Everyone would assume that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was probably no match for Changkong Daoist.
After all, Changkong Daoist's depths were simply unfathomable.
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Changkong Daoist first met.
Changkong Daoist's incredibly arrogant manner had remained fresh in everyone's memory to this day.
It had been during the final stage of the Human-Demon War.
