Chapter 167 The Yin-Yang Taoist and the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror (Please Subscribe)
The next moment, black light appeared out of thin air and spread towards Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West.

It seemed to contain countless malevolent energies colliding and merging, causing the space to sizzle and corrode wherever it passed.

Even the divine light emanating from Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West seemed to have its vitality absorbed by the black radiance, becoming dim.

Seeing the black light spreading towards him, Li Xuanyang's expression remained unchanged. He continued to gaze into the depths of the palace and chuckled as he said, "Fellow Daoist, this is not the way to treat a guest!"

"Or is it that the divine light and extraordinary phenomenon you just displayed was not an invitation for us to come and be your guests?"

Before he could finish speaking, the thirty-six Chaotic Heavens around Li Xuanyang suddenly shone with divine light, bursting forth with countless chaotic divine lights that instantly spread throughout the void, enveloping billions of miles of void and transforming it into a chaotic land.

Within it lies a unified primordial chaos, from which chaos arises. Then, the clear Yang becomes Heaven, and the turbid Yin becomes Earth. The clear Yang and the turbid Yin give rise to each other, revealing the Way of Primordial Chaos.

Both the black radiance and the various malevolent energies contained within it were completely eroded and assimilated by the chaotic divine light, turning into utter nothingness.

"Thirty-six Chaotic Heavens again!" The Queen Mother of the West looked at the thirty-six Chaotic Heavens and the Chaotic Divine Light shining brightly, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes. "The Primordial Dao and the Derivation of Chaos!"

"The power of these thirty-six chaotic heavens is so formidable that it could not possibly be derived from thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls. It is more like a Dao-proving artifact of a cultivator at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm!"

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother of the West shook her head. Li Xuanyang's Dao-attaining artifact was the Primordial Yin-Yang Divine Diagram, not the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, and had nothing to do with the Chaos Heavens.

"No wonder you were able to traverse the boundless chaotic void; you are extraordinary and deserve to be addressed as a fellow Daoist by me."

The already collapsed palace was reduced to dust, revealing a bottomless black spatial rift.

A completely withered Taoist priest slowly floated out from within, his robe tattered, covered in large patches of blood and dust, looking extremely worn.

However, at this moment, the Taoist's body seemed to be slowly recovering, and his body gradually radiated wisps of light. The gaze in his eyes was also becoming more and more intense as he was looking at Li Xuanyang and the thirty-six chaotic heavens with great interest.

"Fellow Daoist is only at the Three Corpse Quasi-Saint level, yet you can use the thirty-six chaotic heavens manifested around you to generate all sorts of changes from the Primordial Dao. Even I have to marvel at that!"

As he spoke, the radiance that had been emanating from his body suddenly transformed into a dense black divine light, which fell into the void.

Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West could only make out the outline of a Taoist priest, and could not see his specific face clearly at all. His entire body was wrapped in black divine light, and only his eyes became more and more intense, like two dazzling divine lights, shooting straight into the sky.

"So the divine light we just saw was actually a strange phenomenon caused by the Taoist's gaze!" Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West exchanged a glance, both showing wary expressions.

Li Xuanyang could even clearly sense that the vast and unfathomable black divine light contained around this Taoist was extremely powerful, completely different from his own physical body and the Three Flowers of the Primordial Spirit Dao.

The next moment, he stepped through the void, bringing boundless pressure, and arrived in front of Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West.

In an instant, the chaotic divine light spanning billions of miles shattered, and the two suddenly felt the entire world pressing down on them, as if their primordial spirit and magical power were about to dissipate.

"Fellow Daoist, have you merged with the Dao through your body?"

"Is he the reincarnation of the true spirit of the Chaos Demon God of this Great Thousand World?" A solemn expression appeared on Li Xuanyang's face. The thirty-six Chaos Heavens around him began to operate, as if transforming into thirty-six Chaos Worlds, enveloping him and the Queen Mother of the West, and isolating them from the oppressive power of this Great Thousand World.

The Queen Mother of the West immediately felt a sense of relief throughout her body, and looked at the Taoist with a mixture of surprise and doubt, thinking about what Li Xuanyang had just said.

"Or perhaps, both!" Li Xuanyang's eyes blazed with golden light, and the laws of the Chaos Great Dao emerged, as if he wanted to discern the Daoist's origins.

"Whether I am a being who has merged with the Dao or a reincarnation of the true spirit of the Chaos Demon God, I am ultimately confined to this place." The Daoist seemed to sigh, then his tone shifted, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Fortunately, the arrival of you two fellow Daoists has given me a glimmer of hope to escape this predicament and return to the primordial world!"

As he spoke, the Taoist's body shone with a brilliant black light, almost turning the entire world into a dark space. Countless malevolent energies soared into the sky, the yin wind howled, and evil energy permeated the air, making him look completely different from before.

In the originally desolate world, countless souls appeared, biting and devouring each other. A mournful wind blew, and many huge souls, with resentful expressions, howled to the sky, seemingly extremely unwilling, drawing out boundless resentment.

Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West were trapped among countless souls. Looking at the sky filled with evil energy and resentment, shrouded in black divine light, it seemed that all the living beings and cultivators in the entire world had been refined into yin spirits by the Daoist in front of them. No wonder the whole world was desolate and barren.

"What is your relationship with the Beast Emperor Shen Ni?" Upon hearing the Taoist's words, Li Xuan Yang was shocked. It seemed that the Taoist in front of him also came from the prehistoric world.

"Back then, I merely borrowed the Great Millstone of Annihilation for a short time, and it had little to do with Shen Ni." Li Xuanyang suddenly brought up Shen Ni, which surprised the Daoist. He hadn't expected that after countless years, he would still hear the name of Shen Ni again.

"I see!" Li Xuanyang showed a look of realization, turned to the Queen Mother of the West and said, "Fellow Daoist, protect yourselves for now, leave this person to me."

Upon hearing Li Xuanyang's words, the Queen Mother of the West's expression changed slightly. She gave Li Xuanyang a deep look and warned, "This Daoist is no ordinary person with great supernatural powers. Fellow Daoist, please be very careful!"

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist!" Li Xuanyang didn't say much to the Queen Mother of the West. His body flashed with light, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. On a cloud of a size about an acre in size, the three flowers stood upright. The innate Xuanyang divine light soared into the sky, illuminating billions of miles of void. Souls and evil spirits were all melted away by the golden light and turned into nothingness.

Furthermore, wisps of golden firelight descended from the three flowers, while the innate Xuan Yang True Fire soared into the sky; on another three flowers nearby, the innate spiritual treasure Yin-Yang Lamp hung high, radiating black and white light, one yin and one yang, ever-changing, echoing the chaotic divine light emanating from the thirty-six chaotic heavens, revealing infinite mysteries.

"Innate Profound Yang True Fire!" Li Xuanyang shouted softly, pointing to the three flowers of his primordial spirit, which transformed into a sky full of golden true fire, almost igniting the black divine light in the void, illuminating half of the void with a great golden light, sharing the world equally with the Daoist's black divine light.

On one side was a pitch-black expanse of light, filled with malevolent energy, where countless souls wailed; on the other side, golden divine light shone brightly, golden flames burned domineeringly, and divine might was awe-inspiring.

"What divine light! It truly lives up to its reputation as the ultimate Yang technique. It can shatter all evils in the universe and possesses the power to be impervious to all magic and evil."

"But my Taoist magic is not evil." The Taoist chuckled and pointed at the void. In the midst of the black divine light, a white light instantly emerged, spreading out and transforming into alternating black and white, the sun and moon revolving, light and darkness giving birth to each other, and the birth and death of all things. It transformed into supreme divine power, sweeping away Li Xuanyang's innate Xuanyang divine light and innate Xuanyang true fire.

"The power of the world's origin!" Li Xuanyang's eyes narrowed, and for some reason, he suddenly recalled the names of several great supernatural beings in the struggle between Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou. He couldn't help but ask softly, "Are you the Yin-Yang Daoist?"

"Still the Daoist Qiankun?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, not only did the Taoist priest look surprised and turn to look at Li Xuanyang, but even the Queen Mother of the West was stunned and somewhat incredulous.

"Fellow Daoist just mentioned returning to the Primordial World, so you must have come from the Primordial World. Moreover, you are familiar with the Beast Emperor Shenni and can borrow the Chaos Treasure World-Destroying Millstone. It is clear that you are not an ordinary innate god or demon."

"After much thought, I believe that only the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Qiankun Daoist, these two great supernatural beings who are reincarnations of the Chaos Demon Gods, are worthy of your identity!" Li Xuanyang did not mention that the dark and light primordial forces contained within these black and white divine lights are opposite to each other, which is exactly the number of Yin and Yang.

It is a transformation of the laws of Yin and Yang and the laws of Qian and Kun. In the former, Yang is light and Yin is darkness; in the latter, Qian is Yang and Kun is Yin.

"Fellow Daoist, how did you learn of this?" the Queen Mother of the West asked Li Xuanyang.

Li Xuanyang did not answer, but stared intently at the Taoist and said, "After the great calamity of the dragon, phoenix and unicorn, the struggle between the Taoist and the demon arose. The demon ancestor Rahu set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation at the foot of Mount Sumeru with the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, which attracted four great supernatural beings of the same realm to break the formation."

"Besides Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there must be a fellow Daoist among the remaining three great supernatural beings!"

Besides the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Qiankun Daoist that Li Xuanyang has already mentioned, there is also the Great Immortal Yangmei.

"A battle between the Dao and the Demonic?"

"Hahaha, how ridiculous!" The Taoist suddenly burst into laughter. "That battle back then was merely a contest of the Great Dao, how could it be a contest between the Dao and the Demonic!"

"However, in the end, Hongjun was slightly better. He was fortunate enough to obtain the Chaos Treasure Creation Jade Disc to protect himself. Not only did he not suffer much damage in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, but he also forced the Demon Ancestor Rahu to self-destruct his physical body and primordial spirit."

"As for me and my fellow Daoist Qiankun, we were almost completely wiped out. Our Dao foundation was completely destroyed by the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Annihilation Millstone. Let alone breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, we couldn't even maintain our original Dao cultivation level."

"It seems that you are the Yin-Yang Daoist!" Li Xuanyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, indicating that his guess was correct.

"Did the Demon Ancestor Rahu perish in this battle?" Li Xuanyang then asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"Do you know what a Chaos Demon God is?" The Yin-Yang Taoist did not answer Li Xuanyang's question directly, but instead asked him.

What is a Chaos Demon God? "A Chaos Demon God was born from the three thousand Great Dao Laws before the chaos was created, thus fitting the number three thousand."

"Fellow Daoist, you are named after Yin and Yang, so you must be one of the Yin and Yang Demon Gods, born from the innate Yin and Yang Great Dao Law. I wonder if what I said is correct?" Li Xuanyang said with a thoughtful expression.

"Not bad, you do have some knowledge." Yin Yang Daoist nodded approvingly and said, "We Chaos Demon Gods are born from the laws of the Great Dao, so we are born to wield a law of the Great Dao and are almost coexisting with the Dao. Unless the origin of our laws is completely obliterated, even if our physical body and primordial spirit self-destruct, it will be difficult for us to completely die and disappear."

"So, the Demon Ancestor Rahu didn't really perish?" Li Xuanyang asked impatiently.

"Perhaps!" After hearing Li Xuanyang's words, Yin Yang Daoist said indifferently, "In the battle with Luo Hou, I was already severely injured. Later, I was also affected by Luo Hou's self-destruction. I spent hundreds of millions of years cultivating in the prehistoric world before I was able to recover some of my injuries."

"I never expected to encounter Shen Ni right after I was born, and to learn that the Great Millstone of Annihilation had fallen into his hands. As for whether Rahu has completely perished, I don't know either."

"Fellow Daoist, is your arrival here related to Shen Ni?" Li Xuanyang asked again.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you think you're asking a bit too many questions?" Yin Yang Daoist suddenly said, waving his hand and sending out a burst of magical power that fell into the divine light that was changing between black and white. Suddenly, countless Yin and Yang laws of power were generated and fell towards Li Xuanyang and the Queen Mother of the West.

"Thirty-six Chaotic Heavens!" Upon seeing this, Li Xuanyang's expression turned solemn. He poured out his magical power towards the thirty-six chaotic heavens, and chaotic divine light and chaotic laws emerged, heading towards the black and white divine light and yin-yang law power of the Yin-Yang Daoist. The two sides clashed again.

Although Li Xuanyang possessed the thirty-six Chaotic Heavens and his internal magical power was almost inexhaustible, he was still slightly at a disadvantage when facing the Yin-Yang Daoist, who had almost merged with the Dao. However, he did not show any signs of defeat, and his divine powers and magic became even stronger.

The collision of the two divine lights annihilated countless spaces, almost shattering the entire Great Thousand World into pieces.

"Although this world is not as perfect as the primordial world, it is still a vast world. Now it is entirely under my control. Even if you have broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, let alone if you haven't, you will only end up defeated. Don't waste your efforts!"

After the Yin-Yang Taoist finished speaking, Li Xuanyang couldn't help but smile. "If I hadn't been prepared, why would I have come here rashly!"

"Undying Chaos Body, rise!" With a thought, Li Xuanyang pushed the Undying Chaos Body technique to its limit. Boundless chaotic energy surged from the thirty-six chaotic heavens and merged into his physical body, transforming his entire body into a size of a million feet.

Like a chaotic demon god reborn, he stood in the void, surrounded by countless boundless chaotic divine lights, with chaotic heavens surrounding him, illuminating the world with a radiant glow, and faintly resounding immortal music, displaying all sorts of strange phenomena.

"Sword, come!" Li Xuanyang roared, taking out the creation artifact nurtured by the Chaos Pearl and holding it in his palm, transforming it into a gray sword.

"Today, I will shatter this great world and see how you control it!" Li Xuanyang roared again, and the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact in his hand slammed down into the void. His supreme divine might emanated, countless laws were destroyed, and heaven and earth wailed, as if the entire world would repeat the cycle of earth, wind, water, and fire, turning into chaos.

The Chaos Undying Body is a method of proving the Dao through force, and the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact was forged to open up the world and prove the Dao. It can destroy the laws of the Heavenly Dao, and naturally it can also destroy a vast world.

"The method of proving the Dao through force!" The Yin-Yang Daoist's expression finally changed, and a look of shock and anger flashed in his eyes. "You want to emulate Pangu and become saints by proving the Dao through force? You are simply delusional!"

"The Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror!"

The Yin-Yang Daoist roared, and the black and white divine light that filled the sky suddenly transformed into an exquisite mirror, one side being Yang and the other Yin, exuding a chaotic aura, almost merging with heaven and earth, becoming a black and white chaotic Yin-Yang divine light that enveloped Li Xuanyang.

"Not good!" The Queen Mother of the West's expression changed. The Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror gave her an irresistible feeling. It was as if she was facing not a primordial spiritual treasure, but the very origin of the primordial Yin-Yang Great Dao. Suddenly realizing something, she hurriedly reminded Li Xuanyang, "This is the Yin-Yang Demon God's innate treasure. You cannot fight it by force!"

"Open!" Li Xuanyang not only showed no intention of stopping, but instead faced the black and white chaotic yin and yang divine light and slammed the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact in his hand down hard, which exploded with a loud bang.

The divine artifact of creation clashed with the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror, and the Chaos Sword Light and Chaos Yin-Yang Divine Light intersected, causing the heavens and earth to shatter and be annihilated. Along with it, the entire Great Thousand World was forcibly shattered, creating a huge void gap, hundreds of millions of miles in size, seemingly boundless, into which countless chaotic energies surged wildly.

"Go!" Thirty-six chaotic heavens radiantly emanated from Li Xuanyang's body, transforming into a beam of chaotic divine light that rushed into the void gap and disappeared.

"This sword is!" A hint of shock flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Queen Mother of the West. A palm-sized emerald green willow branch emerged from the Kunlun Mirror, protecting her body. It also transformed into a divine light and rushed into the void gap.

The chaotic yin-yang divine light dissipated, revealing a mirror covered in cracks, completely unlike its previous exquisite appearance.

"Hongjun!"

"Yang Mei!"

"How dare you plot against me!" The Yin-Yang Daoist's face was extremely gloomy. He pointed at the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror and sent it flying into the void gap. Countless chaotic Yin-Yang divine lights fell down, blocking the spread of chaotic energy.

In the chaotic void.

"The Chaos Treasure!" Li Xuanyang's face turned pale, and he could no longer maintain the Chaos Undying Body. He could only dissipate it, spitting out a burst of golden blood mist. His aura flickered, and the thirty-six Chaos Heavens dimmed.

"Fellow Daoist, have you suffered any damage to your foundation?" The Queen Mother of the West had not fought with the Yin-Yang Daoist, and with the Kunlun Mirror and the willow branch protecting her, she was not seriously injured.

"It's nothing, just some minor injuries." Li Xuanyang wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth. He had only been affected by the recoil from the previous attack, which had impacted his primordial spirit and the thirty-six chaotic heavens.

Not only did it cause Li Xuanyang considerable injury, but it also caused cracks to appear on the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

On the contrary, the divine artifact he held was completely intact.

"The state of the Yin-Yang Daoist and the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror was not perfect either. It was as if he used the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror as a vessel to merge his primordial spirit and the origin of the Great Dao with the entire world."

"But I don't know why, unlike Master Hongjun who merged with the Dao, he did it by himself..." Li Xuanyang hesitated for a long time.

Hongjun Daozu's merging with the Dao was to complete the missing Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. Therefore, Hongjun is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not Hongjun.

However, the state of the Yin-Yang Taoist is as if he transforms himself into the Heavenly Dao, or replaces it.

"If I am not mistaken, the Yin-Yang Daoist originally intended to use the innate treasure, the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror, as a vessel to replace the Heavenly Dao of this Great Thousand World with his own primordial spirit."

"But in the end, some unknown change occurred, causing this vast world to become almost a dead zone, and he himself was trapped in the world, unable to escape." Li Xuanyang's expression was solemn. It could be said that the Yin-Yang Daoist had already succeeded more than halfway, having replaced the Heavenly Dao with the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror and his own primordial spirit.

"This Taoist priest was indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed at the last hurdle," the Queen Mother of the West said, shaking her head.

"By the way!" Li Xuanyang suddenly asked the Queen Mother of the West, "Fellow Daoist, did you just say that this Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror is the Yin-Yang Daoist's innate treasure?"

“That’s right.” Xi Wangmu nodded and said, “The Chaos Demon God is similar to the Primordial God and Demon God, and also has a companion. The companion of the Yin-Yang Demon God is the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror.”

"Could this be a supreme treasure of chaos?"

Just now, Li Xuanyang felt that the power of the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror was very strange. Although it did not feel as powerful as the Chaos Pearl and the World-Destroying Millstone, it far surpassed the innate treasures. It could even be used as a vessel to replace the Heavenly Dao of a great world along with the primordial spirit.

"It is not a Chaos Treasure, but a Chaos Spiritual Treasure!" The Queen Mother of the West shook her head and said.

"A Chaos Spiritual Treasure!" Li Xuanyang was taken aback, having never heard of the existence of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

"Most of the companion treasures of the Chaos Demon Gods are Chaos Spiritual Treasures, with only a very few Chaos Supreme Treasures, such as the World-Destroying Millstone," the Queen Mother of the West explained simply.

"However, almost all of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods perished under the Pangu Axe of the Great God Pangu, and the Chaos Treasures or Chaos Spiritual Treasures that were born with them were also shattered long ago."

"According to my guess, the Yin-Yang Daoist's companion treasure, the Chaos Yin-Yang Mirror, is definitely not intact, and may even be severely damaged, otherwise he would not have used it at the last moment."

At this point, the Queen Mother of the West's gaze fell upon the divine artifact in Li Xuanyang's hand. She saw that the sword was covered in a hazy gray, but it was not damaged in the slightest and its brilliance was not diminished.

“Fellow Daoist’s guess is not without reason.” Li Xuanyang nodded, thinking that his Chaos Pearl, the Creation Jade Disc of Hongjun Daozu, and the World-Destroying Millstone of Beast Emperor Shenni were all not intact and had been affected by the creation of the world by Pangu.

"Is the sword in your hand a Chaos Treasure?" Xi Wangmu couldn't help but ask. Only a sword of Chaos Treasure quality could remain completely undamaged when struck by the Chaos Yin Yang Mirror.

In response to Xi Wangmu's question, Li Xuanyang chuckled and said, "This item is not a Chaos Treasure, but merely a sword that I have refined."
