The Primordial Mosquito Dao Chronicle
Chapter 46 Three Corpses Self-Destruct
At this moment, another person in the late stage of Quasi-Saint stepped forward and said, "Daoist Hongyun, you don't need to embarrass yourself by using such petty tricks as sowing discord. How we handle this is our business."
His audacity in uttering these words stemmed from the fact that, while there might not be anyone with higher cultivation levels than the other party, the group was divided into several sizable factions, and everyone had discussed the matter beforehand. If they were to face Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi individually, they certainly wouldn't be a match for them.
However, as an alliance, they were not afraid of two people, especially since there was only Hongyun present. The speaker was from the largest of the allied forces present, with more than ten quasi-saints. As for the Great Luo Golden Immortals on the periphery, they did not even consider them worthy of their attention.
"Come and take it if you dare."
Hongyun hadn't expected such a low-level tactic to throw the enemy into disarray. Seeing that escape was impossible, he suddenly became ruthless, took out several magical treasures, and launched them at the group behind him.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct his magical artifact! Everyone scatter!"
"Boom!...Boom! Boom!"
Before the words were finished, several explosions were heard.
The crowd halted, realizing that many had been killed or injured, mostly at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level or lower. Looking at Hongyun, their disdain was palpable. This immediately enraged the crowd, and one of them said:
"Everyone, attack together! I don't believe he has that many magical treasures left." Without waiting for a response from his own side, he charged forward first.
As soon as one person stepped forward, those with quasi-saint cultivation levels all unleashed their spiritual treasures to attack him. However, those Great Luo Golden Immortals who had been injured by the self-destruction of their spiritual treasures dared not step forward again. They knew that if the opponent attacked them a few more times like that, they would be severely injured, if not killed.
People with the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal are already at a disadvantage here. If they suffer any serious injuries, they won't even have the chance to take advantage of the chaos, and they might even be robbed.
Hongyun looked at the large number of people on the other side, yet he had no suitable magical treasures at his disposal; the few he possessed had been destroyed earlier. A bitter smile appeared on his face, for he was merely a benevolent corpse released by the true body to lure the enemy.
Once everyone had surrounded him, the Crimson Cloud Corpse became ruthless. "Since you all want the Primordial Purple Qi so much, then you'll be buried with it! Hahaha... 'Explode'!"
"Boom!"
Another loud bang rang out, but this time it was far more powerful than the previous self-destruction of the spiritual treasure. Those quasi-saints had barely reached Hongyun before, and hadn't even activated their defensive spiritual treasures, when a destructive energy wave slammed into their bodies. The scene instantly filled with dust and smoke, and even those Grand Luo Golden Immortals who were trying to take advantage of the situation on the periphery were annihilated in an instant.
No matter what, Hongyun's benevolent corpse was at the late Quasi-Saint level. The scene of its self-destruction was incredibly powerful. If the Heavenly Dao had not been repaired by Hongjun and the world had not become stable, even the Primordial World would probably have been affected.
But after all, it was a quasi-saint's self-destruction. After Rahu's self-destruction, the West experienced another major explosion.
After the smoke cleared, only two people remained. Both possessed late-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation and were protected by supreme treasures, thus escaping unscathed. However, they were also in a sorry state and seriously injured.
"Fellow Daoist Yinwei, I never expected that the kind old man from the Primordial World could be so ruthless that even ordinary people could not withstand him." The speaker was a rogue immortal. Looking at the scene where only the two of them remained, along with the fragments of spiritual treasures scattered all over the ground, and even the corpses that had not been left behind, he said with lingering fear.
The person called Yinwei was transformed from a primordial spiritual root called the Wei Tree. Just as he was about to speak, a loud "boom!" was heard.
Upon closer inspection, the two realized the explosion was thousands of miles away, where the sky was already filled with smoke and dust. They exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and both flew towards the site of the explosion.
............
Scenes like explosions were playing out in three different locations in the western part of the prehistoric world. These were all caused by Hongyun's three corpses transforming into his true form to lure others away.
However, the situation was similar for all of them. After all, although the three corpses they severed had cultivation levels of quasi-saints, they were still no match for so many people. In the end, they were all destroyed by Hongyun's self-destruction, and countless cultivators who came to seize the Primordial Purple Qi died. It would not be an exaggeration to say that less than one in ten thousand survived.
In the primordial west, on Mount Sumeru.
After Rahu was expelled from the prehistoric world, Jieyin and Zhunti built their Daoist temple here, and they kept a close eye on Hongyun's affairs. When Hongyun's three corpses all chose to self-destruct, the two looked extremely grim.
“Junior brother, I never expected that Hongyun would insist on running west. Now, I don’t know how long it will take for the West to regain its former prosperity. It’s truly hateful!” Jieyin’s bitter face was no longer as it usually was, and it even looked somewhat ferocious.
Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti sighed slightly, "Senior brother, we both still owe each other karma, so let's not say anything more now. The West is already impoverished, and Hongyun's commotion has only made things worse."
But Hongyun himself is not dead; he must have escaped. Let's go out and see if we can settle the karmic debts from back then.
When Hongyun's three corpses self-destructed, all the powerful beings in the prehistoric world naturally knew about it. However, there were only a few quasi-saints left present, and those who had been observing from the shadows all emerged, wanting to see where the other party was now.
Zhen Yuanzi, inside the Wuzhuang Temple, naturally heard the deafening explosion. After a moment's thought, he realized something had happened to Hongyun. He immediately left his seclusion and rushed towards the site of the explosion, secretly seething with resentment, thinking, "Hongyun, if I ever have the chance to become a saint, I will definitely avenge you."
And what about Hongyun himself? No one could have imagined that he had just come out of Wuzhuang Temple, leaving right after Zhen Yuanzi, and was now heading north.
If those powerful beings knew, they would probably be furious. You said you self-destructed your three corpses and then hid inside the Wuzhuang Temple. Why did you even self-destruct? You could have just hidden there and never come out. Why did you have to let them out? Isn't that obviously suicide?
But Hongyun did the opposite, his main purpose being to lure the people outside Wuzhuang Temple away. He hadn't expected to divert attention and allow his true self to leave Wuzhuang Temple safely.
He could hand over the Primordial Purple Qi, but anyone who had cultivated to this level was bound to have some pride. If he handed over his treasures at the slightest threat, he'd be finished. In his mind, Bei Ming was a decent person with a substantial fortune; even if he offered the Primordial Purple Qi, he'd exchange it for something better.
Mosquito Taoist also received a telepathic message from Styx on the way, informing him that Hongyun's self-destruction involved the Three Corpses. Styx had arrived in the West earlier and was also hiding in the shadows. With the three self-destructions occurring in corresponding locations, he could deduce that Hongyun's true form was still alive, but he had lost track of the other party's whereabouts.
Mosquito Taoist hadn't expected that being only a few days late in leaving would cause such a crucial delay, nor had he anticipated that things would unfold so quickly. However, this was not the time for complaint. He immediately sat down and began to calculate using the Xuanwu True Scripture.
