Chapter 210: Xuanming in Control of a Chaos Treasure?

Watching the treasure gradually disappear, Zhunti felt as if his heart were burning; gritting his teeth, he dashed toward the front of the millstone.

Jieyin, equally panicked, saw this and hurriedly exclaimed, "Junior Brother! You must not!"

In just this short moment, half of the World-Destroying Mill had already vanished; how could Zhunti care about so much?

The World-Destroying Mill had been hidden beneath Mount Sumeru for so long without them discovering it; if it escaped like this, there would be no chance in the future.

More importantly, the World-Destroying Mill contained one of the Five Supreme Laws.

Its appearance signified the arrival of the Immeasurable Great Calamity, allowing Zhunti not a shred of hesitation.

If he could manage to seize this treasure, strengthening the Western Sect and resolving the karma of Purple Heaven Palace would be trivial matters.

This Chaos Treasure represented far more than just simple strength.

With a surge of glowing light, Zhunti's figure appeared before the World-Destroying Mill in an instant, but before he could make a move, a scream exploded in the void.

"Ah!"

The sound shook the surroundings, and with a "Boom—", the physical body of Zhunti, at the Heavenly Dao Saint stage, shattered.

The World-Destroying Mill, its momentum undiminished, continued to grind toward the void at a leisurely pace.

Amidst the churning Chaos, a Primordial Spirit fled in a panic, transforming into a figure in the distance; it was none other than the Zhunti Daoist who had just rushed forward.

At this moment, his Primordial Spirit was unsteady, his manifested face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with terror.

The Chaos Treasure, the World-Destroying Mill, had not only crushed his physical body but also severely damaged his Primordial Spirit.

"Junior Brother, how are you?" Jieyin flew forward, carefully looking him up and down.

Since their transformation, they had cultivated the Dao together and traveled the Primordial World together; now, having founded the Western Sect together, their relationship went without saying.

Seeing his companion injured, how could Jieyin not be worried? Yet, what followed was even greater fear.

In the blink of an eye, the Saint Body they took such pride in had shattered before the Chaos Treasure.

Zhunti shook his head lightly and said nothing, only staring with lingering fear at the still-rolling millstone.

In the distance, Nuwa and Hongyun, who had the same idea, immediately stopped in mid-air, both staring in horror at the Chaos Treasure moving quietly forward.

Although they looked down on Heavenly Dao Saints, both were somewhat clear on the means of a Saint.

The aura merely leaking from the Chaos Treasure was enough to crush Zhunti's physical body.

At this moment, they had a slightly more direct understanding of the legendary three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.

Compared to the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, the difference was far more than a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Hongyun glanced at the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud on his body and asked in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, what should we do now?"

Originally, he had wanted to rely on the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud, but having seen Zhunti's outcome, he dared not try it rashly.

If the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud were damaged, it would break his heart.

"Try it carefully!" Nuwa said with a grim face, her peripheral vision involuntarily drifting toward the Primordial Starry Sky.

Although not much time had passed since they appeared, there was no reason for Tian Yuan not to have sensed the aura of the Chaos Treasure, yet he had not appeared.

Tian Yuan was also a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet Nuwa had inexplicable confidence in him.

While thinking this, Nuwa's movements were not slow; thick laws emerged from her palm and wrapped toward the rotating millstone not far away.

Beside her, rich laws also surged from Hongyun's body, rolling toward the front of the World-Destroying Mill.

The expectant gazes of Nuwa and Hongyun dimmed instantly.

As the World-Destroying Mill ground past, their combined attack was instantly crushed to pieces, even turning into Chaos Energy that circled around the millstone.

Their means of attack had actually been absorbed by the Chaos Treasure itself.

Jieyin and Zhunti, watching from afar, were suddenly both happy and worried.

The joy was that Nuwa and the other could not take the World-Destroying Mill either; the worry, naturally, was that if even these two were helpless, they, as brothers, had even less hope.

Only when thinking of Xuanming did a strange look flash across their eyes.

They were all having trouble getting close to the World-Destroying Mill; why was it that Xuanming could lie prone upon it?

But in this short time, they had carefully observed every side of the World-Destroying Mill and still did not see Xuanming's figure, which left them very puzzled.

"I fear it is difficult!" After a rough attempt, Nuwa already knew the result.

No one could take this Chaos Treasure; even if Tian Yuan were here, he would likely be unable to act.

She and Hongyun were genuine Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, yet they had no power to resist this Chaos Treasure.

Tian Yuan was certainly much stronger, but he absolutely could not bridge the gap between them and the World-Destroying Mill.

The World-Destroying Mill was born in response to the Immeasurable Great Calamity and should not be wielded by an ordinary person; just as she thought this, Nuwa's gaze swept toward Jieyin and Zhunti in the distance.

From the scene just now, it was clear that the Western Two Sages had long known about the World-Destroying Mill.

The aftermath of the battle between the two earlier might also have been related to this.

But after entering this space, her Divine Sense had quickly probed the surroundings.

In this sky full of blood mist, apart from Jieyin and Zhunti, there was only this slowly rolling World-Destroying Millstone; there were no other living beings at all. Who had the Western Two Sages been fighting earlier?

Hearing Nuwa's words, Hongyun looked regretful: "A Chaos Treasure, are we just going to watch it slip away?"

Whether by relying on the All-Heaven Celebration Cloud on his body or the few probing clashes just now, Hongyun deeply understood that he could not shake this Chaos Treasure.

This was a legendary treasure; the entire Primordial World did not possess a single one.

In the time it took to speak, half of the World-Destroying Mill had already hidden into the void and was no longer visible.

Nuwa also looked helpless, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly said, "Shall we try with our will?"

The moment she saw the World-Destroying Mill, Nuwa understood that this object came from the internal space of Mount Sumeru.

That space required will to open; if they probed with their will, there might be an unexpected harvest.

Hongyun was startled, and seeing a faint Humanity Will emerge from Nuwa, he also waved his hand.

Nuwa created the Human Race and became a Humanity Saint, but Hongyun was different; born in Fire Cloud Cave, he was the true Humanity Lord.

What is Humanity? All things in the Primordial World fall under the coordination of Humanity, including the Human Race, which had not yet become the protagonists of the world.

The Humanity Will gathered on Hongyun was far more profound than that of Nuwa.

Two energy currents, one large and one small, surged forth, rapidly wrapping toward the World-Destroying Mill in the distance.

To their surprise, the pressure emanating from the World-Destroying Mill did not crush the wills extended by the two.

At this moment, Nuwa also understood somewhat why Jieyin and Zhunti had been able to get closer to the World-Destroying Mill than them earlier; it must have been due to the Heavenly Dao Will.

Yet, before the two could rejoice, they felt a thick barrier blocking their wills.

In the distance, the Western Two Sages, who were shocked by the density of Hongyun's Humanity Will, also had a flash of disappointment in their eyes.

Having luckily managed to enter that space, how could they not have attempted to use the Heavenly Dao Will? Unfortunately, the effect was not obvious, and now, it was useless for Hongyun and Nuwa as well.

"Alas! This treasure is not meant for us!" Hongyun withdrew his will.

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than he widened his eyes and looked into the distance. In the crack between the remaining half of the millstone, a pair of pitch-black eyes could be seen, staring back.

However, after just one glance, those eyes vanished.

Hongyun looked again, but there was only Chaos churning there; the scene inside could no longer be seen.

"Fellow Daoist! Just now?" Hongyun turned and looked at Nuwa beside him.

There was actually a living being inside that World-Destroying Mill; could it already be an item with an owner?

But if it had an owner, why not appear, and instead let them exert their methods? At this very moment, ten thousand questions filled Hongyun's mind.

That was a Chaos Treasure; even they, as Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, were helpless against it. Who else could have such means? Nuwa did not speak, only nodding slightly.

She had been standing in the same position as Hongyun, and her attention had also been fixed on the World-Destroying Mill, so she naturally saw it too.

This unexpected discovery also raised a myriad of doubts in her heart.

Watching the World-Destroying Mill disappear completely into the void, Nuwa and Hongyun turned their heads to look at Jieyin and Zhunti.

Perhaps they could learn something from the two.

Jieyin and Zhunti, who were currently feeling both angry and regretful, felt the burning gazes upon them, and their faces twitched slightly.

It was all because of that detestable Gonggong; if not for that fellow, how could he have drawn these two here?

Perhaps they could have focused on their research and still had a sliver of a chance to obtain this Chaos Treasure.

Although they were extremely angry inside, Zhunti was now injured, and the two dared not show it.

Nuwa alone was enough to give them trouble, not to mention there was a Hongyun on the side.

"What exactly is going on with that World-Destroying Mill?" Nuwa took a step, her figure already before them.

Hongyun, remaining where he was, did not move; a dense Humanity Will extended from his body, rippling toward the surrounding space.

Nuwa watched Hongyun's actions, and Jieyin and Zhunti in the field also took note.

But upon seeing the situation all around, both were slightly startled, and a will immediately surged from Jieyin.

Feeling the calm void around them, Jieyin's face went blank, and then he sighed heavily.

It had vanished; that space inside Mount Sumeru had vanished, and the great fortune of their Western Sect was gone.

Because of the departure of the World-Destroying Mill, the space inside Mount Sumeru had also disappeared.

When they had entered earlier, besides the Chaos Treasure World-Destroying Mill, there should have been other opportunities, but now they were all gone.

This was originally a predestined opportunity belonging to the two brothers, yet it had been ruined by the two people before them.

Beside him, Zhunti, who was left with only his Primordial Spirit body, also said angrily, "Senior Sister Nuwa! This is our Daoist temple; aren't you being too overbearing?"

Having lost the treasure and had his Saint Body shattered, Zhunti was filled with resentment.

Jieyin did not speak, but also glared at them.

The Western Region was barren, and they had been plundering Spiritual Roots everywhere in an attempt to improve the Western Spiritual Veins. They had not expected there to be a massive treasure in Mount Sumeru, only to miss it like this; how could they not be unwilling?

Nuwa glanced at the two slightly and spoke leisurely: "This space has an affinity with me; otherwise, how would I have found it?"

As she spoke, profound laws surged from Nuwa, shrouding the surrounding space.

Although she also felt some regret, Nuwa was now even more curious about who exactly was inside the World-Destroying Mill.

After exerting her will and witnessing the power of the Chaos Treasure, Nuwa was even more convinced that the Primordial World was not simple.

The Primordial World opened up by the Pangu Great God must have an even more mysterious side.

Hongyun, having failed to detect anything from behind, leaped over, looked Jieyin and Zhunti up and down, and said, "The karma from Purple Heaven Palace has yet to be settled; do you want us to take action?"

Having learned his identity and understood the Primordial World, Hongyun was long since no longer the Hongyun of the past.

Benefiting the Primordial Heaven and Earth and strengthening this world was what he ought to do.

The Western Earth Veins already had problems, and now a World-Destroying Mill had appeared; Hongyun had to be cautious.

Facing the two powerful auras, Jieyin and Zhunti felt their figures sink instantly, and their expressions turned somewhat ugly.

The two were not thick-skinned for nothing; with an angry snort, Zhunti said with some fury: "It is that Ancestral Witch Xuanming!"

The World-Destroying Mill had already run off, and judging by the scene just now, it was likely not something an ordinary person could subdue, so there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, although Houtu and the other Ancestral Witches had submitted to Tian Yuan's command, he was still clear that Dijiang and Xuanming were not at Mount Buzhou.

If that Xuanming had taken control of the World-Destroying Mill, Zhunti was certainly disappointed, but it was better than it falling into the hands of Nuwa and the others.

"It really is Xuanming?" Nuwa whispered, her face still finding it hard to believe.

Because of Gonggong, she had returned, and having just seen that pair of eyes in the millstone, she had vaguely guessed as much.

Now that she had Zhunti's testimony, there could be no mistake.

With wills and laws shrouding the surroundings, she could clearly sense that Zhunti was not lying.

It was just that the result before her was something Nuwa truly could not understand.

Among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xuanming's strength was second only to Dijiang, but she had often been defeated by Tian Yuan; how could this be so exaggerated?

Xuanming had not been gone for long, and there had been no fluctuations of the other party breaking through in the Primordial World.

This sudden turn of events was truly too abrupt.

"If that is the case, the matter of the Western Earth Veins is indeed related to Xuanming." Hongyun also darkened his face, his expression somewhat grave.

Hongyun was very clear about the relationship between Tian Yuan and the Wu Clan.

If Xuanming were to obtain heaven-defying fortune and truly take control of a Chaos Treasure, it would indeed erode the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

This is not only because of Tian Yuan, but also because Houtu and other Ancestral Witches are within it.

Mount Buzhou has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the Wu Clan, and the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space is the greatest legacy of Pangu; Xuanming will not let it go.

"This matter must be reported to Tian Yuan quickly!" Nuwa naturally thought of this as well.

Only when the Earth Veins recover can the Primordial World grow stronger, and only then will Humanity flourish. And with the prosperity of Humanity, their positions as fruits become even more powerful, which is also of great benefit to their cultivation.

With a Chaos Treasure like the World-Destroying Mill, and matters concerning Xuanming, Tian Yuan still had not appeared; Nuwa felt that things were somewhat strange.

Hongyun was also aware of this; he knew deeply that Tian Yuan's focus on the Earth Veins meant he could not possibly remain indifferent.

With a dark face, he scanned the surrounding space, and Hongyun's gaze finally landed on Jieyin and Zhunti.

After just one glance, he exchanged a look with Nuwa, and the two of them fled together toward the outside of Mount Sumeru.

The Western Two Sages, who had been directly ignored, saw this, and their entire faces instantly turned black.

No matter what, they were Heavenly Dao Saints; they did not expect Hongyun and the other to hold them in such low regard.

Yet, watching the figures of the two as they went far away, they dared not say anything at all.

If one's skills are inferior to others, what else can be done? They could only swallow their broken teeth along with their pride! Just as the figures of Nuwa and Hongyun fled, Nuwa let out a loud cry: "Not good!"

Beside her, Hongyun heard this and was first stunned, then his expression changed drastically, both of their faces filled with looks of disbelief.
