87: Chapter 87 Hongjun Becomes a Saint

Within the Primordial World, the world-destroying black lotus fell toward the western lands, its black radiance sweeping across the world as strands of Demonic Path Qi merged into the environment.

Inside the Honghuang World, this wisp of Qi combined with the Great Dao of the world, condensing into a new Dao; this Dao was incredibly weak, even inferior to the most ordinary Daluo.

This was the new Demonic Path.

It was extremely fragile, to the point that even a Daluo could shatter it.

At this moment, Hongjun watched this scene and prepared to strike out with his palm.

He was no fool; although the Heavenly Dao had no will of its own, it possessed instincts.

The previous Demonic Path had not broken away from Honghuang; it could be said to have complemented the Primordial World, making the world more perfect.

But now, heh, things were a bit different.

This was clearly an invasion by an external object, and one with strong parasitic properties. Even if the Heavenly Dao refined it, not only would it fail to compensate for the world's deficiencies,

it would instead cause this Dao to absorb the principles and logic of the Primordial World, growing continuously.

In the end, it would feed back into Rahu, nourishing his own Dao.

How could Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao accept such a losing deal? What needed to be done now was to completely shatter this Demonic Path while it was still weak.

Power at the Quasi-Saint level manifested, shaking the heavens as he reached out toward that brand-new Demonic Path.

At that moment, a majestic phantom appeared above the world-destroying black lotus.

"Ahem, citizens of the Demonic Path, I, Rahu, am incompetent. Although I have achieved Hunyuan today, I can no longer protect you all. It is truly the incompetence of this Ancestor of the Demonic Path!"

"Inside the treasury within Mount Sumeru, there are still many resources and a few Innate Spirit Treasures left. Today, I shall distribute these things among you."

"This is the final deed I, this Ancestor of the Demonic Path, shall perform."

"Lord Demon Master, today I shall bestow the remaining Luck of the Demonic Path upon you, in hopes that you will protect the living beings of my Demonic Path."

At this time, within Mount Sumeru, streaks of light showered down upon the Primordial World; those were the various innate spiritual objects from within the Honghuang World.

Even the auxiliary personnel of the Demonic Path received them.

This was the welfare of the Demonic Path.

The resources Rahu had accumulated over the years were truly countless.

Furthermore, since these resources were all objects of the Primordial World, every single item carried immense Karma with the Primordial World.

To settle this Karma, it was inevitable that these things could not be taken away.

Rahu did not keep any of them, including some Innate Spirit Treasures.

On one hand, the Karma was too heavy, and on the other, these things were no longer of any use to him.

Whether Honghuang had a Demonic Path was somewhat crucial.

If cultivation in the Hunyuan Realm truly relied solely on one's own comprehension of the Dao, who knew how long one would have to wait?

The Demonic Path took shortcuts; as long as one's Realm was high enough, couldn't one simply snatch things like Innate Spirit Treasures and innate supreme treasures from those below the Hunyuan level?

Do not assume a Hunyuan Expert's strength is weak; every step forward in this Realm brings a qualitative change in power.

If those Chaos Demon Gods hadn't been in the Honghuang World—where Rahu contended with them in a state below Hunyuan using every means possible—they probably wouldn't have lasted three moves.

At this moment, in the west, various Innate Living Beings looked at the innate spiritual objects in their hands with tears in their eyes.

These were all blessings bestowed upon them by the Demon Ancestor; if Rahu was gone, what would become of them?

From now on, there would certainly be no more welfare benefits, nor would there be the authority to exchange for innate spiritual objects.

They would truly be just like those ordinary Innate Living Beings—forced to snatch, to fight, and to plunder.

At the foot of Mount Sumeru, the Grand Supreme Demon Master and the others looked at the Innate Spirit Treasures in their hands, somewhat dazed.

Particularly the Tongtian Demon Master; he stared at the Four Divine Swords in his hands, which carried supreme killing power, and the formation chart for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, falling into a state of bewilderment.

Four top-grade innate spirit treasures, plus a formation chart of unknown rank.

To think such things would fall into his hands.

Moreover, they included a supreme Formation named Immortal Slaying.

The value of this set was likely comparable to an innate supreme treasure.

For a moment, he was even a bit stunned.

Even more stunned was Hongjun, as he saw the remaining Luck of the Demonic Path gather into a pillar of light and descend upon him.

At the same time, the group of ancient Innate Sacred Beings who followed Rahu seemed to receive some kind of signal.

Many of them cast away their birth-treasures and rushed toward the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World outside the Honghuang World.

Rahu had sent a message telling them to go to the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon World, instructing them to drop those Magic Treasures along the way, and then told them the Opportunity to achieve Hunyuan.

Some Innate Sacred Beings were naturally decisive; at their Realm, they understood that Innate Spirit Treasures weren't necessarily good things.

After all, these weren't items they had forged themselves, but were born from within the Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao could sense them.

If they truly stepped into Hunyuan one day, these Magic Treasures would be like surveillance devices—who knew when they might stab them in the back?

Unless it was like the god slaying spear, which had been corroded by the power of a Chaos Demon God and became a killing treasure beyond the control of Honghuang.

After all, if it were truly under the control of Honghuang, it wouldn't have been used by the Innate Fierce Beasts.

At this moment, within the Primordial World, a vast pressure rose; for a time, celestial flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses gushed from the earth.

The aura on Hongjun's body finally broke through that final threshold.

A Saint—the true Realm of a Saint.

Yet there wasn't a trace of joy on his face; instead, he was full of worry. He had broken through by borrowing that last tiny bit of the Demonic Path's Luck.

This led to a certain result: although he had become a Saint, his relationship with the Demonic Path was far too harmonious.

He could even vaguely perceive the malice the Heavenly Dao held toward him.

He knew how much the Heavenly Dao loathed the Demonic Path. To progress, many of these Innate Sacred Beings would even use any means necessary.

The Heavenly Dao was even more so; its progress was different from that of the Innate Sacred Beings. As long as the world grew stronger, the Heavenly Dao could become more powerful.

Rahu had used his own power to bring the entire Demonic Path into Hunyuan; he was now perfect and flawless, but the Heavenly Dao had received no compensation whatsoever.

On the contrary, it had suffered heavy losses.

For Hongjun to actually achieve Sainthood using Demonic Path Luck—with this Karma, how could the Heavenly Dao trust him?

Hongjun's expression was somewhat unsightly. Becoming a Saint was indeed a good thing,

but if even the Heavenly Dao loathed him, could he still perform well as a Saint?

He looked toward the Void Realm, sensing the direction where the Heavenly Dao resided in the unseen.

A myriad of thoughts filled his mind. Should he find an Opportunity to kill off this Heavenly Dao?

Otherwise, being constantly loathed by the Heavenly Dao felt far too uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, he ultimately dismissed the idea.

He was a Saint, but killing the Heavenly Dao was something he couldn't do. Since that was the case, he had to find a way to make the Heavenly Dao stop rejecting him.

The position of Demon Master could not be abandoned yet; once abandoned, things would become too difficult to handle.

He looked at this world and spoke slowly:

"Sigh, Rahu, you always enjoy making others do things they are unwilling to do, but why do you give so much? It truly makes the choice difficult!"
