Chapter 245: Hongjun is at a loss
The members of the Heavenly Dao Faction were all taken aback, none of them quite understanding what Lu Yun meant by these words.
Nuwa, Houtu, and the other Ancestral Witches had all entered Lu Yun's Qiankun World, and had once heard Lu Yun say that the next realm he was cultivating toward was the so-called Qiankun Realm.
Therefore, at this moment, their eyes all lit up, and they looked toward Lu Yun with hearts full of anticipation.
Just as Lu Yun's voice fell, the aura around his body surged once again.
"Boom!"
A brand-new power erupted from within his body, instantly filling the entire Chaos Space!
At this, the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages of the Heavenly Dao Faction finally understood a little.
Because, at this moment, Lu Yun's aura had already surpassed the level of an ordinary Saint, reaching a state on par with Hongjun! "This is... Proving the Dao to Hunyuan!"
Yuanshi let out an exclamation, his face full of disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
Laozi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti also wore expressions of utter dejection.
The so-called Proving the Dao to Hunyuan naturally meant attaining the status of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal. That was the highest pursuit of all cultivators in the Great Desolation, and even they, these Saints, were no exception!
But this step was also extremely difficult.
Therefore, these people had ultimately been unable to restrain themselves and chose to become Heavenly Dao Saints.
Although both Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals and Heavenly Dao Saints were Saints, there was a massive difference between them.
If they were within the Great Desolation, Heavenly Dao Saints indeed possessed the strength of a Saint, but once they left the Great Desolation too far and lost the Heavenly Dao power bestowed upon them by the Heavenly Dao, they were merely Quasi-Saints.
Whereas a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal was a Saint no matter where they were!
At this moment, Lu Yun proving the Dao to Hunyuan meant that, in terms of cultivation, he had directly surpassed them! Added to the fact that he also held the status of the spokesperson for the Human Race Humanity Saint, with these two factors combined, Lu Yun's strength had now reached the same height as Hongjun.
Not to mention that they could not accept it, even Hongjun could not accept this matter.
After all, he had tried every possible means to restrict Lu Yun's development and to eliminate Lu Yun, this variable; yet, not only had Lu Yun not perished, he was becoming stronger and stronger.
This simply made him doubt his own existence! "No! This is impossible!"
Hongjun roared, unable to accept this fact.
Therefore, his heart suddenly stirred, and his Three Corpses also simultaneously urged their Immortal Swords again, intending to take advantage of the fact that Lu Yun had not yet completely finished his breakthrough to launch another attack on him!
But before he could launch the attack, figures suddenly flashed and appeared, blocking the space between him and Lu Yun.
Hongjun's expression sank.
He saw the Twelve Ancestral Witches with cold gazes, standing before him like a massive human wall.
What made him even more furious was that even Nuwa was now standing with the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Hongjun said angrily: "Nuwa, it seems you really don't want this Heavenly Dao Saint position anymore!"
Nuwa, however, smiled slightly and said: "If necessary, I can give up the Heavenly Dao Saint position right now."
This sentence instantly silenced Hongjun.
Because he realized that Nuwa could indeed completely give up the Heavenly Dao Saint position now, but with the Human Race Luck and merit she possessed, she could completely prove the Dao again to become a Human Dao Saint! And he had to accept that he could no longer stop the rise of the Great Desolation Humanity! For a time, Hongjun actually did not know what to do, and the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages, seeing that he had ceased his actions, naturally did not dare to act rashly.
As a result, the scene evolved into both sides silently watching Lu Yun, watching with their own eyes as the aura on his body grew more and more powerful! The next moment, Lu Yun, along with his many incarnations, disappeared directly in front of everyone and entered his own world!...
Inside Lu Yun's Qiankun World, earth-shattering changes were taking place at this moment.
The members of the Transmigration Chat Group were originally marveling at Lu Yun's previous actions, but suddenly felt themselves being pulled into Lu Yun's Qiankun World.
Before they could react, everything before their eyes left them all shocked beyond measure.
They saw that the Qiankun World, which was originally just one realm, was now evolving at an astonishing speed, gradually expanding into a vast cosmos.
They saw stars being born in the void, planets floating in the cosmos, forming brilliant star rivers.
This cosmos not only had various galaxies and nebulae, but even mysterious celestial bodies like black holes and white holes were forming. Every planet seemed to contain infinite vitality, as if gestating endless mysteries.
What was even more amazing was that this cosmos was not a single layer, but was composed of multiple layers of space forming an incomparably massive spherical vortex.
The core area, which was also the highest layer of space, still maintained a form similar to a realm, with mountains, rivers, plants, and living creatures all present, as if it were a complete small world.
And the two outer layers were composed of multiple cosmic spaces, each cosmic space being self-contained, with unique rules and order.
The further out the cosmic space, the simpler the rules; the further in, the more perfect and complex the laws! The members of the Transmigration Chat Group witnessed all of this, and none were not amazed by Lu Yun's great power.
They knew that this was the evolution process of the Qiankun World that Lu Yun had specifically displayed for them, and it was also a rare opportunity.
They discussed it one after another, expressing their admiration and gratitude toward Lu Yun.
Yun Yao: "This... this! Big Brother Lu Yun is too awesome!"
You Fang: "At this moment, apart from 'holy cow', there are no other words to express my emotions!"
Jiang Ye: "Too shocking! Witnessing the birth of a cosmos with my own eyes, I can brag about this for a lifetime!"
Liu Chongxiao: "Sure enough, Big Brother Lu Yun has long since reached a height we cannot understand!"
Ming Xi: "Such an opportunity is too rare; everyone must cherish it well!"
Xiao Ling'er: "Stop talking, everyone. Haven't you noticed that the other big shots aren't making a sound? They are clearly all focused on gaining insights!"
The members of the Transmigration Chat Group were deeply attracted by Lu Yun's Qiankun World, and they knew this was a precious opportunity given to them by Lu Yun. They all cherished this chance very much, striving to learn and comprehend the mysteries within, hoping to achieve something in their own worlds. And at the center of the cosmos, Lu Yun stood quietly, feeling the changes in the Qiankun World, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.
He had finally reached a brand-new realm—the Cosmos Stage!
It was also at this time that he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up toward a certain direction.
His gaze passed directly through the endless cosmic space and reached into the Chaos.
He saw his own cosmos expanding rapidly, constantly devouring the nearby Chaos energy, directly throwing the nearby Chaos Space into a chaotic mess.
And in the turbulent Chaos, he was shocked to see a figure fleeing in a sorry state, attempting to escape the pull of his world! In the process of fleeing, he even manifested his true form, which was none other than a massive hollow willow tree!
"Yangmei Daxian?"
Lu Yun also felt it was quite interesting; he had not expected this fellow to be lurking near his world, and as a result of him evolving his world into a cosmos, it created such a huge commotion that it had left him in such a sorry state at this moment!
Yangmei Daxian, as an ancient living being born in Chaos, prided himself on being one of the oldest existences in the world and had always carried himself with a detached attitude. However, today he encountered unprecedented distress.
Originally, he had only come out of curiosity to explore the mysteries of the mysterious world he had discovered earlier, wanting to see what kind of existence had opened up such a world.
Yet, to his surprise, just as he was attempting to approach that world, he unexpectedly discovered that it had begun to expand violently. He was suddenly pulled by an invisible force, as if a giant hand were tugging at him, intending to drag him into that rapidly expanding world.
Yangmei Daxian was terrified; he could feel the terrifying power of that world and knew that once drawn into it, even an ancient living being like himself would likely be unable to protect himself.
Consequently, he exerted all his strength, driving his own power to transform into a streak of light, fleeing frantically through Chaos.
However, the expansion speed of that world far exceeded his imagination, as if it were supported by endless energy, constantly devouring the surrounding chaotic matter. Yangmei Daxian felt like a small boat chased by a giant wave, in danger of being swallowed at any moment.
During his flight, he had to manifest his true form, that massive hollow willow tree, attempting to use the power of his true form to resist the devouring of that world. Yet, even so, he still felt somewhat powerless.
Fortunately, after a difficult struggle, Yangmei Daxian luckily escaped the devouring of that world.
He was panting with exhaustion and filled with regret; he knew he had brought this trouble upon himself. He had originally only been curious, but he had never expected to encounter such a dangerous situation.
However, just as he thought he was safe, astonishing movements came from behind him again.
He looked back, and his eyes widened!
He saw that the world was still expanding, and the speed was getting faster and faster, as if it wanted to encompass the entire Chaos within it.
Yangmei Daxian was terrified and dared not delay for even a moment; he could only accelerate his flight again, attempting to escape this dangerous area.
His heart was filled with fear and helplessness; he knew he seemed to have stirred up a huge trouble this time, and this trouble was likely far more terrifying than he had imagined.
After all, judging by the current scale of this world, it had already far surpassed the Primordial World opened up by Pangu! He dared not imagine what kind of existence could open up such a world! He dared not even imagine how much trouble he would be in if the person who opened this world set their sights on him!
If he could escape this time, he would definitely stay far away in the future and never come here again!...
Lu Yun witnessed the entire process of Yangmei fleeing in distress and also felt it was quite interesting.
However, he actually did not have any intention of really doing anything to Yangmei.
In reality, he had no time to chase Yangmei now because, in order to accelerate the development of the universe, his mind had been constantly maintaining the Time Acceleration within the universe.
Except for the area where he stood, the time of the entire universe had been accelerated by him to one hundred thousand times! It was also because of this that the cosmic evolution seen by everyone in the Transmigration Chat Group was so rapid.
And because of the Time Acceleration, the universe had now tended to stabilize.
Yet, only one day had passed in the Great Desolation.
Lu Yun was not in a hurry to go out; instead, because he did not know when he would return, Hongjun over there still dared not act rashly.
Taking this opportunity, he let the members in the group gain insights; whatever they could comprehend would be considered his reward for the various suggestions they had previously given him, which had triggered many system tasks for him! Moreover, only when the horizons of the group members were raised could they continue to trigger more high-level tasks for him in the future! Because the evolution of the entire universe had his many incarnations to do the work for him, Lu Yun's true self even had the leisure to check the situation of the battle between the Human Race and the Demon Race on the Primordial Land.
Through his other incarnations left on the Primordial Land, he could clearly see the current battle situation.
The Primordial Land.
The battle situation between the Demon Race and the Human Race had already reversed.
Originally, the Demon Race relied on their powerful troop strength and demonic power, attempting to crush the Human Race in one fell swoop, but with the addition of the human army and people like Zhulong and the Queen Mother of the West, the Demon Race began to retreat steadily.
Especially after Lu Yun had a flash of inspiration and forced Taishang Laojun to join the battle, which led to Guiche being accidentally knocked unconscious, a flaw appeared in the defense line of the demon army, and the Human Race seized the opportunity to launch a fierce charge.
With Lu Yun's twelve incarnations manifesting the Pangu True Body, and the powerful support of Fuxi, Zhenyuanzi, Zhulong, the Queen Mother of the West, and others, the human army was as unstoppable as a tiger descending a mountain; the demon army retreated steadily on the battlefield and suffered heavy casualties.
Jiuying and Chitie among the Ten Great Demon Sages of the Demon Race also unfortunately fell in the battle, and other Demon Sages were also injured one after another, which greatly weakened the strength of the Demon Race's top brass. Seeing the Demon Sages falling one after another, the demon warriors' morale dropped to the extreme, and their will to fight began to collapse.
On the other hand, the Human Race's side had high morale and vigorous fighting spirit; the army fought more bravely as they went, constantly expanding their results. Under the powerful offensive, the demon army was unable to turn the tide, and their defeat was sealed.
Di Jun and Taiyi stood at the edge of the battlefield, witnessing the rout of the demon army, their hearts filled with anger and helplessness. They never imagined that a battle they originally thought was a sure victory would end up in such a state.
Taiyi also had no heart to fight and could not help but look at Di Jun, unable to refrain from asking: "Brother, what should we do now?"
Di Jun naturally could not accept the current situation either, but at this moment, it was impossible to turn the tide, and even if they wanted to flee, they might not be able to take many demons with them.
He was also at a loss for a moment.
Seeing this, Fuxi could not help but sigh lightly and said: "Di Jun, admit defeat!"
Di Jun turned his head abruptly to look at him, his eyes filled with killing intent, and shouted: "Admit defeat? At this point, even if this Emperor admits defeat, the Human Race will not let us go. It would be better to fight the Human Race to the death! Even if we die, we won't let the Human Race have it easy!"
Hearing this, other members of the Demon Race also showed a determination to die, wanting to fight the Human Race to the bitter end!
Fuxi shook his head lightly and said: "Why bother? As long as you are willing to surrender, I can plead for you and let Lu Yun give you a way to survive!"
