Chapter 818

In the depths of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, the Chaos Demon God was gradually becoming enraged.

Not only was he being pressed and beaten by the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, he could also feel that the Chaos beings stationed on the periphery of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake as sentinels were rapidly dwindling in number!

If this continued, he would soon become a 'bare-pole commander'!

Yet he had no way to escape his current opponent.

The opponent before him was too terrifying.

Even when he deployed his Primordial True Form, he was still being pressed and beaten by the other party.

Fortunately, the opponent still held some apprehension toward the Chaos Divine Pagoda in his hand.

"Karmic Reincarnation Tribulation!"

At this moment, above the void, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable struck again with a palm, as if the myriad heavens and ten thousand worlds' billionfold cosmic principles and rules were continuously evolving and transforming.

This punch embodied the true meaning of tribulation.

The tribulation of the myriad heavens originally arose from the ancient interplay of motion and stillness, and is the inevitable result of the evolution and transformation of multiple heavenly and earthly cosmic principles.

Under this punch, the Chaos Demon God felt a terrifying aura of death, as if his entire body were about to fall into the great millstone of heaven and earth, to be ground into powder by the incessant turning and changing of billions of weights.

It seemed that no matter what he did, he could not escape the layered heavenly and earthly cosmic principles.

Even the unknown Primordial rank seemed capable of being enveloped within it.

"Chaos Tremor, All Things Origin!"

This Chaos Demon Ape's eyes burst forth with endless Chaos Divine Light; at this moment, the Chaos Divine Pagoda instead rapidly shrank, merging into his billion-zhang Chaos Demon God true form, as layers of Chaos Divine Light expanded around his body, similarly forming a colossal palm that seemed capable of shielding boundless Chaos spacetime, which he slammed down fiercely.

At this moment, the billionfold layers of Chaos Divine Light swelling behind him faintly revealed a grand and extraordinary omen.

In the depths of the Chaos Origin Ocean, a strand of extraordinarily vast Chaos Origin Great Dao principles descended into his Chaos Demon God true form's power; this palm truly was earth-shattering.

Not only did it shatter the grand Heavenly Emperor's secret art with the force of splitting bamboo, but it also reversed direction, sweeping toward the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable's true form.

It seemed as if this grand divine power stirred up boundless raging torrents.

Even the four Immortal Gods standing around the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake felt tremors beneath their feet, as a terrifying divine force was drawing away the Chaos, and furthermore, a violent Chaos Divine Wind swept the gods, blowing toward the depths of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake.

Under the tremor, the four immortals hastily broke through vast expanses of Chaos gale and continued outward.

Upper reaches of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake.

Upon a long river, sensing the boundless Chaos River accelerating as it was devoured by the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, merely emitting from his person a vast and majestic Imperial divine power, like a heaven-reaching divine pillar standing in place, suppressing the boundless Chaos storm.

He had not prepared to retreat directly.

After clearing the surrounding myriad Chaos beings and Chaos Demon Gods, Zhang Jian turned his attention to the depths of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake.

Compared to these Chaos beings, Chaos Demon Gods.

This one in the depths of the Chaos Origin Spirit Lake is the main force.

If there were an opportunity, even if the opponent tore off a piece of flesh, Zhang Jian would not relinquish such a chance.

Boldness feeds the hungry; timidity starves them!

Moreover, there is still the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable, this 'ironclad ally,' on his side.

Zhang Jian held in his hand the Kaihuang Golden Spirit Sword; this innate supreme treasure seemed to also sense that deeply concealed killing intent, emitting a deterrent golden radiance.

……

In the depths of the Chaos Vortex, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable's expression was calm; at this moment, his nine-colored divine light suddenly withdrew from around him, revealing within a resplendent golden radiance.

Within the golden radiance emanated an extreme, fierce, and domineering divine power, with nine golden dragons coiling around his body.

At this moment, he was no longer a deity who acted in accordance with Heaven, governing myriad gods and spirits as the Heavenly Emperor, but the supreme sovereign governing myriad heavens, myriad gods, myriad kinds, and myriad laws—more like the primordial supreme of all heavens and worlds.

His body surged with vast Primordial divine power; at this moment, he seemed to have dissipated from nowhere into the boundless Chaos Vortex depths, stepping step by step toward the Chaos Demon Ape.

The boundless Chaos universe rotated, and the resonating grand Primordial marvelous power, when facing him, suddenly began to unravel thread by thread.

All laws do not invade; all evils retreat; even if the myriad heavens and boundless earths, they ought to submit beneath his feet.

He slowly raised his hand, and saw that the threads of Primordial Chaos Divine Light condensed by the Chaos Demon Ape were actually collapsing one by one; a vast Primordial divine power, transcending all obstruction, pointed toward his primordial spirit's depths.

A feeling of extreme danger arose in the Chaos Demon Ape's heart; it, like a blood moon, was cruel and cold, and in its eyes at this moment flickered thread after thread of astonishment.

Under this terrifying blow, he clearly felt his third-realm Primordial True Form gradually collapsing, and the Primordial secret arts condensed around his body were also being dismantled.

Naturally, the Chaos Divine Pagoda deep within his brow once again surfaced.

Layer upon layer of Chaos Origin Divine Light erupted from the depths of the Chaos Divine Pagoda, causing his aura to suddenly surge violently.

The Pagoda emerged from nowhere, hanging down thick, mysterious strands of Chaos Divine Light; this layer of Chaos Divine Light was exceptionally substantial, emitting a resplendent Primordial radiance.

Yet that point of resplendent golden light drifted faintly, carrying the aura of myriad paths submitting, only self and self, and wherever its gaze passed, that substantial, vast Chaos Divine Light was actually pierced point by point, its radiance transforming into threads of golden fine lines, striking upon the Chaos Divine Pagoda.

The Chaos Demon Ape only felt a terrifying divine power strike into the depths of the Chaos Divine Pagoda, as if directly entering its innate indestructible divine light, faintly shaking the imprint he had left deep within the Chaos Divine Pagoda.

This filled his innermost heart with shock.

The cultivation of this terrifying powerhouse had actually reached such a degree.

The Chaos Heavy Treasure in his hand, however, was not an ordinary Chaos treasure born of a common Chaos secret realm,

but rather a vessel nurtured by the Chaos Origin Great Dao to carry the Dao.

Yet this power also stirred the ferocity deep within the Chaos Demon Ape's heart.

He is not like ordinary Chaos Demon Gods; he is not from the myriad heavens, nor transformed from Chaos beings.

But a Chaos Demon God born from the Chaos Origin Great Dao's principles.

Upon descending into the world, he possesses supreme divine powers and boundless potential.

Even embracing the boundless Chaos Origin Ocean, he rarely finds an equal.

Even the Spirit Void Mother God can only cooperate with him, not forcibly invade him.

"Chaos Divine Pagoda, Boundless Whale-Swallow!"

His elongated ape arms were extraordinarily agile; with his hand he formed a Chaos seal, the Chaos Divine Pagoda hanging down myriad strands of Chaos Divine Light that merged with him, and behind him appeared one after another Chaos Pearls formed from Chaos Origin in the void, as if numerous Chaos worlds were emerging from the Chaos Pearl.

One after another Chaos Pearls drifted forth from the depths of the Chaos River, hovering in the midst of the vast Chaos River.

In an instant, these Chaos Treasure Pearls swelled violently, transforming into boundless Chaos Divine Light that shot straight into the depths of the firmament.

Boundless Chaos Divine Pillars faintly formed an array.

At this moment, on the periphery, Zhang Jian gazed upon the towering, majestic Chaos Killing Arrays rising into the sky, and his eyes flickered with a hint of change.

Immediately, his figure turned into a streak of light as he retreated once more.

He sensed that this Chaos Demon Ape was truly unlike the supreme Dao masters such as Star Pole Mo Shen Neng.

Its strength was at least superior by one or two measures, and then some!

Yet at this moment, he could also see that the one who had driven the Chaos Demon Ape to such a state—the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable—obviously possessed an even more terrifying cultivation.

Under such divine power, it seemed the vast Chaos Cosmos had been completely mobilized.

Boundless Chaos had become the battlefield.

The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, gazed upon this scene, yet did not prepare to grant this Chaos Demon God the chance to form an array. With a wave of his hand, vast draconic divine light moved between the strands of Chaos Dao patterns, and in an instant, he saw threads of golden light bursting from deep within his palm, transforming into a divine sword imbued with boundless, majestic heavenly Dao authority.

Radiant and vast Imperial True Intent flowed forth from within it, and within the sword light, it seemed to contain the myriad worlds—countless layers of heavenly realms flickered like phantoms.

The vastness of the sword light caused the face of the Chaos Demon Ape, near at hand, to undergo a dramatic change.

Only seen: deep within his brow, he had just managed to condense a Chaos Dao Fruit and merge it into the depths of the Chaos Divine Pagoda, when the Chaos Killing Array he had just formed likewise collapsed, and the myriad-zhang tall, majestic Chaos Demon Ape's true form was submerged by boundless purple-gold sword radiance.

The sword radiance that cleaved through endless Chaos permeated from within the Chaos Killing Array, as if piercing through the boundless, majestic Chaos.

Deep within the Chaos River, even the Five Immortal Gods separated by hundreds of millions of millions of miles of spacetime felt their bodies grow cold, as if struck by the terrifying sword radiance and annihilated within the endless sword light.

At this moment, not only the distant Luo Fu Heavenly Venerable, True Warrior Subduing Demon Emperor, Shao Hua Heavenly Venerable, and Guang Sheng Emperor, but also Zhang Jian, who was somewhat closer, underwent a change in expression.

"The Great Heavenly Venerable truly lives up to being the strongest closest to the Primordial Beginning Realm—this divine power is indeed..."

In the depths of the Luo Fu Heavenly Venerable's eyes, a fierce light flickered faintly, and at the bottom of his gaze lay a thread of intense reverence.

Beside him, the True Warrior Subduing Demon Emperor had not spoken a word, yet in the depths of his Dao heart, there was no lack of turbulent emotion.

Such heaven-shaking, earth-moving divine power—surely it could not fall short of those Mixed Yuan Sages spoken of in legend.

In the eyes of these several divine beings, there were some ripples.

Their eyes held a measure of reverence.

Even the Guang Sheng Emperor.

Throughout the heavenly void, there had long been much debate over who was the first beneath the Primordial Beginning.

At this moment, in the hearts of all immortals, only the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, remained.

Even the current Buddhist Patriarch of the Buddhist Gate, several ancient Demon Lords, and even the heads of the Three Teachings!

In the distance, Zhang Jian narrowed his eyes—the blinding sword light temporarily robbed his eyes of function, yet he could still faintly discern some changes.

His formidable primordial spirit awareness allowed him not only to observe this great battle as a bystander, but also to perceive a part of the profound mysteries of the Primordial Beginning Realm.

He could see that, whether it was the Chaos Demon Ape or the Jade Emperor, the Primordial Beginning status within their bodies had already grown powerful to a certain degree, faintly revealing a layer of flawless, perfect, vast Mixed Yuan qi mechanism.

At the same time, the Primordial Beginning status power maintained that layer of Primordial Beginning force filling the entire body for a prolonged duration.

Waging war in such a state, the divine power emitted far surpassed that of ordinary immortals and gods.

This was likely the fixed Primordial Beginning form of Primordial Beginning Realm powerhouses.

Primordial Beginning True Body!

Besides this, there was yet another point—he had merely caught a glimpse of a rough outline.

But this also opened his eyes wide.

At least for him, he now had a vague impression of just how formidable those Dao masters beneath the Primordial Beginning Realm truly were.

This was good.

At least he now had a concrete goal to surpass.

At this moment, the majestic Heavenly Emperor Sword Light had not yet faded, but Zhang Jian's agile primordial spirit will had already sensed the changes on the battlefield.

Beneath the Heavenly Emperor Sword Light, vast stretches of the Chaos Killing Array collapsed.

Moreover, upon the Chaos Majestic Divine Pagoda, a short-lived, indelible terrifying sword mark appeared, as if driven deep into the pagoda's body.

Yet the Chaos Divine Pagoda emitted layer upon layer of intense Chaos Divine Light, as countless majestic Chaos Dao patterns gradually emerged from its body, slowly smoothing over the sword mark, while a layer of intense divine light burst forth from within.

The Chaos Divine Pagoda radiated a tremendous divine power, as if fully erupting.

The damage it suffered was instantly repaired, but its host—

That terrifying Chaos Demon Ape, however, bore a terrifying blood-red sword mark on one side of its chest, as if faintly shattering its shoulder blade and piercing deep into the chest cavity.

The Chaos Demon Ape became greatly enraged.

Vast Primordial Beginning Divine Flame burned across his entire body, his eyes' depths filled entirely with frenzied battle intent, and deep within his palm, a Chaos Divine Iron appeared.

Upon seeing the Chaos Divine Iron, the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, his eyes grew even colder and more icy.

"In this heaven and earth, there is only one existence daring to wield an iron rod against Me—you are most certainly not the second!"

Deep within his palm, this Heavenly Emperor Sword flared violently, faintly manifesting three vast phantoms from the void.

"I have one sword, to govern the heavenly realms of heaven, earth, and man!"

Vast divine power erupted from the Heavenly Emperor's sword, and behind the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, three divine wheels of different colors condensed.

The will of the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao emerged from within, and suddenly the three became one.

Boundless sword radiance burst from the body of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword, and the myriad layers of Chaos oceans seemed, in that instant, to be torn apart by the boundless, violent Heavenly Emperor Sword Qi, flooding the boundless Chaos Cosmos.

The violent Primordial Beginning Divine Light struck, and the hands of the Chaos Demon Ape raising the Chaos Divine Iron were likewise pierced through by the unmatched Heavenly Emperor Sword Light.

The radiant Heavenly Emperor Sword Qi caused his primordial spirit awareness to completely collapse within a short time.

Merely out of instinct, the Chaos Divine Pagoda also drooped layer upon layer of Chaos Divine Light, shielding his surroundings.

Yet in an instant, it was still severed by a golden sword light flowing like water, violently piercing through the Chaos Demon Ape's true form.

But having passed through the filtration of the Chaos Divine Pagoda's defense, this terrifying sword light merely pierced through the Chaos Demon Ape, inflicting some damage upon his terrifying Chaos Demon God true form!

Possessing the Chaos Heavy Treasure for defense, the Chaos Demon Ape was difficult to injure fundamentally.

But this was only the beginning. The sword of the Heavenly Emperor, held deep in the palm of the Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Sovereign, emitted a sword radiance of utmost brilliance, and around him, layer upon layer of primordial divine light merged into it, as sword lights transformed into various angles, layer upon layer advancing to wear down the defensive divine light cascading from the Chaos Divine Pagoda.

After the sword light pierced through his body, over ten cycles later, the majestic aura emanating from the true form of the Chaos Magic Ape had clearly weakened somewhat.

This Chaos Magic God had already been suppressed into an absolute disadvantage.

The Chaos Magic Ape grew increasingly shocked as the battle continued.

He, who possessed the Chaos Divine Pagoda, was actually suppressed to this extent.

This Chaos Divine Pagoda is no ordinary supreme treasure.

If he were bare-handed and empty-fisted, he would likely be slain in true form after just a few exchanges.

This only made the Chaos Magic Ape more furious in his heart.

He considered himself already close to the Primordial Realm, needing only one opportunity to take that step.

Yet at this moment, he actually suffered such a setback.

He wanted to continue fighting, but he knew that if he persisted, his hope of defeating his opponent would be slim.

A flicker of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but in that instant, his true form shrank, his body transforming into a stream of light that vanished into the Chaos Divine Pagoda.

The Chaos Divine Pagoda expanded, suddenly breaking through layer upon layer of the vast Heavenly Emperor's sword qi, and in an instant, it shot rapidly in one direction.

He actually fled directly!

The Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Sovereign, watched this scene, his eyes slightly furrowed, yet he did not pursue.

He had wanted to slay his opponent and seize that chaotic heavy treasure, whose power was not inferior to that of an innate supreme treasure.

But being within the ocean of chaotic origin, even he had no confidence in catching up.

Because the Dao fruit comprehended by this Chaos Magic God was actually directly related to the rules and principles of the Chaos Origin Great Dao.

In the depths of the Chaos Origin Ocean, the opponent was like a fish in water, making him difficult to hunt down.

Unless someone restrained this Chaos Magic Ape, creating an opportunity for him, a chaotic primordial spirit capable of slaying the Chaos Magic God, otherwise it would be impossible to destroy him.

If pushed to the brink, the opponent could still completely turn toward the Spirit Void Mother Goddess.

That would be unnecessary!

The Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Sovereign, glanced downward at the already crushed Chaos Origin Spirit Lake, and in a single step arrived before the assembly of gods.

The gods hurriedly performed their salutations.

The Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Sovereign, waved his hand and said.

"Come, follow me back to the Heavenly Court!"

The gods nodded.

In the distance, Zhang Jian's expression twitched slightly, and the voice of the Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Sovereign, also appeared in his ears.

"You too, follow me back to the myriad heavens and worlds—Qingxia has encountered trouble and needs you to make a trip!"
