Even now, as the evil corpse takes the helm, this pride surpasses all else!

Facing the interrogation of Yuanshi Tianzun, Sect Hierarch Tongtian says not a word, turning to leave directly.

Witnessing this demeanor, Yuanshi Tianzun vaguely senses that the Tongtian before him is not the same as the third brother he knew well, but this does not affect the surge of anger in his heart. With a direct flourish, he wields the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to block Sect Hierarch Tongtian, bellowing, "Tongtian, stop right there!"

Sect Hierarch Tongtian, without turning his head, sweeps his large sleeve and sends the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi flying away.

Then looking back at Yuanshi Tianzun, he says coldly, "Don't block my way!"

Instantly, Yuanshi Tianzun's anger flares uncontrollably, his face unable to maintain its indifference.

He had been meditating and cultivating within his Daoist sanctuary when, without any warning, someone came knocking, spewing arrogant demands for him to come out and be beaten.

Let alone that he is a Saint.

Even any other Immortal God would not tolerate such an insult!

Moreover, the recent clamor was earth-shattering, and it's likely that every creature within tens of thousands of miles around the main peak of Kunlun Mountain heard it crystal clear. It would inevitably spread throughout the Primordial in a short time.

After all, Sect Hierarch Tongtian personally came to Kunlun Mountain to provoke Yuanshi Tianzun — such explosive news would surely excite the many Immortal Gods of the Primordial instantly.

If he were to let Sect Hierarch Tongtian leave like this today, his face as a Saint would be utterly lost!

Every Immortal God in the entire Primordial would mock him!

Therefore, he could by no means let Sect Hierarch Tongtian leave so easily!

Right away, he materializes in front of Sect Hierarch Tongtian and snarls coldly, "I speak to you in good faith, but not only do you not listen, you are also rude to me!"

Sect Hierarch Tongtian glances at him and mocks, "What good faith, I see you're hell-bent on targeting my Jie Sect!"

In this moment, Sect Hierarch Tongtian, despite being under the control of the evil corpse, is still Sect Hierarch Tongtian. However, his temperament is undoubtedly much more volatile and fierce, and he lacks roundabout ways, confronting Yuanshi Tianzun directly.

"Your Jie Sect harbors filth and corruption; it should have been put in order long ago!"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowns slightly, his gaze fixed on Sect Hierarch Tongtian, eyes filled with deep suspicion, and he states gravely, "I intended to discuss matters with you, yet you treat me as an enemy..."

Before he could finish his words, Sect Hierarch Tongtian, sneering, cuts him off, "I have no time for your nonsense. Make way quickly, or don't blame me for setting up the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation here!"

Yuanshi Tianzun instantly flies into a rage, "Scoundrel! Do you think I am afraid of you!"

Sect Hierarch Tongtian looks at him and coldly replies with a smirk, "If you are not afraid, then let's have a bout."

As he speaks, his Qingping Sword trembles slightly, and immediately four Immortal Swords, each of a different design, appear out of thin air.

At that moment, a boundless surge of fierce and malicious Qi sweeps towards Kunlun Mountain from all directions, from both Nine Heavens and the earth.

Yuanshi Tianzun's pupils contract, and the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

He never would have dreamt that Sect Hierarch Tongtian before him would act immediately upon speaking, and what's more, begin with the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

He was courting a fight to the death!

Yuanshi Tianzun was not exactly afraid of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

Although the Sword Formation showed its terrifying power in that previous conflict between Dao and Demon, when Hong Jun Daoist bequeathed the formation to Sect Hierarch Tongtian, he had mentioned that it could not be broken unless all four Saints were present. However, Yuanshi Tianzun himself also had a powerful trump card with absolute confidence in it.

But this didn't mean he wanted to fight Sect Hierarch Tongtian to the death!

Everyone was a player of the game, sitting in their respective sanctuaries playing the chess of Dao — wasn't that a good life?

Was it not too far to reach a point of desperation where they must fight until everything was lost?

Why suddenly gamble with life!

Seeing the hesitation on Yuanshi Tianzun's face, Tongtian Sect Hierarch looked at him with disdain and sneered: "You dare not accept the challenge? I advise you to brag less usually, or else when the time comes to act and you dare not accept the challenge, you only lose your reputation for nothing."

Yuanshi Tianzun, upon hearing the mockery, how could he bear it?

Immediately, he became furious and said: "Do you think you can do as you please just because you have the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation? Since you wish for death, I shall fulfill your desire!"

However, Tongtian Sect Hierarch shook his head, looking disinterested, "I have other matters to attend to right now. The grievance between us can be settled another day."

With that, he turned around and left.

How could Yuanshi Tianzun let him leave, he shouted loudly: "How dare you, Tongtian! Today, I must see what capabilities you really have!"

With those words, he directly sacrificed a Chaos Treasure Pearl.

This Treasure Bead, called the Chaos Pearl, contained infinite Chaos Qi and could also evolve into a Great Thousand World.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Tongtian Sect Hierarch was trapped within the Chaos Pearl.

He looked up and saw that inside the Chaos Pearl, a Great Thousand World had been formed.

Above his head, the galaxy was dazzling, below his feet, the mountains were boundless.

But a single Treasure Bead naturally could not trap a Saint, and thus Yuanshi Tianzun followed into the Chaos Pearl, wielding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and struck directly at Tongtian Sect Hierarch.

"How dare you!"

Tongtian Sect Hierarch roared, with the Four Swords of Slaying Immortal around him vibrating together, each releasing a terrifying power of Heavenly Dao Killing Power, all merging into the Qingping Sword, and then directly confronting the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

"Bang!"

The two Spiritual Treasures collided, and the terrifying fluctuations instantly swept in all directions.

Tens of thousands of stars overhead shattered in an instant, turning into a dazzling rain of light falling down, creating a spectacular scene.

The space where the two Saints stood also shattered, with the raging elements of earth, water, fire, and wind surging wildly, cutting their bodies like numerous sharp blades.

However, with their Realm, even if they did nothing, this broken space would not be able to harm them at all.

"Is that all you're capable of?"

Tongtian Sect Hierarch sneered, his voice cold and piercing.

At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun also finally realized something was wrong.

"You are not Tongtian... Wrong, your breath is unmistakable, but you... Are you the evil corpse of Tongtian? Wait, haven't you scattered your good and evil corpses after achieving Sainthood? Why is the evil corpse suppressing your true self?"

Yuanshi Tianzun, after all, had been with Tongtian Sect Hierarch for countless years and knew many secrets that ordinary people did not.

Therefore, he quickly discerned that the Tongtian Sect Hierarch in front of him was indeed the evil corpse in control.

"I am Tongtian! Tongtian is me!"

Angered by Yuanshi Tianzun exposing his identity, Tongtian Sect Hierarch roared loudly and wielding the Qingping Sword, he slashed forward.

In that instant, the hovering Four Swords of Slaying Immortal simultaneously followed and slashed toward Yuanshi Tianzun.

The boundless malevolent and fierce Qi from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates and Nine Heavens and Ten Earths was instantly transformed into the Heavenly Dao Killing Power, condensed into a magnificent sword light that slashed out, instantly annihilating the world, causing a great part of the world to explode, turning to dust, and then completely returning to chaos.

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression changed, and a vast Qingyun Cloud immediately appeared overhead to protect himself.

He didn't care about the world being shattered in the blink of an eye, rather stared at Tongtian Sect Hierarch thoughtfully, his heart filled with mixed feelings, not knowing what to think.
