Boom!

Heavenly Dao naturally sensed Xuanqing’s actions, but before the Heavenly Punishment could descend, Xuanqing had used the Fate Dao to conceal his aura, erasing any trace of the three drops of Pangu Essence Blood.

The "Refining Dao Furnace," as a Chaos Spirit Treasure, formed its own space. Combined with the power of Fate, even the Heavenly Dao could not clearly pinpoint the True Spirits of the three Ancestor Witches.

However, upon seeing the True Spirits of the three Ancestor Witches, he couldn’t help but conceive a bold idea—to temporarily assume the identity of one of them.

There are numerous secrets in the Earth Dao, especially the "Pangu Hall" in Houtu’s possession, which likely serves as Pangu’s contingency plan left behind in the Primordial World.

This supreme treasure also suppresses the fate of the Witch Clan. Xuanqing had carefully observed it, and up to now, only the Twelve Ancestor Witches had entered the "Pangu Hall."

As for other members of the Witch Clan, even top powers like Xingtian, Hou Yi, and Jiufeng had never had the opportunity to step inside the "Pangu Hall."

He mastered the Fate Dao and possessed the "Dao Yi Seal"; altering the karma and fate at will, impersonating a certain Ancestor Witch wasn’t too difficult.

With a thought from Xuanqing, three drops of Essence Blood suddenly burst into brilliant divine light. Among them, the one containing the True Spirit of Zhu Rong was wrapped by the "Devastating Divine Fire," and the true intent of refining Dao emerged from the void, refining falsehood into truth, actually replicating a drop of Pangu Essence Blood.

For Xuanqing now, as long as he understood the substance and features of an item, creating something out of the void only took a moment!

Moreover, he already possessed the "Devastating Divine Fire," personally given to him by Zhu Rong, containing the essence of Zhu Rong’s Great Dao Source.

Soon, a new drop of Pangu Essence Blood appeared in his hand, containing an aura identical to that of Zhu Rong, the Ancestor Witch of Fire.

With a flick of his finger, an Undying Spirit Light of Chaos instantly transformed into countless True Spirit Fragments, merging with this replicated drop of Pangu Essence Blood.

As for the True Spirit of Zhu Rong, he tossed it into the incense fire in Daluo Heaven to be nourished.

"Now, just wait for Houtu to show up!"

Houtu always monitored the True Spirits of the Ancestor Witches, but unfortunately, she was currently entangled with the Daoist of Heaven and Earth and had no chance to guide the return of those Ancestor Witches.

But he believed that Houtu would still sense the return of people like Zhu Rong.

Zhu Jiuyin had previously had Qiang Liang, Xi Zi, and Zhu Rong leave their marks with Xuanqing, surely informing the other Ancestor Witches as well.

The clash between Earth Dao and Heavenly Dao continued; however, as altars shattered one by one, the power of the Heavenly Dao immediately suppressed the Earth Dao.

So far, according to Xuanqing’s observations, among the many altars attracting the lost spirits of Daluo, only the Dragon Clan successfully recalled the Ancestor Dragon True Spirit!

Currently, the only unshattered altars were those under Houtu’s feet, the Phoenix Clan’s, and the Qilin Clan’s.

These places, each guarded by Great Divine Powers with extraordinary foundations, could still withstand the descending Heavenly Punishment for some time.

"The stronger the imprint, the easier the return?"

Xuanqing discerned something from the rituals of Houtu and others; the Ancestor Dragon was the first to return because his imprint was the strongest.

Almost ninety percent of the Dragon Clan members contain his bloodline, with the remaining ten percent being the descendants of the Candle Dragon, Azure Dragon, and others.

Moreover, in the Primordial World, creatures containing the Dragon Clan bloodline are as numerous as the sands of the river, with even a carp or snake possibly being a descendant of the Dragon Clan.

Filling the world with dragons, the Ancestor Dragon solidified a Dragon Great Dao in the Primordial World.

Now, the Human Race uses the dragon as a totem, cultivators refer to spirit veins as dragon veins, and various Daoist powers even carve True Dragons into their pavilions and palaces.

Even the thunder unleashed by the Heavenly Dao occasionally morphs into the shape of a True Dragon.

Out of sight, not out of mind.

Even though the Ancestor Dragon has been gone for thousands of eons, in the Primordial World, his imprint remains strong, even stronger than when he was alive.

Boom!

Another Heavenly Punishment descended, this time in the South Pole, striking an altar guarded by Great Divine Powers such as Ling Guang and the Mysterious Bird.

This time, even Ling Guang couldn’t stop the Heavenly Punishment; the altar crumbled to ashes. But just before the altar completely collapsed, four streams of Innate Undying Spirit Light flew out from the vast river of space-time.

"Snow Phoenix, Thunderbird, Great Wind, and Kong Xuan?"

Dragon births nine sons, Phoenix nurtures nine young; Yuan Feng, as the head of the Phoenix Clan, begot nine direct descendants, namely Golden Phoenix and Colorful Phoenix, Green Phoenix, Fire Phoenix, Snow Phoenix, Thunderbird, Great Wind, Peacock, and Roc.

However, most of these nine offspring perished during the Dragon Han calamity; Peacock and Roc were born only after the end of the Dragon Han calamity.

Unfortunately, they both provoked Xuanqing, each meeting their end, Roc perished at the Golden Immortal Realm, dead and gone, unable to return. Only Kong Xuan, because of achieving Daluo status, maintained a sliver of life in the unknown.

Now, defying the heavens, the Phoenix Clan, with the help of Earth Dao and the help of the Great Immortal Yang Mei, successfully retrieved Kong Xuan and his three brothers.

"So what if they return?"

Xuanqing was indifferent: "Merely Daluo, could they really turn the heavens upside down?"

However, Snow Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Great Wind at their peak were at the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, potentially boosting the strength of the Phoenix Clan a bit.

Meanwhile, at the ancestral land of the Qilin Clan, a beam of light also rose, a Great Divine Power inheritor of the Primordial Qilin bloodline.

"Jade Qilin?"

Xuanqing just glanced and knew the identity of the returnee; this Jade Qilin was the first offspring born after the Primordial Qilin’s transformation.

He was considered the elder brother of the Uncorrupted Beings.

After the Dragon Han calamity, the physical body of the Primordial Qilin turned into "Qilin Cliff," still standing outside Yuxu Palace today. Without the Primordial Qilin’s body as a medium, the Qilin Clan naturally found it difficult to retrieve the Primordial Qilin’s True Spirit.

Unlike Jade Qilin, the Primordial Qilin had sworn to the Heavenly Dao, voluntarily becoming Dao. Unless unexpected, his True Spirit should be with the Heavenly Dao.

After all...

Initially, to alleviate the Karma of the Qilin Clan and leave them a glimmer of hope for survival, the Primordial Qilin made a vow to Heavenly Dao, transforming into Qilin Cliff and letting his own Great Dao manifest as the Heavenly Dao Auspicious.

Unless Heavenly Dao is destroyed, or Heavenly Dao actively awakens the True Spirit of Primordial Qilin, it would otherwise be impossible for the Primordial Qilin to reappear in the Primordial World!

For, the Primordial Qilin did not really perish; he became part of the Heavenly Dao.

When someone becomes a Saint, or contributes greatly to heaven and earth, Heavenly Dao bestows Merit. During these moments, a phantom image of Primordial Qilin would appear among various phenomena.

...

The great battle continued.

Yang Mei and Houtu multitasked, maintaining the altar on one side while restraining the Daoist Qiankun on the other, and finally, a drop of Pangu Essence Blood flew out from within the River of Space-Time.

This drop of essence blood bore the True Spirit of Gonggong, who once collapsed Buzhou Mountain; the creatures of the Primordial World have the deepest impression of him.

"Hong Jun, are you out of ideas now?"

So far, including the three Ancestor Witch True Spirits in his hands, already ten beings of lost Daluo had successfully returned from the depths of the River of Space-Time.

Though Hong Jun’s true body is still in the Purple Cloud Palace, the power he currently commands has likely reached its limit.

Unless he exits the state of union with the Dao and personally suppresses everyone with his main body.

But he dares not!

Should he exit the state of union, setting aside others, Luo Hou and Yuanshi Tianzun would certainly seize the opportunity to snatch the power of Heavenly Dao.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth, since you have already fallen due to disaster, why must you forcibly return?"

At this moment, Hong Jun’s voice suddenly resounded. Although his true body did not appear, Daoist Qiankun and Daoist Yin Yang suddenly transformed into two beams of light and merged with Emperor Hong.

Three Corpses United!

The method of Slashing Three Corpses was pioneered by Hong Jun, and no one understands it better than he does. After the union of three corpses, Emperor Hong’s aura surged immensely, as if a Heavenly Emperor was inspecting All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

At this moment, he did not strike Yang Mei and Houtu but targeted the Karma Demon. The infinite power of Heavenly Dao instantly formed a huge mountain and crushed it down.

"Suppress!"

Without any fancy phenomena, infinite Heavenly Dao power gathered together, enough to erase all karma and all matter.

The force of Heavenly Dao bearing down, like a divine mountain, suppresses the cosmos, sweeping through all heavens and multiverses, which also collapse in an instant.

The Karma Demon’s expression finally changed, his face filled with horror. The omnipotent power of karma that had always prevailed was now the shackle binding him.

Under Heavenly Dao, all karma dissipates, and fate disperses—it is the supreme power.

Boom!

The physical body of the Karma Demon was directly destroyed, leaving only the Primordial Spirit to flee. In the presence of absolute power, even the Karma Dao could not remain unscathed.

This power, surpassing Karma Dao, could manipulate and shift to the utmost limit.

Seeing the fleeing Primordial Spirit of Karma, Emperor Hong did not pursue but instantly transformed into a celestial light, arriving directly in front of Yang Mei and Houtu.

"Disrupting the Primordial, you shall be punished!"

Emperor Hong pointed out, and the immense power of Heavenly Dao swept across the void, as if thousands of universes exploded. His Divine Skill directly targeted Yang Mei and Houtu.

"Not good!"

Yang Mei’s expression changed instantly.

He was only aiding Houtu this time to test Hong Jun’s strength while intending to let the two forces of heaven and earth clash, not to trap himself.

"Prison Heaven and Lock Earth!"

Seeing Yang Mei activate the Space-Time Great Dao, Emperor Hong launched another Divine Skill. The void instantly became as solid as Chaos Immortal Gold.

Moreover, three thousand Heavenly Dao chains locked down all directions and times, attempting to sever all lifelines of Yang Mei and Houtu.

This time, Hong Jun was seriously making a move!

Boom!

Infinite Heavenly Dao power transformed into a deluge that swamped down, vibrating billions of space-times, intending to annihilate everything and execute all that intends to disrupt the order of Heavenly Dao.

"Great Space-Time Technique!"

"Great Reincarnation Technique!"

Yang Mei and Houtu, unable to maintain the altar any longer, fully resisted with their powers, evolving a cycle of space-time in the void before them.

Time seemed to stop, space seemed to solidify, but it didn’t last long before the vast Heavenly Dao torrent submerged both of their bodies.

"Zha!"

Had it not been for the critical moment when a sound of opening the heavens echoed and "Pangu Hall" shone brightly, both would have been severely damaged by Emperor Hong’s strike.

Seeing "Pangu Hall" exerting its power, Emperor Hong did not continue to strike, his form slowly vanished into the void, leaving behind only four cold words.

"Beware of your actions!"
