Donghuang Taiyi chuckled and said, "Lingbao Tianzun, you are too arrogant. No wonder you suffered a great defeat during the Investiture of the Gods, and the Jie Sect was completely ruined!"
The Demon Emperor Di Jun was on guard, keeping a watchful eye on the Tongtian Sect Master. After all, this Saint of the Jie Sect was at the second realm, a level stronger than him. Even without the Four Swords of Zhuxian, his power under the Qingping Sword was unparalleled!
"In the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, if I remember correctly, the Demon King didn't win either," the Tongtian Sect Leader said indifferently.
Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly and said, "We are all losers, so there is no need to argue about who wins or loses."
The Tongtian Sect Leader sneered, "Easy for you to say! My disciples and their allies were attacked by you and the Demon Emperor. If it weren't for the help of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Star Lord Ketu, the Fairy of Crimson Pearl, the Goddess of Cold Fragrance, the Golden Cicada, the Star of Heavenly Wounds, and the Star of Heavenly Loneliness, they would probably be cold corpses by now."
"So shameless, using your true Hunyuan form to bully a weak saint... If I don't seek you out and fight you, would you think that the face of my Jie Sect is at your mercy, to be trampled on at will?!"
Donghuang Taiyi said calmly, "Fight if you want. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? My Donghuang Bell will not lose to your Qingping Sword!"
The Master of Heaven laughed heartily and said, "That would be perfect!"
In the past, the defeat in the Investiture of the Gods was also due to a siege. The Four Sages intervened and broke the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Now, although he no longer has the four immortal swords, his enemies are only the Eastern Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
Although these two are powerful, comparable to the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti, they ultimately lack the addition of two giants like the Heavenly Venerable of Morality and the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning.
"Lingbao Tianzun, leave that Demon Emperor to me," Sun Wukong laughed. "I've been wanting to fight all the saints in one-on-one battles!"
The more intense the battle, the more profound his understanding of combat becomes. Coupled with the many sacred methods he has acquired along the way, he may be able to break through to the second level.
Just then, the Chaos Swordfish stared intently at Cao Ya and snarled:
"Lord Ketu, without the help of the Holy Path, this time, I will kill you in front of all the great figures of the Primordial World, so that they will understand what the Chaos Swordfish truly means, forever powerful!"
Cao Ya remained calm and said, "Wasn't the previous battle a duel between the two of us? If we couldn't win, we couldn't win, so why waste time talking?"
Chaos Swordfish's face was cold and sinister, and a fierce sword intent surged around him, ready to be unleashed at any moment!
"Be careful, those demon gods at the weak saint level are also eyeing you covetously," Cao Ya warned the group.
When Daiyu, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Tang Seng, Ji Gong and others looked over, they also saw things like the Chaos Scorpion, the Chaos Giant Serpent, and the Chaos Spider, all with cold expressions, staring at them.
"The Chaos Demon Gods..." Tang Sanzang said slowly, "We are all weak saints now, so we are not afraid of them."
"I am about to slay the Chaos Demon God in order to understand the Holy Path!" In the palm of Wu Song's hand, he held the Earth Emperor Shennong Furnace, the flames flickering, his hair disheveled, looking like both a god and a demon.
"However, we cannot be careless. Although those demon gods have been stuck in the realm of weak saints for countless years and have failed to become saints, their accumulation is unfathomable." Lin Daiyu's eyes turned and she spoke in a clear and melodious voice.
"Yes, next, it's obviously going to be a chaotic battle. Our top-grade spiritual treasures can really make a difference!" Xue Baochai said slowly, "Spiritual treasures are extremely powerful. Now that we have them, we definitely have to use them!"
"I must make use of this indestructible stone emperor's skull that I obtained," Lu Zhishen said with a smile, taking out the stone bone. Although it was covered in cracks, it still possessed an air of immortality.
"This is the first time I've ever fought a surviving Chaos God!" said Ji Gong.
Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Wudang, and Holy Mother Guiling were also fearless and dignified.
Chenxiang, however, carrying a replica of the Heaven-Opening Axe, paid no attention to the demons and gods, but instead looked toward the direction of the Chan Sect.
Just then, Yang Jian's gaze also turned over, and the uncle and nephew immediately felt a surge of fighting spirit!
"I'm going to beat Erlang Shen so badly he'll run away in a panic!" Chenxiang said through gritted teeth.
Sun Wukong and Cao Ya exchanged a glance and secretly shook their heads.
Modern agarwood is indeed much more potent, but it still falls short compared to Erlang Shen.
However, both of them understood that Erlang Shen's series of actions must have a deeper meaning.
Furthermore, Chenxiang is Yang Chan's biological son and Yang Jian's nephew. No matter what, Yang Jian would not kill him.
Furthermore, Cao Ya was also curious about how Yang Jian would achieve his goal in such a primordial universe. The Jade Emperor, being a true primordial being, would not stand idly by once the matter was exposed!
"It can't be that the Primordial Celestial Venerable would suffer the same fate, can it?" Cao Ya thought to himself, and also felt it was impossible.
Such a thing would not move Yuanshi Tianzun.
Moreover, Yang Jian probably wouldn't want to involve the Chan Sect in this.
Otherwise, what if we angered Dao Ancestor Hongjun...
Cao Ya's gaze swept across the surroundings, taking in the numerous bigwigs.
The Dao Ancestor's expression was indifferent, revealing no emotional fluctuations, while the Demon Ancestor Rahu had a smile on his lips, as if he was determined to succeed.
Many great figures, including the Celestial Venerable of Morality, the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, the Master of Heaven, Nuwa, the Guide of the Daoist, the Cundi Daoist, the Ancestor Xuanwu, and the Black Crow of Chaos, also waited patiently.
This primordial river of chaos is always stirring, revealing the profound power of the great god Pangu!
The reason they didn't forcibly overturn the Primordial River of Chaos and seize creation was because they were worried that they might infringe on the great god Pangu's backup plan, causing them to be squeezed out of the land of creation. Even if they were invincible in supernatural powers, they would still have a chance to force their way in later. However, if they lost the initiative, they would have no chance to obtain the knowledge that transcended the path of sainthood.
This is something that the Primordial Saints absolutely cannot accept!
On the contrary, it's just a matter of time; there's plenty of time for eternal life, and we have plenty of patience to wait!
"Yang Jian, do whatever you want to do, don't worry about anything," said Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Master, your disciple actually..."
Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand to stop Yang Jian from speaking, saying, "There's no need to tell us. If you speak out, even with my cover, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others and make them wary."
"Yes." Yang Jian hadn't expected his plan to escape Yuanshi Tianzun's notice, but the fact that Yuanshi Tianzun hadn't interfered already showed Yuanshi Tianzun's attitude, and now it was just confirmed.
He didn't even think about vying for the transcendent knowledge of the great god Pangu. He was only a weak sage, far from reaching that level. How to become a sage was the most urgent task for him.
He also longed to change the Heavenly Laws, to stop suppressing people's emotions, and to give more humane space!
Guang Chengzi, Yun Zhongzi, and Yu Ding Zhenren were all standing to the side, laughing as they said, "Do you need our help to defeat your nephew? That kid Chen Xiang is not weak now. He has a second-class spiritual treasure in his hand, and who knows when the Lotus Lantern will appear. His strength should not be underestimated."
Yang Jian calmly replied, "Since I have a plan, I will not allow things to go astray."
Master Yu Ding nodded, knowing Yang Jian's excellence, but still gave him a word of advice, telling him to be careful.
Suddenly, the Primordial River of Chaos began to surge. Rivers formed by the convergence of various divine lights rose and fell, covering the sky. Even weak saints had to retreat and dare not approach!
Only the true Primordial beings were completely fearless, their holy might surging forth and forcing back the divine light.
"Then let's start fighting! There's no need to wait any longer. Anyway, the opportunity of the Primordial Origin River has nothing to do with us!" A demon god shouted and immediately attacked the weak saint in the distance.
Immediately, a chaotic battle broke out among the weak saints in the arena, and they began to fight each other.
"War!!!" People like Guang Chengzi, Yun Zhongzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Xuan Du Dafashi, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, Wuchao Zen Master, and others also engaged in battles with various demons and gods!
Whether it's old grudges or gains from the creation of the world, there's always a reason for war between them!
Even if some weak saints want to stay out of it, they will be targeted by others and have no choice but to take action in order to protect themselves.
"Boom..." In an instant, hundreds and thousands of weak saints clashed continuously, their supreme magical power collided, and the divine laws of the Great Dao and unparalleled divine abilities were also manifested, displaying immense power.
However, faced with the anomalies in the Primordial River of Chaos and the holy might of the True Primordial, no matter how many weak saints there were or how fiercely they fought, they were still lacking and not qualified to step into that river and intervene in higher-level conflicts!
"Erlang Shen, come and fight me!" Chenxiang roared from the side, wielding a replica of the Heaven-Opening Axe and unleashing the Dao intent of the Heaven-Splitting Palm, cleaving out a devastating blow that could destroy the heavens and the earth!
“Nephew, you’re still too hasty,” Yang Jian said calmly. With a flick of his wrist, he thrust out his three-pointed double-edged spear, almost slicing the replica of the Heaven-Opening Axe from Chen Xiang’s hand.
His three-pointed double-edged spear is a genuine first-class spiritual treasure!
This item is already a rare treasure, and he has broken through to the weak saint level for many years. Now he has come to the land of creation and has had many fortuitous encounters. In addition, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable has taken action... With all these factors combined, it would be strange if the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear did not get upgraded!
Even the counterfeit Kaitian Axe is inferior to it.
However, the replica of the Heaven-Opening Axe seemed to be stimulated, bursting forth with some strange power!
"Is it because this is the land of creation, the primordial river of chaos? It's like home ground, with a boost?" Yang Jian guessed, and felt relieved. The stronger his nephew Chenxiang was, the better.
Thus, Yang Jian suppressed Chenxiang, and no matter how unwilling Chenxiang was, he could not escape Yang Jian's magical energy.
Yang Jian was also observing other battlefields, waiting for an opportunity to act.
But then Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai joined hands to activate the Hetu Luoshu and the Time Treasure Box. The [Netherfire Heart Light] and [Ice Soul Divine Light] were also sublimating, and they struck the Chaos Giant Serpent together!
Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Tang Seng, Ji Gong, Duobao Daoren, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and others also used their own methods to fight against the demons and gods. The battle was fierce, and soon some of them were injured and their blood was splattered!
But no one backed down; they were all full of fighting spirit and did their best to fight against the formidable enemy!
"The Monkey King and the Star Lord Ketu..."
Yang Jian also discovered that Sun Wukong and Cao Ya's opponent was a powerful True Hunyuan!
"These two are as powerful as ever!" Yang Jian thought to himself.
At this moment, Cao Ya and the Chaos Swordfish were locked in battle once again, clashing with each other's energy.
"Lord Ketu, today I will surely kill you!" the Chaos Swordfish roared. As long as Lord Ketu lived, his humiliation would never be washed away, which was unbearable for the Chaos Demon God of the Holy Path!
"Whoosh." This swordfish, like a divine sword from the immortal realm, with its dazzling light, attacked Cao Ya.
Cao Ya employed various extraordinary systems, including the Void Realm Dao, and even the Xuanyuan Sword, which allowed him to hold off the Chaos Swordfish and prevent it from being instantly killed and defeated.
At the same time, Cao Ya also used the stone ears of the Immortal Stone Emperor to listen to various secrets, including the Great Dao flaws of the Chaos Swordfish!
Cao Ya was also shocked by the strangeness of this stone ear fungus.
Of course, the truly astonished ones were the surrounding sages, who witnessed firsthand how Ketu Star Lord, despite being a weak sage, single-handedly stopped the Chaos Swordfish of True Hunyuan...
This is far more impactful than any hearsay!
“Buzz…” Suddenly, the Primordial River of Chaos stirred again, with huge waves surging.
Immediately, the sages' attention was diverted only slightly to the battle of the weak sage, in order to prevent their disciples, descendants, and trusted generals from being in mortal danger!
Their main focus is still on the primordial river of chaos!
"Swoosh." Just then, a flash of axe light rose from the depths of the river.
“That is…” All the saints were shocked, as if they had seen an existence above the path of sainthood!
"As expected, the Heaven-Opening Axe, the genuine article, was not damaged. It even contained the final remnant of the Great God Pangu, and almost broke through the limit of a first-class spiritual treasure. It can be considered as half a step beyond!" the Demon Ancestor exclaimed.
Compared to the great god Pangu, even this demon ancestor is inferior.
"A rare treasure that is half a step above a first-class spiritual treasure... its power is comparable to that of a third-realm Primordial Chaos Treasure." Buddha Wutian sighed. This is only the weapon of the Great God Pangu. If the original Pangu were still alive... the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, and others would not need to compete. They would only need to submit to the Great God Pangu!
"Pangu is the greatest sage of all time! This Heaven-Opening Axe is also the strongest spiritual treasure in history!" said the Chaos Black Crow.
"It seems that beneath this great river, the thoughts of the Great God Pangu regarding transcending the path of sainthood, as well as his insights after trying it, are indeed preserved!" the Guide Daoist said slowly.
As soon as the words fell, the Primordial Chaos beings from all directions were eager to try, as if they wanted to fight against the Primordial River of Origin. They combined the power of all the saints to forcibly imprison the river, and then searched the heavens and the earth, not letting go of any drop of divine light and river water, wanting to have a complete grasp of all the changes, so as not to miss any important information.
The genuine Heaven-Opening Axe seemed to sense something as well, and its massive handle trembled violently.
Immediately, several streaks of light flew out from the long river and shone brightly at the top of the nine heavens!
All the eyes of the Primordial Saints were drawn to it.
Even giants like the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, the Moral Celestial Venerable, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Tongtian Sect Master, the Guide Daoist, the Tathagata Buddha, the Ancestor Xuanwu, the Chaos Black Crow, and the Great God Yangmei are no exception.
"【The Chaos Creation Seal】! 【The Great Divine Power of the Nine-Nine Primordial Evolution】!" the Great God Yangmei murmured.
That was the greatest legacy left to the primordial universe by the great god Pangu!
It also refers to the great god Pangu's exploration of the path beyond sainthood.
It is also the precious knowledge that the Primordial Saints have been dreaming of!
In comparison, the four first-class spiritual treasures that appeared simultaneously with the two methods were not valued much by the sages.
"Panhuang Blade! Panwang Sword! Pandi Spear! Panjun Cauldron!"
"Unfortunately, that Heaven-Opening Axe refused to acknowledge a master!"
After stimulating the Primordial River and releasing several relics of the Great God Pangu, the Heaven-Opening Axe floated on the river, rising and falling, neither interfering with the sages' struggle for the two methods nor affecting the ownership of the first-class spiritual treasure. It seemed to be watching coldly from the sidelines, completely indifferent.
