The attacks of the saints arrived in an instant, heavily striking the purple aura surrounding Hongjun Daoist, causing the Hongmeng Treasure Tree to shake violently once again.
Before the shaking had even stopped, the Tai Chi diagram had already drifted down and enveloped the Primordial Tree.
Seeing the purple aura surrounding him rapidly thinning under the attacks of the crowd, the precious tree was about to fall into the Tai Chi diagram.
Hongjun Daoist spun around, deflecting the attacks of the saints with the movement of his bamboo staff. At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed, summoning a bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning to strike the Taiji Diagram.
A deafening explosion was heard as divine lightning blasted out and struck the Tai Chi diagram.
This caused the falling Taiji diagram to pause, and Hongjun Daoist also managed to escape the crowd's encirclement.
Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, and the Hongmeng Bell, which was suspended above everyone's heads, crashed down and slammed into the Hongmeng Treasure Tree once again.
This time, the precious tree finally couldn't bear it any longer, let out a mournful cry, and fell directly from above Hongjun Daoist's head.
The connection between Hongjun Daoist and the Primordial Dao was severed instantly. Hongjun Daoist's expression changed. Seeing the saints surrounding him, he immediately grabbed the Primordial Treasure Tree and dragged it away.
He hadn't expected to fall into a disadvantageous position so quickly. The key was that Hu Le had somehow managed to refine a Primordial Bell, which, like him, could summon the Primordial Dao. This was the crucial reason for his defeat...
"Hongjun! Don't even think about escaping!"
Seeing that they had finally gained the upper hand, how could the saints let Hongjun Daoist escape so easily?
Now that we've fallen out with Hongjun Daoist, even if we can't kill him, we must suppress him for countless eons.
The saints shouted and rushed after Hongjun Daoist.
Hongjun Daoist dragged the Hongmeng Treasure Tree forward in silence, and soon appeared outside Zixiao Palace.
This Zixiao Palace is his sacred place of cultivation. Now that he has attained the Dao, as long as he enters the palace, he will be blessed by the Heavenly Dao and become invincible.
The two boys who were originally guarding the entrance of the Taoist temple rushed to greet Hongjun when he returned.
"Master, you're back!"
Hongjun Daoist remained indifferent, pushed the two boys deep into the Zixiao Palace, and then walked into the Daoist temple himself.
Hu Le and the others have also caught up.
From afar, each of the saints summoned a divine thunderbolt.
Amidst the rumbling sound.
Divine lightning bolts exploded above the Purple Cloud Palace, and the surrounding chaos, spanning billions of miles, transformed into earth, wind, water, and fire.
At the epicenter of the divine thunder eruption, an invisible force rose above the Purple Cloud Palace, extinguishing the surging thunder and divine fire.
In the endless sea of thunder, the ancient Taoist temple stood serenely, emitting wisps of rosy light, showing no signs of damage...
The saints were not surprised to see this, after all, this was a sacred place, and it was not so easy to destroy.
They simply stormed into the Taoist temple. As soon as they entered the main hall, they found Hongjun Taoist and charged at him again, wielding their magical weapons.
At this moment, Hongjun Daoist stood in Zixiao Palace, boundless power of the Heavenly Dao poured into his body, and immediately injected it into his bamboo staff, and once again fought with the saints.
They exchanged blows for more than ten rounds.
Suddenly, Zhunti Daoist let out a muffled groan and staggered out of the encirclement.
The next instant, Nuwa was also sent flying backward, and the long whip in her hand was now reduced to just a handle.
A moment later, the Tongtian Sect Leader also stepped out, clutching his chest.
Clearly, this Hongjun Daoist had returned to Zixiao Palace, and with the blessing of the power of the Heavenly Dao, his strength had increased significantly. He injured three people with just a few moves.
However, correspondingly, as the power of the Heavenly Dao surged in continuously, his will was being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, his vitality was rapidly dissipating, his eyes were becoming increasingly empty and lifeless, and his body was emanating a mysterious yet supremely profound aura...
Several more rounds passed in the blink of an eye, and Yuanshi Tianzun was also injured and had to retreat.
Only Hu Le, Laozi, and Jieyin Daoist remained to besiege Hongjun Daoist.
The reason why Laozi and the Guide were able to persevere was because they had two protective treasures: the Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.
As for Hu Le, with the Hongmeng Bell on his head and the power of the Hongmeng Great Dao swirling around his bamboo staff, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even if he clashed head-on with Hongjun Daoist's Heavenly Dao power.
The three sages surrounded and attacked Hongjun Daoist for a while longer.
By this time, Zhunti Daoist and the others had recovered somewhat and rejoined the battle.
Although the Zixiao Palace was created by a sage, it was not an immortal and indestructible object. When the divine powers and treasures of the sages clashed, the power of the Heavenly Dao and the power of the Primordial Dao transformed into powerful shockwaves that shot out in all directions.
In just a moment, Zixiao Palace could not withstand the attack. The main hall was first reduced to ashes, and then the entire Taoist temple was destroyed.
Under the aftershocks, Zixiao Palace was quickly reduced to nothingness.
This world gradually turned into a deathly silence. Then, as the energy continued to rage, the world collapsed and was swept away by the surrounding chaotic energy, eventually assimilating into a state of chaos.
Because Hongjun Daoist had mobilized too much Heavenly Dao power, and the Hongmeng Treasure Tree had suffered great spiritual damage, it could no longer protect his mind.
At this moment, his will had been completely suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, and he had become a puppet as if he had been transformed into the Dao.
And the more they acted this way, the more powerful they became, even without thought or intention.
At this point, the saints were no longer fighting against Hongjun Daoist, but were truly confronting the Heavenly Dao.
Seeing this, Hu Le became ruthless and began to smash the Hongmeng Bell repeatedly at Hongjun Daoist.
Among all the patriarchs and saints present, only he, by relying on the power of the Primordial Dao, could pose some threat to Hongjun Daoist.
As for the other sages, they all wielded the power of the Heavenly Dao. It was already quite difficult for them to protect themselves, let alone contend with the true Heavenly Dao.
Ultimately, the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos is the supreme Dao within the primordial chaos.
While the Primordial Heavenly Dao is also good, it ultimately cannot compare with the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.
It should be understood that the primordial chaos gave birth to countless worlds, large and small, and each world was almost qualified to condense and evolve a Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, in essence, the Heavenly Dao is also created by the Primordial Chaos Dao, and is naturally destined to reside under the Primordial Chaos Dao.
Unless, some Heavenly Dao can evolve infinite creations and replace the Primordial Dao...
Under the bombardment of the Hongmeng Bell, Hongjun Daoist gradually showed signs of weakness.
When he tried to use the power of the Heavenly Dao to attack Hu Le, the combined efforts of the saints blocked the attack, and Hu Le was not harmed in the slightest.
Especially Laozi, with the Xuanhuang Pagoda on his head and the Taiji Golden Bridge under his feet, was invincible and withstood most of Hongjun Daoist's attacks.
Hongjun Daoist endured for another dozen or so rounds, but finally could not hold on any longer. The Creation Jade Disc above his head shattered under the bombardment of the Hongmeng Bell, and with no more spiritual treasures to protect him, he was then slammed hard into the chest by the Hongmeng Bell.
With a clang.
Hongjun Daoist's face turned pale, and he was sent flying backward...
