Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

The statue of the god of rebellion comes from the demon realm.

All the saints and primordial beings have seen this item, but at this moment, when the Chaos Dao Lord and the Hongjun Dao Ancestor are competing, he suddenly brings out this item, which is somewhat suspicious of causing trouble.

This is practically poisoning the mind of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

Chaos Dao Lord's audacity caused even the saints to change their expressions.

Even the three people who knew Chaos Daojun very well—Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu—felt that Chaos Daojun was unfamiliar to them.

This kid used to be quite well-mannered, gentle, and humble. How did he become so crazy?

"snort!"

Hongjun Daozu's face was extremely ugly. He pointed out a purple light, which went towards the "God Rebellion Statue" that rose and fell in the Chaos Daojun's auspicious clouds!

This finger strike was incredibly concentrated, like a single point of light, the very first ray of light at the beginning of the world!

This beam of light went straight for the "God-Reversing Statue" above the Chaos Dao Lord's head, completely ignoring the barriers of time and space, and came with the force to pierce through everything!

"Master! This thing cannot be destroyed! I still need it to plot against Shenni."

Chaos Dao Lord chuckled, and the "Chaos Limitless Ruler" came into his hand. With just one stroke, a deep trench of chaotic primordial energy appeared in front of him.

This ravine is so deep that its bottom cannot be seen.

The purple light bombarded in, seemingly unable to find a way out, and for a long time failed to reach the world condensed by the Chaos Dao Lord.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Chaos Dao Lord vanished instantly.

Inside the "Purple Cloud Palace," everything returned to normal, as if no fight had ever taken place.

He blocked three moves from Hongjun Daozu in a row, which surprised all the saints and Hunyuan. No one expected that the cultivation of Chaos Daojun had reached the seventh level of Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian!

"His cultivation level has actually caught up with mine!"

Laozi's expression changed, seemingly not expecting that he had been overtaken in terms of cultivation.

As for Amitabha Buddha, his expression stiffened. He was only at the peak of the sixth level of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal Realm, still a step behind Laozi. It seemed that he would have to give up his position as the second-ranked saint among the Primordial Saints.

"Chaos Child! Your cultivation has improved greatly. Among all the saints and primordial beings, you should be the most respected."

At this moment, Hongjun Daozu stopped making a move and instead said these words.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of all the saints and Hunyuan changed drastically, and they all looked at Chaos Daojun thoughtfully.

"Master, you are mistaken! Master was the founder of the Xuanmen sect, a supreme expert at the ninth level of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal realm. If you had completely merged with the Heavenly Dao, you would be the number one person in all the heavens and myriad realms to attain the Great Dao!"

Chaos Dao Lord sneered inwardly, "Your little tricks are not even worthy of being used."

Are you trying to flatter me to my detriment?

To make other sages and Hunyuan target him?

Don't you even know who I am?!

Do you think I'm someone you can manipulate?

As expected, Chaos Dao Lord's gesture caused all the saints and Hunyuan to turn their gazes back to Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

No matter how powerful the Chaos Dao Lord is, he is insignificant compared to this Dao Ancestor.

They, the saints and the primordial beings, must unite to fight against Hongjun Daozu and stand on equal footing with him!

Hongjun Daozu immediately sensed the tense atmosphere inside the "Zixiao Palace".

The situation seems to be very unfavorable for him!

In particular, Chaos Daojun is not the same as Demon Ancestor Rahu. The two saints, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yunxiao Niangniang, are all in the same camp as Chaos Daojun.

Furthermore, the attitudes of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are uncertain.

Amitabha Buddha, it seems that Cundi Buddha Mother also has other thoughts.

At this moment, Hongjun Daozu felt a pang of regret.

I shouldn't have been so cold and indifferent to my disciples after the three lectures at Zixiao Palace.

Now, everything is fine.

His disciples were disloyal and even opposed him, showing no trust in him whatsoever.

This left Hongjun Daozu feeling utterly cold.

"Ahem!"

Taishang Laozi spoke up: "Teacher, although Chaos Child has been somewhat offensive, he is anxious. The primordial world is facing a great calamity, and a Primordial Saint is of vital importance to the current situation. Please forgive Demon Ancestor Rahu this time and let him atone for his sins by performing meritorious service."

"Indeed! Although Demon Ancestor Rahu fled the battlefield last time, there were reasons for it. It's normal that he couldn't resist Shen Ni's attack!"

The eldest brother spoke first, and Yuanshi Tianzun immediately followed up.

"Teacher, we must give Demon Ancestor Rahu another chance! If he tries to desert again this time, I will kill him without your intervention!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader also chimed in.

None of the three mentioned the Chaos Dao Lord!

Compared to the Demon Ancestor Rahu becoming a puppet, the Chaos Dao Lord's two disrespectful remarks to you are nothing at all!

"Please have mercy, teacher!"

The Three Pure Ones have all stepped forward, and Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother have also joined in the prayers.

"Please have mercy, teacher!"

Even Nuwa, the sage who usually didn't care about the primordial world, pleaded for mercy.

This is her bottom line. Today, Dao Ancestor Hongjun can turn Demon Ancestor Luo Hou into a puppet, and tomorrow he can turn her into a puppet!

To stand up for the Demon Ancestor Rahu is to stand up for oneself.

If she ever falls into trouble in the future, the Three Pure Ones, the two saints of Buddhism, and even the Demon Ancestor Rahu will help her in the same way!

It was with this mindset that all the saints united together.

Chaos Dao Lord also spoke up, saying, "This disciple was a bit hasty earlier, please forgive me, Ancestor! However, Demon Ancestor Rahu committed a minor offense and should not be punished in this way."

"Please, Dao Ancestor, reconsider!"

Fairy Yunxiao also spoke.

At this point, Lady Yunxiao had a clear understanding of the situation. It seemed that this scene at Zixiao Palace was a clear reflection of the relationship between the saints and Hongjun Daozu.

"Please, Dao Ancestor, show mercy!"

The last to speak was Houtu Niangniang. Since all the saints had spoken, she couldn't be left out.

Otherwise, if they become isolated in the future, the life of the witch clan will be even more difficult.

The joint demand from seven Primordial Saints and two Primordial Golden Immortals forced Hongjun Daozu to abdicate, turning his face ashen with rage that nearly set him ablaze.

At this point, the notions of tranquility and inaction, and the ruthlessness of Heaven, have long since vanished.

Even billions of years of cultivation have been somewhat compromised at this moment.

"call……"

Hongjun Daozu let out a long breath and finally calmed down.

With a formidable enemy outside, we cannot afford to fall into chaos internally.

Otherwise, his hope of protecting the primordial world and advancing to the Dao Lord realm would be completely shattered.

This is a plan that has been in the works for millions of years, and it holds immense promise.

Hongjun Daozu was confident that he could completely devour the Heavenly Dao and advance to another realm before the immeasurable calamity arrived.

At that time, Hongjun Daozu will sweep across all the heavens and myriad realms, becoming the ruler of countless chaotic universes.

This bright future is just one step away!

We can't afford to turn against them now!

"Yes! I understand what you mean! I will imprison Rahu for a while, and release him when the great calamity breaks out."

There was no other way, so the Dao Ancestor Hongjun could only say this.

After hearing what Hongjun Daozu said, the saints and Hunyuan stopped speaking.

Everyone knows that this is just Hongjun Daozu asking for a way out. Before the Great Calamity erupts, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou will definitely be freed. Otherwise, everyone will part ways, and there will be no point in talking about stopping external forces from attacking the prehistoric world.

The Primordial Saint holds an unparalleled position in the primordial world!

This is the bottom line for all sages!

The retreat of Hongjun Daozu made the saints feel a little better. No one could kill or refine a saint in the prehistoric world, which would be more serious than the destruction of the prehistoric world!

"Hmm! As far as I know, Shen Ni and Yang Mei have already gone to another world and invited some top-tier Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian experts to help. We don't have much time left."

The matters concerning Chaos Dao Lord and Demon Ancestor Rahu were temporarily put aside, and Hongjun Dao Ancestor addressed the important matter.

"Does the teacher know how many experts of the Mixed Yuan Realm are on the opposing side?"

Lao Tzu asked softly.

"Through my own cultivation and the power of the Heavenly Dao, I have deduced the secrets of Heaven. In the great calamity to come, my primordial world will face the attack of nearly twenty Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial Chaos!"

At this moment, Hongjun Daozu did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"Whoosh..."

Hongjun Daozu's words immediately caused an uproar throughout the audience.

Everyone knew that the future situation was very dangerous, but no one expected that the other side had so many Hunyuan Wuji Dalu Golden Immortal experts. How could they possibly fight?

Especially considering that the other side also has top experts like Shen Ni and Yang Mei!

At this point, the saints began to regret their actions.

If they had known this would happen, they would have used all their strength to kill Shenni in the last great battle.

Now, with so many enemies coming to besiege them, the risks are far greater than last time.

"How should we defend ourselves against so many enemies?"

After a long while, Amitabha Buddha asked a question.

"You need not worry! I have a plan to defeat the enemy!"

Seeing everyone's worry, Dao Ancestor Hongjun thought to himself, "This is bad!"

He quickly said something to calm everyone down.

"In my primordial world, by combining the Nine Netherworlds, the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Realm, and the Thirty-Three Heavens to form the Five Elements Grand Array, its power will not be weaker than that of a Grandmaster of the Ninth Heaven of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal Realm!"

Hongjun Daozu continued, "Furthermore, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power, the combat strength we can unleash in the future will be unmatched by anyone at the sixth level of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Golden Immortal realm!"

"We have the advantage of home ground. If we strike first and kill several of their Grand Luo Golden Immortals, they might not have the courage to fight us to the death!"

"Furthermore, the three emperors of 'Fire Cloud Cave' are about to advance to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm, right?"

At this point, Hongjun Daozu looked at Chaos Daojun.

The saints also turned their gazes toward the Chaos Dao Lord, each of them feeling a stirring in their hearts.

The three emperors of the human race were disciples of the Chaos Dao Lord!

With this in mind, all the forces raised the danger level of the Chaos Dao Lord even higher.

Nuwa seemed to have known all along; her expression remained unchanged, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, her cultivation level has been at the bottom, her power is the smallest, and she has faced immense pressure.

Now that her elder brother has advanced to the Hunyuan Wuji Dalu Jinxian realm, with her brother to look after her, her life has become a little easier, and she is no longer bullied.

"What the Ancestral Master says is absolutely right! It is a certainty that my three disciples will advance to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm. As long as their magical power is sufficient, it will be a natural progression!"

Chaos Dao Lord chuckled, his words and actions revealing a hint of pride.

In the primordial world, besides Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who else could have cultivated so many Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian?

With the Chaos Dao Lord's affirmation, all the Sages and Hunyuan were shocked. However, at this time, a great calamity was coming, and their side had gained three more Hunyuan Wuji Dalu Golden Immortal experts, which seemed like a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

The only ones who felt uncomfortable were the Supreme Elder and the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The two religions rely on the human race, the vampire human race. Now that the human race seems to have risen, it won't be so easy for them to keep the human race like cattle and horses.

Especially Laozi, he even doubted whether he could continue to be the leader of this cult.

This left him feeling uneasy.

But now, there's no chance to retaliate.

The "Cataclysm of the Heavenly Demons" is a golden opportunity for both the Chaos Dao Lord and the human race.

With external pressure, they broke free of some shackles, gained more freedom, and could fully improve their strength.

"The reason I have summoned you here is to inform you that a great calamity is not far off, and your various sects seem to be making slow preparations. If this continues, the future situation may not be good."

Hongjun Daozu continued, "I hope that after you return this time, you will be able to immediately mobilize all forces, refine the sect's grand formation, and prepare for future enemies!"

"We will humbly obey the Master's decree!"

The Supreme Lord Laozi, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Master of Heaven, the Sage Nuwa, Amitabha Buddha, and the Cundi Buddha Mother all bowed respectfully, appearing very obedient.

Chaos Dao Lord, Cloud Lady, and Houtu Lady stood aside and also bowed, seemingly obeying the decree of Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

As for what these people were thinking, that remains unknown.

Anyway, whatever Hongjun Daozu said was beneficial to all the saints and Hunyuan, so everyone listened and acted respectfully.

If it affects the interests of the saints and the Primordial Chaos, someone will take the lead and immediately speak out against it.

Currently, the top power levels in the primordial world are more about compromise and cooperation. Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun cannot suppress all voices with his own power.

No one would agree that Hongjun Daozu alone could dominate the prehistoric world.

Even when Hongjun Daozu attempted to devour the Heavenly Dao, the Sages and Hunyuan were watching closely and keeping a close eye on his progress.

If it really comes to the final step, no one can watch Hongjun Daozu break through his cultivation. That will be the moment when everyone completely turns against each other!

"Alright! You can go back now! Prepare diligently!"

Looking at these disciples, Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt disgusted. None of them were his own people. It seemed he needed to find a way to support another group to replace them.

"Yes! We'll take our leave!"

The saints and Hunyuan bowed to each other again before leaving the Zixiao Palace together.

Hongjun Daozu is in increasing danger. The Sages and Primordial Chaos beings dare not act alone, fearing they might fall victim to Hongjun Daozu's wickedness if they are separated from their allies. (End of Chapter)
