Chapter 324: Tongtian: What the hell, how did I end up here?!

At this moment, Chen Ku truly realized how astonishing the so-called immortal and indestructible sage really was.

Not to speak of utterly subduing and slaying Tongtian; even merely wishing to gravely injure him, stripping him of fighting power, is far from easy.

However, without a doubt, among the Three Pure Ones, the most troublesome is none other than Tongtian.

In that case... we ought to think of a way, at least for now, to prevent Tongtian from exerting that kind of power.

Chen Ku fell into contemplation for a moment.

"Exile!"

"Exactly, since we can't suppress and kill him, let's temporarily exile him!"

Chen Ku thought of this method in his mind.

Spatial Banishment!

Previously, Yangmei Daxian had also employed this method.

And Chen Ku likewise masters the profound and obscure spatial laws, so this poses no difficulty for him.

More importantly, although Tongtian is versed in the sword and formation arts, his grasp of spatial laws is shallow.

By the time he returns, perhaps this affair will already have ended.

Upon realizing this, Chen Ku hesitated no longer, immediately thrusting forth a palm and slamming it toward Tongtian with unmatched ferocity.

Seeing this, Tongtian's eyes narrowed, thinking Chen Ku was unleashing a great divine ability like the Tathagata Divine Palm.

He circulated his bodily mana, preparing to resist.

But the next moment, an abrupt change occurred.

Only to see that before this palm even touched Tongtian's body,

the space around him, spanning billions of miles, suddenly erupted in turmoil.

The void sank and collapsed, stars shifted and constellations turned!

"Damn it, what kind of method is this?!"

Tongtian exclaimed, his pupils constricting sharply.

He had never expected that Chen Ku would unleash yet another unheard-of, unseen, devious tactic.

And this also left him unprepared and with no way to evade.

Just as he cried out,

the irresistible spatial force instantly enveloped Tongtian's form, hurling him down into the depths of Chaos.

In a mere instant, he vanished without a trace.

Watching this scene, countless beings who had rushed to observe couldn't help but stare at one another, utterly bewildered.

"What... what does Chen Ku mean by this?!"

"One palm directly slapped the sage Tongtian into Chaos?"

"Is the sage Tongtian now dead or alive?!"

"Hiss... unfathomable, completely unfathomable."

"Not bad!"

Chen Ku's methods have completely surpassed the cognition and imagination of all beings.

No one can perceive the profound subtleties within.

Even Laozi and Yuanshi, at this moment, wore blank faces, somewhat unable to react.

Only Chen Ku revealed a satisfied smile.

Now, speaking of Tongtian!

For him, Spatial Banishment is utterly unstoppable.

Tongtian could only watch as the scenery around him shifted dramatically, boundless star rivers flashing past.

Yet he himself was like a meteor plummeting violently, unable to stop.

After an unknown span of time, his figure finally came to a gradual halt.

And at this moment, everything around him was utterly unfamiliar.

Before his eyes, one chaos storm after another stretched across, sweeping billions of miles of the cosmos, annihilating everything.

Gloomy!

Profound!

And an ancient, enduring stillness!

This place truly resembles a land devoid of vitality.

Of course, this is only true for the primordial beings.

Most importantly, being here, no matter how Tongtian senses, he cannot detect even a trace of the primordial world's aura.

Nor can he sense the vital energies of Laozi, Yuanshi, and others.

Tongtian's heart felt a slight realization.

It seems this place is a deeper region of Chaos, and undoubtedly lies at an unimaginable distance from the previous battlefield.

For a moment, Tongtian felt somewhat lost.

"What the hell, how did I end up here?!"

"And how am I supposed to return to the primordial world?!"

"Exactly!"

The primordial world's vast expanse, boundless and magnificent, is for a sage something that cannot be fully explored, and can even cause one to "lose one's way."

Tongtian, helpless, could only wander aimlessly through Chaos.

Not long after, his gaze suddenly shifted.

There's no other reason!

Tongtian clearly saw that, right before him, huge and unparalleled, exceptionally burly figures intertwined, each emanating an extraordinarily terrifying aura.

In such an ancient, deathly silent place, seeing that living beings still existed, Tongtian immediately rejoiced.

He didn't have time to think further, leapt forward, and descended before those figures, saying:

May I ask, fellow Daoists, where is this?!

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, gazes like torches from across the way instantly fell upon him.

It could be seen that these beings' expressions were somewhat strange.

More precisely, they felt strange about Tongtian's question.

However, after a moment, a deep, muffled voice responded.

This place is Chaos!

His answer consisted of only these six short characters.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's heart was greatly moved; this undoubtedly confirmed his earlier speculation.

At the same time, he roughly understood what kind of divine beings these figures before him were.

Without a doubt, they were the Chaos demon gods!

After all, the Great Immortal Yangmei has lived until now and has been seen by all beings.

Moreover, it is reasonable that many other beings have survived.

Tongtian also did not feel surprised or fearful.

With his sage cultivation, he is in no way inferior to ordinary Chaos demon gods.

Afterward, Tongtian continued to ask:

May I ask, fellow Daoists, where is the Primordial Heaven and Earth?!

This time, no one responded.

On the contrary, the demon gods before him all showed disgust and resistance.

It seemed that the Primordial Heaven and Earth Tongtian spoke of was a place they despised.

Tongtian was stunned, then suddenly realized!

It appears these demon gods have transferred their ancient hatred for Pangu onto the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

After all, Pangu's creation of Chaos originally destroyed these demon gods' living space.

Furthermore, the ancient battle of opening the heavens had also slain countless demon gods.

Such hatred is understandable.

It was clear that nothing could be asked from these Chaos demon gods' mouths.

Tongtian immediately turned around, intending to explore on his own and return to the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

However, at this very moment.

Among the host of demon gods, a figure suddenly rose to his feet.

Wait!

Hmph, another damned Primordial being.

That figure glared at Tongtian, the gloom and cold severity in his eyes evident.

For a moment, Tongtian was puzzled and unable to understand.

Where does such great anger and hostility from the other side come from?!

In fact, if Chen Ku were here, he would surely recognize him at a glance.

This figure is none other than the Soul Demon God seen before.

In order to seize the opportunity in the River of Time, he was pursued by the Great Immortal Yangmei for hundreds of millions of li, fleeing in panic.

It can be said that the Soul Demon God has long been holding a grudge.

More importantly, after that incident, the Soul Demon God also returned to the vicinity of the Chaos Secret Realm.

Afterward, he shockingly discovered that his close comrade, the Gravity Demon God, had already lain dead amidst Chaos.

Needless to say, the Soul Demon God immediately understood that the Gravity Demon God had been killed by Chen Ku, that 'Primordial being'.

Thus, his enmity toward Primordial beings is unprecedented.

Moreover, Tongtian is one of the beings formed from Pangu's primordial spirit, with an even richer Pangu aura.

Therefore, the Soul Demon God could not conceal his inner fury, which erupted on the spot.

Faced with the Soul Demon God's uncontrollable wrathful gaze, Tongtian spoke, bewildered:

Fellow Daoist, I have no grudge with you!

Why such deep hostility?!

Upon saying this.

The Soul Demon God almost instantly shouted a rebuttal:

Hmph, no grudge?!

You vile Primordial beings, you killed my good friend.

Today, I will use your life to sacrifice to the spirit of the Gravity Demon God!

The Soul Demon God naturally knows that Tongtian is not the Chen Ku he previously saw.

But in his eyes, they are all the same.

Any Primordial being deserves to die!

Thus, he naturally directs his wrath at Tongtian before him.

But hearing these words only left Tongtian even more bewildered.

Suppress and slay Chaos demon gods?!

What the hell is this all about?!

Tongtian was absolutely sure this was the first time he had personally seen these Chaos demon gods.

As for actually fighting, let alone suppressing and slaying the opponent? That's utter nonsense.

However, Tongtian reacted instantly.

Damn it... I'm taking the blame for someone else!

Fuck!

Who the hell, so clueless, caused this?!

Tongtian couldn't help but silently curse.

A exalted saint, yet turned into a scapegoat—truly a first in history.

If Tongtian knew he was taking the blame for Chen Ku, he'd likely be so angry he'd vomit blood and curse on the spot.

However, the situation now gives Tongtian no time to think, nor any chance to explain.

On the other side, as the words fell, the Soul Demon God exuded overwhelming pressure, its momentum astonishing, and it boldly attacked, rushing to assault Tongtian.

For a moment, in the void, various scalp-tingling, eerie laughter and screams rang out.

Such a feeling was like countless souls wailing, carrying surging resentment, making one's heart turn cold and spirit tremble.

"Ten Thousand Souls Pillar!"

The Soul Demon God was extremely violent.

As soon as it acted, it summoned a colossal pillar tens of thousands of zhang high.

This is his natal soul treasure, within which countless souls are imprisoned, emitting monstrous resentment.

Faintly, one could see myriad souls tearing at each other, brutally violent.

Then, the Soul Demon God, wielding this treasure, ruthlessly surged toward Tongtian.

Seeing this, Tongtian was exasperated.

How can this Chaos demon god be so hot-tempered, attacking at the slightest disagreement?!

But having come to this, there's no other way!

Tongtian had no choice but to launch himself to meet the Soul Demon God in battle.

The great battle resumed.

In the field, the Soul Demon God was extraordinarily violent, ferocious beyond compare; each move was mighty and heavy, bearing the unique heft of a Chaos demon god.

Tongtian, wielding the Qingping Sword, slashed out one sword after another, ripping apart the universe, his edge fully revealed.

Around, the many Chaos demon gods showed interested expressions, watching this great battle.

"Is that the living beings Pangu originally created and evolved?!"

Hehe, I'd like to see just how strong a being Pangu's vaunted 'splitting heaven and earth' could produce.

"Soul Dao friend, completely suppress and slay this person here, to display the might of us demon gods."

"Hmph, also let the long-dead Pangu know that the primordial beings he created are ultimately insignificant."

Such words rang out.

Some demon gods showed curious expressions, observing Tongtian's every move.

After all, they had never set foot in the primordial world, and knew little of the strength of its cultivators.

Moreover, some demon gods openly cheered for the Soul Demon God, urging it to suppress and slay Tongtian.

This was tantamount to slapping the face of the primordial Pangu himself!

Poor Tongtian, a lofty saint, was also an existence revered by countless beings in the primordial world.

But now he was being judged and commented on by a host of demon gods, as if he were an insignificant living being!

Frustrated!

Really frustrated!

However, Tongtian unleashed one divine ability after another, yet for a moment he still found it hard to suppress the Soul Demon God.

First, though the Soul Demon God is not as mighty as Yang Mei the Great Immortal, it is nonetheless a Hunyuan Luo Golden Immortal, equivalent to a Heavenly Dao saint of the primordial world.

Moreover, the Soul Demon God also commands a complete soul law, not to be trifled with.

Second, both sides are now deep within Chaos.

Compared to that, the boost the Soul Demon God receives is even more astonishing.

Meanwhile, Tongtian has been greatly weakened.

With one waning and the other waxing, Tongtian, as a saint, finds it hard to display an overwhelming, crushing force.

It goes without saying that this battle cannot be settled in a short time.

Tongtian, both angry and anxious, could only be tightly restrained by the Soul Demon God, with nothing he could do.

On the other side!

Tongtian had vanished, and no further stir came from him for a long time.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others were filled with astonishment.

"Disciple, just what divine ability was that palm of yours earlier?!"

Jieyin muttered to himself, puzzled and unable to understand.

Even though he was a saint, the power of Chen Ku's palm left Jieyin astonished.

After all, if it were himself, Jieyin asking his own heart, he could never so easily 'settle' the strongest of the Three Purities, Tongtian.

Beside him, Zhunti was equally doubtful.

However, he did not dwell on it.

Hehe, no matter what means.

Now that Tongtian has disappeared, the Three Pure Ones have lost one, and we too have seen our pressure suddenly drop.

Zhunti is extremely sober.

Without Tongtian's Slaying Immortal Sword Formation's support, relying only on Laozi and Yuanshi, how can we possibly resist the might of the Five Saints of the Buddhist Gate?!

As the words fell, Hongyun, Nüwa, and the others also nodded in turn.

This time, we will surely win again!

Hongyun felt moved, gazing at Chen Ku with eyes burning with fervor.

Even in the battle of All Saints, it was only because of Chen Ku's return that the situation was completely reversed.

Nüwa also had her beautiful eyes shimmering with unusual light.

The human race, finally safe......

This time, we really ought to thank Chen Ku, our junior nephew.

Evidently, what Nüwa worries about most is still the safety of the human race.

It can now be almost certain that the Three Pure Ones can no longer stop the Buddhist Gate from protecting the human race.

Although not explicitly stated, Nüwa also feels deep gratitude toward Chen Ku.

On the other side.

Laozi and Yuanshi's faces were as dark as iron, yet they were not as delighted as Jieyin and Zhunti.

Ah......

Chen Ku, you dare to viciously kill my third brother?!

You're courting death!

Yuanshi let out a mournful cry, his eyes nearly bursting, his visage ferocious as he glared at Chen Ku; his words were like a roar, and he jumped about in thunderous rage.

He exerted all his strength, yet still could not sense even a trace of Tongtian's aura.

Therefore, Yuanshi naturally believed that his own third brother must have been utterly slain by Chen Ku.

At this moment, Yuanshi was nearly going berserk!

However, Laozi beside him was not nearly as furious as Yuanshi.

His face was equally grim, yet he showed a contemplative expression.

Third brother.... has not fallen!
