Faced with the primordial sword light that shot towards him like lightning, Daoist Yingxu felt a chill in his heart, knowing that its power should not be underestimated.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, his mind raced. The twenty-fourth-grade azure lotus platform beneath his feet seemed to possess a spirit, and it floated up lightly, like a streak of azure light, directly meeting the fierce and deadly attack.
It should be understood that this Primordial Sword Qi is no ordinary sword qi; it is a supreme sword born when the Primordial Chaos was created and the chaos was separated.
Once this sword is drawn, it can create all things and destroy the universe, possessing unparalleled and terrifying power.
However, the lotus platform of the Daoist Yingxu was no ordinary object.
Back in the day, when a universe had not yet been created and was still in the primordial chaos, a spark of inspiration was fortunate enough to be nourished and nurtured by the Great Dao, eventually transforming into this mysterious and unpredictable Twenty-Four Lotus Platform.
This is a top-tier Primordial Treasure, a peerless treasure that ranks among the best even in the vast and boundless Primordial Universe.
It is especially effective for self-protection, with amazing effects beyond imagination.
A deafening roar resounded through the heavens and shook the primordial chaos.
The incomparably sharp Primordial Sword Qi mercilessly slashed down on the Twenty-Fourth Grade Azure Lotus Platform.
In an instant, the void seemed to be torn into countless fragments, and the entire formation began to tremble violently. Unfathomable spatial rifts spread rapidly like a spider web.
The Azure Lotus, like a peerless fairy flower blooming in the chaos, began to spin wildly at an unimaginable speed in the face of the terrifying and indestructible strangulation power of the Primordial Sword Qi!
Each rotation brought with it a dazzling burst of light and a whooshing sound.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate for several breaths.
Suddenly, the situation changed drastically. The originally fierce and incomparable Primordial Sword Qi finally began to show signs of fatigue, and its power gradually weakened. Finally, with a crisp "crack", the entire sword qi completely shattered!
At the same time, the giant sword seemed to have its soul ripped out, instantly disintegrating into countless tiny fragments that scattered around like a meteor shower.
These fragments gleamed coldly in the air before quickly reassembling into thousands upon thousands of divine swords of various shapes and sizes.
However, before the changes had completely subsided, Daoist Yingxu had already made his move.
His face was ashen, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a dazzling divine lightning bolt suddenly emerged from the endless void!
This divine lightning bolt, like a roaring dragon, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, thunderously pounced towards the Taoist priest on the altar.
Faced with such a sudden and terrifying attack, the Taoist was greatly alarmed. However, he was, after all, a master who had cultivated for many years, and his reaction was extremely quick.
At this critical moment, the Taoist did not hesitate to use his life-saving technique, suddenly dispersing his primordial spirit into a clear and transparent ray of light, which disappeared into the depths of the void in the blink of an eye.
The fierce divine lightning bolt missed its target, but its momentum remained undiminished, still slamming into the altar with immense force.
A deafening roar resounded, causing the entire altar to tremble violently. The runes and restrictions inscribed upon it flashed with blinding light, attempting to withstand the violent impact of the lightning.
Unfortunately, the power of this divine lightning was simply too great; with just one strike, the seemingly invincible altar could no longer withstand it.
Under the relentless onslaught of countless bolts of lightning, the towering altar was instantly shattered into dust, turning into a cloud of smoke and dust.
With the destruction of the altar, the grand formation originally built upon it lost its support and reliance, becoming as fragile as a spider web, crumbling and falling apart in an instant.
Outside the great formation, Hu Le stood quietly atop a swirling, turbulent mass of chaotic energy.
This chaotic energy seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly impacting and cleansing his body.
Under the influence of this powerful force, Hu Le's body rose and fell slowly, flickering like a candle flame in the wind.
Just then, Hu Le suddenly noticed that fine cracks were beginning to appear in the space of the great array in front of him.
These cracks were initially as thin as hair, but they spread rapidly in the blink of an eye, eventually causing the entire array space to collapse and completely break open a huge gap.
Faced with this situation, Hu Le couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sigh softly, "Alas, this fellow Daoist is probably doomed!" His words revealed a hint of regret.
After a soft sigh, a glint of light flashed in Hu Le's eyes, as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
He stared intently at the shattered void billions of miles away, trying to find some clues within it.
His gaze darted around quickly, and in just a moment, it was firmly fixed on the figure of Daoist Yingxu in the distance.
At this moment, Daoist Yingxu had successfully retrieved the twenty-fourth-grade green lotus.
As the blue lotus bloomed with dazzling light, a powerful energy instantly spread out, forcefully stopping the surrounding void that was constantly collapsing and shattering.
At the same time, Daoist Yingxu raised his hand without hesitation and gently pointed a finger towards a place thousands of miles away.
In an instant, a loud bang was heard, and a section of spacetime there shattered.
Immediately afterwards, a weakened primordial spirit was forced to appear in a disheveled state from that shattered void.
"Fellow Daoist! Quickly hand over that treasure, and I will spare your life out of consideration for your arduous cultivation!"
The Daoist Yingxu's expression was calm as still water, and his words came out as if he were merely stating a trivial matter, but the invisible pressure he exuded sent chills down one's spine.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist's primordial spirit, which had been threatened by Yingxu, felt a surge of resentment welling up in its heart.
He glared angrily at Yingxu Daoist, his eyes wide with fury, and said through gritted teeth, "I have cultivated for many years and have never done anything unjust. Yet today I have been coerced and tempted by a villain like you!"
Judging from your cultivation level, you should be considered a senior figure in this world. You should be highly respected and admired by others. How could you do such a despicable thing as bullying the weak and killing to steal treasures?
If this matter gets out, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by your fellow practitioners?
Faced with the Taoist's angry rebuke and questioning, the Taoist Yingxu remained completely unconcerned.
He chuckled softly, a look of disdain on his face, and slowly replied, "Hehe...you fellow Daoist, you are truly naive!"
People like us have long since transcended the emotional entanglements of the world. Fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds to us.
How others perceive me can hardly affect my state of mind.
As for the morality and principles you mentioned, they are utterly worthless in the face of absolute power!
"If you know what's good for you, hand over that treasure right now, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
