Chapter 17: Wuchen VS Hongjun
Unaffected by any law, and with all evil forces retreating, Hongjun's rules-based offensive techniques couldn't even get within three feet of Wuchen's body!
"Um?"
Hongjun raised an eyebrow, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Although he has not yet attained the Dao, he has already perfectly mastered the power of all kinds of rules, while the other party has only just entered the Quasi-Saint realm and has barely begun to master the power of rules.
It is only an introductory level of purification, yet it has the power to purify all things.
That's truly unbelievable.
"Hmph! You do have some skill, but that's not enough."
Hongjun snorted coldly and made hand seals.
He manipulated all the rules of the universe, such as the five elements, yin and yang, time and space, life and death, transforming them into swords of rules.
They were densely packed, blotting out the sky, and slashed towards Wuchen.
The swords of boundless rules moved in unison, shattering space and causing spiritual energy to surge. Such an attack would require even a saint of the same level to cope with it with all their might.
Wuchen stood holding his gun, the tip of the God-Slaying Spear exuding both the ferocity of god-slaying and the Daoist aura of purification. He neither dodged nor avoided, unleashing his full purification power.
The shimmering white light transformed into towering waves of light, meeting the myriad swords of rules.
Each sword of rules that touches the wave of light has its rules patterns quickly purified and erased, losing all its sharpness and turning into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, Hongjun's face immediately darkened.
"It's my turn."
As soon as Wuchen finished speaking, his figure flashed away, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand pierced straight for Hongjun's face, with all kinds of power of rules concentrated on the tip of the spear.
The God-Slaying Spear targets the primordial spirit, and even Hongjun dared not confront it head-on.
The only option is to dodge.
Wuchen, however, was relentless in his pursuit, launching attack after attack on Hongjun with his spear.
The sky was filled with countless gun shadows, carrying endless slaughter and the power of the various rules of the Dao that Wuchen had comprehended, forcing Hongjun to be somewhat powerless to deal with it for a time.
"It's that senior!"
Houtu, deep within the sea of blood, suddenly stood up, her gaze fixed intently on Wuchen from afar.
Although she did not recognize Wuchen's true form, she had sensed his various laws, and now that he was exerting his full power, she naturally recognized him.
"Walk!"
Dijiang clearly recognized Wuchen as well, and without saying a word, he tore through space and led a group of Ancestral Witches across space toward the battlefield.
Wuchen has been kind to the Wu Clan, and this battle may have started because of them. How could the Wu Clan sit idly by?
"Is that you, senior?"
Outside the Zixiao Palace, Tongtian also glanced at Laozi beside him.
He had not experienced the various laws that Wuchen had comprehended, but looking at the entire prehistoric world, the only person who could rival Hongjun was probably that senior.
Lao Tzu pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, but it might be an opportunity for us."
He was unwilling to be bound by the Heavenly Dao, yet he lacked the ability to resist. Now, the appearance of an existence capable of contending with Hongjun was his only chance.
They just didn't know if the other party was that senior, or if they were willing to help them.
Compared to Laozi and Tongtian's hesitation, Nuwa acted much more decisively, rushing towards the prehistoric world without hesitation.
Hongjun "killed" her brother, yet still wanted to control her.
If there's no opportunity, that's fine too.
If given the chance, no matter how slim, she would give it a try.
Even if the price is death.
Becoming a puppet of Heaven's will is not much better than death.
Laozi and Tongtian exchanged a glance.
"Walk!"
At Laozi's command, the two of them charged toward the primordial wilderness together.
"Eldest brother, third brother!"
Yuanshi looked bewildered as he watched the two leave.
Why did they run away when the sage was about to preach?
"Let's go too."
Bai Ze's heart stirred, and he quickly looked at Di Jun, Tai Yi, and the others.
"what?"
Taiyi looked completely bewildered, unable to fathom the other's thoughts.
Di Jun, however, understood.
When a sage faces difficulties, that is precisely the time for them to prove themselves.
"Walk!"
Di Jun rushed out, and Taiyi and the others had no choice but to follow.
There is no shortage of "clever people" in the world.
Many powerful beings, unaware of the situation, assumed that Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones were there to make a name for themselves, which led many of them to rush towards the prehistoric world.
Yuanshi was eventually swept away by the main force and rushed towards the primordial world.
Outside Zixiao Palace, the place was suddenly deserted.
The west.
Zhunti looked at Jieyin and asked, "Brother, should we go and help?"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin shook his head.
"Our karmic ties with him are settled. The karmic ties with a sage are beyond our capacity to bear, and I do not believe he needs our help."
Zhunti looked at the battlefield and thought it seemed so too.
That senior may not be as powerful as a saint, but with his ability to purify all laws, even the saint Hongjun could not defeat him.
Hongjun grew increasingly frustrated with each fight.
He, a sage, was powerless against a mere quasi-sage.
If things continue like this, how can we save face?
Hongjun raised his hand and summoned the Pangu Banner, causing the chaotic energy to suddenly spread out.
As soon as the Pangu Banner unfurled, it unleashed the power to create heaven and earth, with endless blades of primordial energy slashing down, attempting to cleave Wuchen and his soul in two.
The Pangu Banner is a primordial treasure, transformed from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Axe held by Pangu. It has the power to create heaven and earth and restore order to the universe.
The power of the Heaven-Opening Divine Might is invincible; in terms of killing power, it is not much inferior to the God-Slaying Spear.
Seeing the pressure of the Pangu Banner descend, Wuchen was not afraid at all. Instead, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his burning gaze made Hongjun's heart skip a beat.
Wuchen's body shone with a purifying light, which rolled straight toward the Pangu Banner.
The purifying divine light not only purified the Qi-opening blade, but also began to purify the divine consciousness imprint that Hongjun had attached to the magic weapon the moment it wrapped around the Pangu Banner.
The overwhelming power of the Pangu Banner, capable of creating the world, was actually suppressed.
"presumptuous!"
Hongjun was furious. He had never seen anyone dare to forcibly snatch a primordial treasure from a sage, and even used a strange purifying power to sever his connection with the treasure.
He unleashed the full power of the rules, attempting to regain control of the Pangu Banner.
But Wuchen's purification power is extremely domineering, capable of suppressing all laws and severing all bonds. No matter how he mobilizes the power of the rules, he cannot resist the purification power.
It was at this moment that Dijiang and the other twelve ancestral witches finally arrived at the battlefield.
The moment they stepped out of the spatial rift, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had already completed the construction of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, summoning a massive Dharma image that connects heaven and earth.
"Hongjun, die!"
Pangu's Dharma form moved according to Dijiang's will, and the shadow of the Heaven-Opening Axe in his hand cleaved straight towards Hongjun.
"Pangu!"
Hongjun caught a glimpse of it and was greatly alarmed. He no longer cared about whether it was a supreme treasure or not, and his figure suddenly fled to a place 100,000 miles away.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wuchen forcibly suppressed the Pangu Banner and took it into his hands.
"puff!"
The axe blade unleashed by Pangu's Dharma form struck the primordial land, slicing it open like tofu without causing any visual impact.
"Damn it!"
Upon closer inspection, Hongjun realized that the so-called Pangu was nothing more than a Dharma form.
A dignified saint was so frightened by a mere Dharma image.
"Dijiang, you're all courting death!"
Enraged, Hongjun raised his hand and conjured a Hand of Rules, which he then used to suppress the twelve Ancestral Witches who had transformed into the Dharma Image of Pangu.
