Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

Haotian!

"hiss--"

The moment the figure was clearly seen, a collective gasp filled the entire Peach Mountain.

Everyone was stunned by Niu Ben's move.

Oh my God!

That's Haotian!

He was personally appointed the Jade Emperor by the Daoist patriarch Hongjun!

He had been secretly observing all along?

Moreover, judging from his disheveled appearance, he was clearly forcibly dragged out of the spatial interlayer by his senior brother!

What a terrifying method this is!

What domineering power this is!

His words became law, his palm shattered the void, and he captured the Heavenly Emperor alive!

What happened in Taoshan today has completely overturned everyone's understanding.

They felt that their brains were no longer sufficient.

"Hao...Haotian?"

Saint Zhunti stared wide-eyed at Haotian, who was being manipulated by Niu Ben.

He finally realized who had tricked him.

You bastard Haotian!

Didn't you say that your Heavenly Court is weak and needs the support of my Western Religion?

Didn't you say you were forced into a corner by Yang Jian?

So you've been hiding on the sidelines watching the show, using my Western Religion as a pawn?

In an instant, Zhunti felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

He wished he could rush up right now and punch Haotian's imposing face twice.

Niu Ben weighed the ball of light that imprisoned Haotian in his hand as if it were an insignificant toy.

He walked up to the dumbfounded Yang Jian and handed him the ball of light.

"Yang Jian".

"Look, your uncle is here, isn't he?"

Yang Jian stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure inside the sphere of light, his expression extremely complex.

This is his maternal uncle.

He was also the culprit who suppressed his mother under Peach Mountain, causing his family to be destroyed.

Within the sphere of light, Haotian also saw Yang Jian.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

The majesty on his face had vanished, replaced by endless terror and regret.

He regretted it.

He really regretted it.

He shouldn't have listened to the nonsense of Western religions and resorted to the scheme of using someone else to kill him.

He shouldn't have continued to hide in the shadows, hoping to reap the benefits after Niu Ben appeared, clinging to wishful thinking.

Now look what happened; instead of becoming the fisherman, he became the fisherman himself.

Niu Ben looked at Haotian's expression and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Junior Brother Haotian."

"You've learned to act the whole way, just like I taught you, and you've done a good job."

"but……"

Niu Ben abruptly changed the subject, his voice turning cold.

"Have you forgotten what I told you back then?"

"You dare to put on airs before me?"

Niu Ben's voice was like the coldest ice in the underworld, instantly causing the temperature on Peach Mountain to drop several degrees.

Haotian, who was imprisoned in the sphere of light, trembled violently upon hearing these words.

He remembered.

He remembered everything.

When Niu Ben appeared silently in the Lingxiao Palace to advise him on how to trick the Western Sect, he did say one thing to him.

"Junior Brother Haotian, just follow the script and act as realistically as possible. Trick those two bald monks from the Western Sect to death."

"But remember, I'm the director of this scene."

"When it's your turn to appear, and when it's your turn to leave, is entirely up to me."

"Don't try to be clever, and don't even think about putting on an act in front of me."

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

At the time, Haotian verbally agreed, but in his heart he didn't really believe it.

He felt that although Niu Ben was strong, he was, after all, the Heavenly Emperor personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, in charge of the Heavenly Court, and represented the face of the Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric world.

Surely Niu Ben wouldn't really disrespect the Heavenly Emperor?

Therefore, when he saw the Western Sect being defeated by the combined forces of the three religions and the Underworld, and Yang Jian being unable to split Mount Peach, he had a wicked idea.

He felt that his opportunity had arrived.

As long as he stays hidden in the shadows and doesn't come out, he will appear as a savior when everyone is helpless against the Heavenly Dao Restriction of Peach Mountain.

At that time, he could not only do Niu Ben a favor, but also subdue his nephew Yang Jian, and demonstrate his authority and benevolence as the Heavenly Emperor to all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Killing three birds with one stone, perfect!

However, despite his meticulous planning, he overlooked one crucial point.

He severely underestimated Niu Ben's strength and overestimated his own standing in Niu Ben's eyes.

face?

Face is nothing in the face of absolute power!

Now, he was pulled out by Niu Ben like a chick and imprisoned in a small ball of light in front of all the immortals of the primordial world.

The majesty of the Heavenly Emperor was shattered into pieces.

His grand plan, which he had been scheming for countless years, has become a joke.

"Brother Niu... I... I was wrong..."

Haotian strained with all his might and finally managed to squeeze out a few words, his voice filled with fear and pleading.

"Now you know you were wrong?"

"If you do that again, be careful, or I'll make sure you can't even sit on your Jade Emperor's throne."

Niu Ben snorted coldly and flicked his finger.

Snapped!

The sphere of light that imprisoned Haotian shattered upon impact.

Haotian regained his freedom.

But Haotian had just regained his freedom and had not yet stood firm when an irresistible force pressed down on his shoulders.

Pfft!

The ruler of the Three Realms, the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, in front of all the immortals of the primordial world, suddenly had his knees buckle and knelt straight down in front of Niu Ben.

"Oh, this..."

The Saint Zhunti, standing in the distance, was completely dumbfounded, his eyes twitching wildly.

Kneeling?

The mighty Heavenly Emperor, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor as the orthodox successor of the Xuanmen, actually knelt down like this?

Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren exchanged a glance, both seeing unparalleled shock in each other's eyes.

They knew that their eldest brother, Niu Ben, was domineering, but they never expected him to be this domineering.

They forced the Heavenly Emperor to kneel!

If this matter were to spread, the entire prehistoric world would be turned upside down.

Niu Ben lowered his eyes and looked down at Haotian, who was kneeling at his feet, his body trembling like a leaf.

"This Peach Mountain is a barrier you set up; surely you know how to break it?"

Haotian didn't dare to raise his head when he heard the question, and responded in a trembling voice.

"Understood! This disciple understands!"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'll release my sister right away!"

He dared not hesitate for a moment, fearing that if he was even half a step too slow, he would follow in the footsteps of Emperor Shenjun.

Haotian suddenly raised his hand.

A large seal, entirely purple-gold in color and adorned with nine golden dragons symbolizing fortune, exuding supreme imperial majesty, slowly rose from the top of his head.

Heavenly Emperor's Seal!

The moment this seal appeared, all immortals submitted, and the laws of the Three Realms became docile before it.

Haotian held the Heavenly Emperor Seal in both hands, raised it high above his head, and roared with all his might.

"In the name of the Heavenly Emperor, I hereby issue this decree!"

"Momoyama Restriction, lifted!"

Rumble!

As he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor Seal unleashed countless rays of divine light, shooting straight towards the indestructible Peach Mountain.

The golden halo that enveloped Peach Mountain, representing the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, emitted a piercing cracking sound like ice and snow under the scorching sun, before rapidly melting away and finally disappearing completely.

That supreme aura of the Heavenly Dao has receded.

At this moment, the entire Peach Mountain transformed back into an ordinary mountain.

"Yang Jian, quickly split the mountain!"

Haotian turned his head and shouted at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian glanced deeply at Haotian kneeling on the ground, his expression complex, but he didn't say anything, only nodded heavily.

He raised the War Axe in his hand once more.

This time, there were no obstacles.

"open!"

With a roar, Yang Jian swung his War God Axe in a perfect arc, carrying all his hopes and obsessions, and cleaved down once more.

boom!

The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!

The enormous Peach Mountain was split in two and slowly collapsed to both sides.

Jagged rocks pierce the sky, and smoke and dust fill the air.

In the center of the split mountain, a figure, whose collarbone was pierced by countless chains, with a faint breath but still peerless beauty, slowly appeared.

Yao Ji.
