This is not the end of it. The essences of the Moon Star and Sun Star have also been absorbed by them day and night, and they are now overwhelmed.
If this continues for another kalpa... I'm afraid the Taiyin and Sun will collapse.
Ordinary cultivators' eyes cannot see the subtle changes accumulated over time, but through Hongjun's guidance, everyone present could feel it.
Between heaven and earth, cracks had already begun to form due to excessive strain.
These cracks are not visible now, but when they erupt, the entire Primordial World will likely be shattered.
"Do you see? If the three races continue to develop like this, one day they will threaten the Primordial World. As a being of this Primordial World, and the first Sage of this world, do I have the right to discipline you three races for the safety of the Primordial World?"
Hongjun said to the Ancestral Dragon.
At the same time, his gaze swept over Yuanfeng and the First Qilin.
Although the Primordial World was opened by Pangu, it was also formed from the bodies of the Three Thousand Demon Gods.
Perhaps the proportion of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods in the Primordial World is already very small, but this world truly belongs to them.
Therefore, whether it was Yuanfeng, the First Qilin, or the Candle Dragon, they all felt ashamed upon hearing this.
In order for their respective races to dominate the Primordial World, they had indeed caused great destruction to the Primordial World.
If not for Hongjun's reminder, they would not have noticed.
So they became even more firm in their inner resolve.
To give back to the world.
But the Ancestral Dragon was different from them.
Firstly, the Ancestral Dragon was not originally from this world and had no sense of belonging to it. Secondly, even in his original world, he was not an environmentally conscious person.
What did the destruction of the environment have to do with him? He didn't care if others were concerned about the environment, but if they wanted to use environmental protection as an excuse to seize his benefits, he wouldn't stand for it!
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon dared not speak these words, otherwise, the Dragon Race would face not only Hongjun, but the two clan leaders beside him would also revolt.
So he could only target Hongjun:
"Heh, well said. This is all just an excuse for you, Hongjun, to scheme against my three races. You want to interfere in the affairs of my three races, do you have the ability?"
"Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon believes I am scheming against the three races. Then, if I am not scheming against the three races, what do you intend to do?"
Hongjun glanced at him and said casually.
"My Dragon Race only wishes to guard the Four Seas. Whoever seeks trouble with my Dragon Race for any reason will be punished, no matter how far away!"
The Ancestral Dragon said proudly:
"So what if you are a Sage! If you dare to encroach upon and disturb my Dragon Race again, I will send you back where you came from!"
"That's right! Lord Ancestral Dragon is correct! My Dragon Race only wishes to guard the Four Seas. If anyone dares to offend the Dragon Race, my Dragon Race will never forgive them!"
"So what if you are a Sage? Why should my Dragon Race fear you?"
As the Ancestral Dragon's words fell, a group of Dragon Race experts, except for the Candle Dragon, shouted in unison.
"Come if you dare!"
"The Dragon Race fears no one!"
"The Dragon Race fears no one!"
"..."
The Dragon Race's momentum shook heaven and earth, shaking the Primordial World for hundreds of millions of miles. For a time, their arrogance soared, even showing signs of being able to contend with a Sage.
"So, your Dragon Race does not intend to obey the arrangements?"
Hongjun's smile gradually faded, making him look like a villain.
"I'll arrange your mother! Talking to you is giving you face. If you don't know what's good for you, my Dragon Race will destroy you, the first Sage in this world!"
The Dragon Race's soaring arrogance made the Ancestral Dragon feel unprecedentedly inflated.
Moreover, after talking with him for so long, he felt that Hongjun, this first Heavenly Dao Sage in the world, the future Dao Ancestor, and the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, was nothing special.
Perhaps even Sages were afraid of accumulating karma, and he might have been afraid of the Dragon Race.
Otherwise, why would Hongjun be so accommodating?
It was just a pity that he didn't expose Hongjun's true face in front of all living beings.
It was truly a shame.
The masses of the Primordial World still thought Hongjun was a good person, heh, but unfortunately, this was the Primordial World, where reputation was useless. Everything still depended on strength.
Therefore, even facing a Sage, he, the Dragon Race leader, dared to curse.
If Hongjun, after merging with the Dao, represented the Heavenly Dao, naturally no one would dare to be so disrespectful, but now, he was just an ordinary Heavenly Dao Sage.
Sages were not invincible in this world!
Moreover, even if they were Sages, so what? They could only act in accordance with the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. What was there for him, the Ancestral Dragon, to fear?
Did Hongjun dare to make a move?
Come and fight him!
Come on!
The Ancestral Dragon manifested his true form, an immense five-clawed golden dragon coiling for hundreds of millions of miles around Jade Capital Mountain, confronting Hongjun.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth, thick heat emanating from his nostrils.
This was dragon's breath. The hot air appeared and instantly ignited the forests of Jade Capital Mountain.
Snap!
Just as the Ancestral Dragon believed his Dragon Race was invincible.
Hongjun slapped him on the head.
The Ancestral Dragon was sent crashing to the ground by Hongjun's slap, unable to extricate himself.
After the slap, Hongjun's colossal Dharma image retracted his hand.
The Ancestral Dragon also transformed back into his human form.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that half of the Ancestral Dragon's head was swollen.
"!!!!!"
The Ancestral Dragon, he'd been hit!
"The Ancestral Dragon was actually hit?"
"And he was hit in the face?"
"And his face swelled up from the hit?"
"I didn't even see what happened clearly!"
One slap had knocked the Ancestral Dragon's true form's head askew!
Yuanfeng and the others were utterly shocked.
Is this the power of a Sage?
In truth, most Immortals relied on magical treasures and Spiritual Power, with very few deliberately cultivating their physical bodies.
Hongjun's lightning-fast face-slap fully demonstrated to everyone what a Sage truly was.
The Ancestral Dragon, at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, had his head knocked askew by a single slap.
The important point was, this was the Ancestral Dragon!
As the strongest among the three Primordial Ancestors, his physique was even more powerful than that of the later Witch Race.
And now... he'd been slapped, not only had his face swelled up, but he hadn't even reacted.
It seemed the Ancestral Dragon was dazed by this single slap.
"Hongjun! You're courting death!"
Hongjun had actually slapped their ancestor in front of the Ancestral Dragon's army of billions, it was practically spitting on them.
Even the Candle Dragon's eyes were currently blazing with fire, almost unable to resist charging at Hongjun.
"Big Brother!"
Of course, he still had to obey his elder brother.
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon clutched his face, feeling a burning pain.
The Sage's slap hadn't killed the Ancestral Dragon entirely because Hongjun didn't want to let him off that easily.
As for why the Ancestral Dragon's protective magical treasures and powerful physique hadn't worked?
Heh, even though he was currently using the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao, could he slap a Quasi-Saint and still give him time to react?
