"Regardless of which of those two wins, it's laughable that I ever dreamed of unifying the Primordial World. In the face of such power, does authority really mean anything?"
The power the Dragon Race had revealed had already made the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race give up any thought of fighting them.
Even the combined strength of both races couldn't stand against a Dragon Race this powerful.
"Thank goodness the Dragon Race swore of its own accord not to fight our two races again. Otherwise, our Qilin Race and the Phoenix Race would probably have been wiped out by now."
"Exactly, exactly. The Dragon Race is just too powerful."
At this moment, everyone watching had witnessed the Dragon Race's might. Had the Dragon Race not sworn that it would no longer fight the two races, it would probably have already become the protagonist of the Primordial World.
Fortunately, neither race had provoked the Dragon Race before this.
"Tsk, tsk..."
Watching the Dragon Race's arrogant display, Hongjun couldn't help clicking his tongue in secret.
That's it? That's it? This is what they call a formation?
In the future, Di Jun and Tai Yi would use the Zhou Tian Star-Dou Formation with only three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals, along with the four Quasi-Saints Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, and Kun Peng leading the formation. That alone would let them contend with Saints.
Yet the Dragon Race had far more powerful fighters than the Demon Race. And the formation they'd assembled was only this strong.
They had a million Great Luo Golden Immortals and more than a dozen Quasi-Saints.
And they could only just match a formation with three hundred and sixty-five Great Luo Golden Immortals and four Quasi-Saints.
If so many powerful fighters had been under the command of Di Jun and Tai Yi in the future... Hongjun fully believed they could lead their forces in slaying a Saint. At the very least, they wouldn't have any trouble beating that Zhunti fellow.
"Hongjun, today, my Dragon Race will slay a Saint and prove the Dao!"
At that moment, empowered by every member of the Dragon Race, Ancestral Dragon transformed into his enormous true form. A Dragon Pearl rested in his mouth, and dragon qi surged around him. His strength soared tens of thousands of times over.
Even a Saint would not dare face Ancestral Dragon's overwhelming might head-on.
It was true that the great momentum of the Primordial World could not be changed by Saints; they could only act in accordance with it.
But even if Ancestral Dragon truly became tens of thousands of times stronger, could he really defeat a Saint?
Dream on!
The great momentum of the Primordial World didn't mean the world's great powers. It meant its trends, the direction the world was headed, and the calamities it would undergo. The trend of the Dragon-Han Tribulation was for the three races to ultimately withdraw from the struggle for supremacy in the Primordial World.
That was because the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World would never let any of the three races become its protagonist.
A long-lived race was not suited to becoming the protagonist of an eternal world.
So, if a Saint did the right thing, he could gain the blessing of the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, and his strength would rise without limit as well, until he could drive those who defied Heaven to despair.
Slay a Saint? Tsk, tsk. Not happening—unless one was a being who surpassed the Heavenly Dao.
And what was the Heavenly Dao? The union of the will of all living beings.
Thinking one could face all the countless living beings alone? They had to be dreaming.
Put simply, the great momentum of the Heavenly Dao was also what all living beings hoped for.
The Primordial World's creatures all wanted the three races dead!
The three races acted tyrannically, and the Dragon Race was the worst.
The three races were also part of the living beings. The Qilin Race wanted the Dragon Race and Phoenix Race destroyed; the Phoenix Race wanted the Dragon Race and Qilin Race destroyed; and the Dragon Race wanted the Phoenix Race and Qilin Race destroyed.
On top of that, the countless living beings dared not speak out against the three races, but all of them hoped the three races would hurry up and die.
And now, Ancestral Dragon wanted to slay a Saint?
A mere Quasi-Saint of the Dragon Race...
Hongjun didn't even need the Great Dao Power. He relied only on a Saint's innate power, with a little blessing from the Heavenly Dao.
His figure slowly rose into the boundless sky. He looked down at Ancestral Dragon below and smiled.
"Then come and slay me."
His figure seemed to rise into the boundless sky, but as it ascended, it also grew without end. In an instant, Ancestral Dragon's dragon body, tens of millions of zhang long, became a tiny earthworm.
"Uh..."
Seeing Hongjun suddenly grow infinitely vast, Ancestral Dragon was completely stunned.
At that moment, Hongjun looked as large as the entire Primordial World.
He did nothing at all. He simply looked at Ancestral Dragon in silence, and his boundless pressure alone made every living being in the Primordial World bow before him.
Gulp.
The members of the Dragon Race couldn't help swallowing.
Fear spread throughout the entire Dragon Race.
Had the Dragon Race really provoked such a terrifying being?
Was this what a Saint was?
Beneath a Saint, all were ants...
At that moment, everyone felt it.
Slaying a Saint? That was utterly absurd.
At that moment, every living being in the Primordial World looked up at the sky. They could all see a figure seemingly even larger than Pangu, smiling as he looked down in silence.
His vast body obscured the entire void. The sky, the auspicious clouds, and the Sun Star and Moon Star vanished from sight.
Looking up from the land of the Primordial World, the giant's figure seemed somewhat illusory because it was simply too enormous.
But if they drew closer, they would find that the giant's body was more solid than the land of the Primordial World itself.
Ancestral Dragon looked up at the enormous figure in the sky, and a memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.
It was a scene of his predecessor, a Chaos Demon God, fighting Pangu.
That Chaos Demon God had ranked among the top five hundred of the Three Thousand Demon Gods, yet Pangu had killed him with a single axe blow.
Only after Pangu's strike had brought him down, when he had already fallen into demonic delusion, did the Chaos Demon God suddenly come to his senses and feel boundless terror.
Now, the fear buried in Ancestral Dragon's consciousness seemed to awaken once more.
"The Dragon Race has disregarded the living beings of the Primordial World. Though it has yet to cause irreparable harm to the Primordial World, today it has acted against Heaven, and is destined to cause irreparable harm in the future. I, Hongjun, will now enforce Heaven's will and destroy the Dragon Race. I ask Heaven: may I?"
Hongjun spoke.
"Granted."
From high above, a cold, emotionless voice could be heard.
A boundless aura pressed down, and its endless might bore down so heavily that the living beings of the Primordial World could barely breathe.
This was the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao had always existed. After all, Hongjun had stabilized Heaven and Earth for more than a hundred yuanhui, and the Heavenly Dao had long since awakened.
"No way! Could my Dragon Race really be in the wrong?"
At that moment, as fear spread, many powerful members of the Dragon Race began to waver.
Could the Dragon Race really not dominate the Primordial World?
Was the Dragon Race destined to be rejected by the Heavenly Dao?
"Hmph! Heavenly Dao! Utter nonsense!"
Ancestral Dragon forcibly suppressed his fear and roared furiously at the sky.
Empowered by the Million Golden Dragons Attack Heaven Great Array, his cultivation had reached the level of a Saint, so his voice could also carry across the entire Primordial World.
"What do you mean, the Heavenly Dao is emotionless? That's a load of crap! You, Heavenly Dao, merely want to enslave all living beings. What gives you the right to stand above us?"
He pointed at the sky and roared in fury.
