Chapter 99: Blood Rain Pours Down

"Hongjun!!"

Dijiang let out a cold laugh.

"Dead??"

Seeing Dijiang's attitude, even Luo Hou could not help but gasp.

He dared not believe it, nor could he believe it.

The Wu Clan, to think they could actually keep Hongjun.

After all, the Heavenly Dao Six Sages are the Heavenly Dao Six Sages, but how could Hongjun be compared to them?

Moreover, based on Luo Hou's understanding of Hongjun, he would absolutely not die.

Simply because if he were dead, the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not resurrect him.

Yet, looking at Dijiang's attitude at this moment, he became increasingly suspicious.

"Anything else??"

Now that he had mastered the Small Dao, he was eager to successfully cultivate this technique.

"Hongjun is dead, the Earthly Dao shall be established!!"

Just at this moment, Luo Hou seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Facing the sky, he let out a thunderous shout.

As if his words carried the power of law, thunder suddenly rolled between heaven and earth.

That terrifying aura instantly swept across the entire world.

At the same time.

The clear blue sky with white clouds was suddenly shrouded by a layer of blood-red clouds.

In just this instant, the entire world was enveloped by the red cloud layer.

"A fine scheme!!"

Dijiang, who had turned to leave, appeared once again at the entrance of Pangu Hall.

Looking at Luo Hou at this moment.

"Since he is dead, it must be announced to heaven and earth!!"

Luo Hou turned his head to look at Dijiang.

Whoever killed him must bear this karma.

Simply because the operation of heaven and earth requires living beings to complete it.

Unless the Heavenly Dao can stand on its own.

But clearly, that is not possible right now.

So when Luo Hou spoke, heaven and earth seemed to have successfully verified it.

The red clouds had just hung there.

The next second.

Blood rain began to fall.

It was as if the entire Great Desolation had become filthy and corrupt, and the falling of this blood rain did not serve to cleanse it, but instead plunged this Great Desolation into endless gloom.

Zixiao Palace.

With Luo Hou's shout, all living beings in the world knew.

And at this moment, gathered in Zixiao Palace were the Heavenly Dao Six Sages.

"Teacher Hongjun, is it true?"

Zhunti was the most impatient.

Unlike the other Sages, the current intentions of the Western Two Saints were very simple.

They were single-mindedly focused on repaying their debts.

As long as they could make it through the Great Calamity, they could thoroughly become carefree Sages.

But now, you tell him that Hongjun is dead.

Then who would support them? Without Hongjun's support, how would they repay the Heavenly Dao Oath they once made? This was a very serious problem.

Although they had become Sages, ever since the Great Desolation forcibly summoned them last time.

They now knew just how difficult it was to become a carefree Sage.

Who would want a sharp sword hanging over their head all day long?

Moreover, they were Sages, and had long been accustomed to the vast majesty of a Sage.

"How much credibility do you think Luo Hou's words have?"

Nuwa was also full of curiosity at this moment.

There was even a hint of excitement in her eyes.

After all, her current state was inseparable from Hongjun.

If he hadn't wanted to test her, how would she have exposed all her strength?

Now it was done.

The Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints had completely guarded themselves against her.

In this Conferring of the Gods, she could be said to have suffered to the extreme.

The Nvwa Saint appeared infinitely glorious, yet she had no one to use under her command. Even though Fuxi eventually became the Human Race's Heavenly Emperor, she herself seemed to have been completely severed from the destiny of the Human Race.

And all of this was inseparable from the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints.

"Teacher's magical power is boundless, and he possesses the Heavenly Dao; how could he possibly die!!"

Yuanshi stood out at this moment.

"That is correct."

"Everyone can now fully sense the Heavenly Dao, and since Teacher Hongjun has merged with the Heavenly Dao, it means he is perfectly fine."

Jieyin stood up at this moment as well.

He was pacifying everyone, but was he not also pacifying himself?

There is no need to speak of the Taiqing, Yuanshi, and Tongtian; in terms of strength and treasures, they firmly held the upper hand over them.

And Nuwa.

She was also full of hidden depths.

A single Primordial Holy Sword was enough to break their so-called Golden Body of the Western Region.

Coupled with that Reincarnation Purple Jade Lotus Platform, even if the Western Two Saints attacked together, they would not be Nuwa's match.

Nuwa, who was once considered the weakest Heavenly Dao Saint, had now transformed and displayed unparalleled power.

"Why must everyone guess back and forth here? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to pay respects to Teacher?"

The Taiqing Saint's eyes were calm as an ancient well, yet his heart was already surging with waves.

This was only because he had already come into contact with things he could never have touched before.

Although he maintained a heart of suspicion and vigilance, he was also constantly testing the waters.

It was simply too dangerous; if he made a wrong move, even with his Pangu Primordial Spirit, he would lose his life here.

"Very well, let it be as Brother Taiqing says."

The Saints agreed immediately.

Yet at this moment, Tongtian stood up.

His gaze was profound.

As the most tragic party in this Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

He harbored his own unwillingness.

Since the battle at Pangu Hall, his ties with the Taiqing and Yuanshi had been severed.

And in this Investiture of the Gods Calamity, he had completely settled his moral debts with Hongjun.

Carrying the feeling of having failed his disciples and grand-disciples, he knew that this battle of the Human King was nearing its end, yet he remained unreconciled.

Why must Tongtian be the cannon fodder?

Why must our Jie Sect all become the wandering souls of the Investiture of the Gods?

My Jie Sect seeks the meaning of "Jie" (to intercept), yet in this Great Calamity, we are playing the role of clowns.

My disciples and grand-disciples are fighting bravely against the enemy, yet I have long known the ending and must still hide everything from them while acting out this play.

Why??? Tongtian's sword heart rang out sharply.

The moment he learned that Hongjun was dead, he had wanted to draw his sword and question the heavens.

But now, looking at the proposal of the other Saints, Tongtian had not the slightest interest.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the five Saints, he rode his sword light and left directly.

"Tongtian, what has gotten into him?"

"What else could it be? His old habits are acting up again!!"

"Pay him no mind; in another three to five years, the Investiture of the Gods will be completely over."

"However, at the final moment, he must still set up one more formation, otherwise how will the Great Calamity reach its peak intensity?"

"Don't wait, let us summon Teacher first!!"

The Heavenly Dao Six Sages sat in Zixiao Palace and began to summon Hongjun.

Meanwhile, Dijiang was wholeheartedly beginning to absorb the Calamity Qi of the Great Desolation.

When the Investiture of the Gods Calamity began, it was equivalent to the current Great Desolation containing four layers of Great Calamity.

Although the Fierce Beasts from the Beast Calamity were gone, their Calamity Qi still remained preserved within the Great Desolation.

The Dragon-Han Calamity, the Witch-Demon Calamity, and the current Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

A total of four Great Calamities.

Normally, one Great Calamity should be eliminated before the next one begins.

But now, the Great Calamities were piling up, making the entire Great Desolation resemble a massive black millstone.

And this Calamity Qi, which all living beings feared, instead played into Dijiang's hands.

Being able to kill Hongjun this time, this Calamity Qi accounted for thirty percent of the credit.

This great battle, although it was a battle between Dijiang and Hongjun.

It was also a battle for the Wu Clan.

Because in the process of the battle, Dijiang intercepted countless amounts of energy and sent them into the Wu Clan.
