Primordial Corpse Ancestor

As the afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the primordial land, the entire land exuded a sacred and peaceful aura. If it weren't for the great catastrophe that had just occurred, and if it weren't for the evidence of the countless ravines and gullies on the ground, it would be impossible to imagine that such a peaceful and pure land could be so fraught with danger!

"Hmph! My body isn't as robust as yours, you young people. My hair is already gray! I'm not going to waste time with your antics! You two don't need to see me off any further!" Upon suddenly hearing their words, Hongjun let out a cold snort!

He then began to pant heavily, and his constantly swaying beard moved rhythmically with his breaths. It was clear that Hongjun was extremely exhausted and appeared very weak. No wonder Hongjun responded to Zulong and Yangmei in that way!

In an instant, Hongjun unleashed all his power, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky, creating a series of booming sounds, as if thousands of firecrackers were exploding, echoing through the valleys and shaking the entire world!

In an instant, the entire prehistoric world saw that purple streak of light streaking straight across the sky. Even Yangmei and Zulong had to admit that Hongjun's escape ability, which he obtained from the Heavenly Dao, was truly extraordinary. At least with their current level and ability, they could not possess such a divine power.

Suddenly seeing Hongjun's figure flash by like the aurora borealis, Yangmei and Zulong dared not be careless. They instantly transformed into two rapid streams of light, one silver and one blue, chasing after Hongjun. For a moment, the rapidly running figures resembled several comets carrying long, broom-like tail flames!

As time went by, Yangmei and Zulong discovered that at first they could still sense Hongjun's presence and even see his figure, but the further they went, the more distant it became. In the end, all they could see were the constantly receding clouds around them and the constantly moving earth beneath their feet, as well as the magnificent tail flame that Hongjun had transformed into!

As the battle progressed, Yangmei and Zulong accelerated their movements, and they could even feel the surrounding air and spiritual energy being melted away. Even the stable space trembled violently due to the powerful impact.

At this point, the difference in cultivation level and realm had begun to become apparent. Zu Long was far behind Yang Mei, after all, Zu Long was only at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while Yang Mei still could not match Hong Jun's speed.

Although Hongjun received the teachings of the Heavenly Dao and did not directly comprehend the rules, every supernatural power and technique he obtained from the Heavenly Dao was extremely compatible with the rules of the boundless primordial world. Therefore, Hongjun was the fastest one at this moment!

In the end, Yangmei and Zulong had to admit that they had long lost track of Hongjun. After all, Hongjun and Yangmei were at the same level of cultivation, but Hongjun had an extreme compatibility with the rules that Yangmei did not have!

Several hours after losing Hongjun as his target, Yangmei gradually stopped, panting as he hovered in the air. With each breath, the air was pushed away, and waves of heat spread outwards.

At this moment, fine beads of sweat kept seeping from Yang Mei's forehead. Due to the powerful airflow generated by his rapid running, he continued to surge forward under the influence of inertia, causing his newly donned white robes to sway in the wind, looking disheveled!

Yang Mei stared unwillingly in the direction where Hongjun had disappeared. This trip was a complete defeat for Yang Mei, with almost no gains. Even the magic treasures that were originally in her hands were taken by Hongjun. In the end, not only did she not cause any harm to Hongjun, but she also suffered a huge loss.

After a long while, a gust of wind swept across the area where Yang Mei was located. In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the powerful aura caused the surrounding air to vibrate continuously. The heavy aura continued to spread out. Yang Mei frowned in dissatisfaction and stared coldly at the creator of all this.

A few breaths later, the raging wind that had already passed turned around again, but this time it stopped right next to Yang Mei. At this time, Zu Long was still panting heavily, looking extremely exhausted. Seeing Yang Mei staring at him coldly, Zu Long could only give an awkward smile.

A few breaths later, Zulong looked at Yangmei's indifferent face, and suddenly seemed to realize something. Then, as if uncertain, he asked Yangmei, "It's a foregone conclusion that Hongjun will obtain the treasure this time. I never thought that after we've been busy for so long, Hongjun would be the one to benefit in the end. Truly, things are unpredictable!"

"Hmph! If it weren't for you, I would have obtained this innate spiritual treasure long ago! How could Hongjun have anything to do with it?" Yang Mei glared coldly at Zu Long, looking disdainful. Clearly, Yang Mei still hadn't let go of the fact that Zu Long's attempt to seize the treasure from him ultimately benefited Hongjun!

Zu Long gave an awkward smile, then said, "The matter has come to this! Everything is set in stone, and there's no point in arguing between us. Why don't we talk calmly and rationally? Perhaps things will take a different turn?"

"The matter of Hongjun is already a foregone conclusion. What chance do you have of changing it? Even I can't do anything about it, let alone someone with your cultivation level! You should focus on cultivating and improving your cultivation so you won't always be a burden to others in the future!"

Yang Mei bluntly pointed out the weakness of the Ancestral Dragon, and his eyes showed nothing but contempt!

"You, humph! If you weren't still of some use, do you think I would be so polite to you!" Seeing Hongjun's disdain for him and hearing Hongjun's cold words, Zulong was almost on the verge of exploding. He was extremely dissatisfied, but he quickly suppressed his resentment and remained calm.

"Hmph! What exactly does this Ancestral Dragon want to do? How come he doesn't care about my provocation? Is there some kind of conspiracy, or is there some problem I haven't thought of?" Yang Mei couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Yangmei, you flatter me! However, cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It must be done step by step, otherwise haste makes waste!" Zulong chuckled and then said with a friendly expression.

"Hmph!" Yang Mei snorted coldly, glanced at Zu Long slightly, and then made no response, appearing unusually arrogant!

"Hmph! You're really looking down on people! One day I'll trample you under my feet!" Zu Long looked at Yang Mei's disdainful expression and felt extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but think to himself.

"Hehe, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yangmei's plans are next?" Zulong suppressed his resentment once again, and then asked Yangmei with a peaceful smile.

"What do you want to do by asking this? Just say it!" Yang Mei's eyes suddenly became unusually bright, constantly flashing with an unusual brilliance.

"Hehe, good! Fellow Daoist Yangmei is straightforward, so I will speak frankly as well! After today's battle, Fellow Daoist Yangmei must have felt something. Your offensive strength is outstanding, but you are always lacking in defense. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Yangmei would not be so eager to obtain a defensive magic weapon!" Zulong said with a smile as he stared at Yangmei.

"You, is this all you wanted to tell me? Too bad I already know all that. Besides, these are my business, what does it have to do with you? Even if I don't have any decent defensive magic treasures right now, you still can't defeat me. If you don't believe me, why don't you try!" Yang Mei suddenly shifted his gaze from Zu Long, his tone dismissive.

Upon hearing Yangmei's reply, a sinister glint flashed in Zulong's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and continued with a smile, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yangmei thinks your offensive capabilities would look like when paired with my transcendent defense?"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Do you want me to work for you?" Upon hearing Zu Long's words, Yang Mei's expression instantly turned a hundred times colder, and he spoke in a stern voice.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Yangmei, you flatter me! To expect someone as influential as you in this primordial world to work for me is something I am not qualified for at the moment. But I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yangmei thinks about us cooperating?"

"With Fellow Daoist Yangmei's outstanding attack, coupled with the transcendent defense of my Plain-Colored Cloud Banner, no one in this vast primordial world can confidently defeat us! At that time, we will surely be able to create our own world within this primordial realm."

Zu Long smiled and spoke, then seemed to be lost in a beautiful fantasy about the future.

"You mean you want to cooperate with me? What makes you think I would cooperate with you?" Yang Mei's tone was unusually serious, as if he were making some major decision.

"Hehe, I know that Fellow Daoist Yangmei is also a person of great power, and also someone who is not content with being alone. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Yangmei would not have tried so many times to obtain defensive magic treasures, even at the cost of making enemies to seize them! Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Yangmei already has countless enemies. If those enemies of Fellow Daoist Yangmei have some opportunities in the future, do you think you can be lenient with them?"

Zulong maintained a calm and composed expression as he spoke to Yangmei.

"You? Does that mean I have to cooperate with you? It seems we're enemies too?" Yang Mei felt a little resentful, but he quickly calmed down. After all, Zu Long's words hit Yang Mei's nerves. Ever since the Heavenly Dao plotted against a group of Chaos Demons, Yang Mei knew that it would be difficult for him to get away with it peacefully, at least the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow it.

"Soon we will no longer be enemies! I can offer you benefits that others cannot guarantee. With sufficient benefits, I believe Fellow Daoist Yangmei will not refuse." Zulong looked at Yangmei with a smug expression, as if everything was already a done deal!
