I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1447 Henggu
Chapter 1427 Eternal Time

The power of termination was something even this Primordial Golden Immortal desired, but unfortunately, his life essence and his own instincts had merged together, forming a seemingly unrelated rule of the Great Dao of Life. This mutated rule made it extremely difficult for him to advance further. Not only him, but all the other Primordial Golden Immortals who came from Chaos Beasts were in the same situation. It was as if this power was binding their cultivation, and the Primordial World was the key to their breakthrough, their opportunity to advance!
Why did this happen? These guys also doubted the Chaos Dao. Like the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, their first thought was that the Chaos Dao was restricting them, that the rules were limiting them. But they quickly gave up on this idea, as it wouldn't benefit the Chaos Dao either. Perhaps it was because of their origins, or perhaps it was related to the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons!

These Primordial Golden Immortals were comparable in number to the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons, leading them to suspect that they were born to replace the Chaos Gods and Demons. But why hadn't they replaced the Life Gods and Demons? Could it be due to Xiao Sheng's existence? However, the same person who cultivated the Great Dao of Reincarnation hadn't replaced the Reincarnation Gods and Demons either. This gave them a new guess: perhaps the Great Dao of Chaos would only allow them to take their place after the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons were destroyed. Perhaps at that time, there would be no other living beings in this Chaos World, only Chaos Beasts!
Did the Great Dao of Chaos prevent the chaotic beasts from destroying the world? No, it didn't. The Great Dao of Chaos simply let them be. Those mindless chaotic beasts didn't realize that within their very being lay a soul imprint that prevented the destruction of the chaotic world. However, those Primordial Golden Immortals who forged their own paths felt this imprint within themselves. They could contend with three thousand chaotic gods and demons, but they couldn't destroy their own Great Thousand Worlds!

Compared to ordinary chaotic beasts, these transformed and evolved Grand Luo Golden Immortals were more constrained, which led to more speculation in their minds. They did consider cooperation, but no matter how they tried, they could not get any help. The power of the rules firmly trapped them.

The three thousand chaotic gods and demons hoped for the arrival of the immeasurable calamity. In fact, these Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals who had already transformed and evolved hoped for this day to come even more. They wanted to know where the power that bound them came from, why it was born, why they were born, and whether this chaotic world would become a paradise for chaotic beasts.

"A joke! In your eyes, this is a joke, but in my heart, this is my Dao. The end of life is death, is the end. To forge the Sword of Ending as a guardian weapon using the Great Dao of Life is perfectly normal. It's just that its birth time was wrong, needlessly tainted by karma. Perhaps this is fate!" Xiao Sheng responded disdainfully, completely unconcerned by the man's words. On the contrary, if given the chance, Xiao Sheng even wanted to reverse the 'Sword of Ending' to see if he could forge it into another treasure of life, or even a treasure of creation. However, this was almost impossible, as he would face immeasurable calamities. By the time he had the strength to reverse his origin, the 'Sword of Ending' would already be tainted with countless killing tribulations.

"The will of Heaven? What is the will of Heaven? Are you referring to the will of the Chaos Dao, or the will of the Primordial World? Even they cannot bind us, nor can they sever our path of cultivation. I believe you have already felt the suppression from the rules. If we want to advance further, we need to break free from the cage of this world!"

"Perhaps this is a cage in your heart, but in my heart it is a test for me. Without experiencing hardship, how can one break through one's own bottleneck? If you can't break through, it only means you are too weak. Do you really think the deaths of three thousand chaotic gods and demons were in vain? Do you think my repeated destruction of my physical body was also for nothing? There is a saying that one must be destroyed before one can be rebuilt. Come and fight! Let me see your strength. Aren't you also interested in my life essence? Then let us fight to the death! The dead will become the nourishment for the victor, the foundation for his further advancement!"

Xiao Sheng's words were cruel, but they stirred up a tidal wave in the heart of this Grand Luo Golden Immortal. His expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Fine, I agree. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Heng Gu, and I hope to be eternally immortal!"

"My name is Xiao Sheng. I come from the primordial world and am a primordial deity. I want to forge my own path to heaven!"

When Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu finished their conversation, everyone watching the battle gasped in shock, stunned by their madness. Even the Chaos Dao itself was shocked; this was beyond its imagination. The battle between these two was no longer a simple killing, but a true struggle for the Dao.

"These two are madmen! It's one thing for Xiao Sheng to be crazy, but how can 'Henggu' be so crazy? Doesn't he know how dangerous this is? If he dies, it might affect us all." At this moment, the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals who were born from Chaos Beasts panicked. They were worried that if 'Henggu' died, it would ruin their opportunities.

"No, we can't say that entirely. In fact, if 'Eternal Ancestor' dies, we can indirectly confirm that guess: was our birth a conspiracy, or are we just pawns in someone else's game? At the same time, I also want to know what his death will be like. After all, what died before were just our clones, not our true selves! This time is different. 'Eternal Ancestor' and Xiao Sheng have reached a consensus that they will fight with everything they have."

“Alright, since you put it that way, then we’ll leave it alone and use ‘Eternal’s’ life to pave the way for our next stage of cultivation, so that we can see the path ahead more clearly and go further on the path of cultivation.”

"Why do you all think 'Eternal Age' is doomed to defeat? You all want to see him die. He can't defeat Xiao Sheng, devour Xiao Sheng's essence, complete his own transformation and evolution, and forge his own path to the Great Dao!"

"Tianji, are you daydreaming? You don't think that the 'Sword of Termination' in Xiao Sheng's hand is just for show, do you? That is the power of termination. Even the weakest Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal could kill a powerful enemy at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level if he wielded it. Not to mention that Xiao Sheng has also walked his own path of the Great Dao. If it weren't for the constraints of the world, he would probably have reached an even higher level."

"Gentlemen, aren't you all focusing on the wrong thing? Whether it's Xiao Sheng or 'Eternal Age,' they're just human. Haven't you considered Xiao Sheng's earlier words? The deaths of the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons weren't in vain. Destruction and rebirth is a path. If we could also experience death and return to the state of Chaos Beasts, could we also complete such a transformation and evolution?" "Heh, Starry Sky, are you joking? Do we have that kind of time? We're facing immeasurable calamity. After death, let alone how long it would take to cultivate back to the state of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, we'd likely become targets immediately. Don't you think the three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons aren't eyeing us? Besides, how can you guarantee that we can return to the state of Chaos Beasts after death?"

"Alright, stop arguing. It's pointless. If Xiao Sheng had said these words before the immeasurable calamity, we would still have a chance and be able to fight back. But during the immeasurable calamity, it's almost a dead end with no hope of survival."

"It's hard to put it that way. Perhaps the immeasurable eons are also an opportunity. As long as you have confidence, it's possible. Everything depends on everyone's own thoughts. After all, the path is there, and whether you can walk it depends on your own strength. Not everyone will wait for the final moment to arrive. We never know what mission we are carrying!"

The last sentence was rather heavy, especially for these Primordial Golden Immortals who were born from chaotic beasts. They all knew their own situation; that mark was their greatest threat. Even its quiet presence made them shudder and filled them with fear. So, as soon as those words were spoken, the scene fell silent instantly.

These Primordial Golden Immortals were all pondering this question: how should they break out of this predicament? Xiao Sheng approached Heng Gu and initiated the Dao Competition mode. Should they do the same? Or could they try to reshape their true forms, abandoning their physical bodies and recreating them? The Chaos Beast was just one option; there were other options as well!

At this moment, countless thoughts surfaced in the minds of these Grand Luo Immortals. They were all thinking about what would be most advantageous for them and how to make themselves the last one to laugh in this immeasurable calamity. However, no matter how they thought about it, they could not find a way to break the deadlock. Letting go might be their only choice. However, letting go of their physical bodies and their strength was a great pressure for them. Not everyone could do this!
"Either erupt in silence or die in silence!" This saying couldn't be more fitting for those Primordial Golden Immortals. Now they either erupt and take everything into their own hands, or they follow the immeasurable calamity step by step toward death, or toward that unknown fate, since they know nothing about what lies ahead.

Persuasion? No, that's impossible. Every Grand Luo Golden Immortal who has evolved from a Chaos Beast has their own Dao. They are unwilling to accept it, so persuasion is useless. As long as they are moved, they will do it without you having to tell them. That's their nature. Even if they break free from the shackles of the Chaos Beast, their hearts are still so fierce!
Of course, this is not absolute. Faced with such a situation, some people still hesitated. They did not want to take risks or gamble their lives on an unknown future, so they remained silent and chose to wait quietly for everything to end. However, there were others who chose to take a gamble.

As silence descended, the atmosphere gradually dissipated, and no one continued the exchange. Everyone quietly departed, but the meeting had left with profound impact and shock. Their attention shifted from Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu to their own plans.

Thus, among these Chaos Beast-born Grand Luo Golden Immortals, they split into small groups. Based on their individual choices, they made different decisions. Some wanted to take a gamble and try to reshape their true bodies as Xiao Sheng had suggested. Some wanted to return to the Chaos Beast state, explore the power of their own bloodline, and forge a new path. Others chose to reshape the bodies of other races. After all, some worried that if they returned to the Chaos Beast state, their wisdom would be suppressed by the beast's instincts, causing them to lose their rationality, and it would take an unknown amount of time to return.

Now that the immeasurable calamity has erupted, they don't have much time to waste. So those who dare to choose the Chaos Beasts are all stubborn guys, or even guys who are extremely confident in their own power. Because of this, these Chaos Beast-born Grand Luo Golden Immortals have scattered. Some of them have gradually left the Primordial World and returned to Chaos. After all, the Primordial World is too dangerous, which makes them worried.

But is chaos safe? Perhaps some people still respect the Great Dao of Chaos, after all, they have been protected by the Great Dao of Chaos for countless years, so it is reasonable for them to choose to reshape their true forms in the chaos!
However, the great battle between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu had already broken out. Neither side was testing each other. Since it was a battle for the Dao, they would go all out. Moreover, they were worried that others would reap the benefits. After all, the prehistoric world had long lost its order. Even with the prehistoric Dao as nourishment, the prehistoric world was still very fragile and could not withstand the storms.

The clash between Xiao Sheng and Heng Gu wasn't the direct confrontation everyone expected. Instead, they chose to use their respective Daos of Life to fight, seeking to gain what they wanted from each other's cultivation and insights, and ultimately comprehend more of the Daos of Life. Both of them harbored a doubt: their current stagnation wasn't due to a problem with themselves, but rather to the limitations imposed by Chaos. They believed that breaking through this limitation would allow them to achieve rebirth.

Breaking free from the world's complete understanding is no easy feat. The best option is still mutual confrontation, to comprehend new life essences in battle, and to forge one's own path. Streams of life energy continuously bloomed during their battle, influencing all living beings in heaven and earth, and also impacting the primordial world, after all, this battle was fought within the primordial world.

Xiao Sheng's Dao and Heng Gu's Dao were constantly colliding, and gradually both sides gained new insights into the essence of life. However, it was not an easy thing to grasp this newfound insight. Neither of them was able to stabilize it in their own sea of ​​consciousness, or even solidify it directly within themselves. This shocked them both and also made them a little worried!
