Chapter 225

Under these circumstances, perhaps only a Saint can remain in the Chaos World for an extended period.

If it were a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, they would be fine in the short term, but long-term exposure would have a massive impact on them.

Moreover, the Chaos World is boundless; under normal circumstances, even a Saint would not venture too deep into the chaos.

To accidentally get lost in the chaos—

that would be a laughingstock.

"Tongtian, let me, your elder brother, see how much your strength has grown since the Investiture of the Gods." Yuanshi Tianzun said with a cold expression, the Pangu Banner in his hand rippling with the power to destroy the heavens.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, since you have said so, it seems this battle is unavoidable." Tongtian Jiaozhu said faintly, "However, for this battle, perhaps we can add a wager."

At this moment.

Tongtian Jiaozhu finally revealed his scheme.

His disciples seizing the four Immortal-Slaying Swords was a scheme, and him blocking Yuanshi Tianzun was the same.

He knew that his elder brother from the past, Yuanshi Tianzun, also possessed many treasures in his hands.

Those treasures.

Were precisely Tongtian Jiaozhu's goal.

"A wager..."

Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned; he could not immediately grasp the meaning behind Tongtian Jiaozhu's words.

"It's very simple, a bet." Tongtian Jiaozhu said in a deep voice, "In this battle, if you lose, you must hand over at least half of the treasures you possess."

"Half of my treasures." Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes narrowed.

Even though he had bestowed many treasures upon his disciples, he still held a certain quantity himself.

For Yuanshi Tianzun, only a few were of the utmost importance, such as the Pangu Banner, or the Myriad Heavens Celebration Clouds, and so on.

Of course, when he calculated the Myriad Heavens Celebration Clouds not long ago, their origin had been damaged, and their quality had dropped significantly.

But regardless, for them as Saints, there were not many spiritual treasures that could be of use.

For low-quality spiritual treasures, a casual strike from a Saint would likely be enough to destroy them.

To withstand the power of a Saint, a spiritual treasure still needed to be of a very high grade.

Therefore, even if he really had to hand over half of his spiritual treasures, Yuanshi Tianzun felt it was acceptable.

In reality, for Tongtian Jiaozhu, he wanted all the treasures in Yuanshi Tianzun's hands, but clearly, Yuanshi Tianzun would never agree to such a bet.

Thus, Tongtian Jiaozhu settled for the next best thing.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, then what can you use as a wager?" Yuanshi Tianzun said faintly.

He was handing over half of his spiritual treasures; was Tongtian also handing over half of his?

Yuanshi Tianzun had no interest in such a bet.

Even if he obtained half of the spiritual treasures in Tongtian's hands, what help would that be?

"What am I using as a wager?" Tongtian Jiaozhu grinned, "If I lose, I will give you the four Immortal-Slaying Swords for real, including my Immortal-Slaying Formation Map."

"Hiss..." Yuanshi Tianzun gasped; he had not expected Tongtian Jiaozhu to offer such a wager.

The four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the Immortal-Slaying Formation Map, when combined, could set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array.

Within the sword array, it would take four Saints to break this top-tier formation.

Clearly, when Tongtian Jiaozhu handed over the four Immortal-Slaying Swords, he would also erase his own imprint from them.

Unlike now, even if the four Immortal-Slaying Swords were obtained by Chan Sect disciples, the Saint's imprint remained deep within the swords.

This proved that if Tongtian Jiaozhu wanted to use the four Immortal-Slaying Swords, he could do so just by summoning them.

Precisely because of this, Yuanshi Tianzun had absolutely no interest in the four Immortal-Slaying Swords obtained during the Investiture of the Gods kalpa.

But now, it was different.

Tongtian Jiaozhu personally stated that if he lost, he would give him the four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the formation map, which filled him with interest.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, are you speaking the truth?" Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes held a trace of longing; who wouldn't be interested in such a supreme treasure?

"Naturally, it is the truth." Tongtian Jiaozhu said with a smile, "However, Daoist Yuanshi, the prerequisite is that you must defeat me; otherwise, you must hand over the spiritual treasures on your person with both hands."

"Hmph..." Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly.

As a Saint, he was an extremely proud person.

Whether in the past or the present.

Among the six Saints, if there was anyone he was wary of, it was at most his Senior Brother, the Saint Laozi.

Regarding this elder brother of his, Yuanshi Tianzun still found him slightly unfathomable.

As for Nuwa or the two Western Saints, Yuanshi Tianzun was confident he could defeat them.

As for Tongtian, his performance in the Investiture of the Gods war was astonishing, but that was due to the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, not because Tongtian's own strength exceeded his, Yuanshi Tianzun's.

"Tongtian, then I, your elder brother, will let you know that every choice you make is wrong." Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly, "That is why you failed during the Investiture of the Gods era, and the Jie Sect was annihilated."

"This time, you will fail again, and your four Immortal-Slaying Swords will become my treasures."

"..." Tongtian Jiaozhu said nothing.

Yuanshi Tianzun's arrogant display meant Tongtian needed no empty words.

He would use facts to tell Yuanshi Tianzun that the winner this time would be him, not the other party.

"Make your move." A flash of light appeared on Tongtian Jiaozhu's hand, and the Qingping Sword appeared in his grasp; as the Qingping Sword that had accompanied his growth all along, its quality was not inferior to a top-tier innate spiritual treasure.

This was a treasure that had grown along with Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Much like the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree in Zhunti's hand, it was a similar situation.

It could be said that in some respects, the Qingping Sword was even handier than the four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

"Tongtian, then you shall experience the power of the Pangu Banner." Yuanshi Tianzun laughed in anger; Tongtian was looking down on him, actually letting him strike first.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun felt he had been slapped in the face.

"Boom—"

Streams of chaotic divine light, thousands of feet long, erupted from the Pangu Banner, and this chaotic world instantly began to churn.

Under the dense chaotic divine light, time and space were instantly crushed, and the surrounding Great Dao laws fell into destruction.

If the Saintly power of this strike were to erupt in the Primordial World, it would be enough to shatter a portion of the Primordial World directly.

Therefore, during the Investiture of the Gods era, these Saints could be considered to have been holding back.

But in the Chaos World, they did not need to restrain their power, and the power belonging to the Hunyuan Daluo level was truly displayed.

"Not bad." Tongtian laughed loudly, and the Qingping Sword in his hand also began to dance, streams of green sword light tearing through the chaos, moving to block the Pangu Banner's chaotic divine light.

These green sword lights contained endless sword Dao power.

One could see other Great Dao laws circling around the sword Dao, as if the sword Dao were supreme.

This was the Sword Great Dao that Tongtian had realized.

Of the three thousand Great Daos, the sword Dao is supreme.

With the help of that Sword Great Dao, Tongtian Jiaozhu had taken this Great Dao law to an extremely deep level.

"Rumble..."

The sword light and the chaotic divine light collided and shattered continuously.

The entire Chaos World was also constantly shattering, reforming, and then shattering and reforming again.

Roughly speaking.

The chaotic divine light released by the Pangu Banner and Tongtian Jiaozhu's sword light were evenly matched.

Seeing this scene, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was somewhat stunned.

He had not expected.

That his attack would be so easily blocked by Tongtian Jiaozhu.
