Chapter 82: The Saints Compete for the Treasure, and the Supreme Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones
A radiant light shone from Shouyang Mountain, signaling the imminent birth of a treasure no less than a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Upon hearing the news, all the sages of the heavens rushed to Shouyang Mountain. With their arrival, Taishang's plan to seize the treasure first fell through.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the Xuan Chu lineage, Tai Shang proposed that the six sages of the Heavenly Dao join forces to defeat the Xuan Chu lineage first, and as for the final ownership of the treasure, that would depend on their own abilities.
Taishang's proposal made the group of Heavenly Dao Saints hesitate. Admittedly, in the face of the Xuan Chu lineage's aggressive approach, the six Heavenly Dao Saints joining forces was indeed the best choice. But the question was, after defeating the Xuan Chu lineage, would they really have a chance to seize the treasure? As the senior disciple of the Xuanmen, Taishang's strength was also the greatest among all the Saints. With the help of Yuanshi, who could possibly defeat Taishang?
"Everyone, make a decision quickly. The treasure is about to be revealed. If we delay, it will fall into the hands of the Xuan Chu lineage, and none of us will benefit." Seeing that the others remained unmoved, Tai Shang was extremely anxious and continued to speak.
"Don't worry, elder brother, I will definitely lend you a hand." Yuanshi was the first to step forward to support Taishang. Yuanshi had already considered that as long as he could defeat the Xuan Chu lineage, Taishang would have to join forces with him if he wanted to defeat others within the Xuanmen. In this way, even if he didn't get the treasure in the end, he could still get some benefits from Taishang. Either way, he would be at a disadvantage, so why not?
"Okay, we agree," Yuanshi said first, and the others had no choice but to agree as well.
Meanwhile, Tongtian and the others were also secretly transmitting their voices: "Once the treasure appears, I will use the Four Swords of Zhuxian to stop Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi, and Nuwa. Houtu, you and the Twelve Ancestral Witches will join forces to deal with the strongest, Taishang. Styx, you will deal with Yuanshi. Understand?"
Tongtian also had his own ideas. Among the Six Sages of Heaven, Taishang was the strongest, followed by Jieyin, Yuanshi, and Nuwa. Zhenyuanzi and Zhunti were the weakest. Styx had just entered the Hunyuan realm and definitely couldn't deal with Taishang. Houtu would probably be in trouble too. Don't be fooled by Houtu's control of the Earthly Dao and the support of its origin. As a brother who had been with him for countless years, Tongtian knew Taishang's character all too well. Taishang must have some unknown secrets. In addition, after the human race became the protagonist of heaven and earth, Taishang and the Human Sect's fortune was greatly enhanced, and their strength reached a new level. Therefore, Tongtian directly sent Houtu and the Twelve Ancestral Witches together. With the addition of the Pangu phantom, no matter how many trump cards Taishang had, it would be useless. Styx could fight Yuanshi, and even if he couldn't win, he could still fight to a standstill with his three top-grade innate spiritual treasures and Styx's Blood God Child.
"Alright, Brother Tongtian (Senior Brother)," Houtu and Styx had no objections.
And so, both sides waited quietly for the treasure to be born. A thousand years later, an even larger beam of light shot straight into the sky, and then a treasure seal slowly rose into the air.
"Make your move!" Tongtian and Taishang shouted simultaneously.
Tongtian unleashed the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, charging straight at Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi, and Nuwa. The swords stopped before them, and Tongtian, with the Chaos Bell above his head and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram beneath his feet, said, "Gentlemen, why not instruct this sect leader on the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!"
"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, activate!" With Tongtian's loud shout, the evil energy from all directions frantically converged on Shouyang Mountain, and an ancient and solemn formation suddenly appeared.
"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!" Upon seeing the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation appear, Zhunti was instantly reminded of unbearable memories deep in his mind—the greatest humiliation of his life.
"Everyone, the Zhuxian Sword Formation that reaches the heavens is here. I'm afraid we can't help Taishang and the others." Blocked by the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Zhen Yuanzi was helpless, but he didn't feel sorry for it. Zhen Yuanzi wasn't very interested in treasures to begin with.
"In that case, let's deal with Tongtian's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation first. Hopefully, Taishang and Yuanshi can hold on. But be careful, Tongtian now has a supreme innate treasure and is no longer the same as before." Jieyin nodded and said.
The four entered the Zhuxian Sword Formation at the same time. Having learned from the battle in the East Sea, they were all very cautious this time, which made it difficult for Tongtian to find an opportunity to strike, and they could only remain in a stalemate.
On the other side, Styx, wielding the Yuan Tu and Abi swords, and riding the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Lotus, charged straight at Primordial, a cold smile on his face, saying, "Primordial, come, let this master test your strength!"
"Hmph!" Seeing that Styx dared to fight him one-on-one, Yuanshi was very disdainful and said, "Styx, I admire your courage. Since you want to humiliate yourself, then I will grant your wish!" After saying that, Yuanshi first protected his body with the Heavenly Celebration Clouds, and then urged the Pangu Banner to strike Styx.
Faced with the attack of the Pangu Banner, Styx activated the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and a red lotus force wall appeared in front of Styx, blocking the attack of the Pangu Banner for him.
All five Heavenly Saints were stopped, leaving only Taishang rushing towards the treasure. But just as Taishang approached the treasure, Houtu blocked his way, saying with a cold expression, "Taishang, why are you in such a hurry? Let me deal with you."
Upon seeing that the visitor was Houtu, Taishang breathed a sigh of relief. Among the Xuan Chu lineage, Taishang was most wary of Tongtian. Perhaps Houtu, who controlled the Earthly Dao, would one day surpass Tongtian, but for now, Houtu was no match for Taishang.
"Hehe!" Taishang chuckled and said, "Houtu, you should know that you alone are no match for me. I really don't know where you get the courage to stand in my way?"
Houtu shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, you are right. I am indeed no match for you alone. But how can you be so sure that I am alone?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice rang out from outside Shouyang Mountain: "The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is activated!"
The phantom of Pangu, formed by the union of the twelve Ancestral Witches, suddenly appeared. Upon seeing the phantom of Pangu, Taishang's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you still dare to be so sure that you will defeat me?" Houtu said to Your Majesty with a mocking expression.
"Houtu, after the Lich War, the Wu Clan retreated to the Netherworld. This was agreed upon by the Dao Ancestor and the Xuan Chu Dao Venerable, and it was also recognized by the Great Dao. How dare you let the Twelve Ancestral Witches appear?" Taishang said with a dark face.
"Supreme Lord, my Wu Clan's departure from the Primordial Continent and retreat to the Netherworld is merely an abandonment of the struggle for the title of protagonist of Heaven and Earth, but it does not mean that my Wu Clan cannot appear in the Primordial World. Enough nonsense, take this!" Houtu did not want to waste any more words with Supreme Lord, and directly urged the Judge's Pen in her hand to strike Supreme Lord, with the phantom of Pangu following closely behind.
Taishang dodged the attack with great difficulty, and angrily said, "Houtu, you forced me into this! Where are Taiqing Daoist, Yuqing Daoist, and Shangqing Daoist?!"
With a roar from Taishang, three figures separated from his body. This was Taishang's trump card, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
"Supreme Lord, you are shameless! I will never let you get away with this!" As soon as the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones appeared, Tongtian roared from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, because Tongtian sensed his own pure Qi source in the Shangqing Daoist.
Meanwhile, Yuanshi, who was fighting Styx, also looked extremely pale. He was momentarily dazed and almost got knocked away by Styx.
In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun was originally sitting calmly, but after seeing the appearance of the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, and after Taishang used his trump card, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he could no longer sit still. Both sides had revealed their trump cards, and it might turn into a great battle between saints. The prehistoric world had only been stable for a few years and could not withstand such turmoil.
Hongjun left Zixiao Palace, intending to stop the great battle between the two sides, but he was stopped by Xuanchu not long after he left.
"Hongjun, why are you in such a hurry? Where do you want to go?" Xuan Chu asked Hongjun with a smile.
