"Hongyun!"

"Have you forgotten to address me as Master upon seeing this Dao Ancestor?"

At this moment, Hongjun's figure slowly rose. He looked at Hongyun with a somewhat gloomy expression, his eyes flickering with sharp glints.

Hearing Hongjun speak, the powerhouses of the Myriad Races of Hong Huang all revealed expressions of surprise. They ceased their movements one after another and turned their gazes toward Hongyun.

"Hum..."

Before Hongyun could respond, a humming sound reverberated throughout the entire Hong Huang.

Immediately following, the massive Supreme Hongmeng Ranking trembled slightly.

[Supreme Hongmeng Ranking Volume One: Rewards for the top thirty items on the Hong Huang Treasure Ranking are now being distributed. Please prepare to receive them!] [Reward for the thirtieth place distributed!] [Reward for the twenty-ninth place distributed!] [Reward for the twenty-eighth place distributed!] [Reward for the third place distributed!] [Reward for the second place distributed!] [Reward for the first place distributed!]

In an instant, streaks of astonishing light emerged from the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, the majority of which shot rapidly toward the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"Hahaha!"

"My reward is in hand!"

"The Sword Dao Origin of this venerable one is truly incomparably profound!"

"Hmph, this Emperor has completely mastered the Chaos Bell. From now on, I dare to battle even a Saint!"

"..."

For a moment, the Sanqing, who had been at daggers drawn with Hongyun just a moment ago, along with those who had received rewards, all let out exclamations of excitement.

This caused Jieyin and Zhunti, who had not received particularly good rewards, to have their expressions darken, their dissatisfaction growing even deeper.

Seeing this scene, Hongjun's brows were already tightly furrowed.

It seemed that the prestige he held as the Dao Ancestor had been greatly diminished by that Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.

If it were in the past, without him even needing to speak, the Sanqing and Nuwa would likely have already launched an attack on Hongyun by now.

Nuwa would even take the initiative to offer him the quota she had just obtained.

However, right now, the Three Pure Ones were only concerned with checking their treasure ranking rewards, while Nuwa was nervously avoiding his gaze, clearly unwilling to hand over her quota.

Thinking of this, his aura began to surge, and a shocking might instantly spread in all directions.

"Hmm?"

The powerhouses of the Myriad Races, who had been pleasantly surprised by their own rewards or secretly scheming after seeing others receive theirs, withdrew their focus at this moment and looked toward Hongjun.

Ever since the Dao-Demon Conflict, this Dao Ancestor had rarely revealed his might.

Now, was he actually becoming enraged because of Hongyun? Was he planning to take action?

It was just unclear whether this was the Dao Ancestor's own intention or the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Although they were not clear on the Dao Ancestor's strength, it was certainly above that of the Sages, and it was even possible he had reached the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm.

As for Hongyun's might, it appeared no weaker than a Sage's, yet the powerhouses of the Myriad Races of Hong Huang and the Six Sages could not discern his specific cultivation level.

This was the reason why, despite Hongjun revealing such powerful might, he did not strike immediately.

At this moment, Hongyun's body was flickering with astonishing Chaos Qi.

Although it was only a dharma body, its aura was continuously soaring.

"What is going on?"

"Could it be that Hongyun's true body is merging with those rewards?"

"That's right, I remember Hongyun's rewards included a Chaos Demon God Flesh Body and Chaos Origin!"

"If he merges with the Chaos Demon God Flesh Body, I'm afraid Hongyun's strength will be enough to achieve suppression over the Sages, right?"

"..."

Bursts of exclamations rang out, reaching the ears of Hongjun, Laozi, and the other Sages.

This caused Hongjun, who had just been preparing to strike, to hesitate once more.

Or rather, it was not that he himself was hesitating, but that the will of the Heavenly Dao did not dare to let him step forward and attack easily.

"Hongyun, why are you so slow?"

"Finish selecting your people and bring them in quickly; the Lord is already growing impatient!"

"If anyone dares to stand in your way, just cripple their cultivation!"

"..."

At this moment, the vortex surrounding Hongmeng Palace trembled slightly.

A series of cold shouts emanated from within Hongmeng Palace.

Immediately following, four manifestations of power, each no weaker than Hongyun, condensed into the shadows of Shenni, the Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and the First Qilin above the sky.

These four shadows were a full hundred thousand zhang tall, radiating a terrifying aura that made the experts of the myriad races dare not meet their gaze.

At this moment, even Hongjun could not help but tremble.

The strength of these fellows before him was no longer comparable to what it had been in the past. Moreover, the most mysterious Dao Lord Taichu had yet to appear. If he were to make a move now, he feared he would not even be able to set foot inside this Hongmeng Palace.

After pondering for a long time, the aura around his body rapidly retracted. With a flicker of his figure, he headed toward the Chaos.

"Hongmeng Palace must not be offended lightly!"

At the same time, the voice of Hongjun rang in the ears of the Six Sages.

This caused the expressions of the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti to tighten. They sighed slightly, retracted their auras one after another, and headed down toward the Thirty-Three Heavens.

"The Dao Ancestor is leaving just like that?"

"The five great sages are leaving too?"

"What is the situation?"

"I actually thought the Dao Ancestor would be able to attack and enter Hongmeng Palace this time!"

"Could it be that he is afraid?"

"Shh... do you want to lose your lives by recklessly discussing the Dao Ancestor?"

Although the experts of the myriad races dared not easily discuss the affairs of the Dao Ancestor and the various sages, they still let out bursts of exclamations.

They had not expected that before Dao Lord Taichu had even appeared, the Dao Ancestor and the various sages had already backed down.

[The first volume of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking has been updated. The second volume, the Cultivation and Combat Power Ranking, will be updated in one thousand years. Please stay tuned!]

At this time, the voice of the Supreme Hongmeng Ranking rang in the ears of all the living beings of the myriad races of Hong Huang.

"The second volume?"

"One thousand years?"

"Cultivation and Combat Power Ranking?"

"Do we have to wait that long?"

"Within a thousand years, our cultivation levels might be able to improve quite a bit!"

"Exactly. A thousand years is nothing to us. Who knows, we might even be able to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi!"

"..."

In an instant, the powerhouses of the myriad races began to cry out in succession.

In other words, after a thousand years, they would finally know what kind of realm Daoist Taichu of Hongmeng Palace truly occupied.

Furthermore, if they cultivated frantically within this millennium to improve their strength, they might even break into the top ninety-nine and receive rewards.

Or perhaps, this ranking was based on each individual realm, allowing many powerhouses to receive rewards?

Suddenly, those powerhouses who had been ready to fight to the death for benefits changed their minds.

"Second Brother, let us return to the Demon Race immediately. We shall continue our cultivation and prepare to improve our cultivation base and combat power!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, let us return to Kunlun Mountain immediately. Little Brother shall contemplate this Sword Dao Origin!"

"Let's go!"

"Return quickly! Begin secluded cultivation at once!"

"Within this millennium, I shall ignore all distractions and cultivate with all my might!"

"..."

Many powerhouses, and even Sages, began to abandon the idea of fighting for treasures.

The rewards had already been distributed; starting a conflict now would likely not yield easy gains.

Some powerhouses even manifested their protective treasures on the spot, beginning their cultivation right there above the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Just as the powerhouses of the myriad races prepared to return to their respective dojos for secluded cultivation, Hongyun waved his hand gently, casting several beams of red light that enveloped the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Houtu, Old Ancestor Minghe, and Nuwa.

"You lot, follow behind me. Do not move about recklessly, or if you fall into that vortex, you have only yourselves to blame!"

As soon as his voice fell, Hongyun's figure headed toward the massive vortex.

Nuwa, Houtu, Minghe, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden hurriedly followed, fearing they would fall behind and be swept into the vortex.
