Chapter 519: Youthful recklessness breaks the legs; even the starry sea remains just a sea

My sacrifice is so enormous……

Daozu pondered silently, 'Cang, Di Jun…… In this battle, if you cannot give me a satisfactory explanation, I will have no choice but to give you an explanation.'

Hongjun alone faced the remaining Wu witches, his cold eyes watching the great Wu squad that had broken through the blockade under the protection of the ancient god Yuanhuang's feathered wings to come rescue Donghuang, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Today could be considered his unlucky day.

Being disgusted to the extreme by a bunch of despicable people caused his personal integrity's bottom line to plummet, making him mature far too much in an instant, turning him into a worldly person thereafter, never again able to be noble and lofty.

——I am the Daozu, upholding heaven and executing the Dao; who dares not respect?

——You've been sprayed by Dijiang!

——I am the Daozu, the Dao transmitted to the Myriad Heavens; who can fail to revere?

——You've been sprayed by Dijiang!

——Damn, can you guys stop bringing this up?

Whenever he slightly imagined such a possible dialogue, Hongjun felt the urge to tear apart those bastard Dijiang.

Yes, that's right.

He has now gone all-in, appearing indifferent to this ordeal——a true warrior who dares to face the ocean of sprayheads, steadfast in his life's choice.

Having received the 'baptism', he no longer fears the same tactics from then on……Having endured the hardship once, he becomes composed.

But that doesn't mean he bears no grudge, nor does he cease to feel furious and frenzied.

Settle accounts after the autumn, let's go!

Moreover, besides Dijiang's little group, there are Houtu, Zhujiuyin, and a series of other directly informed people, even the onlookers and accomplices……If possible, we must definitely find an opportunity to 'strike' them, or even simply silence them!

Until they are terrified, fully understanding how to write the two words 'amnesia', and grasping the principle of selective amnesia.

——This is the same situation as the 'Nüwa-director'.

Nüwa the screenwriter, Niu Potiān, laughing as he sacrificed his teammates to heaven……

Besides that, this Donghuang affair is absolutely the biggest black mark in Nüwa's directorial career, encompassing the era's biggest joke——the clown turns out to be me myself?!

Before the Nüwa-director had even finished filming, an operational mistake caused the male lead actor to die unexpectedly, resulting in deep legal entanglements, exhausting the budget, and thereafter being banned from the director's circle……

How miserable!

Hongjun could have wildly mocked Nüwa——for an opponent with such low intelligence, I deeply sympathize, feeling that even victory would be deeply shameful, bullying the mentally deficient, my heart feeling guilty.

The victory speech, Daozu had already prepared.

Unfortunately.

With one hand of the god Fuxi, the Lei Ze's amrita poured over the crown, Dijiang took the initiative to attack……He forcibly dragged Hongjun down to the same level of ridicule as Nüwa.

Well now——having taken fifty steps, don't laugh at those who have taken a hundred steps.

Even if there is a cause, Hongjun is not like Nüwa, whose joke is self-made……But who else would care?

Having come to this point, all we can do is wait for the day when our fists are big enough to pull this black history out of the flow of time and seal it at the very bottom of the Suiyue Changhe.

By the way, cast upon these wise ones of the Wu Clan the spell of physical oblivion, so they may forever keep silent.

Right.

Also, Dragon Ancestor and Di Jun, this group.

They also cannot be let off.

He, the Daozu, only ended up in this 'tragic' situation because he was invited by this group to come fight, single-handedly bearing the heavy task of opposing the Wu Clan's main force.

If afterward, this bunch that besieged and killed Emperor Donghuang cannot produce a result satisfactory to him, letting him suffer the spray for nothing……

Good.

Scheduled in the work diary, one day we will surely wait for the opportunity!

Hongjun's gaze is indifferent and icy, cold to the bone; even a Daluo meeting his eyes would feel a shudder.

At this moment, the Daozu's killing intent is overflowing!

Nevertheless, even so, it cannot frighten those commanders of the Wu Clan.

"Hongjun!" Dijiang shouted, "Goumang has rushed out, indicating your conspiracy has been crushed!"

"Why don't you withdraw quickly? We could still consider leaving you some face!"

"Heh!" Hongjun sneered coldly; he, now fearless, no longer needed to worry about his resolve being shaken by any means, desireless and purposeless, naturally strong, like a wall standing a thousand ren high.

"No need for many words, each rely on your own ability!" Daozu flicked his horsetail whisk, and droplets of crystalline liquid flew out, their lethality not trivial, causing some great Wu to change expression, especially the female great Wu, who shifted from their earlier gleeful breach‑and‑breakout stance to becoming bound hand and foot.

Such a reversal vividly illustrates a principle——being shameless makes one invincible under heaven.

The very 'weapon' that the Wu Clan had just used against Hongjun, once Daozu accepted it calmly and immediately shifted his mindset, turning it into a weapon to 'wield' and 'attack'……Ah, that scene is truly too beautiful to imagine.

Breaking the lower limit, refreshing the bottom line……Alas, the moral value of this era's humanity will plummet even further!

Under the pressure of the great environment, when countless Daluo, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, employed this 'unconventional' tactical means, what remains……Even if there are the pure, how can they still turn the tide?

Not to speak of changing the age, merely not being assimilated is already good.

When purity is gradually stained and defiled, in the end it can never return to its former beauty.

This is a war with no victors!

When such a development appears, tracing back to the source, who should be blamed?

——Fuxi: 'I think this has nothing to do with me; it's all Leize's wild interpretation, you guys say, right?!'

At this very moment, Daozu changed his declining momentum, gaining an air of 'slaughtering in all directions'.

Fortunately, Nüwa can endure humiliation and bear burdens, fearless; Dijiang does not disdain his own things, remaining calm and composed……Only Zhujiuyin slightly changes color, but he can hide in time, his skill at avoiding calamity is top‑notch.

With these three top‑tier figures leading, the Wu Clan side can still maintain the situation, harboring chances for a counter‑attack breakthrough in defense.

Four Supreme Emperors of the Taiyi clash, their divine powers fully exerted, marvelous techniques appearing frequently; one side wants to flee, the other to block, a veritable dragon‑tiger battle.

As time goes on, Daozu becomes more relaxed and carefree, while the Wu Clan's three great ancestor witches grow increasingly anxious.

"Dragon Clan!"

Nüwa sensed something, her pupils suddenly slit like a snake's, killing intent surged, she gritted her teeth.

In contrast, Hongjun gave a satisfied nod and murmured softly.

"Not bad…… Cang's preparations are still quite ample."

He smiled leisurely, his expression suddenly shifted slightly, and he took a big step forward.

This step broke convention, transcended common sense, entered an obscure spacetime, a profound subtlety that ordinary Great Luo cannot perceive or comprehend, and is the ultimate intertwining and reflection of nothing and being.

Even as powerful as Nüwa, she could only grasp the general situation, unable to deeply discern or thoroughly investigate the specific details.

This is the gap of a single realm.

She only saw Hongjun step forward, while intercepting and blocking them, he also went to meet a person head-on—

Fuxi!

This Supreme Emperor figure was still active just now, and could even be said to have personally led a minor retreat in the trend of the Human Dao.

But unknowingly, he vanished, bearing the air of a chivalrous Dao: "having finished the deed, he rolls up his cloak and departs, hiding his merit and fame."

"Doing good deeds without leaving a name, please address me—Holy Emperor Majesty!"

And this Majesty, at this moment silently and soundlessly, is quietly withdrawing, seeking to leap beyond the conceptual bounds of Hongjun's blockade.

But…

Yet what Hongjun is most concerned about… has always been him!

Even just now, when he encountered "misfortune," it was the same!

It can be said that the vast majority of his energy is spent guarding against Xihuang, constantly preparing to face Fuxi.

Otherwise, Yuan Huang's breakthrough would encounter manifold additional obstacles.

Likewise, only in this way can Hongjun promptly discern Xihuang's movements, accurately intercept and delay.

"Where is August Emperor Majesty headed?"

In Nüwa's heavily blurred view, the Dao Ancestor smiled and spoke, only audible to him and Xihuang: "Outside now is not too safe… the Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation surrounds and slays Donghua, the Dragon Clan stirs the Vast Sea to intercept the Phoenix Ancestor, all are on the verge of going mad."

"Your Majesty's status is noble; how can you easily place yourself in danger?"

"Please stay, let the poor Dao have a friendly game with you, to avoid harming harmony."

At this moment, Hongjun assumed the most solemn posture.

The Jade Disc of Creation flashed behind him, the primordial source of the vast Honghuang surged, boundless mighty power surged, the Dao Ancestor quickly resembled a towering Pangu, standing here in full vigor!

The Great Sage Fuxi slightly moved, narrowed his eyes to size up Hongjun a few times, sensed his attitude and stance, pondered briefly, and actually halted his steps, not rashly advancing, merely letting out a soft sigh, attempting to reason.

"Hongjun…… are you a Dog? Changing faces faster than flipping a page." Xihuang sighed, "I once kindly discussed business with you, tried to get you insured…… and this is how you repay me?"

"Ha…… let's not mix one matter with another." Hongjun chuckled, "Speaking only of this past……"

"Then, regarding those past events, August Emperor, have you forgotten?" the Dao Ancestor lamented, patting his own leg with a mysterious meaning, "Why do I have a dragon-headed cane? How did this dragon-headed cane come about? Your Majesty won't be a noble forgetful, will you?"

"How could I forget?" Xihuang raised the corner of his mouth, "Back then, a certain Dao Essence was indeed youthful and vigorous."

"As a Dao Essence turned spirit, yet not repaying the creators' three thousand Great Luo, plotting rebellion, attempting to gather the Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, evolve the Heaven-Opening Axe, wield supreme mighty power, and horizontally suppress the world."

"Hey…… who doesn't like freedom?" Hongjun sighed, "I don't want to bear the fate of labor, is that wrong?"

"I feel it's not wrong…… I am also willing to strive for this."

"What then? What then!"

"Your Majesty, you outclassed me by a move, set a trap against me, broke one of my legs as a warning, making me lean on a cane for a period."

"During that time, I truly 'missed'……" Hongjun's eyes grew hazy, "Let me know, even skin can break a leg."

"But later, I walked out of that shadow, no longer overly concerned…… yet occasionally I still think of it."

"Endure a moment, the more I think the angrier; retreat a step, the more I think the more loss……"

"Can't I regain my standing?!"

The Dao Ancestor's tone gradually became resonant and forceful.

"So today……" he gazed at Xihuang, "Your Majesty, just stop thinking about stirring up any mischief……"

"Donghua is doomed to die!"

"What does that have to do with Donghua?" Fuxi the Great Sage shook his head, "You act in such a muddled way."

"Muddled?" Hongjun suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Am I muddled? I think I am not muddled."

"If August Emperor Majesty and Emperor Donghua have no extraordinary connection beyond reason, how could he be jumping about so joyfully now?"

"Restraining my power, guiding the Wu Clan's breakthrough…… when the breakthrough squad encountered trouble, it seems he also wants to roll up his sleeves and personally take the field." Hongjun's eyes shone bright, gazing through the Myriad Heavens spacetime, he saw the second battlefield beneath the Zhou Tian Star Dou battlefield in the Honghuang world——the Four Seas battlefield!

It is right here.

The Yuan Huang breakthrough squad suddenly encountered interception and ambush!

——The Dragon Clan, fully prepared!

Four Sea Dragon Kings.

Nine Sons of the Dragon Ancestor.

These Dragon Clan masters have long been waiting on the road.

They lead endless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, commanding the Dragon Clan's bloodline power spread throughout the Honghuang mountains and rivers, shining today with unprecedented brilliance and splendor!

Soldiers, dragon veins, Four Seas, streams, rivers, lakes…… a battle chart, forged unknown when, swallowing and exhaling the universe's water vapor mysteries, interpreting life's reproduction and evolution.

The Dao of Water.

The Dao of the Dragon.

【117) All shine here!

All are shining here!

A phantom of a colossal gate that could support the universe appears, circulating the enduring aura of creating and transforming fate, linking all beings even with the faintest dragon blood into one, as if becoming the root of heaven and earth.

This is the Mysterious Female Gate, also known as——the Dragon Gate!

When this Dragon Gate opens, the mighty power of era flow, creation and evolution surges, resonating with an ancient mighty race enduring to this day, condensing into an supreme trend, driven by the Four Kings and Nine Sons, jointly suppressing the Phoenix!
