Chapter 183: Hongjun Strikes Again! Lu Yun Opens Up the Universe! Shaking the Chaos!

After much deliberation, Houtu finally decided to arrange for Lu Yun to enter secluded cultivation within the outer hall of Pangu Hall.

Because this place was the safest location for the Wu Clan.

Protected by the lingering might of the Great God Pangu, even a Saint would not dare to intrude lightly.

After giving Lu Yun instructions regarding his seclusion, she walked out of the hall, sealed the entrance, and personally stood guard outside to ensure Lu Yun's safety.

Seeing this, the Great Witches guarding the entrance were all quite surprised.

Upon inquiring and learning that Lu Yun was attempting a breakthrough inside Pangu Hall, they were all filled with envy.

It was just a pity that envy was useless; they had all tried before and simply could not enter the inner hall.

One Great Witch could not help but ask, "Ancestral Witch Houtu, could Brother Lu Yun actually be one of our Wu Clan?"

Another Great Witch also could not help but say, "He has obtained a fortuitous encounter in the inner hall this time; could it be that after he finishes his cultivation, he will become the thirteenth Ancestral Witch of our Wu Clan?"

The other Great Witches also looked at Houtu with eager eyes.

Houtu was taken aback, truly not expecting the Great Witches to come up with such a conjecture.

However, thinking about it, it made sense; Lu Yun could even enter the inner hall of Pangu Hall and could also perform Dharma Heaven and Earth, so it was difficult for the Wu Clan not to associate him with being the thirteenth Ancestral Witch.

In fact, it seemed that many people had previously believed that Lu Yun's abilities were related to their Wu Clan.

If she did not know for a fact that Lu Yun had no connection to the Wu Clan, Houtu herself might have formed such a conjecture.

After all, if she had not seen it with her own eyes, Houtu would not have believed that anyone's comprehension could reach the level of Lu Yun's.

Thinking of Lu Yun's terrifying comprehension, and then thinking of the heaven-defying fortuitous encounter Lu Yun had obtained in the inner hall, Houtu felt more and more that the time Lu Yun would spend in secluded cultivation was unpredictable.

She did not know how long she would have to stand guard.

Thus, she simply told the Great Witches responsible for the outside, "Do not let your imaginations run wild; Lu Yun has no blood connection to our Wu Clan. By the way, I am standing guard here now, so you go and get me some ingredients!"

Evidently, she was preparing to cook delicious food while waiting for Lu Yun to emerge from seclusion.

The Great Witches naturally had no objections and hurried off to make preparations.

Meanwhile, Hongjun, far away in Zixiao Palace, had already learned through the reactions of the Twelve Ancestral Witches that Lu Yun had not only entered the inner hall of Pangu Hall but had also obtained a great fortuitous encounter.

"How could this be?" He felt anxious and uneasy in his heart.

He did not understand why Lu Yun, a Human Race being possessed by an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, could be recognized by Pangu Hall.

But he knew that if things continued this way, Lu Yun might truly disrupt his original plan.

After some thought, Hongjun decided to take advantage of Lu Yun's seclusion to find a way to accelerate his plan.

He cast his gaze toward the Demon Race in Outer Space and cursed inwardly, "These Di Jun and Taiyi are truly trash."

For the sake of the Witch-Demon Calamity, he had already secretly helped Di Jun and the others many times; even the fact that Fuxi and Nuwa joined the Demon Race was due to his influence.

Because he could not personally act to exterminate the Wu Clan, he could only cultivate another force to resolve the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Wu Clan, while simultaneously eliminating other powerhouses who would affect his control over the Great Desolation! It was just a pity that Di Jun and Taiyi were truly too disappointing; they were currently being suppressed to such a degree by the Wu Clan and that Lu Yun!

In order to give the other side some impetus, Hongjun's heart stirred, and he secretly thought, "It is time for the Hunyuan Heluo Array to be revealed to the world!"

Thus, he began to make secret arrangements.

Immediately, he used the power of the Heavenly Dao to induce strange changes in the stars.

In Outer Space.

Di Jun was originally arranging the defenses of the Demon Race when, suddenly, he inadvertently saw strange changes appearing in the celestial phenomena.

After looking closely, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Taiyi could not help but ask, "Brother, what are you so happy about?"

Di Jun laughed heartily and said, "Just now, as I observed the celestial phenomena, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and I thought of the River Chart and Luo Book; I feel I can create a new array! If my Demon Race can master this great array, we will certainly be able to greatly increase our strength and reverse the current situation!"

Taiyi was also suddenly pleasantly surprised and said, "Is that true? That is simply wonderful!"

Di Jun's face was also full of smiles, and suddenly his heart stirred as he said, "It must be because of that Hongmeng Purple Qi! Otherwise, why would I have never thought of this before, but now I have!"

Taiyi said, "Regardless,"

Di Jun nodded, then turned and returned to his place of seclusion, quickly taking out the River Chart and Luo Book to begin contemplating them.

Taiyi, meanwhile, quickly spread this news to the various powerhouses of the Demon Race.

For a time, the entire Demon Race was also extremely excited, waiting with full anticipation for Di Jun to emerge from seclusion.

In Zixiao Palace.

When Hongjun saw that Di Jun had actually attributed the source of his inspiration to the Hongmeng Purple Qi, his expression could not help but darken.

He had not expected that he would end up taking credit for Lu Yun!

Fortunately, Hongjun's goal had been achieved.

He believed that in the process of contemplating the River Chart and Luo Book, Di Jun would certainly discover the mysteries of the Hunyuan Heluo Array.

As long as the Demon Race mastered this great array, they could greatly enhance their strength, thereby better dealing with the threat of the Wu Clan.

And this was precisely the result Hongjun wanted to see.

If the two races of Witch and Demon could fight to the death before Lu Yun finished his secluded cultivation, he would be able to deal with Lu Yun wholeheartedly!

However, in Hongjun's view, merely increasing the strength of the Demon Race was not enough.

He felt it was necessary to weaken the strength of the Wu Clan once more!

Hongjun's heart suddenly stirred, and his gaze once again looked through the endless void at Houtu, who was sitting at the entrance of Pangu Hall.

He saw Houtu eating the meat she had roasted herself while toying with the Human Book and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen she had previously taken from the treasury of the Houtu Tribe, seemingly studying why these two Spiritual Treasures would choose her, an Ancestral Witch, as their master.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Hongjun's mouth: "It is also time for Houtu to transform into Reincarnation!"

Houtu transforming into Reincarnation was the Heavenly Mandate he had set for her! Once Houtu transformed into Reincarnation, she would lose her Ancestral Witch body, and when the time came, he would have her suppress the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches would be one short! In this way, the Dutian Shensha Array of the Twelve Ancestral Witches would no longer be complete.

At that time, when facing the Demon Race that had mastered a new great array, the Wu Clan would inevitably suffer a great loss!

Thinking of this, Hongjun once again mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, directly clearing the shackles that had originally been placed upon the Human Book and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen.

Before Pangu Hall.

Houtu was currently savoring the aroma of the roasted meat while toying with the Human Book and the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Pen in her hands.

She was full of curiosity about these two Spiritual Treasures, yet she had never managed to figure out what was special about them.

However, just as she fell into deep thought, an inexplicable force suddenly descended, pulling her consciousness into a deep, dark space.

In this dark space, Houtu saw the life and death reincarnation of countless living beings, and saw the joys and sorrows they experienced in the world. These scenes caused her soul to be strongly shaken, and at the same time, they made her reflect on life, death, and reincarnation.

She became lost in these reflections, to the point that she even forgot about eating the roasted meat.

The Great Witches who were eating with her nearby saw her suddenly become distracted; although they were puzzled, they did not disturb her, but instead moved further away to guard Houtu and Pangu Hall.

Inside Pangu Hall.

Lu Yun sat cross-legged, repeatedly recalling the various scenes he had seen in the inner hall earlier.

With the help of his heaven-defying comprehension, he quickly integrated these insights regarding Pangu Opening Heaven and Earth with his Star Transformation cultivation technique, deducing the cultivation method for the next realm after the Origin Realm—the Qiankun Realm! Although this realm was also called the Qiankun Realm, Lu Yun knew that the technique he had deduced would inevitably have huge differences from that of Qin Yu in the Star Transformation world, but the effect would both be able to accomplish the opening of heaven and earth! After he finished deducing the technique, he immediately began to practice it.

At this moment, his consciousness entered the Origin Point space within his body.

In this space, which was once just a tiny point, as time passed, it had continuously absorbed Chaos Spiritual Qi from the Chaos, becoming exceptionally vast and stable.

However, now, Lu Yun felt that this space could no longer absorb any more Spiritual Qi from the Chaos.

He knew that it was time for the next step of cultivation—splitting the origin point, opening heaven and earth! Lu Yun's heart was filled with anticipation and excitement; he took a deep breath and then began to circulate the Qiankun Realm cultivation method he had just deduced.

His consciousness transformed into a sword beam, a sword beam that condensed all his insights into the Great Dao Law, incomparably sharp.

Suddenly, this sword beam slashed rapidly toward the origin point in his dantian! "Crack!"

A loud noise resounded within Lu Yun's body.

Immediately following—

"Boom!"

The Origin Point space shattered upon impact, turning into countless fragments that flew off in all directions.

In the process of scattering, these fragments continuously absorbed the surrounding Chaos Spiritual Qi, expanding rapidly.

At the same time, in the depths of the Chaos.

Yangmei Daxian suddenly felt the nearby Chaos region vibrate violently.

He saw the surrounding Chaos Spiritual Qi surging wildly, as if some powerful force was wreaking havoc there.

"What is going on?" Yangmei Daxian was shocked.

He hurriedly cast a Space Great Dao Divine Ability and fled far away from this region.

In the process of fleeing, he kept looking back at the place where the strange phenomena were occurring, his heart filled with suspicion and unease.

He had previously firmly believed that a powerful Chaos Spirit Treasure was gestating nearby, and that it should be almost finished gestating, so he had been guarding this place.

But seeing this situation now, it seemed somewhat different from what he had originally imagined.

While rapidly fleeing from the violently vibrating region, Yangmei Daxian recalled to himself the scene of Pangu Opening Heaven and Earth from the past.

"Back then, Pangu broke open the Chaos with an axe, opening heaven and earth, and created the Primordial World. Could it be that this strange phenomenon now is some other Primordial Chaos Demon God opening heaven and earth here?"

Thinking of this, Yangmei Daxian's heart was filled with suspicion. He had experienced the Pangu Opening Heaven and Earth of the past, so he naturally understood the difficulty and danger of opening heaven and earth.

Even an existence like Pangu had transformed his body into the world after opening heaven and earth, vanishing into the endless Time River.

Yet now, a similar strange phenomenon had appeared in this Chaos, and looking at the intensity, it seemed no weaker than when Pangu opened heaven and earth back then. This made Yangmei Daxian increasingly suspicious.

Driven by curiosity, Yangmei Daxian decided to get closer to witness the source of this commotion with his own eyes. With a thought, his body disappeared from where he stood, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived near the region where the strange phenomena were occurring.

However, when he saw the scene before him, even with his composure, he could not help but exclaim out loud.

He saw a vast world rapidly expanding in the Chaos, devouring the surrounding Chaos region. The speed of that expansion was simply jaw-dropping. Even a Primordial Chaos Demon God like Yangmei Daxian had never seen such a terrifying sight.

As the world expanded, a powerful suction force followed. Yangmei Daxian only felt his body being pulled uncontrollably toward that vast world, as if it might be swallowed up at any moment.

"Oh no!"

At this critical moment, Yangmei Daxian hurriedly circulated the power of the Space Great Dao, and a space barrier instantly formed around his body.

"Hum!"

The barrier shimmered with brilliant light, emitting a powerful defensive aura, and finally managed to barely resist that suction force.

At the same time, Yangmei Daxian's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood, fleeing at high speed toward the depths of the Chaos. He looked back and saw that the Chaos region where he had been just moments ago had already been annexed by the expanding world, turning into a void.

Yangmei Daxian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, feeling terrified. Fortunately, he had reacted in time, otherwise, he would likely have perished by now.

After the shock, Yangmei Daxian began to try using his divine sense to probe the vast world that was rapidly expanding. However, he discovered that as soon as his divine sense approached that world, it would be swallowed by an invisible force, making it impossible to obtain any information at all.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Yangmei Daxian muttered to himself: "Where on earth did this world come from? Was it created by someone or gestated naturally? If it was man-made... then the strength of the other party is simply terrifying beyond imagination!"

He continued to observe the expansion of the world from afar.

It is unknown how much time had passed, but the speed at which that vast world was expanding began to gradually slow down, as if it had reached some kind of limit.

Seeing this, Yangmei Daxian could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and the sense of crisis in his heart dissipated quite a bit.

At least for now, this mysterious world did not pose much of a threat to him, and there were no signs of it continuing to devour the surrounding Chaos region.

However, even so, Yangmei Daxian did not dare to be the least bit careless. After confirming several times that there was indeed no danger, he cautiously approached, wanting to get to the bottom of it and understand the true face of this vast world, as well as what kind of existence had given birth to it.

But just as he tried to approach the world, a voice suddenly entered his soul! (End of chapter)
