Chapter 1738

A thought of retreat rose in Hongjun's heart.

The two had been fighting until now, and he hadn't even touched the corner of his opponent's clothes, yet had already lost two Chaos Spirit Treasures.

The opponent's strength had clearly surpassed his imagination.

"Could this person be an incarnation of Pangu?"

Seeing that ruler coming down again, Hongjun hastily summoned a scroll and held it before him.

Upon the scroll, the power of Heaven and Earth flowed, and amid the flashing of mysterious light, immeasurable great thousand worlds evolved—truly a fine treasure.

"The Heaven and Earth Scroll?"

Zhang Taixuan's lips curled slightly. "Ancestor Hongjun truly is the most brilliant figure under heaven, quietly collecting several ancient divine artifacts into his hands."

And what method did he use?

The great righteousness of Heaven and Earth!

The so-called emergence of the Demon Ancestor Luohou would plunge the world into misery.

Just that one sentence alone had drawn many great-power beings out of seclusion, only to be schemed to death.

Truly, it could be said that great righteousness is like a mountain.

Beneath the mountain, those crushed are the ones willing to sacrifice themselves for righteousness.

As for those who shout righteousness from their mouths, they sit back and reap the benefits.

Whether in the world of gods and demons, or in an ordinary world, such people are exceedingly common.

"Heh— it's simply 'the victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit!'" Hongjun showed not a shred of shame, his voice ringing loud. "If they were schemed by me, they can only blame themselves for insufficient Dao cultivation."

"So much the better." Zhang Taixuan chuckled lightly. "If you lose, that too is simply 'the victor becomes king, the loser becomes a bandit,' and you can blame no one else."

Immortal light surged upon the Taixuan Ruler, transforming into a flying bird that opened its beak and swallowed the Heaven and Earth Scroll into its belly in one gulp.

The flying bird descended and landed on Zhang Taixuan's shoulder, its demeanor affectionate.

This was precisely the Flying Immortal Divine Ability that Zhang Taixuan had evolved to its utmost extreme.

This change came too suddenly, catching even Hongjun off guard.

He had originally assumed Zhang Taixuan would win through divine weapons, yet instead, Zhang Taixuan had directly evolved a divine ability and seized the Heaven and Earth Scroll he valued so highly.

Such a scene was simply too horrifying.

A divine ability!

(Wang Hao's) If it were someone below the Hunyuan realm, they could naturally rely on it to run rampant.

But for those above the Hunyuan realm, how could they still be suppressed by a mere divine ability?

This was also why the battles among Chaos gods and demons were mostly brawls.

No other reason—divine abilities held little use for beings of their realm.

Yet the fact before his eyes overturned Hongjun's understanding.

Divine abilities were not only useful, but greatly so.

That bird-like divine ability could suppress the Chaos Spirit Treasure Heaven and Earth Scroll, and naturally could also suppress Hunyuan-level powerhouses.

"Could it be that you've already obtained the creation of a Primordial world?"

Suddenly, Hongjun's eyes went wide, and a look of realization appeared. "That's right—otherwise, how could you have evolved a divine ability to such a degree!"

Thinking of this, Hongjun even understood why the other party wished to lay hands on this world.

Having already tasted the benefits of a Primordial world, and having seen his own world, he naturally wished to take another bite, to advance one step further.
