Chapter 341: Primordial Great Lo

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder came from the Boundless, rolling without end.

Terrifying power gradually spread outward, hanging directly above the heavens, as if the Dao of Heaven was about to unleash its fury in the next instant.

“Hong Jun, my friend, I advise you not to act rashly, or we cannot guarantee Yang Mei’s safety.”

Xiang Xuanqing looked at Hong Jun and said: “You’ve seen the power of the Opening Axe—once this axe falls, you’ll have to say goodbye to your brother.”

“Which is heavier: the great cause of the Immortal Dao, or the bond of life and death? My friend, weigh it carefully.”

“Exactly!”

Luo Hou smiled as he gazed at Hong Jun.

“My Slaying God Spear has already slain thirteen Great Lo, one more won’t hurt!”

Yang Mei: “.”

What exactly is going on here?

I, the primordial ancestor of the Immortal Dao, the Great Lo Sovereign, have become a hostage in an instant?

Is this reasonable?

“My two friends, you’re joking, right?” Yang Mei remained calm, a gentle smile on his face.

Xiang Xuanqing also smiled: “Whether we’re joking depends on Hong Jun’s choice.”

Luo Hou’s voice carried its unique seductive tone: “Don’t you, Yang Mei, want to know your true standing in Hong Jun’s heart?”

“No!”

Yang Mei answered decisively.

As Hong Jun’s most harmonious partner, how could he not know what kind of deity Hong Jun was?

He didn’t need to test it—he already knew what Hong Jun would choose.

“Release Yang Mei.”

“????”

Yang Mei suddenly looked up, scrutinizing the figure in the sky, stunned into silence: “Are you really Hong Jun?”

Xiang Xuanqing and Luo Hou exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment in each other’s eyes.

“I know what you’re thinking.”

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder circled in the void, like a colossal dragon radiating terrifying pressure.

Hong Jun stood amid the clouds, his gaze calm as he said: “The emergence of Hong Huang’s Dao of Heaven is now fact—and it truly came from my hands.”

“No matter how you scheme, this fact cannot be changed.”

“I, Hong Jun, shall be the Dao of Heaven’s spokesperson.”

As Hong Jun’s words ended, the heavens rumbled in response.

“Funny—I, Tai Wei, am also the Dao of Heaven’s spokesperson!” Xiang Xuanqing raised the half-piece of the Creation Jade Disc, and the sky’s thunderlight vanished.

Luo Hou, the Demon Ancestor, casually took the Creation Jade Disc and smiled: “My Demon Dao can also be the Dao of Heaven’s spokesperson!”

“BOOM!!”

Dark demonic clouds rolled across the horizon, darkening Hong Jun’s face.

The captured Yang Mei looked from Hong Jun in the sky to the two beside him.

He suddenly felt Hong Huang’s Dao of Heaven was quite difficult.

Born with three fathers (or mothers).

“One Dao of Heaven, three spokespersons—don’t you think this betrays Grand Pan Gu?”

Yang Mei spoke up for Pan Gu: “Grand Pan Gu’s will cannot be split like this!”

“All beings say fate toys with mortals—but are you playing with fate itself appropriate?”

“It’s not appropriate!”

“I agree it’s not appropriate.”

Xiang Xuanqing nodded: “Quickly persuade Hong Jun to give up custody of the Dao of Heaven—no, I mean, its spokespersonship.”

“Hong Huang’s Dao of Heaven is about to unify—don’t let it be ruined by his hands. You agree, right?”

“Is this right?” Yang Mei looked at Xiang Xuanqing, the thief crying “Catch the thief!”—now he understood why Xiang Xuanqing could become Tai Wei Emperor.

Only Hong Jun could match this level of brazen audacity.

“Hong Jun!”

Luo Hou pointed at the heavens and shouted: “Had the Demon Beasts’ calamity not just ended, and had it been unwise to stir up chaos, I would have already set up the Slaying Immortal Sword Array in your Immortal Court to decide who the Dao of Heaven truly belongs to!”

“But today, since you chose your brother, you’ve shown due consideration—so I’ll spare you for now. Go.”

Luo Hou sheathed his Slaying God Spear and shoved Yang Mei forward.

Yang Mei shot upward as a rainbow of light.

Qian Kun, Yin Yang, and other immortals stepped forward, surrounding Hong Jun, staring at Mount Xumi and asking: “Old Master, why not seize Mount Xumi now?”

“Yes! Seize this opportunity—capture the Demon Ancestor and take Mount Xumi!” Emperor Jun, Yao Chi, Jie Yin, Zhen Wu, Xi He, Hong Yun, Feng Li Xi (Nv Wa’s alias), the Three Pure Ones, and countless other Immortal Dao immortals surged forward together.

At that moment, Yang Mei pointed to the boundless merit displayed by the Tai Wei gods and said: “The Demon Beasts’ calamity has ended—the heavens are now settling all karmic debts. Whoever stirs up chaos will surely face boundless calamity!”

“With the Dao of Heaven in hand, how can you fail to generate merit?”

Yin Yang Daoist said: “A little karmic debt? With enough merit, it’s easily absorbed!”

“Is there a possibility that the Dao Ancestor can’t generate merit right now?”

The Three Pure Ones spoke: “We are Celestial Immortals—we sense the Dao of Heaven’s authority keenly. Its power is now split in two, and we all belong to the Dao of Heaven’s camp.”

“But after the division, the Dao Ancestor seems to have lost the function of ‘rewarding virtue and punishing evil.’”

All the immortals froze in place.

What?

Our Dao of Heaven can’t even generate merit?

“Then what use is this Dao of Heaven?” the immortals asked, baffled.

“To comprehend the Great Dao and aid your cultivation!”

Though Hong Jun’s heart was deeply troubled, he still wore a calm expression, as if he held all cards.

“It can also guard against Tai Wei Yuan using the Dao of Heaven to harm us.”

“What nonsense—what do you mean Tai Wei Yuan harms you?”

“You’re the ones with ill intent and hidden agendas!”

Xiang Xuanqing heard the final slander and retorted: “Everyone in Hong Huang knows the Dao of Heaven originally belonged to Tai Wei Yuan—you, Hong Jun, fraudulently claimed to be its agent. Charging you a licensing fee is perfectly reasonable.”

“Exactly!”

Luo Hou looked at the sea of immortals and said: “If you disagree, come to Mount Xumi another day and debate it!”

“Why wait? Right now, I’d like to learn your esteemed techniques!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The Tai Chi Diagram unfurled into the sky, forming a golden bridge, instantly bathing mountains and rivers in five-colored radiance.

“SWISH!!”

The Slaying Immortal Sword emerged, transforming endlessly.

This sword darted like a startled rainbow, glided like a dancing dragon, and struck the Tai Chi Diagram.

“Fall!” Yin Yang Daoist waved his hand—black and white divine light pierced the heavens like a torrential downpour, threatening to tear apart heaven and earth!

“BOOM!!”

Chaotic waves rolled.

The Slaying Sword and Yin Yang Sword clashed violently, shattering cosmic time and freezing its flow.

“Splash!”

Luo Hou stood midair, tearing open the barrier of the brocade heavens—the sky and earth were entirely filled by a raging crimson river, each droplet eroding spiritual power and dissolving Yin Yang laws.

“Die!” Luo Hou suddenly punched.

The void trembled, heaven shook, earth quaked!

CRASH!

The Tai Chi Diagram dimmed for an instant.

Yin Yang Daoist’s figure on the golden bridge swayed.

“Didn’t you say we shouldn’t stir up chaos?” the immortals stared at Hong Jun.

Hong Jun said calmly: “Yin Yang Daoist is merely seeking the Great Dao from our alliance allies—how is that stirring up chaos?”

“Cut!”

Yin Yang Daoist struck again—endless splendor of the Great Dao flooded the heavens; one divine sword after another concealed within Yin Yang, exhaling murderous intent.

“Hmph!”

Luo Hou swept his sleeve—crimson light surged like a blood sea, swallowing all attacks and engulfing Yin Yang Daoist’s figure.

The Slaying Immortal Sword kills, the Annihilation Immortal Sword brings death, the Trapping Immortal Sword ignites crimson light everywhere.

The Trapping Immortal Sword’s strength lies in “entrapment.”

“Stabilize!!”

Yin Yang Daoist shook the Tai Chi Diagram, freezing the sky’s crimson light.

This artifact was born of creation—capable of stabilizing earth, fire, water, and wind, distinguishing clarity from turbidity. Stabilizing one Trapping Immortal Sword was no great feat.

“Luo Hou, take this!”

The Inverted Immortal shouted, then punched himself.

"Hm?"

The Demon Ancestor’s body jolted violently.

BOOM!

The swordlight descended, already at the top of the Demon Ancestor’s head.

Suddenly, a jet-black lotus bloomed out of nowhere, perfectly blocking the swordlight.

DONG!

Demon energy surged; the swordlight scattered, illuminating the Demon Ancestor’s face.

His expression was resolute, his eyes still profound.

"Watch out!"

The Reversal Daoist swung his fist straight at his own face, each strike merciless. In response, Luo Hou’s facial muscles twitched repeatedly.

His face turned black.

"Go!"

Luo Hou pointed a finger; the blood-red glow on the horizon turned jet black.

Endless killing qi raged like a tidal wave, surging up and down, forcing the Reversal Daoist back.

DONG DONG DONG DONG!

Spinning, countless swordlights fell, arriving in an instant, one after another, each striking a different point.

The demonic lotus flashed constantly, now left, now right, as if occupying multiple positions simultaneously, barely deflecting every single swordlight.

"BOOM!!"

The Universe’s Final Harmony blocked the infinite killing intent.

"Friend, please instruct me!"

The Universe Daoist also entered the fray.

The Reversal Daoist seized his chance to breathe—he struck relentlessly, targeting his own face with every blow.

"Luo Hou, you bastard, I’ll kill you!"

"You bastard, take this punch!"

"I hit, I hit, I hit hit hit!"

The Reversal Daoist activated his Reversal Dao Fruit, transferring all damage meant for himself onto Luo Hou.

This tactic of inflicting a thousand wounds while losing eight hundred made the scene momentarily bloody.

Yet among the three Daoists, the Reversal Daoist dealt the most and most effective damage to Luo Hou.

Xiang Xuanqing could no longer watch; he kindly tried to mediate.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

"If you keep this up, something bad will happen!"

"Huh huh!" In an instant, the sea of clouds churned; Emperor Jun swept his sleeve, as if countless golden lamps ignited, or ten thousand golden lotuses bloomed in Cengceng layers.

In a flash, heaven and earth brightened, all laws clarified.

"I’ve long heard of the Great Wei Emperor’s name; today I finally meet you, and have come to seek your instruction!" Emperor Jun held a golden lamp, illuminating a face full of excitement, his eyes gleaming with mysterious light.

Beating up the Emperor!

Such an opportunity is rare—don’t miss it.

Xiang Xuanqing frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

Emperor Jun struck out; golden auroras rose into layered clouds, spilling endless, scorching heavenly fire.

One golden lamp bloomed with nine petals of blazing flame; Emperor Jun flipped his hand and hurled it forth—the golden lamp’s flames surged en masse toward Xiang Xuanqing, as if trying to burn him alive!

"I’ll help you!" Hong Yun, suddenly itching for a fight, also joined in.

"Heaven-Earth Mirror!"

He flung out a spiritual treasure; clouds filled heaven and earth, primordial energy gathered boundlessly, the sea of clouds surged, the primordial energy rolled.

The Heaven-Earth Mirror manifested the Four Symbols, harmonized the Five Phases, evolved the Eight Trigrams, reversed heaven and earth’s primordial energy, encompassed all paths of the world, as the origin of one qi and the root of all laws!

"Goodbye, gentlemen!"

Xiang Xuanqing raised his hand; the axe blade cleaved through space, its sound like war drums, radiating infinite light, like snowflakes falling, drowning the entire cosmos, extinguishing the golden lamps encircling Emperor Jun.

The void emitted mournful cries.

BOOM!!

Emperor Jun was no match at all—he was blasted backward.

Hong Yun’s Heaven-Earth Mirror was struck by one axe blow and instantly dimmed.

And this was still thanks to Hong Jun’s intervention.

A bamboo staff blocked the Opening Heaven Axe.

Hong Jun descended from the clouds.

The tattered Emperor Jun and Hong Yun were rescued by Yang Mei with his dust whisk.

"Two friends, admirable spirit!" Yang Mei praised.

"Such a huge gap?" Emperor Jun gasped in shock.

His entire Dao robe had been slashed into rags, revealing his pale, muscular body.

Hong Yun clutched his spiritual treasure, heart aching.

Yang Mei glanced down at Mount Sumeru and said clearly: "Third Realm Great Luo—what do you think?"

BOOM!!!

"All three of you, get out of here!"

Harassed by the three Immortals, Luo Hou grew furious and unleashed his true power—the God-Slaying Spear let out a deafening roar!

"Die!"

The Demon Ancestor’s voice cut through the boundless expanse of time and space.

The reversed killing qi boiled; scattered killing intent surged to its peak!

The world-destroying slaughter met head-on; the world collapsed, killing intent overturned, killing qi reversed, chaotic flows severed heaven and earth—terrible slaughter fell like stars crashing from the sky to the earth.

The God-Slaying Spear’s power was refined to the extreme, annihilating all.

DONG!!

A dull sound.

The Universe Cauldron was flung away; the Universe Daoist’s chest was pierced—he was blasted backward instantly.

QIANG!

The Taiji Golden Bridge shattered; the Taiji Diagram was forced back by a single spear thrust.

Yin Yang Daoist’s sword shrieked as it snapped; his entire arm holding the sword was obliterated.

PA!

The Reversal Daoist delivered a sharp slap.

"Sssss~" The slap landed solidly—the damage was entirely absorbed by himself.

"Puh~"

The Reversal Daoist spat out two bloody, broken teeth.

This scene caused Feng Li Xi, Yao Chi, Zhen Wu, Xi He, and others who were about to join the fight to halt immediately.

"Too close!" Several Immortals exclaimed inwardly.

"Two friends, you’ve hidden your strength well!" Hong Jun raised his emerald bamboo staff, blocking the residual might of the God-Slaying Spear for the three Immortals.

"Likewise."

Xiang Xuanqing held the Opening Heaven Axe and smiled at Hong Jun: "I thought you’d hold back and stay still."

"Just sparring—point taken, stop there."

Hong Jun stepped back, showing humility, and asked with a smile: "May I ask, what is the name of your realm?"

"Tai Shi Great Luo!"

Xiang Xuanqing asked in return: "And you?"

Hong Jun said: "Two Corpses Great Luo."

"Friend, you’ve chosen a very fine path," Hong Jun smiled.

Xiang Xuanqing also praised: "Friend, you’ve walked a path straight to heaven."

"Why don’t you ask me?" Luo Hou interjected.

"Is there a path beyond the Demon Dao?" Hong Jun asked.

Luo Hou’s face darkened: "That’s an insult to my Demon Dao!"

"The third realm of Great Luo is still on the path toward the ancient sages who sought the Dao—why not call it 'Zhun Sheng'?"

"My Demon Dao’s third realm is called Zhun Sheng!"

"Zhun Sheng?" Both Xiang Xuanqing and Hong Jun turned to look.

"What, do you have doubts?"

Luo Hou was annoyed: "Our Demon Dao has always been upright and glorious, with manifest saintly virtue."

"What’s wrong with calling the third realm of Great Luo 'Zhun Sheng'?"

Hong Jun nodded: "I retract my earlier words. Our Immortal Dao’s third realm of Great Luo Jin Xian is called Two Corpses Zhun Sheng."

Luohou flew into a rage, rising with his spear: “You’re plagiarizing, are you?!”

“No, this is outright robbery.”

Hongjun vanished in a flash of light.

“You get back here!” Luohou chased after him immediately.

Only Xiang Xuanqing remained, facing the myriad immortals.

He said: “I’ll give you one more chance to duel me one-on-one.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

The immortals fled in panic.

Seeing this, Xiang Xuanqing sighed: “Am I really that terrifying?”
