Go Get It Back For Me

Meanwhile.

"Fire Cloud Cave is just ahead. Hongyun must be hiding in his cave dwelling, refining the Primordial Violet Qi!"

"Hmph, 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 Grand Unity!"

Two figures flew towards Fire Cloud Cave at extreme speed.

It was Kunpeng and Old Ancestor Minghe, returning from Treasure Distribution Rock.

This time, they intended to kill Hongyun and snatch the Primordial Violet Qi from him.

"Hmm? Kunpeng and Old Ancestor Minghe are here already?"

Hongyun, who was preparing to refine the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, sensed the two figures tens of thousands of miles outside Fire Cloud Cave. A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes.

2 The Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud Displays Its Might, Tricking Kunpeng Again

"Hongyun, get out here!"

"Hand over the Primordial Violet Qi quickly, or you will perish today!"

"Hongyun, if you don't come out, we'll break into Fire Cloud Cave!"

Kunpeng and Old Ancestor Minghe arrived before Fire Cloud Cave, shouting aggressively.

They gave the impression that if words failed, they would charge into Fire Cloud Cave, kill Hongyun, and seize his Primordial Violet Qi.

Hongyun frowned and stood up.

Currently, his Primordial Violet Qi was still being refined in the Cauldron of Fortune, and the poison had not yet permeated it.

Hongyun estimated that it would take at least several hundred more years for the Primordial Violet Qi to reach a level capable of poisoning a Saint.

However, if his divine avatar were to die at the hands of Kunpeng and Minghe now, it would not achieve the effect of tricking Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

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

But the timing of his death was in his own hands!

Unless Dao Ancestor Hongjun was about to merge the Primordial Violet Qi with the Heavenly Dao and he still wasn't dead, then Dao Ancestor Hongjun would likely have to act personally.

Thinking of this...

Whoosh!

Hongyun's figure flickered, and he appeared outside Fire Cloud Cave.

"Hongyun, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi quickly, and we'll give you a swift death today!"

Seeing Hongyun's figure, Kunpeng immediately roared.

He had long harbored extreme hatred for Hongyun. In Kunpeng's view, if it weren't for Hongyun, his Purple Cushion would not have been lost.

If his Purple Cushion hadn't been lost, he would now be a Saint's disciple.

If he were a Saint's disciple, then the Primordial Violet Qi would surely have a share for him.

If the Primordial Violet Qi had a share for him... perhaps he would have become a Saint by now!

In short, it was all Hongyun's fault!

Hongyun must die today!

"Hongyun, where did you take nine-tenths of my Netherworld Blood Sea? Hand it over quickly!"

Old Ancestor Minghe looked at Hongyun and roared as well.

The loss of nine-tenths of his Netherworld Blood Sea had prevented him from reaching the Quasi-Saint realm to this day.

Otherwise, with the powerful Netherworld Blood Sea, Old Ancestor Minghe might have already become a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, or even late-stage Quasi-Saint.

Hate!

Old Ancestor Minghe also hated Hongyun intensely.

However, because he was only at the peak of Grand Unity, the same realm as Hongyun, and Hongyun's strength had somewhat exceeded his expectations, he had not dared to seek revenge alone.

"You two, you want the Primordial Violet Qi just based on you?"

Hongyun glanced calmly at the two, a deep disdain in his eyes, and mocked.

"How dare you! You will surely die today!"

"Seeking death!"

Seeing Hongyun's contemptuous look, Kunpeng and Minghe were instantly enraged.

In an instant, the two unleashed their magical treasures and attacked Hongyun.

Swish!

But at this moment, Hongyun let out a cold laugh and waved his hand, unleashing the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.

Then, Hongyun rode the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, instantly transforming into a stream of light and flying into the distance.

"Not good, this fellow is trying to escape!"

"Chase him, we can't let him get away!"

Seeing Hongyun about to escape, Kunpeng and Minghe grew anxious.

Kunpeng immediately spread its massive wings and gave chase to Hongyun.

Similarly, Minghe dared not delay. He summoned his flying magical treasure, pushed it to its limit, and pursued Hongyun, intent on killing him.

Standing atop the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, Hongyun saw their actions clearly.

"So slow! Too slow, too slow!"

Hongyun pouted.

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

Now, the speeds of Kunpeng and Old Ancestor Minghe were no different from ants crawling in Hongyun's eyes.

And so...

Hongyun flew ahead, with Kunpeng and Old Ancestor Minghe in hot pursuit behind him.

Hongyun manipulated the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, gradually increasing his speed.

Gradually, Kunpeng and Minghe began to fall behind.

Seeing that if they continued like this, they would likely lose Hongyun.

"Minghe, you keep chasing from behind. I'm going to use my Wing-Shaking Divine Ability to catch up to Hongyun. Otherwise, he'll escape!"

Kunpeng said, looking at Old Ancestor Minghe beside him.

"Alright! You must catch him, kill him, and snatch the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea!"

Old Ancestor Minghe knew his own strength was inferior and was holding Kunpeng back. He quickly nodded.

Caw!

Immediately, Kunpeng let out a cry, and its entire body expanded. Its wings became like a sky-covering, sun-obscuring phenomenon.

With a flap of its massive wings, Kunpeng's body became like a bolt of lightning. Its speed surged several times faster than before, instantly shooting forward.

Seeing this, Hongyun nodded as well.

At the same time, he activated the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud and accelerated again.

With the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud, even if Kunpeng's speed surged to its limit, it couldn't catch up to Hongyun.

In this manner, the two, one in front and one behind, managed to shake off Old Ancestor Minghe by hundreds of millions of miles.

Only then did Hongyun fully unleash the power of the Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud.

"Kunpeng, goodbye!"

Hongyun looked back at Kunpeng, who was already exhausted and sticking out its tongue, panting, and said with a faint smile.

Then, before Kunpeng's dumbfounded eyes, Hongyun's speed suddenly surged several times more.

"This... how is this possible!"

Kunpeng was utterly bewildered.

He had already pushed his speed to its absolute limit, exhausting himself like a dog. Now, it seemed the other party hadn't used his full strength at all.

After shaking off Kunpeng by hundreds of millions of miles, Hongyun drew an arc in the sky and returned the way he came.

Bypassing Kunpeng, Hongyun soon encountered Old Ancestor Minghe, who was catching up from behind.

"You... where's Kunpeng?"

The moment he saw Hongyun, Old Ancestor Minghe was also bewildered.

What was going on?

Wasn't Kunpeng chasing Hongyun ahead? Why was Hongyun returning now?

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

Hongyun put on a mournful face, and coupled with his disheveled appearance from just now.

"I was caught up by Kunpeng, and he snatched the Primordial Violet Qi, and... he even snatched your Netherworld Blood Sea!"

Hongyun said.

Then, he glared hatefully at Old Ancestor Minghe and continued, "Minghe, although I'm no match for Kunpeng, you and I are both at the peak of Grand Unity. How about we fight again!"

With that, Hongyun struck a pose as if he was about to fight.

"Forget it, forget it. Since that's the case, our grievances are settled!"

Upon hearing that Kunpeng had obtained the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea, Old Ancestor Minghe immediately said.

After all, he knew that his chances of winning a fight against Hongyun alone were not high.

It would be too disadvantageous if he were killed by Hongyun.

Now that the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea were no longer with Hongyun, he might as well go find Kunpeng to demand them.

With that, Old Ancestor Minghe quickly steered his magical treasure and flew into the distance.

He truly feared that Hongyun might fly into a rage and attack him for losing his precious treasure.

Seeing this, Hongyun secretly chuckled.

Next, it was time to watch the show between Old Ancestor Minghe and Kunpeng. Perhaps he could even trick Kunpeng. Wouldn't it be wonderful to receive another System reward then?

Afterward, Hongyun didn't rush back to Fire Cloud Cave. It wasn't impossible for Kunpeng to come looking for him at Fire Cloud Cave, so Hongyun decided to fly towards the Lunar Star instead. He recalled that Changxi and Xihe had invited him to visit again when he had free time. Now was the perfect opportunity. At least for the next few hundred years, Hongyun wouldn't be returning to Fire Cloud Cave.

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

Old Ancestor Minghe searched the Great Desolation for several days but found no sign of Kunpeng. After all, Kunpeng's speed was incredibly fast. After Hongyun left, he had returned to Fire Cloud Cave. However, he found no trace of Hongyun.

Meanwhile, Old Ancestor Minghe, fearing pursuit by the Blood Mosquito Daoist, could only return to the Solar Star first. "Dijun, has that Kunpeng returned?" Old Ancestor Minghe asked Dijun as soon as he arrived at the Solar Star. "No, didn't you go to kill Hongyun? How did it go?" Dijun inquired. Eastern Emperor Taiyi, standing nearby, also looked curious. They knew that Hongyun possessed the Primordial Violet Qi, which held immense allure for any Great Desolation powerhouse. Previously, Dijun and Taiyi had planned that once Kunpeng and Old Ancestor Minghe had seized the Primordial Violet Qi, it would become a supreme treasure for the Demon Clan. Then, whoever between him and Taiyi advanced to Saint first would be the one to use it. "Dijun, Taiyi, that Kunpeng has already snatched Hongyun's Primordial Violet Qi, and even my Netherworld Blood Sea is in his hands!" Upon hearing that Kunpeng hadn't returned, Old Ancestor Minghe's expression soured, and he blurted out. "What, the Primordial Violet Qi is already in Kunpeng's hands?" Dijun and Taiyi exclaimed in unison. The Primordial Violet Qi was too precious, directly related to the chance of becoming a Saint, so they couldn't help but take it very seriously. "Yes! And judging by the time, Kunpeng should have returned long ago! But why...?" Old Ancestor Minghe was puzzled. Kunpeng's speed was several times his own. He had already rushed back to the Solar Star, but Kunpeng had not. "Could it be that he... is refining the Primordial Violet Qi himself?" Eastern Emperor Taiyi suddenly guessed. Hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's words, Dijun felt a sense of foreboding. "This Kunpeng, instead of bringing back the Primordial Violet Qi after obtaining it, dares to refine it himself!" "Does he even have us, the Demon Emperors, in his eyes!" Dijun roared in anger, his heart filled with indignation. "No! This is the last piece of Primordial Violet Qi! We can't let Kunpeng refine it! Otherwise, our chances of becoming Saints won't increase!" Eastern Emperor Taiyi exclaimed. "Exactly! Let's hurry and find Kunpeng, and get back the Primordial Violet Qi and the Netherworld Blood Sea!" Old Ancestor Minghe quickly added. He knew his chances of obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi were slim, but the Netherworld Blood Sea was his treasure. It had to be retrieved. Dijun, Taiyi, and Old Ancestor Minghe, without another word, immediately prepared to go out into the Great Desolation again to search for Kunpeng's whereabouts. They had to find him before he could refine the Primordial Violet Qi. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures transformed into three streaks of light and flew forward. But... Before they could even leave the Solar Star, they saw a pair of enormous wings flapping as they flew towards them. The three of them focused their gaze and their faces lit up with joy. The one arriving was none other than Kunpeng.

"Hahaha, Kunpeng, you've returned at just the right time. Quickly hand over the Primordial Violet Qi so we can have a look!"

Upon seeing Kunpeng, Dijun got straight to the point.

He was afraid that Kunpeng might have already refined the Primordial Violet Qi, or might come up with some other excuse to try and keep it for himself.

"Indeed, Kunpeng, you've done a great job this time. The Demon Clan will surely not forget your contributions! Hurry and bring out the Primordial Violet Qi!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi chimed in quickly as well.
