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

"Can."

Kong Xuan slowly opened his mouth:

"If you're going to establish something, you have to establish it thoroughly."

He raised his hand, and a chaotic light wheel swirled in his palm, evolving into three profound Dao patterns.

A pale gold color, peaceful and warm, containing the meaning of immeasurable merit.

A dark gray, cold and solemn, exuding a warning and punitive aura.

It is a chaotic color, encompassing all things, and faintly possesses the power to transform and dissolve.

"These three patterns were formed by me using the Primordial Dao Rhyme, and contain a trace of the Great Dao Origin."

Kong Xuan flicked his finger, and the three patterns disappeared into the golden halo in Di Xin's palm:

"Based on this, the three altars you establish can resonate with the long river of humanity, making them even more effective."

Di Xin shuddered!

He felt three vast and pure primordial energies, far beyond his imagination, surge into the halo of light in his palm!

The halo expanded instantly, transforming into three more condensed and profound cores of Daoist essence!

The guiding, balancing, and transforming power it contains is more than a hundred times stronger than he originally envisioned!

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Di Xin bowed, his voice filled with excitement.

With these three lines as a foundation, the effects of the three altars will far exceed expectations!

Most of the humanitarian risks can be resolved!

Kong Xuan said no more and turned to look outside Chaoge City at the endless fields and newly built workshops.

"The path of humanity is not found in the high halls of power, but in the far reaches of the common people."

His voice was calm:

"The inheritance of civilization requires a down-to-earth approach and gradual accumulation."

"Since you are a saint of humanity, you should always remember this."

Di Xin's expression turned solemn:

"I will remember this."

Just as Di Xin bowed his head, intending to respectfully see Kong Xuan off,

"Buzz!"

An invisible and intangible, yet terrifying pressure that transcends the existing rules of the primordial world, roared from the depths of the boundless chaos!

It was neither an impact nor an invasion.

Rather, it is a manifestation of pure presence.

Like a colossal beast that has slept for millennia, it slowly opened its eyes at the farthest reaches of time.

The mere sight of him lowered his gaze caused the entire primordial world to darken!

Above Chaoge, the pale golden Human Holy Domain, which was formed by the combined fortunes of the nine Holy Emperors and billions of human beings, suddenly trembled violently!

At the edge of the sacred domain, countless fine, spiderweb-like spatial cracks silently appeared!

What flows from the cracks is not a chaotic void, but a more profound and ancient primordial chaos, as if it came from before the creation of the world, before all things were born!

Di Xin's expression changed drastically. He let out a muffled groan and took three steps back!

The Kongtong Seal he held in his hand hummed incessantly, and the nine phantom dragons on the seal cried out in unison, showing signs of disintegration!

The holy light of the human emperor flowing around him was like a candle flickering in the wind, almost being crushed by the invisible pressure coming from the depths of chaos!

"This...this is..."

Di Xin's pupils contracted as he stared in horror at the heavens.

He is already a saint of humanity, in charge of the destiny of the human race, and closely connected with the primordial land.

But at this moment, the feeling brought to him by that oppressive aura was like an ant looking up at the sky, or a mayfly peering at the vast ocean!

Vast! Ancient! Supreme!

Even the selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and the Chaos Demon Ape that Kong Xuan had just recreated... none of them had ever given him such a sense of insignificance and powerlessness!

Kong Xuan stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned around, his black robe remaining motionless in the suddenly frozen air, but for the first time, a faint hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

This oppressive force...

Very strong.

It was powerful enough to cause even ordinary beings in the early stages of the Primordial Chaos Realm to experience a tremor in their minds and an instability in their Dao foundation.

More importantly...

He had never even realized it.

With his divine sense at the late stage of the Primordial Chaos and the Great Dao Perfection, everything within the primordial world, even at the edge of chaos, should be under his observation.

But the source of this oppressive force seemed to appear out of thin air, or perhaps... it had always been there, but had never "watched" over the primordial world.

"Within the chaos... there are areas that even I haven't explored?"

Kong Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes filled with a chaotic energy, and his divine sense, like an invisible giant net, spread wildly into the depths of chaos, centered on him!

In an instant.

The divine sense pierced through the thirty-three heavens, penetrated the barrier of the Heavenly Dao's origin, and entered the boundless chaos.

Chaotic currents surged, and spatial-temporal turbulence raged. Countless fragments of broken worlds, remnants of fallen stars, and even some surviving remnants of the chaotic race... all swept past in his divine sense.

No.

There was no source of that oppressive aura.

It was as if it were just a phantom, an illusion.

The spatial rifts still spreading above Chaoge, Di Xin's pale face, and the intense wailing from the Humanity Holy Domain... all proved that the oppressive force was real!

Kong Xuan's gaze sharpened slightly.

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread wide, and a chaotic halo silently appeared in his palm.

As the light wheel spun, the origin of the Five Elements Dao flowed, and an even more vast and condensed Primordial Divine Thought suddenly erupted from his palm, transforming into a beam of chaotic light that fiercely pierced towards the direction from which the pressure had just come!

This time, he wasn't just investigating.

Instead... it used the immense power of chaos to forcibly tear apart the chaos and trace back to the source!

"Sizzle!"

The chaotic void was forcibly torn open by this extremely refined Primordial Divine Thought, leaving a crack that stretched to an unknown destination!

At the edge of the crack, chaotic air currents escaped wildly, and the rules of spacetime were completely disrupted.

Kong Xuan's divine sense traveled rapidly along the crack, instantly traversing an endless distance.

Millions of miles... tens of millions of miles... hundreds of millions of miles...

Still... nothing at all.

Only a more intense chaos, a more violent turbulent current.

Just as Kong Xuan's divine sense was about to reach its limit and was about to withdraw,

"Buzz!"

That oppressive force... descended once more!

This time, it's clearer, and even closer!

It was as if at the very end of the crack, in that absolute nothingness where even chaos seemed to freeze!

"I've found you."

Kong Xuan's eyes turned cold, and his divine sense suddenly condensed, transforming into an invisible sword of chaotic color, which he fiercely slashed towards the source of the pressure!

There was no earth-shattering fanfare.

Only the purest divine sense impact, containing the perfect Daoist essence of the late-stage Hunyuan Wuji Luo realm...!

"Thump!!!"

A dull thud, as if it came from the deepest part of the soul, came from the end of chaos!

It's not a sound.

Rather, it is... two great forces that transcend the rules, clashing across endless time and space... from afar!

Kong Xuan's figure swayed slightly, and a burst of chaotic light suddenly flashed in his eyes!

His divine sword... was blocked.

They were blocked from that void by a will that was equally vast, equally ancient, yet even more... indifferent and cold!

Not only that.

That will even traveled back and forth along the divine connection, eroding us!

Cold and deathly silent, as if freezing all life and annihilating all existence!

"snort."

Kong Xuan snorted coldly, and the Chaos Light Wheel in his palm suddenly exploded!

Billions of chaotic divine lights erupted from his body, transforming into an indestructible barrier of Daoist energy that forcibly severed and crushed the will that was eroding him from the opposite direction!

The terrifying pressure above Chaoge gradually dissipated.

The spatial rift gradually healed, and the Sacred Realm of Humanity returned to stability.

Di Xin staggered to his feet, his face deathly pale, a trickle of pale golden holy blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He was merely affected by the aftershocks, yet this saint of humanity suffered a severe injury to his Dao!
