Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests

"Still daring to scheme against me? It was time to fan this fire to its fiercest blaze!!"

As Dijiang freed more and more Fierce Beasts, the resistance he encountered naturally grew greater and greater.

Among them,

Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao Saint, was especially troublesome.

He was like a great net, constantly searching for those causing trouble throughout the Primordial World.

And so,

Dijiang naturally had to avoid him.

As a result, his speed in releasing Fierce Beasts gradually slowed.

Fortunately, every time he released a Fierce Beast, he obtained a Law.

After releasing hundreds upon thousands of Fierce Beasts, his Law of Strength became increasingly terrifying.

"Can't release any more???"

Unfortunately, when Dijiang released even the Top Ten Fierce Beasts, he encountered unprecedented resistance.

"All ten Top Ten Fierce Beasts are out, along with a thousand Fierce Beasts."

"With such an army pressing down upon them, that should be enough to make them drink a whole pot."

The Heavenly Dao was a complete Great Dao.

Yet because of Heaven-Splitting, it was likely incomplete as well.

That was why it needed Hongjun's external power for Dao Integration.

The purpose was to complete the Great Dao that was the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao needed Hongjun, and Hongjun also wished to comprehend the Great Dao through the Heavenly Dao.

When those two powers erupted completely,

even Dijiang in his current state had to proceed with utmost caution.

Still, Dijiang was already greatly satisfied with the thousand Laws he had gained this time.

That was because the Law of Strength, after merging with a thousand Laws, had already acquired the aura of the Great Dao of Strength.

To put it bluntly,

if he wanted to flee now, no living being in the entire Primordial World could stop Dijiang.

But if he did that,

his Cowering System might completely leave him.

Now that he had a chance to ascend to an even more powerful realm,

perhaps even reaching a realm Father God Pangu himself had failed to reach,

Dijiang decided to lie low for the time being.

After all, with more than a thousand Laws merged into the Law of Strength, the construction of its Great Dao Foundation was incomparably complex.

Even with Father God Pangu's cultivation experience, Dijiang still needed time to consolidate it himself.

Yet before he had cultivated for long, troublemakers came knocking again.

There were not many Fierce Beasts.

Only three thousand.

But whenever one of those three thousand Fierce Beasts died, another replacement would mysteriously appear.

In any case, the total always remained exactly three thousand.

Yet those three thousand seemed impossible to kill.

Who knew who had ended the Beast Calamity in the first place?

Although

the three thousand Fierce Beasts had not emerged, a thousand Fierce Beasts had come out from the Beast space-time land.

The disciples of the Sages

were instantly left hanging by a thread.

The Intercepting Sect proclaimed that ten thousand immortals came to pay homage.

Yet in just a few days, over half had already been killed or injured.

Even Xuandu, the foremost disciple among the Three Pure Ones, could barely hold things together now.

If this continued, the entire world would descend into complete chaos.

"Damn the Dragon-Han Three Clans, damn the Demon Court!!"

Zhunti flew into a rage.

When the thousand Fierce Beasts emerged, the Dragon-Han Three Clans had actually vanished without a trace.

And the Demon Court, the foremost power, had actually bundled up the Primordial River Diagram Formation and the Cosmic Starry Sky Grand Formation and disappeared into High Heavens Palace.

"Nuwa!!!"

The Sages all looked toward Nuwa.

It was perfectly normal for the three clans to flee.

But what about the Demon Court?

It had actually vanished soundlessly beneath the Sages' very noses.

This was simply monstrous rebellion!!!

The Demon Court had left, so who was supposed to deal with the thousand Fierce Beasts?

"I have been in Purple Cloud Palace all this time. What does this have to do with me!!!"

Nuwa sneered.

She had indeed issued the order, but with all the Sages present, they could not pin it on her.

After all, they were the ones who had demanded that she give the Demon-Summoning Banner to Di Jun. She had merely used the opportunity to play a small trick.

That alone sent the Sages into total collapse.

Of course,

the Demon Court's concealment would definitely affect her Heavenly Dao Merit.

After all, if the Demon Court no longer governed the heavens, how could the Heavenly Dao grant her any merit?

But Nuwa cared.

She needed a thousand years, but the present situation simply could not hold out for a thousand years.

Thus, when she gave the Demon-Summoning Banner to Di Jun, she had taken the opportunity to gather them into the Landscape and Society Diagram.

Through her manipulation, every soldier and horse of the Demon Court vanished completely.

"Could the disaster still be diverted eastward???"

Seeing Nuwa refuse to admit anything, Zhunti had no choice but to look toward the Taiqing Saint.

"Alas, in the end, we still had to take this step!"

Just as the Sages looked at one another in dismay, Daoist Hongjun's figure appeared before them.

"Greetings, Teacher Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao!!!"

The Sages immediately bowed.

Though they were exalted Sages,

it was precisely because they were Sages that they knew just how terrifying Hongjun's methods were.

Even at their realm, there were matters they still could not understand.

Such as Hongjun's Three Corpses Severing.

Why had only a few of them succeeded?

In the end, they could only attribute it to the Primordial Purple Qi.

Thus, when a strand of Primordial Purple Qi pointed directly toward Pangu Hall, countless living beings went utterly mad.

Hongjun made no visible movement, yet a vast purple qi swept across heaven and earth.

This power was not attacking the Fierce Beasts. On the contrary, it caused them no harm whatsoever.

Wherever it spread,

from the Nine Heavens above to the Nine Hells below,

whether cultivators were sealed away or beyond space-time,

upon receiving this power's summons, they all flew toward Purple Cloud Palace.

"Are these the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests????"

"Teacher, what does he intend to do?"

"I never expected so much power to be hidden within the Primordial World."

The Sages watched the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests fly toward Purple Cloud Palace, their faces all filled with shock.

After they had become Sages,

the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests of old had either fallen or passed away in meditation.

Overnight,

aside from a few special beings, the Three Thousand Red-Dust Guests seemed to have all disappeared from the Primordial Wilderness.

It turned out that they had sensed back then that they did not wish to remain beneath the Sages for long.

Moreover, most of them had no attachments, so they either fled into the void or leapt into the Space-Time Realm to hide.

Now Hongjun had summoned them.

He actually wanted them to repay the karma of listening to the Dao at Purple Cloud Palace all those years ago.

If not for that,

which Red-Dust Guest would be willing to emerge amid these three Immeasurable Tribulations?

"Everyone."

"Immeasurable Tribulations are also opportunities. I hope you can all break through to the Sage Realm through this battle!!!"

Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao said no more.

He merely told them

that if they could resolve these three Immeasurable Tribulations, then with such merit, they would absolutely become Sages in a single leap.

Furthermore,

there was still a strand of Primordial Purple Qi between heaven and earth.

Most crucially,

after this battle, they could completely sever their ties with Hongjun.

The Demon Court hid within Nuwa's Landscape and Society Diagram, while the West entered the Blissful World of Zhunti and Jieyin.

The Human Race possessed the Taiqing Saint's Taiji Diagram and, under Xuandu's protection, all hid away.

And what about the Dragon-Han Three Clans?

Pangu Hall!!!

"Ancestral Dragon, is this place truly as terrible as you claim?"

Yuan Feng looked at Ancestral Dragon with a face full of doubt.

When the Fierce Beasts launched their great assault upon the Primordial Wilderness, they knew that continuing to resist would be utterly futile.

They might as well abandon the Primordial Wilderness outright and lead all the forces bearing Calamity Qi into Pangu Hall.

"I originally intended to occupy Pangu Hall alone, but the three of us now bear the Calamity Qi of the Dragon-Han Calamity."

"If one suffers a loss, all three are wounded!!"

"If I said this, then naturally I have my reasons."

Ancestral Dragon did not tell them that he had been here before.
