It was Hongjun. In the Great Desolation, except for River Styx, there were only Liu Er, Tongtian and Hongjun in the Realm of Origin. It was impossible for Liu Er to come. Although the Tongtian Hierarch had left Tendo, he needed time to recover his cultivation, so Hongjun was the only one. Although River Styx did not know the extent of Hongjun's injury after leaving Tendo, he could go to the Chaos at any time with his cultivation.
To River Styx's surprise, Hongjun found him. River Styx was a little afraid of Hongjun, not only because of Hongjun's high cultivation, but also because Hongjun was the reincarnation of the remnant soul of the Demon God of Chaos. He had a certain understanding of the Chaos, especially the Demon God of Chaos.
River Styx did not know the purpose of Hongjun's visit. He had no friendship with Hongjun at all. On the contrary, they had some enmity. River Styx had indirectly caused Hongjun's plan to devour Tendo to fail, while Hongjun had schemed against River Styx many times. This could be regarded as reciprocity. Now that they met in the Chaos, it was unknown whether it was predestined.
River Styx looked at Hongjun and said flatly, "It's not leisure. It's just a nap in the Chaos. But Hongjun, why don't you recuperate in the Great Desolation? Why do you have time to come to the Chaos? Could it be that his injuries have completely healed? " Just a Saint like Tongtian who had left the Way of Heaven had already suffered heavy injuries, not to mention Hongjun who had merged with the Way of Heaven. Moreover, he had forcefully left the Way of Heaven under the suppression of the Way of Heaven. How could such an injury be so easy to recover?
Hearing this, Hongjun's eyes flashed with a cold light. He snorted and said, "Humph! River Styx, you don't have to worry about Poor Way's injury. But you took advantage of the battle between the Four Sects of the Gods to devour the Origin of the Great Desolation when the Great Desolation was broken. What a good plan. But … "Hongjun's killing intent was looming." My plan has been completely ruined because of you. "
Without River Styx, Hongjun's plan to devour Tendo would probably succeed. At that time, he would be the master of the Great Desolation, a Tendo level expert. But now, all his efforts were in vain.... Hongjun's hatred for River Styx might be greater than that for Zhunti. Now, meeting in the Chaos, Hongjun could not help but reveal his killing intent.
River Styx did not care too much about the killing intent from Hongjun. Although Hongjun was at the peak of Primordial Chaos, which was one realm higher than River Styx, River Styx was a Chaos Demon God. With the help of the Three Corpses, they might be able to defeat Hongjun. Moreover, Hongjun was still injured and might not be able to exert his full strength.
To be honest, River Styx would rather Hongjun attack him. River Styx was looking forward to fighting with an expert like Hongjun. But judging from the current situation, if they fought to the death, both sides would be injured. Hongjun would not do that and neither would River Styx. If they were seriously injured, it would definitely affect their trip to the Chaos.
River Styx looked at Hongjun and said indifferently, "Plan? The plan to devour Tendo? I have to say, Hongjun, you're crazier than I am. Who would have thought that Hongjun Daozu, who sacrificed himself for the sake of others, would do that with the intention of devouring Tendo? But you're unlucky to have met me. Tendo is getting stronger day by day because of me. You can only leave Tendo. "
Sure enough, a look of understanding flashed across Hongjun's face. His guess was right. River Styx had really guessed his plan. At this moment, Hongjun's fear of River Styx deepened. If it was only his cultivation, it would be fine. But coupled with his unparalleled scheming, it was terrifying. Hongjun wished he could kill River Styx right now. Unfortunately, the situation did not allow it.
River Styx did not want both sides to suffer, and neither did Hongjun. Now, the two were almost evenly matched. River Styx did not know Hongjun well, and Hongjun did not know River Styx well. If they fought under such circumstances, it would only delay their cultivation. If they did not have full confidence, neither of them would make the first move.
Looking at River Styx's indifference, Hongjun naturally knew that River Styx was not afraid of him because he was strong enough. At this thought, Hongjun calmed down a little, and the looming murderous intent instantly disappeared without a trace. Then, he asked, "River Styx, what's so good about the endless Chaos that you actually came here again?"
Hongjun withdrew his murderous intent. River Styx had already expected this. Hongjun was a smart person, and he would not do something that did not benefit him and would hurt himself. But now, Hongjun changed the topic because he wanted to know the reason why River Styx went to the Chaos. River Styx naturally could not tell him. Although River Styx knew something that Hongjun might know as long as he went to the depths of the Chaos, at least River Styx would not be so kind as to tell him in advance.
River Styx replied casually, "Now that I'm already a Chaos Deity, there's nothing strange about cultivating in the Chaos. What's your purpose in going to the Chaos at this time?" River Styx was naturally curious about what exactly Hongjun wanted to do by going to the Chaos when he had yet to fully recover from his injuries. After all, Hongjun had a deeper understanding of the Chaos than he did.
Seeing that River Styx did not reveal anything and instead inquired about his intentions, Hongjun felt helpless. In fact, Hongjun already knew River Styx's answer before he asked. However, River Styx's cultivation had improved tremendously the last time he went to the Chaos, and he even successfully transformed into a Chaos Deity. Furthermore, he even used the origin of the Chaos to make a deal with the Tongtian. It was clear that River Styx must have discovered something in the Chaos.
This was exactly what Hongjun wanted to know. What Hongjun knew about the Chaos was before Pangu split open the sky. As for what changes happened to the Chaos after that, Hongjun did not know. Although he might be able to find out what River Styx knew by going to the Chaos to investigate, that would take a long time. Moreover, the Chaos was boundless, so who could be sure that what he found was what River Styx had encountered back then?
Looking at the calm River Styx, Hongjun pondered for a long time before saying, "River Styx, you and I are both smart people, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I know that you must have discovered something when you went to the Chaos the last time. Otherwise, your cultivation would not have improved so rapidly. I want to know what you discovered. Of course, I'm not asking for your information for free. I'll exchange it with the secrets of the Chaos before the sky was split open. How about that?"
The Chaos before the sky was split open? River Styx's expression finally changed when he heard Hongjun's words. Hongjun had clearly grasped his weakness. River Styx was a Connate Demon God who was born after Pangu split open the sky. He was not the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God's remnant soul, so he knew very little about the Chaos before Pangu split open the sky. It was precisely because of this that Hongjun was willing to use this information to make a deal.
River Styx sighed when he saw Hongjun's confident expression. Hongjun's deal was indeed very attractive to him, but even if River Styx made a deal with him, he might not be able to obtain the truest information. Who could predict whether Hongjun would tamper with the information? Perhaps Hongjun also had the same concerns.
However, the information Hongjun possessed was indeed what River Styx urgently needed. River Styx could not refuse such a deal. Looking at the confident Hongjun, River Styx said, "Hongjun, your deal is indeed very tempting, but why should I believe you? And how can you be sure that I'll tell you everything I've discovered? If you want me to agree to this deal, you'll have to swear a Dao heart to the Great Dao. How about that? "
River Styx's words were within Hongjun's expectations. Just as River Styx had said, if River Styx did not believe him, he would not believe River Styx either. Swearing a Dao heart to the Great Dao was indeed the best method. Hongjun said, "Alright, with the Great Dao as my witness, I swear a Dao heart to the Great Dao that the information I've exchanged with River Styx is completely true. Alright, River Styx, it's your turn."
River Styx also swore a Dao heart to the Great Dao when he heard that. As such, there was finally a foundation of trust between the two of them. River Styx and Hongjun waved their hands and a jade slip landed in each other's hands. The jade slip contained the information they wanted to know. The two of them looked at the jade slip in their hands and their eyes flashed.
Hongjun looked at the jade slip in his hand but was not in a hurry to check it. The two of them had only sworn to verify the authenticity of the information in the jade slip. Who knew if the other party had left any tricks in the jade slip? Hongjun put away the jade slip and glanced at River Styx before he turned to leave. Before he left, he said, "River Styx, we'll meet again in the Primal Chaos."
River Styx smiled faintly as he watched Hongjun leave. Meet again in the Primal Chaos? He was afraid that the next time they met, it would not be so casual. Perhaps it would be a battle of life and death. Who could predict that? There were no eternal friends in this world, nor were there eternal enemies. There were only eternal interests. As long as there were enough interests, even enemies could become friends.
