Chapter 1063: Hongjun Reappears

"The meaning is very simple: although you improved the array, the materials for setting it up are still mine."

Yin Qi said indifferently.

The Dharma Treasure produced by the Immortal Court, whether it is an Ordinary Spirit Artifact or a Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, possesses the advantages of technological products and can have backdoors left in them.

The Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure appeared to have been refined by Luo Hou, but through the backdoor, he could obtain the highest control.

As Yin Qi's mind stirred, countless array materials, especially the eighteen Post-Heaven Supreme Treasures that served as the main array bases, instantly severed their connection with the outside world, including Luo Hou's Primordial Spirit imprint.

With the array bases on strike, the Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array naturally collapsed.

Boom!

The Demon World shook once more, and winds rose and clouds surged.

The rune prison surrounding Yin Qi also collapsed with a roar, blooming like a super-sized firework; countless runes were blasted apart and scattered throughout the Demon World.

It looked truly beautiful.

But Luo Hou and the others felt only coldness in their hearts at this moment.

The Hunyuan Heaven-Sealing Array, which they regarded as their ultimate move, had actually collapsed just like that.

"No!"

Yuanshi Tianzun exclaimed in shock; his eyes widened, truly unable to accept it.

"Go!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not say another word and turned to flee.

From the fact that Di Qi had injured Luo Hou, who was holding the God-Slaying Spear, with just a flick of his finger earlier, Tongtian Jiaozhu knew that compared to ten thousand years ago, Di Qi's cultivation had greatly advanced again.

Even if he were to set up the Immortal Execution Sword Array, he estimated it would be destroyed instantly.

Tongtian Jiaozhu left decisively, and Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren were no slower, but how could Yin Qi let them have their way?

He had finally caught an opportunity to gather them and annihilate them all.

"Suppress!"

Yin Qi used Word Manifestation and coldly spat out the word.

Immediately, vast and endless power shattered the void and descended upon Luo Hou, Laozi, Yuanshi, Houtu, and the others.

"Dissolve into the Dao!"

Following that, Yin Qi once again unleashed his Innate Supernatural Power.

Instantly, Luo Hou, Laozi, and Yuanshi began to dissolve into the Dao, as if invisible flames were burning on their bodies.

"Di Qi, I curse you to a miserable death!"

"Di Qi, you beast!"

"As long as the Primordial World does not perish, we Saints will not die!"

Although they could not speak, intense mental fluctuations swept through the Demon World, and even the entire Primordial World, like a storm.

Although they could clearly feel themselves dissolving into the Dao, the five of them—Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti—felt only anger and hatred, not terror.

Because their Primordial Spirits were entrusted to the void; as long as the Primordial World did not perish, they, the Saints, would not die.

Using the Heavenly Dao to resurrect would at most damage some of their vitality.

Laozi and the others could be 'composed', but Luo Hou and Houtu could not, because one had achieved Sanctification through World Sanctification and the other through Proving Dao through Merit; neither had their Primordial Spirits entrusted to the void.

If they dissolved into the Dao, they would truly die.

Luo Hou was extremely unwilling.

Having been defeated by Hongjun in the past was one thing, but was he now to perish at the hands of a junior!

"Explode for this seat!"

In the emergency, Luo Hou's spirit fluctuated wildly, and he self-detonated the God-Slaying Spear.

The God-Slaying Spear was an Innate Supreme Treasure; after being detonated by Luo Hou, it was almost equivalent to a Saint self-detonating. The feeling was like thousands of suns exploding collectively, and endless light and energy instantly submerged the entire Demon World.

Rumble!

The Demon World, which had just condensed into form, disintegrated with a roar amidst the self-detonation of the God-Slaying Spear.

The five people—Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti—had not yet completely dissolved into the Dao when they were reduced to powder in the massive explosion, with only a point of True Spirit escaping and merging into the Heavenly Dao.

Yin Qi's expression changed slightly.

"As long as the Primordial World does not perish, Saints do not die"—this was merely the Saints' own wishful thinking.

With his current cultivation, he could completely cut off the Heavenly Dao's rescue of the various Saints and annihilate their True Spirits completely.

But he had not expected to be interrupted by Luo Hou's self-detonation of the God-Slaying Spear.

The Demon World was a Great World; once destroyed, the resulting terrifying energy shockwave would cause immense damage to the Primordial World, and who knew how many of the Primordial World's living beings would die.

Between pursuing the Saints and stabilizing the Primordial World, Yin Qi could only choose the latter.

"Drink!" Yin Qi shouted sharply.

Endless, vast magic power surged out, mixed with the mysterious and unfathomable Creation Law, instantly enveloping the entire Demon World.

Under the restoration of the Creation Law, the collapsing Demon World was rapidly recovering.

At the same time, the Destruction Law surged out, sinking into the depths of the Demon World and severing the connection between the Demon World and Luo Hou.

Regarding the latter, he was truly worried that Luo Hou would detonate the Demon World.

"Ah!"

Luo Hou, who had already escaped into the void, let out a shrill scream. Already heavily injured, it felt as if someone had slashed his Primordial Spirit with a blade, causing his face to turn pale with pain.

But what hurt even more was his heart.

With the connection to the Demon World severed, this meant he had fallen back from being a Peak Quasi-Saint.

After all, without being able to borrow the power of the Demon World, how could he still be a Saint?

"Di Qi, we are not finished!"

Not a single error, not a single missing word, all checked!

Luo Hou let out a heart-rending roar and plunged headlong into Chaos.

As for Houtu.

Under the power of the Dao-transformation and the self-detonation of the God-Slaying Spear, she was completely reduced to ashes and vanished into thin air.

Boom—!

Within the Honghuang, across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

In an instant, thunder cracked in clear skies everywhere, dark clouds rolled, gale winds raged, and blood rain fell from the sky.

An intensely thick emotion of sorrow permeated the entire Primordial World, silently affecting all cultivators below the Great Luo level; they felt an inexplicable sadness and, without realizing it, were already streaming with tears.

A Saint has fallen, and Heaven and Earth grieve together!

"How could this be? This poor Daoist is so sad, I cannot control myself at all!"

"Blood rain falling from the sky, all living beings grieving together—this is the omen of a Saint's fall. Heavens, a Saint has fallen."

"What exactly is going on? Demon Ancestor Luohou just became a Saint, and now a Saint has fallen; could it be that they were slain by the Dao Ancestor?"

The affairs of the Demon World had not yet spread out.

The Yin Shang army had been sent away by Yin Qi, and the Wu Clan had all hidden back inside Pangu Hall, so even with the fall of the Saints, the Honghuang did not know exactly who had fallen.

Within the Demon World, the secret of the Creation Law.

Under the restoration of Yin Qi's vast and endless magic power, the Demon World finally solidified once more, and he also remodeled the Demon World, clearing away all the residual will of the Chaos Demon Gods.

Without the influence of the Chaos Demon Gods' lingering thoughts, the beings born in the Demon World would no longer hate the beings of the Honghuang.

Not only that, Yin Qi also adjusted the position of the Demon World, causing the three Great Worlds—the Demon World, the Underworld, and the Immortal World—to stand in a tripod-like formation in terms of spatial dimensions, guarding the Primordial World.

It can be said that from this point on, the Primordial World is even more stable.

Even if the Saints were to go to war, it would not be easy to shake the foundations of the Primordial World.

A long time passed.

The destructive energy within the Demon World finally calmed down, but the land was devastated, with countless crisscrossing ravines stretching for billions of miles, dense and packed.

In reality, besides the Wu Clan, there were still many beings in the Demon World.

Although various factions had breached the Heavens Demon World back then, and the Demon Race and the Wu Clan had slaughtered countless members of the Demon race to collect their flesh and Primordial Spirits to resurrect Di Jun, Di Jiang, and the others.

But there were still many beings in the Heavens Demon World, such as various demonic beasts, or rather, Magic Beasts.

There were even quite a few surviving members of the Demon race.

Now, they were all dead or injured.

Yin Qi frowned, continuing to wield the Creation Law, shrouding the land of the Demon World.

The originally cracked earth was rapidly being repaired.

In the world that had been devastated, countless flowers, grasses, and trees sprouted from the ground, growing wildly.

Even the surviving beings recovered rapidly.

Soon, the Demon World, which had been like ruins, became lush and green; looking out, one could see nothing but primeval forests and various spiritual herbs and Immortal Seeds exhaling fragrance.

Yin Qi nodded slightly and withdrew the power of the Law.

At this moment, he suddenly looked up and saw Hongjun Daozu walking out from the void.
