Chapter 2012 The Price of Power

Wu Daozi is not a good person. He has been scheming for eternity, hiding the fragments of his will in the Jade Body of Heavenly Dao and the Three Corpses Method of Proving the Dao, and secretly integrating them into the bodies of Zhang Qian and Hongjun who practiced these two methods respectively, and has been lurking for so long.

Now that one of the fragments of will has finally become one with Hongjun's soul, doesn't Wudaozi want to completely devour Hongjun's will and replace it?
Hongjun used Wudaozi's power, and the price he paid was likely extremely heavy.

The fact was the same as Zhang Qian had guessed. Hongjun's soul was undergoing strange changes at this moment. Ever since he accepted Wudaozi's power and used it to deal with Shiyuan Shengzun, a terrible will, along with Wudaozi's breath, rushed out from the depths of his soul. This terrible will attacked his will like crazy.

Although it was just a clash of wills, Hongjun felt a splitting headache and his soul seemed to be torn apart. The pain that touched his soul made him want to go crazy.

He could only hold it back and maintain an indifferent expression.

Hongjun paid such a huge price for using Wudaozi's power for the first time, so how could he dare to continue using it? He could only use words to force Shiyuan Shengzun and try to scare him away.

"Wudaozi, you are indeed plotting against me!"

The angry Hongjun asked in his heart.

"Humph, you and I have now merged into one. I am a transcendental strongman, and I should be the master. Your will will be replaced by mine! Don't worry, after I devour your will, I will live on as you, become a saint, reach the realm of heaven, and even transcend the universe!"

Wu Daozi's voice of Tao reverberated in Hongjun's heart, and the will that was attacking him became stronger and stronger, and while it was attacking him, it was also constantly devouring his will!

It felt like billions of ants were biting at my soul, it was extremely painful.

It was only because Hongjun's character was strong enough, otherwise he would have cried hysterically.

"you……!"

On the other side, when Saint Shi Yuan heard Hongjun's threat, he also hesitated. He stared at Hongjun with an indifferent look, sensing the other party's terrifying transcendent aura, and his originally firm heart slowly wavered.

"Are we really going to leave now? This is the best chance for me to attain the Sainthood!"

However, Saint Shi Yuan was extremely unwilling to give in. For him, now was the best opportunity to become a saint. If he missed it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait and how many unimaginable changes would happen.

"I have lived a second life, coming from the Infinite World to the Primordial World, and I have given up everything I had before. Is this to retreat? I once retreated in front of Emperor Fentian, and I also retreated in front of the Divine Heaven Sect. Am I going to retreat again in this Primordial World?"

The unwilling Saint Shi Yuan became resolute.

He didn't want to retreat again. He had retreated countless times and lost many opportunities. Now he was facing the best chance of becoming a saint in the prehistoric times and he was unwilling to retreat again!
“Hongjun, I am the Lord of Samsara, a Golden Immortal of the Great Primordial Realm, blessed by heaven and favored by the Tao! You cannot kill me, so today, even if I lose my entire essence, I will fight you to the end!”

The Saint Lord Shiyuan no longer retreated and burst out with a terrifying will. The power of the primordial heaven and the majesty of the universe were added to his body, causing his aura to surge, and he could barely compete with Hongjun's transcendent aura.

Saint Shi Yuan obviously does not want to repeat Zulong's old path and does not want to give up this opportunity to become a saint. What's more, what he said is true. He is the Lord of Reincarnation and has the authority of reincarnation in his hands. Unless the prehistoric reincarnation collapses, he will not perish no matter what. Even if all his origins are broken up by Hongjun, he will return to the place of reincarnation and slowly recover. It just takes an extremely long time.

"you……!"

Seeing that Saint Shiyuan was ready to fight to the death, Hongjun became hesitant. He was sure that if he continued to use Wudaozi's power to deal with Saint Shiyuan, his will would further collapse and he would be devoured by Wudaozi even faster.

This was something he didn't want to see at all.

"Hongjun! He is provoking you. What are you waiting for? Use the power of this ancestor to destroy him. It's not like you can't do it! Act quickly and use his life to establish your invincible reputation!"

Wu Daozi's voice was full of bewitching power, which was madly affecting Hongjun's will. At the same time, it was also devouring Hongjun's will in different ways. With these two methods working together, Hongjun's face gradually became distorted.

The right half of his face changed and instantly turned into Wudaozi's appearance. The completely different left and right cheeks were extremely strange.

This strange appearance shocked the immortals of the three realms, and they didn't understand what was wrong with Hongjun. "Shut up!!"

Hongjun suddenly roared towards the sky, covered his head and started hammering it like mad.

Dong Dong Dong...!
He pounded his head with his fists like a madman!
"What...what's going on?"

"Has Hongjun gone crazy?"

"Why is this happening? Wasn't he fine just now? And why did his appearance change so strangely?"

Dou Mu Yuan Jun, Yang Mei Lao Zu and other powerful people were all surprised.

"Hahahaha, my bet was right!"

Saint Shi Yuan laughed wildly. After retreating countless times, he finally stopped retreating and risked everything to overcome the hurdle in his heart. His state of mind broke through and he made the right bet.

Seeing Hongjun's crazy look, he did not take the opportunity to attack, but instead summoned the Hongmeng Wanxiangtu again.

The treasure map shows the current scene of the southern land. The true forms of the three thousand primordial laws are immersed in the treasure map, and billions of law threads are once again spread out to continue changing the laws of the southern land!

"Wudaozi, if you don't stop, I would rather destroy my own soul than let you succeed!"

The crazy Hongjun suddenly roared in anger. He could no longer endure the pain that was devouring his soul and the pain of the clash of wills.

However, Wu Daozi did not respond at all, as he was certain that Hongjun could not destroy his own soul.

"Wudaozi? Who is that?"

"What is Hongjun talking about?"

"Who is Wudaozi? Could it be that..."

Hearing the name Wudaozi from Hongjun's mouth, the sentient beings in the three realms talked about it a lot, and many immortals and gods had some speculations about Hongjun's situation.

"Has he been possessed by someone?"

"No, there should be another will in his soul!"

It has to be said that there are many discerning people in the Three Realms who have guessed some clues through Hongjun's changes.

Zhang Qian was still in shock. He understood very well how tough Hongjun's character was. With Hongjun's terrifying character, he cried out in pain and beat his head like a madman.

"If I hadn't discovered Wu Daozi's plan and hadn't given up the Heavenly Dao Jade Body, wouldn't I be even more miserable than Hongjun!"

In order to get rid of Wudaozi's calculations and to completely give up the Heavenly Jade Body, he blew up half of his body. But that was only the pain of his body, while Hongjun was experiencing the pain of his soul at this moment.

Swish!
It was as if the crazy Hongjun opened a door to the void with his last bit of sanity, disappeared, and hurried back to Liangjie Mountain and his own Zixiao Palace, without continuing to make a fool of himself in front of the sentient beings of the Three Realms.

But this short moment of madness has already made him lose all face.

Daoist Yuan Lei had never been convinced by Hongjun, but when he saw Hongjun's extremely painful expression, he felt as happy as if he had eaten honey, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
