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

Chapter 70 Vanished into Ashes

The hairs on Dongwanggong's body stood on end, and he hurriedly retreated. But just then, a loud bell rang out, a sound that seemed to resonate from the depths of one's heart.

Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell with all his might, causing Dongwanggong to pause slightly. Just then, a colossal creature burst forth from the Northern Sea.

It was an enormous Kun fish, completely black, huge yet incredibly fast, crashing headlong into Dongwanggong.

This Kun fish is actually the benevolent incarnation of the Kunpeng, created by the severing of its own body.

The true form of the Kunpeng is quite mysterious, with two transformations corresponding to Yin and Yang: one is the body of the Kun fish, and the other is the body of the Peng bird.

However, Kunpeng has only just severed his good intentions and is using the body of the Kun fish to bear them. If he were to sever his evil intentions next, Kunpeng would intend to use the body of the Peng bird to bear them.

No sooner said than done, Kunpeng's benevolent incarnation suddenly burst forth, heading straight for Dongwanggong, who was being immobilized by the Chaos Bell.

How could Dongwanggong possibly withstand it? In a single moment, he was crushed and shattered by the enormous Kun fish.

"boom!"

However, just as the Eastern King's body was crushed, a beam of light suddenly shot out.

That was the primordial spirit of the Eastern King Duke.

The spirit of the Eastern King Duke, wrapped in a dragon-headed cane, desperately tried to escape upwards, but where could he escape to in this great formation?

A huge golden claw appeared overhead, reaching out to grab at the primordial spirit of the Eastern King Duke.

Di Jun has finally made his move.

Seeing the enormous golden crow's claws coming at him, Dong Wanggong was utterly desperate. He roared and was about to self-destruct his primordial spirit.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the entire Hunyuan Heluo Formation suddenly trembled violently, boom!

At this moment, the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation seemed to be made of paper, forcibly torn apart.

A dazzling burst of starlight shone down.

Di Jun was about to capture Dong Wang Gong, but at this moment, the Hunyuan Heluo Formation was broken.

However, he was also implicated, and his movements involuntarily paused.

At the same time, a giant hand, seemingly composed of boundless starlight, descended from the sky.

The world went dark.

Dongwanggong felt as if everything before him had vanished—time, space, the world, the stars—all disappeared.

Only a gigantic hand, reaching to the heavens and the earth, descended from the sky and grabbed him.

Dongwanggong wanted to self-destruct his primordial spirit, but at this moment he couldn't even muster the thought; everything was imprisoned.

Although the giant hand of stars struck later, it arrived first, grabbing the Eastern King Duke's primordial spirit into it.

It even clenched its fist and clashed fiercely with Di Jun's Golden Crow Claw, knocking the Golden Crow Claw back.

Then he casually put it back.

"Ziwei!" Dijun shouted angrily.

Three figures flew up simultaneously, and the starry sky above them seemed to hang incredibly low at that moment.

Above each of the great stars stood a star lord.

Countless stars surround the Ziwei Star, the head of all stars, and on this star stands an emperor whose majesty is no less than that of Di Jun.

The Ziwei Emperor, also known as the Ziwei Great Emperor.

The exchange just now clearly showed that Ziwei used the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array to break the array with the array itself, and broke the Hun Yuan He Luo Grand Array in an instant.

Then they stole the primordial spirit of the Eastern King Duke.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun."

Ziwei's voice was very calm. Beside her were Liu Er and more than ten trusted star lords. She said to Dijun, "The fate of the Eastern King Duke has run out. His fall here today is also the will of Heaven."

"However, its primordial spirit is of use to me, so I have no choice but to take action. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"

Di Jun's lips twitched. He thought to himself, "Now that the Eastern King Duke's primordial spirit is in your hands, you still ask me if I can part with it? If I say no, do you think you can give it back?"

Looking at the countless stars that had been arranged in formation, sealing off this area, Di Jun let out a breath and said, "Brother Ziwei, we are all of the same kind. Whether the Eastern King Duke died at your hands or at mine, it makes no difference."

"I'm just afraid that you, fellow Daoist, are too kind-hearted and might save the Eastern King Duke, which could lead to karmic consequences and trouble in the future."

"Um."

Ziwei nodded, her gaze sweeping over Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng. Dijun and Taiyi seemed unaffected.

Kunpeng felt a slight tremor, thinking to himself, "The strength of this Ziwei Emperor is indeed far greater than that of Dijun and Taiyi, and he also possesses this heaven-defying formation. In the primordial world, who can be his match?"

"I'm afraid even the Xuanhuang Daoist isn't as good as him, right? Strange, this person is even stranger than the Xuanhuang Daoist. He didn't attend a single one of the three sermons, yet his cultivation level is so high."

Kunpeng was pondering this, planning to find an opportunity to get close to this emperor and see if he could win him over, so that he could gain a foothold in the demon race and seize more power.

Unexpectedly, Ziwei's words at this moment stunned him: "Fellow Daoist Dijun, I am devoted to cultivating the Dao and do not wish to be entangled in karma."

"But you are different. You have lofty ambitions and can lead our demon race to true prosperity."

"So, fellow Daoist, in exchange for the Eastern King Duke's primordial spirit, I will give you the Zhou Tian Star Array, how about that?"

"Within this week, you can command billions of stars."

Kunpeng was dumbfounded.

Di Jun and Tai Yi were also dumbfounded. Even all the star lords were filled with doubt.

She looked at Ziwei with surprise and doubt.

But no one could believe that Ziwei would make such a decision, completely handing over the starry sky she had so painstakingly seized and the great formation she had mastered?

The clash between the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation and the Hun Yuan He Luo Formation was quite obvious just now.

Although the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation was also very powerful, trapping the Eastern King Duke within it, there was no possibility of breaking the formation at all.

However, the Zhou Tian Star Formation can be broken with a single blow.

It completely overwhelmed the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Formation.

It can be said that with such a great formation, Ziwei is practically invincible throughout the primordial world.

As long as no one becomes a saint, no one can restrain him.

But now, he insists on taking out such a grand formation and giving it to Di Jun.

Even Emperor Jun couldn't believe it.

The unexpected windfall left him completely bewildered.

"Brother Dao is joking, isn't he?" After a long while, Di Jun finally recovered. He looked at Ziwei and saw that Ziwei's expression was calm and showed no sign of regret. He couldn't help but probe.

"I'm not joking."

Ziwei shook her head, imprisoned the primordial spirit of the Eastern King Duke, and gently touched it with her finger, instantly shaking out the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke.

Then, he used his magic to envelop the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke and floated down to land in front of Di Jun, saying, "The primordial spirit belongs to me, but the life and death of Fellow Daoist Donghua is still up to you to decide."

Di Jun was even more confused about Zi Wei's thoughts. However, since Zi Wei wanted to give it to him, he thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy was behind it, so he stopped thinking about it and accepted it.

Di Jun flicked his finger, unleashing a burst of true solar fire that instantly reduced the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke to ashes.

This leader of the male immortals has now completely vanished, his death even more utterly devastating than before.

After all, at least the original fate left behind a true spirit, allowing for reincarnation. This time, however, even that true spirit was gone, and the creature was completely annihilated.
