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

Within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the wind and clouds changed color.

Thousands of gray sword energies, wreathed in chaotic flames, seemed to come alive, transforming into long gray dragons that tore through the void, frantically slaying towards Taiqing Laozi.

Each sword strike created ripples that distorted space, and the terrifying aura that annihilated everything turned the entire sword formation into a despairing gray hell.

"Ding! Ding! Dong! Dong!"

The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda above Taiqing Laozi's head drooped down with countless thick, mountain-like streams of Xuanhuang energy, completely protecting him and the green ox beneath him.

Those chaotic sword energies, powerful enough to instantly kill a quasi-saint, struck the Xuanhuang Qi.

It could only explode into clusters of dazzling sparks and emit a piercing sound of metal clashing, but it could never break through this primordial treasure known as "standing above one's head, invincible from the start".

However, Lao Tzu's expression was extremely grim.

Although he was not injured, the shock and humiliation in his heart were a thousand times more painful than being struck by the sword energy.

"puff!"

The aftershocks of the divine power's backlash surged again, and Laozi spat out another mouthful of golden holy blood, which splashed onto the Xuanhuang Qi screen in front of him and slowly slid down.

His eyes, which were always calm and deep, as if they had seen through everything in the world, were now filled with utter bewilderment and disbelief.

Lost?

His most treasured supreme divine power, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, actually failed in such an inexplicable way.

He didn't even know how the enemy made their move! It was like he was writing a perfect piece of calligraphy, and then his wrist suddenly cramped up, resulting in a pile of dog poop on the most crucial stroke!

This feeling is so frustrating! So incredibly frustrating!

Outside the formation, the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning and the Daoist Guide watched Laozi vomit blood, their expressions changing drastically in an instant.

"Big brother!"

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a cry of surprise, and for the first time, a genuine look of panic appeared on his usually arrogant face.

Even the eldest brother's "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" failed? What strange changes have occurred in this towering sword formation?

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, we can't wait any longer!" The Guide Daoist, clutching his empty left eye socket, roared hoarsely, "This sword formation has surged in power and is incredibly strange! If we don't act now, we might truly become a laughingstock of the primordial world!"

Yuanshi Tianzun stared intently at the hazy sword formation, watching his elder brother trapped within it, forced to defend passively, and seeing Zhunti writhing in pain at the edge of the formation. The madness and resentment in his eyes finally reached their peak.

He's had enough!

He can't afford to lose again!

Since conventional methods are not working, then don't blame me for being unethical and flipping the table!

"Hmph! Lin Xuan, Tongtian! You forced me to this!"

Yuanshi Tianzun let out a venomous roar in his heart. He gritted his teeth and flipped his hand. In his palm, a strange magic weapon appeared out of thin air. It was purple-gold in color, shaped like a sharp ice cone, and covered with dense Heavenly Dao runes!

[Heavenly Dao Formation-Breaking Cone]!

This item did not belong to his sect, but was the ultimate trump card that Hongjun Daozu secretly bestowed upon him from Zixiao Palace a few days ago when he was in a state of impotent rage in Yuxu Palace, following the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao!

Hongjun's voice was cold and indifferent: "This thing is formed from the origin of the Heavenly Dao. It can forcibly fix the core of all formations, but only for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Yuanshi, do not disappoint your master again."

This item is Hongjun's ultimate means of forcibly intervening in the Great Tribulation in order to restore order!

A fierce determination flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he frantically poured the saintly power within his body into the [Heavenly Dao Formation-Breaking Cone]!

"Buzz—!"

The purple-gold array-breaking cone emitted a loud hum, and a heavenly pressure that surpassed the level of a saint, filled with supreme and unquestionable authority, suddenly erupted!

"Heavenly decree: All formations fall silent! Cease!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable hurled the array-breaking cone forward with a mighty thud!

The purple-gold light cone transformed into a stream of light, completely ignoring the terrifying chaotic sword energy surrounding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. With a "poof," it forcefully pierced the core of the entire sword formation!

In that instant, the entire Zhuxian Sword Formation seemed to have been paused!

All the frenzied, strangling gray sword energy, all the flowing chaotic flames, and all the raging laws of slaughter—at this moment, they all came to a standstill!

"puff!"

The formation was forcibly suppressed, and the Tongtian Sect Leader was struck as if by a heavy blow. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of horror.

"This is... the aura of the Heavenly Dao! Yuan Shi! You are shameless!"

"Hahaha! Tongtian, the victor is king, the loser is villain! What's the use of saying all this!" Yuanshi Tianzun let out a maniacal laugh. "Jieyin! Now! Charge in! Wipe out all the Jie Sect demons in one fell swoop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jieyin and Yuanshi transformed into two streams of light and, without any further hesitation, rushed directly into the temporarily frozen Zhuxian Sword Formation!

Laozi, who was already trapped inside the formation, had a very subtle and complex look flash in the depths of his eyes.

He patted the green ox beneath him, and the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda above his head shone brightly. He decisively withdrew from his passive defensive stance, and the Taiji Golden Bridge beneath his feet shook violently. With the crushing pressure of a saint, it pressed directly towards the center of the formation!

Even Zhunti, standing at the edge of the sword formation, endured the excruciating pain of his right shoulder being burned by the chaotic flames, gritted his golden teeth, grabbed the Seven Treasures Tree with one hand, and lunged towards the center of the formation with venomous intent.

Their target was the pale-faced Daoist Duobao standing in the center of the sword formation, and the thousands of core disciples of the Jie Sect behind him!

Four sages attacked the Jie Sect immortals trapped in the formation from four directions simultaneously!

That earth-shattering pressure caused the entire Jiepai Pass to tremble violently!

On the starry sky airship, Lin Xuan looked at the scene in the water mirror that could be described as a fatal blow, but he just yawned with extreme boredom and picked up his juice to take another sip.

"Tsk, that old bastard Hongjun finally couldn't resist cheating himself."

In his mind, the cold, unhurried system notification sounded.

[Ding! The Heavenly Dao cheat-level item [Heavenly Dao Formation-Breaking Cone] has been detected intervening, severely disrupting the balance of the Great Calamity!]

[The countermeasure plan has been activated and is currently deducing the best way to overturn the table for the host...]
