Chapter 166: Pangu's Heart Devours Primordial Violet Qi
"Damn it! Damn it!" Gonggong could not help but curse in a low voice, his eyes filled with violence.
Just recalling that terrifying might from a moment ago, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
That pressure was truly too terrifying; let alone resisting, he could not even move a muscle.
Earlier, when Hongjun became a Saint, the overwhelming Saintly might was indeed powerful, but Gonggong never imagined that facing a Saint directly would reveal such an exaggerated gap.
In that instant, Gonggong actually had the illusion of an ant looking up at the firmament; it turned out that Nuwa had been restraining her aura ever since she appeared.
There is only one major realm gap between a Hunyuan Golden Immortal and a Saint, yet it is a chasm as wide as heaven and earth.
The Great Witches nearby, including Xingtian, all wore solemn expressions, their faces filled with disbelief.
All along, they knew Hongjun of Purple Heaven Palace was powerful, but they had not taken it too much to heart.
At this moment, everyone truly understood that kind of gap; Proving the Dao to Hunyuan is a qualitative change.
Houtu also had a solemn face, and her desire for the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm became even more urgent.
Tian Yuan, standing in the middle of the field, frowned slightly, a flash of annoyance crossing his eyes.
The sanctification of Jieyin and Zhunti was somewhat beyond his expectations, but Tian Yuan was not overly worried.
Just now, when Zhunti spoke of settling karma, he had been thinking of trying to mobilize the might of Mount Buzhou to see if he could contend with a Saint.
He did not expect that as soon as that fellow finished speaking, he would immediately rush toward Chaos.
Nuwa is a bona fide Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal and also a Humanity Saint; she is not comparable to the likes of Jieyin and Zhunti, who were built up by merit.
With the strength of the two of them, it is feared they would struggle to resist Nuwa's divine might.
Thinking this, Tian Yuan looked up toward the direction of Chaos.
As for the members of the Demon Court fleeing at high speed, Tian Yuan did not pay much attention to them.
With the Western Two Sages back in their positions, Tian Yuan did not believe Hongjun had no other backup plans.
The three thousand guests in Purple Heaven Palace all have immense karma with Hongjun; in the future, the main task of capturing the Demon Court will still fall upon him.
Regarding the sanctification of Jieyin and Zhunti, Tian Yuan did not feel much pressure.
After all, compared to the beginning, he now possesses many advantages.
The Wu Clan has almost all been captured, the Eastern Earth Vein will be thoroughly purified, and both Humanity and the Earthly Dao are reviving. Moreover, he is now only one step away from the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Thinking this, a flash of suspicion crossed Tian Yuan's eyes; in such a long time, why had he not seen the figure of Hongyun?
Nuwa became a Saint, and she achieved it as a Humanity Saint; it is impossible for Hongyun not to come to offer congratulations.
And he did not know if it was because heaven and earth had taken back those merits, but no Innate Sacred had come to offer congratulations.
Even the Sanqing, who are fellow Personal Disciples of Hongjun, had not appeared.
Outside the Primordial World, Earth Wind Water Fire surged, and Chaos lightning flickered.
Jieyin and Zhunti had solemn expressions, looking at Nuwa in the distance with astonishment.
Although they relied on a large amount of merit to break through, they also mastered complete Immortal Dao Laws.
Nuwa did not achieve sanctification through merit; Jieyin and Zhunti knew there might be a gap between them, but they did not expect it to be this large.
The two of them combined could not even resist Nuwa's blade, finding themselves in a situation of being completely beaten.
"Senior Brother, we relied on merit to sever the Three Corpses; what is before us is simply too exaggerated." Zhunti frowned, his gaze fixed tightly on the milky-white halo enveloping Nuwa.
When he first saw Nuwa, he felt that the aura on her body was somewhat strange.
Now that they had exchanged blows, this feeling became even more obvious.
He had an inexplicable illusion in his heart that Nuwa did not seem to have achieved sanctification simply by severing the Three Corpses.
"Return to the Primordial world!" On Jieyin's bitter face, annoyance was clearly visible.
Having suddenly become a Saint, he had been so joyful in his heart, yet he never knew the gap with Nuwa would be so large.
After speaking, without saying more, he transformed into a long rainbow and fled toward the Primordial World.
Zhunti kept a straight face and also did not utter a sound; they are Heavenly Dao Saints, and they have a greater advantage within the Primordial World.
"Why have the two Junior Brothers left?" Nuwa's expression was indifferent; she struck out with a strand of magic power from her palm, which transformed into a Golden Bridge, and her figure landed on the head of the bridge.
The golden Immortal bridge flashed by in an instant, rapidly descending toward Jieyin and Zhunti.
In such a short time, she had not had her fill, and Nuwa felt that the Western Two Sages still had means they had not yet displayed.
Boom! The golden light exploded; Jieyin and Zhunti fell out of the void, their faces full of anger.
The two looked at each other, and a dense will emerged around their bodies; suddenly, an inexplicable momentum rose up.
Nuwa, who followed them into the Primordial Starry Sky, looked surprised and muttered softly, "Heavenly Dao Will!"
As a Humanity Saint, she could clearly feel the fluctuations of the aura on the two of them.
The density of that will far exceeded that of the Humanity and Earthly Dao reviving in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.
The Heavenly Dao should be in the Primordial Starry Sky, resting upon Di Jun and Taiyi; the Western Two Sages had clearly taken a shortcut.
Without saying more, a faint Humanity Will gathered on Nuwa's body.
The three figures collided heavily once again.
On Mount Buzhou, Tian Yuan was surprised that Nuwa and the others had fought from Chaos to the Primordial Starry Sky. Unexpectedly, in a valley on the mountainside, a figure shot out and shouted loudly toward him.
"Dao Brother, you must come and see!"
It was Zhenyuanzi; the other party was currently looking flustered, his eyes full of anxiety.
Scanning behind Zhenyuanzi, Tian Yuan frowned slightly; that direction was the Fire Cloud Cave.
Tian Yuan, who had escaped forward, asked softly, "Zhenyuanzi, has something happened to Hongyun?"
He had not sensed Hongyun's aura on Mount Buzhou, so he guessed the other party might be inside the Fire Cloud Cave.
Although the Fire Cloud Cave is on Mount Buzhou, it is after all Hongyun's Daoist temple, so Tian Yuan naturally would not investigate it recklessly.
Looking at the situation now, it seemed that because Hongyun had not appeared just now, a mishap had occurred.
"Correct! You must go and see!" Zhenyuanzi nodded, his expression very urgent.
Saying this, he transformed into a long rainbow and fled toward Fire Cloud Cave.
The Demon Court was launching a crusade against Mount Buzhou, and upon hearing the commotion, Zhenyuanzi immediately rushed over.
Who would have thought he would happen to run into Hongyun, who immediately and excitedly led him into Fire Cloud Cave and even showed him an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Zhenyuanzi was just marveling at Hongyun's fortuitous encounter when he saw the other's expression change drastically, an inexplicable aura erupting from his body.
Tian Yuan's figure flashed; he had already arrived outside Fire Cloud Cave and dove straight in.
Houtu and the others, who had spotted the commotion from afar, also swept over rapidly.
Just as he entered the cave dwelling, Tian Yuan saw dazzling purple light in the distance, the brilliant radiance dyeing the surrounding rolling red mist with a layer of purple.
Looking toward it, one could see Hongyun sitting quietly amidst the Purple Light, an inexplicable aura emerging from his whole body, accompanied by bursts of laws being spewed out.
Seeing Tian Yuan appear, Hongyun hurriedly shouted, "The Hongmeng Purple Qi! The Hongmeng Purple Qi has ruptured, I can barely suppress it anymore!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, his energy leaked, and the Purple Light shrouding his body immediately grew much denser.
Having taken a hit from Donghuang Taiyi's Chaos Bell, Hongyun had intended to hide on Mount Buzhou, but upon seeing Zhenyuanzi arrive, he had happily led him into the cave dwelling. He had just been showing off the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud when the Hongmeng Purple Qi inside his body suddenly exploded.
It was immediately accompanied by rolling laws emerging, the density of which left even him incomparably astonished.
If he were to absorb those numerous laws, his cultivation would surely rise greatly. But Hongyun felt not the slightest joy, because a sense of palpitations was coming from the depths of his Primordial Spirit.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi truly had a problem; in the current situation, how could he dare to absorb these laws?
Yet no matter what methods he employed, those ruptured, pure laws just kept drilling into his limbs and bones.
Whether relying on the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud or the gathered Humanity Will, neither could force them out of his body.
He could only suppress them temporarily for now, and he could not hold on for long.
It was fortunate that Zhenyuanzi was by his side at the time; if he had been trapped in the cave alone, Hongyun did not know what would have happened in the end.
"Immortal Dao Law!" Tian Yuan only had to glance at it to recognize that aura.
The Demon-Dao Dispute could also be called the war between Immortals and Demons; Demon Ancestor Luohou represented the Demon Dao, while Hongjun was that Immortal Dao.
The Zhenyuanzi and others who arrived afterward heard this, their eyes all filled with shock.
Tian Yuan did not say much; a thick will of Mount Buzhou emerged, and instantly, everyone in the cave vanished.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi was, after all, a method of Hongjun's; with his current strength, he naturally could not suppress it, but entering the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space was different.
Of course, to eradicate it completely, one still had to rely on the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, Nuwa.
With a *swish*, the group instantly appeared in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.
Hongyun's entire person had already been submerged by the dense Purple Light, with only a human-shaped silhouette visible.
The sacred mountain standing proudly in the space trembled slightly, and instantly, a vast will emerged and wrapped toward Hongyun.
The Purple Light gradually contracted until it completely fled back into Hongyun's body.
Only, the face of the rugged-looking Hongyun had already turned purple-red.
Tian Yuan was just thinking about waiting for Nuwa to return to ask about the specific situation of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, when he heard a strong, powerful heartbeat sound from Mount Buzhou in the distance.
Instantly, Hongyun's figure trembled, and faint Purple Light escaped from him, quickly dissipating into the air.
Feeling the situation inside his body, Hongyun's expression was joyful.
And Tian Yuan, who had calmed his mind, was equally excited; he had somewhat underestimated the power of Mount Buzhou.
*Thump! * Another dull heartbeat sounded, and the Purple Light inside Hongyun's body faded once more.
But before the next vibration, a sharp cry rang out, and a streak of Purple Light drilled out, crazily fleeing toward the firmament—it was that Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Unfortunately, just as that Purple Light emerged, a powerful suction force came from Mount Buzhou.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi, which had only fled a hundred feet, instantly vanished into Mount Buzhou.
Under Tian Yuan's perception, he clearly saw the destination of the Hongmeng Purple Qi; it was actually absorbed by the Pangu Heart within the mountain body.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi that had fallen into the heart tried to resist, but in the blink of an eye, it was crushed to pieces and transformed into pure energy.
The heart, which had already been quite ruddy, became even more full, and the will of Mount Buzhou also grew much denser.
Tian Yuan wore a smile, his eyes filled with joy.
The Hongmeng Purple Qi was clearly a scheme of Hongjun's against the living beings of the Primordial World; he had not expected it to be absorbed by Mount Buzhou.
Feeling the relief in his body, Hongyun immediately asked loudly, "What about that Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
Earlier, he had still been thinking about studying this thing; he had been too careless.
Fortunately, with Tian Yuan's help, the Hongmeng Purple Qi had fled; Hongyun now felt only relief in his heart.
Tian Yuan did not hide it either, speaking softly, "It was swallowed by Mount Buzhou."
The Hongmeng Purple Qi was a method of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and not something they could participate in at the moment; this should be the best outcome.
Hearing this, Hongyun's expression relaxed, and he hurriedly cupped his hands, thanking him respectfully, "Many thanks, Brother Daoist! If not for you, Brother Daoist, I fear this tribulation would have been difficult for Hongyun to overcome!"
That Hongmeng Purple Qi clearly wanted to control him; his own affairs were a small matter, but if it affected the Humanity of the Primordial World, that would be a major issue.
Hongyun had no regrets about losing the Hongmeng Purple Qi, especially since it had been swallowed by Mount Buzhou.
Moreover, after that strange thing left, he felt inexplicably much more relaxed.
As Hongyun spoke, his gaze could not help but look toward Mount Buzhou, and his eyes were slightly startled.
It had not been long since he left here, but Mount Buzhou seemed to have become very different.
"Brother Daoist, Mount Buzhou..." Houtu, who was beside him, asked at the right moment.
The group of Zhenyuanzi beside them were also all looking at Mount Buzhou in wonder.
The might of Mount Buzhou was soaring to the heavens, no longer surrounded by Mysterious Yellow Qi, and now it could even easily swallow the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
"The Pangu Heart has completely merged with Mount Buzhou, hence its power has greatly increased," Tian Yuan explained with a smile, meeting their shocked gazes.
After merging with the Pangu Heart, the will of Mount Buzhou had greatly increased; Tian Yuan felt that even if a Heavenly Dao Saint entered this space, he would have the confidence to fight them.
The crowd listening hurriedly looked toward the summit one by one, but the Heavenly Pillar was so high its top could not be seen, and with golden light flowing upon it, they could not see it clearly.
But the rolling might coming toward them was something the few of them felt very clearly.
As Tian Yuan was speaking, his eyes brightened slightly, and he saw the wills converge before him as the figure of Nuwa appeared.
The scene before his eyes was somewhat beyond Tian Yuan's expectations; Nuwa, having achieved Proving the Dao to Hunyuan, still required his consent to enter this space.
The will of Mount Buzhou was truly even more extraordinary than he had imagined.
Upon appearing, Nuwa immediately looked toward Hongyun, her eyes filled with confusion: "Where is the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
While battling the Western Two Sages, she had suddenly sensed Tian Yuan and the others departing, which left Nuwa with doubts. After sensing for a moment, she realized an accident had occurred with the Hongmeng Purple Qi inside Hongyun.
It was clearly because she had achieved Proving the Dao to Hunyuan and gained insight into the purpose of the Hongmeng Purple Qi that the other party had erupted first.
Hongyun was the Humanity Lord, and Nuwa had no time to continue fighting with Jieyin and Zhunti; even though she had rushed over immediately, Hongyun had not met with any mishap.
"Thanks to Brother Daoist Tian Yuan, that Hongmeng Purple Qi has already been swallowed by Mount Buzhou," Hongyun hurriedly explained, and after speaking, he cupped his hands and said happily, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for Proving the Dao to Hunyuan."
Zhenyuanzi, who was beside him, also stepped forward to pay his respects: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for Proving the Dao to Hunyuan." As he spoke, his face was filled with envy.
Hearing that the Hongmeng Purple Qi had been swallowed by Mount Buzhou, Nuwa was slightly stunned, but she did not pay it much mind.
Meeting the gazes of Zhenyuanzi and the other, she smiled and replied, "Nuwa was merely lucky; both Fellow Daoists will naturally be able to reach this step one day."
Hongyun nodded with a look of longing, while Zhenyuanzi felt somewhat melancholy.
It was easy to say, but how could Proving the Dao to Hunyuan be that simple?
Tian Yuan, who was nearby, walked forward and asked softly, "Nuwa, what about your own Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
The anomaly of the Hongmeng Purple Qi within Hongyun was certainly related to Nuwa Proving the Dao to Hunyuan.
Hearing Tian Yuan's words, everyone in the area turned their attention toward her.
Nuwa's expression sank slightly, and she replied with a hint of annoyance, "That Hongmeng Purple Qi is entirely a means for Hongjun to control us."
Immediately, Nuwa did not hide anything and recounted the situation at the time of her breakthrough one by one.
