I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 58 The Saints are Resurrected, Tongtian is Punished by Heaven.

When the Heavenly Dao regained control of the primordial world, countless golden lights burst forth in the western lands in an instant. All that could be seen were golden lotuses of all living beings in the sky, golden light falling in disarray, and purple aura traveling three thousand miles to the west.

A divine might instantly awe-inspiringly dominated the primordial world.

"Tongtian, you dare to kill me? Come and fight!"

Zhunti was resurrected, and the Heavenly Dao regained control of the primordial world. As long as the Heavenly Dao is undying, the saints will never die.

Zhunti's roar resounded across the primordial land, startling the powerful beings. Was being killed once not enough? Did they want to be killed a second time? This greatly startled Jieyin, who grabbed Zhunti tightly.

"Senior brother, please calm down."

At the same time, on the primordial land, the white-haired Tongtian Sect Leader also slowly opened his eyes, but his soul had collapsed and disintegrated. If he were not still a Heavenly Saint, he would probably have died long ago.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, the aging Tongtian Sect Leader struggled to his feet, looked up at the sky, and everything was just as it had been before the great battle.

"It seems the battle is over, but who won and who lost?"

He took a deep breath and saw energy converging from hundreds of millions of miles around.

"The Intercepting Sect seizes the last vestige of life in heaven and earth, enabling rebirth through the heavens—".

Splash!

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the Tongtian Sect Leader began to recover, but suddenly a golden light struck.

"puff--."

He spat out a mouthful of holy blood, then looked sharply beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, and then heard the voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun resound throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths:

"Tongtian of the Jie Sect disobeyed the Heavenly Decree, burning Pangu's primordial spirit and raising his sword to attack the Heaven. This is a great act of rebellion. This Dao Ancestor has inflicted a wound on the Heavenly Dao, which cannot be repaired without immeasurable eons."

Rumble.

The words of the sage became law, and they were spoken by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun himself. The entire prehistoric land heard them clearly, especially the beings of the Jie Sect in Biyou Palace, who wept bitterly upon hearing such words.

"Master, sob sob—."

The powerful beings of the primordial world also felt sorrow. After this battle, the fame of the Tongtian Sect Leader spread far and wide throughout the primordial world, and all living beings admired him. Even when exhausted, he could still fight against five saints. Regardless of the outcome, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already won, not to mention that he had also killed one saint.

It can be said that Tongtian's reputation exploded in an instant. After hearing Hongjun's decree, all living beings in the prehistoric world felt regret.

Under the rule of Heaven, the Tongtian Sect Leader will be suppressed by Heaven for eternity and will never again have the glory of defeating five opponents at once.

"Why--."

The sigh of the Tongtian Sect Leader echoed throughout the primordial land and resounded throughout the cycle of reincarnation. He had no choice but to accept this punishment, after all, he was still a saint of the Heavenly Dao.

"Hehe, so you're preventing this saint from returning to his original state? Hehe, fine, that's not bad either."

Wiping the holy blood from the corner of his mouth, the Tongtian Sect Leader straightened his back and with a single gesture, summoned the Four Swords of Zhuxian. He saw the unconscious Ancestor of Humanity on the ground and learned what had happened through the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

"Burning the fate of humanity as a price to forcibly activate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Ancestor of Humanity, you have such courage! I, Tongtian, am no match for you. But humanity will face endless calamities in the future."

Slowly lifting up the Human Ancestor Ye Yang, the Tongtian Sect Master gave a bitter smile. Although they had won this battle, it was a Pyrrhic victory. The human race had consumed nine-tenths of its great fortune and sown the seeds of future calamity. The Wu race had even cut off its own future by actively destroying Pangu's will.

But he himself was forever left with an irreparable scar from the Dao of Heaven.

Although they won, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

"Hehehe, hahahaha."

With a bitter laugh, Tongtian felt his primordial spirit drifting within his body. He had won on his side, but he himself had lost. The true lineage of Pangu had been completely destroyed, and he would never be able to make any further progress.

"Master, you...you're alive?"

Just then, Ye Yang, the Ancestor of Humanity, weakly opened his eyes. Looking at the white-haired Tongtian Sect Leader in front of him, who seemed to be old and frail, tears fell instantly.

"Master, I have failed you."

"Hehe, Ancestor, there's no need for such words. If it weren't for Ancestor burning the human race's fortune to seize a sliver of heavenly secrets, I, the Tongtian Sect Master, would probably have been killed. Even if I could be resurrected, the Jie Sect would likely have suffered as well."

However, Ye Yang gave a wry smile and shook his head:

"Hongjun will not allow Jieyin to kill you. The Heavenly Dao would rather other saints be killed than have you killed."

"Hmm? Why?"

Tongtian was taken aback, only to hear Ye Yang of the human race say:

"Heh, after the resurrection, there will be a fully healed Tongtian, one at full health, and one with weakened health. Who will Heaven choose?"

In an instant, Tongtian realized the truth and burst into laughter. Of course, a weakened Tongtian was easier to deal with. Wasn't this a perfect example of what had happened to him?

The Tongtian Sect Leader fought against Hongjun head-on, and with all his might, he took on five saints at once and even killed Zhunti. Such terrifying combat power would make even the Heavenly Dao wary.

What's even more terrifying is that the Tongtian Sect Leader has already developed a rebellious heart and is difficult to control; it's better to keep him at low health.

"Ancestor of Humanity, let's go to Biyou Palace for a while. I'm a little tired, cough cough—".

Suddenly, Ye Yang coughed up a mouthful of holy blood, which greatly surprised him.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, just a wound to the Heavenly Dao. This is my punishment, and it can only be repaired through immeasurable eons, cough cough."

In an instant, Ye Yang's nose tingled, and tears fell.

"Master, you..."

"It's alright. Even the Ancestral Witch Houtu dared to bear all the karma alone. I am a direct descendant of Pangu, so how can I back down? As long as the Jie Sect has a glimmer of hope, this injury is nothing."

Ye Yang felt uneasy after hearing this.

"Master, why don't you take advantage of the fact that Mount Buzhou hasn't collapsed yet?"

"Shh—I understand what you mean. Let's talk about it when we get back. Be careful, the walls may be overheard."

The moment the words fell, a surge of anger suddenly rushed from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens straight into the Netherworld.

"Hmm? Something seems wrong?"

The great beings of the primordial world looked up, and all the saints looked up, only to see Hongjun's true form instantly transform into a stream of light. Almost at the same time, Hongjun's Dharma body descended upon the Blood Sea.

"Pingxin, come out here—".

Hongjun roared angrily, his voice reaching straight to the Yama Palace in the underworld, frightening the great beings of the primordial world.

"The Heavenly Dao has regained control of the primordial world; it seems that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is about to settle scores later."

"When Hongjun Daozu was tricked, he could only watch as Houtu was reincarnated. This was a loss of face for him. It seems that the Sage Pingxin is not having an easy time either."

"Do you think the Sages will cause trouble for the Ancestor of Humanity? After all, the Six Paths of Reincarnation should have been an opportunity for the Sages, but the Ancestor of Humanity cut it off."

Ye Yang and the Tongtian Sect Leader also looked over, and when they heard Hongjun's voice, they felt a great sense of foreboding, but there was nothing they could do.

"It's up to Pingxin himself now."

The Tongtian Sect Leader gave a wry smile. He and the Ancestor of Humanity were both weak and unable to help. With a wry smile, he headed straight for Biyou Palace.

All that could be seen was a churning sea of ​​blood, from which a figure emerged.

"Grandmaster Hongjun, what brings you to my Underworld?"

Hongjun didn't waste any words. He directly used one hand to summon the Jade Disc of Creation, which enveloped the head of the Sage of Peaceful Mind.

"Pingxin, you have defied the Heavenly Dao and disturbed the primordial world. Today, I, the Dao Ancestor, will suppress you and you will not be able to be reborn until an immeasurable eon."

Hongjun, filled with rage and gritting his teeth, unleashed his immense power to forcefully suppress Pingxin.
