The Quasi-Saint realm...
The Saint realm...
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm...
Soon, Hongjun's cultivation level plummeted, falling to a state even lower than when he was first born in the chaos!
It dropped to a level lower than when he had abandoned his Chaos Demon God true form, soul-entered the Great Desolation, and possessed a native being!
"Fellow Daoist Xuantian!"
"Save me..."
Hongjun's eyes flashed with the deepest fear.
He felt his magic power draining, his cultivation regressing, and his Dao fruit about to turn to dust.
At this moment, Hongjun's life was in grave danger, and he could no longer save himself.
Without the intervention of other cultivators, Hongjun estimated that he would completely perish within ten breaths, with no chance of survival!
"What is happening???"
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you..."
Seeing Hongjun suddenly fall into such a state, seemingly on the verge of death, Xuantian Demon God was startled.
He was fine just moments ago, how did he suddenly fall ill?
However, Xuantian Demon God was also a steadfast cultivator, reacting with extreme speed. Within a single breath, he understood the situation and immediately moved to save Hongjun.
As the Xuantian Demon God, who was in the late stage of Hunyuan Wuji, acted,
Boundless dark light and the laws of the Xuantian Great Dao descended from the sky.
The spiritual energy, time, and space around Hongjun seemed to be frozen by the Xuantian Great Dao, ceasing their flow.
Hongjun, now stuck at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, was as if isolated from the world, his cultivation and magic power no longer regressing.
His life was also secured.
A layer of dark light enveloped Hongjun like a protective shield, isolating him from the backlash emanating from the distant chaos!
"Hoo..."
Xuantian Demon God, who had quickly used the Xuantian Dao to suppress Hongjun's injuries,
Also sighed with a grim expression.
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun... your cultivation, your Dao fruit, all destroyed!"
"Your Chaos Demon God origin is ruined, your cultivation is destroyed! Even with infinite cultivation resources and your experience in cultivating to the Heavenly Dao realm, your cultivation will forever be stuck at Grand Unity Golden Immortal, unable to advance further!"
Xuantian Demon God, with a grim face, made his final judgment: "Even if Pangu, who is at the Half-step Great Dao realm, were reborn, there would be no way to salvage your future."
"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, I believe unless the Ancient Sage you mentioned intervenes, you will inevitably live out your life as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"
"Your future, your Dao path, is ruined!"
Hongjun, seemingly unable to bear the blow, murmured, "My Dao path is ruined? My Dao path is ruined?"
"Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation? I will forever be stuck at this realm? Stuck at this realm for my entire life?"
"I, the dignified Dao Ancestor, the master of the Great Desolation, the teacher of all saints, have fallen to such a fate! Such a fate!"
"Fang Ming! The Human Race Heavenly Court, I will see you all suffer a terrible end! A terrible end!"
Hongjun let out a desperate roar to the heavens!
He never imagined that he, the teacher of all saints, the Dao Ancestor revered by all cultivators in the Great Desolation, would one day fall to such a state!
This was beyond Hongjun's wildest expectations!
The teacher of all saints, his cultivation completely crippled, forever stuck at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, unable to advance further, not even able to recover to the Quasi-Saint level...
How ironic was this?
This feeling of being instantly cast down from heaven to hell was something Hongjun could not accept in a short period. His Dao heart was on the verge of collapse!
In his heart, he harbored an intense hatred for the person who had caused him to fall into such a predicament!
The Heavenly Punishment Giant Eye and Hongjun had a very deep connection, almost as if it were created by Hongjun's Demon God origin and Dao fruit through some self-created method.
The relationship between the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun had reached a point of inseparable unity.
Previously, the Heavenly Mystery Interference Device had been constantly disrupting the Heavenly Dao, causing Hongjun to be completely unaware of everything happening in the Great Desolation. Even when the Five Saints of the Heavenly Dao were suppressed and the Human Race Heavenly Court descended calamities on behalf of heaven, sweeping away all rebellious forces in the Great Desolation.
Such a massive upheaval, which almost usurped Hongjun's authority, Hongjun remained completely oblivious!
But – when the Heavenly Dao was shattered, leading to Hongjun's own cultivation regressing, and even facing imminent death within ten breaths.
No matter how powerful the Heavenly Mystery Interference Device was, it could no longer conceal certain truths...
Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, had learned all the truths of the Great Desolation and everything that had transpired!
From the rise of the Human Race to the Human Dao Heavenly Court, over these hundreds of thousands of years, Hongjun knew everything! He knew it all!
At the last moment, he knew everything!
Originally, if Xuantian Demon God had not been present, not in front of Hongjun, Hongjun would have completely perished within ten breaths. Even if he had learned these things at the brink of death, it would have been useless.
But fate would have it that the Heavenly Dao was shattered by Fang Ming precisely when Hongjun was discussing the Dao with Xuantian Demon God.
Ordinary Hunyuan Golden Immortals, or even early-stage Hunyuan Wuji cultivators, would have been powerless against Hongjun's injuries. However, Xuantian Demon God shared some similarities with Hongjun's Great Dao and possessed the cultivation of the late Hunyuan Wuji stage. Thus, he managed to save Hongjun, preserving his life.
This allowed Hongjun to recount everything that had happened in the Great Desolation to Xuantian Demon God.
Xuantian Demon God, having learned everything, now understood all the events that had transpired in the Great Desolation!
"Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, Fang Ming's invasion? Transmigrator invasion? Causing the Heavenly Dao established by Fellow Daoist Hongjun to be shattered, and the Great Desolation to be completely occupied..."
"This is troublesome!"
After listening to Hongjun's account, Xuantian Demon God realized that this matter was far more serious than anything he could have imagined, a change that would shake the ancient and modern world!
The Great Desolation, Hongjun's domain, which he thought was foolproof, had been invaded by Outer Realm Heavenly Demons!
Even if invaded, if the invasion was minor, there might still be hope.
Xuantian Demon God never expected that Hongjun would only learn of the situation on the other side after all beings in the Great Desolation had surrendered to the Human Race Heavenly Court, the Five Saints of the Heavenly Dao had been utterly defeated, and even the Heavenly Dao itself had been shattered.
This discovery was far too late! Far too late!
So late that Xuantian Demon God felt the situation had become dire!
The Crimson Dust Immortal! A peak expert of Hunyuan Wuji! Had now completely occupied the Great Desolation!
In another twenty billion years, to what heights would his cultivation soar? Would plans like the convergence of myriad worlds, the invasion of demon gods, and the usurpation of Pangu's Dao fruit still have any chance of success?
To be honest, Xuantian Demon God felt that even at this very moment, they, the Chaos Demon Gods and the supreme experts from over two hundred worlds, possessing peak cultivation from the Age of Dharma's End, might not be able to defeat the Human Race Heavenly Court and the current Great Desolation.
