Dozens of Great Divine Power Users attacked at once. Knowing he had no chance of survival, Hong Yun immediately activated the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd and charged at Kunpeng, who was closest to him.

Soul Scattering Sand surged forth, blotting out the sky and sun. It transformed into several Rivers of Malevolent Qi that stretched across all directions, forcing Kunpeng to bring out the Demon Master Palace to defend himself.

"Hong Yun, you're courting death!"

Kunpeng had never expected that Hong Yun would still dare resist in this hopeless situation. The Sea Overturning Divine Blade immediately revealed its supreme edge.

"Kill!"

Styx was unwilling to fall behind as well. Red Lotus Karmic Fire transformed into a crimson sea, forcing back the other Great Divine Power Users, while Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords instantly slashed through the void.

Countless Blood God Sons appeared in the void, forming the Blood River Great Formation. It pierced through heaven and earth, completely cutting off Hong Yun's retreat.

Di Jun, meanwhile, remained utterly calm, appearing to watch tigers fight from the mountain. Yet in secret, he had nearly a hundred Great Luo Demon Gods seal off the battlefield.

Clearly, he was determined to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi. No matter who killed Hong Yun, no one would be allowed to take the Primordial Violet Qi away before his eyes.

Yet when Hong Yun faced this certain death, he cast aside his usual image as a good-natured man. He gripped the Primordial Violet Qi tightly in his hand and laughed. "I'll fight you all to the death! Even if I die, I will never let the Primordial Violet Qi fall into your hands!"

"Die!"

At that moment, Hong Yun directly chose to self-destruct the Two Corpses of Good and Evil. The enormous power swept across heaven and earth, blasting the Demon Master Palace millions of miles away.

Kunpeng's expression became incomparably ugly.

If not for the Demon Master Palace protecting him, even if he did not die, he would have suffered unimaginable injuries.

Styx seized the opportunity and appeared behind Hong Yun. Holding his twin swords, he unleashed shocking killing intent, looking as though he would not rest until Hong Yun was slain.

"You won't get off easy either!"

Sensing the inescapable killing intent behind him, Hong Yun hardened his heart and directly self-destructed his body and primordial spirit. "To hell with the Primordial Violet Qi!"

Boom!

Amid a tremendous roar and a rain of blood that filled the sky, Hong Yun immediately perished, body and soul destroyed. The many Great Divine Power Users hurriedly moved to seize the Primordial Violet Qi!

"Tai Yi, stop Styx!"

Di Jun made a swift decision. While ordering Eastern Emperor Taiyi to suppress Styx, he wrapped himself in True Sun Fire that filled the sky and flew toward the place where Hong Yun had fallen.

"Damn it!"

Styx was furious beyond measure. Hong Yun's self-destruction had also inflicted considerable injuries on him.

If not for the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus protecting him, he could only have relied on the Blood God Sons to withstand it head-on, thereby losing his qualification to contend for the Primordial Violet Qi!

The Great Divine Power Users swarmed forward, but all were stopped by Eastern Emperor Taiyi. The Chaos Bell evolved Primordial Chaos Time and Space, its unparalleled power erupting in an instant.

"The Primordial Violet Qi is mine!"

Yet just as Di Jun was feeling pleased with himself, a stream of Yin-Yang Qi instantly pierced through the heavens, and an unfamiliar Great Divine Power User suddenly emerged from the void.

"Who are you?"

Di Jun flew into a rage and brought out the Sun-Moon Precision Wheels, attacking the unfamiliar Great Divine Power User.

Kunpeng, supported by the Demon Master Palace, flew back once more. But before he could approach the Primordial Violet Qi, another unfamiliar Great Divine Power User stopped him.

That person held a pearl emanating chaotic aura. Vast, boundless magical power erupted in an instant, making Kunpeng feel a bone-chilling dread.

Elsewhere, Styx, who had just regained his footing, was also stopped by someone—an unfamiliar Great Divine Power User wielding a Top-Grade Houtian Spirit Sword.

Meanwhile, Xuan Qing in the Northern Sea watched these sudden developments in silence through a spirit treasure called the Mysterious Heaven Mirror, which Zhi Ming had taken out.

Others might not know who these three unfamiliar Great Divine Power Users were, but how could he not?

Wasn't the one wielding the Yin-Yang Dao Fan, battling Di Jun for the Primordial Violet Qi, his deeply concealed First Martial Uncle?

And wasn't the Great Divine Power User with the Fuli Primordial Beginning Pearl above his head, who had sent Demon Master Kunpeng flying with one strike, his stern and unsmiling Second Martial Uncle?

Even Sages could not resist being tempted by something like Primordial Violet Qi. Though the Three Pure Ones had already become Sages, they did not mind securing it for their disciples under the sect.

If Xuan Qing did not possess the Dao aura of the Yin-Yang Dao Fan and the Fuli Primordial Beginning Pearl within his spiritual platform, he might not have been able to see through their disguises!

And since he knew the identities of those two, the identity of the Great Divine Power User holding the Top-Grade Houtian Spirit Sword was naturally self-evident!

Other than his "good teacher," Sect Master Tongtian, who else could advance and retreat alongside those two?

However, perhaps feeling that it was inappropriate for Sages to personally compete for it, the three tacitly chose to conceal their identities and used methods no one had ever seen before.

Watching this scene, Zhi Ming seemed thoughtful. He could not help looking at Xuan Qing and asking, "Those three Great Divine Power Users should be incarnations of the Three Pure Ones, right?"

Xuan Qing did not answer.

Some things were fine to know, but they absolutely could not be spoken aloud.

Yet silence was sometimes an answer as well. Zhi Ming already had a certain answer in his heart.

At the same time.

Another change arose on the battlefield. Three more unfamiliar Great Divine Power Users joined the fray, and the Primordial Violet Qi continuously changed hands amid their divine abilities.

Xuan Qing fell into thought.

He still had some understanding of the top Great Divine Power Users of the Primordial Wilderness. It was impossible for so many to suddenly appear at once. If his guess was correct... these three newcomers were the incarnations of the other three Sages?

They had been watching the battlefield all along!

Although Nuwa had no disciples and appeared detached from worldly affairs, unconcerned with contention, she had an elder brother who was also one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace—Fuxi!

As for the two Sages of the West, whenever they saw anything worthwhile, they wanted nothing more than to bring it back to the West. How could they possibly resist the temptation of Primordial Violet Qi?

Seeing this, Zhi Ming looked at Xuan Qing and asked, "Who do you think can obtain the Primordial Violet Qi?"

"No one will get it!"

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Qing replied, "If this Primordial Violet Qi exists, it is like The One Who Escapes, able to give those Great Divine Power Users a sliver of hope! But if someone refines it, they will completely lose that sliver of hope! Therefore, I do not think anyone can obtain this strand of Primordial Violet Qi!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Ming furrowed his brow. In truth, just moments ago, he had intended to send out an External Incarnation to contend for this Primordial Violet Qi.

But after hearing Xuan Qing's words, he felt they made great sense and immediately abandoned the idea.

More and more Great Divine Power Users joined the battle. Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi could no longer hold them back, and in the blink of an eye, several Great Divine Power Users perished, body and soul destroyed.

But the strongest among them were still Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Demon Emperor Jun, Demon Master Kunpeng, Old Ancestor Minghe, and the six unfamiliar Great Divine Power Users!

Finally, in one clash, their divine abilities all struck the Primordial Violet Qi. Terrifying power instantly tore several spatial rifts across the sky.

The Primordial Violet Qi attached itself to the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd and fled into the void, vanishing without a trace. The faces of every Great Divine Power User present darkened.

"Damn it!"

Di Jun cursed aloud even more fiercely.

Had he known this would happen, he would have brought Xi He, Fuxi, Bai Ze, and the others along!

He had planned this ambush for a long time. To draw Fuxi away, he had specifically sent him with Bai Ze and the others to Wuzhuang Temple to intercept Zhen Yuanzi!

As for Xi He, he had arranged for her to guard the Heavenly Court alongside Ji Meng and the others!

He had believed that even without the Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, the Great Luo Demon Gods he had brought would be enough to secure the Primordial Violet Qi.

Yet he had never expected six unfamiliar Great Divine Power Users to suddenly appear at the critical moment!

Thus, everything fell short at the final step!
