Luo Hou Launches a Sneak Attack on Hongjun

Beyond the heavens, in Chaos.

Chu Yi Hall.

"It seems the plan succeeded. Under the influence of the Heavenly Dao, they really did forget me."

After observing Hongjun and the others' reactions, Chu Yi pondered.

Why had the Heavenly Dao altered their memories?

It was surely to control them more effectively.

The name Pangu's younger brother would definitely plunge them into endless terror. They feared that one day, Pangu's younger brother might appear and slaughter them all.

Altering their memories was for the sake of carrying out the Heavenly Dao's own plan.

Mm, the Heavenly Dao must have first confirmed that Chu Yi had successfully come into being.

Only after confirming that there was no such person as Chu Yi would the Heavenly Dao proceed with the alteration.

Luo Hou, Hongjun, Yang Mei, Heaven and Earth, and Yin-Yang had been influenced far too deeply by the Heavenly Dao... Take this great battle against the ferocious beasts, for instance. It appeared to be their own conscious decision to crusade against the ferocious beasts for providence, but in truth, the Heavenly Dao had been guiding them invisibly.

"The Three Pure Ones are the protagonists of the primordial world. Even if I don't intervene, the Heavenly Dao won't let them die... The Twelve Ancestral Witches still have the Witch-Demon War ahead of them, so the Heavenly Dao likely won't let them die either...

"It is highly possible that it will pull a move like this—use the fortune of creating heaven as protection, manifest the Heavenly Dao, and save them..."

Chu Yi considered this in secret.

However, if he did not make a move... then he would be unable to complete Option Two.

How should he go about this?

"How about this...

"There is a master-disciple affinity between the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun. That is the course planned by the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps... I can act through Hongjun's hand?"

Chu Yi thought to himself.

He possessed the Laws of Time and Space... and they were both flawless, complete Laws. He was capable of freezing an entire space.

He could make his move in the Chaos beyond the heavens, activate the Primordial Origin Pivot Pearl, and use the Primordial Origin Domain to cover the entire battlefield and isolate it from the Heavenly Dao.

Then he could activate the Law of Time and freeze the battlefield!

After that, he could use the Law of Space to transfer Hongjun into his palace, control him, and make Hongjun take action.

That way, the Heavenly Dao would not notice, and Hongjun's intervention would be permitted.

On the battlefield.

The scent of smoke and ash permeated the air.

Hongjun and the other three were already eyeing the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches like tigers watching prey.

"So, you insist on taking this risk?" Taiqing slowly spoke.

"Stop putting on a brave front. I know the Three Pure Ones are extraordinary, but you are still far too weak."

Hongjun smiled. "To be honest, I can sense that I have some connection with you Three Pure Ones. Perhaps we are fated to cross paths in the future. If you behave yourselves, I may be able to save you."

Fate was a wondrous thing beyond words.

Ever since Hongjun had obtained a fragment of the Fortune Jade Disc... his perception of his own opportunities had grown remarkably deep.

For example, if he sensed that there was a magic treasure somewhere, nine times out of ten, he would obtain it.

"Bullshit!" At that moment, Shangqing rose to his feet and shouted, "We Three Pure Ones will live and die alongside the Twelve Ancestral Witches! If you have the guts, touch even one of us and see whether anyone comes after you!"

"Well now, kid, you've got quite the temper." Heaven and Earth could no longer listen to this.

The Law of Heaven and Earth unfolded.

Terrifying power bloomed from Heaven and Earth.

The next instant, the Law of Heaven and Earth blasted directly toward the Three Pure Ones.

It was also at that very moment!

Demonic qi suddenly surged between heaven and earth.

Crimson, blood-colored demonic qi directly blanketed half the sky.

A long spear descended from the heavens, hurtling straight at Hongjun.

"Watch out."

Heaven and Earth noticed it at once and immediately manipulated the Law of Heaven and Earth to meet that demonic spear.

Boom!

Terrifying shockwaves spread outward.

The Godslayer Spear had its trajectory altered by Heaven and Earth, and the sneak attack failed.

Yet the Godslayer Spear's power was immense. Terrifying corrosive force bore down on him.

Fortunately, Hongjun and the others had all reacted and immediately moved to assist Heaven and Earth.

"The attacker is formidable. Everyone, be careful."

Still shaken, Heaven and Earth issued a warning.

Had he been even slightly distracted just now, he might have been tainted by that terrifying corrosive force. If that had happened, he would have been in serious trouble.

"This demonic qi is... Luo Hou?!"

Hongjun immediately became wary.

Luo Hou's vicious reputation had long spread throughout the primordial world. He was immensely powerful and killed any living being he encountered.

Over the years, Hongjun had regarded himself as a follower of the righteous path... and in the unseen currents of fate, he had long become Luo Hou's enemy.

"Quite lively here."

With a thought from Luo Hou, the Godslayer Spear returned to his hand.

The more he used this ominous heavenly treasure, the more naturally it obeyed his will.

"Luo Hou, how despicable of you! You actually launched a sneak attack on us!"

Seeing Luo Hou's expression, Hongjun's anger flared.

"Hahaha, what a pity. I actually failed to skewer you to death with one strike."

A wicked smile hung from Luo Hou's lips.

"How shameless. It's as though accusing him of a sneak attack is praise."

Heaven and Earth gritted his teeth in fury.

"Heaven and Earth? You have some skill. But soon enough, you'll be a dead man."

Luo Hou's smile did not fade.

"Luo Hou, you cur! Do you take us all for decorations?" Yin-Yang stepped forward and said.

"Exactly. The four of us have joined forces. Do you really think we cannot deal with you?" Yang Mei said coldly.

"Oh, right, I forgot about you two. You two will soon be dead men as well."

Luo Hou's smile receded slightly, though regret still lingered in his heart.

He had originally intended to sneak attack Hongjun. As long as he could stab Hongjun to death... even if he failed to kill Yang Mei and the other three, he would still come out far ahead.

Now that he had to face all four of Hongjun's group at once, he truly was not confident.

Mm, even though Hongjun's group of four had expended too much power fighting Shen Ni, it would still be difficult for Luo Hou to accomplish the feat of fighting one against four.

He possessed the Godslayer Spear, but... Hongjun had a fragment of the Fortune Jade Disc.

The Godslayer Spear could restrain all things... except... the Fortune Jade Disc, which could restrain it.

Although the fragment of the Fortune Jade Disc could not activate the Three Thousand Great Daos, activating even a single broken Great Dao would be enough to restrain the Godslayer Spear...

That Dao was called... the Righteous Dao.

"Why waste words with him? Attack! In this Daoist's view, slaughtering this demon who endangers all living beings would also be a great merit."

Hongjun shouted. Laws surged around his body, and fragments of the Fortune Jade Disc appeared at his sides.

Mm, he had now gathered all three thousand fragments of the Fortune Jade Disc.

He was the first to charge toward Luo Hou.

"Yin-Yang, keep an eye on those fifteen youngsters. Heaven and Earth and I will go assist Hongjun."

After Yang Mei spoke, he exchanged a glance with Heaven and Earth, then followed close behind Hongjun.

A world-shaking battle was about to erupt.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who would have thought that the demon who nearly killed us in the past would indirectly save us today?"

The Heaven-Connecting Sect Master let out a breath.

"Third Brother, the crisis has not yet passed. That Yin-Yang old monster is guarding us, and over there, the Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Primordial Qilin are watching us as well!"

The Primordial Origin Heavenly Venerable said, "For now, we should recover our breath and seize this chance to rest."

"Everyone, protect me. Once my spatial power recovers, I will take everyone and escape."

After Di Jiang spoke, he began to meditate.
