The Ancestral Dragon pointed at the heavens and cursed furiously.
Hongjun calculated and calculated. In his eyes, it was originally just Hongjun's personal action, a game between Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
But now, he realized he was wrong.
Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were in cahoots!
Even if his Dragon Race didn't contend with the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race, the Heavenly Dao would not tolerate his Dragon Race.
How could the Heavenly Dao allow races without the Heavenly Dao's brand to exist in this world?
How could the Heavenly Dao allow the Chaos Demon Gods to enjoy the fruits of the world Pangu had created?
What "for the sake of all living beings"? What "for all things in the Primordial World"? What "Heavenly Dao is heartless"? All of it was fake!
The Heavenly Dao merely wanted to enslave all living beings, and the Heavenly Dao merely wanted to erase unstable existences like them!
"The Heavenly Dao is heartless, and my Dragon Race will fight the Heavenly Dao today! If the Heavenly Dao wishes to enslave all living beings, then my Dragon Race will shatter the heavens today!"
The Ancestral Dragon's furious roar echoed throughout the entire Primordial World.
"Alas, Ancestral Dragon, it seems you still don't understand."
Hongjun shook his head and said:
"The Heavenly Dao is born from the will of all living beings, the combination of the collective will. Why don't you understand? Act in accordance with the heavens, and you will find freedom. Defy the heavens, and you are destined for destruction."
"Hmph! Utterly laughable!"
The Ancestral Dragon said angrily:
"If it weren't for the heavens' schemes, how would my Dragon Race have the ambition to dominate? If it weren't for the heavens' schemes, why would my Dragon Race face destruction?"
"Ancestral Dragon, you are wrong again."
Hongjun spoke once more:
"The Dragon Race has the ambition to dominate because you originally had the ambition to dominate. Perhaps it is you, the Ancestral Dragon, who has the ambition to dominate. Furthermore, the Dragon Race's demise is because all beings in the Primordial World wished for the Dragon Race's demise."
Silence, a deathly stillness.
As Hongjun's words fell, countless beings in the Primordial World felt a jolt in their hearts, frozen in place.
The demise of the Dragon Race?
Such a monumental good thing, let alone speaking of it, they dared not even imagine it!
The Dragon Race's actions were incredibly overbearing. If they wanted a nine-tailed fox, they would simply capture two. If they wanted to eat a golden eagle, they would simply capture two. If the Dragon Race fancied a woman from any race, they would simply abduct her by force, believing that it was a blessing cultivated over ten thousand years for the women of your tribe to be with the Dragon Race.
The Dragon Race monopolized the resources of the Four Seas, leaving no room for other sea creatures to survive.
Even the later renowned Demon Master Kunpeng, because he manifested in the Northern Sea and triggered a lightning tribulation (a tribulation that only appeared after Luohu's Dao merging), was hunted by the Dragon Race for a million years. To this day, Kunpeng is still fleeing everywhere, not daring to return to the Northern Sea.
The Dragon Race was born overbearing, and they could not contend with the Dragon Race.
But did they truly never think of the Dragon Race's demise?
They did, they absolutely did. They dreamt of it.
Setting aside the ordinary races of the Primordial World, even the Phoenix Race often had their female members forcibly abducted by the Dragon Race.
"Heh! The strong prey on the weak, this is the norm in the Primordial World. Other races covet my Dragon Race's power and are jealous, thus wishing for my Dragon Race's demise. My Dragon Race is so powerful, it should rightfully command the submission of all races in the Primordial World. Now, the Heavenly Dao wishes to oppress the Dragon Race under the guise of all living beings, then I, the Ancestral Dragon, will shatter this firmament!"
The Ancestral Dragon knew that in terms of rhetoric, he was no match for Hongjun.
No matter what, he and Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao stood on the side of righteousness for all living beings, while he was in opposition.
Since that was the case, why not fight through the heavens, shatter the Heavenly Dao, and trample the so-called will of all living beings underfoot?
The Dragon Race was so powerful, would it still be swayed by the will of the masses?
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon had descended into madness.
Originally, as a Transmigrator, he wouldn't be so brainless. After all, he had planned for a million years since his transmigration.
However, Luohu's transformation into the Supreme Heavenly Demon, after a cultivator achieved their cultivation, would immediately amplify any obsession they had, making them lose their reason.
Although Luohu was only a Quasi-Saint, after transforming into the Supreme Heavenly Demon, he became the Demonic Dao, just like Hongjun who had merged with the Dao.
Even Sages, if they developed obsessions and delusions, could be swayed by inner demons.
For example, the Investiture of the Gods war.
And there was the most crucial point: the system's energy was almost depleted. With only twenty percent left, and needing to reserve ten percent for escape, it was insufficient to counter the Ancestral Dragon's inner demons.
It was quite amusing, really. The Ancestral Dragon actually used Spiritual Treasures formed from energy stronger than a Dao-merging Sage to create such a shoddy array?
He even considered himself brilliant, believing it surpassed the Zhou Tian Star Dou and the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Array.
"Since you wish to try, then come."
Hongjun sat cross-legged, high above the nine layers of clouds, looking down at the Ancestral Dragon below, a slight curl at the corner of his lips.
"Million Golden Dragons Attack Heaven Great Array, help me shatter the heavens!"
The Ancestral Dragon's fighting spirit surged. His massive dragon body coiled and uncoiled, charging towards Hongjun in the sky.
"Help the Dragon Emperor shatter the heavens!!!!"
The trillions of Dragon Race powerhouses were all filled with burning passion, their eyes bloodshot, as if they wanted to tear the very heavens asunder.
The Million Golden Dragons Attack Heaven Great Array was equivalent to a million Quasi-Saints.
With a million Quasi-Saints bolstering the Ancestral Dragon, how terrifying was this great array?
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon was empowered with boundless strength; even an ordinary Sage would be torn to shreds by him.
He could at least go toe-to-toe with a Sage.
However, Hongjun had no interest in going toe-to-toe with him.
In the endless Void, Hongjun sat outside the primordial earth's membrane, his body, as vast as the Primordial World itself, slowly raising his palm.
The Ancestral Dragon charged madly towards the sky, while Hongjun in the sky slowly extended his palm towards the Ancestral Dragon's location.
With his dragon body stretching for trillions of miles, the Ancestral Dragon felt Hongjun's power grow the further he flew towards the heavens.
It wasn't until he was about to approach Hongjun that he suddenly realized Hongjun's power! It was greater than he had imagined!
It was countless times greater than he had imagined!
At this moment, if the Ancestral Dragon turned and charged downwards, his strength could even shake the Primordial World.
But before him, Hongjun's single hand was already larger than his dragon body.
Even more terrifying was that in front of Hongjun's palm, he had no advantage whatsoever!
The palm sliced through the sky and descended, fanning towards the Ancestral Dragon.
Bang!
The Ancestral Dragon collided with the palm like an earthworm.
Though the earthworm was tenacious, that palm was even stronger.
"Hiss!"
At this moment, Yuanfeng and the First Qilin watched the one-sided crushing from the sky.
They finally understood how terrifying a Sage truly was.
No wonder they had desperately tried to Become a Saint.
"All beneath a Sage are but ants!"
This saying was not false.
Even with the Dragon Race's current might, capable of defeating the combined forces of their two races, they were still far too weak compared to a Sage.
"No! No!!!!"
At this moment, seeing himself about to collide with Hongjun's palm, the Ancestral Dragon faltered.
As a Transmigrator, he should have been more cowardly than all beings in the Primordial World, just like Shi Chen, so why had he been overcome with passion just now? Why had he clashed head-on with the Heavenly Dao?
