Taiichi's words continued to ring out.
A look of sudden realization appeared in the eyes of all living beings in the primordial world.
It turns out that Di Jun's physical body collapsed not because he was attacked, but because he was burst apart by the power of a seventh-level Heavenly Saint!
I see.
But in the very next moment...
All living beings in the primordial world turned their gaze toward the Purple Cloud Palace.
If what Taiyi said is true, then it was Hongjun who possessed Dijun's body.
Given Hongjun's nature, he should appear soon...
......
Zixiao Palace.
At the moment when Di Jun's physical body disintegrated.
Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze as dark and gloomy as water.
Success seemed within reach, but ultimately it all fell short.
Even with Hongjun's Dao heart, he almost couldn't withstand this sense of defeat!
Hongjun couldn't help but sink into deep negative emotions...
However, the current situation does not allow Hongjun to do so.
A moment later.
Hongjun forcibly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and his gaze returned to the battlefield, his eyes resolute.
Now that things have come to this...
If they still want to push forward the Lich Cataclysm.
He had no choice but to reveal his true identity...
After their true identities were revealed.
Hongjun then stepped out from behind the scenes to the forefront.
This has significant drawbacks for Hongjun's plan.
But there are also many benefits.
After their true identities were revealed.
Hongjun was not only able to use all his power, but he could also make Dongwanggong "change his mind".
After weighing the pros and cons.
Hongjun finally made a decision.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Hongjun took a step and appeared on the battlefield.
......
The instant Hongjun appeared.
The entire primordial wilderness fell silent.
Uncontrollable gasps of surprise echoed from all corners of the primordial world...
"That's Hongjun! It really is Hongjun!"
"Why would Hongjun, as the Dao Ancestor, want to possess Dijun's body?"
"Could it be that Hongjun has some ulterior motive towards the demon race?"
"......"
A look of astonishment and bewilderment arose in the hearts of all living beings in the primordial world.
It can happen very quickly.
The words Houtu had spoken earlier then came to mind...
"No witchcraft!"
"No demons!"
"Hongjun, this is the final outcome of your scheme to create this great calamity!"
A thought suddenly surged in the minds of all living beings in the primordial world...
Was everything Hongjun did just to push the Lich War to this conclusion?
......
On the battlefield.
Feeling the many gazes falling upon me.
Hongjun's expression remained unchanged as he looked directly at the Eastern King Duke and said indifferently.
"Dong Wang Gong!"
"Your reckless actions have completely ruined my grand plan!"
Do you know your crime?
Hongjun's voice was filled with chilling murderous intent.
If Dongwanggong weren't still useful, Hongjun probably wouldn't have been able to resist killing this "useless" Dongwanggong directly.
Based on Hongjun's understanding of the Eastern King Duke.
After being reprimanded like this, Dongwanggong would surely be so frightened that he would wet himself and kneel down to beg for mercy.
But what Hongjun didn't expect was...
Instead of kneeling and begging for mercy, Dong Wanggong revealed a mocking expression.
Upon seeing this.
Hongjun frowned, a very bad premonition suddenly welling up in his heart.
But before he could think any further,
Suddenly, the indifferent voice of the Eastern King Duke rang in Hongjun's ears...
"Dao Ancestor".
"What crime have I committed?"
What crime did he commit?
Upon hearing Dong Wanggong's reply...
An overwhelming rage surged within Hongjun, and he said coldly.
"You are the head of the male immortals personally appointed by me, and I have also bestowed upon you the [Primordial Purple Qi]."
"Yet you have repeatedly ruined my important plans, and you still don't know your crime?"
He was rebuked by Hongjun in this way.
The Eastern King Duke, however, was not afraid at all and spoke with an air of righteousness.
"Everything I have done is for the peace of the primordial world, and I am worthy of the title of the head of male immortals."
Hongjun: "..."
Hongjun was almost furious with the Eastern King Duke and roared.
"But don't forget, I was the one who bestowed upon you the title of the head of male immortals!"
"Without me, you wouldn't be where you are today."
Upon hearing this...
The Eastern King's eyes turned slightly cold as he spoke with sarcasm.
"Hongjun".
"In your plan, I, as the head of the male immortals, should be cannon fodder to trigger the Lich War, right?"
Hongjun's expression froze, and he was about to speak up and make excuses.
But at that very moment...
The voice of the Eastern King Duke rang out again...
"If I hadn't been able to create the Immortal Realm back then, I would probably have perished long ago."
Do you think I don't know anything?
Hongjun: "..."
In a short time.
Hongjun was speechless after being rebuked by Dongwanggong.
Hongjun never expected that the ambitious but incompetent Dongwanggong would possess such vision and shrewdness.
This is truly unbelievable!
at the same time.
The Eastern King's expression turned serious, and his roar echoed through the sky.
“From that time onwards.”
“I, the Eastern King, am no longer your lackey, Hongjun, but the Lord of the Celestial Court who oversees all living beings in the primordial world.”
"Even if you, Hongjun, cause chaos in the primordial world, I, the Eastern King Duke, will still take care of it!"
The roar of the Eastern King echoed throughout the entire prehistoric world.
......
All living beings in the primordial world trembled violently, their gazes towards the Eastern King Duke filled with astonishment.
Like Hongjun.
Even after the Eastern King Duke established the Celestial Court, his style of doing things changed drastically.
The people of the primordial world did not have a very good impression of the Eastern King.
But now it seems...
They really underestimated this top male immortal!
