Chapter 197: Hongyun dies! Karma repaid!

The moment he swallowed the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill,

the terrifying medicinal power contained within it was released!

It was converted into power that could be easily absorbed by the person taking the medicine.

And this kind of absorption was similar to force-feeding.

Regardless of whether you could absorb it or had the ability to control it,

it would all be integrated into the body without reservation,

pulling the cultivation of the person taking the medicine wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

And by the time the medicinal power was completely absorbed,

it was only the beginning of the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill taking effect!

The strength improved by relying on the medicinal power

was just to allow the person taking the medicine to withstand the subsequent infusion of the power of heaven and earth!

Just like Hongyun now.

His cultivation, driven by the medicinal power, had already reached the realm of a half-step Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

But his momentum still did not stop soaring.

Under the crazy infusion of the power of heaven and earth,

Hongyun's strength instantly broke through the threshold between Da Luo and Hunyuan, and soared all the way to the limit of the middle stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!

The effect of the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill was considered completely over.

And this kind of forced improvement was not without side effects.

Even with the powerful medicinal power as a supporting barrier after the strength soared,

this did not mean that Hongyun could be unscrupulous.

The surge in strength caused by the pill actually had a time limit.

As the final trump card for desperate people,

the backup prepared by Diti for exploding potential,

once used, it was either fighting for one's life or running away.

So, without damaging the foundation,

the efficacy of the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill could only support for one stick of incense.

After one stick of incense, if everything had not ended,

either burn one's own origin and soul to maintain the soaring strength,

or surrender on the spot and wait for the other party's judgment!

As for why the surrounding living beings watched Hongyun swallow the pill but no one stepped forward to stop him,

and kill him in the cradle before his cultivation surge stopped?

Heh, do you think this is playing house?

The moment Hongyun swallowed the pill, the surge in his strength was already a foregone conclusion.

Even if everyone present attacked together,

with the endless vitality attached to the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill,

they could not cause devastating damage to him at all!

What's more, when the power of heaven and earth poured into his body and helped Hongyun's cultivation rise again,

it did not mean that he could not move or counterattack.

To put it bluntly, they were just a loose alliance that held a fluke mentality and gathered temporarily to seize treasures.

When they had the advantage, naturally anything was fine.

But once they fell into a disadvantage, not turning around and running away

was already very kind to the surrounding allies.

"The effect of the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill only lasts for one stick of incense."

"Even if Hongyun burns his soul and origin, it only delays his death time!"

"We don't need to confront him head-on; wait for the effect of the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill to dissipate, or for Hongyun to burn out his origin and soul!"

"The Purple Qi of Hongmeng will still belong to us!"

Those who could live to ascend to the Quasi-Saint realm

could not possibly be fools who didn't understand anything.

Looking at Hongyun's soaring strength, they quickly associated what kind of pill he had swallowed.

Shouting loudly to inform the surrounding innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races of the efficacy of the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill,

they quickly pulled away from Hongyun.

And sacrificed their respective magic treasures to guard against the other party's surprise attack.

With one person setting an example, the remaining innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races naturally followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, only Hongyun was left in the ten-thousand-mile area around Wuzhuang Temple.

And to prevent him from escaping,

a group of innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races also specially used their own means to seal the surrounding hundreds of millions of miles of heaven and earth,

ensuring that Hongyun could not escape their hunt!

"Heh, do you think that avoiding the battle and delaying time can stop me!"

"I dared to come and find you today,"

"so I won't let any of you leave!"

Hongyun scanned the surrounding crowd with cold eyes.

Without hesitation, he burned his own origin and soul,

letting his own cultivation rise to another level,

reaching the limit of the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!

Such an overlay meant that when the medicinal effect ended,

it would be the time for Hongyun to die and his soul to scatter!

But Hongyun didn't care about this.

Coming to Wuzhuang Temple to fight today,

he didn't intend to go back alive!

What he wanted to do was to clear all hidden dangers for Zhenyuanzi!

As long as this group of innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races who held a fluke mentality were all buried here,

no one would go and harass Zhenyuanzi again!

"Run, this is a lunatic!"

Looking at Hongyun, whose cultivation had risen again and clearly didn't intend to leave alive,

a group of innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races finally felt a little panic.

"He wants to drag us to..."

However, before the exclamation could fall,

Hongyun was like a tiger out of a cage.

He used the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd to spray boundless red sand, held the Blood Cloud Sword, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure transformed from his own body, and killed toward the first innate sacred being who spoke!

The Blood Cloud Sword slashed down, and the vitality of the physical body was instantly extinguished.

The boundless red sand followed closely, covering the soul and stirring the spiritual intelligence to pieces.

In just one breath, an innate sacred being at the early stage of the Quasi-Saint had completely fallen.

The true spirit merged into the heavens and earth and went to the underworld to report!

"Run!"

With a cry of alarm, many innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races instantly woke up like a dream.

They hurriedly fled in all directions!

However, Hongyun was like a ghost that followed like a shadow.

No matter what kind of escape method or escape magic treasure

these innate sacred beings and supreme beings of the ten thousand races used,

Hongyun could follow closely and catch up with them!

From taking the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill to killing all the invaders,

the whole process took a total of half a stick of incense!

"Cough, cough, after this time, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi should be able to cultivate quietly for a long time..."

Because Hongyun's soaring strength had exceeded the limit barrier built by the Origin-Returning Heaven and Earth Pill based on his own foundation,

after killing many invaders, he himself had reached the limit.

Like porcelain on the verge of shattering, his whole body was filled with cracking lines.

While coughing lightly, fragments of his internal organs kept pouring out of his mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, I'm leaving."

"Knowing you is the luck of my life."

"If our fate is not yet exhausted, then we will meet again in the next life!"

"..."

Whispering words of farewell,

in order not to let the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and the Blood Cloud Sword fall into the hands of villains,

Hongyun used his last strength to throw them toward the Star Treasure Pavilion where Zhenyuanzi was located,

letting the two recognize Zhenyuanzi as their master.

It could be considered as repaying the kindness of Zhenyuanzi giving him the Earth Book back then.

Although the Earth Book did not fall into his hands in the end,

he did not regret giving the Earth Book to the Bodhi Ancestor!

If it weren't for the other party's timely help,

they would have died without a burial place long ago!

This was an indisputable fact!

Therefore, no matter what the other party's purpose was,

kindness was kindness, and he would never have any sophistry or unwillingness!
