Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

In the chaotic void, the aftershocks of Pangu's true body disintegrating had not yet subsided. Void cracks spread like a spider web, and although the destructive black light of the Great Millstone had dimmed, it still faintly flickered with an ominous gleam.

The body of "True" was cleaved in two by the all-encompassing axe light, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the imprint of the Great Dao of Power howled like a wounded beast.

Although the blow was not fatal, it severely damaged its foundation. The pieced-together limbs moved slowly, and the power of reconstruction was greatly reduced.

Bai Jing's eyes were like torches. He took a step forward, and the void distorted as he arrived in front of "True" in an instant.

Behind Bai Jing, a thirty-six-petaled Chaos White Lotus appeared, its petals unfolding layer by layer, each petal containing the origin of chaos and radiating a pure and boundless chaotic aura.

Atop their heads floated a cyan-gold square-shaped vessel, ancient and imposing, its power suppressing all directions and stabilizing the void.

Holding the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, he was surrounded by 2998 Great Daos, the two most core being the Devouring Dao and the Purification Dao. Around these two Great Daos, the Laws of Power, Time, Space, and Creation flowed like a galaxy, transforming into halos to protect his body.

Without hesitation, Bai Jing unleashed a powerful axe strike. The Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, imbued with Bai Jing's divine might, tore through the chaos like the creation of the world, aiming straight for "Zhen's" brow.

On the newly reconstructed body of "Zhen", a deep bloodstain that revealed the bone immediately appeared. Chaotic energy surged within the bloodstain, and the mark of the Great Dao of Power flickered, as if it were wailing.

"True" let out a deep roar, and the mark between its brows shone brightly. It mobilized the Wood Dao and the Creation Dao from the Three Thousand Great Daos to fully repair its body.

The Great Way of Wood transforms into countless illusory green vines, entwining the bloodstains and infusing them with life, while the Great Way of Creation, like a five-colored divine light, reverses the injury, allowing the pieced-together limbs to heal rapidly.

At the same time, it wielded the Great Millstone of Annihilation to meet the challenge. As the millstone spun, destructive black light surged forth like a tide, carrying the law of annihilating all things, and crushed towards Bai Jing.

"You ants, just die obediently! Why are you blocking my way!" Zhen roared, unleashing the power of the Great Dao, splicing his body to expand, and throwing a punch straight at Bai Jing's face.

Bai Jing was not afraid at all and chose to confront "Zhen" head-on with a brutal punch. He flashed and swept his Heaven-Opening Axe, the blade of which collided with the fist energy of "Zhen".

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the chaotic void collapsed, and the forces of power collided, sparking countless sparks.

Bai Jing was surrounded by 2998 Great Daos protecting him, while the Four Extremes Square Venerable suppressed the void and stabilized his figure. The Chaos White Lotus emitted white light to purify the Great Daos and dissolve the black light of the World-Destroying Millstone.

Bai Jing swung his axe backhand, slashing at the "true" spliced ​​arm. The arm, pieced together from the body of a chaotic demon god, was slashed by the axe light, its scales shattering and blood and flesh splattering.

But Zhen did not retreat but advanced. The Great Dao of Power transformed into an invisible force field, slightly deflecting the axe light. Then, he kicked out with his thick leg, which carried earth-shattering power and smashed into Bai Jing's waist.

Bai Jing neither dodged nor evaded. The Four Extremes Square Venerable above his head shone brightly with azure-gold light, and the power of the Four Extremes transformed into a barrier, blocking the leg strike and producing a dull echo.

He seized the opportunity to press forward, unleashing five consecutive strikes with his Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. Each strike carried the power of a different Great Dao. The first strike merged with the Great Dao of Time and Space, distorting time with its axe light and slowing down "Zhen's" movements.

The second axe, drawing upon the great Dao of creation, produced a five-colored divine light on its blade, attempting to dismantle the assembled structure of "truth".

The third axe strike focused on the Dao of Power, unleashing pure force to clash head-on with the mark between "True's" eyebrows.

The fourth axe is Bai Jing's Purification Dao, which purifies all of Zhen's defensive measures.

The final strike is naturally the Devouring Dao, which directly engulfs all of Zhen's attack methods.

The axe light collided with the force field, shattering the void. A crack was cleaved in "Zhen's" chest, and the spliced ​​limbs inside wriggled. The green vines of the Wood Path grew wildly, attempting to repair it, but the purification power mixed in with Bai Jing's axe light had already slowed down the repair speed.

"True" was enraged, and the world-destroying millstone suddenly enlarged, its edge gleaming with black light like a blade as it swept towards Bai Jing.

With a thought, Bai Jing caused the Chaos White Lotus to rotate, its petals transforming into a white light barrier that blocked the black light.

He unleashed a punch, gathering the power of the Great Dao around him. The fist's aura contained the power of devouring the Great Dao, attempting to devour the force field of "truth".

Fists and axes clashed as the two engaged in close combat, the deafening roar echoing through the chaos.

Although the assembled body was bizarre, it possessed immense strength. With one claw, it grabbed Bai Jing's shoulder. The claw, made from the remains of an unknown chaotic demon god, carried the Great Dao of Fire, which could incinerate all things.

Bai Jing parried with the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, the blade severing the claws and fangs, blood splattering, but his shoulder was also burned by the Great Dao of Fire. The Four Extremes Venerable quickly suppressed it, dissipating the aftershocks.

The battle intensified, with Bai Jing's 2998 Great Daos surging like a tide, each strike targeting Zhen's weaknesses. He slashed at Zhen's leg with his axe, the Great Dao of Time and Space distorting space and stiffening the leg's movement. Then, he punched at Zhen's brow, the Great Dao of Devouring swallowing a portion of the light of the Great Dao of Power imprint.

True Nature was unwilling to be defeated like this, and His counterattack was like a storm. The black light of the Great Millstone of Annihilation kept crushing, and the Great Dao of Power transformed into countless arrows of force, shooting towards Bai Jing's body.

Bai Jing moved like a ghost, using the chaotic energy of the Chaotic White Lotus to dodge, while simultaneously swung his axe backhand, striking "Zhen" in the abdomen, leaving bloody gashes and dismembered limbs inside.

The two exchanged blows, fists and feet flying, axe light and black light intertwining, shattering the chaotic void and causing the laws to collapse.

Finally, Bai Jing seized the opportunity when Zhen's repair was slightly slowed down. He raised the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe high, and all 2998 Great Daos around him erupted at once. He shouted and slashed out with the axe!
This axe strike incorporated all of Bai Jing's power, possessing the might to split the heavens and earth. The axe light poured down like a galaxy, directly cleaving "Zhen" in two. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the world-destroying millstone let out a mournful cry as the cracks deepened.

Zhen roared and tried to reorganize, but Bai Jing did not give him a chance. He used the Purification Dao and Devouring Dao as the foundation and the 2996 Daos as the auxiliary, and unleashed his strongest divine power - Annihilation of All Things.

All that could be seen was that the power of the Great Dao around Bai Jing transformed into a black and white vortex. The purifying Great Dao was like a white light washing over it, the devouring Great Dao was like a black hole swallowing it, and the other Great Daos assisted and amplified it. The vortex swept towards the true fragments, blasting them into countless pieces!

The fragments drifted in the chaos, attempting to reassemble the body, but this time it wasn't so simple.

The Purification Dao cleansed its foundation, the Devouring Dao swallowed its vitality, and the restorative power of the Wood Dao and the Creation Dao was greatly weakened.

Moreover, the primordial saints around them, under Yang Mei's organization, have formed a spacetime field, directly sealing off and isolating this void.

Even a gecko trying to detach its tail and escape couldn't do that. However, given Bai Jing's current strength, completely eliminating him would still be difficult.

It was truly the evil intent of the Great God Pangu. In terms of life level, he was at the half-step Great Dao Realm, while Bai Jing only had the peak cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Realm. How could he possibly erase an existence at the half-step Great Dao Realm?

He could seal it, but he wouldn't do something as foolish as leaving the enemy alive and waiting for them to break the seal.

Then, Bai Jing's gaze sharpened, and he shouted, "The flame of humanity gathers within me!"

With Bai Jing's roar, the human realm in the primordial world suddenly trembled.

Nuwa, the ruler of humanity, was the first to respond. Following her, five human sages—Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Ying Zheng, and Confucius—simultaneously closed their eyes, their consciousness sinking into the human realm, connecting with the thoughts of countless people.

The distant mortal realm, Suirenshi, felt something, sat cross-legged, and a blazing fire ignited between his brows.

As the creator of the Way of the Fire, his Great Luo Dao Fruit is the original source of the Fire. With the emergence of his Great Luo Dao Fruit, Suirenshi's own Fire transformed into a ball of nine-colored divine flame, illuminating the primordial world.

In an instant, a flame ignited between the brows of all the humans in the primordial world, whether they were mortals, cultivators, or royalty.

The flames of ordinary humans are as faint as starlight, barely perceptible.

Those with profound cultivation, noble character, and high prestige will have flames burning like torches.

These flames converged from human villages, towns, and counties, transforming into crimson fire dragons that soared into the sky and pierced through the primordial world.

Farmers pray for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest; filial sons hope for their parents' longevity and good health; students yearn to pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to their ancestors; cultivators hope to achieve success in their cultivation and ascend to immortality... These wishes become the fuel for the fire, condensing into endless power, which, under the guidance of Suirenshi, crosses the void and surges into the chaotic battlefield.

The five sages of humanity joined forces: Fuxi guided the way with the music of the Fuxi Qin, Shennong led the way with the medicinal fragrance of the Shennong Cauldron, Xuanyuan cleared the path with the Xuanyuan Sword, Ying Zheng protected with the aura of an emperor, and Confucius empowered with his righteous energy. The fire dragon flowed like a river into the sea, pouring into Bai Jing's body.

Bai Jing's body trembled as the power of the smoldering flame surged in like a torrent. He clearly sensed the wishes of billions of humans—those ordinary yet sincere desires—transformed into endless faith and power, causing his body to shine brightly.

The Chaos White Lotus bloomed even more magnificently, the Four Extremes Square Venerable shimmered with azure-gold light, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe hummed, and the 2998 Great Daos resonated in unison.

At this moment, Bai Jing's aura surged, briefly breaking through the Heavenly Dao Realm and reaching the power of a half-step Great Dao Realm!
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "All living beings in the primordial world are fighting with all their might for their future. I will never allow you, this monster, to destroy their future!"

At this moment, Zhen had only recovered one arm, and the spliced ​​limbs were still struggling to reassemble. The mark of the Great Dao of Power was dim. He felt the terrifying aura on Bai Jing's body, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He could clearly sense that Bai Jing had already completely obliterated his power.

He threw the world-destroying millstone with all his might. The millstone spun, and the destructive black light, like billions of blades, swept towards Bai Jing in a final desperate attempt.

Bai Jing remained expressionless, casually slapping his palm. The palm wind, carrying the power of a half-step Great Dao Realm cultivator, easily tore through the black light and struck the World-Destroying Millstone.

With a crisp "crack, crack, crack~", the millstone of the World-Destroying Millstone was covered with cracks and finally collapsed. About half of it was directly shattered into powder, while the remaining half was directly blasted into the shattered chaotic space by Bai Jing's attack and disappeared.

The chaotic void trembled for a moment, and the terrifying power almost shattered Yangmei's time field. If it were not a Chaos Treasure, this attack would have been enough to completely destroy it!
A glint of light flashed in Bai Jing's eyes. He thought to himself, "The half-step Great Dao Realm is so powerful. A casual strike unleashed power several times greater than my previous all-out effort."

Seeing that the Great Millstone of Annihilation was gone, he became even more anxious. He tried his best to activate the Great Dao of Wood and the Great Dao of Creation to repair his body, but Bai Jing did not give him any chance.

With a thought, Bai Jing caused the thirty-six-petaled Chaos White Lotus behind him to bloom with holy light, and the Great Dao of Purification surged out like a tide, turning into boundless white light that instantly enveloped the fragments of "truth".

That white light was pure and flawless, washing away all filth and completely erasing true consciousness!
With a final, unwilling growl, the mark of the Great Dao of Power instantly dimmed.

Bai Jing then waved his hand, and the Four Extremes Venerable flew out, its azure-gold light shining brightly. The Devouring Dao was activated, transforming into a huge black hole vortex that sucked in all the true fragments.

Within the vortex, 2996 Great Daos assisted in its operation, their devouring power crushing everything. The truly pieced-together body was completely disintegrated within the vortex, and all the Great Dao imprints belonging to the Chaos Demon Gods were swallowed up and completely transformed into nourishment, merging into the Great Thousand World within the Four Extremes Venerable.

Thus, Zhen was completely destroyed, his presence vanished from the chaos, and the greatest threat to the primordial world disappeared.

Upon seeing this, all the saints smiled, raised their eyebrows, and withdrew the spacetime field. Nuwa also stopped communicating with humanity.

As the flame of humanity was about to extinguish, Bai Jing reached out and grabbed the shattered matter from the previous world-destroying millstone, then poured it into the Four Extremes Square Venerable.

With the imprints of 2997 Chaos Demon Gods, and nourished by the material from the shattering of half a Chaos Treasure, the Great Thousand World within the Four Extremes Venerable has the potential to evolve into a complete Chaos World.

However, it is not the time to create the world yet. Bai Jing needs to wait until his cultivation truly reaches the half-step Great Dao Realm before he can create the world within the Four Extremes Venerable and make this world his Dao Fruit.

When his Dao Fruit is perfected, that will be the time for him to break through to the Great Dao Realm.

Moreover, since the Four Extremes Venerable was crafted by Bai Jing, he did not need to sacrifice himself like Pangu to transform into all things in the primordial world; he only needed to let this world evolve freely.

"Unfortunately, when I reached the half-step Great Dao Realm by borrowing the torch, I did not have a clear understanding of my own power. The World-Destroying Millstone was taken away somewhere, and it would be extremely difficult to find it."

Otherwise, if the Great Millstone of Annihilation were directly integrated into the Four Extremes Venerable Ones, the starting point of the world within the Four Extremes Venerable Ones would be no less than the Primordial World created by the Great God Pangu. In fact, the world within the Four Extremes Venerable Ones is still half a step inferior to the Primordial World. Bai Jing thought to himself.

Bai Jing's actions were naturally seen by the Sages, but given their current level of understanding, they did not understand what Bai Jing was doing. They only assumed that he had collected the fragments of the World-Destroying Millstone to refine some kind of spiritual treasure.

After all, everyone knows that Bai Jing is the strongest weapon-refining master in the primordial world.

With this matter settled, Bai Jing released the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, which returned to its original form as the Taiji Diagram. The Pangu Banner and the Chaos Bell, the three innate treasures, returned to their respective owners.

After bidding farewell to each other, the saints returned to the primordial world. With their passing, the primordial world seemed to undergo some subtle changes, though these changes were currently too minor for any cultivator other than the saints to perceive. (End of Chapter)
