Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

"good."

Kong Xuan slowly said:

"After the primordial world went through four tribulations—the Creation of Heaven, the Dragon-Han War, the Witch-Demon War, and the Investiture of the Gods—the selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao have been extinguished, the three paths stand side by side, and all races coexist."

Now that you have returned, you should... find a path for yourself.

The demon ape remained silent.

It sensed the surging battle essence within its body, and the rules and constraints of this world.

After a long while, it slowly opened its mouth:

"The way of war is to live for war."

"Now that I have returned, I shall... fight against heaven and earth to prove my path."

"only......"

The demonic ape looked at Kong Xuan, a questioning glint in its eyes:

"In this world today, is there... an enemy worthy of our battle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire area within a radius of ten thousand miles around Flower Fruit Mountain fell silent.

Even the howling mountain wind seemed to freeze.

Kong Xuan looked at the Chaos Demon God before him, whose fighting spirit was boiling, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"A worthy enemy to fight?"

He raised his eyes, looking up at the heavens above, at the pure yet still vast origin of the Heavenly Dao, and then at the depths of chaos, at the countless chaotic remnants peering into the primordial world.

"Although the Heavenly Dao is pure, its rules still exist. If you wish to break free from these constraints and attain the Dao of Primordial Chaos, it... will be your first opponent."

"Within the chaos, countless remnants of races lie dormant, including many transformed from the remnants of chaotic demon gods. If you wish to reclaim the pinnacle of the Great Dao of War, they... will be your whetstone."

Kong Xuan paused, his gaze turning cold:

"even......"

"If you wish to fight me, so be it."

The last four words are unremarkable.

But when it reached the ears of the demonic ape, it was like a thunderclap from the heavens!

A battle against Kong Xuan?

The demon ape's six eyes contracted simultaneously.

Although it has just been reborn, its instinctive perception is exceptionally sharp.

The black-robed figure before them possessed an aura as restrained as an ancient well, yet the immense power of the Great Dao contained within him was as vast as the chaotic starry sky, unfathomable!

Fight him?

The demonic ape's fighting spirit surged, but reason told it otherwise.

That's... courting death.

"You flatter me, senior."

The demonic ape slowly shook its head, its voice hoarse:

"Though I am arrogant, I am not ignorant."

"I will never forget your kindness in saving me, senior. How could I dare to be your enemy?"

It paused, its eyes blazing with fury:

"The laws of Heaven, the remnants of the Chaos Clan... these are indeed worth fighting."

Kong Xuan nodded slightly:

"In that case, you may go."

"Within the primordial world, I will fight alongside you."

"Just one."

His gaze turned cold:

"The innocent must not be harmed, and living beings must not be killed indiscriminately."

"Otherwise... I can bring you back to life, or I can make you... utterly annihilated."

As soon as he finished speaking, an overwhelming, primordial pressure descended like an iceberg, locking the demonic ape firmly in place!

The demonic ape trembled and immediately lowered its head:

"This junior...will remember!"

Kong Xuan withdrew his oppressive aura and said no more.

He raised his hand and gently swiped it towards the void.

"Sizzle!"

A chaotic spatial portal appeared out of thin air.

On the other side of the portal lies... beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, the very source of the Heavenly Dao, which has been purified yet remains strictly governed!

"The rules of Heaven reside there."

Kong Xuan's voice was flat:

"Go."

The demonic ape's eyes blazed with fury. Without further hesitation, it took a step forward and disappeared into the portal.

The gate closed, and he vanished without a trace.

The summit of Huaguo Mountain has returned to tranquility.

Only the shattered mountains, the reversed rivers, and the lingering chaotic battle intent in the air bear witness to that earth-shattering scene.

Kong Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm.

Recreating the Chaos Demon Ape is only the first step.

Next...

He gazed at the vast, desolate land, at the chaotic remnants hidden deep in the dust of history, and at the ancient battlefields long forgotten.

All three thousand Great Daos can be recreated.

All living beings from the primordial era can be traced back to the past.

This world... it's time for a... real change.

And this moment.

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Master of the Heavenly Sect stood outside the palace, speechless for a long time.

The aura of the chaotic demonic ape that had just surged into the sky has dissipated.

But the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

"Recreating the Chaos God... going back to before the creation of the world..."

Tongtian muttered to himself, a sword glint flashing in his eyes:

"Kong Xuan, what exactly... do you want to do?"

He suddenly remembered that Kong Xuan had once said that he wanted to organize all the tribes and establish a new order.

Now it seems that this "new order"... is probably far more complicated than he imagined.

It's not a simple matter of three paths working together, nor is it a simple matter of all races coexisting.

Instead... it's about breaking the primordial shackles that have existed since the beginning of time, so that later beings can also have the opportunity to go back to the chaos and recreate the glory of the demon gods!

This is about to reshape the world!

"Master."

A voice came from behind him.

Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, and other core disciples of the Jie Sect had all arrived and stood in the square outside the palace, looking eastward with expressions of shock on their faces.

"That aura just now... could it be the Chaos Demon God?"

Duobao's voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief.

Tongtian nodded slowly:

"The Chaos Demon Ape, the master of the Great Dao of War, perished before the creation of the world."

"Now... it has been revived by Kong Xuan and reappeared in the primordial world."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples gasped in shock.

Rebirth of the Chaos Demon God?

Such methods are beyond their comprehension.

"Where exactly has Vice Leader Kong Xuan gone?"

Yunxiao spoke softly, his eyes filled with awe.

Tongtian was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Late stage of Hunyuan Wuji Luo... I'm afraid this is not his end."

The disciples remained silent.

The late stage of Hunyuan Wuji Luo is the limit of what they can imagine.

Judging from Master's words, Kong Xuan... seems capable of going even further?

What kind of realm must that be?

Above the Primordial Chaos?

A Great Sage?

Or... even higher?

"The primordial world is about to change."

Tongtian gazed at the sky, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Issue the order: all disciples of the Jie Sect shall, from this day forward, go into seclusion for quiet cultivation and shall not leave without being summoned."

"This transformation...we must wait and see."

"yes!"

The disciples responded in unison, their expressions solemn.

They knew that an unprecedented storm was brewing in the primordial world.

And at the center of this storm was their... Vice Leader, Kong Xuan, who had already stood at the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

Tongtian said no more and turned back into the palace.

But deep within those eyes gazing eastward, a trace of lingering...expectation remained.

To recreate the Chaos God, to go back to before the creation of the world.

Kong Xuan...

You've played a really big game here...

but......

Tongtian's lips curled slightly, revealing a smile.

That's what makes it interesting.

After billions of years of silence, it's time for the primordial wilderness to... come alive again.

And this moment.

Thirty-three levels of heaven.

The origin of the Way of Heaven.

The Chaos Demon Ape stepped out of the spatial portal, its six eyes simultaneously gazing at the world before it—a world that was pure, vast, yet bound by invisible rules.

"The Way of Heaven..."

The demonic ape growled softly, its eyes burning with the fire of war.

It felt restricted.

Those are the shackles of rules that have been imprinted on every inch of space and every wisp of spiritual energy in the primordial world since the beginning of time.

All primordial beings, from the moment of their birth, have been bound by this shackle, their origins incomplete, and their path to the Great Dao imperfect.

Even though it has reverted to the form of a Chaos Demon God, it can still feel the omnipresent... suppression in this world.

"war!!!"

The demonic ape roared to the sky, its six arms swinging as it fiercely attacked the pure source of the Heavenly Dao!

It wants to break these shackles!

It wants to... prove its path through war!

"BOOM!!!"

The chaotic origin of war, like a celestial river flowing backward, crashed into the rules of the Heavenly Dao!

The entire area outside the Thirty-Three Heavens suddenly trembled!

The rules are lamenting, the shackles are showing!
