Chapter 140: Suppressing Daozu, Hongjun surrenders

As the majestic and profound voice of the Emperor of Heaven echoed in the void, Daozu Hongjun's heart trembled violently, as if it was suddenly grasped by an invisible giant hand.

The connection with Heaven's Way was broken in an instant, and he lost control of Heaven's Way.

The authority of the Heavenly Dao of Dao Ancestor Hongjun was directly taken away.

At that moment, he seemed to fall from the top of an endless void, and all his strength receded like a tide.

The connection between the body and the way of heaven was like dust blown by a strong wind, dissipating into the endless void.

This was something that Daozu Hongjun could not accept at all.

Daozu Hongjun, the man who once looked down upon the world and was omnipotent, now stood there with empty eyes and a dull expression.

He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. The Emperor of Heaven, whom he once despised, actually had such powerful strength that he could easily deprive him of the authority of Heaven that he had cultivated so hard for.

His Heavenly Authority is what Daoist Ancestor Hongjun has always relied on.

Ever since the unity of heaven and earth, he has been working hard to completely control the way of heaven and to control the authority of the way of heaven.

Now Tiandaoqunabing was like a kite with a broken string, drifting in the wind and out of his control.

At this moment, he finally understood that the power of the Emperor of Heaven was far beyond his imagination. He combined the ways of humanity, earth, and heaven into the Great Way. In the name of the Emperor of Heaven and in the name of the Great Way, he directly deprived him of his authority over the Way of Heaven with just one word.

All along, what Daozu Hongjun has been trying to do is to devour the origin of the Heavenly Dao, completely control the authority of the Heavenly Dao, become the true Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric world, and make everything in the prehistoric world revolve around his will.

Now that he has perfect control over the way of heaven, he thinks he is at the top of the world and can control everything at will.

However, at this moment he felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and all his pride and self-confidence collapsed in an instant.

He couldn't accept this fact, couldn't accept that the power he had worked so hard to gain was taken away so easily.

He looked at the Emperor of Heaven in the void, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

What the Emperor of Heaven did was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Daoist Patriarch Hongjun, and more like a ruthless mockery of his long-term efforts.

Daozu Hongjun has always claimed to be the most powerful existence in the prehistoric world. Since the death of Pangu the Great, he has been dominating the rise and fall of the prehistoric continent.

After uniting the Heavenly Dao, Daoist Patriarch Hongjun has been working hard to gain complete control over the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

However, at this moment, he found that all his efforts seemed so pale and powerless in front of the Emperor of Heaven.

He looked at the Emperor of Heaven, his eyes full of reluctance and doubt, and finally couldn't help asking: "This is impossible! How can you, a mere Emperor of Heaven, deprive me of my authority over the Heavenly Dao?"

There was deep shock and confusion in his voice.

The Emperor of Heaven, who was once only the Lord of Heaven, now displayed such amazing power that Daozu Hongjun began to doubt his own cognition.

In today's prehistoric world, the Heavenly Dao has always been regarded as the supreme existence. However, at this moment, the Emperor of Heaven easily deprived him of his authority over the Heavenly Dao, which forced Daoist Ancestor Hongjun to re-examine his understanding of the prehistoric world.

He stared at the Emperor of Heaven, a horrified guess arose in his mind.

Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven has already achieved the Great Dao? This conjecture made him feel extremely shocked and terrified.

The Great Dao, that is an existence above the Heavenly Dao, even Pangu the Great Celestial Venerable had been plotted against by the Great Dao. If the Emperor of Heaven really achieved the Great Dao, how terrifying would his power be?
Daoist Patriarch Hongjun recalled his former control over the Way of Heaven, and that feeling of being omnipotent seemed to still be before his eyes.

However, at this moment, he lost all of it and became an ordinary person. He looked at the Emperor unwillingly, his heart filled with doubts and anger.

He wanted to know how the Emperor of Heaven did it, and he wanted to know if he had really lost control of the Way of Heaven.

In the ancient world, the Way of Heaven dominates everything, but this is only after the Way of Heaven retreats.

If the Emperor of Heaven has truly achieved the Great Dao, then how powerful will his power be?

Daozu Hongjun couldn't help but start thinking about his future. Does he still have a chance to regain control of the way of heaven?
If the Emperor of Heaven is really the great way above the way of heaven, what should he do?
For the first time, Daozu Hongjun's long-held confidence was completely shattered, and a bitter look appeared on his face.

The saints watched from afar this battle, this confrontation between Daoist Patriarch Hongjun and the Emperor of Heaven.

In that distant ancient era, the name of Taoist Hongjun once shook the universe like thunder. He was the pinnacle of that era and the supreme being looked up to by all living beings.

Daozu Hongjun dominated the rise and fall of one era after another, and the ups and downs of the prehistoric continent.

However, as time flies, the pattern of the ancient world also changes.

Today, the reputation of the Emperor of Heaven is as brilliant as the rising sun. In the eyes of the saints, he is already the new ruler of the prehistoric world.

The duel between these two supreme powers not only shook the entire prehistoric world, but also made all the saints feel their own insignificance.

Daoist ancestor Hongjun, the ruler of heaven, controls the operation of all things in the world;
However, the Emperor of Heaven directly suppressed the Taoist Hongjun with the power of the Great Dao.

One controls the way of heaven, the other directly acts as the Great Dao. The contest between the two makes all the saints hold their breath.

They couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw the Emperor of Heaven use the power of the Great Dao to deprive Dao Ancestor Hongjun of his authority over the Heavenly Dao.

At least until now, the Emperor of Heaven has the upper hand. They have long since joined the Heavenly Court and become the Emperor of Heaven's subjects. They have great confidence in the Emperor of Heaven's power.

As people from the Heavenly Court, they naturally did not want to see Daozu Hongjun win.

The Emperor of Heaven stood at the top of the sky, his eyes as sharp as torches, looking down at the Taoist Hongjun below.

His voice was like a spring breeze, yet it carried an irresistible majesty: "Hongjun, the gap in strength between you and me is already obvious. Are you willing to submit to me?"

Daozu Hongjun listened to the words of the Emperor of Heaven. Although he had expected this, he was still filled with reluctance.
He raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, took a deep breath, and said in a weak but firm voice: "I was born from the chaos and have survived countless disasters. How could I bow my head so easily? Heavenly Emperor, I acknowledge your strength, but it is impossible for me to surrender."

The Emperor of Heaven nodded slightly, as if he had already anticipated Daozu Hongjun's insistence.

He looked at Daozu Hongjun, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but then turned into indifference.

No matter what, Daozu Hongjun was once the number one person in the prehistoric world. He possessed immense pride and self-esteem and would not surrender easily.

However, the power of the Emperor of Heaven is not empty talk.

He stood there, as if he had merged into one with the entire universe. The three thousand great ways turned the world upside down in his hands, and nothing could stop him.

Although Daozu Hongjun is also a powerful being who dominates the heaven and earth, he seems powerless in front of the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven said calmly, "At this point, are you still hoping for luck?"

Daozu Hongjun made another move. He let out a long roar and mobilized the power of the Dao in the entire prehistoric world. Countless rays of light gathered around him, forming a long and dazzling river of Dao.

However, all this seemed so pale and powerless in front of the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven just lightly tapped, and endless light emanated from his fingertips, as if the entire universe was compressed into one point.

When Daozu Hongjun's attack touched this point, it disappeared without a trace. Daozu Hongjun's face turned pale instantly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. He knew that the gap between him and the Emperor of Heaven was so big that it could not be made up. However, even so, he still did not give up. He struggled to stand up, with an unyielding light in his eyes.

The Emperor of Heaven looked at Daozu Hongjun and said calmly, "It's over. I will destroy your luck now."

Before he finished speaking, the Emperor of Heaven once again mobilized the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Countless rays of light converged into a huge beam of light, directly suppressing Daozu Hongjun on the spot.

At this moment, the entire prehistoric world seemed to have stopped, with only the Emperor of Heaven and Taoist Hongjun still standing there.

The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand lightly, and the power of the three thousand great ways swept in like a violent storm, tightly binding the Taoist Hongjun.

Daozu Hongjun felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain, and his heart was surging.

The cold gaze of the Emperor of Heaven was like eternal ice. He directly used the Three Thousand Great Daos to firmly suppress Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, and he could completely wipe out this former number one man in the prehistoric world at any time.

There was a hint of impatience in his tone as he slowly spoke: "Hongjun, I have given you many chances. Now, I ask you again, surrender or die."

Daozu Hongjun, the powerful man who once dominated the prehistoric world for countless epochs, now felt unprecedented oppression.

He looked up at the almighty Emperor of Heaven. Although his heart was filled with resentment, he felt more helpless.

He knew that the power of the Emperor of Heaven was beyond his imagination. If he did not know the current situation, he would end up being reduced to ashes.

Faced with the choice between life and death, Daoist Patriarch Hongjun took a deep breath, and a trace of bitterness flashed across his face.

He always stands on a high place, looking down on all living beings. Even saints are nothing but ants in his eyes.

However, at this moment, he became the one being looked down upon.

This huge gap made him feel unprecedentedly unwilling.

But what can I do if I am not as strong as others?

Daozu Hongjun took a deep breath, he knew he had no way out.

He doesn't want to die.

The instinct of survival forced him to make a choice.

He spoke slowly, his voice trembling a little as he said: "I am Hongjun, the poor Taoist, and I greet the Emperor of Heaven. I am Hongjun, the poor Taoist, and I wish to enter the Heavenly Palace."

This unruly Taoist priest lowered his proud head at this moment.

If the gap between him and the Emperor of Heaven is small, he can still give it a try.

But the problem now is that the gap between him and the Emperor of Heaven is the gap between the Way of Heaven and the Way of the Great Dao, or even farther.

The Emperor nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

As he waved his hand, the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos gradually dissipated, and the restraints on Hongjun also disappeared.

"Since you are willing to enter the Heavenly Court, from now on, you will be a member of the Heavenly Court."

The Emperor's voice was calm and majestic.

Daozu Hongjun stood up, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

He knew that although he had saved his life, from now on he would no longer be the almighty Taoist Hongjun.

He will become a member of the Heavenly Court and be subject to the jurisdiction and constraints of the Emperor of Heaven.

What can I do if my skills are not as good as others?

Above the thirty-third heaven, the gazes of all the saints were focused on one place, and the scene there shocked them all.

The originally calm atmosphere seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and the waves in everyone's hearts surged.

Although they had already anticipated the outcome of the battle, when they actually witnessed this shocking scene, their hearts were still filled with incredible shock.

Taoism ancestor Hongjun has been a supreme being who has been high above and overlooking all living beings since ancient times. Every decision he makes is enough to affect the changes in the entire world.

However, at this moment, the Taoist Hongjun actually lowered his head. The powerful man who once looked down upon the world, at this moment, only felt awe for the Emperor of Heaven.

This scene was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's heart. They seemed to see the rules of heaven and earth being broken at this moment, and a new order being quietly established.

All the saints in heaven were shocked by this sudden change, and their hearts were filled with indescribable emotion.

Following the Taoist Hongjun’s deep bow and his head lowered.

The era of the Great Dao Heaven in the true sense of true knowledge has truly begun.

At this moment, the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven enveloped the entire prehistoric world, and everyone felt unprecedented shock and admiration at this moment.

From this moment on, praises to the Heaven were heard in every corner of the ancient world.

Whether it is the land beyond the thirty-three heavens, or the underworld beneath the nine netherworlds.

Whether it is the saint who looks down on all living beings, or the Taoist who dominates the heaven and the earth, they are all under the rule of the Heavenly Court.

The joining of Taoist Hongjun brought endless fortune to the Heavenly Court.

From the moment Daozu Hongjun joined the Heavenly Court, the luck of the Heavenly Court surged like a torrent above the thirty-three heavens.

That majestic destiny seemed to be able to overwhelm everything, shocking all the cultivators.

At this moment, the great world of prehistoric times seemed to have entered a brand new era. The prestige of the Great Dao Heavenly Court was shining like the sun at its zenith, illuminating the entire continent.

Under the reflection of this great heaven, the prehistoric world truly showed its perfect side.

Every inch of land and every piece of sea are bathed in the blessings of the Great Dao Heaven and are full of vitality.

Under the nourishment and watering of luck, every corner of the prehistoric continent seemed to be given new life, and they began to recover at an astonishing speed.

The originally silent mountains seem to be injected with new vitality at this moment, full of green and vitality.

Rivers, lakes and seas have regained their vitality, with surging waves and roaring water.

When Zhen Yuanzi used the Classic of Mountains and Seas to sort out the veins of the prehistoric land, it brought about the first revival of the prehistoric land.

And now the prehistoric continent is reviving for the second time.
