiva, the Lord of Freedom, who was fighting fiercely with the Three Pure Ones, also wanted to break through the situation. His eight avatars merged into one in an instant, and the Eye of Destruction was opened with a roar.

however……

"boom!!!"

The Eye of Destruction, a beam of divine light, Xu Yang subdued the Three Pure Ones, leaving only auspicious clouds atop his head, and golden light shone forth, creating ten thousand golden lotuses.

The two sides clashed, auspicious clouds rolled, and a golden lotus fell, but that was all. The Celestial Venerable was unharmed and had Shiva entangled, giving him no chance to help.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yang launched another fierce attack with his Divine Martial Body. Ignoring the depletion of his martial body's Dao Yuan, he unleashed another Heaven-Opening Heavy Fist, aiming to completely extinguish the Brahma Life Flame.

Right here...

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the world changed drastically. The three gods in the midst of the battle suddenly broke free. Vishnu burst out of the Taiji diagram, Shiva also pierced through the heavenly clouds, and even Brahma, who was severely injured and on the verge of death, transformed into a lotus flower and departed.

In an instant, the three phases broke free from the battle and transformed into three beams of light, converging between heaven and earth, causing a violent upheaval in the Brahma world. The sun, moon, stars, plants, mountains, rivers, temples, palaces, humans, animals, and even the surviving gods all transformed into streams of light and flowed toward it.

"This……"

"No!"

"Lord!"

"do not want!"

Upon seeing this, all the gods of Brahma screamed in terror, and the immortals outside the realm were also horrified and held their breath.

"The final stage is complete!"

Seeing this, Xu Yang's three bodies did not intervene, but instead retreated and withdrew directly from the Brahma Realm.

At the same time that the three saints withdrew, all things in the Brahma realm transformed into primordial spirits, and the heavens and earth became pure and turbid energies, flowing into the center of the world like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, the place where the three aspects converged.

"Has it finally come to this?"

Seeing this, the four celestial beings outside the battlefield also became vigilant and prepared for battle.

Three phases combined into one!

Among the various pantheons of the Blue Star Realm, the Brahma Triad is arguably the strongest.

The reason for this is that the three aspects of Brahma originate from the same source. They are the reincarnations of a primordial deity who died before the creation of the Blue Star Realm. If the three pure beings of Pangu and the three Buddhas of Brahma in the Xuanhuang Realm could unite as one, return to their origin, and unleash the power of the Golden Immortal's creation of the Dao.

This Brahma world originated from this. The small worlds opened up by ordinary celestial immortals are at most of the middle thousand level, but the Brahma world opened up by the three of them and their combined efforts is infinitely close to the Great Thousand. It can even devour the Blue Star Main World to grow. If it weren't for the major pantheons' intentional suppression and joint restriction, they would probably have already devoured the Main World and become Golden Immortals.

Therefore, in ancient times, the golden immortal demon fruit that Mara sent became a turning point in the situation. Various pantheons fought a great battle over it, but in the end they were no match for the Three-Phase God. The Three-Phase God used the method of unifying the three phases to seize most of the demon fruit, creating the situation we have today.

At this moment, they used the same trick again, merging into one, and even drawing upon the origin of the Brahma world. This created a unified three-phase entity with extremely abundant power, capable of unleashing several attacks at the level of a Golden Immortal.

Clearly, they had been driven to the brink of despair and were now filled with murderous intent, determined to annihilate their enemy.

Seeing this, Xu Yang did not stop them, but simply withdrew his three bodies from Brahma, and the four saints gathered and stood in the four directions.

So and so...

"Boom!"

The world of Brahma trembled violently. The light of the three phases converged into one, gradually revealing a deity. It was formed from the combined forms of Vishnu and Shiva, half of it in the form of Vishnu and half in the form of Shiva. Each of its four arms held a weapon, the Vishvaka, amidst lightning and thunder. Furthermore, a lotus flower emerged from its belly, revealing the image of Brahma.

It is indeed—Hari Haro!
Maha Boundless, Maha Boundless, the primordial deity born from the Blue Star Realm in the past, the original form of the Brahma Trinity God, possessing infinite power.

He sat in the realm of Brahma, maintaining control over the entire world. At the center of his head, formed by the merging of Shiva and Vishnu, a vertical line pulsed and transformed into an eye that shot forth a devastating divine light, striking directly at the saints beyond the realm. "Ha!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Yang smiled, sat in the Heavenly Palace, raised his hand and threw out an object, which was a formation diagram containing the Heaven-Opening Talisman. In an instant, it merged with the Great Dao of Blue Star, mobilizing the origin of this Great Thousand World.

In this vast world, in terms of rank alone, there are twelve levels, equivalent to Golden Immortals, possessing boundless power. However, since the world is without a master, it is difficult to act automatically and requires guidance, such as the Heavenly Emperor Qiong Gao of the Xuanhuang Realm, to unleash this power.

Xu Yang has created a great force to slay demons and now holds great power. Although his power is not as great as Qiong Gao in the Xuanhuang Realm due to the division and entrenched positions of the various pantheons, he can still barely mobilize the primordial power of the Blue Star Realm.

and so……

Xu Yang threw out the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram. The Golden Immortal Treasure and the Great Dao merged, and the source power of heaven and earth moved accordingly, adding to the bodies of the Four Saints of Ten Thousand Paths.

The four saints said little, each taking out a sword, which instantly merged into a formation, trapping the Brahma world and the three-in-one Harihara within it.

"This is……"

"The Treasure of Creation?"

"An item belonging to a Golden Immortal?"

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, and the four celestial immortals were speechless, staring in utter horror at the swords in the hands of the four saints.

The Treasure of Creation!

An item belonging to a Golden Immortal!

They actually have something to rely on?

No wonder, no wonder...

"Boom!"

Before they could recover from their shock and horror, they saw the Immortal Slayer Formation, with the four swords displaying the elements of earth, wind, fire, and water, simultaneously refining the world of Brahma.

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

Without refining by inverting yin and yang, there would be no water and fire to temper the edge.

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

The changes of the immortals are endless and wonderful, and the clothes of the great gods are stained with blood.

……

"Boom!"

Earth, wind, fire, and water surged in all directions. What appeared to be four swords forming an array was in reality a fusion of heaven and earth. Driven by the power of the origin of the Great Thousand Worlds, this treasure created by the Supreme Golden Immortal was powered by the sword energy of earth, wind, fire, and water, which crisscrossed and shattered the inner world of Brahma. The three phases of Harihara, which had become one, roared angrily.

The wondrous wheel of vision, the gada pestle, and the wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, all struck out from the realm, each strike transcending the boundaries of celestial beings, each strike possessing the power to create the Dao.

However, it's useless, useless, utterly useless!
Within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, all laws cease, and everything is merely a dying struggle, making it difficult for even the Great Dao Golden Immortal to break through.

And so it went, for an unknown period of time, until the realm of Brahma finally vanished. Harihara let out a mournful cry, lost his form, and transformed into a golden lotus, its light shimmering and trembling, already in dire straits.

"what!!!"

Another mournful cry came from nowhere, and the golden lotus changed instantly, turning black, and thousands of faces appeared inside, struggling in pain.

"This is……"

"Moro!"

"Marsh!"

Upon seeing this, the four celestial beings exclaimed in shock once again.

Is that Golden Immortal Dao truly a fake Heavenly Demon?
Even the Triad God was corrupted and seized by it; what about the other pantheon lords and celestial beings who obtained the fragments of the Demon Fruit back then...?

The immortals and gods were speechless, utterly horrified, and filled with remorse.

But by then, realizing this is too late, and it's even harder to change the established course of events.

Four swords forge the Brahma, slaying immortals and demons!
And so it went, for an unknown period of time...

"boom!!!"

The world of Brahma has vanished, the golden lotus stained by demons has turned to ashes, all has disappeared, only the Tao remains.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Yang also recited the inscription, feeling grateful for the Dao Ancestor's assistance. He then moved all four of his bodies simultaneously, retracting the four swords of the Immortal Slaughtering Technique. The chaotic earth, wind, fire, and water subsided, and the Immortal Slaughtering Technique, which was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, also appeared. Xu Yang then casually withdrew it.

"..."

"..."

"..."

When the Buddha perished, the three phases of existence collapsed.

Mara was slain, and Pārma perished.

In the heavens beyond, all the immortals were dead silent, and all the gods were speechless.

"Amitabha!"

In the end, it was the Vulture Buddha who reacted first, stepping down from the Kunpeng and coming to the front of the formation. He said to Xu Yang and the other four, "We have committed grave sins and almost helped the demon escape its tribulation. We beg the Heavenly Venerables to punish us!"

Xu Yang glanced at him but did not take any action. Instead, he turned his gaze to Taiyi Tianzun and the two Western gods behind him: "Exterminate the demons completely and show no mercy. Within three hundred years, all sects are to offer their explanations. Anyone who disobeys will be considered an accomplice of the demons and will be punished by heaven and earth without exception!"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals and gods paled.

As expected, they seized the opportunity to turn their attention to the various pantheons.

but……

"Follow the law!"

Taiyi Tianzun sighed, then solemnly agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The opponent possesses the treasure of the Golden Immortal's creation of the Dao, and also holds the power of destiny and controls the world. Even powerful figures like Harikara and Mara Papiyas were killed by his sword and died in battle. How could these Heavenly Immortals, who have no Golden Immortal power, possibly resist him?
The tide of events rolls on like a wheel.

Those who follow the way prosper, those who oppose it perish.
