On Yujing Mountain, Hongjun had now established his current Realm, which was the Great Luo Heaven Realm.
This Realm was no longer restricted by a single river of time, and even the traces of existence born from the parallel lines evolving in the Honghuang World, similar to his own existence, could be replaced.
Although the current parallel universes had not yet fully evolved, it gave him another opportunity to first project his Dao marks into those worlds, combining his information and will with those worlds.
In this way, those existences that evolved based on the imprints of the Honghuang World, similar to himself, would have their cultivation methods and Dao blessed by these Dao marks.
When they reached a certain Realm, they would in turn feed back into him, allowing him to rapidly improve again.
However, doing such a thing was not simple; it required his Great Dao to invade one parallel universe after another.
But now, that was no longer necessary. Hongjun took out that Origin imprint radiating the aura of the Primordial World.
Looking at this purple imprint, an idea immediately formed in his mind, and boundless Dao Power was injected into it.
On this purple imprint, scenes from the river of time immediately appeared, and the locations of those parallel universes were also recorded on this heavenly dao of the great desolate world Origin imprint.
He did not hesitate; his own Dao Power, following this imprint, entered those parallel universes, condensing into Dao marks.
Although these parallel universes had not yet fully evolved, using this Origin imprint to engrave his Great Dao into those worlds was more than sufficient.
From then on, these worlds would bear his traces, and these worlds, as parallel universes of Honghuang,
Time flowed by, and in a blink of an eye, several yuanhui had passed.
Hongjun's aura, however, became even more terrifying, improving by far more than just one-tenth.
He clenched his hands, feeling his current strength; compared to before, it had increased by an immeasurable amount.
He even suspected now that his current self should have surpassed all Innate Sacred Beings, and even Beast Emperor Shen Ni might not be unbeatable.
As for killing him, he doubted he could do it, because through this heavenly dao of the great desolate world Origin imprint, and after so many years of deductions by the jade disc of creation, a hint of Beast Emperor Shen Ni's true nature was finally uncovered.
That One represented the combination of the remaining Qi and power from the Chaos Era; it was the resentment of Chaos.
Relying on pure strength alone, without the blessing of the Honghuang World's Qi, it would be difficult to suppress and kill him.
Only if all Innate Sacred Beings joined forces would there be a slim chance.
At this moment, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly emanated from within him. The pangu banner flew out, transforming into the appearance of a doll, its face full of displeasure.
"Hongjun, you've finally ended this seclusion! I've been waiting for so long. Before, you took me to the river of time to open up parallel universes, saying there would be enough heavenly dao of the great desolate world Origin and Law Power for me to devour, but there was none.
Now you've been in seclusion for so many years. Are you trying to go back on your word?"
The Pangu Banner Artifact Spirit grumbled, its small face filled with displeasure.
Hongjun's face also showed a hint of apology; he had truly forgotten about this matter.
Looking at the pangu banner's round, pouting face, he could only apologize:
"Fellow Daoist, it was my mistake. I forgot the time while cultivating, and I have wronged you.
As for the matter of the river of time, there's no need to bring it up again. Although you and I jointly opened up a parallel universe, that parallel universe has already been marked by the heavenly dao of the great desolate world.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to devour its Origin. How about this: for the next ten thousand years, you can devour the Origin within my body once every thousand years."
Hongjun's face was filled with sincerity.
Upon hearing these words, the Pangu Banner Artifact Spirit's anger gradually subsided. It glanced at Hongjun and said with a huff:
"In that case, let this be the last time."
With that, it transformed into a streak of profound light and flew into Hongjun's body, beginning to devour the Origin and Law of his crystal divine kingdom.
Now, the Law and Origin of the crystal divine kingdom, due to the transformation of Hongjun's Great Dao, had advanced a layer beyond the Great Luo Realm, reaching the Great Luo Heaven Realm, and naturally also advanced a layer.
The contained Origin and Law Power were even stronger, almost overwhelmingly so compared to before.
But as the Pangu Banner Artifact Spirit began to devour, Hongjun's face instantly turned pale. After all, this was a heaven-opening supreme treasure, possessing indescribable power, one of the three most powerful supreme treasures in Honghuang.
How much power and Law Power it devoured was immense. In just a moment, Hongjun felt his body weaken, as if it had been hollowed out.
Without hesitation, he began to activate his Great Dao, converting Chaos Qi from Chaos into the Origin of the crystal divine kingdom within his body.
But this was not the end; he also used his Great Dao of Equality and the Great Luo Dao he had opened to draw Law Power from his other Incarnations to maintain the balance of the crystal divine kingdom.
His weakness, however, still did not diminish. The pangu banner's devouring power was simply too strong.
After a moment, the pangu banner flew out of his body. Unlike before, it was now radiant with flowing light, and its aura had also become stronger.
After the pangu banner flew out of his body, it still appeared as a doll, looking at Hongjun with a hint of fervor in its eyes.
The next time would be a thousand years later. Within these ten thousand years, it could devour once every thousand years, until the ten thousand years were up.
Thinking of this, a look of excitement appeared on its face, and it also felt a bit fortunate that it hadn't devoured a wave when Hongjun was in seclusion before.
Before his cultivation improved, devouring ten times would probably only be equivalent to one time now—it was a world of difference!
Even now, its recovery ability had greatly increased. Thinking of this, the longing in its eyes became even more apparent.
Hongjun looked at this longing gaze, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart. While using the Great Dao of Equality to recover, he also felt some trepidation; the feeling of being hollowed out was not pleasant at all.
But he couldn't refuse; he couldn't go back on his own words, could he?
In the time that followed, every thousand years, he would experience the feeling of his body being hollowed out.
Nine thousand nine hundred years later, Hongjun, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a slight disturbance. He took out a jade talisman from his hand; this was the object Yang Mei used to contact them.
From within the jade talisman, Yang Mei's voice emerged.
"World Sacred Being, I have already contacted many Innate Sacred Beings and am ready to jointly crusade against Beast Emperor Shen Ni. Come quickly to meet with me and the other Innate Sacred Beings to discuss countermeasures."
With that, a location message was transmitted to him from within the jade talisman.
