Minghe found himself in a dire situation, completely at the mercy of others!
Tongtian, that scoundrel, was kicking him while he was down – truly a terrible person!
"This time, I'll see you dead!" Tongtian sneered, unleashing a boundless wave of sword energy. Minghe's face was grim, his God-Slaying Spear dancing furiously to form an impenetrable defense!
Alas, it was no use against the Immortal Slaying sword energy. Tongtian, that scoundrel, even resorted to sneak attacks, having struck him many times with the Seven-Star Sword!
"Ah, Tongtian, we'll settle this!" Minghe roared!
He was then engulfed by the boundless Immortal Slaying sword energy and finally dissipated. Tongtian had indeed killed Minghe once. However, Minghe's primordial spirit was unique, immortal, and blessed by the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to resurrect directly in the Great Desolation.
Upon resurrection, Minghe, his face pale, cast a glance at the chaos outside and fled without looking back!
He ran towards his Asura Path!
Having dealt with his opponent, Tongtian also descended from the chaos. He knew that his second brother could easily handle Zhunti, needing no assistance from him. Tongtian was now heading towards Shouyang Mountain!
Indeed, within the chaos, Yuanshi had Zhunti completely subdued. Zhunti was beaten beyond recognition!
Yet, Zhunti proved surprisingly resilient, surviving countless surges of chaotic sword energy from Heavenly Venerable Yuanshi without perishing!
"I'm done playing with you. Die!" Yuanshi disdainfully scoffed. His divine treasures emerged simultaneously, and the chaotic sword energy condensed into a colossal sword of chaos, which he brought down upon Zhunti!
Zhunti let out a piteous cry and vanished completely into the chaos!
Only then did Yuanshi retrieve his divine treasures, descend from the chaos, and head towards Shouyang Mountain!
Meanwhile, on Shouyang Mountain, Laozi had imprisoned Jieyin within the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, while simultaneously suppressing Nuwa with the Thirty-Six-Rank Creation Green Lotus!
He was fighting two opponents at once, holding his own!
If not for his concern for the Great Desolation, Laozi would have unleashed his full power!
It was precisely because they were within the Great Desolation, not the boundless chaos, that Taiqing Laozi found himself constrained, his movements hampered as he merely suppressed the two.
"Big Brother, I've come to assist you!" At this moment, Tongtian arrived!
Nuwa and Jieyin's expressions changed drastically. They knew that Tongtian commanded the Immortal Slaying Sword Array, which only the Four Saints could break. With Tongtian's arrival, it was evident that Minghe must have fled.
Nuwa quickly said, "Eldest Brother, we concede!"
Jieyin quickly added, "Indeed, Li Er has already pacified the demon race. There's no need for us to continue fighting!"
Taiqing Laozi remained unmoved. Did they think they could fight or stop fighting as they pleased? What a delusion!
Tongtian laughed heartily, "Big Brother, it's restrictive here. When Second Brother arrives, we'll take them to the chaos and have a proper fight!"
Nuwa and Jieyin's faces turned grim upon hearing this. If they were taken to the chaos, they would surely be beaten to death!
The reason they dared to confront Taiqing Laozi was precisely because they were in the Great Desolation. If they truly went all out, the Great Desolation would shatter, and that was something the Heavenly Dao would never tolerate. Suffering punishment from the Heavenly Dao afterward would be unpleasant for everyone.
At this moment, Tongtian stood guard outside. Soon, Yuanshi also arrived. The two exchanged glances and nodded, their meaning clear: they had both dealt with their respective opponents.
Subsequently, Tongtian and Yuanshi exerted their combined strength, dragging Nuwa and Jieyin towards the chaos!
Taiqing Laozi smiled faintly and followed. This time, if these two were not taught a lesson, they would truly fail to recognize who the true elder brother of the Great Desolation was!
Soon, everything that transpired here was witnessed by the powerful beings of the Great Desolation. Upon seeing the Three Pure Ones drag Nuwa and Jieyin to the chaos, everyone knew that the outcome for these two would not be good!
This incident profoundly demonstrated to all that the Three Pure Ones were the most formidable forces in the Great Desolation. Even the combined might of other Saints had been subdued by them!
In an instant, the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect became renowned, and countless individuals wished to join them!
However, the Human Sect rarely accepted disciples, and no one had ever heard of Laozi or Li Er taking on any students. The Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, on the other hand, did accept disciples, making them the targets of many.
In the chaos, Taiqing Laozi chuckled, "Second Brother, Third Brother, leave them to me!"
Then, with a flick of his finger, Taiqing Laozi summoned the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to trap Jieyin and the Thirty-Six-Rank Creation Green Lotus to suppress Nuwa!
Taiqing Laozi personally leaped forward, entering the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, and with a single punch, severely injured Jieyin's physical body!
Jieyin was greatly alarmed, as his divine treasures were rendered useless. Under the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, divine treasures found it difficult to exert their power!
Although Jieyin had also trained his body and cultivated the Eighty-Nine Xuan Gong, he was no match for Taiqing Laozi, falling far short. He was completely outmatched by Taiqing Laozi!
Within just a few dozen exchanges, Jieyin was battered into submission and forced to return to the Great Desolation to be reborn!
Taiqing Laozi glanced at Nuwa and said, "Foolish! To allow the demon race to slaughter the human race! Do you think your status as the Holy Mother of the Human Race will still be protected?"
Nuwa's expression shifted. Initially, she hadn't thought much of it, but now she realized she had acted rather rashly!
"Originally, as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, your destiny would have persisted with the human race becoming the protagonists of the world. But because of your foolish decision, countless humans were slaughtered. When the humans realize their Holy Mother is like this, how much of your thirty percent destiny can you possibly retain?" Taiqing Laozi sneered!
Nuwa's face turned ashen. This was something she had considered, but she believed that as long as the demon race won and altered the grand scheme, her destiny would remain eternal. However, seeing the attitudes of these Saints now, it seemed that the demon race becoming the protagonists of the world would be an incredibly difficult feat!
"Reflect upon your actions!" Taiqing Laozi withdrew the Thirty-Six-Rank Creation Green Lotus. After all, bullying a woman was somewhat unseemly!
At this moment, Li Er had already publicized Nuwa's decision among the human race!
The Three Ancestors of the Human Race were extremely disappointed. Was this truly their Holy Mother? Yet, their Holy Mother had bestowed upon them the grace of creation, and they should indeed worship her!
However, they could not agree with the Holy Mother's actions. Thus, upon Nuwa's return to the Great Desolation, she discovered her destiny draining away. Her original thirty percent of the human race's destiny had dwindled to a mere ten percent!
For this, Nuwa wept tears of regret. This time, she had truly lost both the lady and the soldiers!
With the additional twenty percent of destiny, Taiqing Laozi cast a glance at Yuanshi and Tongtian, nodding.
The two immediately understood, rejoiced, bowed to Taiqing Laozi, and then shamelessly proceeded!
The human race also dispatched many individuals to Kunlun and the East Sea to seek apprenticeship!
In an instant, below Kunlun Mountain, the human population grew, all eager to pass through the great formation and become disciples of a Saint!
Fuxi, meanwhile, had returned to the Heavenly Court. Seeing the outcome, he sighed. He had known this would happen and had warned Emperor Jun long ago, but Emperor Jun had not listened!
Now, all he could do was help clean up the mess!
