Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

Lao Tzu rode his green ox and stepped into the range of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

"Buzz—!"

The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda above his head instantly unleashed countless streams of Xuanhuang energy, firmly protecting him and the Green Ox.

Countless gray sword energies, wreathed in chaotic flames, surged toward him like sharks drawn by the scent of blood, relentlessly attacking him.

"Jingle bells!"

The sword energy struck the Xuanhuang Qi, producing bursts of metallic clang, but it could not break through this supreme defense that was said to be "invincible from the top."

"Third brother, your sword formation has indeed become much more powerful."

Lao Tzu's expression remained calm, and his voice was as still as a deep well as still water as a still pond. "It's a pity that your aura of killing is too strong; it is ultimately not the right path. Today, let me, your elder brother, break this obsession of yours."

As soon as he finished speaking, auspicious clouds rolled above his head, and a golden bridge extended from beneath his feet, spanning the void of the sword formation and suppressing the raging killing sword energy from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, and the aura of "governing by doing nothing" on his body suddenly changed, becoming incomparably profound and mysterious.

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things."

"One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones!"

Lao Tzu unleashed his most powerful and secret divine ability!

Suddenly, three streams of pure and incomparably clear energy shot out from the auspicious clouds above his head.

These three streams of pure energy rapidly condensed and evolved in mid-air, about to transform into three Taoists who looked exactly like Lao Tzu, but whose auras were all different!

One aura is pure and serene, another is majestic and domineering, and the last is sharp and fierce!

It was none other than the three Daoists Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing!

Upon the release of this divine power, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable outside the formation showed a solemn expression in his eyes.

He knew the power of his elder brother's move. Each of the three clones possessed combat strength no less than that of an early-stage Saint. Together with his elder brother's main body, they could simultaneously fight against the Four Swords of Zhuxian and break the formation from the inside.

As you can see, the features of the three clones are becoming clearer and clearer, and the Dao aura emanating from them is becoming stronger and stronger, and they are about to be fully formed!

However, at this crucial moment...

Far above Jiepai Pass, aboard that extremely luxurious starship.

Looking at the scene reflected in the water mirror, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile, typical of Lao Liu.

He remained in that lazy posture, simply extending a finger and flicking it lightly at the empty space in front of him in an extremely casual manner.

"Pop".

A sound so faint that even the Queen Mother of the West beside him did not notice it rippled through the void.

There are no fluctuations in the laws of nature, and no leakage of energy.

Only a single, invisible to the naked eye and undetectable by divine sense, a pure sonic wave that transcends time, space, and causality, pierced through layers of space at an incredible speed, directly impacting the three streams of pure energy within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation that were evolving wildly.

This sonic ripple has no lethality.

It's like a master tuner who, with utmost precision, inserts a completely dissonant, out-of-tune note into a nearly completed, flawless symphony.

Lao Tzu, who was exerting all his supernatural powers and resonating with the Great Dao, suddenly felt his primordial spirit tremble!

He only felt that the connection between himself and those three streams of pure energy had, in that instant, become extremely slight, yet extremely fatally disordered!

It's like a precision instrument that's running at high speed, and a grain of sand has been forcibly stuffed into it!

"not good!"

For the first time, Lao Tzu's expression changed!

He tried to forcibly stop the supernatural power, but it was too late!

In mid-air, the three avatars of the saints that were about to take shape suddenly froze, as if they had been injected with a virus program!

Immediately afterwards, the beard of the Jade Purity Daoist suddenly grew on the face of the Shangqing Daoist.

Yuqing Daoist then donned the robe of Taiqing Daoist.

The auras of the three clones instantly became extremely chaotic, like three burly men who were drunk, twisting, deforming, and merging wildly in mid-air, and finally...

"puff--!"

A muffled sound, like a bubble bursting.

The three streams of pure energy containing the essence of saints clashed and canceled each other out before they could even exert any effect. In the end, they exploded and transformed into a sky full of spiritual energy, which dissipated into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!

The supernatural power was forcibly interrupted!

"puff!"

As if struck by lightning, Lao Tzu opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of golden holy blood!

His supreme supernatural power, which he was so proud of, inexplicably failed at the most crucial moment!

He stood there blankly, staring at the empty auspicious clouds above his head, his face filled with utter bewilderment and disbelief.

How could this happen?

Why?

What is going wrong?

He simply couldn't understand how his supernatural powers could fail in such an outrageous and absurd way!

He didn't even feel any external attack!

In that moment of distraction, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not about to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Big brother! Now that you're in, you're not leaving!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and thousands of chaotic sword energies, like a raging storm, swept wildly towards Laozi, who was in a daze and whose mind had been thrown off balance!
