Chapter 1689: Virtue Becomes Saint
Even as strong as Luohou was, he carefully hid himself when facing Hongjun, who had defeated him once. This was because he knew how terrifying Hongjun was, a terrifying thing that could not be described in words.

Even though Hongjun has not yet become a saint, in the prehistoric world, he is the true master, the real number one, and no one can surpass him.

Knowing this, Luohou hid in the dark and planned, and did not show up to show off his grand magic. Having suffered a great loss once, he is naturally not a fool, and no one knows what he is planning in secret.

"You...! I will fight you till death! I will fight you till death!"

Hongjun's face flushed red and he was furious. The moment his corpse was destroyed, he regained his emotions and no longer had his previous indifference. He hated everyone so much that they ruined his path.

“Hahahaha, will we fight to the death?” Wan Wuyi laughed wildly. “Hongjun, your path is ruined. Without your own corpse, you can’t take the path of the three corpses uniting to attain the truth and become a saint. How can you become a saint? You have suppressed the prehistoric world for billions of years, replacing the will of heaven with your own heart, and you have acted recklessly, deciding the life and death of a group of prehistoric great powers. Today, all these evil deeds have finally paid off for you!”

"presumptuous!"

Hongjun was extremely angry and waved his hand to take away the two corpses of good and evil. He didn't want to lose these two clones of the Three Corpses again, otherwise his cultivation level would fall.

The Tongtian Jianmu continuously sprinkled rich vitality of nature, which continuously healed Hongjun's injuries. However, no matter how magical the Tongtian Jianmu was, it could not restore his destroyed body.

Hongjun, whose Three Corpses are no longer perfect, can no longer follow the path of the Three Corpses to prove the Tao. Moreover, he had previously forced his body to merge with the Heavenly Dao, and the unparalleled pressure he had endured left him covered in bruises. These injuries cannot be recovered in a short period of time.

"Emperor Jun!"

At this moment, Wan Wuyi suddenly roared angrily. Everyone looked around and found that Di Jun had disappeared without a trace and ran away silently.

Everyone's attention was focused on Hongjun, even Wan Wuyi, and they didn't even notice when Di Jun ran away.

Hongjun also discovered that Dijun was missing, and he was filled with hatred. Without Dijun to share the firepower, he would face the siege of everyone alone.

"Right now, don't let him recover!"

Zhang Qian shouted loudly, ready to take advantage of the man's illness and kill him!

"Don't worry, he can't run away!"

Wan Wuyi smiled wantonly, suppressed his displeasure at Di Jun's escape, and with a flash of his body, he rushed towards Hongjun first.

"The path is ruined?"

“Hahaha, Hongjun’s path has been ruined. He can’t prove his truth with the three corpses, and the Heavenly Dao will open its eyes!”

While everyone was rushing towards Hongjun, the countless great men of the prehistoric world who were paying close attention to this battle were in an uproar. Their hearts were slightly relieved. They were all people of broad knowledge and could naturally see that if Hongjun's three corpses were united into one and he achieved the status of a saint, he would immediately become the true master of the prehistoric world and no one could surpass or resist him.

Now that one of the Three Corpses is gone, Hongjun's path has been cut off. All those who had ambitions and ambitions to become saints began to cheer and rejoice.

From this moment on, most people on the road to becoming a saint in the prehistoric world are at the same starting line. It is no longer Hongjun who is far ahead, leaving others unable to catch up and could only watch in despair.

Only Pangu and the Three Pure Ones looked happy for a moment, then immediately turned ugly.

"Hongjun's path to becoming a saint has been destroyed. There is only one path left for him to take to become a saint."

Taoist Taiqing sighed, his eyes full of worry.

"That's right." Taoist Yuqing stroked his short beard and said in a serious tone, "From the inheritance of Father God, there are only a few ways to become a saint. Proving the Tao by force, proving the Tao by merit, and proving the Tao by Hongjun's three corpses are one of them. With Hongjun's power, it is impossible to prove the Tao by force. The only way to prove the Tao is by merit."

"Merit and virtue prove the truth!" Taoist Shangqing also understood.

The three of them were all incarnations of Pangu's primordial spirit, and naturally had the chaotic memories inherited from Pangu. When the other great powers of the prehistoric times did not understand how to become saints, they understood the path to sainthood through Pangu's inherited memories.

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. Hongjun wanted to take us in as his disciples twice before, just for our merits in opening up the world. At that time, his path to the Three Corpses had not yet been destroyed, so he didn't think much of our merits in opening up the world. But now it's different. If he wants to become a saint, there is only one way to become a saint through merits. He will definitely target us."

As he spoke, Taoist Taiqing showed deep worry.

"Why should we be afraid of him!" The Taoist Shangqing was the most fearless. "Zhang Qian and others are still besieging Hongjun. Even if we cannot destroy him, we should be able to severely injure him. In this way, it will take who knows how many years for Hongjun to recover from all his injuries. By that time, our cultivation level may not be much different from his."

"Well said!"

Taoist Yuqing was the most arrogant person. When he heard what Taoist Shangqing said, he immediately nodded in agreement.

He has absolute confidence in himself. As long as there is enough time, he doesn't believe that he cannot surpass Hongjun.

"Let's wait and see, who knows if Hongjun has any other cards up his sleeve!"

Taoist Taiqing was not blindly confident, but stared closely at the scene in the water mirror in front of him.

At this moment, Zhang Qian, Wan Wuyi, Ji Tiandi, Chi Ao, Zhu Long, Feng Zu, and Gai Xianfan had surrounded Hongjun, and all kinds of terrifying killing techniques were continuously launched at Hongjun.

For a moment, Hongjun looked quite embarrassed, as if he could only defend himself but had no power to fight back.

But at this moment, the Chaos Balance Instrument moved, and the two trays of the Chaos Spirit Treasure in the shape of a scale swung, and immediately began to balance the power between everyone and Hongjun.

This balance is extremely unfair. It will not increase or decrease the strength of everyone, but will only increase Hongjun's own strength.

This is not a true balance at all, but who can blame Hongjun for this treasure?

It was visible to the naked eye that Hongjun's strength, which had been reduced due to his serious injuries, increased dramatically. In almost the blink of an eye, he was on par with everyone else. All kinds of killing techniques were fired at him, but he took them on with ease, and no one could get close to him at all.

When this extremely rogue treasure appeared, everyone was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

The Chaos Spiritual Treasure is the highest grade treasure in this universe. After the creation of the world, there is no Chaos Spiritual Treasure. The original Chaos Spiritual Treasure is either broken into pieces and turned into various innate spiritual treasures, or damaged and reduced in grade, becoming Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Zhang Qian was not sure whether his Chaos Pearl could crack the Chaos Hengtian Instrument, and he had no intention of giving it a try.

Because the Chaos Pearl has already moved to the connection point between the trunk and the roots of Tongtian Jianmu, it directly intercepts the vitality of creation transformed from billions of roots, and absorbs it all into the Chaos Pearl, becoming the power of the twelve innate gods and demons of creation.

The heart of the god and demon, which originally had only the initial blood and meridians, slowly began to transform into bones and flesh.

"wrong!"

It was not until then that Hongjun discovered the abnormality of Tongtian Jianmu. This terrifying innate spirit had not been refined by him. Before, the Chaos Pearl was hiding its own secrets, and he had not discovered it. But after it started to intercept the vitality of nature, he naturally discovered it.

"Chaos Pearl!"

After discovering the abnormality, Hongjun connected his mind to the Tianjianmu tree and instantly saw the Chaos Pearl inside Jianmu that was devouring the vitality of creation like a black hole.
