I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 292 The Shackles of Heaven Finally Opened, Condensation

Empress Pingxin was terrified and immediately used her earth magic to resist, but she spat out a mouthful of blood and was struck by the heavenly lightning, falling directly into the primordial world.

Fortunately, the power of the underground passage and the underground artifact were activated; otherwise, this divine lightning bolt would have surely killed Pingxin.

"Hongjun, you are despicable and shameless."

"Hmph, this is the price you pay. What do the matters of Heaven and Humanity have to do with your Earthly Way?"

This made Pingxin grit his teeth in anger.

He glared angrily at Chaos, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Hongjun, you just wait. In the Investiture of the Gods, even if it means the self-destruction of the Underworld, I will not let you off easily."

After saying that, he led Ye Yang straight to the Primordial Mount Tai.

At the same moment, just as the Tongtian Sect Leader abdicated his holy position and suffered physical harm, deep within the chaos, the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was traveling, suddenly opened his eyes.

"This is."

An uncontrollable impulse suddenly burst forth from the deepest part of my heart and soul.

"The opportunity has arrived, and this sect leader has perfected the art of swordsmanship, hahaha."

In this chaos, the Tongtian Sect Leader was enveloped by endless sword energy.

"Sword Soul, emerge—!"

The sword spirit that had been impossible to condense for so long finally found its form in this instant, and the Tongtian Sect Leader condensed the sword spirit without exerting any destructive power.

All of this seemed to happen naturally.

"Boom!"

The moment the sword soul was completed, a terrifying aura was released. The figure of the Tongtian Sect Master disappeared, but a sword blade hundreds of millions of kilometers long burst forth from the spot where he stood.

"cut--."

With a single slash, it headed straight for the deeper reaches of chaos, billions of kilometers ahead.

Rumble.

The terrifying chaos was cleaved open. This chaos was not like the chaos surrounding the primordial world. This chaos was more terrifying, more dreadful, and its oppressive force was more ferocious.

However, it was cleaved in two by the Tongtian Sect Leader's sword.

With a tearing sound, the scene before him stunned the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Hmm? That's..."

Hundreds of millions of kilometers ahead, it was as if space itself had been cleaved open by his sword, and a scene appeared from this crack.

"That is."

All I could see was a person sitting casually next to a stone bench, with a stone table in front of them, on which were some tea sets, and steaming smoke was slowly drifting out.

He was dressed in a white long robe with a landscape ink painting on it, and his black and white hair was draped over his shoulders.

It seemed ordinary, but it constantly revealed a mysterious Daoist charm, right the moment the Tongtian Sect Leader cleaved open this spatial rift.

An old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom looked over casually, a slight smile playing on his lips, before the spatial rift vanished.

However, this one glance struck the Tongtian Sect Leader like a thunderbolt.

"puff--."

He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying back billions of kilometers, unable to stop even if he wanted to.

Rumble.

Finally, it slammed heavily onto the corpse of the chaotic behemoth, creating a huge crater in its body.

"puff--."

He coughed up another mouthful of blood and immediately fainted.

"Master? What's wrong?"

The sudden noise startled Houtu awake. She rushed out to see what was happening and was also startled.

"What's going on? How did the cult leader manage to break open this giant beast's corpse?"

They knew just how tough the giant beast's corpse was, yet the Tongtian Sect Leader managed to break it open—it was unbelievable.

Could it be that the corpse has become weaker?

Houtu raised her fist and punched directly, but a terrifying recoil force instantly shattered her wrist.

"this"

Houtu was completely stunned. After a long while, she saw Tongtian Jiaozhu wake up, but he still looked lifeless.

"Master, what exactly is going on?"

Seeing the leader in a daze, Houtu became frightened and shook him violently, but the Tongtian Sect Leader was still unable to extricate himself from that glance.

That one glance was so ordinary, yet it almost killed him, or perhaps it contained boundless righteousness.

If the owner of that glance had made a move, or even gone all out, how strong would they have been?

Is that another world? A world like the primordial world?

Is it far from here?

The Tongtian Sect Leader was filled with a series of questions and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

That single glance seemed to keep replaying in my mind, and the more it played, the more frightening it became.

"Master, Master, what's wrong? What happened to you?"

Finally, after shaking for a long time, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly came to his senses.

"W-what's wrong with me?"

Seeing that the Tongtian Sect Leader had come to his senses, Houtu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, what happened to you just now?"

The Grand Master of Heaven let out a long breath and said:

"Girl, are there really humans beyond the primordial wilderness?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Houtu was bewildered by this statement. There are humans beyond the primordial world? How do you know? Have you seen them?

The Master of Heaven felt as if all of this was a dream or a bubble.

There must be other life forms beyond the primordial wilderness, but they are not necessarily human.

"Was everything just a dream?"

Tongtian shook his head, but that didn't make sense either. He still remembered that glance in his mind, as if it were imprinted in the deepest part of his soul.

"Master, what kind of dream did you have?"

Ignoring Houtu, Tongtian Jiaozhu was still in a daze until this moment. He stood up abruptly, only to be dumbfounded.

"This...this is inside the body of that chaotic behemoth?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was completely bewildered. What the hell was going on? He knew just how powerful the corpse of that chaotic behemoth was.

But he actually bumped into something and created a huge hole.

"Wasn't that a dream?"

The Master of Heaven felt as if he had blacked out.

"Master, you...you don't even know how you managed to break open the corpse of the Chaos Beast?"

"Yes, I only remember that I was traveling, and then I suddenly felt something and condensed my sword spirit. Then I slashed out with my sword. I think I saw an old man. He only glanced at me, and then I don't know anything. When I woke up, I was here."

Forehead.

Houtu was stunned. An old man? How could you make up such a story? But if this is fake, how could such a hard corpse be broken open?

Could there really be humankind beyond the primordial wilderness?

After listening to the Tongtian Sect Leader's account, Houtu was also quite agitated.

"How about we ask the Ancestor of Humanity? He just sent a message that the War of the Gods is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why this opportunity had come. It turns out the War of the Gods has begun."

But in the next instant, the Tongtian Sect Leader was filled with boundless rage:

"Hongjun, all the saints of the heavens, you shall wait for me."

At this point, how could one not know where this opportunity came from? The fact that one can no longer feel the pull of the Heavenly Dao within one's body is enough to explain everything.

"My dear sister, this battle will make me a god; I, Tongtian, will stake everything on it."

"Alright, after being suppressed for so long, it's time for me to be born."

Feeling the sword spirit within his body, the Tongtian Sect Master can now truly say that he has embarked on the path of sword cultivation.

Sword courage, sword heart, sword essence, sword body, and now, sword spirit.

"I've finally managed to condense the sword spirit, but why do I feel such sorrow?"

He slowly looked towards the direction of the primordial wilderness.

"Could it be that something has happened in the primordial world?"
