Chapter 325: Dominantly Suppressing the Two Saints, Laozi Voluntarily Admits Defeat?!
Yuanshi was so furious he nearly lost his wits.
Therefore, they believed Tongtian had been subdued and slain by Chen Ku.
However, Laozi remained quite calm.
He formed hand signs, calculating something.
At the same time, the saint‑level divine sense surged forth, sensing Tongtian's aura.
After a long while, although he found nothing, Laozi could still be certain that Tongtian would not fall so easily.
As soon as he said that, Yuanshi was momentarily stunned.
"What?!"
"Brother, have you located the third brother's whereabouts?!"
He asked eagerly.
But regarding this, Laozi merely shook his head.
"I haven't found it either!"
"But I suspect the third brother is merely confined within some space, exiled into Chaos."
Earlier, when Chen Ku made his move, Laozi had also keenly sensed the vast, abyss‑like aura of spatial law.
Therefore, after only a moment, he formed this conjecture.
One could say Laozi's guess was spot on.
Thus, Yuanshi's towering anger gradually subsided, and his heart settled.
As long as Tongtian hasn't truly perished, that is already great news.
And just as Laozi and Yuanshi were speculating,
countless mighty beings were then discussing heatedly, their expressions varied.
"What's going on? Where did the Saint Tongtian go?!"
"This... there's not a trace of the Saint Tongtian's aura."
"Exactly, I exerted my utmost, yet still cannot sense it."
"Hiss... could it be that the Saint Tongtian really died at Chen Ku's hands?!"
"How is that possible? Saints are supposed to be indestructible—could that just be empty talk?!"
The beings exclaimed thus.
Know that those able to come here to watch the battle scene are mostly quasi‑sage level mighty beings.
If it were ordinary times, they could also perceive some heavenly numbers and probe part of the future, etc.
However, today's battle is a saint‑level great war.
Even quasi‑sage mighty beings cannot deduce anything at all, completely bewildered.
The only thing they can be certain of is that the Saint Tongtian's aura has completely vanished, undetectable.
Instantly, a huge shock spread through the hearts of countless cultivators.
Saints...... have they perished?!
Shocking to the world!
Astonishing to hear!
This is too astonishing.
Even, it completely contradicts the beings' belief that "Saints are indestructible."
The beings felt incredulous.
Yet the saints' aura having totally vanished is unprecedented.
Therefore, the beings could only stare dumbfounded, uncertainly scrutinizing the depths of Chaos.
Immediately after, another mighty being could not help but sigh:
"No matter what, in today's battle the Three Pure Ones are ultimately inferior to Chen Ku!"
"Even though they have proven the Dao for ages, they are still being firmly suppressed by Chen Ku."
Such sentiment, though possibly offensive to the Three Pure Ones, is also fact.
After all, ever since Chen Ku appeared, he has decisively turned the tide.
Even the mighty Saint Tongtian, aided by the Slay‑Immortal Sword Formation, was swatted away by Chen Ku's palm, leaving no trace.
Needless to say, the beings have already discerned who is strong and who is weak.
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's face turned dark as iron, his fury uncontainable.
Embarrassing!
So embarrassing!
This time, the Three Pure Ones' side has lost humanity's reverence and faith.
If they still end up defeated, it will truly be a case of losing the chicken and gaining nothing, wanting to cry but having no tears.
In shame turning to anger, flustered and exasperated, Yuanshi erupted once more.
"Chen Ku, today I will surely make you pay the price!"
Yuanshi shouted angrily, then immediately launched a violent assault again.
One after another, great divine abilities were unleashed, smashing down upon Chen Ku like a barrage.
Vast swaths of runes blazed, flashing with terrifying cold light, the saint's might fully displayed.
However, for Chen Ku, this merely provoked a strange smile, as if sneering.
Needless to say, Chen Ku also went forward to meet the attack.
He thrust out a palm, his whole body blazing, unstoppable.
This palm strike directly shattered the Yuqing immortal light filling the sky.
Afterwards, Chen Ku's body burst with golden light, turning a radius of hundreds of millions of miles pale gold.
That was not the Buddha's golden-body dharma form.
Rather, it was the Chaos Body displaying its might.
Under the support of such an unparalleled physique, Chen Ku's essence and blood seemed to turn into an immortal gold hue.
Arrogantly looking down!
Overlord of the ages!
Dealing with Yuanshi, Chen Ku was not as solemn as when dealing with Tongtian.
Previously able to suppress Yuanshi with a single strike, now he can still do so.
Even, Chen Ku had not used any great divine abilities, merely relying on the Chaos Body's technique to fight.
Yuanshi naturally also saw the subtlety, and he could not help but become even more furious.
To him, Chen Ku's action was nothing but blatant contempt.
"Ah... seeking death!"
Yuanshi roared and bellowed repeatedly.
But such futile rage had no remarkable effect.
Chen Ku used Divine Foot, penetrating the void in an instant and appearing before Yuanshi.
Afterwards, he lightly pressed a palm seal onto Yuanshi's body.
Though it seemed insignificant, the next moment a thunderous force erupted.
Yuanshi let out a muffled groan, suddenly flung away like a broken kite, simultaneously spitting blood that stained the boundless Chaos Universe red.
Suppress!
Firmly suppress!
Anyone can see that now Chen Ku and Yuanshi are worlds apart.
Seeing this scene, Laozi was also greatly startled and lost color.
"Hmph!"
Without thinking further, Laozi leapt up and directly joined the battle.
Yuanshi's injuries were secondary; as a Saint, he could heal in an instant.
What worried Laozi most was Chen Ku once again using that strange spatial banishment technique.
If Yuanshi were also banished to the Chaos Depths, only Laozi would remain.
At that point, a lone tree would be unable to hold up!
Therefore, no matter what, Laozi and Yuanshi must join forces to sustain this battle.
Seeing Laozi and Yuanshi join forces, they launched another offensive.
The might of the Two Saints shook the universe, leaving people astonished and secretly clicking their tongues.
Chen Ku also sighed in suffering.
"Ah suffering, ah suffering..."
"Two elders beating me one, what skill is that?!"
He said this with a bitter expression.
Upon hearing this, all beings could not help but laugh.
This guy, even in the midst of battle, does not forget to mock Laozi and Yuanshi.
However, beings could also tell that although Chen Ku spoke thus, he showed no trace of fear.
Indeed!
As soon as his words fell, Chen Ku faced Laozi and Yuanshi head-on, one against two, still clashing fiercely.
Although the Two Saints joining forces was astonishing, Chen Ku's aura was even more astonishing.
With a thought, he unleashed the Palm Buddha Kingdom Great Divine Ability.
For a moment, the Buddha Kingdom Pure Land reappeared, vast and boundless, extraordinarily magnificent.
As Chen Ku attained the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Dao, the power of this divine ability could no longer be spoken of as it once was.
The Buddha Kingdom Pure Land unfolded, holy light illuminating all heavens and worlds.
Within the Buddha Kingdom, figures appeared with solemn and sacred appearances.
Bodhisattvas lowered their brows, Vajras glared angrily!
The Buddha's voice resounded loudly throughout the arena.
The swastika character spread across the sky, endless and boundless.
Under such divine might, Chen Ku's lone radiance almost overshadowed that of Laozi and Yuanshi combined.
No matter how many divine abilities attacked, Chen Ku's figure flowed like a swimming dragon.
Heavenly sounds exploded, this was a collision shaking the ages!
Amidst the intertwining of divine abilities, Chen Ku remained unscathed, calm and breezy.
Ordinary cultivators might still not see the subtlety within.
But Jieyin, Zhunti, Hongyun, Nüwa and the Four Saints, at this moment, had solemn faces and eyes revealing undisguised astonishment.
"Chen Ku's junior's strength is unfathomable!"
Nüwa lightly opened her vermilion lips, sighing softly.
These words caused Jieyin and Zhunti, among others, to nod in agreement.
"Blue surpasses indigo, yet excels indigo..."
Jieyin also said this with deep meaning.
Asking himself, even as the highest-ranking Jieyin in Buddhism, if he were to forcibly oppose Laozi and Yuanshi alone, he likely would have no chance of victory.
Jieyin knew that his disciple, unbeknownst to him, had even surpassed him as his master.
Thus he sighed, "Blue comes from indigo but surpasses it."
These words came from a sage's mouth, and are also an extremely high praise.
As he spoke, Jieyin's look of gratification showed on his face.
Beside him, Hongyun was also shocked and regretful, but he immediately reacted.
"We too should quickly act to assist Daoist Chen Ku!"
Chen Ku, after all, is fighting two opponents alone, and may soon exhaust his strength.
In a battle of this level, divine awareness often lasts only an instant.
Therefore, Hongyun inevitably worried for Chen Ku's safety, readying himself to lend aid.
Who would have thought, while Chen Ku dealt with the attacks of Laozi and Yuanshi, he was also paying attention to the reactions of Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others.
Hearing Hongyun's words, he also spoke up.
"Hahaha, Master, Uncle-master!"
"There's no need for you all to act; I alone can handle this."
"Today, I happen to borrow the power of the two sages to temper my own combat ability."
Chen Ku said thus.
The arrogance and pride in his words need no further explanation.
And Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others were also shocked to hear it.
What a fellow!
Using the two sages Laozi and Yuanshi to temper oneself?!
In other words, this is treating the two sages as a touchstone?!
Mad!
It's truly too mad!
This brat really isn't afraid that these words will provoke Laozi and Yuanshi into a complete berserk rage, disregarding everything?!
All beings secretly broke a sweat for him.
On the other side, hearing Chen Ku's words, Laozi and Yuanshi indeed flew into a rage.
"You're bullying people too much!"
"Truly, you're bullying people too much!"
Laozi's face turned dark as iron, and he gritted his teeth in angry shouting.
As the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, when has he ever been so despised?!
Having spoken, Laozi waved his big hand and employed the Taiji Diagram.
Beside him, Yuanshi likewise moved his thought and unleashed the Pangu Banner.
The two great treasures of Opening Heaven reappeared, their divine light intertwining, complementing each other, their might increased.
It can be said that, faintly, the true might of Opening Heaven already permeated out.
Seeing this, Chen Ku was not startled but delighted.
"The true might of Opening Heaven?!"
"If so, I too shall break these two treasures with the Three Styles of Opening Heaven!"
Chen Ku responded with overbearing aura.
The Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner are two of the three great treasures of Opening Heaven.
And for Chen Ku, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler is also an Opening Heaven treasure, bearing his self-created great divine ability of the Three Styles of Opening Heaven.
Without hesitation, he again employed this supreme divine ability.
The Three Styles of Opening Heaven, unleashed in succession!
The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler burst forth with billions of zhang of divine radiance, shaking the universe and submerging all things.
Purple qi surged like a flood, unstoppable, directly clashing with the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, the two great treasures.
Immediately, the two great Opening Heaven treasures trembled incessantly, their divine light thrown into chaos.
Laozi and Yuanshi's faces changed greatly.
"Damn, why is this Opening Heaven Three Styles different from before?!"
Yuanshi exclaimed in shock.
Previously, when Chen Ku dealt with the Great Immortal Yangmei, he had also used the Three Styles of Opening Heaven, and the Three Pure Ones and others had witnessed it.
But then, Chen Ku had employed the Opening Heaven Three Styles created by Pangu.
This time, however, it is a self-created version after sublimation.
Its might is even greater, and the might of Opening Heaven is even more vast like an abyss.
Even if the two great Opening Heaven treasures are stacked together, there is still a feeling of being unstoppable.
Laozi and Yuanshi both felt strained!
But they are not allowed to think much further.
As Yuanshi's words fell, the third style of the Three Styles of Opening Heaven, also the ultimate sublimated move, descended with a boom at this moment.
Boom!
Boom!
Accompanied by the explosion of two immortal sounds that shattered the high heavens.
The Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, the surrounding immortal light shattered with a boom.
Afterward, the two supreme treasures also dimmed in light, and were completely blown away.
Laozi and Yuanshi were shocked and alarmed, hastily lashed out, only then did they retrieve the two supreme treasures, preventing them from falling into the depths of Chaos.
Chen Ku's face showed a hint of satisfied smile.
"Hehe, with the Chaos Body plus the Three Styles of Opening Heaven!"
"It's practically like a fish in water, achieving twice the result with half the effort."
He couldn't help but think this in his heart.
Exactly!
Only Chen Ku himself understood.
The Three Styles of Opening Heaven blew away the two great Opening Heaven supreme treasures; with his own power he suppressed the two sages, not only because of the might of divine abilities and merit treasures.
More importantly, with the Chaos Body's support, the endless vital energy within Chaos, Chen Ku can draw it in an instant to replenish himself.
Such ferocity is completely incomparable to the Primordial's power.
Thinking this, Chen Ku's figure did not pause in the slightest.
He took another step forward, arriving directly before Laozi and Yuanshi.
His eyes were like lightning, his bearing like jade, his stature towering.
In an instant, Laozi and Yuanshi couldn't help but have their pupils contract sharply, both retreating half a step.
It's easy to imagine how astonishing the impact on Laozi and Yuanshi was when their most relied-upon Opening Heaven supreme treasure was shattered.
Even though the two faced Chen Ku alone, they still felt an immense, indescribable pressure.
Chen Ku struck again.
Having lost the protection of the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner, Laozi and Yuanshi kept retreating.
Finally.
At a certain moment, Laozi seemed to have made some kind of decision.
He gritted his teeth in hatred, and as he violently withdrew, he shouted:
"Stop!"
"This time, we have lost!"
"There's no need to continue the great battle any further."
Upon saying that,
All beings instantly erupted in an uproar, every face filled with disbelief.
End of Chapter
