Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 181 Joining Forces

"Luo Hou has been the Lord of the Demonic Path for hundreds of millions of years. There must be many contingency plans laid out by the Demon Ancestor within the Demonic Path. Even if You Quan becomes the new Lord of the Demonic Path in the future, he will have to spend a great deal of effort to reorganize the Demonic Path and fully control its destiny."

"This period of time will certainly not be short. When the time comes, I will take advantage of this period of chaos in the demonic path to suppress it, and even replace the demonic path with the Xuanmen in the Western Regions."

"More importantly, we need time now. Brother Lingbao is almost finished pacifying the entire Northern Wilderness. As long as we wait for Brother Lingbao to have some free time, we can naturally crush all obstacles with our overwhelming power."

"If Youquan and Luohou want to fight, then let them fight. Regardless of whether Youquan or Luohou wins in the end, we only need to ensure that the demonic path does not grow and expand again in the process."

Upon hearing Guang Chengzi's words, Ning Fengzi, Chi Songzi, and Chi Jingzi all showed a thoughtful expression on their faces.

Chisongzi and Chijingzi nodded, agreeing with Guangchengzi's point of view. Only Ningfengzi looked at Youquan, recalling his past exchanges with Taiwei, and felt that things would not go as smoothly as Guangchengzi said.

However, after thinking it over, Ning Fengzi couldn't think of anything he had overlooked. He sighed and could only nod in agreement with Guang Chengzi's opinion.

"Fellow Daoist's words are in line with my own thoughts, and I agree on behalf of the Xuanmen."

Guang Chengzi took a step forward, and blue lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, parting the waves of blood as he arrived in front of Youquan. The Taoist and the demon exchanged a glance, both seeing absolute confidence in each other's eyes.

They smiled in unison, and Youquan and Guangchengzi clapped their hands three times. A bolt of heavenly thunder resounded in the Heavenly Netherworld, which was considered as the witness of the Heavenly Dao, and the oath was established.

A blue lotus bloomed in Youquan's palm, while a blood lotus spun in Guangchengzi's palm. The two powerful figures, belonging to the Xuanmen Immortal Path and the Yuanmen Demonic Path respectively, bowed to each other before their figures transformed into countless beams of immortal light and demonic energy and disappeared into the Tianming Land.

In the Western Rong Domain, Youquan slowly opened his eyes, tearing away the blood-red veil covering him with his right hand. The soaring blood light emanating from his body triggered changes in the celestial secrets of the entire Western Rong Domain. Taotie, Qiongqi, and Hundun, sensing the vast and powerful aura emanating from Youquan, finally showed a smile on their faces.

The aura of Youquan is now much stronger than that of Taotie in the past, reaching the peak of the Taiyi realm, making it more than qualified to be the ferocious beast lord of the Western Rong Domain.

"Now that you have fully accepted the power of heaven and earth and the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram of the Western Rong Domain, then make your move. I can already sense that the auras of the five people—Cang Di, Zhu Qi, Xuan Si, Bai Ju, and Yuan Huang—are heading towards the Western Rong Domain."

Qiongqi, with the help of the souls of countless cultivators in the Western Rong Domain, was able to see the five extremely powerful auras heading straight for the Western Rong Domain, and said with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Taotie and Chaos's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this, and they both looked at Youquan and nodded. Youquan took a step forward with a smile on his face and arrived in the high sky of the Western Rong Domain.

The blank Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram flew out of the Western Rong Domain at this moment. The Dao Diagram representing the origin of heaven and earth in the Western Rong Domain began to expand infinitely. Clear blood light emanated from the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram, completely enveloping the membrane of heaven and earth in the Western Rong Domain.

Under Youquan's control, the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Membrane of the Western Rong Domain temporarily merged together. With the help of the power of the Great Void Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Membrane of the Western Rong Domain was strengthened to the extreme.

Furthermore, in the Western Rong Domain, the four ferocious beast lords—Youquan, Chaos, Taotie, and Qiongqi—all shouted in unison, and the Heavenly Extinction Passage in the four ferocious beast domains erupted with boundless spatial and temporal power.

Beyond the Western Rong Domain, disordered spacetime merged into the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram and the membrane of heaven and earth, and the surging river of spacetime disrupted all spacetime order outside the Western Rong Domain.

With this great river of time and space, plus the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram, as long as Youquan is unwilling, even the heads of the five royal families who hold the Taixu Treasures will absolutely not be able to step into the Western Rong Domain, unless they burn the fortune of the five royal families and completely unseal the five Taixu Treasures in their hands.

The power of the five fully unsealed Taixu treasures is enough to break through the various methods set up by Youquan, but in doing so, it is very likely that the entire Xirong Domain will be wiped out from the primordial world.

If the Western Rong Domain collapses, the three ferocious beast lords of the Western Rong Domain—Taotie, Qiongqi, and Hundun—who wield the destiny of the Four Divine Beasts, will inevitably perish. Therefore, the five people—Cangdi, Zhuqi, Xuansi, Baiju, and Yuanhuang—absolutely dare not do such a thing.

The Western Rong Domain is now temporarily safe. The reason it is only temporarily safe is that the power of the Heavenly Extinction Passage has its limits. At most, in 300,000 years, the power of the Heavenly Extinction Passage will decline. At that time, the five royal families will be able to tear open the membrane of the Western Rong Domain with the Taixu Supreme Treasure.

After completely sealing off the Western Rong Domain, Youquan, Hundun, Qiongqi, and Taotie began to fully control the Heavenly Extinction Passage, merging the other three ferocious beast domains into the Western Rong Domain.

The original three great beast domains had been moving towards the location of the Western Rong Domain. The four great beast domains were now very close in position. Now, with the four of them controlling the Heavenly Extinction Passage with all their might, in at most 100,000 years, the three great beast domains of Eastern Yi, Southern Man, and Northern Di would be completely integrated into the Western Rong Domain.

By then, the ferocious beast race will have the strength to fight the five royal families to the death again. Otherwise, even with their four top-level Primordial True Saints, they could not possibly kill all the myriad races and creatures of the primordial world.

If the ferocious beast clan wants to win this war and escape the destiny of the Four Divine Beasts, they can only implant the Great Dao of Ferocious Beasts into the primordial world, integrating countless ferocious beasts into the primordial world so that they become a part of it. Only in this way can they buy time and prevent the destiny of the Four Divine Beasts from being fulfilled.

Thus, if Chaos, Taotie, and Qiongqi were to abandon the Yin and turbid origins within their bodies and relinquish part of their Dao foundation, it would be enough to cause the four—Cangdi, Zhuqi, Xuansi, and Taiwei—to perish.

Without these four, the three royal clans of True Dragon, Phoenix, and Xuan Turtle would likely fall apart. The disappearance of the three royal clans would cause countless chaos among the myriad races of the prehistoric world. At that time, their ferocious beast clan would have the opportunity to sweep across all races and dominate the prehistoric world.

This was the plan of the ferocious beast clan, and also the plan of Chaos, Taotie, and Qiongqi. On the surface, Youquan naturally agreed to this plan, but in his heart, he scoffed at this so-called plan.

In Youquan's mind, the chances of this plan being completed were extremely low, if not very high. The ferocious beast clan failed to win the first war, such a good opportunity, so it would be even more impossible to implant the Great Dao of Ferocious Beasts into the primordial world afterward. The five royal clans would definitely take many precautions against this.
