Chapter 187: Yang Mei, Shichen, Lunhui, Hongchen, Descending upon Zixiao Palace!

Outside the Chaos Heaven, Zixiao Palace

As Taishang died under Tongtian's sword and his true spirit returned to the Heavenly Dao,

Hongjun also learned the news of Taishang's death.

At this moment, his heart was full of anger and disgust, and his expression was even gloomier to the extreme.

"Damn fool, why provoke Tongtian!"

"Clearly having ascended to the position of the Heavenly Dao Saint,"

"would it not have been better to leave safely, wait for his strength to stabilize and go further, and then unite with Yuanshi to take revenge!"

"Why must he seek death at this juncture!"

While shouting sternly and venting the hatred in his heart,

Hongjun's movements did not stop.

He directly extracted Taishang's true spirit from the Heavenly Dao,

and with the power of the Heavenly Dao origin, poured it into his true spirit,

causing him to rebuild his physical body and divine soul at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Taishang's behavior and brain were indeed disappointing to him, and he wished he could immediately replace him with someone else!

But within the current Honghuang Tian Di,

all those with ability had joined the Star Brilliance Divine Court, or had some involvement with Diti in some aspects.

Otherwise, if there were any candidates who could replace Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti,

he would absolutely replace the four without hesitation!

After all, although he did not want the Heavenly Dao Saints to exceed his control and possess the strength to rebel,

this did not mean that he wanted to turn the six Heavenly Dao Saints into existences like trash!

As candidates to shepherd the Honghuang Tian Di for him,

even if they didn't have the strength to rival the Hunyuan Da Luo of the same realm,

they should at least be about the same, right!

Instead of being trash like Taishang and the other four

who couldn't even beat a Hunyuan Golden Immortal!

Such an existence, for the upcoming decisive battle,

could not have any excessive influence.

Even if used as a one-time self-destruct cannon fodder,

it could not cause irreversible damage to Diti and the others!

"Houtu, Nüwa, Yuan Feng, Xihe, Changxi, Randen... just the combat power displayed on the surface"

"is already on par with the combat power I control now."

"If Diti attains the Hunyuan Dao, or if one of Yuan Feng and the others breaks through to the Hunyuan Da Luo realm,"

"the combat power will definitely lose balance."

"By then, even if I have reached the half-step Hunyuan Heavenly Dao realm, I will not be able to save this doomed game of certain defeat..."

The moment the thought arose,

a trace of fear finally emerged in Hongjun's heart.

Unknowingly, most of the combat power on his side had been abolished by Diti,

while the combat power of the Star Brilliance Divine Court was continuously developing and growing.

To this day, he had lost the intelligence inside the Star Brilliance Divine Court for nearly three epochs.

If it were other living beings, he might not care very much.

But the high-level combat power within the Star Brilliance Divine Court were all heaven-defying existences who hoped to ascend to the Hunyuan Da Luo by themselves.

In three epochs of time, perhaps someone had already quietly ascended to the Hunyuan Da Luo.

Under such circumstances, he simply couldn't estimate how many hidden trump cards Diti had in his hands.

"Could it be that I really have to follow Luo Hou's old path,"

"and drag the entire Honghuang Tian Di to be buried with me?"

"But I have not yet witnessed the peak of the Dao, and I don't want to die just like that!"

"How can I turn the tables,"

"and find a glimmer of hope from this dead game of certain defeat?"

Ruthlessness, confusion, and entanglement cycled repeatedly in Hongjun's eyes as he pondered how to break the situation.

"The unknown heaven and earth wandering within the chaotic nothingness,"

"it seems it is also a way out..."

The moment the thought arose, a loud shout interrupted his thinking.

"Hongjun, we are here, why don't you come and welcome us quickly."

Hearing this, Hongjun subconsciously scanned outside the Zixiao Palace,

and discovered that besides Yang Mei and Shichen, there were two others, and a trace of doubt suddenly rose in his heart.

However, Yang Mei and the other were his last reliance.

No matter who they brought with them, and no matter how bad their tone was,

as long as it didn't exceed his bottom line, let them be...

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, Fellow Daoist Shichen, welcome."

"I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Waving his hand to open the Zixiao Palace gate, Hongjun welcomed the four into the hall with a smile, transformed four futons, a table, and a set of tea sets.

He took the leaves of the top-grade innate spiritual root Enlightenment Tea Tree, used the Sanguang Divine Water as a spring, and brewed a pot of enlightenment spiritual tea for the few.

"Fellow Daoist Shichen, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, I wonder who these two sacred beings are?"

At this time, being polite had no meaning.

Using the most direct method to find out the specific intelligence

was the most favorable situation and choice for Hongjun!

If he couldn't figure out the identity and purpose of the two,

who knew what Yang Mei and the other had in mind.

What if the four came to kill him?

Then he had to be prepared to fight back!

Lest he die without knowing how!

"Hongjun, it has been so many epochs, and you have already forgotten our existence."

Before Shichen and the other could speak, the two beside them responded coldly with arrogance in their eyes.

"I am Hongchen, the master of the ten supreme laws: Fate."

"I am Lunhui, the master of the ten supreme laws: Reincarnation."

"Now, you should remember who we are, right?"

Hearing this, a trace of astonishment flashed in the bottom of Hongjun's eyes.

He didn't expect these two to still be alive!

Not long after heaven and earth were opened,

when the fierce beast race was ravaging Honghuang,

because Shen Ni's power was too strong,

a part of the demon god reincarnations, thinking they were no match for the other party,

chose to take risks, went far away to the chaotic nothingness, and searched for the opportunity to attain the Hunyuan Dao.

Because the demon god reincarnations who went far away to the chaotic nothingness at that time

had at most the cultivation of the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal,

going to the chaotic nothingness where even the Hunyuan Da Luo might fall was tantamount to seeking their own death!

The demon god reincarnations who stayed within Honghuang

did not look favorably on this behavior that was no different from suicide.

And because there was no news of these people for a long time,

he naturally regarded the demon god reincarnations who went far away to the chaotic nothingness as dead people.

He never thought of finding these people back to help.

"Welcome, two fellow Daoists, for returning safely."

"I was also confused for a moment and failed to recognize you."

"I am truly sorry."

Speaking polite words in his mouth, his heart was as clear as a mirror, knowing that these two were the guarantee found by Yang Mei and the other,

used to balance the relationship between them,

ensuring that he would not betray the two at a critical moment, or even kill them directly!

If it were in the past, he would absolutely be incomparably wary of this balanced model, and even try every possible way to alienate and kill Hongchen and the others.

So as to prevent the two of them from joining forces with Shichen and Yang Mei at the final moment to carry out a lethal strike against him, snatch the fruits of final victory, and occupy the entire Honghuang Tian Di!

Now, not only was he not afraid of the four joining forces,

but he was also looking forward to the four being able to recall more demon god reincarnations.

That way, not only would he not have to run away,

but he would also have the possibility of turning defeat into victory and occupying the Honghuang Tian Di again!
