My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan's cultivation... why has it regressed again?"

Among the crowd of powerful figures watching, someone exclaimed in surprise!

"I was just about to break through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, how did I fall back to the peak of the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint?"

"Could it be that the breakthrough failed?"

"No! Did you feel it? Just now, an invisible force descended from the heavens and pressed down on Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan!"

"The Way of Heaven... it is the Way of Heaven that is suppressing him!"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

"Heavenly Dao suppression? Why?"

"Could it be because he followed the path of proving his Dao through the law of force? Does the Heavenly Dao not allow anyone to become a second Pangu, transcending its control?"

"Very likely! Think about it, ever since Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, the laws of this world have become increasingly difficult to comprehend. Especially for those cultivators who walk the path of the laws, breakthroughs have become increasingly difficult!"

"Could it be... that the Dao Ancestor is restricting these cultivators?"

Amid the discussions, many people's faces turned grim.

Many of them also follow the path of proving their faith through the laws of nature.

If the Heavenly Dao is truly restricting cultivators of the Great Dao of Laws, then their path will become increasingly difficult.

"Suppressed by the Heavenly Dao..."

On the outskirts of the battlefield, Lao Tzu muttered to himself, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He could clearly feel the arrival of that Heavenly Will just now.

That power was vast, cold, and ruthless, as if the will of the entire world was rejecting Meng Chuan.

"Teacher... is this going to block the path of those who wish to prove their Dao through the laws of the Primordial Chaos?"

The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother exchanged another glance, their eyes filled with solemnity.

"Heavenly Dao suppression... It seems that the Dao Ancestor does not want cultivators of the Great Dao of Laws to escape his control."

"Dong Wanggong said in a deep voice."

The Queen Mother of the West nodded: "No wonder, the second and third lectures at Zixiao Palace were all about the path of severing the three corpses and attaining the Primordial Chaos... That was the path that the Dao Ancestor paved for us long ago!"

Styx stood at a distance, sensing the lingering aura of the will of Heaven, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He originally followed the path of proving his Dao through the laws, but during his time listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, he saw one Quasi-Saint after another who had severed their Three Corpses appear. Fearing being left behind, he was also led astray and embarked on the path of proving his Dao through severing his Three Corpses.

"Without the Primordial Purple Qi, it's probably impossible to become a saint on this path..."

"Fortunately, I have now joined the Earthly Path camp. Under the arrangement of Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Witch Hou Tu promised me the position of Earthly Path Saint."

……

On the battlefield.

Although Meng Chuan's aura was suppressed to the peak of the mid-stage Quasi-Saint realm, his combat power had increased by several times compared to before!

The resonance with Pangu's true form not only gave him a great deal of insight into the Great Dao of Power, but also allowed his physical body, primordial spirit, and magical power to be comprehensively tempered.

At this moment, although his cultivation level has not broken through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, his combat power has far surpassed that of before!

"Now, it's time to settle the score!"

Meng Chuan looked up, his gaze locked onto Yuan Shi, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

The reason he held back last time in Kunlun was to give Tongtian face.

But Yuanshi didn't appreciate it and still came to his death, so he can't be blamed!

Presumably, even if Yuanshi were killed now, Tongtian would have nothing to say.

The God-Slaying Spear in his hand emitted a high-pitched clang, as if it too craved blood!

The next moment, he moved!

The God-Slaying Spear transformed into a bolt of black lightning, tearing through the void and piercing straight towards the Primordial Beginning!

This shot was much faster than the previous one!

Its power is also far greater than before!

Yuanshi's expression changed drastically; he realized that he couldn't dodge at all!

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and activate the Pangu Banner, unleashing chaotic sword energy as if it were free, in an attempt to block the attack.

However, it didn't work!

The God-Slaying Spear moved with unparalleled ease; wherever its tip passed, the chaotic sword energy melted away like ice and snow, shattering layer by layer!

"Junior Sister! Donghuang! Help me!"

Yuanshi shouted sharply, his voice already carrying a hint of fear.

Nuwa sighed inwardly, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers unfolded, transforming into a small world that suppressed the land from the side.

Taiyi also made a move at the same time. The Eastern Emperor Bell resounded, and a beam of crimson-gold light slammed into Meng Chuan's back.

However, Meng Chuan seemed to have anticipated this.

Without turning his head, he had thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls hanging above his head, casting heavy water droplets that blocked the suction force of the Mountain and River Map.

The fragment of the Chaos Pearl trembled slightly, and a stream of chaotic energy descended, blocking the pillar of light from the Eastern Emperor Bell.

But the God-Slaying Spear in his hand did not stop at all, and continued to stab at Yuanshi!

"No--!!"

Fear finally appeared in Yuan Shi's eyes.

He could feel that this shot would really kill him!

Even with the protection of the Pangu Banner, even if one is a late-stage Quasi-Saint, there is absolutely no chance of survival!

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy—!!"

Just then, a figure in a gray robe stepped out from the void and stood in front of Yuanshi.

Lao Tzu!

He raised his hand, and the Tai Chi diagram unfolded in the void, with the yin and yang fish flowing and transforming into a chaotic Yin-Yang array, blocking in front of him.

clang--!!

The God-Slaying Spear pierced the Tai Chi diagram, unleashing a deafening roar!

The Tai Chi symbol trembled violently, and the yin and yang fish spun wildly, yet it ultimately did not shatter.

Lao Tzu swayed slightly, the void beneath his feet shattered, yet he managed to stand firmly on his feet.

He looked at Meng Chuan, his expression calm, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness: "Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, please show mercy."

Meng Chuan holstered his gun, looked at Lao Zi, and his face darkened.

"Are you going to stop me?"

His voice was cold, filled with suppressed anger.

Lao Tzu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "He is my second brother."

"I know."

Meng Chuan sneered, "But he's also here to kill me!"

Lao Tzu's expression remained unchanged, but a complex look flashed in his eyes.

He knew he was in the wrong, but Yuanshi was his second brother, and he couldn't just watch him die.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, my second brother was in the wrong today. After this battle, I will discipline him strictly so that he will not cause you any more trouble."

Laozi said in a deep voice, "I beg you, fellow Daoist, to spare him this time for my sake."

"Let him off this time?"

Meng Chuan laughed, a mocking laugh. "Last time in Kunlun, I already gave you and Fellow Daoist Tongtian face and spared him once. He didn't appreciate it and still came to his death. Brother Laozi, do you think I should spare him a second time?"

Lao Tzu remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan, if you insist on killing him, then I have no choice but to offend you."

Lao Tzu slowly opened his mouth, and the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated in front of him, with the Yin and Yang energies flowing and radiating a vast pressure.

Meng Chuan's gaze sharpened, and he gripped the God-Slaying Spear tightly in his hand.

Lao Tzu was the head of the Three Pure Ones, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and who also possessed the Taiji Diagram, a supreme treasure created at the beginning of creation.

If he were to make a move and join forces with Yuanshi, Taiyi, and Nuwa, he truly wouldn't be able to kill Yuanshi.

Just as Meng Chuan was confronting Lao Tzu—

A figure in a green robe strode out from the void and blocked Laozi's path.

Reaching the heavens!

He held the Qingping Sword in his hand, with the Four Swords of Zhuxian appearing behind him. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of disappointment and anger.

"Brother, have you forgotten our agreement before we set off?"

His voice was filled with suppressed anger, "We agreed not to interfere in the conflict between the Lich King and the Demon King, nor in the conflict between my second brother and Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan! But you, in the end, broke your promise!"

Laozi looked at Tongtian, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Third brother, that's also your second brother. Do you want to watch your second brother be killed with your own eyes?"

Tongtian's face stiffened, and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the sword.

He looked at Laozi, then at Yuanshi in the distance, whose face was pale and whose eyes were filled with terror, and felt a mix of emotions...

He truly disliked Yuan Shi's character.

But Yuan Shi was, after all, his second brother!

If he were to actually watch Yuanshi be killed, it seemed... he couldn't do it!

"Fellow Daoist Meng Chuan!"

Tongtian suddenly spoke, his voice resolute, "I will stop Donghuang Taiyi for you! Even if you kill my second brother this time, I, Tongtian, will never hold a grudge against you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the four swords of Zhuxian were unleashed simultaneously, attacking Taiyi, the strongest of Meng Chuan's original three opponents, the demon emperor of the Eastern Clan!
