After the Sage finished speaking, the Sage Chongying couldn't help but spit out a curse, a hint of disdain and anger flashing in his eyes.
Hmph, that old man is truly shameless!
If I were the victor in the last massacre, I could speak easily to the other party today.
But unfortunately, it was he who was humiliated and had his great sect destroyed back then!
Then, he said impatiently, "Alright! Enough with the nonsense, what exactly do you want to do here?"
The Sage immediately pointed to the old ox and introduced it to the Sage Chongying: "Hehe... Fellow Daoist, listen carefully. I have already discussed with you all and we are preparing to let this Fellow Daoist Ox succeed Li Daozhi and assume the position of Heavenly Emperor. I have come here today to inform you of this matter."
After hearing this, the Sage Chongying looked the old ox up and down, then suddenly sneered: "Old man, you're really getting worse with age. To think that such a creature with fur and horns could become the Heavenly Emperor is utterly absurd."
Do you think that the Heavenly Court is your family's private school? That you can just arbitrarily pass on the position of Heavenly Emperor?
I'll tell you the truth today, his dream of becoming the Heavenly Emperor is simply a pipe dream, I don't agree!
The Sage had long anticipated that the Sage of Chongying would not easily agree to the request, so he was not surprised by the Sage of Chongying's reaction.
So he calmly said, "It seems that you have misunderstood me."
I've come here not to ask for your opinion, but simply to let you know.
Now that I have informed you, whether you agree or not, the throne of the Heavenly Emperor will surely belong to this Fellow Daoist Niu.
After saying this, the sage smiled and nodded to the old ox, and said loudly, "Let's go."
Then, he turned around and prepared to leave with the old ox.
However, when Chongying Sage saw them about to leave, he was furious and shouted at Zhongshi Sage, "You Zhongshi! You've gone too far! Let me tell you the truth, as long as I live, I will never let you succeed!"
Upon hearing this, the Sage turned around, gave Chongying a cold look, and then replied calmly, "In that case, let's wait and see!"
After he finished speaking, he urged the auspicious cloud beneath him to speed up and leave.
However, at that moment, the Sage Chongying suddenly appeared in front of the two, blocking their path.
“Old man, you can leave if you want. But leave this beast behind. Since he wants to take the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, let me first assess his abilities and see where he gets the audacity to covet the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.”
Sage Chongying addressed the two, and a precious sword appeared in his hand at some unknown time; it was the very artifact he used to prove his Dao.
Upon hearing this, the Sage frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? Do you perhaps wish to spar with me a few more times?"
Sage Chongying naturally wouldn't back down, "Hmph! It's not that you can't think that way!"
He had suffered a crushing defeat in the last raid and had been holding a grudge ever since, always looking for an opportunity to get his revenge.
However, even if a sage were to take action, he would still need a reasonable excuse outside of a great calamity.
Therefore, he has not found a suitable opportunity all these years.
Today, this sage has actually come to his doorstep, so of course he won't stand on ceremony with him.
"Hmph, very well. I didn't get to fully enjoy the last battle. Now that we meet again, I can finally kill you, old man..."
After the sage finished speaking, he grabbed with his right hand and suddenly a whisk appeared in his hand. Then he gently pushed the old ox with his left hand, instantly sending him thousands of miles away.
"Old man, take this sword!"
With a cold shout, the Sage Chongying flashed and rushed in front of the Sage Zhongshi in the blink of an eye. He flicked his sword and thrust it straight at the Sage Zhongshi's heart.
"Good timing!"
The sage simply waved his whisk and easily deflected the sword.
Upon seeing this, the Sage Chongying unleashed another sword strike, still aimed directly at the Sage Zhongshi's vital point. The Sage Zhongshi once again swung his whisk to parry.
The two sages immediately began to fight.
They had fought several times before and knew each other's methods and abilities quite well, so it was difficult to determine who was superior for the time being.
After fighting for dozens of rounds, the two revealed their auspicious clouds and spiritual treasures.
Above the sage's head was auspicious cloud, and above the cloud hung a supreme innate treasure, the Great Millstone of Ending, surrounded by an aura of destruction.
The moment this treasure appeared, countless miles of space and time fell into a deathly silence, as if all things were about to perish.
As soon as the Sage had a thought, the Great Millstone of Ending Power flew out and crashed down on Sage Chongying with a thunderous roar.
As the Holy Sage Chongying's mind raced, a precious map suddenly rose above the auspicious clouds. As the map unfurled, it radiated countless innate divine lights, heading towards the final great grinding stone.
This scroll of treasure is called the Heavenly Dao Admonition Scroll. It is the treasure of the Sage Chongying who attained enlightenment. It was created innately and contains the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. The rules of creation are naturally formed, and endless mysteries and power flow within the scroll.
Although it is only a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, its profound mystery is no less than that of those supreme innate treasures.
The Great Millstone and the Dao Diagram collided, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire void.
The two magical treasures, each enveloped in a ball of light, collided with each other. They remained locked in a stalemate, exchanging blows and tumbling over each other, neither willing to give way.
Below Lingbao, the figures of two sages intertwined, their swords and whisks clashing repeatedly, locked in another fierce battle.
After several more rounds, the sage feinted an attack and then retreated a few steps. Suddenly, a wisp of pure energy flew out from the auspicious clouds, soaring through the air and disappearing into the Great Millstone of Ending.
With this energy empowering it, the Great Millstone of Ending trembled violently, unleashing billions of rays of destructive divine light, like a dazzling star, its radiance so intense that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Its power surged instantly, as if it had taken a powerful tonic. With the final millstone crashing down, a powerful energy wave swept over, forming a huge shockwave that shattered the surrounding space, turning it into a landscape of earth, fire, water, and wind.
Although the scroll of Heavenly Dao Admonitions was all-encompassing and contained the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, it was ultimately not a treasure specifically used for killing. Faced with such a fierce attack from the Ending Millstone, it seemed somewhat powerless.
The Great Millstone easily sent the Heavenly Dao Diagram flying, removing its restraint and threat.
Then, the Great Millstone, with its overwhelming momentum and a destructive aura, hurtled towards the Sage Chongying like a shooting star.
At this moment, the Sage Chongying was tightly entangled by the Sage Zhongshi and could not break free.
He kept waving his sword, trying to block the Saint's attack.
He had no time to dodge as the millstone came crashing down.
In the rush, Sage Chongying tried his best to dodge, but was still hit on the back by the Ending Millstone.
A sharp pain shot through him, causing him to let out a muffled groan and stagger forward...
