Chapter 561

"Boom—"

Hongjun's slightly threatening words caused the Heavenly Dao to erupt in fury once again.

A terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao raged across this slightly shattered Extreme Heaven, and that massive Eye of the Heavenly Dao appeared before everyone's eyes once more.

However, this time, the Heavenly Dao did not strike directly at Hongjun as it had just moments ago.

Or rather, the Heavenly Dao also understood that taking down Hongjun would not be an easy task.

"Hongjun, I will give you a chance." The voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded throughout this heaven and earth, "If you leave the Primordial World now, then what you have done to me will end here."

"Is that so?" Hongjun smiled faintly.

For Hongjun, leaving the Primordial World was the best and most direct way to avoid the tribulation of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao.

But Hongjun would not make such a choice; if he had truly wanted to leave the Primordial World, he would have left long ago, so why would he have fought the Heavenly Dao to the death just now?

Since the Senior's grocery store remained in the Primordial World, Hongjun indicated that he also needed to stay in the Primordial World.

Upon discovering that the Heavenly Dao had undergone a certain mutation, Hongjun had already formed certain ideas in his heart.

"What if I don't leave?" The aura on Hongjun's body appeared extremely terrifying.

"Not leave?"

"Hongjun, do you really think you can contend with me now?"

"As for my strength, I believe you, who have merged with the Dao, understand it very well."

"Although your current strength is not bad, it is impossible for you to defeat me..."

At first, the voice of the Heavenly Dao was somewhat intermittent, but it became increasingly complete as it continued.

"I certainly understand that." Hongjun smiled, "But Heavenly Dao, you must understand that if you and I continue to fight, even if you could truly kill me, it would likely cause immense damage to yourself."

"And such damage is irreversible; by then, let alone advancing further, as time passes, the Primordial World might even fall into an eternal twilight."

Let alone the Primordial World, even the entire Chaos World would fall into absolute annihilation after a certain period of time.

It is just that this period of time would be extremely long.

Countless Chaos Demon Gods are born and die, and they likely wouldn't even live to see the annihilation of the Chaos World.

At least.

Currently, the Chaos World outside the Primordial World has not fallen into self-annihilation; otherwise, the Primordial World could not exist independently.

To a certain extent, the Primordial World is also situated within the Chaos World.

But at the very least, what Hongjun said was correct.

Especially for the Heavenly Dao, which now possessed a modicum of wisdom, it understood this point even more.

It could be said.

At this moment, Hongjun was making a naked threat.

If the Heavenly Dao could easily kill Hongjun, then Hongjun's threat just now would have been ineffective and non-existent.

But as it happened, the contest with Hongjun just now made the Heavenly Dao realize that it was impossible to easily finish off Hongjun.

Moreover, judging by the increasingly astonishing aura Hongjun was displaying at this moment.

Perhaps that was not Hongjun's true full strength just now.

"Hongjun, you are threatening me." The Heavenly Dao said coldly.

Perhaps because it had only just gained wisdom, the Heavenly Dao did not have much of a reaction to such a threat.

For the current Heavenly Dao, it considered the pros and cons more.

What kind of choice would be good for it.

If it were to tear off the mask with Hongjun, then a fierce battle would still take place between the two.

Perhaps it could win, but as Hongjun said, for the Heavenly Dao itself, this would inevitably result in a massive, heavy blow.

Having reached the level of him and Hongjun, recovering from a heavy blow is not so easy.

The Primordial World also possesses no heaven-defying treasures that could allow a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo powerhouse to recover.

But if it did not tear off the mask with Hongjun, then it would have to allow what Hongjun said just now and let Hongjun remain in this world.

What consequences would there be if Hongjun remained in the Primordial World?

It seemed there were no consequences.

Even if Hongjun did something to the living beings of the Primordial World, it would mean nothing to the Heavenly Dao.

Because the foundation of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao is not just those living beings; those living beings can only be said to occupy a very small portion.

Therefore...

"Hongjun, I hope you will not regret your choice." The Eye of the Heavenly Dao stared deeply at Hongjun and finally left these words behind.

With a "Bang..." sound.

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao transformed into fragments carrying divine light and slowly disappeared from sight.

The dense seven-colored divine lightning and the Zixiao World-Extinguishing Divine Lightning that had surrounded the area also quickly vanished into the Extreme Heaven.

Of course.

The battle between Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao had caused devastating destruction to the Extreme Heaven, which still remained and had not recovered.

"It succeeded..." Watching the disappearing Eye of the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun's eyes carried a trace of joy.

He had not expected that with such a threat, the Heavenly Dao would actually directly give up on fighting him.

In reality.

If the Heavenly Dao had not undergone this mutation, Hongjun had intended to fight the Heavenly Dao with all his might, making the Heavenly Dao instinctively understand that fighting him to the death would bring no benefits.

In that case, after the battle reached a certain point, the Heavenly Dao might have given up.

Because the damage to the Heavenly Dao would also be very great.

This was Hongjun's original plan.

Anyway, as long as he didn't die, he, Hongjun, would still have a chance.

After all, Hongjun still had many exchange points left in his hands, which could all be used to exchange for good things from the Senior to recover from his wounds.

So even if it exhausted the Heavenly Dao's origin, Hongjun indicated it would be nothing.

But the Heavenly Dao could not be like that.

With the Heart of the Heavenly Dao and the Chaos Immortal Scripture that Hongjun possessed, unleashing everything was enough to eventually leave the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao in a broken state.

In that situation.

Even if it could truly kill Hongjun, the time until the Heavenly Dao itself collapsed would really just be a matter of time, and this matter of time would be very short.

If the Heavenly Dao, which only had instinct, faced such a situation.

According to Hongjun's guess, it should also give up on trying to kill him.

So at that time, even if Hongjun only had one breath left, he should be able to successfully pass the tribulation and remain in the Primordial World.

That's right, the previous Hongjun had long since held the worst-case scenario in mind.

That was the result of him fighting the Heavenly Dao and ending up with only one breath left.

But now.

Because the Heavenly Dao mutated and gave birth to a certain level of wisdom, this allowed the Heavenly Dao to have the idea of considering pros and cons, rather than just instinct.

Therefore, this battle between the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun thus came to a strange end.
