Ancestor Dragon, Alliance
The entire Primordial World underwent another change, with the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms all moving in unison. The Star Dou emitted boundless starlight, Myriad Worlds released its radiance.
Above the heavens, a shower of celestial flowers fell, instantly transforming the once clear sky into a golden sea of clouds, as if something was being nurtured within it.
At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on the Nine Nether Demonic Realm, and everyone wanted to know what had happened.
Purple Qi Comes from the East thirty thousand miles eastward, traversing the heavens and earth. Along with it, the Four Extreme Sacred Beasts manifest in the Primordial Wilderness. The Azure Dragon coils in the east, releasing boundless light, highlighting the figure of Di Shitian.
Then, True Dragon soared up from the Four Seas, ten thousand dragons converged, and their roars resounded throughout the heavens.
The True Phoenix of the south soared into the sky, its cry echoing through the heavens.
The Qilin emerged from Mount Buzhou and rose from the east, traversing the heavens and earth, bringing endless Auspicious Qi.
A black, Three-legged Golden Crow stood tall in the heavens.
Di Shitian has successfully Attain Hunyuan Dao!
"Interesting!"
"This is so interesting!"
Looking at the Three-legged Golden Crow image in the Sky Vault, Donghua couldn't help but murmur twice.
He sensed a familiar presence.
"His Majesty?"
"Is that His Majesty Di Jun?"
"Di Jun? How is that possible?"
"..."
Not only Donghua sensed it, but countless demons and other Great Powers also felt Di Jun's aura, and some ancient Demon God stared fervently at the Golden Crow Dharma Image.
They are waiting for the answer they've been waiting for!
Donghua glanced calmly at Di Shitian in the Sky Vault, then stepped directly into the Sea Eye.
He wasn't very interested in either Di Jun or Di Jun, given the vast difference in their strength; even if Di Jun were resurrected, he wouldn't be worthy of being his opponent.
If they obey, all is well; if they don't, then they'll be reincarnated again.
Within the Sea Eye, Luohu had already suppressed everyone who entered and injected a black lotus into Shennong's body.
"Become a demon, young friend Hong Yun!"
After the black lotus entered the body, it began to forcibly convert the red cloud's path, and the intense Devil Dao power instantly annihilated the Hong Yun's path.
"Haha, young friend Hong Yun, you will become another Hun Yuan in our Devil Dao after Di Shitian."
The Devil Dao power began to merge into Hong Yun's body, subsequently drawing upon all his merits, causing his cultivation at the peak of the Grand Unity realm to surge rapidly.
The River of Time emerges, revealing the past, present, and future all at once...
Just as Shennong was about to merge his three bodies, the supreme treasure Kongtong Seal, suddenly released boundless golden light, enveloping Shennong within it.
Luohu's expression changed, and he roared angrily, "Donghua!"
He sensed a familiar aura from the Kongtong Seal; it was the power of Donghua. He hadn't expected Donghua to have foreseen his attack on Shennong.
"Demon Ancestor, it's been a long time!"
"Or rather, since this is our first meeting, I hope the Demon Ancestor will offer you guidance."
Donghua appeared before Luohu. It wasn't the first time the two had fought, but this was truly the first time they had met face to face like this.
Because this time Luohu has descended in his true form!
Luohu then realized that this was the first time the two had met. Although Donghua was famous during the ancient times, he was not in Luo Hou's eyes. He was just a junior with some talent.
Yet this junior has repeatedly thwarted his plans, especially after Donghua's return from the Great Dao last time.
Moreover, last time, Donghua actually dared to provoke him in the River of Time and Space and Space and the God-Slaying Spear.
"Did you come alone? Where is Hongjun? Isn't he coming out?"
Donghua laughed and said, "Demon Ancestor, times have changed. You are no longer the Demon Ancestor you once were. Are you not worthy of Dao Ancestor's intervention?"
Luohu snorted coldly and said, "How dare you, junior!"
"Whether they're presumptuous or not, we'll only know after we fight!" Donghua's calm tone annoyed Luohu.
He recalled his conversation with Hongjun above the Blood Sea, but he never imagined that this day would actually come.
Donghua truly deserves to be his rival, which is the reason for his anger.
The tension between the two was palpable!
Meanwhile, Shennong, enveloped by the golden light of the Kongtong Seal, successfully merged with the Devil Dao, and the Human Emperor's Dharma Image appeared. In an instant, his three bodies became one, and he stepped into the Daluo Golden Immortal.
The memories of his Previous Life Hong Yun resurfaced, followed by his profound understanding of the Great Dao from two lifetimes, causing his cultivation to grow rapidly.
Early, middle, late, and peak stages of the Grand Unity!
Quasi-Saint stage: early, middle, late, and peak.
His cultivation progressed without any pause, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the Peak Quasi-Saint. The only remaining question was whether he could break through to the Primordial Hun Yuan.
But that all depends on Hong Yun's fate!
At this moment, Donghua and Luohu's auras had reached their peak, their powerful presence seemingly locking down all time and space and the Great Dao, causing the entire world to fall into a state of stillness.
Donghua: Peak Hun Yuan the Five Heavens Realm!
Luohu: First entry into the sixth Hun Yuan Primordial Chaos Realm!
"The Battle of Chaos!"
"Come!"
The two figures vanished instantly, reappearing in the chaos.
The two stood empty-handed, their powerful aura causing the chaos to form two vacuum circles.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the two attacked simultaneously, each throwing a punch as if they were two ordinary people fighting.
But with a single punch, chaos was torn apart, all laws evolved, and the fist itself became the Dao.
The two could wield the Three Thousand Great Daos with ease; a single punch unleashed a complete Great Dao.
The booming sounds of their clashes echoed through the chaos, and in the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a thousand punches.
At this moment, many Hun Yuan and Saint from the Primordial Wilderness also appeared in the Chaos to watch this unprecedented battle.
Hong Yun, who was inside the Sea Eye, had already stabilized his cultivation. He was not in a hurry to break through to the Hunyuan Hun Yuan, as he was still far from it.
The true form of the Ancestor Dragon suddenly began to tumble. Hong Yun frowned, and seeing the state of the Ancestor Dragon, he instantly understood.
With Luohu fully engaged in the battle, he was no longer able to control the true form of the Ancestor Dragon, and the Ancestor Dragon's own consciousness was returning.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of light seemed to flash across the Sea Eye from the heavens above, its powerful force causing the group to hastily retreat.
"The Heavenly Dao Power?"
Hong Yun nodded thoughtfully, thinking that it made sense. Although he didn't know what methods Luohu had used to deceive the Heavenly Dao and thus control the Ancestor Dragon's true form.
But now that the power bestowed upon the Ancestor Dragon has disappeared, the Heavenly Dao has finally realized what was happening and has begun to repair the previous loopholes.
With the removal of the Devil Dao power, the Ancestor Dragon fully regained his senses.
"Luohu, you are truly my mortal enemy!"
After recovering, the Ancestor Dragon showed neither anger nor sorrow, but simply sighed calmly, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
The glorious past flashed through Ancestor Dragon's mind. Since his birth, his life had been like that of a protagonist in a story.
Create the Dragon Clan and become the ruler of the Four Seas.
Kunwu Dynasty and became the leader of the Five Insects.
Fighting Fierce Beasts, surviving great calamities, dividing the Primordial Wilderness into three.
At his peak, he controlled half of the Primordial Wilderness's destiny, and all races submitted to him.
Later, the Three Clans War, the heavens and earth collapsed, and all races were disgusted by it.
Finally, he used his body to suppress the Sea Eye, and his primordial spirit transformed into the Dao.
Every failure he suffered was related to Luohu. This time, Rahu stripped him of all the fortune and merit he had accumulated from suppressing the Sea Eye for countless eons, merging it into Di Shitian's body and completely severing his path to enlightenment.
How could I not hate?
But more than anything, I felt a sense of powerlessness.
If he were to return from the Great Dao now, he would declare war on the Devil Dao without hesitation. But he is not qualified now; he doesn't even have the most basic freedom.
But it must be said that Luohu was really ruthless, causing the Ancestor Dragon such a terrible fate twice.
"Perhaps this is my fate!"
Ancestor Dragon sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to the crowd.
"The Human Emperor Shennong?"
Hong Yun stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Ancestor Dragon."
The Ancestor Dragon's enormous head turned slightly, then gently shook its head and said, "I can see that you want to attain the Attain Hunyuan Dao in one fell swoop, but your accumulation is insufficient to break through to the Hunyuan Realm."
Hong Yun remained silent, making no attempt at the final step. No one could say for sure whether she would succeed, and she would not give up because of a single sentence from Ancestor Dragon.
"I can help you!"
"Hmm?" Hong Yun asked in confusion, not understanding what Ancestor Dragon meant. How could others interfere with the path to enlightenment?
"In the ancient times, the first divine dynasty, Primordial Wilderness Kunwu Divine Dynasty, was established, dividing all races under heaven into five categories: snails, scaled creatures, fur-bearers, feathered creatures, and insects. My Dragon Clan is the leader of the five insects and is also a symbol of the dynasty's destiny."
"Therefore, since the beginning of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty, the destiny of the Primordial Wilderness has taken shape, which is the form of True Dragon."
At this point, Ancestor Dragon paused, looked at Hong Yun, and asked, "What do you think of the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan forming an alliance of life and death?"
Hong Yun did not answer the question, but instead asked, "What benefits would it bring to our human race to form an alliance with the Dragon Clan?"
He was no longer the vanished Hongyun Daojun, but the Human Emperor Shennong, whose thoughts and considerations naturally prioritized the interests of the human race.
"The Four Seas are the territory of the Dragon Clan. As long as the Sea Eye exists, the Dragon Clan will never perish, so the human race will never be able to set foot in the Four Seas."
"I wish to use the Dragon Clan as the totem of the human race, to provide the human race with the fortune of the Four Seas, and from then on, the human race will also be one of the masters of the Four Seas. What do you say?"
Hong Yun fell silent. The conditions offered by the Ancestor Dragon were too tempting. The Dragon Clan was the totem of the human race, so it naturally represented submission to the human race and a life-and-death contract. Most importantly, it represented the fortune of the Four Seas.
However, the conditions mentioned by the Ancestor Dragon were not enough, because there was also the Heavenly Court. It was precisely because of the existence of the Heavenly Court that the benefits mentioned by the Ancestor Dragon were greatly diminished.
It should be understood that the Heavenly Court is the true master of the Four Seas and the Dragon Clan. The majority of the benefits mentioned by the Ancestor Dragon belong to the Heavenly Court, so it is not enough to tempt Hong Yun.
"Not enough."
Dragon whiskers fluttered, and the Ancestor Dragon nodded gently, saying, "Therefore, I will help you Attain Hunyuan Dao!"
Hong Yun stared wide-eyed at Ancestor Dragon in disbelief. He hadn't believed it before, but now that it was said, it was true.
"Fellow Daoist Ancestor Dragon, why is this?"
Ancestor Dragon sighed, "Back then, the three of us transformed into Dao to suppress the Earth Fire Water Wind. Although Yuanfeng was restricted, her consciousness remained, and she could even fight using her avatar. First Qilin was severely injured, so she never appeared in the Primordial Wilderness. Only the original body was unable to appear in the Primordial Wilderness."
"Because this is my plan, a plan concerning the attainment of enlightenment."
"When the world shatters, the elites of the Three Clans are wiped out, and boundless killing intent flows Western Region, I will know that my era has come to an end."
"But I know I will eventually return, so I completely transformed myself, leaving only my true form to suppress the Sea Eye, gathering merit and fortune, while I wait, waiting for a great change in the world."
"I don't know if this great change will come, or if it will occur during Immeasurable Calamity, but I'm taking the gamble."
"I won the bet, and I lost the bet!"
"The great changes in heaven and earth have indeed occurred, and my consciousness is gradually awakening from the Great Dao, but at this moment, Luohu appeared."
"Countless years of planning have come to naught!"
Ancestor Dragon's eyes reddened. Although regret was useless now, he was still unwilling to give up. This was the Attain Hunyuan Dao, the pursuit of his entire life.
"I don't know how Luohu managed to deceive the Heavenly Dao and tamper with my true form, but I imagine it must have happened after Luohu first returned from the Great Dao in the primordial era."
"It's impossible to deceive the Heavenly Dao with cultivation alone. No matter how high Luohu's cultivation is, it's impossible. So the only way is through a supreme treasure."
"The only supreme treasure that can conceal the Heavenly Dao and has not yet appeared in the Primordial Wilderness is the World-Destroying Millstone, World-Destroying Power is precisely the nemesis of the Heavenly Dao Power."
Hong Yun exclaimed in astonishment, "The World-Destroying Millstone? How is that possible? This supreme treasure has never appeared since the beginning of time, not even Shen Ni back then obtained it."
"According to what the Dao Ancestor said, the World-Destroying Millstone in Shen Ni's hands is merely an evolution of the World-Destroying Power, not the treasure itself. Moreover, what makes Luohu capable of obtaining this treasure?"
Ancestor Dragon shook his head. This was just his guess. After all, the World-Destroying Millstone was too special. In terms of power, it was no weaker than the treasure of creation, and in terms of function, it was no less than the Jade Plate of Creation.
It's simply an all-around treasure!
The group stopped discussing the matter; there was no point in continuing. Luohu was not someone they could deal with. Even without the World-Destroying Millstone, Luohu could kill them with a flick of his wrist.
"So, how will Fellow Daoist Ancestor Dragon help me attain enlightenment?"
The Ancestor Dragon's true form trembled, transforming into a Daoist body that appeared before everyone.
"Although Luohu has taken away all my accumulated wealth over the years, he is not me after all. I still have fortune and merit, which, although not enough for me to attain enlightenment, can help you take another step forward."
"My path to enlightenment is now severed, leaving me only with reincarnation. But my only concern is for the Dragon Clan, so I will give you all the power I have in my life."
Ancestor Dragon didn't continue speaking; they were all intelligent people, and there was no need to explain too clearly.
Hong Yun's eyes flickered for a moment, then she said directly, "Okay, I agree!"
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!"
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
The two immediately agreed to form an alliance.
