Chapter 449: The Top-Tier Great Killing Weapon of Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Shattering Power, Belonging Solely to Me, Tang An

Doushuai Palace, inside the main hall.

Tang An took out the blueprints she had obtained and showed them to Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun.

Taishang Laojun stroked his beard, becoming more alarmed the more he looked. "A mortal of later generations actually possesses such a Great Killing Weapon?"

After finishing the blueprints in his hand, Tongtian Jiaozhu had concerns. "Disciple, although these blueprints have considerable power, if you wish to harm a Saint or destroy the nest of the Outer Realm Demon Race, I fear..."

Tang An naturally knew that while an 'East Wind Express' might be enough to destroy a country, it was certainly impossible to destroy a Saint.

"I understand that, which is why I didn't move the weapons here directly, but asked for the blueprints instead."

As she spoke, she waved her hand to manifest several Innate Spiritual Treasures, then poured out a mountain-like pile of Immortal Treasures and Dharma artifacts.

"What I intend to do is gather the power of the acquired, fuse it with the spirit of the innate, and create a top-tier acquired Great Killing Weapon capable of killing a Saint."

Taishang Laojun looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu in astonishment, as if asking for his opinion.

"It seems the Senior Brother already has confidence in his heart." Tongtian Jiaozhu was naturally fully supportive of Tang An.

Taishang Laojun pondered for a moment; he was hesitating over whether to truly forge such a top-tier Great Killing Weapon.

If this Dharma artifact were to succeed, not only the Saints, the Ancestral Demons, but even the Heavenly Dao itself might be threatened by it.

Tang An had always acted according to her own heart; if she were to destroy the Heavenly Dao in a fit of rage, the Three Realms would struggle to endure.

"If the Master Ancestor is unwilling, I will go find Nuwa Niangniang."

"Junior Disciple." Taishang Laojun called out to stop Tang An; he knew that since Tang An had gone to such great lengths, she was determined to achieve her goal.

Even if he did not permit it or do it, she would exhaust every means to forge that Great Killing Weapon.

"The Master Ancestor can forge it for you, but you must also promise the Master Ancestor that you will prioritize the living beings of the Three Realms above all else and not truly damage the foundation of the Heavenly Dao."

Tang An shook her head, "Master Ancestor, what I want is a Great Killing Weapon, and a Great Killing Weapon is naturally meant for killing and intimidating enemies."

"Whoever wants to kill me, I will surely kill them. On this matter, there is no room for compromise."

"Tang An can only promise the Master Ancestor that if the Heavenly Dao does not endanger the lives of myself and my loved ones, I will certainly not use this killing weapon."

"But if it moves against my loved ones or touches my reverse scale, even if it is the Heavenly Dao, I will surely strike it down."

"I want to protect the living beings of the Three Realms, and I want to ensure the safety of the people of the Great Tang. But they should not become the weakness the Heavenly Dao uses to manipulate me."

"If it doesn't even care about the Three Realms, why should I? What do you think?"

Taishang Laojun was rendered speechless by Tang An's words, and he was naturally well aware of the Heavenly Dao's consistent conduct.

"Senior Brother, just say whether you can forge it or not? If you cannot, I will take her to find someone who can."

Taishang Laojun signaled for them to give him some time to consider; after all, if he were to forge this Great Killing Weapon, he would certainly be implicated in the Causality.

But the crisis of the Three Realms was imminent, and the Heavenly Dao's actions were even more...

"Very well."

"Tell me your specific ideas."

"Good." Tang An exchanged a look with Tongtian Jiaozhu, then looked at Taishang Laojun with a faint smile.

She explained her partial modifications for the Great Killing Weapon clearly to Taishang Laojun, including what Dharma artifacts should be used to fill and fuse in which places.

After three consecutive days of discussion, Taishang Laojun finally began the forging process.

Tang An and Tongtian Jiaozhu did not leave; they were standing guard, guarding against the Heavenly Dao intervening when the Great Killing Weapon was completed.

"Disciple, you are quite generous." Tongtian Jiaozhu and Tang An, each on a lounge chair, were waiting leisurely in the courtyard.

To let her Master enjoy himself, Tang An had even specially prepared a foot-soaking session.

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not understand, but since Tang An wanted to fuss, he let her fuss.

But truth be told, lying on a lounge chair soaking one's feet, eating Immortal Fruit, and watching the changing winds and clouds was truly leisurely, carefree, and very comfortable.

"That was something I snatched from the Western Sect; why would I be reluctant?"

Tang An picked up a bunch of grapes and popped one into her mouth.

"But the Seven-Treasured Wonderful Tree and the Six-Cleanliness Bamboo have extraordinary power; will forcibly fusing them into one diminish the power of the Dharma artifacts?"

"Pah. The Great Master Ancestor is forging it himself, can you not be at ease?"

"Hmm." On this point, Tongtian Jiaozhu was indeed at ease. "However, you did well to take the Immortal-Slaying Gourd; with the Innate Sword Qi of this treasure to lead the way, even the Outer Realm Ancestral Demons will find it hard to resist."

Of course, no matter how good a Magic Treasure is, it depends on who is using it. Only with stronger Dharma Power can one maximize the power of the Magic Treasure.

"Is the disciple planning to kill one of the Two Sages of the West and then take their place to complete the Saint position?"

Tang An wagged her index finger, "Master, actually, I don't have such great ambitions, nor do I want to Enter Sainthood."

"You and the Master Ancestor seem to have a lofty status, ranked among the Three Pure Ones. But you are bound so deeply by the Heavenly Dao that I fear you are constrained by it in many matters."

"Only Yuanshi Tianzun follows the Heavenly Dao the most, which is why his status in the Three Realms is also the highest and most stable among the Saints."

"But Master, rest assured, even without becoming a Saint, after this experience, the disciple has enough ability to protect herself."

Tongtian Jiaozhu scrutinized Tang An and discovered that he truly could no longer see through her.

"When do you plan to go to the Western Sect?"

"No rush, I'll go after the Master Ancestor finishes forging the Great Killing Weapon." Tang An pillowed her head on her arms, rocking the lounge chair, and slept blissfully.

Seven days later.

In Doushuai Palace, a golden radiance shot straight into the Sanshisan Chongtian, triggering natural anomalies; red clouds gathered, and the heaven and earth shook.

Tang An on the lounge chair and Tongtian Jiaozhu meditating in the main hall opened their eyes at the same time.

The Heavenly Dao sensed the change here, and the natural anomalies changed instantly; rolling black clouds obscured the sun, and his Dharma body appeared and disappeared within the thunderclouds.

"Yo, Master Ancestor, you've arrived?"

"Long time no see, coming down for a cup of tea?"

Tang An appeared barefoot in mid-air, having changed into a magnificent Dharma robe. Her silk shawl fluttered among the clouds, appearing so sacred.

It's just that when she opens her mouth... how should one put it... one can only say that when she isn't speaking, she is quite convincing.

Hongjun's Dharma body was faintly visible in the thunderclouds, "You all defy the will of Heaven, disregarding the suffering of living beings to forge such a killing weapon; will you not stop?"

As the voice of Hongjun Laozu fell, Golden Lightning rolled down around Tang An, "crackling" and causing people's ears to ache.

If it were an ordinary immortal, they would likely have had their soul scattered by now.

Tongtian Jiaozhu let out a cold snort and appeared by Tang An's side. He knew that now was not the time for Tang An to reveal her true strength.

"And what if I do not withdraw?"

"Rebellious disciple!" Hongjun Laozu extended the hand of his dharma body and pressed it toward Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not dodge or evade; with a thought, four different sword currents appeared behind him, striking the hand of Hongjun Laozu's dharma body from four directions.

"If you can tolerate it today, then tolerate it. If you cannot, then let us fight!"
