Chapter 72

Damn it, looking at Hongjun's expression is useless!

This old brat is an old silver coin; who knows if he's doing this on purpose?

Just as I once thought Hongjun, after losing the Pangu Banner, had lost his composure, who would have thought this old brat put on an act, seizing the chance to launch a sneak attack! Little did I know, Hongjun had indeed been genuinely startled by Zhu Qingyun just now.

He... indeed comes from a foreign realm! This is why everyone fears Zhu Qingyun's overwhelming luck and merit, yet only Hongjun is unafraid—the reason.

After all, his Dao fruit isn't even in this Chaos, so how could he fear the backlash of this Chaos's primordial world? This is also why, as he gathers more and more primordial spiritual treasures, opens the mountain gate wide to gather great luck-bearers, his cultivation can swiftly recover.

Because the more primordial worldly things he occupies, the stronger the power he can draw from his Dao fruit via Jieyin naturally becomes! However, he is not the Pangu that Zhu Qingyun guessed; as for him, it is the Dao of the World...

«Fellow Daoist, this farce should end! »

At this moment, Zhu Qingyun possesses the combat power of a Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Nüwa, who proved the Dao by creating humans, also broke through to the Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and moreover she has the added support of her status as Sovereign of the Human Dao! As the one who oversees the Human Dao, Nüwa's single combat strength is absolutely the top in the current primordial world! Therefore, Zhu Qingyun simply couldn't be bothered to investigate Hongjun's origins further.

The advantage is mine; I can't waste it!

If not now to seize the chance to kill Hongjun, when else?

Immediately, Nüwa and Zhu Qingyun joined forces to attack Hongjun! Facing their assault, Hongjun dared not meet it head-on.

Faced with the two's terrifying power, Hongjun's face changed drastically; with a wave of his hand, the world barrier of the primordial realm, as frail as paper, instantly ripped open a gap wide enough for him to pass through! The Creation Jade Disk blazed with light, strands of azure radiance forming a protective shield.

Their strikes hit the shield, sending the Creation Jade Disk flying!

However, the Creation Jade Disk is after all a Chaos supreme treasure; even though it is now somewhat damaged, it still bought Hongjun a bit of time.

Hongjun took a step and instantly arrived in Chaos.

In Chaos, the power of the Human Dao cannot reach; if Zhu Qingyun steps out of the primordial realm and loses the Human Dao's power, his combat strength cannot remain at the saint level.

Nüwa, however, has no such worry; even without the Human Dao's empowerment, she remains a Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal! Immediately, Nüwa prepared to pursue into Chaos.

But unexpectedly, Hongjun's great Dao adversary, the Lord of the Demonic Realm Luo Hu, blocked Nüwa's path! «Move aside! »

Nüwa shouted angrily; she well knew that her master and Hongjun were mortal enemies, and with the advantage she naturally wouldn't let this chance slip! The Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is divided into nine heavens; by creating humanity, Nüwa's breakthrough brought her to the second heaven of that realm! In her perception, Hongjun, Luo Hu, and her master aided by Human Dao power are all first-heaven Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortals! Therefore, she is confident she can slay Hongjun in Chaos.

«Fellow Daoist, why such great killing intent? »

Luo Hu did not step aside, but instead chuckled and said.

As the Lord of the Demonic Dao, he would rather temporarily aid his own great Dao adversary than see the forces of the myriad heavens' islands in the primordial world monopolized by a single power! Hongjun will certainly divert great energy from those forces, giving him a chance to fish in troubled waters and accumulate strength.

Now only a living Hongjun can maximize his own benefit!

Nüwa instantly flared with anger, preparing to first slay Luo Hu then seek Hongjun.

But unexpectedly, before she could act, Zhu Qingyun shouted to stop her!

«Nüwa, come back! »

Sensing Nüwa's intent to act, Zhu Qingyun hurriedly spoke.

Luo Hu is the Lord of the Demonic Realm; at present, the Demonic Realm and the primordial world have completely merged into one.

If Nüwa forcibly slays Luo Hu, his methods will surely detonate the entire Demonic Realm! Then, the collapse of the Demonic Realm would be no less than the original timeline's Gong Gong colliding with Mount Buzhou! Such immense karmic force upon Nüwa alone could even topple her from her position as Sovereign of the Human Dao.

The time Nüwa would need to slay Luo Hu is also enough for Hongjun to flee who knows how far! Zhu Qingyun knows that once Luo Hu acts, there will be no chance left to kill Hongjun.

However, Zhu Qingyun believes Hongjun will certainly still covet the primordial world, and there will be many future opportunities to cross blades! «Master…»

Nüwa felt indignant; although she had become Sovereign of the Human Dao and her strength surpassed Zhu Qingyun's, she still heeded his words.

«Hmph! »

A strand of Creation light lashed Luo Hu, causing him to involuntarily grunt, after which Nüwa returned to Zhu Qingyun's side.

Through the world barrier, seeing no trace of Hongjun in Chaos, Nüwa alone felt a surge of frustration.

«Disciple, we should first deal with the Great Calamity! »

In just a thousand years, under Luo Hu's control, the three tribes' beings lost their reason.

A frenzied great war, the battlefield already shattered to pieces! Countless beings of the three tribes perished utterly; even a peak Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal like Zhu Long suffered injury, while the rest of the tribes are barely one in ten left!

Especially the Dragon Tribe, with the fall of the Ancestral Dragon, their fortunes have nearly collapsed!

Zhu Qingyun beheld this tragic battle and let out a faint sigh.

«How innocent these ordinary beings of the three tribes are, how can you, fellow Daoist, be so ruthless? »

The Yin-Yang Old Ancestor said this; he is questioning Luo Hu.

But Luo Hu paid no heed, even sneering at the Yin-Yang Old Ancestor's overflowing sympathy.

Clearly, at the start our cultivations were barely different, yet now I have broken through to Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, while the Yin-Yang Old Ancestor has merely reached the extreme of the Dao!

The Great Dao's way is inherently survival of the fittest, you die or I live!

Moreover, I am the Demonic Ancestor; slaughtering all beings of the primordial world is the ultimate destination of my Dao! Watching as the more the three tribes' beings die, the more violently the Eastern Sea Eye, the Undying Volcano, and the Central Continent of the primordial world tremble.

Zhu Qingyun hesitated no longer, immediately mobilizing his Human Dao power to the fullest; seeing this, Nüwa likewise hurried to follow.

«Awaken! »

The Human Dao's power trembled; Zhu Qingyun's voice rang like a great bell, and the three tribes' remaining beings, wholly dominated by the desire for slaughter, instantly awoke from the war.

The awakened leaders of the three tribes—Zhu Long, Qing Long, Zhu Que, Jin Feng, Mo Qi Lin, Si Bu Xiang, etc. —gazed at the grim scene before them, their eyes filled with sorrow! «Luo Hu! »

The Yuan Feng and Shi Qi Lin, who returned from the outer Chaos to the primordial world, also regarded Luo Hu with eyes full of hatred.

The two great divine-wielders' eyes were about to burst; they hated him so much they wished to devour his flesh and gnaw his bones.

Having returned from the outer Chaos, they tried countless means to free their peoples from Luo Hu's control, but to little avail.

Watching their kin die endlessly, the two great divine-wielders shed tears of blood! If before they hated most Hongjun for turning the Killing Calamity into the Great Calamity, now they hate most Luo Hu!
