Chapter 369

The Heavenly Dao cage that had been shrouding the Netherworld shattered completely in an instant.

Within the Underworld, one after another, domineering and peerless Great Dao auras surged forth, sweeping across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, powerful enough to rival the Heavenly Dao.

Clearly, at this moment, the Earthly Dao was already capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao could no longer suppress Daoist Houtu.

Lin Xia watched all of this, a look of joy appearing on his face.

It was done!

At this moment, with the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel condensed, the Earthly Dao could be considered truly awakened.

Originally, he had only used the Great Expansion Art to deduce and detect some clues.

But he had not expected the merit bestowed by the Great Dao to be so immense.

It had formed a complete order for the Earthly Dao so quickly.

However, Lin Xia was also clear in his heart that the true crisis was still to come.

Whether it was the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun.

Neither would allow the Earthly Dao to take shape.

After all, this would weaken the authority of the Heavenly Dao, making it unable to control and manipulate all living beings.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia could not help but cast his gaze upon Daoist Houtu.

With the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel condensed, he wondered if Daoist Houtu, this spokesperson for the Earthly Dao, could defeat Hongjun.

If she could repel Hongjun, the Underworld would inevitably move toward prosperity.

But if she could not hold out, perhaps it would return to its original state.

And at this moment, the Heavenly Dao suddenly emitted a tremendous roaring sound.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao was enraged.

The Heavenly Dao was supreme, its majesty not to be provoked.

It would not allow another order that could rival it to exist in this world; it wanted to suppress Daoist Houtu and shatter the Earthly Dao, which was only just beginning to take shape.

With no time to think, Hongjun moved his divine sense and descended into the Honghuang World.

His gaze looked down upon Daoist Houtu, his pressure overwhelming.

"Daoist Houtu, you act against the heavens, and the Heavenly Dao will not tolerate you."

"Today, this venerable one shall act in accordance with the will of heaven and imprison you in the Underworld forever."

As soon as the words fell, before Hongjun had even made a move, black clouds rolled and thunder surged above the nine heavens.

Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, boundless tribulation clouds gathered.

In less than a moment, they directly evolved into a massive Heavenly Dao cage.

The will of the Heavenly Dao had manifested directly.

This time was different from when Hongjun personally acted to seal Daoist Houtu; the Heavenly Dao was going to act directly, using the power of its order to suppress Daoist Houtu and the Earthly Dao.

It was to sever all connections between Daoist Houtu and the Honghuang World.

If successful, it would be able to crush the Earthly Dao order that had just been established.

Even Daoist Houtu's cultivation would no longer be able to improve in the slightest.

Today, Daoist Houtu had bypassed the Heavenly Dao and established a direct connection with the Great Dao, causing the Heavenly Dao to sense a great crisis.

Therefore, it had to use the power of order to imprison her and turn her completely into a puppet guarding the cycle of reincarnation.

Daoist Houtu's graceful figure stood in the void, mobilizing the immense power of the Earthly Dao to resist the Heavenly Dao's pressure, her momentum not the least bit weak.

For a time, all living beings in the Honghuang World were shocked.

"The Earthly Dao has truly awakened!"

"It has actually reached the point of being able to stand toe-to-toe with the Heavenly Dao."

"Daoist Houtu is truly formidable, actually able to resist the Heavenly Dao head-on."

"Could it be that Daoist Houtu is going to stand on equal footing with the Dao Ancestor?"

Countless Honghuang experts looked at Daoist Houtu's stunning figure and marveled.

The Three Pure Ones, Seeing Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nüwa looked toward the direction of the Blood Sea, their expressions filled with shock.

They could sense the immense weight and power of the Earthly Dao at this moment.

Facing the Heavenly Dao, it did not falter in the slightest.

If Daoist Houtu could truly withstand this, she might very well reach the level of the Dao Ancestor.

Thinking of this, all the Saints revealed expressions of envy.

Nüwa let out a cold snort.

Lin Xia knew of the opportunity to obtain Great Dao merit.

He didn't think of her, his sister, first, but instead let Daoist Houtu benefit.

This made her heart feel cold and desolate.

Seeing Jieyin and Zhunti were heartbroken, wanting to cry but having no tears.

That opportunity for Daoist Houtu to obtain Great Dao merit clearly belonged to their Western Sect.

Now it had been snatched away by Daoist Houtu just like that.

Sect Leader Tongtian let out a long sigh.

He knew well that this was the work of fate and could not be forced.

Daoist Houtu's opportunity was perhaps destined long ago, something they, as Heavenly Dao Saints, could not compare to.

It was just a matter of what level she could reach, which depended on whether Daoist Houtu could withstand the Heavenly Dao's assault.

Laozi and Yuanshi remained indifferent, watching coldly from the sidelines.

They hoped the Heavenly Dao could completely suppress Daoist Houtu.

In that way, they would inevitably get a share of that immense Earthly Dao fortune.

This great battle was the focus of the entire world.

Countless Honghuang experts watched intently.

Daoist Houtu stood proudly in the void, her expression calm, facing the Heavenly Dao cage coming from above the nine heavens.

"The Heavenly Dao actually still wants to set restrictions and imprison this palace."

"What wishful thinking."

Daoist Houtu's gaze was cold as she let out a scoff.

As soon as the words fell, Daoist Houtu waved her jade hand.

Instantly, across the boundless Honghuang earth, the immense power of the Earthly Dao rose into the sky like a giant dragon.

Hundreds of millions of brilliant rays of light rose and converged.

They charged toward the Heavenly Dao cage.

Boom!

A loud explosion shook the nine heavens and ten earths.

The void collapsed, and hundreds of millions of chaotic stars were destroyed.

The firmament seemed to sink into ruin, space rioted, and endless spacetime turbulence was stirred up.

Terrifying energy ripples surged out, causing the entire world to shake violently.

Wind, water, and fire seemed to have a tendency to repeat their cycle.

This was the collision between the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao.

It was terrifying and peerless, making all living beings feel a chill down their spines.

Subsequently, Hongjun's expression shook, his pupils constricted, and he discovered with horror:

The Heavenly Dao cage condensed by the will of the Heavenly Dao had actually developed dense cracks.

This caused his heart to shake uncontrollably.

As the Dao Ancestor, he had merged his body with the Dao.

He held the supreme authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Since ancient times, Hongjun had never experienced such intense emotional fluctuations.

The Heavenly Dao was supreme, and the cage condensed by the power of order went without saying.

Yet under Daoist Houtu's palm, it was actually on the verge of shattering.

It was evident that Daoist Houtu's strength had already exceeded his expectations.

Just as Hongjun was pondering in his heart.
