《[English]After I became the God of Destruction》


 Chapter 1: Reborn in the Chaotic and Dreamlike Realm

    Chapter 1: Reborn in the Chaotic and Dreamlike Realm


    Ye Wudao woke up with a start, his heart pounding violently, just like a drum being beaten.


    Everything around him was a murky gray, even more exaggerated than a heavy smoggy day, so dark that he couldn''t see his own outstretched hand.


    Even more eerily, when he opened his mouth to shout, he couldn''t make a single sound, as if someone had tightly gripped his throat, making him feel extremely frustrated.


    "What on earth is going on? Is this sleep paralysis?" Ye Wudao muttered to himself, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.


    Suddenly, a strange gust of wind howled past, blowing him around in the air like a kite with a broken string.


    This wind was truly peculiar. Despite its powerful force, it carried an inexplicable sense of intimacy, much like a mother''s embrace or a lover''s gentle touch.


    "Could it be... that this is the legendary Underworld? The exclusive luxurious VIP transfer service of the Netherworld?" Ye Wudao thought wildly, and his mind involuntarily drifted back to the past.


    Thinking of himself, Ye Wudao, an ordinary college student, his life plan had been crystal clear: graduate, find a job, get married, and have children, the standard template of a "life winner".


    But now, everything had come to nothing.


    He was dead!


    Completely lifeless!


    "Sigh, the world is indeed full of unpredictability!" A wave of sadness welled up in Ye Wudao''s heart.


    Remembering how he had died made him feel even more aggrieved.


    He had tried to save someone out of kindness, but in the end, he had sacrificed himself.


    At first, he had seen a girl struggling in the lake. Assuming she was drowning, he had jumped in without hesitation to save her.


    However, when he swam closer, he found that there was also a man beside the girl. The two were hugging each other tightly, and he had no idea what they were up to.


    This wasn''t drowning at all! It was clearly a case of a couple having fun in the water and getting into trouble!


    Ye Wudao was just about to curse "crazy" when the man suddenly went berserk and clung to him tightly, pushing him underwater.


    Ye Wudao then realized that this guy was truly drowning and had taken him as a last hope, as if determined to die together with him.


    Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    "Bro, I''m more wronged than someone in a really unfair situation!"


    While struggling, Ye Wudao desperately tried to push the man away, but the other person clung to him like an octopus and refused to let go.


    The cold lake water rushed into his nose and mouth, and the feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger. The world before his eyes gradually became blurry...


    In the end, all he remembered was a sea of darkness, and then he lost consciousness completely.


    "Thinking about it now, that girl must have had a really tough time too. She was having a romantic date, but her boyfriend ended up drowning himself and even dragged an innocent bystander like me down with him. What a huge psychological shadow that must have left on her!"


    Ye Wudao couldn''t help but sigh. He wondered what had become of that girl later.


    Just as he was lost in thought, the strange wind suddenly stopped, and Ye Wudao slowly "landed".


    To say it was landing was actually more like floating on a soft mass of cotton.


    He tried to move, only to find that he seemed to have no body at all!


    "Hello, is anyone there?" A faint voice echoed in the chaos, "Where... where am I?"


    "What the hell! Where are my legs?" Ye Wudao looked down. Goodness, not only were his legs nowhere to be seen, but he couldn''t even spot a single toe!


    He waved his arms vigorously, but it was like waving at thin air. He couldn''t grasp anything.


    "Could it be that I''ve become a ghost? A transparent being? Or... the so-called air-like entity?" Countless questions flashed through Ye Wudao''s mind.


    To confirm his suspicion, he summoned up his courage and drifted towards a peculiarly shaped stone nearby.


    As he was about to collide with it, he quickly closed his eyes in fear, bracing himself for a possible "bad injury".


    But after waiting for a while, he felt nothing.


    Ye Wudao opened his eyes cautiously and found that he had actually passed through the stone!


    "I... I''m really just a soul now?!" This realization left Ye Wudao completely stunned.


    He felt like a lonely wandering soul, drifting in this gray void, with no direction, no goal, and no prospect for the future.


    I don''t know how much time had passed, but Ye Wudao "awoke" again.


    This kind of "awakening" was rather strange. There was no drowsiness, no tiredness, and no dreams. It was simply a matter of regaining consciousness from the chaotic state.


    This gray space was oppressively suffocating, like a huge stone pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.


    In order to escape this despairing feeling of oppression, Ye Wudao could only force himself to "fall asleep" again, or rather, lose consciousness.


    Repeating this cycle of "awakening" and "falling asleep" time and time again, Ye Wudao had no idea how much time had elapsed.


    Until one day, he discovered that he could actually absorb the gray substances around him!


    These substances were like tiny specks of dust, floating around with the strange wind and being unconsciously inhaled into his "body".


    What was even more miraculous was that as he absorbed more and more of these substances, he felt that his "body" was gradually growing larger and becoming more solid.


    "Haha, I''ve finally found something to do!" Ye Wudao was overjoyed, just like a person lost in the desert who had stumbled upon a clear spring.


    He began to actively chase after the strange wind and greedily absorb the gray substances.


    I don''t know how long it had been, but he felt that his "body" had grown to twice its original size. Although he still had no physical form, it was much better than the previous intangible state.


    "This feeling is just like leveling up in a game. So exhilarating!" Ye Wudao thought happily, and he even harbored a glimmer of hope for the future.


    However, the good times didn''t last long. He gradually sensed that this space was becoming restless.


    The strange wind became more and more frequent and intense, and the entire space was filled with an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere, much like the calm before a great battle.


    Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light pierced through the gray space, and a huge figure emerged in front of Ye Wudao''s "eyes".


    That figure towered into the sky, like a majestic mountain peak, exuding an unparalleled aura of power.


    "I am Pangu!" A deep and powerful voice resounded throughout the space, making Ye Wudao feel as if his soul was about to disperse.


    At the same time, the entire space began to shake violently, as if it might collapse at any moment...


    "Pan... Pangu?!" Ye Wudao''s "mouth" opened wide enough to fit a large egg, "Am... am I dreaming?!"


    Ye Wudao felt that his head was about to explode. This was an overwhelming amount of information!


    Wasn''t he supposed to have drowned while trying to save someone? How had he ended up here? And he had even encountered Pangu? Could it be that he had traveled back to the chaotic era before the world was created?


    "Ë»... This is no laughing matter!" Ye Wudao''s mind raced, "When Pangu creates the world, he''s going to engage in a battle with the three thousand Chaos Demons! With my weak self, not to mention helping, I''m afraid that even the aftershocks could reduce me to ashes!"


    Among the thirty-six strategies, the best one is to retreat!


    Without hesitation, Ye Wudao turned around and "fled".


    The word "fled" was truly a luxury for Ye Wudao at this moment.


    He had no legs, no feet, and not even a body. He could only float around in the chaos like a wisp of smoke...

 Chapter Two: The Great Cataclysm of Creation

    " If only I hadn''t absorbed so much gray substance just now. Now I''m ''overweight'' and can''t even run!"


    Ye Wudao stamped his feet in a hurry... Even though he knew that in this chaotic space, he simply had nowhere to run away.


    However, he still had to run.


    This was an attitude, an instinct for survival, a kind of... self-comfort.


    Just as Ye Wudao was "fleeing for his life", Pangu wasn''t idle either.


    There he was, with a figure as imposing as a mountain, exuding an air of looking down on the whole world all over his body.


    He just stood there quietly, yet he seemed to be the center of the whole chaos, attracting all the eyes.


    Suddenly, Pangu opened his mouth, and his voice was as loud as a huge bell, shaking the nine heavens:


    "Create the sky¡ª"


    These two words instantly detonated the entire chaotic world. The chaotic space, which had been relatively calm before, suddenly became violent.


    The endless chaotic air currents were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, galloping and roaring wildly.


    Horrible cracks spread out in the chaos, as if they were going to tear the whole world into pieces.


    "Slow down! Slow down!"


    When Ye Wudao heard Pangu''s "declaration of creating the sky", his mood was like that of a person who was desperately fleeing from an explosion scene but found that the countdown of the bomb had been speeded up.


    With Pangu creating the sky and the war between gods and demons breaking out, his small figure probably wasn''t even worthy of being a cannon fodder...


    Just when Ye Wudao''s heart was filled with despair, the surrounding chaotic air currents seemed to have some subtle changes.


    The chaotic air currents, which had been relatively even before, began to converge in one direction.


    Dozens of figures, with the imposing pressure of destroying the world, tore through the chaos and suddenly descended!


    Those figures had various forms, simply breaking through the limit of human imagination.


    Some were like moving mountains, covered all over with sharp thorns. Every movement of them stirred up the chaos and made the space shake.


    Some were like twisted mists, constantly changing their shapes. Sometimes they transformed into ferocious beasts, and sometimes into charming enchantresses, making people unable to distinguish between the true and the false and feel confused.


    Others were like huge eyeballs, floating in the air, emitting a strange light, as if they could see through everything and look directly into the depths of the soul.


    Ye Wudao was so shocked that his soul was a bit unsteady. He felt as if he had come to an exhibition hall of monsters, and every "exhibit" was refreshing his cognition.


    "Wait... These guys seem to be targeting Pangu?" Ye Wudao suddenly realized that these chaotic gods and demons seemed to have malicious intentions!


    Sure enough, as more and more chaotic gods and demons descended, the atmosphere of the entire chaotic space became more and more tense and oppressive.


    Hundreds of figures surrounded Pangu tightly. The auras they emitted converged together, forming a terrifying imposing pressure, as if they were going to crush the entire chaotic world.


    "Pangu, if you want to create the sky, where do you put us?!" A voice thundered, making Ye Wudao dizzy.


    The one who spoke was a monster with three heads. The three faces were twisted together, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.


    "If the chaos doesn''t exist, where will we go?!" Another voice sounded, filled with endless resentment.


    This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    "The chaos is our home. Whoever dares to destroy our home, we will fight him to the death!"


    "Kill! Kill Pangu and keep the chaos forever!"


    The chaotic gods and demons roared and took out their magic weapons one after another, ready to launch an attack on Pangu.


    For a moment, in the chaos, there were brilliant lights, surging energy, and all kinds of terrifying auras intertwined, as if the end of the world had come.


    However, in the face of this scene of destroying the world, Pangu still remained calm. He swept his eyes over the chaotic gods and demons in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing a disdainful smile.


    "Bring the axe!"


    In an instant, a dazzling light cut through the chaos and tore apart the darkness. A huge axe appeared out of thin air and fell into Pangu''s hand.


    The axe was an ancient gray all over, with mysterious Dao rhymes all over its surface, emitting a terrifying aura.


    This was exactly the supreme treasure of the chaos¡ªthe Sky-Creating Axe!


    As soon as the Sky-Creating Axe appeared, the entire chaotic space shook.


    The chaotic gods and demons, who had been aggressive before, suddenly changed their faces when they felt the terrifying imposing pressure emitted by the Sky-Creating Axe.


    However, Pangu didn''t give them any chance. He suddenly waved the Sky-Creating Axe and launched a fierce attack on the chaotic gods and demons!


    "Pangu, today I will let you taste the power of the Great Curse Technique!"


    The one who spoke was a figure hidden in the darkness. He was wrapped in a black robe, and his face couldn''t be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes shining with an evil light could be seen.


    As his voice faded, a creepy aura instantly enveloped the entire chaotic space.


    The man in the black robe formed seals with his hands and mumbled something. Streaks of black runes flew out from his fingertips, merged into the chaos, and disappeared.


    Pangu watched the actions of the man in the black robe quietly and didn''t stop him, or rather, he disdained to stop him.


    The man in the black robe finished casting the spell, raised his head, looked at Pangu, and the corners of his mouth revealed a sinister smile.


    "Pangu, the Great Curse Technique is completed. Just wait to bear endless pain! Hahaha..."


    The laughter of the man in the black robe echoed in the chaos and sounded particularly harsh.


    There Pangu stood quietly, holding the Sky-Creating Axe in his hand, allowing the black curse power to invade his body.


    "Ah¡ª"


    A shrill scream suddenly resounded throughout the entire chaotic space.


    It wasn''t Pangu who let out the scream, but the man in the black robe who cast the Great Curse Technique!


    The man in the black robe was seen covering his head and rolling on the ground in pain. The black robe on his body also began to break into pieces inch by inch, revealing his withered and ugly true appearance.


    The screams of the man in the black robe became more and more shrill and more and more desperate.


    His body also began to shrink and wither rapidly, and finally turned into a pile of ashes and dissipated in the chaos.


    "Boring, boring. What other tricks do you have? Just use them all! Whoever dares to obstruct me from creating the sky today will only end up dead!"


    Pangu roared and instead of retreating, he rushed directly into the encirclement of the chaotic gods and demons.


    Under his feet, a huge green lotus flower slowly bloomed, emitting a soft light and protecting him firmly.


    This green lotus was the supreme treasure of the chaos¡ªthe Chaotic Green Lotus, which had supreme defensive power and could withstand all attacks.


    With the protection of the Chaotic Green Lotus, every swing of Pangu''s axe carried the power to destroy the world, tearing huge cracks in the surrounding chaotic air currents.


    "Boom!"


    "Click!"


    "Bang!"


    All kinds of explosion sounds and crashing sounds were heard continuously.


    Dozens of chaotic gods and demons attacked simultaneously. All kinds of magic weapons and supernatural powers rained down on Pangu like a violent storm.


    However, all these attacks were blocked by the Chaotic Green Lotus.


    The soft light emitted by the Chaotic Green Lotus seemed fragile, but it was extremely tough. No matter how fierce those attacks were, they couldn''t shake it at all.


    "Break for me!"


    Pangu roared and swung the Sky-Creating Axe in his hand violently towards the front.


    A dazzling light cut through the chaos and tore apart the darkness, instantly enveloping dozens of chaotic gods and demons.


    Screams rose one after another and could be heard continuously.


    Those chaotic gods and demons enveloped by the light didn''t even have a chance to resist. They were directly chopped into powder by the terrifying power of the Sky-Creating Axe and turned into nothingness.


    "This... This is too powerful!" Ye Wudao was stunned. The power of Pangu''s single axe swing was so terrifying!


    The chaotic gods and demons were completely intimidated by Pangu''s powerful strength.


    They had originally thought that with their numerical superiority, they could easily defeat Pangu.


    But they didn''t expect that Pangu''s strength was so terrifying, simply beyond their imagination.


    Pangu held the Sky-Creating Axe in his hand and was like a tiger among sheep, starting a killing spree.


    Every time he swung the axe, dozens of chaotic gods and demons were chopped into powder and turned into nothingness.


    "Don''t kill me! I don''t want to die!"


    "Pangu, you will die a bad death!"


    Screams, pleas for mercy, and curses resounded throughout the entire chaotic space.


    However, Pangu had no intention of stopping at all.


    In his eyes, there was only endless killing intent and firm determination.


    This battle was destined to be a bloody massacre.


    As time went by, more and more chaotic gods and demons fell under Pangu''s Sky-Creating Axe.


    The chaotic space also became more and more chaotic and more and more violent.


    "Rumble..."


    "Click click..."


    All kinds of explosion sounds were deafening, as if they were going to shatter the whole world.

 Chapter Three: The Top Ten Demon Gods

    Over two thousand chaotic gods and demons swarmed towards Pangu like a locust plague, overwhelming everything in their path.


    All kinds of magic weapons and supernatural powers were hurled at Pangu without any restraint, as if they were of no value.


    The sounds of explosions and collisions rang out together, making the entire chaotic space tremble.


    "Perfect timing!" Pangu roared. Instead of retreating, he charged forward directly to meet the attacks of the chaotic gods and demons.


    Above his head, an ancient jade tablet slowly rotated, emitting a soft light that protected him firmly.


    This jade tablet was the supreme treasure of chaos¡ªthe Creation Jade Tablet, which had supreme defensive power and could withstand all attacks.


    With the dual protection of the Creation Jade Tablet and the Chaotic Green Lotus, Pangu attacked the enemies even more recklessly.


    "Puff!"


    Blood and flesh flew everywhere, along with severed limbs.


    With each swing of the axe, dozens of chaotic gods and demons were cut in half and turned into a pool of blood.


    This battle was even more tragic and bloody than before.


    The chaotic space had been dyed red with blood, and the smell of death filled the air everywhere.


    "Puff!"


    Pangu swung his huge axe again. This time, it was not the unknown small fries who fell, but the slightly more powerful chaotic gods and demons.


    At the same time, in the depths of the chaos, ten figures stood quietly, like eternal sculptures, exuding a terrifying aura.


    These ten were the most powerful existences in the chaos¡ªthe Ten Great Chaotic Gods and Demons!


    They watched the massacre coldly, with no trace of emotion in their eyes. In their view, those gods and demons killed by Pangu were nothing but ants, and their deaths were not to be regretted.


    Pangu''s gaze locked onto the Ten Great Chaotic Gods and Demons. Although he knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, there was no fear in his heart, only a blazing fighting spirit!


    "Come on!" Pangu''s voice was like the tolling of a great bell, shaking the entire chaotic space.


    Before the words had even faded, the figures of the Ten Great Chaotic Gods and Demons disappeared in an instant. The next moment, they had surrounded Pangu tightly.


    "Pangu, you are very strong," the voice of the God of Destruction rang out. "Your power has exceeded our expectations. However, when the ten of us great gods and demons join forces, we are not weak either!"


    "The outcome can only be determined through battle!" Pangu''s eyes were firm and sharp, and the huge axe in his hand emitted a dazzling light.


    "I have seen the future in the long river of time, but I still want to try to change it."


    A misty voice suddenly sounded. The God of Time slowly raised his hands, and a mysterious force began to gather around him. There was a trace of helplessness and a sigh in his voice.


    "Pangu, take my punch!" A loud voice cut through the chaotic void, full of the arrogance of someone who considered himself the top predator in the world.


    This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Before the echo had dissipated, a huge fist as big as the sun struck towards Pangu.


    The power of this punch distorted the non-spatial structure they were in, and a visible ripple of pure power spread out.


    Pangu raised his axe high and faced this blow head-on.


    The other chaotic gods exchanged glances.


    "This monkey is too rash..." The God of Time sighed and rubbed his temples with his ethereal fingers.


    "He always uses his fists and has no skills at all."


    The God of Space chuckled, and the sound was like the collision of two galaxies.


    Although they found it amusing, they also admitted the powerful strength that the Chaotic Ape possessed.


    That fist was not only huge but also contained the impact force of a thousand collapsed stars.


    Each blow was like a direct attack on the fundamental laws of reality.


    Pangu remained unmoved and blocked the next blow, and the shockwave caused vibrations in the chaotic sea.


    In the chaotic space, in the endless void and chaos, Pangu held the great axe that could create the world, with a solemn and determined expression.


    Surrounding him were the Ten Great Chaotic Gods and Demons, each exuding a terrifying aura, as if the entire chaotic space was trembling at their feet.


    "Pangu, creating the sky is a path to self-destruction. Give it up!" The voice of the God of Time echoed in the chaotic space like thunder. He controlled the flow of time, and every word he spoke seemed to make time go backwards, making people feel dizzy.


    "Pangu, as long as you give up creating the sky, we will retreat on our own!" The figure of the God of Space moved in an instant, distorting space itself.


    Pangu was not swayed by these words. He gripped the great axe tightly, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "You can''t stop me. The chaos will eventually be broken, and a new world will be born. This is my way!"


    The battle was on the verge of breaking out. Pangu launched the first attack. When he swung the great axe, a huge crack was torn open in the chaotic space, as if the entire space was going to be split in two.


    The God of Time reacted immediately. With a wave of his palm, the torrent of time flowed backwards instantly. Pangu''s offensive was forcibly interrupted, and the light on the axe dimmed a bit.


    "Space crack!" The voice of the God of Space was cold and merciless. With a point of the staff in his hand, a small space crack appeared at Pangu''s feet. But Pangu dodged quickly, and the crack eventually swallowed up a chaotic space area but failed to harm Pangu.


    The God of Destruction then joined the battle. There was a light of destruction shining in his eyes. With a wave of his hands, countless flames of destruction swept over in an instant, surrounding Pangu.


    Pangu waved his great axe, and the flames were instantly shattered. But the power of the God of Destruction was truly terrifying. Each flame was like a persistent parasite, constantly eroding Pangu''s shield.


    The God of Creation stood by and stared at the battlefield quietly. With a gentle clap of his hands, pieces of chaotic light condensed in his hands and finally turned into a force of creation that directly impacted Pangu''s body.


    Pangu couldn''t bear the burden, and a gash was instantly torn in his body. But he still stood firmly in place and waved the great axe again to repel the attack of the God of Creation.


    The battle reached a fever pitch. Although the God of Destiny was among the Ten Great Chaotic Gods and Demons, his power was the weakest.


    The moment he was about to make a move, Pangu''s great axe had already slashed towards him. The God of Destiny had almost no reaction time and was split in half by the axe, turning into a ray of light and dissipating in the chaotic space.


    "God of Destiny!" The Chaotic Ape roared, and his huge body rushed towards Pangu, wanting to tear him to pieces.


    "You stupid monkey, you''re not worthy to be my enemy yet!" Pangu sneered.


    The combined attacks of the God of Creation and the God of Destruction became even more fierce. Pangu was in crisis several times, but with his powerful will and the power of the great axe, he managed to turn the tide of danger again and again.


    However, as the battle continued, Pangu gradually felt tired. There were more and more wounds on his body, and his shield was gradually becoming weaker.


    The power of chaos kept surging under the impact of the battle. Under the influence of this energy, Ye Wudao''s soul began to gradually become clearer and more stable.


    Ye Wudao felt that his soul was being tempered by some kind of power, as if it was being reforged in the chaos.


    His perception ability was also gradually increasing, and he could feel every fluctuation and every detail on the battlefield.


    As the battle continued, the God of Creation and the God of Destruction finally couldn''t withstand Pangu''s powerful offensive. Almost simultaneously, they were killed by Pangu''s great axe and turned into two rays of light and dissipated.


    Although Pangu had won the victory, his body was covered with wounds, his aura was weak, and he had almost exhausted all his strength.


    But this battle... was not over yet.


    Pangu could only grit his teeth and cast his gaze towards the remaining chaotic gods and demons.

 Chapter Four: Pangu Separates Heaven and Earth

    Ye Wudao felt as if he had been thrown into an ultra-high-speed blender, and the power of chaos was frantically washing over his soul.


    That feeling was like throwing an unpolished rock into a steel-making furnace and forging it repeatedly.


    "Damn, this is so intense... I can''t believe it!" Ye Wudao wailed in his heart. But gradually, he found that his soul was actually becoming more solid and powerful under this painful tempering.


    Suddenly, he noticed a faint ray of light. It emanated from the depths of his soul, carrying an ancient and mysterious aura.


    Ye Wudao concentrated his spirit and observed carefully. He found that it was actually a fragment emitting a shimmering glow. It had an irregular shape, and some profound patterns could be vaguely seen on it.


    "This thing... why does it look a bit familiar?" Ye Wudao tried hard to recall. Suddenly, he remembered!


    Wasn''t this the "heirloom" jade pendant he had bought from a roadside stall before he drowned?


    At that time, he thought this thing had a strange shape and might be worth some money. He didn''t expect it to have such an origin!


    "Could it be... that this fragment of the Creation Jade Tablet brought me across to the chaos?" A storm surged in Ye Wudao''s heart.


    "Hahaha... Heaven doesn''t want me to die!" Ye Wudao laughed wildly in his heart, feeling that he was simply the chosen one.


    With this fragment of the Creation Jade Tablet, maybe he could also make a name for himself in this chaotic world.


    However, before he could be happy for long, the situation on the battlefield changed again.


    There Pangu was, holding a huge axe, fighting fiercely with the remaining four Great Chaotic Gods and Demons.


    The power of the time law around the God of Time was in complete disarray, like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.


    The God of Space wasn''t any better. His originally indestructible true body was now covered with cracks, like broken glass, on the verge of collapse.


    The God of Destruction and the Chaotic Ape were also struggling to hold on, but their offensive had obviously weakened. Every time they waved their weapons, they seemed extremely strained.


    Ye Wudao watched in horror and wished he could rush up and join the battle. But he knew that in his current state, he wasn''t even qualified to tickle Pangu.


    Suddenly, the God of Time let out a desperate roar, and his body began to expand uncontrollably. The power of the time law around him was completely out of control.


    "No! He''s going to self-destruct!" Ye Wudao exclaimed.


    Pangu also realized the danger. He suddenly waved his huge axe, and a power that could create the world instantly enveloped the God of Time.


    "Boom¡ª"


    With a deafening explosion, the body of the God of Time burst apart, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the chaos.


    At the same time, the true body of the God of Space finally couldn''t hold on and completely shattered, turning into nothingness.


    Pangu stood tall and firm. The wounds on his body were even more shocking. The Chaotic Green Lotus and the Creation Jade Tablet were also broken in the great battle.


    Leaning on the Sky-Creating Axe, he gasped violently, as if he could fall at any moment.


    "There are still you two..." Pangu''s voice was low and hoarse, but it was full of endless majesty.


    The God of Destruction and the Chaotic Ape looked at each other. They knew that they had no chance of winning.


    "Pangu, I respect you as a real man." The God of Destruction took a deep breath and said slowly, "It''s an honor for us to die by your axe."


    Pangu remained silent. He raised his huge axe and pointed it at the God of Destruction.


    "This swing of the axe is for creating the world and for creating a new world!" Pangu roared and poured all his strength into the huge axe.


    "Come on!" The God of Destruction closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of death.


    A dazzling light flashed, and the God of Destruction and the Chaotic Ape were simultaneously cut in half by Pangu''s huge axe, turning into two rays of light and disappearing completely.

    Pangu had won!


    He had defeated the three thousand chaotic gods and demons and won the final victory of the Sky-Creating Tribulation!


    Pangu turned around and faced the boundless chaos. He took a deep breath and raised the huge axe high.


    "Create the sky!"


    Pangu let out a thunderous roar and swung the huge axe down suddenly.


    The power of chaos fluctuated violently under Pangu''s huge axe. The continuous chaotic energy was split open in an instant. It was like the beginning of the world, and a powerful force of creation howled out and rushed straight to the sky.


    "With one swing of the axe, the earth was born."


    Pangu swung the axe ninety-nine and eighty-one times in a row. Each swing contained unparalleled power, cutting through the chaotic energy.


    The earth gradually took shape under Pangu''s axe. Mountains, rivers, and forests appeared one by one.


    Ye Wudao stared with wide eyes, watching this scene intently.


    He seemed to be able to feel the power in each axe shadow. Every time the huge axe fell, the vibration seemed to resonate deep in his soul.


    "Damn, is this the power of creating the world? It''s so damn shocking!" Ye Wudao was overjoyed in his heart and was almost breathless with excitement.


    As Pangu''s last axe fell, heaven and earth were finally separated. Pangu let out a sigh of relief, but his expression became solemn.


    The three thousand laws intertwined in his body and were branded between heaven and earth. Pangu felt that he was one step closer to attaining the Tao.


    However, just as he was about to stabilize heaven and earth, an unexpected change occurred.


    "What''s going on?"


    Pangu frowned. He found that a strange fluctuation appeared between heaven and earth, as if some kind of power was trying to destroy the order he had just established.


    Pangu pointed at the Sky-Creating Axe, and the Sky-Creating Axe trembled and transformed into three innate supreme treasures: the Pangu Banner, the Taiji Diagram, and the Chaotic Bell, to stabilize heaven and earth.


    The power of the three treasures was astonishing. The Chaotic Bell emitted melodious bell sounds, the Taiji Diagram emitted a soft light, and the Pangu Banner was extremely powerful. The three treasures working together finally stabilized heaven and earth.


    However, even so, Pangu''s face still looked grim.


    He could feel that an unprecedented power was secretly sweeping through, trying to control heaven and earth.


    "I must hold up the sky. If heaven and earth are not stable, all the efforts of creating the world will be in vain." Pangu gritted his teeth and inserted the Pangu Banner into the ground. He held up the sky with both hands and began the long and arduous process of holding up the sky.


    Pangu''s body gradually became transparent, and his power was being consumed rapidly.


    On the other side, Ye Wudao was completely immersed in the magnificent scene of creating the world, feeling the unparalleled shock.


    He seemed to be able to hear every breath of Pangu, feel every swing of his axe, and even understand Pangu''s unyielding will.


    Just as he wasÌÕ×íin this magnificent scene, a black light suddenly shot out from the chaos and directly hit Ye Wudao''s soul.


    "Damn it!"


    Ye Wudao exclaimed. He felt a cold and evil power instantly pour into his body, as if countless insects were squirming inside him.


    That black light turned into a wisp of black blood and quickly spread in Ye Wudao''s soul, trying to control his consciousness.


    Ye Wudao struggled desperately, but the power of the black blood was too strong. He felt that he was losing control of himself step by step.


    "No¡ª" Ye Wudao let out a desperate roar. His consciousness was gradually eroded by the black blood, and only darkness remained in his eyes.


    Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in Ye Wudao''s ear, as creepy as a viper:


    "Kid, you''d better not struggle, or..."

 Chapter 5: Devouring the Residual Soul of the Demon God of Destruction

    Ye Wudao was startled, and his heart skipped a beat. This voice... why did it sound so familiar?


    Wait a minute! This voice, this tone, this unrestrained and charming demeanor...


    "The Demon God of Destruction?!"


    Ye Wudao exclaimed, his voice trembling. This was the Demon God of Destruction!


    Legend has it that among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, this one was the most powerful, and one of the strongest who fought against Pangu, the God of Creation, until the end!


    "Demon God of Destruction, what do you want?"


    Ye Wudao suppressed the fear in his heart and tried hard to squeeze out a smile uglier than a cry, attempting to get on friendly terms with the Demon God of Destruction.


    However, the Demon God of Destruction wasn''t here to chat with him.


    That black blood spread wantonly in Ye Wudao''s soul, like a greedy viper, constantly devouring Ye Wudao''s consciousness.


    "Shut up, ant!"


    The voice of the Demon God of Destruction sounded again. This time, it was even colder and more ruthless. "As long as I devour your soul and seize your Chaos Origin, I can be resurrected!"


    "What?!"


    When Ye Wudao heard these words, he was instantly terrified. Devour my body? Seize my Chaos Origin?


    The Demon God of Destruction snorted coldly and didn''t give Ye Wudao any chance to defend himself. He had slept in the Chaos for countless epochs. He had just woken up and encountered the Great Tribulation of Creation.


    If he hadn''t fled into the void in time, he might have been chopped to pieces by Pangu''s axe long ago!


    But things weren''t going well now either. Although he had escaped the inevitable death, only a wisp of his divine soul remained. Fortunately, he still retained a drop of his heart''s blood.


    As soon as he arrived here, the Demon God of Destruction had discovered this little guy who was only in the form of a soul!


    As long as he devoured him, he could reshape his physical body and regain a trace of his former might.


    The more the Demon God of Destruction thought about it, the more excited he became, and his actions became more and more crazy.


    Ye Wudao was terrified when he heard this. The Demon God of Destruction was simply a madman!


    "No! I absolutely can''t let him succeed!"


    Ye Wudao roared in his heart, and a strong will to survive instantly burst out.


    He hadºÃ²»ÈÝÒ× traveled to this world. How could he be devoured like this?


    "Demon God of Destruction, don''t be so excited. Let''s talk things over!" Ye Wudao tried to resist the erosion of the black blood while attempting to calm down the Demon God of Destruction.


    "Shut up!" The Demon God of Destruction roared, interrupting Ye Wudao''s words. "Ant, just obediently become my nourishment!"


    After saying that, the black blood suddenly accelerated and·è¿ñµØÍÌÊÉ×ÅYe WudaoµÄ soul.


    Ye Wudao felt his consciousness becoming more and more blurred, and his body becoming weaker and weaker.


    "No! I can''t admit defeat like this!" Ye Wudao let out a desperate roar. He was unwilling to be devoured like this. He wanted to resist, he wanted to live!


    But in the face of the powerful Demon God of Destruction, what could he do?


    Ye Wudao''s consciousness gradually became blurred, and the scene in front of him began to distort. A feeling of unwillingness erupted like a volcano.


    This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    "IºÃ²»ÈÝÒ× traveled through time. How can I die like this? Don''t even think about it!" Ye Wudao shouted wildly in his heart, and the desire to survive grew like wild grass.


    Just then, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Ye Wudao''s body, like a bolt of lightning flashing through the night sky, illuminating the entire dark Chaos space.


    "What is this?!" The voice of the Demon God of Destruction was filled with fear and unease.


    He felt as if he was being imprisoned by a powerful force and couldn''t move.


    The white light became stronger and stronger, gradually forming a huge cocoon of light that wrapped Ye Wudao''s soul inside.


    Inside the cocoon of light, a piece of jade butterfly fragment the size of a palm emitted a soft light and slowly rotated.


    This jade butterfly fragment was one of the fragments of the Creation Jade Butterfly, containing infinite Creation Power.


    "The... Creation Jade Butterfly?!" The voice of the Demon God of Destruction trembled, full of disbelief.


    He never expected that this ant''s body would contain a fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly!


    The Creation Jade Butterfly was a supreme treasure of Chaos, containing the power to educate all living beings. Even he didn''t dare to touch it easily.


    Sensing the powerful power emanating from the fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly, Ye Wudao''s originally scattered consciousness gradually became clear.


    "This is... the power of the Creation Jade Butterfly?" Ye Wudao was overjoy. He didn''t expect that he had unexpectedly gained such powerful power by turning misfortune into a blessing.


    "Wait! Can I devour the Demon God of Destruction in reverse?" A bold idea emerged in Ye Wudao''s mind.


    As soon as this idea appeared, it spread like wildfire and quickly occupied Ye Wudao''s entire mind.


    "Fight him! I''m going to counterattack and kill him!" Ye Wudao let out a roar in his heart, and an unprecedented courage welled up in his heart.


    "Boy, you..."


    The voice of the Demon God of Destruction suddenly stopped, replaced by a terrified roar: "What''s going on?! My power... my power is draining away!"


    He was horrified to find that he was actually being counterattacked and devoured by this ant in his eyes!


    "Boy, what have you done?!"


    The voice of the Demon God of Destruction was full of fear and anger. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from this suction force, but all was in vain.


    That suction force was like a huge black hole, firmly sucking him in and devouring everything about him.


    Ye Wudao sneered at the corner of his mouth and didn''t answer the Demon God of Destruction''s question. Instead, he accelerated the speed of devouring.


    The power of the Demon God of Destruction, like a trickling stream, continuously flowed into his body, making him feel full of strength all over.


    "Ah! Damn it! You... you actually dare to devour my power! I will make you die without a burial place!"


    The Demon God of Destruction struggled wildly, like a trapped beast fighting back, trying to get rid of Ye Wudao''s control.


    The Demon God of Destruction''s struggle slowed down Ye Wudao''s devouring speed, which was intermittent, just like a network that was lagging.


    Ye Wudao frowned slightly, feeling the Demon God of Destruction''s counterattack, and thought to himself: "This guy is indeed a Chaos Demon God. Even in his residual soul state, he is so difficult to deal with."


    "Humph, just a last-ditch struggle!" Ye Wudao snorted coldly and increased his power output. Just like turning on an accelerator, the devouring speed increased again.


    The Demon God of Destruction''s struggle became weaker and weaker, and his voice became fainter and fainter, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.


    In the Chaos space, the power of the two of them was like two huge whirlpools, colliding and devouring each other, and there were bursts of rumbling sounds, as if the heavens and the earth were trembling.


    "Boy, you... you will die a bad death... ah!"


    The Demon God of Destruction let out a final desperate roar. His primordial spirit finally couldn''t withstand Ye Wudao''s devouring and completely shattered, turning into little stars and dissipating in the Chaos.


    "Huff..." Ye Wudao let out a long sigh of relief, feeling the surging power in his body. An unprecedented sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.


    He had actually devoured the Demon God of Destruction!


    This was something he didn''t even dare to think about before.


    "This feeling is so great!"


    Ye Wudao felt that he was now full of strength, as if he could punch and destroy the entire Chaos space.


    After devouring the primordial spirit of the Demon God of Destruction, Ye Wudao didn''t stop. Instead, he began to merge the blood essence of the Demon God of Destruction.


    The blood essence of the Demon God of Destruction contained powerful power, which was also a huge fortune for Ye Wudao.


    The blood essence of the Demon God of Destruction was as hot as lava, rushing wildly in Ye Wudao''s body, as if it was going to burn his body to the ground.


    Ye Wudao gritted his teeth, endured the intense pain, and tried hard to control the blood essence of the Demon God of Destruction, slowly integrating it into his body.


    The integration process was very slow and painful, like pressing a red-hot iron slowly on the skin. The burning sensation made Ye Wudao feel extremely miserable.


    "Ah..." Ye Wudao couldn''t help but let out a muffled groan. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down from his forehead and soaked his clothes.


    As time passed, Ye Wudao''s body gradually adapted to the heat of the blood essence of the Demon God of Destruction, and the integration speed gradually increased.


    He felt that his body was undergoing earth-shaking changes. His strength was constantly increasing, his bones were being strengthened, and his skin became more tough, like steel.


    I don''t know how much time had passed, and the integration was finally completed.


    "Although it''s just a preliminary integration, it''s enough."


    After the preliminary integration of the blood essence of the Demon God of Destruction, Ye Wudao obtained part of the power of the Demon God of Destruction and also obtained the identity of the Demon God of Destruction.


    From now on, he was no longer the ant that could be easily slaughtered, but a powerful Chaos Demon God!


    "The next step is to find a place to take on a physical form, but there''s still one thing to deal with before that!"


    Ye Wudao looked up towards the depths of the Chaos, where Pangu was creating a new world.

 Chapter 6 Seizing the Spiritual Treasures

    Ye Wudao stood in the void where chaos had not yet been separated, and his heart was pounding, as if beating a rapid war drum.


    This was not due to fear but full of excitement, just like the tension and anticipation of a gambler about to turn over the final card.


    After Pangu created the world, it was the crucial moment for the appearance of the Supreme Treasures of the Primordial World!


    At that time, the Innate Supreme Treasures and Innate Spiritual Treasures would all become ownerless items.


    If he could obtain a few of them, wouldn''t his strength soar to new heights? In this Primordial World, danger and opportunity were closely intertwined.


    Without a suitable weapon, even with the identity of the Demon God of Destruction, it would be difficult to gain a firm foothold after all.


    He was not like those Chaos Demon Gods who stupidly waited to be calculated by the Great Dao. He wanted to take a gamble and achieve a counterattack from the ordinary to the peak!


    Boom!


    A loud noise was more violent and shocking than any before!


    Chaos surged, and the earth, wind, water, and fire raged wildly, as if the end of the world had arrived. Ye Wudao squinted his eyes, and the power of destruction surrounded his body, resisting this chaotic storm that could tear everything into pieces.


    He saw that a towering figure, as majestic as a mountain, finally exhausted his strength and fell!


    ¡°It''s done!¡±


    Ye Wudao was overjoyed in his heart. His opportunity had finally come!


    As Pangu fell, his body began to undergo astonishing changes. His left eye turned into the Sun Star, his right eye turned into the Moon Star, his breath became the wind and clouds, and his sweat turned into rain and dew... His hair became plants and trees, and his blood became rivers...


    Even his Primordial Spirit was divided into three parts, combined with the three strands of Pure Qi, floating in the void!


    Twelve drops of blood essence floated out from Pangu''s body, combined with the Qi of the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, and were carried away by Pangu''s heart!


    This was Pangu transforming his body into all things!


    At the same time, a stream of Mysterious Yellow Qi descended from the sky. Two parts of it fell onto the Primordial World and turned into boundless merits!


    Ye Wudao watched as the Three Pure Ones received two parts of the merits, and then the twelve drops of blood essence obtained two parts.


    After that, two parts of the merits condensed into a pagoda, which was the Longlong Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, possessing ultimate defensive power.


    Two parts condensed into a ruler-shaped treasure, which was the Mysterious Yellow Measuring Ruler, possessing ultimate offensive power.


    ¡°Damn it, this old guy has such good luck!¡±


    Ye Wudao watched as the Lingling Mysterious Yellow Pagoda fled far away together with the Three Pure Ones. He cursed in a low voice but had no way to change it.


    This was the afterglow belonging to Pangu''s descendants, but he, Ye Wudao, was by no means someone to be trifled with!


    After the creation of the world, various spiritual treasures appeared one after another.


    The Chaos Bell transformed from the Sky-Opening Axe, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner, three Innate Supreme Treasures, emitted a powerful might that could suppress everything and hummed!


    If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    The Thirty-Six-Petaled Chaos Green Lotus also began to decompose. Five lotus petals turned into the Five-Fang Heavenly Flags, the lotus seedpod turned into the Qiankun Cauldron, and the root turned into the God-Slaying Spear...


    Three unripe lotus seeds also fell off and flew towards the newly born Primordial World.


    A fully ripe lotus seed also fell off accordingly.


    ¡°This is it!¡±


    Ye Wudao''s gaze was firmly fixed on the Chaos Bell. With a flash of his figure, he instantly appeared in front of the Chaos Bell!


    ¡°Buzz!¡±


    The Chaos Bell seemed to sense the threat and vibrated violently, trying to escape!


    ¡°Want to run? No way!¡±


    Ye Wudao sneered. The power of destruction burst out with all its might, instantly enveloping and suppressing the Chaos Bell!


    ¡°Take it in!¡±


    The Chaos Bell struggled a few times but was finally obediently taken into Ye Wudao''s possession!


    ¡°Haha! I''ve got it!¡±


    Ye Wudao was overjoyed in his heart. With the Chaos Bell, his strength would surely be greatly enhanced!


    Next, he set his sights on the God-Slaying Spear.


    Although this supreme treasure was not as good as the Chaos Bell, it was still a top Innate Supreme Treasure!


    ¡°You can''t escape either!¡±


    Ye Wudao used the same trick again, circulated the power of destruction to firmly suppress the God-Slaying Spear, and successfully took it into his possession!


    Finally, his gaze fell on the Green Lotus Seed of Creation.


    Although this Creation Green Lotus was not an offensive spiritual treasure, it contained infinite vitality. It could be used for healing and also had ultimate defensive power. It was a rare supreme treasure!


    ¡°I can''t miss this treasure!¡±


    Ye Wudao decisively took action, steadily plucked off one of the lotus seeds of the Creation Green Lotus, and took it into his possession!


    ¡°Hehe, what a great harvest!¡±


    Ye Wudao looked at the three treasures he had obtained and felt extremely proud.


    Suddenly, he sensed that there was some movement in the depths of the chaos in the distance...


    ¡°Hmmm? What''s going on?¡± Ye Wudao frowned and turned his head to look. He saw two figures flying rapidly from the depths of the chaos at an astonishing speed.


    ¡°They are Chaos Demon Gods!¡± Ye Wudao recognized the identities of the two figures at a glance.


    One was the residual soul of the Demon God of Demons, exuding a demonic aura all over, and the other was the residual soul of the Demon God of the Immortal Dao, surrounded by an immortal aura.


    These two Demon Gods were actually still alive!


    Ye Wudao was shocked. He had thought that after Pangu created the world, all the Chaos Demon Gods had been eliminated.


    Unexpectedly, there were still two residual souls of Demon Gods surviving.


    Moreover, the auras of these two residual souls of Demon Gods were extremely powerful, more powerful than any Demon God he had encountered before.


    ¡°Where are they going?¡± Ye Wudao was puzzled.


    He saw that these two residual souls of Demon Gods flew straight towards the Primordial World.


    ¡°Are they also going to enter the Primordial World?¡± Ye Wudao had an idea in his mind and also used all his skills to closely follow and fly towards the Primordial World.


    He passed through the membrane of the Primordial World, and a strong residual will of Pangu rushed towards him.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Ye Wudao snorted coldly. The power of destruction surged out and instantly dispelled the residual will of Pangu.


    He glanced at the Demon Gods of the Immortal and Demon Dao. They had already gone deep into the Primordial World and disappeared.


    The other lucky residual souls of Demon Gods who had escaped also followed one after another and entered the Primordial World.


    Ye Wudao ignored them and began to search for his own opportunity in the Primordial World.


    At the beginning of the Primordial World, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so rich that it seemed to be substantial. There were countless rare and precious natural materials and earthly treasures all over the mountains and plains.


    While flying at high speed, Ye Wudao carefully searched for a suitable place for cultivation, preparing to re-nurture a demonic body.


    At the beginning of the Primordial World, chaotic qi was rolling everywhere, and it was desolate. It was difficult to find even a trace of vitality.


    The gray sky had no sun, moon, or stars. Only thick chaotic air currents flowed slowly, like a huge ink painting, but exuding a suffocating depression.


    Ye Wudao wandered aimlessly in the sky above the Primordial World for several months.


    During these months, he witnessed the continuous evolution of the earth, fire, wind, and water, and the gradual formation of mountains, rivers, and streams, but the next moment they were destroyed by the violent chaotic air currents. Everything was constantly cycling between destruction and rebirth.


    This world at the beginning of the Primordial World was much more desolate and dangerous than he had imagined.


    The thick chaotic aura filled the air, making it difficult for him to breathe, and the Innate Spiritual Qi was extremely thin.


    ¡°Alas, this lousy place has a heavier environment than the smog in my hometown!¡± Ye Wudao couldn''t help but complain, and a deep sense of depression welled up in his heart.


    He subconsciously released a trace of the aura of destruction. Suddenly, the surrounding chaotic qi seemed to be irritated and rolled even more violently.


    Just then, Ye Wudao''s heart trembled violently, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.


    It was as if something was calling him and leading him, and that feeling was like a wanderer finding his way home.


    ¡°What is this...?¡± Ye Wudao was puzzled but also full of anticipation.


    He followed that mysterious feeling and flew in one direction.

 Chapter 7 Entering the Primordial World and Discovering the Underworld

    A month later, Ye Wudao came to the front of a huge canyon.


    The canyon was so deep that its bottom couldn''t be seen, and a gloomy aura filled the air, making people shudder.


    However, Ye Wudao didn''t feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he had an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if he had returned to his mother''s embrace.


    ¡°This feeling... Could it be that the remaining consciousness of the Demon God of Destruction is guiding me?¡± Ye Wudao guessed in his heart, and his eyes stared intently into the depths of the canyon. ¡°What''s there... at the bottom?¡±


    At the bottom of the canyon, there were jagged rocks, not a single blade of grass grew, and it was completely silent.


    Ye Wudao carefully observed the surrounding environment, filled with doubts in his heart.


    The feeling that was calling him became even stronger. It was right here in the canyon, but apart from the bare rocks, there was nothing.


    ¡°Could it be... spatial folding?¡± Ye Wudao suddenly thought of a possibility.


    Not long after Pangu created the world, the space of the Primordial World was extremely unstable. Large-scale spatial folding would form independent secret realms, hidden within the real world.


    Thinking of this, Ye Wudao suddenly became excited.


    ¡°Haha, it seems that my opportunity has come!¡± He couldn''t wait to find the hidden spatial entrance, but no matter how carefully he observed, he couldn''t find the slightest trace of it.


    As time passed, the excitement in Ye Wudao''s heart was gradually replaced by anxiety.


    The feeling that was calling him became stronger and stronger. He was almost certain that the opportunity was right in front of him, but he just couldn''t find the entrance!


    ¡°Damn it! Where on earth is it?¡± Ye Wudao couldn''t help but growl in a low voice, feeling extremely restless.


    He released the aura of destruction again, trying to trigger a resonance, but apart from making the surrounding chaotic qi even more violent, there was no other reaction.


    Ye Wudao took a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself down.


    He closed his eyes and carefully felt the feeling that was calling him, trying to find a clue.


    Suddenly, he felt a faint fluctuation coming from the bottom of the canyon.


    That fluctuation was extremely subtle. If he hadn''t been concentrating all his attention, he simply wouldn''t have been able to detect it.


    Ye Wudao suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze was fixed on an unremarkable rock at the bottom of the canyon.


    The surface of the rock was ordinary and had no difference from the surrounding rocks.


    ¡°That''s it!¡± Ye Wudao had an idea in his heart and flew down in front of that rock.


    He reached out his hand and gently stroked the surface of the rock, and a cold touch came.


    A flash of light shone in Ye Wudao''s eyes. He remembered the several treasures he had obtained from the chaos, and one of them was the Chaos Bell which had the ability to shatter the void!


    Although he hadn''t completely refined it yet and could only unleash its simple power, at the moment, this was his only option.


    ¡°I''ll take the risk!¡± Ye Wudao gritted his teeth and took out the Chaos Bell from the depths of his divine soul.


    As soon as the Chaos Bell appeared, the space within a million li radius rippled visibly, as if it couldn''t withstand the overwhelming pressure of this Innate Supreme Treasure.


    Buzz¡ª¡ª!


    A deep rumble resounded through the sky and the earth. Accompanied by a mysterious fluctuation of the Dao rhyme, the space at the bottom of the canyon began to twist and deform, just like a boiling water surface.


    Ye Wudao stared ahead nervously, holding the Chaos Bell tightly with both hands.


    The space twisted more and more severely, making a cracking sound, as if a huge ice surface was about to shatter.


    Finally, with a deafening bang, the space in front of him, like a broken mirror, shed a piece, revealing a pitch-black and deep hole.


    This hole was not a physical entity but a void, as if it led to another world.


    ¡°I made it!¡± Ye Wudao was overjoyed in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.


    He put away the Chaos Bell, took a deep breath, and leaped into the pitch-black spatial crack.


    The moment he entered, the broken space quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened.


    After entering the spatial crack, Ye Wudao found himself in a gray world.


    If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    There were no sun, moon, or stars here, no mountains, rivers, or streams. There was only endless gray mist and silence.


    However, the feeling that was summoning him became even stronger, as if it was right beside him, within reach.


    ¡°What a familiar feeling...¡±


    Ye Wudao was surprised in his heart. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the surrounding gray mist. A strange touch came, making him feel extremely intimate, as if this world was a part of his body.


    ¡°Could it be...¡±


    ¡°This is the body of the Demon God of Destruction...?¡± A thought flashed through Ye Wudao''s mind like lightning, making him instantly understand everything.


    At the beginning, he traveled through time to the chaos, witnessed Pangu creating the world, and also witnessed the fall of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.


    In the final battle between Pangu and the Demon God of Destruction, he was involved in it. By a stroke of luck, he merged with the fragments of the Demon God of Destruction''s Primordial Spirit and his blood essence.


    He had always thought that the Demon God of Destruction had completely dissipated, and only some remaining power had been absorbed by him.


    But he never expected that the body of the Demon God of Destruction had actually turned into this world!


    ¡°So that''s how it is! So that''s how it is!¡± Ye Wudao was overjoyed in his heart. He finally understood why he felt so familiar and intimate with this world.


    Because he and this world were originally one!


    He was the inheritor of the Demon God of Destruction, and this world was his home!


    The depression that had been pressing on his heart for a long time vanished at this moment.


    In its place was unparalleled surprise and excitement.


    ¡°Hahaha...¡±


    As the laughter gradually subsided, Ye Wudao began to seriously examine this world.


    He found that although this world was desolate and silent, it was full of infinite potential.


    The body of the Demon God of Destruction contained endless destructive energy. As long as he could completely refine it, he could obtain unimaginable power!


    Moreover, because he was connected by blood to this world, he could control everything in this world at will.


    With a thought in his mind, he could travel to any corner of the world.


    He seemed to have become the master of this world, controlling everything!


    Ye Wudao began to get familiar with this world. His figure was like a stream of light, shuttling through the gray mist.


    He traveled to every corner of the world, feeling the power of this world.


    There were no sun, moon, or stars here, no mountains, rivers, or streams. There was only endless gray mist and silence.


    But Ye Wudao didn''t feel bored at all. Instead, he was full of excitement and anticipation.


    Because he would give this world new life and a new order!


    Not long after, Ye Wudao had traveled all over the world.


    He was very satisfied with this world and was filled with joy in his heart.


    ¡°From now on, this world will be called the Underworld!¡± Ye Wudao announced. His voice echoed in this world, carrying supreme majesty.


    ¡°And I am the Lord of the Underworld!¡±


    As his words fell, a vast flow of fortune emerged from the depths of the Underworld and merged into his body.


    Ye Wudao felt his power growing rapidly, and his soul also became stronger.


    Becoming the Lord of the Underworld not only allowed him to obtain powerful strength but also gave him supreme fortune.


    He felt as if he was standing at the peak of the world, overlooking all living beings.


    ¡°Next, it''s time for secluded cultivation!¡± Ye Wudao thought to himself.


    He chose a towering mountain peak at the center of the Underworld as his cultivation ground.


    This mountain peak soared into the clouds, reaching straight to the sky, exuding an aura of majesty and mystery.


    ¡°This mountain will be called the Nine Elements Mountain!¡± Ye Wudao said.


    He flew towards the Nine Elements Mountain, ready to start his secluded cultivation. He had full plans and hopes for the future.


    He wanted to establish his own power in the Underworld. He wanted to make the Underworld the most powerful force in the Primordial World!


    He wanted to leave his legend in the Primordial World. He wanted to become the most powerful existence in the Primordial World!


    Ye Wudao landed at the foot of the Nine Elements Mountain and looked up at the towering mountain peak.

 Chapter 8: The Marrow Pool of the Demon Gods and the World - Destroying Black Lotus Seed

    Jiuyuan Mountain was covered with overlapping peaks that seemed to pierce straight into the sky.


    The mountain wind howled, and Ye Wudao''s robe flapped loudly, like a war song echoing in his ears.


    As he climbed higher, the spiritual energy became increasingly dense, almost taking on a tangible form, refreshing and invigorating.


    At the peak of the mountain, it suddenly opened up.


    Here, moss was everywhere, a lush green, which formed a sharp contrast with the desolation at the foot of the mountain.


    Strangely, although these mosses had absorbed the rich spiritual energy, they hadn''t developed spiritual intelligence, as if suppressed by an invisible force.


    Ye Wudao carefully sensed it, and that force was precisely the remaining coercion of the Chaos Demon Gods!


    Destruction and vitality were eerily intertwined here, creating a strange scene.


    "This Jiuyuan Mountain is truly extraordinary!"


    Ye Wudao looked around, and his gaze finally fell on a pond at the center of the peak.


    The water in the pond was as black as ink, giving off a faint black light.


    At the bottom of the pond, there was actually a pile of huge bones!


    The bones exuded an intimidating coercion. Even though they were in a broken state, one could still feel the power of their former owner.


    "This is... the marrow of the Chaos Demon Gods!" Ye Wudao''s pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart was filled with shock.


    The Chaos Demon Gods were extremely powerful beings that existed before the creation of the world!


    Their marrow contained unimaginable energy, and its value was in no way inferior to that of Innate Supreme Treasures!


    Ye Wudao suppressed the excitement in his heart and reached out his hand to gently touch the water of the pond.


    A warm and gentle energy instantly flowed into his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.


    "This... is simply a priceless treasure!" Ye Wudao was overjoyed in his heart. He felt like a traveler who was about to die of thirst in the desert and had suddenly discovered a clear spring.


    Suddenly, his gaze stopped at the center of the pile of bones.


    There, a black lotus seed lay quietly.


    The lotus seed was pitch black all over and exuded a terrifying aura.


    An aura of destruction emanated from the lotus seed, making Ye Wudao feel a sense of unease.


    "The World-Destroying Black Lotus!" A name suddenly flashed in Ye Wudao''s mind.


    He remembered that at the time of the creation of the world, he had once obtained a Creation Green Lotus Seed.


    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    Now, he had obtained the World-Destroying Black Lotus Seed...


    Ye Wudao couldn''t help but laugh heartily towards the sky, and a sense of heroism welled up in his heart.


    "Hahaha! This is truly the will of the heavens helping me!" He felt that his luck was incredibly good.


    Ye Wudao''s mind was working rapidly, weighing the value and uses of the two lotus seeds.


    "These two lotus seeds are both top-quality, but their functions overlap to some extent, and they are a bit of a¼¦Àß, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard. What if I could... combine them into one?"


    Ye Wudao had a bold idea in his heart, and this idea was like a spark that instantly ignited all his passion.


    This idea was like a seed that, once planted, couldn''t be stopped from taking root and sprouting.


    The more Ye Wudao thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible.


    "This Jiuyuan Mountain is the place where the Chaos Demon Gods fell, and there is a strong residual aura of destruction, which is the best environment for the growth of the World-Destroying Black Lotus."


    Most importantly, Ye Wudao practiced the Great Dao of Destruction, which was most compatible with the attributes of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.


    If he could integrate the Creation Green Lotus into the World-Destroying Black Lotus, he might be able to gain a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of Destruction.


    Ye Wudao''s eyes became brighter and brighter. He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart, starting to analyze the feasibility of fusing the two lotus seeds.


    "The Creation Green Lotus represents vitality and is suitable for growing in an environment full of vitality;


    while the World-Destroying Black Lotus represents destruction and is suitable for growing in an environment full of destruction.


    Although this Jiuyuan Mountain is full of vitality, it also has the residual destructive aura of the Chaos Demon Gods, which is just suitable for the growth of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.


    Moreover, although the Creation Green Lotus is powerful, it is just a lotus seed after all, while the World-Destroying Black Lotus contains the origin power of the Chaos Demon Gods and has unlimited potential.


    If the World-Destroying Black Lotus can devour the Creation Green Lotus, it might be able to evolve into an even more powerful existence.


    Ye Wudao''s eyes became fanatical, and he seemed to see the scene of the World-Destroying Black Lotus devouring the Creation Green Lotus and evolving into an Innate Supreme Treasure.


    "That''s it!"


    Ye Wudao made a final decision, and the hesitation in his heart completely disappeared. He decided to take a risk.


    At the peak of Jiuyuan Mountain, it was completely silent. Ye Wudao suddenly opened his eyes. He took out the Creation Green Lotus and held it in his palm.


    The two lotus seeds, one black and one green, faced each other from a distance, exuding different auras.


    The black World-Destroying Black Lotus was full of destruction and violence, like a dormant beast ready to pounce on its prey at any moment;


    while the green Creation Green Lotus was full of vitality and hope, like a young seedling breaking through the ground, longing for the nourishment of the sun.


    Ye Wudao could feel that there was a strange connection between the two lotus seeds.


    They seemed to be testing each other, and also seemed to be repelling each other.


    The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.


    Ye Wudao slowly put the Creation Green Lotus into the pond.


    "Plop!"


    With a soft sound, the Creation Green Lotus fell into the pond, creating a circle of ripples.


    Suddenly, the World-Destroying Black Lotus Seed at the bottom of the pond began to vibrate, emitting an even more dazzling light.


    Those rays of light, like threads, slowly converged towards the Creation Green Lotus.


    The Creation Green Lotus seemed to sense the danger and began to tremble violently, and the light it emitted became weaker and weaker.


    It wanted to escape, but was bound by an invisible force and couldn''t move.


    The World-Destroying Black Lotus Seed seemed to sense the fear of the Creation Green Lotus and began to jump excitedly, and the black light it emitted became denser.


    The water in the pond began to boil, making a "gurgling" sound.


    Above the pond, a huge whirlpool appeared, frantically sucking in the surrounding spiritual energy.


    The Creation Green Lotus struggled bitterly in the water, and the light it emitted became weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.


    While the World-Destroying Black Lotus Seed became more and more excited, and the black light it emitted became denser, like a black sun emitting a desperate aura.


    Suddenly, the World-Destroying Black Lotus moved.


    It slowly moved towards the Creation Green Lotus Seed. With each movement, the surrounding temperature dropped a little, as if they had come to a freezing polar region.


    The Creation Green Lotus seemed to have given up resistance and floated quietly on the surface of the pond, allowing the World-Destroying Black Lotus to approach.


    At the moment when the two lotus seeds were about to touch, the entire Jiuyuan Mountain shook, as if there was an earthquake.


    "Boom!"


    With a loud noise, the two lotus seeds finally collided.


    In an instant, a dazzling light burst out, illuminating the entire Jiuyuan Mountain.


    That light was full of destruction and hope, full of contradictions and conflicts.


    Ye Wudao was blinded by the light and couldn''t open his eyes. A terrifying force was brewing in the pond and might burst out at any moment.


    Time seemed to stand still.


    I don''t know how long it had passed, the light gradually faded, and the surface of the pond returned to calm.


    The Creation Green Lotus could hardly move under the oppression of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.


    The black light of the World-Destroying Black Lotus became even denser, like a huge black whirlpool, sucking in everything around it.


    Under such oppression, the light emitted by the Creation Green Lotus became weaker and weaker, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.


    It began to tremble violently and struggled to escape, but the black light of the World-Destroying Black Lotus was like an invisible chain, firmly binding it, and it couldn''t move.


    Ye Wudao stared closely at the surface of the pond, and the tension in his heart almost reached its peak.


    He could feel that the contest between the two lotus seeds had reached the most critical moment.


    The water in the pond began to boil again, making a "gurgling" sound. The whirlpool on the surface of the pond became bigger and bigger, frantically sucking in the surrounding spiritual energy. The air became thin, making it difficult to breathe.


    "It''s a success. Now all that''s left is to leave it to time!"


    Ye Wudao no longer continued to watch the battle. Instead, he jumped down and submerged himself at the bottom of the pond. He wanted to use the Marrow Pool of the Demon Gods to re-nurture his body.

 Chapter 9: A Slumber of Ten Million Years

    At the beginning of the Primordial Era, all things in the world were desolate and silent.


    The chaotic qi had not yet completely dissipated. After the Great God Pangu separated the sky from the earth, although there was boundless spiritual energy to nourish everything, this newly born continent was also full of crises everywhere.


    It was true that the spiritual energy was dense, but it was also extremely violent.


    Ordinary plants and trees, without great fortune, simply could not withstand this power. Often, just as they began to develop a bit of spirituality, their consciousness would be dispersed by the violent spiritual energy and turn into ashes.


    The Underworld was even more so.


    The spiritual energy here was filled with an aura of destruction, and it was even more difficult for any trace of spiritual intelligence to be born.


    The living beings that could give birth to spiritual intelligence in such an environment were all those with great fortune and extraordinary perseverance.


    Jiuyuan Mountain, as the center of the Underworld, naturally presented a different scene.


    The spiritual energy in the mountain was abundant, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere, and precious birds and strange beasts could be seen at every turn.


    The waterfalls cascaded down like the Milky Way hanging upside down; the ancient trees towered into the sky, blocking out the sun and exuding a strong aura of life.


    However, beneath this vibrant scene, there was a hint of disharmony.


    Among the living beings in Jiuyuan Mountain, although there were many of them, few had awakened their spiritual intelligence.


    Those birds and beasts were still ignorant and simply survived by their instincts.


    This was not because they were dull-witted, but because someone was secretly suppressing the birth of their spiritual intelligence.


    And that person was Ye Wudao, who had occupied Jiuyuan Mountain.


    Since coming to Jiuyuan Mountain, Ye Wudao had been in secluded cultivation here. On the one hand, he used the marrow of the Demon Gods to nurture his body, and on the other hand, he used his own Law of Destruction to prevent the living beings in the mountain from awakening their spiritual intelligence.


    He was not a merciful person, nor did he have the consciousness of "living in harmony with nature."


    In his view, once they awakened their spiritual intelligence, they would deplete the spiritual energy of Jiuyuan Mountain and affect his speed of emerging from seclusion.


    Rather than taking unknown risks, it was better to strangle it in the cradle.


    This kind of behavior could be said to be extremely selfish and cold-blooded.


    Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.


    But Ye Wudao didn''t think there was anything wrong with it at all.


    To him, he himself was the most important.


    As for other living beings, they were nothing but ants. If they died, they died, and they had no value at all.


    Perhaps this was the aftereffect of his fusion with the essence blood and primordial spirit of the Destruction Demon God.


    He was emotionally indifferent and everything revolved around himself.


    The spiritual energy of Jiuyuan Mountain had been gathering for years and formed a huge whirlpool at the top of the mountain.


    The whirlpool slowly rotated, devouring the surrounding chaotic qi and transforming it into pure innate spiritual energy, which was then spread to every corner of Jiuyuan Mountain.


    This was originally a great wonder of Jiuyuan Mountain and one of the reasons for the abundance of spiritual energy here.


    However, in recent times, there had been some strange changes in the spiritual energy whirlpool of Jiuyuan Mountain.


    The originally peacefully rotating whirlpool began to turn violent. Streaks of visible spiritual energy, like enraged dragons, tumbled and roared in the whirlpool, emitting deafening roars.


    In the center of the whirlpool, there were even traces of black cracks, as if they were going to tear the entire sky apart.


    This strange change was not naturally formed by heaven and earth. Instead, it was because a powerful will in Jiuyuan Mountain was awakening.


    The birds and beasts in the mountain felt this terrifying aura and fled in panic in all directions, and the entire Jiuyuan Mountain was thrown into chaos.


    Finally, when the whirlpool reached its peak, a dazzling black light suddenly burst out from the center of the whirlpool.


    "What time is it now?" A calm voice broke the silence in the darkness.


    There was no joy, no excitement, not even a trace of surprise.


    There was only the calmness like the eternal ice.


    There was no joy, no doubt, and even less fear. There was only endless indifference and calmness, as if he didn''t care about anything at all.


    The owner of this voice was Ye Wudao, who had been asleep for ten million years.


    He slowly opened his eyes, but it was still pitch black in front of him.


    "Hmm... this feeling..." He gently moved his fingers, feeling the surging power in his body, "Sure enough, it has been completely fused."


    The fusion he mentioned referred to the essence blood and primordial spirit of the Destruction Demon God.


    When Pangu separated the sky from the earth, three thousand Chaos Demon Gods tried to obstruct him, and Ye Wudao was caught up in the great battle and accidentally fused with the essence blood and primordial spirit of the Destruction Demon God.


    The Destruction Demon God had a violent temperament and was bloodthirsty, being one of the most terrifying existences in the chaos.


    Now, the Destruction Demon God and Ye Wudao had become one. He was the Destruction Demon God, and the Destruction Demon God was him.


    "Hehe..." The corner of Ye Wudao''s mouth curled into an icy arc, "This power is really fascinating..."


    He was not uneasy about fusing with the power of the Destruction Demon God. Instead, he felt an inexplicable excitement.


    Perhaps this was the influence of the power of the Destruction Demon God on him.


    He didn''t care about good or evil, right or wrong. He only cared about power, powerful power.


    "Perfected Taiyi Golden Immortal..." Ye Wudao felt the surging mana in his body and thought to himself, "After ten million years, I''ve finally reached this realm."


    From the memories of the Destruction Demon God, Ye Wudao knew that the Chaos Demon Gods in the chaos naturally had their own cultivation system.


    Since the Chaos Demon Gods were born accompanied by the laws, they were born as Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals, which was what was called Saints in the Primordial Era.


    But Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals did not have the ability of Saints to place their primordial spirits in the Heavenly Dao and be immortal. That is to say, Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals could be killed, which was why Pangu was able to kill Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals.


    The cultivation system in the Primordial Era, from low to high, was respectively Earthly Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Primordial Golden Immortal (Quasi-Saint), Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal (Saint), Heavenly Dao Realm, Chaos Realm, and Great Dao Realm.


    However, since the Primordial Era was still in ancient times and Hongjun had not yet passed on the method of cutting off the three corpses to become a Saint, the current cultivation system in the Primordial Era still followed the Path of Primordial Unity, rather than the Path of Cutting off the Three Corpses.


    Ten million years was an unimaginably long period for ordinary people.


    But for Ye Wudao, it was just a long slumber.


    He vaguely remembered that he was originally an ordinary college student. He drowned and died while saving someone, and then his soul crossed over into this chaos.


    He had witnessed Pangu separating the sky from the earth and also the great battle among the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.


    He had witnessed the great power of Pangu with his own eyes and also experienced the cruelty of chaos firsthand.


    He was caught up in the great battle and almost had his soul scattered, but he accidentally obtained the power of the Destruction Demon God.


    All of this was like a dream, yet it had truly happened to him.


    "Huff..." Ye Wudao let out a long breath, "I''ve finally made it through..."


    He wasn''t overly delighted about reaching the Perfected Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Instead, he just felt a sense of relief.


    After all, as the successor of the Destruction Demon God, the minimum condition for his transformation was to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.


    "Next..." A glint of light flashed in Ye Wudao''s eyes, "It''s time to refine the treasures I collected before..."


    His voice was still cold, but there was a trace of barely noticeable anticipation in it.


    The treasures he mentioned were not rare natural treasures, but the supreme treasures he intercepted at the beginning of the creation of the world.

 Chapter 10: Taking Stock of the Supreme Treasures

    In Jiuyuan Mountain of the Underworld, there was a deathly silence.


    At the bottom of the Marrow Pool of the Demon Gods on the mountaintop, a huge black cocoon was surrounded by an aura of destruction. Like an ancient demon god, it quietly soaked in the marrow of the demon gods.


    Ye Wudao inside the cocoon slowly opened his eyes. His profound gaze seemed to be able to pierce through time and space, reaching back to the time when chaos had not yet been separated.


    Just now, through an internal inspection, he had a clear understanding of his own strength.


    The fusion of the power of the Destruction Demon God with his soul was far more perfect than he had imagined. This new body contained incredible potential.


    "Heh," the corner of Ye Wudao''s mouth curled into an icy arc. "With this power, in this newly born Primordial World, I can be considered a powerful overlord."


    But he didn''t feel complacent about it. Moreover, when many living beings in the Primordial World take on human forms and emerge, that will be the real chaotic era, and also an opportunity for his rise.


    "To gain a foothold in the Primordial World, only one''s own strength is the foundation."


    Ye Wudao murmured to himself in a low voice, and there was an undeniable firmness in his voice. "And magic treasures are an important part of one''s strength."


    He closed his eyes and communicated with his mind, and his vision entered a void space.


    This was an inner world he had opened up with his great divine power, specifically used to store his supreme treasures. This was also a common method used by most cultivators.


    The power of a magic treasure depends to a large extent on the number of its restrictions.


    The fewer the restrictions, the weaker the power. For example, a magic treasure with only thirty-six restrictions is a Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure;


    When the number of restrictions reaches forty, it is a Middle-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure; with forty-four restrictions, it is a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.


    And those with forty-nine restrictions are Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures...


    Of course, above these, there are even more powerful existences - Innate Supreme Treasures.


    Ye Wudao''s gaze swept over several treasures in front of him, and finally landed on an ancient big bell. The body of the bell was covered with mysterious runes, exuding an aura that could suppress the ages.


    This was the Innate Supreme Treasure - the Chaos Bell!


    "The Chaos Bell integrates offense and defense. It can suppress time and space, stabilize the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, control time and space, and even evolve the myriad stars in the heavens. It is truly a supreme treasure!"


    Ye Wudao''s eyes showed undisguised love. "Compared with the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, I prefer the Chaos Bell. It is purer and more overbearing!"


    He gently stroked the Chaos Bell, feeling the ancient aura emanating from it, and a surge of lofty aspiration welled up in his heart.


    "When Pangu created the world, chaos shattered, and countless Innate Spiritual Treasures were scattered in the Primordial World..." A glint of light flashed in Ye Wudao''s eyes. "That will be my feast! I will surely take them all for myself!"


    Suddenly, he stopped his action and his gaze turned to another place, where a black spear lay quietly. The spear body exuded a terrifying killing aura.


    "Chaos Bell, God-Slaying Spear..." Ye Wudao murmured in a low voice. "I have already refined thirty-six restrictions of the Chaos Bell..."


    He paused, and a trace of complex emotion flashed in his eyes.


    "And the God-Slaying Spear..."


    In the deathly silence of the Underworld, Ye Wudao''s voice echoed in the void space, like peals of thunder, shaking people''s hearts.


    His gaze rested on the God-Slaying Spear. The blood-red inscriptions on the black spear body were even more dazzling in the dim space, outlining that every inch of the spear body was filled with endless killing intent.


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    "The God-Slaying Spear can be said to be the most overbearing weapon in the world."


    The function of the God-Slaying Spear was very pure, that is, ultimate lethality, and it had no other functions at all. The killing power on it could even temporarily cut off the connection between a Saint and the Heavenly Dao, thus killing the Saint.


    Ye Wudao''s fingers gently touched the God-Slaying Spear, and a heavy killing aura entered his body along his fingertips, making him involuntarily narrow his eyes.


    He had already refined forty-nine restrictions of it. Although there were still quite a few left, its killing power was already enough to make the heavens and the earth change color.


    After carefully putting away the God-Slaying Spear, Ye Wudao''s gaze turned to another treasure - the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.


    It was a small and delicate pagoda, transparent all over, with wisps of faint light floating in the air, looking like a work of art.


    The Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth was known as a supreme treasure that could ensure invincibility when placed on the head, and it was the complete opposite of the God-Slaying Spear.


    Unfortunately, Ye Wudao couldn''t continue to refine it. After all, it was formed because of Pangu''s merit in creating the world, and the Destruction Demon God that Ye Wudao inherited was Pangu''s sworn enemy. It was understandable that he couldn''t refine it.


    "Alas, what a pity. Since I can''t use it, I can only store it for now."


    There was a trace of regret in Ye Wudao''s voice as he turned his gaze to the World-Destroying Black Lotus beside it.


    This black lotus was deeply black, like a black hole in the night sky, exuding an ominous aura.


    However, at its center, a wisp of emerald green light loomed faintly, which was exactly the power of the Creation Green Lotus that had just been fused.


    At this time, the World-Destroying Black Lotus had successfully fused with the Creation Green Lotus and had grown to a new height.


    The lotus, which originally had only twelve petals, had absorbed the origin of the Creation Green Lotus Seed and grew three more petals, reaching the fifteenth grade.


    "Very good. The grade has reached the extreme of a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. As long as I find the Karma Fire Red Lotus and let you absorb it, the grade will surely reach the level of an Innate Supreme Treasure."


    Ye Wudao''s words made the World-Destroying Black Lotus emit a burst of light, and the entire lotus began to tremble slightly. An uneasy atmosphere filled the air.


    "Hahaha, upon hearing the name of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, you also have a trace of anticipation in your heart, right?"


    Ye Wudao''s voice echoed in the void space, as if he was talking to the World-Destroying Black Lotus, or perhaps just talking to himself.


    "Only by taking it for myself can the World-Destroying Black Lotus truly reach the realm of an Innate Supreme Treasure."


    Ye Wudao looked around, and a trace of greed and ambition flashed in his eyes.


    "Now, I already possess the Chaos Bell, the God-Slaying Spear, the Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, and some other small treasures. But these are still far from enough!"


    There was a trace of complacency in Ye Wudao''s voice, and a light called greed twinkled in his eyes. "After Pangu created the world, the Primordial World is filled with a large number of ownerless Spiritual Treasures.


    I must take on human form and appear before that, and plunder more supreme treasures!"


    As soon as Ye Wudao finished speaking, the aura of destruction around the black cocoon became even thicker.


    And he himself closed his eyes again, accelerating the operation of the breathing technique of the Destruction Demon God. He must race against time to raise his cultivation to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and then take on human form and go to the Primordial World...

 Chapter 11: Emergence

    At the peak of Jiuyuan Mountain in the Underworld, there is a black lake. The lake water is like the abyss of the night, so dark and profound that it''s suffocating. The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, as if any slight ripple would shatter this deathly stillness.


    However, at this moment, there is a black cocoon in the lake, quietly undergoing a transformation. This cocoon was originally just a drop of black blood, but it contains the power of destruction. Over countless years, this drop of blood has continuously absorbed the spiritual energy and the aura of destruction around it, gradually becoming more and more solid.


    Each beat of the cocoon contains powerful energy, and each slight fluctuation brings about new changes. Gradually, this black cocoon begins to exhibit a strange luster, and its surface seems to be covered with a layer of fine textures, just like ancient runes, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. The surrounding spiritual energy and the aura of destruction are drawn by some invisible force, frantically surging towards this cocoon, making it stand out even more in the lake.


    Time flies by, and I don''t know how many tens of thousands of years have passed. This black cocoon finally achieves a qualitative leap. The black blood originally wrapped in the cocoon gradually condenses into a more advanced form - the Innate Dao Body. This Dao Body not only contains infinite destructive power but also integrates the Dao rhythm rules in the marrow of the gods and demons, making its charm reach a higher level.


    At this moment, a powerful fluctuation suddenly surges out from the lake, and all the spiritual energy and the aura of destruction between heaven and earth are drawn in by this force. The lake water churns violently, forming black whirlpools, and fragments of Dao rhythm rules flash from time to time in the whirlpools, as if telling some ancient and powerful secrets.


    As the fluctuation intensifies, the drop of black blood in the center of the lake finally solidifies completely and transforms into a human-shaped outline. This outline gradually becomes clear and finally takes the form of a tall man. The man is dressed in a black robe, with long black hair draped over his shoulders, and his features are handsome and noble. He slowly opens his eyes, with a profound gaze, as if piercing through the darkness of the Underworld and looking towards a more distant Great Dao.


    The man quietly hovers in the void, feeling the powerful force flowing within his body, and his heart is filled with complex and indifferent emotions. The surrounding spiritual energy and the aura of destruction are still gathering frantically, forming an invisible barrier that surrounds the man.


    Then, the man just waves his sleeve gently, and those barriers seem to be dispelled by an invisible force, revealing the God and Demon Marrow Pool in the lake, which has already been mostly consumed.


    "From now on, there will be no more Ye Wudao in the world. There is only Mortis, the Lord of Destruction!" The man''s voice is not loud, but it is like the tolling of a great bell, echoing in the depths of Jiuyuan Mountain in the Underworld. Each syllable carries a primitive and destructive force, as if it wants to completely tear apart this silent space.

    The black lake water churns violently, like boiling magma, setting off towering waves. At the bottom of the lake, in the mostly dried-up God and Demon Marrow Pool, the remaining marrow powder also begins to tremble slightly, as if responding to this declaration, or perhaps fearing this power.


    In the dark, a mysterious aura descends, as if from the depths of the universe, and also as if from the end of time. This aura is vast and boundless, yet it also carries a trace of indescribable kindness. It gently brushes over Mortis'' body and then disappears without a trace. This is the recognition of the Great Dao, the blessing of the universe for the new life, and also the recognition of power.


    Mortis slowly rises from the marrow pool, and his black robe flutters in the wind without any wind. He is tall, but not bulky. Instead, he is full of a sense of strength. On his handsome face, a pair of blood-red eyes are like the profound starry sky, shining with a cold light. His expression is indifferent, without the slightest ripple, as if nothing in the world can catch his attention. Arrogant and domineering, this is the first impression he gives people.


    He stands there quietly, like a king ruling the world, looking down on his territory. Mortis'' gaze is cast into the distance, piercing through the thick fog of the Underworld and seeing the whole picture of this world. The gray sky is gloomy, without a single ray of sunlight. The land is barren, with no grass growing, only endless black rocks and gray dust. The Styx River winds its way, and the river water is as black as ink, exuding a nauseating stench of decay. All kinds of strange creatures that exude the power of destruction wander in the Underworld, emitting shrill howls, as if complaining about the cruelty of this world.


    However, there is no disgust in Mortis'' eyes. Instead, a trace of faint sense of belonging appears. This is his home, the place where he was reborn. He belongs here, and here belongs to him.


    "From a weak soul to the current Innate Dao Body, the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal..." Mortis silently reviews his experiences in his heart. He remembers that he used to be an ordinary college student and drowned while trying to save a drowning child. Then, his soul traveled to this chaotic space, witnessed Pangu''s creation of the world, and also witnessed the great battle among the Three Thousand Gods and Demons. In that earth-shattering battle, he accidentally obtained a drop of the essence blood and part of the primordial spirit of the Destruction God and Demon, which led to his current achievements.


    "The weak are prey to the strong, and the fittest survive. And I, possessing the Great Dao of Destruction, am destined to become the master of this world!" His gaze falls on the almost dried-up God and Demon Marrow Pool at his feet. "Tsk, in order to take human form, most of the God and Demon Marrow was actually consumed. This is a precious thing, and it''s a pity that it''s gone like this."


    Although he knows that these sacrifices are worthwhile in order to achieve the Innate Dao Body, there is still a trace of the petty mindset that hasn''t been adjusted yet deep in his heart. After all, he used to be an ordinary college student, and the value he places on resources has been engraved in his bones.


    "Forget it, it''s worth the cost. Consider it an investment." Mortis shakes his head and casts aside that trace of reluctance in his heart. He raises his head, and his gaze becomes firm again. "Now, it''s time to explore this newly born Primordial World."


    Mortis stretches out his hand, and a mass of destructive power appears in his palm. He punches out with his right hand fiercely. "Rumble!" A small black hole suddenly appears in the void in front of Mortis, slowly rotating and exuding a terrifying aura. This black hole is connected to the entrance of the Mortal Realm - the Abyss of Death.


    Looking at the black hole he punched out, the corner of Mortis'' mouth rises slightly, revealing a smile. Then he inserts both hands into the black hole and expands the black hole to a size that can accommodate a person, just like tearing apart a piece of wallpaper.


    "Thirty million years have passed. I hope the current Primordial World can bring me some surprises." Mortis looks at the black hole, steps into it with his legs, and his figure gradually disappears into the Underworld.

 Chapter 12: Returning to the Primordial World Once Again

    After thirty million years, the Abyss of Death in the Primordial World has undergone earth-shaking changes. What was originally just a desolate land with a slight sense of stillness has now become a true domain of deathly stillness. Even the air is filled with a suffocating stench of decay.


    The aura of destruction from the Underworld has corroded the area around the Abyss of Death for hundreds of millions of kilometers through the entrance. Enormous skeletons of savage beasts are scattered throughout the entire Abyss of Death.


    On this day, in the originally deathly still Abyss of Death, the spiritual energy of destruction suddenly began to riot, and countless spiritual energies started to converge in one direction. A black hole the size of a fist suddenly appeared in the central area, and then the black hole began to expand until it reached a size of a hundred meters.


    Mortis stepped out from the black hole and floated in the void. His long black hair fluttered gently in the chilly wind of the Abyss of Death. Standing on the edge of the Abyss of Death, he swept his gaze across this desolate land, took a deep breath, and felt those decaying molecules stirring in his nasal cavity, bringing an indescribable feeling of nausea.


    "Thirty million years have passed, and this place really hasn''t changed at all. I wonder if other parts of the Primordial World are also the same," Mortis said indifferently, his tone revealing a trace of calmness.


    He waved his hand, and a stream of black air gushed out from his palm, instantly dispelling the surrounding stench of decay, replaced by a reassuring tranquility. He landed on the ground, took steps, and walked steadily forward. Every time he stepped on the icy-cold white bones, he could feel the bones beneath his feet as hard as iron. The surroundings were still deathly silent, and only Mortis'' footsteps echoed.


    The further he walked out of the abyss, the more skeletons he encountered. Even many of the skeletons still had flesh and blood on them, obviously having just died not long ago. These huge bones clearly belonged to some kind of giant beast. Now, they were scattered on the ground, as if telling the cruelty of the Abyss of Death over countless years.


    Mortis gently kicked a skeleton, and the bones made a slight collision sound under his feet. That sound was particularly clear in the silent abyss. The corner of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a trace of a smile.


    "This is really a good place, very suitable as the entrance to the Underworld," Mortis closed his eyes and felt the energy fluctuations here. The power of destruction here was even more intense than he had imagined. Streams of the power of destruction belonging to the Underworld seemed to have a will and slowly poured into his body, making him feel an unprecedented sense of fullness.


    Mortis quickly opened his eyes, and his gaze became even colder. It wasn''t the time for cultivation yet. The purpose of his return to the Primordial World was simple. First, he wanted to seek opportunities, seize treasures, and enhance the foundation of the Underworld. Second, he needed to find the Karma Fire Red Lotus for the World-Destroying Black Lotus. As long as the World-Destroying Black Lotus could successfully devour the Karma Fire Red Lotus, it could be promoted to a Primordial Supreme Treasure.


    This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.


    Mortis silently repeated these two goals in his heart. These two goals were not only related to his own strength but also to his future plan to attack the Primordial World. Especially the Karma Fire Red Lotus, which was the key to the evolution of his World-Destroying Black Lotus.


    Taking a deep breath, Mortis cast aside all distractions in his heart and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task at hand. During the thirty million years when Mortis entered the Underworld to sleep and take human form, the Primordial World had also undergone tremendous changes.


    First, the resentment of the Chaos Demons combined with their flesh and blood gave birth to a new race - the Savage Beasts. These savage beasts were fierce and cruel, with not weak strength, but they lacked intelligence and only knew how to kill and destroy. Only very few savage beasts whose strength broke through the realm of the Taiyi Golden Immortal could develop intelligence.


    This large number of savage beasts without intelligence made the Primordial World even more chaotic and dangerous. In addition, under the natural nurturing of the Primordial World, Primordial Living Beings were also born. There were a large number of these living beings, and their races were extremely diverse, but each one had limited potential. Some of them couldn''t even break through to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in their entire lives.


    Their existence brought new hope to the Primordial World, but it also attracted the slaughter of countless savage beasts. This was also the reason why Mortis intervened in the transformation of the living beings in the Underworld. Too many useless beings were of no use except for wasting resources.


    Finally, the remnant souls of those Chaos Demons gradually took shape and became Primordial Demons. Although these demons were not as powerful as they were in the past, they still possessed extremely high combat power. Strictly speaking, Mortis also belonged to the Primordial Demons.


    "This Primordial World is really a world full of opportunities and dangers," Mortis murmured in a low voice. His voice was particularly clear in this silent abyss. He stretched out his hand and once again struck out a stream of the power of destruction, tearing apart the void in front of him. This time, the void collapsed even more rapidly, and the aura it emitted was even stronger.


    "It''s time to see the true face of the Primordial World now," Mortis'' voice carried a trace of coldness. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared instantly in the void, leaving behind the deathly still abyss.


    When Mortis'' figure suddenly flashed out from the void and appeared on the Primordial land like a ghost. Looking around, what came into view was not the immortal mountains and spiritual waters he had imagined, but endless slaughter and bloodshed.


    The savage beasts roared, their sharp claws tore through flesh and blood, and their fangs pierced through bones. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting. The blood stained the ground red, and broken limbs were everywhere, forming a hellish scene.


    Mortis looked at everything in front of him indifferently. There was no trace of pity or emotion in his blood-red eyes. All he saw was a group of ants struggling pointlessly. These savage beasts were nothing more than a combination of the resentment and flesh and blood of the fallen Chaos Demons. They had brute force but no intelligence and only knew how to follow their most primitive killing instincts.


    Their existence only added more chaos and bloodshed to this Primordial World. "The weak have no value in survival," Mortis whispered coldly. His voice was as biting as ice, and it was particularly prominent on this battlefield full of slaughter.


    He believed in absolute strength. In his view, only the strong could dominate everything, and the weak could only become the stepping stones of the strong. Since these savage beasts couldn''t control their own destinies, they could only become the nourishment for others to become stronger.


    Slowly raising his hand, a mass of the power of destruction once again appeared in his palm. The power of destruction exuded a terrifying aura, as if it could destroy everything.


    "Since that''s the case, let this slaughter become more interesting," Mortis licked his dry lips, the corner of his mouth curling into a sinister smile. His figure disappeared again, leaving only the smell of blood lingering in the air...

 Chapter 13: Seeking Treasures on Buzhou Mountain

    The Primordial land presented a wild and desolate scene. Shouts of killing, roars, and the howls of various savage beasts intertwined, playing a bloody deathly melody. Looking around, all that could be seen were the cruel pictures of the law of the jungle.


    Mortis'' figure, like a ghost, shuttled through this chaotic land. Perhaps influenced by inheriting the essence blood and primordial spirit of the Destruction Demon God, he was naturally imbued with an aura of destruction. And this aura was like a lighthouse in the dark for those savage beasts that hadn''t yet awakened their consciousness, exuding a deadly allure.


    "Roar!" All kinds of savage beasts swarmed in from all directions, surrounding Mortis tightly. In the face of this group of ferocious beasts, there was not the slightest trace of fear on Mortis'' face. His eyes remained cold. In his eyes, these savage beasts were nothing more than a group of beasts without intelligence, not worthy of his concern at all.


    "àÛ!àÛ!àÛ!" (Sound of something being destroyed) The savage beasts that charged at the front didn''t even have time to let out a scream before they instantly turned into powder and dissipated into the air. The other savage beasts seemed to be taken aback by this sudden change.


    However, greed and desire eventually overcame fear. After a brief moment of silence, the savage beasts launched another attack. They besieged from all directions, trying to make up for the gap in strength with their numbers.


    "What a nuisance," Mortis showed a trace of disgust on his face. Around him, the space slightly distorted, and black cracks loomed. Any savage beast that got close to Mortis would be torn to pieces by this force. Their bodies exploded in the air, blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was extremely bloody.


    I don''t know how long it took, but in front of Mortis, there was a mountain of corpses piled up, and the blood pooled into a river, staining the ground red. But Mortis'' eyes remained cold and unwavering.


    "This is so boring. I''m not going to play with you anymore," Mortis shook his head, showing a trace of boredom on his face. The next moment, his figure suddenly became blurred. As if a gentle breeze had passed by, he disappeared from the spot. Only the corpses all over the ground and the smell of blood lingering in the air remained as evidence of the fierce slaughter that had taken place here.


    His destination was Buzhou Mountain, that legendary divine mountain that supported the heavens and the earth. There might be some powerful spiritual treasures hidden there, which could be used to enrich the foundation of the Underworld.


    The smell of blood filled the air, like an inescapable shadow. After losing Mortis as their common target, the remaining savage beasts once again fell into chaotic battles. They growled and hissed, tearing at each other''s flesh with their claws and gnawing at each other''s bones with their fangs. There were no rules, no order, only the most primitive animal nature running wild.


    They were ignorant, without intelligence or thoughts, just following the drive of their instincts and fighting for survival. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the dust and blood on the ground, making this bloody battlefield even more brutal.


    Before he knew it, Mortis had arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. The towering mountain peak soared into the clouds, like a sharp sword piercing the sky. The mountain was steep and rugged, with grotesque rocks, covered with the marks of time.


    Mortis looked up, feeling the powerful oppressive aura emanating from Buzhou Mountain, and a sense of awe welled up in his heart involuntarily. This mountain peak was transformed from the backbone of the Great God Pangu, carrying the great power of creating the world and suppressing the earth veins of the Primordial World.


    This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    The Great God Pangu sacrificed himself to create this Primordial World, accumulating immeasurable merits. However, he also perished and his Dao vanished, transforming into all things and becoming the nourishment of the Primordial World.


    "The Great God Pangu proved the Dao with his power but ended up like this in the end. Is this really the way that can lead to success?" Thinking of this, a faint sense of sadness welled up in Mortis'' heart.


    The path of the Great Dao was long and arduous, full of uncertainties and challenges. Everything could only be explored and created by oneself.


    "Forget it. It''s no use thinking so much," Mortis shook his head, casting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and his eyes became resolute again. The Great God Pangu was indeed great, but the path he took might not necessarily be suitable for himself.


    Although he, Mortis, couldn''t compare with the Great God Pangu, he also had his own advantages and ideas. He could draw on the experience of the Great God Pangu but would never copy it blindly. He wanted to forge a path of his own, a path that no one had ever taken before and no one would follow after.


    "The Great God Pangu was able to create the world. I, Mortis, will surely be able to create my own glory!" Putting away his thoughts, Mortis stopped thinking about those distant and illusory things.


    The most important thing now was to enhance his own strength and expand the foundation of the Underworld. And to achieve this, he needed to find more spiritual treasures. Buzhou Mountain, as the center of the Primordial World, contained countless treasures.


    Mortis strolled along the path of Buzhou Mountain. Beneath his feet was the soft soil, and the fresh fragrance of plants and trees lingered at the tip of his nose. The sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting dappled light and shadows, like dancing spirits, adding a bit of vitality to this ancient and mysterious mountain forest.


    As he walked along, his gains were meager. The two high-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures he had obtained before seemed like¼¦Àß (useless things) to him. They were tasteless to keep but a pity to discard.


    "Alas, it seems that the spiritual treasures in this Primordial World are not so easy to obtain," Mortis had thought that with his initial Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level, he could roam freely in this Primordial World and could pick up top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures at will. But reality gave him a harsh slap in the face.


    Mortis quickly adjusted his mindset, and hope was reignited in his heart. After all, this was Buzhou Mountain! It was transformed from the backbone of the Great God Pangu and was the center of the Primordial World! There were countless treasures hidden here, waiting for the fated person to discover them.


    Mortis took steps and continued to climb up. Buzhou Mountain truly lived up to its reputation as a divine mountain. The higher he climbed, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became. In the air, it seemed as if the spiritual energy was like a liquid. Taking a breath, he could feel all the pores of his body opening up, and it was indescribably comfortable.


    At the same time, the oppressive aura of the Great God Pangu became stronger and stronger. This oppressive aura was as tangible as a real object, pressing down on Mortis, making him feel a bit heavy. However, with his cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was not yet overwhelmed by this oppressive aura.


    During the subsequent journey, Mortis was extremely lucky and discovered a lot of spiritual treasures one after another. There were spiritual herbs exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, ores shining with colorful lights, and some talismans containing powerful energy...


    The grades of these spiritual treasures were not very high. Most of them were acquired spiritual treasures, but there were quite a few of them. Mortis accepted them all and put these spiritual treasures into his storage space. Even a small mosquito is still meat. Although these spiritual treasures were of little use to himself, they were a considerable fortune for the Underworld.


    As the Lord of the Underworld, he naturally had to consider the future of the Underworld. These spiritual treasures could be used to enrich the foundation of the Underworld and enhance the overall strength of the Underworld.


    Just like this, Mortis walked and stopped along the way, constantly searching for spiritual treasures. Time passed, and before he knew it, Mortis had been on Buzhou Mountain for several days. He had almost turned Buzhou Mountain upside down and had reaped a rich harvest.


    "It''s almost time. I should go back and take a look," Mortis thought. He still had many things to do and couldn''t stay here all the time.


    Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. His gaze was drawn to a valley ahead. The valley was shrouded in dense trees and looked very secluded.


    However, Mortis felt that an extremely rich spiritual energy was emanating from the valley. This spiritual energy was much more concentrated than anywhere else he had encountered before.


    "What a rich spiritual energy. There must be some treasure in there!" Mortis'' heart stirred, and without hesitation, he walked towards the valley.


    When he reached the entrance of the valley, an even stronger spiritual energy rushed towards him, making him take a deep breath involuntarily.


    In the valley, there were no strange treasures, nor any powerful demon beasts. There were only some spiritual herbs growing on the mountain wall, emitting a faint light.


    He had never seen these spiritual herbs before and didn''t know what kind they were. But one thing was certain, these spiritual herbs were definitely not ordinary, because the spiritual energy they emitted was extremely rich.


    However, at the moment when Mortis stepped into the valley, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart...

 Chapter 14 The Huangzhongli Tree

    "Something''s not right!"


    Mortis let out a cold snort, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes as he swept his gaze over every inch of the valley, every rock.


    Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on an open area in the center of the valley.


    There seemed to be nothing there, but a powerful spatial fluctuation faintly emanated from it, clashing with the surrounding environment.


    "Spatial fault? Interesting."


    The corners of Mortis'' mouth curled into a playful smile, and a mass of black destructive energy slowly condensed in his palm, exuding a terrifying and disturbing fluctuation.


    "It''s hidden so deeply. It seems that this treasure is at least of the Supreme Spiritual Treasure level."


    Locking onto the spatial node, without the slightest hesitation, he pushed his palm forward violently!


    "Boom!"


    With a loud noise, the destructive energy shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, slamming into the spatial fault.


    The space cracked like a broken mirror, forming dark gaps, and making a teeth-gritting friction sound.


    The gaps grew larger and larger, and finally revealed an ancient and mysterious natural great formation.


    The great formation was composed of countless things that shimmered with strange lights. Spiritual energy surged like a river. Vaguely, one could also see the power of the stars being drawn from the sky and integrated into the great formation, making it even more stable.


    Mortis carefully observed the distribution of the formation flags in the great formation, the gathering of spiritual energy, and the way the power of the stars was drawn in, and his brows furrowed slightly.


    "Since that''s the case, then I''ll use absolute power to crush all obstacles!"


    Before the words fell, a dazzling black light burst out from Mortis'' body.


    That was not an ordinary light, but the manifestation of the pure law of destruction, a terrifying power that was enough to shatter stars and tear through space!


    Where the light passed, the space twisted and vibrated, as if it would collapse and shatter at any moment.


    He slowly raised his right hand and clenched his five fingers. A black long spear appeared in his hand.


    Countless mysterious runes flowed restlessly on the body of the spear, exuding an overwhelming oppressive force.


    Where the tip of the spear pointed, a slight crack appeared in the space, as if it couldn''t withstand this terrifying power.


    Mortis'' eyes narrowed, and he suddenly waved his arm. The black long spear, like a black lightning bolt, sliced through the void and stabbed fiercely towards the ancient great formation!


    "Boom!"


    Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    A deafening explosion sounded, and a violent energy fluctuation spread out in all directions like a tsunami. Everything in its path was completely destroyed.


    The originally lush valley instantly became a mess.


    Those rare spiritual herbs that had grown for countless years were uprooted like fallen leaves swept away by the wind, torn into pieces, and turned into ashes.


    Even those hard rocks cracked and shattered under the impact of the aftershock, turning into powder.


    Mortis, however, didn''t care about everything around him. All his attention was focused on the collision between the God-Slaying Spear and the great formation.


    He could clearly feel the powerful energy contained within the great formation and the tenacious will that tried to resist the law of destruction.


    Suddenly, a small black hole appeared in the center of the great formation.


    The black hole was like a greedy monster, frantically devouring the surrounding spiritual energy and power.


    Then, more black holes began to appear and expand rapidly.


    "Click!"


    A clear cracking sound, like the last straw that broke the camel''s back, completely shattered the defense of the great formation.


    Countless cracks spread across the entire great formation like a spider web.


    Finally, under Mortis'' all-out attack, this Tian Gang Di Sha great formation that had guarded for countless years completely collapsed!


    The spiritual energy inside the great formation also became chaotic, as if out of control.


    As the great formation stopped operating, a more intense and purer spiritual energy gushed out from inside the great formation like a burst dam.


    This spiritual energy was much more intense than at any previous moment, almost condensing into a tangible form, and filling the valley like a mist.


    Mortis didn''t hesitate for a moment. With a step, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already standing at the entrance of the great formation.


    Entering the great formation, Mortis immediately felt a more powerful oppressive force.


    The surrounding spiritual energy surged towards him like a tide. This spiritual energy was not only dense but also contained extremely powerful energy.


    Mortis circulated the law of destruction in his body, forming an invisible barrier that¸ô¾ø all the spiritual energy.


    In the center of the great formation, a spiritual root emitting a dazzling golden light stood proudly!


    On that spiritual root, there was a golden fruit, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.


    Rarely, a trace of joy appeared on Mortis'' face.


    The spiritual energy, so dense that it almost condensed into a tangible form, flowed slowly in the air like golden silk, weaving into a magnificent picture.


    In the center of this golden ocean, a spiritual root emitting a dazzling golden light stood proudly.


    Its branches coiled upwards like dragons, and every branch was full of a sense of power, as if it contained endless vitality.


    And what attracted Mortis'' attention the most were the fruits growing at the top of the spiritual root.


    Those fruits were golden, like small suns, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.


    The aroma was rich but not pungent. Instead, it carried a hint of sweetness, making people feel refreshed when they smelled it.


    "Huangzhongli!"


    Mortis recognized this spiritual root and this fruit.


    This was the number one spiritual root in the Primordial Era. It was a legendary treasure that could instantly make one become a Great Luo Golden Immortal after eating it!


    Mortis took a deep breath, feeling this fragrance, and his heart was filled with joy.


    But he wasn''t carried away by this joy.


    Although the Huangzhongli was precious, it was not without side effects.


    According to legend, although eating the Huangzhongli could make one immediately become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one would permanently lose the possibility of making further progress, and one''s cultivation base would be fixed at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal forever.


    "This thing is of no use to me."


    Mortis shook his head and put away the entire Huangzhongli fruit tree.


    Mortis didn''t plan to eat it, and he didn''t even plan to let the living beings in the Underworld eat it in the future.


    Now, the Primordial World has only been established for 30 million years, and even the Heavenly Dao is still asleep. It is undoubtedly stupid to mass-produce Great Luo Golden Immortals in a way that cuts off one''s future path.


    Even if one wants to take it, it should be done only after the potential of the living beings in the Underworld is exhausted and there is no hope of breaking through to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.


    However, just as Mortis turned to leave, a sharp killing intent suddenly struck from behind!


    "Who is it? Show yourself!"


    Mortis roared, quickly throwing a punch in one direction. The black destructive energy around his body surged wildly like boiling magma, ready to erupt at any moment.

 Chapter 15 Encountering a Sneak Attack

    "Boom!"


    The two forces collided. There was no earth-shattering bang, but it was like two stars compressed to the extreme exploding silently.


    The space slightly distorted, and the chaotic energy surged. The aftershocks spread out like ripples, shattering the floating meteorites around into powder.


    Mortis staggered a few steps, his throat turned sweet, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    He forcefully suppressed the surging blood in his body, feeling both shocked and angry in his heart.


    This sneak attack was so stealthy and swift. If he hadn''t remained vigilant all the time and his physical body hadn''t been tempered to be strong enough in the chaotic energy, he would have been seriously injured long ago.


    What made him even more shocked was that the opponent''s power was so pure and restrained. It carried no trace of the violent energy that leaked out, but it contained a sharpness that was enough to pierce through everything.


    He was annoyed at his momentary carelessness, allowing the enemy to approach so easily.


    Obtaining the Huangzhongli had made him relax a little mentally, which was a fatal oversight in this perilous Primordial World.


    At this moment, he only felt a burning pain on his back, as if he had been burned by an iron.


    "Who?!"


    Mortis roared. The power of destruction burned around him like black flames, illuminating his angry face.


    His scarlet eyes were like two burning coals, staring fixedly ahead, trying to find the person who had launched the sneak attack.


    Ripples appeared in the space, and a figure slowly emerged.


    It was a man dressed in a silver-white long robe. His silver hair was tied behind his head, revealing a well-defined face.


    His facial features were as exquisite as if they had been carved. His skin was fair and emitted a faint holy radiance.


    However, those eyes were as deep as a cold pool, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.


    Mortis felt a chill in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in him. He forcefully suppressed the doubts in his heart and sized up the other person warily.


    The aura around this man was restrained and profound, like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath. Its edge was obvious, yet it was difficult to fathom.


    "Great Luo Golden Immortal!"


    Mortis was secretly shocked in his heart. He could clearly feel the profound and restrained power on the other person, which was on a par with his own, and even... faintly surpassed it.


    "Who are you? Why did you launch a sneak attack on me?!"


    Mortis'' voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed anger, like a beast''s growl.


    The man in white had an indifferent expression, as if he didn''t care about Mortis'' anger at all.


    His thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered two words: "Di Tian."


    Di Tian?


    Mortis quickly went through the powerful beings with names and reputations in the Primordial Era in his mind, but none of them matched.


    This name was as unfamiliar as a solitary soul floating from the depths of chaos.


    The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.


    There was no impression of it, no record of it, as if it had emerged out of thin air.


    Could it be... a hidden expert who had not yet emerged in the Primordial Era?


    Or, was it a new incarnation of some old monster?


    "Di Tian..." Mortis chewed on this name, and the doubts in his heart grew even stronger.


    In this Primordial World, there were many hidden talents. Although he had obtained some opportunities and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, he still didn''t dare to be the slightest bit careless.


    Today''s sneak attack was like a wake-up call, reminding him that this was not a safe place, and a slight carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.


    Di Tian still had no expression on his face. His gaze landed on Mortis, with a trace of barely noticeable scrutiny.


    His tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable domineering: "You took something from Buzhou Mountain."


    Buzhou Mountain?


    Mortis sneered in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged on the surface.


    Buzhou Mountain was transformed from Pangu''s spine, supporting the heavens and the earth. There were countless treasures on it, but so what?


    Treasures belonged to those with virtue and ability. Once he obtained them, they were his, and no one could take them away!


    Could it be that this Di Tian regarded himself as the guardian god of Buzhou Mountain?


    It was really naively ridiculous!


    "Something from Buzhou Mountain?" Mortis deliberately pretended not to understand, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery, "What thing? I didn''t take anything at all."


    Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Di Tian and found that the other person''s gaze was always fixed on him. That gaze was as sharp as that of a falcon, as if it could see through everything about him.


    Mortis tensed up in his heart and was even more certain of his guess¡ªthis Di Tian didn''t know that he had taken the Huangzhongli!


    Di Tian fell silent, staring intently at Mortis as if he wanted to see through him.


    The air around seemed to solidify, filled with a oppressive atmosphere.


    After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth...


    "Who are you?"


    Di Tian''s tone was cold, with a hint of scrutiny. His gaze swept across Mortis'' face like a blade, as if he wanted to dissect everything about him.


    Spiritual energy surged around him, like a dormant giant beast, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.


    Mortis met Di Tian''s gaze without flinching.


    The corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile, and his tone was laced with a hint of mockery: "Me? Just a passerby. As for my name..."


    He paused, deliberately drawing out the sound, and then said word by word: "Mortis."


    "Mortis..." Di Tian repeated this name, frowning slightly, as if searching for relevant information in his mind.


    But soon, he relaxed his brows, and his tone was still cold: "I don''t care who you are. If you took something from Buzhou Mountain, you must stay!"


    Mortis burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the chaos, carrying a hint of arrogance and provocation.


    "Something from Buzhou Mountain?" His tone was playful, "Tell me, what exactly did I take?"


    Although he didn''t admit it, he didn''t deny it either. His words fully revealed his confidence and dominance.


    Di Tian''s eyes narrowed, and a sharp killing intent burst out instantly. The surrounding innate spiritual energy surged violently, like boiling magma, and the space began to distort and deform.


    "Stubborn and unyielding!"


    He let out a cold snort. A brilliant silver light enveloped his body, and an overwhelming pressure as vast as the sea swept out, as if it was going to crush Mortis into powder.


    Mortis didn''t show any weakness. The power of destruction gushed out, forming a black ocean behind him, confronting Di Tian''s silver light.


    Black flames danced around his body, like the flames of hell, exuding an aura of destroying everything.


    The two powerful forces collided, and the space shook violently, emitting a continuous humming sound, as if it was about to collapse.


    The air was filled with an irritable atmosphere, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.


    Mortis'' eyes were like torches, staring fixedly at Di Tian. He felt his blood boiling, and a strong sense of excitement welled up in his heart.


    Di Tian also had a burning gaze. The silver light around his body became even more dazzling, like a burning star, illuminating the entire chaotic space.


    He felt Mortis'' strength, and a trace of excitement also rose in his heart.


    He hadn''t encountered such a worthy opponent in a long time.


    "Fight!"


    Mortis roared, his voice shaking the universe. He condensed a black long spear in his hand and stabbed towards Di Tian with the might to destroy everything.


    Di Tian let out a cold snort. A flash of silver light appeared in his hand, and a silver long sword appeared.


    He flicked his wrist, and the sword light was like lightning, slicing through the void to meet Mortis'' God-Slaying Spear.


    With an earth-shattering bang, the two forces collided, bursting out with earth-shattering energy. The surrounding space instantly collapsed, forming a huge black hole that devoured everything around it.


    "Come on! Let me see how much you''re really capable of!"


    Mortis was full of fighting spirit. The black flames burned fiercely on his body, making him seem like a god of war from hell.


    "You will regret it..."


    Di Tian''s eyes were cold. He waved the long sword in his hand, and the sword light was like a rainbow, slicing through the chaos and attacking Mortis.


    Mortis sneered, neither dodging nor evading. He brandished a black giant hammer and met Di Tian''s attack head-on.


    "Regret? I, Mortis, don''t know what regret tastes like!"


    The two figures intersected in the void, like two bolts of lightning, so fast that the naked eye could hardly catch them.


    Every collision erupted with an earth-shattering bang, and the surrounding space kept collapsing, forming huge black holes one after another.

 Chapter 16 The Collision of Two Innate Supreme Treasures

    "Hmph, you do have some strength, but it''s still not enough to impress me!"


    Before the words finished, Mortis'' figure had disappeared from the spot.


    Di Tian''s pupils suddenly shrank, and a strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.


    Almost instinctively, he waved the long sword in his hand. The sword light swept out like a bolt of silk, tearing through the void and emitting a sharp whistling sound.


    "Boom!"


    With a loud noise, two powerful forces collided in the void, setting off huge waves.


    The surrounding space twisted violently, as if it was about to be torn apart, making a teeth-gritting "creaking" sound.


    The visible shock wave spread out, dispelling all the nearby air and creating a vacuum zone.


    Di Tian only felt a overwhelming force rushing towards him, and his figure involuntarily retreated several steps.


    When he stabilized his figure, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.


    This Mortis actually had such powerful strength!


    "The Gods Descend to the World!"


    Di Tian let out a roar, and countless illusory figures of gods emerged behind him, exuding a vast divine might.


    These illusory figures of gods held various divine weapons and shouted in unison, their voices shaking the universe.


    "The Burial of the World of Annihilation!"


    Mortis was not to be outdone. He stabbed out with the God-Slaying Spear in his hand, and a pitch-black¹âÖù shot up into the sky, as if it was going to swallow the entire Primordial World.


    Where the¹âÖù passed, the space collapsed, and the innate spiritual energy dissipated, forming a dead black void.


    The two great magical powers and laws collided, bursting out with earth-shattering power.


    The space shattered, and time became chaotic. The entire Primordial World seemed to be on the verge of collapse.


    Buzhou Mountain below the two of them was also affected. The mountain body shook violently, and countless huge rocks rolled down, making a deafening rumble.


    Both Di Tian and Mortis were shaken back by this powerful force. They each stabilized their figures, and their eyes were filled with a solemn expression.


    "Eternal Annihilation!"


    Di Tian made a move again. He waved the long sword in his hand, and streaks of sword light cut through the chaos like shooting stars and attacked Mortis.


    Each streak of sword light contained destructive power, enough to easily destroy a star.


    "Dusk of the Gods!"


    Mortis brandished the God-Slaying Spear and shattered each streak of sword light.


    The black flames on his body burned fiercely, making him seem like a demon god from hell, with an overwhelming momentum.


    The two figures kept intersecting in the void, and every collision erupted with an earth-shattering bang.


    The space kept shattering, and the chaotic energy surged, creating a doomsday scene.


    Buzhou Mountain swayed precariously, as if it was going to collapse at any moment.


    Both Di Tian and Mortis felt the other''s strength, and they were both filled with fear in their hearts.


    They both knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and a slight carelessness could lead to eternal damnation.


    "You..." Di Tian panted heavily, staring fixedly at Mortis and saying word by word, "Who on earth are you?"


    Mortis sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "I''m just a passerby..."


    He paused, and his tone suddenly became cold. "A passerby who wants your life!"


    "Hmph, a passerby? A passerby who can rival me, Di Tian?" Di Tian obviously didn''t believe Mortis'' words. He sneered, and the killing intent in his eyes almost solidified. "Well, today I''ll let you see what true power is!"


    As he spoke, Di Tian put away the long sword in his hand and summoned a scepter that was entirely golden and carved with countless divine patterns.

    As soon as the scepter appeared, a vast and majestic aura instantly spread out, forcing the surrounding chaotic energy to retreat.


    "Innate Supreme Treasure!"


    Mortis'' eyes instantly became sharp, staring fixedly at the scepter as if he wanted to see through it.


    This guy in front of him actually possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure. The Primordial World really was full of hidden talents!


    "You do have some knowledge!" Di Tian looked at Mortis proudly, as if he was sure of victory. "This is the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Divine Emperor Scepter, which contains supreme divine power. Today, you will perish under its radiance!"


    Mortis took a deep breath and dispelled all the distracting thoughts in his heart.


    He didn''t regret his original choice. Since he had come this far, he could only fight to the end!


    An Innate Supreme Treasure? Coincidentally, I also have one!"


    Mortis sneered. With a flip of his palm, an ancient and vicissitudes giant bell appeared in his hand.


    The giant bell was entirely in the color of chaos, carved with countless mysterious runes, and exuding a terrifying aura that could suppress the heavens and reverse the universe.


    "The Chaos Bell!"


    Di Tian''s face changed suddenly. The contempt in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by deep fear.


    He obviously didn''t expect that Mortis also possessed such a powerful treasure!


    The atmosphere instantly became solemn, like the calm before a storm.


    The two of them faced each other from a distance, and their powerful auras collided in the air, making crackling sounds.


    The surrounding space seemed unable to bear the burden and began to twist and shake violently.


    "It seems that today, we are destined to fight to the death!"


    Di Tian said through gritted teeth. He could feel that the Chaos Bell in Mortis'' hand posed a great threat to the Divine Emperor Scepter in his hand.


    "Just what I want!"


    Mortis sneered. With a flick of his wrist, the Chaos Bell spun and flew into the air.


    At the same time, Di Tian was not to be outdone and raised the Divine Emperor Scepter high.


    A dazzling golden light burst out from the top of the scepter, instantly illuminating the entire chaos.


    Where the golden light passed, all the chaotic energy was dispelled, as if it was going to create a new world.


    The auras of the two Innate Supreme Treasures collided·è¿ñ in the void, stirring up endless storms.


    The surrounding space began to collapse on a large scale, revealing pitch-black void cracks, like huge mouths ready to devour people.


    "Go!"


    Mortis let out a loud shout, formed seals with his hands, and injected a series of magic formulas into the Chaos Bell.


    The Chaos Bell instantly shone brightly, and streaks of chaotic energy fell from the body of the bell, like waterfalls, firmly protecting Mortis within.


    "Break it for me!"


    Di Tian was not to be outdone either. He continuously injected the divine power in his body into the Divine Emperor Scepter.


    The golden light of the Divine Emperor Scepter became even more dazzling, like a golden sun, emitting endless light and heat.


    The two Innate Supreme Treasures engaged in a fierce confrontation in the chaos. The chaotic energy emitted by the Chaos Bell and the golden light burst out by the Divine Emperor Scepter kept colliding and canceling each other out, making deafening roars.


    The surrounding space collapsed on a large scale, and time also seemed to become chaotic.


    This battle had exceeded the limit that a Great Luo Golden Immortal could bear, and it was even enough to threaten the existence of a Primordial Golden Immortal.


    The entire sky above Buzhou Mountain seemed to be torn apart by the power of these two Innate Supreme Treasures.


    The outcome of the battle depended on this moment!
