Hongjun acted on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Dealing with Heavenly Dao Saints like Nüwa and Tongtian could not have been easier. Even as Saints, they were utterly incapable of resisting at this moment.
From the moment Nüwa and the others became Heavenly Dao Saints, everything about them had effectively been controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Or rather, everything belonging to a Heavenly Dao Saint was controlled by the Heavenly Dao.
This was actually the same for the Saints of Huaxia. As Huaxia's "Heavenly Dao," Heavenly Dao Nüwa could likewise directly strip Saints of their power, leaving them with nothing.
It was simply that she normally would not do such a thing, and Huaxia's Saints would not harbor disloyal thoughts either. A situation like this was basically impossible.
But now, for the Honghuang World, whether it was Nüwa or Tongtian, helping an outsider like Chen Mu was undoubtedly an act of betrayal.
They had betrayed the Honghuang World and betrayed the Honghuang Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, Hongjun felt no pressure whatsoever in dealing with Nüwa and Tongtian.
After all, to him, Heavenly Dao Saints were nothing compared to devouring the Heavenly Dao of other worlds.
The Saints of the Honghuang World might be exceedingly rare, and becoming a Saint might be extremely difficult, but that was only because the Heavenly Dao could not be bothered to appoint more Saints.
If a Saint's position became vacant, the Heavenly Dao could easily appoint new Saints. If Nüwa and Tongtian fell, Hongjun could simply bestow two more strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi and establish two new Saint positions. After all, the Primordial Universe had no shortage of Great Luo Golden Immortals qualified to become Saints. As long as there was a suitable pretext and the Heavenly Dao tacitly allowed it, they could become Saints.
