Hongjun's Suspicions, the Turmoil Continues
Hongjun's face showed anger, his eyes gradually turned cold, and there was still a hint of doubt.
What is this thing?
"Why does it possess the aura of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao?"
"Acting on behalf of Heaven to punish? What kind of nonsense is this?"
Hongjun became increasingly uneasy and furious. Right under his nose, someone was carrying out divine punishment and pulling this stunt, completely disregarding him!
Even Yuanshi Tianzun regarded that thing as the Heavenly Dao and treated it as a disciple's ritual. Isn't that absurd?
"Court death!"
Thinking of this, Hongjun let out a cold shout, raised his finger, and the Heavenly Dao roared throughout the Primordial World, with boundless power pressing down on the Eye of Divine Punishment.
The entire sky was blurred, filled with an aura of Destruction, yet the scene within was obscured by an inexplicable force, beyond the comprehension of countless beings.
Just as ants cannot comprehend the fighting style of a true dragon, which is completely beyond their imagination.
Only beings at the Daluo Golden Immortal or above can vaguely sense something.
The Three Pure Ones were in a sorry state, their hair disheveled from the divine punishment. Yuanshi, who was the focus of the attack, was even more severely injured, his skin torn open and his arm blown off. This level of divine punishment possessed inexplicable power, enough to harm even Sage.
"If this eye isn't the Heavenly Dao, then who is it?" Yuanshi was Yuanshi shocked and angry, and even felt a sense of humiliation; he had been tricked.
This was not only a physical injury, but also a psychological one; in full view of everyone, he actually performed the disciple's salute to that eye.
It seems that Heavenly Dao has gotten into a fight with that eye, and it's obvious that the eye is no good; it's definitely not a teacher.
"Boom..."
Across the vast sky, thunderous roars echoed, as if the heavens and earth were being created, blurring everything, spreading Chaos energy, and displaying astonishing phenomena.
After a few breaths, all was silent, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
In the Purple Heaven Palace, Hongjun withdrew his gaze. The strange phenomenon of great Destruction flashed by in an instant. He snorted coldly, his expression somewhat suspicious.
"Who is it...?"
He couldn't figure out the origin of this strange eye; it seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"Could it be Ling Xiao?"
Hongjun's eyes flashed as he considered this possibility, but he quickly shook his head, dismissing the idea.
He had a brief encounter with Ling Xiao last time, and in his judgment, Ling Xiao couldn't possibly be that strong, nor could he do this.
"If it's not Ling Xiao, then who is it?"
A thoughtful look flashed across Hongjun's deep eyes, his expression shifted, and he considered a possibility.
"Could it be Yang Mei?"
This old rival is very likely to become restless again.
Yang Mei is capable of causing him trouble, posing a much greater threat than Ling Xiao.
As for Ling Xiao, no one dared to confront him head-on; they were simply not in the same league.
Thinking of this, another thought popped into Hongjun's head: Could Yang Mei and Ling Xiao have already colluded?
"If that's the case, then it's going to be a bit of a problem."
Hongjun spoke in a low voice, then his gaze returned to the Primordial Land, and his thoughts began to wander again.
"The Witch-Demon Catastrophe is about to accelerate..."
In some place of endless Chaos, Ling Xiao's figure slowly appeared, his left eye somewhat blood red. The sun, moon, stars, Creation, and destruction emanated from him, exuding an aura of collapsing order and great Destruction.
Since the Eye of Divine Punishment is based on the physical body, it is naturally affected by any injuries it suffers.
"Old people lack martial ethics; they always aim for the eyes when fighting."
Ling Xiao rubbed his eyes, and the bloodshot feeling eased considerably. This sensation was like being on the verge of sudden death after staying up all night playing games for three days straight in his previous life.
Fortunately, the Eye of Divine Punishment was more sturdy than he had imagined, probably comparable to the strength of Innate Supreme Treasure.
However, this thing consumes a lot of energy; in just a short while, it depleted half of his mana.
This is a high-damage skill, but it also consumes a lot of mana.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, and began to draw upon the power within the Chaos Bead to restore himself.
After a Great Wind, the Primordial World returned to peace, but the hearts of countless living beings and many powerful beings remained unsettled for a long time.
During this period, the Ancestral Witch in the Pangu Temple were experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, their hearts pounding back and forth.
When the Eye of Divine Punishment attacked the Three Pure Ones, they thought they were saved, but unexpectedly, it seemed that the Heavenly Dao intervened, and the Three Pure Ones did not die, but still had the ability to wreak havoc.
What a disappointment!
"That Big Eye just now... it felt kind of familiar..." On the Sun Star, Di Jun and Tai Yi stood side by side, gazing up at the endless void. After a long silence, Di Jun slowly spoke, his face showing suspicion.
Tai Yi nodded, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, then a smile played on his lips. "I know who it is..."
"Who?" Di Jun turned his head to look at him.
Tai Yi smiled mysteriously, then gave a wink, a blatant hint.
Di Jun was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized that with their tacit understanding over the years, he naturally knew what the other party wanted to express.
The owner of those Big Eye was none other than Ling Xiao.
Besides the Third Brother, who else would step in to help them when they are in danger?
Thinking of this, Di Jun didn't feel much joy. As the elder brother, it was really outrageous that he had to ask his own brother for help.
"Second brother, we must also work hard. We must always be vigilant and not rely on others to save us every time!"
Upon hearing this, Tai Yi nodded emphatically and said, "Of course, elder brother, let's have a competition to see who breaks through first!"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun immediately straightened his face and sternly rebuked, "Nonsense! How can one be so competitive in matters of cultivation?"
"This can easily trigger Heart Demon, which is detrimental to spiritual practice."
"At such a crucial moment as breaking through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, we must not act recklessly!"
Tai Yi gave him a disdainful look, then turned and took his leave.
"What a great opportunity! The Three Pure Ones have suffered a great blow. They should seize this chance to preach the Great Dao and recruit disciples."
On Western Mount Sumeru, Zhun Ti lit up with joy. Seeing the Three Pure Ones made a fool of themselves and beaten so badly, he immediately felt that their opportunity in the West had arrived.
Now that the Western Sect has just been established, it needs a large number of outstanding disciples to spread its great power through preaching and attract sentient beings to join.
"What exactly is that eye?" Compared to Zhun Ti's excitement, Jieyin was deep in thought, pondering this question.
"Who cares what it is? Wasn't it all beaten up by the teacher?" Zhun Ti said with a smile, not really caring.
Jieyin a brief silence, the guide, no longer pondering further, slowly began to speak, "Prepare to preach!"
Before long, news that Jieyin and Zhun Ti swept across the Primordial World.
In West Kunlun, Yuanshi, having recovered from his injuries, learned that the Two Western Sages were going to preach, and a hint of anger immediately appeared on his face.
"That would only make us laugh. Brother, shouldn't we get ready too?"
Yuanshi rose to his feet, regaining the demeanor of Sage.
Laozi didn't rush to reply. He paused for a moment and slowly said, "I'm trying to figure out if that Heavenly Eye is related to Ling Xiao. If we rashly go to the Chaos Realm to preach, we might be in danger."
