Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 285 The Battle of the Eight Saints

With reincarnation and the establishment of the underworld, the underworld gradually became perfect, or more accurately, it was already perfect, just like Hongjun merging with the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao was perfected, and what remained were just some details.

At this moment, the entire primordial world trembled, and then a misty purple aura appeared between heaven and earth. The three thousand Great Daos appeared in the primordial world, and the celestial realm released supreme divine power, illuminating heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the celestial constellations began to operate at full capacity, the Five Primordial Banners manifested, the celestial canopy laid down by Donghua opened, and the immense power of the stars descended from the sky, sprinkling across the primordial world.

The Heavenly Dao reigns supreme, its power permeating the heavens, forming boundless waves of energy, with the power of rules intertwining with each other.

The primordial world has once again witnessed a transformation of heaven and earth!

Sweet dew fell from the sky, golden flowers bloomed in abundance, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and countless spiritual energies surged forth, benefiting countless living beings, some gaining sentience, others taking human form.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Houtu, on attaining the Primordial Dao!"

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Houtu, on attaining the Primordial Dao!"

"..."

Donghua looked at the people in Heaven and gave them a meaningful look. The people in Heaven immediately understood.

"We pay homage to the Great Emperor of the Earth's Profound Virtue and Reincarnation, and the Heavenly Venerable Mother Earth!"

"We pay homage to the Great Emperor of the Earth's Profound Virtue and Reincarnation, and the Heavenly Venerable Mother Earth!"

Shouts echoed throughout the heavens and earth, simultaneously marking the beginning of the struggle for reincarnation in the underworld!

Donghua smiled slightly. You should know that Houtu also has another identity as one of the Six Emperors of Heaven. Therefore, the power over the Underworld and Reincarnation cannot bypass Heaven no matter what.

Just then, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti arrived at Donghua's side, and Houtu flew up, with the eight of them standing on different sides!

At this point, the eight Primordial Chaos beings were gathered together.

The eight people looked at each other, but none of them spoke. However, an invisible aura began to emanate from the sky above the sea of ​​blood.

This time, the situation is different from others. It can be said that it could easily turn into a battle between eight Primordial Chaos beings. This is a major event that has never happened since the beginning of the primordial world.

If that happens, the previous war between the three races and the war between immortals and demons will be nothing!

However, all the spectators fled, except for a few quasi-saints who retreated to their own worlds or magical treasures, wanting to witness this grand battle!

The eight men's aura continued to rise, as if they were about to make a move at any moment.

Just then, Houtu squinted and smiled at the Three Pure Ones and the others, saying jokingly, "Thank you all for personally witnessing my enlightenment. But now that everything is settled, I wonder if there's anything else you've done for me? Would you like me to host a banquet for you fellow Daoists?"

"If that's the case, then give me some time, and I will certainly prepare a grand banquet to satisfy all of you fellow Daoists!"

Upon hearing this, no one showed any expression except Donghua, who smiled nonchalantly, as if he didn't understand anything.

The Supreme Being's expression remained calm as he softly stated, "As the foremost disciple of my master and the head of the Xuanmen sect, I, as the head of the Human Sect, should rightfully hold the authority over the Underworld and Reincarnation to assist all sentient beings in their cycle of reincarnation!"

"The same applies to the Chan Sect!" Yuanshi Tianzun spoke coldly and arrogantly, his voice devoid of joy or sorrow, but his attitude was firm and brooked no argument.

Tongtian, dressed in a black Taoist robe with his hands behind his back, and with five swords faintly appearing around him, gave Donghua and the other two an awkward smile.

Although Tongtian didn't say anything, his smile revealed his stance. After all, the Three Pure Ones were united at this moment, and especially at such a crucial time, how could Tongtian not take action?

The other two, Jieyin and Zhunti, didn't say anything, but their eyes were piercing, clearly indicating that they also didn't want to give up their authority over the underworld and reincarnation.

Seeing their attitude, Donghua's heart turned cold. He knew this matter was not simple. He thought that Sanqing and the others would be wary of him, but he did not expect that it was just wishful thinking on his part.

He thought his appearance would break the arrogance of the Three Pure Ones, but he didn't expect that the three of them would still be the same as before, with no change in their personalities. They always believed that they were the true lineage and that they were the supreme ruler of Heaven.

Even he himself was nothing in their eyes. They only thought that Donghua was lucky and that his cultivation level was higher than theirs, otherwise he was nothing.

Donghua took a deep breath, a rare look of relaxation appearing on his face. Time seemed to have returned to the moment when he had just been reborn. The only difference was that he now had a firmer resolve in his heart and a colder look in his eyes.

Nuwa sneered, "The Three Pure Ones? The true descendants of Pangu? Why didn't you dare say that when the Twelve Ancestral Witches were all around? Now you're always talking about it? My three senior brothers are truly quite capable!"

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning's expression turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Nuwa, a hint of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

When the Lich Kings were at their strongest, even the Three Pure Ones had to retreat. Kunlun's cultivation of Taoism was a result of necessity.

It wasn't until Hongjun's three lectures ended that the Three Pure Ones' status became increasingly transcendent, and the Wu and Yao tribes selectively forgot about them, resulting in a situation where they did not interfere with each other.

Only by combining the power of the Xuanmen and the fortune of Pangu could the Three Pure Ones surpass the Wu and Yao races in strength, and in terms of individual cultivation, they were unparalleled in the prehistoric world, making them the leaders by a wide margin.

Upon hearing Nuwa's mockery, Yuanshi Tianzun's face instantly fell, and a chill could be sensed by anyone.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, don't think that just because you were the first to attain sainthood you can say whatever you want. Be careful what you say!"

Nuwa smiled disdainfully and said mockingly, "If you are not convinced, we can have a battle in the Chaos."

"Then let's have a chaotic battle!" Yuanshi Tianzun was not one to be afraid of trouble; after becoming a saint, he was fearless.

"war!"

As soon as the words fell, the eight people—Sanqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, Donghua, Nuwa, and Houtu—flew up to the Chaos!

……

Deep within the chaos, beyond the outer demon realm, a hazy, chaotic aura permeates the air, forming a raging chaotic storm that relentlessly obliterates everything within it. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would tremble with fear upon arriving here.

Meanwhile, Donghua and the other eight Hunyuan stood in the chaos, completely unaffected. Their powerful aura prevented the chaotic storm from getting close, and even squeezed the surrounding chaos, with faint signs of earth, fire, water, and wind emerging.

Eight mixed-elemental beings, three factions!

The Three Pure Ones!

The Jieyin-Zhunti school!

The faction of Donghua, Nuwa, and Houtu!

In terms of both numbers and strength, Donghua has a clear advantage and is the strongest faction.

The downside is that the strongest party is often the one targeted by a united front.

As expected, after a short standoff, the combined auras of the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West gradually merged, pressing down on Donghua and his companions with all their might.

Meanwhile, some quasi-saints and powerful beings also came to the chaos to watch this grand battle.

"Bodhi Patriarch? Senior Bodhi?" As soon as Chaos emerged from the place, a group of emperors and rulers from the Heavenly Court gathered here. Among them, Yuan Jin looked at a space to the side and couldn't help but exclaim.

Bodhi wore a black and white Taoist robe, his hair and beard were silver-white, and a simple Taoist crown tied up his full head of silver hair, making him look free and natural.

However, when Bodhi Patriarch heard someone call out his real name, he immediately became unsettled and prepared to flee.

He originally didn't want to come to Chaos, but the battle between the eight Hunyuan was too tempting, so he couldn't resist and came here.

He thought that few people in the primordial world would recognize him now, but he didn't expect to be recognized as soon as he arrived.

Bodhi, who originally wanted to flee far away, dared not run away again after seeing the group of people from the Heavenly Court, because an aura locked onto him, and it would be futile to escape.

The Queen Mother of the West gathered all her power, and the Heavenly Tribulation Eye between her brows locked onto Bodhi. If it weren't for Yuan Jin's exclamation, he wouldn't have noticed that there was such a master around.

Late stage of Quasi-Saint!

Or rather, the peak of Quasi-Saint level!

Because the Queen Mother of the West sensed a threat from Bodhi, this person was definitely not simple.

Seeing that fleeing was not an option, Patriarch Bodhi decided to reveal himself openly. In truth, he had nothing to fear; with his own strength, he was confident that he could handle anything unless it was a Primordial Saint.

"So it's Elder Yuan Jin. It's been many years. You've grown from a little girl to what you are now!" Patriarch Bodhi looked at the people from the Heavenly Court, and finally fixed his gaze on Yuan Jin.

Yuan Jin was slightly excited upon seeing Patriarch Bodhi. He slowly stepped forward, carefully examined Patriarch Bodhi, and finally sighed, "This humble Daoist never expected to meet Senior Bodhi in my lifetime. Truly, life is unpredictable!"

"When the Kunwu Divine Court was destroyed, I thought you had perished at the hands of Shenni. I never expected you to survive. Good, very good!"

Upon hearing Yuan Jin mention Shen Ni, Bodhi gave a bitter smile and said softly, "He survived with only half a life left. If it weren't for His Majesty Kunwu's powerful rescue, he would have truly died. Now, only this crippled body remains between heaven and earth, utterly worthless!"

Yuan Jin shook his head and said, "It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive!"

Bodhi Patriarch was once the God Emperor of Kunwu Divine Court, possessing the cultivation of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Don't underestimate this level of cultivation. You should know that when the world was first created, a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal was comparable to a Quasi-Saint in the present day.

Back then, the three innate clans also shared a share of the Kunwu Divine Court. Yuan Jin lived in the Divine Court from childhood until the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts broke out, at which point he returned to the Phoenix Clan.

During their time in the Divine Court, Yuan Jin and his group were managed by Bodhi, who was his teacher and disciple.

Later, the Phoenix Clan rose to power, and Bodhi was injured. This is why Yuan Jin had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm, while Bodhi was only at the late Quasi-Saint stage!

After exchanging pleasantries, Yuan Jin spoke up, "Senior..."

Patriarch Bodhi quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't say that. We are at the same level, so just address each other as fellow Daoist. You mustn't say that, it's too much of a burden for this humble Daoist!"

Seeing Bodhi's resolute attitude, Yuan Jin said no more and then said, "Fellow Daoist Bodhi, would you be willing to serve in my Heavenly Court? With your cultivation and talent, you will surely be highly valued by His Majesty and enjoy the fortune and merit of the Heavenly Court. Why not?"

Upon hearing Yuan Jin's words, Bodhi felt a headache coming on. This was exactly what he feared most, lest he be drawn into the struggle between powerful forces, especially between Hunyuan forces.

Now, as the only mainstream force in the world and the nominal ruler of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Heavenly Court is naturally also the center of the struggle for power and interests.

Bodhi is now wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and yearns for freedom and ease, so he naturally will not enter the Heavenly Court and thus decisively rejected Yuan Jin.

west Wangmu understood after hearing their conversation, and finally said, "Since Fellow Daoist Bodhi is a great god from the ancient times, we will not force you. After this battle, you can come to the Heavenly Court for a chat. I believe the Great Heavenly Venerable would be very willing to get to know such a wonderful person as Fellow Daoist."

"Then I shall respectfully comply. It would be my honor to hear the Great Heavenly Venerable preach." Bodhi had no choice but to agree. He could not refuse the Heavenly Court's request again and again, otherwise he would be ungrateful.

……

Deep within the chaos, the eight people's momentum had reached its peak. At a certain moment, a simple and ancient banner appeared in Yuanshi's hand, and he launched a fierce attack.

Tongtian followed closely behind, the four swords of Zhuxian swirling around him, wielding the Qingping sword and unleashing streaks of sword energy.

And the two of them were attacking Nuwa!

With the Seven Treasures Tree in his right hand and the Divine Pestle in his left, Zhunti forged two top-tier innate spiritual treasures. The power of the Great Dao surged around him, and his golden body was instantly activated as he charged towards Houtu!

Only Taishang and Jieyin remained in place, and their opponent was naturally the strongest, Donghua.

This time, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Saints chose to launch a combined attack without the slightest hesitation or politeness.

The Supreme Being's Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda appeared above his head, and the Taiji Diagram in his hand stretched across the sky, with a golden bridge piercing through the chaos, instantly freezing Donghua in place.

Jieyin flew out, stepping on a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit. He was surrounded by the blessings of the three thousand worlds, with the rules of the Great Dao and the laws of heaven and earth all supporting the Jieyin Treasure Banner.

The Guiding Banner is a personal spiritual treasure for guiding others, and it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Faced with the two attacks, Donghua did not back down at all. Instead, he met them head-on and chose to confront them head-on.

This time, he wanted to subdue the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West, to make them understand the power of the Heavenly Emperor, and to completely shatter their pride!

Donghua stood on a twelve-petaled pure white lotus, held the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his right hand, and had the Heavenly Emperor Seal above his head.

The golden bridge manifested by the Taiji diagram has arrived. The suppressive power of the Taiji diagram forms a black and white world, on which the power of the Great Dao rules surges, as if splitting the chaos in two.

Faced with such an attack, Donghua directly summoned the Heavenly Emperor Seal above his head. As soon as the seal appeared, nine dragons soared into the sky.

In an instant, the entire chaos fell silent. Both the powerful chaotic storm and the chaotic air currents were suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor's Seal.

"boom!"

A violent collision resounded in the chaos, sending out boundless shockwaves that tore apart billions of miles of chaos, unleashing a chaotic storm that brought forth earth, fire, water, and wind.

This is also the first collision between the Primordial Treasure Taiji Diagram and the Primordial Treasure Chaos Bell!

There is no winner or loser!

Just after this collision, Donghua had barely recovered when Jieyin appeared behind him, the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Rules empowering the Jieyin Banner.

The powerful annihilating energy made Donghua feel as if his divine body was being cut apart, and this was only the annihilating energy that had just been released.

Donghua snorted coldly and said, "Is this all my two junior brothers can do? They're truly beneath their dignity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus beneath his feet radiated endless light, instantly turning the hazy chaos into a white expanse. With the blessing of the Great Dao, the purifying power formed billions of white lotuses, suppressing all the three thousand realms that were being guided.

"bump!"

A thunderous roar resounded in the chaos, a collision between the Pure White Lotus and the Golden Lotus of Merit!

This was also the first clash between the four great lotus platforms!

This day was destined to be unforgettable; this chaotic place witnessed so many firsts!

……

P.S.: Just to clarify, this isn't an abandoned project, nor will it be. I was on holiday for the Lunar New Year and took my mom out for a few days, so I really didn't have the energy to write. I hope you can understand.
