Chapter 469
"You two, how much longer are you going to watch the show?"
Jieyin said this to the void, aimlessly.
Two black figures appeared silently behind Jieyin.
And these two were the Ancestral Demons of the Outer Realm Demon Race.
They did not know what means they had used to be able to sneak into the inner realm silently, and to have been watching the show for a long time without revealing a trace of aura.
Before, when Jieyin and Zhunti were suffering, the two of them had not had the slightest intention of acting to rescue them.
"The affairs of your inner realm, this Venerable has no leisure to interfere." The speaking demon had a curvaceous figure and transformed from a shadow form into a woman of endless charm.
"But since I have appeared, this Venerable can give you a chance to escape." The female Ancestral Demon licked her fingertips with her tongue charmingly. "Opening the passage between the two domains is your only path to survival."
"Before you succeed, this Venerable can guarantee that no one will be able to interrupt your spellcasting."
The people of the Outer Realm Demon Race did not care about the life or death of their partners at all. What they cared about was always just their own goals.
So they would watch coldly until Jieyin was forced into a dead end before they appeared to help him open the passage between the two domains.
Tongtian Jiaozhu exchanged glances with Taishang Laojun; neither spoke, but both were ready to act at any time.
Jieyin also knew he was at the end of his rope and had to fight for his life. He hardened his heart, disregarding the consequences of burning his Primordial Spirit, and pulled the passage between the two domains hidden in the void to mid-air above Lingshan.
"Act." Tongtian Jiaozhu did not waste words, directly wanting to kill Jieyin first.
At the same time, the two Ancestral Demons also moved. They might not necessarily be able to defeat Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun, but their goal was not victory, but stalling.
The array that the Heavenly Dao had originally destroyed was being rapidly repaired by Jieyin at the cost of burning his Primordial Spirit.
"Obstinate." Hongjun's Dharma body appeared, pressing down with one hand, wanting to suppress Jieyin.
Jieyin cast spells with one hand to drive the great array, and resisted Hongjun's suppression power with the other.
"Hmph~"
He let out a muffled groan, blood flowing from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.
"If you remain obstinate, I will completely erase you."
The Heavenly Dao could foster a Saint, and could just as easily destroy a Saint, fostering another to supplement the Saint position.
Of course, unless it was a last resort, the Heavenly Dao would not do this. Because doing so would damage the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, causing the defense of the Three Realms to be unstable and giving the Outer Realm Demon Race an opportunity.
But if the Heavenly Dao did not do this now, the Outer Realm Demon Race would directly launch a full-scale invasion through the passage between the two domains.
Jieyin laughed wildly, his eyes bloodshot, shedding tears of blood. At the same time, blood flowed from both his ears.
"Dao Ancestor, oh Dao Ancestor, you used us to balance the Human Race and the three sects for many years. You said you would greatly flourish my Western Sect, but you indulged the Guardian to become stronger step by step, and indulged her to destroy the foundation of my Western Sect and exterminate my sect."
"You want everything; you cannot bear to see any force become dominant; you want to restrain everyone and balance everyone."
"Now you abandon us as soon as you say so, without leaving a trace of affection. Since you were ruthless first, don't blame me for not remembering old feelings!"
Jieyin disregarded the blood flowing from his seven orifices, roared, and burned his Primordial Spirit with all his might to repair the array that opened the passage between the two domains.
Seeing that the array was about to take shape, Hongjun had to act, painfully erasing Jieyin.
Tang An opened her eyes at this moment. Now that everyone was attracted by the crisis of the passage between the two domains, they had already ignored her existence.
She did not intend to stop the formation of the passage between the two domains, because the fact that Nuwa had not yet appeared showed that the Great Tribulation of guarding the Three Realms had already begun.
Rather than having this Great Tribulation respond elsewhere, Tang An naturally hoped more that the Great Tribulation would respond here.
If her guess was correct, someone would act to stop Hongjun from erasing Jieyin.
At the very least, before the passage between the two domains was opened, Jieyin would definitely not die.
"Master." Sun Wukong's voice came from the jade pendant. "Are we not going to act?"
Tang An's mouth lifted slightly, her smile carrying a bit of mischief. "For the first head-on confrontation, I have prepared for a long time; I will definitely not let the guests be disappointed."
As the Guardian, her first confrontation with the Outer Realm Demon Race would come sooner or later.
Rather than being passive, it was better to be active. She had to hit the opponent fast, hard, and accurately to make them hurt. Only then could she make them afraid to invade easily, and only then could she ensure the long-term stability of the Three Realms.
If it were not for this plan, she would not have wasted so much time here with Jieyin and Zhunti.
She was forcing the two Saints into a dead end, forcing the Ancestral Demons who thought they could control the overall situation in the Three Realms to appear.
Only by forcing the hidden enemies into the open would her chances of victory be greater.
"Boom~"
As Hongjun acted to erase Jieyin, sure enough, another demonic shadow appeared in mid-air.
However, that demonic shadow was different from ordinary Ancestral Demons; Tang An sensed a strong danger warning from him.
Someone who could save Jieyin from the Dao Ancestor's hands was likely the Outer Realm Primordial Demon himself acting.
However, it was not the Primordial Demon's true body that came; what appeared now was more like a projection of his demonic shadow.
Just a projection could block the Heavenly Dao from erasing a Saint? To what extent must he be strong?
It seems her plan to clear out the Outer Realm Demon Race would have to be reconsidered.
"Zhunti, look."
"Your Senior Brother has received the protection of the Outer Realm Demon Race, while you can only be trapped in the Hunyuan Golden Dipper, shaved of your cultivation, and become a Saint that everyone can bully."
"He is about to escape, and I don't feel at all that he has any intention of taking you with him."
Tang An's voice seemed to carry a bewitching tone, making Zhunti's pupils pitch black.
His Dao Heart was shattered; being stabbed by his own Senior Brother, plus Tang An's stimulation, he had already completely fallen into the demonic path.
"Kill!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill!"
The Primordial Spirit on Zhunti's body burned with black flames, breaking through the Hunyuan Golden Dipper and flying toward Jieyin, who was repairing the array.
All parties were restraining each other, and no one could spare the energy to block Zhunti.
Jieyin was bleeding from his seven orifices, his face pale, roaring in pain, just as he was about to open the two domains.
"Pfft~"
In a situation where he was completely unprepared and had no ability to defend, a sword wreathed in black energy stabbed into Jieyin's heart from behind.
Jieyin vomited blood with a "wah" sound, turned around, and saw the demonized Zhunti.
At this moment, he was heartbroken.
How did the two high-and-mighty Saints of the Western Sect reach this point of killing each other?
"Junior Brother!"
"Wake up!"
Zhunti not only did not wake up, but exerted force to stab down, about to pierce Jieyin's heart pulse.
"Ah!!!"
Whether it was out of pain or because the Dharma power he needed to expend was too great, Jieyin's voice cracked, and at the same time, an incomparably dazzling white light erupted in front of him.
At the same time, nine-colored light that shot straight into the sky also rose from Tang An's body. At that moment, she sensed the Great Dao Law incomparably clearly.
Just by comprehending it for a moment, it was as if she had instantly crossed thousands of years of time. She saw the beginning of all things, Nuwa creating humans. She also saw the birth and fall of the gods.
She also comprehended the power of creation, mysterious and profound, as if it were far beyond the river of time, yet arrived in the blink of an eye. It also seemed within reach, yet forever unattainable.
