Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

For the countless ancient gods who were watching the battle here, the battle between Yuanshi and Styx was full of twists and turns and many reversals!
What they found most unbelievable was that even though Yuanshi had used the method of merging the laws of Heaven and the laws of Demon to unleash power comparable to the Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm, Styx was still able to unleash the same power at the last moment.
While it's true that Yuanshi and Styx perished together this time, and it's not a matter of who won or lost, for Yuanshi, who was determined to kill the latter and wash away his past shame, this should be considered a "loss," right?
"Even so, without the power of the demonic path, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable would absolutely not have been able to possess the power of the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm!"

"If we also used the power of the demonic path, then even if we weren't as strong as the Primordial Celestial Venerable, we should still be much stronger than we are now, right?"

"..."

After regaining their senses, the desire for great power led many ancient deities to covet the demonic path.

However, falling into demonic possession is no small matter, and it's unlikely that many saints would be willing to try it easily in the short term!
"Is this the power of the Primordial Beginning combined with the power of the Demonic Path?"

"If we could also become demons, then even if we didn't have the same combat power as him at the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) level, we should be able to possess the strength at the limit level of the Hunyuan (Saint) level without the blessing of the Buddhist 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation'!"

Both Jieyin and Zhunti were immediately struck by a glimmer of hope, as if they had glimpsed a new hope for the rise of the West.

Strands of black demonic light also appeared in their eyes!
"My second brother perished together with the Styx River?" In contrast, Taiqing's attention was not on the amplification that the demonic power brought to Yuanshi, but rather he shook his head with some worry and sighed, "In this way, my second brother's obsession will surely become even stronger!"

Taiqing knew Yuanshi's character very well; the latter would never accept the outcome of perishing together with the Styx.

Furthermore, since Yuanshi has already fallen into demonic possession, even Taiqing can no longer predict what he will do in the future.

"Since I was unable to help you suppress the Styx River, let's try our best to give our Heavenly Dao side more advantages in this battle!"

After quickly regaining his senses, Taiqing's deep gaze became increasingly resolute!

"One Qi transforms three pure things!"

The next moment, Taiqing directly used his divine power to create three clones with the same strength as himself.

Then he and his three clones joined the various battlefields!

"Taiqing!"

"Hmph, so what if you join us? The final victor of this great battle will surely be my Underworld!"

"You bastards from the Heavenly Path, die!"

"..."

With the addition of Taiqing and his three avatars, Houtu (avatar), Fengdu Emperor, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Eleven Ancestral Witches all faced increased pressure!

After all, this is equivalent to four beings at the limit level of the Primordial Chaos (Saint) realm joining the battlefield and standing on the opposite side of them!

Even so, the underworld still firmly believes that they will achieve final victory!

However, the reality is not so optimistic!
The Emperor of Fengdu possesses the supreme innate spiritual treasures "Book of Life and Death" and "Judge's Pen" bestowed upon him by Houtu, and also holds the authority of the Underworld second only to Houtu, the Lord of the Underworld. Dealing with a Jieyin would naturally be no problem for him.

If Jieyin hadn't received some of the power from the Buddhist "Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation" and temporarily possessed the combat power of the Hunyuan (Saint) Realm limit, he probably would have been killed by the Fengdu Emperor in just one exchange!

As a result, one of Taiqing's avatars has now joined the battle between the Fengdu Emperor and Jieyin.

The one who fell into a disadvantageous position immediately became the Emperor of Fengdu!

the other side!
"Five Directions Ghost Emperor Formation, merge!"

Ten Ghost Emperors, each with only the initial strength of a Primordial Golden Immortal (Saint), actually merged with each other through an array to form a "Supreme Ghost Emperor," granting him the power of the Primordial (Saint) realm's limit!

Thus, they gained the right to rival Zhunti, who had also received a portion of the power of the "Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation".

But just like the situation on Fengdu Emperor's side, another clone of Taiqing joined their battlefield, instantly putting the Supreme Ghost Emperor at a disadvantage!
"The Yama Formation!"

On the side of the Ten Kings of Hell, with the help of the Five Ghost Emperors, the Emperor of Fengdu, and even Houtu, they possessed the qualifications to contend with the combined forces of a group of Buddhist disciples, including Ksitigarbha, Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Avalokiteshvara, and even held the advantage.

Moreover, Taiqing's last clone did not join their battle.

This also allows the Ten Kings of Hell to still maintain a slight advantage!

"Taiqing!"

"As a Heavenly Saint, you dare to rashly participate in our battle? You are truly shameless!"

"Hmph, aren't all Heavenly Saints like this?"

"Even so, do you think we're afraid?"

"..."

The eleven Ancestral Witches, who were fighting against the top experts of the Heavenly Dao, such as Laozi, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, Amitabha, Bodhi Patriarch, Xuandu, and Antarctic Immortal, were all cursing and mocking Taiqing!
There was no other reason than that Taiqing's last clone had joined their battle.

It should be noted that the eleven Ancestral Witches were only Quasi-Saints, and the Supreme Lord Laozi on the other side was also only a Quasi-Saint.

In this situation, the Taiqing clone, who possesses the ultimate power of the Hunyuan (Saint) realm, joined in. How is this any different from playing the rogue?
"Ah!"

“We are enemies, and we are not even fighting in a ring, so why can’t I attack you directly?”

Taiqing's clone sneered.

The fact that Yuanshi had fallen into demonic possession and perished together with the Styx River made him very unhappy.

He only wants to expand the gains for the Heavenly Dao side now, and he no longer cares about saving face!

If he can defeat the Eleven Ancestral Witches, then at least the Heavenly Dao side will have achieved a partial victory!

As for the true form of Taiqing?
"Teacher, let me help you!"

Taiqing's true form, with the acquired merit treasure "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda" on his head and the creation treasure "Taiji Diagram" in his hand, joined the battle between Hongyuan and Houtu's clone!

"Taiqing?"

Upon seeing Taiqing's arrival, a hint of surprise flashed in Hongyuan's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

The battle between him and Houtu's clone was evenly matched from beginning to end.

If it were just a friendly spar, Hongyuan would most likely not let Taiqing participate.

But this is a great battle between the Heavenly Dao and the Underworld, so there is no need to be too conventional!
but……

"Taiqing?" "With your strength, what qualifications do you have to participate in this battle between me and Hongyuan?"

Houtu's clone then questioned Taiqing.

At the same time, a power comparable to the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) level was released from her hands, suppressing and killing Taiqing!
Clearly, by amplifying a certain Great Dao Law with other Great Dao Laws, Houtu's clone has now reached the level of Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) Realm.

Taiqing, who is only at the limit of the Hunyuan (Saint) realm, theoretically should not be able to withstand the attack of Houtu's clone!

Upon seeing this, Hongyuan hesitated for a moment but did not intervene to help Taiqing defend himself.

If Taiqing himself does not have the strength to resist Houtu's clone, then even if Hongyuan can help him withstand one attack, he cannot help him withstand it indefinitely!
On the contrary, Hongyuan might expose a weakness in order to defend Taiqing from the attack!
"Ah!"

"Is this what it feels like to face an attack from a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) level cultivator?"

"With this, when the time is right in the future, it will be much easier for me to step into the true Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm!"

"Besides, I never said I could withstand your attack, and that's not why I came here."

"My purpose is..."

Taiqing chuckled and handed over his Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and Taiji Diagram to Hongyuan.

The next moment, he was killed on the spot by the powerful attack of Houtu's clone!
"Is it to deliver treasure to me?"

Hongyuan received the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram, and instantly understood Taiqing's thoughts.

Ordinary innate treasures are actually not very useful to Hongyuan, who has temporarily reached the battle power of the Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal (Dao Integration) realm.

However, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda is the number one defensive treasure in the primordial world, while the Taiji Diagram is one of the innate treasures created at the beginning of creation!

Even with these two treasures, Hongyuan's strength may not far surpass that of Houtu's clone, but at least it will make his advantage even greater!
In order to be able to perceive the power of the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Luo Golden Immortal (Hedao) realm more clearly in advance, so as to prepare for the opportunity to step into this stage in the future, Taiqing did not hesitate to sacrifice himself once to personally come and hand over the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and Taiji Diagram to Hongyuan!

Furthermore, because Taiqing is a sage of the Heavenly Dao, he possesses the characteristics of immortality and indestructibility.

Even if he were to perish like he did just now, he could be resurrected instantly with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, his three clones still exist and continue to put considerable pressure on the Fengdu Emperor, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Eleven Ancestral Witches!
"I see!"

"Taiqing actually intends to try and change the course of the war between us through treasures?"

Houtu's clone also understood the purpose of coming to Taiqing, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

Compared to Taiqing, as one of the Ancestral Witches, she really didn't have any treasures that would be suitable to be used at this time!
From this perspective, she is undoubtedly a step behind Hongyuan at this moment!
"However, as one of the Ancestral Witches, I am the strongest treasure myself, so why would I need any other treasures?"

A glint flashed in Houtu's eyes as she drew all the power of the Great Dao laws into her body, thereby greatly enhancing her physical strength!
"bring it on!"

"It's time for our new battle!"

Before Hongyuan could respond, Houtu's clone appeared in front of him instantly and threw a punch without any fancy moves!
"boom!"

A pure and terrifying physical power suddenly erupted from Houtu's clone's fist, carrying the force to destroy everything, and slammed towards Hongyuan!
"not good!"

Hong Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly summoned the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram that he had just obtained from Taiqing!
"boom!"

However, in just a moment, ripples appeared in the defenses of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram!
"It's not over yet!"

Without saying a word, Houtu's clone unleashed punch after punch!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

One after another, pure physical power beyond the imagination of countless primordial gods bombarded the defenses of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Taiji Diagram.

It probably won't take many punches before Houtu's clone blasts open the defenses of these two treasures with her fists!
"hateful!"

"Damn Ancestral Witch!"

Hongyuan's face was grim.

It must be said that compared to fighting with the power of the Great Dao Laws, Houtu's clone, which integrates the power of the Great Dao Laws into her body and fights with pure physical strength, is indeed terrifyingly powerful!
He could barely hold on!
Meanwhile, changes are quietly taking place on other battlefields!

"Taiqing!"

"Do you really think you're the only one who can be in two places at once?"

"Fengdu clone, appear!"

One of the Great Emperor Taiqing of Fengdu spoke a sentence, and two clones of the same strength as him were immediately created!
Clearly, following Taiqing's "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones", Taichu's Great Dao Avatar, Styx's "Blood God Avatar", and Yuanshi's "Demonic Avatar", similar methods of creating avatars are no longer novel!
Taiqing's idea of ​​directly changing the course of the war between the Heavenly Dao and the Underworld through his Three Pure Ones clones is a bit naive!
Because the Fengdu Emperor created two "Fengdu clones", it means that the number of beings at the limit level of the Hunyuan (Saint) realm on his side exceeds the sum of the Taiqing clone and the Jieyin clone.

The ones who are now at a disadvantage are Taiqing's clone and Jieyin!

"Ha ha!"

"Even though we lost this time, we are still honorable in defeat!"

The Supreme Ghost Emperor, formed by the fusion of the Five Ghost Emperors through the "Five Directions Ghost Emperor Formation," naturally could not create an avatar of equal strength to himself like the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

However, the true combat power of each of them Ghost Emperors is only at the early stage of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal (Saint) realm. They are able to fight to a draw with a Hunyuan (Saint) realm limit existence. So even if they lose to the combined forces of two existences of this level, can it really be considered a loss?
Even on a grand scale, their record is already incredibly terrifying!

at the same time!

"The Great Formation of the Twelve Capital Gods!"

"start!"

Faced with the shameless addition of the last clone of Taiqing, the Eleven Ancestral Witches did not hesitate to set up their exclusive formation together with another quasi-saint peak-level clone of Houtu, condensing the Pangu clone that was familiar to all the saints!

Furthermore, unlike the late-stage Saint level when Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch fought, the aura of Pangu's true form at this moment has clearly reached the peak of the Saint realm, or even the limit of the Saint realm!

Clearly, Pangu's true form did not use its full strength in the previous battles against Amitabha Buddha and Bodhi Patriarch! (End of Chapter)
