Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 156, Section 155: Rahu Escapes
Luo Hou watched expressionlessly as the Creation Demon God was completely annihilated.

What do former allies amount to?
In this world today, power is the most important thing.

As the demon god was absorbed, Rahu's true spirit shone brighter and his primordial spirit became more powerful, leading to a deeper understanding of this world.

He had discovered that this was the world created by fate, and that there was definitely more than one of these strange bodies.

Judging from the number of demons in this body, the demons who returned were divided into about eighty-one groups. Although it is unknown what eighty-one represents, it is still a piece of information.

After Luo Hou had completely digested everything about the Creation Demon God, he discovered that this body exuded an extremely familiar aura.

That was the aura of a former ferocious beast—no, to be precise, not the aura of a ferocious beast, but rather the aura that carried on the fate of that former ferocious beast, the fate that destroyed the primordial world.

Luo Hou's expression was somewhat grim. He roughly knew what Fate wanted to do: to make these Chaos Gods work for him to destroy the prehistoric world and become his puppets.

Now that the main thread of fate is completely bound, the Chaos God born from fate is powerless to resist and can only become his puppet, controlled by him.

"Fate, you are disgusting."

Luo Hou cursed, trying to tear apart the main vein of destiny rooted deep in his true spirit, but the power of destiny repeatedly caused his power to miss and deviate to another place.

He had never felt this disgusting feeling before. He, Luo Hou, had always been the one scheming against everything. When had he ever been schemed against?

"Fate, come out! I know you're here!"

Rahu roared.

"Oh? Rahu, you don't look like a demon ancestor who wants to transcend the path of enlightenment. You look more like a clown." With Rahu's roar, fate slowly appeared, mocking Rahu to the extreme.

Seeing that fate had emerged, Luo Hou became calm and said softly, "Fate, can you really break fate by doing this?"

"The embodiment of fate is controlled by fate. How ridiculous, how ridiculous! Hahahahahahaha."

Rahu laughed loudly, disregarding life and death, mocking the fate that held his life and death in its hands. How laughable it was that the one who wove fate was controlled by fate.

Fate's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he calmly said, "Regardless of whether you can break the established facts, at least you cannot escape my control and can only become a puppet of fate."

Their eyes met, creating an invisible ripple in this world.

"Fate, let go. You can't defeat Ji Yuan. He is the final variable in the predetermined destiny. Everything you have arranged will be broken by him. You might as well die sooner and return to your wild father's embrace, or go to the future and be killed by Pangu, which is also a good choice." Luo Hou didn't care about fate's control over him at all, but instead mocked him to the extreme.

Fate's expression darkened, and he placed his hand on Rahu's head: "Then go and see for yourself, see if I have a chance."

A force that seemed to transcend fate itself surged into Luo Hou's primordial spirit. He saw a supreme figure that occupied the entire chaotic universe, carrying a sense of transcendence.

"Is He returning?"

Luo Hou's eyes were somewhat dazed.

"No, that's not right!"

Luo Hou went mad, his primordial spirit power erupted, and he self-destructed.

"Huh? When?"

Fate's gaze was strange; the thread of fate that was rooted deep within Rahu's true spirit had vanished without a trace. Rahu even used the demonic spirits within his primordial spirits as a barrier to protect his own true spirit and prevent it from falling into endless spacetime.

The beast's body was shattered by the force of its self-destruction, the beast egg cracked open, and the true spirit of Rahu disappeared without a trace.

"Trying to escape? Dream on!" Destiny used his magic, and the entire Western continent was reflected in his mind.

"As expected of Rahu, the most deeply hidden Chaos God."

In that very short time, guided by fate, Rahu had already reached the western border of the continent and was preparing to cross over to the eastern continent.

While preaching on Huaguo Mountain, Ji Yuan suddenly sensed a call from the depths of his heart.

"On the edge of the western continent."

The moment the thought arose, it instantly traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, arriving at the border between the Eastern and Western continents, where it happened to encounter fate and that spark of inspiration ahead.

As Fate saw Ji Yuan descend, a hint of anger flashed in its eyes. In an instant, a hazy divine light shot out, heading towards the spiritual light, seemingly intending to annihilate it completely.

Seeing what fate had in store, Ji Yuan knew he couldn't let it succeed. He wouldn't let fate do what it wanted.

"Yingjie·Yu!"

In an instant, the power of the realm of performance unleashed its greatest might, protecting that ray of spiritual light, rendering the attack from fate ineffective.

"Dao collapse!"

Holding the spiritual light in his hand, Ji Yuan immediately unleashed his most powerful divine ability, hurling it directly at Destiny.

Destiny's gaze remained unchanged. With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed the power of the entire Western Continent, completely shattering the Dao Collapse.

At this time, Ji Yuan returned to the Tongtian Jianmu tree.

Destiny glanced fiercely at the Dao-proving figure on the towering Jianmu tree before returning to the Temple of Destiny.

Surrounded by the other Dao-proving practitioners, Ji Yuan also produced that ray of spiritual light.

Everyone looked over, and their expressions changed again.

"Luo Hou? He actually escaped from the body of the ferocious beast."

"Quickly, quick, let's see if we can wake him up, so we can get some information."

"Please, everyone, do not be hasty. We would like Your Highness to conjure up a temporary body for him so that we may inquire about his condition." Ji Yuan's words quieted down the Dao Proverbs.

At this moment, Nuwa took out the Blood Pool of Creation and put Rahu into it.

The power of creation surged wildly, Rahu's true spirit gradually became complete, his primordial spirit power increased, and a flesh and blood body slowly condensed.

Luo Hou opened his eyes, still somewhat bewildered. He glanced at his surroundings, then at the onlookers, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, First Qilin? How did you all attain enlightenment?"

"And the Ancestral Witch, the Demon Emperor, even you have attained enlightenment."

"And you, Kunpeng, do you even deserve to prove your Dao?"

Luo Hou seemed unable to accept it for a moment. In one death and return, all those beings he had used as pawns had attained enlightenment, while he himself had become a fragmented primordial spirit and a damaged demon god.

Upon hearing Luo Hou's words, Kunpeng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said sharply, "What do you mean I'm worthy? Look at yourself now, how dare you talk to me? Do you believe I'll refine you into a magic weapon?" This infuriated him, as if he, Kunpeng, was some inferior being. He was clearly a primordial deity, a former overlord, so how could he be considered something inferior by Luo Hou?

Luo Hou seemed not to hear, and glanced at the blood pool where he was, exclaiming, "A Chaos Treasure? Whose Chaos Treasure is this? No Chaos Demon God has such a treasure."

"Wait a minute!" After carefully sensing the aura emanating from it, he exclaimed, "You guys crafted this yourselves?"

Rahu sensed an extremely pure sense of self-will above it; this was something he had created himself. Naturally generated chaotic treasures would never possess this aura.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It was just a disillusionment, so why had the primordial world become like this, where even the Chaos Treasures could be forged by themselves? This was simply going against the laws of the chaotic universe.

Luo Hou's shock is understandable. Chaos treasures are always born alongside the supreme Dao of the Chaos Demon God. The fact that they can be created means that this group of beings born after Chaos has the ability to usurp the "Dao Lord" of the Chaos Demon God's Dao.

"It's just a world evolved by Pangu, how can any living being reach this level? How can it be?" Luo Hou roared inwardly.

He didn't understand why, as a fellow chaotic demon god, he was so different from Pangu.

The struggle for the right path ended in failure, the return to the right path also ended in failure; it seemed as if everything was a failure.

"Sigh." Luo Hou sighed, his aura suddenly becoming listless, as if he had become indifferent to everything.

The assembled cultivators exchanged bewildered glances. Rahu's demeanor lacked the composure expected of a Chaos God; instead, he resembled a madman who had lost his mind.

Ji Yuan smiled slightly. This seemed quite normal. How long had Luo Hou pondered in the primordial land before he barely attained enlightenment, and even then, it was an incomplete and fragmented Dao.

Upon waking this morning, he saw the Primordial True Realm and witnessed beings who were once insignificant achieving sainthood, while he himself had become a true spirit without any support.

Overnight, their identities were reversed, and what they once pursued now seems meaningless.

“Luo Hou, now that you have escaped from fate, why not tell us about what happened there? Perhaps you will have another chance to come back,” Ji Yuan advised.

Luo Hou glanced at Ji Yuan, then turned his head away, refusing to look at him again.

Ji Yuan shook his head, the power belonging to the world of performance enveloped Luo Hou's true spirit.

Luo Hou's expression changed instantly. He sensed a mysterious aura that seemed to be able to recreate the universe for him, give him a body again, and allow him to walk the righteous path once more.

His eyes were filled with horror as he looked at Ji Yuan and said, "What is this thing? How does it have such power?"

Ji Yuan shook his head: "Tell me about the situation regarding fate, and I can help you grasp some of the true essence of the Dao."

Luo Hou nodded and said weakly, "We dozens of demon gods were trapped inside that giant egg, and fate has mixed us all into one body."

"That body carries the destiny of a ferocious beast, posing a deadly threat to the primordial world."

"I was the first to wake up inside that body and sensed something different."

"Fate wants to merge us all together, let our consciousnesses fight and devour each other in it, and finally a new consciousness will be born."

"By having the new consciousness take control of that body, we are essentially gathering everything from the other Chaos Gods together and giving it all to the new consciousness."

"But the demon god created in this way is incomplete and easily collapses, but its power is strong enough."

"I suspect that fate created these ferocious beasts to destroy the great Dao channels in the primordial world, and then let its own fate take its place, thereby controlling the entire primordial world."

After saying that, he sighed again, feeling that fate was cruel enough, no wonder he was controlled by fate.

Ji Yuan's eyes showed deep thought. He asked, "Senior Uncle, do you think this method of fate is feasible?"

After a moment's thought, Laozi said softly, "This way of fate won't work. Not to mention how important we are in the Primordial True World, even the Evolutionary Realm is an obstacle he can't overcome. Moreover, now that the Sacred Beast is about to emerge, there is almost no way to change fate."

"Luo Hou, is there anything else you want to say?" Ji Yuan asked again.

Laozi's words completely confused Rahu. What sacred beasts, what proportions, what the evolutionary world, fate is omnipresent and useless. The only way is to confront it head-on and break the law with force.

He asked doubtfully, "I've made myself very clear, don't you still understand?"

Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "Rahu, it seems you've forgotten about the unification of the Three Realms."

After speaking, a power belonging to the realm of performance was injected into Rahu's true spirit.

Images appeared in his field of vision.

Nuwa created the heavens and earth and attained the three saintly positions; Ji Yuan transformed the illusory world into reality; the primordial world was upgraded to the primordial true world; the paths of earth and man were sublimated; the saintly positions were no longer shackles, but assistance; the calamity beasts attacked; and finally, the boundless Kun appeared.

"Wow, so many changes have occurred in the primordial world?"

Luo Hou was stunned for a moment. Why did the Primordial World change so much? Why did it only change after he died? If he had known that the Primordial World could become the One True Realm, why would he have bothered to devour it? He could have just stayed in bed.

For a moment, Rahu felt very sad. Everything had gotten better after his death, and he hadn't gotten anything. All his past efforts had been in vain.

Ji Yuan nodded and smiled: "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Luo Hou's forced invasion of the Primordial World, I don't think we would have been able to upgrade the Primordial World."

Although the words were spoken lightly, they were undoubtedly a great mockery to Rahu.

He shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, I speculate that his evolution of the ferocious beast was ostensibly to destroy the primordial world, but in reality, it was to use the ferocious beast as an anchor point to evolve the formation of the Three Thousand Great Daos and open the spacetime barrier set up by Pangu."

"As for what I'm talking about, you've all been in contact with the Calamity Beast and that old thing Wuliang Kun, so you've always known."

"Who are you calling an old thing?" Wuliang Kun instantly appeared beside Luo Hou, and a large hand picked him up.

"Little Rahu, you've finally met your match."

"Boundless, you old bastard, I should have self-destructed and killed you back then!" Rahu cursed angrily.

Wuliang Kun paid no attention to Luo Hou's words. Streams of boundless energy fell, binding Luo Hou and swinging him around like a windmill in his hand.

"Senior Wuliang, is what Rahu said true?" Ji Yuan asked.

If it really is the return of the will of the chaotic universe, then their strategy will have to change again. Using the Three Thousand Great Daos as an array, they will unleash overwhelming power. They truly live up to their destiny.

Wuliang Kun nodded and said with a serious expression, "It is very likely. The connection between the Three Thousand Great Daos and Him is very deep. What Rahu said makes a lot of sense. However, Rahu has already run out. His Three Thousand Great Daos are incomplete, so he cannot use the complete formation at all."

"It seems that only a tiny crack can be opened to allow a little of His power to enter."

Ji Yuan nodded. If it was just a small amount of power, then he wasn't afraid. He was now confident enough to stop the destruction caused by that small amount of power.
