The man was devouring, but the system was in the primordial world.

Chapter 136 Clash of Saints!

"Rumble—"

Endless thunderous power spread across the sky, and the azure hornless divine bull stood in the void, its every move blending seamlessly with the continuous mountains below.

This is magical power comparable to that of a Great Luo Immortal!

With each breath, the Kui Niu, who completely controls Liubo Mountain, shakes the heavens and earth. Gale-force winds mixed with clouds and mist obscure a large part of the view, but its captivating gaze seems to pierce through the vast sky and the netherworld.

As it opened its mouth and spat out the Thunder Spirit Pearl, it formed a blessing.

The divine power "Heavenly Punishment," which had been brewing in the dark clouds above for a long time, also displayed terrifying world-destroying power, pouring down wildly and directly blasting the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was holding the Pangu Banner, into dust.

Lingluo's fairy robes withered and scattered, turning into ashes little by little.

Only a mysterious gray banner remained, spinning rapidly in front of them, its soft surface waving and radiating a sharp, cutting-edge aura.

This is the Pangu Banner!!!

As the treasure that enabled Yuanshi Tianzun to attain sainthood, the Pangu Banner was transformed from the blade of the Pangu Axe. It contains the power to create the world and kill without incurring any karmic consequences. However, there is a great difference between the treasure in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. At least if Yuanshi Tianzun were to be in his presence, a pseudo-Daluo would never be able to stop this innate treasure.

But now a problem has arisen.

The Chan Sect has always touted itself as having high moral character, yet it is precisely these so-called virtuous and upright individuals who sent people to ambush the Kui Niu, attempting to use it as a raft to cross the river.

In this situation, if they are defeated and killed by the opponent, will they retaliate? Or will they retaliate? Or will they retaliate?

A faint, sharp glint flashed in Bai'er's eyes.

He turned his head and looked at the text flashing on the screen, his gaze landing on the latest line.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has fallen!

She schemed and plotted, thinking this was just a good opportunity to gain merit from the Emperor, but she never expected you to be so ruthless and decisive in killing her.

In the final second of his life, this Golden Immortal cultivator was filled with regret, and in his heart he kept cursing, hoping that you would die at the hands of a powerful figure from the Chan Sect.

But you disagree.

[You only retaliated by killing the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden after she attacked you. As long as you remain true to yourself and do not touch the Pangu Banner, would the Primordial Heavenly Lord really kill you personally?]

Obviously, yes.

[The moment you turned to leave, the Pangu Banner, which had been floating quietly, suddenly transformed into a stream of light and flew straight into your arms.]

Your pupils immediately contracted.

[If the Chan Sect didn't touch the Pangu Banner, they already have no excuse. But if they were to be accused of "stealing a saint's treasure," their best fate would be annihilation.]

The Kui Niu couldn't help but roar to the sky.

Terrifying lightning surged continuously toward the Pangu Banner, but under the remote control of a sage, how could mere Great Luo power possibly stop a supreme innate treasure?

The Pangu Banner eventually fell into the hands of the Kui Niu.

Then, a figure that seemed to float in the void, as if it were the source of all laws, arrived as promised, with an indifferent gaze, like the Heavenly Dao hanging high in the clear sky.

"Kui Niu, do you know your crime?"

Kui Niu suddenly burst into mocking laughter, his face showing a touch of desolation and sorrow.

"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext!"

"Back then, the Eastern King Duke, as the head of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor, attacked a minor deity without warning. The Sage has now put on a mask, but what the Sage does can be kept secret from the aquatic creatures of the East Sea and from all living beings in the primordial world. Can it really be kept secret from those powerful beings and the Sage himself?"

"The sage says I am guilty, then please tell me what crime I have committed—to the Heavenly Dao. I am willing to offer Mount Liubo as a sacrifice, to forever guard the eye of the East Sea, just to prove my innocence. Would you be willing to show this scene of time and space to all living beings in this world?"

The hoarse voice spread across the vast waters.

At this moment, the vast mountains and boundless waves seemed to have become distant, and the sound of the Kui Niu could not even be heard from the waters where they were currently located.

"Why does this matter need the witness of Heaven?"

"I sent the Mysterious Maiden to seek the treasure for the sake of humanity's glorious cause. She merely happened to pass by your Liubo Mountain and did not harm you. Who would have thought that you, you vicious bull, with your armored coat and ferocious nature, would dare to intercept me halfway and steal the treasure? Kui Niu, today I cannot let you live—"

The admonitions from the sages penetrated straight into the soul.

Kui Niu scoffed lightly, unwilling to look any longer.

Just as he was about to give up and die, a terrifying aura suddenly tore through the blockade, and a mocking female voice instantly resounded through the sky.

"Yuan Shi, how can matters of humanity be arbitrarily defined by your interpretation of right and wrong!"

"This vast and primordial world is not solely dominated by your Chan Sect. I have witnessed everything that just happened. Three Pure Ones, I cannot tolerate your shamelessness."

"I, in all my heart, request an audience with the Daoist Master Yue Jian, and ask him to bear witness."

A vast and desolate atmosphere swept across the land.

In a dim, yellowish light, it seemed as if a pair of eyes, piercing through the universe, slowly opened, looking at the world with a bewildered, all-encompassing gaze.

"Pingxin, how dare you leave the Underworld to attack!"

"Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far. The Heavenly Dao's control over the affairs of humanity is predetermined. To disrupt it like this would only invite disaster."

The voices of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Shengren rang out simultaneously.

Then a Tai Chi diagram and a Pangu banner were simultaneously blasted toward the place where the tunnel had awakened, clearly intending to stir up the waters before Yue Jianshi's will had fully awakened.

In an instant, the entire world was a blur of light and shadow. The three sages, along with the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao, descended together, reversing Yin and Yang and disrupting the order of Heaven and Earth.

Similarly, in this current battle, many powerful figures are adding fuel to the fire.

The two Westerners are the ones who did it most obviously!

Although they did not appear in person, the chanting of Buddhist hymns never stopped, clearing away the clouds to reveal the moon, trying to unravel the heavenly secrets that the Supreme Saint had confused at the speed of light.

However, the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable never made a move.

As the surrounding fog gradually dissipates, the hidden truth will soon be revealed.

"Third brother, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

In the end, the proud Yuanshi Tianzun sought help from Lingbao Tianzun.

A faint sigh echoed through the Kunlun Mountains.

Four longswords flew out in succession, their various colors flashing with light, instantly severing cause and effect and turning the world into chaos.

Then a large hand grabbed at the Kui Niu, taking away the initial and most innocent trigger from afar, silencing the entire battlefield.

"I have a special connection with this god!"

He calmly said, "I won't let this go," and turned to leave.

At the same time, the Taiqing Sage and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who had successfully prevented the tunnel from awakening, also returned to Kunlun Mountain. The text that appeared on the light screen was:

The calamity that began because of you was ultimately averted because of you.

Lingbao Tianzun was upright by nature and would never tolerate what he believed to be wrong. Faced with pressure from Yuanshi Tianzun, he found a way to satisfy both you and your brother.

You severed your innate essence, shedding your skin to become a drum.

Because you are freed from burdens and the karmic calamities, you successfully broke through to the Great Luo realm.

[The foundational turmoil caused by the loss of your original source was repaired by Lingbao Tianzun using the original source within the innate spiritual treasure, the Purple Lightning Drum. Ultimately, you shed your old body and became Lingbao Tianzun's nominal mount, the Kui Niu.]

[This simulation has ended]
