376: Chapter 363 The Assistance of the Tongtian Sect Leader

Zhunti seemed to have a premonition of something and let out a heart-wrenching scream: "No!!! Stop! This is the foundation of my Dao-attainment! You cannot..."

This treasure was linked to his very life. Once destroyed, his Saint Dao Fruit would be damaged, and his Realm might even drop!

But how could Lin Feng listen to his nonsense?

"Crack—!!!"

A crisp snap, one that seemed to resound in the depths of every Cultivator's Soul, exploded in the sky above Spirit Mountain.

That sound was more shocking to the heart than a thunderclap.

Under the gaze of countless eyes.

The seven-treasure wonderful tree, which had shone brilliantly during the Investiture of the Gods war, brushing away all Magic Treasures in the world and striking fear into the hearts of countless mighty beings, was bent to an extreme angle over Lin Feng's knee, and then—

It was snapped into two pieces by brute force!

"Boom!"

The treasure's light dimmed instantly.

The branches and leaves, which were originally flowing with light and contained infinite Dao rhyme, withered rapidly at the moment of the break, turning into two pieces of unremarkable mundane wood.

Heaven and earth shared the sorrow. A rain of blood actually began to fall from the sky.

"Pfft—!"

With their minds connected, Daoist Zhunti looked up and spat out a mouthful of golden Saint blood, which even contained shattered fragments of the Great Dao.

His entire being seemed as if his spine had been removed; his Aura withered instantly. That high-and-mighty, overbearing Saint pressure dropped by more than half, and his face turned as gray and ashen as a dead man's.

"My treasure... my seven-treasure wonderful tree!!!"

Zhunti clutched his chest and let out a shrill wail; it was a pain more agonizing than being killed.

The entire field fell into a dead silence.

Whether it was the remnants of Spirit Mountain below, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother spying through the haotian mirror in the Heavenly Court, or the various mighty beings watching this battle (Zhen Yuanzi, Old Ancestor Minghe, etc.), all were speechless at this moment.

The glazed cup in the Jade Emperor's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," shattering into pieces, but he was completely oblivious.

"Snapping a Saint's Dao-attainment treasure... with bare hands?!"

"Is he still human? Could this be Pangu reborn?"

Lin Feng paid no heed to the surrounding shock. He casually tossed that broken half of the branch into his mouth—though it was an action of the holographic projection, it was extremely insulting.

"Crunch, crunch."

He chewed twice and then spat it out with a "ptui," wood chips flying everywhere.

"The texture is terrible, it gets stuck in my teeth. This is what you call a Saint's supreme treasure?"

Lin Feng clapped his hands and flicked off non-existent dust from his armor. Those silver-white eyes once again locked onto the heavily injured Zhunti and the horrified Jieyin.

He cracked his neck, producing a mechanical clicking sound.

"Warm-up exercise is over."

"Next, I'm going to tear you two old geezers' bones out one by one to see if they're also made of gold."

...

Although Lin Feng had snapped the seven-treasure wonderful tree and his Aura was like a surging rainbow, pressing down on the Two Sages of the West until they couldn't breathe, he knew better than anyone that the situation was not as optimistic as it appeared on the surface.

[Warning: God-Slayer Mode remaining time: 3 minutes 20 seconds.]

[Warning: Host's Physical Body load has reached 92%, cells are disintegrating. After completion, you will enter an extremely weakened state.]

[Warning: Saint Laws are adapting to the System's attacks. Analysis progress: 15%.]

With every breath Lin Feng took, his lungs felt a piercing pain like a bellows. That seemingly invincible "God-Slaying Armor" was actually overdrawing his life force.

A Saint, after all, was a Saint.

Although Zhunti was heavily injured and his Magic Treasure was destroyed, as long as the Heavenly Dao was not extinguished, it would be very difficult for him to truly die. As for Daoist Jieyin, he was completely unharmed and was even secretly accumulating power.

"I must end this quickly! Once the trial card ends, I'm truly finished."

Lin Feng thought to himself, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.

At this time, Daoist Jieyin also saw the signs. He was, after all, an old fox who had lived through countless eons; although shocked by Lin Feng's explosive power, he also keenly detected the slight fluctuations in Lin Feng's weakening Aura.

"Junior Brother, do not panic! Although this boy's power is strange, it cannot be sustained!"

Jieyin's face was gloomy, no longer maintaining that hypocritical appearance of compassion. He pressed his palms together, and the originally merciful Buddha-light instantly turned into a Vajra power with sealing properties.

"He is burning his life Origin! Once this short period passes, he will surely die!"

"Form the 'Bodhi Vajra Sumeru Array' and trap him to death!"

Jieyin shouted, and the Twelve-Grade Golden Lotus of Karma beneath his feet shone brilliantly. Although three grades of this Golden Lotus had been eaten by the Mosquito Daoist, it was still a top-tier defensive supreme treasure.

At that moment, the Golden Lotus transformed into a massive golden cage. Countless Sanskrit characters swam like tadpoles, constructing layers of spatial barriers to trap Lin Feng within.

Hearing his Senior Brother's words, Zhunti also endured the pain of his broken treasure and his heavy injuries. With disheveled hair, he sacrificed his Demon-Subduing Pestle to cooperate with his Senior Brother in sealing the space.

"You want to trap me?"

Lin Feng threw a punch at the Golden Lotus barrier.

"Boom!"

The barrier trembled violently, cracking with countless fissures. But with Jieyin and Zhunti casting the spell together, the barrier actually possessed extreme resilience, regenerating as soon as it was destroyed, as if it were infinite.

"It's useless, Lin Feng," Jieyin said coldly. "This is a Saint Domain, isolated from time and space. No matter how strong your power is, can it be stronger than the cycle of the Heavenly Dao?"

Time passed second by second.

[Remaining time: 1 minute 50 seconds.]

Lin Feng began to grow anxious. His punches were getting heavier, but this golden cage was like a ball of cotton; he had strength but nowhere to apply it.

"Damn it... am I really going to fail?"

At this critical juncture.

Just when the Two Sages of the West thought the situation was settled and sinister smiles reappeared on their faces.

From the eastern horizon, there suddenly came a clear, stirring, yet infinitely murderous sword cry.

"Zheng—!!!"

This sword cry seemed to cross time and space, coming from that distant Investiture of the Gods battlefield. It contained the anger, unwillingness, arrogance, and loneliness suppressed for tens of thousands of years.

The entire sky of Aparagodaniya was instantly torn apart.

The originally golden Buddha-light was forcibly dispersed by an even more domineering and sharp green Sword Qi.

Immediately after, a deep and heroic voice, like rolling heavenly thunder, resounded over Spirit Mountain, making the eardrums of Jieyin and Zhunti ache.

"Jieyin! Zhunti! You two shameless old scoundrels, you also have a day like this?!"

Hearing this voice, the faces of Jieyin and Zhunti instantly turned pale, looking even worse than when the Magic Treasure was broken just now.

"Tong... Tongtian?!"

Yes, Sect Leader Tongtian!

Back during the Investiture of the Gods war, the Jie Sect had ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage, yet they were victims of the Two Sages of the West taking advantage of the crisis. They teamed up with Yuanshi and Laozi to break the Immortal-Slaying Array and even forcibly converted three thousand mortal guests of the Jie Sect. Even Personal Disciples like Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, and Holy Mother Guiling were captured or killed.
