Chapter 41: The Dream of Primordial Purple Qi Shatters, Zhen Yuanzi Angrily Storms the Southern Heavenly Gate
Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng joined forces, forcing Hong Yun to self-destruct and perish. The three were also severely injured by Hong Yun's self-destruction. Just as the three were struggling to fight for the Primordial Purple Qi left behind by Hong Yun, Ming He, who had been silently watching the show, came out to reap the rewards.
Of course, Di Jun and the other two couldn't just stand by and watch Styx snatch the Primordial Purple Qi, so they joined forces to attack Styx.
Facing the three weakened enemies, Styx disregarded them and casually blocked the attack of Di Jun and his companions with the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. He then swung Yuan Tu and A Bi to knock Di Jun and his companions away, further injuring them. Just as Styx was about to step forward to collect the Primordial Purple Qi, the Ten Demon Saints of the Demon Clan descended from the sky and blocked Styx's path.
After Hongyun's death, the secrets of heaven that had been obscured by Zhunti became clear again. Now all the great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world know that it was Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng who besieged and killed Hongyun. The Ten Great Demon Saints also arrived from the Thirty-Three Heavens at this time.
"Ten Demon Saints, listen to my command! Block Styx for me!" Upon seeing the arrival of the Ten Demon Saints, Di Jun hurriedly ordered them to block Styx. Although the Ten Demon Saints were all at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the strongest of them was only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for Styx. However, their numbers were there, so even if they couldn't defeat him, they could buy him some time. This amount of time was enough for Di Jun to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi.
"Yes, Demon Emperor!" the ten Demon Saints replied, then lined up to block Styx's path.
Seeing this, Styx frowned. He was confident that he could defeat the ten demon saints, and given enough time, he could even kill them all. However, by the time he defeated the ten demon saints, Dijun would have already fled with the Primordial Purple Qi.
Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, the Primordial Purple Qi, which had been suspended in the air, was drawn away by a great force and flew towards the heavens. Emperor Jun and the others were shocked to see this and quickly took to the air to chase after the Primordial Purple Qi. However, the Primordial Purple Qi was extremely fast, and they could not catch up at all. They could only watch helplessly as the Primordial Purple Qi disappeared into the primordial world, its whereabouts unknown.
With the Primordial Purple Qi gone, the crowd naturally lost their will to continue fighting. Di Jun glared angrily at Styx. If Styx hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have definitely gotten his hands on the Primordial Purple Qi. Kunpeng couldn't have snatched it from him and Taiyi together. It was all because of Styx. He would settle this score with him sooner or later.
"Let's go back to the Thirty-Third Heaven!" Di Jun ordered a retreat. Now that the Primordial Purple Qi was gone, there was no point in lingering any longer. Moreover, since the great battle at Buzhou Mountain, Xuan Chu and Hong Jun had agreed that the Demon Clan would rule the heavens and the Witch Clan would rule the earth. Now that he was seriously injured, it was uncertain whether he could return to the Thirty-Third Heaven if the Twelve Ancestral Witches suddenly appeared.
Di Jun took Tai Yi and the Ten Demon Saints back to the Thirty-Third Heaven, while Kunpeng returned to his lair in the Northern Sea. This time, it could be said that he had offended Di Jun and Tai Yi to death. If he followed them back to the Thirty-Third Heaven, who knew how Di Jun would deal with him? It was better to run away first.
After the demons left, Styx showed no intention of staying any longer, making it all for naught.
Bu Zhou Shan
Upon learning that Di Jun had led the demon race back to the Thirty-Third Heaven, Di Jiang and the others felt deeply regretful. This was a golden opportunity! Di Jun and Tai Yi were seriously injured, and the Ten Demon Saints were no match for the Twelve Ancestral Witches. If the Witch Clan were willing to take action, they could easily keep Di Jun and the others there. Unfortunately, Hou Tu refused to agree no matter what, and even took out Xuan Chu's Hunyuan Sword when she was pushed to the limit, which left the Eleven Ancestral Witches feeling helpless.
"Sister Houtu, what are you thinking? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Time Ancestral Witch Zhujiuyin said to Houtu with a helpless expression. He just didn't understand what Houtu was afraid of.
Houtu patiently said, "Brothers and sisters, I know you all want to destroy the demon race, but this time, although it seems like a good opportunity, it's not. Uncle said that the demon race is supported by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun to fight against our Wu race. Do you think the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun will just watch us kill Dijun and Taiyi? Besides, the demon race also has Nuwa, and Hongjun might also intervene. Now that Uncle is not here, if Hongjun makes a move, what will we use to resist?"
Compared to the eleven ancestral witches' eagerness for quick results, Houtu was much more clear-headed. With Xuan Chu gone, the witch clan had no one who could contend with Hongjun. If Hongjun were to take action, even the phantom of Pangu would be of no use. So why bother?
The eleven Ancestral Witches deeply agreed with Houtu's words, but they still felt it was a pity. However, they also let it go, because without Xuan Chu, they would not have been able to deal with Hongjun at all.
Longevity Hill and Wuzhuang Temple
In the instant of his enlightenment, Zhen Yuanzi burst into tears. He already knew that Hongyun had died and his cultivation had vanished. So he rushed to the place where Hongyun had died, intending to kill Dijun, Taiyi, and Kunpeng to avenge Hongyun. But when Zhen Yuanzi was halfway there, Dijun and the others had already returned to the Thirty-Third Heaven.
At this moment, a branch of the ginseng fruit tree that Zhen Yuanzi had given to Hongyun, along with Hongyun's spiritual treasure, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd, appeared before Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi gently stroked his old friend's keepsake, overwhelmed with grief. He looked up at the sky, his gaze drifting towards the Thirty-Three Heavens above the clouds, and said through gritted teeth, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, rest assured, this humble Daoist will definitely seek justice for you." With that, he soared into the air and headed straight for the Thirty-Three Heavens.
After returning to the Thirty-Third Heaven, Di Jun and Tai Yi immediately sent someone to invite Fu Xi. Since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, Fu Xi had always stayed at Phoenix Perch Mountain and never participated in the affairs of the Heavenly Court. Di Jun and Tai Yi were happy to see this happen, after all, Nuwa was behind Fu Xi. If Fu Xi was determined to seize the power of the demon race from them, Di Jun could not guarantee that he could still keep his throne as the Demon Emperor and Heavenly Emperor.
However, both Di Jun and Tai Yi are now seriously injured, leaving only the Ten Demon Saints in the Heavenly Court to hold the fort. The strongest of the Ten Demon Saints is only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. What if the Wu Clan takes advantage of the situation? Therefore, Di Jun had no choice but to invite Fuxi, who is in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, to sit in the Heavenly Court. Even if the Wu Clan attacks and Fuxi is no match for him, he can ask Nuwa to take action.
Fuxi sat in his Xihuang Palace, handling the affairs of the Heavenly Court in an orderly manner. At this moment, a loud noise came from outside the South Heavenly Gate. Fuxi was shocked and hurriedly went to the South Heavenly Gate.
Upon arriving at the South Heavenly Gate, they found the Ten Demon Saints struggling against Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi held the Earth Book above his head and the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd of Red Clouds in his hand, emitting a sky full of red sand. Faced with the enraged Zhen Yuanzi, the Ten Demon Saints could only barely hold on.
"Ten Demon Saints, step back, let me handle this!" The Ten Demon Saints are the backbone of the demon race. Losing even one of them would cause the demon race to suffer a major loss. Therefore, Fuxi dared not gamble and had no choice but to ask the Ten Demon Saints to step back, while he personally dealt with Zhen Yuanzi.
Upon hearing Fuxi's voice, the Ten Demon Saints felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly broke away from their battle with Zhen Yuanzi. Soon, Fuxi played the Fuxi Qin, dispelling the red sand that filled the sky, and came to Zhen Yuanzi's side.
"Zhen Yuanzi, my demon race has no enmity with you. What is your intention in attacking the Southern Heavenly Gate today?" Fuxi said, looking at Zhen Yuanzi.
"Hmph! Fuxi, look at what I'm holding in my hand! Do you still dare to say that your demon race has no enmity with me?" Zhen Yuanzi said to Fuxi, raising the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Fuxi understood that Zhen Yuanzi had come to avenge Hongyun. He had known for a long time that Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were close friends, but he never expected that Zhen Yuanzi would dare to fight up to the Thirty-Three Heavens for Hongyun.
