Chapter Eighteen: The Magical Path Competes

  Luoyi's first move was to disable a powerful deity, which made all the other deities feel a chill and become vigilant.

  Luó Huì burst into another fit of maniacal laughter, "How is it that you ants still refuse to submit?" Luó Huì's eyes swept across these powerful beings, fixing intently on the Three Pure Ones, a fierce glint flashing in his gaze. As it happened, Luó Huì was originally the embodiment of the evil intentions of the 3,000 Demon Gods, and there was a great causal connection between them. The 3,000 Demon Gods had been slain by Pán Gǔ, and the Three Pure Ones were the incarnations of Pán Gǔ's primordial spirit. Naturally, there existed a profound karmic relationship between them. As soon as the Three Pure Ones saw Luó Huì appear, they felt a thread of fear from deep within their hearts, an obscure sense of causality putting them on high alert against Luó Huì.

  Luó Huī saw San Qing and his eyes turned red with anger, he didn't say a word and immediately took out the Xiāo Hún Mó Dāo, this pre-heavenly treasure, and rushed towards San Qing to kill him. Lǎo Zi was shocked and hastily took out the Tiān Dì Líng Lóng Xuán Huáng Tǎ, using its power to protect the three of them together. Luó Huī saw that San Qing had such a powerful protective treasure and increased his magical powers, continuing to urge on, the Xiāo Hún Mó Dāo's black aura grew stronger, San Qing was only at the level of the Great Luo, but Luó Huī was already comparable to Zhǎn Sān Shī's quasi-saint, plus he was a demon ancestor with the Huì Zhōu Mó Shén transmission, and his full strength was almost on par with that of a saint.

  Three Purities urged the sacred light, the aura of merit and magic of the Xuan Huang Pagoda were in a fierce battle, Three Purities gradually couldn't resist anymore, after all, the gap between their cultivation was too big. All of Three Purities' heart and soul were focused on urging the pagoda, they didn't even have the energy to urge the Open Heaven Way. The three people's faces were covered with sweat, almost unable to hold on.

  Luoyi saw that he couldn't take down the Three Purities for a while, so he couldn't help but sacrifice another treasure. This was a set of four treasures, the Four Treasures Sword, which were the four swords of extermination and absolute destruction, pre-heavenly killing and slashing treasures, with huge sword edges directly stabbing at the Three Purities.

  Tongtian's face couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression, and Yuanshi was also extremely terrified. Even Laozi, who seemed to be above all worldly concerns, raised his white eyebrows and frantically urged on his magical powers. Upon seeing this scene, Yijian even felt a hint of amusement in his heart, probably because he would never again see the Three Pure Ones in such a sorry state.

  The sword tip arrived in the blink of an eye, and each of the Three Purities forced out a bit of their essence blood. The Three Purities were originally transformed from their primordial spirits, and this essence blood contained the primordial spirits of the three people. The Three Purities had already prepared to stake everything.

  At this moment, a picture appeared in front of the Three Purities, transforming into a golden bridge that blocked the attack of the Four Swords of the Exterminating Immortals, and the Three Purities couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  As soon as the Taiji diagram appeared, I knew that Hong Jun Lao Zu might have made a move. Only he could withstand Luo Hui. However, the Taiji diagram was something I had seen before - it was the congenital spiritual treasure of the Taiji Dao people back then. I even fought with them three times, but I never thought that this treasure would fall into Hong Jun's hands. Could it be that the Dao Ancestor also engaged in robbery and hijacking?

  Actually, the Taiji diagram was able to fall into Hong Jun's hands, but it wasn't snatched away. On that day, after the Taiji Daoist escaped, he found the Yin Yang Daoist and they discussed it together. Afraid of being pursued, they first fled to the extreme western region, planning to take a detour back to Wuliang Mountain.

  Just as they met Luo Yu, Luo Yu had not yet cut off the three corpses, and his cultivation was far from being so high. However, he was not to be underestimated by Taiji and Yin Yang. With one move, the Yin Yang cultivator was caught by Luo Yu. The Taiji cultivator revealed the precious Taiji diagram and burned his primordial spirit to escape quickly. Luo Yu did not expect Taiji to have such a treasure, and in a moment of carelessness, he let Taiji get away, chasing after him tightly from behind.

  The Taiji Daoist was already injured, and now he was burning his primordial spirit, the loss was enormous. He suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the north of Honghuang, just arriving at Yu Jing Mountain, which was also the place where the Dao Ancestor was in seclusion. Luo You caught up, raised his Soul-Devouring Demon Knife, and with one slash, he thoroughly shattered the Taiji Daoist's primordial spirit. Just as Luo You was about to take the Taiji Diagram, a chaotic sword aura arrived, causing him to hesitate for a moment. The Taiji Diagram fell into someone else's hands. An old Daoist appeared, with white hair and a frail appearance, holding a large banner, staring intently at Luo You - it was Hongyuan Daozu.

  Luó Huī saw the Daoist collecting his spoils of war and couldn't help but burst into a fit of rage. Moreover, the demonic path was originally an arch-nemesis to the Daoist path. As soon as Luó Huī saw the Dao Ancestor appear, he swung the demonic knife in his hand, directly attacking the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor also knew that the opponent was the Demon Ancestor and didn't hesitate to swing the Pangu fan, with both of them engaging in a fierce battle, unable to gain the upper hand for the time being.

  The two fought for a long time without falling, Luo Yu gradually fell into the wind, and the magic weapon in his hand was slightly inferior to Hong Jun's. Luo Yu sacrificed another magic weapon, which was the Destroying Black Lotus. The Taoist also sacrificed a protective treasure, the Pure Water Bowl, and they fought again. Luo Yu then sacrificed the Heavenly Demon Tower. Hong Jun was not willing to show weakness, and when it came to sacrificing magic weapons, perhaps no one could surpass Hong Jun. The Taoist sacrificed the Mountain and River Map.

  Luóu had been fighting with Hóngjūn for a long time, but the latter seemed to have endless methods. Luóu was furious and had the intention of retreating. Suddenly, Hóngjūn took out the Kunlun Mirror, a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure that could reverse space-time. In an instant, Luóu's figure paused, and a sword energy struck his arm in that brief moment.

  Luó Huì was defeated and retreated, Dao Zu knew that Luó Huì's fate had not yet been exhausted, so he didn't pursue him. The first confrontation between the two ended with Hong Jun's victory. Although Luó Huì was injured, he also gained something - he realized that his greatest enemy was indeed Hong Jun, whose magical treasure was even more powerful than his own. To counter Dao Zu, Luó Huì devoted himself to cultivating and refining the Xian Jian sword array, ultimately triggering the greatest showdown in the demonic path.

  At this time, the battlefield in front of Bu Zhou Mountain was again at a stalemate with the appearance of Dao Zu. The divine powers of Hong Huang once again had a backbone, and the extremely old Hong Jun seemed to be the embodiment of the Tao, making him look very kind and gentle yet unapproachable.

  The protagonist of this catastrophe has appeared, and one's own opportunity lies here. Whether the Lotus Grand Dao can succeed depends on this last Black Lotus. It must be obtained, but it may also depend on the face of the Dao Ancestor.

  "Luōu, Heaven has the virtue of giving life, a cultivator should embody the heart of heaven, follow the way of heaven, how can you wrongly create killing karma? You'd better put down your butcher's knife quickly." Hong Jun said.

  "Hong Jun, what is heaven and earth? It's just the transformation of Pangu opening up the sky. This heaven and earth are nothing but the flesh and blood of us three thousand demon gods. The heavenly way is just a small manifestation of the great way. Why must I follow it? My heart seeks the great way, no one can stop me. Whether or not to slaughter all living things is meaningless. Hong Jun, do you still have the Dao heart of the primordial demon god?"

  Jie Ying listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and it turned out that Hong Huang's success was not only due to Pangu's flesh and blood, but also the flesh and blood of 3,000 demons, which were used together to create such a vast expanse.

  "Alas, Chaos has been split open, the era of the Chaotic Demon God has come to an end, Pangu has fallen, and this road can no longer be taken."

  "Hmph, who says it's impassable? I'll just take a step forward and surpass Pangu, achieving the ultimate way."

  The essence of the struggle for the Tao has been basically understood. The Taoist founder advocates following the Heavenly Way to cultivate and achieve the Mixed Yuan, while Luo Hou advocates breaking through all obstacles, even if it is the Heavenly Way, which must be broken through. To be fair, Luo Hou is not wrong either. Cultivation is about overcoming difficulties and breaking through all obstacles in order to achieve the Supreme Tao.

  Of course, the natural way will stand on the side of the Taoist ancestor, and the Taoist ancestor may ultimately win because of this.

  "Hong Jun, we don't seem to see eye to eye, let's settle this with our strength." Luo Yun stood atop the Tianmo Tower, his feet trampling the Mie Shi Hei Lian, his hand wielding the Xiao Hun Mo Dao, charging straight for Hong Jun.

  The ancestor of Taoism let out a long sigh, raised the Taiji diagram in his hand, stepped on the Golden Bridge, and waved the ancient banner in his hand. The two men fought together.

  "Does Escort still recognize me?" A black-clad man under Luo Hui smiled at them.

  "Oh, does Fellow Daoist know us brothers? The guide looked at this gloomy cultivator with a dark aura and secretly guarded against him."

  "Haha, don't you recognize me?" As he spoke, the dark energy on his face dissipated, revealing his true appearance. The guide's eyes widened in surprise as he took a closer look, and to his astonishment, this Taoist was actually the Yin-Yang Taoist.

  That day, Luo Yu captured Yin and Yang and felt that killing such a pre-heavenly great god would be a waste. To expand his power, he infused the demon soul into the body of the Yin-Yang Taoist, turning him into a puppet under his control. The Yin-Yang Taoist was renamed Tianmozi and became Luo Yu's top general.

  This is called meeting an enemy, with eyes redder than usual. Tianmozi rushed to meet the approaching Jieyin, who was about to make a move. Accidentally, Zhunti saw that his own brothers were fighting the main force, and he himself was just helping out on the side. Not wanting to rely solely on his brother's protection, with a flick of his wrist, the Seven Treasures Mysterious Tree appeared in front of Jieyin.

  "Big brother, little brother will take over for a while," Zhun Ti said.

  Just take a look and you'll understand, Zhunti is also competitive and doesn't want to be a mere spectator. He wants to try his hand and see how far he can go. Looking at this Yin Yang cultivator, Tianmozi's skills have improved greatly, and his cultivation has probably reached the point where half of his foot has stepped into the Mixed Yuan realm. However, Zhunti carries two great treasures on him, the Breaking and Creating Great Dao, which have already reached an extremely high level. In terms of fighting skills, he is absolutely stunning. Let's let him try it out and show off a bit, so that in the future, there won't be any troublemakers who don't know their own strength.

  Luoyi had twelve demon envoys under his command, and there were also many pre-birthed great gods on this side. The two sides stared at each other, with Taiyi making the first move, urging the Donghuang Bell to charge forward. Emperor Jun, East Wang Gong, Lei Ze Dadi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Haitao Laozu, Fuxi, West Queen Mother, Kunpeng, and Nüwa joined the battle as well.

  It is said that there is also a vote-seeking saying, asking fellow Taoists for their generosity, haha, I have signed the contract, everyone please support it.
