" Taiyi?!"
Di Jun looked at the familiar figure and exclaimed in surprise.
He never expected that Taiyi would come here!
"Get out of here! You shouldn't have come here!"
Di Jun roared anxiously, his voice hoarse.
He knew all too well how terrifying Hongjun was. Even he, a saint, was easily crushed like an ant. For Taiyi to come here would be tantamount to courting death!
However, Taiyi ignored his cries.
He stepped forward to Di Jun and helped his seriously injured brother up.
There was no fear in his eyes, only a resolute determination to live and die with his brother.
"Brother," Taiyi's voice was low, "We are brothers, bound by blood, sharing the same fate. If you are in trouble, how can I, your younger brother, remain unaffected?"
Supporting the weak Di Jun, he stared coldly at Hongjun before him and angrily demanded, " Hongjun! If you want to kill my elder brother, you'll have to get past me, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, first!"
"Foolish! Run!" Di Jun struggled, trying to push Taiyi away, his eyes filled with anxiety and pain. "You haven't even stepped into the Holy Realm yet; you'll only die here! Go!"
"Oh?" Hongjun let out a soft exclamation, as if he had heard an amusing joke, a slight smile curving his lips. "An ant dares to bark at me?"
Upon hearing this, Taiyi did not back down. He said in a deep voice, "So what if you're an ant? So what if you're a sage? You dare to scheme against my nephew and harm my elder brother, I will fight you to the death! Even if I die today, my soul scattered, what does it matter?!"
"I suppose my nine nephews suddenly went out of control and wreaked havoc on the Primordial Wilderness; this was also part of your scheme, Hongjun?!"
He wasn't stupid. From his elder brother's solo arrival at the Purple Cloud Palace and his previous instructions that sounded like he was giving his last instructions, he had already pieced together the clues and guessed the truth of the matter.
When faced with Taiyi's questioning, Hongjun merely smiled coldly and did not answer.
Then, he flicked his sleeve.
"Bang!"
A powerful force appeared and struck Taiyi directly!
Taiyi had no time to defend himself and was sent flying backward, spitting out blood as he crashed to the ground some distance away. The Chaos Bell let out a mournful cry, and its light dimmed slightly.
" Taiyi!"
Di Jun's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to crawl toward Taiyi.
Hongjun's indifferent voice was as cold as ice. "An ant like you dares to question me? What are you anyway?"
Taiyi lay on the ground, his breath weak, blood constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Big... brother... I... can't... let... you... face... this... alone..."
Di Jun gripped Taiyi's hand tightly, feeling his life force drain away. Finally, Di Jun couldn't hold back his tears, which dripped onto the back of Taiyi's hand. " Taiyi... you shouldn't have come... you shouldn't have come..."
Taiyi gripped Di Jun's hand tightly, shook his head, and said haltingly, "Since... he... is... heartless... we... will... fight... him!"
Seeing the resolute look in Taiyi, Di Jun took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "Good! Good brother! Since that's the case, then we two brothers will join forces today to shake this merciless Heavenly Dao!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Jun and Taiyi supported each other. They were covered in blood and wounds, their breaths were weak, but their auras continued to surge, and their eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
Hongjun and the others wore disdainful smiles. "What? You think you can defeat me? How utterly foolish."
"Very well, killing one is the same as killing one. Today, you will all perish!"
Di Jun and Taiyi exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.
The next moment, Di Jun abruptly turned to look at Hongjun, " Hongjun! No matter how much you scheme and plot, you will never surpass Dao Venerable Lin Tian! In his presence, you will always be just a pathetic pursuer! A loser who only dares to scheme behind the scenes!!"
The name " Lin Tian " was like the sharpest needle, piercing deeply into Hongjun's Dao Heart!
Hongjun's usually placid face instantly turned ashen!
A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes!
"Court death!"
Enraged, Hongjun unleashed his attack, instantly condensing a divine light of destruction that hurtled towards Di Jun and Taiyi!
" Chaos Bell! Protect!"
Taiyi's eyes were bloodshot as he burned his last bit of primordial essence and frantically activated the Chaos Bell!
"When--!!!"
The Chaos Bell emitted a mournful and majestic tolling, its body swelling as it attempted to block Hongjun's attack.
However, even the most powerful creation treasures are powerless before the power of Hongjun's Heavenly Dao Realm without sufficient driving force!
"Snap!"
The destructive divine light and the Chaos Bell collided with a deafening roar!
The stalemate lasted less than a moment before the Chaos Bell let out a mournful cry, its radiance completely dimmed, and it was blasted away. Taiyi, whose mind was connected to the bell, was hit as if by a heavy blow, and coughed up blood.
However, the destructive divine light remained undiminished in power, instantly piercing through Taiyi's body!
Taiyi's body stiffened abruptly. He looked down at his chest, then at Di Jun beside him. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.
The next moment, under Di Jun's gaze, Taiyi's body shattered inch by inch, turning into specks of starlight and completely vanishing into nothingness!
"No--!!! Taiyi!!!"
Di Jun let out a heart-wrenching roar, watching helplessly as his only brother was annihilated before his very eyes!
" Hongjun!!! You will die a horrible death!!!"
Pain and hatred consumed Di Jun's last shred of sanity, driving him to utter madness as he burned his own saintly essence!
He's going to self-destruct!
Avenge Taiyi!
"Want to self-destruct? You don't even have the right to choose in front of me!"
Hongjun's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Di Jun, placing a palm on Di Jun's forehead.
"Buzz-!"
An irresistible force surged into Di Jun's body in an instant, forcibly suppressing the violent energy within him!
No~~~
Di Jun wanted to resist, but under the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm, he could do nothing.
Immediately afterwards, the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi within Di Jun's body was forcibly ripped from Di Jun's primordial spirit by Hongjun Jun!
As the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi left his body, Di Jun's saintly aura instantly dissipated, and his aura plummeted, eventually stabilizing at the late Quasi-Saint level.
" Hongjun ~~~You deserve to die~~~"
Hongjun looked at the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi in his palm, then at Di Jun on the ground, whose breath was weak and whose eyes were empty, and said indifferently:
"Everything you have is a gift from me. Now that you have lost your value, you should return to your origin."
With a slight thought, Di Jun, who was lying on the ground, suddenly shuddered, and then his physical body exploded!
Golden sparks scattered and flew everywhere, only to vanish into nothingness in an instant.
Not even a fragment of its true spirit remained; it was utterly annihilated.
Di Jun, the former emperor of the Demon Race and Heavenly Dao Saint, vanished completely from the Primordial Wilderness world without leaving a trace.
Peace returned to the Purple Cloud Palace.
Only the dim and lifeless Chaos Bell floated silently in the distance.
With a wave of his hand, Hongjun restored all the buildings around him that had been damaged in the battle to their original state.
Hongjun remained expressionless, gave a cold snort, and put away the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi.
Just then, two people walked in from outside the palace gate. They were Haotian and Yaochi, the attendants of Hongjun.
Sensing the lingering aura of destruction and the chilling pressure within the palace, the two men paled and knelt respectfully, not daring to raise their heads. "Greetings, Master."
Hongjun gave a faint "hmm," his gaze falling on Haotian: "How's the matter I asked you to handle?"
Haotian hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Master, this disciple has followed your instructions and gone to Shouyang Mountain to convey the decree to Senior Brother Taiqing."
"Good."
Hongjun said no more, and his figure slowly faded away.
The Chaos Bell in the corner also disappeared.
In the empty hall, only Haotian and Yaochi remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
