Chapter 675: Chapter 79: Shocking Change in Hongmeng, The Supremes Arrive, Fellow Daoist, Please Stay

"All of you are Righteous Immortals, willing to follow me, Old Sun, to strike down that vicious old fiend who uses living people for alchemy. After this, the Celestial Duke will surely reward us, and our ranks will all be promoted!"

He paused, his expression growing solemn.

"But you must not let your guard down. I’ll say it again: that old fiend is no ordinary character. He is incredibly powerful. Even a Female Immortal under his command possesses heaven-reaching might!"

Yang Jian nodded slightly. His Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade flared with a sky-rending light as he spoke in a deep voice,

"Monkey, enough talk. Just lead the way. I’m eager to see which Immortal dares to use living people for alchemy!"

Nezha also nodded, his expression murderous.

"Using living people for alchemy is a violation of the law. I don’t care who he is or how powerful he is. He’ll still have to take a trip to the Immortal Slaying Platform to be struck by celestial lightning and suffer ten thousand tribulations!"

Zhu Wuneng, once again Marshal Tianpeng, pounded his chest with a loud THUMP THUMP THUMP.

"Great Mas... Sun Monkey, I, the Marshal, will also risk my life for this noble cause today! Just as Nezha said, I don’t care who that old fiend is or how heaven-reaching his powers are. We’ll just slay him!"

Zhu Wuneng was impassioned and fired up, but he had it all figured out. His thoughts were exactly the same as everyone else’s.

’That so-called old fiend is most likely part of a scheme by some Supreme Being. He might even be a pawn placed by the Celestial Duke or Elder Lu.’

’If things go as expected, it’s probably some old bald donkey from the Buddhist Sect...’

’Heh heh, I’ll just blend in with the crowd and leech off some merit. Wonderful, wonderful!’

Sun Wukong nodded heavily, gripping his Dog-Beating Stick tightly.

"Fellow Daoists, all of you are Righteous Immortals! Follow me, Old Sun! We go forth to storm the Celestial Palace, slay the evil Immortal, and eliminate this wicked treachery!"

He raised the Ruyi Dog-Beating Stick high, his voice like a great bell, deafening and clear. Just as he was about to speak again, something happened.

"What is that?"

The General of the Rolling Curtain frowned, looking up in alarm. Everyone else instinctively raised their heads and saw a vast, majestic river manifesting, pressing down upon the Celestial Realm!

"Is that..."

Yang Jian’s expression turned grave. "The River of Time?"

He opened the third eye on his forehead to peer into it. His expression shifted to one of shock as he saw a Treasure Raft sailing upstream against the current of the River of Time, and several majestic Existences striving to cross it!

"It seems... something major has happened?"

Venus spoke softly, the hairs on his arms standing on end. His expression was incredibly grim, for he had recognized the Supreme Beings who were crossing back through time at a glance.

"That’s the Buddha Mother, and that’s the Demon Ancestor..."

He muttered to himself as a thousand thoughts raced through his mind. ’Could it be that something else monumental has occurred?’

「In the River of Time.」

"To Hongmeng! To Hongmeng!"

The Supreme Beings rose one after another, their expressions solemn. A world-shaking change had occurred in Hongmeng, but they couldn’t see the details, which was a very bad sign.

"Primordial has been suppressed! Without Primordial in Hongmeng, we have nothing to fear!"

The Demon Ancestor took the lead, stepping onto a Treasure Raft to travel up the River of Time. Hongmeng was unlike any other place; reaching it meant crossing beyond The Beginning of Ancient Times. Moreover, because Primordial had previously dominated the dawn of creation, no one who had attained a Dao Fruit had ever dared to venture into Hongmeng. Nobody knew what the situation there was.

Thus, they were all extremely vigilant.

The graceful Demon Ancestor rode her Treasure Raft upstream. The Ancient Bodhi Buddha, seated upon a Lotus Platform, also clove open the River of Time, charging toward the era before the Heaven Opening.

Fu Xi, for his part, stood on the River Map and Luo Book, his expression grave. Most matters were within his control, as most regions had a version of ’him’ present.

The only exception was Hongmeng.

Therefore, Fu Xi was also exceptionally cautious. He communicated with his countless selves, his eyes reflecting hundreds of millions of faces, carrying the true fate of hundreds of millions of living beings as he sought to perceive everything.

The last to follow was the Buddha Mother. She vomited out the Great Belly Buddha, using him as a shield to block her surroundings and protect her own Physique. Cautiously, she too strove to cross toward Hongmeng!

"To Hongmeng! To Hongmeng!"

The four Supreme Beings spoke in unison. Their solemn, majestic voices surged through the entire River of Time, shaking every realm.

In the Celestial Realm, Sun Wukong and the others also heard the great cry of "To Hongmeng!" and were all shaken to the point of dizziness.

"What is Hongmeng?" Nezha subconsciously muttered to himself.

"What are they going to do?" Venus also asked in alarm.

At the side, Sun Wukong shook his head, baring his teeth.

"Who cares what those fellows are up to! Who cares what Hongmeng is! Let’s go take care of that old fiend first!"

"Of course!"

"That’s right!"

The Immortals all responded in agreement and immediately followed Sun Wukong, advancing toward a certain part of the Celestial Vault!

"Alchemy with living people! He must be slain! Must be slain!"

Sun Wukong sang loudly along the way. Full of heroic spirit, he glanced back at the crowd of Righteous Immortals and said with a laugh,

"With all of your help, no matter how powerful that old fiend is, he will surely meet his doom!"

Marshal Tianpeng raised his Nine-toothed Nail Rake high, unwilling to miss this chance to either make a name for himself or leech off a great deal of merit. He declared heroically,

"Sun Monkey, let me, the Marshal, be the vanguard this time! You’ve made that old fiend sound so terrifying. I, the Marshal, would like to see if he can survive more than three breaths under my Nail Rake!"

"Good, good, very good!"

Sun Wukong nodded emphatically. The group followed behind him, traveling across the sky. But the further they went, the more Yang Jian felt something was amiss. This path...

Why does it seem like we’re heading toward the [Supreme Celestial Realm]?

Could that old fiend be in the [Supreme Celestial Realm]?

He shook his head, not overthinking it. He just tightened his grip on his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade and followed quietly from behind as Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng led the charge, marching proudly and full of spirit.

At this moment, various Immortal Gods glanced over, looking at this group with surprise. Even Haotian, who was grimly trying to peer into Hongmeng, couldn’t help but turn his head to stare for a moment.

’What kind of madness is this?’

Haotian shook his head without giving it much thought. He turned his gaze back toward Hongmeng, trying to see, trying to probe, his expression grave.

"Hongmeng... what has happened?"

He could clearly feel that something momentous was occurring. His own fundamental Great Dao was trembling violently!

’Is it Xiaoxuan?’

As he muttered to himself, Sun Wukong’s group had already reached the [Supreme Celestial Realm].

"We’re close!"

He boomed, brandishing the Ruyi Dog-Beating Stick. He stirred up the clouds and winds, causing the entire Celestial Vault to tremble violently, as if on the verge of collapse!

Sun Monkey raised his Dog-Beating Stick high and brought it smashing down.

"Old fiend in Douluo Palace, come and meet your doom!"

Marshal Tianpeng, the self-proclaimed vanguard eager for merit, followed suit, raising his Nine-toothed Nail Rake and shouting,

"That old fiend in Douluo Palace, surren... Huh???"

He froze abruptly, but his hands didn’t stop. The Nine-toothed Nail Rake, along with the Dog-Beating Stick, smashed down toward Douluo Palace.

......

「Hongmeng.」

"So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is..."

Lu Xuan sat quietly in meditation, his eyes tightly closed. Myriad wonders manifested around him, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he had glimpsed the Great Dao.

He was glowing.

To be precise, it was the Creation Jade Scroll inside him that was glowing. The light illuminated all of Hongmeng!

"Xiaoxuan... seems to be at a very critical juncture."

The Lame Daoist spoke softly, glancing toward the River of Time. He watched the four Supreme Beings who were striving to cross over and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We need to buy some time for Xiaoxuan."

"Indeed..." Supreme slowly took a step forward. The Goddess also approached. The three Supreme Beings stood quietly, protecting the closed-eyed Lu Xuan behind them.

「A moment later.」

With a hum and a CRACK, the Boundary between The Beginning of Ancient Times and Hongmeng was shattered. A Treasure Raft suddenly arrived, a Lotus Platform drifted in, Fu Xi strode in upon his book, and the Buddha Mother pressed her palms together!

They had all arrived.

"So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is..."

The closed-eyed Lu Xuan was still smiling, still sighing, as if he had truly glimpsed the Great Dao.

And he had indeed glimpsed the Great Dao.

The Three Thousand Great Dao lay beside him, shining brilliantly.
