Chapter 443

"Hummm…"

At a certain moment, when all the merit divine flames merged into the Chaos Pearl, this primordial treasure emitted a clear ringing sound.

Immediately, the ringing grew louder, and all beings of the Primordial World heard this sound beside their ears.

"Boom—"

The Great Dao furnace instantly shattered, and countless Great Dao runes emerged from within the Chaos Pearl.

These Great Dao runes rotated with an extraordinarily mysterious force.

One after another worlds continuously perished and were born within these Great Dao runes.

Streams of chaotic energy spilled down from the Chaos Pearl, carrying an supreme and unrivaled aura.

Even so.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao's Lei Jie, which had been about to descend in punishment, paused for a moment.

This was the power of a primordial treasure.

Recall that Pangu had used the Pangu Axe to carve open the Primordial World.

Pangu had also used the Pangu Axe to slay three thousand demonic gods.

And Ancestor Hongjun, merely by relying on the shattered Creation Jade Tablet, had cultivated the Dao to become Hunyuan, and even deduced the method of merging with the Dao.

From this alone, the might of primordial treasures is evident.

In the past, the Primordial World had never possessed a complete primordial treasure.

Or rather.

Though the Primordial World's origin might give birth to many spiritual treasures, such an entity as a primordial treasure was beyond the Primordial World's capacity to nurture.

Within Mount Kunlun.

Laozi's eyes widened in shock. "As I thought—it's the primordial treasure, the Chaos Pearl! Luo Fu has actually restored the Chaos Pearl!"

Master Yuanshi Tianzun was also stunned. "I had merely assumed Luo Fu was forging some top-tier spiritual treasure, but I never imagined it was the Chaos Pearl—and from the power fluctuations emanating from it, this isn't a fragmented primordial treasure; it's a fully intact primordial treasure!"

That's right.

From the power fluctuations radiating from the Chaos Pearl, this was no mere top-tier spiritual treasure—it was a true, complete primordial treasure.

Although Master Yuanshi Tianzun himself did not possess a primordial treasure.

He did possess the Primordial Treasure, the Pangu Banner, which had been forged from the shattered Pangu Axe.

Yet the power fluctuations of Luo Fu's Chaos Pearl were clearly far superior to his Pangu Banner.

Moreover, this superiority was not slight—it was an immense gap.

It was just like before, when Luo Fu merged the three Primordial Treasures and restored the Pangu Axe—the same sensation Master Yuanshi Tianzun had felt.

"To forge a true, complete primordial treasure… my nephew Luo Fu's art of forging surpasses me," Master Yuanshi Tianzun finally sighed.

At this moment, this famed Master Yuanshi Tianzun admitted he was inferior to Luo Fu in the art of forging.

Remember, among the Saints, Master Yuanshi Tianzun was the most proud, even the most vain.

Yet now, Master Yuanshi Tianzun had set aside his pride to admit a statement that was almost humiliating.

This alone showed the profound shock Luo Fu's forging of the Chaos Pearl had inflicted upon Master Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Master Yuanshi, you need not feel ashamed," Saint Tongtian Jiaozhu smiled beside him. "Remember, in the art of arrays, Luo Fu likely surpassed me long ago."

"Master Laozi, did Luo Fu use the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl and your Taiqing Treasure Pearl to forge the Chaos Pearl?" Saint Tongtian Jiaozhu then asked his elder brother.

"Correct," Laozi's eyes gleamed. "I had merely given the Taiqing Treasure Pearl to Luo Fu as an afterthought, just as you gave him the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl—but I never imagined he would forge a primordial treasure."

"We all knew the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl and Taiqing Treasure Pearl might be fragments of the legendary Chaos Pearl, yet fusing them together was nearly impossible."

"Indeed," Master Yuanshi Tianzun sighed. "The Pangu Axe shattered into three Primordial Treasures—the Taiji Map, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell—but the Chaos Pearl shattered into countless fragments. Neither the Taiqing Treasure Pearl nor the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl came close to the Taiji Map or Pangu Banner in power."

"That means these two pearls were merely a tiny fraction of the Chaos Pearl, yet Luo Fu has refined them to this extent."

"Haha, Master Yuanshi, you should be proud—Luo Fu is also your half-disciple," Saint Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed.

"True," Master Yuanshi Tianzun also smiled. "We've all watched Luo Fu reach this point."

"Hmm…"

Suddenly, Laozi's gaze shifted slightly, his eyes darkening with ill intent.

Master Yuanshi Tianzun and Saint Tongtian Jiaozhu's expressions quickly changed to match Laozi's.

"Master Laozi, what are the Western Two Saints preparing to do?" Master Yuanshi Tianzun said grimly.

For Master Yuanshi Tianzun had noticed the Western Two Saints leaving Mount Sumeru, heading toward the Blood Sea of the Netherworld.

Without doubt.

They were heading toward Luo Fu.

"No matter what they intend, we'll go and see for ourselves," Laozi murmured.

Luo Fu faced the Heavenly Dao's backlash; we cannot intervene.

But if the Western Two Saints target Luo Fu, the Three Pure Ones will make them understand what a true Heavenly Dao Saint truly is.

Mount Sumeru.

After Luo Fu successfully forged the complete primordial treasure, the Chaos Pearl, Saint Zhunti stared in shock at the Blood Sea of the Netherworld.

"Brother, Luo Fu has forged a primordial treasure."

"Correct—it is indeed a primordial treasure," Saint Jieyin's eyes also held a trace of shock.

A primordial treasure—truly a legendary artifact.

Not even we, the Heavenly Dao Saints, let alone our teacher Ancestor Hongjun, possessed such a treasure.

"Brother, since Luo Fu has now established the Six Realms of Rebirth, shouldn't we go to offer our congratulations?" Saint Zhunti suddenly said.

"Naturally," Saint Jieyin smiled.

At this moment, the Western Two Saints no longer spoke of whether Luo Fu could survive the Heavenly Dao's backlash.

To these two sages,

Regardless of whether Luo Fu can survive, they both wish to intervene in this Sixth Cycle of Rebirth.

The place of the Sixth Cycle of Rebirth.

It could become a place of endless merit acquisition.

This point, according to the original history, though Sister Houtu established the Sixth Cycle of Rebirth,

Yet both the Three Pure Ones and the Two Western Sages had disciples involved within it.

The most renowned among the Two Western Sages is Dizang.

"If the hells are not emptied, I vow not to attain Buddhahood."

Continuously liberating evil ghosts and wronged souls granted Fomen an endless stream of merit and fortune.

Even during the Xiyou Cataclysm, Buddha Dizang still presided over the Underworld.

Over such an immense span of time, the merit and fortune Fomen acquired was, in some sense, astronomical.

Likewise, disciples of the Three Pure Ones also intervened in the Underworld and acquired a certain amount of merit.

The historical Sister Houtu,

Faced with the descent of several sages, had absolutely no recourse.

Thus, she could only yield, granting part of the Underworld's authority to the other sages.

Of course, now the Underworld has become a place established by Luo Fu.

At least the Heavenly Dao sages like the Three Pure Ones could not interfere in an Underworld established by their own disciples.

But the Two Western Sages likely already had such intentions.

Within Ji Tian,

The Purple Cloud Palace hovers here, untouched by even the most violent energies.

Within the palace, in the once-vacant Dao hall, the figure of Ancestor Hongjun slowly reappeared.

Know that when Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, he spent most of his time fused with it, rarely appearing in the Dao hall.

But today, he appeared again.

"The Chaos Primordial Treasure, Chaos Pearl?" Ancestor Hongjun's eyes glimmered slightly.

That was a treasure he himself did not possess.

Yet for Ancestor Hongjun, now in his state of merging with the Heavenly Dao, even the Chaos Pearl held little use.

Because he had no need for it.

"Luo Fu, the one who transcends fate," Ancestor Hongjun murmured, "I await your arrival in the Purple Cloud Palace."

At this moment, Ancestor Hongjun showed not the slightest concern over whether Luo Fu could survive the Heavenly Dao's backlash.
