Chapter 1072: Laozi's Ruthlessness

As the Pangu Primordial Spirit appeared, countless sealed memories surged forth.

These memories were extremely vast, crazily battering the minds of the Three Pure Ones.

"Hahaha, Pangu Memory, there really is Pangu Memory!"

"So Law Sanctification is the true path; everything else is just a Leftist Path. It is hateful that Hongjun actually hid this from us and led us astray."

"Hiss, as expected of Pangu; not only did his physical body reach Saint Peak, but he also fully comprehended the three laws of Creation, Destruction, and Pure Yang to the peak of the Trunk Realm. These are all Heavenly Dao Realm."

"Three laws, just enough for each of us three brothers to have one."

"We are the orthodox Pangu lineage. This Primordial World was opened by Pangu; it should naturally be ruled by us, the Three Pure Ones."

……

Waves of intense consciousness continuously washed out from the Pangu Primordial Spirit.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian were ecstatic.

This was equivalent to them obtaining all of Pangu's cultivation memories, which was simply a heaven-defying opportunity for them, who were only at the Sage Early Stage and had walked the wrong path.

As long as they completely refined these memories, they could quickly cultivate to Saint Peak.

Or rather, the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Saving hundreds of millions of years of bitter cultivation.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were completely immersed in the joy of obtaining the Pangu Memory, even fantasizing about cultivating to the Heavenly Dao Realm next, killing Di Qi, and standing on equal footing with Hongjun.

They did not notice that the intensely fluctuating consciousness of Laozi had already calmed down.

Suddenly, Dharma seals shot out from the Pangu Primordial Spirit and quickly submerged into the Practice Hall; then, the countless runes on the four walls, the floor, and the roof of the Practice Hall all shone with great brilliance.

They emerged and circled around the Pangu Primordial Spirit, forming a Refining Array.

Only then did Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu react.

They were both shocked and furious:

"Eldest Brother, what is the meaning of this?"

"A Refining Array! Laozi, your greed knows no bounds; you are not satisfied even after obtaining the Pangu Memory, and you actually want to refine us!"

"Stop the array immediately; we are still the Three Pure Ones."

"Eldest Brother, we have already obtained the Pangu Memory, and achieving Pangu is only a matter of time. Could it be that our hundreds of millions of years of brotherhood are not worth as much as the hatred for Di Qi?"

Laozi's cold voice rang out, devoid of any emotion: "Memory is memory. Even if we inherit Pangu's insights into the laws, if we want to cultivate to Saint Peak, we cannot avoid a million years of bitter cultivation."

"But if I devour you, I can become Pangu in an instant."

"This poor Daoist cannot wait."

"Second Brother, Third Brother, this poor Daoist has plotted for five hundred years to set up this Refining Array; you cannot escape."

"Why not merge with this poor Daoist and achieve the prestige of our Three Pure Ones."

Due to the violent struggle of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, the Pangu Primordial Spirit no longer looked like a 'human figure'; it was like a lump of clay being kneaded, constantly changing shape.

At its most intense, it was even on the verge of splitting into three.

But they remained connected, and were soon pulled back together.

As Laozi continuously activated the array, invisible power acted upon the Pangu Primordial Spirit, helping him 'assimilate' the Primordial Spirits of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu naturally resisted with all their might, but they were unable to stop Laozi's devouring.

Soon, they had lost nearly half of their Primordial Spirits.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were shocked and furious.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun was full of hate and anger, he began to speak softly: "Eldest Brother, stop now; we brothers have hundreds of millions of years of brotherhood. Besides, if you devour us, the Dao Ancestor will certainly not let you off."

"Yuanshi, why beg him? This poor Daoist saw it long ago; he, Laozi, is cold-blooded and heartless. All that talk of 'non-action' is actually just a cover for his own selfishness."

Tongtian Jiaozhu had a fiery temperament and would rather die than submit; he roared: "He wants to devour this poor Daoist? Dream on! Explode for me!"

In despair, he decided to self-destruct.

But soon, the voice of Tongtian Jiaozhu, filled with shock, anger, and despair, came from the Pangu Primordial Spirit: "How can this be? Why can this poor Daoist not self-destruct! Laozi, you beast!"

Laozi's voice remained cold: "This poor Daoist understands your nature; how could I not be prepared? Under the Refining Array, the Pangu Primordial Spirit is fixed; you have no other path but to be assimilated by me."

At this, Yuanshi Tianzun also fell into complete despair.

He gave up the thought of begging and followed by cursing: "Laozi, for so many years, I have always treated you with the utmost respect. You are simply a heartless and unrighteous beast, even worse than a beast." The angry curses of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu did not slow down Laozi's devouring speed.

Finally, their voices came to an abrupt end in despair:

"Laozi, this poor Daoist will wait for you in the Return Ruins!"

"Ah, this poor Daoist is not reconciled!"

………

A Saint has fallen, and the Heavenly Dao senses it.

Boom—!

Within the Primordial World, the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

In an instant, thunder struck in clear skies, black clouds rolled, wild winds raged, and blood rain fell from the sky.

An extremely intense feeling of sorrow permeated the entire Primordial World, silently affecting all cultivators below the Great Luo level; they felt an inexplicable sadness and, without realizing it, were already streaming with tears.

Although the Sages fell last time, they did not truly die.

Do not miss a single word of this content!

This time, it was a true fall.

Even the Heavenly Dao could not resurrect Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Precisely because of this, the omen of heaven and earth mourning together was even more terrifying; the sky was filled with rolling black clouds, as if they were about to press down onto the ground.

Countless purple-black Thunder intertwined back and forth within the black clouds.

Between heaven and earth, there were black gales and countless blood-water falling like a torrential rain.

It was a scene of the apocalypse.

In the hearts of all living beings in Honghuang, there was an inexplicable realization: Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had completely perished!

………

Tianjing.

The Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace.

On this day, Yin Qi and Yang Mei were discussing the Dao when they suddenly looked up at the sky in unison, their eyes filled with confusion, for he felt an extremely intense emotion of sorrow from the Heavenly Dao!

A Saint had fallen!

And it was Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu!

How could this be?

In Honghuang, the only ones with the ability to kill Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were Hongjun, or the two of them.

The two of them were discussing the Dao, so it could not be them.

Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao, so it was also impossible for him to kill Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Then who exactly was the murderer?

And what was the murderer's purpose in killing them?

Thinking of this, Yin Qi and Yang Mei both secretly furrowed their brows and quickly performed a Calculation.

Rumble!

At this moment, the phenomena of a Saint's fall finally appeared.

Dark clouds rolled, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

Black winds raged, and blood rain fell from the sky.

Such phenomena stunned all living beings in Honghuang.

No.

Not stunned, but terrified out of their wits!

Boom!

Honghuang was in an uproar.

"Heavens, another Saint has fallen, the world mourns together, and the phenomena are far beyond what they were last time; it is a scene of the apocalypse."

"Wuwu, so sad, so sorrowful. But in reality, I want to laugh, because there is a feeling in the dark that the ones who died this time are Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu."

"Master! Impossible, this is impossible! Isn't Master in seclusion recovering from injuries? How could he suddenly perish!"

"Who is it, who exactly killed Master?"

"Di Qi, it must be Di Qi! In this Honghuang, only Di Qi could kill them!"

"This shouldn't be. As long as Honghuang is not destroyed, a Saint does not die. Saints have already entrusted their Primordial Spirit to the void, how could they be killed? Didn't they revive immediately last time?"
