Chapter 643

Clearly, Seeing Hongjun seemed to have a target in mind from the very beginning, and he did not pause in the slightest.

Lin Xia's spiritual sense spread out, and he soon had a reaction as well.

Deep in the boundless chaotic void, there was a wisp of a Chaos Demon God's aura; Seeing Hongjun must have come for this.

However, Lin Xia was not in a hurry and followed Seeing Hongjun from a distance.

During this process, Lin Xia also employed the Great Expansion Art, his figure seemingly turning into nothingness, merging with the void, and his aura was completely concealed.

Therefore, Seeing Hongjun did not notice anything at all.

Soon, Seeing Hongjun's figure gradually slowed down, finally stopping and landing on a star permeated with chaotic baleful energy.

This place was far from the Honghuang world, full of emptiness and dead silence, without a trace of life.

On the star, it was filled with dense chaotic baleful energy, and the space was incredibly stable; although it could not compare to the Honghuang world, it far exceeded an ordinary Great Thousand World.

Lin Xia watched from afar, his gaze falling upon an ancient sacred mountain on the star, and he could not help but frown.

"There is actually a damaged chaotic grand array!"

This chaotic grand array was severely damaged; in terms of power, it probably did not even have one ten-millionth of a complete array.

But after all, it was of the chaotic grade, and even after passing through eternal ages, it still possessed terrifying power.

Even a powerhouse at the Quasi-Saint level would find it difficult to discover the existence of this array if they did not observe it carefully.

Afterwards, under Lin Xia's gaze, Seeing Hongjun pinched out various profound hand seals.

As the hand seals continuously emerged, the space for a million miles around this place suddenly began to change.

Before long, a portal suddenly split open within the chaotic grand array, revealing itself before Seeing Hongjun.

And within the grand array, there was a figure sitting cross-legged, with the power of yin and yang circulating around their body, emitting a majestic pressure.

Ancestor Yin Yang?

Lin Xia was somewhat surprised.

Although he had never met Ancestor Yin Yang, he could judge the other party's identity based solely on the unique Dao rhyme and aura on them.

Ancestor Yin Yang was one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and like Seeing Hongjun, was a powerhouse who survived the Great Kalpa of the Opening of the Heavens.

During the ancient Dao-Demon struggle, Seeing Hongjun had once united with him, Immortal Yang Mei, Ancestor Five Elements, Ancestor Ancestor Qiankun, and others to slay the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou.

However, after Luo Hou fell, he and Yang Mei and the others disappeared within the Honghuang world.

Lin Xia had originally thought that this Ancestor Yin Yang had already perished, but he did not expect the other party to still exist in the world.

And just as Lin Xia was pondering, Seeing Hongjun had already arrived before Ancestor Yin Yang and smiled lightly:

"Daoist Yin Yang, long time no see! I hope you have been well!"

Ancestor Yin Yang was startled when he saw Seeing Hongjun appear suddenly, but on the surface, he maintained a calm appearance.

"Isn't this Daoist Seeing Hongjun? What a coincidence; I have hidden myself so secretly, yet I still managed to run into you."

Lin Xia chuckled inwardly; this yin-and-yang-mocking manner was truly worthy of Ancestor Yin Yang.

It was just that this Ancestor Yin Yang was still at the cultivation base of a Vast Hunyuan Jin Xian, and to dare to mock him so when the gap in strength was so vast.

It seemed the other party held a deep grudge against Seeing Hongjun.

Yet, facing the mockery, Seeing Hongjun did not get angry in the slightest.

Seeing this, Ancestor Yin Yang sighed and said with disappointment:

"I haven't congratulated Daoist Seeing Hongjun yet! You truly have great fortune."

"Endless ages have passed, and you, Daoist Seeing Hongjun, have already merged with the Heavenly Dao, becoming the Dao Ancestor revered by countless living beings, while I am still spinning around at the Vast Hunyuan Jin Xian realm."

Hearing this, Seeing Hongjun smiled faintly:

"With your talent, Daoist, proving the Dao of Vast Hunyuan Daluo is only a matter of time. Actually, I am also very curious why, after so many years, your cultivation base has basically not changed much?"

When they were dealing with Luo Hou together, Ancestor Yin Yang's cultivation base was already at the late stage of the Vast Hunyuan Jin Xian realm.

And now, after many Kalpas have passed, Ancestor Yin Yang has only reached the peak of the Vast Hunyuan Jin Xian realm.

He had only broken through one minor realm.

This progress was too small.

Even at the Vast Hunyuan realm, every step of breakthrough is extremely difficult.

But with Ancestor Yin Yang's natural talent, it should not have come to this.

Lin Xia was also somewhat curious.

Moreover, he keenly perceived that the aura on Ancestor Yin Yang was somewhat unstable, clearly having suffered heavy injuries not long ago.

Ancestor Yin Yang was, after all, a former Chaos Demon God; what kind of existence in this chaotic starry sky could actually injure him so heavily?

Hearing Seeing Hongjun's words, Ancestor Yin Yang gave a bitter smile.

"Isn't it because of the ancient battle?"

"In order to slay Luo Hou, I chose to self-destruct."

"That self-destruction not only completely destroyed my physical body, but even my origin suffered significant damage, with only a wisp of a remnant thought escaping."

"I came to the chaotic void and spent hundreds of millions of years to completely recover my origin and injuries, restoring my original cultivation realm."

"However, because of the influence of the Heart Demon Tribulation, it is very difficult to take another step forward, let alone prove the Vast Hunyuan Dao."

Heart Demon Tribulation?

Lin Xia was taken aback and looked toward Ancestor Yin Yang's Primordial Spirit, only to see clusters of black energy densely covering his sea of consciousness.

Deep-rooted and difficult to remove, it seemed as if it had grown right there.

It had already merged with his Primordial Spirit.

Lin Xia employed the Great Expansion Art, performed a brief deduction, and understood instantly.

It turned out that after Luo Hou was defeated, he swore an oath to the Great Dao and established the Demon Dao.

Honghuang living beings must experience the Heart Demon Tribulation when they cultivate to a certain level; once they pass it, their state of mind will improve and their cultivation will soar.

If they cannot pass it, they will be devoured by their heart demons and perish.

The Great Dao sensed this, and suddenly, infinite tribulation energy descended.

After Ancestor Yin Yang self-destructed, only a wisp of a remnant thought escaped, and facing the vast tribulation energy, he happened to bear the brunt of it.

Caught off guard, the remnant thought was eroded by the tribulation energy.

In his heavily injured state at the time, he was powerless to drive out the tribulation energy, and later, as he reshaped his Primordial Spirit and physical body, it was already too late to remove it; the tribulation energy had completely merged with his Primordial Spirit.

Therefore, every time Ancestor Yin Yang wanted to break through, the Heart Demon Tribulation he faced was ten million times more terrifying than that of other Honghuang living beings.

Seeing Ancestor Yin Yang in such a miserable state, Seeing Hongjun seemed to have a pang of conscience and said with reluctance:

"Alas! It was I who invited you, Daoist, to help fight Luo Hou, which is why you suffered this calamity."

"Come to think of it, I also have a responsibility."
