Chapter 239: Hongjun's Three Corpses! Lu Yun Takes Action! The Demon Race That Was Despised!

Hongjun's actions made Fuxi and the others feel troubled; the power of the Chaos Storm was immense, and even experts at the Quasi-Saint level needed to exert their full strength to ensure their own safety.

But none of them gave up.

Although the Chaos Storm brought them great resistance, they still tried their best to break through the obstacles and head to the place where the Human Race resided.

Fuxi was even more anxious, as if his heart were burning.

He knew clearly that if the Demon Race truly exterminated the Human Race, the entire landscape of the Great Desolation would undergo earth-shattering changes; more importantly, the opportunity for him to prove the Dao, which he had finally found with such difficulty, would also vanish.

Therefore, he exhausted all his strength to drive the Fuxi Zither, engaging in a fierce contest with the Chaos Storm.

As an ancient Quasi-Saint, Zhulong possessed extraordinary strength.

Facing the Chaos Storm, he unleashed his natal Dharma treasure—the Zhulong Eye. This pair of eyes contained the power to destroy heaven and extinguish the earth, capable of illuminating the Chaos and dispelling the darkness.

Under the radiance of the Zhulong Eye, the Chaos Storm seemed to falter for a moment, creating an opportunity for a breakthrough for Zhulong.

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi immediately unleashed the Earth Book; this Innate Supreme Treasure contained the power of the earth, capable of stabilizing his form and allowing him to walk as if on flat ground within the Chaos Storm.

With the help of the Earth Book's power, he stepped forward toward the Primordial Land.

The Queen Mother of the West, Minghe, and others were not to be outdone; they successively unleashed their Supernatural Powers and drove their Spiritual Treasures, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the Chaos Storm.

Although the process was difficult, none of them gave up, because they knew that at this moment, they were not only fighting for the future of the entire Human Race, but also fighting for themselves.

Just as they were struggling forward, Fuxi suddenly frowned; he sensed a powerful aura approaching.

Immediately afterward, Zhulong, Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and Minghe also perceived this aura.

"This is..." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhulong's eyes.

"It seems to be Hongjun's aura." Zhenyuanzi's expression changed slightly.

The others were all horrified.

They had indeed thought that Hongjun might take action to stop them, but they had never imagined that Hongjun would actually come to deal with them personally?

They were merely a group of Quasi-Saints; what virtue or ability did they have to warrant such targeting?

The next moment, they indeed saw a figure appear ahead.

However, the aura emitted by this figure was indeed very similar to Hongjun's, yet it was different from the Hongjun who had previously fought against the Earthly Faction, and the temperament appeared very cold.

After appearing before the crowd, he introduced himself coldly: "This poor Daoist, Zixiao Daoren, greets all fellow Daoists."

The Queen Mother of the West narrowed her eyes slightly: "Is this one of Hongjun's Three Corpses?"

The hearts of the others all turned cold.

In the past, when Hongjun lectured at Zixiao Palace, he had once passed down the Slaying the Three Corpses method, stating that this was also a path to proving the Dao.

These people had all listened to the lectures at Zixiao Palace back then and naturally knew of this method; many had even attempted to practice it, yet they had never seen Hongjun's Three Corpses. They did not expect that seeing one today would be under such circumstances.

What they did not expect even more was that this Three Corpses incarnation of Hongjun actually possessed the cultivation level of a Saint!

This left them feeling somewhat desperate for a moment.

They were not the twelve Ancestral Witches, nor did they know the Dutian Shensha Array; even if they joined forces, they could not be a match for a Saint.

Zixiao Daoren looked at the fearful expressions of the crowd, smiled coldly, and said without a trace of emotion in his voice: "Everyone, Hongjun Daozu has ordered that you are not to proceed to the Primordial Land, otherwise, do not blame this seat for being heartless."

Fuxi and the others looked at each other; although they were anxious, they knew that a head-on collision with Zixiao Daoren at this moment was not a wise move.

Zhulong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zixiao Daoren, we are only going to assist the Human Race and have no other intentions. Why is Hongjun Daozu so resolute?"

Zixiao Daoren glanced at Zhulong coldly and said indifferently: "The Heavenly Dao has its own rules; anyone who attempts to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Dao cannot be spared. If you insist on going, you are enemies of the Heavenly Dao, and you will bear the consequences yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the hearts of Fuxi and the others sank. They knew that they could not change Hongjun Daozu's decision. But they were also unwilling to give up just like that; after all, this concerned their opportunity to prove the Dao.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a look of determination suddenly flashed in Zhulong's eyes. He took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, since the Heavenly Dao is unkind, why should we wait to be captured? I, Zhulong, am willing to be the vanguard, charge into the Primordial Land, and fight the Demon Race together with the Human Race!"

As soon as Zhulong's voice fell, he transformed into a streak of light, charged directly into the Chaos Storm, and sped toward the Primordial Land.

Fuxi, Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, Minghe, Kunpeng, and others were also shocked at the sight. They knew that Zhulong's action was a desperate gamble, a decision to fight the Heavenly Dao.

After a fierce struggle, they finally made up their minds, followed closely behind, charged into the Chaos Storm, and set off toward the Primordial Land.

Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Zixiao Daoren's eyes, and he said coldly: "Since you do not know what is good for you, then do not blame this seat for being impolite!" Having said that, his figure moved, and he also transformed into a streak of light, chasing after the crowd.

But the crowd quickly scattered, betting that even if Zixiao Daoren was powerful, he could not catch up with all of them, and someone would eventually reach the Great Desolation!

On the Primordial Land, the battle between the Demon Race and the Human Race intensified.

While the Human Race army and the Demon Race army were clashing, the low-level demons were not idle either, continuing to launch attacks on the cities of the Human Race in various places.

After all, the Demon Race's greatest goal this time was to collect the living souls of the Human Race to prepare for the refining of the Slaughtering Witch Sword!

At this time, Duobao and the others were in various cities of the Human Race, helping the Human Race resist the Demon Race invasion.

Like them, there were many races that had previously been on good terms with the Human Race, so the cities of the Human Race were temporarily still intact.

However, everyone knew that the key to this great battle still lay with the Demon Race army and the Human Race army.

Therefore, the eyes of Duobao and the others were focused on the battle between the Human Race army and the Demon Race army.

They saw that the situation on the Human Race side was clearly becoming increasingly dire.

"Boom—"

The collision between the Demon Race and the Human Race was like two stars crashing, releasing energy that could destroy heaven and extinguish the earth.

On the battlefield, the demonic aura and the Humanity Power intertwined, forming waves that were soul-stirring, and even the surrounding space was constantly being torn apart.

The Demon Race army surged like a tide, the demonic aura blotting out the sky and sun; within it, one could faintly see the figures of various ferocious demon beasts, roaring and howling, charging toward the Human Race with the power to destroy everything.

As for the Human Race side, although they were outnumbered by the Demon Race, every warrior was heroic and fearless; they held weapons, their eyes flashing with firm light, and built up one defensive line after another for the Human Race.

The battle continued, and the Human Race Great Array began to totter under the fierce attacks of the Demon Race.

The experts in the Demon Race army continuously unleashed Supernatural Powers, attempting to break through the Human Race Great Array in one fell swoop. Finally, under a violent impact, a corner of the Human Race Great Array was broken. The high-level demons were immediately overjoyed.

Taiyi shouted loudly: "Take the opportunity to slaughter these humans!"

Numerous Demon Race experts responded one after another, intending to strike while the iron was hot and slaughter this group of Human Race experts.

But just at the critical moment when the Human Race was in a desperate situation, a majestic and resonant voice suddenly spread across the battlefield: "Demon Race, you bully my Human Race too much; today, this Saint Emperor will make you all vanish into ashes right here!"

Immediately following this, a brilliant ray of light descended from the sky, landing directly before the Human Race army and blocking all attacks from the Demon Race.

After the light dissipated, it revealed a figure clad in white, holding the Kongtong Seal—it was none other than Lu Yun. He radiated a powerful Humanity Power, instantly becoming the hope and pillar of the entire Human Race.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Yun, the morale of the human warriors was instantly boosted.

"Saint Emperor! Saint Emperor Your Majesty has arrived!"

"I knew Saint Emperor Your Majesty would definitely come!"

"Now it is time for these members of the Demon Race to die!"

They shouted Lu Yun's name, and powerful auras erupted from their bodies as well.

The Demon Race side, however, had their expressions change drastically; they had never expected that Lu Yun would appear at this moment, and his strength seemed even greater than before.

Di Jun's expression was even more somber.

He had originally thought that he could take advantage of Lu Yun's absence to take a big bite out of the Human Race and cause Lu Yun's side to suffer a heavy blow.

But in the end, he failed to achieve this goal.

However, Di Jun was not panicked.

Even if Lu Yun was now a Saint, so what? Dao Ancestor Hongjun was currently watching Lu Yun; Lu Yun showing his face now was simply seeking his own death!

Di Jun had already prepared himself, waiting to see how Hongjun would crush Lu Yun! Just as Di Jun thought, Hongjun, who was watching the battle from within Chaos, saw Lu Yun appear, and his eyes lit up.

In the current situation, as long as he could defeat Lu Yun, the power of Humanity would be greatly weakened, the threat of the Earthly Dao would be reduced, and the situation in the Great Desolation would return to his control.

No matter what, Lu Yun must die!

Hongjun took a deep breath, preparing to use even greater power to deal with Lu Yun.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Lu Yun, who had appeared on the Primordial Land, suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the endless void and Chaos, landing directly on Hongjun.

A playful smile curled at the corner of Lu Yun's mouth, and he said, "Hongjun, there is no need to be anxious. I am coming to Chaos right now to compete with you!"

Once these words were spoken, Hongjun's expression also sank.

This Lu Yun actually dared to speak to him like this; he truly did not put him in his eyes at all! However, he did not rush to make a move.

Because Lu Yun's words also reminded him that the Primordial Land was not suitable for him to take action.

Even though he was now one with the Heavenly Dao, if he destroyed the Primordial Land without cause, he would still suffer Karmic Backlash and might even be rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

He wanted to see if Lu Yun truly dared to come and fight him!...

Di Jun, Taiyi, and the other members of the Demon Race were all stunned after hearing Lu Yun's words.

What did this Lu Yun mean? Did he think he could easily slaughter the Demon Race and then head to Chaos to battle Hongjun? This was looking down on them far too much! Taiyi could not help but become angry for a moment, almost unable to resist activating the Chaos Bell to strike at Lu Yun first.

Yet in truth, Lu Yun looked down on their Demon Race even more than he had imagined!

Lu Yun did not even intend to take action himself; he simply waved his hand, manifesting twelve avatars out of thin air, and then said to them, "You solve these members of the Demon Race!"

After saying this, he leaped toward the direction of Chaos!

Seeing his disdainful attitude, Taiyi was completely enraged and roared, "Lu Yun! You are too arrogant! Today, this Emperor will definitely make you pay the price!"

Taiyi suddenly activated the Chaos Bell, about to smash it toward Lu Yun! Di Jun's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Taiyi, do not be impulsive!"

Stopped by him, Taiyi then remembered that if he insisted on making Lu Yun stay, it would not be a good thing for their Demon Race.

Even if he was unwilling, he had to accept the reality that he was no longer a match for Lu Yun! Seeing Taiyi calm down, Di Jun breathed a sigh of relief and sent a voice transmission to soothe him: "Rest assured, he won't be arrogant for long! The Dao Ancestor will definitely make him vanish into thin air!"

Taiyi nodded slightly and looked again in the direction Lu Yun had left. Seeing that Lu Yun had already disappeared, he said in a deep voice, "Since he dares to look down on us like this, we will let him see clearly before he dies what price must be paid for looking down on us!"

After saying this, his gaze turned toward the Human Race opposite them, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Di Jun naturally agreed with this point very much.

Although Lu Yun had left behind twelve avatars that were not to be underestimated, under the current situation, the Demon Race had no other choice.

And so—

"Attack!"

At Di Jun's command, the Demon Race army rallied together and, led by the Ten Great Demon Sages, launched a fierce attack on the Human Race once again.

The Hunyuan Heluo Array began to operate once more, attempting to swallow the Human Race army.

But this time, what they faced were Lu Yun's twelve Primordial Avatars. Each of these avatars contained Lu Yun's deeper insights into the Great Dao, and their strength was incomparably powerful.

With just a movement of their figures, they perfectly integrated into the Human Race's Great Array.

Consequently, immeasurable starlight fell from the firmament, and the Human Race's "Zhou Tian Star Formation" instantly became even more perfect, its power reaching an unprecedented height! "Boom—!"

The two sides collided just once, and the expressions of Di Jun and Taiyi changed.

Because they were horrified to discover that the "Zhou Tian Star Formation" operated by the Human Race at this moment was even more powerful than their own Demon Race version!

This was clearly a killing array they had created for the Demon Race; now that it had not only fallen into the hands of the Human Race but was also displaying even greater power in their hands, was this not a slap in their faces? Di Jun gritted his teeth and ordered, "Abandon the 'Zhou Tian Star Formation', activate the 'Hunyuan Heluo Array' with full force, and grind these humans to death for this Emperor!"

At the same time, Lu Yun's figure had already entered Outer Space.

Through the perspective of his avatars, he sensed the battle situation in the lower realm and saw that the Demon Race was fighting desperately, but he did not care.

He simply waved his hand, and two beautiful figures appeared beside him—they were none other than the Xihe sisters, who had been in seclusion for a long time!
