Chapter 317: Nüwa Shocked, Chen Ku Exposes the Three Purities' True Faces!

Looking at Chen Ku, unharmed and composed, Tongtian stared in disbelief.

Running away?!

How could this kid say such a thing so naturally?!

Does he have any dignity left as a strong cultivator?!

You must know, every time Tongtian unleashes the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, those trapped by it always try to break free.

Even if they ultimately fail, they do not lose face.

Just like Jieyin and Zhunti before, and Hongyun as well.

But someone like Chen Ku, who knows the formation is terrifying beyond compare and simply slips away, is the first ever.

For a moment, all kinds of familiar sensations returned.

Ah!

Isn't Chen Ku's nature always like this?!

You must know, when he was weak back then, he even tattled and hid behind Jieyin and Zhunti.

For this kid, so-called face seems truly insignificant.

On the other side, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun reacted and couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.

"Hehe, wonderful, wonderful!"

"It has to be my disciple to be this quick-witted."

Jieyin sighed with a smile.

Needless to say.

Chen Ku's action, though somewhat unusual,

is indeed effective.

Thus, no matter how strong the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is, it struggles to reveal its true power.

On the contrary, we three overthought things earlier.

Of course, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others also know there is another extremely important reason.

That is, Chen Ku is not only a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, but also masters the supreme speed method of spatial leap.

Thus, he can instantly escape the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

After a moment, Tongtian finally reacted.

"Hmph, see where you run to!"

With a cold snort, Tongtian struck again, continuing to control the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, sweeping toward Chen Ku.

The more Chen Ku evades, the more Tongtian wants to force him to break the formation.

But Chen Ku simply refuses to take the bait.

With just a thought, his body flickers, calmly escaping the formation's enclosure.

Moreover,

at a certain moment, Chen Ku's sea of consciousness stirred greatly.

【You observed the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, felt something, and comprehended its method of setup!】

The prompt of heaven-defying comprehension suddenly sounded.

Chen Ku instantly rejoiced!

Isn't this the opportunity Tongtian actively offered?

Not only did he slip away gloomily, but now he has also comprehended the method of deploying the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, engraved in his heart.

You must know, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation is powerful not only because the Zhu Xian, Lu Xian, Xian Xian, and Jue Xian four swords are all top-tier innate spiritual treasures,

but also because the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram, which complements it, is not to be ignored.

In other words, Chen Ku now comprehends the profundity of the Zhu Xian Formation Diagram.

If he later seizes the four Zhu Xian swords, he can effortlessly wield this peerless killing formation.

Its power will not differ from Tongtian's.

Chen Ku chuckled inwardly.

This round, he gained blood profit without loss.

And just as he was feeling pleased,

Yuanshi and Tongtian's expressions grew even more solemn.

"Damn it!"

"This kid is too slippery!"

Yuanshi shouted angrily in a deep voice, fury unbound.

Chen Ku alone, with his own strength, is enough to restrain the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

Meanwhile, the remaining Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun still watch covetously.

Yuanshi suddenly realized.

If only relying on him and Tongtian, they can no longer directly confront the Four Saints of Buddhism.

Thinking this, Yuanshi immediately sent a secret divine thought transmission, summoning Laozi.

Only with the Three Purities united, working as one, can they possibly continue to suppress Buddhism.

At the same time.

In Taisu Heaven.

Nüwa and Laozi have already erupted into a sage's battle.

How fierce the battle is, how terrifying the divine powers—needless to say.

However, Laozi appeared calm and composed, his face serene.

His purpose was merely to delay Nüwa, preventing her from descending among humanity, which was sufficient.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly shifted, and he felt something.

"What?!"

"Chen Ku... Primordial Luo Golden Immortal?!"

Laozi's pupils contracted slightly as he gazed in disbelief toward the direction of the Western Heaven and Earth.

Clearly, he had received Yuanshi's divine sense transmission.

Laozi's heart trembled violently.

What he had feared most earlier was Chen Ku's return and his sudden attack.

He never imagined that the very scene he dreaded most would ultimately come to pass.

More importantly, according to Yuanshi's words, Chen Ku had already attained the cultivation of a Primordial Luo Golden Immortal.

In an instant, Laozi realized the gravity of the situation.

This brat is going to cause trouble!

He can no longer remain entangled with Nüwa.

With this thought, Laozi's eyes turned icy.

Without hesitation, he fiercely swung his hand.

"Taiji Diagram!"

Boom!

The Taiji Diagram, one of the treasures of creation, reappeared once more, yin and yang qi intertwining to outline the Taiji symbol.

Immediately, it descended with a thunderous crash, completely suppressing the space within a radius of hundreds of millions of li.

Even though Nüwa was also a saint, being temporarily suppressed beneath the Taiji Diagram made it difficult for her to break free.

It is evident that although Nüwa was the first to attain sainthood in the beginning, after countless ages, Laozi, by establishing the Dao tradition and harnessing the fortune of humanity, had surpassed her in strength.

Furthermore, with the power of the Taiji Diagram, temporarily suppressing Nüwa so that she could not move was entirely feasible.

Having done all this, Laozi coldly glanced at Nüwa and spoke:

"Nüwa, my junior sister, do not blame this seat for being heartless!"

"You should not have interfered in this matter!"

Leaving behind these words.

Laozi no longer bothered with further talk, immediately turning and rushing back to the Honghuang Heaven and Earth with lightning speed.

In the Tusu Heaven, Nüwa remained beneath the Taiji Diagram above her head; though she struggled incessantly and her divine powers surged, she could not yet break free from the diagram's seal.

However, Nüwa had clearly heard Laozi's earlier astonished muttering.

"Chen Ku, my junior nephew?"

"Primordial Luo Golden Immortal?!"

"Could it be...?"

Nüwa calmed down and also realized something.

She immediately turned her gaze and likewise looked toward the Western Buddhist realm.

In that instant, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and regret, their light shifting and flowing.

"Indeed so!"

She silently gasped, having already seen everything between heaven and earth.

Chen Ku... had actually proven the Dao and attained the Primordial Luo Golden Immortal cultivation!

Such a heaven-defying rate of advancement, and his forceful breaking of the heavenly shackles, moved Nüwa deeply.

Immediately afterward, her heart inexplicably felt a great sense of peace, and she exhaled a long breath.

It seemed that no matter how shocking the crisis, as long as Chen Ku appeared, there was a feeling of reassurance.

Thinking this, Nüwa no longer attempted to forcibly break free from the Taiji Diagram's suppression.

Her gaze deep and distant, she looked toward Chen Ku's figure from afar.

"Chen Ku, my junior nephew..."

"This time, the safety and peril of humanity rest entirely upon your shoulders..."

Nüwa murmured to herself.

Such words could be called world-shocking and unconventional.

To gain such trust from a saint—if other cultivators in the world heard of it, they would surely be driven mad with envy.

On the other side.

Laozi had already returned to the Honghuang realm, and in a single thought, descended upon the Western Heaven and Earth.

Upon seeing Chen Ku, Laozi's body jerked suddenly.

The shock in his eyes grew even more intense.

"Chen Ku!"

"I never thought you would actually accomplish this!"

Laozi gritted his teeth as he said this.

Having witnessed it with his own eyes and felt Chen Ku's vast aura firsthand, Laozi could not accept it—instead, he found it even more unbelievable.

Heaven-defying!

Too heaven-defying!

Laozi was not unaware of Chen Ku's extraordinary talent.

But as he thought, even so, Chen Ku proving the Dao to become a Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal would probably still require a long time.

Who could have imagined that this kid proving the Dao to Mixed Yuan would be so simple, almost simpler than when we ourselves originally proved the Dao to Heavenly Dao Saints?!

What kind of freak is this?!

Old Master's heart surged with shocking waves, unable to calm for a long time.

And seeing Old Master's extremely shocked expression, Chen Ku merely gave a faint smile.

"Ah... bitter, bitter..."

"If this seat had not succeeded on the righteous path, today I fear I would truly have let you all succeed, allowing the Demon Race to wishfully slaughter hundreds of millions of the human race."

Chen Ku sighed and responded thus.

As for the specifics of how he proved the Dao, and what kind of fortuitous coincidence it was, Chen Ku naturally had no need to tell the Three Pure Ones.

He merely glanced at the Three Pure Ones with a slight tone of teasing and mockery, using these words to manipulate their mindset.

Indeed!

Upon hearing these words, the Three Pure Ones' expressions became even uglier.

So, Chen Ku's rapid rise is still due to our own pressure?!

Where the hell is this supposed to be reasoned?!

Yuanshi, furious to the extreme, immediately spoke in a deep voice:

"Chen Ku, do not be arrogant!"

"We Three Pure Ones, united, can still suppress you with ease."

Old Master arrived, letting Yuanshi regain confidence once more, his expression cold and severe, domineering and overbearing.

However, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun naturally would not just stand by and watch anymore.

"Hmph, then let's try!"

"Let's see whether the so-called Three Pure Ones can withstand the might of our Buddhist Four Saints."

Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun stepped forward, coldly gazing at the Three Pure Ones.

Jieyin spoke, saying thus.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's expression froze.

Numb!

The shock brought by Chen Ku alone earlier was truly too astonishing, conversely making them somewhat overlook Jieyin and the other three sages.

And now, the Buddhist Four Saints standing shoulder to shoulder, truly a mighty and overwhelming pressure, their qi surging to the heavens.

The nine heavens and ten earths all trembled for them, an indescribable, unparalleled might, bold and unmatched.

In comparison, they have indeed already overwhelmed the momentum of the Three Pure Ones.

Troublesome!

Really troublesome!

However, just as the Three Pure Ones had grim faces and were silently pondering.

Suddenly, from the direction of Mount Wanshou, came a furious, uncontrollable exclamation.

"Ah.... Demon Race, you dare?!"

This great shout contained boundless anger.

Upon hearing it, all the saints immediately subconsciously turned their gaze.

Yet they saw that the earth book boundary previously set up by Zhenyuanzi, under the constant attacks and killings of the Demon Race, was now on the verge of collapse, obviously unable to hold for much longer.

Although Xi He, Chang'e, Du'e Zhenren, and others had already gone to assist.

But how could it be otherwise, given that the strong ones on the Demon Race side are simply too numerous.

And Di Jun, Taiyi, the Ten Great Demon Saints, and others are all top-tier powerhouses of the present age.

This result is, after all, reasonable.

Seeing this scene, the Three Pure Ones couldn't help but sneer.

What about the Buddhist Four Saints?!

As long as the earth book boundary is broken, those people protected by Zhenyuanzi will all be slaughtered by the Demon Race.

By then, the Slaughter Witch Sword will surely also be completed.

In the end, everything done by the Buddhist Sect will ultimately be useless.

This point, Jieyin and Zhunti obviously also realized.

Jieyin's gaze sank, and without hesitation he spoke:

"Disciple, the human race must not suffer loss, here we three sages will handle it!"

"You go to Mount Wanshou, assist Zhenyuanzi, and save the human race."

Jieyin spoke decisively.

At the same time, Zhunti and Hongyun also had determined gazes.

Now that the Three Pure Ones are gathered together, according to common sense, their power will also be greater than before.

However, Jieyin and the three have no worried expression.

If it were one-on-one, Old Master, even if strong, but wanting to quickly take down one of Jieyin and the three, is also not that easy.

And if Tongtian were to come out again with the Executioner's Sword Formation, then we three would simply be like Chen Ku, directly slipping away, not engaging being fine as well.

Completely overcoming the Three Pure Ones is not possible!

But restraining them is still no problem.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku also understood Jieyin and Zhunti's considerations.

He nodded without hesitation.

Then, with a thought, he directly opened the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

In an instant, he vanished from the spot.

"Chen Ku, where are you going?!"

Behind him, Laozi's angry shout rang out, but Chen Ku simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

His expression shifted slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Ah... suffering, so much suffering!"

"We of the Buddhist Sect, compassionate and merciful, intend to protect all living beings of the human race from harm."

"Yet, the Three Pure Ones have colluded with the Demon Race, obstructing our Buddhist Sect from taking action."

"This time, countless humans have perished, the Demon Race acting as the executioner, and the Three Pure Ones as accomplices!"

Chen Ku sighed repeatedly as he traversed the void toward Mount Wanshou.

Though his words were soft, they carried the immense power of the Hunyuan, rumbling like thunder between heaven and earth, falling into the ears of every living being.

For a moment, all beings erupted in an uproar, utterly boiling over!

The Three Pure Ones obstructing?

So that's how it is!

Earlier, some great powers had still been doubtful, not understanding why Chen Ku, as the Holy Father of humanity, had delayed taking action.

It turns out it wasn't that the Buddhist Sect ignored the fate of humanity, but that the Three Pure Ones had forcibly obstructed them!

Thinking this way, Nüwa's absence must also be due to this reason.

"The Three Pure Ones sages... why are they colluding with the Demon Race?!"

"Hey, need it be said? Naturally, to suppress Chen Ku's prestige, so the Ren Sect can control more human fate."

"Quite right, quite right—for their own benefit, using the lives of billions of humans as sacrificial offerings, the Three Pure Ones truly harbor a vicious heart."

"Hmph, how fortunate that Yuanshi was once so proud and arrogant, constantly claiming the Demon Race was inferior and not worth his notice."

"Who would have thought that today he would willingly become an accomplice to the Demon Race—truly, saying one thing and doing another."

Countless cultivators whispered among themselves, their expressions strange.

Overawed by the sages' might, they dared not openly voice such thoughts.

Yet, regarding the Three Pure Ones, all beings now felt a sense of contempt.

Even ordinary beings felt this way.

At this moment, among humanity, it was as if thunder had exploded.

"The Three Pure Ones are actually so heartless?!"

"Ah... we daily venerate the Supreme Elder Lord, yet he has turned his slaughtering blade toward us humans?!"

"If so, why should we continue to venerate the Ren Sect? Venerate the Three Pure Ones?!"

In an instant, such words echoed throughout humanity, sparking an even greater commotion!
