Although they were reprimanded by Tongtian Daoren, Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun did not show their displeasure.
Because the main characters this time are two Western religious leaders.
If Buddhism can't even appease Tongtian, how can it possibly spread eastward? That's just wishful thinking.
Therefore, the two of them looked at Zhunti Daoren, the second leader of the non-Buddhist sects.
Zhunti Daoist immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "Tongtian! If you act recklessly, you are simply unworthy of being called Pangu."
Besides, you are nothing but a person who destroyed a sect, yet you dare to criticize the two fellow Daoists. Where do you get such a big face?
"If I were you, I would have long since returned to my monastery, closed its gates, and remained there to reflect on why my sect was destroyed."
His words undoubtedly struck a nerve with Tongtian Daoren.
Originally, the Tongtian Sect Leader only came here to greet the saints and had no intention of showing off or engaging in a major conflict with them.
But now that Zhunti Daoist had brought up the matter of the destruction of the Jie Sect, he naturally couldn't hold back.
"Zhunti! You destroyed my Jie Sect that day, and I will definitely avenge this in the future."
"Just you wait. It won't be long before I destroy your great sect and let you experience what true suffering is."
Tongtian Daoist raised his Qingping Sword and pointed it at Zhunti Daoist. Because of his anger, his beard and hair flew wildly even though there was no wind on his face...
"Hmph! What a boastful tone. You may speak toughly, but you should be able to do what you say."
Zhunti Daoist smiled dismissively, clearly not taking Tongtian Jiaozhu's threat to heart.
"Fine! You think you can fool me into thinking I can't do it? Well then, just you wait and see!"
As the saying goes, "If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much." He uttered a harsh remark, turned around and left immediately, his heart filled with even more malice.
Buddhism spreading eastward?!
Keep dreaming!
Chanjiao! Renjiao! Buddhism!
One by one, we'll see!
Although he harbored intense murderous intent, he did not show it on his face, only becoming more somber.
However, how could the Daoist Zhunti let him leave so easily?
If we cannot subdue Tongtian today, what if he really causes trouble when Buddhism spreads eastward in the future!
There's no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief yourself...
"Tongtian! Don't run! If you don't give us an explanation today, we will never let this go!"
With a loud shout, the Taoist Zhunti picked up the Seven Treasures Tree and gave chase.
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader turned around abruptly and saw Zhunti Daoist charging towards him menacingly. His expression turned cold. "Zhunti! Do you really think this humble Daoist is afraid of you!"
"Fine! Since you're not afraid, then let's have a fight today!" Daoist Zhunti rushed to Tongtian Jiaozhu's side in a few steps.
"Then let's go!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader roared and swung his sword at the Zhunti Daoist.
The Taoist Zhunti used his Seven Treasures Tree to block the sword strike.
When the two magical artifacts used for proving one's enlightenment collided, they immediately sparked with countless rays of light.
The surrounding, quietly flowing chaotic energy suddenly exploded, and before it could completely transform into earth, fire, water, and wind, it was swept away by the aftershocks of the energy and instantly turned into nothingness...
The next instant, the two exerted their strength, and the Qingping Sword and the Seven Treasures Tree were locked in a stalemate for a moment before each took a step back.
Yuanshi and Taishang each emitted a beam of immortal light, dispelling the surging aftershocks.
The auspicious light surrounding the Guide Daoist dispelled the aftershocks. At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed, and a golden lotus of merit flew out, hovering above the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, releasing countless auspicious energies to protect that world.
Before the aftershocks could reach Hu Le, he swept his gaze over them, and the aftershocks vanished without a trace.
At this moment, the two religious leaders and saints were already locked in a fierce battle amidst the chaos.
One wielded the Qingping Sword, its blade gleaming brightly, while the other swayed the Seven Treasures Tree, emitting a dazzling radiance.
The other sages stood at a distance and watched.
Even the Guide Daoist did not participate.
Of course, this is also because Daoist Zhunti has not yet fallen into a disadvantageous position.
The two exchanged over a hundred moves in the blink of an eye, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Over the years, all the saints have been striving to reach the Dao Integration Realm, and their cultivation and supernatural powers have made considerable progress.
Seeing that he could not subdue Zhunti with the Qingping Sword alone, the Tongtian Sect Leader immediately summoned the Fishing Drum and unleashed ten thousand bolts of lightning towards Zhunti.
Zhunti Daoist reached out with his left hand and a blue lotus-colored flag appeared in his palm. He held it and waved it in the wind. The flag unfurled, and a golden and white relic rose from the flag, emitting auspicious light that protected him.
The lightning bolt had just struck down when it was struck by the auspicious light, causing it to scatter in all directions before being swallowed up by the surrounding chaotic air currents.
Zhunti Daoist dispelled the thunder, then pushed up his hair bun, and a cloud of auspiciousness about an acre appeared on his head. A figure with many arms and hands hovered above the cloud, each holding a magical weapon, and instantly enveloped Tongtian in it, attacking him wildly.
The Tongtian Sect Leader simply unleashed his sword technique, his body moving with the sword, transforming into a beam of sword light. After a series of clanging sounds, he finally managed to forcefully break free from the entanglement of the Dharma Image.
Then, with a leap, he rushed in front of Zhunti Daoist and, distracted, stabbed him.
Zhunti Daoist hurriedly raised the Seven Treasures Tree to meet the sword, and with a flash of light, he deflected it aside.
Both were sages and leaders of their respective sects. Although Tongtian Sect Leader was a direct descendant of Pangu and was stronger than Zhunti Daoist, the difference between them was not insurmountable and could not be easily manipulated by Tongtian Sect Leader.
Of course, if he had the Four Swords of Zhuxian in his hands, perhaps even Zhunti Daoist would be no match for him.
After all, the blessing a supreme innate treasure would bring to a sect leader or saint is simply too great...
Hu Le stood quietly in the chaos, his hands behind his back, his body radiating Daoist energy and surrounded by immortal light, watching the fierce battle between the two sides.
If he were to intervene, he could certainly stop them.
Unfortunately, this matter was ultimately none of his business; he had no reason to get involved, nor did he bother to.
However, he was also well aware that the situation for the Tongtian Cult Leader was likely to be very unfavorable.
Even if he defeated Zhunti Daoist, so what? Jieyin Daoist was still watching him closely.
Furthermore, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun might not be willing to see Tongtian Jiaozhu triumphant.
If things go wrong, the Tongtian Sect Leader might end up like he did during the Investiture of the Gods, being besieged by all the saints.
But who can be blamed for this? It's all because the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't handle being provoked.
Of course, Hu Le also understood Tongtian Jiaozhu. Judging from the situation, Zhunti Daoren had no intention of letting him go, so even if he didn't want to take action, he had no choice.
Furthermore, the Tongtian Sect Leader was like a drawn sword, possessing an unyielding character. If Zhunti Daoist were to back down now, he would no longer be the Tongtian Sect Leader…
The two fought for a long time, using one unexpected move after another. With every move they made, the power of the Heavenly Dao crisscrossed, and the surrounding chaos shattered one after another, turning into earth, fire, water and wind that raged.
At the heart of the earth, fire, water, and wind, as the two figures intersected, the four elements of primordial energy vanished into nothingness once more…
