Primordial: I, Dijun, Only Want to Build the Great Desolation-Chapter 340 - 252: End of the Battle_2

His mood was heavy, but his face showed no change, believing that he still had a considerable chance of winning.

However, soon, his expression changed and was no longer as before.

He wanted to draw in the Chaos Qi around him to replenish his own consumption, although Chaos Qi was not as good as Innate Spiritual Energy, after all it could still serve as a supplement.

However, being within the Celestial Heaven Star Formation, the Chaos Qi of the Celestial Heavens was either transformed into Innate Spiritual Energy to nourish the formation or shattered by the starlight that streaked everywhere.

Ordinary starlight naturally could not shatter Chaos Qi, but what about starlight containing Laws and Spiritual Power?

Taiching Laozi also considered directly refining the Star Power of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation.

Even though this Star Power was offensive in nature, after filtering through the two Supreme Treasures, the Tai Chi Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower, he could still absorb it.

Even if it was slower, it was still a way to restore himself.

After all, to maintain the power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower and the Tai Chi Diagram, Taiching Laozi had expended no small amount of Mana.

However, among these Star Powers, Taoist Tai Ching felt the presence of power at an equal level.

In this case, he could not absorb these Star Powers.

Allowing energy with the same level of power to enter one’s body is undoubtedly giving others an opportunity.

At this point, Taoist Tai Ching completely lost the means to obtain energy from the external world.

Of course, he was not yet at a point of complete desperation.

The Mana within his body had not yet been depleted, and the countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his hands were also unused.

Only now did he understand.

He was not a match for Di Jun, and to continue persisting would merely waste more time and deplete the resources he held.

He could not draw energy from the Chaos, but Di Jun did not have this restriction.

"Sigh!"

Maintaining the two treasures, Taiching Laozi let out a heavy sigh.

Di Jun naturally heard the sigh.

Taoist Tai Ching was within his Spiritual Illusion Realm, and his every move was naturally of concern to Di Jun.

However, Di Jun did not change anything; the power of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation remained undiminished, and there was even a trend of increasing strength over time.

Taoist Tai Ching also noticed this trend, and as the power of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation increased, he felt his connection with Heavenly Dao weakening continuously.

He knew that he could not continue to wait any longer.

"Demon Emperor, I am willing to withdraw from the contention for the Kongtong Seal and ask that the Demon Emperor disband this Celestial Heaven Star Formation."

Taoist Tai Ching made every effort to maintain his composure as he spoke calmly.

In his eyes, thick disappointment flashed by.

He was a Saint, after all, how could he not feel despondent when still unable to defeat Emperor Jun?

At the moment of speaking, Taiching Laozi felt a profound sense of loss.

It was not just about not defeating Di Jun; it also included the feeling of losing the Human Clan’s fateful Supreme Treasure, the Kongtong Seal.

Di Jun, upon hearing Taoist Tai Ching’s words, knew there was no need to continue the battle.

He could not truly bring about the downfall of this high and mighty Saint of the Primordial World here.

Di Jun also knew that he did not have the power to defy Heavenly Dao.

Even though the connection between this Saint and the Heavenly Dao had been weakened step by step by him, when it came to the life-and-death crisis of the Saint, there would be unforeseen changes.

He believed that if it came to that, Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor would surely appear.

By then, the situation would no longer be under Di Jun’s control.

Do not think that by entering the Chaos, one is free from the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

The control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao in Chaos is weakened, but it does not mean it does not exist.

Otherwise, how would the Purple Cloud Palace, Nuwa Palace still be under the management of Heavenly Dao?

Therefore, not long after hearing Taoist Tai Ching’s words, the operation of the Celestial Heaven Star Formation began to slow down.

The River Map and Luo Book also changed, the originally surging Star Power turned into a surge inward.

Streams of starlight were absorbed into the River Map and Luo Book, becoming the foundation of the text.

The starlight dispersed, and the River Map and Luo Book vanished, revealing the figures of three hundred and sixty-five ’Emperor Juns.’

Among them, three hundred and sixty-four ’Emperor Juns’ transformed into three hundred and sixty-four rays of light, converging into the body of the remaining one ’Emperor Jun.’

Taiching Laozi merely watched as the three hundred and sixty-five Emperor Jun incarnations merged into a single Emperor Jun.

The remaining Emperor Jun, whether it be his aura or cultivation realm, appeared unchanged from before, with no noticeable difference.

Seeing this, Taiching Laozi also retracted the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Treasure Tower and the River Map and Luo Book above his head.

"Daoist Di Jun, what a clever technique," Taiching Laozi remarked as he looked at the last Emperor Jun, his tone carrying hints of loss and envy.

Defeating a Saint, this was probably the first instance in the Primordial World.

The thought of becoming the first Saint to be defeated in the Primordial World made his complexion unfavorable.

"Taiching Saint, you flatter me," said ’Emperor Jun’ with a smile.

"I wonder if the Emperor Jun before me right now is an incarnation or the true body?" Taiching Laozi curiously inquired as he gazed at Emperor Jun.

He truly couldn’t tell; generally, incarnations have a lower cultivation realm and a weaker aura than the true body.

But in front of Emperor Jun, this principle did not apply; his true body and incarnations, their auras and cultivation realms, were exactly the same.

The true body serving as an incarnation and the incarnation as the true body, it’s hard to distinguish.

"Taiching Saint, since you have already forsaken the Kongtong Seal, is this question still important?" ’Emperor Jun’ said, without directly answering Taiching Laozi’s question.

Just as he said earlier, the significance of this question wasn’t substantial.

Hearing Emperor Jun’s response made Taiching Laozi pause in bewilderment, then he replied, "As Daoist Di Jun stated, I have lost already, whether the Demon Emperor before me is the true body or an incarnation, indeed, it does not matter."

Then, he thought about that power on par with a Saint and couldn’t help asking, "Daoist Di Jun, have you already reached the realm of the Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

This question was also posed by Nuwa when she became a Saint, and Emperor Jun had answered truthfully at that time.

Emperor Jun’s answer today did not change; he replied truthfully.

"Not yet, I am still very far from reaching the realm of Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Emperor Jun answered truthfully, his expression filled with longing.

He has not yet fully embraced all that the Heavenly Realm has to offer, let alone the Primordial Heavenly Dao; and the Heavenly Dao is not entirely representative of the Primordial World.

The path of the Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal is long and arduous.

Hearing Emperor Jun’s answer, the Taiching Saint fell into contemplation.

The power he sensed was not false, yet he could also feel that Emperor Jun was not lying, not concealing anything, and that look of yearning was not feigned.

After all, Emperor Jun had defeated him, a Saint, so lying and hiding had no meaning.

However, such a statement by Emperor Jun made his heart even more sorrowful.

Not yet a Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet he had already defeated himself as a Saint.

The Taiching Saint did not wish to continue facing Emperor Jun here, thus he proposed to take his leave.

Emperor Jun did not stop him, watching as the figure of Taiching Laozi grew distant, leaving the realm of his Spiritual Illusion Realm.

Afterward, the last ’Emperor Jun’ transformed into specks of starlight, dissipating into nothingness.

Emperor Jun also retracted his Spiritual Illusion Realm.

From beginning to end, Taiching Laozi never discovered the true strength of Emperor Jun, the Spiritual Illusion Realm.

The Spiritual Illusion Realm was the foundation of Emperor Jun’s battle this time, the very basis of the fight.

If one cannot discover this point, then all of Taiching Laozi’s speculations would be incorrect.

The trump card of Emperor Jun remained undiscovered.

As for the matter of defeating Taiching Laozi, Emperor Jun also did not feel overly joyful.

Just as the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou once said, these Saints, who have attained enlightenment through merit, still have a weak foundation at this time, and defeating them is not something to be overly proud of.

As he saw off Taiching Laozi, Emperor Jun did not linger within the Primordial World, continuing to traverse space, returning to the midst of the Primordial World.
