Honghuang: Starting from the Enlightenment of the Great Emperor Dongyue

Chapter 53 The Demonic Supreme
Taicang stretched out his right hand and grabbed in mid-air, and Luohou's [God-killing Spear] and [World-destroying Black Lotus] came and fell into his hands.

Taicang pondered for a moment, first put away the [God-killing Spear], then he stretched out his hand again, and a pure white lotus appeared out of thin air. It was the [Pure World White Lotus] that Di Cang had collected earlier.

"White lotus and black lotus, purify the world and destroy the world, life and death, yin and yang reincarnation." Taicang's eyes fell on the two lotus platforms in his hands, muttering to himself, and fell into deep thought.

[Book of Heaven: Map of Mountains, Rivers and States] In the inner world, three thousand Dao rhymes appeared one after another, surrounding Taicang and deducing the great Dao.

Reincarnation?

"Let's try it..."

Thinking of this, Taicang had an idea.

At this time, Nuwa, who was far away in heaven, felt something in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. She took out a small and exquisite tripod and threw it lightly. The tripod turned into a stream of light and fell into the earth.

The gate of the sky in the world of [Book of Heaven: Map of Mountains, Rivers and States] opened, and an ancient and mysterious divine tripod appeared in front of Taicang.

It is the treasure that Nuwa obtained in the chaos that can reverse the universe and recreate creation, the [Creation Cauldron].

Two lotus platforms are swirling in the void. They originally came from the same source. At this moment, they are attracted to each other, and the yin and yang are combined to interpret the mystery of life and death.

Infinite Three Lights Holy Water fell from the sky, turning into drops of sweet rain, nourishing the two lotus platforms.

As the being who controls the starry sky in heaven, the Three Lights Divine Water is nothing more than an inexhaustible resource to him.

The three thousand laws surrounding Taicang shine brightly, complementing the two lotus platforms, and together they interpret the true meaning of reincarnation.

Birth, growth, aging, death, and then rebirth, repeating over and over again, just like the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle is endless.

“Life and death are not the end, but a cycle.”

The two lotus pedestals, along with the Three Lights Divine Water and the Dao rhythm emanating from the Three Thousand Great Daos, were all thrown into the [Creation Cauldron].

For a moment, inside the Qiankun Cauldron, chaotic energy rolled, and the earth, wind, water, and fire surged, as if returning to the chaotic state at the beginning of the creation of the world.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning at this moment. Perhaps a long time had passed, or perhaps it was just a blink of an eye.

A vast and majestic aura of innate treasure emanated from the Qiankun Cauldron.

I saw a twenty-four-level purple lotus slowly rising. At the heart of the lotus, the black and white Tai Chi slowly rotated, interpreting the truth of reincarnation.

"It's done!" Taicang showed his joy, and the whole world was filled with joy. The sky sounded vast and golden flowers fell!

【Hongmeng Samsara Lotus】

A supreme treasure that contains the way of reincarnation.

At the same time, Taicang could no longer maintain the unity of the three, and the superimposed supreme realms also dissipated, turning into three independent individuals again.

Di Tai picked up the [Hongmeng Samsara Lotus] and comprehended the rich laws of reincarnation within it. A look of joy appeared on his face. "The earthly reincarnation cycle is about to be complete. Now all that is left is for Fellow Daoist Nuwa to attain the status of Human Emperor."

………………

At the same time, in the depths of endless chaos, a dark and strange [Honghuang] level world is looming.

In this world, evil spirits are rampant and chaos is rampant. Countless demons are showing their fangs and claws, reveling wantonly. It is filled with endless killing and destruction. It is the source of all evil in the world.

In a demonic palace built of countless dry bones and wronged souls, the real Luohou, who was half a step away from the ultimate state of Hunyuan Wuji, suddenly opened his eyes. Like a blood moon descending, the scarlet light tore through the darkness.

His face was hideous, and his aura suddenly became disordered, his foundation was shaken, and then blood flowed from all seven orifices. The dark devil blood dripped onto the ground, corroding the hard ground into bottomless pits, making a "sizzling" sound.

"The clone has completely fallen!"

Luohou's lips opened and closed, his hoarse voice was harsh and unpleasant, revealing a murderous intent.

Not even a trace of his true spirit escaped back, and it completely and thoroughly dissipated between heaven and earth.

"How is this possible?!" Luohu couldn't believe it.

How could someone so easily wipe out Hongjun's clone in the incomplete prehistoric world, without even having time to send out a distress signal!
Luohou clasped his hands together, a devilish light flashed in his eyes, and he used his great magical power [Time Rewind] to peek at the scene before his clone's death.

Before his eyes, chaos flowed backwards, time and space reversed, countless images flashed by rapidly, and finally stopped at the moment when the clone fell.

There was an unknown world there. His clone was enveloped by a vast and majestic power of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth slowly turned like a millstone, crushing the clone into pieces and eliminating the original spiritual energy until it returned to nothingness.

"The power of heaven and earth..." Luohou's pupils suddenly shrank, and a storm surged in his heart.

What does this mean? It means that Hongjun has already achieved the Dao of Heaven and has taken a step forward!
Otherwise, something drastic must have happened in that world! Otherwise, it would be impossible to mobilize such a powerful force of heaven and earth!
Luohou is more inclined to the former. After all, in a complete world, the way of heaven is supreme, and only an existence like Hongjun can have complete control.

"Damn it!" Luohou gritted his teeth, feeling shocked and angry.

He originally thought that he, like Hongjun, was a Luohou who took over the origin of another world, and he could plan for that world, take its origin, and achieve enlightenment.

I didn't expect this to be the result! I lost a clone for nothing and gained nothing!

"You failed again?"

Just as Luohou was shocked and angry, a majestic and indifferent voice sounded behind him, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making the entire Demon Palace tremble.

Luo Hou's body froze, and a barely perceptible strange color flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He quickly restrained his violent aura, turned around, and knelt respectfully on the ground: "Greetings to the Supreme!"

Standing in front of Luohou was a being that could not be described in words.

He was surrounded by demonic energy and his pressure was vast and boundless, as if the entire demon world was prostrating at his feet.

He stood there, but it seemed as if he was a world of his own, and every move he made was affected by the endless laws of magic.

His face looks ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it looks like a collection of billions of living beings, each face expressing a different emotion, whether happy or sad, angry or sorrowful, which is chilling.

He is the truly transcendent supreme being of the magic way, Moluo, in the [Honghuang]-level world in the chaos!
He has already devoured most of the three thousand great ways in his body, and is not far from the late stage of the Supreme Being.

"You have let me down too much!"

Moro's voice was cold and ruthless.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! It is my incompetence that has caused me to fail to complete the mission and disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."

Luohu's body couldn't help but tremble. He could feel the terrifying murderous intent emanating from Mara. There was no doubt that Mara, who had achieved the supreme status through the great way of destruction, was the most ruthless. He would completely wipe him out in the next moment.

"You are indeed incompetent!" Mo Luo snorted coldly, "You can't even take down a mere incomplete replica world. What use is there for me to keep you here?"

Luo Hou shuddered and said quickly, "Supreme One, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's simply that that world is too strange. My clone was obliterated by the power of heaven and earth there. I'm afraid... I'm afraid Hongjun has already achieved unity with the Way of Heaven and reached a new level!"

"Oh?" Mo Luo finally showed a hint of interest. "The power of heaven and earth? It seems that Hongjun is more interesting than I thought."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to redeem myself from my crimes and return to that world to seize the origin of the world for Your Majesty!" Luohu expressed his loyalty hastily.

Mara was silent for a moment.

"Forget it, I will give you one more chance."

When Luohou heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was saved for the time being.

"but……"

Mara changed the subject, which made Luohou's heart jump again.

"I've been entangled with those three guys from the Cangli, Yuejian, and Jiutou clans recently, and I have no time to take care of other things."

"If you wish to atone for your mistakes, you must lead the demon army as soon as possible to capture this inherently incomplete replica world. If you fail again..."

Moro didn't continue speaking, but his cold eyes said it all.

"I understand! I will do my best to live up to the trust of the Supreme!" Luohou promised with a fearless attitude.

This is my last chance...

"Well, let's go."

In the Heavenly Palace, the Lingxiao Palace was filled with solemnity.

The six core emperors Taicang, Dicang, Fuxi, Nuwa, Suzaku and Gouchen sat on the throne.

"What?! Hongjun's replica of the world?"

Taicang told the news from Daohua and Luohou one by one.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Taicang in disbelief, as if they had heard the most absurd story in the world.

"How is this possible?!" Zhuque exclaimed, finding it hard to accept this fact. "We practiced so hard, pursuing the great way, are we ultimately just shadows of others?"

"Yes, this is too ridiculous!" Fuxi also frowned, and his heart was in turmoil. If it was really as Taicang said, then what was the meaning of their existence?
Taicang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I also hope it's a lie, but unfortunately, it seems that it is not a lie now."

The Lingxiao Palace suddenly fell into a dead silence. Everyone was silent, their hearts filled with shock.

Although they have a firm faith in the Tao, they cannot help but feel a sense of absurdity and emptiness when they learn that the world they live in and the Tao they pursue may just be replicas of another ancient world.

"Then... what should we do?" Zhuque broke the silence, a trace of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes. If it is really as Taicang said, then what is the meaning of their existence?
"wake up!"

The divine thunder of Dutian exploded in the sky.

"We are not mirror images of others. If we were, we wouldn't exist!" Taicang said, his voice filled with divine justice. "Perhaps, when we were first created, we were indeed copies, but so what? We have already attained enlightenment and are no longer pawns at the mercy of others! We have the ability to create our own future, rather than repeating the past of others!"

Yes, they have already attained enlightenment and are now sitting in the position of chess players. Even if they have copied the same origin, they have become new individuals. The only thing that is the same may be the name.

Emperor Taicang's voice rang out again, bringing everyone back to reality. "I'm simply informing you of this information now to give you a sense of urgency. We in Heaven are facing tremendous pressure."

"Since Hongjun has already made plans, he will never give up fighting for control of the Heavenly Dao. At the same time, we need to be wary of Luohou. We must not underestimate this demon ancestor who is competing with Hongjun for the Dao. The demonic Dao may be about to make a comeback." Taicang said solemnly.

Fuxi, worthy of being born with the destiny of an emperor, quickly regained his composure and calmly analyzed, "Indeed, we are now facing internal and external troubles. Not counting Hongjun, the eight disciples of Xuanmen who have the foundation to become saints are a real concern. Moreover, each of them is extraordinary and full of ambitions."

Taicang nodded and looked around at everyone, saying in a deep voice, "There is no time to lose. I will go and deal with the matter of Emperor Shui Yuan. You must be prepared for a divine war at any time and do not take it lightly."

Then his eyes fell on Fuxi and he admonished, "Fuxi, you are in charge of the overall coordination and make sure everything goes smoothly."

Fuxi stood up to accept the order and said solemnly, "I will definitely live up to the trust placed in me by the Supreme Being."

Taicang's gaze turned to Gou Chen again. After a moment of hesitation, he flipped his palm and the [God-killing Spear] appeared in his hand. A murderous aura lingered on the spear.

Taicang handed the [God-killing Spear] to Gou Chen and said in a deep voice, "Gou Chen, you are in charge of the weapons of the divine way. This sharp weapon of destruction is handed over to you to protect the way."

Gou Chen took the God-Slaying Spear with both hands, and feeling the supreme power coming from the spear, his heart trembled. He bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to Master's trust!"

Taicang looked at Gou Chen, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

Kong Xuan was his eldest disciple, and he taught him his own original thunder method.

Gou Chen was his second disciple, and he had never given him a decent spiritual treasure.

Now, this [God-killing Spear] is just right for Gou Chen's killing method, and can help him remain invincible in future wars between gods.

…………

Zixiao Palace.

Daozu Hongjun sat in the center of the hall.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in the center of the hall, breaking the tranquility of Zixiao Palace.

This figure was wearing a black Taoist robe, and his face was surprisingly similar to Hongjun Daozu, except that there was a bit more arrogance and cruelty between his brows, and he exuded the pressure of a saint.

"You disappoint me so much!" The voice of the old Taoist in black robe was extremely cold, like ten thousand years of ice, without any emotion.

Daozu Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, "You are finally here."

A trace of helplessness and bitterness flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "If it weren't for my obsession, I wouldn't be so greedy..."

As soon as the words fell, an illusory figure floated out from Hongjun Daozu's body. "Hongjun" looked at the two of them indifferently, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, "I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

The old Taoist in black robe snorted coldly, and swept his sharp eyes over "Hongjun". The temperature in the space dropped suddenly, and a murderous aura spread, which made people shudder.

"You're a piece of trash!" The black-robed Taoist turned to Hongjun and shouted angrily, "You couldn't even suppress the will of Hongmeng Qi, and instead allowed Him to bully you to this point. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong, you would have delayed the process of merging with the Dao and ruined my grand plan. Even if you were martyred, you wouldn't be able to pay it back!"

Upon hearing this, Daozu Hongjun's expression turned extremely grim. Wasn't he doing this for me?!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, quickly suppress Him and merge with the Dao as soon as possible. The Heavenly Dao can no longer suppress Him!"

The old Taoist in black robe snorted coldly again, his figure flashed, and turned into a stream of light, merging into Hongjun's body.

"Don't you just ask what I mean..." The purple energy around "Hongjun" became more and more boiling, as if it was burning.

"I've said it before, I never thought about resurrecting myself. I've had enough of this small cage!"

"No! He wants to destroy his own foundation!" Two voices in Hongjun's body said in unison in shock and anger.

boom!
"Do not!!!"

Several cracks appeared in Hongjun's flawless Taoist foundation, and one of them was missing a small piece of origin.

"You! Damn it!"

The two corpses of Hongjun became furious at the same time, and the combined power of their souls tore apart the remaining consciousness of "Hongjun".

On his deathbed, "Hongjun" smiled with satisfaction, and the account was settled...

I don't care about the future, little one, the future depends on you...

I have done everything I promised Pangu. Pangu, please don't let me down...

Hongjun's face was terribly gloomy, and his body under his Taoist robe was trembling slightly.

He had calculated everything, but he had never expected that this remaining wisp of Hongmeng's will would be so resolute!
He originally thought that he could control everything and play with this remaining wisp of Hongmeng's will in the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked in the end.

The reason he kept "Hongjun" was because he was afraid that he would be destroyed along with the enemy and damage the foundation of Taoism.

He originally wanted to wait for his original body or another corpse to arrive, and use his absolute strength to completely wipe out the consciousness of "Hongjun", slowly erase this will without losing any damage, and completely control this body.

Unexpectedly, "Hongjun" was so resolute and decisive that he exploded without hesitation when he saw the evil corpse coming, without any hesitation or delay.

Even if it is a little slower, once Hongjun's two bodies merge into one, there will be no chance for "Hongjun".

Now that the foundation of the road has been damaged, his plans have been completely disrupted.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Hongjun gritted his teeth, anger surging in his heart.

"The only option now is to use my trump card to force the fusion of Dao..." Hongjun took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

The only way is to use the power of Heaven's Dao to repair one's own Dao foundation.

But the Heavenly Dao today has already leaned towards the Divine Dao. Using the trump card of He Dao means a complete break with the Heavenly Dao, and the future will be a never-ending struggle.

"Well, the situation on my side is not optimistic, I can't care about so many things..." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Hongjun's eyes.
