Primordial Era: Starting by overwhelming the Sages, Hongjun was stunned!

"roar!!!"

The demonic ape swung its six arms in unison, and the chaotic war flames transformed into six ferocious giant blades, tearing through the void and slashing fiercely at the phantom of Pangu!

The phantom of Pangu remained silent and motionless, only slowly raising its hand.

The phantom of the Heaven-Opening Axe in his hand... with a gentle swing.

There was no brilliance, no oppressive force.

There was only one... an invisible trajectory that seemed capable of splitting the chaos itself!

"Snap!"

The six chaotic battle blades collided violently with that invisible trajectory!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Followed by.

"puff!!!"

The Chaos Demon Ape's six arms were all severed!

The ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body flew backward for billions of miles, smashing countless fragments of space, and spraying out chaotic true blood like a torrential rain!

Just one axe blow!

The reborn Chaos Demon Ape was severely injured by this Pangu phantom... with a single blow!

"Cough...cough cough..."

The demonic ape struggled to its feet, and chaotic flames of war ignited at the severed arm, causing it to rapidly regenerate.

But for the first time, a look of... solemnity appeared in its six eyes.

This Pangu phantom...something's not right!

It is not the real Pangu.

Rather, it is a battle mark simulated by the Heavenly Dao rules based on the primordial origin!

Although it possesses only one ten-thousandth of Pangu's power, its essence... still surpasses that of ordinary Hunyuan!

"The Heavenly Dao... actually has such a backup plan..."

The demonic ape hissed and whispered, but the flames of war in its eyes burned ever brighter.

Instead of retreating, it advanced, its body covered in battle runes that burned wildly, and its aura surged once more!

Even if Pangu himself were to appear...

"I, too...fight without regret!"

The words fell.

The demonic ape's wings suddenly unfurled, blotting out the sky!

The chaotic battle flames around him boiled over completely, transforming into a torrent of fire that pierced through the void, charging towards the phantom of Pangu once again!

But at that very moment...

A slender hand gently pressed on its shoulder.

That's enough.

A calm voice came from behind me.

The demonic ape's body trembled, and it suddenly turned around.

Kong Xuan had appeared behind it at some point, his black robe fluttering slightly, his gaze calmly fixed on the phantom of Pangu.

"S-senpai?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the demonic ape's eyes.

Kong Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the injuries on the demonic ape's body before settling on the phantom of Pangu.

"The rules of Heaven simulate the imprint of Pangu based on the origin of the primordial world, which has touched the very foundation of the primordial world."

"If you continue fighting, even if you win, it will damage the foundation of the primordial world, and the losses will outweigh the gains."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The demon ape remained silent.

After a long while, it slowly lowered its head:

"This junior...yes."

Kong Xuan said no more.

He took a step forward and walked to the phantom image of Pangu.

The phantom of Pangu remained cold, and the phantom of the Heaven-Opening Axe in his hand was slightly raised, aimed at Kong Xuan.

"Disperse."

Kong Xuan spoke, but only one word.

He did not use any supernatural powers, nor did he invoke the Great Dao.

He simply uttered a single word calmly.

But just as that word was uttered...

That purple-gold phantom, formed from the rules of Heaven and imbued with a trace of Pangu's battle imprint...

Suddenly, everything stopped!

Followed by.

Like a weathered sand sculpture, it crumbles and dissipates inch by inch, starting from the edges!

They transformed into countless tiny purple-gold specks of light, drifting into the void and returning to the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

Even the phantom image of the Heaven-Opening Axe vanished with it.

It's as if it never existed.

The Chaos Demon Ape's pupils constricted sharply!

It fought desperately, enduring a protracted and unsuccessful battle against the phantom of Pangu...

He was actually defeated by Kong Xuan with a single word...?

What level of cultivation is this?!

What a level of attainment!

Kong Xuan remained expressionless, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

He raised his hand, and the chaotic Daoist energy flowed in his palm as he gently brushed it towards the shattered fragments of the Heavenly Dao's shackles in the void.

"Buzz..."

As if summoned, countless fragments gathered together, slowly rotating and recombining in Kong Xuan's palm.

Finally, it coalesced into a... fist-sized, purple-gold color, with countless rule runes flowing on its surface... Heavenly Dao Seal!

"This is a talisman formed from the core of the Heavenly Dao's origin."

Kong Xuan's voice was calm:

"The one who holds this seal can mobilize the power of 30% of the Heavenly Dao rules of the primordial world to regulate Yin and Yang and restore order."

He paused, then looked at the demonic ape:

"You have been fighting against the shackles of Heaven for a long time, and have mastered its essence. Furthermore, you have honed the Great Dao of War to a minor level of mastery in the face of life and death."

"This seal... is hereby bestowed upon you."

"From this day forward, you will be the 'God of War' of the Primordial World, in charge of conquest, protecting heaven and earth, subject to the rule of the Heavenly Dao, and enjoying the offerings of all races."

The words fell.

Kong Xuan flicked his finger.

The purple-gold Heavenly Dao talisman transformed into a stream of light and entered the demonic ape's brow.

In an instant!

The demonic ape's body trembled violently!

A purple-gold vertical mark slowly emerged between its brows, radiating a majestic heavenly power, yet perfectly blending with the chaotic battle flames surrounding it.

A vast and pure power of the Heavenly Dao rules surged out from the talisman, rapidly repairing its internal injuries and slowly merging with its original source of the Great Dao of War!

From now on.

It is no longer a chaotic demon god that exists outside the rules of the primordial world.

Rather... a Primordial War God who is recognized by the Heavenly Dao and wields partial authority!

"Thank you...senior for bestowing the seal!"

The demon ape knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse, yet filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

Kong Xuan accepted it calmly, and then said:

"Your foundation is now established. You may continue to hone your martial arts in the chaos, or you may enter the primordial world to protect one side."

"But remember..."

His gaze turned cold:

"Do not kill indiscriminately, do not defy the fundamental laws of Heaven, do not... damage the origin of the primordial world."

The demon ape lowered its head:

"This junior...will remember!"

Kong Xuan nodded slightly and said no more.

He turned around and looked at the vast, untamed land.

At this moment, under the illumination of the Hongmeng Surveillance Mirror, he could perceive all the subtle changes in the entire prehistoric world.

The river of humanity is becoming increasingly condensed, and the fortunes of the nine sages are intertwined like a net.

The Heavenly Court is well-ordered, and the integration of all races is progressing smoothly.

The three hundred true disciples of the Jie Sect went into seclusion for quiet cultivation, and their aura gradually became more profound.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

However, the sense of unease that arose from the "Eye of Chaos" never dissipated in Kong Xuan's heart.

That eyeball... will not let this go.

Since it can use the Hongmeng Surveillance Mirror to spy on the primordial world, it means that... it has long had designs on the primordial world.

Now that the Mirror of Surveillance has been refined by him, its mark has been imprinted on it.

That eyeball... will probably make a move soon.

"We need to prepare early..."

Kong Xuan murmured to himself, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

He didn't linger any longer, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived at... the Netherworld, before the cycle of reincarnation.

The Wheel of Reincarnation slowly rotates, the six gates are deep and dark, and countless souls rise and fall within them.

Standing atop the Cycle of Reincarnation, Lady Pingxin seemed to sense something and turned to look.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan."

She nodded slightly, her voice gentle, yet tinged with weariness.

Since the underground passage was restored and reincarnation was redefined, she has devoted herself to reincarnation, sorting through the souls of countless dead, which has taken a tremendous toll.

Kong Xuan returned the greeting with clasped hands:

"Fellow Daoist Pingxin, you've worked hard."

His gaze swept over the Wheel of Reincarnation, sensing the primordial essence flowing within it, and he slowly said:

"A great calamity is about to descend upon the primordial world; the underground passages must be stable to ensure the safety of reincarnation."

Empress Pingxin's gaze narrowed slightly:

"The great calamity you speak of, fellow Daoist... could it originate from beyond the Chaos?"

Kong Xuan nodded:

"An entity calling itself the 'Eye of Chaos' has set its sights on the primordial world."

"His strength... is probably above the peak of the Primordial Limitless Great Luo Realm."

Empress Pingxin's expression changed slightly.

Above the peak of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Realm?

What level would that be?
