Chapter 331: True Body of Creation!

Chapter 331: True Body of Creation!

The swordsmanship of Tongtian Jiaozhu is renowned, and all the Saints are well aware of its power. However, the fact that it ranks seventh, surpassing the strongest techniques and divine powers of Saints like Laozi, Zhunti, and Yuanshi Tianzun, caught everyone by surprise.

Although other techniques and divine powers had appeared earlier in the rankings, it was evident that the techniques of the previously featured Saints had already been revealed. As the list approached the seventh spot, the anticipation for the next ranking built up, with everyone growing increasingly impatient.

[Sun Wukong: Why is the announcement taking so long? It's killing me! If the seventh place is already so powerful, who could possibly rank sixth?]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: Don't be anxious; look, the text on the rankings is changing!]

Shortly after Sun Wukong spoke, the ranking on the technique list changed. The seventh-ranked entry disappeared, and the sixth-ranked one gradually emerged.

[Technique List, Sixth Place: True Body of Creation

User: Ancestor Hongjun]

The appearance of this technique left no room for dissent. As the universally acknowledged strongest being in the Primordial Era, Ancestor Hongjun's technique was naturally among his most formidable.

[Laozi: So it's the True Body of Creation. I didn't expect such a powerful technique to rank only sixth. What exactly went wrong?]

Laozi and the other Saints, as disciples of Ancestor Hongjun, were well-acquainted with his formidable abilities. Even though Ancestor Hongjun had become a Heavenly Path Saint and his strength was immeasurable, the Saints still had a general understanding of his most powerful techniques and divine abilities.

The True Body of Creation was considered the most powerful physical body technique in the Primordial Era. Compared to it, the Arhat Golden Body was nothing. This was the distinction between a Heavenly Path Saint and an ordinary Saint.

Although Ancestor Hongjun was only a pseudo-Heavenly Path Saint, he was still capable of merging with the Heavenly Dao and borrowing its power. His strength was far beyond the reach of ordinary Saints.

As one of Ancestor Hongjun's top two techniques, the True Body of Creation should have been among the strongest in the Primordial Era. Yet, it was ranked only sixth, leaving not just Laozi but all the other Saints perplexed.

[Tongtian Jiaozhu: The Golden List is so meticulous that it couldn't possibly make a mistake. But who in the Primordial Era could possess a technique more powerful than our master's?]

[Nuwa: During the early days of the Primordial Era, perhaps there were other great beings. But after so much time, where could they possibly hide? Moreover, for someone this powerful to have never appeared before—who could it be?]

The Saints racked their brains, trying to identify a potential candidate. The name "Ye Tian" crossed their minds, but even if Ye Tian were extraordinary, how could he dominate multiple spots in the rankings? With five higher-ranked techniques still remaining, it seemed unlikely that one person could occupy them all. This was mere speculation on their part.

In the vast and boundless chaos, Ancestor Hongjun suddenly appeared, his body glowing brilliantly. The True Body of Creation manifested.

Once activated, this technique could enhance the user's power and increase their defenses, making it an all-encompassing ability.

Ancestor Hongjun extended a palm, causing the chaotic void to collapse. A vast expanse of stars and rivers shattered completely under his strike.

This overwhelming power left many spectators dumbfounded. While Saints might still maintain their composure, weaker beings were utterly unprepared for such strength. It surpassed their imagination, even if they multiplied their expectations tenfold.

For them, witnessing Ancestor Hongjun in action was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

[Sun Wukong: So this is the power of a Saint merged with the Heavenly Dao! Truly the strongest Saint in the Primordial Era. Who could possibly surpass this? If I could borrow even a fraction of this power, how could Five Elements Mountain hold me down?]

Although Sun Wukong was in awe of Ancestor Hongjun's displayed strength, he couldn't let go of his resentment toward Five Elements Mountain. Being trapped under it had left him bitter and consumed by the thought of escape.

[Erlang Shen: Witnessing this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is the strongest being in the Primordial Era. Without the Golden List, we would never have had such an opportunity!]

[Haotian Jade Emperor: The rankings not only provide rewards that enhance strength but also allow us to witness such marvels. It truly is a priceless treasure!]

As everyone marveled at the spectacle, the scene wasn't over yet. After showcasing immense power, Ancestor Hongjun suddenly faced attacks from all directions, each carrying the force of a full-powered strike from a Saint.

Yet, Ancestor Hongjun didn't move. He didn't resist at all.

The attacks struck his physical body directly, but the True Body of Creation emitted a radiant glow, nullifying every single one of the devastating blows.

As the shockwaves subsided, Ancestor Hongjun stood unscathed, unmoving, and unharmed. The sight left everyone in awe.

[Taiyi Zhenren: This is incredible! So many Saint-level attacks, yet he emerged completely unscathed. And the most frightening part is that he didn't even move!]

[Ancestor Minghe: This level of power is beyond what any Saint could achieve. Only Ancestor Hongjun could wield such might!]

Ancestor Minghe was deeply shocked by the scene, but also somewhat melancholic. Ancestor Hongjun had been a mighty figure before Minghe's time, and his strength had now grown unfathomable.

Reflecting on the Saints from his own era, Minghe felt a pang of sorrow. They had all attained sainthood, while he was still striving for that step. Yet, witnessing the power of the True Body of Creation only strengthened his resolve to break through. Without sainthood, he would remain powerless to control his own destiny.

[Nezha: I was almost dumbfounded just now! This is beyond anything I could have imagined!]
