"This Immeasurable Tribulation has been a resounding success!"
Seeing Son Goku and the others arrive, the Sect Master Tongtian stroked his beard and laughed heartily, very satisfied with the gains from this Immeasurable Tribulation.
This Immeasurable Tribulation gave rise to a total of six Heavenly Dao Realm experts.
Besides Wutian and the four brothers Son Goku, Purple Clouds, who had merged the Three Lamps of Heaven, Earth, and Man, also broke through to the Heavenly Dao Realm.
This is much better than the last Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation.
"Now that we're here, let's get ready!"
Wang Hao glanced at the six people who had arrived, including Son Goku, nodded slightly, and transmitted a formation diagram into Son Goku minds. This was what they needed to do next.
" The Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Intent Grand Formation?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Wutian looked at Houtu. He had heard of the Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Intent Grand Formation of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the formation that Wang Hao had given him was very similar to the legendary Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Intent Grand Formation the Witch Clan, but it was much more intricate. There were some parts that even he found difficult to fully comprehend.
Clearly, this formation involves the mysteries of the Great Dao Realm.
Although there were some parts that they couldn't fully comprehend, everyone's cultivation was profound. Even the weakest one, Purple Clouds, had the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Realm Late Stage, so setting up the formation was not difficult.
Wutian and the others suppressed their doubts and formed a circle with Wang Hao and the others to set up this enhanced version of the Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Intent Grand Formation.
However, to Wutian and the others' surprise, the one leading the formation was not Wang Hao, who was the strongest, but Houtu.
Houtu's body was surrounded by Primordial Chaos Qi. With the help of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, she activated the hidden power within the Primordial Chaos Qi, which in turn fed back and pushed the power of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation to its peak.
In an instant, everyone's consciousness was pulled into a narrow, mysterious space, and then traversed through a tunnel of flowing light, heading towards an unknown place.
"Time and space!"
Having mastered the art of time and space, Son Goku Wukong immediately sensed a strong power of time and space within the flowing light tunnel. Clearly, this was a time tunnel leading to a point in the past.
Soon, the group encountered a space-time barrier, which was the Immeasurable Tribulation they had experienced before.
Fortunately, the Primordial Xuanhuang Qi enveloping everyone seemed to have the ability to conceal heavenly secrets, allowing them to safely traverse the transverse space-time of the Great Immeasurable Tribulation and avoid being detected by certain beings.
Then came the trans-temporal calamity of Journey to the West Immeasurable Tribulation, followed by the Investiture of the Gods Immeasurable Tribulation, the Witch-Demon Tribulation, the Dragon-Han Tribulation, and finally the very first Heaven-Opening Great Tribulation!
As everyone emerged from the time tunnel, the first thing they saw was an endless, towering giant; the limit of their vision was only its ankles.
The rest can only be vaguely sensed through Divine Sense.
Is this the end of the line?
Seeing the Primordial Chaos Space transform into two clusters of Primordial Chaos Qi and Primordial Chaos Qi, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat unwilling.
That's right, their biggest problem right now is that they can't figure out Hongjun's true intentions, so they need to find someone who might know the whole truth.
This idea came from the plot in the Naruto World where Orochimaru revived the previous Hokage with Sasuke, so Wang Hao had always wanted to do something similar.
The only one in the Primordial World most likely to know the secrets within is the truly fallen Great God Pangu, and they must find Great God Pangu's true form.
So he thought of reversing time, which would have required hundreds of millions of years of preparation, but the appearance of the Primordial Primal Yang Ruler saved them a lot of trouble.
The Primordial Primal Yang Ruler alone is nothing special; it is only after merging with the Xuanhuang Merit Exquisite Pagoda that it generates a profound power that surpasses the Heavenly Dao Realm and even the Great Dao Realm, enough to conceal the secrets of Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness.
This solved the biggest problem of how they could travel through time and space without being detected by Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao. Then, based on the secrets they had gleaned from the ancient stars, they combined the Twelve Heavenly Gods Baleful Intent Grand Formation -protecting formation of the Witch Clan, and finally completed all the preparations for traveling through time and space.
However, both the Primordial Primal Yang Ruler and the Xuanhuang Merit Exquisite Pagoda were born at the end of the Heaven-Opening Great Tribulation. At this point, the Great God Pangu was already in a state of exhaustion and was not capable of defying fate. Therefore, in the end, they had to rely on themselves to stop the schemes of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
As if sensing the presence of Wang Hao and the others, a vast and mighty force pulled them into the air at high speed, and in the blink of an eye they arrived above a cloud. In front of them was a head that was larger than they could imagine, which was the head of the Great God Pangu.
"Welcome to the future generations!"
A gentle yet resonant voice echoed in everyone's minds; it was the Great God Pangu greeting them.
"Father God!"
Houtu was the first to cry out in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. This was the first time she had seen Father God Pangu who Creation her, since she was born.
"My bloodline!"
Houtu's address of "Father God" startled Pangu, who then realized that this was his Houyi.
This is unavoidable. Houtu's current body was forged from Xuanhuang Qi and Primordial Qi, and she no longer has the bloodline of the Witch Clan, which is why the Great God Pangu did not sense it.
Of course, this was also Great God Pangu was in such a terrible state at the moment that even the phrase "exhausted and dying" was insufficient to describe it.
"My time is running out, so please ask me any questions you may have."
Knowing that he had reached his limit and could collapse and perish at any moment, the Great God Pangu could only urge Wang Hao and the others to ask him questions as soon as possible so that he could provide answers.
" Great God Pangu, is Hongjun an invader from outside our Chaos World?"
Knowing that time was of the essence, Wang Hao quickly asked the most important question.
Their time is truly pressing. Currently, it is only because the Great God Pangu is suppressing things that Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao dare not show themselves at this point in time. Once the Great God Pangu falls, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao will surely come to investigate.
They will then have nowhere to hide, so we must hurry.
"Indeed, there is an outsider hiding in the shadows in this Chaos World of ours, who was born even earlier than me. The Jade Disc of Creation that I once wielded was a treasure deliberately left behind by that outsider, with the aim of collecting the Dao Fruit of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods and myself."
Although the Great God Pangu Wang Hao not know who Hongjun was, since the name Hongjun did not exist at this time, he did know that there were indeed outsiders in their Chaos World.
"In the starry sky, are the ancient stars you suppressed a passage to other Chaos World?"
Wang Hao asked again. Although he had not been able to find out what was being suppressed in the Primordial Starry Sky, he had made some guesses. The most likely possibility was that the mysterious Daoist formations in the Primordial Starry Sky were suppressing the passages to other Chaos World.
Since it has been confirmed that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is a transmigrator from another world, there must be a passage connecting the two worlds. It's impossible that Dao Ancestor Hongjun just suddenly appeared!
If this conjecture is confirmed, then Wang Hao will roughly understand what is going on regarding the Infinite Immeasurable Tribulation.
"Yes, not long ago the other party wanted to open a permanent passage, but I stopped them and they are now sealed in the starry sky."
Can you ask one last question?
Is there a higher realm beyond the Great Dao?
Seeing that the aura of the Great God Pangu had weakened considerably again, Wang Hao quickly asked again.
"Yes, that is the origin of everything, which I call the Dao Realm, and it is also the opponent's goal!"
After saying this, the Great God Pangu stretched out his palm and sealed Wang Hao and the others within the Primordial Qi. Then, he drew out Issei of Heaven-Opening Creation Merit and refined it into a ruler, which was the Primordial Primal Yang Ruler.
That wasn't all. The Great God Pangu absorbed the Primordial Primal Yang Ruler into his body, created a special space called Yin Ruins, and sealed his own Dao Fruit inside, allowing Wang Hao and the others to comprehend it.
This was the last thing he could do!
After all, his death was inevitable, and doing too much would only interfere with Wang Hao and the others. Answering those few questions was already the limit.
Fortunately, the younger colleague was smart enough not to ask any overly sensitive questions, otherwise he would have been at a loss for words.
As predicted in the course of fate, the Great God Pangu perished. The Primordial World Heavenly Mandate and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally dared to reveal themselves in the Primordial World. After investigating countless times to confirm that there was nothing amiss, they disappeared again.
Meanwhile, in the Yin Ruins Space personally created by the Great God Pangu, Wang Hao and the others were fully focused on comprehending the Dao Fruit of the Great God Pangu.
This is not the incomplete Dao Fruit of the Chaos Demon Ape that Son Goku obtained, but a flawless Dao Fruit, containing all the inherited insights of the Great God Pangu, as well as the most important method for advancing to the Great Dao Realm and the understanding of the final Dao Realm.
The Dao Realm is a realm that transcends the Great Dao Realm. It is the origin of everything, the source of this Chaos World, and the ultimate goal of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, a transmigrator from another world.
Breaking through to the Dao Realm is extremely difficult. Even the mighty Great God Pangu only took a half-step into the Dao Realm before his death. At this point in time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun should not be as good as Great God Pangu, but he must be at the Great Dao Realm Peak.
However, judging from the tone of the Great God Pangu, it seems that he used some means to severely injure Hongjun at this point in time, which may be the reason why Dao Ancestor Hongjun chose to rebuild his cultivation at a later point in time.
Although they desperately wanted to take this opportunity to destroy Dao Ancestor Hongjun, such an existence would inevitably leave behind powerful contingency plans, and with their current strength, the chances of success were extremely slim.
"Back then, I actually fought a Great God Pangu to a standstill, and both of us were severely injured!"
While the others were heavy-hearted, Wutian was quite excited.
In the final battle at the end of the Dragon-Han Tribulation, he truly severely injured Dao Ancestor Hongjun, even forcibly obliterating the opponent's Dao body and origin.
After all, that was his all-out attack, which also involved the spiritual veins of the entire Western Regions of the Primordial World. Obviously, Hongjun at the time certainly did not expect him to make such a crazy move, and was thus injured because he was caught off guard.
Wutian's thoughts were correct. Back then, Dao Ancestor Hongjun was indeed severely tricked. It was precisely because of that injury that he had no choice but to embark on the path of merging with the Dao, using the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness to repair and heal his injuries.
At the same time, thanks to Wutian's desperate attack, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had to change his plans back then. Otherwise, before Wang Hao could even cross over, the Primordial World and even the entire Chaos World would have been devoured by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Wutian bought them very valuable time!
