Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Even when they joined forces, they could only manage a draw against Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Although it was merely a clash of the Great Dao, it still demonstrated the power of Dao Ancestor Hongjun to a certain extent.

Therefore, they urgently need a powerful force to calm their minds at this moment.

Nuwa said worriedly, "Indeed, this matter has exposed many problems. Putting aside the others for now, let's just talk about the tunnel. I think you all have noticed it, right? There is no trace of Houtu's divine consciousness in the tunnel. It is clear that Houtu has been suppressed by him."

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Pure Land scoffed, "He actually attacked the Witch Clan and even suppressed Houtu. What a waste of the Witch Clan's high regard for him back then!"

The fact that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was originally Pangu is not a secret among those who attained the Dao.

After all, when Dao Ancestor Hongjun shattered the prehistoric world, he harvested the laws and great Dao of all the great supernatural beings to settle the karma, which exposed this problem.

The Wu tribe was overjoyed at the time, but in the end, they could not believe it.

Although they still revere the great god Pangu, they no longer recognize that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun is the Pangu of the past.

Now that the underground passage is under the control of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, judging from this situation, the Wu Clan and even Houtu may be in serious trouble.

“Indeed. The reason why Dao Ancestor Hongjun is so powerful this time is because he has harvested the Earthly Passage. We must rescue Houtu and reclaim the Earthly Passage. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to contend with him again. The characteristics of the Creation Jade Disc are indeed troublesome!” Taiqing Daode Tianzun said to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and other later figures were all bewildered.

"The Jade Disc of Creation inherently governs the Three Thousand Great Daos. The more Great Dao authority it acquires, the stronger the Jade Disc of Creation becomes. This may also be why Dao Ancestor Hongjun collected the laws and Great Dao authority of the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable and the Primordial Dao Lord—to maximize the potential of the Jade Disc of Creation's characteristics," Taiqing Daode Tianzun solemnly explained.

Ying Zheng's eyes revealed apprehension: "If he truly gathers all the Great Dao authority, this Chaos Treasure might even unleash power surpassing this realm. Moreover, the more Great Dao authority the Creation Jade Disc contains, the more likely it is to enhance its foundation and improve its quality. The Creation Jade Disc today is vastly different from the one when the Primordial World was shattered!"

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity pondered for a moment and nodded: "That is indeed possible."
Everyone present fell silent. The current power of the Creation Jade Disc had exceeded their tolerance limit.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Ying Zheng solemnly said, "Since there are no objections, then go to the Underworld to rescue Houtu and the Wu tribe. This matter will be handled by Nuwa and me."

No one present objected. This was a difficult task that required facing Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly.

Now that Ying Zheng and Nuwa have taken the initiative, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

However, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun hesitated and looked at Ying Zheng: "If things cannot be done, you can ask us for help."

In response to Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun's concern, Ying Zheng shrugged and smiled, "Master, do you not know my character? If there is any danger, I will certainly call for your help. Alright, let's go first. The longer we delay, the more danger Houtu will face."

After speaking, Ying Zheng and Nuwa vanished in an instant, heading straight for the underworld.

After Ying Zheng and Nuwa left, Taiqing Daode Tianzun continued to preside over the council to discuss strategies for dealing with Daozu Hongjun.

At the same time, they were also discussing how to elevate the demon emperor Jun's demonic path.

Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to fight against Dao Ancestor Hongjun with the power of humanity alone.

Therefore, in addition to elevating the demonic path, it is also necessary to enhance their own strength.

They exchanged the intelligence they possessed, seeking ways to enhance their strength. This was also one of the agreements reached when the alliance was founded.

Everyone was working diligently. After all, no one wanted to become fuel for someone else's path to enlightenment.

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng and Nuwa had reached the outer edge of the Underworld. This place had been completely sealed off by the power of the underground tunnels.

Furthermore, chains formed by the power of various great paths such as the Soul Path, Spirit Path, and Nether Path, which are attached to the underground path, intertwine and form an underground magic net that seals off the Netherworld, leaving no gaps.

Each of the great worlds can only maintain the operation of the earth's channels by relying on the six paths of reincarnation that exist within their respective realms.

While there may be no major problems in the short term, this will inevitably have serious adverse consequences on the operation of the tunnel in the long run, and may even backfire on its owner.

This is the unique characteristic of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. The rulers of these three realms must abide by the corresponding rules.

Failure to fulfill responsibilities and causing significant consequences may result in backlash from Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

Seeing the underworld's blockade, Nuwa was deeply worried: "That scoundrel Hongjun, could he be planning to use the underground passage to turn against Houtu and strip her of her position as the master of the underground passage?"

Ying Zheng silently shook his head: "Impossible. If one wishes to strip the Lord of the Earthly Dao of the post-heavenly realm, there is no need to resort to such troublesome methods. It would take too long and involve too many variables."

Ying Zheng had already connected the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in his heart.

If what he predicted is true, then Dao Ancestor Hongjun intends to strip Hou Tudi Dao of his position as the supreme ruler.

There's no need for such elaborate scheme. Is it because they don't want to reveal the key details? Or is there another motive?
But in any case, Houtu must be saved.

Not to mention that she is the master of the underground passage, and having ruled over it for countless years, she should have made some discoveries.

If we could learn those secrets from him, it would save Ying Zheng a lot of time in exploring the mysteries of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

At this moment, what they lack most is time. No one knows when Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and Yangmei Ancestor will launch their plan to harvest the Great Dao, Laws, and Rules of all living beings in order to condense their Dao Fruits.

Ying Zheng and Nuwa looked at each other and nodded, their Eye of the Great Dao probing for loopholes and weaknesses in the underground network of magic.

After all, we don't know what kind of situation we will face next, so every bit of effort we can save is a bit of strength.

Ying Zheng conjured the Dao-Breaking Spear in his palm, its power permeating the air.

Even with Ying Zheng's current level of cultivation, he still couldn't fathom the origin of this spear. But he knew it was no ordinary chaotic treasure.

The power of breaking through the Dao that permeates it is clear proof of this; this power is extremely special.

As Ying Zhen reached this level, he became increasingly curious about this power that broke through the Dao.

However, he still couldn't trace it back to its origin.

Perhaps some unseen force is pushing them toward their predetermined destiny.

This may be related to the river of fate. If you have the time, you should perhaps take a journey along the river of fate.

After Ying Zheng took out the Breaking Dao Spear, Nuwa also held a red embroidered ball in her hand, with a map of mountains and rivers floating above her head, appearing ready to strike.

Beneath Ying Zheng's feet appeared a twenty-fifth-grade Primordial Purple Lotus, within which a figure in purple robes quietly coalesced.

Next, they will be attacking the Underworld and may even encounter Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so they cannot afford to be careless.

If they are caught off guard by an attack, they will likely face dire consequences facing a powerful figure like Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Therefore, it is better to maximize their defenses.

Then Ying Zheng threw out the Dao-Breaking Spear, imbuing it with the power of humanity and the Primordial Dao.

In an instant, the Dao-Breaking Spear emerged with the power to shatter all paths, instantly transforming into a stream of light that tore apart the laws of the earth.

"Qiang!"

Faced with the power of the Dao-breaking technique, the underground magic net crumbled inch by inch. Seeing this, Nuwa threw the red embroidered ball through the gap torn by the Dao-breaking spear.

Supported by Nuwa's magical power, the red embroidered ball uses the power of cause and effect and destiny to transform into countless threads, binding every inch of space in the underworld.

After thoroughly investigating the current state of the underworld, Ying Zheng and Nuwa entered the underworld through the soon-to-be-healed passage.

At this moment, the underworld seemed to freeze time, with everything stagnating at a certain point in time.

But looking into the depths of the underworld, it is the core of the six realms of reincarnation.

Ying Zheng could see that the Six Paths of Reincarnation were collapsing. Every inch of land in that void was filled with the cracks and shattering marks of the clash of the Great Daos.

In a daze, Ying Zheng even glimpsed the true form of Pangu, condensed by the ancestral witches.

This Pangu is not that Pangu.

Pangu is the embodiment of the Wu Clan's beliefs, formed by twelve powerful beings at the Hunyuan Daozhu level, who gathered the strength of the entire clan. In a short period of time, it is enough to contend with those who have attained Dao.

Even so, the underworld remained broken and suppressed.

It is clear that their resistance ultimately failed, and collapsed in a very short time. The enemy did not allow Houtu and the Wu tribe to send any message.

Ying Zheng and Nuwa arrived at the core area of ​​the Six Paths of Reincarnation, where fragments of the Houtu Palace drifted.

At this moment, the Six Paths of Reincarnation are in a state of collapse. It should be known that the Six Paths of Reincarnation are a crucial core component of the Earthly Path.

Even the cycle of six realms of reincarnation has been shattered, which shows how dangerous Houtu's current situation is.

The moment Ying Zheng arrived at this place, he looked towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation and vaguely saw Houtu's figure standing in the center of the cycle of reincarnation in the core area.

Only by using this figure as the core could the cycle of reincarnation not completely collapse.

However, in Ying Zheng's and Nuwa's perception, the aura of the underground passage was already negligible.

This was unusual, and Ying Zheng cautiously said, "Be careful!"

“I understand!” Nuwa turned to look at Ying Zheng and replied solemnly.

Then, under the dual protection of the Mountain and River Map and the Twenty-Five Grade Primordial Purple Lotus, the two headed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Although the cycle of reincarnation may seem secure now, it is an important part of the earthly path.

The power of the Earthly Dao is sufficient to drive the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Only Houtu had the foresight to not place the Great Dao of Reincarnation under the Earthly Dao; otherwise, the dominance of the Earthly Dao would have been even more terrifying.

As Ying Zheng and Nuwa stepped into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the omnipresent power of the earth began to converge into illusory forms.

The illusory figure stared indifferently at the core of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Jade Disc of Creation above its head turning slightly: "The time has come!"

The figure vanished without a trace. However, within this underground stronghold of the Underworld, the power of the underground passage and its origin stirred subtly.

However, all these movements were shielded by an invisible force, and even Ying Zheng and Nuwa, who were the ones who had attained enlightenment, were unable to sense the strange changes in the underground passage.

Houtu, who was trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, suddenly raised her head after sensing the arrival of Ying Zheng and Nuwa.

His once bright pupils now appeared empty, even carrying a hint of deep malice.

Nuwa immediately pulled Ying Zheng back: "Something's not right! She's not Houtu, or at least Houtu's true spirit isn't among them!"

Just then, Houtu's previously bound posture began to change.

The power of the earth no longer bound her; instead, she used it to her advantage: "Now that you've come, dear sister, why leave? Let me treat you well!"

As a strange laugh rang out, the incomplete Six Paths of Reincarnation were instantly mobilized by the underground passage.

That intangible, eerie laughter echoed in Ying Zheng's ears, disturbing his mind: "They have set a trap here, and there is no hope of escape. We have no choice but to fight. Moreover, this body truly belongs to Houtu. I wonder what kind of demons and monsters have possessed Houtu's true spirit after it was suppressed!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa was filled with resentment. She had a deep bond with Houtu.

Now that Houtu's body has been possessed by evil spirits, how could Nuwa not be furious?

She desperately wanted to shatter the evil entity within Houtu's body, but it was suppressed by the omnipresent power of the earth's energy.

A faint sense of danger emanated from her, and her sixth sense urged Nuwa to leave immediately.

At this moment, Nuwa formed hand seals, and the power of the Great Dao of Marriage, Cause and Effect, and Destiny was gradually mobilized.

These great powers merge into the great power of threads, and the omnipresent threads connect the power of the earth, binding and stringing them together into a beautiful picture.

However, this can only temporarily stop it. Outside the painting, the omnipresent power of the earth, driven by Houtu, is rushing towards the painting.

As the two collided, the red embroidered ball shimmered with an uncertain light, and countless threads wavered between breaking and repairing.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng's expression turned solemn. He looked around, searching for a way to escape: "There's no opening. It seems the only option is to break through head-on. Purple Robe!"

The purple-clad, mature woman's figure materialized from within the 25th-grade Primordial Purple Lotus: "Master, I understand!"

Then, under the purple robes' command, the lotus platform slightly turned, and the petals bloomed layer by layer. At the lotus core, each flower's stamen gathered a pale purple glow, containing the profound mysteries and essence of the Primordial Dao.

Ying Zheng's Dao-Breaking Spear appeared in his hand. With the support of the Human Dao and the Primordial Dao, that Dao-Breaking power instantly tore through the void and rushed straight towards Houtu.

"call out!"

"Qiang!"

Just as the two were about to meet, a magical wheel appeared in front of the Breaking Dao Spear, blocking the fatal blow for her.

The power of the earth gathers here, and this is the ultimate treasure of the earth—the Earthly Dharma Wheel!
"This is the Dharma Wheel of Houtu! Why is it in your hands? Where exactly is Houtu?" Nuwa asked anxiously.

Immediately, the Mountain and River Map unfolded above its head, covering the underworld with trillions of spaces, attempting to transform the world and make this place its domain. The power of Nuwa's Great Dao began to erode the power of the earth's channels.

However, when questioned by Nuwa, Houtu laughed maniacally: "Her Earthly Dao Wheel? Don't you find that laughable? She controls reincarnation, not the Earthly Dao! I am the sole master of the Earthly Dao! This object was also crafted by me; otherwise, how could she possibly control and craft such a supreme treasure of the Earthly Dao!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng seemed to understand something and said solemnly, "So that's how it is! You are the spirit of the earth, or rather, you are the earth itself!"

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Nuwa looked astonished.

Even she hadn't expected that the Great Dao could give birth to sentience; it was simply unbelievable.

Houtu's pupils contracted slightly, her previous madness gone: "You actually made such a guess! It seems you have some kind of connection to humanity. In that case, you will not be allowed to leave!"

Ying Zheng, sensing the current state of humanity, revealed the identity of the one who had taken over Houtu's physical body.

However, he never expected that this most unlikely thing would be the truth, which was truly unbelievable.

As the spirit of the Earthly Path roared, the Earthly Path Dharma Wheel floating before it began to rotate silently. The power of the Earthly Path was operating at its peak.

It even subtly borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao. Under the combined suppression of the Heavenly and Earthly Dao, the Breaking Dao Spear gradually showed signs of defeat.

At this moment, Ying Zheng looked at the woman in purple and exclaimed, "Zi Yi!"

The twenty-fifth grade Primordial Purple Lotus that had been protecting their feet immediately floated above their heads.

As the lotus blossoms, purple light flows forth. The specks of purple radiance gathered upon it contain the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos.

As the purple light converged, the figure in purple robes became increasingly ethereal. Seeing this, a flicker of pity crossed Ying Zheng's eyes, but at this moment, there was no other way!
"Primordial Purple Extreme Divine Light, go! Carry my will and shatter the Earthly Dao Dharma Wheel!" the purple-robed figure declared proudly.

This attack, which burned away the very essence of existence, even caused the Purple Robe's realm to become unstable.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the 24th rank, Ying Zheng was heartbroken. Nuwa quickly took out many innate spiritual materials for Ziyi to absorb.

As the Primordial Purple Divine Light pierced through, the spirit of the Earth Dao's eyes widened in shock: "How is this possible! How could your Primordial Dao be so perfect! I don't believe it! This must be your trick! Master, grant me more power! Unite Heaven and Earth, suppress!" (End of Chapter)
