Entering Chaos; The Sky's the Limit, Like a Bird Taking Flight; The Sea's Vast, Like a Fish Leaping Free! [Please Bookmark and Send Flowers]

Shen Lang was fairly confident in this operation.

After all, as long as he made it into the chaos, it would not be a loss!

However, just as Shen Lang was preparing to risk his life, Hongjun's voice suddenly rang out.

"Which fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation? Wait there, and allow me to lend you a hand!"

Shen Lang naturally had no idea who was speaking, but when he saw the White Jade Golden Bridge flying over, he knew who it was.

That was because the White Jade Golden Bridge had transformed into a Taiji Diagram, with the Yin-Yang Two Energies circulating around it!

The Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram had originally been Ancestor Taiji's companion treasure. After Ancestor Taiji fell during the Dao-Devil War, this supreme treasure had fallen into Daoist Hongjun's hands!

Now that the Taiji Diagram had come to his aid, the one making the move was naturally Daoist Hongjun.

But here was the question: Why was Daoist Hongjun helping him deal with the Heavenly Dao? He was the Heavenly Dao's representative!

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Lang's mind, and he already had some guesses!

The Heavenly Dao's Violet Eyes were probably focused mainly on Hongjun. Perhaps this fellow was playing a game against the Heavenly Dao. Maybe they had even fallen out.

So he's helping me now to make me share the Heavenly Dao's pressure? In reality, he's helping himself!

Although he had no idea what Hongjun was plotting, Shen Lang instinctively felt that he could not let Hongjun's scheme succeed.

The next moment, Shen Lang decisively reined in the power of his Sword Soul and no longer attempted to split his sword.

Whoosh—

Shen Lang nimbly hid beneath the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram!

Since you want to help, then help all the way!

Just then, the first wave of Violet Firmament Divine Thunder descended. The Triple Violet Firmament Divine Thunder crashed down upon the Taiji Diagram in its entirety.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Triple Violet Firmament Divine Thunder descended one after another. The Taiji Diagram blazed with endless rays of light, scattering billions upon billions of auspicious colors.

It was an Innate Supreme Treasure, after all. Though it had no Spiritual Sense, it was by no means something ordinary Violet Firmament Divine Thunder could destroy. After trembling for a moment, it stabilized once more.

"Impressive! As expected of an Innate Supreme Treasure!"

Shen Lang finally understood why Tongtian was so obsessed with Innate Supreme Treasures. Who would not want such a fine treasure?

When the Heavenly Dao's Violet Eyes saw the Taiji Diagram appear, the fury hidden within their cold gaze surged even more violently.

The second bolt, condensed from Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder, suddenly accelerated countless times before merging together in an instant.

Nine-colored lightning nearly filled the void as it roared down from the depths of the firmament!

Before it even descended, the Taiji Diagram was already shaking violently.

At that moment, Hongjun's furious and alarmed voice rang out again. He shouted urgently, "Fellow Daoist, make your move quickly! Attack it together!"

Clearly, even Hongjun, who was controlling the Taiji Diagram, could not treat this fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder lightly.

Even if this Violet Firmament Divine Thunder landed on him, he would not emerge unscathed!

Shen Lang heard Hongjun's furious roar, but... completely pretended not to!

Thus, Shen Lang continued obediently hiding beneath the Taiji Diagram. As for making a move, with Hongjun present, why should he bother?

"Fellow Daoist, if you do not act now, when will you?"

Hongjun shouted angrily. He even controlled the Taiji Diagram to pull away from Shen Lang, but Shen Lang nimbly slipped back inside.

I can't hear you, I can't hear you. The tortoise is chanting scriptures!

Because the fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder had locked onto Shen Lang, Hongjun could no longer control the Taiji Diagram to leave even if he wanted to!

On Jade Capital Mountain, Hongjun was beside himself with rage.

Damn it! I kindly came to help you, and you should at least put up a fight! Why are you hiding beneath my Innate Supreme Treasure?

Of course, Hongjun could also see that this fellow wanted a free ride, making him do all the work!

But now that the arrow was already nocked, he had no choice but to fire. He had to contribute even if he did not want to!

Damn it. Once I enter the Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, I will definitely settle accounts with this fellow!

However, this fellow's concealment technique was incredibly powerful. Even now, Hongjun still could not see through his origins!

He had no idea which Chaos God-Demon Remnant Soul this was from back then!

At this very moment, the fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder finally tore through the void and descended!

"Should be able to withstand it, right?"

Even while hiding beneath the Innate Supreme Treasure, Shen Lang was still somewhat worried. The power of this fused divine thunder was truly formidable!

The Taiji Diagram was at least one of the Three Treasures of World Creation. It should be able to withstand it, right?

Moreover, the one currently activating the Taiji Diagram was a Primal Golden Immortal, and even someone with one foot in the Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm—Daoist Hongjun.

Boom—

The Taiji Diagram radiated ten thousand zhang of light before finally colliding with the fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder.

The Taiji Diagram had been transformed from fragments of Pangu's axe. It was infinitely profound and possessed boundless Fortune. It could even dissolve all attacks and ignore defenses.

But how could the Heavenly Dao not know this?

Thus, the fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder was not targeting the Taiji Diagram itself, but the living being controlling it!

The Taiji Body sank continuously beneath the bombardment of the fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder.

With every descent, a muffled groan came from within. It was Hongjun's divine sense avatar inside the Taiji Diagram suffering severe injuries!

Of course, Shen Lang was not faring well either. The force of the vibrations transmitted through the Taiji Body was not weak, and was even no less powerful than the earlier single-type Violet Firmament Divine Thunder.

Because of this, Shen Lang had no choice but to split another Sword Soul Primordial Spirit.

However, compared to the attack Hongjun was suffering within the Taiji Diagram, what Shen Lang endured was merely the aftershock.

Boom, boom, boom—

The fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder continued bombarding the Taiji Diagram, while Hongjun's muffled groans within grew weaker and weaker.

The power of the fused Nine Layers Divine Thunder also rapidly declined along with it.

After less than half an incense stick's time, the glow of the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram completely dimmed. There was no longer any sound of Hongjun from within.

The fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder could not destroy the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram, but it had forcefully blasted the divine sense Hongjun had imprinted inside into nothingness!

In other words, the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram was now ownerless!

But Shen Lang had only suffered the aftershock and had basically sustained no injuries, all thanks to Hongjun's careful protection!

At the same time, the fused Nine Layers Violet Firmament Divine Thunder also dispersed!

"The opportunity has come!"

Shen Lang finally stopped hiding. Taking advantage of the moment, he split another Sword Soul Primordial Spirit and charged straight toward the Heaven and Earth Membrane!

Of course, he could not leave the Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram behind. The moment he moved, he swallowed it into his True Body, the Chaos Green Lotus Seed.

Hongjun had kindly helped him survive the tribulation and had even specially given him an Innate Supreme Treasure. If he did not take it, would that not be letting down Hongjun's sincere goodwill?

The Heavenly Dao's Violet Eyes were still shining and circulating, seemingly preparing to condense the Violet Firmament Divine Thunder again.

However, the two consecutive waves of Violet Firmament Divine Thunder had clearly consumed a great deal of energy.

Moreover, most of the burden had fallen on Hongjun, causing the Violet Firmament Divine Thunder to condense rather slowly this time.

Shen Lang specifically chose this opening. With the support of his Sword Soul Primordial Spirit splitting his sword, he appeared beside the Heaven and Earth Membrane in the blink of an eye.

"Hongjun, thank you!"

Shen Lang's first words spoken in the Primordial World were offered to the great benefactor Hongjun.

Then, his sword light cleaved through the Heaven and Earth Membrane, and his True Body, the Chaos Green Lotus Seed, plunged into the chaotic void in an instant.

On Jade Capital Mountain, Daoist Hongjun's hair was disheveled, and large patches of blood stained the ground. The surrounding laws raged like a flood, leaving cracks all over his body.

"How dare you! How dare you!"

When Daoist Hongjun's divine sense had been destroyed inside the Taiji Diagram, his Primordial Spirit had suffered a shock and severe injury. At the time, he had wanted to head toward the depths of the firmament.

But the Heavenly Dao's Violet Eyes had struck him while he was down, turning around and intensifying the pressure on his side. This left him unable to travel through space, forcing him to watch helplessly as Shen Lang carried away his Innate Supreme Treasure Taiji Diagram right before his eyes...

Having reached his current position, Daoist Hongjun had always been the one tricking others. When had he ever been tricked?

Was he really helping that unknown Chaos God-Demon Remnant Soul this time?

Just as Shen Lang had thought, he wanted Shen Lang to fly into a rage and draw more of the Heavenly Dao's attention, thereby reducing the pressure on his side.

Ever since he had begun to Attain Dao through Laws, he had been enduring the Heavenly Dao's wrath and suffering its forceful suppression!

The Heavenly Dao would not allow him to become a saint through laws. It wanted him to entrust his spirit to the Heavenly Dao and become a Heavenly Dao Grand Unity Golden Immortal rather than a Primal Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

It was only because Hongjun had once received too much favor from the Heavenly Dao and accumulated such profound reserves that he had not been suppressed long ago—or perhaps forced to submit.

He had already been at a disadvantage, so Shen Lang's appearance gave him hope.

As long as Shen Lang dealt with the Heavenly Dao alongside him with his help, the pressure on his side would be greatly reduced, giving him some time to break through.
