I Can Negotiate Too, I Can Love the Primordial World Too!

Beneath a pavilion on Penglai Island.

Li Yi raised his cup and took a sip of Dao tea, a faint sneer appearing on his face as well.

In truth, before Hongjun arrived, he had already guessed that this day would come.

After all, according to the events of the Primordial World as he understood them, Qiankun, Yang Mei, and Yin Yang were all destined to break this formation.

Of course, only Yang Mei and Hongjun survived in the end. Qiankun and Yin-Yang Daoist both became stepping stones on Hongjun's path to enlightenment.

Earlier, he had considered sealing off the island and never emerging, thereby avoiding this calamity.

But after formally meeting Hongjun today, he had completely made up his mind.

No. This Dao Ancestor Hongjun was by no means a benevolent man!

The enemy emerging this time was Demon Ancestor Luohou, a Peak Quasi-Saint wielding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the God-Slaying Spear! Such an existence was certainly difficult to deal with, but with his current strength, he might not be without a chance to handle him!

But if he avoided this calamity and waited until Hongjun became a Saint, then he, a Chaos Demon God, would truly be at Hongjun's mercy.

Not to mention anything else, after Hongjun attained the Dao, even Yang Mei, such a good-natured man, had been forced to flee the Primordial World. Let alone him.

One had to know that Chaos Demon Gods were not bound by the Heavenly Dao and even possessed the potential to surpass it in the future. Once Hongjun became a Saint, the Primordial World would practically become his private territory. How could he tolerate a Chaos Demon God like him remaining in the Primordial World?

If that old Daoist merely drove him from the Primordial World, it would already count as mercy. If Hongjun simply killed him instead, then even if he cultivated to the Peak Quasi-Saint realm, he would be completely unable to fight back.

Since either path led to death, he might as well step into the fray and risk his life by involving himself in this Dao-Devil War. Striving for Merit beneath the Heavenly Dao and walking the same path as Hongjun in the future was his only chance at survival!

In any case, destiny had yet to be decided. If that old Daoist Hongjun could become the Heavenly Dao Representative, why couldn't he, Heaven-Earth Daoist, do the same? He could negotiate too, and he could love the Primordial World too!

Li Yi's pursuit of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation today was also for the sake of his future plans.

Having made up his mind, Li Yi recalled the chill in Hongjun's eyes when he left the island earlier, and a smile curled across his lips.

Heavenly Dao Representative? At worst, there would be two representatives. They would see who could outcompete whom!

At a spiritual vein in the west.

A streak of azure light flashed past, and Li Yi appeared atop a mountain range. Three Daoists were already waiting there.

Li Yi looked over and saw Yang Mei in gray robes, Hongjun in white robes, and Yin-Yang Daoist wearing black-and-white Yin Yang robes.

Seeing Li Yi arrive, Yang Mei was the first to smile and cup his hands slightly toward him.

"Fellow Daoist Qiankun!"

The two had discussed the Dao for many years and shared an excellent relationship.

Li Yi smiled as well, cupping his hands toward Yang Mei and addressing him as Fellow Daoist. He then cupped his hands toward Hongjun in greeting before finally turning to Yin-Yang Daoist.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yin Yang!"

Yin-Yang Daoist wore a Taiji robe. His gaze swept over Li Yi, and a trace of displeasure appeared between his brows.

"This Qiankun's cultivation seems a little lacking. Don't drag the rest of us down!"

Demon Ancestor Luohou had been monstrously powerful in the western lands over the past years. At the Peak Quasi-Saint realm, wielding the God-Slaying Spear, he could be called invincible in the Primordial World! Not to mention the Demon Dao Spirit Treasures he had refined through the Calamity Cycle of the three clans!

Yang Mei was now a Peak Quasi-Saint, while he and Hongjun were both late-stage Quasi-Saints. Yet this Heaven-Earth Daoist was merely a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint?

At first glance, Mid-stage Quasi-Saint and late-stage Quasi-Saint differed by only one minor realm, but a late-stage Quasi-Saint possessed at least twice the mana of a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint!

Li Yi raised a brow. He had never expected Yin-Yang Daoist to look down on him the moment he arrived.

But before he could speak, Hongjun stepped in to smooth things over.

"In this Demon Calamity, Fellow Daoist Qiankun is one of the four most suitable candidates! This is what this old Daoist learned through divining the heavenly secrets!"

Yin-Yang Daoist frowned slightly. He still looked down on Li Yi, but he knew Hongjun's origins. Hongjun likely possessed a supreme treasure related to divination, and he would not joke with their lives.

Since he believed bringing Heaven-Earth Daoist along was acceptable, then it was acceptable!

Besides, Heaven-Earth Daoist had the weakest cultivation and was most likely to catch Luohou's attention! If Luohou attacked him first, he could use their battle to observe Luohou's methods, making it easier to deal with him afterward!

Having made up his mind, Yin-Yang Daoist looked at Hongjun and nodded.

"Fine! But once the battle begins, I will not help him!"

Seeing Yin-Yang Daoist's arrogant appearance, Li Yi felt inexplicably at peace. His thoughts overlapped with those of Hongjun from the past.

Why argue with a dead man?

Seeing Yin-Yang Daoist agree, Hongjun relaxed. Without hesitation, he explained his arrangements to the three of them. Then all four transformed into streams of light and shot toward a towering peak billions of miles high in the Far Western Lands.

At the same time, inside an ancient, dark mountain hall atop a peak in the Far Western Lands, Demon Ancestor Luohou opened his eyes. A trace of bloody baleful energy flickered within them, and a smile rose at the corner of his lips.

"My chance to attain the Dao has arrived!"

In this Dao-Devil War, the will of the Heavenly Dao currently favored the righteous path. Yet as slaughter continued, the Heavenly Dao would gradually favor the Demon Dao as well! If he attained the Primordial Unity Great Firmament Dao, then the Primordial World would completely evolve into a land of bloodshed and the Demon Dao in the future!

The righteous path's greatest resistance would arrive today. If he failed to overcome it, he would inevitably die and his Demon Dao would perish. But if he overcame it, he would attain the Primordial Unity Great Firmament Dao today!

Just as he sensed it, the sounds of slaughter erupted outside the hall! The cultivators Hongjun had gathered had already charged up Demon Mountain.

At the same time, several furious shouts rang out from the sky.

"My name is Hongjun. I have come today to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. After this battle, there shall be no demons in the Primordial World!"

"My name is Qiankun. I have come today to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. After this battle, there shall be no demons in the Primordial World!"

Hearing the four voices in the sky, all belonging to Primordial Unity Supreme Immortals, Luohou revealed a delighted smile. A formation diagram rose behind him.

Rumble!

The heavens and earth of the Primordial World shook. Earth, wind, water, and fire raged across the skies, while the air above the enormous Demon Mountain completely transformed into an unparalleled killing formation saturated with bloody baleful energy!

Violent killing intent surged into the heavens. Whether righteous cultivators or Demon Sect cultivators, everyone on Demon Mountain was caught in its reach!

Those below the Great Firmament realm instantly turned into a rain of blood, merging into the unparalleled killing formation and adding even more bloody baleful energy to it.

Even Great Firmament Golden Immortals were badly frightened by this sight. One after another, they activated their magical treasures in an attempt to flee. But although the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was not aimed at them, it had completely sealed off the surrounding space, cutting off every path of retreat!

At the same time, as soon as the killing formation was deployed, Li Yi, Yang Mei, and the other four, who had been gathered together moments before, were all separated.

Looking at the killing formation around him, Yin-Yang Daoist felt a warning rise in his heart. But when he thought of Li Yi, the pressure in his heart eased somewhat.

With Heaven-Earth Daoist at the bottom, no matter what happened, he would not be the first to face the calamity!

As if confirming Yin-Yang Daoist's thoughts, a furious roar rang out from within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation the next moment.

"Qiankun, you thieving Daoist! You actually dared to deliver yourself to my doorstep? Today will be your death calamity!"
