The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 134 Western Cult Monks Intervene

As Taibai sensed everything that was happening at the South China Sea Dragon Palace, his impatience intensified.

His power as a Great Luo Golden Immortal surged violently, and the Five Elements Laws swirled around him.

The next moment, he raised his right hand and concentrated the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. With just one strike, the South China Sea Dragon Palace collapsed.

Three figures shot out from the ruins:

Aoki's face was solemn, and he was unsteady on his gun. Ao Jing was limp as mud, barely breathing. The other person was the Pharmacist, a direct disciple of the Western Sect.

In contrast, the other cultivators in the palace, those with weaker cultivation levels, were smashed into mincemeat.

Those who were able to resist were also severely injured and unable to move an inch.

Taibai's gaze fell on that gentle, smiling face, and his heart sank.

The presence of the pharmacist here is no coincidence.

This means that the Western Religion has already extended its reach to the dragon races of the four seas, and his actions today are tantamount to pushing the already wavering dragon races even more directly to the other side.

"I am a humble Taoist priest, a disciple of the Western Sage Zhunti, and have met with the Heavenly Court's Judicial Gods."

After the pharmacist appeared, he immediately bowed to Taibai.

The reason he called himself Taibai the God of Justice and specifically mentioned his status as a disciple of a sage was to elevate his own status.

After all, not everyone present knew that the judicial deity before them was Taibai, the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones.

"Give back the God-Slaying Spear!"

Taibai naturally saw through the pharmacist's little scheme.

He did not forcibly take it, but instead used his power to coerce the pharmacist into returning it personally.

This was not only to reclaim the sacred treasure, but also to establish authority on the spot.

The pharmacist remained expressionless. Knowing the vast difference in their cultivation levels, he immediately channeled his magic power and steadily pushed the God-Slaying Spear toward Taibai.

However, with a flick of his sleeve, Taibai sent a gentle burst of energy through the air, pushing the spear back to the pharmacist.

"Present it to me with both hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taibai's Gengjin longsword appeared in his hand. The sword's edge was not pointed, but its chilling sword intent had already locked onto the space around the pharmacist.

The unspoken message was crystal clear: if there was the slightest hesitation, the sword would arrive instantly.

The pharmacist held the God-Slaying Spear, which had flown back again, his palm slightly cool.

His smile faded slightly, and his mind raced.

He was gambling that Li Bai, out of consideration for the dignity of a sage, would not dare to actually kill his Western disciple.

After all, if this sword were to strike, it would not be merely a personal grudge, but a blatant act of defying the majesty of the two saints.

However, when he looked up and met Taibai's calm and unwavering eyes, the last glimmer of hope in his heart began to flutter involuntarily.

"Let me remind you, everything I possess is not something that allows me to be arrogant about. You'd better think carefully!"

Having said that, Taibai had already condensed the power of the laws onto the Gengjin longsword, and the Devouring Law attached to the longsword was used to devour the primordial spirit and true spirit of the pharmacist.

The pharmacist's pupils constricted sharply. The undisguised killing intent and the power of the law finally shattered the last shred of hope in his heart.

He has always been pragmatic and has deeply inherited his teacher's ability to assess situations.

Immediately, all calculation and hesitation vanished from his face, replaced by utmost respect.

He steadily lifted the dark red spear with both hands, his figure soaring forward until he was about ten feet in front of Taibai. He solemnly raised the God-Slaying Spear above his head and proclaimed loudly:

"The precious artifact is here, returned intact to its rightful owner. We respectfully request the God of Justice to retrieve it."

Taibai didn't even lift his eyelids, let alone look at the pharmacist's submissive posture.

With a casual reach, he flicked his wrist, and the God-Slaying Spear flew back into his palm.

"Alright, Ao Jing. Since you have committed a sin, you must bear the consequences."

With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the God-Slaying Spear turned, and a dark, chilling glint gathered at the tip, locking onto Ao Jing's brow.

Ao Jing was terrified. Driven by his survival instinct, he squeezed out his last bit of strength and leaped upwards with his mangled dragon body, attempting to escape.

"Walk?"

Taibai's lips curled into a faint sneer, and he casually pressed down with his free left hand.

"boom!"

The weight of the entire sea collapsed on Ao Jing, and his body, which had just risen into the air, was slammed back to its original position by a tremendous force.

"Father, save me! Fellow Daoist Medicine Master! Save me!!"

Ao Jing's soul was scattered, and she let out a mournful and twisted wail.

A glint flashed in the Pharmacist's eyes. His greatest mission on this trip was to use the South Sea Dragon Palace, and even the dragon clans of the four seas, as a bridge to bring them under the wing of the Western Sect.

Ao Qin and Ao Jing are key pieces; how can we allow Taibai to kill them at this moment?

Just as the God-Slaying Spear was about to pierce Ao Jing's head, a seed flew out from the Pharmacist's sleeve. It arrived first despite being behind, and its emerald light spread out, transforming into a barrier that barely blocked the tip of the spear.

"clang!"

The invincible sharp killing intent of the God-Slaying Spear was actually steadily resisted by the seemingly gentle Bodhi-green light. The two were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, with the spear tip trembling and the green light rippling.

"Pharmacist, what do you mean by this?"

The pharmacist clasped his hands together, his face showing compassion:

"God of Justice, please calm your anger. Heaven still cherishes life, and Prince Ao Jing has already learned his lesson."

Why not give them a chance to repent? Our Western religion is also willing to mediate and resolve this conflict.

"Resolve?"

Before Taibai could respond, Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea, who was suppressed in the ruins, struggled to raise his head, his eyes bloodshot, and roared hoarsely:

"Taibai! You dare touch a single whisker of my son's dragon?! My entire Dragon Clan of the Four Seas will fight you to the death with this damned Heavenly Court! How dare you disrespect the dignity of the Dragon Clan?!"

Upon hearing this, the pharmacist's face froze, and he cursed inwardly, "Fool! Utterly idiotic!"

Sure enough, the last trace of warmth in Taibai's eyes vanished completely, replaced by a chilling killing intent and endless mockery.

"A fight to the death? Ao Qin, are you still dreaming, dreaming of returning to the era when dragons and phoenixes reigned supreme?"

"Do the dragons of today even dare to presume to be enemies of the Heavenly Court?"

Before he finished speaking, the Gengjin longsword that had been hovering beside him suddenly disappeared.

The next instant, a flash of sword light appeared.

"Pfft!"

A thick arm covered in deep blue scales was severed cleanly from Ao Qin's shoulder, flying high into the air, dragon blood gushing out like a spring.

"ah!!!"

Ao Qin's mournful roar echoed throughout half of the South China Sea.

The sword blade of Taibai is not covered with ordinary Five Elements power, but with laws that he has evolved and reconstructed.

Its fundamental function is to undermine vitality and destroy the original structure.

Unless Taibai solves the puzzle himself, or a cultivator with a higher cultivation level than Taibai, Ao Qin will remain a one-armed cultivator for the rest of his life.

The reason Taibai spared his life was because he didn't want to completely break with the Dragon Clan.

The evidence against Ao Jing is irrefutable, and the heavenly law is clear; no one can openly protect him.

But Ao Qin was different. Although he was suspected of protecting someone and his words were arrogant, he ultimately did not directly violate the Heavenly Laws and commit a capital offense.

More importantly, although the four Dragon Kings harbored secret rivalries, if one of them were to fall at the hands of an enemy, their shared bloodline and the dignity of the Dragon Clan would compel them to unite against a common foe.

At that time, the dragon clans of the four seas will surely unite into a force not to be underestimated, becoming a troublesome problem for the Heavenly Court.

At present, a minor punishment is sufficient to establish authority, while not completely crossing the red line of no return.

Li Bai grasped the nuances perfectly.

However, before the storm had subsided, another unexpected event occurred.
