Chapter 454: The Human World Cannon is about to fire, why are you panicking, Master Ancestor?

Obviously, Hongjun would never allow a teenage child to become the Lord of the Three Realms.

Yet Tang An showed no signs of yielding, leaving absolutely no room for compromise or negotiation.

"Are you forcing Me to erase you with My own hands?"

"You want to kill me, and you say it's me forcing you? Fine, then I, Tang An, will force you today."

As she spoke, Tang An summoned a magic treasure about the height of a person, shaped like a cannonball. The treasure was golden throughout, wreathed in a thick, red murderous aura.

The warhead contained the innate sword Qi of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade. The shell itself was forged from the Seven-Treasure Tree and countless acquired magic treasures, making it incomparably sturdy.

Most importantly, the part that locked onto targets was forged from the Six-Pure Bamboo.

This meant that even a Saint, once locked on, could not escape. Furthermore, upon being locked on, they would instantly lose their six senses and the possibility of fleeing to the Outer Domain, leaving them only able to defend passively.

Even if a Saint or Ancestral Demon were powerful enough to have a magic treasure capable of breaking the Six-Pure Bamboo, by the time they spent the effort, Tang An's attack would already be smashing into their face.

"Nezha, come here."

Suddenly called, Nezha was stunned for a moment, but he teleported to Tang An's side.

Tang An raised her hand, and the magic treasure automatically rose into the air, revealing a small tail—something like a fuse—in front of the two of them.

"Lend me a fire."

"Huh? Oh." Nezha didn't understand, but he still extended his index and middle fingers, igniting a wisp of flame upon them.

"We are dealing with the Heavenly Dao; switch to the Six Ding Divine Fire."

"Mm." Nezha casually switched the flame, replacing the Samadhi True Fire on his hand with the Six Ding Divine Fire.

Tang An gripped Nezha's wrist and pulled his hand toward the treasure's fuse.

"Master Ancestor, shall we do it? You had better be sure. Once I light this fire, there's no stopping it."

During the time she was preparing, why didn't Hongjun make a move?

Because Hongjun was also unsure of what kind of destructive power Tang An's magic treasure could actually unleash.

If Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun had appeared right now, it would mean this treasure wasn't powerful enough to threaten the Heavenly Dao. That was why the Two Sages would need to step in to ensure Tang An's safety.

But since the two of them had yet to show themselves, could it be that they truly believed Tang An's magic treasure could damage the Heavenly Dao?

"I am the Heavenly Dao; how could I be coerced by you?"

"Fine, then you're in for a real treat." Tang An didn't waste words; she directly formed seals with both hands, pouring all her Dharma Power into the magic treasure.

During this time, Hongjun's expression changed again and again.

Originally, he had wanted to see just how much power Tang An's magic treasure could exert, and whether it could truly threaten a Saint or the Heavenly Dao.

But as the treasure charged further, the terrifying pressure caused dense, tiny black dots of space collapse to form at the tip of the treasure.

If that strike were truly unleashed, I fear...

"Human World Cannon, level one preparation."

Tang An's lips turned pale, her internal Dharma Power completely drained.

Hongjun immediately sensed that the terrifying pressure, which truly made him feel wary, had locked onto him.

"Human World Cannon, level two preparation."

Tang An held Nezha's wrist and warned Hongjun, "I'm really going to light it now."

Panic flickered in Hongjun's heart; even he had no confidence that he could escape unscathed from this strike.

And once the supreme Heavenly Dao was discovered to be something that could be injured by human effort, its fate would surely be to be divided and devoured, pulled down from its supreme altar.

"Wait." He finally compromised.

He dared not gamble, because Tang An was more reckless than him and less afraid of losing than him.

Watching Nezha's hand about to ignite the fuse, Tang An took a sharp breath.

"Ptooey, ptooey ptooey, ptooey ptooey ptooey!"

Nezha's originally bright and cheerful face froze, covered in black lines.

He had just been happy that Tang An could still seek his help in such a critical situation; what great trust and reliance that was.

But what did she do the next second? She spat on his hand????

"Oops, spat on the wrong place."

Tang An shook his hand away and switched to spitting on the fuse instead.

But seeing that the fuse wouldn't go out, Tang An panicked, Hongjun panicked, and Taishang Laojun, who had been secretly observing the scene, also panicked.

"It's over, it's over, it's over."

Tang An clutched her head; she'd played too big, and now it was turning real.

"Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle, come quickly!" She stacked restrictions and added Law Power, using both methods to slow the burning speed of the fuse.

Hongjun moved his position silently, but no matter how he shifted, the lock on him never vanished; it was clearly aimed right at him.

Taishang Laojun appeared and immediately tore through and froze space, causing the fuse to stop burning.

But!

What was this magic treasure? It was a top-tier acquired Great Killing Weapon!

Even with Space Law stacked, constant seals, and the cutting and freezing of space, it all only served to delay the fuse's burning speed.

"Ahhh!!!"

Tang An covered her little face, her hair standing on end.

Hongjun was also visibly panicked; he had only wanted to suppress Yang Chan today, so how did he end up getting himself involved?

"Extinguish the fire!" The Heavenly Dao, who had always been calm and unruffled, rarely showed such an urgent side.

As expected, one only gets anxious when the fire is burning on oneself.

"Extinguish, extinguish, extinguish."

Tang An blew on it and spat on it, but why did it feel like the more she did, the faster the fuse burned?

Seeing that a small cannonball formed of Dharma Power had already condensed at the tip of the magical artifact's warhead, Hongjun was about to bristle with rage.

Because he sensed that the small warhead, which appeared to have no fluctuations of Dharma Power, actually contained the strength to directly pierce the essence of the Heavenly Dao and cause massive explosive damage.

"Da-da-da..."

Seeing that she could not blow it out, Tang An directly adopted a physical method to extinguish the fire.

Stomping on it with her foot!

Her foot was almost smoking from the stomping before the fuse was finally extinguished.

"Whew~" Tang An wiped her sweat and let out a breath.

But just as she exhaled, hey, guess what, the fire that had just been extinguished was blown back to life again.

"Tang An!"

Hongjun suddenly felt as if Tang An were deliberately toying with him.

Seeing that Hongjun was about to take action to tear open space and lead the battle into the Outer Domain, Tang An silently pulled out a pair of Golden Dragon Scissors.

"Look, Master Ancestor, you're getting anxious again."

"I only just thought of a solution, what are you afraid of, right?"

Tang An cut the burning fuse and handed it toward Hongjun. "Old man, do you want to keep this as a souvenir?"

"Hmph!"

Clearly, Hongjun did not want to keep this thing to constantly remind himself.

And the fuse that had just been cut by Tang An had already grown back a segment, as if it had never been lit.

"Whew~" Tang An appeared to heave a long sigh of relief, "Then Master Ancestor, do you want my Golden Dragon Scissors?"

"Or do you also want to try and see if you can destroy this fuse?"

Her face held a smile, but what she said directly pierced through what Hongjun was thinking in his heart.

According to the past style of the Heavenly Dao, he would absolutely never allow a magical artifact that posed such a great threat to himself to exist.

Either he would find a way to destroy the magical artifact, or he must possess the means to keep this magical artifact in check or prevent it from being deployed.

"How about I light it again, and you try extinguishing the fire yourself?"

As Tang An said this, she grabbed Nezha's wrist again, "Light the fire."
