This is so dishonest!

Chapter 396 Breakthrough to Taiyi Daluo! [Three chapters combined, 15 bonus chapters]

Come, let's step into a new era together!

The seemingly calm and indifferent words of the Great God Pangu, which in fact contained an unquestionable and resolute will, struck like a bolt of chaotic divine thunder, slamming into the heads of every surviving chaotic demon god.

In an instant, it shattered the last shred of hope and chance in the hearts of the demons!
"Do not--!!!"

"Pangu! You've gone mad! You're a lunatic!!"

"This isn't saving the world! This is destroying the world! You're a complete and utter executioner!!"

"Do you really intend to slaughter all of us who were born in the chaos alongside you?!"

After a brief silence, the Chaos Gods finally recovered from their extreme shock and disbelief.

Instead, there was overwhelming anger and endless fear.

And the hysterical madness that erupts when cornered!

They roared and condemned Pangu with the most vicious and desperate words, using every curse and insult imaginable.

However, faced with the fervent anger and desperate struggle of the demons and gods, the ancient face of the great god Pangu still bore that heavy expression of compassion and pity, as if bearing the destiny of the entire era.

His will remained unwavering and unchanged.

He simply raised the giant axe in his hand once more, silently.

The gleaming axe blade clearly reflected the twisted, ferocious, and resentful faces of each Chaos God.

Condemnation and abuse seem so pale and powerless at this moment.

When the last hope of survival is completely extinguished.

The shadow of death has already loomed over every living being.

Then, all that remains is the most primitive and brutal battle!

"Since you're not giving us a way out, then we'll fight you to the death!!"

To hell with the New Age, we only want Chaos!

"Pangu, you are not the savior, you are not!"

"Fellow Daoists, things have come to this point, further words are useless! Let us, the Chaos Demons, summon our last dignity and courage to defend our homeland!!"

"kill!!!"

In an instant, countless chaotic demons, driven by their will to survive and extreme rage, unleashed the most powerful force of their lives.

They each unleashed their natal artifacts and unleashed their supreme divine powers, launching a fierce attack on the towering Pangu without fear of death!
In an instant, the entire Chaos Sea was in an uproar.

Various terrifying and unparalleled laws of the Dao collided and annihilated each other, unleashing a terrifying torrent of energy powerful enough to destroy countless worlds.

The Space Demon is roaring, the Time Demon is howling.

Thousands of demons are fighting for their lives!
However, what is truly disheartening is that all these seemingly terrifying acts of resistance are utterly powerless in the face of Pangu's absolute strength.

In the face of a truly serious Pangu, these so-called "genuine" Chaos Gods seem to be no different in essence from the "replicas of the Daoist Gods" that Pangu had previously dealt with as easily as chopping vegetables!

The same fragility, the same powerlessness, the same sorrow!

"No... Impossible! This is impossible!"

"I am also a Great Dao Demon God born from Chaos! Why... why am I so weak?!" The Defense Demon God let out an incredulous wail after his natal tortoise shell was cleaved into dust by Pangu's axe.

At that moment, an absurd yet chilling thought flashed through the minds of many Chaos Gods.

"Could it be...could it be that I am the 'fake' Chaos Demon God?!"

They developed deep self-doubt.

Both were born from chaos and both are demon gods who wield the origin of a great Dao.

Why was Pangu so ridiculously powerful and unreasonable?!
However, their question was destined to remain unanswered.

With each seemingly slow but actually extremely fast swing of Pangu's axe, a chaotic demon god would inevitably fall, filled with resentment, anger, and despair.

Its demonic body was instantly disintegrated, and its fundamental Dao was completely obliterated.

The Demon God of Cause and Effect, the Demon God of Heaven and Earth, the Demon God of Yin and Yang, the Demon God of Vastness, the Demon God of Music—one by one, these powerful Chaos Demon Gods met their end.

Pangu, the great god, held the giant axe that split the heavens and earth, yet his ancient face always carried a trace of compassion.

As he wielded his giant axe to send the demon god to his grave, he sincerely said, "Fellow Daoists, do not be afraid."

"Death is not the true end, but the beginning of another journey."

"The old chaotic era is beyond saving; it has come to an end."

"A brand new world, full of light and hope, awaits us."

"For the sake of our shared bright future, and to continue the glory of the chaotic era, I, Pangu, have no choice but to bear this sin and personally bury everything that once existed."

"The entire Chaos, you, and me!"

Pangu laughed and said, "I will accompany you into a new era!"

After the great god Pangu spoke these words in a gentle tone, words that sent chills down the spines of the demon gods yet seemed to carry a sense of sacred mission.

The giant axe in his hand finally cleaved down the last Chaos Demon God who stubbornly resisted.

When the last Chaos God fell, and His last drop of blood was completely drained, merging into this hazy, chaotic sea.

The entire universe seemed to have fallen into a deathly stillness, completely and eternally.

Pangu's towering, majestic body now stands quietly atop the Chaos Lotus.

Beneath his feet lay countless fragments of the primordial essence, formed from the fall of chaotic demons.

In his hand was the giant axe that still radiated a chilling light.

Alone and solitary, standing alone.

In this vast, desolate chaos, even His figure appeared somewhat forlorn.

"Oh~~~"

A long sigh, filled with endless vicissitudes and a faint weariness, echoed through the vast chaos.

He silently raised his head and looked at the huge chaotic rift not far away.

Even with all his might before his death, the Destroyer God Yu Chen Daojun could only open a crack in the world-destroying millstone.

But the crack continues to widen, emanating a chilling aura of impending doom.

"Come!"

He slowly raised his palm and gently gestured towards the chaotic rift.

In an instant, the world-destroying millstones that had completely collapsed and scattered into the purest nothingness with the fall of the [Destruction Demon God] Yu Chen Daojun suddenly reappeared as if summoned by some mysterious power!
However, the aura emanating from the World-Destroying Millstone at this moment seems slightly different from that when the [Destruction Demon God] Jade Emperor Daoist was in charge.

Based on the pure meaning of destruction, Pangu also imbued the world-destroying millstone with an ineffable sense of creation and rebirth.

The great god Pangu gently held the newly manifested millstone of destruction, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar boundless power contained within it, a smile appearing in his calm eyes.

He muttered to himself, "The old is gone, so let's start anew!"

Rumble~~~
With a thought from the Great God Pangu, the millstone in his hand began to slowly turn again!

This time, it no longer devours and grinds aimlessly.

Instead, it created a mysterious and wondrous resonance with that enormous chaotic rift!

Under the combined blessing of the terrifying grinding power of the Great Millstone of Annihilation and the supreme power of the Great God Pangu himself, the speed at which the chaotic rift, which was already expanding, increased dramatically.

The edge of the crack was no longer simply lifeless and empty, but began to faintly radiate an unprecedented, incomparably blazing and dazzling light of creation, full of endless vitality and hope!
This light was so dazzling, so warm, as if it could dispel all the darkness and gloom in the chaos and illuminate the road to a new era!

The old, chaotic era has irreversibly come to its inevitable end.

And a new primordial era, full of infinite possibilities and endless hope.

And it will soon be the final turn of the world-destroying millstone and the giant axe of Pangu that opens the heavens and the earth, that will officially begin its magnificent prelude!

"it's over!"

Within the core space of the Chaos Green Lotus, the five innate spirits transformed from the five supreme beings—Sanqing, Fuxi, and Nuwa—as well as Jieyin and Zhunti, who had transformed into two inconspicuous lotus seeds deep within the lotus platform, all witnessed this epic battle.

They silently gazed at Pangu's towering, majestic figure.

Watch as this great god single-handedly sweeps away three thousand demon gods.

And how did he personally drive the entire Old Chaos Era to its end?

These are all things they must learn after becoming Taiyi.

Therefore, they watched it with exceptional care.

They saw that every heavy breath of Pangu, as he gathered his power, transformed into the prelude to the creation of the world, shaking the entire chaos.

They saw the colossal axe, which had drunk the blood of countless demons and gods, once again swung high, cleaving through eternal darkness and cutting out the first ray of dawn in a new era.

They saw that the originally chaotic and unified primordial energy was forcibly separated into pure and turbid energies under the supreme power of the god Pangu.

The pure air rises to become the sky, while the turbid air sinks to become the earth.

Gradually, against the backdrop of the ever-expanding chaotic rifts and the ever-increasing brilliance of the light of creation.

The vague yet infinitely possible prototype of a new world is slowly emerging.

Everything about the Chaos Gods was completely decomposed, reshaped, and integrated into this new world prototype during Pangu's creation of the world.

Pangu did not lie to them.

He truly led a group of demons into a new era.

It was merely that, in the capacity of "nourishment," the other party became the cornerstone of the myriad laws and endless matter that constitute this new era.

And at that very moment, at that crucial instant when the old and new eras were transitioning and the order of Yin and Yang was being established.

One after another, beams of innate, undying spiritual light, some bright and some dim, broke free from the old chaotic era that was about to be completely extinguished.

They crossed the boundary between life and death, the end and the beginning, and rushed into this newly born, boundless, and hopeful new era of primordial world!
These innate, immortal spiritual lights are none other than the innate deities of later generations.

"Phew—! Finally...finally we made it through! It was so hard!" A ray of light, filled with the joy of surviving a calamity, couldn't help but shout excitedly the moment it stepped into the new era.

"Hahaha! In the beginning of creation, the Great Dao was revealed, and the laws and order were not yet established. This is the perfect opportunity for us to seize the initiative, occupy a good position, and lay a solid foundation for future enlightenment!"

"Fellow Daoists, do not hesitate, act quickly!"

Another beam of light, brimming with ambition and drive, sped off without hesitation toward a direction emanating a rich aura of innate energy.

"Alas! What a pity! This journey through chaos, though extremely dangerous and fraught with peril, ultimately failed to secure a connection with the great god Pangu and thus did not obtain the supreme fortune of the 'true lineage of Pangu' like the Three Pure Ones."

"However, fortunately, I've managed to secure a place in the new era, and my own Great Dao has also improved, so it's not too bad!" Another ray of light, after assessing its own situation, let out a slightly regretful yet quite satisfied sigh. "Hehe! This trip was worthwhile! I not only successfully strengthened my Great Dao imprint, but also modified my innate foundation. My future path will surely be smoother! Excellent! Excellent!"

Another spark of inspiration, after confirming the success of his "opportunistic" scheme, let out a smug chuckle.

The primordial deities, like birds that have just escaped their cages, are rushing to cross the boundary between the old and new eras and fly towards this brand-new, infinitely possible primordial world.

They were terrified that if they were even a fraction of a second too slow, they might encounter some unpredictable circumstance and be left behind in the old chaotic era.

If we're not careful, we could really be swept away along with the complete end of this era!
Especially those "newbie Great Luo" cultivators who have just broken through after the Zixiao Palace Conference, whose cultivation is still shallow and whose experience is insufficient.

At this moment, their mood was like that of frightened birds, filled with lingering fear and unease.

They were truly terrified by this "chaotic deep dive tour"!

Filled with boundless longing for the chaotic era and a persistent yearning for the origin of the Great Dao, everyone painstakingly went against the flow of time and finally arrived at this legendary "Primordial Era".

The results of it?
They hadn't had a chance to properly explore the Ocean of Chaos.

They were wiped out in a completely daze by the [Balance Demon]!
Finally, the great god Pangu appeared to "uphold justice" and clean up those hateful "rebellious demons".

They thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, peacefully observe the grand opening ceremony, and perhaps even pick up some scraps.

The result was good.

Turning around, I saw that the [Destruction God] had gone mad and was about to destroy the world.

The great god Pangu, who had just been upholding justice, declared that he had to become the savior who would "reopen the era"!
Then, this "rescue".

They were all killed!

"This chaotic era is too dark!"

"It's a truly perilous journey, full of traps at every turn!"

"Yes, yes! What happened to the promised primordial chaos and simplicity? What happened to the saying that the great Dao is simple? We haven't seen any of that!"

Many of the "newbie Luo" who were fortunate enough to return to the new era with their true spirits, after landing safely, recalled their brief but exciting "journey" in the chaotic era and were filled with emotion and sighs.

Before they came, they hadn't completely done their "homework."

I also inquired with those experienced, veteran Grand Luo Supremes who had traveled back in time to the Chaos more than once about some things and precautions regarding the "Creation Era".

However, most of the veteran Ronaldo players are tight-lipped about this and unwilling to talk about it, as if that experience was some kind of taboo.

The few supreme beings who were willing to speak about their experiences only briefly explained the general situation in a few words, while remaining vague and glossed over the many dangers and "unspoken rules" involved.

These "newbies" could never have imagined that this seemingly simple and brutal era of "Pangu creating the world and demons suffering calamity" actually concealed so many intricate and unpredictable "behind-the-scenes" plot twists and "plot kills"!

"So it turns out that the great god Pangu wasn't actually a simple 'world-destroying demon,' but rather a 'tragic hero' who had to ruthlessly kill in order to save chaos and usher in a new era?"

New players are beginning to have a completely different understanding of Pangu's image.

"And then there's 'Hongjun,' who stirred up trouble and committed countless evil deeds during the chaotic era!"

These novice Luo players, after experiencing this "chaotic life-and-death tribulation," all expressed that they had truly broadened their horizons!

~~
Boom! ! !
Just as those innate deities from later generations, filled with the relief of surviving the calamity and a new understanding of the complexities of the chaotic era, were pouring into the new era's primordial world.

The nascent primordial world that had just begun to take shape suddenly underwent a violent transformation!
The two energies, which should have been clearly distinct, now seemed to be converging again and merging into a unified, hazy state.

If left unchecked, this newly created world, which has been so painstakingly developed, will likely collapse again in an instant, turning back into a void of chaos.

At the same time, the new era's timeline, which had just been born along with the nascent world and was still in its infancy, began to shake violently.

It looked as if it might break or collapse at any moment!
When Pangu saw this, he gently pushed the giant axe that had opened the heavens!
hum-

The colossal axe that cleaved the heavens emitted a clear, resonant hum that shook the universe.

The supreme power of creation contained within it erupted instantly!
The next moment, this divine artifact that had accompanied Pangu for countless years split into three.

A divine light, its color a deep yellow, its shape like a scroll, upon which the yin and yang energies circulated, and the five elements and eight trigrams appeared, was none other than the Tai Chi diagram, symbolizing "balancing all things and suppressing everything"!
Once the Tai Chi diagram appeared, it transformed into a massive golden bridge spanning the heavens and the earth.

In an instant, it froze the four primordial elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, which were raging and on the verge of returning to chaos, restoring them to stability and balance, and laying the most solid foundation for the stability of the new world!

Another divine light, its color chaotic, its shape like an ancient bell, with the sun, moon and stars surrounding it, and mountains and rivers engraved on it, is the [Chaos Bell] that can "suppress time and space and control destiny"!
The Chaos Bell emitted a melodious yet majestic chime.

The New Era's timeline, which had been violently shaking and on the verge of breaking, instantly returned to stability and tranquility under the suppression of the bell's tolling.

Its flow has become smoother and more orderly!

The last ray of divine light, shaped like a banner, covered with divine patterns and crisscrossed with sword energy, was none other than the Pangu Banner, capable of "opening up the primordial chaos and governing all laws"!
The Pangu Banner transformed into countless incomparably sharp chaotic sword energies, filled with the dual essence of creation and destruction, sweeping towards the endless chaotic void beyond the nascent primordial world!

Wherever these chaotic sword energies passed, layers of void were opened up.

Within a very short time, the universe and its myriad realms were created around this newly formed primordial world.

After doing all this.

Pangu took another step forward.

He suddenly lifted upwards, supporting the sinking "sky"!
His feet stomped heavily on the newly formed "ground"!
"Grow! Grow! Grow!!!"

Pangu let out a series of deep, yet powerful, breaths.

His already enormous body, towering to the heavens, began to grow and expand in an unbelievable and boundless way at this moment!
As his body continued to grow taller, the primordial world, which was still only in a vague rudimentary form, expanded and extended infinitely in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The sky grows ever higher and farther;
The earth is growing thicker and thicker!
This process lasted for an unknown period of time.

Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's eternity.

Until, the nascent world that had initially seemed somewhat illusory and unreal gradually became more solid.

Its internal laws and order have become more perfect, and the number of living beings and energy it can support has reached an unprecedented level.

Finally, when this newly born primordial world had completely stabilized and there was no longer any danger of returning to chaos.

The mighty body of Pangu, which supported the entire universe, seemed to have exhausted its last bit of strength.

His eyes, filled with both weariness and relief, took one last deep look at this beautiful and hopeful new world that he had created with his own hands.

Then, his enormous, towering body, as if it had lost all support, slowly, yet tragically, crashed down onto the newly formed earth below!

The sun, moon, and stars were born from his two eyes, hanging in the heavens, illuminating eternity!

Mountains and rivers, formed from the very essence of the earth, spread across the land and nourish all living beings!

Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning arise from the breath, joy, and anger of the creatures, harmonizing yin and yang and giving birth to life!

……

Pangu transformed himself into all things, completely and selflessly dedicating everything he had to this newborn primordial world!
And it was in this sacred process of Pangu creating all things and the great evolution of the world that things began.

Those seasoned, experienced Grand Luo Supremes who had been waiting for a long time finally seized the opportunity and chose to cross the threshold between the old and new eras.

They followed the path of Pangu and returned to the primordial era!

This is the safest and most profitable way for them to fleece Pangu after experiencing multiple "chaos creations"!

Since they cannot, like the Three Pure Ones, directly obtain the most core and precious legacy of Pangu from Pangu by virtue of their status as the "true descendants of Pangu,"

So, let's settle for second best.

They secretly plotted against the "components" formed after Pangu transformed into all things.

Isn't it an excellent way to indirectly improve one's foundation and fortune by incorporating even a trace of Pangu's aura?

For example, a certain veteran Da Luo who was proficient in the way of transformation quickly seized a strand of hair that the Great God Pangu had just shed and had not yet completely transformed into a mountain range. He then integrated it into his own origin, and it quietly transformed into an ancient and powerful chaotic serpent, which hid deep in the earth.

For example, another powerful being who wielded the Great Way of Wind cleverly followed the last long breath of the Great God Pangu, entrusting his true spirit to it, transforming it into a wisp of formless and shapeless primordial wind that contained the life force of Pangu, wandering between heaven and earth.

These veteran Ronaldo players are all very shrewd, knowing exactly which are the "red lines" and which are the "safe zones".

They absolutely dared not touch those crucial positions, which were formed from the core essence of the Great God Pangu and concerned the stability and future direction of the entire primordial world.

For example, Mount Buzhou, the core of the sun, moon and stars.

They were terrified that they might accidentally suffer a backlash from the Great Dao, ending up dead and their Dao would vanish.

However, those seemingly insignificant, non-core components transformed from Pangu, yet also containing a trace of Pangu's divine essence, are also important.

This became a "treasure trove" where these "speculators" could freely unleash their talents and scheme wildly!
Anyway, I've already been struck by lightning during this chaotic journey.

Having paid such a heavy price, if they don't try every means to obtain the identity of Pangu and gain a higher level of Dao certification, then their trip to Chaos would have been in vain.
Unlike the Great Luo Immortals who fought and competed for power in the newly formed primordial world.

The seven special beings who had been "hiding" within the core space of the Chaos Green Lotus—the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Zhunti and Jieyin, who had transformed into lotus seeds—appeared extremely leisurely and composed.

They were not in a hurry to appear in the world like other gods.

Instead, it remains in that mysterious state of "the spirit of the innate Great Dao" or "lotus seed," quietly waiting.

We await the arrival of that most crucial and special moment.

They waited until the Great God Pangu completely transformed into all things, and the laws and order of the entire primordial world basically stabilized.

They finally encountered the supreme treasure that had given birth to the great god Pangu and carried them through this "Chaos Trial"—the Thirty-Six-Petal Chaos Green Lotus. After completing its final mission, its body began to slowly disintegrate and dissipate.

It transformed into countless fragments of innate spiritual treasures, scattered throughout the primordial world.

Just as the Chaos Green Lotus completely dissipated!

The "Purifying White Lotus Seed," formed from the will of the Guide Daoist and imbued with the meaning of endless annihilation and purification, finally and silently detached itself from the soon-to-dissipate Green Lotus Origin, just as it had wished.

Following a mysterious causal guidance, it tore through the void and landed with unparalleled precision on the western land of the primordial wilderness.

The other "Golden Lotus Seed of Merit," which was formed from the will of the Daoist Zhunti and shone with golden light of merit, also attracted and perfectly merged with the origin of the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, which was destined to become his natal magic weapon, by taking advantage of the disintegration of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Ultimately, they arrived smoothly and without leaving a trace in the western wilderness.

The two brothers, one came as a "purifying white lotus seed" and the other returned as a "purifying white lotus seed".

One comes through the "Golden Lotus Seed of Merit" and ultimately returns through the origin of the "Golden Lotus Seed of Merit".

They perfectly realized their grand plan of "reversing cause and effect and modifying the foundation"!

As for the five figures: Sanqing, Fuxi, and Nuwa.

The five paths they transformed into symbolize the "Five Primordial Qi" of the most fundamental order of cosmic evolution, flowing through the void.

After the Chaos Green Lotus completely dissipated, it flowed downstream like the five most primordial and purest Great Dao torrents from the very beginning of the new era's primordial age.

Their Great Dao permeated every inch of space, every moment of time, and every law of the entire new universe, flowing throughout the entire era!

They became the most fundamental "Five Pillars" that supported the continuous operation of this new primordial world!
Their existence spanned the entire primordial era, subtly influencing the evolution and future of this world...

"The Great Dao of Taiyi is complete!"
