The Battle Ends
Hongjun remained silent in the face of Fuxi's question.
At this point, he was in a bind.
Just as expected, after Hongjun discovered that Fuxi's cultivation was no weaker than his own, and that he could not defeat Fuxi instantly.
Faced with the potential destruction of the Primordial Continent that a battle between him and Fuxi might cause, Hongjun dared not engage in a war with Fuxi.
However, as the Dao Ancestor, Hongjun was unwilling to accept this, so he chose to remain silent, intending to stall Fuxi in this way, while hoping that the four of them—Yuanshi, Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti— would realize that something was wrong.
They quickly entered the battlefield to help the Heavenly Court gain an advantage.
As long as the Heavenly Court gains the upper hand on the battlefield, he will have the leverage to negotiate with Fuxi.
But Hongjun waited for a long time and still did not see Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti descend to the mortal realm.
Even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who was nearby, did not make a move, but stared intently at the silent confrontation between him and Fuxi.
Hongjun: "..."
At this moment, he felt both angry and frustrated. These incompetent disciples!
Little did Hongjun know that both Yuanshi on the battlefield and Laozi, Jieyin, Zhunti in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall had already realized that Fuxi's strength was comparable to that of their master.
However, faced with the fact that Fuxi and his master were at the same level, their choice was not to quickly enter the fray as Hongjun had hoped, to help the Heavenly Court gain an advantage and give Hongjun control over the discourse.
Instead, they all chose to stand by and watch, to avoid being punished by Fuxi in the future.
After all, his master had merged with the Heavenly Dao and spent most of his time in the Zixiao Palace in charge of the Heavenly Dao, while Fuxi could act at will within the Primordial World.
Although they were Sage, they still knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm.
Faced with the Heavenly Court's repeated defeats, the four of them were extremely anxious, hoping that their master could reveal his trump card and defeat Fuxi to salvage the situation.
After a standoff between Fuxi and Hongjun lasted for about fifteen minutes, Hongjun, realizing that his four disciples would not intervene, silently gave in.
He paused for a moment, then spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, with our cultivation levels, if we disregard the Primordial World and engage in a fierce battle, the Primordial World itself might perish. Let's skip this great battle."
"So Daoist Hongjun is aware that we are not in a position to act recklessly at our current level," Fuxi said with a mocking smile.
Hongjun knew that Fuxi was mocking his original plan to attack, but he didn't care. He turned his head and looked around at the battlefield.
On the south side of the battlefield, after the Three Xiao used the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation to reduce the cultivation of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, they stopped attacking, but did not withdraw the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. The mighty Yellow River flowed high on the left side of the battlefield, intimidating the powerful figures of the Heavenly Court.
The battle within the area where the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was located had long ended. The victorious Human Race Soldiers were clearing the battlefield as they imprisoned the Heavenly Court's prisoners of war inside the Mohist School's mechanisms.
On the north side of the battlefield, the Zhou Tian Stars Great Array, under Bai Ze's command, was fiercely fighting against the Mountains and Rivers, and the State Great Array, but Hongjun could see that the effect was minimal.
With the Landscape of Mountains and Rivers, and the State as its centerpiece, the Mountains and Rivers, and the State Great Array is simply not something that the Zhou Tian Stars Remnant Array Formation, which lacks both the River Diagram and Luo Book and the Chaos Bell as its main treasures, can withstand.
The Zhou Tian Stars Great Array is currently only holding on thanks to a few Quasi-Sage like Bai Ze and Shangyang within it. Given enough time, it will surely be broken.
On the east side of the battlefield, where the Dragon Clan's Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals and crab generals clashed with nearly half of the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, the battle was extremely fierce, with both sides locked in a stalemate.
But the Dragon Clan was just one of the many races in the Primordial World. The Heavenly Court, as the legitimate successor of Primordial World primordial world supported by the Mystic Sect, was fighting to a standstill against a Dragon Clan that had long since withdrawn from the stage of history. This was already a defeat for them.
The western side of the battlefield, which is near Chentang Pass, is currently the only one of the four battlefields that looks relatively acceptable.
The battle in this war zone is between the Human Race and the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Court. Because Suiren Shi wanted to activate the altar to worship Human Path, the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Human Race threw out their Merit Spiritual Treasures.
This caused their original advantage with Magic Treasures to vanish, exposing their weaknesses as newly promoted Daluo Golden Immortals.
Therefore, in this war zone, the Heavenly Court can be considered to have the upper hand, as many ancient and powerful beings are still able to fight back even when surrounded by several people.
However, Hongjun knew that there were quite a few powerful Daluo Golden Immortals within the Human Ancestral Land, not to mention that with the appearance of the Human Path Supreme Treasure, the altar was no longer of any use.
Once those Human Race Daluo Golden Immortals' Magic Treasures are gone, the Heavenly Court will surely suffer a great defeat.
Faced with the current state of defeat of the Heavenly Court, Hongjun had no more arrogance to speak of. At present, she had only merged with the Heavenly Dao, but had not yet transcended Heavenly Dao, so she still needed the Mystic Sect and the Heavenly Court.
Hongjun looked at Fuxi before him, a gentle smile appearing on his face, and said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi surely does not wish to see the Primordial World shattered. Why not end this farce here?"
"The Heavenly Court represents the orthodox way of Heavenly Dao, Human Race represents the orthodox Human Path. Within the Primordial World, the Heavenly, Human, and Earthly Daos are indistinguishable, so why should they quarrel so fiercely?"
"Oh, really?" Fuxi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Hongjun's shameless words. No wonder he was the mastermind behind the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.
Previously, he claimed to be the orthodox ruler of the Primordial World, and wholeheartedly wanted to encompass the Human Path and Earthly Dao paths with the Heavenly Dao. Now that he has found that he cannot be subdued, he immediately became the orthodox ruler of the Heavenly Dao, Heavenly, Human, and Earthly Daos are no longer distinguished within the Primordial World.
That's a remarkably flexible bottom line!
"But this farce doesn't seem to have been started by the Human Race in the first place."
"This matter was decided on arbitrarily by my Daoist disciple Haotian, and I will naturally give you an explanation."
In just a few words, the final outcome of this battle was decided.
The two attacked simultaneously, breaking through the concealment that had been shrouding them and preventing those below the Sage level from detecting them, thus appearing before the eyes of the many cultivators on the battlefield.
In an instant, the battlefield fell silent. All Divine Ability Arts and spells vanished without a sound.
All the formations collapsed instantly.
All the strange phenomena vanished like a dream, a bubble, and then disappeared.
The Primordial World within the battlefield, ravaged by Divine Ability Arts, and the Great Dao Rhymes disrupted by numerous Great Luo Immortals, were all restored to their pre-war state at this moment.
A Qingfeng swept through Chentang Pass, and all the cultivators from the Human Race appeared inside the Chentang Pass, while all the cultivators from the Heavenly Court appeared on the East Sea.
As for the Dragon Clan and their Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, Hongjun threw them all into the depths of the East Sea.
Everything looked as if nothing had happened.
The appearance of Hongjun and Fuxi did not bring any imposing pressure, nor did the heavens and earth display any extraordinary phenomena. However, the shock they brought to the many cultivators on the battlefield far exceeded that of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, whose presence was accompanied by extraordinary phenomena and imposing pressure.
The great battle between the cultivators of both sides, the Human Race and the Heavenly Court, came to a complete end at this moment.
