Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 8 Heavenly Thunder

"A good place." Xuanhuang's eyes lit up. The chaotic energy between heaven and earth gradually dissipated, and now there was not much left.

Since absorbing all the chaotic energy from Yingzhou Island and arriving in the primordial land, this is the first time I've encountered so much chaotic energy.

Then, Xuanhuang moved and began to devour freely. Streams of chaotic energy surged forth from Xuanhuang like swallows returning to their nests.

Xuanhuang's entire body, all the acupoints and pores, lit up, and faint stars appeared in them, turning into vortexes that devoured the chaotic energy.

The primordial chaos energy remaining in the world is not actually true primordial chaos energy; it is no longer violent, so Xuanhuang can easily refine it.

While absorbing the chaotic energy to increase his magical power, Xuanhuang also ventured deeper into the world.

When Xuanhuang was halfway there, he suddenly let out a muffled groan.

His outward-projected divine sense was attacked in an instant.

However, this was not an attack he suffered from any other living being.

Instead, it was a bolt of lightning.

Although it was fleeting, Xuanhuang's divine sense still captured that scene.

A flash of pitch-black lightning struck his primordial spirit almost before he could react.

"That is..."

The destruction of even a sliver of divine consciousness was nothing to Xuanhuang.

However, that bolt of lightning surprised Xuanhuang.

Clearly, the lightning capable of harming the Xuanhuang Primordial Spirit under these circumstances is quite special.

Its power is also great enough.

What kind of thunder is this?

Considering the power and nature of the thunder, Xuanhuang immediately thought of a possibility.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"It can't be true, can it?"

Xuanhuang muttered to himself, then continued forward, and sure enough, as he went deeper and deeper...

The frequency of those thunderbolts is also increasing.

At first, there were only one or two scattered attacks, but as soon as they got close, they attacked.

And the further in you go, the more there are—three or five, six or seven, ten, twenty…

In the end, they grew thicker and more numerous, with swathes of thunder attacking in waves.

Xuanhuang had already summoned the Time-Space Mirror, which hovered above his head and released the power of time and space.

This made Xuanhuang's figure seem to appear in another time and space.

This also allowed Xuanhuang to avoid the vast majority of lightning attacks.

But this lightning was terrifying. Even though Xuanhuang was in another dimension, some of the lightning still broke through the boundaries of space and time and attacked Xuanhuang.

However, this small portion of lightning posed no threat to Xuanhuang.

Streaks of pitch-black lightning struck Xuanhuang, only to be swallowed up and absorbed into his body.

At this moment, all ten thousand-plus acupoints on Xuanhuang's body were activated.

They are all glowing.

The acupoints are connected to each other, forming a celestial constellation.

The lightning was swallowed up by Xuanhuang's body.

It appeared within the Zhou Tian Star Array, whose interior almost resembled a vast universe.

The universe is vast and empty, yet also desolate.

Only enormous stars, one after another, are arranged in the sky, constantly revolving around it.

At the center of the universe, amidst the stars, there was a raging black lightning bolt.

The black lightning bolt was trapped here.

Even so, this black lightning bolt exuded an incredibly terrifying aura of destruction.

The greatest strength of the Zhou Tian Star Formation lies in its suppressive effect.

However, any spacetime that forms around the black lightning will be shattered as soon as it appears.

It exists in a state of constant birth and death.

The Zhou Tian Star Formation could only suppress this thunder by relying on its immense power.

At this point, Xuanhuang had completely determined what this thunder was.

This is the Heavenly Thunder.

The thunder used by the great god Pangu to create heaven and earth.

It's unbelievable that I'm here.

Xuanhuang felt his heart pounding wildly; he was about to have a great adventure.

Sure enough, as Xuanhuang arrived at the deepest part of the world, he saw a huge ball of lightning.

Suspended in the air, streaks of lightning continuously emanated from it, leaking out in all directions.

This massive ball of Heavenly Thunder gave Xuanhuang a slight sense of danger.

Knowing that if he were hit by this Heavenly Thunder, he would probably be killed instantly with his current strength, his body and soul destroyed.

"There must be something within this thunder, which is the reason for my extraordinary encounter. I cannot miss it."

Xuanhuang examined it for a long time, but felt he didn't know where to start.

After all, if this were to touch this mass of Heavenly Lightning, the entire mass of Heavenly Lightning might erupt and attack it.

At that point, I won't be able to withstand it; I'll probably be severely injured even if I don't die.

Even with the treasure right in front of him, Xuanhuang was unwilling to give up and racked his brains for a solution.

Just then, the spacetime mirror that was floating above Xuanhuang seemed to sense something.

"Buzzing!!"

The time-space mirror vibrated repeatedly, and the vibrations became increasingly louder.

The sensation it received came from inside that ball of divine thunder.

"boom!"

The scene that caused Xuanhuang's pupils to shrink suddenly occurred, and the ball of Heavenly Thunder indeed went berserk.

"Walk!"

Without even thinking, Xuanhuang moved and fled backward.

Then, no sooner had Xuanhuang left than he returned.

Because he left, but the time-space mirror didn't go with him.

Moreover, the Heavenly Thunder did not follow.

What happened?

When Xuanhuang returned, he saw that the Heavenly Thunder had stopped an inch away from the Time-Space Mirror, but could not go any further.

Instead, it keeps shrinking back.

It seemed as if something was devouring it from behind.

What happened?

Xuanhuang had a thought and sensed the imprint in the Time-Space Mirror, but he was surprised to find that the power of time and space in the Time-Space Mirror was almost completely exhausted.

Where did the power of the time-space mirror go?

Xuanhuang stared intently at the Heavenly Thunder, which was growing smaller and smaller.

The rate of contraction is increasing.

Finally, the hidden thing inside was revealed.

It turned out to be a bead, or rather, a broken bead.

Chaos Orb.

The first thing Xuanhuang thought of was this bead.

The Chaos Pearl, one of the four great treasures of chaos.

And indeed, this is the Chaos Pearl.

After all the Heavenly Thunder was absorbed into the bead, the bead flew towards Xuanhuang.

The treasure recognizes its owner.

It seems that after absorbing the power of the Time-Space Mirror, the bead finally subdued the Heavenly Thunder, devoured it, and was reborn.

Therefore, this bead is associated with the color black and yellow.

The information emanating from the bead confirmed that it was the most mysterious of the four great treasures of chaos: the Chaos Bead.
