Chapter 7
: Slaying Pan Wang, the Path of Heavenly Tribulation
The Azure Lotus Banner!
As one of the five innate flags formed from the lotus leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus, the Green Lotus Treasure Flag is unparalleled in defense, and no poisonous insects or demonic gu can break through it.
Seeing this, Panwang Daoren's heart sank.
Although his poison technique is insidious, it cannot break through the defense of the Azure Lotus Banner, so what use is it?
no doubt.
At this point in the battle, his chances of winning are almost nonexistent.
Gazing at the powerful magical treasures surrounding Donghua, he felt a mixture of jealousy and hatred.
I thought that since I took human form in ancient times, I had been able to roam freely in the prehistoric world with the three magical treasures in my hands: the Panwang Chime, the Heavenly Tribulation Mace, and the Myriad Gu Banner.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Donghua today, who was superior to him in every aspect, including his cultivation, supernatural powers, and magical treasures.
How unjust is the way of Heaven!
Donghua said calmly, "You've already used all your strength, and I haven't even used mine yet."
However, to Panwang Daoren, this was clearly a blatant mockery, and he immediately turned pale with anger, looking as ugly as if he had eaten a dead child.
He couldn't care about anything else at that moment and directly manifested the true form of the Great Dao.
It transformed into a giant five-colored dragon dog, surrounded by five-colored immortal light, with the blue sky above its head and the earth beneath its feet, unleashing all sorts of fierce supernatural powers.
"A cornered beast's struggle."
Seeing this, Donghua also unleashed his supernatural power of controlling size, manifesting the laws of heaven and earth, as if he carried the myriad elements of the heavens.
With a flick of his Qingyang sword, the light of Shaoyang Immortals surged.
Arrange matter, harness vital energy.
Adorned with the sun, moon, and stars like bright pearls, a flower, a world, and countless dimensions of transformation and convergence.
When Donghua got serious, Panwang Daoren was completely suppressed and was in grave danger, with almost no power to fight back.
Now it has come to this.
A great fear finally welled up in his heart, and with a flash of immortal light, he tried to escape.
However, Donghua wouldn't just stand by and watch; from the very beginning, he had been preparing for its escape.
Since the cause and effect have already been established, it is only right to eradicate them completely.
"clang!"
The Jingyang Bell rang again.
Supported by a massive amount of primordial energy, it suddenly transformed into an immeasurable vastness, completely enveloping this world.
The power of the Tao is unfolding.
The eternal universe and the vast expanse of time change at this moment.
Panwang Daoist was completely trapped, and even if he used his Great Luo power to erase his existence from the present world and jump back and forth between different time and space, it was all in vain.
Because the entire surrounding space-time had been temporarily suppressed by Jingyang Zhong.
"No--"
Finally, amidst Panwang Daoren's desperate cries, thousands upon thousands of world-destroying rays of light shone beneath the Jingyang Bell, annihilating everything tangible and intangible.
Pan Wang has fallen.
Seeing this, Donghua shook his head and sighed slightly.
The saying that Da Luo is hard to kill is not an exaggeration. In the end, it was because Pan Wang Dao Ren was too greedy. Even though he knew that his strength was inferior to his own, he still insisted on pestering him.
So it's no surprise that he ended up perishing.
However, that's all.
Donghua couldn't help but ask himself, if he were in that situation, would he have been able to decisively give up the opportunity that was right in front of him? The answer was still unknown.
The path of spiritual practice is inherently one of struggle.
If you can't win, you'll fall, and you'll have to pay the price with your life.
This has always been the case in the primordial world; there has never been a distinction between right and wrong.
Clearing his mind of thoughts, Donghua raised his hand and put away the three magical treasures left behind by Panwang Daoren after his death.
After a little refinement, I learned a lot of information.
First is the Myriad Gu Banner used by Panwang Daoren at the end. It was born from the Dao of Gu poison and is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with a high rank.
Once unleashed, it can release countless Gu worms, poisonous smoke, and curses, which can penetrate almost every nook and cranny.
Without powerful magical artifacts to protect you, you can easily fall into their trap.
Unfortunately, although this treasure is quite powerful, it is also somewhat sinister and has little compatibility with the Shaoyang Dao that Donghua cultivates. For him, it is only something to use occasionally.
On the contrary, the other two magical treasures piqued Donghua's interest.
Panwang Chime.
Heavenly Tribulation Mace.
These two magical treasures were Pan Wang's companions, and both belonged to the high-grade innate spiritual treasures. They were born from the Dao of Calamity and are engraved with true patterns of tribulation lightning, containing the laws of thunder and the aura of calamity.
This made Donghua think, since there was no such thing as heavenly tribulation in the prehistoric world at that time.
After all, the Heavenly Dao is still imperfect, so where would Heavenly Punishment come from?
As for innate deities like Donghua, each one is born from heaven and earth, and can be called the darling of the heavenly way, so it is even less likely that they will be subject to calamities.
However, in later generations, the situation was quite different.
As Hongjun attained sainthood, he preached the Dao three times at Zixiao Palace, passing down the methods of immortal cultivation, and the number of immortals in the world increased.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was insufficient to meet the demand, almost exceeding the limit that the primordial world could sustain.
This is why Heaven unleashed its killing intent, purging countless cultivators, both great and small, to return them to their original state and rejoin the world.
This is the truth of the Great Calamity.
When that time comes, if Donghua can follow the way of Heaven and establish the way of Heavenly Punishment with these two treasures, boundless merits will naturally descend upon him, and he will naturally become the master of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"This matter should be noted down for now."
As the battle ended, Jin Hongshi and Yun Zhongjun came to Donghua's side, their expressions still showing a hint of disbelief.
Jin Hong sighed, "Fellow Daoist Donghua's magical power is so profound that it truly makes this humble Daoist ashamed."
Yun Zhongjun was even more bewildered. He originally thought that the best outcome would be if the three of them could drive away Panwang Daoist and take the treasures in Wuyi Mountain. But what about now?
Unexpectedly, Panwang Daoren was killed outright.
I have to say, this fellow Daoist Donghua I just met is truly 'ruthless'...
With the fall of Pan Wang, things became much simpler, and the three of them quickly began to work on breaking the innate array that enveloped Wuyi Mountain.
The Great Golden Immortal forges a self in every thought and breath.
Therefore, it has almost reached the pinnacle of perfection in information deduction and domain analysis.
Going further up, one falls into the category of "saint".
At this moment, with Donghua taking the lead and the three of them working together to comprehend the great formation, the speed at which they broke through it naturally increased.
In just over three hundred years, they broke through the formation and entered.
Upon entering Wuyi Mountain, one immediately senses the gathering of spiritual energy, with clouds and mist swirling among the peaks, shimmering rosy light, and babbling streams—truly a rare and blessed land.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he immediately saw through everything.
The three figures vanished from their original spot and reappeared on a cliff on the east side the next moment.
A tea tree, about half a person's height, grew crookedly on the ground, its lush green leaves glistening, surrounded by the rolling red clouds, exuding a strange and captivating fragrance.
Above the tea tree is a winged copper coin.
