"The direction of the divine punishment is towards the Supreme Sage! Is this Heaven punishing the Supreme Sage?"

"Such a terrifying divine punishment is something even a sage would find difficult to withstand! The Supreme Sage is in grave danger now!"

"Will those beings from beyond the realms intervene to help the Supreme Sage? Or will they allow the Supreme Sage to suffer divine punishment?"

...

Throughout the Journey to the West, every immortal and powerful being was shaken to their core upon witnessing the terrifying heavenly punishment hurtling towards Laozi.

At this moment, they were all very curious about what fate awaited Lao Tzu in the face of this terrifying divine punishment!

Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor watched intently as Hongjun Laozu condensed the Purple Heavenly Punishment to attack Taishang Laozi, his eyes fixed on him, and he murmured:

"Will this divine punishment be shattered again, just like before?"

At this moment, the Jade Emperor was still deeply immersed in the shock of witnessing the Purple Heavenly Punishment being easily shattered by Pangu, who was formed from the Three Immortals.

With the shattering of that heavenly punishment, the Jade Emperor's belief in the supreme and invincible Heavenly Dao also shattered.

His mind was in turmoil.

As the ruler of Heaven, his greatest reliance is on Hongjun Laozu and the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao is no longer supreme, then the Jade Emperor's authority to rule the Three Realms will be greatly shaken!

The Jade Emperor represents a genuine expectation, while this is a falsehood, a dream.

Unfortunately, the harsh reality was right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it!

...

Lingshan.

Seeing the Heavenly Eye unleash its power once more, the Buddha's previously dejected and dispirited mood was lifted again.

He looked on with anticipation:

"You must strike! Dao Ancestor, Heavenly Dao, you must demonstrate your power to the world, restore the majesty of Heavenly Dao, severely punish those who collude with the extraterrestrial demons, and eliminate these despicable extraterrestrial demons as soon as possible!"

The Buddha has already sacrificed too much for the prosperity of Buddhism.

He's practically gone all in, completely bound to Buddhism.

He could not accept the fact that the journey to the West had been thwarted and that Buddhism was facing a great calamity.

He desperately hoped that Hongjun Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao would unleash their divine power, reverse the situation, and get everything back on track!

...

Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader felt extremely conflicted when he saw the terrifying heavenly punishment striking his elder brother.

He still harbored some resentment towards Laozi for choosing to side with Yuanshi Tianzun against him during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader understood that Laozi had his reasons for doing so back then, and it wasn't entirely out of his heart.

Thinking of the deep bond between the Three Pure Ones over the long years, the Master of Heaven was more inclined to hope that Laozi could overcome this tribulation and that nothing would happen to him.

He was ultimately a very sentimental and genuine person.

"Brother, I hope you're alright..."

After a moment of reflection, the Master of the Heavens murmured to himself.

...

The fact that Hongjun Laozu gathered heavenly punishment to bombard Taishang Laozi has touched the hearts of all the immortals and gods in the Journey to the West world.

Master Xuandu, a disciple of Laozi, along with his brother Master Tongtian and others, hope that Laozi is alright.

The Buddha, Lao Tzu's other brother Yuanshi Tianzun, and others hoped that Lao Tzu would be struck down as a warning to others and to demonstrate the might of Heaven!

Amidst the spotlight.

Pangu, who was transformed from the Three Immortals, moved once again.

"Rumble..."

As if history were repeating itself, they swung their enormous black axes at the pillar of divine punishment formed from countless bolts of purple lightning.

In an instant.

It was as if the world had been reborn; wherever the black giant axe passed, everything shattered completely.

final.

In the blink of an eye.

When the black giant axe touched the pillar of divine punishment.

That mighty and terrifying pillar of divine punishment shattered once again, like an incredibly fragile bubble!

If the first time could be a coincidence, then the second time it easily shattered the pillar of heavenly punishment undoubtedly tells everyone that the Pangu transformed from the Three Immortals of the Clouds is not just for show; they possess terrifying power that even the Heavenly Dao avoids!
