Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Tongtian spoke, his voice slightly deep:

"Taotie?"

"The leader of the Four Fiends, at the early stage of the Ninth Level of the Primordial Grand Luo Realm?"

"To be in a state of defiance against the divine?"

Xuan Du nodded:

"Exactly."

"Although the Taotie is powerful, it has a fatal weakness."

Tongtian frowned slightly:

"What weakness?"

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips:

"Greedy."

"The Taotie lives by devouring and feeds on the source."

"Its entire life is spent either eating or on its way to find food."

"As long as there is enough source as bait, it can be lured out."

"As long as it leaves the Xuanji Heaven Domain and escapes the range of Shenni's perception."

"The disciple will then have a way to subdue it."

Tongtian looked at him, his eyes gleaming.

Are you confident?

Xuan Du nodded:

"have."

"This disciple has already reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, possesses the foundation of a top-tier Chaos Demon God, holds the laws of martial arts, and is protected by the Chaos Pearl."

"Even if it's just the early stage of the Ninth Heaven, this disciple dares to fight."

"Moreover, I also have three beasts as my disciples: Chaos, Qiongqi, and Taotie."

"And the Chaos Silver Python is my disciple."

"With this disciple's sneak attack, it shouldn't be a problem."

Tongtian remained silent.

He gazed at Xuandu, at those calm yet resolute eyes.

a long time.

He nodded slowly.

"Go."

"Your master is on Jin'ao Island, waiting for your return."

Xuan Du bowed slightly:

"Thank you, Master."

He straightened up, turned around, and took a step forward.

The void rippled silently.

The figure in green vanished from Biyou Palace in an instant.

Tongtian stood alone before the cloud bed, gazing at the vanished figure and the gradually healing void.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"Taotie"

He murmured softly:

"Early stage of the Nine Heavens".

"This kid is getting bolder and bolder."

The sound faded, returning to nothingness.

Purple clouds still lingered in the Biyou Palace.

The figure in green stood alone before the palace gate.

It remained unmoved for a long time.

Above Jin'ao Island.

Xuan Du materialized, standing with his hands behind his back.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the Chaos Pearl in his palm.

The pearl shimmered with light, and within it, four ferocious beasts each occupied their respective positions.

"chaos."

Xuan Du spoke, his voice piercing through the beaded wall and reaching the ears of Chaos.

Chaos shuddered and suddenly opened his eyes.

Those blood-red eyes were filled with respect.

"Master."

Xuandu said:

"Where is the Taotie?"

Chaos paused for a moment, then said:

"Reporting to Master, the Taotie is in the southern part of the Xuanji Heaven Domain."

"There is a deep abyss where chaotic energy gathers, and the Taotie sleeps there year-round."

"It occasionally awakens and devours the chaotic beings around it."

"Eat, then sleep; wake up, then eat again."

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"If we use the source as bait, could we lure it out?"

Chaos pondered for a moment, then said:

"able."

"The gluttonous beast is so greedy that it cannot resist the allure of the source."

"If it is a Primordial Grand Luo level origin, even if Shen Ni himself came, it would not care."

A slow smile crept onto Xuan Du's lips.

"it is good."

"Then I'll use you as bait."

Chaos shuddered upon hearing this.

Those bloodshot eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Using disciples as bait?"

Xuan Du nodded:

"good."

"You are one of the Four Fiends, with a cultivation level of the seventh heaven."

"Your origin has long been coveted by the gluttonous beast."

"I dare not lay a hand on you because of Shenni."

"If you appear alone in the southern part of the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, far from the range of Shenni's perception."

"How could a glutton like Taotie resist?"

Chaos and silence.

It gazed at Xuandu, at those eyes as calm as an ancient well.

An indescribable emotion surged within me.

Use it as bait.

It lured out the Taotie.

Then the master intervened and subdued the Taotie.

This plan is brilliant.

But it is also dangerous.

Taotie is from the early stage of the Nine Heavens.

It's two levels higher than that.

Even at its peak, it could not withstand a single blow from the Taotie.

If its master doesn't intervene in time, it will surely die.

Xuan Du looked at the fleeting fear in Chaos's blood-red eyes and gently shook his head.

Are you scared?

As the three words fell, Chaos trembled.

It opened its mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.

afraid.

Of course afraid.

Taotie is the leader of the four ferocious beasts, and is at the early stage of the ninth level of the Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

It's two levels higher than that.

Those two realms are an insurmountable chasm.

It's like comparing heaven and earth.

It is an insurmountable chasm between the seventh and ninth heavens.

If Taotie really wanted to kill it, it would only take one swipe of its claw.

How could it not be afraid?

Xuan Du gazed at it, his eyes calm as still water.

"Don't worry."

"I won't let you go to your death."

He paused, his voice turning deep:

"The moment Taotie emerged from the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, I stored it in the Chaos Pearl."

"Using the inner world of the pearl as the battlefield."

"Suppress it with the innate Five Elements Grand Array."

"With my cultivation at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, and with the domineering power of the martial arts laws..."

"Even at the early stage of the Ninth Heaven, they can't cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Chaos's blood-red eyes flashed with light.

Chaos Orb.

The Primordial Five Elements Grand Array.

Master's cultivation level is at the eighth level of Heaven.

If that's the case, Taotie might not be able to harm it.

But what if Master doesn't have time to intervene?

What if Taotie attacks too quickly?

What if that claw landed before Master even reacted?

Chaos is something I dare not even think about.

Xuan Du seemed to see through its thoughts, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"You only need to lure the Taotie out of the Xuanji Heavenly Domain."

"Lead it outside that spatial rift."

"Lead it to a place where the gods cannot perceive it."

"Leave the rest to me."

"The moment the Taotie makes its move is the moment it steps into the trap."

"It won't have a second chance."

Chaos and silence.

It gazed at Xuandu, at those calm yet resolute eyes.

a long time.

It slowly lowered its head.

"Your disciple obeys."

The four words fell, and a great weight was lifted from my shoulders.

Xuan Du nodded slightly.

With a slight thought, the Chaos Pearl shimmered and radiated light.

A chaotic light gate manifested from the pearl.

Beyond the gate of light lies a new world.

The mountains are majestic, the rivers are rushing, and the spiritual energy is like mist.

"Go."

"Go to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain."

"Lure out the Taotie."

Chaos nodded emphatically.

The enormous body slowly turned, facing the rift that stretched across the chaos.

Take a deep breath.

Suppress the surging fear and tension in my heart.

Step out.

The chaotic figure vanished into the crack in an instant.

Xuan Du stood alone in the chaos, gazing at the vanished figure with a calm and still gaze.

He didn't move.

They simply stood quietly in place.

He used the Chaos Pearl to conceal his aura.

and so on.

Waiting for the glutton to take the bait.

When the ferocious beast at the early stage of the Ninth Heaven steps into the trap he has laid.

In the midst of chaos, time stood still.

Xuan Du waited for an unknown amount of time.

a year?

ten years?

century?

he does not know.

All he knew was that the crack had finally started to move.

"Buzz".

Within the crack, the brilliant light suddenly trembled.

A chaotic, colored figure burst forth from the crack.

chaos.

Its enormous body hung in the chaos, its aura disordered, and its malevolent energy surged endlessly.

On the chaotic-colored scales, a shocking wound was clearly visible.

Dark red blood seeped from the wound, dripping into the murky water.

It's being installed.

It was an extremely convincing act.

If Xuan knew the truth, he would almost certainly believe that it had really been injured by Taotie.

Xuan Du gazed at the chaos, his smile deepening.

He didn't move.

He simply stood quietly in place, concealing his aura with the Chaos Pearl, and looked at the chaos.

Chaos descended into chaos, its blood-red eyes scanning the surroundings.

It saw Xuandu.

He nodded slightly.

The nod was so light that it was almost imperceptible.

But Xuan saw it all.

He nodded slightly in response.

Chaos withdrew its gaze and turned to look at the crack.

Its massive body trembled slightly, as if in fear, as if waiting.

Three breaths.

Five breaths.

Ten breaths.

"roar!!!"

A furious roar suddenly erupted from the crack!

The roar was so loud, so domineering, so ferocious that it shook the chaos for billions of miles in an instant!

The chaotic energy surged wildly!

The chaotic gale suddenly froze!

Stronger than chaos, more ferocious than Qiongqi, more intense than Taotie!

That was the oppressive power of the Ninth Heaven!

That was the roar of the Taotie!

Xuan Du's gaze sharpened.

coming.
