For Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Saints, he was one of the three Primordial Spirits that fell after Pangu created the world.
It was precisely because he had inherited the powerful bloodline power of Pangu's Primordial Spirit that the Three Pure Saints were born with great momentum and were the Sons of Fate.
As the Children of Fate, they did not have to cultivate much at all before they all stepped into the Sage Realm. Everything that they experienced to become Sages was as easy as it could be.
However, when Yuanshi Tianzun taught his disciples the Twelve Golden Immortals, he deeply realized how difficult it was for the Twelve Golden Immortals without Pangu's bloodline to cultivate to the Saint Realm. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Ao Qing had learned the Yi Qi Into Three Pure Ones, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism in such a short time, his first reaction was shock, followed by admiration …
Yes, admiration.
Only the Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had taught his students before, knew that Ao Qing was able to reach his current level step by step not only because of his identity as the Son of Heaven, but also because of countless days and nights of hard work, countless hours of sweat, and bitter cultivation!
The more he thought of this, the more Yuanshi Tianzun's admiration for Ao Qing reached an unparalleled level.
Just as Yuanshi Tianzun was thinking, a strong murderous aura, with him as the center, fiercely enveloped him in a flash. An unprecedented killing power rushed toward Yuanshi Tianzun the moment the Four Immortal-slaying Swords flew out with a clang.
"The Four Immortal-slaying Swords!?"
Yuanshi Tianzun was even more shocked. He did not expect Ao Qing to have such a killing weapon.
The Immortal-slaying Formation formed by the Four Swords was an existence that even the Saints did not dare to easily step into. Although it was not a formation, its terrifying killing power still made Yuanshi Tianzun feel an unprecedented threat to his life.
This was also the only time in the dozens of eras that Yuanshi Tianzun had lived in the Mythological World that he had felt a threat to his life.
Yes, it was the only time.
Whoosh!
Heavenly Lord Yuanshi's hand flashed with light. A divine weapon flashed and blocked the swift and violent attacks of the four Immortal-slaying Swords, including the Immortal-slaying Sword and the Immortal-slaying Sword.
It was obvious that the divine weapon in Yuanshi Tianzun's hand had a few huge holes, revealing the indentations within. This made Yuanshi Tianzun frown.
The divine weapon in his hand was called the Taiqing Sword, and it was one of the divine weapons that Yuanshi Tianzun had refined with the blood of his Primordial Spirit. Its power was not inferior to the Four Immortal-slaying Swords, but he did not expect that it would be destroyed by the terrifying killing power of the Four Immortal-slaying Swords.
Just as he was deep in thought, a loud boom was heard. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning looked up and saw that the sky was filled with golden Buddhas.
These Buddhas were all tens of thousands of feet tall, and their bodies were wrapped in golden light. Their palms were clasped together, and they sat quietly on lotus flower thrones, looking solemn.
In the next moment, these Buddhas in the sky seemed to be judging something, and they all struck out with their palms in unison.
The seemingly ordinary palms suddenly became longer and larger the moment they struck out. They were originally only the size of a palm, but in just a moment, they had forcibly expanded to tens of thousands of feet in size, and they were even emitting a golden and holy brilliance. Countless palms that filled the sky pressed down on Yuanshi Tianzun, carrying an unprecedented suppressive force.
Even from a distance, Yuanshi Tianzun could clearly feel the terrifying power carried by the palms. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and even his bones were about to be crushed, and he was about to be turned into sifted powder that fluttered in the sky.
In the face of Ao Qing's multi-sided attacks, Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath. With a hum, the purple light shield formed by the Taiqing Heavenly Thunder directly protected Yuanshi Tianzun like a cover, allowing the divine palms to fall and wantonly destroy him!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! As one of the three Saints, the purple light shield under Ao Qing's Tathagata Divine Palms continued to distort violently, and cracks even appeared, but it still managed to block the destruction of the Tathagata Divine Palms. In the instant that countless Tathagata Divine Palms fell, incomparably huge five-fingered mountains were formed, and Yuanshi Tianzun was barely suppressed under the five-fingered mountains, unable to move.
Puff!
Suddenly, countless five-fingered mountains shattered in an instant, and turned into gravel that fluttered in the sky. Yuanshi Tianzun stumbled out of the gravel, his eyes flashing with sharpness and complexity.
The terrifying combat strength that Ao Qing had displayed just now was many times more powerful than when he had first fought with Ao Qing. Furthermore, he could even feel that his life was in danger, which was something that Ao Qing could not do before.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang!
A crisp sword cry was heard, and a terrifying murderous aura gathered in Ao Qing's hand in an instant. The four Zhu Immortal-swords were like stars orbiting around Ao Qing, and they even issued excited sounds.
In the sky, the Gods and Buddhas that had appeared earlier slowly disappeared as if they had never existed. What replaced them was a clear blue sky and white clouds.
Ao Qing stood not far from Yuanshi Tianzun, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Just now, after only a brief contact with Yuanshi Tianzun, Ao Qing felt that his understanding of combat and martial arts had improved a lot. His understanding of the Great Dao had also improved by a level.
Of course, he did not use his full strength in the battle with Yuanshi Tianzun. After all, he had to divide his attention to absorb combat experience and the experience of the Great Dao.
"You are indeed one of the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun. I only fought with you once, and I feel that my cultivation has improved a lot. Thank you!"
Ao Qing suddenly said.
"Hmm?
Thank you!? "
Yuanshi Tianzun, who was in the distance, was about to be excited when he heard this. However, his expression changed, and he knew that something was wrong. He was about to pounce on Ao Qing, but Ao Qing's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace, as if he had never existed.
Looking at Ao Qing's disappearance, Yuanshi Tianzun was infuriated.
Ao Qing's behavior was like using him as a punching bag. After improving his strength, he ran away. The more he thought about it, the angrier Yuanshi Tianzun became.
As one of the Three Pure Ones, when had he ever been humiliated like this?!
How could he be used as a punching bag?!
What he didn't know was that after Ao Qing had finished fighting with him, she had entered the Map of God and Country to fight with the other Sages, frantically increasing her own strength!
