Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 421

Two weeks later, Hongyun walked out of the room and headed straight for the front door.

Frustrated, she shook off Zhen Yuanzi: "Don't follow me, I want to go out and have some fun!"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled faintly as he watched Hongyun leave Wuzhuang Temple, but the next second, a bolt from the blue struck without warning, and a vast expanse of lightning, as wide as the sea, crashed down.

The moment Hongyun sensed the heavenly lightning, she looked up, but before she could defend herself, she was enveloped by it.

Under the thunder, Wanshou Mountain was instantly engulfed in flames, the mountain collapsed, its spiritual energy was depleted, and countless mountain spirits and wild beasts turned to ashes.

Of the entire Longevity Mountain, only Wuzhuang Temple remains intact due to the barrier of the Earth Book; the rest is devastated.

Where Hongyun had just been, only a cloud of blood mist slowly dissipated.

Zhen Yuanzi stared blankly at the scene, not even having time to utter a word of warning.

"Pfft~" Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Huiyu rushed over: "Master!"

"Sage!" Lu Ya and Hui Yu helped Zhen Yuanzi up together.

After Zhen Yuanzi got up, he tore through the void and stepped out of Wuzhuang Temple. He stood where the red clouds had just turned into blood mist, slowly stretched out his hand, trembling as he felt the traces of the red clouds dissipating.

If he hadn't retained a sliver of reason, knowing that the Heavenly Dao wouldn't truly obliterate Hongyun, he would have wanted to hold the Earth Book and perish together with the entire prehistoric world, letting that damned Heavenly Dao also experience the taste of annihilation.

Huiyu sensed something was wrong. He, as a quasi-saint, had not suffered any injuries. How could his master, a saint, be injured to the point of vomiting blood?

Moreover, with such a commotion, why didn't the Sage of Red Clouds come out to check?

"Who attracted such a large commotion?" Lu Ya guessed what was going on and looked at Hui Yu with a look of horror.

Then, with unparalleled comfort, he said, "Sages are immortal and indestructible, it's alright, it's alright!"

The two once again experienced firsthand the ruthlessness of the Heavenly Way: whoever the Heavenly Way needs prospers, and whoever it does not need perishes.

Just like their demon race, who rose to prominence after the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, only to be abandoned and destroyed as the primordial world was about to enter the era of sages. Just like the sages, who appeared when the rules of Heaven were not yet mature, only to be punished after offending Heaven.

Zhen Yuanzi searched the area but couldn't find Hongyun's primordial spirit.

This realization caused Zhen Yuanzi to completely lose his composure, and with a flick of his long sleeves, all the flames throughout Longevity Mountain vanished.

He projected his divine sense outwards and carefully searched every corner of Longevity Hill.

Three times, a full three times, but still no clue.

Huiyu and Lu Ya also joined the search, and even Mosquito Daoist was found, but the more they searched, the more panicked they became.

After confirming that Hongyun's primordial spirit was not at Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly looked up at the sky, his ten fingers clenched into fists, and a fierce wind blew around him.

His eyes concealed anger, and a powerful aura gathered in the air, like an impending thunderbolt, sending chills down one's spine.

"How are your junior brothers?" Zhen Yuanzi slowly closed his eyes, concealing his emotions.

Huiyu hesitated before speaking, "Just now, when struck by lightning, all my junior brothers suffered internal injuries and vomited blood. Ao Bing and Ji Chong both fainted."

Zhen Yuanzi said in a stern voice, "Lu Ya, go to Jin'ao Island and ask your master to come here."

Before the words were finished, Tongtian stepped out of the void: "No need!"

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Tongtian but said nothing.

Tongtian understood everything: "I will go with you."

"No way!" Zhen Yuanzi resolutely refused.
