Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

Apart from the three corpses that Hongjun had severed, which had then merged and separated again, sixteen warriors of sainthood or higher gathered high in the sky, obscuring the sun and moon and darkening the heavens and earth.

Hongjun still had a kind and benevolent appearance, with an otherworldly air. He held the jade tablet of morality in his hand and began to exert force little by little, causing the jade tablet to shatter inch by inch.

At the same time, Dao De began to lose his breath, his face turned pale, his Daoist aura became chaotic, and his soul was real!

"My dear disciple, you were lying to me all along."

Hongjun sneered and continued to exert force, causing jade fragments to fly everywhere, turning into a sky full of snow. The jade tablet that shone with golden light was about to be completely destroyed.

"Dao Ancestor, please forgive me!"

With a loud "boom," Taiyi made his move. The Chaos Bell covered the heavens and earth, and the chaotic energy spread, transforming into a giant hammer. With one heavy blow, the Chaos Bell rang eighty-one times in an instant, instantly freezing the earth, water, fire, and wind of this place. The long river of time appeared and also stopped.

However, this astonishing binding force only caused Hongjun to pause slightly. With a flick of his finger, Taiyi immediately coughed up blood and flew backward.

But that slight pause was enough. Yang Mei and Xu Qing timed it perfectly. Xu Qing released that small world and merged it with the Great Primordial World.

Hongjun immediately felt his integration with the Heavenly Dao decrease, and the golden jade tablet that he could easily destroy was now impossible to hold.

Jieyin and Zhunti were overjoyed; there really was hope, and Xu Qing hadn't lied to them!

Meanwhile, Yang Mei traveled to a small world and began to vie with Hongjun for control of the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun wasn't angry, but his expression turned somewhat gloomy. He coldly said, "Space, you've come up with a good idea all these years. You want the Heavenly Dao? I'll give it to you, but... these people are mine now."

After saying this, Hongjun threw out the Creation Jade Disc to prevent Yang Mei from completely merging with the Heavenly Dao, while he and Luo Hou, who was covered in black energy, launched a fierce attack on the other thirteen people.

Hongjun held a whisk of righteous energy, and white streaks shot out like white dragons and white ribbons, tearing through the chaos amidst the ethereal immortal energy. With a casual move, he created emptiness without illusion.

Luo Hou was dressed in a black robe and held a black spear that he had obtained from an unknown source. It was identical in form to the God-Slaying Spear, exuding a chilling killing intent and a strong aura of destruction. Zhen Yuanzi felt as if he was about to be crushed to death by the pressure.

Everyone rushed to defend themselves. Zhen Yuanzi did not have the Earth Book in his hand, but instead took out the Treasure Dividing Cliff and the Netherworld Gourd that he had seized from Kunpeng years ago.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Treasure-Dividing Cliff, originally the size of a human hand, transformed into a mountain peak. The Xuanhuang Qi and the Primordial Earth Qi flowed between them. The Netherworld Gourd emitted a ghostly light, and the eerie ghostly aura collided with the Rahu Divine Spear.

Xu Qing, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, clashed with Rahu's God-Slaying Spear, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire continuously scorching the demonic energy surrounding Rahu.

Nuwa unfolded her Mountain and River Map, containing the demonic energy within and continuously weakening Rahu's attacks.

He sat upright on a twelve-petaled golden lotus, and presented a blue lotus banner. It also collided with Rahu's divine spear, which emitted a great golden light. He continuously chanted the divine mantra of the Guide, and the sound of Sanskrit chants lingered.

The Seven Treasures Tree of Cundi emitted seven colors, constantly brushing against the God-Slaying Spear, revealing a Dharma form with eighteen hands and twenty-four heads, holding a necklace, umbrella, flower pot, fish intestine, and blessing a vajra, precious file, golden bell, golden bow, silver halberd, banner, precious mirror, golden umbrella, silver bell... each piece emitting precious light, each containing heavenly power.

Taiyi, pale-faced, returned to the battlefield. Chaos Bell attacked Luo Hou from the side, and the chaotic energy condensed into a mountain that blotted out the sky, intending to suppress him for eternity!

With the combined efforts of the six, they barely managed to block Luo Hou's attack. The primordial world collapsed, and the seven Great Daos manifested, colliding with each other and almost obliterating one another.

On the other side, the Three Pure Ones and Houtu also joined forces to resist Hongjun's Righteous Qi Dust-wielding Sword, Shangqing's Immortal-Slaying Sword, Yuqing's Pangu Banner, Taiqing's Heaven and Earth Exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda, Houtu's Reincarnation Divine Disc and Earth Book, all of which are top-notch supernatural powers and magic treasures in the world, but they could not stop the Righteous Qi Dust-wielding Sword from rapidly approaching the Morality at the forefront.

"This is the Lord of Humanity? Of all the countless beings in the primordial world over the years, you have the deepest cunning. Even at this point, you still want to hide your strength?!"

Hongjun frowned slightly, looking at the pale-faced Dao De before him. Something was wrong with this intensity.

Yang Mei spread his divine sense and found that morality was about to collapse. A flash of silver light appeared, and before he arrived, a willow branch swept away Hongjun's righteous energy.

The ability to move freely through space, the ability to hold back the Creation Jade Disc by oneself, and the ability to join the battlefield at any time are truly troublesome. Hongjun's expression changed, and at this moment, he could no longer care about the strangeness of morality.

He quickly withdrew his righteous energy whisk, released a beam of light with his left hand, and flicked the whisk at Taiyi on the other side with his right hand. Better to break one finger than injure all ten!

Yang Mei's pupils contracted sharply, and just as she was about to blink again, she discovered that Hongjun had sealed off the space. Hongjun's spatial sealing was of course not as good as Yang Mei's, but if it only took a moment, Taiyi would probably be decapitated.

At the critical moment, Xu Qingyuan's primordial avatar, which had been standing to the side, flew out and hovered in front of Taiyi, buying him some time.

Taiyi reacted quickly and dodged the sweeping attack of the Righteous Qi Dust Brush.

The three clones of Qi were mostly scattered, leaving only a white void where Taiyi originally stood. Chaotic Qi continued to dissipate, but it was difficult to repair.

"What terrifying power."

Zhunti glanced at it, his eyes wide with shock, and he couldn't help but click his tongue and swallow hard.

Thus, the first exchange came to an end. Xu Qingfang's three Qi clones were severely injured, while Hongjun was unharmed.

"The situation is not good. If we fall into a disadvantageous position, the Western duo may turn against us at any time," Xu Qing immediately shouted.

"Senior, what's your backup plan?"

Yang Mei nodded with a solemn expression, and a cane carved with a dragon head appeared in his hand.

"The Primordial Immortal Dragon Staff?! Why is it with you?"

Upon seeing what Yang Mei was holding, Hongjun lost his composure for the first time, his brows furrowed and his expression grave.

"Immortal Dao, back then, in order to enter the Primordial World as soon as possible, you abandoned your innate demon god origins and even your own companion magic treasures, and instead seized the body of Hongjun, the first wisp of primordial energy in the world."

"Do you think that just because you threw this Primordial Immortal Dragon Crutch into the boundless void, I won't be able to find it?"

Yang Mei raised the Hunyuan Immortal Dragon Staff high and shouted at Hongjun, but his eyes were fixed on the Western duo.

Jieyin and Zhunti could only tremble with fear; their saintly cultivation offered them no sense of security whatsoever.

"So what? This cane is just an ordinary magical artifact to you. What can you do about it?"

Hongjun said this, but he stared intently at the Hunyuan Immortal Dragon Crutch in Yang Mei's hand. This was his natal magic weapon, and it was deeply connected to him by karma, so he had to be careful.

Unfortunately, in order to enter the prehistoric world as soon as possible, I had to give up this treasure. In order to prevent Yang Mei from obtaining it, I chose to throw it into the Void. I thought that with my fate with it, I would definitely have a chance to find it in the future, but instead Yang Mei got it first. It's really hateful!
