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

Chapter 132 The Three Pure Ones Flee, the Two Realms Unite

Zhunti asked even more cautiously.

"May I ask the Venerable One, what about Master Hongjun...?"

"He has lost! He is no longer in chaos!"

Before Zhunti could finish speaking, Taihao coldly interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti was even more frightened.

Then, in the next moment, Taihao seemed to have thought of something, and his voice suddenly rang out, not only in the Taihao Realm, but also in the Lesser Primordial World.

"Hongjun has departed; the two realms should now unite!"

In an instant, both worlds were shocked!

Taihao's voice, like the descent of the Great Dao, spread throughout the two Primordial Worlds in an instant, startling all living beings in both worlds.

Hongjun has already left?

What does this mean?

Hongjun has fallen?

Countless cultivators had the same thought when they heard these four words.

But how is that possible?

That's the Dao Ancestor!

In the eyes of many cultivators, Hongjun is equivalent to the Heavenly Dao; when he appears, it is as if the Heavenly Dao has descended.

If he were to perish, wouldn't that be equivalent to the fall of the Heavenly Dao?

But how could the Way of Heaven possibly fall?

Unless the Little Primordial Era completely disappears.

The problem is that after Hongjun disappeared, although the Little Primordial World was affected, it was far from being on the verge of collapse.

Even setting aside Hongjun's status as the representative of the Heavenly Dao, with Hongjun's abilities, he shouldn't have perished so easily.

At this moment, all beings in both realms remembered Hongjun.

The image of him in my mind is always the same.

That is mysterious and powerful!

This applies not only to ordinary people, but also to primordial saints.

Even after the Three Pure Ones and others attained enlightenment, they did not feel that they could compare with Hongjun. Or rather, it was precisely because they broke through to the Hunyuan realm that they clearly realized how big the gap was.

Under such circumstances, how could Hongjun possibly perish?

There must be something wrong with this.

Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

I was even more hoping that a miracle would happen.

What miracle?

Hongjun was able to appear and rescue the two of them.

But the two were clearly overthinking it. Even though they waited a while longer, no miracle happened. Just as they had been suppressed a moment before, they remained suppressed the next.

And after a while, the two of them felt even more desperate.

In the next instant, the two were horrified to discover that the two primordial worlds were indeed beginning to merge, just as Taihao had said.

This is something only a being as powerful as Taihao could accomplish.

If it were any other cultivator, let alone merging the two primordial worlds, they wouldn't even be able to bring them closer, not even by a fraction!

But at this moment, the two primordial worlds are actually merging!

And during this process, no cultivators came out to stop it.

This further confirms Taihao's words.

If Hongjun were still alive, he would definitely come out to stop it. After all, if Taihao took the lead and allowed the two primordial worlds to merge, the result would inevitably be the disappearance of the Lesser Primordial World.

From then on, the two primordial worlds became one, namely the Taihao Realm!

Has the Little Wilderness disappeared?

When Jieyin and Zhunti realized this, they were filled with dread.

If this continues, their base camp, Mount Sumeru in the West, will be merged into the Taihao Realm. At that time, wouldn't their dojos cease to exist?

This made the two of them even more anxious.

After all, if this were the case, wouldn't their wish to revitalize the West be impossible to achieve?

However, once the two worlds merge into one, whether or not one has wishes seems to become irrelevant.

No matter what, they can't achieve it.

Because this realm is completely under the control of Taihao, let alone Jieyin and Zhunti.

They no longer even have the opportunity to entrust their primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao.

Not only them, but the Three Pure Ones are the same!

Similar to the reactions of Jieyin and Zhunti, when the Three Pure Ones and others heard Taihao's voice, their expressions and inner fear were no better.

Apart from Tongtian, who only possessed the primordial spirit and was limited by his own limitations.

Both Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi were stunned, and after they came to their senses, they fell into a deeper state of confusion, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

"What? The teacher has passed away?"

Having just escaped from the chaos and returned to the Little Primordial Dojo, he was initially unwilling to believe it.

This disbelief even caused his own magical power to become somewhat out of control, to the point that his Daoist temple, Kunlun Jade Void Palace, began to tremble.

At this moment, Yuanshi was terrified.

He hadn't even had time to process the fact that the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi had been taken away and that he had been defeated by Nuwa once again when he was utterly shocked by the news.

So much so that when he learned the next moment that his disciples had been suppressed in the Taihao Realm, he didn't react much.

Are apprentices important?

important.

But it's not that important.

At least compared to the safety of Yuan Shi himself, it was far less.

In fact, not only his disciples, but even his teacher Hongjun was the same.

In Yuan Shi's mind, no one was as important as himself.

His reaction at this moment is also related to this.

Immediately afterward, Yuanshi realized his own predicament based on the impact of Hongjun's fall.

"With Master Hongjun's demise, the two realms are about to merge into one. If I remain here, even if Daoist Taihao doesn't target me, my situation might not be much better!"

"In that case, we cannot stay here!"

In an instant, Yuanshi made up his mind and the thought of leaving arose in his heart.

Then, in the next moment, he prepared to put this idea into practice.

It seems that, to him, neither Hongjun nor his disciples were people he could discard.

Yuanshi didn't even think about his disciple's life or death anymore, and immediately began to leave, which meant taking out the primordial spirit entrusted to the Heavenly Dao.

If he wants to leave, this step is obviously the most crucial.

After all, if the primordial spirit were still within the Heavenly Dao, no matter how fast or decisive Yuan Shi was, he couldn't go very far.

To Yuanshi’s surprise and delight, his primordial spirit could be easily extracted!

Yuan Shi originally thought that extracting the primordial spirit would require a great deal of effort, since he had only attained sainthood through a grand vow, and therefore the Heavenly Dao would exert considerable restraint on him.

Unexpectedly, the primordial spirit was extracted so easily.

"In that case, I should be leaving!"

After retrieving the primordial spirit, Yuanshi waved his hand and put away the Jade Void Palace. Then, without a trace of regret, he left the Lesser Primordial World.

With this, one of the Five Saints of the Lesser Primordial World is missing.

The same applies to the Three Pure Ones.

On the other hand, after Yuanshi made his choice, Laozi also faced a choice. Although he was still in chaos, his primordial spirit was also entrusted to the Heavenly Dao of the Lesser Primordial World.

As a result, he developed the same worries as Yuan Shi.

What will happen to Hongjun's disciples after he might perish?

While Lao Tzu was still pondering the question of whether to stay or leave, someone made the choice for him in the next instant.

Fire Spirit!

The duel between the two has continued from the very beginning until now!

"The old Taoist priest intends to leave, why are you stopping me?"

In the chaos, Lao Tzu's face was unfriendly, showing obvious anger.

It's hard to imagine that someone with Lao Tzu's temperament would experience such emotions.

Clearly, he would never have done this if he hadn't been forced into it.

However, Huo Ling'er had a different explanation for his words, and did not think she had any problem.

"Stop you? The outcome is still undecided. How can continuing the duel be considered stopping you? You started the duel, so do you expect it to end at your discretion?"

Huo Ling'er said without any politeness.

As he spoke, towering flames erupted once more, carrying boundless power as they hurtled towards Laozi.

It was clear that Huo Ling'er had no intention of stopping this battle.

Upon hearing Huo Ling'er's words, Laozi was speechless.

Given his limited knowledge, he didn't know how to answer. More importantly, upon closer examination, what Huo Ling'er said wasn't without merit.

As she said, this battle was started by her father, and now he doesn't want to fight anymore, so it's normal for others to be unhappy.

The problem is, he has a compelling reason to leave.

Because if we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave at all.

Once the two primordial worlds merge into one, his primordial spirit, which had been able to break free from the Primordial Heavenly Dao, will be locked again, meaning it will be controlled by the Taihao Realm Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the original thought of being free and unrestrained after attaining enlightenment will completely vanish.

After all, being controlled by the Heavenly Dao of the Taihao Realm is tantamount to being controlled by Taihao!

This is something I absolutely cannot accept.

In fact, not only Taihao, but even Hongjun would not be able to do it.

Therefore, Lao Tzu was eager to leave.

However, he was stopped before he could leave.

The one who stopped him was someone whose cultivation level was almost the same as his.

That is, Huo Ling'er.

Although Huo Ling'er's number of treasures is not as great as Laozi's, her understanding of the laws is far superior.

It even transformed the Law of Fire, allowing it to be comprehended as a Dao principle!

A difference of just one word can have drastically different effects.

Thanks to this change, Huo Ling'er was not only not at a disadvantage when fighting Laozi, but even had a slight advantage!

This is also why Lao Tzu has felt uncomfortable all these years.

However, it is obviously impossible to quickly determine the winner based on this advantage alone, especially since Laozi still has the Xuanhuang Pagoda, making it even more impossible.

Of course, I can't just leave easily even if I want to.

Another divine fire blazed forth, so intense that even with the Xuanhuang Pagoda activated, Laozi could feel an unbearable heat. After a while, he dared not continue to endure it and could only try to escape.

But that's not all. The divine fire is not just one, and the supernatural power is not just one.

Huo Ling'er's attitude was resolute, showing that she would not give up until her father paid the price.

Seeing this, Laozi's expression became even more unpleasant.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, as if he had decided to give up something. With a determined heart, he took out the three corpses he had cut off.

Then, when Huo Ling'er was confused, she made his three corpses frantically unleash their magic power, and they became violent in an instant.

Its meaning is actually self-destruction!

It's not that the Three Pure Ones and others only have this method, but when things are hopeless, self-destruction can be the fastest way to change the course of the battle and also make the opponent wary.

Of course, this move will also have a significant impact on him.

If there were other options, I wouldn't want to end up like this.

But if he didn't do this, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Huo Ling'er in a short time, retrieve his primordial spirit, and then travel to other worlds.

Having already decided to self-destruct my three corpses, I will no longer hesitate.

Almost instantly, Huo Ling'er sensed the danger, then quickly suppressed her divine fire and summoned the Chaos Immortal Gourd to protect herself from too much damage.

At the same time, she could no longer be concerned about Lao Tzu's actions.

One can only vaguely sense Lao Tzu's presence, which gradually fades away.

Huo Ling'er merely snorted in response, showing little resentment.

Since Laozi self-destructed and escaped, her goal can be considered achieved.

After all, what she originally wanted was for me to pay the price...

Besides death, what price could be greater than the self-destruction of the three corpses? After figuring this out, Huo Ling'er stopped paying attention to the news of Laozi's escape. As far as she was concerned, as long as Laozi paid the price, that was enough.
