As Hongjun closed his eyes, waiting to die, he never expected Rahu to make a move!
Hongjun opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Rahu.
"Why aren't you attacking yet?"
Rahu gave a sinister smile:
"Want to die? It's not that easy. If you die, won't all the suffering I've endured over the years be in vain? I want you to experience it too!"
Hearing that Rahu had no intention of killing him, Hongjun didn't feel happy at all!
"What do you want? Isn't my death and the dissipation of my Dao enough?"
Rahu looked at the defenseless Hongjun, and his desire to kill him waned.
Instead of killing Hongjun, it would be a far greater insult to make Hongjun submit to him. It would torment him more than death!
"Why don't you submit to me, and I'll spare your wretched life! What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun became agitated immediately!
"Dream on, Rahu! A scholar can be killed, but not disgraced!"
Rahu looked at the agitated Hongjun, whose reaction was exactly as he had expected!
However, he was still curious about what had happened to Hongjun in the Primordial World. How had he sustained injuries? Who could possibly injure him at his level of cultivation?
If Hongjun hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have fallen into his hands!
Rahu was determined to return to the Primordial World and settle the score with those who had attacked him. Naturally, he needed to find out everything that had happened in the Primordial World. Anyone who could injure Hongjun would pose a certain danger to himself!
Rahu, seeing the agitated Hongjun, immediately slapped him across the face!
"Why are you so worked up? Have you no awareness? Can't you see you're already my prisoner?"
Hongjun looked at Rahu in disbelief. He, the foremost sage of the Primordial World, had been slapped?
Hongjun roared, as if driven mad:
"Rahu, you're insane! How dare you slap me?"
Rahu frowned. Did this Hongjun not understand his current predicament? He was like a beaten dog, yet he still dared to mouth off. Rahu immediately delivered several more slaps to Hongjun's face!
Hongjun was driven to the brink of madness. In the Primordial World, everyone showed him utmost respect, except perhaps Sanqing!
Even Pangu, when he slaughtered the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, had never subjected him to such treatment!
Hongjun immediately decided to end his own life by self-detonation!
Rahu's expression changed. This damned wretch wanted to commit suicide after just a few slaps? He himself was reluctant to kill him, and yet he wanted to die? What a beautiful thought!
Rahu delivered another slap to Hongjun's face, interrupting his attempt at self-detonation!
Hongjun was utterly furious. This bastard Rahu was too much of a scoundrel!
"What's wrong with the injuries on your body? I feel a sense of familiarity, but I just can't recall it!"
Upon hearing this, Hongjun became furious. If not for that damned Taishang, how could he have ended up in such a pathetic state!
Hongjun arrogantly turned his head aside, ignoring Rahu's question!
Seeing that Hongjun ignored him, Rahu delivered another slap!
"Why are you acting so proud, you old scoundrel? Speak! Speak!"
Rahu's hands moved like a storm as he questioned, and soon Hongjun's face swelled into a pig-like mass.
Hongjun's meridians had been sealed by Rahu, rendering him unable to even restore his appearance. He could only stammer out vaguely:
"Wuwuwu, I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Only then did Rahu stop, glaring at Hongjun.
Seeing that Rahu had stopped, Hongjun dared not delay, fearing that this bastard Rahu would start slapping him again!
"These injuries were inflicted by Taishang. He has a divine ability that can condense a phantom of Pangu and draw upon the primal chaos essence. These wounds were inflicted by the Kai Tian Axe in the hands of the Pangu phantom!"
When Rahu heard about the Pangu phantom, he immediately remembered that when he first encountered Sanqing on Penglai Island, Taishang had used the same divine ability to scare him away!
He had thought that Pangu had resurrected and had quickly fled. After all, the memories Pangu had left him were too dark!
There were many Chaos beings far more powerful than him, but Pangu could eliminate them with a single axe. Even powerful beings like Shiguang couldn't escape!
It was clear that the Chaos had been biased. They were all Chaos Demon Gods, so why was Pangu so outstanding, almost annihilating the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods single-handedly?
Rahu increasingly felt that keeping Hongjun alive was a wise decision. He had no solution for Taishang's divine ability, which could even manipulate the primal chaos essence. Who could contend with it?
Even if Shichen were resurrected, he would probably have to expend considerable effort, let alone himself, who lacked Shichen's means!
By keeping Hongjun, he had gained a powerful ally. Moreover, this old fellow must harbor a considerable hatred for Sanqing!
Rahu's gaze fell upon Hongjun with ill intent.
"Weren't you on good terms back then? You even joined forces to attack me. What happened to cause this rift?"
Hongjun felt a tremor in his heart as he felt Rahu's gaze. This scoundrel had no respect for elders. Fearing that Rahu would slap him again, he quickly recounted everything that had happened in the Primordial World after Rahu's supposed demise.
Rahu was astonished by how much had transpired during his absence!
Even Shi Qilin had died and his Dao dissipated. He hadn't even had a chance to trouble him, and the fellow had gone ahead first, leaving him nothing but a missed opportunity!
He was especially delighted to learn that Yuan Feng and Zu Long were trapped in the Undying Volcano and the North Sea Abyss, unable to move freely!
If he couldn't have a good time, then those two shouldn't either!
Yuan Feng endured the torment of burning flames daily in the Undying Volcano, while Zu Long was battered by strong currents in the sea abyss!
Only Hongjun had it easy, but now that Hongjun had fallen into his hands, his days would be... hehehe!
All that remained were Sanqing. Once Sanqing was dealt with, and then Yuan Feng and Zu Long were resolved in the Undying Volcano and the North Sea Abyss, his great revenge would be complete!
After learning what he wanted to know, Rahu looked at Hongjun.
"Are you truly unwilling to submit to me? Even if it means the dissipation of your Dao?"
Hongjun, for once, mustered his courage.
"Make your move! Consider it repayment for what you owed me in the past!" With that, Hongjun raised his head, awaiting his fate.
Rahu frowned and couldn't help but say:
"You're not seeking revenge anymore? Just leaving Sanqing unchecked? Wouldn't it be better if you submitted to me, and we dealt with Sanqing together!"
Hongjun opened his eyes at this and looked deeply at Rahu.
"Rahu, you are also a Chaos Demon God. The identity of a Chaos Demon God absolutely forbids me from submitting to another!"
Rahu burst into laughter at this.
"Hongjun, if you have nothing else to say, then shut your mouth. The identity of a Chaos Demon God? What is that? Weren't you just a dog under Lord Shiguang back then? And you still claim to be so noble? If Pangu hadn't killed all those top-tier Chaos Demon Gods, do you think you would be where you are today? Or do you think you are capable of it!"
Hongjun was taken aback that Rahu would dig up his past wounds even as he was about to die! He couldn't help but roar in anger:
"What are you laughing at? How are you any better than me! Weren't you just a dog under the Lord of Destiny? How are you any better than me?"
Rahu was furious. He never expected this old wretch Hongjun to bring up his old scars! He immediately forced out a drop of his essence blood and a wisp of his divine soul, formed hand seals, and watched as the wisp of divine soul and the drop of essence blood slowly merged.
As Rahu's movements continued, a special white pattern gradually formed and flew towards Hongjun's forehead.
Seeing this, Hongjun's expression turned to one of sheer terror, as if the pattern was some great horror!
After the mark disappeared into Hongjun's brow, Hongjun slumped to the ground, his face filled with despair.
Rahu, also exhausted, collapsed onto the ground. Hongjun looked at Rahu in disbelief.
"Destiny Bond! You actually possess the Destiny Bond of the Lord of Destiny!"
Rahu chuckled and said weakly:
"You are correct. I was indeed just a dog under the Lord of Destiny, but I was a favored dog!"
"You thought that if you didn't submit to me, I would be powerless? With this Destiny Bond, as long as I am alive, you will forever be my slave! Don't worry, even if I am about to die, I will detonate this Destiny Bond beforehand, and you will die before me!"
With that, Rahu burst into laughter.
