Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 460 Heavenly Hong Immortal Venerable Zixiao Blocks the Door
The vast and endless primordial world.

Surrounding the four primordial continents at the very center are forty-nine vast, eternal worlds.

The Primordial World, which merged with the Ancient Path World, is one of them, and the enormous world adjacent to it on its left is the Tianhong Eternal World.

This world is different from the primordial world; there is no chaos, only a boundless continent.

It is surrounded by an endless sea.

At this moment, at the core of the Tianhong Continent, atop an endless, majestic divine peak.

Surrounded by swirling clouds and cascading Dao patterns, it exuded a magnificent aura that surpassed all saints.
This place is the Daoist temple of Celestial Venerable Tianhong—the Dao Asking Cliff.

Not long ago, Yue Wu, who had fled back from the primordial world in a sorry state, was now respectfully prostrating herself on the black jade futon in the center of the dojo.

above,

A towering figure, exuding an aura of immense power and seemingly encompassing the endless cosmos, sat atop a throne in the heavens.

He was one of the twelve great immortals under the Hongmeng Sovereign—

Celestial Venerable Tianhong.

“Master, that primordial world is different from our world. It is extremely chaotic. In the inner world… Junior Sister Yuechan has already obtained the Earthly Dao Representative. But there is bad news. Junior Sister Yuechan has confirmed that a native in that primordial world has mastered the forbidden method of ‘sacrifice’, which can summon the avatar of the Lord of Death to descend upon you, Master. This is all that I have obtained from this exploration of the Ancient Dao Immortal Venerable’s primordial world.”

Yuewu recounted in detail everything she had encountered in the prehistoric world.

"Om-!"

The moment the words "Death Ruler" were heard, the hazy halo flowing on the cliff suddenly stopped, and the Daoist galaxy, which resembled the projection of billions of stars, also trembled violently!
That was because the Heavenly Venerable Tianhong above was shaken, causing the Great Dao to also tremble.

A hint of indescribable fear flickered in Tianhong Immortal Venerable's eyes:

"...The method of sacrifice...the master of death..."

There was a suffocating silence.

Tianhong Immortal Venerable's fingers tapped lightly without his notice, producing a spatial and temporal vibration that only he could hear.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were incredibly deep, as if he were contemplating a billion possibilities in an instant.

"We're in big trouble..."

He whispered in his mind.

Lord of Death!

That is an existence that stands at the pinnacle of the primordial world alongside his master—the Primordial Ruler!

It represents the end, annihilation, and the ultimate destination of death!

Its power is beyond the comprehension of these so-called "immortal venerables".

Even if it were just a wisp of his divine projection descending, even if he had the power to destroy that wisp of projection, he wouldn't dare to make a move!

Such beings can calculate every single detail that has occurred throughout countless ages with a single thought.

Let alone destroying a split-headed spirit, even just getting a trace of the other party's aura could bring unimaginable calamity!
but,

That primordial world must be destroyed; otherwise, with Gu Dao's talent, there is a high probability that he will become the new ruler.

This is definitely not what he wanted to see.

because,

He has an irreconcilable feud with the ancient path. If the other party were to advance to the level of a ruler, he would only perish. No, he would not perish, but would suffer eternal torment that is worse than death.

But now that the Lord of Death might descend upon that world, he doesn't want to provoke him.

Otherwise, the consequences could be even worse.

The only solution is to ask other rulers to intervene and restrain the Death Ruler.

Thinking of this, Celestial Venerable Tianhong slowly spoke, his voice still steady, but with an indescribable heaviness:

"I am aware of this matter. You may leave now. I will handle the rest."

"Yes, disciple, resign!"

Yuewu bowed respectfully, and then her figure rippled like water before slowly disappearing from sight.

After Yue Wu left, the entire Daowen Cliff fell silent once again.

After a long while, Celestial Venerable Tianhong slowly stood up.

"Shh-!"

A beam of purple-gold divine light suddenly shot into the sky from the Cliff of Inquiry, tearing apart the barrier of the Heavenly World and rushing toward the center of the Origin World.

Target—the Primordial Continent where the Primordial Ruler resides!

Chaos has no time limit.

The primordial immortal realm, spanning countless millennia, is but a fleeting moment.

Over these ten thousand years, more than ten magnificent auras that shook the Three Realms spread throughout the entire prehistoric world, and purple qi traveled hundreds of millions of miles eastward.

Following the previous ascension of Taishang and others to sainthood, more than ten others have also achieved sainthood.

It made the primordial world more prosperous, and boundless fortune was nurtured between heaven and earth.

Huaguo Mountain, where the rosy clouds and auspicious mists never dissipate for ten thousand years.

The rich innate spiritual energy was almost condensed into a liquid ocean, brimming with vibrant life!

Inside the Water Curtain Cave.

"call……"

A long breath escaped from Qi Tian's mouth, carrying the Daoist rhyme of the primordial chaos.

Slowly opening his eyes, his golden gaze pierced through the void, sweeping across Flower Fruit Mountain, before he nodded in satisfaction:

"Very good, Sun Yuan, Jiang Zi, and Kunpeng have also become saints. Now my Flower Fruit Mountain has seven saints! It's time to begin!"

Amidst the murmurs, the primordial spirit's voice echoed within the two cave dwellings.

quickly,

Two figures appeared before Qi Tian; they were Sun Yuan and Kong Xuan.

Qi Tian's gaze fell directly on Kong Xuan: "Kong Xuan, ten thousand years have passed. Have you completely refined and perfected the Mirror of Cause and Effect?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan bowed respectfully to Qi Tian, ​​his face showing barely concealed excitement:
"Master! Your disciple has lived up to your mission. The Mirror of Cause and Effect has been completely refined, and its spirit has submitted to you, becoming as responsive as an extension of your own arm!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kong Xuan raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.

An ancient, round mirror silently appeared in his palm.

Neither gold nor jade, the frame is a chaotic color.

The mirror's surface is dark and deep, as if it can devour all light and life!

The mirror is naturally engraved with extremely complex causal Dao patterns. Every slight change in light and shadow causes the surrounding invisible threads to surge and flow accordingly!

A powerful aura of a primordial treasure, so overwhelming that even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal felt a chill run down their spine, spread out.

Sun Yuan, standing to the side, couldn't help but show a look of envy.

However, there was no jealousy.

He already knew that his master had bestowed upon Kong Xuan the Chaos Treasure.

"Great!"

Qi Tian's face showed a satisfied and approving expression.

More than ten thousand years ago, when Kong Xuan had just become a saint, he gave him the Chaos Treasure—the Mirror of Karma—which he had seized from the Demon God of Karma. The reason he didn't bestow it upon him during the struggle for the Primordial Purple Qi was because he was concerned about his disciple's insufficient cultivation.

This kind of primordial treasure contains an ancient artifact spirit born at the beginning of creation, which is fierce and unruly.

If one's cultivation level is insufficient and one forcibly attempts to refine it, at best one's mind will be corrupted by the artifact spirit, turning one into a magic weapon puppet; at worst one one will be directly devoured by the artifact spirit, resulting in the destruction of both body and soul!

Only by attaining the Primordial Dao Fruit, or becoming a saint, whose primordial spirit is indestructible through countless eons and whose holy heart is as clear as crystal, can one possess sufficient power and status to subdue and refine such ferocious creatures.

Seeing that Kong Xuan had successfully refined the Causal Mirror, Qi Tian's gaze immediately turned to Sun Yuan.

With a flick of his right hand, an object appeared in his palm.

Shaped like a compass, it is neither gold nor stone, neither jade nor wood, and its surface is engraved with endless, complex and mysterious divine patterns.

In the center of the compass, a very thin and bright silver needle is suspended. The needle trembles slightly, and each tremor seems to cause slight ripples in the surrounding space!
It was the Chaos Treasure that Qi Tian had recently obtained after killing Tai Yi—

Space-Stabilizing and Universe-Tracing Disc!
"Sun Yuan!"

"I'm here!"

Sun Yuan seemed to realize something, his eyes filled with longing and excitement as he stared at the compass in Qi Tian's hand, his mouth practically watering.
"Master! Are you going to give me this...this treasure?"

It's no wonder he lost his composure and became agitated, because the aura emanating from this compass was the same as that of Kong Xuan's Mirror of Cause and Effect.

It is clearly also a treasure of chaos!
"nonsense!"

Qi Tian glared at Sun Yuan:
"The Chaos Bell, the innate treasure I gave you before, was stolen. So you can use this 'Space-Stabilizing and Universe-Tracing Disc' instead."

After saying that, he flicked his finger, and the Space-Stabilizing Disc transformed into a stream of light and entered Sun Yuan's body.

"Ow—!"

Sun Yuan let out a strange cry, feeling a vast and powerful aura, far exceeding his imagination, rush into his limbs and bones, almost bursting his holy body!
At the same time, the ancient artifact spirit contained within the plate was arrogant and violent, carrying the primordial will of the beginning of chaos, frantically attacking his primordial spirit and sea of ​​consciousness, attempting to turn the tables!
"Humph!"

Qi Tian snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly transforming into the Eyes of Heaven, icy and ruthless, supreme and unparalleled!

A pure and refined power of the Heavenly Dao, representing the fundamental rules of the primordial world, shot out from his fingertips and instantly entered Sun Yuan's Purple Mansion.

boom!
The power of Heaven descended like a blazing sun, instantly suppressing the raging chaotic will within the Space-Fixing and Universe-Tracing Disc.

"Hurry up and refine it!"

"Thank you Master!"

With the pressure on Sun Yuan's primordial spirit greatly reduced, he immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, circulated the power of his primordial spirit, and with the help of the Heavenly Dao power bestowed upon him by his master, frantically refined and imprinted his own primordial spirit mark.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic fluctuations in Sun Yuan's aura gradually subsided.

He suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of golden light piercing through the void, his face filled with wild joy: "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure! Haha, this treasure is too powerful, I feel it can destroy a saint with one blow!"

"Stop showing off!"

Qi Tian snorted coldly: "If you get robbed again, you'll have to fight with your bare hands from now on."

An excited Sun Yuan immediately shrank back and awkwardly laughed:

"Hehe, Master, don't worry, we definitely won't be robbed this time!"

Qi Tian shook his head and said nothing more.

The immense divine sense, like an invisible net, instantly covered the entire Flower Fruit Mountain and the East Sea, piercing through layers of space and precisely landing in the five cave dwellings. A majestic voice simultaneously resounded in the hearts of the Five Sages, Sun Yuan, and Kong Xuan:
"Tongtian, Wangshu, Shuanghua, Sun Yuan, Kong Xuan, Jiang Zi, Kunpeng, heed my command!"

"Set off immediately for Xiniu Hezhou!"

"This journey requires no testing, no beating around the bush! Proclaim the Great Sage's decree: all forces in Xiniu Hezhou, regardless of whether they are immortals, Buddhas, demons, or monsters, must immediately abandon their old beliefs, sever all ties with the Xuanmen, and completely submit to the Holy Realm of Huaguo Mountain! Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy, their body and soul annihilated, their spirit banished to the Nine Netherworlds, never to be reborn!"

"If a sage from the Xuanmen sect comes to obstruct us..."

Qi Tian's voice carried a cold, hard murderous intent and chilling aura:

"Let them get out! If any of them are ungrateful and refuse to leave... then let this Great Sage beat them until they are driven out of Xiniu Hezhou!"

The last sentence, filled with a murderous aura, soared into the sky and exploded above Flower Fruit Mountain!

"As you obey the decree of Master/Great Sage!"

The seven saints were all startled, and then their blood boiled!

Sun Yuan and Kong Xuan had already revealed their fierce glints in their eyes, holding their most precious treasures and eager to try their luck!
Xiniu Hezhou!

The place where Buddhism is based is now also the territory of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect!

Once this place is captured, it will not only mean that Buddhism will lose its foundation, but the Xuanmen will also lose a piece of territory, and the fortune of their Huaguo Mountain will climb to a terrifying peak!

"Sizzle~"

Seven figures with distinct auras tore through the void and headed directly towards Xiniu Hezhou, where the Buddha's light shone everywhere!

As he watched the seven saints leave, Qi Tian's lips curled up slightly.

Then, his figure flickered, leaving behind a solid afterimage that slowly dissipated.

His true form had already appeared beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, at the edge of endless chaos.

Ahead, the ancient and magnificent Zixiao Palace, seemingly in harmony with the heavens, stands silently, radiating an eternal aura of power.

Qi Tian revealed a smile that was a mixture of mockery and ridicule. He neither forced his way in nor sent a telepathic message.

He sat down cross-legged in front of the main gate of Zixiao Palace, in the square where the chaotic energy was surging, as if no one else was around!

His posture was casual, yet it carried a domineering sense of conquest!
Inside the Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly stiffened!
He immediately opened his eyes.

His face was first stunned, then instantly turned extremely gloomy!
Like a layer of ancient, frozen ice!

He had already noticed Qi Tian outside the palace, as well as Sheng Wei who was heading towards Xiniu Hezhou.

"Qitian!"

The two words were squeezed out as if from between his teeth, carrying an overwhelming anger of being offended!

With a flash of light, Hongjun's figure appeared outside the gate of Zixiao Palace, only a few feet away from Qitian, who was sitting cross-legged.

His eyes were icy and chilling.

"What do you want to do?"

Every word was like a thunderbolt from the heavens, containing immense pressure and will, enough to shake the soul of an ordinary saint!
Despite being directly impacted by this terrifying pressure, Qi Tian felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing across his face.

He patted non-existent dust off his trousers, slowly stood up, and wore a smile that was infuriatingly smug:
"Hehe, Old Hong, don't get so angry! I heard that some ignorant outsiders have recently sneaked into our primordial world. I was thinking that you are busy with many affairs and have to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. What if you are careless and those filthy things sneak up to your doorstep and attack you? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

Speaking of which,
Qi Tian shrugged, giving an innocent look that said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"So, this Great Sage has come here specifically to stand guard for you! To keep watch over the gates of Zixiao Palace for you, ensuring that not even a fly... no, not even a trace of extraterrestrial energy can drift over! You can rest assured and focus on your cultivation and enlightenment inside. I'll take care of your safety outside!"

These words sound grand and sincere.

But Hongjun's lips twitched uncontrollably.

He has lived for countless years; what kind of scene hasn't he seen?

But this monkey's ability to lie through his teeth, distort the truth, and call a deer a horse has reached the pinnacle of shamelessness!

Fearing an attack on Zixiao Palace by outsiders?

Help him protect it?

Do they really think Hongjun is a fool?
Hongjun was filled with rage and almost wanted to immediately unleash his supreme treasure to crush this unruly monkey into dust!
But he forcibly suppressed it.

While sending a telepathic message to the Three Supreme Spirits and others to go to Xiniu Hezhou, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice:

"Qi Tian! Do you really think I don't know what you're doing sending your men to Xiniu Hezhou? Not only do you want to seize my Xuanmen's foundation, but now you're even blocking the gate of my Daoist temple? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch your Huaguo Mountain's foundation?"
