Chapter 339: Hong Jun

“Snap!”

The bamboo staff pierced the void, faintly shimmering, striking the Order Demon God’s third eye.

This blow shattered the balance between order and chaos; the Demon God’s form and primordial spirit collapsed in a thunderous ruin.

“You are—!”

The Order Demon God, dead and reborn, stared at Hong Jun, his deep eyes flashing with sharp light.

“The Ancestor of Immortal Dao, Hong Jun!”

The bamboo staff struck again; the immortal sword intent tore rifts through the void, an incomparable divine might surging outward, shaking the Order River into constant tremors.

“Immortal Dao Hong Jun? Hahaha!”

The Order Demon God laughed aloud, raising his hand to sweep the bamboo staff aside with the Order Scroll.

Gazing at the Daoist before him, the Order Demon God asked: “Is this your choice?”

“Comrade of Balance!”

The final four words were spoken with heavy emphasis by the Order Demon God.

Balance?

Nüwa and Yuchen Daojun exchanged glances.

The Dao Ancestor Hong Jun is the Balance Demon God?!

Hong Jun cast a cool glance at the two, flicked his sleeve, and severed the connection between heaven and earth.

In an instant, Nüwa and Yuchen appeared within the Chaos.

Having dismissed the irrelevant ones, Hong Jun turned to the Order Demon God.

“Isn’t your dream to construct a perfect world of order?”

“I am now striving toward this goal, and I urgently need your help.”

Hong Jun gazed at the Order Demon God with sincere eyes.

“Construct a perfect world of order?” Seeing Hong Jun had ceased his attack, the Order Demon God paused and agreed to speak.

“What do you intend?”

“Construct the Heavenly Dao!”

Hong Jun cut straight to the point: “Construct the Heavenly Dao of Hong Huang!”

“The Hong Huang Heavenly Dao?” The Order Demon God looked up at the sky.

“Yes—the Hong Huang Heavenly Dao!”

Hong Jun said: “All under heaven, all things, follow laws and order. To achieve this goal, you must construct a Heavenly Dao to govern all.”

The Order Demon God smiled: “Speak your true intentions.”

Constructing a perfect world of order was his belief.

Now Hong Jun claimed this was also the Immortal Dao’s belief—the Order Demon God did not believe it for a moment.

“I speak nothing but truth—why won’t you believe me?” Hong Jun sighed.

“If you won’t speak truthfully, there is no chance for cooperation,” the Order Demon God gripped the scroll, ready to strike.

“Very well.”

Hong Jun held the bamboo staff, pointing toward the heavens: “In ancient times, Pan Gu held the round sky above his head and trod the square earth beneath his feet, giving birth to all things.”

“To construct the Heavenly Dao within the Hong Huang world is to control Pan Gu’s will.”

“And to control Pan Gu’s will is to stand invincible!”

“Truth,” the Order Demon God nodded, his expression turning thoughtful.

At this moment, Hong Jun asked: “Why did you descend to Hong Huang?”

“To fulfill my ideal,” the Order Demon God answered honestly.

“Through the hands of the Ferocious Beasts?”

“Through the hands of the Ferocious Beasts!”

Hong Jun smiled: “Will it succeed?”

“If your Immortal Dao does not interfere, it will succeed!” The Order Demon God was supremely confident.

The Immortal Dao had many powerful beings, and numerous old friends from the Chaos Era— their involvement greatly increased the difficulty of the Ferocious Beast Clan uniting Hong Huang.

“But you have already failed!”

Hong Jun pointed to the Chaos Demon Gods retreating continuously.

Especially the group led by the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

After Hong Jun blocked the Order Demon God, this supreme being, Shen Ni and his companions had been captured by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou for the third time.

“Don’t block me!”

The Order Demon God stood imposing, his eyes shooting beams like cold stars, his eyebrows as dark as ink, his breath stirring clouds of energy stretching a hundred thousand zhang high.

He gathered his spirit, preparing to charge into the Zhuxian Great Array.

Anyone could die—Shen Ni absolutely could not!

As long as Shen Ni lived, there was still hope!

“Comrade of Order, are you still so deluded?” Hong Jun rebuked sharply: “The Ferocious Beasts have already lost!”

“Shut your mouth!”

A thunderous roar echoed; his mighty body seemed to hold up the entire heavens and earth.

He unleashed a punch, as if shattering the chains of time and space.

Instantly, the void trembled violently like a calm lake struck by a boulder; ripples spread endlessly, as if ready to drag the entire world into this turmoil.

“Comrade, please calm down!”

Hong Jun pushed his Dao crown; the Auspicious Clouds extended, revealing his Three Corpses: Di Hong, Jun Tian, and Hong Yuan.

The four Daoists walked together, treading upon vast blossoms of the Great Dao, standing tall, manifesting the Four Great Boundaries of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.

Instantly, the forces of the Four Elements surged and converged across every corner of infinite space and time.

“Boom!!”

Space and time trembled; all rules and orders of past, present, and future quaked before the four Daoists.

Hong Jun said to the Order Demon God: “Comrade, the Ferocious Beasts have lost. If you wish to realize your ideal, you must change your allegiance.”

“Change my allegiance?” The Order Demon God gazed deeply at Hong Jun.

“We failed—can you succeed?”

“Of course!”

Hong Jun was confident: “If you assist me in constructing the Heavenly Dao, all is possible.”

The Order Demon God looked at Hong Jun, then at the Zhuxian Great Array beneath Mount Sumeru.

He declared: “I have only two demands.”

“Speak,” the four Daoists’ expressions softened, seeing the Order Demon God’s willingness to yield.

“First—Shen Ni must not die!”

“Impossible!” Hong Jun refused outright without hesitation.

“The Ferocious Beasts’ defeat is settled. After the Great Calamity, karmic reckoning will come—everyone may flee, but the Beast Emperor Shen Ni cannot.”

“Shen Ni must die!”

Hong Jun’s stance was firm.

The Order Demon God fell silent for a long while.

Finally, he shook his head: “Very well. Let his fate decide the outcome of this calamity.”

“What is your second demand?” Hong Jun asked.

The Order Demon God lifted his scroll: “I wish to see how strong you have become—having abandoned your Demon God body and embraced Pan Gu’s embrace!”

“We accept this demand!” The four Daoists spoke in unison.

“Kill!”

Crimson light filled the heavens, a chilling aura of slaughter, demonic flames roaring; billions of qi currents plummeted—leaking even a sliver of divine might could shatter the entire cosmos into dust.

Boundless clouds of qi surged from all directions, responding to the laws of the Great Dao.

The terrifying will of the Great Dao raged toward Hong Jun.

Where it passed, space was crushed into distortion, time itself twisted into chaos by this force.

“Merge!”

In infinite space and time, blossoms of the Great Dao bloomed.

Hong Jun and his Three Corpses united as one.

He raised his hand gently.

The staff rose.

The staff fell.

Order shattered completely.

The Demon God’s gaze dimmed.

He looked at the Daoist standing in the heavens, nodded slightly, and uttered two words as if in approval: “Good.”

Hong Jun bowed: “Comrade, please.”

“Please.”

The massive Demon God figure dissolved into countless specks of light.

Hong Jun took out the Zao Hua Jade Disc and gathered all the light of order.

The Order Demon God perished!

Order collapsed; the heavens wept blood.

The mighty beasts of the Beast Clan from all corners of heaven and earth, within and beyond Hong Huang, all felt a deep sorrow.

“We’ve lost! We’ve all lost!”

The Fierce Gods wailed pitifully; the Demon Gods suffered miserably.

Countless beast beasts howled to the heavens in grief.

They witnessed the fall of the Order Demon God, the failure of the Destruction Demon God, and the final path of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.

“Companions, retreat!” The Fate Demon God, knocked down by Fu Xi, rose again.

Facing the defeat of the Beast Clan, he felt no sorrow, no despair—only an eerie calm.

【Wise Companion, the rest is left to you. I hope you can lead everyone to a new way of living.】

【Hong Huang cannot be opposed. Pan Gu cannot be opposed.】【Remember! Remember!】

He silently chanted twice, then opened his arms and chose Dao Hua.

“Fate’s Guidance!”

The Fate Demon God sacrificed himself to guide all Beast Kings, Fierce Gods, and Demon Gods toward a direction.

Endless beams of light burst forth from Hong Huang, fleeing toward the myriad worlds and boundless spacetimes.

“Farewell, Companion!” The Wisdom Demon God reached out and caught a beam of light—it was the Fate Stone Tablet, upon which the Beast Clan’s fate had long been written: DEFEAT!

Knowing it was hopeless, countless Demon Gods still willingly gave themselves for it.

Why?

“The Dao stretches to heaven—all strive to cross!”

The Wisdom Demon God sighed faintly, using the Fate Stone Tablet as a shield, gripping her battle axe tightly, gathering the relics of the fallen Demon Gods, and slashing through the encirclement along the path of Fate’s Guidance.

“Where are you going?!”

The Ancient Kun Peng flapped both wings and gave chase, vanishing into the horizon in an instant.

“I’ll go help!” The Eastern Han Emperor raised his Pure Yang Sword and moved to pursue.

“Get the hell out of here!”

The Killing Sacred Sword slashed down, instantly engulfing the Eastern Han Emperor in a storm of blood and stench.

The Killing Demon God blocked the Eastern Han Emperor’s path.

And severed his lifeline.

“I…” The Eastern Han Emperor’s eyes held a look of profound release.

I knew it!

At the moment he was killed, the substitute doll given by Nv Wa activated.

“Thank goodness, Wind Companion is still reliable.” The Eastern Han Emperor narrowly escaped death, relieved beyond measure.

He unfurled the Mi Tian Map to shield himself, then charged once more into Chaos, pursuing the Wisdom Demon God.

“Not dead? Stop him!”

The many Demon Gods holding the rear all struck out.

“Evil, eternal sinking!”

“Plague, no light shall touch you!”

“Sin, all actions bring suffering!”

“Wickedness, withering through eternity!”

“Death, ten deaths, no life!”

Layer upon layer of Daoic slaughter surged like a flood, completely annihilating the Eastern Han Emperor.

The Immortal Dao masters, seeing this, rushed to rescue him.

“Eastern Han Companion, don’t die! Please, don’t die!”

“Companion, let’s go too!” 【Yin Lord】Jiu Feng gazed toward the direction the Wisdom Demon God had fled; she knew Fate and the others had prepared a backup plan.

“You go ahead.”

The War Lord raised his Nine-Ring Knife, cleaving through a sapphire-colored great cauldron, then spun and slammed his palm, sending it into the void.

“Puh~~”

A colossal divine turtle fell into the Eastern Sea.

“Kill!” The War Lord’s blood qi surged violently, his aura overwhelming and boundless.

A great blade churned the void, slashing and chopping, its supreme divine might crashing down like a tide.

“Puh!”

Another blood blossom bloomed—the patriarch of the Dragon Clan’s Void Whale lineage perished.

“How dare you!”

Several furious shouts rang out.

The War Lord looked up.

Shi Qi Lin, Yuan Feng, Bai Long, and Ying Long had all surrounded him.

“Companion, you go first—go now, or you won’t get away!”

The War Lord turned to Jiu Feng and smiled: “Wasn’t our wish to reach land?”

“Alas, the Sea of Suffering is boundless—I’ve passed the point of no return.”

“Take our seven people’s wish with you!”

The War Lord handed his divine weapon to Jiu Feng.

“If you get the chance, deliver it to the Wheel of Rebirth Companion. If not, cast it into the Wheel of Rebirth.”

“Our hope lies in the future.”

The War Lord pushed Jiu Feng out of Hong Huang.

Then he turned, his smile vanished, his eyes boiling with endless killing intent.

He had slain too many great ones of the Three Clans—how could he possibly escape?

Better to stay and take a few more with him!

“Come!!”

The War Lord roared, his voice like a divine decree.

All weapons on the battlefield obeyed his call, surging skyward.

“Now let you see what a War Lord truly is!”

“Hahaha!!”

The headless Killing Demon God ultimately fled too.

It wasn’t that he was cowardly.

Tai Wei Tian Di was truly terrifying!

Destruction had already lost—what could Killing possibly kill?

“Companion, don’t rush—the chance to face the Opening Heaven Axe doesn’t come often. Miss this one, and you won’t know when the next will come.”

The Death Demon God’s eyes glowed with fiery light; he was exhilarated, every fiber of his soul trembling with excitement.

Death was his destiny.

Killing others—or being killed—meant nothing to him.

Boom boom boom~~

Winds and clouds stirred; thunder rumbled; the Opening Heaven Axe fell once more.

Slaughter descended, utterly fierce, utterly strong!

The Death Demon God stood motionless, his gaze still blazing as he stared at the giant above the River of Time and Space.

He stepped forward to meet Xiang Xuanqing’s axe.

“Madman!”

The Killing Demon God made this judgment.

“Without madness, there is no survival!” The Illness Demon God suddenly appeared beside the Killing Demon God.

She gazed toward the Death Demon God, approving: “Now that’s what illness looks like.”

“I’ve realized—in this Hong Huang, only the mad have a chance to live,” the Illness Demon God said with a smile.

“What do you mean?” The Killing Demon God was confused.

“It means… thank you, Companion, for taking the disaster for me. I’m off!” The Illness Demon God vanished instantly.

“Oh? Killing Demon God?”

The Killing Demon God turned.

Wu Ji Shen Jun (Fu Xi) appeared, holding a massive hammer.

Killing: “...”

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the Killing Demon God screamed curses.

“F***! Illness, you bastard!”

The Killing Demon God now knew—this enemy had been lured by the Illness Demon God.

“Killing, don’t run!”

Ming He also chased after them.

“Friend, this is a prey of our Qilin Clan,” Wuji Shenjun (Fu Xi) emphasized.

“I’ll add more!”

Ming He said: “Kill him—the Dao Fruit is mine, the body is yours!”

“Additionally, I gift you a lotus seed.”

“Deal!” Wuji Shenjun (Fu Xi) immediately agreed.

Beneath Mount Xumi.

Luo Hou killed Gong Gong, then Zhu Rong; killed Xuan Ming, then Ru Shou; killed Tian Wu, then Zhu Long.

【Qiang Liang】Ming He, 【Xi Zi】Xiang Xuanqing were both targeted for death by the Demon Ancestor.

The entire great array was drenched in murderous aura, leaving only Hou Tu, Shen Ni, and Xiang Gu.

“Friend, we cannot survive this calamity,” Hou Tu sighed faintly.

Although the Wu Shen organization had long written this script.

But when the Wu Shen actually died as written in the script, the feeling was entirely different.

“Merely a little wind and frost,” Shen Ni said, watching each companion fall—his eyes held not a trace of sorrow.

“Death is not the end; our lives have another legend to unfold.” Xiang Gu’s corpse did not flee—he chose to die alongside the Wu Shen.

They had already written their legend.

Shen Ni and Xiang Gu’s mission ended.

Di Jiang and She Bi Shi would be reborn.

【Heir to the Chaotic Demon God’s will, born from the blood of Pan Gu Zhenren—our story is not over!】

Shen Ni and Xiang Gu’s corpse marched bravely to their deaths.

【Friend Wu Pan, please collect our bodies for us.】Shen Ni said.

【Understood, Elder Di Jiang!】

Hou Tu was subsequently slain by the Zhuxian Sword.
