Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 66 The Struggle

Xuanhuang's condition became increasingly dire. Terrifying fluctuations caused the surrounding chaos to stagnate, like ocean waves that surged and subsided at times.

The powerful beings from all corners of heaven and earth all probed the chaos with their divine senses, and upon seeing this, everyone held their breath.

Is Xuanhuang losing control of his power and reaping the consequences, exploding and dying?

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were becoming increasingly uneasy.

"Is Brother Xuanhuang really about to collapse?" Zhen Yuanzi asked Hongyun telepathically, looking at Xuanhuang and holding the Earth Book in his hand.

Hongyun remained silent, her gaze fixed on Xuanhuang, though her expression betrayed her anxiety.

They had known Xuanhuang for a very long time, and their feelings for each other were quite deep.

Now, they can only watch helplessly as Xuanhuang suffers alone, unable to endure anything.

This feeling is incredibly painful and oppressive.

And so, as time passed little by little, suddenly, at a certain moment, all the energy fluctuations vanished from Xuanhuang's body.

This sudden change startled everyone, but they quickly calmed down.

Has Xuanhuang subdued that power?

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, Boom! A loud bang, accompanied by an extremely terrifying explosion, instantly shattered the vast chaos.

The chaotic energy shattered, giving rise to earth, water, fire, and wind, which raged wildly.

"ah!!!"

Zhen Yuanzi roared furiously, activating the Earth Book with all his might, and the Earth Book burst forth with a dazzling yellow light.

They protected Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun together.

The terrifying explosion, with its boundless surge of earth, water, fire, and wind, did nothing to harm the two of them.

But at this moment, the two of them didn't care about any of that. They desperately rushed towards the place where the Xuanhuang exploded!

At the same time, the enormous sound of Xuanhuang's self-destruction, along with the powerful impact, surged like a tsunami, crashing against the membrane of the primordial world.

All of them were transmitted into the primordial world.

The entire primordial world seemed to tremble at this moment. And then, countless powerful beings couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Xuanhuang finally couldn't withstand that terrifying energy and was forced to explode.

The Queen Mother of the West had reached the final moment in suppressing the King Duke of the East, but this caused her to fail at the last minute, allowing the King Duke of the East to escape.

The Queen Mother of the West also rushed into the chaos.

"Is Xuanhuang really finished?" In the Kunlun Mountains, Yuanshi asked, his tone still carrying a hint of disbelief.

"It was in this way after all." Tongtian gritted his teeth, seemingly feeling extremely sorry for Xuanhuang.

Lao Tzu thought for a moment and then said, "Perhaps, but I don't believe he will really perish like this."

"He was given a seat by the teacher."

Lao Tzu waved his sleeve, and a Tai Chi diagram flew out from it, which then transformed into a golden bridge.

One side of the golden bridge landed in front of him.

On the other side, however, it stretches across the void, reaching a place of unknown distance.

"Let's go, let's take a look," Lao Tzu said, and then stepped onto the Golden Bridge.

Yuanshi and Tongtian quickly arrived at the Golden Bridge.

The golden bridge transformed into a beam of golden light, carrying the three people, and vanished instantly.

Moreover, there are Mount Sumeru, Mount Phoenix, the Sun Star, the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Northern Sea, the Cloud Dream Marsh, and so on.

There is a great power temple wherever there is one.

Countless powerful beings also rushed towards Chaos, eager to witness with their own eyes whether Xuanhuang had truly perished.

Even some ancestral witches came to join in the fun.

Meanwhile, in the chaos, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun searched frantically, but could not find any trace of Xuanhuang.

Unconsciously, their hearts sank.

Could it be that Xuanhuang really exploded and perished?

"Certainly!"

Lao Tzu arrived in the chaos, pointed to the earth, water, fire, and wind that were overflowing and surging all around.

Instantly, beams of golden light shot out from the golden bridge beneath him, resembling arched bridges.

Wherever it flies, the earth, water, fire, and wind are fixed in place, then calm down and return to the chaotic energy.

The Taiji Diagram, one of the three great treasures of creation, is the most effective at restraining earth, water, fire, and wind.

Although Lao Tzu's actions did not eliminate all the earth, water, fire, and wind, they did suppress a large-scale uprising.

The scene gradually became clearer.

At this time, many powerful beings also arrived one after another.

There are the brothers Jieyin and Zhunti from Mount Sumeru, the brothers Dijun and Taiyi from the Sun Star, the siblings Fuxi and Nuwa from Phoenix Perch Mountain, the Great God Leize from Yunmeng Marsh, the Daoist Styx from the Netherworld Blood Sea, and the Daoist Kunpeng from the Northern Sea.

There's also the Queen Mother of the West, and so on.

These people are all at the Quasi-Saint level. As for the more powerful beings, since their strength has not yet reached that level, they are a little further away at this time.

The atmosphere in the room was quite heavy at this moment.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three treasures floating in the chaos: a bead, a sword, and a bamboo staff.

Although no one recognized the bead, everyone recognized the sword and the bamboo staff.

The sword is the Hunyuan Sword, a supreme innate treasure bestowed upon Xuanhuang by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. The bamboo staff is Xuanhuang's treasure for proving his Dao.

At this moment, there was no trace of Xuanhuang, only these three treasures floating in the chaos.

Does this mean that Xuanhuang really perished?

Streams of divine sense searched relentlessly, yet they could not find any trace of Xuanhuang's aura.

This only made everyone's already restless hearts even more uncontrollable.

At this moment, Hongyun couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Gentlemen, my brother's life is still uncertain, do you really intend to covet his treasures?"

Having said that, he made a gesture to protect the three treasures.

But just as Hongyun was about to make a move, powerful divine senses instantly locked onto both him and Zhen Yuanzi.

Although Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi were closest to the three treasures, they both felt a strong sense of impending death.

That's because everyone had murderous intent towards them.

If they dare to make any move to take those three treasures, there is no doubt that the attack from the crowd will come in the next moment.

Zhen Yuanzi grunted and activated the Earth Book to its maximum, a thick yellow light protecting him and Hongyun.

However, he dared not act rashly.

With so many powerful beings present, no matter how strong his Earth Book was, it absolutely could not withstand the combined attack of everyone.

Seeing his dearest friend die tragically, and even his treasures being stolen and divided up, Zhen Yuanzi was filled with extreme rage.

"Hongyun, don't be impulsive, wait a bit. They're not a united front."

Zhen Yuanzi said to Hongyun, "Moreover, I don't believe that Brother Xuanhuang would perish like this."
