In terms of strength, Sage Zhunti is quite formidable. Although he may be somewhat inferior to Yuanshi Tianzun, he is definitely not far behind.
However, in a real fight, Yuanshi Tianzun did not need to exert his full strength; he was able to steadily suppress Zhunti Daoist simply by relying on the powerful force of the Pangu Banner.
The two fought fiercely for more than ten rounds before Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly unleashed his ultimate move.
He raised the Pangu Banner high and unleashed several powerful bursts of chaotic sword energy.
These sword energies were as swift as lightning, carrying unparalleled power, and forcefully broke through the defenses of the Azure Lotus Banner.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Sage Zhunti sighed inwardly and had no choice but to summon the golden body Dharma image above his head.
Just then, a golden figure suddenly jumped down from above the head of the Sage Zhunti. Upon closer inspection, it was the golden body with many arms and heads.
It was seen that all eighteen of its arms were waving together, each holding a Buddhist ritual implement, tightly enveloping the Primordial Celestial Venerable within them, and then wildly and indiscriminately striking him.
Amidst the chaos, Yuanshi Tianzun swiftly summoned the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, and with a single step, he forcefully broke free from the golden body's restraints.
However, at this moment, the Sage of Guidance had already stepped into the center of the battlefield, and without hesitation, he unleashed the Blessed Pestle, smashing it fiercely towards the crown of the head of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
It turned out that when the Sage of Reception saw that the Sage of Zhunti was in a critical situation, he decided to help him and fight against the Primordial Heavenly Venerable together.
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly used his magic power again, summoning the Three Treasures Ruyi, and went to meet them.
With a loud clang, the two magical artifacts collided, producing a clear, melodious sound of metal striking metal.
The sound resounded all around, as if the entire world was trembling.
The boundless energy spread out like a raging storm, but before it could spread to the entire area, it was suppressed by the golden bridge formed by the Taiji diagram.
The two magical artifacts tumbled and rolled in mid-air, clashing together.
Each collision of theirs triggers a violent energy fluctuation, distorting the surrounding space.
At this moment, the Sage Zhunti seized the opportunity, immediately withdrew his golden body, and joined the battle without hesitation.
They fought side by side with the Sage of Guidance, launching a fierce siege against the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
The three saints, who were at the level of religious leaders, clashed on the battlefield, creating an exceptionally spectacular and awe-inspiring scene.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable held a large banner, with auspicious golden lanterns shining above his head. His whole body was enveloped in a peaceful light, and countless blue lotus petals were scattered around him.
He moved with agility and swiftness, weaving freely between his two opponents, and each swing of the Pangu Banner unleashed powerful chaotic sword energy.
The sword energy crisscrossed, its power astonishing.
The guide was draped in boundless auspicious light, stood on a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit, and was surrounded by dazzling golden light.
He also held a lotus flower in his hand, skillfully deflecting the sharp sword energy, but always maintained a defensive posture and did not take the initiative to attack.
In contrast, the Sage Zhunti appeared aggressive, completely abandoning his defense.
He tightly wrapped the Azure Lotus Banner around his body, and auspicious clouds surrounded him.
Wielding a Seven Treasures Tree, he launched attacks on Yuanshi Tianzun like a whirlwind, each move aimed directly at Yuanshi's vital points, making onlookers tremble with fear.
The two sage leaders were of one mind and cooperated perfectly, able to attack or defend as they pleased. For a time, even the Primordial Heavenly Lord, wielding the Pangu Banner, a supreme innate treasure, could not break their combined momentum.
As the battle continued, Yuanshi Tianzun's situation gradually became somewhat difficult.
It should be noted that if it weren't for the immense power of the Primordial Treasure, it would have been extremely difficult for him, as a Primordial Saint, to fight against two people on his own.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable, Laozi, who was standing on the sidelines, could not bear to see Yuanshi Tianzun defeated. So he pulled on the reins, rode his green ox, and jumped into the battlefield.
"Brother, don't panic, I'm here to lend you a hand!"
Before he finished speaking, he reached out and pushed up the fishtail crown on his head. Instantly, a towering Xuanhuang pagoda, tens of thousands of feet tall, appeared above his head, and Xuanhuang energy poured down like a waterfall.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out and gently grabbed at the air, and the white jade bridge that had been hanging high in the sky instantly transformed into a Tai Chi diagram and fell into his hand.
When the two Western religious leaders and saints saw that Laozi had also joined the battle, their expressions changed drastically!
Especially the Sage Zhunti, who hurriedly broke free and rushed towards Laozi.
He moved with lightning speed, arriving before Laozi in the blink of an eye, and the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand swept mercilessly towards Laozi.
Clearly, they wanted to sweep Laozi off the back of that green ox!
However, Laozi simply smiled and with a gentle flick of his cane, easily pushed the Seven Treasures Tree aside.
Upon seeing this, the Sage Zhunti was secretly alarmed, but he did not slow down at all. He turned around and quickly moved to the other side of Laozi.
He swung the Seven Treasures Tree in his hand fiercely at Laozi once again!
This time, Laozi remained calm and composed, gently waving his cane once again accurately blocking the Seven Treasures Tree...
And so, the two went back and forth, and for a time it was impossible to determine a winner!
At the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression relaxed. He gripped the Pangu Banner tightly in his hand, moving freely in and out, and launched an attack around the Sage of Reception.
The chaotic sword energy swept over, instantly engulfing the Saint of Guidance, like a huge vortex, constantly squeezing and twisting his body.
Meanwhile, those incomparably sharp chaotic sword energies coiled around his body like venomous snakes, peeling away and devouring the golden light of merit surrounding him layer by layer.
If it weren't for the twelfth-grade golden lotus of merit beneath his feet, a supreme treasure with unparalleled defensive power that continuously released golden light of merit, the Sage of Guidance would probably have already been engulfed by the chaotic sword energy and pulverized into countless dust particles...
Above Laozi's head, the Xuanhuang Pagoda was rotating slightly, sprinkling wisps of Xuanhuang energy, which stabilized the entire battlefield.
Whenever the aftershocks of the four sages' battle were about to spread, these primordial energies would swiftly descend and dissolve them into nothingness.
The four fought for dozens more rounds, and the outcome of the battle seemed to be gradually becoming clear.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable completely suppressed the Sage of Reception, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.
That's nothing.
After all, although the Sage of Guidance has great spiritual power, he is not good at fighting with others. It is already quite good that he can protect himself for the time being.
On the contrary, the Sage Zhunti, facing the overwhelming onslaught of Laozi, quickly became somewhat flustered...
