Ninety-second retreat

  Wishing you all a happy Chinese New Year!

  Of course, there are endless dangers and opportunities on this path. He has already got the opportunity, as for whether he can persist or not depends on his own willpower, and whether his determination is unshakeable.

  Will is the key to proving the way, all of which cannot be helped by others, and everything needs to be faced by oneself. Success or failure depends on one's own heart.

  The confrontation between Candle Nine Yin and Hong Jun Dao Zu shook the entire Penglai Island, this time Candle Nine Yin's true body merged with the power of the divine way can clearly feel that the divine treasure he refined has a subtle connection with Penglai Xian Island.

  When he sensed this connection, Zhu Jiu Yin's heart was moved involuntarily. He had now reached the end of his road, and if he didn't stake everything on one last gamble, there would be no other way out. Previously, his physical body had been transformed in a breakthrough at the time when his blood essence was exhausted; now another opportunity was unfolding before him.

  Of course, this time Jiu Yin's opportunity is not only aimed at his physical body, but also at his spiritual cultivation and the treasure of the spiritual path.

  "I'd rather die than yield, I dare to pull the emperor off his horse. Things have come to this point, what else do I have to hesitate about? Since Hong Jun wants me dead, let's stake everything on one throw. At worst, I'll die and my soul will disappear."

  As soon as this thought arose, Chu Jiu Yin suddenly shouted loudly: "Blood sacrifice to the heavens, devour all under the sky, merge!"

  As soon as Zhu Jiu Yin's voice fell, he opened his mouth and shot a blood arrow at the Divine Treasure of the Heavenly Path. Then, only to see that the Divine Treasure in Zhu Jiu Yin's hand burst into golden light, then transformed into a meteor and merged into the Penglai Fairy Island.

  When he saw Zhu Jiu Yin's move, Hong Jun Dao Zu felt a sense of threat and thought to himself: "This is not good, Zhu Jiu Yin this bastard must have an ulterior motive, I need to stop him!"

  Unfortunately, Hong Jun Dao Zu felt that it was a bit late. Chu Jiu Yin had already completed the fusion of Shen Dao Zhi Bao and Penglai Xian Island in an instant. Just as Hong Jun Dao Zu wanted to intervene, the entire Penglai Xian Island began to tremble violently, and the spiritual energy on the island dissipated wildly.

  This is the killing move of Zhu Jiu Yin, his divine treasure that devoured the physical body of Penglai Fairy Island. As the physical body was continuously devoured by Zhu Jiu Yin's divine treasure, the spiritual energy on the island naturally decreased drastically. If this continues, it won't be long before the dragon vein of Penglai Fairy Island completely disappears.

  On the surface, it seems that Zhu Jiu is only using the Divine Path Treasure to absorb the spiritual energy of Penglai Immortal Island. However, in reality, Zhu Jiu has also opened up his own divine country and is frantically absorbing the spiritual energy and dragon veins of Penglai Immortal Island through the connection between the Divine Path Treasure and his divine country, using the dragon veins and spiritual energy to recover himself.

  Candle Nine had thought about the consequences of doing this, and they were severe. However, he no longer had a choice. Moreover, now that he was doing this, he didn't have to bear the karma and causality himself, as Hong Jun Dao Zu was with him to share the burden. After all, he was being forced into a dead end by Hong Jun Dao Zu.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu's heart was furious, he wasn't an idiot, naturally understanding what Candle Nine Yin was planning. This was clearly an attempt to drag him into sharing the karma of destroying Penglai Immortal Island together. Hong Jun Dao Zu's hatred in his heart was intense, if possible, he would have liked to swallow Candle Nine Yin whole right now.

  Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets, as Jiu Yin had already made his move. Even if he wanted to stop, it would be impossible unless Hong Jun Dao Zu was willing to abandon Emperor Jiang and the other ancestral witches.

  But this is obviously impossible, if he does so, then it's likely that his life will be in danger, and all his previous efforts would have been in vain. The demonic tribe's luck would be swallowed by the witch tribe, and there wouldn't be a single race left in the entire Primordial Chaos that could rival the witch tribe.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu's face turned red with rage as he shouted: "Zhu Jiu Yin, you madman, do you really want to die?"

  "Death is nothing to fear, for it is merely a return to the embrace of our father god. But even if I were to die, you would not get off easy. I'd like to see what you'll use to deal with this enormous karma!"

  Hongjun Daozu was right, this is indeed a great cause and effect. You should know that Penglai Fairy Island is the gathering place of scattered immortals in the future. If it really gets destroyed because of Hongjun Daozu's battle with Zhu Jiu Yin, Leizi will be greatly delighted. Hongjun Daozu wants to ascend but will have to postpone again, and may even be targeted by the Great Way and receive heavenly punishment.

  In terms of cause and effect versus divine country, Candle Nine Yin naturally chooses to preserve the latter. After all, the latter is very important for his own cultivation. Cause and effect are relatively weaker. The most important thing is that Candle Nine Yin's approach is to prove the Tao with strength, which is to eliminate all difficulties. A little more cause and effect is just a test on the path of proving the Tao.

  Such a choice of candle nine yin naturally understands how to take and give up, it is precisely so that he did not put the words of Hong Jun Dao Zu in his eyes at all, wanting to do this absolute thing.

  Compared to Zhu Jiu Yin, Hong Jun Dao Zu's situation is not good. This matter was triggered by Zhu Jiu Yin, but in the end, it will be pinned on these two people. How can Hong Jun Dao Zu accept this? However, he cannot accept it and there is nothing he can do. The matter has already happened, and Zhu Jiu Yin won't stop either.

  In the eyes of Hong Jun Dao Zu, Zhuo Jiu Yin had already made up his mind to perish together with him. The battle 200 years ago would reappear, and he feared that he would suffer heavenly punishment once again.

  Facing the fearless and intrepid Candle Nine Yin, Hong Jun Dao Zu was really unable to continue supporting him. At this moment, he truly wanted to withdraw, but he needed a step down, so that he could withdraw with dignity and not affect his prestige in the vast wilderness.

  For Hong Jun Dao Zu, to die with a madman like Zhu Jiu Yin was unacceptable. This thought arose, and Hong Jun Dao Zu's will to fight naturally decreased.

  For those who are watching this battle in the vast wilderness, they may not feel the change of Hong Jun Dao Zu, but for Zhu Jiuyin, who is facing Hong Jun Dao Zu head-on, he can clearly feel that Hong Jun Dao Zu's momentum has begun to weaken, and he knows that Hong Jun Dao Zu is afraid without saying a word.

  This feeling made Chu Jiuyin's will to fight even stronger, and in the situation where one side was weakening and the other was growing stronger, Chu Jiuyin quickly narrowed the gap with Hong Jun Daozu.

  Of course, Zhu Jiu Yin's growth in aura did not escape Hong Jun Dao Zu's notice. Zhu Jiu Yin's transformation made Hong Jun Dao Zu even more furious in his heart. As the first saint of the vast expanse, he was being forced to this point by an ant like Zhu Jiu Yin, how could he accept it?

  Although there were all kinds of unwillingness in his heart, Hong Jun Dao Zu finally compromised, because the war 200 years ago made a demon born in his heart. Zhu Jiu Yin, such a crazy guy, gave him pressure. If Zhu Jiu Yin's cultivation was insufficient, it would be fine, but now Zhu Jiu Yin's cultivation is weak, but he has such means to force himself to bear endless karma, making Hong Jun Dao Zu suffer from constraints.

  All of Zhu Jiu Yin's actions are just like the old saying, being reckless is scary, being stupid is scary, and being reckless to the point of not caring about one's life is even scarier. And Zhu Jiu Yin has all three qualities, making him a lunatic who really makes it hard for others to swallow their anger when he's around.

  Hong Jun Dao Zu's momentum dissipated, which also means that the outcome of this battle has already been decided. Because he didn't have the same level of ruthlessness as Zhu Jiu Yin, he couldn't be fearless and dauntless. After all, what he inherited was the Heavenly Way's inheritance, the 'Creation Jade Disc' three thousand great ways' inheritance, which was also incomplete. This made him consider many things, whereas Zhu Jiu Yin only relied on brute force to prove his way, with a heart that had no fear or apprehension, and bravely charged forward.

  What to do? Hong Jun Dao Zu's heart was difficult to take, and just as Hong Jun Dao Zu and Zhu Jiu Yin were fighting in the dark, Di Jun manipulated the "River Map" and "Luo Book" to slowly escape from the battlefield.

  It's not that Jiǔ Yīn doesn't want to kill Dì Jùn, but rather his energy is now completely absorbed by Hóng Jūn Dào Zǔ, and he doesn't care about Dì Jùn's life or death anymore.

  Although Jiuyin wanted to get rid of Di Jun, he wouldn't risk his own life to fight him, and it was impossible for him to sacrifice his own life just to kill Di Jun.

  Chu Jiu Yin did not see Di Jun escape, but Hong Jun Dao Zu's unintentional glance saw that Di Jun had already escaped from Chu Jiu Yin's clutches. This suddenly gave him a way out, making his heart involuntarily excited, and seeing an opportunity to retreat wholeheartedly without having to perish together with the madman Chu Jiu Yin.
