Chapter 300: Suddenly I understood!
Although Hongjun's aura was weak at this moment, his eyes were still wild and unwilling.
Why...?
Hongjun stared intently at Tianqi.
"Why were you able to win?! I've planned for billions of years, calculated countless times..."
Why would I lose to someone like you... an anomaly?
Tianqi and the group of Ancestral Witches, stepping through the void and shrinking the distance between them, walked towards him step by step and said calmly:
"What else could it be? It must be because your path is wrong!"
"Wrong? What wrong have I done?"
Hongjun roared,
"The Way of Heaven is supreme, governing all paths; what is wrong with that?"
I am in accordance with the Way of Heaven, acting on behalf of Heaven; what wrong have I done?
"Your mistake was that you treated the Way as a tool."
Tianqi stopped ten feet in front of him.
"You treat the Way of Heaven as a tool to maintain your rule."
They treat saints as chess pieces and ordinary people as ants.
You scheme against this and that, but you forget that the Tao itself is not meant to be schemed against.
"Pangu, the Father God, created the world to give all living beings a world, not to rule over all living beings in the primordial world."
Houtu transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation to give the departed souls a final resting place, not for the sake of underground authority.
"And you... Hongjun, look at what you've done!"
Apocalypse's voice grew colder:
"In order to drive the Great Tribulation, you caused countless deaths and injuries among the living beings in the primordial world, creating endless bloodshed!"
You want to deal with us, these completely harmless witches,
It also planted the seed of resentment towards Buddha in Zhunti and the other two, nearly destroying Xiniu Hezhou.
Now, for the sake of your own position, you are willing to burn the very essence of Heaven and destroy Mount Buzhou...
Everything you do is to maintain your divine rule, and it's all for your own selfish desires.
"Your path, and you as you are,"
What makes you think you'll be the winner in the end?
Hongjun was stunned.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found himself speechless.
Yes... what exactly did he scheme and plot in his entire life?!
They schemed against the witch clan and the demon clan, but the ancestral witches turned to the underworld and rose to power.
He plotted to get the Jie Sect included in the Investiture of the Gods, but almost all of the Jie Sect's disciples ended up on the list, and even Tongtian entered the human realm.
It's making the Heavenly Court almost like the Jie Sect's territory!
They schemed against humanity, but the human emperor performed the Fengshan ceremony at Buzhou Mountain and surrendered to the underworld, leading to the great prosperity of humanity.
They plotted to manipulate the fate of the human race in Journey to the West, but in the end, the two useless disciples, Zhunti and Jieyin, were even devoured by the vengeful Buddha.
The ultimate winner turned out to be a monkey that was originally insignificant in the grand scheme of things...
Every scheming only made the situation worse.
Each strategic move further diminishes the advantage of Heaven.
"Ah! My whole life!"
Could it be that I've truly gone astray?!
Hongjun muttered to himself, the madness in his eyes gradually fading.
Instead, there was... bewilderment.
But the next second, the brief confusion was replaced by resentment.
"No! I did nothing wrong!" he roared.
"The Way of Heaven should be supreme! The Sage of the Way of Heaven should act on behalf of Heaven!"
All living beings should bow down and obey! This is order! This is the rule!
I, Hongjun, uphold order; what wrong have I done?!
As he spoke, Hongjun began to gather his own power again.
Wanting to resist again,
"Heh! Even though my cultivation level has declined now..."
But you are not qualified to completely destroy me!
"Stubborn and unyielding, they deserve to die!"
Seeing this, Tianqi shook his head and said no more.
Then a thought struck him.
The small axe flew out from between his eyebrows and was caught in his hand.
Whether it's qualified or not, we'll have to try it out to find out!
"Brothers, lend me a hand!"
Tianqi said in a deep voice.
"Alright! We'll bless you and kill that old bastard Hongjun!"
The twelve Ancestral Witches shouted in unison, and all twelve Primordial Laws were channeled into Tianqi's body through the great formation.
He pushed the power of the Apocalypse to its limit.
At this moment, Tianqi already possessed eight-tenths of the power that Pangu had when he created the world!
As Tianqi activated the small axe, it instantly began to grow exponentially.
From a few inches long to a few feet, a few feet, a hundred feet, a thousand feet...
In the end, it transformed into a colossal chaotic axe that stretched across the heavens and earth!
At the axe blade, the Dao of Power was compressed to its extreme.
It displays the power to create heaven and earth!
Originally, this axe blow didn't need to be so exaggerated.
After all, Apocalypse's little axe has always been characterized by its low profile and high efficiency, ever since it appeared in the prehistoric world.
But now that everything's out in the open, there's nothing to worry about!
He just wanted to scare the old man; he figured the old man would definitely like it!
As expected, Hongjun's pupils shrank when he saw the axe that blotted out the sky.
It wasn't just because of fear, but more because of...familiarity.
It's so familiar.
That's the aura of Pangu's axe that split the heavens and earth!
It is the ultimate manifestation of the Great Way of Power!
It was also the power that cleaved through the chaos and injured him back then!
"I see! I see!"
Hongjun suddenly laughed, but the laughter was somewhat eerie.
No wonder I felt a dull ache in my body back then.
And over the years, I've always felt there's a familiar yet unpleasant aura about you...
No wonder I felt so apprehensive when you attained the Primordial Chaos Realm...
No wonder you always manage to ruin my plans that have been going on for years...
He looked at Tianqi, his eyes filled with self-mockery:
"Now I finally understand!"
You are not an anomaly...
You are Pangu's backup plan.
It was the last axe he left behind in the primordial world before his demise.
And the purpose of leaving this axe behind is probably to eliminate outcasts like us!
Apocalypse smiled without saying a word, and simply slowly raised his axe.
I only realized it now, but it's too late!
"bring it on!"
Hongjun, who had initially wanted to resist, suddenly understood the situation the moment he saw the axe.
They opened their arms, giving up the fight.
"To die by Pangu's axe is more dignified than to die from the backlash of Heaven's will."
But Apocalypse did not strike immediately.
He looked at Hongjun and suddenly asked a question:
"Did you get hurt when Father God created the heavens?"
Hongjun was stunned for a moment. After regaining his senses, he tore open his Taoist robe, revealing a scar on his chest that ran from front to back, resembling a swimming ring.
The surface of the wound was shrouded in a hazy, grayish power of law, which had not completely faded even after billions of years!
"I see," Apocalypse nodded.
"You must also want to see my Father God! Then I'll grant your wish with this axe!"
The words were barely out when the axe fell!
When the giant axe fell from the chaos, time seemed to stand still.
As the axe blade drew ever closer, countless images flashed through Hongjun's mind:
In the beginning of chaos, when he was still the Chaos Demon God, he lurked in the depths of chaos.
They coveted the creation of the world by Pangu.
When Pangu split the chaos, separating the clear from the turbid...
He seized the opportunity to absorb a wisp of primordial energy, thus taking human form.
When Pangu fought alone against three thousand demons, he hid behind them.
He only suffered one blow from Pangu's axe thanks to the delaying tactics of the other demon gods, and narrowly escaped death.
But from that moment on, the wound on his chest became his eternal pain.
The Great Dao of Power permeated it, and even though his wounds had healed,
That vague pain, however, could not be dispelled!
