Chapter 18: Heart Blood, Spinal Marrow, Creation Disk, Chaos Bead!

The scene of destruction outside did not affect Diti's pace of exploration.

He did not let his guard down just because he had entered the array, thinking that the road ahead would be smooth.

The biggest taboo in doing things is celebrating halfway through.

The closer one is to the final step, the more cautious one must be!

All protective treasures were fully activated, and the Golden Wheel of Merit shone brightly to illuminate the dim cave, ensuring that he could discover danger in time.

"Why does it feel a bit wrong..."

After being fully alert and going deep into the cave tunnel for thousands of miles, walking slowly for several months, Diti gradually noticed some abnormalities.

As the hiding place of the Thirty-Six-Rank Creation Green Lotus, the symbol of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Creation,

not to mention being filled with Creation Qi, vibrant with life, and pleasant to smell, shouldn't there at least be some flowers and spiritual roots?

But on the way he came, not only did he not see any signs of life, but it was terrifyingly quiet, and all he saw were gray-white rock walls.

And if it were just that, it would be fine.

As he went deeper, he even faintly smelled a highly seductive bloody scent!

It made the blood in his body boil uncontrollably, as if a fledgling bird returning to its nest, wanting to break free...

"Wait, a fledgling bird returning to its nest?!"

As Diti was thinking, the moment this phrase appeared, his mind seemed to explode, and he instantly thought of a possibility.

That is, the end of this cave is not some Creation Green Lotus, but the essence blood or spinal marrow left behind after the Father God fell!

"No wonder I could always faintly smell a bloody scent along the way."

Realizing this, Diti was overjoyed.

Compared to heaven-defying treasures, he still preferred his own strength!

And as the head of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods and the uncrowned king of the Great Dao of Strength,

the essence blood, spinal marrow, or other physical essences left behind by the Father God were supreme treasures sufficient for him to take several steps forward or even complete a leap!

"This is truly a windfall from heaven!"

With surging emotions, Diti secretly quickened his pace while continuing to move forward cautiously.

Ten days later, light suddenly appeared, and the world he saw suddenly opened up!

In a vast and boundless karst cave, billions of stars reflected the heavens, thousands of stalactites hung upside down, and two thousand-foot rock pillars connected heaven and earth!

The extreme temptation rushed toward him, and with his bloodline surging crazily,

Diti's pupils could not help but be rendered with three parts fanaticism and excitement.

Unable to suppress the palpitation in his heart any longer, he flew to the center of the karst cave, onto the thousand-foot rock pillar that was most attractive to him.

And the moment he landed on the rock pillar, Diti's face was instantly filled with endless excitement and ecstasy!

Inside a hundred-foot-deep groove in the center of the rock pillar, there was Pangu Jade Marrow, flowing white as jade, thick as paste, as if the might of the Demon God was branded within, and all spirits and people who saw it would need to bow down and submit!

Suspended above it was a drop of Pangu's heart essence blood, crystal clear and ancient in divine might, as if the three thousand Great Daos were hidden within!

"To have both, this is truly a great stroke of luck!"

As the most essential part of the Father God's physical body, there is no need to say much about the heart essence blood.

With the Great Dao of Strength hidden within, obtaining it is almost equivalent to having an admission ticket to reach the Primordial Great Luo.

As long as one practices step by step and does not die halfway, one will surely be able to enter the Primordial Great Luo realm through the Great Dao of Strength!

And as the source of the Father God's physical strength, the essence of bones, and the beginning of blood!

The profoundness of Pangu Jade Marrow for physical improvement is a hundred times better than heart essence blood!

It is the key for innate sacred beings like them to reverse their origin to Chaos, and it is also a stepping stone to attain the Primordial Great Luo through the physical body.

Even for the Twelve Ancestral Witches of later generations, as long as they have Pangu Jade Marrow in hand,

even without a primordial spirit to control the laws and attain enlightenment of the profoundness of Primordial Unification, they can still break their own flaws and achieve Primordial Great Luo with their physical bodies!

"This rock pillar has such heaven-defying divine objects, so what kind of heaven-defying existence should be placed on the other rock pillar?"

The moment this thought popped up, Diti could no longer suppress his inner impulse and went straight toward the remaining rock pillar.

"Could what is stored here actually be the Chaos Bead?"

The moment he landed on the rock pillar, a round bead of chaotic color, containing all phenomena of the heavens and endless time and space, first caught Diti's eyes.

Having the Father God's inherited memories, he easily recognized that this object was one of the five great Chaos Treasures, the Chaos Bead!

It is a supreme treasure formed from the origin of Grand Beginning, containing five complete and flawless supreme Great Daos: the Great Dao of Time, the Great Dao of Space, the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Universe, and the Great Dao of Chaos!

It is ranked alongside the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, the Earth-Splitting Chisel, the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Creation Jade Disk as the five great Chaos Treasures!

And the most heaven-defying ability of the Chaos Bead is not that it can shield heavenly secrets, swallow all things, and cut off the causality of the inner and outer worlds.

It is that it contains a world of time and space that is no different from the Chaos Void, except for its size!

This means that one can replicate the Father God's feat of opening heaven and earth within it!

Although, hindered by the fact that the world within the Chaos Bead is not a Chaos World permitted by the Great Dao,

its world status is slightly lower than the external Chaos Void.

But if one completes the feat of opening heaven and earth within it, one can still ascend to the sky in one step and instantly enter the realm of the Half-Step Great Dao!

Of course, the premise is to be able to complete the opening of heaven and earth without dying halfway.

And to complete this premise, not only must one's cultivation be at least Primordial Great Luo, but one must also master the three thousand Great Daos!

Otherwise, it is seeking one's own death!!

"In the past, when the Father God opened the heavens, the Chaos Bead separated from his body on its own to avoid the Great Calamity of Heaven-Opening and hid in the Chaos Void, its whereabouts unknown."

"I never expected it to fall here!"

Just as Diti was ecstatic in his heart, a piece that looked very inconspicuous,

but upon closer inspection, seemed to have infinite laws hidden within, with profound Dao rhymes, a broken jade piece suddenly attracted his attention.

"Could this be a fragment of the Creation Jade Disk?"

The moment the thought arose, Diti immediately prepared to cover it with his divine sense, wanting to investigate.

And the fragment seemed to have sensed it, before he could make a move.

It suddenly bloomed with profound Dao rhymes, and endless Great Daos manifested in the heavens, as if declaring its identity.

"It really is a fragment of the Creation Jade Disk, this is truly four joys coming at once!"

"I am worthy of being the undisputed son of heaven and earth, the true eldest son of the Father God's bloodline!"

Diti really did not expect that the harvest this time would be so heaven-defying.

He immediately put both into his palm world before turning back to the rock pillar where the Pangu Jade Marrow and heart essence blood were stored.

However, just as he was about to collect both, he discovered that he could only collect the Pangu Jade Marrow.

Because the heart essence blood contained the Great Dao of Strength, no matter what method he used to collect it, it was of no avail, and he could not shake it at all.

"It seems I can only absorb it on the spot."

After several attempts, Diti could only choose not to struggle anymore, using the half of the Taiyin authority he controlled to inform Wang Shu that he was delayed by an opportunity and his return time was uncertain.

He then directly held the heart essence blood in both hands, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to refine it.

And this sitting lasted for a full two epochs!

During this long period of time,

Diti's physical cultivation had already reached the completion of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, just a thread away from entering the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

The laws he practiced had all reached over sixty percent.

And the moment the heart essence blood was refined into his body, he instantly understood the profoundness of the Law of Strength.

Making it a latecomer that surpassed the others, in just a thousand years, it caught up with the other laws, reaching sixty-five percent comprehension!

And this was not his biggest harvest.

What he did not expect was that within this drop of heart essence blood, in addition to the inheritance of the Great Dao of Strength,

it actually contained several types!

Powers that point directly to the origin of heaven and earth!!
