Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 122 Suppression

Xuanhuang used to doubt whether Laozi had really stolen the origins of Yuanshi and Tongtian, otherwise why could only Laozi use this supernatural power of transforming into the Three Pure Ones, while Yuanshi and Tongtian could not?

However, now that he is a Primordial Golden Immortal, he can understand the principle behind it and knows that it is a supernatural power derived from Lao Tzu's Dao of Forgetfulness.

Only by forgetting emotions can one unleash the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique. However, neither Yuanshi nor Tongtian had forgotten emotions, so naturally they could not unleash the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique.

But then they saw the Three Pure Ones, who had transformed into the Three Pure Ones, along with Laozi himself, surround Xuanhuang from all sides and attack him.

"What a magnificent display of detachment from worldly desires, what a magnificent display of transforming one breath into three pure ones! But senior brother, my methods are not inferior either." Xuanhuang still did not release the Chaos Pearl, but merely swayed his body, revealing three heads and six arms to block the attacks coming from all directions.

At the same time, a vertical eye suddenly appeared between Xuanhuang's eyebrows.

In that instant, a terrifying sense of danger surged within Lao Tzu.

"not good."

Just as Laozi was about to tell the Three Pure Ones to step back, a bolt of lightning the size of a fist flew out from between Xuanhuang's eyebrows.

This lightning was neither black nor white, but like the Tai Chi symbol, with black and white intertwined into one, a chaotic color.

This thunder was none other than the Heavenly Thunder.

The lightning bolt emanated from between Xuanhuang's eyebrows, and in the blink of an eye, it struck Laozi.

Lao Tzu recognized the lightning and was immediately startled, but he had no time to defend himself. However, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda was above his head.

The lightning strike did not harm them, but the booming sound spread everywhere, and the Heavenly Thunder completely shattered the surrounding chaos.

It transformed into rolling earth, water, fire, and wind, temporarily obscuring his vision.

When Laozi came to his senses and looked again, his three clones had already been dealt with by Xuanhuang's three consecutive Heavenly Divine Thunderbolts.

"Pangu Father God's Heavenly Thunder, you are not a true descendant of Pangu, how do you know about it?" Laozi's eyelids twitched wildly, but relying on the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, he was invincible and was not afraid of Xuanhuang, so he shouted and asked.

Meanwhile, their battle had already attracted the attention of other sages.

When they saw Xuanhuang unleash the Heavenly Thunder, everyone was greatly surprised.

"It really is this thunder." In the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi's reaction was not so strong.

He seemed to have known and guessed about it beforehand, but he didn't believe that Xuanhuang really controlled the Heavenly Thunder.

Now, seeing is believing.

Xuanhuang not only mastered the Heavenly Thunder, but he was also very authentic, at least much more authentic than the Three Pure Ones.

"Senior brother has the means, and so do I. As for the Heavenly Divine Thunder, that is my opportunity, not something only the true Pangu lineage possesses. What do you think, senior brother?" Xuanhuang laughed and strode toward Laozi.

He pointed, and a bead suddenly appeared on the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

"Certainly!"

Xuanhuang let out a deep shout and activated the Chaos Pearl. The pearl immediately released an incomparably powerful force, enveloping the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and trying its best to stabilize the pagoda.

However, under the suppression of the Chaos Pearl, although the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda remained intact, its power was greatly reduced.

The wisps of ethereal yellow energy gradually solidified.

Laozi knew that Xuanhuang had used his true abilities. Even if he stood under the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda again, he would no longer be invincible.

Xuanhuang, holding a bamboo staff, struck with it, while Laozi attacked with a flat cane. In an instant, the bamboo staff and the flat cane collided.

Lao Tzu felt an overwhelming and terrifying force surging towards him. Centered on his location, the surrounding chaos and even the void suddenly developed hideous cracks.

Like a spider web, it spread rapidly. The next moment, with a loud bang, chaos suddenly exploded, turning into raging earth, water, fire, and wind. Laozi was also thrown out violently.

Although he was still unharmed and uninjured, Laozi's face turned pale.

His ruthless path was shattered by Xuanhuang's single strike.

"This isn't Tai Chi." He stared intently at Xuanhuang, ignoring his own disheveled state, and said in a deep voice.

Xuanhuang stood amidst the surging earth, water, fire, and wind, which were gradually weakening.

The reason was that Xuanhuang was absorbing these elements of earth, water, fire, and wind. Soon, all of them were swallowed into Xuanhuang's body.

Looking at Laozi, Xuanhuang smiled slightly and said, "What does it matter whether it is or isn't?"

"Senior Brother, are you ready to admit defeat now?"

Xuanhuang held a bamboo staff, from which golden light faintly emanated, as if he would attack again if Laozi answered no.

But at that moment, another figure suddenly appeared in the chaos, dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe with a dignified face.

It was none other than the Jade Purity Saint, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Yuanshi arrived, holding the Pangu Banner. He glanced at Laozi, then at Xuanhuang, and snorted, "The true lineage of Pangu cannot be insulted. Fifth Brother, you've gone too far!"

As soon as Yuanshi finished speaking, another figure arrived, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe and carrying the Qingping Sword.

It was Tongtian who said to Xuanhuang, "Fifth Junior Brother, that's enough."

Both Yuanshi and Tongtian came.

However, Xuanhuang was not without help. Zhen Yuanzi, carrying his Earth Book, came into the chaos and stood silently beside Xuanhuang.

It's clear they intend to strongly support Xuanhuang.

Similarly, Nuwa, who was in the Xuanhuang Heaven, also walked out with a smile. She went to Xuanhuang's side, looked at the Three Pure Ones, and said, "My three senior brothers, why are you so serious?"

For a moment, in a three-on-three situation, the three Qing generals all frowned slightly.

The matter here is known only to these sages; it has not alarmed any powerful figures from various regions.

Even so, Laozi's defeat by Xuanhuang was a great loss of face for Laozi, as well as for Yuanshi and Tongtian.

The Three Pure Ones were naturally very unhappy.

In the past, the Xuanhuang realm was always superior to them, which was fine, but now that everyone is at the Hunyuan realm, how could they be willing to be inferior?

So, despite the presence of Zhen Yuanzi and Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones remained silent, creating a tense atmosphere that seemed poised to escalate the situation further.

Inside Mount Sumeru, both Jieyin and Zhunti watched with twitching eyelids, feeling both tense and excited.

"You guys..." Xuanhuang took a deep breath and was about to speak to Zhenyuanzi and Nuwa when...

Suddenly, the chaos solidified.

"Buzz!"

An immense divine thought swept in like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the chaos.

The Primordial Chaos Sword and the Chaos Pearl were originally confronting Lao Tzu's Taiji Diagram and the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, all four seemed to lose their power, instantly suppressed by that terrifying divine thought, and fell silent.

The Primordial Sword and the Chaos Pearl landed before Xuanhuang. The Taiji Diagram and the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth also landed before Laozi.

But at some unknown time, a palace appeared in the chaos; it was the Zixiao Palace.

From within the Purple Cloud Palace came the voice of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun: "Laozi, you have recklessly stirred up trouble and even started a major conflict with your fifth junior brother over this trivial matter. Go back and reflect on your actions in seclusion for ten thousand years."

"Disciple will respectfully obey Master's decree," Laozi replied, not daring to be presumptuous.

Then, after collecting the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, he turned and left, returning to Shouyang Mountain.
