Chapter 316: The Slaughter Immortal Sword Formation Rises Again? Chen Ku Directly Flees!

No doubt.

This was precisely when Chen Ku appeared.

In an instant, the gazes of the Five Sages in the field were all drawn to him.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun all wore expressions of wild joy.

"Excellent, Fellow Daoist Chen Ku has finally returned!"

Hongyun exclaimed thus.

But as his words fell, his expression changed drastically, and he had already sensed that Chen Ku's aura was extraordinary.

"This... this... Fellow Daoist Chen Ku's aura, why is it so overbearing?!"

Hongyun said this again, even with a face full of hesitation.

It was not that Hongyun did not believe in Chen Ku's talent.

One must know, when Hongyun himself attained the Dao and became a Sage, he had indeed endured hardships, and it was only with Chen Ku's countless assistances that he achieved his wish.

Moreover, the difficulty of attaining the Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal of Chaos is greater than that of attaining the Heavenly Dao Sage.

Therefore, Hongyun's first thought was certainly not that Chen Ku had succeeded in attaining the Dao.

However, Jieyin's reaction was also extremely swift.

The overwhelming, unparalleled, and ancient-overwhelming pressure emanating from Chen Ku's entire body likewise shook his heart.

"Disciple.... you have attained the Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal of Chaos?!"

Jieyin could not wait any longer, his eyes blazing as he asked thus.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku nodded slightly, smiled faintly, and replied:

"Hehe...... mere luck!"

Chen Ku's words were not deliberately feigned humility.

After all, when he previously ventured deep into the outer Chaos Realm, if it were not for his fortuitous acquisition of the Chaos Pearl, this supreme Chaos treasure, he might not have attained the Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal of Chaos so swiftly.

However, the inner details of this matter, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others naturally did not know.

And this is also not important!

They only need to know that Chen Ku is truly a cultivator of the Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal cultivation base, and that is sufficient.

"Hahaha, good, good, excellent!"

"My disciple is the first Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal in the world."

"Marvelous, marvelous, for my junior nephew to attain the Dao as Mixed Yuan in one stroke is unprecedented and unparalleled, surpassing all antiquity."

Jieyin and Zhunti could not help but laugh heartily, overjoyed as they spoke thus.

For Chen Ku, they were unstinting in praise, extolling him to the utmost.

Every word and sentence was of the highest evaluation.

In fact, at this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti were also greatly astonished and found it hard to believe.

After all, when Chen Ku departed previously, he had said he was merely "trying" once, and even he himself had not had much confidence.

In Jieyin and Zhunti's view, even if this attempt failed, Chen Ku's return as a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal would still be reasonable.

But they did not expect Chen Ku to be so extraordinarily talented, unparalleled throughout history.

Thus, the Three Sages of Buddhism, plus one Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal, equate to four Sages holding sway.

Moreover, one must know, although Chen Ku has just attained the Dao, the strength of a Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal is beyond doubt.

Even if he is still not quite equal to Jieyin and Zhunti, he is absolutely a more powerful existence than Hongyun.

How could Jieyin and Zhunti not be delighted?!

The two's self-satisfied and proud expressions overflowed in words and bearing.

Even the ancient sorrow etched between Jieyin's brows, which had never dispersed, today seemed to have vanished completely.

However, unlike the immense excitement of Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others.

On the other side, watching this scene, Yuanshi and Tongtian had only endless silence.

Sour!

At this moment, the two could truly be said to be sour!

At the instant Chen Ku appeared earlier, the two had already sensed the former's aura.

But hearing Chen Ku admit with their own ears that he had already attained the Dao, it remained a kind of indescribable tremendous shock.

"I did not expect......"

"That this brat actually walked out this path."

"Could Chen Ku truly be a heaven-endowed talent?!"

Tongtian gazed at Chen Ku's figure, speaking thus in a deep voice.

His tone was full of incredulity, as well as a faint, hard-to-detect feeling of envy.

Attaining the Dao as Mixed Yuan Great Golden Immortal?!

What concept is this?!

For the myriad beings of the present wilderness, this is almost an impossible path.

Discarding all the Dao-attaining experiences of predecessors, attaining one's own Mixed Yuan Dao.

In a certain sense, this aligns quite well with what Tongtian upholds: "seizing a thread of life."

At this moment, Tongtian could not help but arise with a thought in his heart.

That is.... if Chen Ku were a disciple of the Jie Sect, how good that would be?!

The more he pondered, the heavier Tongtian's expression became.

However, seeing him thus, Yuanshi beside him naturally assumed Tongtian was intimidated by Chen Ku's might, his heart unsettled?!

Yuanshi let out a light snort, speaking with a hint of admonition:

"Hmph, third brother, why must you be so?"

"What does it matter if you are a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal? Can you even compare to us Heavenly Dao Saints?"

"Know this: the Heavenly Dao is supreme, and we Heavenly Dao Saints are the orthodox."

"The so-called Hunyuan Dao is ultimately just a minor path."

Yuanshi sneered.

In his words, there was full contempt and disdain for Chen Ku.

First, Chen Ku attained the Dao, but compared to the Three Pure Ones and others, he is ultimately late by countless ages.

Such a vast temporal gap is not something easily made up.

Second, Yuanshi naturally believes himself to be a Heavenly Dao Saint, capable of summoning the power of heaven and earth with a single thought.

In contrast, Chen Ku, the so-called Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, in this primordial world, cannot obtain the favor of the Heavenly Dao's will, nor the enhancement of heavenly and earthly power.

In the end, is he not relying solely on himself?

Therefore, I am fully qualified to look down upon Chen Ku.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian reacted, but his expression remained solemn.

"Elder Brother Yuanshi, do not be careless."

"The Dao Ancestor, our master, once said that the Hunyuan Dao is extremely difficult to cultivate."

"One can imagine that once cultivated, its power must surely be earth-shattering and heaven-moving."

"To look down on Chen Ku like this, I fear it will..."

Tongtian's words were left unfinished.

Meanwhile, Yuanshi grew even more angry.

"Third brother, do not boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige!"

"Who is stronger and who is weaker—one battle will tell!"

Yuanshi directly interrupted Tongtian's words, saying thus:

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's expression changed.

Good fellow!

Our own elder brother Yuanshi is now acting aggressively?!

Is he preparing to fight Chen Ku?!

Little did they know, Yuanshi was indeed thinking exactly this.

Initially, the Three Pure Ones and Chen Ku did have some interactions.

However, in their two encounters, Laozi and Tongtian suppressed their saintly cultivation, making it difficult to exert their full strength.

But today, since Chen Ku has already attained the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao, I too can finally engage in a proper, full-powered battle.

This time, I must thoroughly teach Chen Ku a lesson.

Yuanshi thought thus, his eyes gleaming, battle intent surging.

Speaking of it, it has been a long time.

But the exclamations and exchanges between the two sides' saints were merely a brief moment.

Having made his decision, Yuanshi no longer wasted words.

He immediately stepped forward, coldly scrutinizing Chen Ku from the other side.

"Chen Ku, since you have attained the Hunyuan Dao, dare you fight me?"

"Hmph, this time, I will not hold back in the slightest."

Yuanshi coldly shouted, directly challenging Chen Ku to battle.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun all changed expression.

What a Yuanshi, truly shameless!

You, one of the Three Pure Ones, have attested to the Dao for countless ages.

Now you challenge Chen Ku, a junior—what is this?!

Is this not bullying the weak with strength?!

However, before the three could speak,

only to see Chen Ku, upon hearing the words, also glance sideways at Yuanshi.

At this moment, Chen Ku's eyes held only a sneer.

"Fight me?"

"Hehe, good, then please proceed!"

Chen Ku hesitated not, smiled faintly, and directly agreed.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to see what exactly distinguishes a Heavenly Dao Saint from a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

And seeing Chen Ku so full of confidence, composed and assured, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others were stunned, then found it hard to say anything.

No need for many words.

Upon hearing Chen Ku's agreement, Yuanshi coldly laughed again.

Then he leapt into the arena.

Yuanshi wasted no words, directly forming hand seals and invoking his great divine ability.

Boom!

Boom!

In an instant, only the deep, resonant heavenly sounds were heard exploding, deafening and earth-shaking.

Primordial, his entire body surged, and vast visions rose in great swaths.

The Great Dao's divine patterns emerged, vast as an abyss, boundless and endless.

Laws surged violently, order surged forth!

The Jade Pure Immortal Arts displayed their might, with celestial light bursting across the heavens and myriad zhang of divine thunder sweeping forth.

Clearly, Primordial, though he spoke with overwhelming dominance.

Yet facing an anciently unprecedented Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, he also felt somewhat at a loss.

From the outset, it could be said he employed his strongest means.

Using the Jade Pure origin foundation, he evolved the supreme killing technique.

Ultimately, myriad laws and order condensed, giving birth to a colossal law palm that obscured the heavens and covered the earth.

This palm shook heaven and earth, possessing the power to bury the nine heavens and ten earths.

The colossal law palm descended with rolling dark light, and within its palm seemed a glowing "Chan" character, radiant and bright, displaying the majesty of the Chan Sect's leader.

Thereafter, with the momentum to annihilate the universe, it ruthlessly and without equal descended upon Chen Ku.

Primordial's gaze was haughty.

This strike—see how you block it!

Who would have thought, facing such a terrifying assault, Chen Ku at this moment remained composed.

Even, he had time to sigh.

"Alas... it seems the Primordial Sage has only these few moves."

"If so, then I shall break it with the Tathagata Divine Palm."

His words carried a hint of mockery.

At the same time, he made no effort to conceal it.

As his voice faded, a Tathagata Divine Palm, also bearing the might to overwhelm the ages, was unleashed with a boom.

Seeing this, the contempt in Primordial's eyes intensified.

Just this?!

Primordial had long witnessed the power of the Tathagata Divine Palm, and knew its measure.

To think of hard-clashing his Jade Pure Law Palm with this—truly the talk of a fool.

Yet, the sneer on Primordial's face had not yet spread.

The next moment, it suddenly solidified!

Boom—!

The two colossal palms collided with a thunderous impact.

Immediately after, Primordial's pupils shrank sharply as he saw.

Beneath Chen Ku's Tathagata Divine Palm, all the attacks he had unleashed shattered inch by inch, utterly dissipating into nothingness.

Ferociously!

Overbearingly!

Though Primordial's sage divine powers were strong, they were ultimately limited to the realm between heaven and earth.

In contrast, Chen Ku's Tathagata Divine Palm displayed a hitherto unseen violent force.

The Law of Force!

Excellent!

That was precisely Chen Ku infusing the Law of Force into it.

One can imagine, times are different now.

With the support of this primordial first law, the current Tathagata Divine Palm can be said to possess the force to crush the withered and break the rotten, unstoppable.

Even Primordial cannot withstand it!

In but a short moment, the Jade Pure Dao Arts were worn away inch by inch.

Moreover, the Tathagata Divine Palm's momentum did not diminish, but pierced through the void, sweeping toward Primordial.

In an instant, like heaven collapsing and earth splitting, all things sinking, a tremendous power descended with a boom.

Thud!

A muffled sound rang out, and Primordial's form was suddenly flung upward.

He flew a full million li before barely stopping his form.

Primordial's face flushed red, his breath uneven.

In his eyes, shock could not be concealed.

"How could this be?!"

"How could it be like this?!"

He muttered with a grim face.

Originally, he thought a single strike would suppress Chen Ku.

Yet he did not expect the situation to be completely reversed.

His Jade Pure Dao Arts, before Chen Ku, were already no match.

The tremendous power within that Tathagata Divine Palm clearly surpassed the comprehension of all beings in the present age.

The Law of Force, even for sages, remains a crushing-level existence.

The prior contempt and disdain seemed to have turned into a slap, fiercely striking Primordial's own face.

Disgraceful!

This wave was truly too disgraceful!

At that moment, Tongtian beside him was also greatly startled.

Chen Ku's such peerless combat power also stirred his heart.

At the same time, Tongtian also saw his elder brother's predicament.

Therefore, he hesitated not, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Chen Ku, do not be so arrogant!"

"And break this seat's formation!"

As the words fell, Tongtian suddenly swept his wide sleeve.

The previously calm Zhuxian Four Swords surged again, bursting with endless divine radiance, outlining an unparalleled killing formation.

For a moment, the formation was mighty, the heavenly power vast, making one's scalp tingle and heart pound.

Seeing this, Jieyin hurriedly spoke to remind.

"Disciple, do not be careless!"

"That Zhuxian Sword Formation is mysterious and unpredictable; only the Four Saints can break it!"

"We shall come to assist you!"

Before this, the Three Saints of Buddhism had personally experienced the might of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

The Three Saints joined hands, yet still could not break it, let alone Chen Ku alone?!

Saying this, the Three Saints prepared to move, to personally take the field once more.

However, at this moment, Chen Ku's voice suddenly sounded.

"Alas... suffering, suffering......"

"Tongtian Saint dealing with me, a junior, actually directly deployed this Zhuxian Sword Formation."

"Truly lacking in martial virtue!"

Chen Ku sighed thus.

Hearing these words, Tongtian's expression froze.

This..... what Chen Ku said seems indeed to have some truth.

But this thought was only a fleeting flash.

Tongtian knew, if today he could not suppress Chen Ku, then he would surely ruin the Demon Race's slaughter of humans.

Therefore, Tongtian paid no heed, feigned calm, and continued to activate the Zhuxian Sword Formation, about to envelop Chen Ku within it.

Who would have known.

The next moment, Chen Ku's words continued to come.

"However... since knowing this formation is terrifyingly abnormal."

"Then.... why should this seat stubbornly break the formation?!"

"Would fleeing directly not be simpler?!"

As the words fell, but see the void rippling with violent spatial fluctuations.

Immediately after, Chen Ku's figure manifested, actually directly breaking free from the suppression of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Seeing this, all present were stunned speechless!

Is it not?!

Can it still be like this?!
