Luo Hou analyzed the current situation.
Actually, the situation in Primordial is very clear now, except for some reclusive races, there are only the paths of Dao and Demon.
As for those reclusive races, such as Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Xuan Wu, White Tiger, etc., neither Dao nor Demon want to deal with them now.
When the overall situation has been set, these races will inevitably follow the trend of Heavenly Dao.
"If this situation continues, the result of this dispute between Dao and Demon is indeed indefinite."
Luo Hou continued to say.
"Daoist Luo Hou is right, in this case, please lead everyone back to the Western Primordial to avoid causing harm to living beings."
Daoist Hong Jun said.
"Hong Jun is right, Luo Hou, since you feel it's not right, then retreat to your West."
Yin Yang Ancestor immediately said.
"Are you content with letting my Demon Path occupy half of the Primordial fortunes?"
Dian Dao, Qian Kun, and Yin Yang remained expressionless, but their silence had already shown their stance.
Of course, they were not willing to let the Demon Path occupy half of the fortunes of Primordial, but at this moment, they couldn't think of a better plan.
At this time, Hong Jun still said with a smile: "Do you think if we are not content, Daoist Luo Hou, you would just hand over that half of the Primordial fortunes?"
"Dream on!"
"I am also not content with that half of Primordial fortunes in your hands, in fact, I can hardly wait anymore."
Hong Jun, Dian Dao, Yin Yang, and Qian Kun all looked at Luo Hou in puzzlement. They knew Luo Hou was anxious, but they didn't expect Luo Hou would say it out loud.
"Hong Jun, Dian Dao, Yin Yang, Qian Kun!"
Luo Hou's voice suddenly became loud, and most of the creatures in Primordial could hear it.
"In three thousand years, I, Luo Hou, will set up the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation on Mount Sumeru, waiting for your arrival."
"If I win this battle, I will take the other half of Primordial fortunes. If you win, all the fortunes of Primordial will belong to you."
In the eyes of Di Jun and other beings, Luo Hou confronted the four ancestors, and then they heard Luo Hou's challenge.
After all, whether it was Luo Hou or ancestors like Hong Jun, it was impossible for other beings to hear their conversation.
Luo Hou then looked at Hong Jun and the other three, and again said in a normal voice: "I am waiting for you all on Mount Sumeru."
"Hahaha..."
After speaking, Luo Hou laughed loudly and left.
At this time, Hong Jun and the other three looked serious, exchanged glances, realizing that the matter was not simple.
Their thoughts were quick, and they instantly realized the difficulty.
One was that since Luo Hou had issued a challenge, he must have made full preparations, and if they rushed to it, it might be difficult to win.
On the other hand, the challenge issued by Luo Hou was heard by most beings in Primordial, so how would the beings in Primordial view them if they didn't go?
Moreover, Luo Hou truly deserves to be called the Demon Ancestor, as he had planted a seed inside the minds of the four.
The struggle between Dao and Demon had lasted for so long, and now influenced by Luo Hou's prompt, could they still have the patience to continue waiting?
When Hong Jun felt a wave of irritability surging up, a cool breath swept across his mind, dispelling his irritation.
When Hong Jun saw the expressions of the other three Dao friends, he instantly realized that he might have been bewitched by Luo Hou.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart, glad that he had the Creation Jade Disc.
"Dear Dao friends, this matter requires further deliberation, why don't we return first?"
Hong Jun said seriously.
The other three exchanged glances, then said in unison: "Agreed!"
Then the four of them left the place, and even Di Jun failed to notice how the four ancestors left.
Having witnessed Luo Hou's arrival and departure, listening to Luo Hou's challenge, Di Jun couldn't help but feel emotional.
Is the Dao-Demon conflict going to see its final battle in three thousand years?
The Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, not breakable by four beings of equal cultivation, and also at Mount Sumeru, wasn't this the last battle in the legends of Primordial from the previous era?
Once this battle is over, Daoist Hong Jun will become the sole winner of the Dao-Demon conflict.
However, this battle is a war between Hong Jun and the other three Dao Ancestors and Luo Hou, and it actually has little to do with himself and most other beings.
Unknowingly, the destiny of their fortunes had already been determined.
At this moment, both the Daoist and Demon factions had no mood to continue the battle and went back to their respective bases.
...
Within a palace, Daoist Hong Jun, Dian Dao Ancestor, Yin Yang Ancestor, and Qian Kun Ancestor were seated on meditation cushions.
"Gentlemen, how do you view Daoist Luo Hou's challenge?"
Daoist Hong Jun was the first to speak.
Qian Kun Ancestor, Dian Dao Ancestor, and Yin Yang Ancestor exchanged glances, none speaking up.
Seeing no one spoke, Daoist Hong Jun said again: "How about I share my thoughts first to start the discussion?"
"Please speak, Daoist Hong Jun."
"Daoist, please speak."
"Daoist Hong Jun, what are your thoughts?"
Upon seeing this, Daoist Hong Jun immediately shared his opinion on Luo Hou's challenge.
"My opinion on Daoist Luo Hou's challenge is to reject."
"Daoist Luo Hou comes with ill intentions; since he dares to challenge us, he must be fully prepared, and our chances of victory are unpredictable."
Hearing Daoist Hong Jun's words, the other three Ancestors remained silent.
It was apparent to Daoist Hong Jun that they were not satisfied with his opinion.
"Daoist Hong Jun, you are being overly cautious. We are at the same level as Luo Hou, all being Primordial Golden Immortals, just a step away from becoming Primordial Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortals."
"Four of us against him alone, how could we possibly lose?"
Dian Dao Ancestor directly spoke.
"Yes, Hong Jun. Moreover, if we do not accept the challenge, how will the life forces of the Eastern Primordial view us? It's highly possible they might say we four fear Luo Hou."
"At that time, who knows how many life forces will turn to the Demon Path."
Qian Kun Ancestor added.
"Daoist Hong Jun, we have waited too long for this final step."
"We ascended to Dao during the era when fierce beasts ran rampant, jointly slew Shen Ni, and witnessed the downfall of the three races. Now that we have finally reached this step, do we have room to retreat?"
Yin Yang Ancestor looked at Daoist Hong Jun and spoke.
Listening to the rebuttals of the three Daoists, Daoist Hong Jun still wore a smile, saying: "So the three of you mean to accept Luo Hou's challenge?"
Dian Dao, Yin Yang, and Qian Kun looked at each other, then unanimously said: "Yes."
Daoist Hong Jun nodded and said: "Then we accept Luo Hou's challenge."
Daoist Hong Jun knew they had indeed waited too long, and so had Luo Hou.
In fact, Luo Hou was even less patient than they were; otherwise, he wouldn't have proactively incited conflicts among the three races, accelerating their decline.
However, some of Luo Hou's recent words really made them unable to wait any longer; this couldn't all be blamed on Luo Hou's instigation, but rather their patience was running thin.
The long years of waiting also made them fear that they would become numb.
Despite the dangers, Daoist Hong Jun himself would naturally not retreat, for if he did, there might truly be no opportunity left.
"Daoist friends, you must have also seen Luo Hou's Slaying Immortal Sword Formation."
Daoist Hong Jun said.
Since they had already accepted Luo Hou's challenge, it was natural to analyze Luo Hou.
Dian Dao Ancestor, Yin Yang Ancestor, and Qian Kun Ancestor all nodded.
"When the great calamity of the fierce beasts occurred during the last battle, Luo Hou used the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation single-handedly against the four great beast kings under the Beast Emperor Shen Ni."
"He trapped Qiong Qi, Taowu, Chaos, and Taotie with the Slaying Immortal Array."
Yin Yang Ancestor said.
"However, the four great beast kings almost broke through the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, and it was only when Luo Hou held the Innate Treasure God Slaying Spear and stepped on the Chaos Black Lotus into the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation that he was able to slay the four great beast kings."
Qian Kun Ancestor added.
Daoist Hong Jun continued to inquire: "Have any of you ever entered the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation?"
All three Ancestors shook their heads.
"There are no survivors under the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, but rest assured, Daoist Hong Jun, those four great beast kings are not as strong as us."
Dian Dao Ancestor said.
