"More and more Chaos Gods are resurrecting!"

Kunpeng frowned. According to their plan, they were to suppress these Chaos Gods and then refine them into innate treasures.

However, the battles continued one after another, the situation changed constantly, and many chaotic demons were fearless and undaunted, so it was impossible for them to suppress all the chaotic demons.

Some chaotic demons could not be suppressed in time and could only be killed directly!

This means that there is a possibility that those chaotic demons might be resurrected someday in the future.

After several major battles, they had killed more than a hundred Chaos Gods, but only about half of them were eventually refined into innate treasures by Xuanqing. Most of the Chaos Gods fell back into the Tribulation of Losing Self and accumulated their strength in the endless river of time and space, waiting for the next opportunity to revive.

Boom!

The power of the Great Dao swept across countless timelines, various divine abilities and rhythms permeated the air, immortal light illuminated the heavens, and the unwilling voices of the Chaos Gods echoed through the ages.

Between the birth and destruction of realms, endless killing intent manifests, threatening to bury eternity of time and space.

The great battle with the Chaos Demon God was both a calamity and a blessing. Both the saints, Dipankara and Ksitigarbha, broke through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm during the battle.

In addition, the existence of the Chaos Pearl, which was entrusted to the true spirits of Yu Jiang, Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng, and Pan Wang, also successfully condensed the Primordial Dao Fruit.

The boundless divine power erupted, shaking the past, present, and future. The essence blood of the demon gods scattered throughout the endless space and time further deterred those demon gods from crossing the line.

The lingering power of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man echoes through countless ages, as if to say that a world-shaking battle once took place here.

One by one, the physical bodies of the chaotic demon gods collapsed, their life essence flowed away, and their primordial spirits exploded like fireworks, leaving only the power of the Great Dao imprinted in the long river of time.

"This can't go on!"

Of the twenty or so Chaos Gods who were defeated but successfully suppressed by the Sages, only a dozen or so had the opportunity to refine them into supreme treasures, making them impossible to revive, or who could become the Sages' allies.

Although refining the essence of these Chaos Gods would allow each of the Primordial Saints present to possess a Primordial Treasure... compared to the total number of Chaos Gods, this is merely a drop in the ocean.

Suppressing the Chaos Gods is more difficult than killing them. Perhaps because the Order Gods and Tide Gods escaped during the previous great battle, those Chaos Gods now know that if they are not completely killed, their own essence will be refined into a supreme treasure.

It can never be recovered.

Therefore, in this great battle, several Chaos Gods, on the verge of destruction, resolutely chose to self-destruct their primordial spirits.

They would rather return to the river of time and space than be refined into a supreme treasure by Xuanqing, and even less would they want to be driven by the primordial saints who killed them.

This action also caused heavy losses to the saints of the prehistoric world. Tai Xuan, Yun Zhongzi, Zhen Yuanzi and others have already been resurrected through the Heavenly Dao or the Earthly Dao.

Although these saints can be resurrected continuously by drawing upon the origins of Heaven, Earth, and Man, they are still depleting the origins of the primordial world in the near future.

Looking at the more than twenty portions of Chaos Demon God Origin in front of him, Xuan Qing did not rush to refine them into supreme treasures, but instead thought about how to maximize the benefits.

He thought of the "Investiture of the Gods"!
This time, they killed sixty or seventy Chaos Demon Gods, but only gained more than twenty portions of their essence. This was because the battlefield was constantly changing, and after killing the physical bodies of the demon gods, it was difficult to seal their Dao Primordial Spirit in time.

If there were a top-tier Chaos Treasure, similar to the "Investiture of the Gods," that could spontaneously attract the primordial spirits of those demon gods who had lost their physical bodies, then they could fundamentally sever the possibility of those Chaos Demon Gods being resurrected.

According to Xuanqing's calculations, to achieve this, innate treasures are not enough; only chaotic spiritual treasures and chaotic supreme treasures offer a glimmer of hope.

They do possess several Chaos Treasures, but neither his "Refining Furnace" nor Fu Min's "Chaos Pearl," though each has its own unique uses, possesses this function.

The "Heaven-Opening Divine Axe" without its Axe Soul, and the incomplete "World-Destroying Millstone," needless to say, are supreme treasures primarily for offense and conquest.

Upon learning of Xuanqing's idea, Yuanshi Tianzun was also somewhat tempted and immediately asked, "Do you... have the confidence to refine a Chaos Treasure now?"

He was originally the most skilled weapon refiner in the prehistoric world, but as Xuanqing and Duobao respectively attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the Dao of Refinement and the Dao of Weapon Refinement, his weapon refinement skills could only rank third!

Xuanqing, apart from the Dao-refining furnace, a treasure for proving his Dao, had never refined any other Chaos Treasures.

Furthermore, the reason why the "Refining Furnace" could be successfully refined was because the materials used were all from the ancient treasure "Chaos Green Lotus".

Rather than refining, it's more accurate to say that the form of the "Chaotic Green Lotus" was changed using the methods of refining the Dao. This is quite different from refining a Chaotic Treasure out of thin air... After all, a Chaotic Treasure is born from the Great Dao, and there has never been a precedent of human refining it before!
"I'm fifty percent sure!"

Xuanqing answered truthfully: "In the end, the Chaos Treasure, like the Chaos Demon God and the Chaos Spiritual Root, is a manifestation of some kind of Great Dao Origin. However, its essence far surpasses that of ordinary Chaos Demon Gods!"

"During this time, I've been studying the Chaos Pearl and the Heaven-Opening Axe, and I've gained a relatively clear understanding of the evolution process of Chaos Treasures!"

"However, the Dao essence of ordinary demon gods is simply insufficient to refine Chaos Treasures!"

Even when not engaged in a major battle with the Chaos Demon God, Xuanqing was not idle. Besides refining supreme treasures, he also borrowed Chaos Supreme Treasures from the Three Pure Ones and Fumin, and through the Great Dao of Refining, he gained insight into the profound principles of the Great Dao within them.

Humans follow the Earth, the Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows Nature. Although there are thousands of paths to cultivation, their essence is to learn from Heaven, Earth, and the Universe.

Xuanqing achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal status through refining the Dao. In order to refine all the Daos, he first had to analyze all the Daos, then understand the essence of all the Daos in the world, and then use his own Great Dao to evolve those Daos.

This is the core of the Dao of Refinement!

Therefore, the best reference for him to refine the Chaos Treasures was the several Chaos Treasures that were nurtured by the power of the Great Dao in the Chaos Universe.

Now, he has studied or come into contact with all five Chaos Treasures nurtured by the power of the Great Dao, which is the source of his confidence in refining Chaos Treasures.

The "Chaotic Green Lotus," symbolizing "creation," has now become his treasure for proving the Dao, the "Refining Furnace," which itself possesses the ability to encompass all Dao.

Although the "Godly Axe of Creation," which symbolizes "opening up," is missing its axe spirit, he has come to understand the mysteries of the way of opening up through continuous research.

The "Chaos Pearl," symbolizing "chaos," contains a chaotic universe within it, making it even more mysterious and possessing the potential to evolve into a primordial world.

Of course, to achieve that, His master, Fumin, needs to master the Three Thousand Great Laws, that is, to transform his own Great Law into the Great Law General Outline, reaching the strength of Pangu when he created the world and proved his Dao.

External things are ultimately just aids.

If he could truly reach that level, with the help of the "Chaos Pearl," Fumin's creation of the world might be easier than Pangu's in the past.

In addition, there is the "World-Destroying Millstone," which symbolizes "the destruction of the world." It can continuously absorb the calamity energy, allowing itself to briefly transcend the level of the Chaos Treasure.

If the immeasurable calamity were to descend, the complete "Great Millstone of Annihilation" would unleash power capable of obliterating the river of time and space and the chaotic universe.

As for the "Creation Jade Disc"...

Although it records the Three Thousand Great Daos, its power is far inferior to the other supreme treasures.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Duobao frowned and said, "Junior Brother Xuanqing, didn't you say that those demonic origins don't meet the requirements for refining Chaos Treasures?"

Xuan Qing smiled knowingly: "We may not be able to achieve it now, but we might be able to in the future!"

He dared to say he was 50% confident, which meant he already had a general idea.

Before he finished speaking, he directly took out a copy of the Chaos Demon God's Origin from the "Netherworld Geomantic Map," which was the Devouring Demon God that he had killed earlier!
The characteristic of the Devouring Demon God is that it can devour all kinds of power, even the laws of the Great Dao.

If the power of the origin of other Chaos Gods is used to strengthen the power of the Devouring God, it may be possible to use it to refine Chaos Treasures.

Daoist Duobao suddenly realized.

He achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the art of crafting, even refining his own physical body into a supreme innate treasure. Upon witnessing the Devouring Demon God's essence, he experienced a sudden enlightenment, instantly understanding Xuan Qing's intentions. The Primordial Heavenly Venerable also seemed thoughtful, slowly saying, "That's a good idea, but be careful of being devoured by the Devouring Demon God!"

If the Great Dao of Devouring Demon God becomes stronger, it might break free from Xuan Qing's control.

He had to give him some instructions first!
"I know what's going on!"

Xuan Qing nodded: "In fact, I didn't plan to do it all at once. Instead, I planned to cut the origin of the Devouring Demon God into several parts, and then devour the origins of other demon gods separately. After he assimilated the origins of the other demon gods, he would use the power of refining the Dao to refine them into a Chaos Treasure!"

The origin of a Chaos Treasure is roughly equivalent to that of a Chaos Demon God, while the origin of a Chaos Supreme Treasure is comparable to that of several Chaos Demon Gods.

"Wonderful!"

Daoist Duobao's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of this method when I was refining weapons?"

For a moment, he seemed to have found a way to improve his Dao. His original body had been difficult to improve since he refined it into the innate treasure "Multi-Treasure Pagoda". Ordinary methods were useless.

However, if he keeps refining treasures and then connects them with formations or other means, he might be able to rapidly improve his strength in a short period of time.

Just like the "Slaying Saint Sword Formation", a single piece might be just a primordial treasure, but when five treasures are linked together through the formation diagram, they can unleash power that is no less than that of a chaotic spiritual treasure!

He refined his physical body into a thirty-six-story pagoda, which corresponded to the number of the Heavenly Dipper. Logically, each floor could house a supreme innate treasure.

"That's sloppy!"

At this moment, Daoist Duobao suddenly felt a pang of regret: "There are three thousand Great Daos, how can thirty-six layers be enough? I should have directly refined it to three thousand layers back then!"

"No, there's also the Great Dao of Acquired Realm. If I had known this earlier, I should have refined ten thousand layers!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior Brother Duobao, one must take things one step at a time! Moreover, the number of Chaos Gods nurtured by the Chaos Universe is limited. Looking across the entire Chaos Realm, there aren't that many Chaos Gods for you to refine! If you really have this idea, you might as well cultivate the Devouring Dao and improve your foundation first!"

With Duobao Daoren's current strength, he can only manipulate five or six supreme treasures at most at one time!

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!
If one were to forcibly manipulate more than a dozen innate treasures, it might backfire and damage one's own Dao!
"That's true!"

Daoist Duobao smiled slightly and went to refine magic weapons. In this great battle, he also successfully suppressed the primordial spirit of a Chaos Demon God.

Xuanqing, after activating the "Refining Furnace," successively refined more than a dozen innate treasures. After ensuring that each of the saints of the prehistoric world had one, he began to use the essence of other demon gods to feed and devour the demon gods!
He was already very skilled at refining innate treasures, and even refining two or three at the same time would not affect his comprehension of the Great Dao within them.

After an unknown period of time, Xuanqing realized that the essence of the devoured demon gods had changed after absorbing the origins of the twelve Chaos Demon Gods.

This change is like the transformation from a Golden Immortal to a Taiyi Golden Immortal; the level of life remains unchanged, but one's own Great Dao breaks through its original shackles.

"This is also a path with great potential!"

Xuan Qing sighed inwardly, "If I could devour the Three Thousand Great Daos, I might be able to rival Pangu! It's a pity that the strength of the Devouring Demon God is somewhat weak!"

The Devouring Demon God is quite powerful, but its methods are too one-sided. Its speed, offensive techniques, and binding and suppressing abilities are all lacking!
Therefore, it is difficult to kill a Chaos Demon God as quickly as Xuanqing or Pangu!
after all……

The Chaos Demon God isn't stupid!
Aside from the Great Calamity of Creation, when one is affected by the power of the Great Dao.

Normally, if they can't win, wouldn't they just retreat into the depths of chaos?

Boom!

As Xuanqing threw a piece of Chaos Immortal Gold and a massive amount of Cosmic River Gold Sand into the "Refining Furnace," terrifying power instantly spread across endless space and time.

The myriad divine flames within the furnace converged, defying the primordial chaos, transforming into chaotic true fire, and began to smelt immortal metal. A golden divine ranking list immediately began to take shape.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Qing had a thought, and the Great Dao Origin of Devouring Demon God was divided into forty-nine parts, which were then slowly integrated into the embryonic form of the Golden List.

The river of time and space trembled, and the will of chaos manifested, seemingly forbidding anyone from refining a supreme treasure of chaos.

Rumble!
The power of the Great Dao transformed into divine lightning and fell, intending to kill Xuan Qing and destroy the spiritual treasure. Upon seeing this, the Three Pure Ones used various means to protect Xuan Qing.

The other sages were not idle either.

"Auspicious Clouds Over All Heavens!"

"The Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth!"

"Chaos Pearl!"

"The Precious Mirror of the Universe!"

All the saints who possessed defensive treasures unleashed them, and their dazzling divine radiance instantly collided with the divine lightning.

"Does the Great Dao not approve?"

Xuan Qing frowned. Before him, only the Great Dao could evolve Chaos Treasures, and now, his actions were undoubtedly challenging the authority of the Great Dao.

It's understandable that the Great Way doesn't approve of it.

As time passed, the "Great Void Divine Ranking" slowly took shape, but due to the obstruction of the Great Dao, its aura remained at the level of a half-step Chaos Supreme Treasure.

"not enough!"

Xuanqing, however, was somewhat unwilling.

It was a close call, and the difference would have been worlds apart. Without becoming a supreme treasure of chaos, it would have been impossible to bind the primordial spirit of the chaotic demon god, and all the previous efforts would have been in vain!
"Does it not meet the standards of the Great Dao?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also frowned, but suddenly, looking at the "Celebratory Clouds of All Heavens" and the "Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth," a thought struck him: "This should also be considered as the Great Dao's recognition!"

Although Pangu's creation of the world was a calamity of chaos in the universe, it also allowed the Great Dao to bestow merits, which were referred to by the sages as the merits of creation.

In essence, this power of merit is stronger than the merit of the Heavenly Way, symbolizing the recognition of the Great Way.

The Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches divided up 50% of it, and another 20% was absorbed into the universe. When Houtu was about to die and disappear completely, 10% of it manifested on its own, giving Houtu a glimmer of hope.

The remaining 30% was transformed, through a stroke of luck, into a rare celestial treasure and two acquired treasures containing supreme divine power.

"go with!"

With a thought, the Primordial Celestial Venerable caused the "Celebratory Clouds of All Heavens" to merge into the "Golden List of the Great Void." At this moment, perhaps only the merit bestowed by the Great Dao could quell the Great Dao's wrath and allow the "Golden List of the Great Void" to be successfully born.

after all……

The trouble should end it!
Boom!

As the Great Dao's merits merged, the endless divine lightning also dissipated. In just a moment, the aura of the Chaos Treasure spread across countless timelines.

The Golden List of the Void has been completed!
