Chapter 103 Battle against Taiqing within the Immortal Slaughtering Formation

With the arrival of the four saints, Tongtian knew that without Hongyun's help, his Zhuxian Sword Formation would definitely be broken.

Therefore, the key to this great formation now lies with Hongyun. If Hongyun can help him defeat the Taiqing Saint, then...

Then he wins. And if he doesn't, the outcome is obvious.

Of course, the Tongtian Sect Leader had great confidence in Hongyun. After all, he had a proven track record.

Back then, even when the three brothers fought together, they couldn't beat him. Now that there's only one of them, how could there be any problems?

Hongyun nodded and said, "Senior Brother, let me handle this. You can deal with the others."

After saying that, Hongyun flashed and went straight into the Immortal Trapping Gate, where he faced off against the Sage of Taiqing.

At the same time, the Tongtian Sect Leader also began to act, shaking the Zhuxian Sword and unleashing billions of sword energies, slashing towards the Yuanshi Tianzun.

Despite the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning's best efforts to defend, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds were not a supreme treasure, and several of their golden flowers were still cut off.

Yuanshi Tianzun was furious and used his saintly power to freeze the Zhuxian Gate, and then tried to take down the Zhuxian Sword.

Unexpectedly, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed loudly, which caused a thunderous sound, making the Zhuxian Sword disappear.

Only countless sword energies still swarmed in.

Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to enter the formation to fight Tongtian, but the further he went in, the greater the resistance became. Even with the Pangu Banner in hand, he could not succeed.

Similarly, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, were also trapped within the formation gate, unable to advance an inch.

At this point, the key lies in the Immortal-Trapping Gate to the south.

The battle between the Supreme Sage and Hongyun.

This battle was of extraordinary significance.

It is not only a contest of strength between two great sages, but also a comparison of two methods of attaining the Dao: severing the three corpses and attaining the Dao through the world, and a conflict between the two major religions of Taoism and Confucianism.

While there are some key aspects that even the sages are not fully aware of, the Taiqing Sage and Hongyun are very clear about them.

The Sage Taiqing transformed the Taiji diagram into a white jade and gold bridge, and people stood on the bridge.

Beneath the golden bridge, countless elements of earth, water, fire, and wind existed, and the billions of sword energies emitted by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword could not even get close.

The Sage of Taiqing stood on the golden bridge, with the Xuanhuang Pagoda of Heaven and Earth above his head and a flat cane in his hand. His gaze toward Hongyun was exceptionally solemn and unfathomable.

In contrast, Hongyun appeared extremely simple, dressed casually in white, and with a light clench of her fist, a precious sword appeared in her hand.

This surprised both the Supreme Saint and the other four saints who witnessed it.

What appeared in Hongyun's hand was the Hunyuan Sword. However, this was the first time the Sages had ever seen this sword.

Hongyun has acquired another innate treasure.

"This sword is named Hunyuan." Hongyun did not look down on the Taiqing Saint. After saying this, he took a step forward and stood in front of the Taiqing Saint.

Then he slashed out with his sword.

Hongyun's sword strike appeared ordinary, without any supernatural power or skill.

And that is indeed the case.

Hongyun's sword strike was simply an attack of overwhelming force, using his greatest strength and most powerful magic to launch a brutal assault.

With a single sword strike, nothing can withstand its devastation; it is invincible.

Even the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, a treasure of creation and merit, known as the best in defense, is still vulnerable to a single sword strike.

There is no absolute defense, only insufficiently strong attacks.

When the Sage of Taiqing saw the sword coming, his eyes narrowed sharply. Without hesitation, he summoned his three incarnations.

One breath transforms into three pure ones.

Three streams of pure energy flew out from the top of his head and transformed into three Taoists: one old, one young, and one middle-aged, who looked exactly like Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian.

Even the methods used by the three Taoist priests were very similar to those of the other three.

These are the three incarnations of the Supreme Sage, and each incarnation is also a sage!

As soon as the three incarnations of the Taiqing Saint appeared, they, along with his original self, simultaneously activated the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Unleash the full power of this treasure of merit.

Boom!!

The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and the Hunyuan Sword collided, and this supposedly indestructible treasure of merit finally shattered at this moment.

Moreover, it was breached from the front.

A deep sword mark appeared on the tower, slashing into it, and the strands of dark yellow energy hanging down from the tower also scattered.

Some were even cut in half and scattered everywhere.

At the same time, the three incarnations of the Supreme Saint were shattered by the terrifying power in an instant.

Although they were shattered, the three incarnations did not perish and reunited in the blink of an eye.

Only the Heavenly Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda withstood the attack of the Hunyuan Sword head-on, and was cleaved with a deep sword mark.

Countless streams of primordial energy broke apart.

At this point, it was difficult to repair in a short time, making the scene extremely shocking.

However, this was only the first round of their exchange. After one sword strike, Hongyun gained a slight advantage, but he showed no mercy.

Another sword strike came.

As you can see, countless cracks have also appeared on Hongyun's sword, caused by the backlash from the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is, after all, a supreme defensive treasure, and is far too sturdy.

Hongyun's brute force and relentless attacks naturally caused him injury. However, Hongyun didn't care and continued to attack with the Hunyuan Sword.

The Sage of Taiqing then poured his magical power into the golden bridge beneath his feet, and the golden bridge, which was formed from the Taiji diagram, immediately expanded and grew larger.

It burst forth with an incomparably dazzling golden light. This golden light even pierced through the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, illuminating the entire prehistoric Three Realms in a golden glow.

The Tai Chi Golden Bridge spanned the sky, forcibly fixing the Hunyuan Sword in place.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three incarnations of the Supreme Saint roared and joined forces to embrace the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

It was like swinging a giant mountain, crashing down on the red clouds.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared between Hongyun's eyebrows, and a bead appeared. From the bead, huge roots suddenly shot out.

These roots, however, were the roots of the Jianmu tree. One by one, the roots flew out and flew towards the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

This instantly entangled the pagoda.

Moreover, what's even more terrifying is that the roots seem to be endless, not only entangling the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

Moreover, it continued to attack the three incarnations of the Supreme Saint.

The Supreme Saint sensed danger. If his three incarnations were entangled by that root and dragged into the bead, they would be doomed.

His three incarnations are very likely to be completely destroyed, which may even shake his Primordial Dao Fruit.

To bring him down from his current level.

The Sage Taiqing attained enlightenment by severing the three corpses, and his current cultivation level is at the same level as Hongyun's.

They were all at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Although both were at the early stage of Hunyuan, the difference in their strength was something that the Taiqing Saint found hard to accept.

How can this be so outrageous?

The Sage of Taiqing made a decisive move, and his three avatars suddenly transformed into three divine lightning bolts.

It was the Taiqing Divine Thunder, the Yuqing Divine Thunder, and the Shangqing Divine Thunder.

The three divine thunderbolts blasted towards the countless roots, shattering them one by one, thus freeing the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

However, at that very moment, a bolt of pitch-black divine lightning suddenly flew out from the Qiankun Pearl.

It fell in an instant.

With a loud "boom," the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda was struck by the lightning and seemed to lose control.

It actually fell from the sky, crashing to the ground with a heavy thud.

The thunder emanating from the Qiankun Pearl was none other than the Heavenly Divine Thunder!
