Chapter 98

He had left behind some measures to protect the human race, ensuring no innocent lives would be harmed.

Meanwhile, in the Fire Cloud Cave, Hongyun watched the terrifying battle, feeling shocked beyond measure.

"How can Lin Xia be so bold?"

In his view, Lin Xia was somewhat too reckless.

Laozi was, after all, the head of the Three Pure Ones, possessing terrifying strength and a deep foundation.

Yet Lin Xia was merely a Daluo Jin Xian.

A gap of a full major realm was almost impossible to bridge.

Charging in so recklessly, he would likely be taught a harsh lesson.

And in the Nüwa Palace.

Nüwa soon noticed the battle in the Primordial World, and her expression could not help but turn ugly.

This Laozi was truly shameless to the extreme; stealing the human race's fortune was one thing, but he actually dared to lay hands on Lin Xia.

However, Nüwa did not strike immediately; instead, her gaze remained fixed on the battlefield. As long as Lin Xia was in the slightest danger, she would descend instantly.

Lin Xia held the Kongtong Seal, his aura surging, his divine might peerless.

The vast Daluo pressure, like a boundless sea, swept forth, far exceeding the realm of a Daluo Jin Xian.

Deploying the Great Stellar Art, millions of primordial stars above the heavens erupted with stellar power, which descended upon him.

The aura around Lin Xia surged, standing almost on equal footing with Laozi, not falling behind in the slightest.

Seeing that he had failed to take down Lin Xia after such a long time, a trace of embarrassment could not help but appear on Laozi's face.

To be locked in such a stalemate with a child.

For him, it was truly too shameful.

The Three Pure Ones were all people of dignity; he could not afford to lose face like this.

Laozi no longer held back, directly manifesting the Taiji Diagram to suppress Lin Xia.

The Taiji Diagram stirred up endless space-time power, shaking the universe.

Endless divine light erupted from Lin Xia's body; his small face was extremely serious, and under the illumination of the divine light, he appeared remarkably heroic.

He directly evolved the Kongtong Seal, transforming it into a mountain and river landscape to meet the attack.

The Kongtong Seal was the human race's merit treasure; blessed with the human race's fortune, it transformed into a great killing weapon in Lin Xia's hands, its power terrifying to the extreme.

The Kongtong Seal and the Taiji Diagram collided with a heaven-shaking impact.

Boom!

The momentum was vast, shaking the nine heavens.

Instantly, the void collapsed, and immortal light shattered.

It unleashed endless terror.

The many great powers of the Primordial World watching the scene here could not help but cast their eyes toward it.

"Lin Xia is actually battling Laozi!"

"A mere Daluo, yet he can contend with a Quasi-Saint? How is this possible?"

"This level of strength is truly too terrifying."

"Laozi is the head of the Three Pure Ones; even after bringing out the Taiji Diagram, he still cannot defeat him."

Many great powers of the Primordial World exclaimed in succession, revealing expressions of disbelief.

And Laozi, who was trading blows with Lin Xia, felt even more astonished in his heart.

Originally, he had thought Lin Xia was just a child.

Even if he had luckily attained the Dao as a supreme Daluo.

But the gap in realms was impossible to bridge.

He was fundamentally not worth much attention.

He had not expected the opponent's combat power to be so astonishing.

He had even brought out his Innate Treasure, yet he still could not do anything to the opponent.

This left him with no face.

Filled with anger, Laozi no longer held back and directly deployed his origin divine ability: One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

One transformed into three.

The three clones all possessed seventy percent of his original strength.

Each clone held a spirit treasure and attacked Lin Xia from three directions.

He was determined to teach Lin Xia a lesson today.

Just at this moment, a terrifying Hunyuan Daluo pressure descended, and Nüwa's figure suddenly appeared.

A strike of Hunyuan magic power was unleashed, and Laozi's three clones instantly collapsed, revealing his true form as he was sent flying.

"Brother Laozi, is it not a bit too shameless for you to strike like this?"

Nüwa said with a cold expression.

Her gaze looked toward Laozi, her eyes flashing with chilliness.

Laozi's face flushed slightly, his body trembling with anger. He was excessive?

Was it not Lin Xia who struck first today?

And just at this moment, a figure suddenly descended upon the East Sea.

Lin Xia and Nüwa looked up.

They saw a Daoist standing above the void, unfathomable and calm, as if he had merged with this world.

It was precisely Hongjun.

"Teacher!"

Seeing Hongjun suddenly appear, Laozi felt incredibly excited.

Heaven knows how much grievance he had suffered today.

Originally on the verge of attaining the Dao, he had suddenly failed to establish his sect.

Later, he battled Lin Xia and failed to take him down, losing all his face.

Hongjun glanced at Laozi indifferently without speaking, then said to Nüwa:

"Nüwa, your brother Laozi establishing a sect here is in accordance with the will of Heaven and follows the heavenly numbers; you must not obstruct him further."

Hearing this, Nüwa could not help but frown.

"Teacher, I have already established the Human Sect, yet Brother Laozi still wants to use the human race as a foundation to establish a doctrine. Is this not plotting to seize the fortune of my Human Sect?"

"The human race has a heavenly mandate, and Laozi establishing a sect is also acting in accordance with Heaven,"

Hongjun did not answer directly, but said leisurely.

Lin Xia chuckled in his heart; Hongjun was such an old fox.

He clearly wanted to divide the human race's fortune but wouldn't say it explicitly, always using the will of Heaven as an excuse.

Not long ago, he had deduced the human race and discovered that the heavenly secrets were being interfered with; it must have been Hongjun who acted. ### CHAPTER 100 **Laozi Becomes a Saint**
