Chapter 98: Hongjun is Dead

"This is, this is Calamity Qi."

"How are you able to wield the Qi of the Great Calamity, and it is even closely connected to your physical body."

"No."

"I cannot die; if I die now, the Heavenly Dao will not let me go."

"Dijiang, do not kill me, let us cooperate!!"

Amidst his screams, Hongjun turned directly into ashes.

"Dead???"

Dijiang frowned.

He had watched with his own eyes as Hongjun turned into flying ash within the torrent of his full-strength attack.

Yet Dijiang always felt it was unreal.

"Two-two without interval, searching heaven and seeking earth, heart-to-heart connection, divine thoughts in a single line."

Pangu Hall has countless abilities, from the initial sensing of malice to the divine abilities Dijiang has explored up to now.

This is the main reason why Dijiang has always remained in Pangu Hall, yet has a thorough grasp of the information within the Great Desolation.

It is only because the world is currently in chaos, and no one can sort out the heavenly secrets.

Under such circumstances, only some special means can see some things clearly.

And at this moment, Dijiang, in order to verify whether Hongjun was truly dead.

Operated Pangu Hall to its extreme.

But before he could investigate Hongjun, an uninvited guest was already standing at the entrance of Pangu Hall.

"Friend, do you need my help?"

The voice of Luohou sounded outside Pangu Hall.

At this time, Dijiang's aura was surging throughout his body, and wanting to calm it down in a short time was simply impossible.

And Luohou, who appeared to be an ally, was merely waiting for an opportunity.

If he were to see his current state of disordered aura, he would definitely strike at the first opportunity.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission, obtaining the reward of Small Dao Communicating with the Divine!!!】

Just as Dijiang was preparing what means to use to deal with Luohou, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Hongjun, really dead!!!"

Dijiang found it unbelievable.

But he owed everything he had today to the system.

If he could not even believe it, then who else could he believe?

It seems Hongjun was nothing more than this; the only pity now is.

That the Grand Primordial Measuring Heaven Ruler and the Creation Jade Disk actually disappeared along with him.

While he was sighing, the reward of Small Dao Communicating with the Divine also fully merged into Dijiang's mind.

"So that's how it is!!"

During the time of Chaos, there were three thousand Great Daos.

Among them, there were ten supreme Great Daos, which were: Power Great Dao, Time Great Dao, Space Great Dao, Chaos Great Dao, Immortal Dao Great Dao, Demonic Dao Great Dao, Life Great Dao, Five Elements Great Dao, Yin Yang Great Dao, and Great Dao of Destruction.

Among them were the ten supreme Great Daos, over a thousand top-tier Great Daos, and two thousand ordinary Great Daos.

Of course, the Great Dao actually has no distinction of high or low, strong or weak.

Why are they divided into supreme, top-tier, and ordinary Great Daos?

That is because within the imprints of these Great Daos, there were once living beings who cultivated these Great Daos to such a level.

For example, the most ordinary Fire Great Dao.

If one day, a powerful cultivator could elevate this Fire Great Dao above all other Great Daos.

His prestige would also shake the past and illuminate the present.

And now, the most monstrous aspect of this divine ability, Small Dao Communicating with the Divine.

Is that it can use special methods, relying on one's own Small Path of Force, to communicate with all Great Daos.

If one is willing, one only needs to follow the steps to cultivate to the Dao Realm.

But in this process, if one cannot guard their original heart.

One will be influenced by the Great Dao.

Even the weakest Great Dao can turn the Small Dao into one's own Great Dao.

This is because within the Great Daos, there is also ubiquitous competition.

And this competition lies with the successors of each Great Dao.

The stronger the Great Dao the successor cultivates, the stronger that Great Dao's power in Chaos becomes.

"Communicating with the Divine!!" Dijiang took a deep breath.

Using the secret technique of the Small Dao divine ability, he instantly formed a mysterious seal.

At the same time, his Primordial Spirit and physical body, in a strange posture, communicated with the Great Dao in the dark.

Just like the Nine Breaths Serving Qi among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper divine abilities, a strand of Great Dao Qi descended from the Chaos in the dark.

And Dijiang, having absorbed just this little bit of Great Dao Qi.

The disordered aura throughout his body instantly recovered.

Even what was consumed in the battle just now was fully replenished at this moment.

Boom!! Just at this moment, the gate of Pangu Hall was blasted open.

It seemed like a moment, but in fact, over a hundred years had already passed.

Luohou saw that Dijiang would not open the door and feared a change might occur, so he communicated with the power of the Earthly Dao from the outside and used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to temporarily blast open Pangu Hall.

"Luohou, what are you trying to do???"

The great hall opened, and Dijiang stood at the entrance.

"Are you alright!!!"

Luohou narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dijiang.

This was because a hundred years ago, he discovered that Hongjun's aura had completely vanished.

And the very last moment of it had been within Pangu Hall.

Although he and Dijiang had formed an alliance, he did not trust this so-called alliance.

After all, everything was merely his own wishful thinking.

This was something he knew himself.

Therefore, he had not entered Pangu Hall.

Just because countless eons ago, he had already been tricked by Hongjun once within the Dragon Vein of the Western Region.

So he would not be fooled again.

Yet after waiting for a hundred years, Hongjun's aura had completely disappeared.

Moreover, the entire world had undergone tremendous changes.

The Conferring of the Gods had been stopped.

But as the great war evolved, the deaths of countless disciples and grand-disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sages...

... had instead indirectly brought about the Conferring of the Gods.

Despite having the advantage of controlling the stars and the terrain of the Great Desolation, the Conferring of the Gods had neared its end in a mere hundred years.

The Heavenly Court was restarted.

The names of Haotian and Yaochi resounded throughout the entire Great Desolation.

Even now, Earthly Dao Luohou and Tiandao Hongjun seemed to have little reputation before the majority of living beings.

Instead, the moment the Heavenly Court's Liangtian Jade Emperor was mentioned, they knew who it was.

What was most terrifying was that as more and more were conferred as gods, the entire world became increasingly bizarre.

Yet at this time, Hongjun had actually gone missing.

If it were just this, Luohou would not have rashly attacked Pangu Hall.

After all, the Wu and Demon clans were too mysterious, and he did not want to tear apart an alliance that had been hard-won.

But enemies from the Outer Realm had invaded again, and yet Hongjun had vanished.

This pressure fell upon Luohou for the first time.

When he had exhausted all his means to finally repel the enemies from the Outer Realm...

... the momentum of the Heavenly Dao had instead grown even stronger.

This was because it was the responsibility of the Heavenly Dao; now that the world had sensed it, it had bestowed much merit.

And Luohou, who had gained nothing, was even more furious.

Therefore, he urgently wanted to know what kind of game Hongjun was playing.

Was he truly going to let the Great Desolation be breached by the enemies from the Outer Realm? If so, there would be more and more rivals competing for the Opening Heaven Great Dao.

And they might not be able to hold onto their existing power.

"Do I look like I have something wrong with me right now???"

Facing Luohou's intentions, Dijiang already knew them from within Pangu Hall.

"Where has Hongjun gone?"

Luohou took a deep breath, trying his best to appear calm.
