Chapter 226 Seizing a Glimmer of Hope!
Seeing this, Laozi and Yuanshi dared not be negligent.
We must respond immediately and with all our might.
Lao Tzu has a magnificent, mysterious pagoda above his head, impervious to all laws.
Holding a Tai Chi symbol, one can perceive the interplay of Yin and Yang.
He tried to stay still and deflect the incoming sword energy.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable was protected by auspicious clouds, and the Pangu Banner was waved repeatedly.
The chaotic energy shot out and collided with the sword energy of the Immortal Slaying Sword.
However, the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was simply too great!
The four swords, working in conjunction with the formation, generate an inexhaustible and ever-changing sword energy.
It further amplifies the power of chaotic and malevolent energy.
Although Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi were sages with boundless magical powers,
But even within the sword formation, he felt constrained.
It was like being stuck in a quagmire, only able to passively defend and wear down one's health.
It was truly difficult to break through the formation.
That terrifying sword energy was all-pervasive.
It is constantly eroding their protective treasures and the power of the saints.
This made their expressions increasingly unpleasant.
"Reaching the Heavens!"
Are you truly going to commit such a rebellious act, vowing to fight your brother to the death?!
Yuanshi Tianzun roared within the sword formation.
At this moment, several golden lotuses on his auspicious cloud had been cut off by the sword energy, and his Taoist robe had been torn in several places.
Do you even remember that I'm your brother?!
You were the ones who first cut off my chance to survive!
A chilling, ruthless voice echoed from all directions of the sword formation.
"What wrong have I, a disciple of the Jie Sect, done?"
In order to protect your own disciples, you used them to fill the gaps in the Great Calamity?
Today, I will use this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
"I demand justice for my disciple who died a tragic death!"
"Prepare to die!"
My dear brother!
With Tongtian's encouragement, the Zhuxian Sword Formation immediately began to operate rapidly!
The four swords were unleashed simultaneously, their power unparalleled, shooting towards the two men.
Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi suddenly felt immense pressure!
The Tai Chi diagram was disrupted by the sword intent of the Immortal Sword, causing its operation to become sluggish.
The chaotic sword energy of the Pangu Banner was also subtly restrained by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent.
If things continue like this, even if the two are Heavenly Saints,
If this continues to consume energy within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation...
I'm afraid I really will perish here!
"Senior Brother!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable transmitted his voice to Laozi, his tone tinged with anxiety and a hint of ruthlessness.
We can't wait any longer!
Tongtian is clearly possessed by a demon.
With the two of us, we cannot break this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!
It's time for those two to make their move...
A complex emotion flashed in Lao Tzu's eyes.
He knew that Tongtian hadn't fallen into demonic possession, but that was the situation.
Even if Tongtian hadn't fallen into demonic possession, he would have!
At the same time, he looked around at the endless killing sword energy.
Feeling his own magical power rapidly depleting, he finally made up his mind.
While deflecting the sword energy, he also aimed at a certain point in the void.
A secret thought was transmitted through the divine power of a sage.
"Gentlemen, it's time to stop watching the show!"
It's time to make a move!
Just moments after Laozi sent out his telepathic message,
Two seductive voices echoed throughout Jin'ao Island.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha!"
"Namo Cundi Buddha Mother!"
Two majestic and solemn Buddhist chants, yet utterly incongruous with the fierce battlefield filled with the swirling sword energy of the moment.
Suddenly, a sound rang out from outside the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation!
Immediately afterwards, two dazzling golden beams of Buddhist light appeared.
Like two great suns, they forcefully squeezed into the sea area shrouded by the sword intent of Zhuxian!
Within the Buddha's light, the magnificent golden bodies of the Buddhas, Jieyin and Zhunti, manifested!
The guide holds a banner of guidance, from which precious light flows.
It exudes a powerful vow to save all living beings.
It was actually subtly resisting the murderous aura of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
Zhunti's eighteen arms each hold a ritual implement, and the sword of wisdom flashes with light.
The Seven Treasures Tree shimmered with light.
Countless golden lotus phantoms descended from the sky, attempting to purify the boundless sword energy.
"Jieyin! Zhunti!"
In the center of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation,
The Tongtian Sect Leader's voice boomed with a mixture of shock and rage.
He had a bad feeling.
The advantage we just gained was immediately gone!
"Are you two going to get involved in this mess too?!"
This is an internal matter of my Xuanmen sect.
You two have already attained Buddhahood, what does it have to do with your Western Paradise?!
Retreat quickly.
Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless with my Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi!
The guide's face was filled with sorrow.
His voice, however, carried an undeniable firmness:
"The Heaven-Reaching Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation's murderous aura soars to the heavens, violating the harmony of Heaven."
It may harm innocent people and disrupt the order of the primordial world.
This Immortal-Slaying Sword is also connected to my karmic ties in the West.
Our Buddha, in His compassion, could not bear to see so many lives lost and came to stop the suffering and dispel the resentment.
We urge the leader to withdraw the evil formation and quell the war.
Zhunti also smiled with narrowed eyes.
His gaze, however, was fixed on the four swords radiating murderous aura.
"Master Tongtian, these four swords have committed too many killings and may damage your foundation as a saint."
It would be better to hand it over to the Buddhist community, where the supreme Buddhist teachings can suppress and dispel the evil energy within.
That can be considered a good deed.
Our Buddhist sect is also willing to assist the leader in disciplining his followers.
"To guide the disciples of the Jie Sect towards goodness, so that they may avoid being killed and listed on the altar."
These words sound grand and righteous, but anyone with eyes can hear how shameless they are!
This was clearly because they had anticipated that Tongtian and Laozi Yuanshi had nearly exhausted Tongtian's strength.
They wanted to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
Not only did they want to stop the battle, they also wanted to seize the Four Swords of Zhuxian!
Tong was so angry he was trembling all over; he finally understood.
No wonder Lao Tzu and Yuanshi Tianzun, knowing they possessed the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation,
They even dared to storm Jin'ao Island!
It turns out they had already colluded with those two bald monks in the West!
All that talk about "everything for the greater good" is a lie!
Their real goal is to join forces with the West.
Suppress Tongtian completely and divide up his Jie Sect!
They may have already considered the Four Swords of Zhuxian as their own!
"Great! Great! Great! Excellent!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Tongtian, enraged, laughed instead.
The laughter was filled with endless sorrow and mockery.
"Laozi! Yuanshi!"
The three of us brothers have spent so much time together!
Now, in order to deal with me,
You actually colluded with outsiders to try and kill me!
"From now on,
I, Tongtian, sever all ties with both of you; all karma between us is severed.
I no longer deign to associate with either of you!
I will never acknowledge the name of the Three Pure Ones again!
Looking at the somewhat deranged Tongtian, Laozi in the formation remained silent.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said coldly:
"Tongtian, it was you who defied the heavens first, setting up this ominous formation to harm your brother!"
The two Western saints, with their compassionate hearts, came to help, which is in accordance with the will of Heaven!
If you suddenly realize your mistake, hand over the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and surrender, you will be captured.
"Brother, perhaps we can spare your life!"
Spare my life?
Ha ha ha ha!"
Tongtian's laughter abruptly stopped.
All that remained in their eyes was a desperate, all-or-nothing madness.
"today,
If I, Tongtian, were to die and my Daoist cultivation to perish, all the immortals of the Jie Sect would be annihilated.
We will never bow down to you despicable people!
You want to take my Immortal-Slaying Sword? You want to destroy my Jie Sect?
"Then let's test it with our lives!"
That being said, he also knew that
Now the four saints are gathered together.
Even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation might not be able to withstand it!
But would Tongtian simply sit idly by and wait to die?!
He then roared:
"Disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, heed my command!"
Tongtian roared furiously, his voice echoing throughout Jin'ao Island.
"today,
Our Jie Sect has encountered an unprecedented calamity!
Traitors to the Way of Heaven collude with outsiders, seeking to destroy our lineage!
I am incompetent and may not be able to protect you all!
But we disciples of the Jie Sect would rather die than submit!
And follow your master to fight your way out of the encirclement—
Seize a glimmer of hope!
