"Die!"

Although the Curse Demon God only possesses the sub-saint realm for now, with his Primordial Spirit connected to the Heavenly Dao, and mana flowing continuously, coupled with the foundation of his former life as a Chaos Demon God, the incomplete version of the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" activated by Jin Ling Saint Mother seems insufficient to eradicate him utterly, in Xuanqing’s view, it is inadequate.

"Teacher, save me!"

"Great Uncle Master, Second Uncle Master, save me!"

At this moment, Xuanqing does not hesitate at all, directly calling for several Saints. With these Saints present, why should they take the risk themselves?

Nanji was speechless. Seeing Xuanqing’s actions just now, he thought Xuanqing was going to use some kind of trump card, but instead, he directly asked the Saints for help.

"Daoist Ancestor, please open your eyes and look!" Xuanqing continued to shout, undisturbed: "The Curse Demon God is trying to steal the authority of the Heavenly Dao!"

Boom!

The Heavenly Dao roared, and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment began to form in the sky, with countless apocalyptic thunderbolts converging. However, upon sensing the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" from the Curse Demon God, the Heavenly Punishment never fell.

For the Heavenly Dao, as long as Chaos Demon Gods are willing to merge into the Primordial World, it is not impossible for them to become Saints of the Heavenly Dao.

Hong Jun is one example!

Moreover, with the Primordial Spirits entrusting Heavenly Dao, Saints can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao also can, through the strength of the Saints, perfect the Heavenly Dao Laws.

"Damn it!"

Xuanqing never thought that the Heavenly Dao would be so unreliable. Despite knowing that the Curse Demon God had no good intentions, the long-anticipated Heavenly Punishment never fell.

"Sister!"

He quickly sacrificed the "Cosmic Light Bell" to protect himself while asking Jin Ling Saint Mother to mobilize the power of the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" to lend him a helping hand.

Boom!

Countless starlight fell directly onto Xuanqing, who immediately sacrificed the "Earth-breaking Chisel," and a power capable of creating heaven and earth erupted instantaneously.

As a precaution, he also merged the power of the "Heavenly Creation Talisman" into it. The fearsome power swept across billions of miles of the void.

The Curse Demon God did not expect Xuanqing to unleash such a horrible strike. Caught off guard, the huge Dharma Form was instantly shattered by the "Earth-breaking Chisel."

Boom!

The void shook, the heavens and earth mourned, and a downpour of blood rained down from the space where the Heavenly Dao originated.

At this moment, although the Curse Demon God is not as powerful as Zhunti Saint of the past, with his Primordial Spirit connected to the Heavenly Dao, he already possesses the characteristics of a Saint of the Heavenly Dao. With his physical body destroyed, the Heavenly Dao naturally senses it.

"Earth-breaking Chisel, this powerful?"

Xuanqing also did not expect that with the enhancement of the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" and "Heavenly Creation Talisman," the "Earth-breaking Chisel" could actually suppress the Curse Demon God.

But before he could rejoice, the body of the Curse Demon God re-condensed, and his eyes burst forth with an unprecedentedly fierce light.

The Heavenly Dao is indestructible, Saints do not die - it’s not just a joke. Although the Curse Demon God cannot be considered a complete Saint of the Heavenly Dao now, with his Primordial Spirit connected to the Heavenly Dao, he naturally can resurrect utilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao.

"Dao Birth and Destruction!"

Just as Xuanqing was thinking about how to handle the Curse Demon God, a Doomsday Sword Light traversed billions of miles of the void and fell onto the Curse Demon God.

The one who made the move was none other than Tongtian Sect Master wielding the Green Duckweed Sword.

Purple Qi came from the east, covering countless miles. Taiching, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master, and Nuwa Saint consecutively arrived in the Heavenly Court.

They had speculated that behind Ma Yi, perhaps the Curse Demon God was up to something. However, they did not expect him to have obtained that strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi from Hong Yun, and with it, he achieved Saint status, albeit incomplete, but this was due to the lack of Heavenly Dao’s origin!

If the origins of the Heavenly Dao were restored in the future, the Curse Demon God would naturally become a complete Saint of the Heavenly Dao.

"No!"

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly: "We must knock him down from the position of a Saint of the Heavenly Dao! Otherwise, I fear it will be impossible to completely suppress him!"

"Let me try this!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian Sect Master immediately snorted coldly. He then sacrificed the "Six Soul Banner" and, with the power of a Saint, imprinted the Curse Demon God’s name upon one of the banner’s tails. He activated the might of this Heavenly Dao Evil Treasure to the extreme; three thousand silhouettes of Chaos Demon Gods manifested and prostrated themselves towards the Curse Demon God.

Boom!

The void trembled, and the Curse Power spread across infinite timelines, aiming to suppress the Curse Demon God, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea – utterly ineffective.

"Hahaha!"

The Curse Demon God couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly: "I am the Curse Demon God, born alongside the Curse Great Dao. How could a mere bit of Curse Power harm me?"

"Swallow!"

With a laugh, he transformed into a hundred-legged centipede, swallowing the Curse Power in a single gulp, and then looked at Tongtian Sect Master with a provocative gaze.

"Blatherskite!"

Tongtian Sect Master frowned slightly and directly slashed out with a sword. The Doomsday Sword Qi filled the universe’s void, once again turning the Curse Demon God’s physical body into nothingness.

Blood rain fell torrentially, but Tongtian Sect Master knew that unless they could sever his connection with the Heavenly Dao, it would not be possible to slay the Curse Demon God.

"Let me give it a try!"

Seeing the Curse Demon God start to resurrect with the power of the Heavenly Dao, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately sacrificed the "Heaven Suppressing Coffin" and fiercely pressed it towards him.

This Heavenly Dao Evil Treasure, originating from the same source as the "Six Soul Banner," even if a Heavenly Dao Saint were to enter, even with your impressive abilities, it would only take forty-nine days to be eternally sealed and suppressed.

"No!"

This time, the Curse Demon God finally felt a hint of fear. He was not afraid of perishing, but feared being sealed forever in a place.

The "Heaven Suppressing Coffin" in Yuanshi Tianzun’s hands was formed from the Essence Blood and Primordial Spirits of three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. Within it, not only was there the "Burial World Divine Fire" capable of incinerating all things, but also a strange space where there was neither life nor death; however, once suppressed within, it would be more agonizing than death.

The Curse Demon God never imagined that, despite his plans going smoothly, in the end, because the Heavenly Dao’s origin was insufficient to sustain another Heavenly Dao Saint, his efforts were doomed to fail... Had he known this, he would have been better off lying low and seeking the opportunity to become a Saint of the Earth Dao.

"Regret?"

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered coldly and directly sealed the Curse Demon God’s Primordial Spirit into the "Heaven Suppressing Coffin": "Too late! Today, I will suppress you for all eternity!"

In fact, he had another thought in mind: to strip the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Curse Demon God’s body and allow his own disciple to take it over.

"Don’t even think about it!"

Upon seeing this, the Curse Demon God wanted to self-destruct to escape Yuanshi Tianzun’s suppression, but Taiching Laozi saw through his intentions.

"Tai Chi Diagram, suppress!"

The might of the Innate Treasure swept across the vault of heaven, evolving into Heavenly Dao Runes, which then transformed into Order Chains to firmly suppress the Curse Demon God.

Boom!

In just a moment, the Curse Demon God was sealed within the "Heaven Suppressing Coffin." Great Dao Runes appeared on the coffin body and lid, severing his connection with the Heavenly Dao with the aura of the Evil Treasure.

While Yuanshi Tianzun was dealing with the Curse Demon God, Xuanqing immediately returned to the Palace of the Polestar, found Haotian, who only had his Primordial Spirit left, and the "Nine-nine Soul Scattering Gourd" scattered among the ruins.

Seeing the "Nine-nine Soul Scattering Gourd," Xuanqing immediately understood the cause and effect. The Hongmeng Purple Qi in the Curse Demon God’s hands came from the kind-hearted Hongyun. When Ancestor Hongyun perished, the Curse Demon God had used unfathomable techniques to take Hongyun’s treasures.

Turquoise Pool also directly entered the Palace of the Polestar, and while looking at the "Haotian Tower" that sealed Haotian’s Primordial Spirit, she couldn’t help but be wary of Xuanqing.

People like Xuanqing, Nanji, and Taiyi joining the Heavenly Court was definitely not with good intentions.

At this moment, Haotian was extremely weak, and she was also seriously injured. If the other party wanted to turn violent, she and Haotian had no chance of survival.

She realized she had underestimated Xuanqing; the move he used against the Curse Demon God just now was something she could not have possibly stopped!

Xuanqing looked at the wary Turquoise Pool and couldn’t help but say with a smile: "What is my Shishu afraid of? Wasn’t it you who asked poor Dao and Nanji Daoist to take action and save Haotian Shishu? You better not forget your promise!"

"Your nephew has exhausted much effort to kill Ling Weiyang, Han Shuniu, and Chijiongnu, and thwart the Curse Demon God’s conspiracy!"

"Shishu wouldn’t be thinking of reneging on the deal, would you?"

He appeared as a smiling tiger, half joking, half threatening as he spoke: "If Shishu intends to renege on the deal, I would have to ask my teacher to decide what’s just!"

Haotian’s Primordial Spirit weakly spoke upon hearing the words: "Turquoise Pool, what did you promise him?"

"Give it to him!"

At this moment, Haotian’s condition was extremely poor, his Primordial Spirit dim, if not for the protection of the "Hao Tian Tower" over his True Spirit, he would have likely perished already!

Hearing Haotian’s words, Turquoise Pool immediately explained the situation to him using the most concise language.

This included the fact that the three True Gods—"Sui Renshi", "Plague Daoist", and "Suspended Garden Daoist"—were all incarnations of Xuanqing!

Upon hearing this, Haotian fell into silence, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Nephew Xuanqing, I truly underestimated you! No, I should say I underestimated my several elder brothers! Were it not for the Curse Demon God, I would not have known that my Heavenly Court has almost been hollowed out by you all!"

"I, as Heavenly Emperor, am truly a failure. In the eyes of you core disciples of the Xuan Sect, I have always been a joke from start to finish!"

Xuanqing’s expression did not change, he lightly smiled and said: "Uncle Master jests! You are the Heavenly Emperor personally consecrated by Daoist Ancestor, so long as you do not harbor thoughts that you shouldn’t, naturally no one can shake your position as Heavenly Emperor!"

His meaning was clear—if Haotian contentedly remained a puppet, he would still be the Primordial Heavenly Emperor, and the several Saints would not do anything to him!

But if he harbored thoughts he shouldn’t, wishing to emulate Emperor Jun and unify the Three Realms, the several Saints could not guarantee that an accident wouldn’t befall him.

Xuanqing knew very well that the change in the Heavenly Court must have been discovered by the several Saints long ago!

The reason they acted only now, might indeed include the intention of using the Barefoot Immortal or even the Curse Demon God to remove Haotian, the Heavenly Emperor!

However, compared to Haotian, the Curse Demon God was a bigger danger. If he became a Saint and changed the status quo, it would alter the entire landscape of the Primordial World.

"I’ve learned my lesson!"

Haotian’s weak voice sounded, his face void of any emotional fluctuations: "Turquoise Pool, give them the Spiritual Treasures that were promised to them!"

Upon hearing this, Turquoise Pool waved his hand grandly, and three Innate Spiritual Treasures of different shapes instantly fell into the hands of Xuanqing, Nanji, and Taiyi.

After that, she began to utilize her Divine Skills to release the constraints on the Barefoot Immortal and others, and with Great Magical Power, she quickly repaired the Palace of the Polestar.

By the time Taiching and the others had suppressed the Curse Demon God and arrived at the Palace of the Polestar, the place no longer bore the appearance of broken walls and ruins.

Haotian looked at the Saints in front of him and slowly spoke: "I thank the several elder brothers for saving my life. My injuries cannot recover in a short time, I will need to undergo Reincarnation Tribulation. I entrust Heavenly Court to the care of the several elder brothers!"

He was very clear—if he didn’t show appreciation for the situation, these Saints might no longer tolerate him, so he immediately made a strategic retreat!

"Good!"

Seeing Haotian’s awareness of the situation, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately nodded contentedly: "Since that is the case, we will not disturb little brother’s recuperation!"

After suppressing the Curse Demon God, the "Heavenly Emperor Seal" had come into his possession, but since Haotian knew his place, he did not wish to completely fall out with him.

Although right now both the "Investiture of the Gods" and the "Heavenly Emperor Seal" were in his hands, and theoretically, whoever he wanted to consecrate as the Primordial Heavenly Emperor would be... Haotian, after all, had a deep relationship with the Daoist Ancestor, and he still needed to give him some face outwardly!

Having said that, he left Heavenly Court with Taiching and Tongtian Sect Master. They prepared to first find a way to separate the Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Curse Demon God.
