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

On the other side, with the help of the Thirty-Six Grade Primordial Purple Lotus and the Eastern Emperor Bell, Nuwa, Donghuang Taiyi, and others launched a fierce attack on Ancestor Yangmei.

Even though Ancestor Yangmei was incredibly powerful, he couldn't withstand the relentless attacks from so many people.

Hundreds of willow branches barely managed to withstand Donghuang Taiyi's attack, while a red light shuttled back and forth among the willow trees in space-time—Nuwa was manipulating the red embroidered ball, constantly looking for opportunities to harm Yangmei Ancestor's true form.

Yang Mei Ancestor fought and retreated, hoping that Demon Ancestor Rahu or Dao Ancestor Hongjun would come to his aid.

But when he turned his head, he saw that the Demon Ancestor Rahu was being attacked by Ying Zheng and Pangu's primordial spirit, and was in dire need of protection.

He was about to rush to his rescue, but Nuwa had already seen through his intentions and pressed him relentlessly, giving him no chance to escape.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, come quickly to save me! I can't hold on much longer!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu desperately activated the God-Slaying Spear and the Demon Stone to resist the attacks of Ying Zheng and Pangu's primordial spirit respectively.

Pangu Avenue and the Demon Stone collided violently. This void could not withstand such terrifying power and was slowly annihilating and dissipating.

Upon seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had just escaped the entanglement of Pangu's axe, hurriedly attacked Ying Zheng.

"You brat Ying Zheng, stop being so arrogant!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun made hand seals, held a whisk in his right hand, and frantically poured his own power of the Great Dao into it.

He waved his whisk, releasing countless golden light waves, which he guided to bombard Ying Zheng.

Faced with the sudden attack of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ying Zheng had no choice but to temporarily abandon the suppression of Demon Ancestor Luohou and turn around to summon the Wheel of Destiny to block the sky full of light waves.

With Ying Zheng's departure, Demon Ancestor Rahu felt a significant reduction in pressure and breathed a long sigh of relief. He had almost collapsed just now, and the arrival of Dao Ancestor Hongjun had given him a chance to catch his breath.

"Hongjun, you'd better give up now! You have no chance of winning this battle. Why not just surrender?"

Ying Zheng urged the Wheel of Fate to work while speaking to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"You want me to give up? Ying Zheng, have you lost your mind?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face was full of mockery.

As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to frantically release light waves, pouring them towards Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Dao Ancestor Hongjun showed no sign of backing down, Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly. Given the current situation, as long as he joined forces with Pangu's primordial spirit, they would surely be able to prevent the descent of the primordial world.

In this battle zone, the power of the Dao overflowed, and the booming sounds of colliding laws echoed everywhere, lasting for a long time.

Pangu's primordial spirit continued to wield the Pangu Axe, and the Demon Ancestor Rahu gradually could not hold on any longer, his figure began to stagger backward.

Meanwhile, Yang Mei, the ancestor, was also being besieged by Nuwa and others and was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, both Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei heard Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice transmission in their ears:
"This can't go on; we'll be defeated sooner or later. They have a large and powerful force, plus Ying Zheng and Pangu's primordial spirit. Our chances of winning are slim."

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei both looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and asked in a telepathic voice:
"What can we do now? They're clinging to us tightly, and we can't break free at all."

"You all move closer to me in a moment. I can use the power of the Primordial Core to hinder them—after all, their primary goal is to prevent the Primordial Era from descending."

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu immediately pretended to be swaying and retreated continuously, and the direction he retreated was getting closer and closer to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

While fending off the attacks of Nuwa and Donghuang Taiyi, Yangmei Ancestor also subtly moved closer to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Before long, Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei finally gathered beside Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"What chance do you think you have now? Hand over the Primordial Core at once!"

Ying Zheng stared at the three Dao Ancestors, including Hongjun, who were gathered together.

"You want us to hand over the Primordial Core? You're dreaming. But... I can give you a chance to get it."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked utterly incredulous.

"Are you really willing to hand over the Primordial Core?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng had taken the bait, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded slightly and then said:
"If you agree to let the three of us leave, I will give you the Primordial Core."

"Let you go? You've got a good plan. We've gone to so much trouble not just to stop the primordial chaos from descending—we also want to kill the three of you here."

Ying Zheng saw through Dao Ancestor Hongjun's scheme at a glance.

The so-called surrender of the primordial core by Dao Ancestor Hongjun was nothing but a ruse. As long as the three of them survive, there's a chance to bring the primordial world back to life.

However, by now, the feud between Ying Zheng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun has escalated to the point of being irreconcilable.

If Pangu's primordial spirit hadn't arrived in time, he would probably have been killed by the combined forces of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was not giving him any way out, Dao Ancestor Hongjun simply went all out and directly summoned the core of the primordial world.

"Luo Hou, Yang Mei, transfer all your power to me!"

"The three of us will not leave today—the primordial world is about to descend, and you can all wait to welcome its arrival!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei were filled with doubt—just now, Dao Ancestor Hongjun said he would try to escape, so why did he suddenly want to fight to the death?
But there was no time to think further. The two immediately activated their own Dao power and poured it continuously into Dao Ancestor Hongjun's body.

The primordial core is now enormous, with countless worlds integrated into it, making its area vast and boundless.

After summoning the core of the primordial world, Dao Ancestor Hongjun frantically poured his own Dao power into it, accelerating the process of the primordial world's descent.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed drastically.

"Great God Pangu, stop him! We must not allow the primordial world to descend!"

He hurriedly called out to the primordial spirit of Pangu.

The moment the primordial core appeared, a terrifying sense of oppression swept over. Nuwa and the others all used their Dao power to resist this pressure.

Pangu's primordial spirit wielded the Pangu Axe, repeatedly striking at Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Luo Hou, Yang Mei, hold him off for me!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu immediately unleashed the God-Slaying Spear to meet the attack of Pangu's primordial spirit.

As the primordial world continued to manifest, that illusory figure became increasingly solid.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng hurriedly summoned the River of Destiny and rushed towards the core of the primordial world.

"Trying to stop it now? Don't you think it's too late?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said coldly.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, have you thought this through? Do you know what the consequences will be after the primordial world descends? If those transcendent beings appear then, you and I will both become their dead souls!"

While manipulating the River of Destiny to fight against the core of the primordial world, Ying Zheng sternly reminded Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"So what? Even if I die, I'll drag you all down with me!"

Hearing the nonchalant tone of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ying Zheng flashed and rushed directly towards the core of the prehistoric world.

He frantically poured his own Dao power into the core of the primordial world, attempting to seize control of it.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was also injecting his Dao power into it, Dao Ancestor Hongjun stopped.

"Since you want it, then you can have it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun unleashed the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, smashing them down towards the River of Destiny. A tremendous roar resounded throughout the void battlefield.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had already begun to vie for control of the core of the primordial world, and that the descent of the primordial world, though somewhat slowed, was still continuing, Pangu's primordial spirit said, "Ying Zheng, I will lend you a hand."

Pangu's primordial spirit also rushed towards the core of the primordial world. His Dao body had not yet been formed, and the arrival of the primordial world would be a bad thing for him.

After all, Pangu made countless enemies before his fall, and those rivals are still secretly watching him. If they come knocking on his door, he will be in grave danger.

When Nuwa and the others saw that Pangu's primordial spirit had also gone to help, they stopped paying attention to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other two, and stepped forward to help.

"Demon Ancestor Rahu, Ancestor Yangmei, if you don't leave now, when will you?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun glanced at the two people who were stunned in place, said these words, and then disappeared into the distance.

When Demon Ancestor Rahu came to his senses, he saw that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already fled, so he immediately followed him and left together.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Yangmei Patriarch hurriedly increased his speed and chased after the two who had left.

"Ying Zheng, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other two have escaped. What should we do?"

Donghuang Taiyi watched the three people walk away and then turned to ask.

"We can't worry about them now. The most important thing is to stop the primordial world from descending."

Ying Zheng continued to urge his Dao power, attempting to separate the primordial core from the many worlds.

As long as the core of the primordial world is separated from these worlds, the time when the primordial world descends will be greatly delayed.

With everyone working together, they continuously poured Dao power into the primordial core. Under their combined efforts, the primordial core slowly detached itself from countless worlds.

……

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

Ying Zheng and the others collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

The illusory image of heaven and earth above their heads had dissipated, leaving only Ying Zheng holding the primordial core that had just been extracted.

"Give me this primordial core. I will keep it safe."

A voice suddenly rang out.

Ying Zheng looked up and found that there was another person beside him—it was the primordial spirit of Pangu.

"Great God Pangu, what do you need this primordial core for?"

Ying Zheng subconsciously moved the Primordial Core behind him and asked.

Pangu's primordial spirit remained unchanged, and he said calmly:
"This item will greatly benefit my condensation of my Dao body. Although I am still lacking some materials, it is enough to reshape my Dao body with this."

Upon learning that Pangu's primordial spirit intended to use the core of the primordial world to reshape his Dao body, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, then said:

"Great God Pangu, could you please wait a little longer? The core of this primordial world is the Dao body of an old friend of mine. He has already perished, but I have retrieved his mark from the river of destiny."

"After I resurrect him, I will hand over this primordial core to you. What do you say?"

“Alright. When you rescue your fellow Daoist, you can give me this item. I can wait.”

Pangu waited for two or three epochs, so it's understandable that he would wait a little longer.

"Ying Zheng and Dao Ancestor Hongjun have already escaped. So much time has passed, we are afraid we will never find any trace of them again."

Nuwa said to Ying Zheng.

"With the great god Pangu here, how could we not find them? Let's recover our Dao power here first, and then go find the three of them when we're almost fully recovered."

Nuwa and the others nodded upon hearing this, and immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground to begin recovering their strength.

……

"Hongjun, you... really just handed over the core of the Primordial World to them like that?"

In a secluded place, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and two others gathered together. Demon Ancestor Luo Hou couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha……"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun burst into laughter.

"What they obtained was merely a counterfeit, conjured by my Dao power and imbued with the essence of the Primordial Core. The true Primordial Core remains in my hands."

At this moment, Ying Zheng and the others were making the most of their time to recover their strength when suddenly, Ying Zheng, whose mind was immersed in the River of Destiny, seemed to realize something.

The primordial world will eventually descend; in the rehearsal of the long river of destiny, this seems to have become an unchangeable established fact.

Ying Zheng was at a loss for what to do. He slowly got up and looked around at the faces of his fellow Daoists in a daze. The feeling of helplessness, which was greater than the despair of death, almost overwhelmed him.

"How can all this end? Has everything we've done been in vain?"

He was filled with doubt and at a loss. Only after everyone worked together to deduce the truth did they discover that behind the continuous evolution of this primordial core, the operational trajectory of the three Dao forces of Heaven, Earth, and Man was actually in control.

I was deceived—this truth is so heartbreaking and hard to accept.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Ying Zheng's gaze finally settled on Nuwa's face.

He seemed to hope that his Daoist partner could give him some strength so that he would no longer feel so lost and powerless.

The voice of the great god Pangu slowly resounded:
"Some things are ultimately beyond human control. But we have done our best, and we can only hope that our thoughts are clear."

"As for the final outcome, there's really no need to worry too much. The most urgent thing is for us to find Hongjun and figure out the real core issue."

Pangu's primordial spirit spoke, offering guidance to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng also understood that some things were ultimately unavoidable:

"That's right, I don't seek to do good for all living beings, but only to be true to my conscience."

We just need to do our best.

Nuwa vaguely felt that Ying Zheng might have sensed some ominous sign.

But she didn't say much, only silently casting an encouraging glance at Ying Zheng.

Although she didn't understand why Ying Zheng was like this, she always felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind his silence.

No matter what happens, no matter the outcome, she will wholeheartedly support Ying Zheng, always follow him, and never leave him.

Pangu's primordial spirit, hidden within Ying Zheng's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, followed the imprint and tracked it all the way to the outer reaches of the Heaven of Separation. This place had already been imbued with the power of the primordial core.

As the impact of the impending arrival of the primordial world intensifies, the closer one gets to the heart of the primordial world, the more chaotic and fragmented the laws of the Great Dao become!
It was as if all paths were collapsing, yet they were also re-merging and evolving in an inconceivable direction.

If an ordinary immortal were to approach this place, their own Dao principles would become unstable, and they would likely vanish in an instant, becoming nourishment for the Heart of the Primordial World.

Ying Zheng and Pangu's primordial spirit finally confronted Dao Ancestor Hongjun here.

"You really are a persistent ghost, Ying Zheng. In the end, you still want to stop this old Taoist." Dao Ancestor Hongjun said with a helpless smile.

"This old Taoist truly cannot understand. With your skills, even if the entire primordial world descended upon you, you would surely achieve great things. Why do you insist on making trouble for the three of us?" (End of Chapter)
