Chapter 161 Hongjun's Contingency Plan
With the fall of the Five Elements Ancestor, the Five Elements Pagoda, the Five Elements Sword, and the World-Destroying Millstone, all innate treasures, floated in the air after losing their masters. Then, with a sudden flash, the Five Elements Pagoda and the Five Elements Sword flew rapidly out of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, only to be blocked by the formation.
The Great Millstone of Annihilation hesitated slightly before automatically flying into Rahu's hand, demonstrating that a supreme treasure chooses its master.
"The Five Elements have fallen."
Yuan Feng, Shi Qilin, and other powerful beings such as Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuangui looked at the complete disappearance of the Five Elements Ancestor's divine and demonic true form, as well as the two treasures that flew away, and their feelings were extremely complicated.
As the most powerful beings in the primordial world, the Five Elements, Yin Yang, Yang Mei, Qian Kun, and Hong Jun were not to be provoked even during the heyday of the three primordial races. In fact, they were given the utmost respect, and no fighting was allowed within a trillion kilometers of their territories.
But now, the Five Elements Ancestor has actually perished.
"Doesn't Heaven's will prevail?"
"The First Qilin couldn't help but say."
"Hmph, the Way of Heaven?"
Yuan Feng sneered; she had already seen through part of the truth.
The three primordial races are in such dire straits, could it really be Rahu's scheme? The Heavenly Dao probably played the biggest role in this, otherwise Rahu, though he might be able to influence primordial beings, could never influence the minds of primordial gods and demons.
Rumble
After the Five Elements Ancestors perished, the target of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation fell to the Yin Yang Ancestors.
However, with the Taiji Diagram atop the Yin-Yang Ancestor, the defensive power of this supreme treasure was extremely terrifying, and even the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation could not break through it.
After several consecutive attacks, they found that they could not break through the Tai Chi diagram's defense, so they turned their attention to Xu Qiankun.
The sword light descended from above, causing the Qiankun Cauldron to tremble slightly and emit a bright green light, blocking the sword light.
However, while the defensive power of the Qiankun Cauldron is not bad, it is far inferior to that of the Taiji Diagram.
After dozens of attacks, the defensive shield was finally broken, and the sword light fell on Xu Qiankun's true form.
This divine and demonic true form collapsed directly, transforming into boundless energy that merged into the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, becoming its nourishment.
"Even the universe has fallen."
Yuan Feng, Shi Qilin, and other powerful figures were even more horrified when they saw this scene.
After Xu Qiankun's fall, all the treasures, including the Qiankun Cauldron, the Void-Piercing Spear, the Heavenly Array Divine Palace, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, and the Blood Sea Flag, flew into the air, attempting to escape the array space and wait for a destined person.
The gods and demons merely glanced at it and showed no intention of fighting over it.
If they win the great battle, these treasures will naturally become part of their foundation.
If we lose, these treasures will be useless, because innate spiritual treasures cannot be used directly after being obtained; they need to be refined first.
What the gods and demons didn't notice was that the Qiankun Cauldron was flying towards the Five Elements Pagoda and the Five Elements Sword.
Without a sound, the Five Elements Pagoda and the Five Elements Sword disappeared, leaving only a few treasures such as the Qiankun Cauldron and the Sky-Piercing Spear flying aimlessly in the sky.
Outside the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, Xu Qiankun's other clone hid in the deep space, calmly looking down at the massive formation covering an area of trillions of miles.
"This Immortal Slaughtering Formation is clearly not something Rahu could have created."
"That damned Heavenly Dao, it's not even putting on an act anymore, is it?"
Having learned the general outline of what would happen in the future, Xu Qiankun had already guessed the truth.
If we compare Pangu to the founder, sole shareholder, and chairman of a company, then the Heavenly Dao is the company's administrator.
Now that the founder has passed away, the administrator wants to take over the company, so naturally he has to eliminate the descendants left behind by the former chairman.
The first group to be eliminated is the three innate races.
The second group to be eliminated are the demon race and the witch race.
The Wu tribe was formed from the essence and blood of Pangu, and belonged to the direct bloodline of Pangu. Although the origins of the demon tribe were varied, most of them were related to Pangu. Among the four emperors of the demon tribe, Dijun and Taiyi were conceived from Pangu's left eye, Fuxi and Nuwa were conceived from Pangu's spine, and the demon queens Xihe and Changxi were conceived from Pangu's right eye.
These four are definitely no less close to Pangu by blood than the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
The two sides fought a great battle, constantly eroding their own fortune until their fortunes declined, at which point they either had to withdraw from the primordial stage or perish completely.
The third thing is to deal with the Three Pure Ones.
The Three Pure Ones are the transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit, and can be said to be Pangu's true direct descendants. Not only do they possess the merits of creating the world, but as long as they cultivate in peace, it will not be too difficult for them to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan.
The first step was to cut off their escape route, forcing them to cultivate the method of severing the three corpses and become saints. The second step was to sow discord among the Three Pure Ones, causing them to become disloyal and alienated. The third step was to weaken the Three Pure Ones' lineage, through the Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West.
The ruthlessness of Heaven's will has exceeded Xu Qiankun's imagination.
His target is not only the three primordial races and the descendants of Pangu, but also primordial gods and demons who have the opportunity to attain the Dao of Hunyuan.
Wu Xing, Yin Yang, Yang Mei, and Xu Qiankun—the four of them all intend to follow the path of attaining the Primordial Chaos.
From the very beginning, Luo Hou and Hong Jun wanted to seize power over the primordial world and become the rulers of this world.
Their treatment was naturally quite the opposite.
Hongjun and Luohou competed with each other, unaffected by the calamity energy, while Xu Qiankun and other innate gods and demons became objects that the Heavenly Dao had to eliminate.
"However, even if you are the Heavenly Dao, you cannot act recklessly."
Xu Qiankun looked up at the dim sky and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
At the same time, outside the Five Elements Ancestor's Five Elements Innate Formation, an old man dressed in a green robe, leaning on a cane, and looking kind and benevolent arrived.
The old man pointed his cane forward, and the innate formation, which was powerful enough to withstand a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal for a moment, shattered instantly.
"Who dares to trespass on my ancestral temple?"
The formation shattered, and five Daoist disciples quickly appeared around him.
Xu Qiankun had lived here for tens of thousands of years, so he naturally recognized these five young Taoist disciples.
"You've already reached the Great Luo Realm, that's truly impressive. Fellow Daoist Five Elements has a worthy successor."
Xu Qiankun nodded in satisfaction. Although these five children were all enlightened by the Five Elements Ancestor, their essence was that of the Five Elements Ancestor's original body, the Five Elements Pine, which was a second-generation spiritual root. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were his offspring.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to raise their cultivation to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in just a few thousand yuan. This is a genuine Great Luo Golden Immortal, not a fake one who was raised by merit.
"Who are you, senior?"
A young Taoist priest looked at Xu Qiankun with a solemn expression and asked.
Xu Qiankun did not answer, but instead sealed the five Daoist children with the Great Dao of the Origin of Life. Then he took out a spatial treasure shaped like a bead and put them inside.
Xu Qiankun then quickly searched the Five Elements Ancestor's formation space and entered the secret realm space.
The Five Elements Ancestor has four avatars who travel around all year round, and the treasures he has obtained are far more than those of Xu Qiankun. In this secret realm, there are hundreds of innate spiritual roots, among which the most precious is naturally the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Peach Ancestral Root.
"Put them all away."
Xu Qiankun used the Great Dao of the Origin of Life to collect all the spiritual roots into the pearl treasure without any damage.
Then the bead disappeared instantly.
In the Swallowed Star World, in the Cosmic Sea, Xu Qiankun, the human avatar who had long since left the Cosmic Sea and arrived here, suddenly found a bead in his hand.
Buzz
The moment this bead appeared, it was as if something terrifying in the cosmic sea had been awakened.
However, before he could wake up, the bead in Xu Qiankun's hand disappeared and appeared in the Qiankun Great World outside the Primordial Continent.
"Haha, it really works!"
Feeling the dissipation of the supreme rules, Xu Qiankun's face lit up with joy. He could use this method to transfer the treasures he obtained from the prehistoric world in the future.
His true form could remain in the chaos forever, no longer under the control of the Heavenly Dao.
In the vast world of Qiankun, Xu Qiankun held the precious pearl in his hand and first planted the ancestral root of the peach in a huge garden that He had specially created.
Then the seals on the five children were broken.
The seal was broken, and the five children all showed a wary look on their faces. However, when they saw that it was Xu Qiankun, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Ancestor."
"Hmm," Xu Qiankun nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoists of the Five Elements have perished in the calamity. Although you were His enlightened disciples, you share the same origin as Him and can be considered His offspring. From now on, live well in my great world. If you wish to return to the Primordial World after the calamity, I can send you back."
"Yes, thank you, Elder Ancestor."
The five children quickly expressed their gratitude, but a look of sadness appeared in their eyes.
The fall of the Five Elements Ancestors was a huge blow to them.
......
While Xu Qiankun was cleaning up the mess, within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, with the fall of Xu Qiankun and the Five Elements Ancestor, Hongjun's forces suffered extremely severe damage.
Taotie and Taowu then attacked the other gods and demons.
Yin Yang, Yang Mei, and Yuan Feng are under increasing pressure.
"Balance, you're going to lose."
Luo Hou looked at Hongjun excitedly and said.
"Hmph, fellow Daoist, do you perhaps think that only you have the ability to create clones?" Hongjun remained completely unperturbed.
Suddenly, a Taoist named Hongjun emerged from His body, followed by a second and a third.
There are three Hongjuns, which together with the original body make four. Each of them has an equally profound and powerful aura. They are the three corpses of good, evil and self that Hongjun created by severing the three corpses.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist."
The Three Corpses of Hongjun paid their respects to the true form of Hongjun.
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities," Hongjun nodded slightly. "I hope you will all help me to slay this demon."
"That's how it should be."
The four Hongjuns instantly attacked and surrounded and killed Luo Hou.
