As his words fell, Ling Wudao clapped his hands together, and a Golden Talisman appeared in the void.
The moment the talisman appeared, the entire Great Desolation began to tremble. Within the Heavenly Dao Void, the Heavenly Dao sensed a terrifying aura coming from the direction of Shouyang Mountain.
The Heavenly Dao immediately waved his hand, and the scene at Shouyang Mountain appeared before his eyes.
When he saw the Golden Talisman in the void, the Heavenly Dao frowned!
"This is a Future Talisman. Not good!"
Sensing that something was wrong, the Heavenly Dao could no longer remain still. His figure flashed, and he instantly vanished from the Heavenly Dao Void.
Meanwhile, Hongjun still did not know that Ling Wudao had used a Future Talisman. Although he did not know why the Great Desolation was trembling so violently, he was confident that no matter what methods his opponent used, he could not possibly lose.
Thus, he remained extremely calm, unaware that he would soon pay the price for his reckless move.
At this moment, the Future Talisman's radiance grew increasingly brilliant, and the dazzling light made everyone present unable to open their eyes.
After a short while, the light gradually began to fade.
Once the light had completely vanished, everyone discovered that nothing had happened.
Hongjun looked at Ling Wudao. "Is this your method?"
"But it seems to have had no effect at all."
Ling Wudao smiled faintly. "Whether it has any effect, you'll find out soon enough."
As his words fell, the void suddenly darkened. Then, a rift tore open on its own, and a figure slowly stepped out from within it.
The newcomer wore a black robe and held a Golden Talisman, yet not the slightest fluctuation of Mana emanated from him. He seemed no different from an ordinary mortal.
The black-robed man looked at Hongjun, then glanced at Ling Wudao below.
"Present Self, you summoned me here because of the Human Race Tribulation, didn't you?"
"Of course I summoned you for this. Why else would I call you here?"
Just as Ling Wudao finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao arrived as well. The moment he saw the Black Robed Man standing in the void, he instantly felt an urge to submit.
Although the Black Robed Man before him appeared utterly ordinary and lacked even the slightest aura of a cultivator,
if one looked closely, one would notice that despite having no aura of a cultivator, he stood steadily in the void and exuded an indescribable pressure, as though in his eyes, everyone was nothing more than insignificant ants.
The Heavenly Dao looked at the Black Robed Man, then knelt before him. "Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation pays respects to Senior!"
The Black Robed Man looked at the Heavenly Dao. "Heavenly Dao, you arrived at the right time. This saves me the trouble of going to the Heavenly Dao Void to find you."
"The Human Race Tribulation ends here. Do you have any objections?"
"Everything shall be decided by Senior!"
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao did not dare meet the Black Robed Man's gaze. Though he knew that the Black Robed Man before him was Ling Wudao, he still did not dare offer any rebuttal or resistance.
After all, Black Robe Ling Wudao possessed the strength to kill him in an instant. A single glance was enough to reduce him to dust.
"Heavenly Dao, you are quite sensible. The Human Race Tribulation has ended today, but the Demon Race's slaughter of the human race must also be punished."
After Black Robe Ling Wudao spoke, he clenched his hand, and the Golden Talisman in his grasp instantly shattered.
Immediately afterward, explosions rang out throughout the Demon Race's Hundreds of Millions of Soldiers.
A series of explosions erupted in the void. The ceaseless blasts were like thunder shaking the earth, leaving all the Saints present utterly stunned.
Although they too could kill hundreds of millions of demons in an instant, there was no way they could make hundreds of millions of demons perish so effortlessly.
Elsewhere, when Di Jun and Tai Yi saw that the hundreds of millions of Demon Race soldiers had simply vanished, their hearts sank to the bottom. The Future Self Ling Wudao had summoned was simply absurdly powerful.
If that Future Self attacked them now, they would be completely finished.
At this moment, Di Jun was utterly terrified. He grabbed Tai Yi and flew toward the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
Yet when Black Robe Ling Wudao saw Di Jun and Tai Yi flee back to the Heavenly Court, he did not pursue and kill them. After all, if he wanted to kill them now, it would take only a single thought!
The reason he did not kill them was that the Witch and Demon Tribulation still lay ahead, and his Present Self also needed some tempering.
After annihilating the hundreds of millions of demons, Ling Wudao looked at Hongjun. "A mere spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao dared scheme against the human race. But for the Heavenly Dao's sake, I will spare your life."
"Still, though you may escape death, you cannot escape punishment. I will seal you within Zixiao Palace for ten million years. Remain there and accept your punishment properly!"
As his words fell, Hongjun's figure suddenly vanished. When he appeared again, he was already back inside Zixiao Palace.
Ling Wudao's Future Self was far too terrifying. He actually sent me back without me noticing at all. With such divine abilities, he must possess at least Great Dao Realm strength.
Damn it, I never expected Ling Wudao to have such a method. Someone with such means cannot possibly be an ordinary human. Could he be Pangu's reincarnation?
No, that is impossible. Even Pangu did not possess such methods.
No matter who you are, do not think you can stop this Daoist from controlling the Great Desolation. Once this Daoist discovers your origins, I will erase you from the very root. Then the Great Desolation will still belong to this Daoist.
With that thought, Hongjun sat cross-legged, summoned the Creation Jade Plate, and began making deductions.
At the same time, far away at Shouyang Mountain, Black Robe Ling Wudao sensed that Hongjun was actually attempting to deduce him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
You dare deduce me, Hongjun? You truly refuse to give up!
Since you insist on seeking trouble, I'll give you a small punishment.
Inside Zixiao Palace, Hongjun had only just entered his deductive state when a majestic figure suddenly appeared within his sea of consciousness.
"An ant dares peer upon me? Get lost!"
The moment those words were spoken, Hongjun's sea of consciousness exploded. He immediately opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
How is this possible? Everything about Ling Wudao is impossible to investigate or deduce. Who exactly is he? Why is he so mysterious? Damn it!
It seems that if I wish to deal with him, I can only find another way. For now, I should recover from my injuries first.
Thinking this, Hongjun closed his eyes and began healing his injuries.
Meanwhile, after Black Robe Ling Wudao finished teaching Hongjun a lesson, he immediately looked toward Taiqing and Yuanshi. "You two aided the Demon Race in slaughtering the human race, so I will kill you once as a lesson. If you dare scheme against the human race again in the future, I will return."
Black Robe Ling Wudao glared, and an incomparably majestic power enveloped the two of them.
Then, BOOM!
Two explosions rang out as Taiqing and Yuanshi's physical bodies were crushed apart by that majestic power.
As their physical bodies shattered, golden blood rained down upon the earth, immediately restoring vitality to the land that had been ravaged.
