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

Chapter 74 A Deadly Intent

The moment the red cloud flew out of the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Xuanhuang, far away in Xikunlun, couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, sensing something in the darkness.

"Has this calamity finally arrived?" Xuanhuang frowned slightly and paused for a moment.

Just as the Queen Mother of the West was about to ask him a question, she was silenced again: "Let's continue."

Meanwhile, on the other side of Kunlun Mountain, in the East Kunlun Mountains, Laozi had already broken through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

I also vaguely sensed the changes in the heavenly secrets.

"Is the heavens about to unleash a killing intent, and another powerful being is about to perish?" Laozi's primordial spirit calculated the heavenly secrets, but it was not as clear as Xuanhuang's.

I had a vague feeling that it was similar to the changes that occurred after the fall of the Eastern King.

Laozi was startled and quickly summoned his two younger brothers, giving them some instructions.

As for the Queen Mother of the West, who was also at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, her cultivation was purely due to Xuanhuang borrowing the power of Yin and Yang origin to help her break through.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West's own cultivation was far inferior to Laozi's, let alone Xuanhuang's, and she was completely unaffected by the matter of the red clouds.

There are other powerful beings, even if they have severed one of their corpses, they are all completely unaffected at this moment.

After all, Taiyi activated the Chaos Bell, using this innate treasure to shield the secrets of heaven. If one's cultivation level is not much higher than Taiyi's, one will not be able to sense it.

Meanwhile, Hongyun left Wanshou Mountain and flew all the way to his own dojo, Huoyun Cave.

His speed was so great that only a handful of people in the vast wilderness could match it.

On this day, Hongyun had flown to a point not far from his dojo when he suddenly heard a voice shout, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, wait! I have something to say."

It was the voice of Kunpeng Daoist.

Hongyun stopped, looked at the Kunpeng that had caught up, and asked, "What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

"Ha ha."

Seeing that Hongyun had indeed stopped, Kunpeng laughed loudly, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, I am now a demon master of the demon race, and I intend to invite you to join the demon race as well."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Hongyun shook her head and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Demon Master. I don't want to join the demon race; I only want to live a carefree life."

"I see."

Kunpeng had already arrived beside Hongyun, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly attacked, slamming a palm strike at Hongyun.

Hongyun never expected Kunpeng to attack him so suddenly. He was hit by the palm and was immediately thrown into the air.

He screamed and spat out blood, having been injured by a single blow.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Kunpeng laughed loudly, but then attacked wildly, unleashing all sorts of supernatural powers at Hongyun.

"Kunpeng, you ambushed me!" Hongyun shouted angrily and began to fight Kunpeng as well.

However, Hongyun was already severely injured and his strength was greatly reduced. How could he be a match for Kunpeng?

Even the benevolent corpse that was sacrificed was swallowed whole by the giant Kun summoned by Kunpeng.

Hongyun was also aroused to its ferocity. As the giant Kun avatar swallowed its own benevolent corpse, it roared and caused its benevolent corpse to self-destruct.

Kunpeng's giant Kun form was also severely injured.

Kunpeng's eyes also turned red, and he shouted, "Hongyun, if you hadn't abdicated and harmed me, I would also be a disciple of a sage, and I could have become a sage myself."

"This is all you owe me. If you don't hand over the Primordial Purple Qi today, I'll take your life!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Hongyun self-destructed his benevolent corpse, and due to the resulting injuries, his condition was far more serious than Kunpeng's.

"Want the Primordial Purple Qi? Dream on! Kunpeng, I'll fight you to the death today!"

Suddenly, Hongyun swayed and transformed into a seemingly boundless red cloud, rushing towards Kunpeng.

Upon seeing this, Kunpeng's expression changed drastically. He also swayed his body and transformed into a giant roc in the blue sky.

With a cry, the roc spread its wings, creating a hurricane, and fiercely pounced on the boundless red clouds.

With a vicious tearing motion, the red cloud was ripped in two.

But the red clouds were fickle, and after being torn apart, they immediately surged up again, covering the entire body of the roc.

As the roc was enveloped by the red cloud, it suddenly felt powerless all over, and its magical power was being continuously drawn out.

They were greatly alarmed.

Just then, a bell rang, and the red clouds surrounding the roc paused.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dapeng shook his body, shattering the red clouds into pieces. Then he transformed back into human form, summoned the Demon Master's Palace, and slammed it down fiercely.

Poor Hongyun, frozen in place by the Chaos Bell, was utterly powerless to resist.

The red cloud itself shattered completely under the attack of the Demon Master Palace, and endless demonic lightning bombarded it, continuously destroying pieces of the red cloud.

Only a small piece of red cloud remained, which quickly burrowed into a gourd.

This gourd, however, was Hongyun's treasure for attaining enlightenment, and it was picked from a gourd vine on Buzhou Mountain.

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd.

After the remaining part of the red cloud body entered the gourd, the gourd tried to break through the void and fly away.

But just then, another bell rang.

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd was used again.

"Die!"

With a ferocious expression, Kunpeng slammed the Demon Master Palace down again, and with a fierce blow, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd shattered into pieces.

Red sand rained down from the sky.

Three pairs of eyes were fixed on this scene, but no matter how Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng looked, they could not see the slightest trace of the Primordial Purple Qi.

"not good!"

The three of them hurriedly made calculations, and they all correctly deduced that Hongyun had already perished.

What about the Primordial Purple Qi?

How come it's not on Hongyun?

Could it be with someone else? Zhen Yuanzi? Or Xuanhuang?

"Demon Master, come back first!" After a while, Di Jun spoke, transmitting his voice to Kunpeng.

Kunpeng grunted, and despite his resentment, he quickly followed Shangdi Jun and Taiyi away from the spot.

He is now severely injured and has no choice but to rely on Dijun and Taiyi for protection.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't withstand the retaliation from Zhen Yuanzi or Xuanhuang.

"It's hateful that I couldn't obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, and it also caused me to lose my Good Corpse. To recover from my injuries and sever the Good Corpse again, I don't know how much cultivation I will have to spend." Kunpeng left in a hurry.

However, neither Di Jun, nor Tai Yi, nor Kun Peng forgot about the gourd that had been smashed to pieces.

At this moment, the gourd that had been smashed into pieces began to vibrate slightly in every single fragment.

Then the pieces were put together and formed a gourd.

However, this gourd is covered in cracks. But no matter what, seeing this, everyone can understand.

Hongyun did not completely perish.

It turns out that Xuanhuang's physical body had been destroyed by his own supernatural powers, but he had entrusted his true spirit to the treasure that proved his Dao, thus escaping a calamity.

This method was also passed down from Xuanhuang to Hongyun.

This time, Hongyun put his knowledge into practice, and his approach differed from Xuanhuang's direct resurrection.

After the gourd was pieced together, it trembled and flew into the void.

Then gradually, wisps of red clouds were drawn in, and the clouds became more and more numerous, denser and more expansive.

It floats in the void.
