Chapter 178 Saints: Is this right? They are all saints, so why is there such a big difference? (1)
"Fellow Daoist Styx, please!" Tongtian pointed his Qingping Sword forward into the chaos, and instantly the surrounding earth, water, wind, and fire were all swept away, the universe was in chaos, and a boundless giant palace was opened in the Zhen position with a roar. The Zhuxian Sword hung at the door, its length unknown, with purple lightning swirling around its blade.
But then a thunderous roar ripped through the sky, and a misty blue sword aura poured down like a celestial river, turning chaos into nothingness wherever it passed.
The blood-red clouds surged as the Immortal Slayer Sword blazed with crimson light, its blade emitting the malevolent energy of the Nine Netherworlds. Countless crimson rainbows pierced the earth, instantly dissolving the three souls and seven spirits of any mortal who touched it.
The black wind howled fiercely, and the Immortal-Trapping Sword transformed into a vast expanse of mysterious mist, within which countless phantoms appeared and disappeared, their fangs opening and closing to devour the essence of the sun and moon.
The frost of the Kan position sealed the boundary, and the Absolute Immortal Sword resounded with the roar of dragons and howls of tigers. The sword changed infinitely, and the stars in the sky dimmed in its presence.
At the array platform, Tongtian's beard and hair bristled, and four heavenly weapons resonated, filling the entire Zhuxian Sword Formation with killing intent that was difficult to look directly at.
It is:
It is neither copper, nor iron, nor steel; it was once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru.
Without reversing Yin and Yang to refine it, how can one lack the tempering of water and fire to hone its sharpness?
Slaying immortals brings profit, killing immortals brings death, and trapping immortals causes red light to rise everywhere.
The immortal transformations are infinitely wondrous, even the great immortals are stained with blood!
Yuanshi and Laozi stood behind Tongtian to support him, while the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram together enveloped the platform of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
"Such a grand formation, it's a good opportunity to test Styx." After all, Styx's cultivation far surpasses theirs. They had suffered countless losses at Styx's hands before. Now, the Three Pure Ones all felt that after becoming saints, the gap between them and Styx was extremely small, but none of them believed that they could defeat Styx one-on-one.
After all, the Styx had put immense pressure on them in countless previous battles.
"Please, fellow Daoists." Styx was still in his old configuration, with the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus beneath his feet, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds above his head, and the Golden Wheel of Merit behind him, as he went straight into the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
Upon entering the Immortal Slaughtering Palace, Tongtian Hand unleashed a palm thunderbolt, instantly igniting the incomparably sharp sword intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. Boundless Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi rushed straight towards the River Styx, but was completely blocked by the auspicious clouds of the heavens.
"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, do not be anxious. This cloud is formed from the righteous energy in Father God's heart. Heaven and earth have righteous energy, and this treasure cannot be broken by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword." Styx stood under the auspicious clouds of the heavens, letting the boundless Immortal Slaughtering Sword energy beat down like rain on banana leaves, remaining unmoved.
"snort!
"Fellow Daoist Styx, you are quite confident!" Tongtian snorted coldly upon hearing this, and formed a hand seal.
Suddenly, the sword intents of the four killing swords, Zhu, Lu, Xian, and Jue, merged into one. At this moment, standing in the Zhuxian Palace, Minghe felt that the sword intent before him had the sharpness of the Zhuxian Sword, the killing intent of the Luxian Sword, the red light of the Xianxian Sword, and the infinite variations of the Juexian Sword. In an instant, the killing intent and sword intent seemed to be inexhaustible, much stronger than before.
Styx knew perfectly well that this must be the same method Tongtian used to cut off the golden lotus on Yuanshi's head during the Investiture of the Gods war. However, relying on his cultivation level, which far surpassed Tongtian's, Styx did nothing else but rely on the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds for defense.
Five-colored radiance illuminated the heavens, and eight-tone celestial music resounded throughout the universe, creating a pure land even in the space of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which was filled with the killing intent of swords.
At this moment, the sword energy within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation collided and neutralized with the boundless treasures hanging from the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds. Furthermore, the power of countless laws and the magical power of saints collided and exploded within it, creating a dazzling display of killing intent.
Laozi and Yuanshi both narrowed their eyes. Even they were powerless to withstand Tongtian's sword energy. Styx's cultivation was indeed terrifying.
Fortunately, they were cautious and chose to test the waters again; otherwise, they would have been humiliated, and it would have been even more embarrassing.
"Fellow Daoists, how can you stand idly by in the formation when you come to challenge us?" Styx lay high on the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, looking relaxed at the Three Pure Ones in the center of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
"Stop being so glib with your words." Yuanshi remained silent, but his rebuttal was somewhat weak.
At this moment, the situation was indeed making things difficult for them.
After all, if even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation couldn't break through the Styx's defenses, then in the short term, they really wouldn't have any means to deal with the Styx. And a stalemate—the power of saints is inexhaustible, so if this stalemate continues, will it ever end?
This is the benefit of high defense. Lao Tzu is such a player. The Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and the Tai Chi Diagram provide defense that makes it impossible for any attack to break through his defense. In battle, he is naturally invincible.
"Ha ha----
"If I break your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation today, how will you respond?" Styx looked at the Three Pure Ones on the platform of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and chuckled.
"Impossible!" Tongtian roared in fury on the Execution Formation Platform. Styx's actions were an extreme insult to him.
It can be said that, looking across the entire prehistoric world, no one can break the current Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. The Dao Ancestor once said that the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot be broken by any of the Four Saints. Although there are still four Saints in the prehistoric world, the Three Pure Ones simply do not believe that Zhunti, Jieyin, Nuwa and Styx would join forces to take action!
Moreover, even if the other three sages join forces with Styx, Laozi and Yuanshi are still in charge of the formation!
"If I break this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, from now on, the three of you will not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the human race. What do you say?" Styx looked at the Three Pure Ones before him and coaxed them gently.
"Arrogant!" Yuan Shi felt a surge of anger.
"If that's the case, then so be it!" Tongtian snorted coldly. First, the current Zhuxian Sword Formation is impossible to break. Second, if it were to be broken, then when they faced the Styx River, who could break the Zhuxian Sword Formation by himself, they would be at the mercy of others. At that time, wouldn't everything be up to the Styx River?
At this moment, Lao Tzu felt a little uneasy, but considering the astonishing difference in strength between the two sides on paper, he felt relieved.
"Of course, after breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, I will still need to trouble you three fellow Daoists to accompany me to the Purple Cloud Palace." With that, Styx rose from the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. In an instant, terrifying holy might pressed down on the entire Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, causing the Three Pure Ones in the formation platform to change their expressions.
"How could this be!" Laozi's mind was slightly disturbed. Logically speaking, even if Styx attained enlightenment before them, the gap should not be so large!
"Could it be... reincarnation?" The Three Pure Ones all considered this possibility at this moment. Only the merits accumulated in the land of reincarnation could allow Styx's cultivation to improve so greatly.
But then Styx's actions sent a chill through Laozi's body.
That is—
"Impossible!" Laozi looked at Styx's methods in disbelief. As he had expected, Styx was about to use a divine power, but that divine power was one that existed in his consciousness but had not yet been created by him!
This is impossible!
How is that possible!
Unless Styx is—
