The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 30 Taiyi Strikes; What is Pangu?

The intervention of Houtu, the ancestral witch, was something that surprised many people.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight for the Chaos Bell. It seemed he really wanted to plunder Taiyi.

Taiyi was taken aback at first, then said nonchalantly, "Since the Ancestral Witch Houtu has this idea... she must defeat me first before she can explore whether it is feasible."

"Very well... Let me experience firsthand just how vast the supernatural powers of the two ancestral witches truly are."

Taiyi smiled. As his thoughts raced, the ripples emanating from the Chaos Bell surged dramatically, its power increasing by more than a thousand or ten thousand times in an instant!

At its most intense moment, it seemed to sweep across the entire river of time, controlling all possible variables, and suppressing the two ancestral witches!

This is a fight of one against two!

"when!"

As the clear, resonant chimes rang out, the world seemed to stand still.

Dijiang and Houtu, at this moment, seem to have become flies frozen in amber.

The combination of Taiyi and the Chaos Bell is truly terrifying!

The overwhelming power of the two Ancestral Witches demonstrates the strongest fighting force of the demon race!

Of course, the two ancestral witches were incredibly powerful and each possessed unfathomable supernatural abilities.

Combined with the terrifying physique bestowed by the bloodline of Pangu, after a brief moment of stiffness, it tore open the stagnant space-time.

Taiyi watched with a smile. At the same time, the Chaos Bell behind him began to undergo strange changes as its power continued to rise, seemingly revealing a corner of its inner secrets. It was so breathtaking.

On a chaotic bell wall, a wondrous scene appeared... an endless, magnificent, and indescribably grand complex of palaces, all guarding a supreme hall. Within that hall, a vaguely discernible, supreme Heavenly Emperor sat high, below whom thousands upon thousands of demons and gods reverently worshipped!

The terrifying scene was hard to describe... When this image appeared, the Chaos Bell stood on a special level, as if the great Dao, laws, and order of countless powerful beings were being revived and resonating under a transcendent law, like the Heavenly Emperor commanding his subjects and ordering them to serve him!

Even though all that remains here is the imprint of the Great Dao, their combined power is still incomparably ferocious!

Even the stunningly talented Dijiang and the powerful Houtu were temporarily suppressed and unable to make any progress.

However, the two ancestral witches did not show much panic or confusion, as if they had a very clear understanding of the bell.

Indeed... As a direct descendant of Pangu, how could he not know about the Heaven-Opening Axe and the three great treasures that it shattered and split into?

"Commanding three thousand demon gods, I alone am supreme?" Houtu Ancestral Witch's eyes shifted. "Indeed, among the three supreme treasures, this one is very special... It controls the realm of time and space, and the essence of the Great Luo is endless time and space, eternal and free."

"This bell subtly represents orthodox legal principles, and the leading groups of each era... What a pity!"

"So what?" Her aura surged and spread, breaking free from the constraints of the surrounding space and time. A murderous aura erupted from her body, about to condense and form a terrifying scene—it seemed to be a person, yet it also seemed to be a battlefield. "Pangu's most famous feat, have you already forgotten it?"

"Slaughter three thousand Chaos Gods!"

"The so-called bowing of all gods to the supreme being... is nothing more than this!"

When that scene completely froze and appeared before the world, it was a breathtaking sight—it was the most ancient and boundless chaotic era, where a supreme god wielded an axe and slashed down at all sorts of strange and grotesque demons who swarmed and charged at him like bees!

That's pretty obvious.

The Battle of Pangu!

The tragedy of chaos!

The Ancestral Witch stirred the blood within her body, the inheritance from Pangu, which brought this scene back to life... It seemed to be subtly restraining the principles expounded by the Chaos Bell, resisting the suppression of the two Ancestral Witches by the resonance of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

"In the past, Pangu was the strongest being in chaos, commanding three thousand demon gods... hence this scene on the Chaos Bell." The Ancestral Witch Dijiang then broke free of his restraints. "But in the end?"

"Pangu personally killed all the demons and gods, and wiped out the chaos... even though many of them were his subordinates, his teammates who had walked the same path with him throughout the long years."

"With teammates sacrificed to the heavens, boundless power is achieved," Dijiang said with a faint smile. "Only in this way can the magnificent and eternal primordial world be created."

"You think you can suppress us with the orthodox path hidden within the Chaos Bell? That won't work!"

He and Houtu, the ancestral witch, walked hand in hand, a smooth road unfolding beneath their feet, pointing directly to the location of Taiyi!

At this moment, countless powerful beings and deities in the world witnessed this scene, seeing the re-enactment of the worship and slaughter of three thousand demon gods, and many of them were in a daze.

"Both originated from Pangu, yet ultimately they became bitter enemies... What a cruel twist of fate!"

……

"That was my oversight." Taiyi frowned slightly, then relaxed. "But it doesn't matter."

"The Dao imprints of the three thousand demon gods are merely embellishments..." He sighed. "After all, the Chaos Demon Gods swarmed in, only to be slaughtered clean, while Pangu still had the strength to do other things... I knew I shouldn't have too much hope for them."

"What's truly powerful is the bell itself!"

"Its authority is astonishingly powerful, almost capable of sweeping away all Great Luo beings below the Taiyi realm."

Taiyi smiled slightly as he looked at the two Ancestral Witches who had charged forward, and the Chaos Bell resounded...

In the blink of an eye, the stars shifted and the world changed.

The primordial wilderness remains the same.

However, the timing... has changed!

The history of the entire world is reversed at this moment, reversed back to the source of everything, the time when Pangu separated heaven and earth!

—In ancient times, there was Pangu, who wielded an axe to separate the heavens and the earth.

The axe that cleaved the heavens shattered the laws of the chaotic era, destroyed the disorder and chaos, and buried the entire ancient era.

In that chaotic remnant, He inscribed a new set of laws, defining the process of the Five Primordial Elements, from Wuji to Taiji.

From absolute nothingness, spirit, energy, form, substance, and body gradually emerge, until finally all the conditions for the formation of the world and the birth of living beings are met.

The Heaven-Opening Axe shattered during this process, giving rise to three innate treasures, each bearing its own corresponding responsibility.

The Pangu Banner carries the burden of creation and is the driving force that propels the five elements to change and transform.

The Tai Chi symbol carries the weight of existence; it is a symbol of "being" represented by the primordial universe.

The Chaos Bell... is the tangible manifestation of the spatiotemporal changes throughout the entire process!

At this moment, Taiyi, wielding the bell, selected a specific point in time and brought this battlefield there.

That place is the starting point of all heavens and all elements, the fundamental starting point of all parallel universes and all worlds.

This place is amazing.

Calling it a starting point isn't quite accurate... because through this starting point, one can see a real and tangible future.

However, once you look away for a moment and then look again, what you see and get has subtly changed... These changes can even, in turn, interfere with the state at the starting point.

It is constantly changing and never ends.

It resembles a circle.

A circle without beginning or end, and which is in the process of endlessly repeating itself.

In the endless journey of the pen tip, only the changing colors, overlapping and layering, create countless parallel spaces and times.

Pangu separated heaven and earth, creating a circular framework, a foundation of the primordial wilderness... but it was more than just that.

It contains countless dimensions of time and space, all the heavens and the universe, and all the fantastical and unimaginable things are created by him!

At this moment, the Chaos Bell pulled the two Ancestral Witches into this space. Driven by a bit of spiritual power, it guided the outpouring of the power of the primordial spacetime, instantly creating a labyrinth of billions of layers of spacetime universe, suppressing and sealing the two Ancestral Witches.

Even though they possess the essence of eternal freedom in endless time and space, they will inevitably fall into a predicament for a short time when faced with the spontaneous binding and resistance of the endless time and space in which their innate spiritual light is reflected.

The Chaos Bell might be considered the ultimate treasure that best counters a Grand Luo Immortal!

If the two Ancestral Witches had not been so incredibly powerful, having reached the level of "one thought, one breath, one self" and reached the limit of "existence" in the division of time, perfect and flawless, they would have been suppressed, their immortal bodies shattered, and their innate spiritual light imprisoned!

Even so, they were trapped and struggled to move forward... While breaking through countless layers of spacetime labyrinths, countless more evolved and generated, endlessly!

The two ancestral witches found themselves in a predicament.

Seeing this, Taiyi sighed softly, "Pangu's power is truly unfathomable."

"Even though it's just a rare treasure left behind, every time I see it displaying its power, I feel a sense of admiration and awe..."

"Going against the tide of the future, opening up the past, using it as a foundation, cause and effect are reversed endlessly, time forms a circle and repeats itself endlessly, Pangu... Pangu!"

"Manipulating eras, all heavens and elements, all time and space, all dance in the palm of his hand... Pangu, truly an unparalleled divine genius!"

What is Pangu?

"Gu" refers to an era or time; "pan" means to manipulate or play with.

—Look, that primordial wilderness, that time and space, past, present and future, is full of bumps and holes, not smooth at all, and does not suit my taste.

So let me take a look at it and make it smooth and round!

Sweeping away all the great Luo, suppressing the past, present, and future, and making the course of all history change according to his own will—this… is the true meaning of Pangu!

Pangu is not necessarily a specific entity.

In essence, it is the code name of the most powerful Da Luo!

Apart from the one who created the world, others also have the hope of reaching that level and receiving the title of Pangu.

Every great Luo has the hope of transforming into Pangu—no matter how small.

Therefore, any ambitious and aspiring Great Luo would want to compete for this prestigious position.

This is also the true root of all calamities in the primordial world—there will always be someone who wants to eliminate all competitors and ultimately be crowned king!

……

The Chaos Bell distorted spacetime, trapping Dijiang and Houtu.

This alarmed countless Great Luo Saints, making them extremely wary of that Chaos Bell.

Taiyi felt the many wary and focused gazes falling on him, but he smiled calmly and didn't take them to heart.

Instead, he reached out with one hand to deflect the Dijiang Black Hand that had landed behind the Qiongyou Demon God's past trajectory.

The Demon God of the Azure Sky felt the warning signs in his heart disappear and the calamity of losing himself vanish. He breathed a sigh of relief, "I will forever remember the life-saving grace of Lord Donghuang!"

"There's no need for that," Taiyi said calmly. "You served my Demon Court and thus faced certain death. It is both right and wrong for me to help you."

"Now that you are free, come with me back to the main camp."

"Your Majesty!" The Demon God of the Azure Sky's expression twisted for a moment, his gaze turning fierce. "You just displayed your divine power, trapping two Ancestral Witches in one fell swoop... Why didn't you go a step further and gather your forces to kill them now?!"

"If we succeed... the Lich War will be won by thirty percent!"

The Demon God of the Azure Sky hates it—

After all, he was pinned to the ground, tortured, and killed by the ancestral witch Dijiang, beaten like a dead dog with ease, and finally faced the great crisis of losing himself, a situation where he was alive but dead...

How could he not hate?

But Qiongyou also knew that the gap between him and the Ancestral Witch Dijiang was as vast as heaven and earth... He might never have the chance to take revenge himself in his entire life.

But it's okay.

With the help of the demon race, there is still hope.

At this moment, he bewitched Taiyi, hoping that the emperor would continue to act, summon all the demon gods, and press the attack while the enemy was ahead!

"Now is not the time to truly start a war." Taiyi glanced at him. "Neither side is ready."

"Moreover... these two Ancestral Witches are not people we can kill as easily as we want."

"There are also ten Ancestral Witches watching this battlefield... They will definitely intervene if things escalate."

"Who dares to say that—as direct descendants of Pangu—they don't possess the most terrifying, game-changing killing move?"

The Demon God of the Azure Sky was speechless.

"Furthermore, I hate it when others make decisions for me." Taiyi looked at Qiongyou, his tone low and somber. "My kindness to my subordinates is not a license for you to overstep your bounds."

"It was my fault." The Demon God of the Azure Sky immediately became restrained, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Alright, I hope you won't do it again," Taiyi said. "Now, come with me!"

He strode leisurely toward the starry sky, and the Demon God of the Azure Sky lowered his head, about to follow.

Suddenly, the demon god's eyes widened and his mouth opened as if to shout, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Taiyi sensed something was wrong, turned around abruptly, grabbed at the Qiongyou Demon God with one hand, and hurled the Chaos Bell with the other, attacking in the most ferocious way.

Only then did a cold and ruthless voice belatedly ring out in the world, revealing an aura of ruthless killing.

"Don't worry, he won't be eligible again!"

A bloody hand landed on the Qiongyou Demon God at the same time as Taiyi.

The blood-covered Ancestral Witch Dijiang broke out of the Time-Space Origin Point and reappeared in the world!

His palm descended, locking not only the demon god's body and primordial spirit, but also his origins and past life... Having previous experience, he left traces, so doing it again would only be easier.

The Demon God of the Azure Sky looked desperate. He frantically reversed his cause and effect, trying to change the heavenly secrets and retain his own personality and cognition, but... it was no use!

"what!"

With a bloodcurdling scream, the Demon God of the Azure Sky realized... he was being torn apart!

A completely new personality was born in Dijiang's life history through his weaving... inside and outside the surface personality.

It has existed from beginning to end, always lurking, and on the surface, it maintains consistency with the main body.

Even now, under Dijiang's control, it has raised the banner of rebellion and is usurping the Dao Fruit of the Great Luo!
