Hongjun's Killing Intent, Choosing Again

Kunpeng was utterly shocked, witnessing Ziwei kill Haotian without the slightest hesitation.

That's incredibly fierce; he even dared to kill the Dao Ancestor's attendant.

Thinking of this, Kunpeng suddenly smiled. If the Dao Ancestor were to be enraged, wouldn't that be...

At this moment, all the powerful beings in the Primordial World revealed expressions of shock and admiration.

Some people knew Haotian's identity, while others did not; those who did know immediately gave him a thumbs up.

Regardless, this boldness is indeed impressive.

Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Dao Ancestor?

Even if they are too proud to act directly due to their status, their underhanded tactics are still quite serious.

Upon witnessing this scene, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian's expressions became incredibly strange, beyond words.

Ziwei's killing of Haotian was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Dao Ancestor.

What appears to be a competition between children also reflects the status of the masters behind them.

Ling Xiao's attendant killed Dao Ancestor's attendant.

Isn't this a one-sided view? There's a saying that in some aspects, Dao Ancestor is inferior to Ling Xiao and has been outshone?

Of course, they only dared to think these words in their hearts and dared not reveal them in the slightest.

Who knows if the Dao Ancestor is a petty person?

If that's the case, wouldn't it explode?

Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian exchanged a silent glance, seemingly knowing each other's thoughts.

Actually, this is a good thing for them.

Ling Xiao indirectly slapped the Dao Ancestor in the face. If the Dao Ancestor became angry because of this and held an even greater grudge against Ling Xiao, that would be for the best.

Silence speaks louder than words here.

Although the Three Pure Ones did not speak, their expressions were quite remarkable.

Laozi and Yuanshi, in particular, couldn't stop smiling.

Although some things are hard to say, laughter is still okay.

Is laughing a crime?

Purple Heaven Palace.

"You wicked creature! You actually killed my child!?"

Hongjun's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed with cold light, strange phenomena appeared, Chaos raged outside the Purple Heaven Palace Four Primordial Elements surged, yin and yang were in chaos, and there was a scene of great Destruction everywhere.

He was truly enraged.

Besides his anger towards Ling Xiao and Ziwei, he also harbored resentment towards Haotian.

This fool is utterly stupid. He disgraced himself the moment he was born. Of all people to lose to, he had to lose to Ling Xiao's pageboy and then get killed.

His first life, which involved experiencing tribulations in the Primordial World, ended so abruptly.

If it weren't for the potential future use of Haotian, Hongjun wouldn't even bother with him anymore.

Is Ling Xiao testing my limits?

Hongjun snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "First, Di Jun gave the River Map and Luo Scroll to Ziwei Attendant, instructing him to set up a great formation to fight against the demon race."

Now, having Ziwei kill Haotian, this repeated provocation—is it a test of his bottom line?

"Where is that wretched child, Ling Xiao, now...?"

Hongjun's expression shifted. From these clues, he thought of a place, his expression changed, and his gaze suddenly turned to the Sun Star.

Meanwhile, the Sun Star.

[Hongjun's displeasure has been detected. The system is examining the Sun Star, attempting to locate the host. Please make the following choice.]

[Option 1: Uncover the Chaos Bead's disguise and allow Hongjun to examine it. Reward: Four Primordial Chaos Spirits. Earth: Turbid Soil; Water: Infinite Profound Ice; Fire: Great Sun Golden Flame; Wind: Void Gale.]

[Option Two: Continue to conceal your aura, refuse Hongjun's inspection, and be rewarded with the Bodhi Tree, Ten Innate Spiritual Roots.]

The system notification sounded unexpectedly, and Ling Xiao's face showed a look of surprise.

"Again?"

"Why is Hongjun examining the Sun Star just like Yuanshi?"

"It seems we've given ourselves away..."

Ling Xiao's mind raced with various thoughts, then he looked at the two choices without the slightest hesitation.

"System, I choose option two."

Of these two choices, the first one is obviously the most valuable. Needless to say, the system's nature is to stir up trouble.

The Four Primordial Spirits of Chaos represent the fundamental power of the four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind.

Although this thing is very precious, it's of no use to him at his current level.

He'd be more interested in the Bodhi Tree.

After making his Ling Xiao's figure vanished into thin air, completely concealed by the Chaos Bead.

Hongjun is not like Yuanshi; he still needs to be a little more cautious.

However, it is almost impossible for Hongjun to discover himself across endless time and space.

Unless the individual personally descends upon the Sun Star.

Soon, Ling Xiao sensed a faint divine thought, extremely vast and indescribable, possessing an aura of supreme power that surpassed all others.

In fact, Hongjun was the ruler of the Primordial World, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, and his power was naturally terrifying.

"It seems Hongjun intends to kill me..."

Ling Xiao thought to himself, "This is not hard to understand. Ziwei Attendant killed Haotian, and Hongjun, who was furious, naturally wanted to vent his anger on him. After all, as the Dao Ancestor, it would be too ridiculous for him to attack a mere boy."

The only option is to focus on him.

What's this called?

Impotent rage!

"Hmm... that wretched creature isn't on the Sun Star? Could I have guessed wrong?"

Hongjun withdrew his gaze, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes. Judging from the various clues, Ling Xiao was very likely on the Sun Star. Why was there no trace of him there?

Those two wretches, Di Jun Tai Yi, are both here.

"Could it be that they knew I would be angry, were afraid, and ran away in advance?" Hongjun thought to himself. This was very likely, and if that were the case, it would make sense.

"Hmph! At least you know what's good for you!"

A cold glint flashed in Hongjun's eyes, his killing intent undiminished. Ling Xiao was now even more troublesome than Yang Mei.

Yang Mei knew she couldn't defeat him, so she ran into the Chaos to hide, but Ling Xiao still dared to cause trouble behind her back.

Most importantly, this wicked creature seems to have an extremely clear understanding of the grand scheme of Heavenly Dao and the course of the universe, and it is trying to stop and disrupt it.

Logically speaking, Ling Xiao is not Sage whose primordial spirit is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, so he should not be able to know the general trend of the Heavenly Dao so clearly.

But he somehow found out, and seemed to know a lot about it.

"An outlier is an outlier..."

Hongjun remained expressionless. He was now certain that Ling Xiao was more troublesome than Yang Mei, and his level of threat had surpassed that of Yang Mei.

Fortunately, this wicked child was born late. If he had been born one or two Tribulation earlier, there might have been serious problems, and it would have been questionable whether he could even attain enlightenment.

Fortunately, he has now gained the upper hand.

The advantage is in my hands!

Hongjun nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the Primordial World, where the Human Race and demon races remained locked in a stalemate, unable to determine a victor.

This can't go on.

We need to devise a plan to break this deadlock.

The demon race cannot afford to be defeated yet!

Hongjun's eyes flickered as he pondered, when he suddenly noticed that the Witch Clan, originally in the West, was now charging aggressively towards the Eastern Wasteland, shouting and clamoring for battle.

This is an attack on the demon race, to cut off their retreat!

"You wretched child! How dare you cause trouble?"

Hongjun was furious, his eyes flashing with cold light. If the Witch Clan be wiped out if they were attacked from both sides?

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still.

He abruptly stood up and left Purple Heaven Palace!
