“Xuanmiao only dared to return after his death, which means he was still wary of Tian Sheng’s strength,” Cao Zhengchun murmured.
"No, given his innate personality, if Xuanmiao wasn't his match, then Yuanchen, who had been staying in the Kunwu Sea, would probably have been killed by him long ago," the sweeping monk said.
"So you mean that Tian Sheng and Xuan Miao were mutually wary of each other, which is why Tian Sheng didn't go too far?" Cao Zhengchun said.
"Even with so many trump cards, he couldn't kill Xuanmiao. Perhaps that kid has some great treasure on him." The sweeping monk's gaze was somewhat intriguing.
"In a few hundred years, if we were to obtain the profound mystery of the Xi Yi Crimson Divine Ice, it would certainly not be a match for us, unless he advances to the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
"Heh, if he had advanced to the Heavenly Dao Realm, he would have returned long ago. Why would he wait until he died to come back? Besides, the Heavenly Dao Realm is ethereal and uncertain. It's hard to say whether we can even advance to it, let alone others!"
"The Palace Master said that we should not underestimate the people of the world. I'm afraid that this time, the enemy coming will definitely include a powerful figure at the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
The two led Youxi and her group, chatting as they traveled at lightning speed, and in no time they arrived at the entrance to a Heavenly Dao World.
Youxi stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, this is the Zhengde World where Yuanchen resides. Should we make some preparations?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun immediately summoned three innate spiritual treasures, his body radiating murderous intent. He coldly sneered, "Why bother with scheming? Just attack! This fiend's cultivation has been surpassed by his son. His continued existence is nothing but a waste of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"
The sweeping monk clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist mantra, and immediately a colossal lotus throne made of twelve lotus petals appeared beneath his feet.
"Amitabha Buddha, go forth on the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit that he was standing on suddenly burst forth with unparalleled brilliance, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, and sped toward the Zhengde World at an astonishing speed!
Its sheer scale and grandeur were astonishing, as if it were about to shake the entire world!
After witnessing this scene, Youxi and the others fell silent, speechless.
Without a doubt, judging from the aura emanating from this twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit, it is absolutely a peerless defensive treasure.
Moreover, this treasure must also possess many magical effects and uses.
However, the Sweeping Monk did not hesitate to use the true form of this incomparably precious magic weapon to bombard a Heavenly Dao World!
This behavior is truly moving!
As expected, as elders of the Cloud Palace, they didn't value these innate spiritual treasures at all!
With a deafening roar—"Boom!"
In an instant, countless dazzling rays of light soared into the sky, causing the entire world to tremble violently!
Although the Sweeping Monk primarily practiced Buddhist and Taoist methods, having reached such a profound and unfathomable level, he was no longer bound by those superficial and formalistic things.
Once he starts fighting, he shows absolutely no mercy.
With just this one blow, countless lives in that Zhengde world would likely be lost!
"Who dares to run wild in my Zhengde world!"
A roar rang out, and Yuan Chen's figure appeared at the entrance to the world.
"Youxi? Xiurong? How many of you are there? How dare you! Aren't you afraid my son will return and wipe you all out?"
Youxi ignored him and turned to Cao Zhengchun, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this person is Yuan Chen Tianzun, a Saint of the sixth level."
Cao Zhengchun nodded and said, "Time is of the essence, let's just eliminate him."
Cao Zhengchun had no interest in talking to Yuan Chen. He went straight for the fight. He killed a sixth-level Saint directly. Although he couldn't extinguish Yuan Chen's true spirit, it would take about ten thousand years for a Saint to be resurrected through the Heavenly Dao. This was enough time for Cao Zhengchun and his group to get things done.
As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun waved his arm and directly summoned the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
The image unfolded instantly, transforming into a massive barrier that tightly bound Yuan Chen within it.
At the same time, the Heaven-Turning Seal shone with dazzling light, radiating an endless sacred aura, and crashed down on Yuan Chen like a falling star.
Immediately afterwards, the Five Elements Flags emerged from all directions and stood around Yuan Chen.
The five flags echoed each other, their five elements intertwined, continuously releasing destructive energy in an attempt to completely engulf Yuan Chen.
At this moment, the sweeping monk held the blessed pestle and swung it forcefully. The pestle immediately became radiant and dazzling, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, rushing straight towards Yuan Chen!
The twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit beneath his feet perfectly complemented Cao Zhengchun's landscape painting, completely sealing off the surrounding space. This caused Yuan Chen to even feel that the flow of his magical power was becoming sluggish, as if it were being suppressed by an invisible force!
Not to be outdone, Youxi and the other six unleashed their respective unique skills.
Youxi, wielding a demonic blade brimming with demonic energy, appeared out of nowhere and slashed fiercely at Yuan Chen.
In an instant, the demonic energy surged and roared, seemingly burning even the void itself.
Xiu Rong gripped the Wind-Slaying Pearl tightly and suddenly unleashed a terrifying wind-slaying force.
This gust of wind is incredibly powerful; it can easily damage a saint's primordial spirit, catching people off guard!
The four sages, namely, the Heavenly Venerable of Extreme Wind, the Heavenly Venerable of Mirror Lake, the Heavenly Venerable of Wood Rites, and the Heavenly Venerable of Yangcheng, were not to be outdone. They each unleashed their ultimate moves, causing the wind and clouds to change color and the heavens and earth to tremble!
Eight incredibly powerful forces erupted simultaneously, like a surging tsunami and a devastating landslide. The terrifying power even caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Yuan Chen was completely bewildered. These were all Saint-level beings! Why did they start fighting without saying a word as soon as they met?
Logically speaking, shouldn't there be some verbal sparring and mutual mockery before the actual fight begins?
He simply couldn't understand why this was happening.
He didn't need to think much, because he was instantly engulfed by the terrifying power of the eight people, without any power to resist.
"Holy crap..."
Yuan Chen could only let out a furious roar in resentment, and then his sacred body was completely annihilated. His primordial spirit did not even escape; he was utterly destroyed, both body and soul.
He could only be resurrected and reborn by relying on the sliver of true spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao!
After everyone withdrew their supernatural powers and the space stabilized, Cao Zhengchun laughed and said, "Anyone who dares to block our Cloud Palace from harvesting immortal crystals deserves to die!"
Youxi and the others agreed repeatedly, but inwardly they were full of scorn, thinking to themselves, "You two didn't even give Yuan Chen a chance to speak, so how do you know he disagrees?"
