218. Chapter 215: Battling the Shen Huang Projection, Refining the Shen Huang World

The next second, Ling Yu only felt a moment of trance. By the time he regained his senses, he had already arrived at an unfamiliar cave dwelling. He knew this was Shen Huang's arrangement, so his tense mood relaxed.

On the other side, after Shen Huang sent Ling Yu to the cave dwelling, he focused all his attention directly on the Shen Huang World.

Just a moment ago, he had actually sensed that he had completely lost control over the Shen Huang World. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao of the Shen Huang World was still under his control; otherwise, he feared he would have been unable to find the Shen Huang World at all.

"Who is it?" Shen Huang directly took over the Heavenly Dao and then shouted throughout the entire Shen Huang World.

Everyone in the Shen Huang World heard this voice. They did not know what was going on, and all of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling.

"It seems it couldn't be avoided after all!" Inside the Kaoshan Sect, Pan Huang said with a smile.

After speaking, his entire person vanished from where he stood. By the time he appeared again, he had already arrived at the summit of the Divine Mountain.

At this moment, Shen Huang had already condensed a Heavenly Dao body. Looking at Pan Huang who had appeared before him, his eyes were filled with resentment and fury.

"So it was you who stole my world?" Although Shen Huang was extremely angry now, he still did not make a move immediately.

"You are Shen Huang?" Pan Huang also asked a question, his tone relaxed, not taking Shen Huang seriously at all.

"You are not from this world of mine. Who exactly are you? Aside from the few close fellow disciples of my sect, only those from the Great Heavens Ascension Platform could know of my world. Speak! Who exactly are you?" After Pan Huang's voice fell, Shen Huang's expression suddenly became agitated.

After hearing Shen Huang's words, Pan Huang's brows immediately furrowed. Shen Huang's words revealed a massive piece of information, and that information was the Great Heavens. What exactly was this Great Heavens? And what was the Ascension Platform he spoke of?

"It seems I guessed correctly. This Heavenly Dao is definitely not the one in charge of the Primordial World; at the very least, it is not an existence that only manages the Primordial World," Pan Huang said in his heart.

"Not talking? Then I shall investigate it myself!" Shen Huang let out a cold snort, and an extremely powerful Heavenly Dao pressure descended upon Pan Huang.

"A mere third-tier Heavenly Dao, and you dare to act presumptuously before me?" Shen Huang said with disdain after sensing the aura on Pan Huang.

After speaking, the Heavenly Dao pressure continued to increase, and the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and World-Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning appeared beside Shen Huang.

Seeing these things, Pan Huang suddenly remembered that he had already refined this world. With a movement of his mind, the World-Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning vanished from beside Shen Huang and appeared beside Pan Huang the next second.

As for the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, he had no way to deal with it for the moment, because the Heavenly Dao of this world was formed by Shen Huang's will. Although he had refined the world, he had not completely mastered it. His control over the Shen Huang World was at most around ninety percent; the rest remained in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

"Damned thief!" Seeing the World-Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning appear beside Pan Huang, Shen Huang was enraged.

The next second, countless tribulation lightnings, on par with the Zixiao Divine Lightning, flew out from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and headed straight for Pan Huang.

Pan Huang grinned. Several bolts of tribulation lightning immediately flew out from the World-Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning to meet the Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning. In just an instant, the two canceled each other out.

"You are merely a consciousness projection. If you want to fight me, your true body would have to come over!" Pan Huang said with a smile.

After speaking, Pan Huang directly began to extract the world's power to inject into his inner world. When the world's power was extracted, the power of the Heavenly Dao began to decline. The Heavenly Dao, to put it plainly, was a product of the world; if the world ceased to exist, there would be no need for the Heavenly Dao to exist either.

Pan Huang had found inspiration from the World-Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning: as long as he extracted the world's power, the Heavenly Dao's strength should correspondingly decline. At that point, this Heavenly Dao would be easy to deal with.

"How about we negotiate? You tell me who is behind you, and what they gave you, and I will give you double, how about that?" Seeing the world's power continuously decreasing and the Heavenly Dao body he had condensed slowly fading, Shen Huang finally began to panic.

Although he was the Lord of the World, he was also a disciple of a sect in the Great Heavens. If his world were destroyed, he would lose his source of power, and he would certainly be replaced by others in the sect. Thus, he chose to sue for peace.

"I am not a person who likes to betray trust," Pan Huang knew Shen Huang had misunderstood him, so he went along with Shen Huang's words.

"Let me give you a piece of advice: there are some people you cannot afford to provoke," Pan Huang added.

"I knew it was you, Di Yu! I will not let you off!" Upon hearing Pan Huang's words, Shen Huang blurted this out, which left Pan Huang unable to react for a moment.

"Is this... a lucky guess?" Pan Huang said in his heart.

"Die! My master wants this world!" Seeing Shen Huang distracted, Pan Huang added fuel to the fire.

After speaking, he controlled the World-Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning to shoot out countless bolts of tribulation lightning, and then he hid behind the lightning to quickly approach Shen Huang.

In just an instant, the tribulation lightning arrived before Shen Huang. Because of his distraction just now, Shen Huang could only defend in a rush when the lightning reached him.

Shen Huang did manage to defend against those bolts of lightning, but he did not guard against Pan Huang, who was behind the lightning. Pan Huang rushed over and slammed his hand onto Shen Huang's head.

The next second, the world power of his inner world surged forth, beginning to scour Shen Huang's consciousness.

One mistake led to another. Just because of a moment of distraction, Shen Huang instantly fell into a disadvantage. Just as he wanted to resist, Pan Huang absorbed the world's power even more vigorously. The power of the Shen Huang World's Heavenly Dao was weakened once again, and in the end, it could not even maintain the Heavenly Dao body.

"I will definitely find you! And Di Yu, I will definitely not let you off!" Before this sliver of Shen Huang's consciousness vanished, it roared out these words.

"Do you think you're Gray Wolf?" Pan Huang curled his lips.

After Shen Huang's consciousness vanished, Pan Huang took the opportunity to refine the Heavenly Dao of the Shen Huang World as well. From this moment on, the entire Shen Huang World became Pan Huang's private property.

"It is time to leave!" Standing at the summit of the Divine Mountain, Pan Huang muttered to himself.

After speaking, his entire person vanished from the Divine Mountain. By the time he appeared again, he had already arrived in Chaos.

"This world still has so many living beings. Simply absorbing the world's origin will wipe out these beings, and that is not what I want," Pan Huang muttered to himself.

After speaking, he sat cross-legged before the world membrane. He had already refined the world's origin, so the world membrane did not repel Pan Huang at all.

This time, Pan Huang wanted to attempt world fusion, rather than simple devouring. If it were a world like the Giant Beast World, he would have devoured it without hesitation.

It took only a very short time for the world membrane to be refined by Pan Huang. Now he had to attempt to compress the world first, and then let it fuse with his inner world.

Very easily, with almost no obstacles, Pan Huang compressed the Shen Huang World, and then, by releasing the spatial nodes of his inner world, he established an initial connection between the Shen Huang World and his inner world. The rest was just fusion.

It was unknown how much time had passed; Pan Huang estimated at least five hundred years. The Shen Huang World finally fused with his inner world. After the fusion, the power of the Heavenly Dao in Pan Huang's inner world became more than twice as strong, and the entire inner world also grew significantly larger.

"This shouldn't be. The Shen Huang World is a Great Thousand World, and it is a Great Thousand World of a higher level than the Primordial World. Why is my inner world still a Small Thousand World after the fusion?" Pan Huang was somewhat puzzled.

His inner world had indeed grown larger, the Heavenly Dao had become stronger, and the inner world now had the living beings of the Shen Huang World, but the level of his inner world had not improved, and Pan Huang's own strength had not increased either; he remained at the late stage of the Heavenly Dao.

"Could it be that world advancement can only rely on devouring?" Such a guess appeared in Pan Huang's heart.

But he had not gained nothing. Aside from the world not advancing, there were still many benefits. In addition to those mentioned before, Pan Huang discovered that the foundation of his inner world had become more profound, and at the same time, his own foundation had become more profound. The most obvious change was that his magic power had been refined and purified once again.

"Forget it, let's return to the Dao field first. This time exploring the world took a bit long; I must digest it well," Pan Huang said.

In reality, there were two other reasons for him to return to the Dao field: one was to see Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Minghe, and the other was to see if Father God Pangu had awakened.

If Father God Pangu had awakened, that would be wonderful. Then he could explore that so-called Great Heavens together with Pangu. He wondered if Father God Pangu knew of this so-called Great Heavens.

On the other side, inside the Great Heavens' Heavenly Law Sect.

After his own consciousness was erased, Shen Huang spat out a mouthful of blood. The aura on his body also instantly became withered. This was the backlash after losing contact with the world, as well as the manifestation of his consciousness being damaged.

"Di Yu, I will not let you off! During the sect competition, I will definitely fight you to the death!" Shen Huang's resentful voice echoed throughout his cave dwelling.

And the Di Yu in Shen Huang's mouth sneezed several times inexplicably at this moment. He rubbed his nose with a puzzled expression and continued his cultivation.

Back to Pan Huang's side, after he came out of the Shen Huang World, he returned to the Dao field very quickly. The first thing he did upon returning was to send messages to Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Minghe, and he also sent a message to Nüwa.

After receiving the messages, they arrived at Pan Huang's Dao field very quickly.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been out for quite a long time!" Ancestor Minghe said with a smile upon seeing Pan Huang.

"How many years have passed in the Primordial World?" Pan Huang asked.

"Almost eight hundred years have passed in the Primordial World," Zhen Yuanzi said hurriedly.

"Eight hundred years? So much time has passed? I thought it was only a few decades," Pan Huang muttered to himself.

"Fellow Daoist, are there really other worlds in this Chaos?" Nüwa asked curiously upon hearing Pan Huang say this.

"There are, and not a few!" Pan Huang nodded very seriously.

Because just a short while ago, he had heard information about the Great Heavens. Anything that could be called the Great Heavens must be a place where many worlds gathered; otherwise, it could not be called the Great Heavens. Furthermore, Pan Huang had reason to suspect that the so-called Great Dao was very likely the Heavenly Dao of the Great Heavens, or some kind of world will of the Great Heavens.

"So we were just sitting in a well looking at the sky!" Nüwa laughed at herself after hearing Pan Huang's answer.

"It is not too late now!" Pan Huang said.

He still did not tell them about Pangu's awakening. After all, Pangu was his Father God, and he could not possibly take the initiative to weaken Pangu's power. But Zhen Yuanzi and the others were his friends, so he could only give them hints from the side.

If these few people realized it, they would naturally transcend the Heavenly Dao; if they could not comprehend it, then they could just be ordinary Primordial Heavenly Dao Saints.

After finishing reminiscing with Nüwa and the others, Pan Huang returned to the Heavenly Dao space of the Primordial World.

When he returned to the Heavenly Dao space, Chang Xi and Xi He were still in closed-door cultivation. He did not disturb the two, because Pan Huang could see that they were at a critical moment of breakthrough.

Because of Pangu's awakening and the establishment of the new Heavenly Dao, there were no longer restrictions on Saints in the Primordial World. The reason the original Primordial Heavenly Dao restricted the number of Saints was that the Heavenly Dao at that time was incomplete; if there were too many Saints, it would be very easy to lose control, which was why such a saying existed.

Primordial World, Central Imperial Continent, the Great Golden Crow arrived at the Pangu Temple once again.

Upon entering the Pangu Temple again, the Great Golden Crow saw a projection sitting cross-legged and cultivating on the Pangu statue. This projection was exactly the same as the statue.

"Greetings, Father God!" The Great Golden Crow bowed hurriedly.

"Your strength seems to have improved a bit!" The Pangu projection opened his eyes, looked at the Great Golden Crow, and said indifferently.

"Reporting to Father God, this child luckily explored a world, and after fusing and absorbing this world, gained some foundation enhancement," the Great Golden Crow said hurriedly.

At this moment, the Great Golden Crow was being controlled by Pan Huang's consciousness. This was the effect of him strengthening his primordial spirit. After the Great Golden Crow and the others formed projections, it was actually very difficult for Pan Huang to control them with his own consciousness, but now, with the strengthened primordial spirit, he could achieve this.

"A world? You came into contact with the Great Heavens?" Pangu asked Pan Huang with great curiosity.

"Father God, you also know of the Great Heavens?" Hearing the name of the Great Heavens again, Pan Huang asked hurriedly.

"You answer my question first!"

"Father God, this child did not come into contact with the Great Heavens, but the master of the world this child fused with was from the Great Heavens," Pan Huang said truthfully.

"Hmm! With your current strength, ascending to the Great Heavens is indeed not enough to be seen. When your strength reaches the peak of the Heavenly Dao, you can try to come into contact with the Great Heavens," Pangu said to Pan Huang.

"Father God, is the Great Heavens very strong?"

"I am a person who came out of the Great Heavens." Pangu did not say how strong the Great Heavens was; he only said that he himself was a person from the Great Heavens, which was enough to explain the problem.

"This child understands!" Pan Huang nodded.

"I will be able to fully awaken in at most a thousand years. By then, I will tell you in detail about the Great Heavens."

"Many thanks, Father God! This child awaits Father God's kingly return!" Pan Huang was full of excitement.

"Go!" The Pangu projection waved his hand.

"Father God, this child takes his leave!" After bowing, Pan Huang exited the Pangu Temple.

After exiting the Pangu Temple, Pan Huang's consciousness returned to his true body, and the Great Golden Crow's consciousness regained control of this body.

"The Great Heavens! It seems this Emperor must also cultivate diligently. Although this Emperor is only a projection, this Emperor is also an independent individual. This Great Heavens, this true body is determined to go," the Great Golden Crow muttered to himself. (End of chapter)
