Hongjun spoke, his voice incomparably cold:
"Good."
"What a Xuandu. You truly calculated everything flawlessly."
"I lost this round, but do you think that means you can kill me?"
As his voice fell, he raised a hand. The Jade Disk of Fortune hovered above his head, and the Three Thousand Dao Patterns shone brilliantly at once.
Within the Heavenly Dao Eye, grey-white light surged forth once more.
Hongjun's aura swelled again.

He sensed the grey-white light pouring from the Heavenly Dao Eye and into Hongjun's body.

If Hongjun broke through, then even if Houtu and Xuandu were both at the Nine Heavens Peak and joined forces, they would be no match for him.

At that time, the entire Great Wilderness would be erased and recreated by the Great Dao.
