Chapter 371

"Acting against the heavens will surely bring heavenly condemnation."

Hongjun's gaze was stern, carrying vast pressure.

His words were like a judgment.

Hearing this, Houtu could not help but smile with contempt.

"Haha."

"Heavenly condemnation?"

"That only applies to living beings who submit to the Heavenly Dao."

"From today on, this palace controls the Earthly Dao and transcends the Heavenly Dao."

"Even if I act against the heavens, what can the Heavenly Dao do?"

Her voice was soft, yet it radiated a great majesty.

It was unquestionable.

It was awe-inspiring.

Her domineering momentum was even more shocking to the heart.

Acting against the heavens and ignoring the Heavenly Dao.

To all living beings, this was an unimaginable thing.

After all, all living beings in the world, from the moment of birth, submitted to the Heavenly Dao, and everything had to obey heaven's will.

Stepping into the realm of cultivation also required comprehending the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

In their hearts, the Heavenly Dao was supreme and could not be defied.

But now, Houtu actually dared to ignore the Heavenly Dao.

They were even more unable to understand what kind of realm Houtu meant by transcending the Heavenly Dao.

Lin Xia looked at Houtu in the void with a smile on his face.

He knew in his heart that Houtu had every reason to say this now.

Because she had already condensed the Earthly Dao Divine Wheel.

Now that the Earthly Dao had been nourished by the Great Dao merit, its fortune had surged.

It had reached the point of being able to stand toe-to-toe with the Heavenly Dao.

Houtu, as the controller of the Earthly Dao.

In terms of status, she was not inferior to Hongjun in the slightest.

Even on the earth, Houtu possessed greater authority than Hongjun.

With a single thought, she could mobilize the infinite power of the earth.

And previously, Houtu had shattered the Heavenly Dao cage with a casual strike.

This gave Lin Xia great confidence in her.

After all, strictly speaking, Houtu was even slightly stronger than Hongjun.

Hongjun was merged with the Heavenly Dao and was its spokesperson.

Every move he made had to take the will of the Heavenly Dao into account.

Although he could mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao, he also had to submit to it.

It was both an opportunity and a shackle.

But Houtu was different.

She was the founder of the Earthly Dao herself; in a sense, she was the master of the Earthly Dao.

Therefore, Hongjun could only mobilize a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power.

While Houtu controlled the entirety of the Earthly Dao's power.

There was no need to say who was superior.

Seeing Houtu so formidable, Hongjun's expression was ugly.

"So, you are determined to act against the heavens."

His words were bone-chillingly cold, carrying a full sense of threat.

"That's right, from today on, the Earthly Dao and the Heavenly Dao stand side by side."

"No one can curb the rise of the Earthly Dao."

"If you want to intervene, then let us fight."

Houtu's tone was stern, without the slightest concession.

Many Honghuang experts were shocked.

"She actually dares to provoke the Dao Ancestor?"

"Could it be that the Earthly Dao is truly going to rise today?"

"Fellow Daoist Houtu is being a bit too reckless."

Sect Leader Tongtian sighed.

Laozi's expression was unreadable as he watched coldly.

"Overestimating one's own strength!"

Yuanshi Tianzun sneered secretly, his words filled with mockery.

In his view, the Heavenly Dao had existed for ancient ages.

While the Earthly Dao had only just been born and was still very weak by comparison.

Hongjun was the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao.

Houtu was so ignorant of the gravity of the situation that she would surely be defeated today.

Jieyin and Zhunti also believed that Houtu had no chance of winning.

However, they were very happy to see Houtu suppressed.

In that way, the fruit positions of Great Emperor Fengdu, the Five Ghost Emperors, and the Ten Yama Kings.

Would be within reach.

Without Houtu blocking the way, even the great merit of converting the wronged souls of the Blood Sea.

Could be taken over by the Western Sect, which was truly a wonderful thing.

Nüwa sighed softly; she knew in her heart that Houtu had no other choice but to do this.
