"You tout your Demon Path as possessing self-worth, then why do you stand on the moral high ground and flaunt righteousness?"

"Why didn't you stand up earlier if you claim my Demon Path is without virtue?"

"You say my Demon Sect oppresses the common people, but how come I only hear you, the Immortal Dao, bellowing, and not the people speaking?"

"Could it be that you of the Immortal Dao have started to claim to 'represent the common folk'?"

Once in disguise, nobody loves.

Xuanqing, wearing a new disguise, doesn't show an ounce of courtesy to Hong Jun, who came knocking at his door; every sentence strikes right at Hong Jun's pride.

Those few words, both pointed and fierce, not only exposed Hong Jun's true face but instantly dissolved his recent public opinion offensive.

And it even slapped a label on him as an extra measure.

When it comes to public opinion, if you do not occupy the high ground, your enemy will.

Any divine being involved in big affairs knows this to some extent.

But ultimately, whether you can hold onto that high ground still depends on strength.

Faced with Xuanqing's retorts, Hong Jun smiles, his gaze indifferent. He no longer bothers with further defense, instead choosing the simplest response.

Let strength do the talking!

The aura of the Da Luo Supreme permeates, shaking the eternal time and space, causing all the demons within the domain of Sumeru Mountain to have the urge to prostrate themselves, their hearts involuntarily yearning to worship Hong Jun.

This is a trembling of the soul, an oppression from the cosmos itself, compelling one to bow in homage.

Whether it is the demon spirits or demon generals, even the lesser demons and great demons, none can resist such overwhelming pressure, their legs turn to jelly, teetering on the brink of collapse.

They almost lose any will to resist.

In the face of Hong Jun, they are like ants gazing up at a dragon, a mayfly trying to shake the heavens.

The chasm is too great, chilling to the heart and driving one to despair!

"Too harsh on the demons!"

Among the Outer Sect disciples, Fu Zhu still struggles; he's the first to break free of the suppression.

Roaring with extreme dissatisfaction, his eyes filled with endless murderous intent, he glares at Hong Jun.

"Think you can suppress our Demon Sect with power? Dream on!"

Meng Huai spits out a mouthful of blood, then wipes the corner of his mouth, defiantly looking at Hong Jun.

"Da Luo Supreme, that's it?"

"Not even enough to tickle me!"

The Sect Hierarch leads by example, and Meng Huai does not wish to show weakness.

He needs a good performance!

If they kneel now, they can forget ever standing up again!

"Pangu his grandness, Hong Jun, you're not up to par!"

"Our Demon Sect is upright and open, willing to sacrifice ourselves for the future of the Primordials, for the beings of the True Realm, to become the test of the Demon Tribulation, to aid all beings on their path of cultivation!"

"How great is this selflessness and fearlessness?"

"You're just jealous of our Demon Sect's growth and are here to cause destruction!"

"You are utterly depraved, deserving to be seated with Shen Ni!"

What do your Heaven and Demon clashes have to do with me, Shen Ni... Shen Ni, the innocent bystander, listens to Meng Huai's curses, feeling speechless inside.

"That's right, Hong Jun, old geezer, you should be sitting down with Shen Ni!"

Behind Meng Huai, one great demon form after another towers immensely between heaven and earth, Innate undying, coexisting with the Tao, dignified and inviolable, capable of presiding over the life and death of myriad spirits.

The other Outer Sect disciples also gradually break free from their constraints and come to.

These fellows, confined to various Hells, enduring torments, resisting the erosion of the Great Dao for years, still manage to enjoy themselves amidst Hell.

They dare to talk back to Xuanqing, the Prison Director and True Sect Master, when in the mood.

What to say of Hong Jun?

The pressure of the Da Luo Supreme might crush their bodies, but it cannot crush their spirits, much less their Tao!

The resurgence of each great demon causes time-space within Sumeru Mountain to tremble, and the River of Time surges mightily.

Since Heaven Creation up to present, only thrice has Sumeru Mountain witnessed such a scene.

Once when Luo Hou found the Exterminating Immortal swords, once when Xuanqing had just established the Great Sect, and this third time, when the Taisha Heavenly Palace's various reclusive beings became great demons, fully embracing the Demon Path!

At this moment, the corners of Xuanqing's mouth slightly curve up, he's in a pleasant mood.

To see all you fellows transform into ghost gods, each of you reluctant and feigning compliance.

Now that they're being coerced by Hong Jun, they actually collectively take the initiative to become great demons.

"Kill!"

A vast killing intent stirs the heavens and the earth. A host of great demons take the initiative to strike at Hong Jun, with brilliant divine light, splendid treasure light, and endless Light of Law piercing through ancient and modern times.

Darkness envelops heaven and earth; pitch-black thunder pulses through the world, cutting through time-space, leaving behind everlasting grand rifts as if bridging different Epochs, causing temporality and spatiality to overlap and misalign.

The cosmic mountains and rivers, the Four Seas, and all the phenomena of the All Heavens dim at this instant.

The void wails as if overwhelmed, shattering inch by inch.

"These great demons…" Hong Jun's gaze pierces through eternal time-space, falling upon each thread of time, and with the ability of Da Luo, probes everything, calculating the origins of this bunch.

Where did Luo Hou find these Innate Divine Beings?

Or rather, where did Shanghe Xuhuang Daojun find these great demons?

Hong Jun's gaze turns to the towering figure Xuanqing has become, ignoring the onslaught of all great demons.

What divine light, what treasure light, what grand laws and overbearing killing intents, Hong Jun dismisses it all.

A single thought from Da Luo reverses time, erasing the destructive outcome caused.

The rifts in time-space close, the upheaval in the Great Dao settles.

The Divine Powers, the ceaseless killing before it touches Hong Jun's robe, vanishes into nothingness.

As if the recent actions of the great demons had never taken place.

Is there a need for Protective Spiritual Treasures that repel all laws and all daos?

No, not at all.

A single thought is more than enough.

With one thought determined, all causes disperse.

The things I disregard, will no longer exist!

Hong Jun ignores the sprawling slaughter, and instantly, the killing dissipates.

Hong Jun ignores all the great demons, and their aura suddenly weakens, even showing signs of "degeneration"!

He stands in the void, effortlessly displaying the dreadful prowess of a Da Luo. It is terrifying!

This caused all the Taiyi Gods throughout Primordial to suck in a breath of cold air.

"Is this the strength of a Da Luo Supreme?"

The Dao of Da Luo is unknowable, immeasurable.

Now, having witnessed it with their own eyes, none of the Innate Divinities could help but exclaim in amazement.

"Hong Jun, it's no fun picking on them." Amidst Xuanqing's laughter, five divine lights of red, aqua, black, white, and gold suddenly appeared, mixing with the violent wind. Material substance was unseen, celestial principles indiscernible.

This scene gradually merged and condensed into the size of a palm, forming a golden brick.

Vast golden clouds scattered in all directions, with specks of stars twinkling brightly around, resembling the cosmos's vastness, like the Milky Way flowing. It was as if it was covered with a semi-transparent layer of azure-colored glazed glass, reflecting light, giving a fleeting and uncertain feeling.

"Eat my brick!"

Xuanqing flipped his hand and hurled it straight at Hong Jun's face.

Where the golden brick passed, it left traces of pale gold, exuding ancient divine awe and morphing into a huge palm imprint.

Slap on the face?

Hong Jun's face darkened. Do Da Luo Supremes really engage like this?

He flipped his hand and took out a Pure Water Bowl. In an instant, the River of Time appeared, swirling and raging, shaking the past and present!

Hong Jun cast out this object.

The two Spiritual Treasures collided.

In an instant, the Great Dao clashed, the Light of Law impacted, and such frightening Great Power caused Yin Yang to fall into disorderly Chaos. Earth, fire, wind, water ravaged, shredding all material substance in a violent and chaotic manner.

At that moment, Hong Jun felt alert. A mighty wave of Karma descended from the void, enveloping time and space, falling precisely upon him.

"???" Hong Jun was baffled. Where did this Karma come from?

Moreover, as a Da Luo Supreme transcending time and space, what Karma could be forcibly imposed upon him?

Just as Hong Jun was about to dispel this Karma, a streak of golden light flashed by, and the big brick hit him again.

"Daoist, why are you distracted?" With a faint smile on his face, Xuanqing looked at Hong Jun. The Heavenly Demon Tower was above him, and he frequently flung the golden brick, aiming straight for Hong Jun's face each time.

Clang!

The Pure Water Bowl kept colliding with it, space collapsed, time decayed, the universe reversed, and Chaos Qi started spreading, as if everything was returning to the beginning of Heaven Creation.

And as Xuanqing kept hurling the golden brick at Hong Jun, the Karma on Hong Jun intensified and grew heavier, even the heaven and earth began to repel Hong Jun's existence.

"What kind of method is this?" Hong Jun frowned slightly. Such a Spiritual Treasure was unheard of, not classified as Innate, and could not be deduced.

With a faint smile on his face, Xuanqing looked at Hong Jun, the golden brick flipping up and down in his hand.

"This is called 'Karmic Brick'!"

"Accept my golden brick, be burdened with Karma."

"With a single hit, all the cause and effect Karma of Infinite Time and Space shall be accounted on your body!"

"How do you like it?"

Karmic Brick? Is there such a thing as Karma?

Hong Jun felt enlightened. What sort of unserious thing is this?

He withdrew the Pure Water Bowl and unveiled an Innate Banner.

With the banner's appearance, misty and wondrous scenes spread everywhere, and an exotic fragrance permeated time and space.

In an instant, earth fire stabilized, water and wind calmed!

All negative forces vanished in a moment.

Hong Jun used this to clear the peculiar Karma from his body.

"The Cloud Realm Banner of the West?" Xuanqing recognized this item.

It was one of the Innate Five Directions Flag, transformed from the leaf of the Chaos Green Lotus, a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure with unparalleled defense and infinite uses.

"Daoist, you have quite a few nice things."

Laughing merrily, Xuanqing tucked away the golden brick and then charged towards Hong Jun with the Heavenly Demon Tower on top.

Yes, just crashing through!

The thirty-three-story tower, unparalleled in defense, brought boundless domineering might, twisting time and space as it furiously collided with Hong Jun.

Bang!!!!

The two Defensive Spiritual Treasures collided, causing a violent tremor in the void, and the eternal time and space stirred up a tempest.

Hong Jun speechless: "Is this how Defensive Spiritual Treasures are used?"

This was far from the grandeur of a great Da Luo battle he had imagined, Xuhuang Daojun's unseriousness took Hong Jun by surprise.

He pointed out a ray of light, where billions of luminous rays converged, pure and peaceful.

Moreover, misty wonders surged, a myriad of extraordinary scenes.

This gentle touch was ethereal yet terrifying to the extreme.

Hong Jun intended to bring the fight back to a more dignified engagement, to show the Primordial Gods the grandeur of their Da Luo composure.

Sadly, Xuanqing did not cooperate.

"What's it to you how I use it, take this!"

Relying on the defense of the Heavenly Demon Tower, Xuanqing ignored Hong Jun's attack and crashed through brazenly, occasionally pulling out the golden brick and aiming for Hong Jun's face when the opportunity arose.

Hong Jun had never seen such a rogue fighting method, and Xuanqing's behavior gave him a headache.

"Where is your dignity as a Da Luo Supreme?" Hong Jun was annoyed; this fellow is actually a Da Luo, utterly degrading their Da Luo Supreme standing!

Xuanqing protested in surprise: "How many of the Primordial Gods care about face?"

Not only did this leave Hong Jun speechless, but all the Primordial Gods watching the battle fell silent too.

Joking aside, which dignified deity could make it in Primordial?

In his annoyance, Hong Jun was also thinking of restoring the style of Da Luo Supreme. Then, He suddenly discovered his Protective Spiritual Treasure inexplicably turned black.

With each of Xuanqing's brash impacts, the Cloud Realm Banner actually started to exude strands of black Qi!

The Heavenly Demon Tower could not only demonize itself but also influence other Spiritual Treasures!

Hong Jun thought Xuanqing was abstracting, but in reality, He was getting serious.

"Unparalleled in defense? Break for me!"

Xuanqing threw the mighty brick, the now-blackened Cloud Realm Banner opened up its defense, allowing the golden brick to strike at Hong Jun!

Boom!!!
