Hu Le summoned the Chaos Bell to dissipate the aftershocks of the battle, and Laozi also summoned the Taiji Diagram. Under its radiant light, all the aftershocks vanished into nothingness.
In the distance, the four fought for hundreds of rounds, churning the surrounding chaos into utter turmoil.
They were all newly ascended to the Primordial Chaos stage, and this was their first time making a move after becoming saints. At the beginning, their use of the power of the Heavenly Dao was still quite clumsy.
But soon after they started fighting, they gradually became familiar with the sage's supernatural powers.
With every gesture, the power of the Heavenly Dao clashed, and the artifacts used for proving the Dao collided, shattering the chaos continuously.
The situation was alright for the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Guide Daoist. The Guide Daoist was not good at attacking, so he simply used the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to protect himself.
However, the clash between Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhunti Daoren was far too intense. Every time their magical artifacts collided, the aftershocks would spread out, scattering chaos and reaching boundless horizons.
In the blink of an eye, the four sages raised auspicious clouds, each with a spiritual treasure suspended above them.
The golden clouds and golden lamps above the head of the Primordial Celestial Venerable shone with boundless light, and golden flowers fell from the sky.
Above the head of the Tongtian Sect Leader hung a magical treasure called the Fishing Drum, which, when it vibrated, unleashed bolts of lightning.
A golden image of the Daoist Zhunti hangs above his head, each of his ritual implements radiating rays of light.
Above the guiding Daoist, three round, golden relics floated. Washed by the cloud light, the relics rose and fell continuously, emitting billions of feet of golden light and cascading down auspicious rays and auspicious energy...
The four sages each displayed their supernatural powers, engaging in a fierce battle amidst the chaos.
As each side unleashed their magical treasures, the situation gradually changed.
The previously evenly matched situation gradually turned into one side gaining the upper hand.
It's a pity about the two Western religious leaders.
Their supernatural powers were inferior to those of the two Pangus on the other side.
However, relying solely on their own Taoist arts and supernatural powers, it wouldn't be so easy for Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu to defeat those two.
However, these two sages of the Xuanmen sect possessed too many blessings from Pangu, and each of them wielded a supreme innate treasure.
While the strength of the contest between sages is certainly important, the role of spiritual treasures is still crucial.
Compared to Yuanshi Tianzun and others, Jieyin and Zhunti Daoren, although also leaders and saints, were not destined to wield innate treasures.
The highest-grade and most mysterious spiritual treasure in their possession was the Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit.
Although this treasure is one of the top defensive spiritual treasures in the primordial world, it is ultimately inferior to those supreme treasures. Compared with the Xuanhuang Pagoda in the hands of Laozi and the Merit Cloud of Hu Le, this Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus is far inferior.
At the very least, it cannot be like those two acquired treasures of merit, which can stand above one's head and be invincible from the start.
Therefore, when the two sages of the Xuanmen Pangu sect unleashed their supreme treasures, the two Western religious leaders quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
The Guide Daoist was alright. Facing the Four Swords of Zhuxian from the Tongtian Sect Master, he stood on a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit, surrounded by golden light. This light, combined with the auspicious light from the falling relics, allowed him to barely withstand the strangulation of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
But things aren't looking good for Daoist Zhunti.
Faced with the Pangu Banner in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he could only dodge the chaotic sword energy shot out by the Pangu Banner while using the Azure Lotus Treasure Banner to neutralize it.
The two fought for dozens more rounds. Yuanshi Daoren's Pangu Banner trembled repeatedly, shooting out streams of chaotic sword energy that sealed off all of Zhunti Daoren's escape routes.
Zhunti Daoist could only raise the Azure Lotus Banner in his hand to defend himself. Several chaotic sword energies struck the banner, and the relic hanging on the banner dimmed for a moment.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable immediately saw an opportunity, raised the Pangu Banner, and unleashed another chaotic sword light.
With a loud bang.
The sword energy finally managed to forcefully break through the auspicious light emanating from the Azure Lotus Banner, and then shot straight towards Daoist Zhunti's heart.
At the critical moment, the golden statue above the head of the Taoist Zhunti jumped down and stood in front of him.
The sword energy exploded with a roar.
The golden body of the Daoist Zhunti was immediately tattered and broken, losing not only several arms but also one of his heads.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Zhunti simply wrapped the Azure Lotus Banner around his body and fled into the depths of chaos without looking back, dragging his golden body along.
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand and pointed upwards. The Three Treasures Ruyi, which had been suspended above the auspicious clouds, instantly transformed into light and flew out, crashing heavily behind Zhunti Daoist.
Zhunti Daoist let out a muffled groan, unable to withstand the force, his body staggered and he almost fell.
In the distance, the Guide Daoist, who was originally struggling to resist the attack of the Tongtian Sect Leader, hurriedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist, come over here."
Before he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun once again raised his Ruyi and struck Zhunti Daoist.
While fending off the sword lights that kept surrounding and attacking him, the Guide Daoist threw out the blessed pestle in his hand.
Before the Ruyi could strike Zhunti Daoist again, the blessed pestle had already shot out from the side in the form of light, striking the Ruyi with a thud and instantly sending the Three Treasures Ruyi flying.
Zhunti Daoist escaped a calamity and rushed to Jieyin Daoist's side, and the two brothers reunited instantly.
The twelve-petaled lotus platform beneath the Guide Daoist's feet floated up and rose above the two people's heads. It then began to spin rapidly, with golden light cascading down like a waterfall, protecting the two of them.
At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun also arrived, and together with Tongtian Jiaozhu, they sandwiched the two of them between them.
With a thought, Tongtian Daoren sent out the four immortals Zhu, Lu, Xian, and Jue that were hovering above his head on the auspicious cloud, almost simultaneously, and began to strangle the two Western leaders.
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't stand on ceremony, waving the Pangu Banner and releasing streaks of chaotic sword energy.
Both the Pangu Banner and the Four Swords of Zhuxian can be considered the two strongest offensive spiritual treasures in the world.
Even the God-Slaying Spear in the hands of the Primordial Demon Lord, which was born from the Great Dao of Destruction, is far less sharp than these two supreme treasures.
Faced with such a powerful innate weapon of destruction from both sides, let alone Jieyin and Zhunti, even if Laozi had the Xuanhuang Pagoda on his head, or Hu Le had summoned the Merit Cloud, even with the protection of such a treasure of acquired merit, they would still not dare to take it lightly.
The Guide and the Zhunti Daoist barely managed to hold out for several dozen breaths before a breach was finally forcibly created in the golden waterfall of light cascading from the Twelve-Petaled Merit Lotus.
The next instant, the sword light unleashed by the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the chaotic sword energy shot out by the Pangu Banner all surged into the breach and struck the two saints...
Seeing this scene, Hu Le and Laozi, who were watching from afar, immediately understood that the outcome of the battle was already decided.
Jieyin and Zhunti staggered out of the encirclement of sword energy. At this moment, the two saints were in a very disheveled state. Their robes were not only tattered, but Zhunti's hair was also disheveled...
Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Lord were about to make a move, Hu Le immediately shouted to stop them, "Enough! The outcome is already decided. What harm would it do for you two to let them go?"
