Chapter 68

Chaos.

Purple Cloud Palace.

"Interesting!"

"Indeed, it's the one that escaped!"

"The refined elixir actually enables one to comprehend the Great Dao's laws!"

"This world has finally welcomed true vitality!"

"."

Hongjun sat on the futon, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The Era of Chaos!

Three thousand Chaos Demon Gods arose in response to fate!

Each Chaos Demon God corresponds to a Great Dao law; if they grow smoothly, they can enter the Primordial Luo Golden Immortal realm!

However! As Pangu split heaven and earth, most of the Chaos Demon Gods fell in the Heaven‑Opening Tribulation!

Those Chaos Gods and Demons who luckily escaped with their lives are also in a crippled state! For example, Yang Mei, Luo Hou, Hongjun. Correct!

Hongjun's previous incarnation was also one of the Chaos Demon Gods!

But he was comparatively cunning!

He immediately clung to the Heavenly Dao's thigh!

And those Chaos Demon Gods who wanted to cause trouble naturally became thorns in the Heavenly Dao's side!

Under the scheming of Heavenly Dao and Hongjun!

Those Chaos Demon Gods either died or hid within Chaos!

By the present day!

In the vast Three Realms, no trace of the Chaos Demon Gods can be seen! And after clearing out the Chaos Demon Gods!

Heavenly Dao and Hongjun thought the Primordial World could reach its peak! However! An unexpected situation arose!

The Primordial World was born trampling on the corpses of the Chaos Demon Gods!

And the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods inherently correspond to a Great Dao law! Perhaps they cursed the Primordial World before their fall! The three thousand Great Dao laws seem to have abandoned the Primordial World! The Golden Immortals born in the Primordial World find it hard to comprehend the Great Dao laws! This discovery left Heavenly Dao and Hongjun shocked and horrified!

The reason is simple! A world's strength depends on the strong within it! If the beings of the Primordial World can never comprehend the Great Dao laws and remain at the Golden Immortal level, then as time passes the Primordial World will continually weaken! This is unacceptable to both Heavenly Dao and Hongjun! For Heavenly Dao, it is the administrator of the Primordial World! Its mission upon birth is to maintain the Primordial World's operation and make it stronger!

As for Hongjun, he craves to become stronger!

If the Primordial World keeps declining, how could he possibly continue to grow stronger?

To solve this problem!

Heavenly Dao and Hongjun have tried every means!

Finally! They created the Method of Proving the Dao by Severing the Three Corpses!

Each Innate Spiritual Treasure contains a portion of the Great Dao's power!

The higher the grade of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the stronger the Great Dao power it contains! The so‑called Method of Proving the Dao by Severing the Three Corpses consists of, while severing corpses, drawing on the law power contained in the Innate Spiritual Treasure! When a peak Golden Immortal expert grasps a portion of that law power!

Their cultivation bottleneck naturally disappears!

However! The borrowed law power is not their own strength! Practitioners of this special realm cannot be considered true Primordial Golden Immortals!

Therefore, Heavenly Dao and Hongjun termed this special realm the Quasi‑Sage! From then on!

The emergence of the Quasi‑Sage realm filled the gap left by the Primordial Golden Immortal!

However!

The Primordial World is the Great Thousand World evolved from Pangu's transformation of all things! This gives the Primordial World an upper limit capable of accommodating a being like Pangu! Relying solely on Quasi‑Sage cultivators cannot sustain the Primordial World at its peak! Left with no choice!

Heavenly Dao and Hongjun then created the Saint realm! The so‑called Saint corresponds to a Primordial Luo Golden Immortal! And the key to forging a Saint is the Hongmeng Purple Qi! The so‑called Hongmeng Purple Qi is the primordial power of Heavenly Dao!

The primordial power of Heavenly Dao is of utmost importance to the Primordial World!

However, to maintain the Primordial World's upper limit!

The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World still divided a portion of its primordial power, creating nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi! In Heavenly Dao's view! Only need to create nine Saints comparable to Primordial Luo Golden Immortals! Then the Primordial World could remain at its peak! Heavenly Dao miscalculated! Or rather!

Heavenly Dao trusted Hongjun too much! After receiving the nine strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi transformed from Heavenly Dao's primordial power, Hongjun first refined one strand, becoming the Primordial World's first Saint! Afterwards!

Hongjun, following Heavenly Dao's orders, spread the Method of Proving the Dao by Severing the Three Corpses within the Purple Cloud Palace!

But he did not fully obey Heavenly Dao's command to send out all the remaining Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand! He only sent out seven strands! Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nüwa, Zhunti, Jieyin, Hongyun! The remaining strand, Hongjun tossed onto the Primordial Earth, saying it would go to the fated one! As for this!

Heavenly Dao also said nothing more! After all, it didn't care who became its Saint! Moreover! At that time, Heavenly Dao, having split its primordial power, had already fallen into weakness! To restore its power, Heavenly Dao, after instructing Hongjun, fell into sleep! Who would have thought! As soon as Heavenly Dao fell asleep!

Hongjun then reclaimed the Hongmeng Purple Qi scattered on the Primordial Earth, refined it! And!

He also schemed against Hongyun, causing her soul to fly apart and scatter!

And the Hongmeng Purple Qi within Hongyun's body naturally fell into Hongjun's hands!

After refining three strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi!

Hongjun completely turned against the weakened Heavenly Dao!

He intended to refine Heavenly Dao and become the sole ruler of the Primordial World! But Heavenly Dao would not simply surrender!

Thus! The struggle between Heavenly Dao and Hongjun began!

Until the Apotheosis Calamity erupted!

The Primordial Earth shattered, forming the present four great continents!

Once mighty, the Primordial World has now declined to a terrifying degree!

Now! Both Heavenly Dao and Hongjun are afraid!

If the Primordial World were to perish!

They could not escape the fate of falling!

For the sake of their own lives! They could only temporarily cease hostilities and seek a way to restore the Primordial World!

Unfortunately!

Whether it's the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun! Faced with the continually weakening primordial world, they are utterly helpless!

They could only confine all the Heavenly Dao sages within Chaos, preventing them from further destroying the primordial world! Indeed!

Their actions slowed the primordial world's march toward destruction!

However, there was not the slightest sign of reversal in the primordial world's decline! Until Ye Yang's appearance! In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, Ye Yang is the One Who Escaped!

They could only entrust the heavy responsibility of saving the primordial world to Ye Yang! Originally!

Hongjun's heart was still filled with apprehension! Because Ye Yang's strength was too weak!

But now!

Hongjun's heart, however, was filled with anticipation! Because the Dao-Comprehension Pill refined by Ye Yang seemed to break the curse of the Chaos Demon God! Something even he and the Heavenly Dao could not accomplish!

Yet Ye Yang did it!

This is enough to prove Ye Yang's uniqueness!

「The One Who Escaped! 」

「Don't let this seat down! 」
