Desperate Struggle

"Where are the Three Sects Disciples?"

"Elucidating Sect disciples are here. Please give your orders, Martial Uncle."

"Intercepting Sect disciples are here. Please give your orders, Martial Uncle."

"Humanity Sect disciples are here. Please give your orders, Martial Uncle."

The Three Sects Disciples, who had long been waiting, appeared before Qing Xuanzi full of confidence.

The twelve disciples specially cultivated by the Elucidating Sect and Intercepting Sect had all reached the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Cihang had even reached the middle stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

As for Great Master Xuan Du, he was indeed worthy of being human. He had surpassed the others later on and directly overtaken Cihang, reaching the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

"Three Sects Disciples, heed my command. Exterminate the Moon Worship Sect heretics completely."

"We obey the decree."

Like tigers released from their cages, the Three Sects Disciples pounced directly upon the Moon Worship Sect members slaughtering the living beings of the prehistoric world everywhere.

The Moon Worship Sect's main fighting force consisted of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and they were no match for the Three Sects Disciples.

They collapsed at first contact.

Seeing that the Moon Worship Sect was no match for them, the Heavenly Dao screamed madly, "Kunpeng! Kunpeng! Come out and tear these traitors apart for me!"

Kunpeng was a piece the Heavenly Dao had planted within the Demon Clan.

Through the Heavenly Dao's deliberate arrangements, half of the Ten Great Demon Generals were Kunpeng's people.

Fortunately, Qing Xuanzi discovered this in time and had Nüwa use the Demon Refining Pot to identify them.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous.

When the Moon Worship Sect emerged, Kunpeng had known that he would not be able to hide his identity for long.

Only when the Heavenly Dao called for him like a death warrant did he slowly lead roughly half of the Demon Clan toward the Heaven and Earth Membrane.

His purpose was to sabotage the Stars All Over The Heavens Formation.

The moment the Heavenly Dao called out Kunpeng's name, Qing Xuanzi sneered. "Where are the Eight Divisions of the Human Race Dao Palace?"

"The Heaven Division is here. Please give your orders, Venerable Master."

"The Earth Division is here. Please give your orders, Venerable Master."

"The Mysterious Division is here. Please give your orders, Venerable Master."

"The Huang Division is here. Please give your orders, Venerable Master."

"..."

Lead the Congenital Human Race and the Great Witches to exterminate Kunpeng's forces.

"We accept the command."

After Qing Xuanzi's painstaking training over a full eighty thousand years, the Three Thousand Congenital Humans had taken turns using the Enlightenment Stone.

They had now all become Great Luo Golden Immortals, and under Qing Xuanzi's deliberate arrangements,

they never fought alone. They all fought using formations.

They were deadly weapons on the battlefield.

With the Great Witches' assistance, the Three Thousand Congenital Humans advanced like bulldozers.

They crushed the Demon Clan led by Kunpeng all the way back to the North Sea.

Seeing the situation turn against him and knowing that he no longer had a place in the prehistoric world, Kunpeng fled into the boundless chaos.

Within the Heavenly Dao Space, the Heavenly Dao saw that Kunpeng had been completely useless and had fled directly.

"Traitors! A bunch of traitors! You all deserve to die! Hongjun, Qing Xuanzi, hahaha, do you think you've won?"

"Hongmeng Purple Qi, explode! Explode! Explode! All of you, explode! Ah!"

The Heavenly Dao had completely gone mad. It was nearly enraged to death.

It frantically attempted to detonate the Saints' Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This was its final method. If the Hongmeng Purple Qi were detonated,

the Saints would immediately perish. Even if they were revived, without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, they could never become Saints again.

Without Saints, the prehistoric world would suffer disaster.

Its destruction would be inevitable.

But would the Saints act as the Heavenly Dao wished?

Hongjun's shout completely extinguished the Heavenly Dao's final hope. "Devour it and refine it."

Including Hongjun, the seven Saints instantly devoured and refined their Hongmeng Purple Qi, freeing themselves from the Heavenly Dao's control forever.

As for Jie Yin and Zhunti, their Hongmeng Purple Qi was currently in Qing Xuanzi's hands.

Qing Xuanzi had told the two of them as soon as he captured them: hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi, or let the Heavenly Dao detonate it.

The two did not hesitate in choosing to hand over their Hongmeng Purple Qi.

If they handed it over now, they could still live. Once the Hongmeng Purple Qi exploded, whether they could survive would depend on Hongjun's wishes.

Even if Hongjun was willing to revive them, when he would revive them was another matter entirely.

They quickly thought it through and chose to hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

The Heavenly Dao completely wilted. The Hongmeng Purple Qi had not detonated as expected.

Instead, it had completely slipped beyond its control.

It finally understood that every one of its schemes had fallen into a trap.

With no trump cards left, the Heavenly Dao instead calmed down. It was already extremely weak.

The World Cleansing White Lotus's suppressive effect on it was especially obvious.

"Hongjun, is there truly no possibility left?"

"Heavenly Dao, everything was caused by you. We merely sought to survive."

"Hahaha, what a fine 'merely seeking to survive.' Do you dare say you have never had selfish motives?"

"I do not."

"In that case, we can still cooperate. Yes, and Qing Xuanzi as well. The three of us can work together. What do you say?"

"Impossible."

The Heavenly Dao fell silent. Barely clinging to life, it spoke one final sentence:

"Hongjun, you will not win."

"How dare you!"

The Heavenly Dao had lost all signs of life, yet Hongjun sensed that nearly one-tenth of the Heavenly Dao Source was missing.

A phantom appeared within the Heavenly Dao Space.

"Karma, it's you."

"No, I came to save a certain fool."

"Destiny Demon God, so that's how it is." Hongjun watched Karma's phantom pull a figure with almost no life left from the Heavenly Dao Space.

It was none other than the Destiny Demon God.

As the Karma Demon God's phantom vanished, he left behind a sentence:

"Xingchen, Yang Mei, and Lu Ya have divided that tenth of the Heavenly Dao Source among themselves.

That Heavenly Dao Source bears the Curse of Destiny. They will soon come looking for you. No, they are already here."

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun, Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nüwa, and Qing Xuanzi stood in a row.

Facing them were Xingchen, Yang Mei, and Lu Ya, who had each gained a portion of the Heavenly Dao Source and achieved the Half-Step Heavenly Dao Realm.

Xingchen and the others were deeply wary of Qing Xuanzi's Myriad Dao Bodies technique. They had already developed a psychological shadow from it.

After all, anyone who was crazily attacked by countless identical faces would be traumatized.

"Qing Xuanzi, you are a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal. Why must you mingle with the Saints of the prehistoric world?"

Lu Ya had never given up on recruiting Qing Xuanzi.

"Hehe, take another careful look. Which one of them is not now a Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

"..."

Hongjun secretly instructed them, "The three of them are Half-Step Mixed Origin Taiji. In a one-on-one fight,

only Qing Xuanzi can likely handle them. The rest of us will hold two of them back. Qing Xuanzi,

grab one and beat him to death. As long as you take down one of them, we win. Wait for my signal.

Attack together. Attack!"

The instant Hongjun transmitted the order to attack, Qing Xuanzi's Myriad Dao Bodies appeared all around them and unleashed a storm of attacks upon Yang Mei.

When Xingchen saw countless Qing Xuanzis suddenly appear, he gave a strange cry and instantly fled millions of miles away.

Yang Mei had intended to flee alongside him, but Qing Xuanzi had singled him out, leaving him unable to escape no matter what.

Hongjun led the other Saints in using the Myriad Dao Bodies technique as well.

However, they had only just achieved the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and had yet to reach its peak, so both their numbers and strength were far inferior to Qing Xuanzi's.

Still, it was enough for them to surround the two and beat them.

Yang Mei once again suffered a barrage-like bombardment.

A Half-Step Taiji Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal was only one minor realm above Qing Xuanzi at the peak of the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

He could clearly hold out much longer.

He even had time to shout, "Fellow Daoist Qing Xuanzi, show mercy! I'll leave, all right? I'll leave! Ah! Stop hitting me!"

Qing Xuanzi followed the principle that those who walked different paths could not make plans together, and he gave Yang Mei no chance of survival.

Besides, he knew that Yang Mei would at most be severely injured. He must have left a primordial spirit outside waiting to restore him.

How could he die so easily?

Every Chaos Demon God possessed unknown life-preserving methods.
