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

Chapter 98 Zhou Chen makes his move: Heavenly Mirror and Universe Cauldron!

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao of the two worlds are also clashing violently, constantly battling above the battlefield.

Because the Heavenly Dao of the other world had conquered other worlds, its origin was slightly stronger than that of the Primordial World. Fortunately, the Primordial World had Hongjun Daozu, a saint who had achieved the Dao, otherwise it might not have been a match for the Heavenly Dao of the other world.

Zhou Chen could see that, for some unknown reason, the Heavenly Dao of the other world had already developed a trace of consciousness.

With consciousness comes selfish desires, and the Way of Heaven is no longer so pure, no longer so selflessly consuming its own essence to operate the entire world.

Instead, it will arbitrarily change the development of the world and influence the will of all living beings according to its own selfish desires.

While annexing other worlds can strengthen another world, in the long run, the beings in that other world will become puppets of the Heavenly Dao, killing machines.

This trend is already emerging in the other world, as can be seen from the blood-red appearance of the Heavenly Dao in that other world.

The Way of Heaven is a combination of the will of all living beings and the rules of the world. If the Way of Heaven is selfish and leads all living beings to slaughter living beings and devour the world, it will cause all living beings to be influenced by evil thoughts and greed, which will also indirectly affect the Way of Heaven itself, creating a vicious cycle until the entire Way of Heaven is affected by evil thoughts.

Zhou Chen glanced at it and stopped paying attention. Anyway, neither the Heavenly Dao nor the Dao Ancestor had suffered any losses, so he might as well treat it as a practice session. If they really found a way to find other worlds, they might have to start world wars frequently.

After all, even with Zhou Chen's help, it would take an incredibly long time for the Primordial World to ascend to the Hongmeng World, which is directly governed by the Great Dao.

Integrating with other worlds is much faster.

Of course, Zhou Chen would not do what this other world did: weaken the essence of another world by killing its inhabitants and then annexing it.

Instead, a gentler approach is to merge the other world. The Heavenly Dao itself has no consciousness, so as long as there is no malice, merging is not troublesome and will not cause any problems.

The only trouble is that the beings of the other world still need to fight a battle to determine the issue of authority.

After all, the power in each world is usually occupied. Of course, the current prehistoric world is an exception. After the fusion, it is still necessary to determine who the power belongs to. So this battle is inevitable, but it will not be as tragic. It will be more like a martial arts contest.

Uh! I'm thinking a bit too far ahead! Let's find that treasure and the solution first!

Zhou Chen cleared his mind of distractions and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield.

After a long while, Zhou Chen finally discovered a clue. Among the powerful beings of this other world, the strongest one possessed a mirror-shaped treasure. Its quality reached the pseudo-"true" attribute of an innate treasure, but its attack power was not strong. However, the attacks it launched could track and dodge attacks. It seemed that it would not give up until it hit the target.

Even the attacks from Consort Pingxin could be dodged, and the attacks could even pass through the gaps in the chains and hit Consort Pingxin's body. Although the two were of different levels, it didn't hurt her at all.

However, this also shattered Lady Pingxin's invincible momentum, allowing the other five Hunyuan experts to regain their confidence, and then they continued to be brutally beaten by Lady Pingxin.

Now that he had found it, Zhou Chen was not one to hesitate. If he were to damage this treasure in the battle, he would have no one to blame but himself.

With one step, it shattered the chaotic void, and reappeared on the world battlefield.

Zhou Chen's goal was clear: the mirror-shaped treasure in the hands of that Hunyuan expert. He stretched out his left hand and pointed it at the Hunyuan expert.

Zhou Chen's arrival also attracted the attention of powerful beings from other worlds. Seeing him attack his boss, they all came to his aid.

A "True" attribute was pointed out by Zhou Chen and directly attacked the otherworldly Primordial Chaos expert. The magic power was not strong, seemingly not even as strong as the full-force attack of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. However, wherever it passed, everything turned into nothingness, all paths vanished, and the power of the Heavenly Dao wailed. It was completely unable to repair the damage, and anyone who got close would be obliterated.

One attack after another came, but they did not stop the attacks in the slightest. Whether it was an attack based on the laws of the Dao, an attack empowered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, an innate spiritual treasure, or even an innate supreme treasure, as long as it touched the attack, it would turn into nothingness.

The otherworldly expert who was targeted by Zhou Chen was shocked and turned to flee, but unfortunately it was too late.

Even if he runs away as soon as he sees Zhou Chen, he can't escape. Although Zhou Chen is not a Great Dao Saint yet, his combat power is no less than that of a Great Dao Saint. Although he cannot mobilize the power of the Great Dao, he has the Ancestral Qi Fire, a flame that can even refine objects with "true" attributes.

Where can you run to? Unless you can run out of Zhou Chen's perception range in an instant, but is that even possible?
It's simply impossible; this is something no powerful being from a great world could accomplish.

The attack struck the Primordial Chaos expert, instantly obliterating him. The magic continued its advance, annihilating countless otherworldly experts, carving out the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, and dividing the otherworldly realm in half before being retrieved by Zhou Chen.

Everyone on the Heavenly Battlefield, whether from the Primordial Era or other realms, stopped fighting and stared blankly at this scene.

"Ziwei!" all the star lords of the primordial world shouted in unison.

"Great Emperor!" the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court shouted in unison. "Divine might that surpasses all!" the rogue cultivators of the primordial world cried out.

In an instant, the morale of all the immortals in the primordial world soared.

The six sages of the Primordial Era and the great supernatural beings were dumbfounded. They knew that Zhou Chen was very strong, but they guessed that he had reached the level of Hunyuan, which was stronger than them, at most one level stronger.

But Zhou Chen's move today completely stunned them!

Killing a Primordial Chaos expert was effortless, and the attack shattered two worlds, beyond even the power of the Heavenly Dao to repair.

Doesn't that mean killing a saint is as easy as playing around? Then what's the point of them becoming saints? They still owe the Heavenly Dao a grand wish! The two from the West thought bitterly.

The people from the other world felt disheartened. With such a powerful opponent, what good would it do them even if they won?
One person could wipe them all out. All the otherworldly cultivators looked at the remaining seventeen Hunyuan experts, waiting for them to make a decision.

Zhou Chen ignored them and strolled to the spot where the man had fallen, picked up the fallen mirror-shaped treasure, and began to study it.

This object is called the Mirror of Heaven. Its function is very simple: to track everything in the world, of course, things of the same or lower level. If things are too far away, it will give you a general direction.

It was thanks to this treasure that the other world was able to find the primordial world.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, put it away, and planned to refine it again with the Qiankun Cauldron when he got back, which would further enhance its power.

Just as Zhou Chen was examining the Heavenly Mirror, the Heavenly Dao of the other world also realized that things were hopeless. It directly collected the seventeen Hunyuan experts and half of the pseudo-Hunyuan experts and fled back to the other world.

Using all the power of the Heavenly Dao, they pulled the other world away from the primordial world at a rapid pace.

Zhou Chen curled his lips slightly and said disdainfully, "As expected, when the Heavenly Dao is driven by selfish desires, it can give up anything!"

However, the primordial world is not a place you can come and go as you please!

He turned to the people abandoned by the other world and said, "Submit or die!"

The people from the other world immediately laid down their magical treasures and weapons, surrendering without hesitation. No living being was willing to die; they had all been abandoned, so why risk their lives?
At this moment, Hongjun Daozu and Pingxin Niangniang suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Chen.

Empress Pingxin couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Chen, are we just going to let Him take the other world away like that? Should we chase after Him?"

The Dao Ancestor also looked at Zhou Chen, as if asking Zhou Chen whether he should pursue him.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said calmly, "We have to run, even if we have to!"

"Since the Qiankun Cauldron has just been refined and hasn't been tested yet, let's use it in this other world to test its power!"

As he spoke, a burst of magical power struck the Qiankun Cauldron, instantly activating the spinning cauldron.

They flew directly out of the Heavenly Dao Battlefield and sped towards the other world they had fled to.

After leaving the Heavenly Dao Battlefield, it continued to grow larger during its flight, and by the time it caught up with the other world, it was already like a vast world.

The immense suction force directly drew the other world, along with the Heavenly Dao, into the cauldron, and then quickly returned.

The power of the Great Dao that connects to other worlds discovered that it could not connect to the Heavenly Dao of those other worlds. When it came to search for it and came into contact with the Qiankun Cauldron, Zhou Chen directly controlled the Ancestral Qi Fire, blocking the search for the power of the Great Dao.

As a fire that "refines the false into the true," the Ancestral Qi Fire is capable of harming the power of the Great Dao, which is also of the "true" attribute.

When it encountered the obstruction of the Ancestral Qi Fire again, the power of the Great Dao searched around and, finding no trace of it, disappeared.

The Qiankun Cauldron then returned along the same path, shrinking continuously on its way back. By the time it reached Zhou Chen's hand, it had returned to its original palm-sized form, rising and falling and spinning endlessly in his right hand.

Everyone looked at the Qiankun Cauldron in Zhou Chen's hand, including Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Lady Pingxin.

The cauldron was filled with the alternation of chaos and primordial yellow, and it did not possess the power of a primordial treasure. If it weren't for what had just happened, they would have thought it was just an ordinary spiritual treasure. Who could have guessed that it was a treasure capable of containing a vast world? It could even block the power of the Great Dao!
