163: The Underestimated Tongtian

The battle between the two had reached a fever pitch, causing the vast East Sea to surge continuously for hundreds of millions of miles.

Violent waves spanning thousands of miles and whirlpools of ten thousand feet washed over various parts of the East Sea.

From time to time, the chime of a bell rang out, causing the surrounding Void Realm to vibrate incessantly.

With the support of the Myriad Immortals Formation, East Duke's strength had reached an unimaginable level.

However, Taiyi was also invincible by relying on the chaos bell.

The battle between the two was in a long-term stalemate.

Qing Wu watched the battle with cold indifference, showing no intention of intervening, only casually blocking the various aftershocks of the fight.

Nuwa and Yuan Feng didn't pay much attention either; instead, they were drawn to some strange spiritual plants in the area.

In the Void Realm, many great experts with powerful Divine Abilities could be seen hiding, most of whom were there to watch the show.

After all, no one wanted to be dragged into this multi-sided conflict.

However, Taiyi's ability to single-handedly confront the Immortal Court's Ten Thousand Immortals Great Formation truly shocked everyone.

It seemed that Dijun was also very confident in him, as he was in no hurry to appear with the various demons of the Heavenly Court.

"Senior Brother Tongtian, you're here too!" Nuwa called out toward a certain spot.

Immediately, the Void Realm shook, and a young man stepped out from within.

"So it's Junior Sister Nuwa, it's been a long time..."

While greeting her, Tongtian suddenly felt a gaze land on him.

Although there was no overbearing pressure from dao rhyme, it was something he could not ignore.

Tongtian looked at Yuan Feng behind Nuwa.

"This is..."

"This is Phoenix Sister," Nuwa introduced.

Tongtian was somewhat surprised; he knew she had a brother named Fuxi, but when did she get another sister?

Moreover, this sister was quite extraordinary; she looked like someone not to be trifled with.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

Tongtian felt it was better not to provoke her.

Yuan Feng nodded in response.

Although she often heard rumors of the Three Pure Ones in the Great Desolation, seeing him now, he seemed like nothing special and wasn't enough to make her care much.

Although Tongtian felt like he was being looked down upon, he could only smile slightly to ease the awkwardness.

Suddenly, another gaze landed on him, making him jump in surprise.

Tongtian turned his head, and the moment their eyes met...

He suddenly felt that this gaze contained supreme Sword Intent sweeping toward him, causing his Dao Heart to tremble slightly.

Tongtian couldn't help but take half a step back.

Buzz!

The qingping sword also manifested automatically at this moment.

"Third Brother, what is going on!"

Two more figures appeared, and a middle-aged Taoist blocked the way in front of Tongtian.

Another elderly Taoist stood behind him, pressing down on the qingping sword in Tongtian's hand.

At the same time, a small tower had appeared, ready to be activated at any moment.

The unity of the Three Pure Ones was vividly displayed at this moment.

The three of them stared warily at the green-robed Taoist across from them, speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Nuwa wanted to go up and explain, but was pulled back by Yuan Feng.

He wants to play, let him play.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time.

"So it is the Fellow Daoists of the Three Pure Ones!" Qing Wu took the initiative to speak.

He had long wanted to meet these three brothers, but unfortunately, there had never been an opportunity.

As beings formed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, all three were future Saints and played a pivotal role in the Great Desolation, making them worth befriending.

Hearing Qing Wu take the initiative to greet them, the three of them finally felt a bit more at ease.

They almost thought a battle was about to break out directly.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist!" the three of them bowed together.

At this point, Nuwa came forward to clarify things.

With her mediation, the Three Pure Ones finally let down their guard completely.

However, they were truly surprised at when Nuwa had found such a backer, and two of them at once.

But they wouldn't let this affect their Dao Heart.

After all, they were future Saints; they still had that much confidence.

After a few lines of small talk, Qing Wu and the others turned their attention back to the current battle.

"What do you all think, can East Duke achieve anything this time?"

Upon hearing this, all three shook their heads to express their views.

Don't be fooled by the fact that East Duke has temporarily suppressed Taiyi with the Myriad Immortals Formation.

But if it's this difficult just to deal with one Taiyi, how will he respond when Dijun arrives with the Heavenly Court's army?

And don't forget, the Ancestral Witches from Mount Buzhou are also on their way.

You chose this, Immortal Emperor Your Majesty.

Taishang Laozi gently stroked his long beard and gazed deeply at the battlefield: "East Duke's Foundation is unstable, and he relies entirely on the Myriad Immortals Formation. He may seem formidable, but in reality, he is like a tower built on sand, liable to collapse at a single touch."

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly: "Using the power of the immortals to act violently, yet he still has such a self-satisfied expression."

"He is nothing more than a buffoon."

Tongtian, on the other hand, observed the situation with interest, appearing quite intrigued by the Myriad Immortals Formation.

"This Myriad Immortals Formation does have some mystery to it, but unfortunately..."

As Qing Wu listened to the Three Pure Ones express their views, he thought to himself that these three were indeed just as the rumors said.

Taishang was steady and prudent, never speaking too boldly.

Yuanshi held himself in high regard; besides his two brothers, he likely looked down on most other Innate Sacred Beings.

Tongtian, meanwhile, always focused his attention elsewhere.

Nuwa chuckled upon hearing this, "My three Senior Brothers see things clearly. I'm afraid East Duke is going to take a big fall this time."

"When the time comes, will you intervene?"

Although Nuwa looked down on East Duke, he was, after all, the head of male immortals personally appointed by Hongjun.

And since she was a Saint's Disciple, it wouldn't be quite right to just watch East Duke die.

Having happened upon the Three Pure Ones, she threw the question to them.

Hearing this, the Three Pure Ones were slightly stunned, as if it were a difficult matter to handle.

They were also somewhat hesitant in their hearts.

As Saint's Disciples, they had a duty to uphold the Saint's face.

But the trouble East Duke had gotten into this time was no small matter.

This kind of Karma is not something one can easily take on; they might have the heart but not the power.

Seeing their momentary silence, Qing Wu smiled.

"If it's hard to handle, then don't handle it."

"The trouble East Duke brought upon himself should not be borne by others."

Looking at how East Duke was tainted by all sorts of strange Karma, Qing Wu also shook his head.

"In his current state, I'm afraid even the Saint wouldn't want to spare him a glance."

The eyes of the Three Pure Ones all lit up.

Yuanshi nodded, "The Fellow Daoist is right. East Duke brought this on himself; no one else is to blame."

Taishang Laozi sighed softly, "But he was, after all, appointed by the Teacher. We will step in at the end to protect a strand of his remnant soul, as an explanation to the Teacher."

Hearing this, Qing Wu became thoughtful.

East Duke's Reincarnation seemed to have some connection with Taishang Laozi; that Pure Yang Sword Immortal seemed to have joined his sect.

Is it all falling into place in one step this time?

In the distance, the battle had lasted for a long time, and East Duke still couldn't take down Taiyi.

Just then, roars came from the distance.

It wasn't the Heavenly Court's army, but the Ancestral Witches arriving.
