Go Get It Back for Me

Meanwhile.

"The Fire Cloud Cave is just ahead. Hong Yun must be hiding in his cave abode, refining the Primordial Violet Qi!"

"Hmph, and he thinks he can refine the Primordial Violet Qi? That's a supreme treasure needed to become a Saint. He's only at the peak of the Great Overarching Realm!"

Two figures flew toward Fire Cloud Cave at tremendous speed.

They were Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe, returning from the Rock of Dividing Treasures.

This time, they intended to kill Hong Yun and seize the Primordial Violet Qi from him.

"Hm? Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe are actually here already?"

Hong Yun had been preparing to refine the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. When he sensed the two figures tens of thousands of miles outside Fire Cloud Cave, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud Displays Its Might, Tricking Kunpeng Once More

"Hong Yun, come out!"

"Hand over the Primordial Violet Qi at once, or you'll die without a soul remaining today!"

"Hong Yun, if you still refuse to come out, we'll charge into Fire Cloud Cave!"

Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe arrived before Fire Cloud Cave and shouted loudly.

They looked ready to charge into Fire Cloud Cave at the slightest provocation, kill Hong Yun, and seize his Primordial Violet Qi.

Hong Yun frowned and rose to his feet.

His Primordial Violet Qi was still being refined inside the Cauldron of Fortune, and the venom had yet to seep into it.

Hong Yun estimated that it would take at least several hundred years before the Primordial Violet Qi could reach a level capable of poisoning a Saint.

But if his mythological avatar died at the hands of Kunpeng and Minghe now, it would completely ruin his plan to trick Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Hong Yun knew that once he died, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would reclaim the Primordial Violet Qi.

But when he died was entirely in his own hands!

Unless Dao Ancestor Hongjun was already about to use the Primordial Violet Qi to merge with the Heavenly Dao while Hong Yun still refused to die. At that point, Hongjun would probably intervene personally.

At that thought...

Whoosh!

Hong Yun's figure flashed, and he appeared outside Fire Cloud Cave.

"Hong Yun, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi! I'll at least let you die quickly today!"

The moment he saw Hong Yun appear, Kunpeng immediately shouted.

He hated Hong Yun to the core. In Kunpeng's view, if not for Hong Yun, he would never have lost the Purple Cushion.

If he had not lost the Purple Cushion, he would now be a Saint's disciple.

If he were a Saint's disciple, he would certainly have received a share of the Primordial Violet Qi.

And if he had received a share of the Primordial Violet Qi... perhaps he would already have become a Saint!

In short, everything was Hong Yun's fault!

Hong Yun had to die today!

"Hong Yun, where did you put the ninety percent of my Netherworld Blood Sea? Hand it over immediately!"

Ancestor Minghe also glared at Hong Yun and roared.

Ninety percent of his Netherworld Blood Sea had been lost, preventing him from reaching the quasi-Saint realm even now.

Otherwise, relying on his powerful Netherworld Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe might have already become a mid-stage quasi-Saint. Reaching the late stage might not even have been impossible.

Hate!

Ancestor Minghe hated Hong Yun just as fiercely.

However, he was only at the peak of the Great Overarching Realm, the same realm as Hong Yun. Moreover, Hong Yun's strength had exceeded his expectations, so he had not dared to come alone to seek revenge.

"You two think you can take the Primordial Violet Qi?"

Hong Yun glanced calmly at the two of them, his eyes filled with deep contempt as he sneered.

"You've got some nerve! You'll definitely die today!"

"Courting death!"

Seeing the contemptuous way Hong Yun regarded them, Kunpeng and Minghe immediately flew into a rage.

In an instant, the two of them summoned their magic treasures and struck at Hong Yun.

Swish!

But at that moment, Hong Yun sneered and waved his hand, summoning the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.

Then Hong Yun mounted the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, which instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance.

"Not good! That bastard is escaping!"

"After him! Don't let him get away!"

When they saw Hong Yun flee, Kunpeng and Minghe both grew anxious.

Kunpeng immediately spread his enormous wings and chased after Hong Yun.

Minghe likewise did not dare to delay. He summoned his flying magic treasure, drove it to its limit, and pursued Hong Yun.

Standing atop the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, Hong Yun saw their every move clearly.

"So slow! Too slow. Far too slow!"

Hong Yun curled his lips.

With the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, he was now the fastest being in the Great Desolation.

In Hong Yun's eyes, Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe's speed was no different from ants crawling.

Thus...

Hong Yun flew ahead while Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe pursued him from behind.

Hong Yun controlled the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and gradually increased his speed.

Before long, Kunpeng and Minghe began to fall behind.

If they continued chasing like this, they would probably lose Hong Yun.

"Minghe, follow slowly from behind. I'm going to use my Wing-Shaking Divine Ability. That's the only way I can catch Hong Yun. Otherwise, he'll get away!"

Kunpeng looked toward Ancestor Minghe and spoke.

"Fine! You must catch him and kill him. Take the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea!"

Ancestor Minghe knew that his strength was inferior and that he was dragging Kunpeng down, so he hurriedly nodded.

Caw!

Kunpeng let out a sharp cry. His entire body suddenly expanded, and his pair of wings seemed to blot out the sky and cover the earth.

With a single flap of his enormous wings, Kunpeng's body shot forward like a bolt of lightning. His speed surged several times over, and he instantly chased ahead.

Seeing this, Hong Yun nodded as well.

At the same time, he urged the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud to accelerate once more.

With the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, even if Kunpeng's speed reached its limit, he still could not catch Hong Yun.

In this way, the two of them left Ancestor Minghe billions of miles behind.

Only then did Hong Yun suddenly unleash the full might of the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.

"Kunpeng, see you around!"

Hong Yun looked back at Kunpeng, who was already utterly exhausted and panting with his tongue hanging out, and smiled calmly.

Then, under Kunpeng's dumbfounded gaze, Hong Yun's speed suddenly surged several times over again.

"This... How is this possible?"

Kunpeng was completely stunned.

He had already unleashed his speed to the limit and was exhausted like a dog. Yet now it seemed that his opponent had not even used his full strength before.

After leaving Kunpeng billions of miles behind, Hong Yun drew an arc through the sky and returned along the way he had come.

After bypassing Kunpeng, Hong Yun soon encountered Ancestor Minghe, who was pursuing from behind.

"You... Where's Kunpeng?"

Ancestor Minghe was also stunned when he saw Hong Yun.

What was going on?

Wasn't Kunpeng chasing Hong Yun from ahead? Why had Hong Yun returned?

"Minghe, I suffered a huge loss this time!"

Hong Yun put on a mournful expression, and he had also made himself look extremely disheveled.

"Kunpeng caught up with me and seized the Primordial Violet Qi. And... he even took your Netherworld Blood Sea!"

Hong Yun spoke.

Then he glared resentfully at Ancestor Minghe and continued,

"Minghe, although I'm no match for Kunpeng, you and I are both at the peak of the Great Overarching Realm. How about we fight again?"

As he spoke, Hong Yun made as if he were about to launch into a great battle.

"Forget it, forget it. Since that's the case, our grudge is settled!"

Hearing that Kunpeng had already obtained the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea, Ancestor Minghe immediately spoke.

After all, he knew that if he fought Hong Yun alone, his odds of victory were low.

If Hong Yun killed him, it would be far too costly.

Now that the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea were no longer in Hong Yun's hands, he could simply go find Kunpeng and demand them back.

Ancestor Minghe immediately mounted his magic treasure and flew into the distance.

He was truly afraid that Hong Yun, enraged by losing such treasures, would launch into a fierce battle with him.

Hong Yun watched this with a secret smile.

Next, he just had to watch the show between Ancestor Minghe and Kunpeng.

Perhaps he could even trick Kunpeng again.

If he obtained another system reward then, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Hong Yun did not hurry back to Fire Cloud Cave.

It was entirely possible that Kunpeng would return to Fire Cloud Cave to find him, so Hong Yun simply flew toward the Lunar Star.

He remembered that Changxi and Xihe had invited him to visit again whenever he had time. This was the perfect opportunity.

At least for the next several hundred years, Hong Yun would not return to Fire Cloud Cave.

Demanding the Primordial Violet Qi, Kunpeng Breaks with the Demon Clan

Ancestor Minghe searched the lands of the Great Desolation for several days but did not see Kunpeng anywhere.

Kunpeng's speed was simply too fast. After Hong Yun left, he had returned to Fire Cloud Cave.

Yet he had not found any sign of Hong Yun.

At the same time, Ancestor Minghe feared being pursued by the Blood Mosquito Daoist, so he could only return to the Solar Star first.

"Dijun, has Kunpeng returned?"

As soon as Ancestor Minghe arrived at the Solar Star, he asked Dijun.

"No. Weren't you going to kill Hong Yun? How did it go?"

Dijun asked as well.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who stood nearby, also wore a curious expression.

After all, Hong Yun possessed the Primordial Violet Qi, something that held an enormous attraction for every powerful figure in the Great Desolation.

Dijun and Taiyi had already decided that once Kunpeng and Ancestor Minghe seized the Primordial Violet Qi, they would take it as a supreme treasure of the Demon Clan.

When the time came, whichever of him and Taiyi advanced to sainthood first would use it.

"Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng has already seized Hong Yun's Primordial Violet Qi. He even has my Netherworld Blood Sea!"

Hearing that Kunpeng had not returned, Ancestor Minghe's expression darkened, and he immediately spoke.

"What? The Primordial Violet Qi is already in Kunpeng's hands?"

Dijun and Taiyi shouted at the same time.

The Primordial Violet Qi was far too precious and concerned one's chances of becoming a Saint, so the two of them could not help but take it extremely seriously.

"That's right! And judging by the time, Kunpeng should have returned long ago! But why...?"

Ancestor Minghe was puzzled.

Kunpeng was several times faster than him. He had already returned to the Solar Star, yet Kunpeng had not.

"Could he be refining the Primordial Violet Qi himself?"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi immediately guessed.

Hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words, Dijun also sensed that something was wrong.

"That Kunpeng obtained the Primordial Violet Qi but didn't bring it back. He actually dares to refine it himself!"

"Does he even regard us Demon Emperors?"

Dijun shouted angrily, resentment filling his heart.

"No! This is the last Primordial Violet Qi. We can't let Kunpeng refine it! Otherwise, our chances of becoming Saints won't improve!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi shouted.

"Exactly! Hurry and find Kunpeng. Get the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea back!"

Ancestor Minghe hurriedly spoke as well.

He knew that his chances of obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi were low, but the Netherworld Blood Sea was his treasure.

He had to get it back.

Dijun, Taiyi, and Ancestor Minghe immediately prepared to return to the lands of the Great Desolation and search for Kunpeng.

They had to find him before he refined the Primordial Violet Qi.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three figures transformed into three streaks of light and flew ahead.

But...

Before they had even left the Solar Star, they saw a pair of enormous wings flapping as they flew toward them.

The three of them focused their eyes and immediately revealed delighted expressions.

The newcomer was none other than Kunpeng.

"Hahaha, Kunpeng, you came back at just the right time.

Quickly, bring out the Primordial Violet Qi and let us have a look!"

The moment Dijun saw Kunpeng, he got straight to the point.

He was afraid that Kunpeng had already refined the Primordial Violet Qi or would use some other excuse to keep it for himself.

"Indeed, Kunpeng, you handled this matter very well. The Demon Clan will certainly never forget your contribution! Quickly, bring out the Primordial Violet Qi!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi hurriedly spoke up as well.
