Seeing Hu Le challenge him to a duel, how could Hongjun Daoist refuse? He swept his bamboo staff in front of him, breaking through space and stepping inside.
The next instant, he appeared in the primordial chaos beyond the heavens.
"Let's go too."
Hu Le also tore through space with his bamboo staff and chased after the chaos...
Soon, all the saints appeared in the chaos and surrounded Hongjun Daoist.
Hongjun Daoist said no more. He pushed aside the crown on his head, revealing a cloud of auspicious clouds covering an acre. On the cloud stood a Primordial Treasure Tree, which hung down in wisps of purple energy and attracted strands of Primordial Dao power.
At this moment, a magnificent pagoda of heaven and earth, shrouded in primordial chaos, appeared above Laozi's head. His body was surrounded by primordial chaos energy, and he held a Taiji diagram in his left hand, which was unfurled and emitted countless rays of light, illuminating the entire chaos.
Ten thousand golden lamps rose above the head of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, their dazzling divine light illuminating the chaos, while the Pangu Banner in his hand exuded boundless sharpness.
The Tongtian Sect Leader also revealed his Three Flowers and Five Qi, and the cold light on the Qingping Sword in his hand twisted the surrounding chaos into nothingness.
The guide was also on high alert. Not only did a golden relic rise above his head, emitting auspicious light, but he also held a blessed pestle in his hand.
Zhunti Daoist held the Azure Lotus Banner in one hand and the Seven Treasures Tree in the other, staring intently at Hongjun Daoist, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
At this moment, the Goddess Nuwa also summoned the Map of Mountains and Rivers, which released clusters of radiant light under the wash of auspicious clouds, and a long whip appeared in her palm.
Facing Hongjun Daoist, Hu Le could not be careless. He had already placed the Hongmeng Bell above his head, and a waterfall of primordial purple energy descended to protect himself.
Surrounded by the saints, Hongjun Daoist remained calm, his empty gaze sweeping over them.
Finally, when he saw the Primordial Bell above Hu Le's head, his gaze sharpened slightly.
Isn't this the Chaos Bell from long ago?
How did it become like this?
Hongjun Daoist frowned slightly. In the darkness, he could already sense an aura unique to the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos from the Primordial Bell...
"Master! Your disciple has come again to learn from your extraordinary abilities!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader was the first to make a move, taking a step forward and closing in on Hongjun Daoist, thrusting his sword forward.
As soon as he made his move, the other sages also joined in, launching attacks from all directions towards Hongjun Daoist.
The Primordial Tree above Hongjun Daoist's head swayed slightly, and the descending purple aura surged towards everyone like a tide.
The magical weapons wielded by the group were instantly struck by the purple aura, as if they had sunk into a quagmire, and their attacks were halted.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hongjun Daoist launched a counterattack. He turned around and instantly broke free from the crowd's encirclement, then appeared behind Tongtian Jiaozhu. He raised his bamboo staff and pointed it at the back of Tongtian Jiaozhu's head.
Before the Tongtian Sect Leader could turn around, he dodged to the side and raised the Qingping Sword in his other hand to block the staff.
At this moment, the Hongmeng Bell above Hu Le's head swayed slightly, making a clanging sound, which immediately scattered the purple energy released by the Hongmeng Treasure Tree.
The saints were able to break free from the purple aura and continue their attack on Hongjun Daoist.
This was chaos, and they were not afraid of the saints wantonly destroying it. So they simply let loose and launched a fierce attack on Hongjun Daoist.
Although Hongjun Daoist was fighting seven against one, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position due to his own cultivation level and the power of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree.
Hongjun Daoist relied on the power of the Primordial Dao that the Primordial Tree had drawn upon, and poured it into his bamboo staff, merging it with the power of the Heavenly Dao that he possessed. Every move and every action contained the power to create the world and destroy chaos.
At the beginning, it was a group of seven people working together to attack, but after a series of battles, saints such as Zhunti Daoist or Nuwa Niangniang unknowingly became assistants.
Only Laozi and Hu Le remained at the forefront as the main force.
Hu Le possesses the Primordial Bell, which allows him to mobilize some of the power of the Primordial Dao. When he contends with Hongjun Daoist, he can barely hold his own.
With the Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram as his two supreme treasures, Laozi was able to temporarily protect himself and assist Hu Le in withstanding most of Hongjun Daoist's attacks.
Even the remaining sages and leaders, including Yuanshi Tianzun wielding the Pangu Banner, could not become the main force against Hongjun Daoren at this moment. They could only release streams of chaotic sword energy to restrain him from the sidelines.
The saints were now locked in a fierce battle, and even Hongjun Daoist was now disheveled, his hair and beard flying, his face contorted with rage, unable to maintain his usual indifference.
Amidst the tumbling and rolling, the group fought relentlessly.
Five-colored rays illuminated the chaos, and seven-colored clouds rose and swirled, with bursts of energy spreading out, constantly annihilating the surrounding chaotic energy, turning everything into utter nothingness.
In the blink of an eye, they had been besieged for dozens of rounds, but the saints were still unable to defeat Hongjun Daoist.
Hu Le also knew where the key was; that Hongjun Daoist had merely used the Hongmeng Treasure Tree to draw upon the power of the Hongmeng Great Dao.
This is exactly the same as when he used the power of the Primordial Bell.
To defeat Hongjun Daoren, one must first sever the connection between Hongjun Daoren and the Primordial Dao.
After all, with Hongjun Daoist's current level of cultivation, he was still unable to draw upon the power of the Great Dao from the darkness on his own.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took a step back, and the Primordial Bell hanging above his head, wrapped in a ball of primordial purple energy, spun and crashed into the Primordial Treasure Tree on the auspicious cloud of Daoist Hongjun.
After their previous encounter, Daoist Hongjun had come to understand some of the secrets of the Primordial Bell.
Although he didn't know what method Hu Le used to upgrade the Chaos Bell's grade and make it a Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
In any case, such a treasure should not be taken lightly...
However, although Hongjun Daoren was full of vigilance, the two sides were really too close, and the speed at which the Hongmeng Bell flew was extremely fast, giving him no chance to dodge at all.
With a loud bang.
The Primordial Bell had already struck the Primordial Tree with tremendous force.
Splash...
Suddenly, the precious tree trembled violently, and countless leaves fell down in a rustling sound. The purple aura hanging from the precious tree also scattered outwards.
Obviously.
The power of the Hongmeng Bell's strike was extraordinary, causing considerable damage to the Hongmeng Treasure Tree.
That makes sense. While the Primordial Tree is indeed a decent Primordial Spiritual Root, it is at best comparable to an ordinary Primordial Spiritual Treasure.
How can it compare to the Primordial Treasure, the Primordial Bell, which possesses boundless potential?
In other words, the innate primordial divine restriction within the Primordial Bell has not yet been fully developed, and the Primordial Bell is not yet complete.
Otherwise, this single strike would have shattered the Primordial Tree to pieces...
Seeing this, the other religious leaders and saints seemed to have seen an advantage.
The Pangu Banner in Yuanshi Tianzun's hand trembled, releasing a chaotic sword aura that slashed towards Hongjun Daoren.
The Master of Heaven also swung his sword down fiercely.
Zhunti Daoist stirred the Seven Treasures Tree behind Hongjun Daoist.
The Guide then threw out the blessed pestle.
Nuwa wielded her long whip and swept it towards Hongjun.
At the same time, Laozi also summoned the Taiji Diagram to wrap around the Primordial Tree...
