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

In the brief moment when Demon Ancestor Rahu was blocking an attack from Pangu's primordial spirit, he secretly transmitted his voice to Ancestor Yangmei:
"Yang Mei, we've been fighting for so long, why hasn't Ying Zheng shown up yet?"

While urging the Space-Time Willow Tree to unleash its space-time power to attack Donghuang Taiyi and the others, Ancestor Yangmei responded:

"Ying Zheng... perhaps he was exhausted from trying to stop the primordial world from descending, and is no longer able to fight against us?"

Hearing Yang Mei's answer, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou still felt somewhat uneasy.

"Hold on for one more hour! I've found the core of the primordial world! In one hour, I'll be able to completely control it!"

Upon hearing these words from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he realized that if he could hold on for just one more hour, he would be able to unleash the primordial world.

Just then, Donghuang Taiyi suddenly launched a fierce attack on Yangmei Patriarch.

Ancestor Yangmei narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression solemn.

Although Donghuang Taiyi was not as strong as himself, he was able to withstand his attacks thanks to the protection of the Donghuang Bell. For the time being, he really couldn't defeat Donghuang Taiyi.

Moreover, Houtu and the others would launch attacks at him from time to time. He had to deal with Donghuang Taiyi's fierce attacks while also guarding against Houtu and the others' sneak attacks.

Yangmei Patriarch suddenly felt immense pressure.

Donghuang Taiyi's reckless fighting style secretly alarmed Yangmei Ancestor.

Because of the extremely close proximity, Ancestor Yangmei dared not be careless in the slightest.

He desperately urged the Space-Time Willow Tree to continuously resist Donghuang Taiyi's attacks. Before long, several bloody wounds appeared on Donghuang Taiyi's body.

With the help of Houtu and others, Donghuang Taiyi seized an opening and thrust directly at Yangmei Ancestor.

At this moment, Ancestor Yangmei wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.

"Yang Mei, have a bowl of this!"

Having said that, Donghuang Taiyi activated the Donghuang Bell and hurled it towards Yangmei Ancestor. The Donghuang Bell instantly struck Yangmei Ancestor.

Just as the Eastern Emperor Bell was about to strike Ancestor Yangmei, Ancestor Yangmei pushed the Space-Time Willow Tree, and its thousands of branches pierced through Eastern Emperor Taiyi's chest. Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body fell backward.

Yang Mei, the patriarch, was knocked to the ground by the Eastern Emperor Bell, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

However, Donghuang Taiyi's situation was also far from optimistic at this time.

Houtu and the others stopped their attack and quickly came to Donghuang Taiyi's side.

"Are you alright?" Houtu asked with concern.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun took out a healing pill that he had just successfully refined from his Bagua Furnace and gave it to Donghuang Taiyi.

"I'm fine... You all need to stop Dao Ancestor Hongjun! If the primordial world descends, we'll all be doomed!"

With that, Donghuang Taiyi endured the excruciating pain and flew away into the distance.

Houtu and the others then continued their battle with Yangmei Ancestor. However, without Donghuang Taiyi's assistance, they found themselves struggling immensely.

After leaving several healing pills for Donghuang Taiyi, Taiqing Daode Tianzun rejoined the battle.

While fending off the attacks, Ancestor Yangmei spoke to Houtu and the others:

"Why are you doing this? Letting the primordial world descend would benefit everyone. Now, if you are willing to surrender to us, I will spare your lives."

Upon hearing this, Houtu immediately spat:
"What unrealistic dreams are you having? You want us to surrender? You're just dreaming."

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun then added:
"Even if we surrender to you now, we'll probably be the first to die. Do you think we'll still trust you then?"

Seeing that his attempts to persuade them to surrender had failed, Ancestor Yangmei stopped wasting words and continued to unleash his spacetime power, launching a fierce attack on Houtu and the others.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was also extremely nervous. After the core of the primordial world separated from him, the difficulty of regaining control of it was far beyond his imagination.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun carefully controlled his own Dao power, merging it bit by bit into the core of the primordial world.

At this time, the primordial world had become ownerless, and the core of the primordial world exerted an extremely strong repulsive force against Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun held his breath and focused his mind, his expression extremely solemn, fearing that something might go wrong.

At the same time, Demon Ancestor Rahu was struggling to withstand the fierce attack of Pangu's primordial spirit.

Although Pangu's primordial spirit has not yet reconstructed its physical body, Pangu was once a half-step transcendent being. Even though only a primordial spirit remains now, its strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

"You despicable wretch, how dare you even think of stopping me? You'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals, and you're even plotting to destroy all living beings!"

After Pangu's primordial spirit swung his axe at the Demon Ancestor Rahu, he coldly rebuked him.

Demon Ancestor Rahu activated the God-Slaying Spear, barely managing to withstand the attack of Pangu's primordial spirit.

In the fierce battle with Pangu's primordial spirit, Demon Ancestor Rahu also suffered many injuries.

"You are nothing but an ancient being from a few eras ago. What do the affairs of this world have to do with you now?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu brandished the God-Slaying Spear and spoke to the primordial spirit of Pangu.

Upon hearing this, Pangu's primordial spirit snorted coldly and laughed:

"If it weren't for me, who knows where you would be barely surviving right now? How dare you speak such nonsense to me here?"

Pangu's primordial spirit gripped the Pangu Axe tightly in his right hand, his expression solemn and dignified.

Even though Pangu is currently only in his primordial spirit state, his strength is enough to overwhelm the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"One axe splits the heavens!"

With a command from the primordial spirit of Pangu, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the Pangu Axe, and endless power of heaven and earth gathered on the axe.

With a wave of his hand, Pangu's primordial spirit unleashed a massive axe shadow that hurtled toward Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Demon Ancestor Rahu knew he was no match for Pangu's primordial spirit, but in order to buy time for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he could only struggle on.

He integrated the power of the Great Dao of Destruction and the power of the Demonic Path into the God-Slaying Spear and thrust it forward with all his might.

In the void, the enormous axe shadow and the sharp spear shadow collided violently, and the resulting fluctuations of Dao power spread wildly in all directions.

Pangu's primordial spirit and the Demon Ancestor Rahu each continuously poured their own Dao power into the axe shadow and the spear shadow.

"Stop your futile struggles. You cannot obtain this primordial world."

As Pangu's primordial spirit infused the axe shadow with his Dao power, he spoke to the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

At this moment, large beads of sweat had already formed on the forehead of Demon Ancestor Rahu. He gritted his teeth and said:
"If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be condemned by heaven and earth. Today, we are determined to obtain this primordial world!"

Before he finished speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu exerted all his strength to unleash his Dao power and continue to fight against the axe shadow condensed by Pangu's primordial spirit.

……

"Ying Zheng, how much longer do you think it will take us to get there?"

Nuwa asked Ying Zheng.

Nuwa and Ying Zheng, who were rushing towards the primordial world, were now fully activating their Dao power, fearing that something unexpected might happen to the primordial world.

"Soon, in half an hour at most we will arrive at the Primordial World. Hopefully, we can still make it in time."

Ying Zheng replied.

Nuwa nodded and followed closely behind Ying Zheng.

Ancestor Yangmei activated the Space-Time Willow Tree, continuously launching attacks on Houtu and the others, who gradually found themselves unable to withstand the onslaught.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun addressed the crowd:
"This can't go on; we'll eventually break down."

After Houtu withstood a round of attacks from the Space-Time Willow Tree, she said to Taiqing Daode Tianzun: "Ancestor Yangmei's attacks are too fierce; we are no match for him at all."

When Donghuang Taiyi was still around, the group was able to barely hold their own against Yangmei Ancestor.

But now that Donghuang Taiyi is injured and has left the field, the others can only barely withstand the attacks of Yangmei Ancestor.

Just then, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun stepped forward.

The three of them made hand seals, forming the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Powers Formation.

As the grand formation took shape, Houtu and the others, under the protection of the Three Talents Grand Formation, began to launch a counterattack against Ancestor Yangmei.

"You think you can stop me with just a few of you? You'll leave your lives here today!"

Ancestor Yangmei kept urging the Space-Time Willow Tree and shouted at Houtu and the others.

In the void, the power of spacetime swirled around Ancestor Yangmei, continuously launching attacks on Houtu and the others.

"Let me tell you, you won't be so arrogant when Ying Zheng comes back!"

Houtu shouted to Yangmei Ancestor.

When Yang Mei Patriarch heard the name Ying Zheng, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Why has Ying Zheng not appeared despite the long duration of the great battle?

Was Ying Zheng truly injured while controlling the primordial world, or was he hiding deep within the void, preparing to deliver a fatal blow?
If it's the latter, then they'll have to be extra careful.

"I'm telling you, Ying Zheng is not coming back! We killed him on the way, and you won't be able to wait for him."

Yangmei Patriarch sneered at Houtu and the others.

Houtu and the others did not believe Yang Mei's words at first.

But upon closer reflection, it is true that so much time has passed and Ying Zheng has still not returned. Could it be that he has really encountered some misfortune?

"You're talking nonsense! You think you can kill Ying Zheng? Don't daydream!"

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality, who was maintaining the Great Array of Heaven, Earth, and Man, shouted at Ancestor Yangmei.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity absolutely refused to believe that Ying Zheng would perish. Even if something had truly happened to Ying Zheng, it was impossible for there to be no sign of it at all.

Seeing that his lies had little effect, Ancestor Yangmei laughed and said:

"I don't care whether you believe it or not, he's not coming back now!"

Yang Mei Ancestor's laughter echoed continuously in the void, even the distant Demon Ancestor Rahu was surprised, not understanding why Yang Mei Ancestor was laughing so heartily.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was fully controlling the core of the primordial world.

In another half hour, he will be able to fully control the core of the Primordial World, at which point he can continue to unleash the Primordial World.

"Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun muttered to himself.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was truly afraid, because every time it came to a crucial moment, Ying Zheng would come out and ruin his plans.

This time, however, everything went exceptionally smoothly, and Ying Zheng did not come to cause trouble from beginning to end. This unusual phenomenon made Dao Ancestor Hongjun feel somewhat uneasy.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun simply stopped thinking about the worst and devoted himself wholeheartedly to controlling the core of the primordial world.

At this moment, Demon Ancestor Rahu was engaged in a fierce battle with Pangu's primordial spirit, and Houtu and others were entangled in a battle with Ancestor Yangmei. There was no one else who could stop Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The current situation emboldened Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei, as they were about to witness the moment when Dao Ancestor Hongjun successfully released the primordial world.

At this moment, various powers of the Great Dao appeared in the void, and the power of the Dao drifted everywhere.

The primordial world began to show signs of continuing to expand forward.

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei also sensed the impending spread of the primordial world and were extremely excited.

But some are happy and some are worried.

Pangu's primordial spirit, Houtu, and the others watched the primordial world about to expand, their hearts burning with anxiety. They wanted to integrate their own Dao power into the core of the primordial world to stop its continued expansion.

However, Demon Ancestor Rahu and Ancestor Yangmei naturally wouldn't give Pangu's primordial spirit and the others a chance, and continued to fight them relentlessly.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Then the voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun rang out.

"It's almost done! It's almost done!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun could not hide his joy at his impending success and laughed wildly.

However, at this critical moment, a Demon-Slaying Spear shot out from the void.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was immersed in the ecstasy of his impending success and was unaware of the arrival of the Dao-Breaking Spear.

"Hongjun, watch out behind you!"

When Yang Mei saw the Breaking Dao Spear flying towards Dao Ancestor Hongjun's back, he hurriedly spoke up to warn him.

But it was too late. The Breaking Dao Spear pierced through Dao Ancestor Hongjun's chest, forcing him to stop what he was doing.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around with difficulty, and tried to find out who had ambushed him.

However, the void behind Dao Ancestor Hongjun was completely silent, without even a trace of Dao power fluctuation.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was extremely puzzled at this moment. Who was attacking him?

Pangu's primordial spirit and Houtu, among others, were intercepted by Demon Ancestor Rahu and Yangmei Ancestor, so there shouldn't have been any other people present who would have had a chance to make a move.

Just as Dao Ancestor Hongjun was puzzled, a long spear shot towards him from the void.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun hurriedly took out his whisk and used his own Dao power to resist the attack of the spear.

Only at this moment did Dao Ancestor Hongjun realize that this spear was Ying Zheng's Dao artifact—Ying Zheng was stopping him!
After blocking the attack, Dao Ancestor Hongjun shouted into the void behind him:

"Ying Zheng! I know you're here! Stop playing tricks and come out to fight me!"

At this moment, two figures slowly emerged in the void before Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Hongjun, I heard you were looking for me?"

The people who arrived were none other than Ying Zheng and Nuwa, who had arrived just in time.

When Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw Ying Zheng and Nuwa appear before him, he was startled and involuntarily took a step back.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng laughed loudly:
"Really? It's only been a short time since we last met, why are you scared of me? You even took a step back!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun flew into a rage and said in a fit of anger:

"My strength is weak and I'm not standing firmly! What does that have to do with you? Why would I be afraid of you?"

Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun was somewhat guilty, he still put on a tough front.

"Why is your Dao power so weak? You must have done something bad. If I hadn't arrived in time, this primordial world would probably have been unleashed by you again!"

Ying Zheng looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun with a serious expression and said.

Ying Zheng had long anticipated that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Demon Ancestor Luohou, and the Yangmei Ancestor would not give up and would definitely make a comeback.

Therefore, he specifically ordered Pangu's primordial spirit to stay here, and now it seems that this decision was indeed correct. (End of this chapter)
