Dao Xing Tianzun followed Ma Yuanwang Zunfo, but upon landing, he immediately saw Hu Le sitting under a pine tree.
He was startled and quickly stepped forward to bow.
"This disciple has paid homage to the Holy Master."
Hu Le nodded slightly, then looked at the Immortal-Slaying Sword in Dao Xing's hand.
Without Hu Le needing to speak, Dao Xing immediately understood, remembering that his senior brothers had already returned the other four swords.
He had long sensed that the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand wouldn't last much longer.
He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and carefully held up the Immortal-Slaying Sword with both hands. A smile appeared on his face as he said softly, "Master, please hear what your disciple has to say."
The connection between this sword and me has come to an end. I have long wished to return it to my Uncle Tongtian.
"Today's encounter with the Master is truly a matter of fate. I take this opportunity to respectfully present this sword to the Master, and humbly request that the Master convey my regards to my Uncle Tian."
Hu Le was quite satisfied with Dao Xing's sensible manner.
It seems that not all of these disciples of the Chan Sect were stubborn and inflexible.
He raised his arm slightly and beckoned to the Immortal-Slaying Sword. The sword seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, flying into the air and landing steadily in his hand.
At this moment, Ma Yuanzun Wang Fo had struggled to climb out of the pit, and his gaze fell on the two people in front of him, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes...
Originally, he was a disciple of the Jie Sect, but his fate was full of twists and turns. Later, he was subdued by the Sage Zhunti and resolutely devoted himself to Buddhism, becoming one of the earliest disciples of the Jie Sect to submit to Buddhism.
Perhaps to set an example for later disciples of the Jie Sect, or perhaps because they valued his extraordinary methods and abilities, the two sages were willing to give up an invaluable position as Buddha to bestow upon him.
Over the years, his life in Buddhism has been thriving, and he has long since completely forgotten his former sect, the Jie Sect.
However, things are unpredictable, and this terrible catastrophe has finally arrived.
Despite his revered status in Buddhism, he was ruthlessly sidelined by the two religious leaders at this critical moment, becoming cannon fodder to suffer the calamity.
Ma Yuanzun Wang Fo understood perfectly well that it was not surprising for Buddhist saints to do this.
After all, unlike disciples such as Maitreya and Ksitigarbha, they had already become disciples of two saints before even entering the path.
Since he wasn't a direct disciple, it's reasonable for him to be thrown away as ashes.
He took a deep breath, and his magical power gathered again. Without hesitation, he instantly transformed into a streak of light and sped away.
"hehe......"
Dao Xing Tianzun chuckled softly upon seeing this scene.
He had been keeping an eye on Ma Yuanzun Wang Fo the whole time. After seeing that the other party had already escaped more than a hundred miles away, he took out a magic sword from his sleeve and casually tossed it away.
The sword light flashed past like a meteor, its speed astonishing!
In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the fleeing Ma Yuanzun Buddha.
This Ma Yuanzun Buddha had already suffered a severe injury from the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and then was struck hard by the Demon-Subduing Pestle that fell from the sky, so his injuries were already quite serious.
He tried his best to escape, but he could only barely muster a trace of magic power.
Faced with such a fierce sword strike, he was completely unable to defend himself. His chest was instantly pierced, and he screamed in agony before falling from mid-air like a bird with broken wings.
Before he even hit the ground, he hurriedly used magic to escape from his primordial spirit.
However, just as his primordial spirit left his body, the sword light struck again. In a panic, Ma Yuanzun Wang Fo raised a huge palm that shone with golden light and grabbed the magic sword at the last moment.
The magic sword trembled violently, struggling left and right as if trying to break free of its restraints, but in the end it was firmly held by the golden hand and could not escape.
Seeing this, Dao Xing couldn't help but snort coldly, and without hesitation raised his hand to unleash a Jade Purity Divine Thunder.
"ah……"
The divine lightning struck the primordial spirit of Ma Yuanzun Wang Fo, causing it to explode with a deafening roar. The true fire of thunder surged and boiled, like a raging furnace capable of burning and refining everything.
His primordial spirit was inside, and it instantly vaporized visibly, his screams echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
A moment later, the cries stopped abruptly.
Ma Yuanzun Wang Fo's primordial spirit had already turned to ashes and vanished, leaving only a wisp of true spirit which was sent to the Investiture of the Gods.
Upon seeing this, Dao Xing Tianzun withdrew his magic sword.
"Master! If you have no further instructions, then please excuse me and take my leave."
He carefully bowed to Hu Le and tentatively asked a question.
Hu Le nodded slightly. "You may go now."
He came here only to retrieve the Immortal-Slaying Sword on behalf of the Tongtian Sect Leader, and had no intention of doing anything to Daoxing Tianzun.
After all, Dao Xing Tianzun's fate was not yet exhausted, and it was not yet time for him to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods...
Hu Le let Dao Xing Tianzun leave, then got up, mounted the ox's back, and immediately urged his mount to fly straight towards the East Sea.
On this day, they arrived at the end of the land, where a shimmering expanse of water appeared before them, where the sky and water merged into one.
The white ox took a few steps and arrived at the sea. Immediately, clouds rose from its hooves, and it walked on the waves.
Not long after, he finally arrived outside Jin'ao Island.
At this time, although it was in the midst of a great calamity, there was still no smoke or fire on Jin'ao Island, presenting a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
He had just arrived outside the island when the Tongtian Sect Leader ordered the Water and Fire Boys to come and greet him.
Soon, guided by the boy, Hu Le finally entered Biyou Palace.
At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader was preaching Taoist doctrines to his disciples in the hall.
Upon seeing Hu Le arrive, he immediately ended his sermon and rose to greet him.
The disciples of the Jie Sect also knelt down to greet Hu Le.
After the immortals paid their respects, the Tongtian Sect Leader waved for them to leave and then invited Hu Le to sit on the cloud platform.
Immediately, a boy offered the celestial dew.
Hu Le took a sip, then set the jade cup aside and took out two immortal swords from his sleeve.
"This treasure is just right to be returned to you, fellow Daoist."
The Master of the Heavens pointed, and the immortal sword immediately rose from Hu Le's hand.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
After thanking him, the Tongtian Sect Leader reached out and instantly took the immortal sword into his hand.
The next instant, a cloud of ethereal light rose behind his head.
A scroll of array diagrams hung in mid-air, rising and falling under the wash of celestial light.
At the four corners of that array, two innate swords stood suspended, each emitting bursts of innate killing intent as it vibrated.
The Tongtian Sect Leader gently tossed the two immortal swords in his hands. With a flash of light, the swords disappeared into the depths of the immortal light and automatically hovered above the two missing corners of the array diagram.
The four immortal swords were restored to their perfect state, and a sword cry rang out in unison.
The killing intent between heaven and earth instantly converged, and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram was quickly shrouded in a primordial killing aura, becoming increasingly hazy.
Thus, the four swords of Zhuxian finally reunited today, millions of years later.
The Master of Heaven was extremely satisfied.
Now, we can finally go all out and get things done...
