Transmigrating to a chat group: After heeding advice, I became the ruler of the primordial world.

Upon hearing this, the Cricket Taoist's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that Immortal Yangmei would choose to back down at such a crucial moment.

He hurriedly advised, "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, we came here together. If you leave alone now, it might cause gossip. People who don't know better might think that you, Great Immortal Yang Mei, are afraid of that Lu Yun!"

Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, smiled calmly and said, "Criticism? So what? Why should I, Yang Mei, care about other people's opinions when I do things? Besides, my deal with Hongjun was only to help him find Lu Yun's universe. Now that I have completed my mission, there is naturally no need for me to get involved in your struggle."

The Cricket Taoist continued, "But we've worked so hard for so long, and now you're leaving. The harvest will be none of your business. Don't you think that's a pity?"

These words made Master Yangmei hesitate for a moment.

However, just when the Eel Taoist thought he had persuaded Yang Mei, Yang Mei spoke again, saying, "My mind is made up, there's no need to say more!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that his persuasion was in vain, the Eel Taoist was unwilling but had no choice.

He knew Yangmei Daxian's character well; once he made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it. Therefore, he could only quickly report the situation to Hongjun.

……

Lu Yun in the universe.

Lu Yun captured the conversation between the Cricket Taoist and the Great Immortal Yangmei perfectly.

A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips as he thought to himself, "Master Yangmei is quite clever; knowing this battle is extremely dangerous, he has chosen to protect himself."

Zhulong couldn't help but say, "It seems Yang Mei was also afraid. After all, Hongjun joined forces with them to deal with Luo Hou, and in the end, apart from Yang Mei who escaped after realizing the situation was bad, the Yin Yang Ancestor and the others were all annihilated!"

Lu Yun nodded, then said with a hint of helplessness, "This just adds another problem for me."

Upon hearing this, everyone else was taken aback, but then they all understood.

Clearly, Lu Yun originally planned to take care of Hongjun and Yang Mei together. Now that Yang Mei has deserted the battle ahead of schedule, Lu Yun will have to deal with Yang Mei separately after dealing with Hongjun, which will inevitably cause more trouble.

Just then, Lu Yun suddenly felt that perhaps he didn't need to wait until he dealt with Hongjun before dealing with Yang Mei.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and several avatars appeared on his body.

Lu Yun said to them, "Go into the chaos and find an opportunity to capture Yang Mei and send him into my universe!"

The avatars immediately obeyed the order and were sent out of the universe by Lu Yun, quietly heading in the direction where Yang Mei the Great Immortal had left, without disturbing the Eel Daoist in the slightest.

Then, he turned to Nuwa and the others and said with a smile, "The show is about to begin, so please watch carefully."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa and the others nodded in agreement, expressing their anticipation.

They discovered that Lu Yun could even evade the eel Taoist's perception with his avatars, yet he had meticulously planned this "grand show," which was sure to be quite entertaining.

……

Within the Tianyuan World.

Hongjun, who was guiding the world through chaos, learned from the report of the Eel Daoist that Yangmei Daxian had refused to participate in the war, and his face turned gloomy.

However, although he was dissatisfied, he knew that this was not the time to dwell on such things. He quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared for the battle to come.

"Since Immortal Yangmei is unwilling to participate in the battle, then we can only rely on our own strength," Hongjun said in a deep voice.

His gaze swept over the assembled saints below, his eyes flashing with resolute determination. "Gentlemen, success or failure hinges on this moment. You must give it your all!"

Upon hearing this, all the sages nodded in understanding.

They knew the importance of this battle, which concerned the rise and fall of the Heavenly Dao and their own fate, and now they had reached a point where there was no way to retreat.

Therefore, they each used their supernatural abilities to actively prepare for the upcoming great battle.

……

As the Tianyuan World drew closer, a tense and oppressive atmosphere began to permeate the chaos outside Lu Yun's universe.

Both sides are making intensive preparations for the upcoming battle.

Finally, when the Tianyuan World was near Lu Yun's universe, Hongjun gave the order to attack: "Attack!"

In an instant, the saints of the Heavenly Dao camp rushed out of the Tianyuan World and headed towards the chaotic area shrouded by the great formation that the Eel Daoist and Yang Mei had discovered.

"Rumble..."

The chaotic matter in this area suddenly became extremely disordered.

Under Hongjun's command, the saints of the Heavenly Dao camp unleashed their unique skills and launched a fierce attack on the great formation outside Lu Yun's universe.

Lao Tzu held the Tai Chi diagram and with a gentle wave, a profound yin-yang fish pattern spun in the air, releasing a world-destroying power that attempted to tear apart the barrier of the great formation.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable then summoned the Pangu Banner, whose surface was imbued with the power of the primordial chaos. Each wave of the banner seemed to open up a small world, causing a fierce impact on the great formation.

The Tongtian Sect Leader then took out the God-Slaying Spear, which circled around his body. The spear light was like a dragon, and each thrust carried a world-destroying power, determined to completely destroy this great formation.

The two Western saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, clasped their hands together and chanted incantations. The Seven Treasures Tree and the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit condensed into a massive golden torrent, attempting to break through the great formation with the power of a river flowing in rotation.

Kunpeng and Styx each unleashed their magic power, and the seawater in the Northern Underworld Sacred Realm and the Netherworld Blood Sea seemed to respond to their call, transforming into surging forces that attacked the great formation together with the saints of the Heavenly Dao camp, penetrating every crevice!

Their attack was quite effective, and they quickly broke through the multiple layers of the great formation.

However, as they ventured deeper into the formation, they discovered it was far more complex and formidable than they had imagined. Their attacks were fierce, but the formation seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly shifting its form, dodging their attacks, and simultaneously seeking opportunities to counterattack.

In an instant, light shone brightly amidst the chaos, and explosions echoed one after another, as if the entire universe was trembling. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through the final layer of defense of the great formation.

"This...how is this possible!" Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned ashen. He never expected that Lu Yun could set up such a powerful formation.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also frowned. He unleashed even more ferocious attacks with his spear, but each attack seemed to land in nothingness, unable to cause any real damage to the great formation.

The other sages also showed shock and apprehension, realizing that Lu Yun was far more powerful than they had imagined.

Lao Tzu said in a deep voice, "This humble Taoist priest will contact the Taoist Ancestor!"

They were the only ones who entered the great formation just now, while Hongjun and his self-corpse eel Taoist had been observing from outside the formation.

At this moment, Hongjun suddenly heard Laozi's telepathic message.

"Dao Ancestor, this great formation is too strange. Even if we join forces, we cannot break through it!" Laozi said in a deep voice, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness and anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's face darkened.

He hadn't expected Lu Yun to have set up such a powerful formation outside the universe, which made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Gentlemen, there is no need to panic," Hongjun said in a deep voice. "This great formation, though powerful, is not invincible. I will personally intervene and break it together with you!"

Before he finished speaking, the three corpses beside Hongjun swayed and transformed into streaks of light, rushing into the great formation.

They exuded a powerful force of law, as if they were one with the entire chaos.

Hongjun, who was outside the great formation, activated the Creation Jade Tablet.

"The Great Dao is boundless, break!" Hongjun roared, forming hand seals and drawing upon the power of the Great Dao to launch a fierce attack on the great formation.

With Hongjun's arrival, the entire battlefield situation instantly underwent a dramatic change. The power of the Great Dao invoked by the Jade Tablet of Creation seemed to transform into an invisible hand, constantly tearing at the defenses of the great formation, causing it to begin to teeter on the brink of collapse.

"The Dao Ancestor is indeed powerful!" Laozi and the others were invigorated upon seeing this. They joined forces again to launch an attack, attempting to break through the great formation in one fell swoop with the help of Hongjun's power.

However, just when they thought they were about to succeed, an even more powerful force suddenly erupted from within the formation. This force seemed to come from another dimension, instantly devouring all their attacks.

"What!" Hongjun's expression changed drastically. He had not expected that such a terrifying power was hidden within this great formation.

"Hmph, Hongjun, do you think you can break my great formation with just these methods?" Lu Yun's voice suddenly rang out in the chaos, carrying a hint of disdain and mockery.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun was filled with rage.

He suddenly looked up into the void, only to find it empty. He knew that Lu Yun had not appeared; he was manipulating everything from the shadows.

Hongjun, however, was not angry but pleased.

Because he vaguely sensed that Lu Yun's words just now seemed to be deliberately tough. If Lu Yun really didn't care about their attacks, he could have simply kept quiet!

This made Hongjun even more certain that his plan had been correct!

If I just put in a little more effort, I might be able to take care of Lu Yun!

Hongjun suddenly turned his head to look into the distance and shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I know you haven't gone far. Quickly make your move! Let's deal with Lu Yun together, and we'll divide everything he owns equally!"

However, Hongjun was met with complete silence.

The Immortal Yangmei did not appear, nor did he respond in any way.

Hongjun felt a sense of foreboding rising in his heart: Could it be that Yang Mei wants me and Lu Yun to fight to the death so that he can reap the benefits?

"Damn Yang Mei!" Hongjun cursed inwardly, but he had no time to care about that now.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger and resentment in his heart, and refocused his attention on the great formation in front of him.

"Everyone, continue the attack, do not stop!" Hongjun shouted in a deep voice, his voice echoing in the chaos, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

As soon as he finished speaking, he moved as well, activating the Jade Tablet of Creation and personally rushing into the great formation.

Seeing this, the saints also rallied and exerted their strength once again.

In an instant, the chaos was plunged into fierce battle once again.

Because of Hongjun's arrival, the situation inside the great formation really changed, and the saints broke through several layers of the formation once again!

In Lu Yun's universe.

Through the light and shadow manifested by Lu Yun, everyone could clearly see everything in the outside world.

When they saw that Hongjun and the other saints were about to break through the formation set up by Lu Yun, everyone couldn't help but feel worried for Lu Yun.

Dijiang couldn't help but ask, "Lu Yun, should we make a move? Although our strength will decrease after entering the Chaos, if we use the Dutian Divine Fiend Formation, we can still put some pressure on Hongjun and the others."

"No need!"

Lu Yun shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I'm just waiting for Hongjun to take action himself!" Lu Yun chuckled.

Immediately, a thought flashed through his mind, and an even more dazzling light suddenly erupted from the great formation.

"Rumble..."

A deafening roar erupted once more from the chaos, as if the great formation had been infused with new power and began to fight back fiercely.

The saints of the Heavenly Dao camp were all affected, and many of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.

"This...how is this possible!" Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned pale as he stared at the scene before him in disbelief. He had never seen such a powerful formation before, nor had he ever imagined that he and his companions would be blocked here.

"Dao Ancestor, what should we do?" the Guide Daoist asked anxiously, his voice trembling slightly. Clearly, he too was feeling unprecedented pressure and fear.

Hongjun's face was ashen, his gaze fixed on the depths of the great formation, as if trying to see through its mysteries. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not fathom the entirety of the formation.

"Continue the attack!" Hongjun said in a deep voice, his tone unwavering and resolute. "As long as we don't give up, there's always hope of breaking through this great formation!"

As they spoke, the saints suddenly sensed that Hongjun was frantically mobilizing the power of the Tianyuan World.

In this way, although they can unleash even greater power, the Tianyuan World they have painstakingly created will soon be destroyed!

Although it was somewhat regrettable, Laozi and the others still followed Hongjun's arrangements and began to frantically mobilize the power of the Tianyuan World.

Hongjun and the saints of the Heavenly Dao camp tried their best to break through the great formation, while Lu Yun used the power of the great formation to continuously deplete their strength.

Nuwa, Houtu, and the others watched this scene through the light and shadow reflected by Lu Yun, and they couldn't help but feel admiration for Lu Yun.

Although they all had great confidence in Lu Yun, they never expected that Lu Yun could set up such a powerful formation to deal with Hongjun and the saints of the Heavenly Dao camp.

"His Majesty the Emperor is truly amazing!"

Zhulong exclaimed in amazement, "This formation is practically tailor-made for Hongjun and the others!"

Hongyun nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, it seems Hongjun and the others have really bitten off more than they can chew this time!"

The Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly and said, "Now, Hongjun is probably going to have a headache."

However, Lu Yun simply smiled calmly and said, "The real show is just beginning."

His words had barely faded when another change occurred within the chaos. A dazzling light suddenly erupted from within the great formation, enveloping the entire battlefield… (End of Chapter)
