Chapter 549

their strength would also be bound by the Heavenly Dao.

Not to mention, as time passed, if you could not completely master the Heavenly Dao, then you would inevitably be eroded and assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

In this way, you would no longer be you.

You would just be the new Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, although this was a shortcut, it was also a dangerous path.

Of course, if one had to say, the cultivation speed of this path was still faster than taking it step by step.

Merging with a Heavenly Dao like that of the Primordial World was equivalent to having a complete Heavenly Dao path displayed before your eyes.

Whereas through self-cultivation, one had to make breakthroughs step by step.

It could be said that these were two paths, two directions.

In the past, Hongjun chose to merge with the Dao; now, Hongjun wanted to rely on self-cultivation.

With the existence of the Senior's grocery store, Hongjun indicated that there would be no shortage of genius treasures for his cultivation.

This also ignited the ambition in Hongjun's heart.

He wanted to cultivate independently.

"Come..." Watching the Heavenly Dao Edict transform into a beam of light and rush toward him, Hongjun did not dodge, laughed loudly, and flew toward the Heavenly Dao Edict.

In an instant.

The Heavenly Dao Edict transformed into a white light and merged into Hongjun's forehead.

Immediately, Hongjun felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart; it was the satisfaction of a complete true spirit.

It could be said that ever since merging with the Dao, Hongjun had not felt this way for a long time.

That was the state of a complete living being.

It was also a feeling he only had before merging with the Dao; now, re-experiencing that satisfaction of the true spirit made him slightly addicted to it.

However, although the Heavenly Dao Edict allowed Hongjun to recover to his complete state from the past, his connection with the Heavenly Dao was also completely severed.

This caused his various insights regarding the Heavenly Dao realm to constantly decline.

More importantly, it was the power possessed by his own body.

The strength possessed by Hongjun before merging with the Dao was only that of a top-tier Hunyuan Daluo powerhouse.

There was still a distance to the Heavenly Dao realm.

Now, the negative impact brought about by his breaking away from the Heavenly Dao was exactly this.

His own true spirit and physical body seemed to be returning to the state from before he merged with the Dao.

"Boom—"

At the same time, this Extreme Heaven also emitted the sound of heaven and earth's wrath.

Purple lightning bolts like giant dragons condensed in the void, forming patches of terrifying thunder seas.

That was the Hunyuan Zixiao Divine Thunder; even a Hunyuan Daluo powerhouse could be killed and annihilated by such a divine thunder, not to mention that there were dense patches of Zixiao Divine Thunder appearing here.

The density and terror of that kind of divine thunder were completely impossible to describe in words.

"Hongjun..."

Vaguely, heaven and earth emitted such a furious sound.

One could see that within those purple lightning bolts, seven-colored lightning bolts were slowly gestating; that was the power of Lei Jie that posed a threat even to Heavenly Dao powerhouses.

Hongjun cutting flesh made the Heavenly Dao feel as if it had lost a portion of its own power.

Even the Heavenly Dao, which only had instinct, became extremely furious.

It needed to destroy Hongjun to warn the world that the Heavenly Dao was the supreme existence.

"Heavenly Dao, I only took back a portion of what was mine; for you, there is no damage." Hongjun shook his head at this.

After merging with the Dao in the past, he became a part of the Heavenly Dao, which could be considered an alternative enhancement of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Now that he was taking back his true spirit from the past, it was just letting the Heavenly Dao return to how it was before.

It was just that the Heavenly Dao would not have this thought.

What was his was his.

The current Hongjun was just like cutting his flesh.

It was no wonder the Heavenly Dao would be so furious.

It wanted to kill Hongjun.

"Boom—"

The Heavenly Dao, which only had instinct, only emitted a rumbling sound, and the terrifying aura it contained did not weaken in the slightest.

Facing this situation, Hongjun also knew that wanting to reason with the Heavenly Dao was an impossible thing.
