Chapter 25: The Three Purities Make a Divide, Heavenly Lord Finally Strikes!
“Heavenly Saint, high above, unpredictable, insightful into the heavens and the earth, what you just said has offended the Saint.”
“Third brother, listen to your elder brother’s advice and quickly apologize to the Ancestor of the Tao. He is magnanimous and will forgive you.”
Laozi, looking concerned, earnestly advised the Heavenly Lord.
On the other side, Yuanshi supported, saying, “Third brother, don’t destroy your path just because of a momentary anger!”
“Ancestor of the Tao, it’s my fault…”
Even Houtu felt that the Heavenly Lord had offended Hongjun, so she was worried for him. After all, everyone is insignificant beneath the saints, and countless beings in the prehistoric world revere Hongjun’s status; it must not be defied. Moreover, Hongjun, during the battle between Taoism and demons, eliminated the demon ancestor Luohu, earning great respect in the prehistoric world, and could not tolerate disrespect.
However, the Heavenly Lord maintained a proud and unyielding demeanor from start to finish. He greatly respected Ye Xiu but couldn’t tolerate anyone defaming him, not even the Holy Ancestor of the Tao, Hongjun. Even the fearsome celestial phenomena erupted after these words, signifying an apocalyptic scenario.
Thunder rolled, and lightning flashed as a fierce wind kicked up debris, and dark clouds shrouded the vast sky. Hongjun grew increasingly somber inside the Purple Heaven Palace as his anger was barely concealed in his eyes.
Heavenly Lord is being incredibly audacious!
“Third brother, have you gone mad?!”
Laozi, too, was shocked by the Heavenly Lord’s words, with a fearful expression, dreading the wrath of the saint and the cataclysm it might bring. Yuanshi glared at the Heavenly Lord, fearing that Hongjun might cast blame on him, implicating him in the turmoil.
As Heavenly Lord resisted, Yuanshi was further infuriated, exclaiming, “Third brother, do you think the one on Mount Buzhou is more powerful than the Tao Ancestor, Hongjun?”
Without hesitation, the Heavenly Lord responded, “Naturally!”
“Hahaha…”
Unable to contain his laughter, Yuanshi teased, “It appears that over these millennia, not only have you learned the art of concealing your presence, but your tongue has also become quite sharp.”
Heavenly Lord, mindful of the bond between the Three Purities brothers, ignored the mockery and simply snorted, choosing to remain silent. To his surprise, Yuanshi, seeing Heavenly Lord’s silence, pushed further, saying smugly, “Third brother, why don’t you let the second brother witness just how much your power has grown over these past few thousand years?”
“If you lose, you’ll come with me to the Purple Heaven Palace and apologize to the Tao Ancestor in person!”
The fighting spirit is powerful and filled with a sense of provocation.
Before this, Yuanshi believed that he had gained significant knowledge in the Purple Heaven Palace and had wanted to challenge the Heavenly Lord for a while. Now, he saw the opportunity.
“Second brother, don’t push me.”
Heavenly Lord had a cold expression as he calmly said, “Once I act, the power of the sword’s Dao is something you won’t be able to withstand. Once unleashed, the sword’s sharpness can harm or even kill powerful Great Luo Golden Immortals like you.”
“Hahaha, it’s laughable, simply laughable!”
In response to Heavenly Lord’s words, there was a teasing laughter.
“Am I forcing you? Haha, what if I am? Heavenly Lord, do you think your cultivation is on par with mine?”
“Today, I will make you understand why I, Yuanshi, became your second brother!”
Yuanshi was convinced that the Heavenly Lord was not his match and, after his words, he attacked with a powerful palm strike from a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which had the potential to manipulate the three mountains and five hills of the prehistoric world and control time and the ages, even against the river of time.
Surprisingly, in this situation, it was Laozi, the one usually acting as the voice of reason in the Three Purities, who did not step in to stop it. This hinted that Laozi might have intentions to side with Yuanshi. Heavenly Lord felt an inexplicable chill in his heart at this moment.
Brotherhood?
Hehe!
If Laozi and Yuanshi had arrived a little earlier, they would have witnessed the Heavenly Lord’s profound understanding of the sword. At the same time, they would have been astonished to discover that the quasi-saint they were searching for was none other than the Heavenly Lord!
However, now, it was too late for everything!
A series of clear and bright sword chants resounded in a split second, echoing throughout the vast, ancient, starry sky. Simultaneously, the sword energy surged, and sword intents covered everything, breaking the rivers of time and shattering eternal time and space.
At that moment, countless beings in the prehistoric world felt it and subconsciously exclaimed, “A quasi-saint powerhouse?!”
Even Hongjun in the Purple Heaven Palace, after observing this scene with his all-seeing eye, displayed a hint of surprise in his expression.
Laozi, Yuanshi, and Houtu present were utterly shocked, especially Yuanshi, who was left stunned, speechless, and filled with disbelief.
“Since when did you break through to the quasi-saint realm?!”
Yuanshi could sense the immense quasi-saintly power emanating from the Heavenly Lord. Heavenly Lord had transformed his vast quasi-saintly power into an overwhelming sword intent.
In a single thought, anything could become a sword. Yuanshi’s legs inexplicably trembled, and his expression was one of sheer terror. He had never expected that the Heavenly Lord would grow to such a terrifying extent in just a few thousand years.
