The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 146: The Final Battle Begins, the First Great Divine Power Master Falls

Unfortunately, reality doesn't change according to their wishes.

Early the next morning, both the people of Xiqi and the Shang army were awakened by the rumbling sound from the sky. When they went out to see what was happening, they found that the battle of the Investiture of the Gods had already begun.

Due to the large number of people, Zhou Chen divided all the cultivators into factions to ensure fairness.

But these guys don't follow the factions he's divided into; it's basically a free-for-all.

The races involved in this battle are the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Demon, and Monster races. Apart from the powerful beings of each race who did not participate, most of the cultivators above the Great Luo Realm in the prehistoric world are on the battlefield.

This was a plan to quickly conclude the Investiture of the Gods war, and Zhou Chen had no particular thoughts about it, so he decided to let things take their course.

Although the battlefield was clearly visible, it was also a chaotic scene. The Dragon Clan fought the Qilin Clan, then joined forces with the Qilin Clan to attack the Demon Clan and the Phoenix Clan, and then went to fight the Demon Clan.

The same applies to other races; one second they might be opponents, but the next they could become allies, making the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods a chaotic mess.

Before long, many had perished on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods. It was clear that this was the last battle of the Investiture of the Gods. Xuan Du, Zhen Yuanzi, Antarctic Immortal, Duobao and others could no longer sit still. They immediately flew into the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods. Jingwei was also preparing to follow, but an invisible energy stopped her, or rather, stopped her Ten Fierce Spiritual Treasures.

This was Zhou Chen's masterpiece. He had crafted the Ten Ferocious Spiritual Treasures, and they were also connected to him. If someone were to enter with the Ten Ferocious Spiritual Treasures, no one else would stand a chance, which would be extremely unfair.

"Hmph, fine, I won't go in then." Jingwei snorted coldly and refused to go in. She believed that even without participating in the Investiture of the Gods, she would still obtain a decent divine position.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor, the Ancestor, and her Master all doted on her. In the prehistoric world, strength is not the only factor; human relationships and social skills also matter.

Just after Duobao and the others entered the Investiture of the Gods battlefield, other powerful beings from the prehistoric world also entered the arena, including the two former saints Jieyin and Zhunti, Kunpeng, Styx, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and so on, together concluding the Investiture of the Gods war.

After everyone entered, they bowed to each other, and without saying much, they immediately started fighting.

Those who have a good relationship will help each other or form a formation to deal with the opponent's attack.

Among them, the demon race was the most outstanding. Donghuang Taiyi and the demon emperor Jun, together with many quasi-saint level experts of the demon race, formed the Zhou Tian Star Array, which directly covered an area and started a barrage of attacks.

Ordinary quasi-saints and weak powerful cultivators had no chance to resist under such an attack and were taken down in one fell swoop.

Dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and demons followed suit, forming corresponding formations and beginning their battles.

Meanwhile, the great supernatural beings in the primordial world also sought out their opponents and began a great war.

Demon Ancestor Luo Hou stood on a twelfth-petaled black lotus, wielding a god-slaying spear, and engaged in a fierce battle with two ancient ancestors from the primordial era.

If Honghuang hadn't advanced, these people would have entered the Hunyuan Realm. After all, the laws they controlled had reached the standard of Honghuang's Hunyuan Realm before their advancement. But after Honghuang merged into Zhou Chen's world, the Hunyuan Realm would be a hopeless situation for them in this lifetime!
It's practically impossible to achieve, so many people have given up. It's just too difficult. They'd rather slowly increase their combat power, cultivate their own Dao, improve their combat abilities, and enter the War of Gods to obtain a divine position and embark on a different kind of cultivation path.

The struggle between the three was something no one else could interfere with, not even the patriarchs of the three clans of the same era: the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Ancestral Qilin.

Only the demon race, which had already formed the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, could resist the power of the Chaos Bell to some extent.

The other cultivators were either killed or injured upon contact, and dared not approach the battlefield of the three. They could only stand aside and watch, turning from participants into onlookers. This greatly discouraged many proud and arrogant powerful figures.

But we can't just sit here and watch the show, can we? This is the War of the Gods, which concerns the future divine positions we will hold. This is the most important thing.

This matter could make them set aside their dignity, abandon everything, and fight with all their might.

Soon, the powerful figures spontaneously united, forming ranks or battle formations, creating various forces that continued to enter the battlefield.

Luo Hou and the other two were not too surprised, because there were countless capable people in the prehistoric world. Although they were basically unmatched among the great powers of the prehistoric world, they would also be in trouble if the other great powers united.

In particular, the three senior disciples of the three sects of Ren, Chan, and Jie formed a formation using the Three Powers Formation, summoning the Taiqing Divine Thunder, Yuqing Divine Thunder, and Shangqing Divine Thunder. The three types of divine thunder merged into one, with a hint of the Dutian Divine Thunder mixed in.

The Heavenly Thunder is the supreme divine thunder that created the heavens and earth, capable of splitting open the chaotic void and harming the Chaos Gods. Although they are very strong, they are still somewhat inferior to the Chaos Gods.

This lightning, containing a trace of the Heavenly Thunder, could also bring them a great deal of danger.

After the group dodged, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou took the lead, thrusting the God-Slaying Spear straight at the three of them. An attack filled with destructive intent crashed down on Duobao and his companions.

The three were not alarmed. Master Xuandu smiled slightly and directly threw out an array diagram.

After the array diagram left Grand Master Xuandu's hands, it grew larger in the wind.

A massive array appeared above the battlefield, its colors a chaotic yin and yang, radiating countless rays of light and auspicious colors. The array revealed the image of "the Great Dao without limit," encompassing the process of the universe's evolution from Wuji to Taiji, from Taiji to Yin and Yang, from Yin and Yang to the Three Powers, from the Three Powers to the Four Symbols, from the Four Symbols to the Five Elements, from the Five Elements to the Six Harmonies, from the Six Harmonies to the Seven Stars, from the Seven Stars to the Eight Trigrams, and from the Eight Trigrams to the Nine Palaces.

In addition, the array is surrounded by "Great Dao Prophecy", and "Heavenly Dao Talisman" is hidden inside the array. Five-colored rays of light illuminate the mountains and rivers, and nine-colored auspicious energy shakes the heavens and the universe.

This treasure is none other than the Taiji Diagram, the creation treasure of the Five Spirits Mysterious Old Lord of the Great Purity and Morality.

The Tai Chi symbol possesses the power to pacify earth, water, fire, and wind; the ability to transform yin and yang and the five elements; the power to discern the mysteries of the heavenly way; and the power to encompass all things in the universe.

Just as everyone was marveling at the Tai Chi diagram, the enormous Tai Chi diagram instantly transformed into a gigantic golden bridge, connecting heaven and earth.

This is the most powerful manifestation of the innate treasure, the Taiji Diagram, which can transform into a white jade bridge, connecting the divine might of Heaven and annihilating all invading enemies.

It can also transform countless spaces and times into primordial chaos, subduing countless treasures and weapons. Its mysteries are infinite and its creation boundless; it can neutralize all attacks and ignore any defense.

Although the Investiture of the Gods battlefield lacks a Heavenly Dao, it can still draw upon the energy of the world within it for its own use. While not as powerful as the Heavenly Dao, it is still formidable, being a vast and immense world. The Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's attack, upon striking the golden bridge, was quickly deflected without causing any damage.

Immediately, Jinqiao retaliated with the same energy, striking Luo Hou.

Luo Hou smiled slightly, not caring, and swept out the God-Slaying Spear. An energy of the same level collided and merged with it, and finally disappeared.

Qiankun Wuxing and the other two were also somewhat amazed. Although they had witnessed the power of this innate treasure during the Demonic Path War, the fact that a junior could wield it with such power was truly astonishing.

Indeed, talented people emerge in every generation!
The three of them did not dare to be careless. In addition to fighting against each other, they also attacked Duobao and the others from time to time. However, because of the Taiji Diagram, it was as if the three of them were hiding in an extremely sturdy tortoise shell, making them invincible.

Although they were undefeated, they were still somewhat lacking in ability to inflict damage on Luo Hou and his group.

Finally, even the Old Man of the South Pole couldn't resist any longer and pulled out an ancient banner from his robes.

When the ancient banner appeared, countless rays of light pierced the azure sky, and thousands of auspicious colors covered the heavens, exuding an aura of dominance and displaying an unparalleled majesty.

The banner emanated a powerful aura of divine energy, seemingly intent on destroying chaos and recreating the world. The banner itself displayed a supreme image of Pangu, the great god, wielding the axe that split the heavens and earth.

Mysterious prophecies swirled around the banner, while celestial talismans were subtly revealed within. Five-colored rays of light illuminated the heavens, and the divine might of Pangu shook the universe.

This was none other than the Pangu Banner, the most precious treasure of the Chan Sect. As soon as the Pangu Banner appeared, the expressions of Luo Hou and the other two changed.

The Pangu Banner possesses the power to tear apart the primordial chaos, shatter the heavens and spacetime, embody the boundless Dao of creation, govern the mysteries of all laws, and open up the universe. It can also manipulate the power of heaven and earth. Its offensive and creative abilities rank first in the Heavenly Dao.

Because the power of the Pangu Banner was so great, even the immortal Heavenly Saint was extremely wary of it.

Although their combat power has reached the Hunyuan level, they are ultimately not Heavenly Dao Saints. In the prehistoric world, they are no match for Heavenly Dao Saints. How could they remain indifferent to such a treasure that even Heavenly Dao Saints fear?
When the Pangu Banner appeared, the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods fell silent. Everyone was somewhat wary of this supreme treasure, even the demon clan's Donghuang Taiyi.

Although he possesses the Chaos Bell, one of the three great treasures of creation, and is not afraid of the Pangu Banner held by the Antarctic Immortal, he is ultimately just a human being. If the Antarctic Immortal attacks everyone indiscriminately, even with the Chaos Bell, he can only protect a portion of them, while the rest will be defeated or even perish by the Pangu Banner in the Antarctic Immortal's hand.

The Chaos Bell was formed from the handle of the Heaven-Opening Axe. It possesses the power to suppress the "Primordial World", the power to reverse the "spacetime of all heavens", the power to evolve the "mysteries of the Heavenly Dao", and the power to refine the elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind".

Its shape is a chaotic dark yellow, with the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire and wind surrounding its exterior, while mountains, rivers and the myriad races of the primordial world are hidden within its interior. Five-colored rays of light illuminate the heavens, and the holy might of chaos shakes the universe.

The Chaos Bell possesses infinitely mysterious and boundless power; it can imprison time, suppress space, deflect attacks from any treasures or divine weapons, and ignore all supernatural powers and spells, combining offense and defense. It also has the ability to open up new worlds.

Among the treasures created by creation, the Chaos Bell is slightly inferior to the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram in certain aspects due to its comprehensive functions. It is not as good as the Taiji Diagram in defense and not as good as the Pangu Banner in attack. Although it is undeniably a very strong treasure, if it were to fight against the other two treasures, it might not be able to suppress the other two treasures in the Chaos Bell.

Ignoring everyone else, Donghuang Taiyi directly used the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array to combine the demon race's attacks into one, unleashing the maximum power of the Chaos Bell.

"when!"

The bell tolled loudly, the universe shone brightly, the heavens and earth lost their color, and the universe trembled, revealing the power of the innate treasure without a doubt.

A visible wave of sound swept outwards.

The Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner are mostly single-target attacks, but the Chaos Bell is different. In addition to being used to smash people, the sound waves it emits are area-of-effect attacks. As long as someone is not protected by its master, it will attack everyone in the area reached by the sound waves.

Many powerful beings from the primordial era also resisted the sound waves from the chaos.

The Antarctic Immortal smiled slightly, and with a wave of the Pangu Banner, countless Heaven-Opening Blades flew towards the sound waves. Not only that, but many more flew in all directions.

They also began attacking everyone on the battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods.

Daoist Duobao smiled slightly and presented a small ruler, which was the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

Without saying much, he swung his small ruler, unleashing streaks of sword energy towards the crowd.

Zhen Yuanzi also activated the Earth Book Formation. Although it cannot be compared with the one in the prehistoric world, its defense is still among the best.

Jieyin and Zhunti used the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit to protect themselves, and then used the remaining spiritual treasures to attack the others.

The Styx Ancestor sat atop the twelve-petaled red lotus, while Yuan Tu and Abi constantly moved between them.

Kunpeng, the former demon master of the demon race, was in a worse situation. Because he betrayed the demon race during the war between the demons and the sorcerers, he was not accepted by the demon race and did not have any powerful spiritual treasures to protect him.

The only suitable weapon for him was the Demon Master Palace he had crafted himself, but after only a short time, the Demon Master Palace was already in ruins and could not cope with the current situation at all. However, he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and forcefully resist.

When the sound waves from the Chaos Bell touched the Demon Master's Palace, they destroyed it. Kunpeng was terrified by the subsequent attacks.

He unleashed all his innate spiritual treasures to defend against the attacks, but unfortunately, these innate spiritual treasures were of too low quality and were destroyed the moment they touched the attack.

Kunpeng had no choice but to transform into its true form. A roc that blotted out the sky appeared, and it tried to escape, but unfortunately, the attack was too fast.

The battlefield had grown so large, and it was a battle between powerful beings from the primordial era, making them practically sitting ducks. So, everyone stopped attacking others and focused all their attacks on the Kunpeng in the sky.

Kunpeng's eyes were bloodshot, and before he could react, numerous attacks arrived in an instant, striking Kunpeng's true form directly.

Before he could even scream, the second wave of attacks arrived, followed by the third. After the third wave wiped him out, everyone stopped attacking in unison, because Kunpeng's aura had vanished. He was the first among the great supernatural beings of the primordial world to fall.
