I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1426 Sword Pointing at the Ferocious Beast

"No one's taking action. It seems we need to slay chaotic beasts to sharpen the sword!" After waiting a long time without any enemy attack, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh. It seemed those chaotic gods and demons were hesitant and dared not act rashly; the 'Sword of Termination' in his hand terrified them.

"My Lord, what do we do now? No one's offering help. We can't stay on Buzhou Mountain indefinitely. Although the spiritual energy here is abundant, it doesn't offer much benefit to our cultivation," Shifang Daoren asked, looking at the worried Xiao Sheng. He understood Xiao Sheng's feelings. He himself had the same thought: having just corrected his flaws and greatly increased his strength, he wanted to find an opponent to test his abilities, but couldn't find one—it was incredibly frustrating!
"Let's each act independently. We both know that in the current situation, we all need to face trials. 'No madness, no demonic path; no killing, no enlightenment'—this is the path we must take. Fortunately, we have now perfected ourselves and have a stronger foundation. If we don't find our own path in this immeasurable calamity, we may still be doomed. Don't forget the threat of Pangu and the Chaos Dao; they are our greatest enemies." Xiao Sheng vaguely understood that this immeasurable calamity would ultimately attract the attention of Pangu and the Chaos Dao. No matter what their schemes were, they would be drawn into the fray when the immeasurable calamity fully erupted.

Although Xiao Sheng wanted to contact Changshengzi at this moment, he ultimately gave up. Regardless of whether he lived or died in this battle, he shouldn't have too many concerns. Having attachments would create reservations, preventing him from fully committing himself to this slaughter. Without strength, even with Changshengzi as a backup plan, it would be useless. Pangu, who had transcended the river of time, could still kill him, and the Great Dao of Chaos could still threaten his life! No matter how much he cultivated or what path he took, he would ultimately have to face the karma of life, gods, and demons—a knot he couldn't escape.

Although Xiao Sheng was refining the treasure 'Sword of Termination' this time, using his own Dao Fruit as a furnace allowed him to advance his understanding of the Great Dao of Life further, and even touch upon the bottleneck of this world. It wasn't that he didn't want to break through, but rather that the chaos suppressed his realm. Even with greater insights into the path of the Great Dao of Life, it was impossible to reach another realm. This was not only due to insufficient accumulated essence and the inadequacy of his physical body, but also the suppression of this chaos!
The Great Dao of Chaos aims to use all living beings in the world, as well as the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, as its source to complete its own transformation. Whether this chaos is torn apart or it devours the origin of all living beings to complete a qualitative transformation, it is a path to another world for him. However, for Xiao Sheng, he needs more accumulation and needs to face immeasurable tribulations.

Everything has its dark side, and chaos is no exception. Does the Great Dao of Chaos not have a dark side? Could it be the immeasurable calamity, the calamity of heaven and earth? If so, it means that there will be a battle between myself and the Great Dao of Chaos. It will not be a battle of cause and effect, but a battle for survival. I will be the knife in the hand of that dark side, the knife that cuts down all enemies!

The Great Dao of Chaos desires transcendence and further progress, but its dark side likely holds a different view. Just like the Primordial World, even if the Great Dao of the Primordial World desires transcendence, further progress, or even to accelerate the eruption of the Immeasurable Calamity, the destruction of the Primordial World is not a concern for it. However, the origin of the Primordial World does not share this view; it is willing to pay any price to stabilize the order of the Primordial World.

"Perhaps I need to lend a helping hand to Chaos as before, but what does Chaos want? Is it sublimation or stability?" In an instant, a crazy idea arose in Xiao Sheng's mind: to directly intervene in the affairs of the Great Dao of Chaos! Perhaps the Great God Pangu knew something about this, but Xiao Sheng would not ask, because this was still a matter of cause and effect.

The very concept of cause and effect is the biggest limitation Xiao Sheng faces, and the force he least wants to confront. Every cause has its effect, and the immeasurable eons are the time to settle accounts for cause and effect. Therefore, it's best to avoid getting involved in cause and effect if possible. However, all of this is beyond his control, unless those three thousand chaotic gods and demons have no ulterior motives towards him, but that's simply impossible. Slaughter, death, destruction, and end—this is what he must face, an inescapable calamity, and perhaps also a test for his transcendence.

"Come on, let's go crazy, fight our way out, and use the blood of all living beings to complete our final transformation. The end of life is death, is the end. So let me use this 'Sword of the End' to finish everything!" As Xiao Sheng's words fell, the 'Sword of the End' in his hand emitted a series of sword cries, responding to Xiao Sheng's fighting spirit!
Ordinary chaotic beasts are not Xiao Sheng's target. To sharpen the 'Sword of the End', he naturally needs to use Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals. Those Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals who have transformed from chaotic beasts are Xiao Sheng's target. Only by targeting these creatures can he prevent the three thousand chaotic gods and demons from focusing their attention on him, thus giving him more room to maneuver. Otherwise, he would have to be wary of these creatures' sneak attacks.

"Come and fight! Let me see just how powerful you Chaos Beasts are after your transformation into Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals!" Soon, Xiao Sheng found a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal who had transformed from a Chaos Beast. Finding these guys wasn't too difficult, because they weren't among the Chaos Beasts killed in the entire prehistoric world. Perhaps their origins made them unwilling to attack their former kin, or perhaps, as everyone feared, they had the ability to control the Chaos Beast army, but the time wasn't right, so they hadn't made a move. However, these guys' avoidance of battle caused even more concern!
"He's gone mad! Has Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng lost his mind? He's actually heading straight for those Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals! Doesn't he know how dangerous this is? If our guess is right, these guys all have the ability to control armies of Chaos Beasts. This kind of challenge will directly put him in danger. We need to find a way to warn him!" When he saw Xiao Sheng pointing his sword at the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals who were born from Chaos Beasts, Ancestral Witch Dijiang became somewhat nervous. After all, Xiao Sheng was also their 'ally,' and if Xiao Sheng died, it would have a certain impact on them.

“Brother, you’re overthinking it. Since Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng dared to make a move, he must have his reasons and his confidence. Anyone paying attention will know that these guys are in the areas where Chaos Beasts are most concentrated. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Primordial World, there probably wouldn’t be many living beings left in the Primordial World by now. The army of Chaos Beasts is born to destroy; they frantically destroy everything. But they haven’t attacked those Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and that’s the biggest problem! Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng’s move to test them is the best choice. If we don’t know the identities of these guys, we’ll have to be wary of their sneak attacks, and we also need to know how strong they are!” Houtu Ancestral Witch sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes. With the abandonment of her primordial blood essence and the series of changes, Houtu Ancestral Witch also sensed the crisis and became slightly wary of her father god, Pangu.

Things shouldn't be such a coincidence. Moreover, all twelve Ancestral Witches gave up their bloodlines, and the Three Pure Ones also gave up their primordial spirits and the treasures of creation. If it were just one situation, it wouldn't be a problem. But all of this came together, which made her suspect that this was the work of the Father God Pangu. Only the Father God Pangu could influence all of them silently and make them give up all of their power without any complaints.

Of course, some of the great witches of the witch clan also abandoned their origins, which made Houtu, the ancestral witch, even more suspicious. However, there was no evidence, so she could only think about it in her heart and dared not speak it aloud, after all, this concerned the father god Pangu. Although she didn't know why, she could vaguely guess that it must be related to the Great Dao of Chaos.

Compared to the three thousand chaotic gods and demons, who could guess that Pangu had embarked on a mad path of cultivation, transcending the river of time, the Ancestral Witch Houtu couldn't see through the secrets behind it, but she remained vigilant. Losing the power of their bloodline, while granting them freedom, also plunged them into greater danger. The sneak attacks from so many chaotic beast armies left them in a predicament. They dared not unleash their full power, fearing a sudden attack from a Grand Luo Golden Immortal born from chaotic beasts—there were quite a few, perhaps even thousands. This was beyond their ability to withstand. Yet, under the onslaught of the chaotic beast army, the Ancestral Witch Houtu and her companions were also engaged in a fierce battle. Although they were all killing chaotic beasts and plundering their essence, Houtu Ancestral Witch discovered a problem: they were attacked by a larger army of chaotic beasts, as if they had an aura that attracted these chaotic beasts. The only thing she could think of was the Pangu bloodline. Even if the Pangu bloodline was severed, that aura would not dissipate in a short time.

In fact, Houtu Ancestral Witch also discovered that Xiao Sheng's target was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal who was close to them. Although it was also close to the current territory of the human race, it also showed that Xiao Sheng still cared about them. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to choose this Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal to provoke them.

"Houtu, do you think Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng can defeat this guy? If he were fighting alongside the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist, I believe he could kill this Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal. But since he's fighting alone, it's troublesome. If the opponent wants to leave, he can't stop him. And the countless chaotic beast armies are the biggest variable!" Ancestral Witch Dijiang shook his head, a hint of worry in his eyes. As the clan leader, he had to be responsible for everyone! Even if he wanted to help, they were all struggling to survive, forcing him to give up.

Although only a short time has passed, during this period, all the major races and civilizations in the prehistoric world have faced annihilation, as they have all been attacked by the army of chaotic beasts. Although the human race and the twelve ancestral witches are close to each other, they have lost contact. Even if they know each other's location, they dare not contact each other, after all, the siege by the army of chaotic beasts is too crazy.

The three thousand chaotic gods and demons were not unaware of this situation, nor were the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and a host of powerful beings from the primordial world. However, none of them could spare the time to intervene. Even the Styx Ancestor in the Blood Sea was under immense pressure at this moment. Although the Blood Sea was his territory, the chaotic beasts were not afraid at all and were even frantically hunting down the Asura clan, trying to break through the Blood Sea and enter the Netherworld.

Under the siege of the chaotic beast army, the weak races were directly annihilated. Throughout the entire prehistoric world, it's not an exaggeration to say that such small races and civilizations are destroyed every day. In particular, the demon race suffered heavy casualties due to its disorganized state, and no one was able to raise a banner to unite the demon race.

Just as Xiao Sheng issued the challenge, the expression of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan hardened, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Sheng, how dare you! There is no karmic connection between us. The immeasurable eons are for settling karmic debts. Why do you want to provoke new karma? What do you want to do?"

Although he was furious, this guy didn't make a move immediately, which startled Xiao Sheng and the other powerful figures. This was abnormal. They had already provoked him, so how could a proud Grand Luo Golden Immortal avoid a fight? Unless he had a reason to avoid the fight, or he was doing something that no one knew about.

"What cause and effect is has nothing to do with me. I only want to verify my own Great Dao. I want to see how much of a gap there is between myself and you top experts. Come and fight, don't disappoint me!" Xiao Sheng didn't care whether this guy was willing to fight him or not. As soon as he finished speaking, he directly swung his sword and charged forward.

In an instant, a pure and terrifying power of termination was unleashed, carrying the aura of annihilation and the aura of ending life, slashing towards the Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos. In Xiao Sheng's perception, this guy's aura was similar to his own, so he was probably cultivating the Great Dao of Life. However, this guy was not affected by his Great Dao of Life, which puzzled Xiao Sheng.

"The power of termination, indeed, the arrival of the immeasurable calamity will trigger the descent of the power of termination. Do you know that among the three thousand Great Daos, there is no power of termination, only the power of destruction? Termination only appears in the immeasurable calamity. I never expected that this power would fall upon you. A Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal who cultivates the Great Dao of Life has mastered the power of termination. What a joke!" Facing Xiao Sheng's attack, this Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal sighed softly! He was somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. In the Primordial World, he was powerless to change anything. Not only was he powerless, but everyone else was too. This was the reason for his sigh.
