Chapter 863: Tongtian
"Zhunti, how dare you!"
Tongtian Jiaozhu's sharp shout echoed throughout the entire Honghuang.
Then, countless Shengling Sword Sword Sword looked up at the sky, seeing a terrifying Sword Qi tens of thousands of miles long traversing the sky above the Primordial Continent at an incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, it slashed from Golden Turtle Island above the East Sea all the way to Lingshan in the Primordial West.
On Lingshan.
Zhunti Daoren and Jieyin Daoren both had their expressions change.
How could a strike containing the fury of Tongtian Jiaozhu be ordinary?
The Sword Qi was vast for hundreds of millions of miles, radiating a terrifying murderous intent.
The Sword Intent, pure to the extreme, seemed as if it would split the entire universe apart.
The followers of Buddhism on Lingshan and in the surrounding areas were filled with horror in their eyes, feeling as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Hmph..."
Zhunti Daoren and Jieyin Daoren both shouted in unison.
In an instant, two terrifying rays of Fo light surged into the sky, colliding with the descending Zhu Xian Sword Qi.
Boom—!
The entire Honghuang trembled violently, and countless stars were shaken from the Starry Sky, dragging long tails of fire.
As the Zhu Xian Sword Qi was shattered, an indescribable destructive shockwave, centered on Lingshan, impacted in all directions in an instant, and the entire space paused heavily.
Wherever the energy shockwave passed, all high mountains were like paper, turning into fine powder one after another.
Within a radius of tens of millions of miles, all mountain peaks were leveled.
If not for Zhunti Daoren and Jieyin Daoren exerting their great power to protect the living, I fear that all life within tens of millions of miles of Lingshan would have been wiped out in an instant.
From this, it is evident that Tongtian Jiaozhu's anger was completely unbridled.
Tongtian Jiaozhu, holding the Qingping Sword, stepped out from the void; he looked down at Lingshan with a cold expression and said sharply: "Zhunti, during the Fengshen War, we had an agreement long ago that Saints must not intervene.
Since you disregard the rules, then come out and have a bout with me.
Do you really take me for someone made of mud, breaking the rules again and again?"
Previously, he was only worried, worried that the Western Two Sages would truly be, as analyzed by the 'Honghuang Minor Dao', won over by Yuanshi Tianzun to participate in the Fengshen War.
Now, it was completely confirmed.
This left Tongtian Jiaozhu both shocked and furious, his killing intent surging to the heavens.
Back then, when the Dao Ancestor had the various Saints sign the Investiture of the Gods, you Western Two Sages refused at all costs, claiming that the Western Sect was in the West and would not participate in the disputes of the East; yet now you go back on your word and even strike at his grand-disciple.
Yuanshi is one thing, but you dare to as well?
Truly, if this can be endured, what cannot?
………
Jiepai Pass.
Although the Great Five Elements Fire Dragon Array had collapsed, the four Buddhist Golden Immortals were still burning with raging flames; in the end, having no other choice, they had to abandon their physical bodies, and their Primordial Spirits shot into the sky.
As long as the Primordial Spirit remained, it was no big deal to condense another physical body.
Yunzhongzi and the other five were also struck by the Sea-Calming Pearl; caught off guard, they were sent flying thousands of miles, but because they all had Innate Spiritual Treasures for protection, there was no danger to their lives, only heavy injuries.
A moment later, they rushed back with Randeng Daoren.
At this time, the attacks from the three thousand Warships of the Yin-Shang arrived.
They fired rays of destructive Immortal Light, specifically bombarding densely populated areas, and those below the Immortal Dao were instantly reduced to ashes.
Even among the Immortal Dao cultivators, a large number of Earth Immortals, and even Heavenly Immortals, were blasted to death.
Immediately following, more than fifty thousand Yin-Shang Immortal Dao cultivators also charged over, and various Dharma Treasures, Talismans, and Immortal Arts poured down from the sky like a violent storm.
Explosions erupted everywhere, and the Xiqi camp fell into chaos in an instant.
"Retreat!"
Zhao Gongming shouted loudly.
Although the previous sneak attack had good results, killing one Chan Sect Golden Immortal.
But the others were basically fine.
The key was that besides the Chan Sect Golden Immortals, there were actually five Buddhist Golden Immortals; joining forces, they were certainly no match, so if the Yin-Shang Immortal Dao army did not retreat, the entire army would surely be wiped out. Since that was the case, it was best to quit while ahead.
Hearing Zhao Gongming's voice, the Yin-Shang Immortal Dao army did not linger and retreated rapidly.
The fifty thousand-plus Immortal Dao army was in the front, with three thousand Warships covering the rear.
In the Yin-Shang, because the Warships all possessed their own power sources and were connected to a network, they could be remotely controlled by Immortal spirits, so they did not require people to operate them.
Being left behind to cover the retreat, there was no heartache even if they were destroyed.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Seeing that the Yin-Shang Immortal Dao army was about to retreat, how could Randeng Daoren and the others agree? They all launched attacks.
Such an opportunity to directly attack the Yin-Shang had never existed before.
However, just as they attacked, Guiling Shengmu, Zhao Gongming, and the others intercepted them; Guiling Shengmu faced off against Randeng Daoren, while Zhao Gongming fought the six great Golden Immortals including Yunzhongzi alone.
The remaining three Chan Sect Golden Immortals and four Buddhist Golden Immortals, though seven in number and holding an absolute advantage, were mostly injured, so while they could suppress Caiyun Xianzi and the others, they could not defeat them in a short time.
Please... support... 6... 9... book....!
Relying on the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Sea-Calming Pearl, Zhao Gongming fought the six great Golden Immortals without being defeated.
Guiling Shengmu, however, was beaten with no power to fight back.
Although she was an Inner Disciple of the Jie Sect and one of Tongtian Jiaozhu's four great disciples, the Sun-Moon Pearl was, after all, a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure.
This was not because Tongtian Jiaozhu valued Zhao Gongming more, but because the Sea-Calming Pearl was originally Zhao Gongming's own Innate Spiritual Treasure; otherwise, how could he, an Outer Disciple, possess the Sea-Calming Pearl?
With Randeng Daoren and the others intercepted, the Yin-Shang army took the opportunity to retreat rapidly.
In just a few breaths of time, they all retreated back to Jiepai Pass, and subsequently, Zhao Gongming, Guiling Shengmu, and the other five also withdrew rapidly; they did not linger in battle and very quickly returned to Jiepai Pass.
Randeng Daoren and the others attacked Jiepai Pass in a venting manner, yet they were met with a counterattack from Zhao Gongming and the others.
With the Guardian Formation in place, they could not gain much of an advantage.
Consequently, they had no choice but to withdraw.
They withdrew temporarily not only because it was currently unsuitable to lay siege to the city, but also because of the terrifying aura emanating from Tongtian Jiaozhu, which they could still clearly sense even from an infinite distance away.
They were also worried that Tongtian Jiaozhu might take action against them.
After all, Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhunti Daoren had both set a bad precedent by actually attacking their juniors.
Yunzhongzi said, "Let us first see what has happened to Jiang Shang."
As for the chaotic army, they could reorganize it later; right now, the life and death of Jiang Ziya were what mattered.
Very quickly.
They discovered Jiang Ziya at the bottom of the abyss.
At this moment, Jiang Ziya.
Was truly miserable.
Not only was more than half of his body gone, but even his Primordial Spirit had suffered heavy damage and was already on the verge of collapse.
If a Saint did not take action, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not save him.
"Quick, quickly seek help from the Sect Master."
Juliusun and the others were shocked and terrified.
Jiang Ziya was, after all, the person appointed by Yuanshi Tianzun to oversee the Investiture of the Gods; no accidents could befall him.
Just at this moment, a ripple appeared in the void.
Baihe Tongzi walked out from the void, holding a cyan Immortal Pill in his hand, and said, "Uncles, this is the Seven Revolutions Soul Returning Pill bestowed by the Sect Master, which can save Uncle Jiang Ziya."
Yunzhongzi and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly requested Baihe Tongzi to administer it to Jiang Ziya.
The Seven Revolutions Soul Returning Pill was a Divine Pill refined by Laozi.
Even for a Golden Immortal, as long as the Primordial Spirit has not been completely annihilated, taking the Seven Revolutions Soul Returning Pill can allow one to return from the brink of death.
The difficulty of refining such a Pill is even greater than that of the Seven-Turn Golden Pill.
It is only because of the close relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi that he possesses such a Divine Pill. (End of chapter)
