Open that door and draw the seawater in. I don’t believe it can evaporate an entire ocean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon and Seven-Face both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was indeed a sound plan. Water counters fire, and the North Sea was vast beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll open the gate. You two hold it off,” Paimon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had entered, the great door had only been opened a crack. Now, with flames blocking the way, the sea beyond could not flow in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon took a step forward, demonic energy surging from his hands as he gripped the two doors and tried to pull them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consciousness seemed to sense what he was doing and charged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven-Lotus Seal!” Seven-Face shouted, stepping between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lotus in his hand bloomed, releasing a vast sigil that encircled the consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed hundreds of hand seals in the blink of an eye, each merging into the lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can trap it for a moment,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hands again, his own divine aura flaring as his True Fate manifested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a demonic lotus, each of its seven petals representing a different meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it,” he cursed, “this world is suppressing every Primal Dao. We’re being restricted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s using the power of Primordial Edicts,” Paimon grunted, still forcing the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Ancient Gods must have all been beings of the Infinite Dao Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the pressure of Primordial Edicts, even Saint Sovereigns were bound, unable to use their full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Edicts were the greatest power in existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without them, there could be no order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a single city to the entire world, rules and edicts governed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great and small, visible and unseen, they hung over all creation like invisible blades, ensuring the world’s balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without edicts, humanity’s ugliness would overflow, and the world would decay into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the Heavenly Dao’s edicts reigned over all life. No matter the Nomological Truth or Primal Dao, all must bow before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them had ever seen a true Ancient God before, but they could imagine the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this fragment of consciousness was enough to make them tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demonic Lotus Blooms, Devours All Laws!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven-Face fused himself with the lotus, forcing his way through the suppression of the world’s rules, imprisoning the consciousness once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo prepared to summon his God World, but Paimon stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, your True Fate is your foundation.

They needed overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Thousand Demon Slaughter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon’s spirit-body roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderclap tore through the void as his hands reached for sun, moon, and stars. Dark clouds of demonic energy covered the heavens, and his spirit merged within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm of black clouds seemed to awaken, three thousand shards of consciousness formed within, descending like meteors of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one crashed down upon the Ancient God’s consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meteors tore through its body, yet it would not die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It roared in rage, channeling the fire to shatter the lotus seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon’s spirit fell from the sky, pressing both hands upon the lotus and pouring in torrents of demonic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Demon Shakya Purgatory!” he bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirit pulsed with demonic energy, rising endlessly into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, a reflection of hell itself took shape, ghostly soldiers marching, rivers of blood, the cries of the damned echoing across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a realm of agony and madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The infernal illusion wrapped itself around the demonic lotus, forming an isolated domain of torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gate, Paimon’s physical body continued its work. The massive door was now more than halfway open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ancient God’s consciousness, enraged, began to resist even more violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within, it hammered against the hellish prison and lotus alike, while from without, flames surged to consume everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo raised Shadow Tyrant, eyes narrowing as the Primordial Chaos Bead flew out from his True Fate God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primordial Chaos was the origin of heaven and earth, the purest, most primal force of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Xu Zimo’s control, the bead drifted toward the consciousness, absorbing streams of his energy as it went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bead pierced through all illusory flames, releasing waves of raw chaotic mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imprison,” Xu Zimo commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Chaos Bead unleashed a ray of ancient brilliance, freezing everything, space, time, even the Primordial Edicts themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the bead’s power, the greater the strain on Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consciousness had already broken free from the lotus and shattered the Demon Shakya Purgatory, yet before chaos itself, it faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remnant was locked in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, the great door connecting to the North Sea was completely opened by Paimon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, stop! You can’t take much more!” Paimon shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Draw the North Sea inside! Don’t worry about me,” Xu Zimo said through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spirit energy was nearly depleted. The Primordial Chaos Bead drained him like a bottomless abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood boiled in reverse; veins bulged, and his skin flushed crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon stepped out of the inferno and into the North Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his arms, he stirred the world itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Storms raged, and waves towered to the heavens as he summoned the sea’s vast might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless waters roared toward the realm of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tidal waves poured in, clashing against the inferno in a cataclysm of steam and flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paimon gave a cold snort, lifting his hands higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire North Sea responded, an infinite ocean surrounding the fiery world completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s eyes gleamed with determination. The Primordial Chaos Bead’s suppression intensified further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not allow the consciousness to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it left the North Sea, none of them would be able to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had not felt such exhaustion in a long time, his power drained, his body screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, stop!” Seven-Face urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I once heard of the previous Infernal Lord,” Xu Zimo said, smiling faintly, “how he sent his people away and faced the entire world alone. I am not him, but I have my own resolve. If I can’t endure even this much hardship, how can I ever stand against the Heavenly Dao itself in the future? Draw the North Sea.
