This is so dishonest!

Chapter 428 Demon God Pangu? [Two chapters combined, 6k]

Above the sky, the wills of the [Wisdom Demon God] and the [Puppet Demon God] shrouded the entire battlefield like two invisible dark clouds.

At the summit of the mountain, [God] Xuanqing sat calmly on his invisible throne, as if the desperate situation of being besieged by the seventeen demon gods was nothing more than an interesting drama.

The Kingdom of Heaven descended, and the Twelve Golden Immortals transformed into archangels, leading an endless army of angels to trap the five awakened primordial demon gods within a great array of light.

Within the formation, holy light flowed like a sea, and hymns surged like a tide, filled with absolute order and purifying power.

However, the five primordial demon gods in the formation did not show the slightest sign of panic.

Tartarus, the God of the Abyss, looked at the twelve imposing "archangels" and let out a disdainful sneer.

"Are they just some first or second-level Grand Luo Golden Immortals? How dare they set up an array here to besiege us?"

“You don’t even deserve the title of ‘senior’!”

Having experienced the bloody battles of the Chaos Era, the aura of these "angels" before him seemed utterly insignificant to him.

Having said that, he opened his mouth and spat out a black demonic spear formed from the very essence of the abyss, entwined with countless vengeful spirits and curses, which appeared in his hand.

"Roar of the Abyss!"

He hurled the demonic spear, which transformed into a colossal black dragon that devoured heaven and earth, carrying terrifying power capable of tearing apart the world, and slammed into the barrier of the Great Array of Light.

On the other side, Nyx, the Goddess of Night, and Erebus, the God of Darkness, also made their move at the same time.

They are natural allies and natural lovers, their fundamental principles complementing each other.

Nyx unfurled her cloak of night, which seemed to cover the entire universe, while Erebus released an eternal darkness that could confuse all senses.

Darkness and gloom intertwined, transforming into a chaotic tide that engulfed time and space and corroded all things, sweeping towards the entire angelic array with the momentum to completely blacken this pure land of heaven.

However, faced with this terrifying darkness, the Twelve Golden Immortals showed no fear whatsoever; instead, their faces revealed a kind of... blissful expression, as if they were in their own water.

The dark aura that was enough to shatter the Dao heart of ordinary light-elemental gods was rapidly absorbed and transformed upon contact with their holy wings, as if it had encountered some higher-level, same-origin power.

The base of the twelve archangels' holy white wings gradually took on a deep and noble dark hue.

"Oh dear, the wings are a little dirty."

Cihang Zhenren, who had transformed into a Cherubim, looked at the changes on his wings. Instead of being annoyed, he smiled and spoke softly.

“We angels who serve the light understand some of the ways of darkness, and use that knowledge to guide lost sheep. Isn’t that reasonable?”

"That makes sense, of course it makes sense!"

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, revealed a set of bright white teeth, smiling even more happily than Cihang.

"God is all-loving. We who live in the Kingdom of Heaven should naturally also have compassion in our hearts and understand the endless suffering of the beings in the underworld!"

"Therefore, occasionally falling into darkness is a common occurrence in our spiritual practice, and there is no need to be alarmed!"

The archangels around him nodded in deep agreement upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist's words are reasonable!"

Dark powers—to these celestial beings of the Chan Sect who came from hell, had dabbled in demonic ways, and served in the underworld, could that be considered an attack?
That's clearly a power boost from the enemy!
Do they know who their master is?

That is the Lord of the Underworld, a primordial deity even darker than the Dark God.

Therefore, even if the combined attack of Nyx and Erebus is extremely terrifying and enough to pollute the entire universe, it is still a formidable threat.

The Twelve Golden Immortals simply flapped their wings calmly and offered a nonchalant comment:
"The wings are slightly dirty, but it's no big deal."

The expressions on the blurred faces of Nyx, the Goddess of Night, and Erebus, the God of Darkness, froze instantly, falling into a deep silence.

They could sense that their original dark power, after entering the opponent's formation, was like a clay ox entering the sea; it not only failed to cause any damage, but instead seemed to provide nourishment to the opponent.

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

They were about to retort when Gaia, the Earth Mother, stopped them.

There's no need to engage in pointless arguments with them.

Gaia's voice was filled with ancient wisdom and profoundness; she saw through the essence of the great formation at a glance.

"This is not a pure killing formation; its purpose of 'trapping' far outweighs its purpose of 'killing.' Their goal is to buy time!"

"Concentrate our forces and force our way through!"

Upon hearing this, the twelve Golden Immortals all felt a chill run down their spines.

The Earth Mother Goddess was indeed insightful, seeing through their true intentions at a glance.

They were indeed stalling for time, making it easier for their master on the mountaintop to continue calling for reinforcements.

Or rather, preparing a more powerful backup plan.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Eros, the God of Love and Desire who had been silent all along, suddenly chuckled.

"Since it's about stalling for time, then let me make time stand still completely."

After awakening her demonic powers, she was no longer formless and shapeless.

Instead, it coalesced into a stunning goddess with unparalleled beauty, whose every glance could stir the instincts of all things.

The power she displayed was a million times greater than that of the previous Desire Titan.

"What you perceive as desire is not simply lust, nor merely the continuation of life."

Her voice was magical, as if it were expounding the ultimate truth of the universe.

"Love and hate, life and death, success and failure, gain and loss, even the movement of wind, rain and thunder, and the rotation of the sun, moon and stars—behind all these phenomena lies a most fundamental driving force."

"That is the desire for 'change' and the desire for 'existence'."

"If this most fundamental desire were taken away, the entire world would come to a standstill!"

Just as Zeus, the ancestral dragon, had a profound understanding of the great principles of "water" and "desire" that transcended mere appearances, Eros, the demon god of love and desire, had also touched upon the very essence of the concept of "desire" through his mastery of it.

She slowly raised her slender hand and gently clenched it in front of the entire angel formation.

In an instant, the wind stopped, the rain ceased, the thunder and lightning froze in the air, and even the flowing holy light and drifting hymns came to an eerie halt.

The angelic array, which had been operating continuously, came to a complete halt in that instant.

In the heavenly painting, the countless flying angels and the gently flowing spring of life are all frozen in time.

Even the Twelve Golden Immortals, who had long transcended the concept of the river of time and space, felt their souls and the Great Dao being forcibly "frozen" by an irresistible force at this moment.

They seemed to have returned to the river of time, becoming a vivid painting, eternally frozen in this moment.

Upon seeing this, the demons, including the God of the Abyss, the Goddess of Night, and the God of Darkness, immediately turned their gazes toward the summit of Mount Olympus.

The "God" Xuanqing, who had been sitting still the whole time, remained in the same position, completely motionless.

His gaze remained calm, but his body, his divine light, and everything around him seemed to be completely frozen in place by this terrifying power of "silence of all things."

Upon seeing this, Eros, the Demon God of Love and Desire, couldn't help but let a captivating smile curl at the corners of his lips.

"Very good, now that everything has come to a standstill."

"Now, let me turn all of this upside down!"

If the driving force that drives all things in the world is forcibly reversed, the resulting divine power will be no less than the true destruction of heaven and earth.

Then, her fair and jade-like hand slowly opened, following a trajectory completely opposite to what it had done before.

Buzz—! ! ! !

The entire frozen world began to operate in a frantic reverse order, defying all fundamental principles.

The angelic array instantly collapsed, and the holy angelic rays, like shattered white jade, emitted a crisp, melodious yet chilling sound of breaking.

Boom! ! !
Mount Olympus began to collapse and disintegrate violently, as if the entire mythological universe was about to collapse inward from the place where Xuanqing sat.

That terrifying power of the Great Dao, capable of reversing everything and carrying the supreme might to destroy countless ages, crushed fiercely towards the motionless figure.

However, just as that destructive power was about to touch Xuanqing...

Hua Hua Hua~~
Suddenly, ripples like water spread across the empty space.

The "God" Xuanqing, who should have been "frozen in time," actually walked out gracefully from the collapsed origin in a single step, his white robes spotless.

He seemed completely unaffected by the "silence of all things," simply watching a good show in quiet contemplation.

He calmly looked at the astonished [God of Love and Desire].

"All the driving forces behind world change?"

A faint smile played on Xuan Qing's lips.

"It sounds like what you're talking about is the 'cause of all effects'."

Upon hearing this, the alluring pupils of the [Demon God of Love and Desire] suddenly contracted.

Xuan Qing's smile deepened, but his voice became as solemn as an imperial decree.

"God created the world, which is the beginning of everything and the origin of all things; this is the 'first cause'."

“I am the cause of all effects.”

The moment the words fell, the entire mythological universe, which was in a state of reversal and collapse, suddenly trembled.

All the myriad paths that had been reversed, all the laws that had been distorted, at this moment, as if they had heard the most fundamental command, forcibly returned to their proper course.

The heavenly scroll reappeared, the angelic array was restored to its original state, and Mount Olympus was also restored to its original condition.

It was as if the cataclysmic scene that had just occurred had never happened.

puff!
[Eros, the God of Love and Desire] suffered a severe blow and suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood composed of primordial divine power, his face filled with unprecedented horror and terror.

Her path was similar to the other's.

They've really walked right into the line of fire!
And I was utterly defeated!

Xuan Qing broke through the [Demon God of Love and Desire]'s fundamental Dao, which was almost "the law of words," and the initiative on the entire battlefield changed hands instantly.

He no longer passively sat atop the mountain, but chose to take the initiative.

Clad in flowing white robes, with an impeccable bearing, he descended step by step from the void, each step blossoming beneath his feet into a golden lotus composed of order and light.

“Your sins are grave. Today, I will show you what the true ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ is.”

His voice was calm, yet it sent a chill down the spines of the five primordial demons.

At the same time, his divine sense also entered the great formation.

"There's no need to get entangled with them anymore."

"Activate the grand formation, draw upon the power of the Nine Netherworlds, and here, reopen Hell and recreate the cycle of reincarnation!"

"Today, I will bring perfect order to this universe!"

Upon hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals immediately understood.

They no longer maintained a simple trapping formation, but began to guide the power of the formation to resonate more deeply with the Heavenly Divine Realm that Xuan Qing had descended upon.

Then, Cihang Zhenren, who had transformed into the Angel of Wisdom, gently tossed the jade bottle in his hand.

The bottle was tilted, and what flowed out was no longer sweet, clear water, but a murky, black river filled with endless resentment and a sense of depravity.

In that long river, countless remnant souls wailed, and shattered divine essences rose and fell.

It was the projection of the River Styx, which runs through the entire Netherworld.

"In the name of compassion, all sinners shall enter the River Styx to wash away their karma." Master Cihang's voice was solemn and dignified.

Immediately afterwards, Julusun, who had transformed into the Angel of Power, took out his Immortal Binding Rope and shook it into the void.

The rope stretched out indefinitely, transforming into a pale white stone bridge spanning the River of Souls, filled with an aura of "confusion" and "forgetting".

At the end of the stone bridge, there is endless mist, obscuring both the way we came and the way home.

"On the Bridge of Helplessness, all is said; right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing."

The figure of a woman, dressed in a blood-red robe, with stunning beauty yet bearing endless sorrow, appeared and disappeared at the bridgehead.

That was a projection of Meng Wuyou's will.

She sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to evoke the deepest regret and resentment in the hearts of all living beings.

On the other side, Chi Jingzi and Huanglong Zhenren joined forces to activate the Yin and Yang energies, creating a vast space filled with the meaning of "judgment" and "reincarnation" in the lower reaches of the Soul River.

Scenes of hell, each symbolizing a different form of punishment, slowly emerge within.

"Kill without mercy!"

The figure of the Styx transformed into the Demon King of Hell and descended.

Mountains of knives, seas of fire, cauldrons of boiling oil, icebergs
All the dark forces began to expand.

In the center of that space, an enormous, slowly rotating wheel was gradually taking shape.

"Ok?"

At Mount Buzhou, Houtu's eyes flickered slightly. She felt a divine seal tremble within her sleeve.

Houtu took it out and saw that it was the seal of "Houtu Huangdiqi, who follows the example of Heaven" that was given to her by the underworld in the past.

"Finally, I have a job for this position?"

Houtu felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The Underworld Emperor said that his divine position did not yet have corresponding responsibilities, so he reserved the position for himself and then gave him a long vacation.

Now this divine seal is calling to me.

Does that mean I'll have to work in the underworld from now on?
"Okay, let's go take a look first."

Following this force, Houtu created a projection.

"Oh? This world is fun!"

Upon arriving in this universe, Houtu's eyes lit up, and she stared at the Earth Mother Goddess with her beautiful eyes.

[Earth Mother] Gaia couldn't help but take two steps back.
Heaven is above, and judgment is in the light.

The underworld lies below, a cycle of darkness.

Xuan Qing actually intends to create a complete reincarnation system out of thin air within his own divine realm.

This is no longer a simple battle; it is an unprecedented act of creation taking place on the canvas of a universe.

The five primordial demon gods were utterly shocked by this incredible scene before them.

They finally realized that the other side's goal was not to defeat them at all.

Instead, they should be packaged together with the "chaos" and "disorder" they represent and stuffed into this newly formed "order" system, becoming a part of it.

To become the foundation of hell, to become the nourishment for reincarnation.

This instills even more fear and humiliation in them than simply killing them.

"Don't think about it!"

The Earth Mother Goddess Gaia roared, drawing upon the power of the entire universe to create a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, which slammed down on the forming "underworld".

However, Houtu looked at her with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down, let's talk first!"

With a flick of her finger, a beam of dark yellow divine light, imbued with the meanings of "great virtue carries all things" and "reincarnation," struck the giant hand.

The moment Gaia's giant hand touched the divine light, it not only did not cause any damage, but instead uncontrollably merged into the newly born land, becoming a force that nourished the growth of the underworld.

Gaia let out a muffled groan as she felt her connection to the authority of this cosmic land being forcibly severed.

At the same time, Xuan Qing's figure appeared in front of Tartarus, the God of the Abyss, as if by teleportation.

"I've come to see you off, to take you to where you're meant to go."

He extended his fair, jade-like hand and, seemingly lightly, pressed it toward the very essence of the God of the Abyss.

Tartarus sensed a deadly threat. He concentrated all his abyssal power into a single point, transforming it into a destructive singularity, and met Xuan Qing's palm.

However, when Xuanqing's palm covered that singularity, all the destruction and chaos were instantly smoothed out.

That palm seemed to contain the most fundamental power of "suppression" and "sealing" in the universe.

"No!"

Tartarus let out a desperate wail as his very essence was forcibly pulled from the void by that hand and then mercilessly shoved into the surging River Styx below.

The source of darkness churned and struggled violently in the River Styx, but was entangled by the endless resentment and karmic fire within the river, unable to break free.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Qing's figure appeared behind Nyx, the Goddess of Night, and Erebus, the God of Darkness.

He reached out with both hands, one grasping at the eternal night, the other at the endless darkness.

"After day comes night; this is the order."

"Your paths still have some merit, so you shall govern the cycle of Yin and Yang in my underworld."

Before Nyx and Erebus could even resist, their essence was forcibly extracted by Xuanqing and transformed into a moon of the underworld radiating a cold, clear light, and an eternal twilight that shrouded the underworld.

In the blink of an eye, three of the five primordial demon gods were gone.

Only Eros, the Demon God of Love, and Gaia, the Earth Mother, remained, surrounded by the angelic array.

On the other side of the battlefield, Zeus, the ancestral dragon, led the Olympian gods in a fierce battle against the twelve Titans possessed by demons.

After Zulong completely unleashed his true nature, he became extremely powerful.

His transformation into the "Absolute Sea" almost completely submerged the "Chaos Creation Killing Array".

He single-handedly restrained more than eight Titans, including the Old God King Cronus.

Although Poseidon's "cute army" suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of the chaotic aura, the remaining elite troops continued to fight fiercely.

Hades, on the other hand, completely transformed into a "vengeful bunny boy," relentlessly attacking Cronus, whom he had "bumped into," with such deep resentment that even a true demon god was terrified.

He wasn't worried at all about Xuanqing's side having any problems.

Just kidding. Knowing the Heavenly Emperor as he does, he could capsize ten thousand times, but the Heavenly Emperor would never capsize even once.

The Heavenly Emperor represents absolute stability and ultimate victory.

~~~~
Meanwhile, in the void beyond the heavens, the [Puppet Demon God], who had been manipulating everything through puppet strings, now had fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

The situation collapsed much faster than he had anticipated.

He could feel that the threads he had extended were being rapidly purified and severed by a more powerful force of "order".

His control over the battlefield is rapidly diminishing.

A complex light flashed deep within the all-seeing eyes of the [Wise Demon God].

Should we sell him now and run away immediately?

This thought, like a venomous snake, grew wildly in her mind.

She glanced at the [Puppet Demon God] beside her, who was already somewhat flustered.

Just then, the Puppet Demon God suddenly turned to look at her, as if he had made his final decision.

He gritted his teeth and asked, word by word, "Now, we only have one choice."

"Should we awaken the [God of Chaos]?"

"Isn't he just a Taiyi Daluo at the fifth level of the Daluo realm? Do you really think we don't have any demon gods of equal strength?"

Awaken the God of Chaos!

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the [Wisdom Demon God].

The deity mentioned by the "Puppet Demon God" is none other than Chaos, the creator god of this mythological universe and the supreme creator!

Chaos, the creator god of this universe, is the greatest "masterpiece" created by these exiled Chaos Gods.

Its ultimate goal is to gather all the paths of the Chaos Gods and Demons and open a new path to eternity, unaffected by the Primordial True Realm.

Of course, at its core, this plan is based on the legend of Pangu.

However, the Chaos Gods are stubborn and unwilling to admit it.

"Pangu was also a Chaos God. What's wrong with us Chaos Gods learning from each other?"

"Besides, we are only learning from Pangu to create a new eternal god, a great transcendent being, not actually transforming into Pangu!"

"Even if we take a step back and say that we created the [God of Chaos], and Pangu was also born from chaos, in other words, we are looking for a father for Pangu!"

These were the words spoken by the [Wisdom Demon God] when he advised many other demon gods.

The last sentence was extremely effective.

It was with this sentence that she managed to get the Chaos Gods, who had learned their lesson, to cooperate deeply.

Now, they have forcibly deduced that the realm of this [God of Chaos] has reached the Taiyi stage.

They possessed terrifying power enough to operate independently outside the primordial universe, overlooking the changing eras and remaining unaffected by the primordial world.

This is the symbol of Taiyi Da Luo.

It is precisely because of this power that the [Wise Demon God] was able to seal off this universe and shield the primordial gods!

Similarly, it is precisely because of this plan that the Chaos Gods, even knowing that the Holy Heavenly Emperor had arrived, still sought to fight.

If we don't fight, how can we live up to the efforts of so many fellow cultivators?
If we don't fight, how can we verify their achievements in the Great Dao?
If they don't fight, and let Zeus become the ruler of this universe, wouldn't their plans just be paving the way for the enemy?

According to their plan, as long as they use the influence of the [God of Chaos] to gradually advance the succession of the God-King positions in this universe, they can help each future God-King pave the way for further study.

In this way, we can achieve breakthroughs first, which will drive breakthroughs later. Then, everyone can break through Taiyi together and unite to counterattack the Primordial World!

Unfortunately, the plan encountered unexpected changes.

Zeus was originally supposed to be the strongest god-king, destined to become the second god in this universe to break through to the fifth realm and lead the gods to glory.

It was actually an extraterrestrial demon!
When a chaotic demon god encounters an extraterrestrial demon, how can you reason with that!
More importantly, this extraterrestrial demon can break through the cosmic blockade and contact even stronger allies.

Now, facing that powerful and unreasonable "God," they must fight back against all odds!

The Wise Demon God took a deep breath, suppressing all thoughts of desertion in his mind.

"Fine, that's the only way!"

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she finally agreed to the [Puppet Demon God's] proposal.

"We respectfully invite the God of Chaos to descend!"

At this moment, the two supreme demon gods simultaneously unleashed their most primordial chaotic divine power.

Their will transcended time and space, connecting to the core and origin of this universe, to the "Chaotic Sea" that nurtures all things.

at the same time.

The twelve Titans, looking up to the sky, cried out.

"In the name of offspring, and through bloodlines, we respectfully invite the Creator, the God of Chaos, to awaken from his slumber!"

boom--!!!!!!!!

At this moment, the entire universe of Olympian mythology trembled violently and frantically.

Whether it's Mount Olympus where battles are raging, the distant, endless ocean, or the earth inhabited by mortals.

At this moment, all time and space, all laws, and all matter seemed to lose their meaning.

An ancient and indescribable, immense and unimaginable will slowly awakened from the depths of that chaotic sea.

A pure, primordial, and pre-existing "chaotic" aura, like the Big Bang, swept across the entire world.

The Olympian gods involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

At this moment, all living beings and all deities in the entire universe were deeply shaken.

That stems from the most fundamental source of life: reverence for the "Creator".

The sky cracked open, and the earth sank.

The entire universe seemed to be returning to its original, chaotic and ignorant state.

A colossal, indistinct figure composed of pure chaotic energy, so large that it defies any scale, slowly emerged from the cracked sky.

He has no specific facial features, no clear form.

He is chaos itself.

He is the beginning of all things, and also the end of all things.

His existence itself represents the "highest truth" of this universe.

Xuan Qing raised his head and looked at the towering, chaotic figure.

For the first time, a genuine, heartfelt admiration and... nostalgia appeared in those calm, unwavering eyes.

He thought of a long, long time ago, in that equally chaotic primordial world, that majestic figure wielding a giant axe, carving out a world for all living beings to survive.

Although their auras, paths, and realms differ, they are vastly different.

But the sentiment of "the creation of heaven and earth, the beginning of all things" is so similar.

Only two words came to mind for Xuan Qing.
