Chapter 27 [Red Cloud’s Karmic Response, Failure Comes Within an Inch of Success]

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 [Red Cloud’s Karmic Response, Failure Comes Within an Inch of Success]

Dozens of Great Divine Ability practitioners struck together, and Red Cloud knew he had no chance of escape. Immediately, he activated the Nine-nine Soul Scattering Gourd and targeted Kunpeng, who was closest to him.

The sky-covering "Soul Scattering Sand" gushed forth, turning into several "Evil Qi Long Rivers" that spanned all directions, forcing Kunpeng to bring out the "Demon God Palace" to fend it off.

"Red Cloud, you’re courting death!"

Kunpeng had never imagined that in this desperate situation, Red Cloud would dare to fight back, and the "Sea Covering Divine Saber" immediately revealed its supreme edge.

"Kill!"

Not falling behind, Minghe transformed the Red Lotus Karma Fire into a vast red ocean, driving back the other Great Divine Ability practitioners, while the Yuan Tu and Avici Swords instantly sliced through the void.

Countless Blood God’s Sons emerged in the void, evolving the "Blood River Formation" that pierced through the universe, cutting off Red Cloud’s escape route completely.

Emperor Jun remained unflustered, watching the struggle from the sidelines with composure, but secretly had nearly a hundred Daluo Demon Gods seal off the battlefield.

Clearly, he was determined to seize the "Hongmeng Purple Qi", and would not let anyone take it away from him, no matter who killed Red Cloud.

Faced with this deadly situation, Red Cloud changed from his usual benevolent demeanor, tightly clutching the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and laughed loudly, "I’ll fight you with all I’ve got! Even if I die, I won’t let the Hongmeng Purple Qi fall into your hands!"

"Die!"

At this moment, Red Cloud chose to self-detonate his benevolent and malevolent corpses, unleashing immense power that swept across the universe. The "Demon God Palace" was even blasted millions of miles away.

Kunpeng’s expression turned extremely ugly.

If it were not for the "Demon God Palace" guarding him, he might not have died, but he would have suffered unimaginably grave injuries.

Seizing the momentum, Minghe appeared behind Red Cloud, wielding dual swords with an astonishing murderous intent, determined not to cease until Red Cloud was slain.

"You won’t get away with this either!"

Sensing the unavoidable murderous intent behind him, Red Cloud also hardened his heart and self-detonated his physical body and Primordial Spirit: "Let the Hongmeng Purple Qi go to hell!"

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud boom and a sky filled with blood rain, Red Cloud instantly perished, and the many Great Divine Ability practitioners hurried to snatch the "Hongmeng Purple Qi"!

"Taiyi, stop Minghe!"

Emperor Jun immediately commanded, having Donghuang Taiyi strike and suppress Minghe, while he himself shrouded in boundless Taiyang Fire, flew toward the place where Red Cloud had fallen.

"Damn it!"

Minghe was uncontrollably furious, as Red Cloud’s self-detonation had also inflicted serious wounds on him.

Had it not been for the protection of the "Twelve Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus", he would have had to rely on the Blood God’s Sons to withstand the attack, thus losing the qualification to compete for the "Hongmeng Purple Qi"!

Numerous Great Divine Ability practitioners surged forward, but all were stopped by Donghuang Taiyi. The "Chaos Bell" evolved the Hongmeng Space-Time, and its unrivaled power burst forth in an instant.

"The Hongmeng Purple Qi is mine!"

However, just as Emperor Jun was being smug, a Yin Yang Qi instantly pierced through the vault of heaven, and a strange Great Divine Ability practitioner suddenly appeared from the void.

"Who are you?"

Enraged, Emperor Jun brandished the "Sun and Moon Essence Wheel" and attacked the mysterious Great Divine Ability practitioner.

Kunpeng, with the "Demon God Palace" overhead, returned to the fray, but before he could approach the "Hongmeng Purple Qi", he was intercepted by another unfamiliar Great Divine Ability practitioner.

The person held a Treasure Bead emanating Chaos Qi, and an overwhelming burst of mana instantly erupted, causing Kunpeng to sense a bone-chilling aura.

On the other side, Minghe, having just regrouped, was also blocked by someone wielding a "Top Grade Acquired Spirit Sword".

Meanwhile, Xuanqing from the land of Beiming was quietly observing the sudden turn of events through a Spiritual Treasure known as the "Xuantian Mirror" handed to him by Zhi Ming.

Others might not know who these three mysterious Great Divine Ability practitioners are, but could he be unaware?

The entity wielding the "Yin Yang Dao Fan," engaging Emperor Jun in fierce battle for the "Hongmeng Purple Qi," wasn’t that his mysterious and low-profile grandmaster?

And the one with the "Fuli Primordial Treasure Pearl" atop his head, who struck down the Demon Teacher Kunpeng with a single blow—the Great Divine Ability fellow—wasn’t that his grave and taciturn second grandmaster?

Even Saints can’t help being moved by something like the "Hongmeng Purple Qi." Although The Three Pure Ones have already ascended to sainthood, they wouldn’t mind competing on behalf of their disciples.

If it weren’t for the Yin Yang Qi and Dao patterns of the "Yin Yang Dao Fan" and "Fuli Primordial Treasure Pearl" in Xuanqing’s spiritual platform, he really might not have been able to see through their disguises!

Now that he knew the identities of these two, the identity of the Great Divine Ability fellow holding the "Top Grade Acquired Spirit Sword" was naturally self-evident!

Apart from his "good teacher" Tongtian Sect Master, who else could advance and retreat together with those two?

However, perhaps feeling that it was inappropriate for Saints to openly contend for it, the three of them tacitly chose to conceal their identities, deploying methods others had never seen before.

Witnessing this scene, Zhi Ming was lost in thought and couldn’t help but look towards Xuanqing to inquire, "Those three Great Divine Ability fellows should be avatars of The Three Pure Ones, right?"

Xuanqing did not respond.

Some things, one can know without any problem, but must never speak of.

Yet silence, sometimes, is also an answer. In his heart, Zhi Ming had his confirmation.

At the same time.

New complications emerged on the battlefield, as three unfamiliar Great Divine Ability figures joined the fray, the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" circulating continuously among their divine skills.

Xuanqing seemed pensive.

He had a good grasp of the top Great Divine Ability figures of the Primordial, and it was impossible for so many to pop up all of a sudden. If he wasn’t mistaken... were these three newcomers the avatars of three other Saints?

They had been eyeing the battlefield all along!

Although Nuwa had no disciples and seemed detached from the world, indifferent to worldly matters, she had a brother who was also one of the 3000 guests at Purple Cloud Palace—Fu Xi!

And those two Saints from the West, they can hardly wait to bring back anything they spot, so how could they possibly resist the temptation of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi"?

Seeing this, Zhi Ming turned to look at Xuanqing and asked, "Who do you think can get the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"Nobody will get it!"

Xuanqing pondered for a moment then replied, "If this stream of Hongmeng Purple Qi exists, it’s like a fleeting ’one,’ giving those Great Divine Ability figures a glimmer of hope! But if someone were to refine it, they would lose that glimmer of hope completely! Therefore, I believe no one will get this strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi!"

Hearing this, Zhi Ming’s brow furrowed slightly. In fact, just now, he too had planned to send out an external avatar to strive for the "Hongmeng Purple Qi."

But after listening to Xuanqing, he felt there was much sense in those words and immediately dismissed the idea.

More and more Great Divine Ability figures joined the battle, and even Donghuang Taiyi could not stop them. In an instant, several Great Divine Ability figures met their demise.

But the strongest among them were Donghuang Taiyi, Demon Emperor Jun, Demon Teacher Kunpeng, Minghe Ancestor, and those six unfamiliar Great Divine Ability figures!

Finally, during a clash, several of them directed their divine skills simultaneously at the "Hongmeng Purple Qi," and their terrifying power instantly created several void cracks in the firmament.

The "Hongmeng Purple Qi" also clung to the "Nine-nine Soul Scattering Gourd," slipping into the void, its whereabouts unknown, darkening the faces of all present Great Divine Ability figures.

"Damn it!"

Emperor Jun cursed loudly.

Had he known this would happen, he would have brought Xi He, Fu Xi, Bai Ze, and the others along!

For this surprise attack, he had planned for a long time. To keep Fu Xi busy, he specifically had him, along with Bai Ze and others, go to Wuzhuang Temple to intercept Zhen Yuanzi!

As for Xi He, she was arranged to stay and defend the Heavenly Court with Ji Meng and others!

He thought that even without the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation," with the Daluo Demon Gods he brought, it would be enough to secure the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" into his pocket.

But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, six unfamiliar Great Divine Ability figures appeared!

Resulting in all his plans falling short at the last minute!
