Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Kong Xuan's heart sank. He hadn't expected the monster to catch up, which made him even more uneasy.

For some reason, Kong Xuan felt uneasy as soon as he saw the monster and didn't want to confront it at all.

Kong Xuan then unleashed the White Lotus Escape Technique to its fullest extent, transforming himself into a blurry streak of light, leaving a series of afterimages in the void, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown tens of thousands of miles away.

However, the monster behind him followed closely, its speed no less than his own.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing!" Kong Xuan cursed inwardly.

It should be noted that Kong Xuan's understanding of the Five Elements Dao is now close to perfection, and the Five-Colored Divine Light has benefited from it. It can be said that it can devour anything, even the power of a saint, and even the spiritual treasures of a saint, but it is helpless against this monster.

That attack was like a mud ox entering the sea, without causing the slightest ripple. The monster's form didn't even falter at all before it was easily shattered. This scene made Kong Xuan somewhat frightened.

Not to mention the monster's twisted and pieced-together limbs and faceless face, everything about it exudes an eeriness.

What terrified Kong Xuan the most was that the monster had no aura. Although the Four Extremes Venerable could protect his physical body from direct attacks, the fear from the depths of his soul lingered.

In Kong Xuan's view, this monster seemed to represent some kind of primal and indescribable threat, beyond his comprehension.

The innate divine intuition rarely makes mistakes, and Kong Xuan also had great faith in his intuition, which is why Kong Xuan decisively chose to run away!

Unexpectedly, the monster caught up with them. In that case, Kong Xuan once again mobilized all his magical power and increased the speed of the White Lotus Escape Technique to a higher level.

Moreover, he no longer fled in a straight line, but kept changing direction, sometimes making sharp turns, sometimes diving down, trying to shake off the monster behind him.

However, no matter how Kong Xuan changed his appearance, the monster could always accurately pinpoint his location and follow closely behind.

Its roar grew closer and closer, carrying a piercing frequency. This roar even gave Kong Xuan the illusion that the monster's voice was about to penetrate the Four Extremes Venerable's defenses and reach his sea of ​​consciousness.

Of course, this was just an illusion. No matter how horrible the monster's roar was, it would never actually penetrate the Four Extremes Square Venerable.

Defensive Chaos Treasures cannot be penetrated by a few roars.

Although Kong Xuan knew that this feeling was just an illusion, he still felt his primordial spirit trembling slightly.

Kong Xuan glanced behind him and saw a cold glint in the monster's eyes. Although it had no facial features, Kong Xuan could feel a strong killing intent locked onto him.

This made Kong Xuan wonder if the monster was specifically targeting him, and if its goal was to kill him!

"It seems that if I don't fight to the death today, I'll have no chance of escaping!" Kong Xuan hardened his heart. Originally, he wanted to avoid a direct confrontation, but now he had no choice but to prepare for the worst.

He stopped his escape, turned around, and with the Four Directions Square Venerable above his head and five-colored divine light flowing around him, he stared intently at the faceless monster that was approaching step by step.

Since there was no way to get rid of it, the only option was to confront it head-on! Without hesitation, Kong Xuan formed hand seals, and the five-colored divine light condensed into an extremely dazzling beam of light, carrying terrifying power that could devour everything, and blasted towards the strange monster.

The beam of light arrived in an instant, striking the monster squarely in the chest.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, to Kong Xuan's surprise, this time the Anti-Five-Colored Divine Light did not disappear into nothingness as before, but instead pierced through the monster's body, leaving a huge, transparent hole!
Kong Xuan was stunned.

Is it that simple?

The monster that was so arrogant just now, which even my strongest divine power couldn't shake in the slightest, was actually pierced through by me just like that?

The contrast was so sudden that Kong Xuan could hardly believe it.

However, the next second, Kong Xuan clearly felt that everything around him had changed strangely. He found that time around him had begun to reverse wildly, as if time was being manipulated by an invisible hand, and everything was flowing backward.

Kong Xuan watched as the huge hole in the monster's chest slowly healed as time went by, the flesh wriggling and regaining its luster, until it was completely intact as before he had launched his attack!

Kong Xuan's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that this monster had mastered the Great Dao of Time. No wonder it could withstand his attack.

This ability is simply heaven-defying; no matter how much damage he causes, as long as the monster is willing, he can restore everything to the state before the attack occurred.

A sense of despair instantly spread. Although the Four Extremes Square Venerable above Kong Xuan's head could withstand all of the monster's direct attacks, he was helpless against this monster's ability to be truly harmed and even to rewind time.

After its body had fully recovered, the monster did not pause at all, and once again let out a piercing roar, bringing an even stronger sense of oppression as it pounced on Kong Xuan.

His speed did not slow down in the slightest; the pieced-together body drew a strange arc in the air, as if to tear Kong Xuan apart.

Kong Xuan gritted his teeth, frantically searching for a solution in his mind.

Since the attack was ineffective, what should be done? He possessed the Five-Colored Divine Light, which was said to be able to destroy anything, and theoretically could even take away the magic treasures of saints, but this monster could easily resist it and even reverse the timeline.

"The Great Dao of Time." A flash of inspiration struck Kong Xuan.

The Three Thousand Great Daos are inherently neither strong nor weak; the only strong ones are the cultivators who control these Great Daos.

Kong Xuan thought back carefully. The anti-five-colored divine light just now, besides piercing through the monster's body, seemed to have taken something away as well. Although it was weak, the feeling of being devoured was real.

Kong Xuan closed his eyes and sensed the changes within his body. He quickly confirmed that the Five-Colored Divine Light had indeed devoured a trace of the monster's magic power. Even if time were reversed, the magic power he had devoured had not been taken back.

In other words, this monster's control over the Great Dao of Time is not yet perfect, probably only around 95%.

Since that's the case, there's another way. As long as he keeps attacking and exhausts all of the monster's mana, and replenishes his own mana through the monster's mana, there might be a chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Kong Xuan's eyes became firm.

"I'll see how many times you can rewind!" Kong Xuan roared, his entire body radiating five-colored divine light once more, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness. Since he couldn't discern the truth, he would resort to the most primitive and effective method!
Kong Xuan then held nothing back, unleashing a barrage of Five-Colored Divine Light upon the faceless monster, each attack delivered with full force, striving to penetrate its body to the greatest extent possible.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The deafening roar echoed in the air as five-colored beams of light poured down like a storm.

Each time Kong Xuan's attack succeeded, the monster's body would be pierced, and Kong Xuan would seize the time to refine the monster's magic power.

But almost at the same time, Kong Xuan could clearly feel that time around him was rewinding wildly, and the monster's wounds healed rapidly, as if nothing had ever happened.

A shadow fell over Kong Xuan's heart. This monster possessed the power of a saint, while he had not yet become a saint. Every attack that could harm a saint required him to exert all his strength.

Although the Anti-Five-Colored Divine Light is said to be able to devour everything, and it does indeed strip away and devour some power from monsters each time it works, the feedback to him is like a drop in the ocean.

Kong Xuan could clearly sense that the monster consumed some power each time it rewound time, but the rate at which it consumed power was negligible compared to the rate at which his mana was depleted.

"Although the Great Dao of Time cannot fully recover the devoured mana after reversing time 95%, the mana I devoured was too little, not enough to allow me to recover." Thinking of this, Kong Xuan's heart sank. If this continued, he would surely be defeated.

Soon, Kong Xuan's magical power was exhausted. He was panting heavily, his face was pale, and the five-colored divine light around him had dimmed completely.

He has absolutely no chance of winning this endless war of attrition.

Kong Xuan's attack stopped, and the monster stopped using the Great Dao of Time to repair its body. Instead, it roared and charged towards Kong Xuan.

A loud crash resounded as the monster slammed into the Four Extremes Venerable.

The Four Extremes Square Venerable remained unmoved, hovering quietly above Kong Xuan's head, emitting a gentle, mysterious yellow light, steadily blocking each of the monster's attacks.

This Chaos Treasure possesses astonishing defensive power; even without Kong Xuan's magical power to drive it, it is sufficient to withstand all attacks from those below the Heavenly Dao Realm.

The monster seemed to have noticed this as well. It roared, its face, devoid of features, showed no expression, but Kong Xuan could sense its stubbornness and rage.

It relentlessly pounded on the Four Extremes Square Zun, its twisted limbs striking the cauldron with dull thuds, yet it could not budge it an inch.

The situation reached a stalemate. Kong Xuan's magical power was exhausted, and he could no longer harm the monster, while the monster was blocked by the Four Extremes Venerable and could not do anything to Kong Xuan.

However, this stalemate was extremely disadvantageous for Kong Xuan. He could feel that being shrouded in the eerie aura emanating from this monster for so long, even with the protection of the Four Extremes Venerable, slowed down the recovery of his mana and left him mentally exhausted.

There is no doubt that Kong Xuan is now trapped, and what he is facing is a bizarre existence that is incomprehensible and invincible.

This is more despairing than any pure crushing force.

All he can do now is passively defend and wait for rescue.

Kong Xuan looked at the monster that was constantly bombarding the Four Extremes Venerable and began to think about who to ask for help.

He has a jade tablet given to him by his master that can summon the goddess Nuwa and the goddess Houtu. Should he summon these two goddesses directly?
To be honest, Kong Xuan felt that summoning them was a bit of a waste. These monsters did not prove their Dao through laws, and their physical strength was definitely not as strong as that of a saint. They only had the magical power of a saint.

"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Let's have our junior brother Shennong help!"

"That's it! Junior Brother Shennong is just right. Although the other junior brothers and sisters are strong, none of them have attained sainthood. They wouldn't be of much use against such a strange and powerful monster. Only Junior Brother Shennong is a saint of humanity. Dealing with this monster shouldn't be a problem for him." Thinking of this, Kong Xuan no longer hesitated. He took out a jade talisman from his pocket and activated it with his divine sense.

The jade talisman flashed and instantly traversed endless space, delivering his plea for help to Shennong.

Shennong, who was in seclusion in the mortal realm digesting the gains from his battle with Yuanshi Tianzun, had a slight change in expression after receiving a message from Kong Xuan.

Shennong knew his senior brother's character well and knew that he was not one to ask for help lightly. For his senior brother to send such a signal, he must have encountered an insurmountable crisis.

Therefore, upon receiving Kong Xuan's message, She Nong did not hesitate at all, directly tearing through space and descending in his true form!

As a spatial rift appeared, Shennong's imposing figure emerged from it.

The primordial world today naturally suppresses saints who lack the merit of creation and the protection of great fortune.

Even though Shennong possessed human virtues and human fortune, his cultivation was suppressed upon arriving in the primordial world, reaching only the peak of the first level of the Saint realm.

Shennong glanced at the faceless monster before him, and even as a sage of humanity, he felt a deep-seated unease, as if the monster carried some repulsive aura that was incompatible with the laws of the primordial world.

Shennong didn't say much, nor did he have time to think much. The Shennong Cauldron was instantly summoned and launched an attack directly at the monster!

The monster roared, clearly sensing the immense power contained within the Shennong Cauldron.

Instead of avoiding it, it twisted its body and, at an incredible speed, chose to engage Shennong in hand-to-hand combat!

In an instant, the two saint-level beings were locked in combat.

The Shennong Cauldron, imbued with the power to create the world, caused space to tremble with each impact, while the monster, with its bizarre limbs and incomprehensible time-reversal ability, repeatedly deflected Shennong's attacks.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides exchanged hundreds of blows, each collision containing a power capable of destroying the world.

"Senior Brother, this monster is no ordinary creature. I'm afraid I can't defeat it. You should leave first!" Shennong turned to Kong Xuan during the battle and said.

Kong Xuan also knew the importance and urgency of the matter. Although Shennong's cultivation was suppressed, he was, after all, a saint in his true form. Even if he couldn't defeat this monster, holding him off would definitely not be a problem.

Without further hesitation, Kong Xuan swallowed all the elixirs and medicines he had on him to restore his mana. After his mana was restored to some extent, he immediately activated the White Lotus Escape Technique, instantly transforming into a streak of light and fleeing the battlefield at top speed.

Only after leaving the Mengjin Pass area and completely escaping the monster's aura did Kong Xuan dare to stop and gasp for breath.

He glanced back; the sky was still shrouded in the ripples of the battle between the sages. At this moment, Kong Xuan still felt a lingering, inexplicable fear brought about by the monster's eerie aura.

"What on earth is this thing? Even Junior Brother Shennong couldn't defeat it." Kong Xuan's expression was unusually solemn as he said this, clearly still shaken by what he had just encountered. Such a bizarre monster was truly a headache.
