Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.
Chapter 276 Learning the Situation
No one expected that these three Chaos Gods would be so decisive, and seeing that things were hopeless, they were prepared to perish together.
"Trying to self-destruct? Did you even ask me?"
Xuanbao snorted coldly. The three thousand laws, like three thousand dazzling galaxies, surged forth from his body, transforming into a gigantic net that blotted out the sky, descending upon the three Chaos Demon Gods! Each thread of that giant net of laws contained the power of a complete law, and the three thousand laws intertwined together, forming an unparalleled power capable of suppressing everything!
"The Three Thousand Laws—Binding!"
Xuanbao's voice, like the grand pronouncements of the Great Dao, resounded throughout heaven and earth. The giant net of laws descended upon the three Chaos Demon Gods, tightening instantly! The three thousand chains of laws, like living things, burrowed into their skin, flesh, and meridians, reaching deep into their primordial spirits, completely locking away their magical power flow, law operation, and even the fluctuations of their primordial spirits!
The three Chaos Demon Gods' swollen bodies deflated rapidly, like punctured balloons. Although the cracks on their skin remained, the energy of their self-destruction had been forcibly suppressed, channeled, and dispersed by the Three Thousand Law Chains, making it impossible for it to condense to a level sufficient to detonate.
"What... what kind of technique is this?!" Riot's eyes widened in disbelief. He had lived through countless eras and seen countless powerful figures, but he had never seen anyone so effortlessly suppress three Chaos Gods as they simultaneously self-destructed! And all of this was done single-handedly!
"You're making a fuss over nothing." Xuanbao curled his lip, his tone tinged with disdain. "You've been in the chaos for too long, your horizons have all deteriorated. The times have changed, adults."
Riot was trembling with rage, but he was tightly bound by the chains of the Three Thousand Laws and could not move a single finger. He could only let out angry and powerless roars.
Just then, three vast auras descended from the sky!
The Three Pure Ones have arrived!
Tongtian landed first, with the Four Swords of Zhuxian hovering behind him, their sword intent soaring to the heavens, pulverizing the surrounding chaotic currents. He glanced at the three Chaos Demon Gods bound by chains of law, then at Xuanbao, who stood calmly atop the World Tree, and his lips twitched slightly: "You brat... you're quick on your feet."
"That's right, we can't let them really blow it up, can we?" Xuanbao chuckled. "The three masters have arrived just in time to lend me a hand. Although I've tied these three guys up, it will still take some effort to completely suppress them."
Lao Tzu nodded, and without further ado, he lightly tapped his flat cane, causing a natural Daoist aura to spread out, transforming into a Tai Chi diagram that hovered above the heads of the three Chaos Demon Gods. The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated, with black and white qi flowing continuously, gradually eroding the remaining violent chaotic energy within the three Demon Gods' bodies.
Yuanshi Tianzun held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and gently waved it. A chaotic light entered the bodies of the three demon gods, setting up a restriction deep within their primordial spirits, leaving them no room to resist.
The Tongtian Sect Leader was even more direct. The Four Swords of Zhuxian transformed into four streams of light, hovering over the vital points of the three demon gods' limbs, their tips emitting sharp sword light. If they made any move, the four swords would strike simultaneously, turning them into human stumps.
The three Chaos Gods: "…………"
Three more saints have reached the seventh level of heaven!
They had traversed countless eras of chaos and had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace!
But what made them even more desperate was that the roots of the World Tree were still frantically absorbing the essence of their natal worlds. The three great worlds were shrinking and withering at a visible rate, and they could only watch helplessly.
Just then, two more ripples appeared in the void.
Houtu and Nuwa arrived together.
Houtu was surrounded by the illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, her aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss. The moment she appeared, the laws of heaven and earth around her seemed to become even more stable. She glanced at the three Chaos Demon Gods who were tightly bound, and then at the World Tree that was frantically absorbing the source of the universe. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"It seems I'm late." Houtu smiled slightly, raised her hand, and the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation spread out, enveloping the three demon gods. The power of reincarnation transformed into six invisible chains, binding the primordial spirits of the three demon gods and establishing a subtle connection with them. If they made any move, Houtu could drag their primordial spirits into reincarnation with a single thought, making them experience the suffering of reincarnation for thousands of lifetimes.
The three Chaos Gods: "…………"
Another one!
Nuwa was even more direct. She gently raised her hand, and a ball of green divine light condensed in her palm. The light appeared gentle, yet it contained the Great Dao of Creation. With a flick of her finger, the green light split into three strands, which entered the brows of the three demon gods and then their seas of consciousness. If Nuwa so desired, this strand of light could, at any time, blast their seas of consciousness into a complete mess.
The three Chaos Gods: "…………"
That's enough!
Bai Lu was the last to appear. She emerged from the World Tree's space, barefoot in the void, her white dress fluttering, radiating a warm and vast life force. She walked to Xuan Bao's side, glanced at the three Chaos Demons bound hand and foot, and then said calmly, "Do you need my help?"
Riot's pupils suddenly contracted, his voice trembling with disbelief: "The...the Law of Life?! You are the Life Demon God from back then?! Weren't you killed by Pangu?!"
Bai Lu glanced at him indifferently, her gaze calm and unwavering, yet it made Bao Luan feel as if his very soul had been frozen: "You know me?"
"Among the Chaos Gods, there are probably few who don't know you..." The riotous voice carried a hint of bitterness. "With your Life Law, who among the Chaos Gods would dare to touch you? They'd probably be ganged up on and beaten to death by the other Chaos Gods..."
"After all, wet nurses are always the first people to be protected, no matter the circumstances."
If one had to describe the expressions of the three Chaos Gods at this moment in a single word, it would be—utter despair.
Riot was bound like a dumpling by chains of three thousand laws, a Tai Chi diagram hanging above his head slowly eroding his demonic energy, four murderous immortal swords pointing at his vital points, his primordial spirit bound by chains of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and a bomb buried in his sea of consciousness, ready to explode at any moment. He had lived for countless eons, traversing chaos for many years, never imagining that he would one day experience such humiliation.
He turned his head with difficulty and glanced at his two fellow sufferers beside him—their expressions were even more dramatic than his, their eyes red-rimmed and their lips trembling, as if they were about to burst into tears at any moment.
"A riot..." The voice of the demon god on the left was hoarse, with a hint of a sob in it. "You're telling me... that Hongjun, the strongest being in the primordial world now, was just the weakest among us Chaos Demon Gods back then. In addition, the primordial world has only been established for a short time, and even those with high cultivation levels are probably no match for us Chaos Demon Gods. If the three of us at the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm joined forces, taking over the primordial world would be a piece of cake..."
Riot opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but found that his throat was blocked by something, and he couldn't say a word.
The demon on the right was completely taken aback:
The demon on the left grew increasingly agitated, his voice trembling, "This lineup, you're telling me it's 'easy as pie'?! Riot, don't you have some misunderstanding about us?!"
The rioters were rendered speechless. After struggling for a long time, they finally managed to stammer out, "I...I don't know either..."
"You didn't know?!" The demon on the right almost burst into tears. "You didn't know and you dared to drag us here to attack the Primordial World?! A riot?! You son of a bitch!"
In an instant, a fierce infighting broke out among the three Chaos Gods. Although they were bound and unable to move, their tongues were still fluent, and all sorts of Chaos slang and demonic profanities came out one after another as they greeted each other, making the scene quite chaotic.
Xuanbao stood atop the World Tree, arms crossed, watching the "Chaos Demon Gods' Insult Contest" with great interest for a while. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, gentlemen, are you done arguing? If you're done, let's talk about serious matters."
The three Chaos Demons simultaneously fell silent, all turning to look at Xuanbao. Their eyes held a mixture of anger, fear, and a hint of inexplicable grievance.
Xuanbao found their stares amusing, shook his head, and slowly descended from the World Tree, landing in front of the three demon gods. He put his hands behind his back, circled them once, and then clicked his tongue twice: "You guys are supposed to be Chaos Demon Gods, how did you end up like this?"
Riot gritted his teeth, his voice tinged with resentment: "Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you! But don't be so smug—we're nothing but the lowest of the Chaos Gods! There are countless beings stronger than us in the Chaos! When the true powerhouses descend, your primordial world will still be doomed!"
"Oh?" Xuanbao raised an eyebrow. "There are countless people stronger than you. So where do you rank?"
Riot opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said somewhat reluctantly, "We... aren't ranked high."
"How high is 'not high'?"
"...outside the top ten thousand."
Xuanbao fell silent.
To be honest, Xuanbao was somewhat shocked. The fact that there were more than 10,000 Chaos Gods already known proved that there were at least 10,000, or even more.
Xuanbao turned back to the riot, his expression becoming somewhat subtle: "So, in the Chaos Demon Gods, you're just extras who don't even have a number?"
Riot's face flushed crimson instantly, but he couldn't refute it, because it was indeed the truth. While the Chaos Gods weren't strictly ranked, there was a consensus on their relative strengths. Those at the sixth level of the Chaos Realm were indeed only considered lower to middle tier within the Chaos Realm. The truly top-tier beings, like the monsters ranked in the top ten, were all at least at the ninth level of the Saint Realm.
"Then you still dare to attack the Primordial World?" Xuanbao's tone carried a hint of genuine confusion. "Who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?"
Although the rioter didn't know who "Fish Leong" was, he could tell from Xuan Bao's tone that it wasn't anything nice. He gritted his teeth and stubbornly said, "Although we're not ranked high, we're the closest to the Primordial World. The Primordial World hasn't been around for very long, so it's unlikely that it could have cultivated anyone with exceptional strength. The three of us should have a sure thing!"
After hearing the riot's statement that "we are the closest to the primordial world," Xuanbao remained silent for a moment, then let out a profound sigh.
"So you guys are the kind who see a piece of fat meat in someone else's yard, think you're close by, and eagerly run over to grab it, only to find out you're the one who's fat meat?"
Riot's face flushed red. He wanted to retort, but found that he had no grounds to do so. He could only snort angrily and turn his head away.
Xuanbao didn't care. He walked around the three demon gods again with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over them as if he were appraising three items waiting to be sold. That look made the three demon gods feel uneasy, as if this kid was plotting something bad.
Sure enough, Xuanbao stopped, stroked his chin, and revealed a shrewd smile typical of a businessman: "The three of you, do you say you are the Chaos Gods closest to the Primordial World?"
Riot looked at him warily: "So what if it is?"
"So that means you should know something about the movements of the other demon gods in the Chaos, right?" Xuanbao asked with a smile. "For example, which other demon gods have their eyes on the Primordial World? What is their strength? And when will they likely arrive?"
Riot's expression changed, and he sneered, "You think you can get information out of us? Dream on!"
"Oh." Xuanbao nodded, then turned to Houtu and said, "Sister Houtu, please drag his primordial spirit into the cycle of reincarnation a hundred or eighty times, so that he can experience the hardships of being a beast of burden in the human world."
"No problem." Houtu smiled slightly, raised her hand and waved it. The phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation began to slowly rotate, and a powerful suction force enveloped the raging primordial spirit.
Riot's face instantly turned deathly pale: "Wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Xuanbao raised his hand to stop Houtu, and looked at the riot with a smile: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? Why did you have to refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences?"
Riot gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, but under the intimidation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he still chose to submit. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "There are indeed quite a few Chaos Gods eyeing the Primordial World. Pangu created the world and slaughtered countless Chaos Gods. His legacy and the Primordial World itself are a huge piece of meat for the Chaos Gods. As far as I know, there are at least several batches of Chaos Gods currently on their way to the Primordial World."
"How many batches?" Xuanbao raised an eyebrow. "Tell me the details."
"As far as I know, there are about five Chaos Demon Gods under the command of the Devouring Demon God, led by the Devouring Demon God himself, whose cultivation is at least at the peak of the seventh level of the Saint Realm. They are the closest to the Primordial World, and they should be able to arrive in about a few hundred years."
"The second group consists of the old subordinates of the 'Destruction Demon God.' Back then, the Destruction Demon God was cleaved in two by Pangu's axe, but his remnant soul escaped and has now reformed his physical body. His cultivation level is approximately at the early stage of the eighth level of the Saint Realm. He has gathered a group of his old subordinates, about seven or eight Chaos Demon Gods, who are on their way to seek revenge. They are quite far away, but they are moving at a fast pace and are expected to arrive within a thousand years."
"The third batch..."
Riot recounted the forces of five groups of Chaos Gods in one breath, each group far surpassing the three of them in strength. By the end, his own expression grew increasingly grim, clearly realizing how foolish his decision to attack the Primordial World had been.
After listening, Xuanbao remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "So, we only have a few hundred years left at most?"
Xuanbao stroked his chin, his eyes flickering, lost in thought. The Three Pure Ones, Houtu, and Nuwa also fell silent, their expressions grave. Five hundred years is a long time for mortals, but for a vast world like the Primordial World, it's merely a fleeting moment. To prepare within five hundred years and face wave after wave of attacks from the Chaos Gods—the pressure was immense.
However, Xuanbao suddenly laughed.
That smile was bright, relaxed, and even carried a hint of eager excitement.
"Five hundred years?" Xuanbao rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming. "That's enough, that's more than enough."
The Three Pure Ones exchanged bewildered glances, and the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but ask, "What kind of mischievous idea do you have now?"
"It's not exactly a brilliant idea, just a small thought." Xuanbao turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, then he held up one finger. "Gentlemen, have you ever thought about this question—why should we passively defend ourselves and wait for those Chaos Gods to come to our door?"
Lao Tzu frowned slightly: "You mean...?"
"Take the initiative," Xuanbao said, emphasizing each word. "Instead of waiting for them to gather and attack us wave after wave, we should take the initiative to strike out and defeat them one by one, annihilating them one by one."
These words startled everyone present.
