Deng ChanYu's space avenue is not only skilled in attack but also in defense.
The Yinyang Old Ancestor tried to trap her with an uninterrupted Yinyang Dao, but she was able to escape each time. However, her escapes were not thorough, as Yinyang is one of the foundations of the vast chaos. Where could she escape to? She couldn't escape to the chaos itself, after all. If she were to enter chaos now, she would have no help from Nu Wa or Li Shan Lao Ma to anchor her time point. If she stepped out and came back again, it would be unclear what time it was. This is the fate of Kuang Zheng, who has always been on the move.
Currently, only moving within the great chaos is possible.
She's not planning to engage in a head-on confrontation with the old man in front of her. She will only defend and not attack, mainly focusing on wearing down time. If I can delay for just one more day, I'll be back! What happens to the Yinyang Ancestor by then, whether he is steamed by Hongjun or braised, is none of my business.
The Yinyang Ancestor's Yinyang Dao is unparalleled in defense and incredibly fierce in attack.
He attacked relentlessly, trying to seize the Kunlun Mirror, but limited his power to within a hundred-mile radius to avoid unnecessary attention.
Both of them have their reservations and fight quite conservatively.
Deng ChanYu has been urging the Kunlun Mirror, but its reaction speed is truly heaven-defying, leaving her with no choice. Let's just delay and drag on.
Her strength is not as powerful as that of the Yinyang Ancestor, who is not relying on merit but is preparing to achieve enlightenment on her own.
If the Yinyang Ancestor were to survive the war between Dao and Demon, he could easily take over Hongjun's current position. It would be a natural progression for him to merge with the Dao in the future. Compared to such a ruthless individual, Deng Chanyu still has quite a gap.
She may not be able to defeat him, but she still has the ability to delay for a few years.
Now it's just a day, and she defends so tightly that not even a drop of water can penetrate.
An hour before the final time estimated by Deng Chanyu, the spiritual energy in the heavens and earth suddenly surged outwards like a spring.
The two of them were confused and stopped their attacks simultaneously.
At that moment, the sun star had just risen, and they already felt the immense pressure. Under such an indescribable weight, both spatial and yin-yang powers weakened by two degrees.
What has happened?
The answer will be revealed soon.
In the sky, auspicious clouds and radiant streams streamed in countless numbers, filled with fragrance. Countless living beings looked up at the sky, and the spirituality of all beings was greatly enhanced at this moment. Even the most stubborn stones gained enlightenment, and the toughest willow trees blossomed. All living beings who had reached a bottleneck used their intuitive feelings to gain the answers they sought in the mysterious realm.
A heavy, substantial voice resounded from the sky.
"I am Hongjun. Today, I have attained the Primordial Dao Fruit and am blessed by Heaven's heart and will. In accordance with Heaven's will, I have set up a Dao hall in the Purple Heaven Palace, located beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, for all living beings in the Chaos to come and listen."
Hongjun has become Saint!
Deng ChanYu's first thought was to run as quickly as possible! She didn't care whether it was a conscious action or not; she had come here as a stowaway. If the Hongjun after attaining Sainthood might turn a blind eye, that was one thing, but with this newly ascended Hongjun, it was another matter entirely.
The old man is not at all straightforward when it comes to using his friends as pawns or being a "licky bastard" while sharing resources.
The second thought was, f*ck, where the hell am I supposed to run to?!
Alas, it was too late. Before she could react, she grabbed the Yinyang Ancestor's wrist!
In the other party's stunned gaze, she changed into an impartial expression.
Don't think of running away, you're exactly the one I'm after!
I'm not a stowaway, I'm here to catch stowaways! Master Grandmaster, you must be fair and just, and not let us down!
"Let go of the Ancestor! Let me go!"
"Not letting go! Not letting go at all! Just not letting go!"
Deng ChanYu tightly grasped the Yinyang Ancestor's wrist and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Purple Heaven Palace to settle accounts! You have disrupted the order of the Chaos and should repent immediately!"
The Yinyang Ancestor was also a bit panicked. He kept looking up at the sky and down at Deng ChanYu, trying to get rid of this annoying person. However, without the Taichi Diagram in hand, it would take him several years to defeat Deng ChanYu.
He had been pestering Deng ChanYu, preventing her from escaping using her space avenue, but now the roles were reversed.
The Yinyang Dao is far inferior when it comes to escaping. Both were deceived by Hongjun, but Yang Mei survived while the Yinyang Ancestor perished. This difference lies in the Dao of Space, which is very skilled in escaping.
He was frustrated to the extreme: "You young generation don't understand the secrets of time! If you had given the Mirror to the old ancestor earlier, he only needed a moment to resolve all issues. In that case, the Mirror would still be yours, and you could have gone anywhere. Now? If it weren't for your interference, the old ancestor would never have gotten into this situation!"
Deng ChanYu was so angry that she laughed, "You steal my stuff and somehow justify it? This is truly the pure spirit of the Chaos era."
"Take it, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Try it yourself." She forcefully pushed the Kunlun Mirror into the other hand of the Yinyang Ancestor.
The old man was overjoyed and didn't even think twice before inputting his magic into the Mirror.
In the next moment, he was also confused.
The Kunlun Mirror had set restrictions on itself due to the previous chaotic operation by Dharma Lamp. It was impossible to start it with an overwhelming amount of power; it was necessary to obtain its permission first before it could be used to traverse time.
The Yinyang Ancestor was shocked and stunned, "What? What about the spirit of the magical artifact? You erased its spirit? How could this be?"
Deng ChanYu's face was full of bitterness, and simply by looking at her expression, she seemed to be very similar to Jie Yin.
"The spirit of the artifact is still there, but it's a bit slow. What? Don't you have any discernment? You're calling me an elder and can't even see that?"
The Yinyang Ancestor was indeed an experienced elder, and he quickly understood the situation. "Is that 'a bit' slow? That's too slow! I've never heard of anything like that. It must be the result of the power of time."
The Kunlun Mirror could not be activated, and they two would eventually be discovered by Hongjun.
No matter how vast the world of the Chaos, it can't hide from the divine awareness of a Saint.
If it's a Golden Immortal or a Taiyi, they would be seen as ants in the eyes of a Saint, possibly just glancing over them. With their exceptional strength, how could they not be discovered? It would be extremely difficult.
After some calculations, the Yinyang Ancestor proposed a suggestion: "Let's go and hide in the chaos immediately?"
Deng ChanYu held the Kunlun Mirror and shook it twice before saying, "This thing needs the time of the Chaos to be activated. What can you do in the chaos?"
The Yinyang Ancestor puffed out his cheeks: "Hongjun is my friend, so he surely won't harm me."
Deng ChanYu didn't believe a word of it. You thought I didn't see the panic on your face before? We're both on the same hook, and if I die, you're not going to get away either. Quick, think of a plan!
The Yinyang Ancestor's suggestion greatly shocked Deng ChanYu.
The old man said decisively, "Hongjun's character is strong-willed and his mind is deep. Since we can't run away, the best plan now is to take a gamble and try to trick him. We can disguise ourselves, then go to listen to the Dao he has prepared. After the listening session ends, we can return separately."
