Primordial Era: A man at the mouth of the Guanjiang River marries the Third Holy Mother.

He glanced at Nezha with gentle eyes, flicked his finger and released a pure burst of life force, instantly healing the injuries in Li Muzha's body.

Then, Chen Changsheng turned around, his cold gaze falling on Taiyi Zhenren.

He threw straight at them in plain language.

"Taiyi, it's only been a few days. Your Chan Sect people haven't improved in skill, but they've certainly become incredibly audacious."

Chen Changsheng remained calm, his hands clasped behind his back: "You dare to try and steal the disciple I've chosen?"

The moment Chen Changsheng arrived, Taiyi Zhenren was so overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure of the half-step Hunyuan realm that he couldn't straighten his back.

His bones were creaking, his legs were trembling uncontrollably, and he almost knelt down on the spot.

This is an absolute suppression from realm and strength!

But the thought of the innate treasure hidden in his sleeve instantly replaced the fear in Taiyi Zhenren's heart with a morbid madness.

He bit his tongue hard, using the excruciating pain to forcefully straighten his spine.

"Chen Changsheng! Stop playing tricks!"

Taiyi Zhenren roared hysterically, his voice shrill: "You think that just because you've become a half-step Hunyuan, no one in the Three Realms can subdue you?"

"The Investiture of the Gods is ordained by Heaven. Lingzhu is destined to join our Chan Sect and become a great general of Xiqi!"

"You dared to defy fate and seize the destiny of humanity. Today, the Jade Purity Saint has issued a decree, which marks your death!"

When Chen Changsheng heard this, it was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"I don't know when the time of Yuanshi Tianzun's death will come, but I know that your death is today."

A murderous intent flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes, and he raised his hand to slap the air.

The Great Dao Thunder transformed into a gigantic purple-gold hand that blotted out the sky, carrying a violent power capable of shattering stars, and slammed down on Taiyi Zhenren's forehead!

If this palm strike lands solidly, let alone Taiyi Zhenren being a Daluo Jinxian, even if he were a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, his physical body would instantly turn into a blood mist!

Taiyi Zhenren felt the destructive aura coming from above, but instead of fleeing, he revealed a crazed grin on his face.

"Chen Changsheng, you've fallen for their trap!"

"Today I'll show you what a true Heavenly Treasure is!"

"Please summon the sacred treasure! Suppress this demon!"

Taiyi Zhenren roared to the sky, reached into his wide sleeve with his right hand, and yanked it open with force!

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth, a sound that shattered one's very soul.

A simple, ancient banner, its entire body flowing with endless gray, chaotic light, was held high in the hands of the Taiyi Zhenren.

The moment the banner unfurled, the void beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens collapsed with a deafening roar, and the sky above Chen Tang Pass was forcibly torn open, creating a dark chasm tens of thousands of miles wide!

Chaos, fire, water, and wind raged wildly in mid-air, and three majestic, saintly phantoms, like incarnations of the Heavenly Dao, appeared fiercely at the top of the divine banner.

The Pangu Banner, the divine weapon that cleaved the heavens!

When Chen Changsheng's giant purple-gold thunder palm touched a wisp of chaotic energy hanging from the Pangu Banner, it was directly cleaved into nothingness!

Taiyi Zhenren was lifted into the air by the divine light of the Pangu Banner, and his magical power was burning wildly.

He gripped the flagpole tightly with both hands, his face contorted with rage and ecstasy, looking down at Chen Changsheng.

"Chen Changsheng! Do you see that?! This is the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure!"

Taiyi Zhenren roared madly, "My master bestowed this treasure, which contains the full power of three sages! Below the sages, all are but ants!"

"No matter how powerful you are, you won't escape alive today!"

"Die!"

Taiyi Zhenren gritted his teeth and activated the first sage's power within the Pangu Banner.

A chaotic, annihilating sword aura, ten thousand feet long, tore through the void of the primordial land, carrying the earth-shattering power to annihilate all life, and slashed down towards Chen Changsheng!

Wherever the sword energy passed, time stood still and space shattered!

Li Jing, who was below, was so shocked by the pressure that he coughed up a mouthful of blood and was almost crushed.

Li Jinzha activated his indestructible golden body to protect himself inside the courtyard, but he was still forced to kneel by the shockwave.

Faced with this earth-shattering, devastating attack, Chen Changsheng showed no fear whatsoever, and even his half-step Primordial Dao Heart remained completely undisturbed.

There was only deep contempt and mockery.

"Yuanshi Tianzun even lent his own natal treasure to you, a piece of trash."

Chen Changsheng's expression was cold, and his words were like thunder: "But do you think that only Yuanshi Tianzun in the entire world possesses a supreme innate treasure?"

"Who do you think you are, Taiyi? You dare to lay a hand on my disciple at Chen Tang Pass!"

Chen Changsheng shattered the void with one step, his hands moving wide and sweeping, and the boundless primordial power deep within his dantian erupted wildly without reservation at this moment!

when--!

A melodious and majestic ancient bell, which had suppressed the primordial chaos throughout the ages, resounded throughout all the heavens and myriad realms!

A divine bell, radiating dazzling golden light and engraved with the constellations and demon totems, rose out of thin air above Chen Changsheng's head!

The complete innate supreme treasure, the Eastern Emperor Bell!

The moment the divine bell manifested, billions of golden time and space divine runes surged up like a curtain in the sky, solidifying the void within a thousand miles of Chentang Pass as if it were divine iron!

The chaotic sword energy that Pangu Banner slashed down crashed heavily into the golden light barrier emanating from Donghuang Zhong.

The waves surged, and the world lost its color.

That chaotic sword energy, powerful enough to kill a quasi-saint at the peak, was actually forcibly neutralized by the suppressing power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, and disintegrated inch by inch in mid-air!

The arrogant smile on Taiyi Zhenren's face froze completely the moment the bell rang.

"Dong...Donghuang Zhong?!"

Master Taiyi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he screamed in utter horror, "How is this possible! The complete Eastern Emperor Bell has been missing since the Primordial Lich War, how could it be in your hands?!"

However, before he could recover from the extreme shock...

Chen Changsheng made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand.

A black spear, entirely black and exuding a murderous aura that even Heavenly Saints would fear, fell into his hand!

God-Slaying Spear!

Demonic energy surged to the heavens, and killing intent shattered the clouds!

Immediately afterwards, a massive, boundless Xuanhuang ruler, radiating the brilliance of forty-nine merit-based restrictions, burst forth from Chen Changsheng's left hand!

The most precious treasure of acquired merit, the Primordial Ruler of Heaven!

The three supreme divine weapons, capable of overturning the entire Three Realms, erupted with divine radiance that devoured heaven and earth around Chen Changsheng!

"Get down here!"

Chen Changsheng let out a cold shout and thrust out the God-Slaying Spear in his hand!

The demonic killing energy transformed into a million-foot-long pitch-black dragon, carrying the destructive law that could shatter all Dao fruits, and defied the heavens to rise!

The Primordial Measuring Ruler transformed directly into a colossal mountain that crashed down from the heavens with the force of Mount Tai!

Rumble!

The combined power of the two supreme weapons not only completely suppressed the arrogance of the Pangu Banner, but also directly dispersed the chaotic and destructive energy stirred up by Taiyi Zhenren!

The tip of the God-Slaying Spear was deeply embedded in the surface of the Pangu Banner.

Unleashing tremendous power!

Taiyi Zhenren didn't even have the right to resist; he only felt an extremely domineering thunderous demonic power instantly pour into his body.

puff!

Taiyi Zhenren spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and the tiger's mouth of his hands exploded into white bones on the spot.

The Pangu Banner flew out of his hand and was forcefully blasted away by the radiance of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, flying tens of thousands of miles away and embedding itself upside down on a reef at the bottom of the East China Sea!

"ah--!"

Taiyi Zhenren screamed in agony, as most of his meridians were shattered. Like a kite with a broken string, he fell miserably from thousands of feet in the sky and crashed heavily into the muddy tidal flats outside Chentang Pass.

It smashed out a huge, bottomless crater!

With his three flowers severed, most of the five vital energies in his chest instantly dissipated, and his cultivation at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was forcibly reduced to the Heavenly Immortal realm!

Chen Changsheng put away the God-Slaying Spear and the Eastern Emperor Bell, stepped to the edge of the mud pit, and looked down at Taiyi Zhenren, who was lying at the bottom of the pit like a dead dog.

Taiyi Zhenren was covered in blood, his Taoist robe was torn to shreds, his face was covered in mud, and his eyes were filled with endless fear and despair.

He never dreamed that he, who held the Pangu Banner, a sacred treasure of the saints, would not even last a single move against Chen Changsheng!

Chen Changsheng raised his right foot and slowly stepped on Taiyi Zhenren's chest, his expression as cold as frost.

"Taiyi, didn't you just want to kill me?"

With a slight exertion of force under his feet, Taiyi Zhenren's sternum emitted a crisp cracking sound.

"Now, will you show me your arrogance again?"
