198: The power of a saint

Tongtian also knew Zhao Gongming's worries, and at the same time, he saw that there was a certain destiny between himself and those three clouds.

But despite the previous misunderstanding, these two did not hold a grudge, so no great disaster occurred.

And now those three clouds were circling around Yuan Feng, clearly very close to her.

Yuan Feng extended her finger, releasing her Qi.

The three clouds shifted into various forms as she toyed with them with her fingers.

"It seems they like me quite a bit."

"Then follow me; once I have replenished your Origin, I shall proceed with your creation."

Then she raised her sleeve to take them in.

The Sanxiao were very obedient, diving inside without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Tongtian had nothing more to say.

After that, he dismissed Kong Xuan, Jin Peng, and Zhao Gongming.

The few of them then began a Dao Discussion.

The Six Sages all played a pivotal role in the Primordial World.

Serving as the Foundation, they played a role in stabilizing the Primordial World.

Their Dao Fruits were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to invoke a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power.

But while they succeeded because of this, they were also limited by it; their power was ultimately constrained by the height of the Primordial World's heavens.

Whereas the path of Hunyuan taken by Qing Wu and the other saw their great power concentrated within themselves.

To the Primordial World itself, this was an anomaly.

The Saint and the Hunyuan, the two working together...

...could truly lift the heavens of the Primordial World even higher.

During the Dao Discussion, Qing Wu also discussed swordsmanship with Tongtian.

Tongtian smiled slightly; when it came to swords, he would not hold back.

With a light wave of his sleeve, four blood-colored sword lights suddenly emerged—the Four Swords of Zhuxian: Zhuxian, Luxian, Xianxian, and Juexian stood suspended in the air, and instantly, a heaven-shaking baleful intent swept in all directions.

Although he had not sacrificed the formation chart for reinforcement, as soon as these four baleful swords appeared, this world began to tremble violently.

The sword edges had not moved; just the naturally emitted Evil Qi caused the Spiritual Qi within a ten-thousand-mile radius to boil and reverse, turning into blood-colored sword glows that flickered in and out of existence in the Void Realm.

Tongtian only slightly activated them, and the four swords immediately let out hair-raising hums.

A wisp of Sword Qi leaked out, shredding the clouds of the Nine Heavens and revealing a pitch-black Void Realm crack.

Seeing the baleful intent revealed, Qing Wu and the other couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

This thing was so fierce; could it truly be used to suppress a sect's fortune?

At this time, Zhao Gongming and the others came to report.

Kong Xuan was carrying the injured Jin Peng on his shoulder.

"Revered Master, a Golden Turtle behemoth has appeared on the East Sea, causing trouble everywhere, and it even injured us."

Hearing this, it was no wonder why Jin Peng was injured.

That Golden Turtle might be of the same kind as the Black Tortoise, having existed for an unknown amount of time, and was very likely related to the Chaos Gods and Demons.

Its strength was even more unfathomable.

It was just that it had encountered the sanctified Tongtian, so it could only be considered unlucky.

It came out to cause trouble and was slain, becoming the later Jinao Island; it had no one else to blame.

But facing such an existence, did Jin Peng still choose to fight it?

He truly was foolish enough.

At this moment, Tongtian did not withdraw the fierce power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but instead allowed it to continue growing.

He clearly wanted to battle that Golden Turtle to test his power as a Saint.

"Fellow Daoists, would you like to witness the sharpness of these swords?"

Tongtian spoke indifferently, his Battle Intent showing.

Since they were already here, why not watch a good show.

Qing Wu and the others also followed Tongtian to that location.

Deep in the East Sea, a Golden Turtle as massive as a mountain surfaced.

Its golden carapace shone brilliantly, covered in hideous bone spikes, and its body was surrounded by thick Chaos Qi.

Its eyes were red as blood, and as it roared, a current of Chaos Qi surged out, dyeing the surrounding seawater completely black.

Every time it swung its giant claws, it kicked up ten-thousand-foot waves, and countless islands were instantly shattered.

Eerie Chaos dao patterns appeared on its shell, continuously devouring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and the convergence of Karma around it made its baleful power even stronger.

"Vile beast, die!"

Tongtian didn't waste words; the baleful qi of the Four Swords of Zhuxian became even sharper.

The sound of the swords humming echoed through the Nine Heavens, contending with the Golden Turtle's Chaos Qi.

Under the soaring Sword Intent, he was already fighting with the Golden Turtle.

Above the East Sea, muddy waves surged to the sky as a giant Golden Turtle constantly stirred up wind and rain, having a huge impact on this world.

Suddenly, a strand of Sword Qi cut through a thousand layers of waves.

The Sword Qi buzzed, slicing the ten-thousand-foot waves in half.

The sword's momentum did not decrease at all, slashing down toward the large Golden Turtle.

Owuuu~

The Golden Turtle's movements paused as it let out a wail, clearly injured by this strand of Sword Qi.

It suddenly looked up and saw the young Daoist standing in the center of the waves.

The qingping sword circled around him, letting out crisp sword hums.

The Sword Intent resonated with the wound on its back.

The one who injured it was this person and this sword.

What it was proud of was its Physical Body strength and defensive capabilities.

Its carapace plates were connected to each other, constructing a Chaos defensive Domain with extremely strong protection.

Yet this person could actually injure it with a single strike... the Golden Turtle couldn't help but be filled with wariness.

Suddenly, the ferocity in its eyes flashed and vanished, and it suddenly erupted with extremely strong Battle Intent, letting out battle roars at Tongtian.

At the same time, it constantly slapped the ten-thousand-foot waves, making its presence even more imposing.

"Good beast!" Tongtian chuckled, and the qingping sword casually traced a semi-circle.

It was an understated strike, yet it made the entire East Sea go silent.

Wherever the sword light passed, countless waves were cut down, returning to the East Sea.

Its remaining momentum did not stop, slashing onto the Golden Turtle's carapace once more.

With a crisp crack, the Golden Turtle's peerless defensive carapace was like a mere decoration under this Sword Qi, completely useless.

Another wound, deep enough to see the bottom, was added to its back.

The Golden Turtle was in pain, and the fierce light in its red eyes surged.

It suddenly dove down, and the ten-thousand-mile sea area instantly turned into a Chaos vortex.

Countless undersea mountain ranges were ground into blades, strangling toward Tongtian along with the vortex.

The ripples spreading from the vortex alone shook three immortal islands into dust.

Tongtian remained unmoved, holding the qingping sword upright in front of him, the sword tip lightly tapping the Void Realm: "Break."

With one word, the East Sea was turned upside down!

Billions of azure sword glows suddenly erupted from the center of the vortex, each one precisely piercing a node of the Chaos Qi.

The entire vortex burst like a punctured bubble, and the waves kicked up rushed straight into the Nine Heavens, punching a neat hole through the clouds of the firmament.

The Golden Turtle was forced to surface, its carapace already covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

"Nothing more than this." Tongtian walked on the waves, his Saintly might causing azure lotus seals to condense on the sea surface.

The qingping sword in his hand turned into an azure rainbow, sometimes like a swimming dragon playing in the water, sometimes like a heavenly punishment descending upon the world, forcing the Golden Turtle to retreat steadily.

The carapace that was enough to withstand an Innate Spirit Treasure was now constantly peeling off fragments like rotten wood.

The battle between Tongtian and the Golden Turtle was a completely one-sided affair.

Tongtian only made a slight move, yet he had already beaten this Golden Turtle, which had survived since the creation of the world, until it had no power to fight back.

This was the great power of a Saint, revealed in all its glory.
