Chapter 504
The Demon Ancestor Expounds the Way of the World! All Beings of the Primordial World Ach
Deep within Mount Sumeru, chaotic demonic energy surged and boiled.
After giving instructions to Luo Hou and Qinglian Tongzi, Di Jun stepped into the core of the palace, which was sealed off by numerous restrictions.
The space shifted, and the scene before my eyes suddenly opened up. It was no longer a palace, but a vast and boundless strange world filled with the aura of primordial chaos!
This chaotic world has expanded many times over since Di Jun first entered it!
Hundreds of "Dao Domains" of different shapes and emanating different auras of laws floated in the chaotic airflow!
Some are engulfed in raging flames, some are frozen solid, some roar with thunder, and some are teeming with life...
It was Di Jun who, using the Chaos World Tree as a foundation, combined his own insights with the various origins of laws he had plundered, and thus created the prototype of the Dao Domain!
The Chaos World Tree, rooted in the core of the world, with its gnarled branches extending into the endless void, continuously draws upon chaotic energy to nourish this growing world!
"The Chaos World Tree... Blood Domain... It's time!"
Di Jun's gaze was like lightning, locking onto one of the crimson Dao Domains that exuded a rich aura of blood and life—the Blood Domain!
With a thought, he instantly appeared at the core of the Blood Domain.
The blood energy here is overwhelming, like a vast ocean made of blood essence. It was created by him after collecting and refining the blood essence of countless living beings and combining it with the origin of the blood law!
Di Jun sat cross-legged in the center of the sea of blood, his expression solemn.
With a wave of his hand, twelve drops of ancestral witch blood essence, radiating brilliant golden light and containing terrifying bloodline fluctuations, appeared out of thin air!
Each drop of essence blood is like a miniature universe, with the phantom of creation floating inside, radiating the terrifying pressure of Pangu!
"The Universe Cauldron! Appear!"
Di Jun let out a low shout, and a giant cauldron with an ancient and heavy appearance, three legs and two ears, and engraved with countless mysterious runes, descended with a bang!
It was the innate treasure he obtained from the system—the Qiankun Cauldron!
This cauldron contains the power of creation, capable of refining all things and returning them to their original state!
"go with!"
Di Jun flicked his finger, and twelve drops of Ancestral Witch Blood essence transformed into twelve golden streams of light, which were precisely poured into the Qiankun Cauldron!
"The Chaos World Tree! Blessed by the Origin!"
Di Jun formed hand seals, activating the core essence of the Chaos World Tree!
A vast and powerful azure torrent, containing the great power of primordial creation, burst forth from the main trunk of the World Tree and poured into the Qiankun Cauldron!
"Blood Domain! All Blood Returns to the Source!"
Di Jun once again draws upon the power of the Blood Domain!
The entire Blood Domain instantly boiled! Endless essence of blood energy surged wildly into the Qiankun Cauldron!
The Qiankun Cauldron trembled violently! Chaotic energy surged within the cauldron, and divine light of creation soared into the sky!
Under the dual impact and refining of the Chaos World Tree's origin and the Blood Domain's endless blood energy, the twelve drops of Ancestral Witch's essence blood began to collide and fuse violently!
The golden light grew brighter and brighter, and the phantom of Pangu creating the world became clearer and clearer!
An unparalleled will originating from the primordial chaos and the creation of the world slowly awakens and condenses within the cauldron!
This process is extremely slow and extremely dangerous!
Di Jun sat cross-legged before the cauldron, his mind highly focused, controlling the origin of the Chaos World Tree and the power of the Blood Domain with all his might, carefully guiding the fusion of essence and blood.
Time has lost its meaning in this chaotic world.
I don't know how much time has passed, maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years.
The Qiankun Cauldron trembled violently! The lid opened on its own!
A golden, blood-red light, indescribably brilliant, pure, and majestic, shot forth from within the cauldron like the first ray of light after the creation of the world! It illuminated the entire chaotic world!
A terrifying aura, which made even Di Jun's soul tremble, spread out!
Pangu's essence blood! Fusion successful!
The drop of golden blood that floated at the mouth of the cauldron, only the size of a thumb, yet seemed to contain the weight of the entire primordial world, was the very essence blood of Pangu that Emperor Jun had been dreaming of!
An unprecedentedly intense light erupted from Di Jun's eyes!
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and inhaled! The drop of Pangu's essence blood transformed into a golden light and instantly entered his mouth!
An indescribable, terrifying energy erupted within Di Jun's body, like billions of volcanoes erupting simultaneously!
The colossal power of creation, the origin of chaos, and the true meaning of bloodline contained in Pangu's essence blood frantically washed over, tore apart, and reshaped every inch of his flesh, bones, meridians, and even his soul!
"Ugh—!"
Even with the resilience of Di Jun's Chaos Demon God body, he couldn't help but let out a painful groan at this moment!
He felt as if his body was about to be burst and crushed by this force!
"Fangzhang Island! Blood Pool!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Di Jun vanished in an instant!
The next moment, he appeared in another Dao Domain of the Chaos World—Fangzhang Island!
In the center of this immortal island, there is a blood pool formed from the essence of chaos and endless blood energy!
The pool water was as red as a diamond, containing a vast source of life and the power to temper the body!
Pfft!
Without hesitation, Di Jun leaped into the deepest part of the blood pool! The viscous, crimson water instantly submerged him!
The violent power of Pangu's essence blood and the tempering power of the blood pool engaged in a fierce tug-of-war within Di Jun's body!
Tear! Repair! Destruction! Rebirth!
Di Jun's physical body was like divine iron thrown into the furnace of heaven and earth, undergoing the most brutal tempering!
His aura surged amidst destruction and rebirth, and his physical strength grew at a visible rate!
Within the chaotic world, time flows differently than outside. A thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.
At the edge of the Blood Domain, Rahu (Yuan Feng) and the Azure Lotus Boy silently guard it.
They could feel the increasingly terrifying and oppressive aura emanating from the direction of Fangzhang Island.
Rahu's scarlet eyes held both expectation and solemnity, while the Green Lotus Boy's face showed worry.
"Demon Ancestor, Master, he..."
Qinglian Boy couldn't help but speak.
"It's alright."
Rahu's voice was deep.
"Destruction precedes construction; without destruction, there is no construction. This is the necessary path to enlightenment through physical means! He... can pull through!"
At that moment, their expressions changed simultaneously!
They could clearly sense that the blood pool at the core of Fangzhang Island, which was originally as red as a diamond and full of energy, was weakening at an alarming rate!
"The Blood Pool... is it going to dry up?!"
The Green Lotus Boy cried out in alarm!
The two figures appeared instantly above Fangzhang Island.
The enormous pool of blood was now almost completely dry!
Only a thin layer of reddish water stains remained at the bottom of the pool!
In the center of the pool, Di Jun was sitting cross-legged!
His body was covered with a thick layer of blood scabs, like a giant cocoon!
But beneath that blood cocoon, a terrifying aura that even Rahu felt his heart trembled with was slowly awakening, like a slumbering ancient beast!
Click-clack!
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the surface of the blood cocoon!
Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a giant axe splitting the heavens and earth, suddenly erupted!
It instantly swept across the entire chaotic world! Hundreds of Dao Domains trembled simultaneously! The chaotic energy surged wildly backward!
The blood cocoon shattered completely! Di Jun's figure was revealed!
He slowly opened his eyes! Two beams of chaotic divine light shot out from his eyes, piercing through the void!
He slowly rose to his feet, and the scabs covering his body fell away in a flurry, revealing a perfect body beneath that was like a piece of divine gold cast in glass, flowing with chaotic Dao patterns!
Every inch of skin contains a terrifying power capable of shattering stars!
Every breath resonates with the very essence of the chaotic world!
First Heaven of the Primordial Golden Immortal... Second Heaven... Third Heaven...
Di Jun's physical cultivation level skyrocketed! The barriers to breakthrough were fragile before him!
The immense power contained in that drop of Pangu's essence blood was completely unleashed!
Fourth Heaven! Fifth Heaven! Sixth Heaven!
The chaotic world trembled violently! The light of the Dao Domain flickered erratically!
Seventh Heaven! Eighth Heaven! Ninth Heaven!
When Di Jun's aura finally stabilized at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Heaven of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, the entire Chaos World seemed unable to withstand this pressure and let out an unbearable groan!
A terrifying sense of power, surpassing all the heavens and myriad realms and seemingly capable of shattering the primordial world with a single punch, permeated Di Jun's body!
"A Primordial Golden Immortal... at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Heaven?!"
Luo Hou's pupils contracted sharply, his scarlet eyes filled with unbelievable shock!
Even though he was a remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God, he knew all too well what the Great Perfection of the Ninth Heaven of the Primordial Golden Immortal was!
This is the final step before one can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through physical cultivation!
He was just one step away from truly proving the Dao through force! And Di Jun only needed a thousand years (the time of the Chaotic World) to achieve that!
Qinglian Boy was so stunned that he almost stopped breathing!
He felt as if his master at that moment could completely annihilate him with a single glance!
Di Jun slowly raised his hand and gently clenched his fist.
Click—!
The void in front of him shattered inch by inch, revealing the churning chaotic energy behind it!
Pure power! Ultimate power! Without the aid of any laws, the power of the physical body alone can shatter the void!
"strength……"
Di Jun felt the vast, seemingly endless, terrifying power within his body, his eyes filled with satisfaction, but this quickly turned into a deep, calm. He looked up at Rahu and the Azure Lotus Child in the sky.
"Congratulations, Master! Your physical attainment of enlightenment is just around the corner!"
The Azure Lotus Boy was the first to react, and bowed deeply in excitement.
Luo Hou suppressed his shock and said in a deep voice.
"Perfected Primordial Golden Immortal!"
Such a physical body is extremely rare, even in the primordial era! You... have already secured an invincible position!
Di Jun shook his head slightly, his voice calm and even, yet carrying an undeniable firmness.
"Undefeated? That's far from enough."
His gaze pierced through the barriers of the chaotic world, as if he could see that cold gaze from within the Purple Cloud Palace.
"Even a fully realized Golden Immortal is no match for Hongjun, a Saint of the Third Heaven."
If he were to unleash his full power, mobilizing the mighty forces of Heaven, I... would still be no match for him.
"To attain the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal through physical means... that is true transcendence! Only then can one truly be fearless before Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao!"
An unprecedented glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes as he spoke, word by word:
"I... have found the way to attain enlightenment through physical means!"
"what?!"
Luo Hou and Qinglian Tongzi both gasped in shock! The initial shock was instantly replaced by another overwhelming surge! A physical body proving itself to the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal?!
This...how is this possible?! That's the legendary path of proving the Dao through force! It's the supreme path that even Pangu couldn't fully succeed at!
Di Jun... has actually found a way?!
Deep within Mount Sumeru, chaotic demonic energy surged.
Di Jun sat cross-legged beneath the Chaos World Tree, his body exuding a terrifying aura of the Great Perfection of the Ninth Heaven of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. His physical body was as clear as jade, containing the power to create the world.
Luo Hou (Yuan Feng) and Qinglian Tongzi stood to one side, their eyes still filled with lingering shock.
"Physical attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"
Rahu's scarlet eyes gleamed with surprise and uncertainty.
"This is proving the Dao through force! It's a path that even Pangu couldn't fully traverse! You... are you truly confident?"
Di Jun's gaze was deep, as if it contained an endless galaxy.
"Pangu created the world, but died from exhaustion. It wasn't that he couldn't understand the Dao, but that his strength was insufficient and his timing was unfavorable. I am different from him. I have the Chaos World Tree as my foundation, Pangu's essence blood to reshape my origin, and moreover... the system's guidance, which allows me to glimpse the path ahead."
He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips swirling with chaotic energy, as if outlining the trajectory of the Great Dao.
"Proving the Dao through physical means cannot be achieved by brute force. One must use chaos as a furnace and myriad Daos as fire to temper oneself! My chaotic world has already taken shape with hundreds of Dao domains, containing fragments of myriad Dao laws."
The next step is to draw upon the origin of the chaotic world, using the myriad laws as fuel to ignite the Chaotic Dao Fire! I will then cast myself into this Chaotic Dao Fire for ultimate tempering!
"what?!"
The Green Lotus Boy cried out in surprise.
"To draw upon the Chaos Dao Fire to consume oneself?!"
This...this is too dangerous! A single misstep could mean utter annihilation, body and soul, with no hope of redemption!
"Danger?"
Di Jun's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Where is the smooth path on the primordial road? Hongjun is watching us like a tiger, and the great calamity is closing in step by step! If we don't take risky measures, how can we break the deadlock? How can we transcend?"
He looked at Rahu.
"Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, you are a remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God. You should know the power of the Chaos Dao Fire, and also the opportunities for creation contained within it. I need you to protect my soul from destruction with your demonic essence when I am engulfed in flames!"
At the same time, it will draw upon the demonic realm's fortune to help me suppress the backlash from the Dao Fire!
A red light flashed in Luo Hou's eyes. After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded.
"Being consumed by the Chaos Dao Flame... is indeed a path with nine deaths and one life. But... if you truly succeed, it will be true transcendence! Very well! I will gamble with you! I will use the fortune of the Demon Realm to protect your soul!"
"Azure Lotus!"
Di Jun turned his gaze to the boy.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Qinglian Boy bowed immediately.
"During my seclusion, the Chaos World is under your control! Absorb all the chaotic energy to stabilize your Dao Domain and accumulate your origin! When I ignite the fire, I need the power of the Chaos World's origin as the catalyst and the myriad laws as the foundation! There is no room for error!"
"I will obey Master's decree! Qinglian will do her utmost!"
The boy named Qinglian solemnly agreed.
Di Jun nodded slightly, his eyes blazing with fury.
"The day I attain the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal will be the day when Hongjun's chess game completely collapses!"
Time flies, and thousands of years have passed in the tranquility of the primordial wilderness.
The smoke of the war between the Lich King and the Demon King has long since dissipated. The Wu Clan, entrenched in Mount Buzhou, possesses immense power, yet remains dormant due to their fear of the Heavenly Mystery Daoist.
The demon race relied on the Zhou Tian Star Array to defend the Sun Star, lick their wounds, and accumulate strength.
The primordial world has entered a rare period of peace.
However, beneath this calm surface, turbulent undercurrents are brewing.
The third sermon at Zixiao Palace is drawing ever closer!
Rumor has it that this sermon will involve the secrets of the Primordial Saint, pointing directly to the origin of the Great Dao!
All the top experts in the primordial world eagerly awaited the arrival of the Dao Palace deep within the chaos!
At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, clouds and mist swirled, exuding an ethereal aura. Yet, at the Sanqing Temple, the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
Lao Tzu sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, his breath ethereal, having reached the third level of Quasi-Saint realm, and his Dao of Non-Action became increasingly harmonious.
Yuanshi sat upright on the Jade Purity Futon, his body radiating Jade Purity Immortal Light, his majesty growing stronger day by day, and his cultivation reaching the second level of Quasi-Saint.
Only Tongtian remained seated cross-legged on the blue stone, with the ancient longsword lying across his knees, his aura... still at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
Although his sword intent was sharp and his edge was concealed, he was still unable to break through the threshold of the Quasi-Saint!
"Third brother!"
Yuan Shi frowned, his voice filled with impatience and sternness. (End of Chapter)
