Who allowed him to be the slowest to run?

The path of refining erupted across the sky, thunder and fire intertwined, melting everything, obliterating everything, ending all, seeking to bury the life-force of the furious Red Dragon entirely.

In the Primordial era, all Quasi-Saints had great destinies, especially Ling Weiyang and the furious Red Dragon, who had just received the fortunes of the Five Heavenly Emperors. Yet unexpectedly, before they could even enjoy the authority of the Heavenly Emperors, three perished at the hands of Xuanqing.

Such is time! Such is fate!

Only the credentials of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, Southern Heavenly Emperor, and Central Heavenly Emperor remained, transforming into three Great Emperor Seals, scattering amongst the void near Xuanqing.

Of course, the Companion Spirit Treasures of a few individuals, such as Ling Weiyang’s "Swallowing Heaven Pot" and the Red Dragon Staff and Xuanhuang Pearl of the furious Red Dragon and Han Shuniu, were also gathered up by Xuanqing.

Observing this, Xuanqing couldn’t help but sigh: "Indeed, it’s faster to kill people and set fires!"

As for the fleeing Bai Zhaoju and Zhi Xianji, he did not chase them. It was not that he couldn’t catch them, but rather that the matters of the Palace of the Polestar were more pressing.

Both the Turquoise Pool and Nanji were Quasi-Saint mighty beings, and with his own four incarnations and Taiyi True Master trapped in a bizarre array, which goes against common sense – at least in Xuanqing’s view, with Ma Yi’s strength, it would not have been possible to accomplish this in such a short time.

Ma Yi was shrouded in a dark cloud, elusive and hard to grasp.

However, Xuanqing was not unprepared; he had already instructed Jin Ling Saint Mother to be ready to strike the Palace of the Polestar with the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" at any moment.

His Wind Dao incarnation remained in the Ancient Starry Sky, ready to draw upon the Power of Celestial Stars to boost himself if any anomalies arose.

Even if the array was incomplete, in his view, it could still unleash power comparable to a Sub-Saint.

"Waste!"

Inside the Palace of the Polestar, as the Curse Demon God devoured the fortune of the Heavenly Court, he also kept an eye on the Eastern Heavenly Gate. Seeing how quickly Ling Weiyang and others fell to Xuanqing, he couldn’t help but inwardly curse them as trash.

He needed time to devour the Heavenly Court’s fortune; otherwise, he wouldn’t need to have hidden for so long in the body of the great god Ma Yi.

At this moment, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Primordial Golden Immortal, just one step away from regaining his peak and merging with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the foundation of becoming a Saint. Like Hong Jun, to become a Heavenly Dao Saint.

After becoming a Saint, he could slowly erode the Heavenly Dao, devour the Pangu Dao Fruit, and even replace Pangu to become the strongest of the Chaos Demon Gods.

"Hahaha!"

The Curse Demon God could not help but laugh heartily.

The Palace of the Polestar blocked divinations, and with the array he set up, no being had discovered his presence yet - he was on the verge of becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint!

"Stop dreaming!"

The Haotian Primordial Spirit couldn’t help but grit his teeth: "You want to become a Heavenly Dao Saint with just that?"

In truth, he was also somewhat panicked within. Were the Heavenly Dao Saints indifferent, or had even the Daoist Ancestor not detected the Curse Demon God’s scheme?

A sense of despair rose in his heart; if the Curse Demon God became a Heavenly Dao Saint, it would be nothing but bad news for the Primordial world!

"Then just wait and see!"

The Curse Demon God sneered and continued to swallow the fortune belonging to the Heavenly Court. The reason he kept Haotian alive was to use him in negotiations with Hong Jun after proving his Dao, to continue to control the Heavenly Court!

He did not know if Hong Jun would care for Haotian’s life, but keeping him alive for the moment did not affect his plan.

At this moment, Xuanqing had already arrived at the Palace of the Polestar located in the Nine Layers Heaven, only to see that the entire palace was shrouded in the black fog of Chaos.

"So that’s how it is!"

Xuanqing gazed at the forty-eight Heavenly Pillars outside the Palace of the Polestar, and in the center of the pillars, a miniature space of Chaos had evolved. His four incarnations, along with the inhabitants of Turquoise Pool and Nanji, had inadvertently fallen into that space.

For those involved, confusion reigned; for the onlooker, the picture was clear. Since the array had already been triggered, standing outside of it, Xuanqing instantly saw through the reality and illusion of the Chaos Mysterious Formation.

"Devastating Divine Thunder!"

He directly summoned the "Purple Lightning Hammer", combined with the "Innate Thunder Pond", evolved forty-eight thunderbolt attacks, and ferociously bombarded the forty-eight Heavenly Pillars.

Boom!

The terrifying might shook the universe, swept across the void, and the extreme force of destruction erupted in an instant, turning the forty-eight Heavenly Pillars directly into dust.

Nanji, Turquoise Pool, and Taiyi were all faces of confusion. When they saw Xuanqing holding the "Purple Lightning Hammer", a sense of security inexplicably arose in their hearts.

There was no danger within the array, but the participants were lost; caught in the Chaos Mysterious Formation, breaking out of the formation was not an easy task.

"What’s going on?"

Taiyi was just about to ask when the entire Heavenly Court started to shake violently, and in the Palace of the Polestar, a strand of Purple Qi that pierced through the universe rose up.

"This is..."

Xuanqing found it somewhat unbelievable. When Taiching became a Saint, he was by his side, and this was the scene where the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" connected with the Heavenly Dao.

"Impossible!"

Nanji also widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw before him.

"Senior brother, what’s wrong?"

He had not joined the Chan Sect or been in Kunlun when Yuanshi Tianzun became a Saint, so naturally, he did not understand the details of Yuanshi Tianzun’s ascension.

"Someone is becoming a Saint!"

Nanji deeply sighed, "Purple Qi traversing the universe, this is the Primordial Spirit connecting with the Heavenly Dao!"

Boom!

As the words of Nanji Daoist fell, Purple Qi came from the east a billion miles away, the will of Heavenly Dao descended, but that source fluctuation came to a sudden stop.

The aura of a Saint burst forth in an instant, then just as quickly plummeted, as if one foot had stepped into sainthood, slightly stronger than the peak of ordinary Quasi-Saints.

"What’s going on?"

The voice of the Curse Demon God, filled with disbelief, rang out: "Why can’t I ascend to sainthood?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Xuanqing could not help but laugh out loud: "Those two Saints from the Western direction, taking with them the source of the Heavenly Dao, have defected to the Earth Dao camp! How could a Heavenly Dao Saint possibly be born before the Heavenly Dao source is replenished?"

However, laughter aside, the opponent could be treated as a sub-Saint like the Azure Dragon and White Tiger. He immediately left the Palace of the Polestar with Nanji and the others.

Just now, he had confirmed that the aura belonged to the Curse Demon God!

The mountain has been built up nine-tenths of the way, but fell short of completion!

Xuanqing was very clear, the other side must be furious, and if they got too close, they might just become the targets of his venting!

"Die!"

With a wave of the Curse Demon God’s hand, the Palace of the Polestar instantly turned to ash, an aura belonging to a sub-Saint suddenly spread into the cosmic void.

"Jin Ling Senior Sister!"

Witnessing this, Xuanqing immediately let out a loud shout, and the next moment, endless starlight transformed into a deluge that poured down from the Ancient Starry Sky.

Boom!

The Nine Layers Heaven trembled, the body of the Curse Demon God was immediately engulfed by the boundless starlight.
