Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 124 Taihao: Hongjun, is running away all you've got?

Long ago, Taihao fused the supreme-grade Pure World White Lotus and Merit Golden Lotus into a lotus platform, which was classified as a Chaos Spiritual Treasure and had the ability to purify and erase everything.

Thus, another supreme treasure-level lotus platform was added, namely the Creation Green Lotus. The purifying ability of the fused lotus platform not only did not disappear, but was actually enhanced.

In addition to these, it also has some other abilities.

For example, absorbing everything!

At this moment, not only the River of Destiny, but even the Chaos Qi was being absorbed by the Chaos Green Lotus, and at an incredibly strange speed!

Taihao sensed it for a moment and discovered the clues.

To be precise, the Chaos Green Lotus is not only absorbing, but also transforming! Transforming into what?

Transform it into the nutrients needed for the growth of the Chaos Green Lotus!

This lotus platform can absorb anything!

This includes, but is not limited to, laws, supernatural powers, spiritual energy, and even things that are ethereal and intangible, all of which are within its absorption range, not to mention the River of Destiny!

However, whether the river of fate is unpredictable or not, it cannot escape the salvation of the Chaos Green Lotus.

There is nothing that the Chaos Green Lotus cannot absorb.

Taihao even had a misconception that as long as this Chaos Green Lotus was given enough time to absorb in the chaos, it would eventually transform into a Thirty-Sixth Grade on its own!

Throughout the entire process, no further resources are needed, nor is any cultivator required to take care of it; it can basically transform on its own!

This shows just how mysterious the Chaos Green Lotus is!

At this moment, Hongjun was shocked by this mystery. In an instant, he thought of many things, including why Pangu was able to surpass other chaotic demons and gods and open the heavens with his power!

Pangu was indeed powerful, unparalleled in the world.

However, without the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Jade Disc of Creation, and the Chaos Green Lotus, these three innate treasures, he would not have been able to forcefully slay all the Chaos Demons.

If the Heaven-Opening Axe increased Pangu's killing power, and the Creation Jade Disc increased Pangu's ability to comprehend, then the Chaos Green Lotus, through its transformative power, was refining Pangu's essence, energy, and spirit!

Only when these three elements are combined can Pangu possess the power to slay three thousand demon gods.

At this moment, although the Chaos Green Lotus that Taihao possessed was not complete, it was definitely a huge threat to Hongjun.

Or rather, this applies to all monks.

Even if the three Chaos Gods were to revive, it would be difficult to resist them, and the time would come.

Is Hongjun now comparable to Shichen?

It's probably going to be even worse.

At his peak, his realm might even surpass that of Taihao, reaching the peak of Hunyuan, a full one-smaller realm higher.

Even so, he still harbored some apprehension towards the Chaos Green Lotus.

Then there's no need to mention Hongjun.

His fear wasn't just a simple matter of being wary; it was terror.

His former nonchalance seems to have vanished somewhere, and it's questionable whether he can maintain that demeanor after this battle.

After all, he had experienced far more fear than usual over the years.

"Taihao! You've been plotting this all along!"

Hongjun said, both surprised and angry.

Even as he spoke, he did not relinquish control over the River of Destiny, and was extremely eager to separate the Chaos Green Lotus from it.

But his efforts were clearly futile and impossible to achieve.

If it is a Chaos Green Lotus, it is fine if no one controls it, and there is a high chance that it can be separated. If you are willing to spend a lot of time, you can even refine it!

Unfortunately, this Chaos Green Lotus was not unclaimed.

The being that controls it is even more powerful than Hongjun himself.

Under such circumstances, Hongjun couldn't think of any good solution and could only watch as the power of the laws in the River of Fate changed little by little and decreased bit by bit.

Hongjun knew very well that if things continued like this, the River of Destiny would eventually be exhausted and then dry up!

Without the amplification of the River of Fate, it would be almost impossible for Hongjun to fight Taihao again.

Then, as time went on, Hongjun's expression grew increasingly grim.

Because another unpleasant thing was discovered.

Hongjun discovered that the Chaos Green Lotus was not simply absorbing energy, but was even nourishing Taihao. In just a short while, Taihao, whose aura had weakened due to the battle, was now recovering!

One goes and another comes, one waxes and the other wanes.

Hongjun was at an even greater disadvantage, and his momentum was growing weaker and weaker.

For a moment, he really seemed to have no other choice.

Even at this point, Taihao remained vigilant, for he knew very well that Hongjun definitely had a backup plan. Even if this backup plan was not about supernatural combat or other methods to retaliate against Taihao, Taihao still had to be extremely cautious.

Taihao did not want to leave any future troubles. If possible, he hoped that Hongjun would die completely, not to mention his true spirit, but even a speck of dust in his physical form should be completely erased.

It's not that Taihao was afraid of Hongjun, but simply that he didn't want to leave any future troubles.

Under these circumstances, Hongjun's momentum gradually weakened.

But if we really have to talk about it, the biggest change has been in the river of fate.

In that short time, the River of Destiny dimmed considerably, and the laws of destiny within it became not only thinner but also less pure.

Correspondingly, Hongjun's strength declined again.

And it's not just a slight decrease, it's a significant decrease!

Strangely, Hongjun became calm at this moment, his expression no longer as panicked as before, and he could even speak in a relaxed tone.

"Fellow Daoist Taihao, you are indeed extraordinary. This old Daoist is completely convinced!"

Taihao raised an eyebrow but remained silent, for he knew that Hongjun had more to say.

Sure enough, just as Taihao was thinking, Hongjun spoke again.

"This time, I have been defeated! But my wish, fellow Daoist, to have me utterly destroyed, is probably impossible to fulfill!"

"Because the old man calculated defeat before the battle even began, he was not without a backup plan!"

As he spoke, Hongjun's aura suddenly changed!

Instead of becoming stronger, it becomes weaker!

Hongjun actually intended to escape!

Hongjun is actually trying to escape?

Who would have thought that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was looked up to and worshipped by countless cultivators, would feel fear at this moment!

Hongjun was already finding it difficult to resist Taihao, and after falling behind in terms of treasures, he found it even more difficult to resist.

Not to mention, Taihao's leading treasure is very close to the Chaos Treasure!

With this treasure in hand, Hongjun knew clearly that he had no chance of winning, so even before his momentum weakened, he had already begun to consider retreating.

However, at that time, his resolve to withdraw was not firm enough.

He only became determined to back down when he truly realized that things were hopeless.

It wasn't that Hongjun was timid, but rather that he was very aware of his situation.

He knew perfectly well that if he stayed here, the final outcome would not be good; his years of planning and countless years of hard work would all be in vain.

This is something Hongjun absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to use the last resort, just to get out of Taihao's blockade.

This method is quite similar to the idea of ​​Tongtian self-destructing his physical form.

However, to some extent, there are also fundamental differences.

Tongtian's self-destruction was intended to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but he ultimately failed to actually detonate.

Hongjun, on the other hand, while he intended to injure Taihao, his primary goal was to preserve his power as much as possible for the next opportunity.

Therefore, the secret technique he is now using can be said to be prepared for escape.

This secret method has never been seen by anyone before.

After all, the number of times Hongjun needed to use such a secret technique was so small that even counting on one's fingers wouldn't be enough to describe how rare it was.

To be honest, since Hongjun became conscious, this was the only time.

That is, when Pangu created the world!

This time, it's the second time!

Taihao used various means to make Hongjun feel indescribable pressure, the pressure of which was comparable to that when Pangu created the world!

"Hongjun! Your so-called backup plan, was it just an escape?"

Taihao laughed loudly, his tone mocking.
