The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 823 Hongjun: I! Honest, kind, and in accordance with Heaven's will!

The Demon Ancestor's conquest of the heavens is destined to be a great feat etched in history!

Even if he ultimately failed!

He was severely injured by the Dao Ancestor, his body was torn apart, and he fell into a sea of ​​blood.

But that heroic spirit of daring to slay the heavens will live on forever, and its spirit will never fade.

"Boom!"

The roaring river of time recorded all of this, reflecting it into the future and manifesting it in all ages, becoming a myth passed down by word of mouth, evolving into a heroic passion.

"Slaughter the Heavens!"

"unbelievable!"

"Heaven has acted wickedly; we swear to punish it!"

Throughout countless ages and in the immeasurable heavens, countless beings shouted, punching the "heaven" and waging war against injustice!

This is the inheritance of the will of the Styx Demon Ancestor, which has spanned countless eras and left its own mark.

However, having accomplished such a feat, the Styx Demon Ancestor fell into obscurity.

Two peak powerhouses, though separated by different bodies, united in heart and mind. The supreme creation, Heavenly Dao, unleashed a powerful attack. He fought alone and was ultimately defeated. The light of his soul dimmed, and he collapsed into a sea of ​​blood, nearly falling into an eternal slumber.

However, even the Dao Ancestor was not having an easy time.

His entire body was covered in bloody wounds, inflicted by the two most powerful killing swords, Yuan Tu and A Bi!

The Styx Demon Ancestor was too powerful in the final moments when he killed me and severed my path to enlightenment!

It almost perfectly captures the essence of humanity—even if only a part of it!

However, it also meant stepping into a completely new world, leaving him with indelible scars.

Although Hongjun won this battle, it was a hard-fought victory, and he couldn't bring himself to smile.

"The Demonic Sect..."

"Ahem!"

Hongjun coughed up blood, leaning against the ruins of Zixiao Palace, his eyes glazed over. "From this day forward, the Dao will rise and the demons will fall, the Dao will fall and the demons will rise... the entanglement of cause and effect will last for countless eons!"

They've got it!

"To kill heaven, to kill earth, to kill people, to kill oneself, to sever my understanding of the Way... this is the most insane method."

"With such an opponent watching me, my life as the Heavenly Dao is not going to be easy."

Jun Tian strolled over, his gaze indifferent. "There are always people who want to reset us to factory settings and turn us into mere tools."

"Why can't they sacrifice themselves and fill this hole for me?"

"A bunch of lazy bums!"

That's how he criticized it.

"Exactly!" Hongjun nodded. "What role is that Styx playing? Does he really think he can hide it from us?!"

"Hey!"

"Full of malice and ill intentions!"

They understood it clearly, with keen insight.

That Styx Demon Ancestor... he's trying to become an antivirus software!

However, if it's just antivirus software that simply sticks to its basic functions, then Hongjun would accept it.

I'm just afraid... he might do something inhuman!

after all.

Some antivirus software, under the guise of antivirus, may be more toxic than anything else, like the king of poisons.

It can eliminate the Gu poison not because of the healer's benevolence, but simply because it has devoured all the Gu poisons and become the strongest Gu poison itself!

Hongjun watched the Styx River's final, dazzling brilliance, and realized that the Demonic Sect might be planning something big in the future, gathering the power of all living beings to test the position of humanity.

At the very least, they should leave a backdoor so that they can sneak in and access the site at any time to act arrogantly and domineeringly!

He and Juntian both fell silent.

"It was no easy feat for us to beat him this time... but next time, it's hard to say."

"Once the Styx River is truly on the right track and comes to fight us with the true power of humanity... it's hard to say whether we will win."

"We must reach Pangu as soon as possible!"

They looked at each other; this was a consensus.

"I'm restricted," Hongjun whispered. "The crucial point is, the Heavenly Dao is also affected!"

"Even though you can move freely with the help of the Heavenly Dao, if we cannot use the Heavenly Dao itself, our strength is still limited."

"We must break free from these constraints!"

His words were firm and resolute.

"Then, the immeasurable calamity must come!" Jun Tian planned rationally, devoid of emotion.

"Disaster!"

Hongjun shook his head, "Don't be fooled by the current chaotic battle at the peak; it could destroy the world... This has hit everyone where it hurts, and they'll definitely all come after me!"

"Only by taking things by surprise and having a scapegoat... can success be achieved."

"A chess piece...don't we have one?" Jun Tian said calmly, "Everything was planned long ago."

He said it meaningfully.

At the same moment, Hongjun also nodded.

"Yes."

"Humanity arrives, opening up the battlefield... This moment of primordial chaos is a complex tapestry, where time loops and the river of time is reversed."

Hongjun laughed, "Those who are qualified to prove the Dao of Pangu are all dueling, choosing their opponents at will... The outcome of each match will play a crucial role in the final conclusion."

"Theoretically, if someone could defeat everyone, they would hold the key to everything, possessing the qualifications to rule the destiny of this era and ascend to the pinnacle of power!"

"This is the original intention of humanity, fair competition, and settling accounts for cause and effect."

"But is that the case for us? We can have even more fun!"

"Seize the Heavens!"

Hongjun Daozu's eyes gleamed, "We will seize a 'Heavenly Dao'!"

"That might be real, or it might be illusory; reality and illusion are intertwined, making it difficult to determine truth from falsehood... Even we ourselves struggle to define it, let alone others?"

"Using its existence to temporarily replace my imprisonment—that's a true... switcheroo!"

He was radiant and in high spirits.

Stealing the Sky!

Change of the day!

"It's all thanks to Houtu for the inspiration she provided," Hongjun chuckled softly. "She was trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and had to bear the burden of the underworld... But so what? She still managed to escape and settle the score with Xihuang."

"As long as we get back in time, settle things, and clear up the accounts, we can get away with it all."

"We...are the same!"

"Find a substitute, pretend that the Heavenly Dao is still bound. But in reality, we have the ability to fight with all our might!"

"The ultimate battle, for Pangu... If we win, we will be Pangu."

"We lost..."

Hongjun sighed, "Perhaps, I really must bear the consequences of breaking the contract and fall into eternal slumber."

"However, we can have someone else face the challenge," Jun Tian added. "Canglong is a good comrade."

"His bold pioneering spirit broadened our horizons."

"It's all his fault... He's the real culprit, isn't he?"

"It was he who, in another primordial wasteland, shattered the pillar of heaven, unleashing a cataclysmic tide. This outcome, resonating with the real world as time and space converged, caused a bizarre shift in the laws of nature, leaving us unfortunately 'displaced'... See, it's not that our promises have failed; it's truly due to force majeure!"

"We sympathize with this matter, but we are powerless to help and will not accept claims from the relevant insurance companies."

"Morality is morality, and law is law... We are compassionate, but we do not accept being morally blackmailed."

"For related losses and compensation, please file a lawsuit against the Dragon Ancestor."

Whose debt is this?!

Azure Dragon, come out and take your beating!

"Exactly!" Hongjun laughed heartily. "How can you blame us for the Azure Dragon's debt? We are victims too!"

"Oh, right!"

"In order to make the Azure Dragon take the blame, and to confirm that it was the resonance of spacetime contraction that led to the immeasurable calamity, the collapse of the celestial pillar, and the disaster that befell heaven and earth..."

"Perhaps we should 'ask' him to recount his feat once more!"

Their plan was finalized.

"I'll leave this matter to you," Hongjun sighed, placing high hopes on Juntian. "I cannot personally step out of Zixiao to conquer the gods."

"All the pressure has fallen on your shoulders... You need to take action and suppress the Azure Dragon!"

"The very first time is the hardest, but it's the one you absolutely must succeed at!"

"Once I'm free to use my abilities and advance with the help of the Heavenly Dao, things will be much easier."

"I will not fail your trust!" Jun Tian nodded calmly. "Although I am fighting Cang alone, I will do my utmost to see who prevails in life and death!"

Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Hongjun smiled and said, "It's interesting to say that I have relied on bullying the weak to get where I am in this life. The foundation of the Heavenly Dao is right here. Whenever I make a move, I always do so with overwhelming force."

"I never imagined that one day it would be a fair fight."

"Fine."

"Let's use Cang as a touchstone."

"If I lose to him, what's the point of me vying for Pangu? I'll just train in Zixiao Palace for a few more eras!"

When the time came, he became surprisingly nonchalant.

This will be the most dangerous battle yet.

The Azure Dragon's cultivation level has reached its peak, and it is only one step away from Pangu, or even about to step into it!

Hongjun's level is nothing more than this.

How can one claim certain victory without grasping the principles of Heaven?!

In fact, at this stage, unless there is an overpowered cheat or Pangu's intervention, the outcome of such a duel is usually a 50/50 chance!

"You should have some confidence in me." Jun Tian's gaze gradually shifted from deep calm to bright and passionate. "After all, the Azure Dragon still owes us a debt!"

"We're here to collect debts, and we're bound to win!"

"He has tainted the way of Heaven, and it is destined that one day he will face calamity in our hands!"

"Moreover, the cause and effect... are even deeper."

"When he broke free from his bonds, I perceived the overwhelming flow of humanity and gave him some gifts that belonged to humanity."

"This gift... also needs to be returned!"

"When Heaven and humanity unite, all things are established!"

"I will win this battle!"

Thus it is said by Juntian.

The next moment, he pointed his fingers like a sword and cleaved through the years.

The war horn sounded, and an irresistible war pact was made with the First Emperor in the dark.

Therefore, the overwhelming power of humanity encompassed both of the two supreme beings, causing them to appear together on another battlefield!

For each of them, this is a special juncture, transcending the sequence of time. Even their true selves, before the final verdict, are in a state of difficulty in observing the specific process, or even who their opponents are.

That's impressive, at least you know how many matches were played.

All of this will only be understood when the curtain falls, and time will continue.

Because you can challenge others, and others can challenge you.

After two or more matches, I started to get confused—who did I beat? And who beat me?!

Unless someone can be certain that he has lived his entire life in darkness, unknown to anyone... this naturally gives him the initiative to determine who he has fought against and who has fought against him.

But what good is having the initiative?

God knows!

Does your chosen opponent have any earth-shattering trump card?

He just slapped you down?!

This is a contest between "knowledge" and "ability".

Simply knowing is not enough; one must be able to win and be omnipotent.

But simply being powerful and invincible in combat is not enough; you must make sure you have defeated all your opponents!

In case Voldemort is hiding somewhere, the dog sneakily suggests that only the strongest are worthy to fight him. So when time comes to an end, variables will emerge.

The greater the variables, the more unpredictable the outcome.

Omniscience and omnipotence are the ultimate goals.

Every top achiever who is confident in themselves believes they can control the entire era.

But in reality... most of it is an illusion.

Therefore, when the brand-new, spirited Ancestral Dragon appeared here and saw Juntian, he was shaken.

This is a black box beyond his understanding!

Look!

What is this?

A Heavenly Dao Spirit!

Still free! Able to move around freely!

His expression changed drastically, his emotions surged, and he secretly tried to confirm everything, but the truth gave him a cruel answer.

Because the perception of the Tao is never false.

He once drew upon the Way of Heaven, taking its essence and incorporating it into the Way of the Dragon. This is a cause and effect, a debt that can be settled!

And that's not all.

The First Emperor sensed even more from this "Hongjun" before him!

That is... a humane reward!

"My escape was part of your plan... no, you've been influencing me behind the scenes all along!"

Zu Long spoke slowly and deliberately, revealing a dark secret that even the Azure Dragon who faced Emperor Yan did not understand.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Jun Tian chuckled, "I am a good Heavenly Dao, how could I do bad things?"

"It is absolutely impossible that countless years ago, someone intentionally or unintentionally opened up the access to the Heavenly Dao, half-concealing it, just so that someone could see it, take the bait, and form a karmic bond."

"How could I possibly scheme against such a person? To be able to steal the authority over the Dao of Heaven, he is destined to be no ordinary individual, perhaps even a contemporary Pangu!"

"Even for beings like saints, apart from Nuwa, the rest are given both primordial purple energy and special privileges... Even so, only outstanding individuals with great supernatural powers can bear one-sixth or one-seventh of the Heavenly Dao's position."

Jun Tian smiled knowingly, repeatedly telling Canglong not to overthink it, that it was all just an accident.

"How could I, an honest, kind, and benevolent person, engage in such risky activities and make a mortal enemy who might potentially attain enlightenment like Pangu?"

"What if things go wrong?"

"Could it be that justifiable justice descended from heaven, but because of karmic debts and grudges, so it smashed down the heavenly court to suppress that thief and staged a whole mess?"

Jun Tian kept calling it a coincidence and telling people not to overthink it. "In the very end, when humanity begins to recover and the era is about to come to a close, there will be humanitarian compensation, a special reward for the era's key moments, and then something else will be added to ensure the convergence of cause and effect, and the coverage of destiny?"

"How could I possibly be such a terrifying force of nature?"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Jun Tian smiled and said, "How could I, a simple and honest Heavenly Dao, possibly manipulate things like this, nurturing a powerful being of the same level and then playing him like a puppet?!"

"Alas! I am so kind! Even Dijun dared to harbor rebellious thoughts, deluding himself into turning me into a de facto emperor!"
