Humans are shrouded in mist, projecting their image across countless worlds.

Chapter 145 Possessing Hongjun's Body, Adding Another Path to the Stone King
Hongjun is the greatest adversary of the Immortal Realm projected into the World of Death.

Not long after He Lang left the Realm of Immortality last time, the projection of the Realm of Immortality continued to hunt Nirvana Stone Men who had a blood feud with the Nine Provinces in the World of Death.

When fighting against a powerful being from another world who had undergone Nirvana in the world of death, he inadvertently revealed the illusory Dao Fruit of Hongjun, a false god born from Hongjun's scheme in the Nine Provinces, and Hongjun found him by following his senses.

The two had fought each other more than ten times, and both regarded each other as a thorn in their side. The title of Human Emperor in the projection of the Immortal Realm was given to him by Hongjun.

"Your Majesty, you've come at the perfect time!"
The true form of the Heavenly Mark on this Heavenly Stele has already collected a portion of it, and today the true form will use the Heavenly Stele's Dao Mark to refine you.

Whether you are a purge born from the endless karma of the Nine Provinces, or a contingency plan left behind by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, today is your death day.

Hongjun Stone King roared to the sky, shattering billions of miles of continents in the Death World. The hand seals in his hands resonated with the eighth Heavenly Stele. On the massive, mountain-like Heavenly Stele, countless profound hand seals of the Great Dao were imprinted. The Dao traces of order surged from the Heavenly Stele and were guided by Hongjun, which then enhanced his hand seals.

Boundless divine power surged forth. Hongjun controlled all the Dao, and his divine sense manipulated the laws of order. The Stone King displayed his ultimate combat power. The ocean-like fluctuations suppressed the world of death. The mere leakage of divine power was enough to make those worlds in the world of death that were on the verge of extinction reappear with the breath of life.

The immense aura of the Stone King shook the myriad realms and attracted the attention of other Stone Kings in the World of Death.

However, when these Stone Kings sensed the aura of Hongjun across the endless space, their expressions changed, and they suppressed their desire to investigate.

Hongjun is also a giant among the Stone Kings, and under normal circumstances, no one is willing to provoke him.

Before the Heavenly Stele, Hongjun manifested the profound laws on the eighth Heavenly Stele. The endless divine laws of order intertwined to form the Great Dao patterns, transforming into a Great Dao cage, intending to seal and refine He Lang's Heavenly Stele Stone City in the Realm of Immortality.

As a giant among the Stone Kings, Hongjun naturally understood the origin of this Heavenly Stele. It was a special stone city built on the foundation of the Great Dao Heavenly Mark within the Heavenly Stele. If He Lang were to truly grow up, the consequences would be unacceptable to him.

Therefore, Hongjun went all out from the start, determined to kill this freak in front of the Heavenly Stele.

“Hongjun, do you think you can suppress me by seizing part of the Heavenly Mark on the Heavenly Stele? You couldn’t suppress me a hundred years ago, and you can’t now.”

The ancient celestial stele, woven from the divine laws of order, was reviving and gradually becoming crystalline. He Lang, the immortal being in the Nirvana Realm at the center of the stele, looked out of the stele and shouted like a dragon's roar. A vast divine thought surged out from the stele.

The supreme divine sense, like a heavenly blade, directly shattered Hongjun's attack, dismantling his secret technique. The great realm that Hongjun had created with his supreme divine power was instantly destroyed by the divine sense, and the God of Order transformed into primordial symbols scattered throughout the world.

At the same time, He Lang's supreme divine sense also fixed Hongjun's stone palm in front of the Heavenly Stele, and the Heavenly Mark that had been taken from the eighth Heavenly Stele immediately dissipated under his divine sense.

Layers of stone dust fell continuously from Hongjun's stone palm. The indestructible and peerless stone body of the Stone King was constantly being worn away by He Lang's divine sense in the Longevity Realm, causing Hongjun's expression to change drastically.

This is a divine thought possessed only by a supreme ancestral god! And it's not the kind that has just been broken through, but rather a divine thought of a supreme ancestral god that is infinitely close to the Great Perfection of a supreme ancestral god.

"You are actually walking on both the path of the supreme ancestral god and the path of the stone man at the same time."

Hongjun sensed this terrifying scene and felt a chill run down his spine. He never imagined that He Lang, who was undergoing a transformation within this Heavenly Stele, was simultaneously walking on another path of breakthrough.

The path to supreme godhood and the path to the stone man cannot be pursued simultaneously. This is a consensus among all kings in the myriad realms, and even in the ancient times when emperors existed for eternity, no one has ever broken this law.

However, the scene before him made Hongjun, the ancient stone king who had lived through countless civilizations, clearly realize that someone had indeed accomplished this.

This discovery caused a terrifying divine light to flash in Hongjun's stone eyes, which could see through the very origins of things, and his divine thoughts changed in an instant. Hongjun, who was originally filled with the intent to kill, no longer wanted to simply obliterate He Lang.

"Good! Good! Good! This is truly an unexpected gain. After controlling you and refining your Dao Fruit, I might actually be able to find a way to break through to the Emperor Realm."

Hongjun stared at He Lang of the Immortal Realm as if he were looking at delicious prey.

Without a sound, his supreme divine sense burst out of the stone body, intending to send this astonishing news back to his true self in the Primordial Heaven Realm and summon his true self back.

The next moment, Hongjun's face stiffened. His divine sense, which had been extended out of his body, was obliterated by an even more vast divine sense. The source of this divine sense was the Heavenly Stele. Only then did he realize that the World of Death had been sealed off by He Lang's supreme divine sense within the Heavenly Stele.

"Heh, do you want to summon your true form, the Purple Cloud Stone King, in the Heavenly Realm? The World of Death has long been sealed by my divine sense; you can only wait to die today."

He Lang's Great Dao Imprint from the Realm of Immortality projected the Heavenly Stele, condensing his Supreme Battle Body, and directly unleashed his Supreme Battle Technique, attacking Hongjun.

Boundless divine power surged from his battle body, overwhelming all the heavens and myriad paths with its immense strength. Every move he made exuded the power to create the world. Countless chains of divine order emerged from the void, coiling around He Lang's fists in the Realm of Immortality like true dragons, embodying the ultimate in invincible divine power.

"kill!"

Hongjun sensed the impending danger of his demise, for this remnant of the Nine Provinces had discovered his deepest secret, which made Hongjun uneasy.

He unleashed a series of unparalleled divine powers, attacking the Great Dao imprint projected by He Lang.

One is the invincible Stone King, whose aura is overwhelming and who looks down upon all the heavens; the other is the dual achiever of the Stone Man Road and the Supreme Ancestral God Road, who are in Nirvana.

The supreme divine powers of the two unparalleled experts collided, instantly tearing the entire world of death apart. All the myriad paths of the heavens were obliterated by their divine powers, and the past, present, and future were thrown into chaos.

In just a few breaths, Hongjun and the projection of the Immortal Realm were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

Hongjun summoned a stone seal, which carried the power to destroy all the heavens and myriad worlds. It smashed towards He Lang of the Immortal Realm, but was shattered by He Lang's supreme battle body with his fist. The invincible stone weapon was reduced to a pile of rubble.

He Lang's fist from the Realm of Immortality landed on Hongjun's stone king body, sending Hongjun flying. Cracks appeared on Hongjun's stone body, and blood, like yellow mud, splattered onto the land of the Death World, instantly turning it into a desolate, lifeless demonic land.

Countless shattered worlds were directly destroyed, and chaos engulfed the world.

"Humph……"

He Lang's supreme Dao principles from the Realm of Immortality eroded Hongjun's stone body, causing Hongjun to groan. Realizing the danger, Hongjun immediately tried to extricate himself by using He Lang's power.

But as soon as the thought arose, he felt his consciousness was imprisoned, his thoughts were suppressed, and he was unable to move at all.

Within his divine sense, He Lang's divine sense from the Realm of Immortality emerged, smiling as he looked at Hongjun.

When did this happen?
Hongjun's eyes revealed horror. He was a giant among the Stone Kings, yet his divine sense had been invaded and his body controlled by someone.
