Chapter 1688: Destroying the Self
"Die!"
Wan Wuyi suddenly roared, and his whole body turned into a sword of divine consciousness. All his strength, all his will, and all his faith were integrated into the sword of divine consciousness. With the speed of the sword arriving as soon as he thought about it, he stabbed at Hongjun, who was already seriously injured.
Zhang Qian who appeared at the same time also took action. He put all his strength into it without any reservation. Except for not using the Chaos Pearl hidden in the Tongtian Jianmu, all his killing skills and precious spiritual treasures were directed at Hongjun.
"Do you think I am ignorant?"
At this moment, Hongjun suddenly sneered, and his figure disappeared without a trace. All the means used by Wan Wuyi and Zhang Qian bombarded the air, as if they had been prepared and were waiting for them to take action.
Frowning, Zhang Qian looked again and saw that Hongjun had appeared in the canopy of the towering Jianmu tree, sitting cross-legged. The Jade Butterfly of Creation was spinning rapidly, frantically extracting his soul, true spirit, and all the power of the Heavenly Dao from the cracks in his body.
The silk threads transformed from the myriad powers of heaven were connected to the Jade Butterfly of Creation and were swallowed by this chaotic spiritual treasure. Moreover, those myriad powers of heaven did not put in any resistance and obediently left Hongjun and entered the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
Rumble!
The void shook violently, and the entire crack in the void was trembling. It had endured the full-strength attack from Wan Wuyi and Zhang Qian. If this crack in the void had not been stabilized by the Tongtian Jianmu, it would have collapsed long ago.
"Do it!"
Just when countless great powers in the outside world were going from surprise to despair, Zhang Qian and Wan Wuyi suddenly shouted in unison, and Panzu, Fengzu, Zhulong, Chi'ao, Jitiandi and Gai Xianfan seemed to have received some kind of instruction. They all turned into a beam of divine light and rushed towards the three corpse clones left behind by Hongjun.
To be precise, he rushed towards the corpse of his self with white hair and beard!
"Do not……!"
Hongjun, who had just drained all the power of Heaven from the wounds all over his body, saw this scene and suddenly let out a slightly desperate roar.
Unfortunately, no one listened to him. As if they had discussed it beforehand, everyone rushed towards the corpse of their self with white hair and beard.
This incarnation of the Three Corpses held a dragon-headed cane and a bowl of clean water, and had a kind face and was very amiable. However, at this moment his expression became filled with extreme fear.
Wan Wuyi's sword, which turned into divine consciousness, arrived first. However, an unpredictable sword light flashed and Hongjun's corpse was split into two halves.
Rumble!
Zhang Qian’s fist struck out, instantly smashing half of it into pieces.
All the killing skills of Zhulong, Fengzu and others destroyed the other half of the clone completely!
In an instant, the three corpse clones disappeared into thin air, leaving nothing behind.
Choking!
A sharp sword sound was heard, and Gai Xianfan thrust out with his sword, destroying the remaining spiritual consciousness of the Three Corpses' clone. After being besieged by so many powerful men, the spiritual consciousness that was already inferior to Hongjun's own had already been broken and could not withstand Gai Xianfan's soul-destroying sword technique at all.
One of the three corpse clones is gone!
"You are looking for death!"
As his self-corpse was destroyed, Hongjun's usual indifferent and ruthless expression disappeared, as if he had become a different person, no different from an ordinary person.
He is no longer cold and indifferent, no longer apathetic, but has the joys and sorrows that a living being should have.
After losing his body, Hongjun seemed to have returned to his true self. This was a good thing in the eyes of others, but it was the worst news for him!
His path was already half-destroyed the moment his corpse was completely annihilated!
How could he not understand that Zhang Qian, Wan Wuyi and others had already discussed this and their target was not him, but his three corpse clones.
With Zhang Qian around, his method of slaying the three corpses and attaining enlightenment is no longer a secret.
This path is indeed very strong, and it comes from the way of proving the truth of the transcendent strong. However, once one of the three corpses is completely destroyed, this path becomes imperfect, and there is no chance of the three corpses becoming one. Moreover, Zhang Qian and others were too ruthless. If the spiritual consciousness of his own corpse had not been annihilated, he might have spent a lot of time and could have cut out his own corpse again, but after it was completely annihilated, there was no such opportunity.
Hongjun will never be able to carve out his own corpse again.
"Hahahaha, it worked! It finally worked!"
At the moment when Hongjun's self-corpse was destroyed, Zhang Qian suddenly laughed wildly. He had already had a plan when Hongjun revealed his three corpse clones.
He also discussed this plan with Wan Wuyi and others, and had already made an agreement.
The fact that Hongjun was in harmony with the Way of Heaven was indeed beyond Zhang Qian's expectations and frightened him, but it also gave him an opportunity to take advantage of, so luckily his plan was not wrong.
Hongjun was too confident. He expected that even if he had the power of heaven, he could not kill Zhang Qian and Wan Wuyi, but he did not anticipate the real purpose of Zhang Qian and others.
Their real purpose is not to defeat Hongjun at all, that is simply impossible.
Even someone as strong as Wan Wuyi can only tie with Hongjun, and this tie is questionable. After all, no one knows how many terrible cards Hongjun has.
From the beginning to the end, Zhang Qian's goal was to completely destroy Hongjun's three corpse clones, any one of them would be fine.
However, both the good corpse and the evil corpse of Hongjun had innate treasures in their hands, but the corpse of self had only two innate spiritual treasures in his hand. Naturally, he targeted the corpse of self.
The indifferent and ruthless Hongjun is like the incarnation of the way of heaven. Hongjun, who has lost his self, has become a member of the living creatures. This kind of change is what Zhang Qian wants.
Moreover, without the corpse of the self, Hongjun's path will never be complete. Even if there is still hope of becoming a saint, the difference between becoming a saint by combining the three corpses into one and becoming a saint by losing the corpse of the self is huge!
If the three corpses of Hongjun were to unite into one and become a saint, the sainthood he would achieve would be unmatched, second only to Pangu, and later generations would never be able to reach it.
Now there are only two corpses of good and evil left. Hongjun has only one way to become a saint, and that is to become a saint through infinite merits. The way of killing the three corpses to prove the truth has become a supplementary one.
According to Zhang Qian's understanding, Hongjun, who became a saint by combining the three corpses into one, can crush those who became saints through merit.
Unfortunately, Hongjun did not have this opportunity. Gai Xianfan's swordsmanship was indeed terrifying. It destroyed the spiritual consciousness of the corpse of the self, completely cutting off Hongjun's ability to kill the corpse of the self again and destroying his path to enlightenment with the Three Corpses.
The path of destroying Hongjun is the real goal of everyone, and it is also the expectation in the hearts of countless great powers in the ancient times. Their expectations are transformed into magnificent luck to bless everyone. This terrible luck seems to have really worked and helped everyone achieve their goals.
“Hongjun, oh Hongjun, without the corpse of the self, your path to attaining enlightenment by slaying the three corpses is completely cut off. You no longer have the opportunity to achieve great perfection by uniting the three corpses. You can only take the path of becoming a saint through merit, but the greatest merit in the prehistoric world lies with Pangu and the Three Pure Ones. What will you do?”
Zhang Qian, ecstatic, couldn't help but be curious.
He had tried every possible means to deal with Hongjun, and now he had finally achieved results, and these results were somewhat beyond his expectations.
From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of defeating Hongjun. How could Hongjun be so easy to deal with? Being blessed by the heavens was not just talk.
In this era, no one can defeat Hongjun. Otherwise, Luohou has been back in the prehistoric world for so long, wouldn't he have jumped out long ago?
Luohou knows Hongjun best and is well aware of how terrifying he is.
