I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1441 The Great Dao Ambush
Chapter 1421 Ambush on the Great Dao

Is anyone blocking the way? This is inevitable. In this immeasurable calamity, no one wants to see Xiao Sheng become powerful, so those who want to block the way will naturally appear. The fact that no one is making a move now is not because they are merciful, but because these guys are all watching and waiting, hoping to reap the benefits. After all, if they can't kill Xiao Sheng, it will be an irreconcilable hatred. These powerful people are never short of patience. As long as it is beneficial to them, they can endure it indefinitely!
Once the slaughter begins, no one can stop. After all, where there are people, there is conflict, and the primordial world is now in complete chaos. Although the killing among the chaotic gods and demons is not much, they are all attacking the chaotic beasts. Their instincts tell them that the army of chaotic beasts is the most dangerous existence, and if they don't want to be ambushed by the Great Dao of Chaos, eliminating this army of chaotic beasts is the right thing to do. They are even targeting the Grand Luo Golden Immortals who have attained enlightenment among the chaotic beasts. After all, any threat should be eliminated; this is the true belief of the three thousand chaotic gods and demons. It seems that in that instant, this decision has become their consensus.

In contrast, the beings in the primordial world did not suffer as much threat or oppression, allowing them more time to prepare. Perhaps this is a kind of balance. After all, the time allotted for cultivation in the primordial world is limited; giving them more time gives them a chance to advance further!

Just as Xiao Sheng, the Dark King, and the Ten Directions Daoist were perfecting their own Great Daos using the origin of the primordial world, a chilling voice rang in their ears: the enemy blocking their path had finally appeared. Let alone during this immeasurable calamity, even in normal times, there would always be obstacles to perfecting one's Great Dao!

"Want to perfect yourself? You're dreaming! Do you think you're some chaotic god or demon, daring to plunder my power like this!" This was the voice of the Primordial Dao. Clearly, this guy was already dissatisfied and wanted to kill Xiao Sheng and the other two, to seize Xiao Sheng's entire essence. After all, such an opportunity was too good to pass up; if he didn't seize it, he would be letting himself down. This was the Primordial Dao's true thought; he felt this was the Primordial World's protection, delivering this wonderful opportunity right before his eyes!

Although the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons also have designs on Xiao Sheng, they all know to strike first and avoid targeting Xiao Sheng, the Dark King, and Changshengzi, who have already come out into the open. After all, it would be a losing proposition, and failure would have unimaginable consequences, costing them their lives.

Yes, all three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons knew that in such an environment, if they actively entered the fray, it would only draw more attention to themselves, not to mention the desire to kill and plunder. They were well aware of how tempting Xiao Sheng's Life Dao Origin was, so they didn't want to rush into action but were waiting for the right opportunity! Unfortunately, the Primordial Great Dao didn't think that way. The actions of Xiao Sheng, the Dark King, and the Ten Directions Daoist were all about plundering him. He had long regarded everything in the Primordial World as his own, a fact that could be understood from his origins.

"So it was you, a guy rejected by the Primordial World. How dare you spout such nonsense? Are you courting death?" Upon discovering the Primordial Dao, Xiao Sheng showed no surprise and immediately launched a counterattack, not taking it seriously at all. If the Primordial Dao was truly courting death and insisted on fighting him, he wouldn't mind sending it on its way and letting it perish sooner, while also seeing what this guy's true origin was.

A source capable of bearing the three thousand Great Daos is no simple matter. Xiao Sheng was eager to know what Pangu and the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons used to refine the Great Dao Heart, and how it was made to evolve into the Primordial Great Dao. All these secrets were contained within the origin of the Primordial Great Dao. If he could kill it and seize all of this, perhaps he would be able to understand everything.

No one wants to destroy the Primordial Dao and devour its origin? Yes, all three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons have this thought, but none dare to act rashly. The Primordial Dao was created by Pangu himself; to kill it, one must first overcome Pangu's hurdle. This is why those Chaos Gods and Demons who cultivate negative paths align themselves with the Primordial Dao—they fear that any action they take will immediately be met with Pangu's annihilation.

Of course, if the Primordial Dao took the initiative to provoke trouble, then there would be no problem. But the Primordial Dao is not stupid. Why would it attack the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons when it has no confidence at all? Even if it wanted to target them, it would be the powerful figures in the Primordial World, such as Xiao Sheng, the Dark King, and the Ten Directions Daoist!

Unfortunately, the Primordial Great Dao made the wrong choice this time. Perhaps the appearance of the Chaos Great Dao gave the Primordial Great Dao a false sense of security, making it feel that its strength had advanced further. It had absorbed the essence of so many chaotic beasts and the essence of all living beings in the world, making it feel like it was floating on air and losing its composure. It felt that this was the best time to seek revenge on Xiao Sheng, and it had a legitimate reason, so the chances of success were too great!
In short, the will of the Primordial Great Dao was not firm enough. When the Primordial World was engulfed in a frenzy of slaughter, the surging primordial power affected him. While his strength increased significantly, his foundation became unstable, causing him to forget that all this power was not something he cultivated himself, but rather a gift from the great forces of heaven and earth. Such power did not belong to him. Even if he could increase his strength now, it would affect his future cultivation and even his own foundation.

The Primordial Great Dao paid no attention to any of this, or rather, he never even considered it. After all, he had always harbored a crazy idea in his heart: to quickly improve his own strength and complete his own transformation. Only in this way could he break free from all constraints. It wasn't that he was unaware of his own situation. Because of the existence of Pangu, the God of Destiny, the God of Cause and Effect, and the God of Creation, he was always uneasy. He worried that if he didn't improve his combat power quickly, he would become nourishment for others.

Despite Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's cultivation of the Great Dao of Destruction and his desire to destroy the primordial world, in the heart of the Primordial Dao itself, his threat is far less than that of Hongjun Daozu, the God of Destiny, the God of Cause and Effect, and the God of Creation. As for Pangu, he is on another level entirely. The Primordial Dao's mind was already weak, but under the pressure of this immeasurable calamity, his obsession with power has made him even more insane. It is precisely because of this that he took the step of ambushing Xiao Sheng.

That's right, it was a sneak attack. Although those words were spoken, the Primordial Great Dao was essentially launching a sneak attack on Xiao Sheng. When he spoke, he had already mobilized the power of the Primordial World's origin. This madman even incorporated an incomparably pure and terrifying Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi into it, directly surging towards Xiao Sheng. He wanted to use the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi to target Xiao Sheng, to ruin Xiao Sheng's Dao, to sever Xiao Sheng's path to the Great Dao, and to destroy Xiao Sheng's Dao Fruit!

Whether it was Xiao Sheng, the Dark King, or the Ten Directions Daoist, when they were devouring the origin of the primordial world, their own Dao Fruits were merging with the primordial origin. Faced with this sudden change, even if Xiao Sheng was on guard, he had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the primordial origin, wrapped in the tribulation energy of heaven and earth, surged into his own Dao Fruit.

"Primordial Great Dao, you're courting death!" Feeling the destructive power of the incredibly pure Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi, and the damage to his Dao Fruit, Xiao Sheng felt an endless killing intent rise within him. This was the Primordial Great Dao's scheme against him, a meticulously prepared method to erode Xiao Sheng's Dao Fruit with Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi, thereby weakening his combat power and allowing him to succeed. As Xiao Sheng's roar resounded, a sigh quickly echoed in the void. Those who hadn't yet made a move, those still hidden in the shadows, were all shocked by what they saw. They hadn't expected that the Primordial Great Dao, born from the Primordial World, would use Heaven and Earth Tribulation Qi to target Xiao Sheng, and even to erode his Dao Fruit.

"This is insane! Didn't Pangu teach this guy any common sense when he was conceiving him? Even if Pangu didn't leave him this knowledge, there are still the Gods and Demons of Destiny, Cause and Effect, and Creation. They couldn't possibly have failed to tell this guy about the terrifying power of the Heavenly Calamity Qi. It's a corrupting force formed after birth, and even the Chaos Gods and Demons can't withstand such erosion. Even the Great Dao of Chaos will be affected by it. But this guy actually actively invites the Heavenly Calamity Qi to his body, and he can even use the power of the world to wrap around it and use it as an attack. This is too crazy!"

"Yes, it's insane. The calamity energy of heaven and earth has corrupted his primordial spirit. Perhaps I finally understand why this guy, who was clearly born from the Great Dao of the Primordial World, was rejected by it. It's because he's not walking an ordinary path; he's walking a mad path. He's using the calamity energy of heaven and earth to erode himself. Perhaps what he wants to grasp is not the power of the Primordial World, but the calamity energy of heaven and earth. He wants to transform the calamity energy of heaven and earth condensed by countless calamities into his own power."

"It's impossible for him to succeed. Even if just a little bit of the tribulation energy has eroded his primordial spirit, if it continues, his primordial spirit will be completely eroded by the tribulation energy and he will eventually become a puppet of the tribulation energy. Even if the primordial world were to bear the terrible erosion power for him, he still wouldn't be able to hold on."

"That's not how it works. Perhaps he can hold on until the end and complete the transformation of his primordial spirit. If he can truly control the tribulation energy of heaven and earth and transform it into his own origin, what does it matter if he abandons the power of the primordial world? As the master of the tribulation energy of heaven and earth, he will be even stronger and will break free from all constraints. Even the Great Dao of Chaos will be unable to do anything to him. After all, that is the tribulation energy of heaven and earth. As long as there is a trace of darkness in the world, he will not die!"

"Everyone says we're crazy, but now I realize it's not us who's crazy, it's these guys. Pangu also walked a crazy path, manifesting his past, future, and present selves simultaneously, breaking free from the river of time and unaffected by heaven and earth. Now, the Primordial Great Dao he has nurtured is even more insane, directly embarking on this unprecedented path of tribulation, and it's even using the immeasurable tribulation energy of heaven and earth as its source. We have to admit that such a madman is not someone we can deal with. Even if we could kill him, he would take us with him the moment he dies. We can't touch the tribulation energy of heaven and earth!"

"It is indeed too crazy. I just don't know if Xiao Sheng, this young man, can withstand the erosion of this heaven and earth tribulation energy and keep his mind steady. If he can't, then he is doomed to lose this battle!"

"No, we can't draw such a conclusion now. Even if Xiao Sheng can't eliminate the erosion of this heavenly tribulation energy, don't forget that he still has the Dark King. And do you think the Dark King will stand by and watch such a great battle? Do you think the Primordial Great Dao can withstand the combined attack of these two guys!"

Just as the chaotic god-demon finished speaking, a deep voice resounded through the sky: "Time stands still."

That was the voice of the Dark King. He instantly used his great power of time to freeze time, trying to buy Xiao Sheng enough time to catch his breath. After all, facing a sudden sneak attack, especially one made of incredibly pure and terrifying heaven and earth tribulation energy, was an absolute weapon of mass destruction for anyone.

"The Karmic Flames of the Mortal World are refining my primordial spirit, open for me!" With a brief respite, Xiao Sheng roared, and streams of Karmic Flames of the Mortal World began to surge wildly, rushing towards his primordial spirit. Although the Heavenly Calamity Qi was terrifying, the Karmic Flames of the Mortal World were not to be underestimated, and both were the most terrifying forces.

"A madman, a complete madman! He actually used the karmic fire of the mortal world to fight against the calamity of heaven and earth. Isn't he afraid of adding fuel to the fire? Isn't he afraid that before his primordial spirit can be refined, his soul will be scattered and his body will perish? This madman is too terrifying, he doesn't care about his life!"

In that instant, many chaotic gods and demons were shocked by Xiao Sheng's crazy operation. That was the Karmic Flame of the Mortal World, and it was the Karmic Flame of the Mortal World condensed from countless eons. It contained countless resentments, but Xiao Sheng did it anyway. The two forces were fighting fiercely in his Dao Fruit. The Karmic Flame of the Mortal World was fighting against the Calamity Qi of Heaven and Earth. The two were grinding each other apart, and Xiao Sheng's Dao Fruit was also constantly impacted in this duel. Cracks gradually appeared on the Dao Fruit. It was not that there was a problem with Xiao Sheng's Dao Fruit cultivation, but that the Dao Fruit could not withstand the crazy confrontation between the Karmic Flame of the Mortal World and the Calamity Qi of Heaven and Earth!

What does it mean to risk one's life? This is it. In everyone's eyes, Xiao Sheng was risking his life. He was engaging in the most insane confrontation. There were clearly other ways, but Xiao Sheng insisted on choosing the most insane and dangerous path, which shocked them all!
