Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 480 - 253: Kill
```
However, as soon as they appeared, they felt the strangeness in the air around them; it seemed that in an instant, the two of them had become the main characters on stage, with the eyes of countless powerful beings from all three realms instantly falling upon them, giving them a sensation of needles on their back.
Glancing past the disheveled Green Lion and Bai Xiang, when they saw Lu Yu behind them, holding a treasured sword and brimming with killing intent, they immediately became furious. Such a "Nameless" dared to do this, not noticing the schadenfreude in the eyes of the powerful beings of the three realms.
The moment the Sect Hierarch and the Spirit Tooth Immortal made their move, Lu Yu felt immense pressure. They were both individuals who had achieved the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" with the "Five Qi" towards the primordial, and now they were attacking with all their might, causing Lu Yu to feel an immense pressure.
However, Lu Yu did not feel afraid in the least; the situation had progressed to a point where it was no longer a conflict between him and the Green Lion and Bai Xiang, but rather a conflict between the human race and those who looked down upon the dignity of the human race.
With his aura unleashed, and connecting to Jixia Academy, Lu Yu began to demonstrate for the first time the true strength of a Human Sage, mobilizing the supreme treasure of Jixia Academy to suppress the enemies of the human race.
Jixia Academy was a revered artifact of the human race, forged from the bodies of countless sages with the fire of civilization over endless ages. It had grown increasingly powerful with the growth and strengthening of the human race and was a culmination of the Human Path of the three realms.
Since the prosperity of the Human Path, there had been no signs of its use, but now, as it connected with Lu Yu's aura, this hall of the many sages descended from the heavens.
Enveloped by countless wisps of white qi, an ancient stone hall slowly descended. The ethereal figures of numerous Human Sages appeared in the sky, each with a distinct image but all bearing a unique aura–an aura capable of carving paths for the world.
The moment Jixia Academy appeared, the Sect Hierarch and the Spirit Tooth Immortal were dumbfounded. They had lived through lengthy eons and naturally recognized Jixia Academy and understood what it represented. Throughout time, countless Demon Beasts and Ghost Deities that had troubled the human race had been subdued by this Magical Treasure. Some were even beyond what they could handle. However, since the human race had settled, this hall had faded into the background and had not been seen for many years.
Thus, the two figures, who had seemed so imposing only moments before, were instantly stunned. They looked in disbelief at the Green Lion and Bai Xiang hiding behind them, their brows furrowed deeply, wondering what heinous deeds these two had committed to provoke the descent of this hall to the mortal realm.

At that moment, the ethereal figures of the Human Sages had filled the entire world, white light blossomed, and the voices of the sages expounding the Great Dao echoed through the three realms. They all articulated their understanding of the Great Dao, provoking deep contemplation, and as time passed, the figures of the sages became more solidified, as if they had transcended the bounds of time and descended here.
A massive pressure suddenly emerged between heaven and earth, oppressing all Cultivators. It made their mana feel incredibly heavy as if they had become mere mortals. Even those with profound mana could not utilize their Divine Skills.
The terrifying power of the Human Path completely suppressed the Cultivators. At this moment, the Sect Hierarch and the Spirit Tooth Immortal were especially miserable; while all those affected felt this way, let alone the two of them who faced the full brunt of this pressure.
Pressure as if an entire world had descended upon their shoulders, and even with their "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" realm, they still found it incredibly suffocating. What was even more terrifying was that the figures of the sages had yet to fully materialize.
The white light parted, and a tall, elderly figure slowly walked out, with a treasured sword hung at his waist. His hands appeared to perform an ancient rite, his expression stern and earnest as he looked straight ahead.

Countless principles emerged as articles, surrounding his body, with seventy-two illusory figures closely circling him. At this instant, it seemed as if an invisible net spanned heaven and earth, ensnaring all beings of the Three Realms.
Suddenly, a Buddha sat under the Bodhi Tree, smiling as he twirled a flower, while an old man rode the Green Ox, followed by a vast expanse of Purple Qi.
The moment these three appeared, the First Immortal and Spirit Tooth Immortal could no longer sustain themselves, collapsing to the ground under the immense pressure, their eyes bulging as they glared furiously at Green Lion and Bai Xiang, who were equally disheveled. The rage in their eyes could have incinerated the two juniors to ashes.
Green Lion and Bai Xiang were also stricken with fear. They had not anticipated that even with their ancestor personally intervening, the outcome would be so dire. Now they understood why so many elders in their tribe spoke of the human race with faces full of fear.
At the time, they dismissed it, thinking these old ones were simply cowardly, having lost their edge in fear of such a meek race.
In their eyes, the human race was an extremely weak existence among the races of the Three Realms. Had it not been for the protection of the Heavenly Court, they would have been wiped out long ago. It was hard for them, as youngsters, to accept that such a race was called the protagonist of the Three Realms. They vowed to achieve something great, to prove their own strength.
The Journey to the West presented them with a perfect opportunity. Ignoring the advice of their tribe to refrain from causing minor disturbances, they teamed up with Dapeng, seized Lion Camel City, and devoured all its citizens. Even more extreme was Bai Xiang's suggestion to breed humans for food.
Now, faced with great adversity, looking at their disgraced ancestor, they knew they were likely doomed and finally understood the elders' deep apprehension towards the human race.
Lu Yu, however, had no interest in the inner thoughts of Green Lion and Bai Xiang. As one of the Human Sages, his sacred duty was to kill demon beasts that harmed the human race. He wielded the Sword of State and leaped to the side of Green Lion and Bai Xiang.
His arm rose, and with a swift cut, blood sprayed, staining the sky red. Two massive heads soared into the air, falling before Lion Camel City. Lu Yu put away his treasured sword and stared unflinchingly at First Immortal and Spirit Tooth Immortal, his eyes ablaze.
In contrast, this terrifying stare rattled the motionless Immortals of Tongtian, who were now as vulnerable as mortals, suppressed by Jixia Academy. They feared that in his blazing gaze, Lu Yu might decide to kill them too in his fervor.
Suddenly, a Sword Intent descended from the sky, carrying the meaning of the Great Dao's culmination, gently landing before Lu Yu. He touched it, and saw that the Sword Intent instantly transformed into a piece of white paper, upon which was inscribed the ancient character: Sword!
Through this piece of white paper, Lu Yu seemed to see the end of all things, the destruction of the Great Dao, the endpoint of the world, and he understood that this was the Tongtian Sect Leader's Sword Intent. The Sect Leader had sent this paper to him, likely as a request to spare the lives of the two before him.
Indeed, Lu Yu had just been contemplating killing them. After all, he had slain someone the Sect Leader deeply valued, making it hard to guarantee they wouldn't seek revenge in the future. The best way would have been to eradicate the threat forever.
