Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The entire Liubo Mountain seemed to tremble, and the once calm seawater around the island began to boil inexplicably.

A bolt of lightning, seemingly from ancient times, flashed across the sky, suddenly rising up, piercing the dark clouds, tearing through the sky, like an arrogant and invincible god descending to the mortal world, stopping at the burning tip of the sword.

In that instant, the people in the sky suddenly could no longer see Tian Buyi's figure; the blazing and dazzling light covered this entire world.

Suddenly, another clap of thunder rang out!

With a deafening roar, the world changed color as an enormous, unparalleled beam of light shot out, piercing through all the dark clouds and outshining the summer sun, hurtling headlong and unstoppable toward Li Xiuyuan.

Seeing the divine lightning strike, Li Xiuyuan did not retreat at all and shouted, "Shut up!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm like a blade, severing the lightning in the sky. His hand, however, remained unharmed, as smooth as jade, which was astonishing.

what?

Seeing that his divine sword, the Thunder Control Technique, was utterly useless against his opponent, and that even the lightning was easily interrupted, Tian Buyi was greatly alarmed.

Seeing Tian Buyi's terrified expression, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that even the lightning during the Heavenly Tribulation would not frighten him with his cultivation level, let alone the lightning that Tian Buyi had summoned.

Li Xiuyuan coldly shouted, "Six Ears, it's your turn to make the move!"

After he finished speaking, the Six-Eared Macaque jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Alright!"

As he spoke, a stick appeared in his hand—the Qiankun Stick—which suddenly grew several times larger and swung towards Tian Buyi.

Before the staff even landed, it seemed as if the air itself collapsed, as if it had crushed the entire void. Seeing the Qiankun Staff fall, Tian Buyi didn't have time to think. He unleashed a fire dragon from his Crimson Flame Sword and lunged at the Six-Eared Macaque with bared teeth and claws.

However, under the Six-Eared Macaque's staff, even the most dazzling moves were useless. This blow directly smashed Tian Buyi into a deep pit, and just as he was about to continue his killing blow...

Suddenly, the sword light intensified, and a dazzling sword light struck, forcing the Six-Eared Macaque to stop and swing his Qiankun Cudgel in return.

A loud rumbling sound was heard, and a murderous aura emanated from the Qiankun Staff.

The Six-Eared Macaque was greatly surprised and exclaimed, "Wow! What powerful sword energy! It's giving me the creeps!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and saw Dao Xuan holding a dazzling sword. He pointed the sword at the sky, and suddenly, strange chanting sounds echoed from the radiant light in the sky, like the low chanting of gods and Buddhas, or the sinister laughter of demons from the netherworld.

A nameless sense of dread weighed heavily on Qingyun Mountain's mind.

Upon seeing Dao Xuan appear, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "The Immortal Execution Sword has finally appeared."

Chapter 229 Ancient Sword Slaying Immortals

Li Xiuyuan stared intently at the sword in Dao Xuan Zhenren's hand. The sword and hilt were fused together, resembling neither stone nor jade.

This sword looks ordinary, with patterns running across its blade, and it appears somewhat worn, with faint cracks running across its surface.

This was undoubtedly the Immortal Execution Sword, a sword that seemed as if it might shatter at any moment. Yet, when Dao Xuan Zhenren held it in his hand, it shone with a dazzling light to onlookers.

Suddenly, a purple light rose from the main peak of Tongtian, and at the same time, six more dazzling lights rose from the other six peaks.

These lights were divided into six colors: yellow, cyan, red, green, orange, and blue. They enveloped each other, and finally, the seven strange lights converged on the ancient sword Zhuxian in Dao Xuan's hand, which was now dazzling and brilliant.

A thunderous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

Seven strange rays of light completely enveloped the Qingyun Sect, and the Zhuxian Formation had been activated.

A burst of light flashed on the Zhuxian Ancient Sword. A moment later, countless swords of energy, hovering in mid-air, rushed down with incomparably sharp momentum, heading straight for the members of the Demonic Sect.

Swords fell like rain, and the world turned grim!

Countless members of the Demonic Cult raised their arms to resist, but the sword of energy was as indestructible as ever, stabbing down mercilessly. Those with weaker skills were immediately driven deep into the ground, their blood splattering everywhere.

On Tongtian Peak, there was a sudden burst of wailing and screams, with countless severed limbs and pieces of flesh flying everywhere, a scene of carnage and bloodshed, like a living hell.

The Immortal Execution Sword is inherently a malevolent weapon; it is impossible for others to wield it, and its appearance inevitably leads to bloodshed.

At this moment, the members of the Demonic Sect were already in a panic. They knew how powerful the Immortal Slaughtering Formation was, and if they didn't escape quickly, the Demonic Sect would probably be completely wiped out.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up as he murmured softly, "Indeed, it is this Zhuxian Sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light descended, and the Qiankun Cudgel in the Six-Eared Macaque's hand suddenly expanded several times its original size. The giant cudgel roared over and crushed the entire space.

Rumble!

A series of sounds rang out, and the rain of swords was instantly wiped out, revealing the towering figure of the Six-Eared Macaque before everyone. He had finally gotten a chance to fight in the arena, so naturally he wouldn't let it go.

The Four Lords of Chaos inherited the bloodline of the Chaos Demon Ape, and they were all inherently combative, as were Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque.

Ah!

Upon witnessing the divine might of the Six-Eared Macaque, Dao Xuan Zhenren couldn't help but turn his gaze upon him. At this moment, his aura reached its peak, and the dazzling light in the sky illuminated the entire firmament, even causing the rising sun on the horizon to lose its color.

The once magnificent Zhuxian Sword Formation, which once filled the sky with grandeur, now only had a single main sword remaining, but its hidden power surpassed that of countless sword shadows.

An increasingly intense white light shot from Dao Xuan Zhenren's radiance onto the main sword, changing the color of the entire main sword from seven colors to a single color, from single white to pure white, shining with boundless brilliance, as if it were a mad sword about to break through the sky.

When the Zhuxian Ancient Sword fell, the world paled in comparison!

Suddenly, a deafening roar rang in everyone's ears, as if the sky had been torn apart, the earth shattered, and the chaos shattered. The sky suddenly became stormy with clouds and lightning, as if welcoming the arrival of a truly invincible being.

The Six-Eared Macaque's body grew dozens of times larger, becoming a giant ape hundreds of feet tall, and the Qiankun Cudgel in its hand also became larger.

At this moment, the Six-Eared Macaque was operating the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong. As the Qiankun Cudgel fell, a rumbling sound was heard.

In an instant, the entire Tongtian Peak lost its color, and a fierce wind howled for miles around.

Rumble!

A series of extremely muffled thunderclaps resounded, and after the two figures separated in the air, the huge body of the Six-Eared Macaque was unharmed.

A faint, almost inaudible sound suddenly came from the blade of the Immortal Execution Sword. Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked over. He saw a clear crack appear on the ancient sword, lying across it.

Dao Xuan Zhenren was coughing up blood, and even the Zhuxian Sword in his hand had been broken in half, which was truly astonishing.

Something descended from the sky, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly, and landed on the ground with a 'plop'. The originally extremely hard stone slab was pierced deeply by it, as if it were tofu.

This broken item was none other than the ancient sword Zhuxian. When Li Xiuyuan saw that the Zhuxian sword had been broken, he was not surprised at all. He remembered that in the original story, this sword had been broken before, by the Beast God.

It was understandable that he was interrupted by the Six-Eared Macaque at this moment. In Li Xiuyuan's mind, most of these people were human immortal level experts, so the Beast God should be at the celestial immortal level.

On the other hand, the Six-Eared Macaque possessed the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, which was by no means weaker than a Celestial Immortal-level expert. Furthermore, with the support of the Qiankun Staff, the Immortal Execution Sword was broken.

what?

When everyone saw the Zhuxian Sword being broken, they were all horrified at almost the same time.

It should be noted that this sword was found by the Qingyun Sect's patriarch, Qingye, in the Illusion Moon Cave and became the sect's most treasured artifact. However, no one expected that it would break one day.

Meanwhile, in the ancestral hall behind Qingyun Sect, an old man stared blankly at Dao Xuan in the sky. He couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to appear. When the sect was in danger, he naturally had to rush forward.

The Six-Eared Macaque was somewhat surprised to see that Dao Xuan was still alive. It chuckled and said, "You old man, your skills are mediocre, but the ancient sword in your hand is something that makes me very wary."

Now that your sword has been broken, I'd like to see what else you've got up your sleeve.

As it spoke, the stick in its hand swung down again, seemingly ordinary, but the power it contained was more than a million pounds.

As long as one is a cultivator who refines their body, their physical strength is unmatched in the same realm. The Six-Eared Macaque is far stronger than Dao Xuan. If it weren't for the Immortal Execution Sword, he would have been killed with a single blow.

Chapter 230 Divine Sword Soul

After he finished speaking, the Six-Eared Macaque swung his Universe Cudgel again.

Dao Xuan Zhenren once again drew his sword to fight back, but this time the Six-Eared Macaque was going all out, his huge club crushing down.

Seeing that Dao Xuan was in danger, everyone simultaneously attacked the Six-Eared Macaque. At this moment, the only one who could turn the tide was Dao Xuan.

After all, he wields the Immortal Execution Sword and is currently the number one person in the Qingyun Sect.

"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple transforms into divine thunder, its majestic heavenly power drawn forth by the sword."

"The righteousness of heaven and earth will last forever. We don't seek to kill immortals, but kill ghosts and gods!"

The leaders of the various peaks of Qingyun exchanged glances and simultaneously unleashed the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, while Wan Jianyi unleashed the Demon-Slaying Technique.

The Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, the Ghost-Slaying Technique, the Sword Leading Azure Dragon Technique, and the Heavenly Ice Falling to Earth Technique of the Qingyun Sect are collectively known as the Four True Sword Techniques, which are the four most powerful extraordinary techniques of the Qingyun Sect.

Rumble!

A dazzling light emanated from the sky, and Dao Xuan Zhenren staggered back two steps. Then, a whooshing sound was heard, and a figure in black appeared in the air, catching the Zhuxian Sword in his hand.

However, it was Dao Xuan Zhenren who was severely injured in the fierce battle with the Six-Eared Macaque, and he could no longer even hold his sword. In addition, the other peak leaders were not in much better condition.

Even though the group of people had joined forces to fight off the enemy, they still couldn't escape unscathed from the Six-Eared Macaque's club.

After that blow landed, it severely damaged everyone's souls. After the Qiankun Staff merged with the Bloodthirsty Staff, it carried its attributes and could knock away other people's souls.

"Wan Jianyi!"

All eyes were focused on the old man in the air. His face was withered and wrinkled as if cut by a knife. This man was none other than Wan Jianyi, who was as famous as Dao Xuan in the Qingyun Sect.

But he disappeared many years ago, and there are even rumors that he died. In reality, he lives in seclusion in the ancestral hall behind Qingyun Sect, guarding it day after day.

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded throughout the heavens and earth, causing the earth to tremble even more violently. The golden halos on the Seven Peaks had reached their final moment and finally vanished completely.

Amidst the thunder, the formation of the seven mountain peaks was activated once more, and the original Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation merged together, making the sword seem even more formidable in Wan Jianyi's hands.

After witnessing this fight, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that the Zhuxian Sword was indeed one of the four swords of the Tongtian Sect Master. The true Zhuxian Sword Formation was composed of the Zhuxian Sword, the Luxian Sword, the Xianxian Sword, the Juexian Sword, and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

Legend has it that this is the first killing formation of the Heavenly Dao since the beginning of time. It is an unparalleled formation that dominates the killing and destruction of the Heavenly Dao. It is the founding treasure and protective formation of the Tongtian Jie Sect.

A sage's formation cannot be broken without the combined efforts of four sages.

The sword formation is mysterious and unpredictable, fraught with danger and boundless killing intent.

Anyone who is not a sage of the Heavenly Dao, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, will be instantly reduced to ashes upon entering this formation.
