Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 77 Obeying or Defying Heaven, Strength is the Standard

At that very moment, the first to notice were Jieyin and Zhunti on Mount Sumeru.

Because at the same time that Hongyun activated the Great Cause and Effect Technique to transfer merit, not only did Hongyun himself give away most of his merit.

Furthermore, through the principle of cause and effect, a portion of their merits was also taken away, approximately one percent less.

Even then, it was only because the two reacted quickly; otherwise, they would have lost even more.

"boom!"

At this moment, the sage was enraged. His terrifying divine sense swept across heaven and earth in an instant, searching for the source.

Hongyun in the Creation Cauldron felt somewhat weak after unleashing the Great Cause and Effect Technique.

I feel completely drained.

However, as the Qiankun World rapidly absorbed and released energy, Hongyun's magical power quickly recovered.

Of course, with a large portion of his merits gone, Hongyun, who was already in the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, had fallen to the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm.

There was no time to think.

Hongyun knew that he had secretly robbed Jieyin and Zhunti, and the two victims would soon come knocking on his door.

He quickly moved and left the Creation Cauldron. Before Jieyin and Zhunti could even sense him, he and Zhen Yuanzi carried the Creation Cauldron toward the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Just as the two had left, the divine thoughts of Jieyin and Zhunti finally arrived belatedly.

They kept sweeping back and forth in the same spot.

"Senior brother, it's that beast Hongyun again! He stole our merits!" On Mount Sumeru, Zhunti was furious and shocked.

One percent of his merit was lost in an instant; luckily, Zhunti didn't fall from his holy position.

He was already the weakest of the saints, and now he truly deserves that title. Because if his merits were even slightly less, he would truly be deposed from his saintly position.

This is also something that Hongyun regrets. The reason he forcibly seized the merits of the two was firstly for Houtu, and secondly to take the opportunity to first disable Zhunti and weaken the two.

To avoid being overwhelmed by a group attack in the event of battle.

Unfortunately, it was just a tiny bit short.

fail.

However, both of them were still weakened.

Jieyin did not answer Zhunti, but said with a solemn expression, "The situation is not good. I did not expect that Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother would get involved."

"Notify the other senior students; we can't let them run rampant!"

Jieyin acted decisively, already knowing what Hongyun was planning, and immediately relayed the message to the other four saints.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa.

However, at this moment, there was no need for the two of them to notify anyone, because from the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea, a terrifying array aura suddenly surged forth.

Five-colored light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the surging power of the five elements converged towards the Netherworld Blood Sea.

The powerful beings from all corners of the world, as well as the saints, were all alarmed, and their divine senses were projected toward the sea of ​​blood.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, not far from the Pure Heaven, in the Nuwa Heaven, Nuwa also received the message conveyed by Jieyin.

Looking towards the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea in the primordial wilderness, Nuwa's face showed hesitation.

What Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi were doing at this moment was astonishing; they wanted to create a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, this Primordial Golden Immortal is the ancestral witch of the Witch Clan, the ancestral witch of Earth, Houtu.

Nuwa sighed deeply, but did not make a move.

"My two junior brothers, I will not participate in this matter, but whether it succeeds or not depends on yourselves," Nuwa sighed.

But Nuwa remained unmoved.

The other sages, however, all moved.

First, from the direction of Mount Sumeru, came the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, and then from the direction of Mount Kunlun came the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Then came Laozi, the Sage of Taiqing, from Shouyang Mountain, and finally came Tongtian, the Sage of Shangqing, from Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.

The five saints arrived near the Sea of ​​Blood.

At this moment, the entire sea of ​​blood was enveloped by a great formation, which was Hongyun's Innate Five Elements Formation.

The saints were all somewhat surprised to see this grand formation.

Did Hongyun really manage to collect all five innate flags?

At this moment, within the Innate Five Elements Grand Array, Styx's sluggish yet furious curse rang out: "Hongyun, you're messing with me again!"

"Let me out of here!!"

Styx was in despair. He had already been suppressed and had his spiritual treasures stolen last time, but this time, Hongyun actually used his Blood Sea as the battlefield for the war between the saints.

Who could stand this?

Although they didn't know what Hongyun was up to or why he had attracted so many saints.

It looks like war is about to break out.

But at this moment, Styx was truly terrified!

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down."

Zhen Yuanzi's gentle voice rang out, reassuring Minghe, "The matter is urgent, and it's not appropriate to explain it to you, fellow Daoist."

"But rest assured, fellow Daoist, with me here, I will not let you perish. You may take refuge in my sleeve!"

With that, Zhen Yuanzi flicked his sleeve, covering the Styx River and simultaneously capturing all the monsters, including the Asuras, Rakshasas, Nagas, and others, in the Blood Sea.

Of course, because Styx refined the Netherworld Blood Sea, this entire Blood Sea is essentially a super clone of him.

Although Zhen Yuanzi took away his original body, Styx still used the water of the Blood Sea to condense the Blood God Child's incarnation and cursed him.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi silently took out the Earth Book and held it in his hand. Upon seeing the Earth Book, Styx finally fell silent.

The blood god incarnations that had been formed all turned back into blood and merged into the sea of ​​blood.

The entire sea of ​​blood calmed down.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun then left the great formation to welcome the saints.

Hongyun wore a faint smile, his gaze sweeping over the five saints. He smiled, bowed, and said, "Three senior brothers, two junior brothers."

Zhen Yuanzi also bowed in return.

Zhunti immediately roared angrily, "Hongyun, I respect you as my senior brother, yet you have repeatedly schemed against me. Today, I will not let this go."

With a pained expression, Jieyin said, "Senior brothers, please stop before things escalate into a major disaster."

The Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Master of Tongtian exchanged glances.

However, they could all see that Hongyun's aura was off; it was much weaker than before.

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning's eyes lit up, and he said, "My two junior brothers have committed such a heaven-defying act. Aren't you afraid of being stripped of your sainthood?"

Although neither the Sage of Taiqing nor the Master of Tongtian spoke, they stood together with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Clearly, at this time, the Three Pure Ones were still one, advancing and retreating together, and the words of Yuanshi Tianzun represented their common will.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Hongyun.

Hongyun gave him a reassuring look and smiled, "Everyone, whether to follow or defy Heaven is not up to you to decide."

"Today's matter is nothing more than wanting to see if I can create a Primordial Golden Immortal with my abilities."

"If you all refuse, you may enter the formation at will. If you can defeat me, I, Hongyun, will have nothing to say. But if your strength is insufficient and you cannot break my great formation, then you cannot blame me. This will prove that I am the one who follows Heaven's will, I am the one who represents Heaven's will!"

Hongyun spoke calmly and casually, as if he were facing not five saints.

Instead, they were like five ants.

This contemptuous attitude finally ignited anger in the hearts of many sages.

"Arrogant! Junior brother, you've defied the heavens and lost so much merit, do you still think you're invincible?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was the first to act, unleashing the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which smashed directly at Hongyun's head, striking his crown chakra.

At the same time, Zhunti was also furious. He had somehow acquired the Seven Treasures Tree and with a forceful swipe, a strong seven-colored light swept towards Hongyun.
