Chapter 1053: Chapter 1072: One Misstep, Every Step Becomes Perilous
“Where has Pangu’s Primordial Spirit gone?” Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
A big question mark loomed in Ye Xuan’s heart, and in the depths of his spirit, he sensed an overwhelming feeling of threat.
Under the Heavenly Vault and vast earth, all things were within Ye Xuan’s perception, yet he couldn’t detect the whereabouts of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit no matter how he searched.
Boom!
Time and space unfolding, his five fingers rapidly pinching seals, strands of mystical power of space-time surrounded Ye Xuan as he moved his fingers quickly to deduce changes in the future.
“No, Tongtian is in danger!”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s face drastically changed, his voice filled with fury, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
The oversight, he was too careless!
Boom!
With a single step, the heavens and earth transformed into nothingness, Ye Xuan vanished entirely, heading straight toward where Heavenly Sect Master was located.
…
At the same moment.
Heavenly Sect Master stood in the depths of the Taixiao Starry Sky, appearing slightly desolate, constantly emitting continuous sighs from his mouth.
Heavenly Sect Master understood very clearly, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were bound to perish, with no chance of survival whatsoever.
Although Heavenly Sect Master had considerable grievances towards them, they were after all transformations of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, and their passing brought a hint of reluctance to Heavenly Sect Master.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Heavenly Sect Master’s spirit shifted, looking toward the depths of the starry sky, his voice fierce: “What Daoist dares to spy on this Sect Hierarch?”
Boom.
Clad in blue, the resonance of Dao resounded, and Hong Jun Dao Patriarch emerged from the depths of the starry sky, visible in Heavenly Sect Master’s eyes.
“Hong Jun Master?”
Upon seeing the figure clearly, Heavenly Sect Master was startled, and hastily bowed to Hong Jun Dao Patriarch: “Disciple Tongtian bows to Master.”
“Tongtian, do you know your senior and junior brothers have fallen?” Hong Jun Dao Patriarch stated calmly, with a somewhat somber voice.
“This…”
Faced with Hong Jun Dao Patriarch’s interrogation, Heavenly Sect Master felt ashamed, not knowing how to respond.
“The Three Pure Ones share the same root and source, all being transformations of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit. Your senior and junior brothers met their end at Ye Xuan’s hands; do you not wish to avenge them?” Hong Jun Dao Patriarch said solemnly.
“Teacher, please understand, the feud between Laozi and Yuanshi with Ye Xuan was already relentless, and I’m a close friend to Ye Xuan, hence I can only choose not to help either side.” Heavenly Sect Master answered helplessly.
“The Three Pure Ones share glory and loss alike. Since you won’t avenge your brothers, I will make the decision today for all Three Pure Ones to reunite.” Hong Jun Dao Patriarch’s voice turned cold.
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing Hong Jun Dao Patriarch’s words, Heavenly Sect Master hadn’t reacted yet, but in the next moment, his expression drastically changed as he was entirely fixed in the starry sky, his cultivation as a Heavenly Dao Saint utterly frozen.
“Tea… Teacher… What are you doing?” Heavenly Sect Master asked with horror, gazing at Hong Jun with heavy eyes.
“Tongtian disciple, although I do not wish to kill you, this is your fate, and I can only apologize to you.”
Bang!
Hong Jun Dao Patriarch ruthlessly struck a palm; Heavenly Sect Master’s body exploded, transformed into a mist of blood throughout the sky, absolutely dead.
“Hong Jun, how dare you!”
Boom!
The starry sky trembled, the stars shattered, and Ye Xuan crossed the starry sky, his hand like a giant covering the heavens, striking towards Hong Jun Dao Patriarch.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan was still one step too late, and Heavenly Sect Master had already died at Hong Jun’s hand.
“Ye Xuan, you arrived too late.”
Hong Jun Dao Patriarch laughed aloud, instantly vanishing, and a wisp of clear breath also disappeared into the starry sky.
Buzz!
Ye Xuan suddenly appeared at the place where Hong Jun Dao Patriarch was, but Hong Jun Dao Patriarch had already left. In the mist of Heavenly Sect Master’s blood that shattered, a wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords floated within.
Twang! Twang! Twang!
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords mourned, the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram revolved, but their master was gone forever, no longer seen in heaven and earth.
“Damn!”
Ye Xuan shouted in anger, the surrounding starry sky crumbling in terror. He wanted to find Hong Jun Dao Patriarch’s location, but unfortunately, Hong Jun had already merged with the will of the Heavenly Dao, and Ye Xuan couldn’t find his true form.
Unified with the Heavenly Dao, mastering it, although Hong Jun Dao Patriarch wasn’t Ye Xuan’s opponent, he could completely merge with the will of the Heavenly Dao, so Ye Xuan couldn’t find him even with the power of space-time control.
“Tongtian!”
Ye Xuan bellowed in sorrow, his eyes filled with enormous regret. He underestimated Hong Jun; had he kept Tongtian by his side, he wouldn’t have allowed the Sect Master to suffer this dire calamity.
But alas, even with regret, it was useless for Ye Xuan; the events had already transpired, leaving him no chance to amend them.
“Pangu’s Primordial Spirit?”
Ye Xuan gradually calmed himself down, realizing a tremendously severe problem.
Evidently, Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun’s death transformed into two Pangu Primordial Spirits, which certainly fell into Hong Jun Dao Patriarch’s hands, hence he killed Tongtian at the first moment, seizing the last Pangu Primordial Spirit.
Heavenly Dao reigns supreme, all things submit, with Hong Jun unified with the Heavenly Dao controlling the whole Primordial Heaven and Earth, evidently collecting the three Pangu Primordial Spirits with the intent of dealing with him.
“He wants to resurrect the Pangu God?”
Ye Xuan murmured somberly, pondering this terrifying concept.
“Impossible!”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan directly dismissed his assumption.
As known, Pangu God had fallen in the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, truly dead, impossible to resurrect.
Yet a massive question had grown in Ye Xuan’s heart. Why was Hong Jun gathering Pangu Primordial Spirits? What exactly did he intend to do?
“Pangu’s True Body?”
Ye Xuan abruptly realized, his voice resonating with rage, as he swiftly collected Tongtian’s Hongmeng Purple Qi, and carried away the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and Immortal Slaying Array Diagram, vanishing into the starry sky toward Buzhou Mountain in the Lower Realm.
…
Buzhou Mountain, Thirty-Three Layered Heaven.
The vast mountains had already cracked open, the towering peaks collapsed, intertwined Immortal Light filling the sky, as numerous immortals and Demon Kings labored to repair the damaged Buzhou Mountain.
Boom!
Ye Xuan instantly appeared above Buzhou Mountain; upon seeing the fractured land, his aura sank to an extreme depth.
“So it was!” Ye Xuan roared in fury.
Indeed, a single wrong move allowed the opponent to dominate each step, missing an opportunity leaves one continuously behind; Ye Xuan finally understood the meaning of these words.
Pangu’s True Body vanished without a trace, evidently taken by Hong Jun Dao Patriarch, which enraged Ye Xuan to the extreme.
Carelessness, so very careless.
He should have anticipated long ago, the Three Pure Ones being transformations of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, and the Ancient Twelve Ancestor Witches consolidating Pangu’s True Body, there’s an unimaginable connection within.
“Hong Jun, do you plan to resurrect Pangu to kill me?” Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing from their depths.
