Chapter 816

He already possesses the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Kaihuang Golden Spirit Sword.

Even if he were to obtain other Chaos Heavy Treasures, their benefit to him would be limited.

After all, he is already straining to use this one Innate Supreme Treasure.

Of course, the most important thing is that obtaining this Chaos Heavy Treasure carries great risk.

Even after enduring these risks, he would still have to share it with others.

This makes it even more unnecessary.

It would be better to directly target this operation's objective: the Chaos lifeforms contaminated by the Lingkong Mother Goddess.

With Luofu Tianzun and others drawing the gaze of that unknown Chaos Demon God from within, his harvesting of these Chaos lifeforms and the Chaos Demon God alike would be much easier.

Zhang Jian's abacus clicked and clacked.

……

Witnessing Zhang Jian leave with the Broad Saint Emperor, Luofu Tianzun's eyes held a hint of coldness, and then he said to the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor.

"True Martial Daoist, it seems you too have moments of misjudgment!"

After a slight pause, he spoke calmly.

"I only hope he does not ruin my great undertaking!"

His tone clearly carried some resentment.

The True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor stroked his beard slightly and said.

"Dihuang Daoist is an elder of the human race and a high minister of the Heavenly Court; surely he is not one without faith!"

Luofu Tianzun let out a light hum and immediately strode straight toward the depths of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake.

His inner displeasure was not concealed in the slightest.

At this moment, seeing this, Shaohua Tianzun shook his head and said.

"Luofu rarely gets angry; once he accomplishes this matter, I fear the Dihuang Daoist will encounter trouble!"

He seemed to mutter to himself, and also to the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor, and immediately followed closely behind Luofu Tianzun.

The True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor's expression remained calm, and he did not take it to heart.

On the contrary, he secretly became a bit more cautious and careful.

The Dihuang Shangdi, willing to risk offending everyone to withdraw, surely would not act without reason.

He brought the Chijun Daoist and followed closely behind.

……

"Dihuang Daoist, where are we going now?"

Beside Zhang Jian, the Broad Saint Emperor's face showed some heaviness, and also a hint of helplessness.

He knew this time he had thoroughly offended Luofu Tianzun and Shaohua Tianzun.

He feared that as the master of this Chaos Market, he too had reached his limit.

Although somewhat helpless, the Broad Saint Emperor still leaned toward trusting Zhang Jian.

For he had personally seen Zhang Jian slay the Star-Extreme Demon God with force.

The opponent's ability to overcome strength with weakness meant his primordial spirit must be exceptionally agile.

Holding the idea that it is better to believe it may be true than to believe it may be false, he did not hesitate this time.

"Those Chaos Evil Eyes on the outer layer are likely the eyes and ears of the inner-layer Chaos Demon God; we should first eliminate them, then deal with other Chaos lifeforms, and the Chaos Demon God will then be much easier to handle!"

He gave a slight call, and immediately led the Broad Saint Emperor toward the previous river mouth.

Above the river mouth, vast and boundless Chaos Spirit Qi flowed outward from this river mouth into the outside, the Chaos Spirit Qi surging mighty and vast, with a large portion being swallowed by the dozens of reef-like 'Black Stones' of millions of zhang in height at the river mouth's center.

They emitted a faint Chaos radiance.

Upon careful inspection, these Black Stones are actually each a terrifying Chaos Evil Eye.

Deep within the Chaos Evil Eyes, layers of Chaos Qi circulate; a burst would inevitably be extremely fierce and powerful.

At this very moment, the countless Chaos Evil Eyes standing in the river mouth's center suddenly had their pupils shift, and lo and behold, a dazzling, blinding golden light had at some point illuminated the void above.

The golden light twisted several times in the depths of the void, revealing countless Chaos Evil Eyes hundreds of millions of zhang tall, their enormous eyeballs' depths likewise pierced by terrifying golden flowing light.

That golden flowing light was like flowing water, yet had reached the utmost extreme.

Then, one saw strands of golden light like flowing water falling down; countless Chaos Evil Eyes had no time to release their evil-eye gazes before instantly turning into complete lumps and falling into the river mouth.

Meanwhile, below, a portion of the smaller Chaos Evil Eyes, tens of thousands of zhang tall, glowed with intense purple light, as if emitting deadly rays in all three hundred and sixty degrees, scanning, yet having no effect whatsoever!

The golden light swept past, and countless small Chaos Evil Eyes were simultaneously pierced and dismembered by sword-light like flowing water.

From within their bodies, traces of azure-colored river illusions dispersed.

That azure-colored river seemed to violently tremble, to roar, and faintly manifested strands of azure-colored Qi merging into the corpses of these Chaos lifeforms, aiding them in rebirth.

Around the river mouth, at this moment a purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light appeared, instantly transforming into a great furnace that enveloped this vast river mouth.

It did not discriminate—whether the残bodies of dozens of Chaos Evil Eyes or the entirety of the Chaos Long River, all were swallowed into it.

Thick azure sacrificial fire blazed from the Dihuang Furnace, sacrificing together the many Chaos Evil Eyes.

Zhang Jian felt that deep within his brow, streams of extraordinary and observable Heaven-Earth Origin flowed from the unseen void into his Niwan Palace.

The Innate Green Lotus naturally flew forth from within.

Absorbing the Heaven-Earth Origin fed back by nearly a hundred Chaos Evil Eyes, the Innate Green Lotus's depths saw the Innate Creation Origin reach its limit, and the Tenth Innate Indestructible Divine Prohibition rapidly took shape.

As this Innate Indestructible Divine Prohibition was born, strands of magnificent Chaos Creation Divine Light shone forth from within itself.

The profound mystery contained in this Innate Indestructible Divine Prohibition relates to creation.

It seems able to turn decay into marvel.

Turn destruction into creation!

If the layered Chaos Creation mysteries contained within were fully comprehended, Zhang Jian would have full confidence in letting this Three Turn Origin Dao Art, the Turning of Creation, ascend to higher levels, even to break through into the Dao Realm.

The true form of the Great Sacred Emperor appeared on one side of the river mouth, and at this moment, his eyes were filled with intense surprise.

The dozen or so Chaos Evil Eyes that had mastered the Infant Technique were slaughtered by Zhang Jian in just a few breaths.

This scene was truly terrifying.

The spiritual perception of these Chaos Evil Eyes, the Infant Technique, was no small matter.

Once they detected any abnormality, they would immediately transform their forms, and could even jointly manifest the true form of the Thousand-Eyed Demon God.

But this time, they did not have the chance to unleash their spiritual perception or the advantage of the Infant Technique, and they could not even sense the approach of this Earth Emperor God.

The Great Sacred Emperor personally witnessed the Earth Emperor God boldly approaching the numerous Chaos Evil Eyes, and then directly drew his sword, effortlessly extinguishing the vitality of the countless Chaos Evil Eyes.

Feeling the advancement of the Innate Green Lotus, Zhang Jian's eyes flickered with a faint smile.

The Innate Green Lotus had actually advanced to become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

This was truly a great joy.

Moreover, what was most rare was that this Innate Green Lotus had not yet bloomed.

If the flower bud at its core were to fully bloom, would it not indicate that the Innate Green Lotus had a hint of hope to restore the profound mystery of the Chaos Green Lotus?

Of course, Zhang Jian also knew that the 'Chaos Living Beings' required for this would necessarily be vast in quantity.

Even plucking the Spirit Void Mother God clean might not necessarily achieve it.

But for him, it was still best to first thoroughly pluck the Spirit Void Mother God before speaking further.

As the numerous Chaos Evil Eyes were being refined, Zhang Jian gradually dispersed the Earth Emperor Furnace at this time.

Deep in his palm, several special Chaos Divine Materials appeared.

These were remnants left on the corpses of a few exceptionally cultivated Chaos Evil Eyes; sensing that these Chaos Divine Materials were unusual, Zhang Jian kept them.

"They seem to be Tear Demon Stones!"

The Great Sacred Emperor had sharp eyes, seeing those several pitch-black stones with peculiar gray patterns, and felt a hint of envy.

Tear Demon Stone is a type of Chaos Divine Material; only powerful Chaos Evil Eyes that have advanced to the Dao Venerable level can, by fortunate coincidence, crystallize their origin and nurture such Tear Demon Stones.

This Tear Demon Stone is the supreme divine material for refining investigative attribute immortal treasures.

It can also be used to assist in cultivating the Heavenly Eye and Divine Eye techniques.

However, this group of Chaos Evil Eyes was entirely dealt with by this Earth Emperor God, and he had no face to step forward and take advantage.

After flying forward, he simply said.

"Earth Emperor Dao Friend, which direction shall we go next?"

Both understood that after the Chaos Evil Eyes disappeared, the other Chaos Living Beings around the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake would inevitably be startled.

Deep in the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, that one would also take action.

The two gods must absolutely not be surrounded; they must take the initiative.

Of course, both understood that although they said they would help the Floating Heaven Venerable and others in the outer periphery to conduct containment, if things became impossible, they would certainly withdraw at the first opportunity.

As for the safety of the Four Gods inside, it truly had little to do with them.

This was also just like Zhang Jian's joking remark before he left.

If the Four Gods gained something inside, would they really split it two ways?

Probably not!

They were now entirely acting out of 'humanitarianism', helping the other four teammates divert some of the Chaos Living Beings' attention.

This was the true thought deep in the Great Sacred Emperor's heart.

What he actually wanted to say implicitly was that slaying these Chaos Evil Eyes was already enough to fulfill his duty.

That's about enough.

Zhang Jian perceived the Great Sacred Emperor's thoughts, but could not help it; his goal was these Chaos Living Beings polluted by the deep evil of the Spirit Void Wood, so he pointed in one direction and said.

"We shall go to the upper reaches of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake; I recall there is a ferocious Chaos Demon God coiled in an upstream tributary not far from here, this Chaos Demon God guards several of the most important exits in this region and can at any time rush to aid nearby Chaos Living Beings; we must eliminate it to avoid affecting our retreat!"

"Eh..."

The Great Sacred Emperor was slightly stunned, only hearing Zhang Jian reveal a faint smile on his face, and then he continued.

"If this venerable one is not mistaken, the place where this Chaos Demon God is coiled is actually a relatively rare Chaos Spirit Eye; we shall first slay it, and perhaps there will be additional gains!"

He immediately took the lead, riding along the edge of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, and rushed swiftly toward the upstream direction.

The Great Sacred Emperor hesitated for a moment, but having no choice, still decided to follow.

……

Deep in the Chaos Long River, this is a river bend of a majestic tributary of the Chaos Long River; the river bend has slightly slower Chaos Spirit Mechanism, and furthermore, on one side above, there is a large expanse of Chaos Divine Stone extending into the center of the Chaos Long River, blocking a large expanse of the Chaos Long River's turbulent flow, making the Chaos Origin Spirit Qi in this region more gentle.

Below, there seems to be another anomaly; streams of extremely pure Chaos Spirit Mechanism emerge from within, making the Chaos Spirit Mechanism in this region exceptionally pure, likewise like a liquid state.

At this moment, the usually slow-flowing Chaos Spirit Mechanism suddenly fluctuated, and from within burst forth strands of intense Chaos Divine Light; a humanoid figure emerged from the depths of the Chaos Spirit Mechanism; his majestic true form suddenly manifested, as if billions of layers of majestic violent divine power burst forth from within, invisible ripples sweeping through the endless Chaos Origin Spirit Long River, yet no abnormality was seen.

Within the Chaos Divine Light, a near-human-shaped Chaos Demon God with bulging muscles suddenly manifested.

He had a human body and a snake tail, his entire body covered in azure-blue dragon scales, icy-blue long hair flowing, emitting a mysterious icy-blue radiance; but see, the radiance instantly transformed, his long hair turning into terrifying dragon snakes waving, deep in his brow a faint trace of icy-blue divine seal appeared.

In his hand he held an icy-blue war spear, his snake tail swaying, a vast ocean-like extreme cold power burst forth from his entire body, freezing billions of millions of miles of void.

Above the void, a voice almost like that of the Heavenly Dao faintly appeared.

"Truly pitiful, as the hegemon of the ancient era, the powerful ones of the Innate Demon God clan have actually sunk into the power of the Chaos Evil God, becoming servants of the evil god; you have truly lost the face of the twelve ancestors of the Innate Demon Gods, and even more, lost the face of the Primordial Heavenly King!"

Upon hearing this voice, the eyes of the honored and tall Chaos Demon God flickered with a hint of gloom and ferocity.

"Get out!"

He borrowed a seal with one hand, layer upon layer of violent icy-blue divine power continuously swelling and expanding, as if endless icy snow from the heavens was falling in the depths of the Chaos Long River, seeking to freeze the Chaos Universe.

Feeling this power, the faint voice in the void sounded again.

"Today, I, on behalf of the new Xuanming God, strip you of everything!"

But see, deep in the void, a path of intense golden divine light suddenly appeared from the void, merely flashing briefly; this already transformed Chaos Demon God's strong one's eyes suddenly froze, and in an instant, his head fell from his shoulders.

Only his vitality had not been extinguished; an invisible roar echoed in the void, and as he raised his halberd, he saw a purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light already emerging from the depths of the void.

The purple-yellow dragon-shaped immortal light spread rapidly, instantly engulfing him; no matter how he swung his halberd, it was of no avail.

He failed to break the already-formed Earth Emperor Furnace.

The massive Earth Emperor Furnace swallowed the towering, nearly ten-million-zhang-tall majestic Chaos Demon God; beneath the azure flames, the qi within the Earth Emperor Furnace was rapidly dissipating.

Above the void, the Broad Saint Emperor gazed upon this scene, his expression shifting slightly.

This scene was truly terrifying and awe-inspiring.

The Chaos Demon God transformed from a primordial demon god clan powerhouse was by no means weak.

The aura it displayed had already reached the Third Transformation Dao Venerable realm.

Moreover, he seemed to have successfully achieved bloodline atavism, cultivating the True Form of the Xuanming Demon God.

Such divine power—even if he faced it, he might not necessarily prevail in battle.

Yet he never expected that a mere encounter would cost him his life at the hands of the Earth Emperor Supreme.

Still, thinking that the opponent could even slay such a terrifying existence as the Star Pole Evil God,

slaying a Chaos Demon God of the Third Transformation Dao Venerable level was nothing remarkable.

After slaying this Chaos Demon God, Zhang Jian raised his hand and waved; a vast divine energy pierced downward through the Chaos Spirit Eye.

In an instant, a strange blue treasure light was forcibly seized by him from within.

Within the strange blue treasure light flickered the chilling concepts of 【Ice Snow】 and 【Frozen Ice】, which were entirely different from the 【Frozen Ice】 and 【Ice Snow】 Great Dao principles of the myriad realms.

Zhang Jian glanced at it, then put it away.

Such a supreme treasure, for cultivators of the myriad realms who practice the ice-snow origin, would undoubtedly be a supreme treasure.

Sensing the leakage of chaotic spiritual energy from the depths of the Chaos Spirit Eye, Zhang Jian this time did not choose to absorb it, for he had sensed the chaotic sentient beings surrounding the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, and the Chaos Demon Gods seemed already mobilized.

Among them, some had detected the battle fluctuations here and were drawing near.

Zhang Jian, without a word, immediately took the Broad Saint Emperor to the next location.

Leaving him was not an option.

Here there were so many chaotic sentient beings polluted by the Spirit Void Mother Goddess.

Where could one find such a place!

Before sensing true danger, he would not leave.

In the following time, Zhang Jian, accompanied by the Broad Saint Emperor, began running around the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake; any chaotic sentient being or Chaos Demon God encountered—if small in number or defeatable—would inevitably fall to Zhang Jian's lethal strike.

If the primordial spirit sensed something amiss, Zhang Jian would rather abandon the prey than risk a reckless assault.

For a time, the chaotic sentient beings and Chaos Demon Gods around the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake were all on edge, startled by every shadow.

After a period of slaughter, these Chaos Demon Gods and chaotic sentient beings, driven by self-preservation, finally dared not continue acting alone or in small groups.

Yet Zhang Jian also discovered that, no matter how much these chaotic sentient beings and Chaos Demon Gods feared his presence, they still dared not enter the range of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake.

When the chaotic sentient beings gathered in large numbers, Zhang Jian's hunting frequency slowed.

In truth, he was more wary of the entity lurking deep within the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake.

But on this day, the situation changed.

By the banks of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, Zhang Jian and the Broad Saint Emperor, who had been in quiet cultivation, almost simultaneously lifted their heads—only to see, at the lake's center, a vast and boundless divine energy bursting forth, mighty and surging, as if endless chaotic winds swept across the entire Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, even the billions of kilometers of the Chaos Long River!

Under this vast divine energy, even Zhang Jian and the Broad Saint Emperor, far in the outskirts, felt their Dao hearts surge with turbulence.

That power was truly earth-shattering.

Divine might swept over them, and they too felt suppressed by the boundless chaos of time and space!

After his shock, the Broad Saint Emperor couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jian, a hint of relief in his eyes.

To face such a terrifying existence—it was hardly different from courting death!

"This time, they probably truly cannot escape!"

At this moment, deep within the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, anomalies continued to emerge!
