Sensing the starkly different reactions of the beings in the primordial world, Hongjun was filled with rage.

Hongjun, however, forgot...

When he regarded all living beings in the primordial world as ants.

How desperate were the beings of the primordial world?

Driven by anger.

Hongjun's refining speed of the [Metal Calamity Fruit] increased several times.

The [Kingdom Fruit] is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

at the same time.

Hongjun's aura continued to rise...

And at a certain moment.

"Buzz!"

The [Kingdom Fruit] slowly disappeared into Hongjun's body.

An aura of a ninth-level Heavenly Saint emanated from Hongjun...

Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze complex, containing both joy and regret.

The joy naturally comes from the breakthrough in cultivation.

Unfortunately, the [Kingdom Fruit] was much weaker than he had imagined.

He not only failed to reach the level of Dao Integration Saint, but he also failed to reach the level of Heavenly Dao Saint Perfection. He only barely reached the ninth level of Heavenly Dao Saint!

"What a pity!"

Hongjun sighed softly, his voice filled with regret.

After the breakthrough.

Hongjun did not immediately leave the mountain, but instead turned his gaze to Haotian inside the Zixiao Palace and said in a deep voice.

"Haotian!"

"Go and summon Laozi, Yuanshi, Zhunti, and Jieyin here."

Haotian, who had been waiting below, immediately nodded in agreement.

"promise!"

After saying that.

Haotian's figure slowly disappeared from the spot...

Upon seeing this.

Hongjun's eyes were somewhat deep.

He has only recently broken through to the next level and needs some time to consolidate his cultivation.

Just at this crucial moment, Lao Tzu and the others were summoned...

After all, the Demon Clan doesn't only have Rahu as a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!

Yuan Feng, Taotie, the Four Great Demon Generals...

The number of beings in the Demon Clan who have attained the Dao is no less than that in the Purple Cloud Palace!

......

Kunlun Mountains.

Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi stood atop the mountain, somewhat silent.

I don't know how much time passed.

The voice of the Primordial Beginning slowly rose...

"Brother."

"Our teacher summoned us to Zixiao Palace; it seems he's preparing for war with the demons!"

"But the teacher is now considered an enemy of the primordial world."

Should we still go and help him?

What should we do?

There was no longer a trace of respect for Hongjun in Yuanshi's words; he was even prepared to disobey his master's orders.

Yuan Shi was extremely concerned with his reputation.

However, after the Lich War, Hongjun had become a being despised by all living beings in the prehistoric world.

As Hongjun's personal disciple, he naturally lost face and had no dignity whatsoever!

As Yuanshi's words continued to resound.

Lao Tzu broke his silence and said in a deep voice.

"The karmic connection between us and our teachers is profound."

"We have no choice but to go to this battle!"

Upon hearing this...

Yuan Shi also fell silent.

As Lao Tzu said.

As Hongjun's direct disciples, they were already karmically connected with him.

This battle was unavoidable for them.

"well!"

Yuanshi sighed softly, subconsciously turning his gaze towards the East Sea, lost in thought.

A moment later.

Two streaks of light shot into the sky from Kunlun Mountain, heading towards Zixiao Palace.

......

Lingshan Grotto Heaven.

Same as Laozi and Yuanshi.

Zhunti and Jieyin were also in a dilemma.

Their situation is even more complicated, as they are spies for the Demon Clan, the Three Heavens Sect, and the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun's summons to Zixiao Palace was clearly to start a war against the Demon Clan.

This put Zhunti and Jieyin in a very awkward position.

I don't know how much time passed.

Zhunti broke the silence first and spoke.

"Senior brother."

What should we do?

Upon hearing this...

Jieyin did not answer immediately, his eyes filled with contemplation.

And at that very moment.

Zhunti and Jieyin shuddered, and simultaneously heard Rahu's voice in their minds...

"Go to Zixiao Palace and cooperate in a play."

It's Luo Tian!

Zhunti and Jieyin felt relieved, exchanged a glance, and then soared into the sky, flying towards Zixiao Palace.

......

Zixiao Palace.

Countless years have passed.

The Purple Cloud Palace became lively once again.

Hongjun sat on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over Laozi, Yuanshi, Zhunti, Jieyin, Haotian, and Yaochi, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

These six Heavenly Saints represent all that he accumulated during the Lich War.

With this thought in mind.

A deep gloom flashed across Hongjun's eyes.

The Primordial Purple Qi has nine paths.

Hongjun could have had nine Heavenly Saints as his subordinates.

But Styx and Kunpeng fell one after another.

The Eastern King even chose to betray them at a crucial moment.

Now, there are only six Heavenly Saints left who can be used by Hongjun!

"snort!"

Hongjun snorted coldly, his eyes filled with a sinister look.

Styx and Kunpeng are one thing.

After dealing with the demons, he will definitely deal with the traitor, Dong Wanggong, as soon as possible.

To serve as a warning to others!

"Buzz!"

His Dao heart trembled slightly.

Hongjun forcibly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and slowly spoke.

"Gentlemen."

"The Lich Wars have passed."

"The oath made between the Demon Race and the Heavenly Dao has been erased."

"The time has come for us to share the burdens of Heaven!"

Speaking of which...

Hongjun's gaze suddenly fell upon the saints below, and he spoke, word by word.

"Are you all willing to join me in conquering the demon race?"
