As he performed the sword ritual, the other immortals also raised their own immortal soldiers, pointing at the Heavenly Venerate.

Daoist Wen, enraged, said, "Over these years, you have been deceiving us, making us work for you, under the guise of maintaining your own rule, not that of the Outer Heaven True God!"

Immortal Xi, grief-stricken, said, "So it was you who set the rule of the Hundred Days Demon Transformation, not the True God! Because of your decree of the Hundred Days Demon Transformation, how many lives were lost?"

Daoist Shen angrily said, "You forced us to destroy all Outer God Dojos and chase away Lady Houtu for your selfish reasons! You feared they would attract experts from the Huaxia Divine Continent!"

"When you killed the True King back then, claiming he desecrated the gods, I fear that was untrue! The one who desecrated the gods is you!"

"Wasn't it also you who killed Immortal Kou?"

...

Everyone criticized the Heavenly Venerate for his crimes, becoming more furious as they spoke. Suddenly, with a hiss, Immortal Lu's forehead burst open, a large hole appearing, revealing light through the front and back.

Immortal Lu stood frozen, touched his forehead, then the back of his head, his body swaying before collapsing to the ground.

The scolding voices around fell silent.

The Heavenly Venerate withdrew his finger, smiling, "You are all correct in what you said. So what then? Ruo Tong, Qing Yang has brought you into Despair Slope, but it was I who taught you Daoist Divine Powers. You are my disciple, and under your management, Despair Slope is well-organized. I appreciate you and give you a chance: kill them, select new Heavenly Dao Practitioners, and let them become Heavenly Dao Immortals."

Feng Ruotong hesitated, looking towards Immortal Ping, Daoist Wen, and the others.

The Heavenly Venerate smiled, "Rest assured, I keep my word. As long as you kill them, you will still be my disciple, and Despair Slope will remain unchanged. You don't really think you can take me on, do you? Remember, it was I who taught you."

"Ruo Tong wouldn't dare."

Feng Ruotong bowed and said, "Back when Senior Qing Yang built Heavenly Dao City, I did odd jobs within it. At that time, many of my friends and family had died, and others turned into Ghost Clan. I thought if I became a Ghost Clan member, I would be a small Yaksha, and my greatest achievement in life might just be living to adulthood. Senior Qing Yang brought me to Despair Slope, but it was the Heavenly Venerate who took me in. He taught me cultivation, imparted cultivation techniques, and guided my practice step by step. To me, the Heavenly Venerate is both a teacher and a father."

The Heavenly Venerate smiled, "You were very promising from a young age. You learned any Daoist skill quickly and mastered it with precision. I was very satisfied with you."

Feng Ruotong said, "Despair Slope has one hundred and eight Heavenly Dao practitioners. Losing a few Heavenly Dao immortals can quickly be made up with other practitioners. Their cultivation has all reached the brink of Harmonization, but without space for Harmonization, their cultivation has stagnated. Killing these few won't affect Despair Slope's strength."

The Heavenly Venerate smiled, "As long as you understand."

Feng Ruotong respectfully bowed to Immortal Ping and the others, sincerely saying, "Fellow Taoists, everyone has their own aspirations. Forgive me for not being able to go the same path as you!"

When he stood, he had already activated Immortal Law, filling the sky with peach blossoms, engulfing Immortal Ping and the others!

Immortal Ping, Daoist Wen, and the others were both shocked and angry. This divine skill, called 'Peach and Plum in Bloom,' was the one Feng Ruotong had used when destroying the Upper Realm.

"Immortal Feng, you are aiding a tyrant in his crimes, and you will inevitably suffer divine retribution!"

While resisting, Immortal Ping shouted, "The Heavenly Venerate is the true culprit behind the destruction of the Great Shang Era, your enemy who annihilated your clan..."

Before he could finish, the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence flew out from Feng Ruotong's sleeve, overturning towards the Heavenly Venerate. The Yin Yang Qi intermingled like milk and water, pouring downwards, covering the Heavenly Venerate in an instant.

All around the Heavenly Venerate, a fusion of water and fire reigned, fire within water, water within fire, refining all within!

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, originating from the Huaxia Divine Continent, was the most potent magical treasure, even more powerful than the Treasure Money and the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Sword!

It contained the profound Yin Yang Dao, so deep and mysteriously lethal that even Taiyi Golden Immortals couldn't withstand the scouring of its water and the burning of its fire, being reduced to a mere puddle in moments!

Feng Ruotong, delighted at having immobilized the Heavenly Venerate with one blow, immediately urged the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence and shouted, "Rise!"

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was lifted skyward, attempting to raise the Heavenly Venerate's body along with it, pulling him into the flask. But this attempt failed.

Feng Ruotong's expression changed drastically, trying again, yet the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence did not budge.

His heart sank sharply.

Though the power of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was immense, the disparity in strength between Feng Ruotong and the Heavenly Venerate was equally vast.

"Ruo Tong, you have disappointed me."

The voice of the Heavenly Venerate came from the sea of fire, "You have betrayed me and Despair Slope."

He began to walk out, while Feng Ruotong exerted all his mana, trying to confine the Heavenly Venerate within the fiery sea composed of Yin Yang Qi. If he delayed long enough, he could liquify and melt the Heavenly Venerate's physical body and Primordial Spirit!

Yet with every step the Heavenly Venerate took, it was as if pressing down on Feng Ruotong's chest, causing his Qi-Blood to surge violently, almost losing control over the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence!

"Feng Ruotong, you truly overestimate yourself!"

The Heavenly Venerate took another step forward, his powerful mana combatting the sea of fire, the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, and Feng Ruotong himself, causing blood to continuously flow from Feng Ruotong's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

The Heavenly Venerate stepped forward again, Feng Ruotong's body trembled, and blood gushed from his mouth.

An unbearable feeling overwhelmed him. Despite his boundless cultivation, having already comprehended the mysteries of the Golden Immortal years ago, even with only a small True God Dojo on Despair Slope for Harmonization, he had still managed to break through and achieve the Golden Immortal realm.

However, such an achievement was still too weak in front of the Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Venerate's cultivation and accomplishments had far surpassed him, with a trend of emerging from the sea of fire in just a few moments!

"Senior Brother Feng, we'll buy you time!"

Immortal Ping, Immortal Xi, Daoist Wen, and other immortals each summoned their Immortal Magical Treasures and charged into the sea of fire, meeting that vaguely visible figure.

Shen Liu-jun called out loudly, "Make sure to incinerate him!"

Even though this sea of fire, blended from Yin Yang Qi, was extremely dangerous to them, they still surged forward furiously surrounding the Heavenly Venerate, attacking him recklessly!

Feng Ruotong gritted his teeth, using all his mana to summon his Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit, maximizing the power of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence.

His anger erupted, his teeth stained red with blood, his clothes swelling as if inflated, and his skin cracking under the intensity of his own Qi-Blood circulation!

Not even the physical body of a Golden Immortal could withstand this current movement of True Qi!

Suddenly, in the sea of fire, Immortal Ping's head flew into the air, decapitated by the Heavenly Venerate, followed shortly by Immortal Xi being bisected at the waist!

Daoist Wen leapt into the air, raised the Immortal Artifact, Brahma Fire Order, pushing the Great Brahman Sacred Fire Technique to its extreme against the Heavenly Venerate, only for the Brahma Fire Order and his own Physical Body and Primordial Spirit to explode!

One by one, the Heavenly Dao immortals fell, and even though the Heavenly Venerate was suppressed and fighting against the refining power of the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence, killing these Heavenly Dao immortals required merely a single move!

At last, the final immortal fell.

The Heavenly Venerate panted heavily, his face somewhat hideous, his nose burnt and drooping like noodles.

His legs, too, were burned to softness, barely supporting his frame.

He moved outward, finally reaching the edge of the sea of fire.

Feng Ruotong, already shattered by the overwhelming power of the Heavenly Venerate, stood amidst a pool of his own blood, his skin torn open, the blood pooling into a blood pool on the ground.

Standing in the blood pool, Feng Ruotong's Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit stood tall behind him, clasping the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence in his arms, trying to force it upon the Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Venerate raised his right hand, using mana to support from beneath. With a dismissive hum, Feng Ruotong's Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit shattered like porcelain, surface cracking and exploding!

The Heavenly Venerate's expression shifted slightly as he saw the fingers of his right hand droop limply.

His hand was also burned soft.

The Heavenly Venerate reached out with his other hand, grabbing Feng Ruotong's throat, squeezing heavily, and with a crunching sound, the cracking of a neck was heard.

In the sky, Feng Ruotong's Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit exploded, and at the moment of shattering, the Flask of Yin and Yang Essence was thrown far away!

The Flask of Yin and Yang Essence transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the distance.

The Heavenly Venerate started to pursue, only for his legs to buckle and collapse to the ground.

His legs had been softened and melted, like mud.

He raised his hands and looked at the deformed hands, unable to stop trembling.

"Feng Ruotong!"
