Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The God-Slaying Spear swept through the land with unrestrained ferocity, smashing everything in its path, from pipa lutes to giant umbrellas. The Four Heavenly Kings were scattered and forced to flee.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Tianwang mustered his courage and roared, "Demon! Do you know that you've already stormed the Southern Heavenly Gate! Stop now!"

Li Xiuyuan ignored him completely and charged forward with his God-Slaying Spear. Li Tianwang was terrified and exclaimed, "Am I, Li Jing, going to die here today?"

Just then, a cold snort rang out, saying, "Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva! You have truly gone too far in bullying my Heavenly Court!"

After saying that, a golden dragon sword came out and blocked the God-Slaying Spear Black.

Li Tianwang panicked and turned around to see the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West arriving.

Li Tianwang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Greetings, Jade Emperor. This demon possesses great magical power, and I am unable to subdue her. I beg the Great Heavenly Venerable to punish me."

The Jade Emperor's face turned solemn, completely devoid of his usual amiable demeanor. He simply said, "King Li, you may step down now."

Li Tianwang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked behind the Jade Emperor, then stopped.

Li Xiuyuan had played with the Jade Emperor's seven daughters, and for a moment he was too embarrassed to speak up, and the Jade Emperor would never reveal this matter.

The two sides remained deadlocked. The Jade Emperor had already realized that Li Xiuyuan was the Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, but he did not want to take action himself. Of course, he also did not want to let Li Xiuyuan go.

Li Xiuyuan knew that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were the young boys and girls who served the Primordial Ancestor, and they were probably not to be trifled with. Especially the Jade Emperor, who was an absolute quasi-saint. Although Li Xiuyuan was not afraid, he still needed to be cautious.

After a long while, the Jade Emperor suddenly spoke, saying, "Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, today is your death day!"

The next moment, Li Xiuyuan felt the pressure of heaven and earth constantly changing, as if an unseen immortal was about to be born.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor spoke again: "Five Great Emperors, please slay this fiend for me! Uphold the majesty of my Heavenly Court!"

At that moment, the world changed, and all things shifted in an instant. Five immortals came from afar.

It was none other than the Five Great Emperors who had not appeared in the world for a long time!

The five great emperors gathered, with the one in the lead being the Central Earth Virtue Yellow Emperor. The Central Earth Virtue Yellow Emperor spoke: "Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, today you attacked the Heavenly Court. Ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals were all lost, including the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Four Duty Officers, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Thirty-Eight Divine Generals, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and the Four Heavenly Kings. They were all injured and died tragically. Today, you shall be executed."

Li Xiuyuan was unconvinced and said, "If it were me to be executed, I'm afraid none of you would be qualified!"

Upon hearing this, the five emperors were all furious! Although they were the five great emperors, they were still quite wary of Li Xiuyuan, and they immediately attacked together.

If these five emperors were to join forces, their strength would likely be comparable to that of quasi-saints.

Chapter 521 Four Emperors and Five Sovereigns

However, this is still no match for Li Xiuyuan!

Li Xiuyuan unleashed the God-Slaying Spear with all his might, determined to fight against the five Great Emperors!

However, the God-Slaying Spear was inherently powerful, and Li Xiuyuan possessed the strength of a quasi-saint. No matter how powerful the Five Emperors were, they couldn't make much of a splash.

When the five Great Emperors attacked, Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry. He still used the God-Slaying Spear to defend against the enemy, but twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls appeared above his head.

The God-Slaying Spear was already formidable, but now Li Xiuyuan had taken out the Chaos Treasure synthesized from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. The Five Emperors thought to themselves, "This is bad."

Immediately, the Chaos Pearl emitted a dazzling light, and the Five Great Emperors, unable to withstand it, retreated. They ultimately withdrew directly from the battle.

Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Old Jade Emperor, do you want to fight me too?"

The Jade Emperor simply stared intently at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Even if I don't take action, someone else will subdue you."

Just then, several more streaks of light flew over. Li Xiuyuan glanced at them and saw that they were none other than Gouchen Shangdi, Houtu Dadi, and Ziwei Dadi. If the Jade Emperor were added, the Four Emperors would be complete.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh and scold, "When did the Heavenly Court become so united? One Jade Emperor was wronged, and the other three came running over. All four emperors are gathered. What a grand display!"

The Jade Emperor possesses the strength of a quasi-saint, so it's likely that his divine transformation into the Queen Mother of the West wouldn't be much weaker.

Li Xiuyuan could handle these situations, but now that the Four Emperors had gathered, things were getting a bit complicated.

However, the odds of victory or defeat are still even, so Li Xiuyuan is not afraid.

Then, the Jade Emperor spoke up, saying, "I hope the three of you will capture this demon and protect the dignity of my Heavenly Court."

The three gods all said, "Enough, enough. Let us subdue the Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva and then explain this matter to the Sage Zhunti and the Sage Jieyin before making a decision."

The Jade Emperor did not refute this, and immediately said, "So be it, according to the words of the three gods."

At that moment, the three gods attacked together, intending to capture Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan refused, still using the God-Slaying Spear to clear a path, while the Chaos Pearl above his head surrounded him, and they fought again.

Although these three gods and the Jade Emperor are the Four Emperors, their actual strength is inferior to that of the Jade Emperor. They are all about to reach the level of a quasi-saint, but they are not yet quasi-saints.

Wang Yang, having enjoyed the intense battle with the three gods, became bold and detached the Chaos Pearl from his head, striking at the three gods.

This loophole was discovered by the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother exchanged a glance and then began to circulate their spiritual power, seemingly to activate some kind of grand formation.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan seemed to realize something, and in the blink of an eye, the three gods repelled the Chaos Pearl. The Chaos Pearl was too ferocious, and the three gods dared not attack again, and could only watch helplessly.

Li Xiuyuan sensed something was wrong. He hurriedly summoned back the Chaos Pearl, but it was too late.

It's unclear what kind of formation the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother activated, but it isolated the Chaos Pearl from the outside, preventing Wang Yang from recalling it. Li Xiuyuan was frantic.

He berated himself for being too careless, allowing the Jade Emperor to exploit the situation. However, he had no idea what kind of grand formation this was, possessing such power that even he, a near-saint, felt immense fear.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor spoke, "Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva! Even the two sages of the Western Paradise cannot save you today! This is the Zhou Tian Star Formation, one of the three great killing formations of ancient times. Even sages who enter the formation cannot break free!"

Li Xiuyuan sighed inwardly, "That old Jade Emperor actually hid such a powerful formation. I was careless. However, your formation is one of the three great killing formations of ancient times, but I also have one."

At this critical juncture, Li Xiuyuan held nothing back and deployed the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation within the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Li Xiuyuan had this idea in mind. He and the Jade Emperor were both quasi-saints, and each possessed one of the three great killing formations from ancient times. Li Xiuyuan was determined to have a showdown with them.

Let's see if his Pangu True Body, which is the source of his illness, can break his Zhou Tian Star Array, or if his Zhou Tian Star Array will be destroyed by the Jade Emperor's Zhou Tian Star Array.

A terrifying, overwhelming aura surged forth in all directions! The Pangu true form drawn by Li Xiuyuan spoke, "Jade Emperor! You possess the Zhou Tian Star Formation, one of the three great killing formations of ancient times. The Zhou Tian Star Formation is indeed well hidden. But I also possess the Du Tian Twelve Divine Fiends Formation, one of the three great killing formations of ancient times! Behold my Pangu true form, tearing apart your Zhou Tian Star Formation!"

Subsequently, the twelve awakened ancient witches each manifested themselves, fighting against the Zhou Tian Star Array with near-madness.

While the Twelve Ancient Witches were indeed formidable, the Zhou Tian Star Array was no mere boast; it was ranked alongside the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array as one of the three great killing arrays of ancient times, possessing the power to annihilate even saints.

With the emergence of the Zhou Tian Star Array, all the stars in the Zhou Tian region surged together with the array. In other words, the Zhou Tian Star Array is actually a grand array composed of countless stars in the Zhou Tian region.

If such a grand formation were left to be controlled by quasi-saints like Li Xiuyuan and the Jade Emperor, their combat power would probably have already been classified as that of saints.

However, today either the two quasi-saints will suffer heavy losses, or one of them will be defeated.

However, Li Xiuyuan could not afford to retreat, no matter what. If both sides were to suffer heavy losses, he might still be able to escape. But if he lost today's battle, the Jade Emperor, who was unharmed, would surely seize the opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop.

Given the situation, he had no choice but to fight desperately! Subsequently, the Zhou Tian Star Array grew larger and larger, gathering more and more divine power, making Li Xiuyuan nervous.

As a result, Li Xiuyuan fought even harder. The domineering primordial aura emanating from the twelve ancient witches was felt by many immortals present, even those outside the Star Array, causing them to tremble involuntarily.

Chapter 522 Breaking the Star Formation

The great formation that Li Xiuyuan transformed into was the Dutian Shensha Great Formation, one of the three great killing formations of ancient times. What it evolved from was the twelve ancient witches who were the true form of Pangu.

Its advantage lies in its might and invincibility, but the Heavenly Emperor's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array in the Heavenly Realm can continuously draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars for support, making its advantage long-lasting.

At present, Li Xiuyuan and the Jade Emperor are evenly matched, but they cannot afford to let things drag on for too long. If Li Xiuyuan were to exhaust himself, it would be disastrous. Li Xiuyuan also knows that even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and besides, this is the Jade Emperor's territory, so he should finish this matter as soon as possible.

If this drags on, Li Xiuyuan is likely to lose.

Suddenly remembering the Chaos Pearl that had fallen outside the Zhou Tian Star Array, Li Xiuyuan came up with a plan.

Furthermore, although the power of the stars in the heavens was continuously drawn upon by the Jade Emperor, the old Jade Emperor still had a hard time supporting the true form of Pangu.

At this moment, for reasons unknown, Li Xiuyuan suddenly ordered the ten ancient witches to attack the weakest point of the formation together, while the other two ancient witches protected Li Xiuyuan to prevent him from being injured by the power of the Zhou Tian stars.

This matter puzzled the Jade Emperor and many other immortals in the Heavenly Court. The power of the Zhou Tian stars was constantly converging into the great formation. What Li Xiuyuan should do was to break the formation directly with force and completely shatter the Zhou Tian star formation in order to break free.

However, to the surprise of the Jade Emperor and the others, Li Xiuyuan actually mobilized ten ancient witches to use their supernatural abilities to attack a weak point.

If that's the case, even if a small opening is managed to be made, it will be quickly closed up by the continuous flow of the power of the stars, making it impossible for Wang Yang to escape.

At this moment, for some reason, the Jade Emperor felt something was suspicious. It was approaching the level of a quasi-saint, and he was able to predict some things.

Unlike the other immortals, who all laughed and cursed Li Xiuyuan as a fool.

At this moment, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who had been holding back for a long time, finally cursed, "Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, are you digging up a grave? Why are you smashing things in one place?!"

It makes sense. Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, had been chased and beaten by Li Xiuyuan, and he had completely lost face. Seeing Li Xiuyuan in such a dejected state, it was only natural that he would scold him.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care. Heaven knows what he, Li Xiuyuan, wanted to do. But if he succeeded, once he was out of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, he would definitely beat this Heavenly King Li to a pulp!

Furthermore, the power of the stars in the heavens was inexhaustible and immense, and even though the ten ancient witches worked together, the effect was not good. Li Xiuyuan shook his head and sent one of the ancient witches from the Divine Transformation Sect to attack the weak point together.

Even the Jade Emperor was puzzled, but both he and Li Xiuyuan were near-saints, and neither could fathom the other's intentions. He could only think to himself, "I really don't know what this lewd monk is up to!"

It was at this moment that the eleven ancient shamans, working together, finally made some progress, but they still couldn't completely open a small hole; they only made that part of the Zhou Tian Star Array much weaker.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's actions, the immortals all mocked him. Although they were enlightened immortals, they were all equally rude when it came to being unpleasant, and they uttered all sorts of words.

Li Xiuyuan was so angry he was practically fuming, but being trapped in the formation, he could only silently endure it. However, he secretly resolved that once he was out of the formation, he would use the Chaos Pearl to send this whole bunch of immortals to report to King Yama!

Just as the many immortals were mocking him, the Jade Emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, if you submit, I will spare your life. What do you say?!"

Li Xiuyuan ignored him and laughed, "If you withdraw the great formation and submit, how about we let this matter rest?"

The Jade Emperor was furious upon hearing this, realizing that Li Xiuyuan had instigated the whole affair, raping all seven of his daughters on Mount Tai. It was infuriating; he wanted nothing more than to tear Li Xiuyuan apart alive!

Unfortunately, Li Xiuyuan's supernatural powers were extraordinary, and his various weaknesses were no less than his own. Only after years of forbearance and the use of the Zhou Tian Star Formation could he finally trap him.

However, when Li Xiuyuan approached, he fought his way from the ground to the South Heavenly Gate, injuring and crippling countless immortals and generals! In the end, even the Five Emperors and Four Sovereigns could not subdue him.

Only at the last moment, taking advantage of Li Xiuyuan's carelessness, did they trap him within the Zhou Tian Grand Array while he was fighting the other three gods. But now Li Xiuyuan wants to erase this matter.

Not to mention the countless casualties and the weakened state of the Heavenly Court in the Immortal Realm, if the two Li Xiuyuan cannot be completely defeated, the Heavenly Court will lose all face if this matter is spread in the future.

The Jade Emperor grew increasingly furious. His seven daughters had been forcibly raped by Li Xiuyuan, who had taken their virginity from them. He sent troops to arrest him, but Li Xiuyuan instead ravaged the entire Heavenly Court.

In the end, only by taking action himself could he be evenly matched with Li Xiuyuan. He used all the methods he had kept hidden for many years, but he still could not do anything to Li Xiuyuan.
