379 Cat Dad’s Father to the Rescue!
Chapter 379 – Cat Dad’s Father to the Rescue!
Hongjun and Mao Miaomiao silently floated in the sky for one minute. However, during that minute, both transcended entities exchanged countless blows while they countered each other’s mandate domain abilities with their unique Daos.
Attribute Seal! Level Reset!
Karma Reflection! Amplify Consequences!
Negate Reflections! Law Bending – Existence Termination!
True Entity Immunity! Timeline Bending! Za Warudo!
5D Stabilization! Single Timeline Destruction!
Chaos Sovereign Reversal – Timeline Correction! Karma Severance!
Karma Immunity! Dao Destruction! Time Destruction!
Return to Zero! Karma Immunity Removal! Dao Eater Killer Queen!
Hongjun attempted to erase Mao Miaomiao’s existence directly while the latter was the sovereign of time and chaos abilities.
Mao Miaomiao’s existence karma couldn’t be destroyed as he was an outer god, who was not bound to the universe’s laws and karma. Meanwhile, Hongjun had Pangu’s blessings, and his existence karma couldn’t be severed, allowing him to withstand Mao Miaomiao’s karma severance skills.
After the exchanges, Mao Miaomiao’s soul-bound weapon, Killer Queen, suddenly destroyed Pangu’s blessings and devoured Hongjun’s providence essence, negating the sage’s abilities.
Hongjun paused for a moment before he shuttled 100 kilometers to space, fleeing the fight.
“Oi, oi, are you serious?” Mao Miaomiao flapped his wings. The next second, he caught up with Hongjun in the dark void.
“You monster!” Hongjun bellowed and reused his mandate domain – Attribute Seal!
As long as the mandate domain hit Mao Miaomiao, all the latter’s attributes and elemental providence would be completely sealed!
But again, Mao Miaomiao’s karma strings merged and formed a shield, which reflected the ability of Hongjun to himself. And once again, the power was amplified.
Karma Reflection! Amplify Consequences!
“Tsk!”
Hongjun ran out of cards to play as Mao Miaomiao had all answers to his abilities. Desperate, he shouted, asking for help.
“NIAN! HELP ME!”
“NYAAAAAA!!”
BOOM
Two clones of Nian flew out from the planet and pursued Mao Miaomiao. However, they were far away from the angel and the sage.

Hongjun suddenly received a grim system message.
DING
<Mao Miaomiao has activated the Transcended Grand Curse – Tarnished Antagonist Destiny!>
<As long as Mao Miaomiao is alive, your fate, luck, and strength will gradually decline. You cannot regain the strength in your previous life. This power cannot be negated or removed by mandate domains, constellation domains, mortal domains, or universal laws. You are forced to fight Mao Miaomiao at least once a month. If you fail to land any blow on Mao Miaomiao within a month, one of your Daos will be erased.>
“MAO MIAOMIAO!!”
Hongjun was enraged and frustrated. As this grand curse disabled him from regaining his former strength, the only way to remove this curse was to kill Mao Miaomiao. But killing Mao Miaomiao was impossible with his current strength!
His fate was set in stone. He could only wait for his demise or a miracle!
“Good luck running away from me. I’ll see you again within a month. Or rather, I should be running away from you from now on. Good luck finding me within 30 days!”
After successfully planting a grand curse on Hongjun, Mao Miaomiao narrowed his eyes and looked at something behind Hongjun. He quickly turned around and fled toward the two clones of Nian.
For a moment, Hongjun noticed doubts and uncertainties in Mao Miaomiao’s eyes as if he was afraid of something.
“Nya?”
“Eh?”
The two clones were taken aback that Mao Miaomiao rushed toward them. The next moment, they could not move their bodies.
SWUA
SWUA
Two afterimages of sword slash sliced through the two caracal cats. Their bodies were cleaved in half, and their karma strings were sucked into one of Mao Miaomiao’s feathers.
PLOP
PLOP
Instantly, both clones’ karma strings were destroyed and became an energy source for the angel. Mao Miaomiao ignored the scattered items in space and rushed back to the game world as if he ran away from something terrifying.
.
.
Hongjun’s face reddened in anger, helplessness, and frustration.
He lost!
However, as Mao Miaomiao disengaged from the battle with him, Hongjun had room to think and calculate his next move. His eyes shifted, looking for a way to get back on Mao Miaomiao and Mu-Nyang.
“Mao Miaomiao is smart, isn’t he?”
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Hongjun. The latter immediately turned around in shock as he couldn’t sense the person’s presence at all.
CHOMP!
A massive dragon opened its mouth and chomped down, crushing Hongjun alive!
Hongjun turned into dust. The particles flew a kilometer away from the massive dragon and reformed his body.
Upon catching the glimpse of the dragon, Hongjun identified the ambusher.
“O-Orochi!?”
Yamata-no-Orochi, aka the 8-head hydra of the East, menacingly stared down at Hongjun like a giant looking at an insect.
Orochi’s body alone was larger than the sun. Each head was one-tenth of the body’s size while every black scale on its body hid similar pocket dantians as in Mao Miaomiao and Xiaomao’s feathers. Moreover, each head had its own HP bars, level, and name indicator.
Despite being a galactic menace, Orochi emitted no aura or presence. His karma was invisible even to a former sage like Hongjun.
Sneering, Orochi stated his business, “By the order of Lord Solomon, I’m here to pass on his messages. Hongjun, you have two choices. First is the easy way out – Submit to Lord Solomon and serve him! Or second, I’ll kill you here and erase your existence for the rest of eternity!”
“WHAT?!”
Hongjun was offended. He was born from Pangu’s flesh, and he would not betray his parent no matter what.
“I will not serve backstabber scums! Go to hell!”
Hongjun gathered his power to attack Orochi. However, one of the eight heads snorted, and Hongjun’s body exploded into blood mist. His soul was ejected from his body and vanished into the void.
Seeing how Hongjun fled for his life, the head that had snorted earlier laughed.
“We should have done this earlier. Killing sages is too easy.”
“Ose, Hongjun just fought Mao Miaomiao, and he hasn’t recovered his sage’s abilities. We won because of a fluke.”
The leader of all heads, Baal, gazed toward the game world, where Mao Miaomiao had retreated to. The head next to Baal also looked at Mao Miaomiao. He asked the leader.
“Did he notice us?”
Baal nodded, “His eyes met with mine. He spotted us.”
“But our true mission is to capture or kill Mao Miaomiao, not Hongjun. Should we pursue him?”
Baal shook his head, “No. He spotted us. It’s impossible to kill him or take him to the netherworld with our current strength. Also, it’s not the time for us to reveal our existence. As planned, we will retreat and wait for Pangu and Mu-Nyang to weaken each other. After the patch, we will launch a full-scale assault on all forces when they are at their weakest.”
The seven other heads sighed in disappointment. They turned around in unison and vanished into the void as if they never existed.
.
.
Mao Miaomiao returned to the atmosphere of the game world. He furrowed his brows and stared at Orochi, reading their names, titles, and levels.
King Baal, First Head of Orochi, Level 55,000
Botis, Second Head of Orochi, Level 54,000
Morax, Third Head of Orochi, Level 54,000
Glasya, Fourth Head of Orochi, Level 54,000
Crocell, Fifth Head of Orochi, Level 53,000
Ose, Sixth Head of Orochi, Level 51,000
Amdusias, Seventh Head of Orochi, Level 50,000
Seere, Eighth Head of Orochi, Level 50,000
Fighting Hongjun was Mao Miaomiao’s limit with his current immortal physique. He didn’t have the confidence to fight eight supreme deities at once even though he was an ex-sage.
For now, he chose to retreat and focus on the crisis at hand. He turned around and flew back to the battlefield. While he was at it, he consulted with Mu-Nyang.
“What’s Orochi doing here? I thought he perished in the previous era.”
[Mu-Nyang]: “It’s Solomon’s doing, munya. He created the third Orochi by combining his subordinates, munya.”
“Third? So, Clem successfully became the second when I was out?”
[Mu-Nyang]: “Yes, munya. She’s the second. Oh, by the way, you should hurry. Things don’t look well inside the dungeon. We got casualties.”
“Tsk!”
Mao Miaomiao accelerated and landed in front of the Slave Dungeon’s cave. His mandate domain erupted, sending a shockwave. The blast hit the immortals nearby, turning them to blood mist instantly.
Without looting or checking the corpses, Mao Miaomiao rushed into the dungeon.
