The Taoist priest stared at Yingxu, who seemed completely indifferent to fame, and a wave of despair and helplessness washed over him.
At this moment, he had nothing more to say. He had only two paths before him: either obediently hand over the crucial Hongmeng Golden List, or gamble everything and fight with all his might to seize a sliver of hope.
Looking back, if he had faced such a difficult choice at the beginning, he might have hesitated.
However, times have changed. Having lost our precious physical bodies, we have severed our path to the Great Way.
Worse still, due to the destruction of that powerful formation, his primordial spirit suffered a severe backlash, and at this moment it was like a weak candle flame in a storm, teetering on the brink of extinction.
Even if he were to hand over the Primordial Golden List at this moment in exchange for a chance to live, such a way of surviving would be nothing more than merely prolonging his life.
Rather than living such a humiliating life, it's better to rise up and fight back!
Even if the final outcome is to fall into reincarnation and start over, at least you have fought hard and left no regrets.
Thinking of this, the Taoist's primordial spirit let out a chilling laugh: "Since things have come to this, then I will fight you to the death!"
Having said that, he unhesitatingly unleashed his final move, summoning all the countless divine swords he had painstakingly collected over the years.
In an instant, sword light flashed and cold light radiated in all directions. These divine swords shot towards Daoist Yingxu like bolts of lightning, carrying boundless power and a resolute intent.
The Daoist Yingxu smiled slightly, revealing a contemptuous expression, completely unconcerned about the countless divine swords shooting towards him.
He calmly faced the rain of swords, slowly raising the whisk in his hand and seemingly casually waving it.
In an instant, a dazzling beam of immortal light burst forth from the whisk, rushing towards the sky full of sword light like a torrent.
The swirling celestial light collided with the incomparably sharp sword light, producing a deafening roar.
The once fierce and unstoppable sword light instantly froze in mid-air, as if it had been frozen in place.
Immediately afterwards, the sword light began to tremble violently, as if it could not withstand the impact of the immortal light, and rapidly disintegrated and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, despite the astonishing power of the divine light, some stubborn sword lights were still struggling to hold on.
Although they could not advance any further under the shimmering light, they did not completely collapse.
At this moment, the Taoist priest saw that his final killing move had been so easily neutralized, and his heart was filled with despair and fear.
Before the celestial light could fully envelop him, the Taoist made a decisive move, using a secret technique to transform his figure into a streak of light, shooting towards Hu Le in the distance like lightning.
He attempted to escape the range of Yingxu Daoist's attack and seek a glimmer of hope from Hu Le.
But how could Daoist Yingxu let him have his way?
With a cold snort, Daoist Yingxu raised his right hand and pointed towards the chaotic void.
Suddenly, a deep rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, like ten thousand horses galloping.
With this deafening roar, a bolt of divine lightning as thick as a child's arm descended from the sky, carrying a world-destroying force, and struck the Taoist's primordial spirit with tremendous force.
With a deafening roar, the divine lightning exploded upon contact with the Taoist's primordial spirit, unleashing a dazzling light.
A powerful energy shockwave spread outwards, stirring up gusts of wind and seemingly distorting the surrounding space.
The Taoist's primordial spirit was instantly engulfed by the terrifying divine lightning.
"ah--!"
With a heart-wrenching scream, the Taoist's once tall, mighty, and radiant primordial spirit body was suddenly enveloped in raging thunder and fire.
The flames, like a greedy beast, devoured everything in their path, and in the blink of an eye, the primordial spirit body began to shatter rapidly.
In just a short while, the Taoist priest was left with only a few broken fragments of divine consciousness.
However, even in such a fragile state, this wisp of divine thought still unleashed astonishing power, breaking through the endless sea of thunder at lightning speed, and appearing before Hu Le in an instant like a bolt of lightning.
At this moment, his divine sense had become so distorted and unrecognizable, but he still managed to transform into the Taoist's phantom image through sheer willpower.
The phantom appeared indistinct and precarious, as if it might vanish into nothingness at any moment.
"Fellow Daoist... I entrust this treasure to you! In the future... if you achieve something on the Great Dao, I hope you can come and guide me!" The Daoist quickly instructed Hu Le in an extremely weak and hurried voice.
Hu Le nodded slightly in agreement: "Don't worry, when the time is right, I will naturally help you embark on the path of cultivation!"
Upon hearing Hu Le's words, the Taoist priest revealed a relieved smile.
Then his figure instantly transformed into countless specks of clear light, gradually dissipating into the air, leaving only a few magical treasures radiating mysterious light quietly floating in mid-air.
Among these magical treasures, the most eye-catching is the legendary Primordial Golden List.
Seeing this, Hu Le did not hesitate to flick his sleeve, and a powerful suction force was suddenly generated, instantly sucking all the magical treasures into his sleeve.
Hu Le couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
He never expected that this Taoist would rather give up the Primordial Golden List, which he regarded as his life, and hand it over to him than bow down and submit to the Yingxu Taoist.
However, even after their encounter, he still doesn't know the man's name.
However, Hu Le knew perfectly well that at this moment, the gaze of the Daoist Yingxu was like that of a hungry wolf, staring intently at him, showing no intention of letting him go.
Therefore, now is definitely not the time for him to be complacent or overjoyed.
Sure enough, just as Hu Le was putting those invaluable treasures into his pocket, suddenly, an extremely sharp sword light shot out from the side like lightning.
The sword light appeared somewhat chaotic and hazy, but the killing intent it contained was so intense that it sent chills down one's spine, as if it were about to tear the entire world apart.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light, filled with endless killing intent, had already flown to Hu Le's front.
It seemed that if it just turned around Hu Le even slightly, Hu Le's flesh and blood body would be mercilessly cut in two in an instant, his head and body separated.
Faced with such a critical situation, Hu Le dared not hesitate or waver in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, he pushed off with his feet, and his whole body flew backward rapidly like a ghost.
At the same time, he slightly raised his arm, and a flash of cold light shot out from his sleeve like a meteor chasing the moon, fearlessly rushing straight towards the menacing sword light opposite him.
