I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 160 Severing Hongjun's Arm

Hongjun roared, his anger surging to his head, but at this moment there was no time to think. The sword that split the heavens was already in front of him. If he didn't dodge, he would probably lose his life.

But at this moment, it felt as if his whole body was filled with lead, so heavy that even moving was extremely difficult. When the sword fell, Hongjun felt intense pain in an instant.

"ah--."

At the critical moment, his potential erupted, and Hongjun narrowly dodged the fatal blow, but his entire arm was severed off.

Half of his face was also scraped off by the sword.

"ah--."

A scream echoed through the depths of chaos.

Meanwhile, Houtu, the ancestral witch who was fleeing, was also shocked to see this scene. She did not expect that the Tongtian Sect Leader was so powerful. She took advantage of his weakness to kill him.

He suddenly turned around and threw a punch, a rumbling sound erupting from the depths of chaos.

"Damn it, they have accomplices."

In an instant, he made a decision. He was temporarily invincible. Despite the excruciating pain, Hongjun grabbed back his severed arm and fled in a sorry state.

In an instant, Hongjun's figure disappeared, and Tongtian Jiaozhu appeared, still maintaining his Dharma form, slowly revealing himself with a sword in hand.

"Damn it, he dodged it."

The Tongtian Sect Leader dared not pursue, for he had only managed to sever Hongjun's arm through a sneak attack. If he chased after him and confronted him head-on, he would only face certain death.

Moreover, once he entered the perception of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, Hongjun's strength would surge. The Tongtian Sect Master's eyes were filled with boundless rage, but even more so with a trace of regret.

"Master, that sword strike was very powerful."

At this moment, Houtu walked over with a cheerful expression, displaying her Dharma Body and standing together with Tongtian Jiaozhu. Her Dharma Body, spanning billions of kilometers, seemed like an ant in this chaos.

"The time was too short. If I had a full epoch to gain enlightenment, I would have been more than capable of reaching the Dao Ancestor realm. What a pity."

The Tongtian Sect Leader was filled with resentment, for he had failed to kill Hongjun with his sword.

"But it's not bad either. Cutting off Hongjun's arm is a way to vent our anger. The next time we meet, it will be his death day."

The Ancestral Witch Houtu was in a great mood. She had just released her pent-up frustration by throwing a punch, and in her delight, she discovered that her cultivation had loosened again.

"Alright, Houtu, don't go back to the Primordial World for a while. Just cultivate here in the depths of chaos for a period of time, and we'll talk about it again when our strength has improved."

Looking towards the primordial world, the Tongtian Sect Leader continued:

"Now that the Ancestor of Humanity possesses the Creation Lotus and Lotus Root for protection, all the saints of the heavens dare not kill the Ancestor of Humanity. As long as the Ancestor of Humanity does not die, we have nothing to worry about."

Houtu nodded after hearing this:

"Very good. This time we cut off Hongjun's arm, next time we will surely cut off his head."

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader and Houtu, maintaining their Dharma bodies spanning billions of kilometers, slowly departed, trying to get as close as possible to the edge covered by the will of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

However, just after the two left, a huge shockwave suddenly blew away the surrounding chaotic energy in the distance.

A gigantic eye appeared, and even the immensely tall Dharma bodies of Tongtian Jiaozhu and Houtu appeared only as eyelashes before this enormous eye.

Then, with a blink of an eye, another stream of chaotic energy burst forth, creating a terrifying wave of chaos that stretched for hundreds of millions of kilometers.

This isn't blowing air at all; it's just the wind blowing through the eyes as they open and close.

But no one knows about this scene.

After Hongjun quickly escaped back to the chaotic area that the Heavenly Dao could sense, terrifying power erupted from his body in an instant. The scraped-off dough was restored at this moment, and his severed arm was also restored to its original state. The power of the Heavenly Dao once again blessed him.

"Damn it, damn it—."

A surge of overwhelming rage erupted within him. Being ambushed and having his arm severed for the first time, which also humiliated him, was simply intolerable.

Looking back into the depths of chaos, Hongjun's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Damn it, unless you don't show up, I will definitely kill you all."

This was the first time in Hongjun's history that he had been so enraged. Although it was just a sneak attack, Hongjun had already sensed that if they were to fight head-on, he could easily kill them both.

However, they successfully ambushed him when he was off guard, and if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably be dead.

All that could be seen was Hongjun, whose Dharma body had deepened to a distance of billions of miles, sitting cross-legged in the chaos. Just moments before, when he had cleaved the chaos with a single sword strike, Hongjun seemed to have seen something, but in the blink of an eye, he was severely injured before he could see it clearly.

Now that I think about it carefully, I still can't figure it out.

"I only saw a flash of sword light, or perhaps a glowing sphere, but it was fleeting, or maybe it was an eye. What was it?"

For a moment, Hongjun was confused. A faint sense of crisis came from between his brows, which made Hongjun very uncomfortable. He turned to look at the primordial land.

"No, it seems that the plan to devour the underground passages and the human path must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise the prehistoric world will be in trouble when extraterrestrial beings attack."

On the other side, Ye Yang, carrying a wisp of Pingxin's divine sense, headed straight for the depths of chaos. Since a rare opportunity had arisen, he decided to go all the way.

However, after searching for a long time, no trace of Zixiao Palace was found, which made Ye Yang extremely angry.

"Damn it, where exactly is this Zixiao Palace?"

I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Zixiao Palace is different from the Daoist temples of all the saints. The Daoist temples of all the saints are hidden in the void, but as long as one's cultivation reaches the level of a saint, one can sense them. However, Hongjun's Daoist temple is hidden by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Unless Hongjun releases it voluntarily, the saints of the heavens will not be able to find it.

Ye Yang surveyed the area but found nothing, which made him feel quite frustrated.

Now that Nuwa and the two Western Saints have been killed twice, this will be of great benefit to the great calamity to come.

"What a pity that the Sage Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Lord weren't killed. If only the Master of Heaven were in his prime!"

With a sigh, Ye Yang began to drift aimlessly through the chaos, but the closer he got to the primordial world, the slower his wandering became.

"According to the original plan, the Sage Taiqing will not interfere with the Investiture of the Gods, but he will not let go of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Race. However, my appearance will probably make the Sage Taiqing very unhappy."

Although he was unhappy, Ye Yang put Taiqing Saint aside. After all, Taiqing Saint only had Xuandu as his disciple. How could he possibly face the calamity?

"Then only Yuanshi Tianzun remains. It's a pity for this guy. He is now the richest among all the saints. But it's not bad. Although I didn't kill Yuanshi, I killed many living beings in his Daoist temple. He has suffered a great loss of vitality."

Thinking of this, Ye Yang slowly looked up at the primordial land.

"That's about it. I think the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will arrive soon. I've already exhausted a lot of the Sages' strength, and all preparations are in place. It's time to close the net."

With a sigh, Ye Yang slowly looked at the Primordial World once more:

"Huh? Wait a minute, this isn't right, this is where I was just now."

Although it was only a slight change, Ye Yang could feel it.

"It's like I'm in a river, drifting slowly with the current, yes, that's it."

In that instant, Ye Yang started thinking about a lot more things.

"Could it be that the entire Chaos is a river, the water within it is the Chaos Qi, and the Primordial World is something floating in this river, slowly moving with the fluctuations of the water?"

If that were truly the case, in that instant, Ye Yang seemed to have opened a door, slowly gazing into the depths of chaos.

"Could it be that my previous guess was true?"

Just then, the voice of Pingxin Shenshi suddenly rang in Ye Yang's mind.

"Ancestor of Humanity, I sense it. Zixiao Palace is tens of millions of kilometers ahead."
