Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

He instantly locked onto the attacker! It was the same Shouyang Mountain swordsman who had been severely injured by him in the Sword World and should have been incapacitated!
This person used some kind of secret technique to forcibly suppress his injuries, and even took advantage of the chaos caused by the collapse of the great formation to lie in wait and launch this fatal attack!
"Duobao! Prepare to die!"

The swordsman landed a successful blow, though he failed to seriously injure Duobao, he did tear Duobao's sleeve, and his eyes were filled with madness and pleasure!
He knew he was no match for Duobao and was now prepared to die!

He suddenly formed a hand seal and spat out a mouthful of blood essence!

"Geng Metal breaks through the void! Slash!"

The originally dull and lackluster natal flying sword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling dark golden light under the stimulation of the essence blood!

Countless mysterious runes lit up on the sword's blade!

A terrifying sword intent that could tear through space and annihilate all laws suddenly erupted!
The flying sword transformed into a dark golden rainbow that tore through the chaos, carrying the sword cultivator's life cultivation and essence power, and once again fiercely slashed down towards Daoist Duobao's brow!
This sword strike was even more powerful than it had been in the world of swords! It carried a resolute determination to destroy everything in its path!

"Man and sword become one! All laws are broken!"

The sword cultivator roared and transformed into a stream of light, merging into the dark golden sword rainbow!
He merged his body with the sword, burning away his soul, essence, blood, and even his foundation of cultivation, transforming them into this final strike!
Wherever the sword rainbow passed, even the collapsing fragments of space were instantly annihilated!

Faced with this desperate attack that condensed the life essence of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal sword cultivator, Daoist Duobao remained completely unmoved.

He didn't even dodge; he simply watched the sword rainbow tearing through the chaos approach.

"The mantis' arm is like a chariot."

He uttered four words. Immediately, an ancient shield, entirely black, its surface engraved with countless star trails and radiating a deep starlight, appeared out of thin air before him!

clang--!
The dark gold sword slashed fiercely at the Star Shield!

It produced a deafening clang of metal against metal!

The violent sword energy and the power of the stars collided violently! Space shattered inch by inch!
However, the sword rainbow that was powerful enough to pierce through the stars seemed to have crashed into an ancient divine mountain, only stirring up a faint ripple on the surface of the star shield before it could not advance any further!

Stars swirled on the shield, easily dissolving and absorbing that destructive power!
"what?!"

The sword cultivator who merged into the sword rainbow let out an incredulous roar!

His life-or-death strike was blocked so easily?!

Daoist Duobao's eyes were indifferent as he flicked his left finger.
A crimson pearl, wreathed in blazing solar fire, instantly appeared behind the sword rainbow! Upon the pearl, the phantom of a three-legged golden crow spread its wings and cried out!
The true fire of the sun erupted with a roar! It transformed into a golden sea of ​​fire that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, instantly engulfing the dark golden sword rainbow!

"what--!"

A piercing scream rang out!

The dark golden sword rainbow melted rapidly under the scorching heat of the sun's true fire!
The sword cultivator fell out of the sword rainbow, his body charred black, barely breathing, and his eyes filled with despair!
Daoist Duobao didn't even glance at the dying swordsman, his gaze calmly fixed on the depths of the void, as if waiting for something.

He slowly raised his right hand, extended two fingers, and pinched the dark gold flying sword that was still floating in the air from afar!
"Here comes the sword."

A calm voice rang out. In an instant, the initiative in the entire battle was firmly grasped by Daoist Duobao!

Duobao Daoist used two fingers to pinch the dark gold flying sword, which trembled violently and emitted a piercing wail, but could not break free even slightly.

The sword cultivator's divine soul imprint remaining on the sword was completely obliterated amidst a desperate roar. The flying sword's spiritual light dimmed, and it turned into ordinary iron, falling to the dust.

"Xuandu!"

Daoist Duobao's gaze was like lightning, piercing through the churning mist, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable penetrating power.

"Hiding your head and revealing your tail is not the behavior of a saint! Come out! Fight me fair and square!"

Deep within the array domain, chaotic currents surged, and the worlds of dust were constantly being created and destroyed, yet there was no response whatsoever.

The figure of Grand Master Xuandu seemed to merge into this chaos, his aura elusive and hard to find. He was clearly determined to avoid battle and only use the power of the great formation to wear down Duobao.

"Hmph! You think you can do anything to me by hiding?"

A cold glint flashed in Duobao Daoist's eyes, and he said no more.

He formed hand seals, and a burst of pure light emanated from his body!
A terrifying bolt of lightning, extremely powerful and yang, containing the will to destroy all laws and cleanse evil spirits, condensed in his palm!

"Shangqing Divine Thunder! Break!"

Boom——!
A massive, dragon-like bolt of divine lightning, crackling with purple electricity and radiating divine might, tore through the misty air and slammed into the barrier of the array!

Wherever the divine lightning passed, the chaotic energy was forcibly pushed aside, and the microscopic worlds were destroyed one after another!
A temporary passage, opened up by pure destructive power, was formed in an instant!
At the end of the passage, the real world beyond the array domain can be vaguely seen!

Daoist Duobao stepped on a green lotus and was about to rush out through the passage!

"Formation Shift! Heaven and Earth Lock!"

Just then, Xuandu's icy voice finally rang out! As his words fell, the entire Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array trembled violently!
The passage blasted open by the Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder was instantly submerged by the surging chaotic airflow!

Even more terrifying, the misty aura permeating the entire array transformed into thick, heavy gray currents containing the laws of spatial confinement, surging wildly towards Daoist Duobao from all directions!
These gray currents are not physical attacks, but manifestations of the fundamental laws of the grand formation!
Ignoring the protective aura of the Azure Lotus, they directly coiled around Daoist Duobao, like maggots clinging to his bones, frantically eroding his protective immortal light!

An extremely heavy force of spatial confinement suddenly descended, as if to freeze and lock Duobao Daoist and the space around him together in this chaos!

The light on the blue lotus beneath Daoist Duobao's feet fluctuated violently, groaning as if it could not bear the weight!
His forward momentum froze instantly, as if he were stuck in quagmire, unable to move an inch!

“Junior Brother Duobao, this formation was created by Senior Uncle Taiqing. It contains the mechanism of the world’s birth and death and cannot be broken by brute force.”

The figure of Grand Master Xuandu slowly coalesced amidst the swirling mist, still a blurry phantom, his voice carrying a condescending admonition.

"Your skills are profound, but once you enter this formation, you are already a turtle in a jar. Why resist stubbornly?"
"Why not stop here and withdraw from this formation? I will inform my master, and out of consideration for our shared sect, I will allow you to leave. The conflict between the Chan and Jie sects is destined to be decided by fate; why should you insist on intervening and causing unnecessary casualties?"

"Give up? Fate?" Daoist Duobao's body was surrounded by clear light as he desperately resisted the erosion of the spatial confinement power. He raised his head and looked at the illusory figure of Xuandu, his lips curled into an undisguised sarcasm.

"Senior Brother Xuandu, you keep talking about destiny, yet you collude with the Chan Sect and aid the tyrant! The Ji clan of Xiqi is nothing more than a regional lord. What virtue or ability do they have to claim that they are ordained by Heaven? The Great Shang Dynasty has been established for six hundred years, inheriting the destiny of humanity and ruling over all people. It is the true orthodox human race!"
As the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect and in charge of the Human Sect, you should be protecting humanity and discerning right from wrong! Yet now you aid the Chan Sect, committing perverse acts and slaughtering humanity! Do you still have even a shred of the Human Sect's doctrines in your heart?! Do you still have even a shred of humanity's conscience?!

His voice suddenly turned fierce, like a thunderclap from the heavens, each word piercing the heart.

"You claim to be guided by the will of Heaven, but in reality, you are merely using the name of Heaven to deceive the world, steal fame, and betray humanity! What difference is there between you and the Primordial Celestial Venerable?! You are even more despicable!"
At least his Chan Sect still uses the guise of following the will of Heaven! But your Human Sect has long forgotten its founding principles! Forgot its original intention of educating all beings and protecting humanity! You... are simply not fit to lead the Human Sect!

"shut up!"

The illusory image of Xuandu fluctuated violently, its blurred face seemingly filled with uncontrollable rage.

"Duobao! Stop talking nonsense! The destruction of Shang by Xiqi was ordained by Heaven! The changing of the tides of human destiny is also ordained by Heaven! How dare you interfere?! I am acting on my master's orders to uphold the order of Heaven, what wrong have I done?!"

"Predestined destiny? Or the changing of the human race?"

Daoist Duobao burst into laughter, his laughter filled with grief, indignation, and disdain.

"What a celestial order! What a cycle of human change!"
"Xuan Du! Open your eyes wide and look! Look at the city of Xiqi! Look at the Shang soldiers slaughtered by the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect! Look at the hundreds of millions of people displaced by the war! Is this the Heavenly Way you speak of?! Is this the order you uphold?!"

He suddenly waved his hand, pointing outside the array, as if piercing through space and seeing the scene of devastation.

"The rise and fall of the human race should be decided by the human race itself! When did it become the turn of the high and mighty saints to use the so-called 'destiny' as a pretext to manipulate life and death and slaughter living beings?!"

You, Xuandu! As the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, in charge of the Human Sect, instead of protecting humanity, you aid and abet evil, becoming a tool for the saints to slaughter humanity! You... are unworthy of being the leader of the Human Sect! Unworthy of being the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect!

"today!"

Daoist Duobao's voice was resolute and filled with unwavering determination.

"I, Duobao, here and now, sever all ties with you, Xuandu! From this day forward, there will be no more brotherhood within the Xuanmen! You walk your own narrow path to heaven! I, the Jie Sect, will fight for that sliver of life for all my Jie Sect members!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Duobao pointed his right hand like a sword and slashed it across his left sleeve, revealing his Daoist robe!
A crisp tearing sound rang out!
The left sleeve of the blue Taoist robe snapped off with a snap!

A piece of sleeve fluttered down and was instantly pulverized in the churning, chaotic air!
"you……!"

The illusory figure of Xuandu trembled violently, its blurred face filled with shock, anger, and disbelief! Severing ties! This was a signal of a complete break! How dare Duobao do this!

"Noisy!"

Daoist Duobao's eyes flashed with cold light, giving Xuandu no chance to speak!

He flicked his left finger!
A condensed bolt of celestial lightning, imbued with the will to destroy evil, instantly tore through space and slammed into Xuan Du's blurry phantom!

puff--!
Before Xuan Du's phantom could even utter a scream, it was instantly blasted apart by the immortal lightning, turning into streaks of light and disappearing into the misty aura!
"Duobao—!!!"

From the depths of the array, came a roar from Grand Master Xuandu, a roar that was suppressed to the extreme but filled with boundless rage!
The voice was no longer cold or indifferent, but filled with the fury of being humiliated, betrayed, and utterly enraged!

"you wanna die!!"

Xuan Du's voice was like that of a wounded wild beast.

"Since you insist on seeking death, I will grant your wish! I will show you the true power of the Two Elements Dust Array!"

The entire array suddenly froze!
Immediately, an unprecedentedly terrifying pressure, like a sleeping ancient beast fully awakening, descended with a thunderous roar!

At the center of the array, the Taiqing Divine Talisman that had been integrated into the array's core suddenly erupted with dazzling chaotic divine light!
On the surface of the divine talisman, an incomparably profound rune slowly lit up, as if some ancient seal had been broken!

A vast and boundless power, seemingly originating from the very source of the Great Dao, containing the power to create the world and obliterate all laws, surged wildly from the Taiqing Divine Talisman!

Instantly injected into the entire Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array!

Click!Click!
Within the array domain, space itself groaned under the unbearable pressure!

The swirling, misty energy instantly solidified, transforming into chaotic crystal walls!

The rate at which dust particles are created and destroyed suddenly increases by billions of times!
Countless tiny worlds are born in an instant, and then vanish in an instant!
Each birth and death unleashes terrifying energy powerful enough to tear apart a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
The chaotic energy transformed into a tangible storm of destruction, and the four fundamental forces of earth, water, fire, and wind went completely berserk, colliding and annihilating each other!
The entire array seemed to have transformed into a real universe that was heading towards its end and returning to chaos!
An overwhelming pressure, ten or even a hundred times greater than before and enough to make even a quasi-saint city tremble, crashed down like an invisible sky!

The light on the blue lotus beneath Duobao Daoist's feet dimmed instantly, and it let out a mournful cry!
The resilient protective aura surrounding him flickered violently, as if it might go out at any moment!

For the first time, Daoist Duobao's expression became extremely solemn!
He clearly sensed that the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array was completely different from before!
It is no longer just a formation, but more like a real world that has been fully activated by the will of a sage and is heading towards its end!
Its power is almost as great as a sage personally taking action!
A true life-or-death crisis has arrived!
The Daoist Duobao's body was surrounded by violently fluctuating clear light as he struggled to hold on amidst the raging chaotic storm.

He could clearly sense that what was enveloping him now was no longer a simple array space!

Each wisp of that churning chaotic energy contained the complete laws of space!
That ever-changing world of dust, each one carries a real fragment of time and space!
The raging earth, water, fire, and wind—each one manifested the power of the primordial source!

After the Taiqing Divine Talisman was unsealed and the Sage's power was fully activated, this array domain has evolved into a nearly complete, law-sounding... miniature primordial world!

Its stability is a hundred times greater than before!
"Shangqing Divine Thunder! Break!"

Without hesitation, Daoist Duobao once again condensed the most powerful and yang-like Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder and fiercely blasted it towards the viscous, tangible mist that sealed off space!

Boom——!
The purple lightning dragon roared out, tearing through the chaos!
However, this time, the terrifying lightning, powerful enough to shatter ordinary worlds, struck the misty aura and merely stirred up a faint ripple before being silently decomposed, devoured, and annihilated by the chaotic energy containing complete spatial laws! Not even a crack was left!

"What a wondrous Yin-Yang dust! It has evolved into a world, forming its own universe!"

Daoist Duobao felt a chill run down his spine; the power of this great formation was beyond what brute force could break!

He must find its core array point, or the flaw in its operation! (End of Chapter)
