75: Hongjun's clone, a brand new Laozi

"See, I don't think it will last much longer!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Yun composed his thoughts and spoke, "Within the Primordial Era, Ancestral Witch Di Jiang isn't the only Quasi-Saint!"

"Hmm!?"

Hearing this, the expressions of Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun changed.

Subconsciously turning to look at Li Yun, they asked in disbelief, "Fellow Daoist, are you serious?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you know something?"

"A Quasi-Saint? Could there be someone else at this Realm besides Ancestral Witch Di Jiang?"

"Then why have we never heard of their existence? As Quasi-Saint powerhouses, they should logically be at the top level of the Primordial Era. Why wouldn't they dare to appear?"

At this moment, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun became anxious.

After all, if what Li Yun said was true, it meant there were other Quasi-Saint Cultivators in the Primordial Era.

In that case, their Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation would completely fall to the lower tier. They hadn't even found a way to advance yet, which was not good news, or even... "Of course there are!"

Nodding, Li Yun glanced at the two and said ambiguously, "I heard that after the defeat of the Dragon-Phoenix and Qilin in the Ancient Era, a great final battle actually took place."

"That final battle directly caused the Western Region of the Primordial Era to become the barren land it is today, and it was caused by several Quasi-Saint level powerhouses."

"Although the outcome of that battle isn't very clear, it's undeniable that those Quasi-Saint powerhouses shouldn't be dead; they are likely just Cultivating in some region of the Primordial Era."

"So, with the emergence of this innate supreme treasure, I wonder if it will draw out those powerhouses from the Ancient Era to fight for it~"

Once these words were spoken, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun fell silent.

What Li Yun said couldn't be verified, but undoubtedly, if those Quasi-Saint powerhouses from the Ancient Era truly existed, it was indeed impossible for them to have died—at least not all of them in a single battle.

This also meant there were other Quasi-Saints in the Primordial Era, and they were likely Cultivators who possessed methods of advancement that others could learn.

At this thought, the eyes of the two grew fervent.

The innate supreme treasure was a trap, so they wouldn't get involved. But if it were a method to advance to Quasi-Saint, they would be very interested, or even... "Look quickly, a Quasi-Saint is here!"

Suddenly, Li Yun's pupils constricted. His Purple Gold Divine Pupils immediately noticed a special existence, and he shouted out at once.

Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun also snapped out of it, subconsciously looking toward the area Li Yun was pointing to.

But what they saw was nothingness; there was no figure in that area.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you~"

Subconsciously, the two were about to say something.

But before they could speak, the person hidden in the shadows had already made a move.

Under the gaze of the Purple Gold Divine Pupils, that figure was rapidly approaching the qiankun cauldron.

Upon reaching within a hundred meters of the qiankun cauldron, the might of the innate supreme treasure directly caused the person's Invisibility Art to lose its effect.

"Damn it!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Bastard, stop right there!"

"..."

At this point, Yuanshi, Minghe, Tongtian, and the others on the field also noticed the person's appearance.

Without any hesitation, all the Grand Unity Golden Immortals attacked the person in unison.

After all, they were fighting to the death, and someone wanted to be the oriole behind the mantis and snatch the innate supreme treasure. How could that be allowed?

However, reality was cruel.

Facing the simultaneous attacks of so many Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the newcomer simply raised a hand and waved.

In the next second, a vast surge of magic power swept out, completely destroying the Divine Abilities released by Yuanshi and the others. His figure even reached the qiankun cauldron.

Reaching out to grab a corner of the qiankun cauldron, the newcomer looked down at the Cultivators below and said, "This item belongs to me. Do any of you have an objection?"

As he spoke, the pressure of a Quasi-Saint swept out from him.

"Ugh!"

"Hmph!"

In an instant, muffled groans echoed continuously. Each Grand Unity Golden Immortal felt as if they had been struck by lightning; blood seeped from the corners of their mouths, and their faces turned pale.

"A Quasi-Saint!"

"How is this possible? Where did this Quasi-Saint powerhouse come from!"

"..."

For a moment, the faces of countless Cultivators turned livid as they stared at the person in the air, their eyes filled with frustration and rage.

They never expected that besides Di Jiang, there were other Quasi-Saints in the Primordial Era, and one was even snatching the innate supreme treasure at this time.

Even if they were unwilling, what could they do?

At this stage, even if they all banded together, they couldn't do anything to him. The might of a Quasi-Saint was truly terrifying!

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you were right."

On the mountaintop, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun stood up, staring intently at the figure in the air. Their eyes were full of wariness, envy, caution, and yearning.

Only Li Yun's expression was not very good.

He could tell that the newcomer wasn't Hongjun, but Hongjun's Three Corpses Clone.

After all, this guy's cultivation aura was only at the Mid-stage Quasi-Saint level, not reaching Hongjun's Perfected Quasi-Saint or even beyond-Quasi-Saint level.

But even so, with the appearance of this Clone, the qiankun cauldron was no longer something others could covet.

Thinking about Hongjun taking back the innate supreme treasure—even though it wasn't his—Li Yun still felt a bit annoyed. This was completely playing everyone like fools.

"Sever~"

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

In the next second, a grey-haired figure quietly appeared behind Hongjun's Clone. A longsword swung, and terrifying power undulated, causing space to distort.

"Not good!"

As danger approached, the face of Hongjun's Clone changed. He subconsciously let go of the qiankun cauldron and tried to retreat.

Unfortunately, he was still a bit slow. A cold light flashed, and the longsword directly sliced his left arm in two.

"Ah~"

A scream rang out. Hongjun's Clone quickly fled over a hundred miles before stopping. After stabilizing himself, he glanced at his bloody left arm. The kind expression on his face vanished, replaced by endless rage and murderous intent: "Who is it!"

"To sever my arm, you are seeking death!"

Not just him.

Everyone, including the Cultivators present and even Li Yun's group on the distant mountaintop, was dumbfounded.

They never expected that in just a few breaths, the situation would take another turn.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother, you've made a Breakthrough!"

Just then, two shouts of surprise rang out.

Yuanshi and Tongtian flew out from the crowd. Arriving in the air, they looked at Laozi, whose appearance and temperament had changed greatly, with utter disbelief and joy.

For no other reason than that Laozi was simply too powerful at this moment.

He had severed a Quasi-Saint's arm with a single strike, giving the impression that he was crushing his opponent. This was simply...
