32: Chapter 28 Heavenly Punishment Appears 32: Chapter 28 Heavenly Punishment Appears Not only Di Jun, but other beings also quickly reacted and deployed their means to resist this energy tide.
Their minds couldn’t help but go blank: What exactly happened?
At this moment, Di Jun, who possessed memories of the future, already had a guess: could it be that Demon Ancestor Luo Hou detonated all the Spirit Veins in the Western Primordial?
Could this be the end of the war between Dao and Demons?
At this time, while resisting the energy tide, Di Jun was also keeping an eye on Wu Tian’s figure.
Even if the war between Dao and Demons ended, Di Jun had no intention to let Wu Tian go.
Di Jun could be very generous at times, but at other times very petty.
Wu Tian had broken the rules in the past, using his status as Daluo Golden Immortal to bully him, a mere Golden Immortal; Di Jun naturally would not forget that.
Wave after wave of the energy tide seemed to be cleansing the entire Primordial Continent, as almost all the Spirit Veins in the Western Primordial were involved.
The Western Primordial was the hardest hit, and countless Spiritual Objects of Heaven and Earth were dissipated.
Although the Eastern Primordial also experienced the impact, its Spirit Veins were intact, and the effects were much less severe than those experienced by the Western Primordial.
After the energy tide ended, everyone used their Divine Skills to look towards Mount Sumeru.
Meanwhile, Di Jun quickly approached Wu Tian, continuing to roast him with Taiyang Fire.
Wu Tian, seeing Di Jun’s actions, really wanted to curse, but he could only try his best to protect himself.
Di Jun ignored the expressions of Wu Tian, his eyes shimmering with golden light, still looking towards Mount Sumeru while multitasking.
This was a crucial moment; how could Di Jun not want to witness it?
Perhaps the location of the Execution of Immortals Array, Mount Sumeru was ultimately preserved but its Spirit Veins were severely damaged.
At this moment, the traces of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation had already disappeared; Luo Hou and Hong Jun stood opposite each other, both looking rather disheveled.
The figures of Yin Yang Ancestor, Dian Dao Ancestor, and Qian Kun Ancestor had all disappeared.
Luo Hou had a smile on his face, looking very pleased as he watched Hong Jun.
One against four, getting rid of three and dragging the only survivor into the fray, how could Luo Hou not be pleased?
Hong Jun’s expression was extremely unpleasant, his eyes filled with visible anger looking at Luo Hou.
For the usually kind and benevolent Hong Jun, this was a rare sight.
The unpleasantness on Hong Jun’s face stemmed partly from the fact that the four of them facing Luo Hou alone resulted in such a tragic situation.
Moreover, being dragged into the fray by Luo Hou, he now carried a vast amount of karma.
All the karma of the Western Primordial was shared between Luo Hou and him.
Although the main schemer was Luo Hou himself, Hong Jun and others fighting him naturally had to bear some responsibility.
Hong Jun obviously understood this, not only feeling the karma he carried but also recalling the example of the clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin.
The great battles of these clans in the past also damaged the Primordial Heaven and Earth, all carrying karma, still repaying it till now.
Now, among the four who confronted Luo Hou, only one remains, and naturally, the karma was also borne by Hong Jun.
How could Hong Jun’s face not look unpleasant?
“Luo Hou, you’re ruthless!”
With so few Spirit Veins left in the Western Primordial, how could it not be ruthless?
“Hong Jun, old Daoist, how does it feel, hahaha…”
Luo Hou asked, laughing.
Better to all fail than to be defeated alone.
Rather be shattered jade than intact pottery.
As Hong Jun was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
At the same time, Luo Hou’s expression also transformed instantly.
After being hit by the energy tidal wave, Di Jun saw clusters of purple clouds emerging in the sky above Mount Sumeru.
Moreover, these clouds were continuously gathering, with purple lightning constantly shuttling back and forth within them.
Even at a great distance from Mount Sumeru, Di Jun could feel the formidable power of the lightning within the cloud cluster.
Di Jun estimated that in his current state, he likely couldn’t withstand even one strike, even with the protection of the River Map and Luo Book.
“Heavenly Punishment!”
Atop Mount Sumeru, Hong Jun and Luo Hou looked at the rolling purple clouds and exclaimed in unison.
Without any hesitation, Luo Hou positioned the Twelve-Grade Black Lotus in front of him, attempting to withstand it with his remaining body.
Naturally, Hong Jun also dared not slack off, immediately summoning the Tai Chi Diagram, Qiankun Cauldron, Northern Profound Control Water Banner, among others, setting up multiple layers of defense.
The Qian Kun Ancestor, Dian Dao Ancestor, Yin Yang Ancestor had already perished, and Hong Jun had collected all their Spiritual Treasures.
The purple cloud cluster kept rolling, and lightning continued shuttling within, yet still had not fallen.
Both Luo Hou and Hong Jun were very puzzled.
Suddenly, the center of the purple cloud cluster dispersed, revealing a gigantic eye above Hong Jun and Luo Hou.
That enormous eye flashed with purple lightning, cold and ruthless, its pupil tightly focusing on Hong Jun and Luo Hou.
This scene also fell into the eyes of countless lives in the Primordial.
And Luo Hou and Hong Jun, being the nearest, saw it even more clearly.
Before Luo Hou could finish his sentence, Hong Jun immediately said, “This is it!”
Luo Hou and Hong Jun exchanged a look, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
Because they were very familiar with the gigantic eye surrounded by the purple clouds in the sky – it was the one on the forehead of the Beast Emperor Shen Ni.
The true form of Beast Emperor Shen Ni was a Three-eyed Golden Lion, a successor of the Destruction Demon God.
His forehead eye could gather the Destruction Law and obliterate everything.
And now, the eye in the sky closely resembled that of Shen Ni’s.
At this moment, both Hong Jun Ancestor and Luo Hou couldn’t help but recall the Beast Emperor Shen Ni’s self-sacrifice for the Dao.
Luo Hou and Hong Jun cautiously observed the gigantic eye in the sky, feeling the immense power of the thunder it contained.
This power was incomparable to the Destruction Law used by Shen Ni at that time.
Faced with such a vast force, Luo Hou and Hong Jun felt that their prepared resistance was merely a dying struggle.
At this moment, Luo Hou couldn’t help but feel regret, regretting that he had taken things too far.
He himself knew why Heavenly Punishment had appeared.
During the initial great battle between the three races, no Heavenly Punishment had appeared, and Luo Hou thought that if he went a bit overboard, it shouldn’t be a problem.
But now, the problem was quite severe.
The gigantic eye coldly watched Hong Jun and Luo Hou, yet delayed its attack.
Luo Hou and Hong Jun felt like they were awaiting judgement, extremely anxious and uneasy inside.
Since their births, this was the first time they ever felt such panic.
This wasn’t just a matter of mindset, but also an inherent terror of lifeforms, a fear of facing beings of a fundamentally higher essence than themselves.
Two rays of light shot out from the purple gigantic eye, but they were not attacks; instead, they entered into the Primordial Spirits of Hong Jun and Luo Hou.
Instantly, a flood of information appeared in the minds of Luo Hou and Hong Jun, while the purple gigantic eye quietly awaited their decision.
