As of now, the battle at Chaoge is in full swing, with the conflict between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect intensifying.

"Third brother, what brings you here?" Yuanshi Tianzun's voice was deep, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Tongtian, the Sect Hierarch of Jie Sect, responded in a deep voice, repeating what he had just said, and then stated solemnly: "This matter concerns the safety of the Three Realms, therefore, I must inform my two elder brothers no matter what."

Yuanshi Tianzun raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze shifted to Taiching Saint, his expression becoming complicated: "Are you trying to deceive me with these words? The battle of Chaoge is at its peak, and we both know that Xi Qi definitely has the upper hand if this continues to the end. Are you trying to buy time for the Jie Sect by saying this now?"

Tongtian's expression darkened, and anger burned in his eyes: "These words are unjust! How could I, Tongtian, be such a despicable person!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was about to say something when he pouted his lips.

"Enough!" Taiching Saint suddenly spoke up, interrupting their argument. His voice carried an invisible authority that made the entire palace tremble.

Taiching Saint's gaze swept over the two, finally resting on Tongtian: "Third brother, since you are so adamant, present your evidence."

Taking a deep breath, Tongtian knew this was his only chance, and began to detail his observations at Zixiao Palace and the evil thoughts that controlled him. His words were full of determination and sincerity, compelling involuntary belief.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun remained dismissive after listening.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's disbelief, anger rose in Tongtian's heart, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, his voice tinged with uncontrollable scorn: "Chan Sect? In my eyes, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs. If I wanted to destroy Chan Sect, it wouldn't take any effort at all, there's no need for deceit."

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened immediately, his eyebrows furrowed, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes. As one of The Three Pure Ones, he would not tolerate such an insult. He said coldly: "Fine! Since you are so confident, then let's decide the outcome outside the city of Chaoge between our two sects!"

Tongtian scoffed coldly, said no more, and turned to leave in a huff.

Yuanshi Tianzun watched Tongtian leave, then turned to Taiching Saint and said, "Brother, I hope you can lend your aid when the time comes."

Taiching Saint opened his eyes, his gaze as deep as the ocean. He slowly shook his head: "This matter is no small affair; I have my plans. Rest assured, I will not let the Three Realms fall into chaos."

Yuanshi Tianzun, hearing this, nodded slightly; the anger on his face gradually subsided, replaced by an inscrutable calm.

Their conversation echoed in the palace, and outside the Eight Sceneries Palace, the sky was gathering dark clouds, as if foretelling the storm that was about to come.

Tongtian hurriedly returned to Penglai Immortal Island, his mood still heavy, but his resolve was set; he must take swift action.

Upon arriving at Biyou Palace, he immediately ordered Water Fire Boy to summon Yu Yuan. Seeing the grave expression on Tongtian, Water Fire Boy did not dare to delay and immediately transformed into a rainbow, flying to Yu Yuan's residence.

Before long, Yu Yuan hurried to Biyou Palace, his face carrying a hint of surprise, clearly puzzled by the urgent summoning by Tongtian.

Tongtian wasted no time in idle talk, directly taking out the Array Map of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation and handing it to Yu Yuan, his voice steady and strong: "Yu Yuan, I need you to go to the outskirts of Chaoge city immediately and set up the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation. This matter is of utmost importance and cannot be delayed."

Yu Yuan took the Array Map, his expression solemn. He knew the power of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation was extraordinary, once activated, it would have an earth-shattering effect. Looking at Tongtian, a flicker of respect flashed in his eyes: "Ancestor, I will handle it immediately."

Tongtian nodded, watching Yu Yuan leave, his heart anxious, but he knew that only calmness could handle the upcoming storm.

Entrusted by Tongtian, Yu Yuan's heart was also tumultuous. He had no doubts about Tongtian's words, but he was somewhat puzzled by the attitudes of Taiching Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun. He felt that even if the two Saints did not believe Tongtian, facing such a significant matter, they should personally investigate at Zixiao Palace instead of concluding hastily.

Although Yu Yuan had these doubts, he knew that now was not the time to pursue these issues. Clutching the Array Map tightly in his hand, he transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the outskirts of Chaoge city.

Outside Chaoge city, the wind was rising and clouds were surging, seemingly sensing the impending power of the Sword Array. Yu Yuan stood on an open ground, his hands moving the mystic arts, and the Array Map slowly unfolded in his hands, as complex runes and lines began to appear on the ground.

His figure moved through the Array Map, each step precise, each formation setup accurate. His Mana continuously poured into the Array Map, and the runes on it began to emit dazzling light, the entire Sword Array appearing like a giant beast's claw slowly opening, awaiting its prey.

The Slaying Immortal Sword Array activated, instantly causing Heaven and Earth to change color.

In an instant, the wind and clouds transformed, and the atmosphere between Heaven and Earth was filled with a stifling energy.

The Slaying Immortal Formation

unleashed boundless Evil Qi from Heaven and Earth. Ferocious and vile energies converged from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, forming an unmatched killing intent. Black smoke spread throughout the formation, suffocating those inside.

Jiang Ziya stood on the battlements of Chaoge city, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds towards the distance. A slight worry, hard to detect, flashed in his eyes. The changing celestial phenomena outside Chaoge city intensified his unease. Suddenly, a strong killing aura surged to the sky, causing even the soldiers below the battlements to feel a chill in their hearts.
