Chapter 57 Houtu Reincarnates, Xuan Chu is Severely Injured
Chapter 57:
All the consequences of Houtu's evolution into the Six Paths of Reincarnation were resolved by Xuan Chu in just a few words. Now, Houtu had nothing to worry about anymore.
Immediately afterwards, Houtu forced out a drop of ancestral witch blood and handed it to Xuan Chu, saying, "Uncle, this is Houtu's ancestral witch blood. I entrust everything to you, Uncle."
Xuan Chu accepted the essence blood and said, "Don't worry, with me here, everything will fall into place naturally."
Houtu glanced at the eleven Ancestral Witches, but this time there was no reluctance. Houtu flew back to the sky above the sea of blood and chanted, "Heavenly Dao above..."
"Wait!" Before Houtu could even begin, Xuan Chu interrupted her again, saying, "Houtu, swear an oath to the Great Dao." This was the first change Xuan Chu made. In her previous life, the Six Paths of Reincarnation created by Houtu was stolen by the Heavenly Dao. Although Houtu still became a saint and remained the master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, she was imprisoned within the Six Paths of Reincarnation by the Heavenly Dao, without any freedom. This resulted in the Earthly Dao, which should have been on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao, being controlled by the Heavenly Dao. From then on, the entire prehistoric world was dominated by the Heavenly Dao.
What Xuan Chu needs to do is change all of this, to make Hou Tu Xiao Gu swear an oath to the Great Dao. Ordinary oaths cannot attract the Great Dao, but with the emergence of the Primordial Earthly Dao, the Great Dao will definitely descend. The only possible problem is that the Heavenly Dao and Hong Jun will jump out and cause trouble.
"Yes, Houtu understands." Although Houtu didn't understand why she had to do this, she believed that Xuan Chu must have his reasons for asking her to do it, and she believed that Xuan Chu would not harm her.
After adjusting herself, Houtu swore an oath again, saying, "By the Great Dao above, my name is Houtu, formed from the essence and blood of Pangu, the Earth Ancestral Witch among the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan. Feeling that the souls of the primordial world had nowhere to go after death, I now follow the Great Dao and wish to use my body as an Ancestral Witch to evolve the Six Paths of Reincarnation, to mend the deficiencies of the primordial world, and to give all living beings a chance for rebirth. I hope the Great Dao will take note!"
"Not good!" As soon as Houtu made her oath, Hongjun, who was in Zixiao Palace, felt something was wrong. Houtu had deviated from his plan. If Houtu succeeded, the Earthly Dao would be born smoothly, and then the Heavenly Dao would completely lose its supreme status.
However, Xuan Chu was currently in the Blood Sea, and Hong Jun understood that even if he went to the Blood Sea, there was nothing he could do. But Hong Jun was not without options. He took out a strand of Primordial Purple Qi, the ninth and final strand of Primordial Purple Qi. This final strand of Primordial Purple Qi was prepared by the Heavenly Dao for Hou Tu. As long as the Primordial Purple Qi was injected into Hou Tu's body the moment she reconstructed her physical body and her primordial spirit was reborn, Hou Tu would become a Heavenly Dao Saint after absorbing the merit. In this way, the Earthly Dao and the Six Paths of Reincarnation would return to the hands of the Heavenly Dao.
Above the sea of blood, as Houtu uttered her oath, her true spirit flew out of her body, and her physical body began to disintegrate step by step, eventually forming a huge wheel with six holes, representing the six paths of reincarnation.
Sensing the emergence of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the underground passages that had been dormant in the Netherworld also awakened. Streams of underground power were poured into Houtu's true spirit. With the infusion of underground power, Houtu's true spirit slowly transformed into a primordial spirit.
"Boom!" As a thunderclap resounded from beyond the heavens, a massive golden pillar of merit enveloped Houtu's primordial spirit. With the help of the merit, Houtu's physical body slowly took shape.
Just when everything was going well, a beam of purple light descended from the sky, swept across the heavens, and headed straight for Houtu.
"Hongjun, I knew you wouldn't be able to hold back." Xuan Chu saw the purple light rushing towards Houtu and his lips curled up slightly. He activated the Hunyuan Sword to block the purple light. When the light dissipated, a primordial purple aura suddenly appeared.
The reappearance of the Primordial Purple Qi instantly made all the powerful beings of the Primordial World turn red with envy, but with Xuan Chu present, none of them dared to make any rash moves.
"So it's the Primordial Purple Qi, Hongjun. It seems you had a backup plan. But with me here today, you have no chance of succeeding. As for this Primordial Purple Qi, I'll gladly accept it!" Xuan Chu seized the Primordial Purple Qi, and just like on Jin'ao Island, erased the Heavenly Dao imprint within it. He then casually channeled it into Houtu's primordial spirit, saying to her, "Houtu, absorb the Primordial Purple Qi, then fully comprehend the Laws of Earth. Today is the day you attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan!"
"Xuan Chu, how dare you?" Seeing that Xuan Chu not only took away the Primordial Purple Qi, but also wanted Hou Tu to take this opportunity to prove herself as a Primordial Golden Immortal, Hong Jun could no longer sit still. One Tong Tian had already put him in such a difficult position, and if Hou Tu were added to the mix, what would become of him? So he appeared with the Heavenly Dao Wheel, regardless of the consequences, intending to interrupt Hou Tu's attempt to prove herself.
"Hongjun, you've finally come!" Xuan Chu sneered.
"Xuan Chu, you have defied the Heavenly Dao, and your crime is unforgivable. Today, I, in the name of the Heavenly Dao, will suppress you and restore a bright and clear world to the primordial world!" Hongjun said expressionlessly.
"You want to suppress me? I'll see if you have the ability!" Xuan Chu charged towards Hong Jun with the Hunyuan Sword in hand. However, as soon as they clashed, Xuan Chu felt the true value of the Heavenly Dao's representative. Hong Jun, who was in the prehistoric world, received far greater blessings from the Heavenly Dao's origin than when he was in chaos. Xuan Chu discovered that he seemed to be no match for Hong Jun in the prehistoric world.
With a single blow, Hongjun remained completely unmoved, while Xuan Chu flew directly back to the sky above the sea of blood, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Xuan Chu looked at Hong Jun in the sky with a solemn expression. He admitted that he had been a little careless. He thought that even if Hong Jun had the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Origin in the prehistoric world, he would at most be able to fight him to a draw. He did not expect Hong Jun to be so powerful.
"Hahaha, Xuan Chu has been defeated!" On Kunlun Mountain, after seeing Xuan Chu defeated by Hong Jun, Yuan Shi let out a loud laugh, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on Yuan Shi's heart for countless years collapsed in an instant.
"Brother, Xuan Chu has been defeated. We must hurry to help our teacher. This time, we must completely suppress this bastard Xuan Chu." How could Yuan Shi be absent from this kind of opportunistic act?
"Alright!" Taishang agreed. Although Xuan Chu was their uncle, they had already followed the path of Heaven to the bitter end. If Xuan Chu did not die, they would never have a chance to rise again.
At the same time, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi and others also flew towards the Blood Sea.
On Jin'ao Island, Tongtian was incredulous to see Xuan Chu defeated. In Tongtian's mind, Xuan Chu was invincible, so how could he have lost? But the facts were right in front of him, and Tongtian had no choice but to admit it.
"Oh no! My uncle is injured. The Six Sages of Heaven will surely take advantage of his misfortune. I can't let my uncle be in danger!" Tongtian didn't have time to instruct his disciples before flying away into the sea of blood.
Above the sea of blood, Hongjun saw that he had finally defeated Xuanchu, but he felt no joy at all, because Houtu had already absorbed all the merits, the Earthly Dao had awakened, and his and the Heavenly Dao's endless plans over the years had ultimately failed.
"However, being able to completely suppress Xuan Chu, this anomaly, is not entirely without gain." Now, Hongjun could only find some consolation for himself. Hongjun activated the Heavenly Dao Wheel, intending to attack Xuan Chu. Suddenly, the will of the Great Dao descended, and a powerful attack struck Hongjun. With one blow, Hongjun was directly knocked away.
This scene was witnessed by the group of Heavenly Saints who rushed over, and they were all dumbfounded. How could Hongjun, who had just been in the upper hand, suddenly be knocked away?
Before they could even react, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, directly hitting Xuan Chu and exacerbating his injuries. This was the Great Dao's punishment for the two of them fighting in the prehistoric world.
The fact that the two most powerful beings in the primordial world were simultaneously punished by the Great Dao left all living beings in the primordial world quite bewildered. However, when the group of Heavenly Dao Saints saw that Xuan Chu was seriously injured, they instantly felt that this was a great opportunity, so they decided to join forces to attack Xuan Chu.
At the critical moment, Tongtian arrived and, in order to protect Xuanchu, immediately set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
