Chapter 294

~8 min read 1,465 words

Tongtian stood below, the God-Slaying Sword in his hand waving in the void, the terrifying river of time merging into the God-Slaying Sword.

At this moment, Tongtian was not only enduring the backlash of the Myriad Heavens God-Demon move but also the power of the Heavenly Dao's Light of Judgment.

Under the action of both powers, the injuries Tongtian himself sustained became even more severe.

His physical body was constantly collapsing, blood gushing out; the blood at the corners of his mouth gushed out recklessly, as if a faucet had been turned on.

One must know that Tongtian's current physical body was not ordinary; it had been forged into the Hunyuan Sword Body. Even if Tongtian stood still, a Quasi-Saint holding an Innate Treasure might not necessarily be able to cause any injury to Tongtian's physical body.

Like other Saints, even if they possessed Hunyuan Daluo strength, their physical bodies had not reached the Hunyuan Daluo level.

But now, Tongtian's physical body could no longer withstand the pressure of this aftermath.

It was evident how terrifying the energy explosion was at the core of the Myriad Heavens God-Demon Slash and the Light of Judgment.

Even if the current Tongtian entered the core of this energy, he would likely be instantly annihilated and killed.

That was power sufficient to kill almost most Hunyuan Daluo.

At the same time, not only Tongtian's physical body, but Tongtian's soul was also enduring immense pressure.

It was fortunate that the remaining power of the Hunyuan Creation Pill was supporting the current Tongtian.

But Tongtian also understood that if he didn't withstand the Light of Judgment, when the Hunyuan Creation Pill was exhausted, that would be the moment of his death.

As for whether there would be a next wave of Heavenly Dao tribulation after shattering the Light of Judgment, that was no longer within Tongtian's consideration.

If he couldn't withstand the Heavenly Dao's attack now, what was the point of talking about the future?

"Phew..."

Tongtian took a deep breath, a trace of firmness in his eyes.

"I hope I can hold on," Tongtian murmured.

The Myriad Heavens God-Demon Slash could only withstand the attack of the Light of Judgment, but to shatter the Light of Judgment, that was still not something he could do.

On this point, Tongtian already understood during the confrontation with the Light of Judgment.

But now, being in a stalemate with the Light of Judgment released by the Heavenly Dao was of no benefit to Tongtian; it only had disadvantages.

In such a state, he couldn't last long.

"Hunyuan Sword Scripture, Sword Soul Furnace."

A void furnace shrouded Tongtian; this furnace released endless flames, covering Tongtian within.

With the release of these flames, Tongtian's aura was also constantly expanding.

This was Tongtian burning himself, burning the power of his own soul.

This kind of burning was very dangerous; if he were not careful, he would be the first to go.

This was an attack that used everything he had; it was either you die or he lives.

"Boom..."

The river of time also became even more astonishing; countless Demon Gods in the river revealed more than half of their bodies, as if they were about to truly walk out from the years of death.

The Saints in the distance had their expressions change slightly.

If these Chaos Demon Gods truly walked out, then the tragedy would be theirs.

They would likely be the Demon Gods' first target.

Now, the power Tongtian unleashed made them understand less and less.

"Myriad Heavens God-Demon Slash..."

This was a sword that pierced through heaven and earth; this sword contained all of Tongtian's power, all his insights into the sword Dao...

Everything was condensed into this sword.

God-Demon strike...

Accompanied by blinding white light, the Light of Judgment that lay across the sky shattered piece by piece, and in the end, it was truly destroyed by this sword.

Tongtian had shattered the Light of Judgment.

"Heavenly Dao, is there anything else?" Tongtian held the God-Slaying Sword, his eyes staring at the Eye of Judgment in the sky, shouting loudly.

Facing Tongtian's shout, the Eye of Judgment above looked on with its usual indifference.

Its massive pupil showed not the slightest emotional change.

Immediately after, under everyone's gaze, the Eye of Judgment slowly closed and gradually disappeared from this piece of heaven and earth.

The void that had originally been filled with countless World-Destroying Divine Thunders also returned to its original state.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao's tribulation just now had never appeared.

"Haha, I succeeded." Tongtian revealed a smile, and his heart felt relieved.

If a more powerful attack from the Heavenly Dao had appeared, then he, Tongtian, would truly have been in tragedy.

He himself had no more powerful trump cards.

And a more powerful tribulation from the Heavenly Dao would likely be of Heavenly Dao-level power.

If Heavenly Dao power truly appeared, Tongtian would really have to vomit blood and curse.

Just breaking away from the Heavenly Dao and destroying his own true spirit didn't cause too much damage to the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao shouldn't need to kill him like this, right?

The Heavenly Dao's attacks truly left those undergoing the tribulation with no hope of survival.

Who could confront the Heavenly Dao at the Hunyuan Daluo level?

Unless there was help from a Great Dao-level powerhouse, perhaps then there would be a chance.

Relying on oneself—that was truly a joke.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, congratulations." Laozi came before Tongtian and congratulated him.

Tongtian surviving the thunder tribulation also made Laozi feel somewhat relieved; his Junior Brother had survived after all.

Although he had complex feelings about the power Tongtian had just displayed.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, congratulations." Nuwa also stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, congratulations on breaking away from the Heavenly Dao and gaining your freedom," Hou Tu congratulated him.

"Junior Brother Tongtian, congratulations," Zhunti said slightly gloomily, "I wonder if Junior Brother has gained any opportunities; does Junior Brother know about the next Kalpa Tribulation that the Teacher spoke of?"

"Alas," Jieyin sighed on the side, "Although Junior Brother has broken away from the Heavenly Dao, you also belong to the Saint's immortality; this can be considered a blessing and a curse intertwined."

Zhunti and Jieyin said one thing after another.

This caused Tongtian, who had originally been in a somewhat happy mood, to have his gaze turn cold.

He naturally understood the meaning behind the words of these two Western Saints.

That was a naked threat.

They were saying he had lost the protection of the Heavenly Dao and had lost his immortality.

Originally, with their true spirits entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, even if they were killed in reality, they could revive with the help of the Heavenly Dao.

It was just that such a revival would require paying a price.

Their own true spirits would be somewhat assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

If they died too many times, they might even become part of the Heavenly Dao.

But at least, it gave Zhunti and the others the ability of immortality.

At the Hunyuan Daluo level, this was a very remarkable ability.

But now, after Tongtian broke away from the Heavenly Dao, he lost this ability; like Zhunti and the others, they might be able to die several times.

But for Tongtian, if he were injured or died once, he would truly be completely dead, with no second chance.

Seeing him survive the Heavenly Dao thunder tribulation, anyone with a discerning eye knew that there must be some secret on Tongtian.

If it were the past, even if Tongtian had secrets, the two Western Saints might keep their thoughts to themselves and not speak out.

But now, Tongtian, just after surviving the tribulation, clearly hadn't recovered from his injuries.

This was the opportunity for the two Western Saints.

If they obtained an opportunity like Tongtian's, not to mention breaking away from the Heavenly Dao, their strength would definitely be able to improve.

Hadn't they seen Tongtian's recent increase in strength? It was truly visible to the naked eye.

It made Zhunti and Jieyin extremely envious.

Now that Tongtian had just survived the thunder tribulation and his strength hadn't recovered, it was a very good opportunity.

"Zhunti, Jieyin, what do you mean?" Laozi's gaze turned cold, "Are you trying to take advantage of Junior Brother Tongtian's serious injuries? If so, then you must pass me first."

Facing Laozi's questioning, Zhunti's eyes flickered.

As the head of the Three Pure Ones, Laozi's strength in Zhunti's heart was also unfathomable.

He didn't want to provoke the other party actively.

"That's right, I knew the two Western Saints were shameless before, and now it seems that is indeed the case," Nuwa said lightly.
