114: Having succeeded, they fled far away.
However, just as the Three Pure Ones were feeling enraged, they saw several streaks of spiritual light flying toward their position.
"Big Brother, it seems something is flying over. I feel a resonance in my heart."
Shangqing Lingbao spoke with some excitement.
"Could it be...?"
Before Taiqing and Yuqing could voice their guesses, the streaks of spiritual light landed in front of the Three Pure Ones.
"..."
Spirit Treasures falling from the sky—did the Three Pure Ones just catch this Opportunity? This was simply too dreamlike.
Seeing the Spirit Treasures that had landed before them, the Three Pure Ones understood clearly.
They were the immortal slaying sword, the immortal trapping sword, and the immortal ending sword—three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure swords.
"Third Brother, these three swords share a destiny with you. They must have landed here for your sake. You should take them," Taiqing said.
Taiqing spoke.
"Indeed, Third Brother. These swords clearly came seeking you. Neither Big Brother nor I Cultivate the Dao of the Sword.
Only you, Third Brother, Cultivate the Dao of the Sword and are incredibly powerful. With these three swords, your progress in the Dao of the Sword might be even faster.
And perhaps, Third Brother, you can even complete the set with that fourth sword.
By setting up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, even without using the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Divine Ability, you could fight four top-tier experts of the same level alone."
Yuqing Yuanshi also spoke, his tone devoid of any envy, jealousy, or hatred toward his younger brother.
Seeing this scene, Taiqing couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
It seemed the rumors he heard in his past life about his second brother envying the third brother's powerful Immortal Slaying Sword Formation were purely false.
Shangqing Lingbao didn't hesitate and directly put away the three swords.
At that moment, several more streaks of spiritual light flew out from the place where Luo Hou and Hongjun were battling.
However, this time they did not fly toward the Three Pure Ones' position; instead, they flew toward the east.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, the immortal slaying sword is among them!"
Having obtained three swords, Shangqing Lingbao naturally had a resonance with the immortal slaying sword. He spoke with joy upon seeing the streaks of light.
"Let's go, Second Brother and Third Brother! Quickly follow This elder brother to seize the Spirit Treasures!"
The Three Pure Ones Great Array was still being maintained, with the Three Pure Ones merged into a single entity at the level of a Perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
No longer caring about staying hidden, the Three Pure Ones directly controlled the array and flew toward the streaks of light.
The reason Taiqing was so urgent...
...was because he felt a terrifying killing Qi and a power that devoured the Primordial Spirit within those streaks of light.
Similarly, Taiqing also sensed the unique aura of a chaos green lotus seed.
This meant that the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus must be among those streaks of light.
The very purpose of his trip was precisely for the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus!
Now that the main objective had appeared, the Three Pure Ones were determined to get the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus no matter what.
Furthermore, the aura of the god slaying spear was also within those lights.
Taiqing could no longer bother with hiding. Charging straight in to take the Spirit Treasures and then fleeing far away was the best choice.
Those streaks of light were the result of Old Thief Hongjun's three corpses self-detonating, which blew the Spirit Treasures off Luo Hou and Hongjun's bodies.
At this moment, those Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal who had been putting on an act stopped one after another.
All of them looked at the spiritual light rushing out of the formation with burning eyes.
These great experts no longer cared about anything else; they abandoned their acting and headed toward the spiritual light.
"Which cowards dare to lay hands on Our Spirit Treasure Opportunity!"
Several Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal saw the merged figure of the Three Pure Ones rushing out from the base of Mount Sumeru, aiming precisely for that spiritual light.
They shouted out in rage, simultaneously launching terrifying attacks at the Three Pure Ones.
"These fellows were indeed acting before; their current attacks are countless times more terrifying than before!"
Feeling the terrifying attacks from behind, the Three Pure Ones all looked solemn.
"Second Brother and Third Brother, we will only take those three Spirit Treasures. Let them fight over the rest."
Taiqing quickly locked onto the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus, the god slaying spear, and the immortal slaying sword.
As for the other Spirit Treasures blown off Hongjun, Taiqing didn't dare to take them all.
If they did, the Three Pure Ones would be hunted by more than ten Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
By forming their array, the Three Pure Ones had the strength of a Perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal, but they were not true Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal after all.
The Three Pure Ones Great Array also had a limit to how long it could hold.
Instead of being hunted across the entire Primeval World by over ten Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal...
...it was better to only take the three Spirit Treasures that were most beneficial to them.
They would ignore the rest and let those ten-plus Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal fight over them.
"Don't worry, Big Brother. we know the stakes involved."
Yuqing and Shangqing also knew the consequences of taking everything; they didn't even spare a glance at the other Spirit Treasures.
Their hearts were set only on the three Spirit Treasures their elder brother had mentioned.
As for what Reincarnation and Yang Mei were doing at this moment, it would be incomprehensible to other experts if told.
Reincarnation and Yang Mei were currently staring at the merged figure of the Three Pure Ones with faces full of terror.
Dignified Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Heavenly Venerable experts were actually staring in terror at an existence with only the strength of a Perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Just a moment ago, Reincarnation and Yang Mei were also preparing to strike and annihilate this fellow—the merged Three Pure Ones—who was hiding in the shadows to reap the rewards.
And then, they intended to take the Spirit Treasures that had been blown out.
However, as soon as the thought of attacking the merged Three Pure Ones arose in the hearts of Ancestor of Reincarnation and Ancestor Yang Mei...
...their Primordial Spirits gave them frantic warnings: if they dared to kill that unknown expert, they would surely die as well!
The warning from their Primordial Spirits was so intense that even as dignified Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Heavenly Venerables, they were instantly drenched in cold sweat.
This meant they truly would die—and they would die the very instant they struck to kill that unknown expert!
"Whew~ what a terrifying feeling. It's just like facing Pangu back then!"
Reincarnation wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exhaled a breath of turbid Qi.
"Can't provoke them, can't provoke them. Just what kind of sacred being is this to have such immense providence?"
Yang Mei also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, using his magic power to dry the sweat on his back as well.
Even when facing the Heavenly Dao, he felt it wasn't even a ten-thousandth as terrifying as that split-second warning just now.
Reincarnation and Yang Mei quickly memorized the aura of the merged Three Pure Ones.
The two Celestial Venerables decided that if they encountered this being again, they would either stay far away or treat them with the utmost hospitality.
In the brief moment Reincarnation and Yang Mei hesitated, the Three Pure Ones had already grabbed the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus, the god slaying spear, and the immortal slaying sword.
Subsequently, the Three Pure Ones quickly vanished from Mount Sumeru, retreating at high speed toward the Central Continent.
Leaving behind the other ten or so streaks of spiritual light still darting around.
These ten-plus streaks were naturally the Spirit Treasures that had protected Hongjun's three corpses, as well as those from Hongjun's main body.
"Hmph! You ran fast. I didn't expect the opponent to get away with three Spirit Treasures."
Less than a moment after the Three Pure Ones fled, the other Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal arrived.
Those experts all snorted coldly but no longer pursued the Three Pure Ones.
There were still ten or so Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures here; they couldn't let other experts take them for nothing.
Now, the group of experts who were originally acting began to truly fight with all their might for the ten-plus Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.
As the protagonists of this Dao-Demon Conflict, no expert cared about whether Hongjun or Luo Hou lived or died.
