Primordial Era: I am the First Green Ox, the Senior Brother of the Three Religions

Chapter 553 A Saint Falls! The Heavenly Dao Emerges!

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, eight hundred years have passed since the war between the Primordial World and the Xuanhuang Realm began.

Over the past eight hundred years, the Xuanhuang Realm has suffered too many deaths and injuries among Quasi-Saints, forcing it to use the world's origin to forcibly create a new batch of Quasi-Saints.

However, these quasi-saints have unstable foundations and their strength is far inferior to that of quasi-saints who have cultivated normally, making them easy targets for killing.

Nine hundred years later.

The Supreme Sage and Niu Ben joined forces to kill the "Returning Origin Sage" of the Xuanhuang Realm in the void.

The Sage of Returning to Origin, the foremost sage in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately killed before the Supreme Sage's Taiji Diagram and Niu Ben's World-Destroying Millstone.

"boom!"

Just as the Saint Guiyuan fell, a figure appeared in the void battlefield.

The person who came was none other than Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World.

After appearing, Hongjun suddenly waved his hand and directly seized and sealed the origin of the Saint Guiyuan.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Sage frowned slightly, but quickly calmed down.

Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Niu Ben's eyes.

He had previously joined forces with the Supreme Sage and his disciples to kill the Returning Origin Sage.

Niu Ben originally intended to seal away the origin of the Saint Guiyuan.

Who would have thought that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would appear at this time and even seize the origin of Guiyuan Saint?

Although he was somewhat displeased, Niu Ben didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, many powerful beings from the primordial era watching from below were all astonished.

"Dao Ancestor!!"

"The Dao Ancestor has appeared."

"The origin of the Saint Guiyuan was sealed by the Dao Ancestor."

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, this is to prevent the resurrection of the Saint of Returning to Origin."

"Sages are immortal because their origin is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao. But if their origin is sealed and they cannot return to the Heavenly Dao, then they are truly dead."

"..."

Many powerful beings from the primordial era were amazed.

No one expected that Dao Ancestor Hongjun would make a move at this time, and even take away the origin of Guiyuan Saint.

On the other side, the many saints and powerful beings of the Xuanhuang Realm all had gloomy expressions upon seeing this.

"this?"

"A being at the Heavenly Dao level has made a move!"

"Could that person be an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of the primordial world?"

"Or did he devour the primordial Heavenly Dao?"

"hateful!"

"Has the Sage Guiyuan truly perished like this?"

"These ancient barbarians are truly despicable!"

"When will our ancestor make his move?"

"If this continues, it will be extremely detrimental to our Xuanhuang Realm!"

"..."

Many powerful beings in the Xuanhuang Realm were indignant, never expecting that a being at the Primordial Heavenly Dao level would intervene in the war at this time.

Enraged, many powerful figures and sages from the Xuanhuang Realm did not dare to linger and retreated into the depths of the Xuanhuang Realm.

On the other side, after taking away the origin of the Guiyuan Saint, Dao Ancestor Hongjun turned his gaze to Niu Ben and the Supreme Saint.

"I, the Ancestor, have taken away the Origin Saint's essence. Do either of you have any objections?"

Upon hearing the question posed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Supreme Sage paused slightly, then bowed deeply and said:

"Teacher, I have no objection."

As he spoke, the Supreme Sage glanced at Niu Ben, who was standing to the side.

Upon receiving the gaze of the Supreme Sage, Niu Ben did not reply, and his expression showed no joy or happiness.

After a brief pause, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not linger. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

After the Dao Ancestor Hongjun left, the Supreme Sage glanced at Niu Ben and said:

"My disciple."

"But are you feeling resentful?"

Niu Ben smiled faintly and replied:

"Master."

"Actually... we can also collect and seal the essence of the Returning Origin Saint!"

The Supreme Sage nodded slightly in agreement with what Niu Ben said, saying:

That being said...

"But... this origin of the sage is of paramount importance."

"The teacher did this in an attempt to achieve a balance."

Upon hearing this, Niu Ben smiled calmly and said nothing more.

Then, the master and apprentice instantly vanished from that void battlefield.

……

A thousand years later.

Because the Xuanhuang Realm is missing a Guiyuan Saint, it has suffered repeated defeats in battles at the Saint level.

On this day, on the battlefield of saints, Niu Ben and other saint-level beings from the primordial world were locked in battle with numerous saints from the Xuanhuang Realm.

"boom!"

Just then, a violent turbulence suddenly arose in the void.

Immediately following, an immense and unparalleled will descended from the depths of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Both sides engaged in combat, whether they were saint-level beings or beings below them, stopped fighting and retreated to their respective camps after sensing the commotion.

Then, the sky above the Xuanhuang Realm suddenly cracked open.

It wasn't a crack broken by external force, but rather a crack that opened on its own.

The opening looked like a giant eye, stretching across the sky and occupying half of it.

"Um?"

"This...this looks so much like the Eye of Heaven?"

"What's going on?"

"Judging from this situation, could it be that the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm is about to intervene?"

"Our Dao Ancestor has already taken action before, so it's not surprising that a Heavenly Dao-level being from the Xuanhuang Realm would also intervene."

"That's true, but with a Heavenly Dao-level being on the other side, our Primordial World, relying solely on Saints, is probably no match for them."

"Among the sages, perhaps only Daoist Niu Ben could contend with a Heavenly Dao-level being?"

"..."

The countless creatures of the Primordial Alliance were all amazed.

No one expected that a Heavenly Dao-level being from the Xuanhuang Realm would appear on the battlefield at this time.

Meanwhile, on the Xuanhuang Realm side, many saints and other beings were all greatly encouraged by this.

"This aura..."

"Great, it's time for the Ancestor to make his move."

"Let's see how arrogant those ancient barbarians can be now!"

"With the Ancestor's intervention, we will surely wipe out these invaders from the primordial world in one fell swoop!"

"..."

Just as the beings of the Xuanhuang Realm were excited, the eye that stretched across the sky shimmered with endless chaotic light.

With each blink, it's as if a small world is born and destroyed within it.

Countless laws intertwined and crumbled within those eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the void below the Eye of Heaven slowly cracked open, and a figure walked out from the crack.

The one who appeared was none other than the Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor of the Xuanhuang Realm.

The man appeared to be a middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a black and yellow Taoist robe embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and all living things...

The patterns were not static, but rather slowly shifting, constantly arising and ceasing in cycles.

In addition, this Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor had long, flowing hair, a gaunt face, and eyes that were like two bottomless pools of water, calm yet containing the power to destroy everything.

Of course, what was most unsettling was the aura of the Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor.

This aura has transcended the realm of "saint" and reached another level.

That is the supreme realm of resonating with the Way of Heaven, assimilating with the world, and merging with the Great Dao.
