111: Attraction from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation

These three figures heading towards the Western Continent were the Three Pure Ones, who had set out from Mount Buzhou and were planning to scheme for the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus.

"Eldest Brother, this Great Calamity is truly terrifying."

"Even at such a great distance from the center of the battle, these sentient beings are still deeply affected by the calamity qi."

"And that Immortal Slaying Sword Formation truly has overwhelming Evil Qi and Killing Intent."

"So many sentient beings on the edge of the Central Continent are being affected by it."

"In this short time, we have already slain many sentient beings who were driven into a slaughtering frenzy by the Evil Qi and Killing Intent."

Yuqing Yuanshi frowned as he looked at the currently foul atmosphere of Honghuang.

To be honest, the Honghuang World created by his Father God being made so foul by this group of sentient beings made him very displeased.

After reaching the place where the Western Continent and the Central Continent border each other...

Whenever they encountered sentient beings caught in a slaughter, they would surely strike to slay them.

"Such is the Great Calamity; even we, the descendants of the father god, must be cautious within it."

"Let alone these weak sentient beings."

"It is a pity that we are still very weak and cannot change the fundamental cause of the Great Calamity's evolution."

Taiqing, however, knew the fundamental reason for the Great Calamity's evolution from Pangu's Legacy.

That was the constant absorption of innate spiritual qi by the Innate Deities, and the speed of absorption was constantly increasing.

While the speed at which the Honghuang World converted Chaos Qi from the Chaos into Spiritual Qi was almost constant.

If the speed at which the Honghuang World converted innate spiritual qi could not keep up with the speed at which all Sentient beings of the Primordial Era absorbed it...

The Honghuang World would trigger a boundless Great Calamity to eliminate the Sentient beings of the Primordial Era.

After those sentient beings died, the Spiritual Qi they had absorbed would return to heaven and earth, and the total speed of Spiritual Qi absorption by all sentient beings would also decrease.

The Honghuang World would then welcome another period of great prosperity and development.

This was the true reason why the Great Calamity was triggered time and time again.

Taiqing guessed that the Heavenly Dao used the timing of the Great Calamity's repeated occurrences to purge the sentient beings of the Honghuang World.

Thereby gaining control over the entire Honghuang World.

And the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches, as the Descendants of Pangu, were the most important targets of the purge.

"To completely defeat the Heavenly Dao, the issue of the Great Calamity's evolution must also be resolved."

"However, this is not something the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches can consider at present."

"This matter must be planned for the long term."

"Currently, we should still focus on the Dao-Demon Conflict and consider how to plot for the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus, or even the god slaying spear."

Taiqing no longer thought of other things. Together, the Three Pure Ones stepped across the light curtain dividing the Central Continent and the Western Continent, officially setting foot on the Western Continent.

As soon as they entered the Western Continent, the Three Pure Ones were completely dumbfounded.

Because the Western Continent at this moment was practically no different from a wasteland.

Everything on the surface had been destroyed by the great war; it was truly tragic.

"This... this is too tragic!"

"Is this the battle between Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal?"

"A vast continent—although the Western Continent is the smallest among the East, West, South, North, and Central Continents..."

"But to beat the entire Western Continent into such a state of devastation, this is too strong, too terrifying!"

Shangqing Lingbao spoke in disbelief, his tone carrying pity and anger for the Western Continent's plight.

After all, the Western Continent was also part of the Honghuang World created by Father God.

How could he not be angry and pitying when it was destroyed like this by a great war?

"No wonder those Two brothers lived like Beggars in later generations."

"The Western Continent is still doing okay now, having not yet experienced the self-detonations of Yin and Yang and Qiankun."

"Nor has it experienced Luohu detonating the entire Western Continent's earth veins."

"The current situation looks bad enough."

"It's truly hard to imagine how barren the final Western Continent will become after a series of events."

Looking at the Western Continent now, Taiqing seemed to understand those Two brothers, the Beggars, a little bit.

The final version where Luohu detonated the earth veins of the entire Western Continent was billions of times worse than this.

"There's no helping this. Fortunately, it only affected the Western Continent and didn't spread to other continents."

"Moreover, these are just superficial damages. Given some time, the Western Continent will naturally recover."

"Second Brother and Third Brother need not be worried or angry about this."

Seeing the angry expressions of Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao, Taiqing couldn't help but offer words of comfort.

It was only because they were The Two Qings he had brought up that they knew to pity the Western Continent.

In his memories, when had the Three Pure Ones ever felt even half a bit of pity for the Honghuang World?

In his memories, they even fought each other, completely shattering the already fragmented Honghuang in the Great War of the Investiture of the Gods.

In the end, the Heavenly Dao also took complete control of the entire Honghuang because of it.

"If only we could avoid the battles of sentient beings destroying the Honghuang continent and the starry sky."

After thinking for a while, Yuqing Yuanshi suddenly spoke.

Taiqing also began to consider the feasibility of this statement.

However, Taiqing eventually concluded that this might be feasible.

But it was definitely not something the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches could achieve right now.

Even if all members of the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches were Great Expert at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, they wouldn't be able to do it at all.

Perhaps when all members of the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches reached the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, it might be possible.

"Let's go, Second Brother and Third Brother. This matter needs to be planned for the long term; it's not something we can achieve at this time."

"Thinking too much only adds to one's troubles."

"What we can do now is to become stronger as quickly as possible and hold on until the day of victory under the hands of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun."

"Only then can all of this be changed."

"For now, let's focus our attention on the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus."

Taiqing took the lead and sped towards Mount Sumeru.

"Eldest Brother is right; everything ultimately speaks through strength."

"If we are constantly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, then all of this is nothing more than meaningless idle dreams."

Yuqing Yuanshi stopped thinking about other things and quickly caught up with his eldest brother, Taiqing.

"Why do I feel like that Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is destined for me?"

The last one, Shangqing Lingbao, murmured to himself.

He felt that the terrifyingly powerful Immortal Slaying Sword Formation at Mount Sumeru seemed to be transmitting a sense of attraction to him.

"Third Brother, why are you learning from the ways of those Two brothers, saying everything is destined for you?"

Yuqing Yuanshi naturally heard his third brother's words and teased him.

"Second Brother, don't talk nonsense. How can those two pieces of trash, the Two brothers, be compared to me?"

Shangqing Lingbao also knew his second brother was joking and pretended to be annoyed.

Taiqing, however, was thinking in his heart: could it be that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is truly destined for his third brother? And not some scheme by Old Thief Hongjun?

"Right, since the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is a sword formation, it naturally aligns with the Dao of the Sword."

"In this entire Honghuang, if one were to say which sentient being's Dao of the Sword is the purest and most powerful, it would be none other than Third Brother."

"Even I, or even those Reincarnated Experts of Chaos Demon Gods, can no longer compare to Third Brother in the Dao of the Sword."

"This should be the reason why the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is transmitting an attraction to Third Brother."

Thinking of the Dao of the Sword, Taiqing's eyes lit up, feeling he was very close to the truth.

He shared his thoughts with his second and third brothers, and Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao also strongly agreed with this explanation.
