"Luohu, today I shall rid the Primordial World of a scourge like you."
At that moment, Hongjun stood beneath the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud, facing Luohu from afar. By this point in the battle, both sides had suffered grievous losses. Of the four great immortals who had besieged Luohu, only Hongjun and Yang Mei remained. Luohu was no better off. The God-Slaying Spear had been damaged, even the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus had vanished during the battle, and the destruction of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had caused a backlash that gravely wounded him.
"Luohu, your cause is lost. Are you ready to die?"
Hongjun and Yang Mei, both clad in tattered robes, looked down at Luohu.
"Hmph, do you think you've already won? Even if I die, I won't let you off easily."
Luohu frantically circulated his mana and guided it toward the western ley lines. In an instant, heaven and earth changed, and the ley lines throughout the entire west were stirred by Luohu.
"This is bad! He wants to detonate the ley lines and perish with us! Stop him!"
Hongjun and Yang Mei were horrified. Once the ley lines of the entire west detonated, even Quasi-Saints would be at risk of perishing in the resulting blast.
Moreover, if the western dragon veins were destroyed, it would be difficult for the west to produce another great power in the future. The two hurriedly attacked, unleashing torrents of mana at Luohu as though it cost them nothing.
Even the Heavenly Dao was dumbfounded. It desperately mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao in an attempt to suppress the western ley lines. If the western ley lines were destroyed, the Heavenly Dao would suffer as well.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the entire west was blasted upside down.
Because Hongjun had promptly summoned the All-Heavens Auspicious Cloud to protect himself, he merely coughed up a mouthful of blood from the blast.
Yang Mei was not so fortunate. Even though he had swiftly used the Law of Space to evade it, he was still severely wounded by the explosion. The Heavenly Dao fell into slumber as well.
As for Luohu, the culprit behind it all, his supreme treasures had all been destroyed, and he had already been heavily injured in the previous battle. Now, only his final breath remained.
"Hahaha, Hongjun, I lost this time, but it isn't over yet."
Luohu's eyes were filled with madness.
"Great Dao above, I, Luohu, hereby swear a Great Dao oath. I shall transform myself into an Outer Realm Sky Demon. From this day onward, as demons rise, the Dao declines; when the Dao rises one foot, demons rise ten feet. The Demon Sect is established!"
Luohu was a peak Quasi-Saint, only one step away from becoming a Saint. At this moment, he bypassed the Heavenly Dao and directly swore a Great Dao oath. The Great Dao responded, and the demonic path was destined to be established.
Luohu's face was deathly pale. The victor became king, and the loser became a bandit. A loss was a loss.
"Hehehe, as long as the demonic path remains, I, Luohu, shall remain eternal."
With that, Luohu dissipated between heaven and earth. Luohu, the Demon Ancestor of a generation, had finally perished.
But at that very moment, a bead radiating primordial chaos aura suddenly appeared.
It slowly spun in the air, absorbing the essence blood the three had left behind in the Primordial World during the battle.
After absorbing the essence blood, a trace of consciousness slowly emerged within the bead, filled with bloodline power intimately connected to all three of them.
This caused Hongjun and Yang Mei's expressions to change drastically.
And that was not all. A missing corner of the Jade Disc of Creation seemed to have received some kind of summons and actually appeared on its own, merging with it.
One had to know that the Jade Disc of Creation represented the Heavenly Dao. This missing corner represented the One That Escaped, the sliver of life left for the living beings of the Primordial World.
What the hell was this???
Hongjun and Yang Mei were both stunned as they looked toward the bead floating in the air.
It had fused with their blood. Did that mean they had a child now?
But it had fused with all three of their blood. Whose child was it supposed to be?
And the Heavenly Dao had gotten involved too.
What was this supposed to mean?
"Forget it. It seems we are fated to share a father-son bond with him."
Looking at the bead that possessed his bloodline power, Hongjun spoke helplessly.
"I intend to establish the Dao Sect, and since you are my child, you shall be called Xuan Yi from now on. Your Dao title shall be Xuan Qingzi. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei?"
"As you say, Fellow Daoist."
Yang Mei had already cursed Hongjun's entire ancestry in his heart.
He was badly wounded, while Hongjun's injuries were lighter. Two tigers could not share one mountain, and he might not be able to defeat Hongjun. He could not afford to offend him rashly.
Still, the bead carried his bloodline after all, and Yang Mei could not bear to simply leave it be.
"Forget it."
Yang Mei pointed with one hand, and a branch slowly appeared before merging into the bead.
"This is a branch containing the Law of Space. Today, I give it to you. Once you fuse with it, you may comprehend the Great Dao of Space. When I attain the Great Dao, I will come see you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Mei used the Law of Space and fled rapidly beyond the Primordial World. If he did not escape now, Hongjun might leave him in the Primordial World forever.
Hongjun did not pursue the fleeing Yang Mei. Yang Mei's Law of Space was unfathomably profound. If Yang Mei wished to flee, Hongjun truly could not keep him here. He could only make plans later.
Looking toward the west, which had been ruined by the ley line explosion, Hongjun felt a headache coming on. Luohu had really left him with a huge mess to clean up.
After gathering the scattered magical treasures, he summoned the bead before him.
Meanwhile, Hong Luo was utterly bewildered. He had originally been a promising young man from the twenty-first century.
He had been helping an elderly woman cross the road when a meteor in the sky struck him. Then his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw an old face looming right in front of him. Hong Luo was so frightened that he began screaming.
"What the hell, old man? What are you doing? Molestation!"
Unfortunately, no sound came out.
Hong Luo was instantly dumbfounded. Looking again, he realized that he had turned into a bead.
"Did I transmigrate? Why did I become a bead? And where did I transmigrate to?"
"Transmigrators are supposed to have systems, right?"
"System, are you there?"
"Moshi moshi?"
Hong Luo called out in his heart ten thousand times, but no system appeared.
"I'm done for, I'm done for. I don't even have a system, and I'm a bead on top of that. I'm completely finished. Why is my fate so miserable?"
At that moment, the bead emitted a mysterious radiance, and a vast amount of information flooded into Hong Luo's mind.
"So that meteor was the Primordial Chaos Bead? I transmigrated into the Primordial Chaos Bead?"
The Primordial Chaos Bead had originally been a primordial chaos supreme treasure, the number one treasure of the Primordial Chaos World. Unfortunately, when primordial chaos shattered, the Primordial Chaos Bead was heavily damaged and devolved into a Houtian Supreme Treasure.
It had then carried Hong Luo across endless space and time, its original consciousness worn away. Later, it absorbed the essence blood of three supreme experts and a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, allowing Hong Luo to take over the magpie's nest. At this moment, Hong Luo had obtained all the cultivation techniques recorded within the Primordial Chaos Bead for free.
On the other side, sensing the bloodline power emanating from the bead, Hongjun could not help but feel a surge of affection.
"I am Daoist Hongjun of Jade Capital Mountain. Since you possess my bloodline, you shall be my son from this day forth. Xuan Yi, your Dao title shall be Xuan Qingzi."
"Hongjun? So I transmigrated into the Primordial World."
"No, wait. Hongjun's son? Holy crap, this isn't some apocalyptic start. This is an absolute god-tier start!"
"Haha, the glorious life of Hong Luo has arrived! No, from now on, I'm Xuan Yi."
Xuan Yi grinned so widely that his mouth nearly split. As Hongjun's son and the Primordial Chaos Bead itself, wouldn't he be able to swagger around from now on?
Who was Hongjun? He was the future Dao Ancestor. What a great father to have. Whoever dared provoke him in the future, he could just shout that his father was Hongjun. Just thinking about it thrilled him, not to mention that he was also the Primordial Chaos Bead.
If Xuan Yi knew that he also carried the bloodlines of two other great powers, who knew whether he would be so overwhelmed that he fainted on the spot.
"Alright, this matter is settled. Little fellow, come back to Jade Capital Mountain with me."
