Chapter 588

He first sternly rebuked these arrogant disciples of the Chan Sect, then softened his tone and continued: "I know your intentions. As disciples of the Chan Sect, we have always stood united, willing to sacrifice everything for each other. But we must act according to the circumstances! For the safety of the Three Pure Ones' junior sisters, you had better obediently return to Gold Ao Island to watch the battle!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the present quasi-sage powerhouses and began arranging things in an orderly manner: "Disciple Immortal Master Black Cloud, Disciple Immortal Master Coiled Head, Disciple Immortal Master Pilu, Disciple Immortal Master Golden Light, Disciple Immortal Master Spirit Fang, Disciple Immortal Master Golden Hoop—you are responsible for escorting the junior brothers and sisters back to Gold Ao Island. Remember! Unless we win, no matter what happens, you must not let them leave the island!"

"Disciple Qin Wan, you ten heavenly kings are proficient in formations—hurry to support Junior Sister Three Pure Ones and join in besieging that fellow Yuanshi!"

"Junior Sister Metal Spirit, Junior Sister Turtle Spirit, Junior Sister Wu Dang, you three go assist Goddess Nüwa, but do not foolishly clash head-on with that fellow Reception—just stay beside her and look for opportunities to help Goddess Nüwa!"

"Disciple Zhao Gongming, come with me to help Great Immortal Zhenyuan!"

It must be said, Patriarch Duobao appears honest but is actually exceptionally clever.

His arrangement is truly just right!

Though the Chan Sect disciples not selected for battle felt some reluctance in their hearts, they also understood this was the best arrangement—the eldest senior brother was considering their safety. Thus, they too could only obediently return to Gold Ao Island to watch the battle.

And the Ten Heavenly Kings of Gold Ao Island and Holy Mother Metal Spirit, following Patriarch Duobao's arrangement, respectively joined the four major battlefields.

……

Clang!

Upon arriving at the Celestial Battlefield, Patriarch Duobao waved the Chaos Extinction Sword, slashing a fierce sword beam at Yuanshi. This sword beam tore through spacetime, carrying terrifying killing intent straight toward Yuanshi, even shattering the colorful radiance brushed out by his Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree!

Tremendous power!

"Duobao! You these quasi-sage juniors dare to interfere in the battle of a mixed-yuan level powerhouse?" Yuanshi turned his head to look at Patriarch Duobao and roared.

Hum!

Before his words faded, he brushed out another stream of colorful radiance, wrapping Patriarch Duobao's sword beam into endless chaotic spacetime.

Chatter!

Patriarch Duobao lightly curled his lip, then immediately swung again the Chaos Spirit Treasure Chaos Extinction Sword, continuously slashing out countless sword beams at Yuanshi. Each sword beam seemed capable of cleaving the heavens, with boundless power.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming also struck again.

He waved his hand, and forty-nine Dinghai Divine Pearls flew into the air, forming among themselves some profound heavenly principle, their qi interconnected.

These divine pearls occasionally emerged from hidden void, transforming into flowing light that smashed toward Yuanshi.

Moreover, Zhenyuan's offensive was even more terrifying to the extreme.

He employed the Great Freedom Law, aided by the primordial heavenly way power of Pangu's strength to empower himself, reversing the battle against the heavens. His attack caused heaven and earth to crack, vast expanses of the heavens shattered, revealing the terrifying scene within chaos.

Damn it!

Due to the involvement of Patriarch Duobao and Zhao Gongming, Yuanshi suddenly felt immense pressure, momentarily falling into a disadvantage, beaten into a rather sorry state.

As a lofty heaven-path sage, he absolutely could not tolerate himself being so sorry.

Hum!

Thus, Yuanshi's divine thought stirred, and immediately in the void surged forth streams of profound and mysterious divine radiance, flowing into his body.

As these divine radiance merged, Yuanshi's entire body emitted a vast and mighty pressure, stronger than before by countless times.

Because this is the might of heaven's path, intending to suppress all beings.

It is the pressure of heaven's path!

"Zhenyuan, do you know why, though we are both mixed-yuan golden immortals, we are called heaven-path sages?"

Yuanshi stared coldly at Zhenyuan, his voice deep as he asked: "It is because we can mobilize heaven-path power to empower ourselves; fighting us, you are actually fighting heaven-path itself!"

Regarding this, Zhenyuan had not yet spoken when Patriarch Duobao began cursing first.

"You noisy old fellow!"

Clang!

After speaking, he again gripped his sword and charged toward Yuanshi.

The battle continues!

It must be said, after receiving the empowerment of heaven-path power, Yuanshi's combat power surged.

Even facing the combined attack of Zhenyuan and others, he could fight evenly matched, even secretly gaining a slight edge.

If not for his fear of the power of the Chaos Spirit Treasure Chaos Extinction Sword in Duobao's hand, Yuanshi could truly reverse the situation and firmly hold the advantage.

This also made Yuanshi increasingly covet that Chaos Spirit Treasure Chaos Extinction Sword.

The greed in his eyes could not be concealed!

Kill!

As long as he kills this Duobao brat, he can obtain this unique Chaos Spirit Treasure in heaven and earth!

Then, within the Honghuang heaven and earth, besides Patriarch Hongjun, who could contend with him?

……

Besides Yuanshi's battlefield, the other three battlefields were also burning hot.

Especially after the Chan Sect quasi-sage realm disciples joined the battle, the intensity of the fight rose in a straight line.

The void was torn apart inch by inch, ancient star rivers surged.

The ancient sun and moon stars, existing since time immemorial, seemed to have lost their luster.

Only the occasional burst of splendid radiance illuminated the boundless Honghuang heaven and earth!

Yet within that splendid radiance lay hidden killing intent that even heaven-path sages feared.

As the battle continued, the Honghuang heaven and earth trembled ever more.

Vast expanses of ancient starry skies were completely destroyed, giving rise to endless chaotic geomantic wind, fire, water; numerous origins, orders, and laws were destroyed.

This is the framework of the world being damaged!

As the earth rose and fell, countless mountain rivers and great meridians were pulverized, every cave paradise destroyed.

Even a ripple of battle aftermath fell from heaven onto Kunlun Mountain.

The boundless Kunlun Mountain was devastated beyond recognition, countless living beings suffered undeserved disaster, reduced to nothingness.

For the billions of beings in Honghuang, this is undoubtedly a great catastrophe.

The battles between saints are simply trying to turn the Honghuang world back into chaos!

This terrifying degree simply makes it hard to imagine.

This makes all the heavens and myriad worlds watching the battle feel terrified.

They have no doubt in their hearts that if this battle continues, no matter which heavenly Dao saint wins in the end, even the supreme Honghuang world with the most complete origin, order, and laws will probably be unable to withstand it. Could it be that the Honghuang world really has to return to that vast and chaotic state?

At this moment, the powerhouses of all heavens and myriad worlds have fallen into silence.

Imagine, destroying a supreme world—what a terrifying sight that would be!

……

Meanwhile, those heavenly Dao saints currently engaged in fierce battle obviously have not considered the consequences after the battle ends.

Now they are riding a tiger and find it hard to stop.

Unless they are willing to directly bear the opponent's terrifying offensive, but that is obviously impossible.

Therefore, the battle continues endlessly, with everyone like they have gone berserk from killing.

"Hahaha! Old Master, I want to see how long you can last in my Zhuxian Sword Formation!" The leader of the Chan Teaching laughed triumphantly.

"Hmph! Chan Master, although I admit I cannot break your Zhuxian Sword Formation, what can you do to me?" Laozi, wearing the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda on his head, continuously cast Daoist arts toward the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram, countering without yielding.

"Is that so? You won't really think I only have the Zhuxian Sword Formation, will you?" The Chan Teaching leader suddenly gave a cold smile.

In one look/p>

Hum!

As his words fell, he waved his hand again, casting countless arts into the void.

Instantly, within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, another ancient formation even more terrifying appeared, pressing toward Laozi.

Laozi was greatly startled; he never expected that under these circumstances, Chan Master still had a backup plan.

Not long after, Laozi was beaten into a sorry state by this ancient formation, in perilous situations, and even his breath became much weakened.

It can be said, without exaggeration.

Among the four battlefields, the heavenly Dao saint most likely to be defeated first is Laozi, who opposes the Chan Teaching leader single-handedly!

Because the formation power controlled by the Chan Teaching leader is truly too terrifying!

Even Laozi, who possesses the innate supreme treasure Taiji Diagram, is far from being his match.

"Jieyin, Zhunti, why don't you hurry up and finish your battles, then come help me?!" Laozi's face turned iron-blue, seizing a moment of breath, and hastily sent a voice transmission to Jieyin and Zhunti.

Upon hearing Laozi's words, Jieyin and Zhunti remained silent, as if they dared not even divert their attention to recover.

Go settle the battle to help him?

Now they themselves are hard-pressed to survive!

Even if they unleashed the ancient Buddha golden body, they could do nothing against the Goddess Nüwa and Zhenyuanzi, let alone defeat them.

If they had this ability, they would have long seized the opportunity to go to the Jie Teaching side to convert its disciples!

How could they be like now, fully focused yet still somewhat flustered from being beaten?

Moreover, on another battlefield.

Yuanshi Tianzun, although not in the most dangerous situation, is absolutely the most aggrieved, without exception!

From the start of the battle to now, he has been trapped by the Three Pure Ones sisters in one ancient formation after another, these formations layered upon each other, like nesting dolls.

Whenever he exerts all his strength to break one ancient formation, he immediately falls into the next great formation.

He has not even had the chance to attack the Three Pure Ones sisters, from beginning to end he has been breaking formations!

Breaking formations nonstop, endlessly breaking formations!

The key is, each of these ancient formations has boundless power, making him dare not be the slightest bit careless.

Because if he is even slightly careless, even he will be injured.

Yuanshi Tianzun's offensive power is strong, but he has few defensive supreme treasures, unlike Laozi who has the Taiji Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, etc.

Therefore, it is also thanks to his strong offensive power that whenever he encounters great terror and great danger in the formations, he can violently break through with force; otherwise, he would have been injured long ago.

However, with the addition of the Ten Heavenly Kings of Jin'ao Island, his pressure is also increasing.

Even if he displays his greatest divine abilities and techniques, he begins to feel that breaking the formations has become extremely difficult.

If this continues, Yuanshi Tianzun really cannot guarantee whether he will first break through all the formations of the Three Pure Ones sisters, or first exhaust his primordial heavenly Dao power and thus be severely injured.

……

The many powerhouses of the Honghuang world are continuously fighting.

Meanwhile, in the chaos world where Ye Qin is.

Under a towering, boundless giant tree, Ye Qin sat cross-legged, his divine sense merging into the Tree of Life, continuously refining this divine tree.

Hum!

After an unknown time, the Tree of Life suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Ye Qin sat in the chaos world under a towering huge tree, this tree being exactly one of the five Hongmeng innate spiritual roots, the Tree of Life, with auspicious colors cascading down like a waterfall, enveloping Ye Qin, making him appear divine and extraordinary.

Without doubt, this towering giant tree is the Tree of Life.

Suddenly, the Tree of Life trembled, branches swaying, leaves rustling, as if blown by a fierce wind. As it swayed, the falling auspicious colors became more mysterious, each strand seemingly containing endless primordial Dao power, profound and yet more profound.

Ye Qin immersed himself in it, his comprehension of the Dao deepened, his spirit became extraordinarily open, as if he fully understood the ultimate truth of the universe and the source of the Dao.

Following that, the Tree of Life seemed to come alive, emitting mysterious divine sounds, expounding the most profound and obscure Dao principles. The Dao originally had no form or sound, yet in this divine sound it was laid out one by one, awe-inspiring.

After a long time, the Tree of Life stopped swaying, but on every branch emerged a half-transparent long river, as if the branches themselves were composed of these long rivers. Among them, the long rivers in the three thousand thickest branches are evolving endless primordial Dao power; it turns out they contain the three thousand primordial long rivers!

The long rivers contained in the remaining branches are the minor primordial Dao outside the three thousand great Dao, which together condense into this Tree of Life. Moreover, each leaf of the Tree of Life has become even more tender green and crystalline, filled with endless vitality, not just the vitality of a single being, but the gathered vitality of hundreds of millions of beings. It seems as if each leaf contains a world, and within those worlds exist countless beings, mysterious to the extreme.

Time flows, cultivation knows no years. After an unknown time, the Tree of Life ceased expounding the Dao's ultimate truth, and those primordial long rivers also hid and vanished. However, a new phenomenon appeared. Mysterious divine steles began to condense on the Tree of Life, enveloped by misty divine light, indistinct. At the same time, endless formations and restrictions emerged on the main trunk of the Tree of Life. As time passed, these formations and restrictions are being destroyed by some supreme power, as if a supreme terror is refining within the Tree of Life.

At a certain moment, Ye Qin suddenly let out a low cry: "All laws have no extreme, condense the vast! The Dao has no form—Open!" Accompanied by his low cry, the formations and restrictions inside the Tree of Life instantly shattered. Then, the boundless Tree of Life began to emit Ye Qin's aura, branches and leaves swaying continuously, and this time, the swaying of branches and leaves was toward Ye Qin, as if the Tree of Life acknowledged him as its master, wonderfully boundless.

At this moment, Ye Qin slowly opened his chaos eyes, his eyes flowing with three thousand primordial Dao power, able to see through all falsehood at a glance. He sighed: "As expected of one of the five Hongmeng innate spiritual roots, the Tree of Life, it actually took me hundreds of millions of years to successfully refine it!"

By this point, Ye Qin had endured countless ages and finally succeeded in refining the Tree of Life, also coming to understand its myriad profound mysteries. Though these mysteries were of great use to him, his thoughts were not focused on them. For after refining the Tree of Life, the system notification in his mind arrived as promised.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining opportunity—Tree of Life, reward: critical strike opportunity, Primordial Divine Tree!"

"Ding! Congratulations, transmigrator Bixiao, for receiving host feedback, reward: a strand of Primordial Qi!" (End of chapter)
