Chapter 500
Heaven Bestows Power, Demon Race Returns to the Primordial World! Rahu: You dare to talk
"After all these years, you're still as elusive as ever, only capable of sneak attacks? What, back when the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts ended, I stole your share of the Chaos Demon God's Origin, and you still hold a grudge? Do you intend to use the same old tricks again today?"
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue!
The entire primordial world fell into a deathly silence!
Hongjun?! The one who just made the move was Dao Ancestor Hongjun?!
The Celestial Mystery Daoist... actually stole the Dao Ancestor's opportunity?!
The end of the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts?! The origin of the Chaos Demon God?!
This...this amount of information is overwhelming! The entire universe feels like its brains can't keep up!
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun's face instantly turned ashen!
He never expected that this Taoist priest would not only block his attack, but also reveal his identity in a single sentence, and even uncover that long-buried past that he considered shameful!
This is like slapping him in the face in front of billions of living beings!
"The Taoist Master of Heavenly Secrets!"
Hongjun's figure appeared outside Zixiao Palace for the first time!
He was dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, standing high in the sky, surrounded by the laws of the Heavenly Dao, exuding supreme majesty!
But beneath that imposing aura lay a raging inferno!
He stared intently at the Heavenly Mystery Palace, his voice as cold as ice that echoed throughout the primordial world.
"Stop spouting nonsense! This is the primordial world, with its own natural order! As an anomaly, you have disrupted the Heavenly Dao and deserve to be punished! Retreat at once! Otherwise, don't blame me for acting on behalf of Heaven and erasing you and this dilapidated palace together!"
"Acting on behalf of Heaven?"
A sneer, full of disdain, came from the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
"Hongjun, put away your hypocritical rhetoric! You are nothing but a puppet who luckily obtained a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation and stole the authority of the Heavenly Dao! A lackey who attaches himself to the Heavenly Dao, eliminating dissidents and reaping its fortune! How dare you talk about acting on behalf of Heaven?"
"you wanna die!"
Hongjun was utterly enraged!
As the Dao Ancestor and the First Saint of the Primordial World, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation?!
The four words "lackey of Heaven's Way" pierced through all his pretense and pride!
"The power of Heaven! Slay the heretics!"
Hongjun held nothing back!
He formed a hand seal and activated the Jade Disc of Creation!
A heavenly power, ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than before, suddenly descended! Above the nine heavens, the wind and clouds changed color!
An even larger, more solid, and world-destroying Heavenly Dao hand condensed once more!
Three clearly defined divine rings of law, representing the third level of the Saint realm, were wrapped around this giant hand!
Each divine ring contains terrifying power capable of destroying stars and reenacting the cycle of earth, water, fire, and wind!
All living beings in the primordial world were terrified! A full-force attack from a Saint of the Third Heaven!
This is a terrifying power capable of returning the primordial world to chaos! Can the Heavenly Mystery Daoist... withstand it?
"It's over! Tianji Palace is finished!"
"The Dao Ancestor is enraged! A Saint of the Third Heaven! Who can withstand him?!"
"What a pity... that glimmer of hope was ultimately just an illusion..."
"The Witch Clan... is still doomed..."
Desperate sighs echoed throughout the primordial wilderness.
Everyone believed that the Heavenly Mystery Palace would be reduced to dust in the face of Hongjun's furious attack!
However, just as the three giant palms of the Heavenly Dao were about to strike, a cold smile appeared on the lips of Emperor Jun (his clone) in the Heavenly Mystery Palace.
This is the moment he's been waiting for!
"Hongjun! Do you think you're the only one who can invoke the power of the Heavenly Dao?"
Di Jun's voice was filled with madness.
"Today, I will show you what the true will of Pangu is!"
He suddenly raised his hand, and a crimson light, as red as blood, shone from his fingertip! It was the Pangu Blood Mark!
Without hesitation, he poured all his power into the mark!
The Pangu Blood Qi Mark instantly erupted with dazzling blood light!
An ancient, vast, and terrifying will, as if it were at the beginning of creation, suddenly awakened from the mark!
This will is filled with indomitable spirit! It is filled with anger! It is filled with the ultimate resistance against the constraints of the Heavenly Dao!
Meanwhile, Buzhou Mountain is the ancestral home of Pangu!
The Pangu mark on Houtu's wrist, which had been glowing faintly and was constantly infused with her essence blood, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling blood light!
A surge of emotion originating from the depths of her blood erupted within her!
She felt as if her consciousness was being drawn by an immense power, instantly connecting with the distant will of Pangu!
"Father God...the will!"
Houtu cried out in shock!
She subconsciously raised her hand and pointed at the giant palm of the Triple Heavenly Dao that descended from the sky!
An indescribably enormous, blood-red giant hand, formed purely from the blood and indomitable will of Pangu, suddenly emerged from the depths of Buzhou Mountain, in the direction pointed by Houtu's fingertips!
This giant hand is wrapped in the chaotic energy that created the world, radiating the ultimate power to shatter all shackles!
It carried Pangu's roar against the Heavenly Dao, the grief and indignation of the Wu Clan's bloodline, and Houtu's resolute will, tearing through the void and fiercely meeting the giant palm of the Triple Heavenly Dao!
The Will of Pangu! Manifest!
The giant palm of the Three Heavens Dao, wrapped with the divine ring of laws representing the three heavens realm of saints, carried the terrifying power to crush all heavens and return to chaos. It tore through the void and slammed down on the Xuanhuang Palace above the central continent!
This was a furious strike from Hongjun, the full power of a Saint of the Third Heaven!
The entire primordial world trembled under the pressure of this palm strike! All living beings believed that the Heavenly Mystery Palace would surely be reduced to dust!
However, just as the giant hand was about to touch the layer of mysterious yellow light membrane outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace—
The yellowish-brown light membrane suddenly lit up!
Countless ancient and mysterious runes rapidly flowed, appeared, and disappeared on the light membrane!
A protective force originating from the primordial chaos and embodying the principle of simplicity suddenly erupted!
This power was not a direct confrontation, but rather like the most precise millstone, breaking down, peeling away, devouring, and annihilating the terrifying power of laws contained in the giant palm of the Three Heavenly Dao layer by layer!
The three divine rings of law wrapped around the giant hand crumbled and dissipated inch by inch, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!
That colossal hand, capable of destroying the world, silently and completely dissolved the moment it touched the light membrane!
The Heavenly Mystery Palace remained steadfast and unmoved! The primordial yellow light membrane flowed without even a ripple!
"puff!"
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun suddenly spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood! The Creation Jade Disc flashed violently!
His face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and... indescribable fear!
His proud, all-out attack from the third level of the Saint Realm was so easily neutralized?!
How can this be? !
What exactly is this mysterious yellow light membrane?!
"Hongjun!"
In the Heavenly Mystery Palace, that indifferent voice rang out again, carrying undisguised mockery.
"The third level of sainthood? The power of the Heavenly Dao? Nothing more than that! You can't even break through the protective formation of my little palace. Do you deserve to be called the Dao Ancestor? Do you deserve to act on behalf of Heaven? Truly... a laughing stock!"
"you……!"
Hongjun was so angry that he trembled all over, and his Dao heart was violently shaken!
He activated the Jade Disc of Creation, frantically deducing the origins and weaknesses of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, and the background of this Heavenly Mystery Daoist!
However, all that could be seen by divine sense was chaos!
That dark yellow light membrane was like a bottomless black hole, swallowing and distorting all the power of deduction!
He couldn't even find any causal clues related to himself in it!
It's as if the Heavenly Mystery Palace and the Heavenly Mystery Daoist exist independently of the primordial world!
This made him feel an unprecedented sense of frustration and powerlessness!
"Humph!"
Hongjun forcibly suppressed his surging blood and boundless rage. He knew that if he continued to attack, he would only become a laughingstock!
He took a deep look at the immovable Heavenly Mystery Palace, then his figure slowly disappeared into the heavens, leaving only a cold sentence echoing in the void.
"Master Tianji! You have disrupted the order of Heaven and will surely be punished by Heaven! You should think twice!"
The gates of Zixiao Palace slammed shut, isolating the inside from the outside.
Hongjun sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his face ashen, the Jade Disc of Creation spinning wildly, clearly plotting something.
But at this moment, he really couldn't do anything to the Heavenly Mystery Palace!
The primordial beings were already stunned by this earth-shattering collision and its outcome!
"Blocked...blocked?! A full-force attack from a Saint of the Third Heaven...blocked?!" "Completely unharmed! The Heavenly Mystery Palace didn't even budge!"
"Heavens! Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't do anything to him?!"
"Who...who exactly is this Celestial Mystery Daoist?!"
"A glimmer of hope! Indeed, a glimmer of hope! A protection that even the Dao Ancestor couldn't break through!"
This Heavenly Mystery Palace must possess power that reaches to the heavens and penetrates the earth!
After a brief period of deathly silence came a deafening roar and frenzy!
Having witnessed Hongjun Daozu's angry attack fail to achieve anything and was even ridiculed by Tianji Daoren in public, the awe and trust of the prehistoric beings towards Tianji Palace instantly reached its peak!
Countless cultivators who were originally observing and hesitating now rode their escape lights, tore through the void, and rushed towards the Heavenly Mystery Palace in the Central Continent without regard for anything else!
That place was their only hope! It was the true holy land of the path!
"Tianji Palace! Wait for me!"
An unprecedented light burst forth in Zhurong's eyes!
Without further hesitation, his million-foot-long fiery true form transformed into a golden meteor that tore through the sky, and at top speed, he was the first to rush to the huge palace gate of the Heavenly Mystery Palace!
"Pfft!"
Without hesitation, Zhu Rong knelt heavily on both knees in the cold void!
His proud head was bowed deeply, and his voice, filled with unprecedented earnestness and sorrow, resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Senior Tianji! I am Zhu Rong, the ancestral witch of the Wu clan! I humbly beg you to show my Wu clan a way to survive! Hundreds of millions of my Wu clan's sons and daughters have been slaughtered by the Demon Court and are on the verge of death!"
"I beg for your mercy, senior! Save my Wu clan! Zhu Rong is willing to pay any price! Even if it means being shattered to pieces and having his soul scattered, he will not hesitate!"
The direction of the sun.
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Bai Ze watched as Hong Jun's angry attack failed, as all the beings of the prehistoric world surged towards the Heavenly Mystery Palace, and as Zhu Rong knelt before the Heavenly Mystery Palace, pleading in sorrow. Their faces were so gloomy that they were almost dripping with water!
"Damn it! That damned Taoist Tianji!"
Taiyi was furious, and the Chaos Golden Bell trembled violently.
"How dare he protect the witch clan?!"
He's making an enemy of my Demon Court!
"Zhu Rong! We must not let him enter the Heavenly Mystery Palace!"
A murderous glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes.
"If we allow him to survive, the Witch Clan will rise from the ashes, posing an endless threat! Kill him! Immediately!"
"Let's do it!"
Bai Ze waved his feather fan, his eyes equally cold and sharp!
He knew that he had to make a decisive decision at this moment!
Three terrifying attacks instantly traversed endless space, tearing through the void, and aimed directly at Zhu Rong, who was kneeling before the Heavenly Mystery Palace!
Di Jun drew upon the true fire of the sun, unleashing a crimson-gold pillar of light that would incinerate all things!
Taiyi shook the Chaos Golden Bell, unleashing a destructive bell wave that shattered space and time!
Bai Ze waved his feather fan, and countless profound runes became chains that annihilated the souls of gods!
The three attacks came from a Quasi-Saint, a Primordial Golden Immortal, and a Quasi-Saint, respectively!
Its power was so terrifying that it could instantly wipe out the heavily injured Zhu Rong along with the space in which he was located!
Even the Ancestral Witches at their peak would not escape severe injury or even death when faced with this combined attack!
"Blessing!"
Inside the Pangu Temple on Buzhou Mountain, the ancestral witches, including Dijiang and Houtu, were furious!
They wanted to send reinforcements, but they were too far away! They wanted to activate the temple, but it was too late!
He could only watch helplessly as the three world-destroying attacks descended upon Zhu Rong's head!
Zhu Rong also sensed the deadly crisis!
He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with despair!
But he did not dodge or resist; he simply stared intently at the tightly closed gates of the Heavenly Mystery Palace and roared hoarsely.
"Senior! Save my Witch Clan—!"
At this critical moment!
Outside the Heavenly Mystery Palace, the protective light membrane, which was filled with flowing Xuanhuang runes, suddenly expanded outward!
Like a giant bubble, it instantly enveloped Zhu Rong, who was kneeling in front of the palace gate!
Three devastating attacks slammed into the Xuanhuang light membrane!
There was no earth-shattering explosion! No deafening roar of laws shattering! Only silent annihilation!
The moment Di Jun's Solar True Fire, Tai Yi's Chaos Bell Wave, and Bai Ze's Extinction Rune touched the light membrane, they were decomposed, devoured, and turned into nothingness by the flowing runes! Not even a ripple was stirred!
"what?!"
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Bai Ze's expressions changed drastically!
Their combined attack was so easily neutralized?!
Just how powerful is this protective formation?!
"Humph!"
Within the Heavenly Mystery Palace, that indifferent voice, carrying a chilling majesty, resounded throughout the primordial world:
"Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles in front of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, all fighting is strictly prohibited! Violators will be deemed to have provoked me and will bear the consequences!"
The sound was not loud, but it was like a decree from the heavens, carrying an unquestionable power of rules!
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Bai Ze felt an invisible, powerful force descend upon them, locking them in place!
It was as if any further action by them would bring about utter destruction!
The three men's faces were ashen, their breaths churning, yet they dared not move an inch further!
They had no doubt that this Taoist Master of Heavenly Secrets possessed this ability!
Zhu Rong knelt within the light membrane, feeling the three attacks that were enough to kill him being easily neutralized. Looking at the angry but speechless expressions of Di Jun and the other two, he felt a surge of joy at surviving a calamity and boundless awe for the Heavenly Mystery Daoist!
He kowtowed again, his voice more sorrowful, yet more resolute:
"Thank you for saving our lives, senior! We beg your mercy! Show my Wu tribe a way out! Zhu Rong... on behalf of the millions of Wu tribe members, kowtows to express our deepest gratitude to you, senior!"
Before the Heavenly Mystery Palace, a shimmering membrane of primordial light flowed, isolating the inside from the outside. Zhu Rong knelt on the ground, his voice filled with sorrow and pleading, echoing throughout the primordial wilderness.
"Please have mercy, senior! Show my witch clan a way to survive!"
Within the Heavenly Mystery Palace, that indifferent voice slowly resounded, like the grand pronouncements of the Great Dao, clearly reaching the ears of every living being:
"The Wu Clan, descendants of Pangu, are blessed with extraordinary advantages. However, what you cultivate is not the physical body, but the bloodline! The power of the bloodline is a legacy from our Father God Pangu, containing the power of creation! You have abandoned the essential for the trivial, wasting your brute strength in vain. How can you not be defeated?"
These words were like a thunderclap!
Inside the Pangu Temple, the ancestral land of the Wu tribe, all the ancestral Wu, including Dijiang and Houtu, and even hundreds of millions of Wu warriors, were shaken to their core! Bloodline?!
Their proud Ancestral Witch True Form and Great Witch Body actually originate from the power of their bloodline, rather than simply physical strength?!
"Bloodline...it's the power of bloodline?!"
Zhu Jiuyin's Eye of Time flashed with light, as if enlightened!
"So that's how it is! No wonder we, with our powerful true forms, have always been unable to reach higher realms! It turns out we've been going in the wrong direction!"
Gonggong's eyes flashed with a brilliant light!
"Bloodline! Father God's bloodline!"
Zhu Rong was so excited that she trembled all over!
The voice of the Taoist Priest continued:
There are two paths to survival. (End of Chapter)
