Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

Deep within the chaos, Xuanbao opened his eyes.

When those eyes opened, even the chaos fell silent.

An invisible ripple spread out from him, smoothing out the chaotic air currents within a radius of billions of miles as if soothed by an invisible hand, transforming them from violent to docile, from chaotic to orderly. Those turbulent currents that had been rampaging through the chaos now seemed to have encountered their nemesis, all detouring around him, not daring to approach him even a step closer.

Xuanbao slowly stood up and stretched his limbs.

"Click—click—"

A series of crackling sounds, like popping beans, emanated from within his body—the sound of his bones rearranging, his meridians widening, and his acupoints expanding. His aura surged like the tide, wave after wave, each rise and fall more vast and profound than the last.

A Primordial Golden Immortal, at the peak of the Second Heaven!

"Not bad." Xuanbao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his body that was almost overflowing. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips. "The origin of the world is indeed a good thing. If I had a hundred or two hundred more world cores, I could be made into beef."

Xuanbao naturally knew that he was being delusional. Not to mention a whole world, there was only one world core, and such unrefined ones were extremely rare. He was lucky to have gotten one; he had struck it lucky.

Xuanbao looked down at his palm. In his palm, he could vaguely see mysterious lines running under his skin—the imprints of the laws of the world's origin, perfectly integrated with his own primordial Dao power, inseparable from each other.

"It's a pity that Cangxuan Daozun's remnant soul was too weak, otherwise we could have squeezed out more." Xuanbao clicked his tongue, somewhat unsatisfied. "However, the peak of the second level of the Heavenly Realm is enough. At least it surpasses the first level of the Saint Realm for some people."

I won't say who it is.

Xuanbao raised his head, his gaze piercing through the chaos, looking towards the vast world floating in the distance—the Cangxuan Realm.

"If you want to enter someone else's world, you have to at least say hello!"

Xuanbao took a step, and his figure was already hundreds of millions of miles away.

Cangxuan Realm, Heavenly Dao Space.

This is the highest point of the Cangxuan Realm, located at the boundary between the world barrier and chaos, a void formed by the pure power of laws. In the void, countless chains of laws crisscross like a spider web, each chain flowing with profound light, together constituting the operating rules of this great world.

At the center of these chains of laws, a huge sphere of light floats, which from a distance looks like a large eye; that is the will of the Heavenly Dao of the Cangxuan Realm.

At this moment, the ball of light was trembling violently.

"They're here."

An aged voice echoed in the void, carrying a hint of solemnity. A blurry face appeared on the surface of the sphere of light—a face woven from countless chains of laws, its features indistinct, yet exuding an aura of majesty that transcended all things.

This is the Heavenly Dao Will of the Cangxuan Realm, the world will born from countless eras of the Cangxuan Realm, a being whose cultivation is comparable to the third level of a Saint.

On the surface of the sphere of light, the face woven from chains of laws trembled slightly, and a voice boomed like thunder in the void: "Outsider, you stole the origin of the world, injured the God-Emperor, and now you dare to trespass into the Heavenly Dao Space—do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

Xuanbao did not answer.

He simply stood there, silently gazing at the face woven from chains of law, and then—

I stretched.

"Are you done talking?"

The Will of Heaven: "..."

Xuanbao grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "If you're done talking, then get to work. I'm in a hurry."

The will of Heaven is enraged.

It has lived through countless ages and has never seen such an arrogant person!

"Arrogant!"

With a furious roar, the entire Heavenly Dao Space trembled! Countless chains of laws danced wildly as if they were alive, transforming into devastating torrents of laws that crashed down upon the Xuanbao!

Each of those torrents of laws contained the power to annihilate a world of thousands! The law of fire transformed into a blazing inferno, the law of ice into ice that froze space and time, the law of thunder into lightning that tore through the void, and the law of space into a blade that cleaved through all things…

Countless laws converge into a torrent that destroys everything!

Xuanbao looked at the overwhelming torrent of laws, but instead of dodging, he—

Facing the torrent, take a step forward!

"Well done!"

With a flick of his left hand, an ancient-looking bell appeared out of thin air!

The bell was entirely of a chaotic color, its surface covered with mysterious runes, as if recording all the secrets since the beginning of time. Before the bell even sounded, merely a slight tremor from the bell itself caused the surrounding void to violently distort!

The Chaos Bell!

Although I have had the Chaos Bell for some time, I have never used it. Xuanbao is a good opportunity to practice. In terms of defensive power, even a saint's full-force attack would hardly be able to shake the insignificant part of a supreme innate treasure!

Xuanbao held the bell in his left hand, and the bell trembled slightly.

"clang--!!!"

A melodious bell rang throughout the entire Heavenly Dao Space!

The bell tolled as if it came from the very beginning of creation, carrying an unparalleled aura of righteousness, spreading outwards from the Xuanbao in all directions! The oncoming torrents of laws, under the vibration of the bell, were as if they had crashed into an invisible wall, shattering, disintegrating, and dissipating!

Countless laws shattered...

The myriad laws and torrents were as fragile as paper before the Chaos Bell, utterly vulnerable!

The pupils of the Heavenly Dao's Will suddenly contracted: "What kind of magic weapon is this?!"

Xuanbao did not answer.

With a clench of his right hand, a long, silver-white spear appeared in his palm!

The spear was about twelve feet long, its shaft shimmering with an eternal, undying silver light, and its tip so sharp it seemed capable of piercing through all illusions.

The Eternal Spear!

It was the Eternal Spear, the one Xuanbao used most skillfully, containing the law of penetrating everything. Every strike was guaranteed to hit its mark!

Xuanbao gripped his spear, raised his arm, and thrust out with the spear!

That shot was incredibly fast!

It was so fast that even the will of Heaven could not track its trajectory; the gun was wrapped with 3000 laws.

The Heavenly Dao only had time to see a flash of silvery-white light before its eyes—

"Pfft—!"

The Eternal Spear pierced the core of the Heavenly Will with perfect accuracy!

"roar--!!!"

The will of Heaven unleashed a soul-shaking roar! That roar was filled with pain, anger, and disbelief!

It couldn't believe it! Its own Heavenly Dao Will, a dignified Saint of the Third Heaven, couldn't even withstand a single move from the opponent?!

Xuanbao didn't care what it was thinking.

Indeed, Xuanbao is not very good at fighting. As a civilized person, Xuanbao has always been kind to others. He has been in the Red Team for so long, but he has only fought a handful of times, so he doesn't have much experience. His main strategy is to serve large quantities of food.

With the Chaos Bell in his left hand and the Eternal Spear in his right, Xuanbao used a punch in his left hand and a spear in his right, causing the will of Heaven to retreat in defeat!

"Aren't you supposed to be a Saint of the Third Heaven? Is this all?"

While fighting, Xuanbao kept talking: "I thought he was so powerful, but he couldn't even withstand one of my shots?"

The will of Heaven was so enraged that even the chains of its laws trembled: "You—!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Xuan Bao thrust out his spear again, pinning a chain of laws that was trying to ambush him to the void. "Not convinced? Come at me again!"

"I--!"

"What do you mean, 'what about me'?" Xuanbao's left hand trembled, shattering another chain of laws into pieces. "I think you just deserve a beating!"

The will of Heaven has gone completely mad.

It has lived through countless eras and has never seen such an unreasonable fighting style!

This isn't a battle between cultivators; it's clearly a street brawl!

But ironically, it was completely helpless against the Xuanbao!

Xuanbao's foundation is truly profound. All three thousand Great Daos have been brought into his own body. Although his realm is slightly lower than the Heavenly Dao Will, the sheer power of his magic and the completeness of his laws are unmatched by the Heavenly Dao Will of this Great Thousand World!

Moreover, Xuanbao also possesses two powerful weapons: the Chaos Bell and the Eternal Spear!

The Chaos Bell protects against all attacks;

The Eternal Spear is the primary offensive weapon, invincible and unstoppable.

Their offense and defense complemented each other perfectly.

If he knew that Xuanbao had only taken out two spiritual treasures, which could be described as being extremely generous, I wonder what he would think.

Although the Heavenly Dao Will was more powerful, it was completely unable to exert its full strength in the face of Xuanbao's "unreasonable" fighting style. Its law attacks were easily blocked by the Chaos Bell; when it tried to gather a stronger attack, Xuanbao's Eternal Spear relentlessly pursued it like a leech, making it impossible for it to concentrate.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the will of Heaven was already badly wounded.

One-third of its law chains broke, its core light dimmed considerably, and the face woven from the laws became blurred, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Stop! Stop!" The Heavenly Dao's will finally gave way, its voice tinged with pleading, "I surrender! I surrender!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanbao stopped what he was doing.

But he didn't put away the Chaos Bell and the Spear of Eternity. Instead, he remained poised to strike at any moment, smiling as he looked at the Will of Heaven: "You admit defeat?"

"I concede." The voice of the Heavenly Dao's will carried a hint of humiliation, but more so, helplessness. "What exactly do you want?"

Xuanbao slung the Eternal Spear over his shoulder, held the Chaos Bell in his left hand, and slowly walked up to the Heavenly Dao Will. He looked Xuanbao up and down, and then said, "It's very simple—submit to me."

The will of Heaven fell silent.

Xuanbao wasn't in a hurry; he just stood there, waiting for its reply.

After a long silence, the will of Heaven finally spoke, its voice tinged with bitterness: "Do I... still have a choice?"

Xuanbao grinned: "No."

The Will of Heaven: "..."

It sighed deeply, and the enormous sphere of light slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a fist-sized crystal that fell into Xuanbao's palm. The crystal was chaotic in color, with countless profound laws flowing within it—it was the core of the Heavenly Dao Will of the Cangxuan Realm; to control it was to control the entire Cangxuan Realm.

Xuanbao put the crystal into his body and nodded in satisfaction: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? You had to get a beating before you would behave."

The Will of Heaven: "..."

All it wants to do right now is curse.

But it dared not.

Because it had come to a profound realization—this smiling fellow before it was absolutely ruthless. And a ruthless one at that, one who acted without reason. To antagonize such a person was simply asking for trouble.

Xuanbao suddenly realized why the remnant soul in the core of that world was also named Cangxuan. So he directly asked, "By the way, why is the remnant soul of Daoist Cangxuan in the core of the world?"

Upon hearing Xuan Bao's words, the Heavenly Dao Will of the Cangxuan Realm remained silent for a long time. The light sphere suspended in the void trembled slightly, as if it were organizing its thoughts. Xuan Bao was not in a hurry. He simply carried the Eternal Spear, held the Chaos Bell in his left hand, and waited leisurely.

After a long silence, the will of Heaven finally spoke, its voice carrying a complex emotion: "The remnant soul you just mentioned... he is indeed Dao Venerable Cangxuan. But strictly speaking, he is the creator of this world."

Xuanbao raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What do you mean?"

"The Cangxuan Dao Venerable was indeed the creator of the Cangxuan Realm. Back then, he traveled through the chaos and found a place where chaotic spiritual veins converged. He then used his great supernatural powers to create this great world. When the world was first formed, the laws of heaven and earth were perfect, spiritual energy was abundant, and life flourished. It was a thriving place." The voice of the Heavenly Dao Will paused, tinged with sadness, "However, just when the Cangxuan Dao Venerable had created the world and consumed seventy percent of his original power, falling into his weakest period—another Chaos Demon God made his move."

"I don't know who that Chaos Demon God is, but after seizing the Cangxuan Realm, he called himself the Cangxuan Ancestor."

Xuanbao narrowed his eyes: "A cuckoo taking over someone else's nest?"

"Indeed." The voice of the Heavenly Dao was tinged with hatred. "That Ancestor Cangxuan was originally one of the Chaos Demon Gods. Back when Pangu created the world, he killed countless Chaos Demon Gods, and Ancestor Cangxuan was one of the lucky ones who escaped with his life. He was seriously injured and hid in the depths of chaos to recuperate for countless eons until he sensed the movement of Dao Venerable Cangxuan creating the world, and then he quietly sneaked over."

"He took advantage of Cangxuan Daozun's weakest moment and launched a sudden attack. Although Cangxuan Daozun fought back desperately, he was ultimately powerless and was defeated by Cangxuan Ancestor, his soul scattered—he only had time to send a wisp of his remnant soul and the core of the world away in the Cangxuan Realm."

"Alas! This has indirectly led to my cultivation level only reaching the peak of the third level of Sainthood, despite being the Heavenly Dao of a Great Thousand World. If I had refined the core of the world, I would at least be at the fifth level of Sainthood."

"Oh! It sounds like you're disappointed."

"Cough, no, no."

Xuanbao nodded thoughtfully: "So the one you were protecting before was actually Ancestor Cangxuan?"

"Indeed." The voice of the Heavenly Dao Will carried a hint of shame. "I was deceived by that Ancestor Cangxuan for countless eons. He used his great supernatural powers to tamper with the history of the Cangxuan Realm, portraying himself as the creator god who opened up the world. At that time, I had only recently gained sentience and was forcibly refined by him using the methods of a Chaos Demon God, leaving me no choice but to obey his commands. What was sealed beneath the Demon Abyss was not the 'remains of a Demon God' at all, but the true corpse of Daoist Cangxuan!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanbao clicked his tongue and said, "Good heavens, murder and arson bring wealth, while repairing bridges and roads leaves no trace. This Ancestor Cangxuan certainly knows how to play the game, getting a whole Great Thousand World for free."

"Where is Ancestor Cangxuan now?" Xuanbao asked.

"When he ambushed Cangxuan Daozun back then, he himself was also seriously injured. In addition, he was already severely injured, and he has been hiding in the deepest temple of the Cangxuan Realm to sleep and recover all these years." The Heavenly Dao Will paused and added, "Now his cultivation is about the peak of the fourth level of Saint. If he fully recovers, he may be able to reach the fifth level of Saint."
