Just as Hongjun was momentarily stunned, Yuan Feng stared at him with a meaningful smile and said:
"Fellow Daoist, what are you thinking? My identity is very clear. If Fellow Daoist inquires among the other Innate Sacred Beings, you will know.
However, I truly have a slight doubt. Is Fellow Daoist truly a World Sacred Being? Does such a Dao truly exist within the Primordial World?"
A trace of doubt appeared on Yuan Feng's face. It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but the Dao of the World encompassed too much.
Just hearing the name, one knows this is about creating worlds, or even focusing on the world itself. The Primordial World can also be counted as a world.
Even Great Daos like the Five Elements and Yin and Yang can be included within the world.
When these words came out, Hongjun was stunned. This was truly the first time someone had doubted his identity.
After all, the worlds surrounding him were countless. Within these worlds, countless Laws and Daos could evolve, and the power of countless Laws gathered, condensing into a River of Laws.
Coupled with the blessing of World Power, he was not considered weak, even among the Innate Sacred Beings.
For example, Yang Mei and Shichen even believed this point.
Hongjun looked at Yuan Feng. Regardless of what he was thinking internally, he said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist is joking. Look at the boundless worlds surrounding me. How could there be even a trace of falsehood? Fellow Daoist's words, I'm afraid, hurt me too much."
After Yuan Feng heard this, she chuckled and looked at Hongjun, saying coldly:
"Heh heh, is that so? A mere Cultivator of the Dao of the World cannot inflict much damage on me. Moreover, just now, the Origin within many of the worlds inside your body was lost. If Fellow Daoist insists on this, then don't blame me for being impolite."
As she spoke, the Phoenix True Fire on her body surged, rushing toward Hongjun.
When Hongjun heard this, a look of realization appeared on his face. No wonder That One was suspicious. It turned out that the pangu banner had devoured too much Origin within his body, which led Yuan Feng to suspect him.
But looking at this scene, he wasn't afraid in the slightest. He didn't even use the pangu banner, merely extending his hand to lightly grasp the Phoenix Divine Fire.
No matter how much the Divine Fire struggled or how powerful it was, it still couldn't escape his grasp.
Yuan Feng looked at this scene, and a trace of dread appeared in her eyes. This seemed to be a characteristic of the Great Luo Dao. This person had also Cultivated Hongjun's Great Luo Dao.
This fellow, it seems, is like them, usually proactive and enterprising, which is vastly different from people like Yin and Yang and Yang Mei.
Those fellows only know how to Cultivate the Great Dao, with the ultimate goal of letting their Dao escape Honghuang and transcend the limitations of Honghuang.
To achieve this step, one must accumulate boundless power, which is the so-called Proving the Dao with Power.
But accumulating insights bit by bit and elevating the Great Dao—how easy is it to reach that level?
In this process, external support is absolutely indispensable. For example, That One, Luohu, studied with Hongjun and established the gender of Yin. The other Innate Sacred Beings took action, but she did not.
Nothing else. She does not believe this is wrong. On the path of pursuing the Great Dao, there is no right or wrong—only winning or losing.
Victory is victory, defeat is defeat.
Although a trace of appreciation flashed in Yuan Feng's eyes, and a hint of approval, she did not stop. How could an existence like her, who pursues the Great Dao, not try the Great Luo Dao?
At this moment, her power was completely unhidden. Above Mount Buzhou, a massive Phoenix Phantom manifested, stretching for an unknown distance. Threads of Phoenix Divine Fire clung to the colossal Phoenix body.
The colossal Phoenix body pressed down toward Hongjun. Not just in this space-time, but across countless space-times—past and future—the two were constantly fighting.
This kind of battle pits the number of timelines against the strength of each timeline's Incarnation.
As the pioneer of the Great Luo Dao, Hongjun's strength was naturally not to be underestimated. His Great Dao permeated the past and present space-time. Battles were raging in every space-time, and Yuan Feng gradually showed signs of decline.
At this moment, a Phoenix Cry rang out within the Honghuang World. Yuan Feng's aura drastically changed, the Phoenix figure appeared, and threads of Karma connected to her body.
"Fellow Daoist, you truly have great methods. I didn't expect you to walk deeper down the Great Luo Dao than I have. Since that is the case, then let me show you my methods."
As she spoke, countless True Phoenix and True Fenghuang phantoms condensed behind her. A look of solemnity appeared on Hongjun's face. He was surprised that such a method was possible.
The Phoenix Clan had actually already appeared now.
Looking at those True Phoenix and True Fenghuang phantoms, a realization dawned in his heart: those phantoms of True Feng and True Fenghuang were not false, but real.
Among these phantoms, he seemed to see Fire Spirits in the Volcano of Undying absorbing the Qi of the first Phoenix between heaven and earth, merging with it, and finally evolving into True Feng and True Fenghuang.
As the first Phoenix between heaven and earth, Yuan Feng could borrow the power of these beings. At this moment, she could even represent a race and represent a new Great Dao.
This is the Phoenix Great Dao: elevating a race into a Great Dao, easily mobilizing the power of the entire race.
With the blessing of vast power, Yuan Feng's strength underwent a qualitative change in an instant.
Hongjun looked at this scene. Although a trace of dread flashed in his eyes, he was not afraid at all.
He merely sent a gentle palm strike toward the massive Phoenix Phantom. Countless Laws and Daos intertwined around him, World Power surged, the Great Dao of Equality surged, and countless powers evolved into an ultimate killing intent.
He looked at Yuan Feng and said coldly:
"The one with truly superior methods is still Fellow Daoist. I only used this move when fighting that Beast Emperor, and one could even say I lost that battle.
But now I have improved this move. Let's see how Fellow Daoist responds.
River of the Great Dao, emerge!"
Countless Laws and powers converged, striking Yuan Feng's body.
Yuan Feng's entire power seemed to be dissolving under this force, and the Phoenix True Fire surrounding her was swallowed by the River of the Great Dao.
The torrent formed by the River of the Great Dao did not stop, slamming fiercely onto Yuan Feng's body.
A huge pit appeared atop Mount Buzhou. Mysterious Qi surged, and Mount Buzhou's power attempted to gradually repair it. However, under the suppression of Hongjun's residual power, the process was extremely slow.
Inside the great pit, Yuan Feng had blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, having transformed into a female body. Parts of her red clothes were torn, and coupled with the flame mark on her brow, she looked exceptionally delicate and captivating.
Hongjun was neither sad nor joyful, completely unenticed by this appearance. Just kidding, she is an Innate Sacred Being, and unlike existences like him who have fixed genders, she can be male or female. When she reverts to her male body, what she pulls out will be bigger than yours.
