All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

In the endless void, fierce winds raged, and the pitch-black sky was completely shrouded in a gray-black halo. The terrifying aura of the Chaos Gods, like a tangible tide, pressed down on the barrier of the primordial world layer upon layer. Dozens of Chaos Gods stood in formation, each with a different form. Some were covered in jagged scales, some were covered in thick black feathers, and some had transformed into invisible wisps of energy. Their bodies were surrounded by the power of the primordial chaos, and every breath they took caused the void to tremble. The will to destroy permeated the heavens and earth, making this void itself stagnate.

Hongjun, clad in a simple white robe, stood alone in the void outside the barrier. His figure appeared slender, yet he stabilized the situation like a pillar of strength. Daoist energy flowed around him, and faint golden light clashed with chaotic energy, forming an invisible barrier that kept the raging void winds at bay. His gaze calmly swept over the chaotic demon gods before him, showing no fear, only a deep-seated solemnity—each of these demon gods possessed formidable strength, far surpassing the top powerhouses of the primordial world. Even he would find it difficult to easily contend with dozens of them joining forces.

"Hahaha! Hongjun!" A rough, violent laugh suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the confrontation. A chaotic demon god, his entire body crimson, stepped forward. He was enormous, standing a thousand feet tall, his body engulfed in raging chaotic karmic fire. His skin flowed with a dark red luster like lava, and he gripped a massive battle axe, its blade gleaming with a chilling light that could tear through space and time. This demon god was a fire demon from the chaos, wielding the laws of fire. He was violent in nature and his strength ranked among the top of all demon gods.

The Flame Demon stared at the lone Hongjun, his eyes filled with mockery and disdain. With a slight swing of his massive battle axe, he unleashed raging fiery gusts of wind: "You dare stand alone before us? Do you intend to fight against dozens of Chaos Gods by yourself?" He paused, his tone growing increasingly sarcastic. "Don't you even know your place? Do you think you're some kind of creation god, Pangu?!"

Pangu, the primordial god who created heaven and earth, single-handedly cleaved chaos and gave birth to the primordial world. He is a taboo and awe-inspiring figure in the hearts of all the chaotic gods. The Flame Demon's words were both a mockery of Hongjun's overestimation of his abilities and a deliberate attempt to suppress his aura. The other chaotic gods echoed his sentiments, letting out low, mocking laughs, and their terrifying aura surged once more, crushing towards Hongjun.

Hongjun remained unmoved, facing the mockery and oppressive aura of the demon gods. His voice rang out coldly, piercing through all the noise and clearly reaching the ears of every demon god: "The divine might of the Great God Pangu is naturally beyond my comprehension." He paused, his gaze sharpening like a knife, his tone carrying a resolute ruthlessness, "But if I were to detonate the very essence of the primordial world and perish together with you, would you, these chaotic demon gods, still be able to laugh so recklessly?"

Upon hearing this, the laughter of all the Chaos Gods abruptly ceased. Their mockery and disdain were instantly replaced by astonishment and fear, and their auras faltered. The Flame Demon's battle axe froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with disbelief, which then transformed into deep terror.

They naturally knew that the primordial world was formed from the origin of Pangu, and its primordial power was boundless. If Hongjun were to detonate the primordial world at all costs, the destructive power would be enough to tear apart the endless void. Even if they were Chaos Gods, they would be severely injured by this power, perhaps even their souls would be scattered. Mutual destruction? This Hongjun is simply a madman!

"Hongjun, how dare you!" the Flame Demon roared, his voice lacking its previous confidence, and the chaotic karmic fire around him dimmed slightly. "The Primordial World is your foundation; if you detonate it, you will perish along with it!"

"Foundation?" Hongjun sneered. "If the Primordial World is destroyed by your hands, what use is my foundation? Rather than watching the Primordial World suffer, I'd rather perish with you all, at least I can take you down with me." His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable determination, clearly not a joke.

The demons exchanged glances, each seeing apprehension in the other's eyes. They hadn't come to destroy the primordial world, but for that one thing. If they truly forced Hongjun to detonate the primordial world, they would not only fail to achieve their goal but also lose their lives—a net loss. For a moment, the void fell silent, the atmosphere of confrontation growing increasingly tense.

Just then, a deep and resonant voice rang out, and a towering Chaos Demon God, clad in black dragon-patterned armor, slowly stepped forward. His chaotic aura was the most concentrated, faintly forming a black light barrier, his oppressive presence far surpassing that of the other demon gods. Clearly, he was the strongest among these dozens of Chaos Demon Gods, wielding command authority. This demon god was a Chaos Dragon Demon, wielding the laws of space, his strength unfathomable.

The Chaos Dragon Demon's gaze fell upon Hongjun, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Hongjun, why be so ruthless? We do not wish to fight you to the death, nor do we intend to destroy the Primordial World." He paused, then slowly revealed the purpose of his visit: "Hand over the divine spear of the Primordial World, and we will withdraw without further trouble."

A divine spear? Hongjun's heart stirred slightly, and he instantly understood what the Chaos Dragon Demon was referring to—it was the black and red spear on the altar of the Forbidden Soul Land. Although that spear was a primordial divine weapon, it was not a top-tier treasure. In the primordial world, there were many divine weapons more powerful than it. To beings of his and the Chaos Demon God's level, it was just an ordinary weapon.

Hongjun was immediately filled with deep doubt. These Chaos Demons had crossed the endless void and gathered dozens of powerful figures. Could it be that they were only after an ordinary divine weapon? This was clearly illogical. The Chaos Demons were all extremely arrogant, and ordinary divine weapons would not even catch their eye, let alone something worth mobilizing so many troops and risking war against the Primordial World.

There must be a secret here! That divine spear is far more complex than it appears. Perhaps it holds a secret desired by the Chaos Demons, or contains some power they desperately need, which is why they are so obsessed with it. Hongjun suppressed his doubts, his gaze falling on the Chaos Dragon Demon, his tone tinged with inquiry: "A divine weapon that is utterly ordinary to those of our level, is it really worth dozens of Chaos Demons traveling thousands of miles across the void to demand it?"

The Chaos Dragon Demon's eyes narrowed slightly, clearly unwilling to discuss the secrets of the Divine Spear further. His tone grew increasingly cold: "Hongjun, you only need to do as I say. Hand over the Divine Spear, and all will be well; if you insist on obstructing us, even if you want to detonate the Primordial World, we will spare no effort to reclaim the Divine Spear!" The pressure emanating from him surged once more, and the void began to distort violently, clearly indicating that he was ready for war.

Hongjun, equally unyielding, unleashed a surge of golden light. As his Daoist aura flowed, an overwhelming pressure, capable of suppressing the universe, spread out, colliding with the aura of the Chaos Dragon Demon and creating ripples in the void. The two sides once again found themselves in a stalemate, the atmosphere tense to the extreme, as if a great battle could erupt at any moment.

Just then, a violent fluctuation in the void suddenly came from afar, breaking the stalemate. A huge purple void rift silently tore open, and dense purple energy surged out from it, carrying a domineering and eerie aura, rushing towards them. Within the rift, seven figures slowly emerged. The leader wore a dark purple robe with dragon patterns, his face was cold and stern, and his body was surrounded by faint purple lightning. His imposing aura was incomparably powerful, no less than that of Hongjun and the Chaos Dragon Demon.

Behind him followed six cultivators dressed in purple robes, their auras deep and imposing, each possessing the strength of a Primordial Quasi-Saint, several times more powerful than the four purple-robed men who had been suppressed earlier. These were the reinforcements summoned by the four purple-robed men, from a top-tier force in the Blazing Sun Realm, led by none other than the Realm Lord of the Blazing Sun Realm, Blazing Sun Child.

Lie Yangzi's gaze swept across the battlefield. When he saw the four purple-robed figures, vaguely bound by the Primordial Restriction and trembling inside the barrier, his brows furrowed tightly, and a deep impatience and disdain flashed in his eyes. He coldly snorted and uttered two words in an icy tone: "Trash."

Upon hearing Lie Yangzi's voice, the four purple-robed men trembled, their faces filled with shame and fear. They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. They had originally intended to capture Lin Nannan to claim credit, but they had not only failed but had also been suppressed by a powerful figure from the Primordial Era, attracting the Chaos Demon God and alarming the Realm Lord. At this moment, they were already terrified out of their wits.

Lieyangzi ignored the four useless individuals and turned his gaze to Hongjun, his tone carrying a hint of condescending arrogance: "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I have long admired your name. I have come here today not to be your enemy. Please hand over the people of my Lieyang Realm, as well as that little girl with the ability to travel between dimensions, to me so that I may take them back to my Lieyang Realm for disposal. This matter has nothing to do with the Primordial World, so you need not concern yourself with it."

On one side were dozens of menacing Chaos Demons demanding a seemingly ordinary divine spear; on the other side were top powers from the Blazing Sun Realm, demanding a prisoner and Lin Nannan. These two forces, these two powerful pressures, simultaneously locked onto Hongjun, and also onto the Primordial World.

Hongjun looked at the Chaos Demon God and Lieyangzi's group before him and suddenly laughed. This laugh held no warmth whatsoever; instead, it was filled with a chilling coldness and ruthlessness, and his eyes blazed with fury. He was the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World, wielding the Great Dao of the Primordial World; the Primordial World was his Achilles' heel, how could he allow outsiders to manipulate him so wantonly?

"Hahaha..." Hongjun's laughter echoed in the void, filled with boundless rage and majesty. "Do you really think my primordial world is a soft persimmon that can be bullied by everyone?"

Before he finished speaking, Hongjun unleashed an incomparably powerful pressure, far surpassing any previous pressure. This pressure contained the primordial power of the Great Dao of the Primordial World, and like a tsunami, it crushed towards the Chaos Demon God and Lieyangzi's group. The void trembled violently, and countless cracks spread out. Even the Chaos Demon God and Lieyangzi couldn't help but change their expressions, instinctively circulating their power to resist.

"One by one, you dare to demand things from my Primordial World, putting on such an aggressive posture." Hongjun's voice was icy cold, his gaze sharp as a knife as he swept over the Chaos Demon God and Lieyangzi. "Today, I will show you whether you have the strength to take things from the Primordial World or run wild there!"

"The Primordial Heavens Grand Array, activate!"

With a mighty roar, Hongjun's voice pierced through the endless void, resounding throughout every corner of the primordial world. The powerful beings of the primordial world, already prepared, immediately channeled their full power into the Primordial Heavenly Array upon hearing Hongjun's command. In an instant, countless golden rays surged forth from the mountains, rivers, and famous peaks of the primordial land, converging into a dazzling golden curtain that enveloped the entire primordial world.

The Grand Array of the Heavens was a protective array set up by Hongjun in conjunction with the primordial saints, using the primordial mountains and rivers as its foundation, the origin of heaven and earth as its guide, and the faith of countless living beings as its momentum. Its power is boundless, capable of repelling external invasions and also of gathering primordial power to launch a counterattack. At this moment, the array is activated, the golden light curtain grows ever brighter, and boundless primordial power surges forth from the array, spreading along the world's barriers, resonating with the Daoist aura surrounding Hongjun, forming an even more formidable force.

The Chaos Dragon Demon's expression turned solemn. Sensing the terrifying power emanating from the great formation, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes: "This is bad! This great formation contains the power of the primordial origin; its power is extremely strong!"

Lieyangzi also abandoned his previous arrogance, his brows furrowed, and purple lightning surged around him: "I didn't expect Hongjun to have set up such a powerful formation. It seems that today's matter will not end well."

Hongjun stood amidst the radiant light of the grand formation, his body radiating golden light and enveloped in Daoist aura, seemingly merging with the primordial Dao, his strength increasing several times over. He calmly gazed at the two powerful forces before him, his tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Either retreat immediately, and this matter will be forgiven; or remain in this endless void, buried forever!"

The Flame Demon trembled with rage, wanting to step forward and fight, but was stopped by the Chaos Dragon Demon. The Chaos Dragon Demon stared intently at Hongjun and the grand array behind him, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. If they forced a battle, even if they could break through the array, they would pay a heavy price. Moreover, Lieyangzi and his group were watching them closely, and they might very well reap the benefits.

Lieyangzi was also weighing the pros and cons. His main purpose in coming here was to bring back Lin Nannan and his subordinates. If he were to fight against Hongjun and the Chaos Demon God at the same time, it would be of no benefit to the Lieyang Realm. He glanced at the Chaos Demon God, then looked at Hongjun, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

In the endless void, the three forces once again found themselves in a stalemate. Hongjun, backed by the Primordial Heavens Array, exuded an overwhelming aura; the Chaos Demon God and Lieyangzi's group, however, wore solemn expressions, caught in a dilemma. Golden primordial power, gray-black chaotic aura, and purple blazing sun energy collided, forming a magnificent yet dangerous energy barrier. The void itself distorted and trembled under the impact of this force.

Lin Nannan, suppressed in the secret realm, still hadn't recovered her strength and couldn't activate her teleportation ability, but she could clearly feel the powerful energy fluctuations and tense atmosphere outside. She huddled in a corner, her heart filled with unease. She was worried that Hongjun and the powerful beings of the prehistoric world wouldn't be able to withstand the two major forces, and she was also filled with guilt for the series of troubles she had caused.

On the altar of the Forbidden Soul Land, the black and red spear suddenly trembled slightly. Wei Yu's divine soul within the spear sensed the disturbance, especially the aura of the Chaos Demon God, causing it to tense slightly. He could vaguely perceive that the Chaos Demon God was demanding the very spear he was attached to, but he couldn't understand what secret this spear held that could attract so many Chaos Demon Gods.
