Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 164 Another Battle with Taiyi

Above the Nine Heavens!

The image of Pangu behind Donghua shook the heavens, and wherever it was, all things resonated and heaven and earth echoed.

The dragon-headed golden staff and the Kongtong Seal flew away from Donghua's hand and fell into the hands of Pangu's Dharma Image.

The golden staff serves as the handle, and the seal as the blade!

A colossal axe that could cleave the heavens appeared in the sky!

Donghua channeled his magical power, causing the imperial aura to tremble and transform into a golden dragon, which coiled around the Dharma Axe.

The Dharma image trembled, and a cleaver cleaved out!

With a single swing of the axe, the ultimate power of the Great Dao swept across the heavens and earth, and wherever the axe's edge passed, the heavens and earth seemed to be split in two.

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi's Great Dao Fist had also arrived.

Both forces are the power of the Great Dao, yet they are completely opposite.

One is the master of life and creation!

One is the death of the Lord, and destruction!

The Heaven-Opening Axe's light and the Great Dao's fist collided, two extreme Great Daos colliding and rubbing against each other.

At the point of collision, the void shattered, the Great Dao vanished, and the two different lights merged together, as if a new sun had appeared between heaven and earth.

The aftershocks of the collision spread for hundreds of millions of miles.

Even the two sides fighting on the East Sea were affected, and tens of thousands of people from the Purple Mansion and the Demon Clan were instantly annihilated.

Donghua clasped his hands together, his divine body leaning forward, while his Pangu Dharma Image followed, the two becoming one, and heaven and man were born.

Another axe strike!

Taiyi was not to be outdone and also threw a punch!

The previous clash hadn't even decided the outcome, and now there's another one!

Two axes combined, becoming one!

This time, Donghuang Taiyi's fist energy could no longer be resisted and was shattered into pieces.

The axe beam, carrying the power of the Great Dao, charged forward relentlessly, cleaving towards Taiyi.

Upon seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi was greatly alarmed, his mind was in turmoil, and he frantically channeled his magical power into the Chaos Bell above his head.

The Chaos Bell emitted light, and the sun, moon, stars, earth, fire, water, and wind appeared, enveloping Taiyi within it!

Axe blade strikes!

"Dad!"

The bell tolled melodiously, the Chaos Bell was knocked away, and Donghuang Taiyi was also thrown back thousands of miles.

His imperial crown fell off, his long hair was disheveled, and he spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood!

But in the end, he blocked the axe!

The scene that unfolded in the heavens shocked everyone; countless people found it hard to believe and hard to accept.

Since his debut, Donghuang Taiyi has been synonymous with invincibility and undefeated among his peers.

Since the end of Hongjun's three lectures and the acquisition of the supreme treasure by the Three Pure Ones, the term "invincible" has disappeared.

But the myth of invincibility still exists!

But today it was broken, and even while wielding the Chaos Bell.

In the primordial world, strength reigns supreme, and everything else is merely embellishment. Just like Di Jun, if the Heavenly Court can suppress all directions and make all living beings submit, then does virtue or lack thereof still matter?

Vie, Vie, Vie comes before Virtue!

When power is strong enough, virtue naturally follows!

What does it mean to break through with force? This is breaking through with force; strength reigns supreme!

There are many ways to demonstrate strength, but when broken down, they are nothing more than external force and internal force.

For Donghua, the help from fellow Daoists was an external force, as was the previous Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

External forces may be strong, but they are not permanent!

If the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation only made everyone marvel at its talent, then this time, they were completely shocked by Donghua's strength.

And what is internal energy?

Great power returns to oneself, unchanged since time immemorial!

At all times, people only admire absolute strength!

"This is what a man should do!"

In the main hall of the Purple Mansion, Tongtian uttered these words once again.

But this time, everyone nodded in agreement.

"If he is not the Heavenly Emperor, then who can be the Heavenly Emperor!"

Fuxi waved his folding fan, completely disregarding Houtu and Xuanming beside him, as if he didn't care if the Wu tribe knew his thoughts.

Then Tu seemed not to hear these words, and continued to chat and laugh with Nuwa, but the shock between them could still be seen in their eyes.

Because Donghua's attack was too powerful!

Jieyin and Zhunti remained calm and composed, but both of them smiled. They were not afraid that Donghua was strong, but rather that Donghua was not strong enough.

Their paths are completely different, and in terms of proving the Dao, they are worlds apart. As long as it's not a battle over the Great Dao, the rest are minor issues.

Therefore, the stronger their allies are now, the happier they are, because they can see the hope for a great rise of the West in them.

If the West does not prosper, the good fortune promised to Donghua will never be fulfilled.

……

"Brother Dao, this Primordial Purple Qi of mine was indeed born from him."

The crimson cloud manifested its primordial spirit, and the primordial purple energy above it was cheering and releasing boundless power of rules as the imperial destiny of Donghua was revealed.

After taking one look, Zhen Yuanzi didn't look at it again. He was afraid of damaging his Dao heart. Not everyone is like Hongyun, who can see the Primordial Purple Qi as nothing.

He then exclaimed, "This isn't a great calamity for Donghua, it's clearly a great calamity for the demon race! What kind of test is this? Heaven and earth truly favor Fellow Daoist Donghua!"

Hongyun shook his head and said, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is missing. There is a will of Heaven in the darkness. Every drink and every bite has its gain and loss!"

"Those who wish to wear the imperial crown must bear its weight."

"Therefore, the great calamity has not disappeared; it will surely come!"

After listening, Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a long time, then slowly nodded and said, "Brother Dao, your words are the truth of the Great Dao. You have truly attained enlightenment. I admire you greatly."

Hongyun smiled bitterly and said, "It's already very late. There are seven people in Zixiao Palace who have obtained the Primordial Purple Qi. I guess I am the worst one."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi also sighed. People in the prehistoric world would rather not mention the Dao Ancestor's six disciples than mention them.

After all, they are too special. Even the weakest two, Jieyin and Zhunti, can fight the Twelve Ancestral Witches alone and withstand the Great Array of the Capital.

Nuwa alone was able to withstand an attack from Pangu's true form, which is truly terrifying!

As for the Three Pure Ones, needless to say, each of them possesses extraordinary cultivation and wields supreme treasures. Although Tongtian has no supreme treasures, the power of the Four Swords of Zhuxian is enough to terrify anyone.

"That makes perfect sense. Compared to them, we still have a long way to go, and Fellow Daoist Donghua is probably on par with them now."

……

Kunlun Mountains!

Yuanshi and Taishang gazed at Donghua in the heavens above, remaining silent for a long time!

Because at that moment, they truly felt threatened, faced with death; a deep sense of threat lingered in their hearts.

"Elder brother's deductions are truly unparalleled!" Yuanshi exclaimed in admiration.

Taishang smiled and said, "How could I have deduced this? They are all late-stage Quasi-Saints, and Donghua has several top-tier spiritual treasures to suppress his own fortune and the Great Dao. How could I possibly have deduced it?"

"Do you remember the first time he came to Kunlun Mountain? I could feel the aura of his Great Dao back then, and it was even more obvious when we met in West Kunlun last time. His Imperial Dao has merged with all the Daos."

"Yet now, he can unify the three thousand great paths with the Eight Trigrams, and use the Qi of destiny as a fulcrum. The Emperor's Path is all paths, integrated and interconnected. Truly extraordinary!"

Yuanshi nodded after hearing this and looked at Donghuang Taiyi in the mirror. He felt that if he were to face this move, he might not fare much better!

He then asked again, "Did Third Brother also realize this?"

Taishang smiled but remained silent. He was well aware of the rivalry between his two younger brothers, but he couldn't say anything.

The Three Pure Ones are one entity, yet they also compete with each other, none willing to yield to the other. Currently, he can still hold a slight advantage over the other two, but as they travel and seek enlightenment, this gap is gradually narrowing.

Even now, he can no longer see through his second brother, Yuanshi. He cultivates the three paths of gods, immortals, and demons simultaneously. He doesn't know how strong Yuanshi really is unless he fights him!

Seeing that Taishang remained silent, Yuanshi did not ask any further questions, and turned to say, "Nanji, go and fetch the Qilin; we will go to the Purple Palace!"

Standing on Qilin Cliff was not only Taishang Yuanshi, but also two juniors behind them, Duobao and Nanji.

The man from Antarctica replied, "I will obey your orders, Master!"

Then we left Qilin Cliff!

"Second Uncle, could you take me with you? I'd like to see it for myself, and my master is also in the Purple Mansion," Duobao said, bowing.

Yuanshi said softly, "Very well, you will go with me to the South Pole!"

"Thank you very much, Second Master Uncle!"

He then happily bowed and took his leave!

Taishang smiled at Yuanshi and said, "Second brother, be extremely careful on your journey to the Purple Mansion. I am rather lazy and do not wish to go. With you and third brother in the Purple Mansion, I am confident that you can control the situation."

"But remember, do not get too entangled with the three parties, lest you fall into a great calamity. As for your third brother, there's no need to concern yourself with him; let him be. This is his own path!"

Yuan Shi nodded slightly.

……

The battle within the Purple Mansion was raging, with neither side able to gain the upper hand; they were evenly matched!

Among the participants, Xi Wangmu and Kunpeng had the highest cultivation levels, but their fight was utterly uninteresting.

Nothing special!

The Kunpeng is as slippery as a loach. Even if the Queen Mother of the West uses all her skills, she can always resist and evade it, but she rarely confronts it head-on.

But she wanted to help others, but she was held back and couldn't move, so the two remained in a stalemate.

The fight between Zhulong and Bai Ze was the most exciting. Both were innate saints and were in the mid-stage of quasi-saints. One was a god and the other an immortal. They fought each other and it was difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Meanwhile, the battles on all sides were quite exciting, and the first to determine the victor was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

This was unexpected by everyone, because the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had not been a Quasi-Saint for long, and was even lower than the Great Master of Fate and others. Moreover, the Nine Infants who fought against her was one of the top ten Demon Saints of the Demon Clan.

But at this moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden began to shine brightly on the battlefield where so many quasi-saints existed.

The army of Xikunlun lined up in formation, and boundless military power gathered within Xuan Nu's body. Clad in white armor, she wielded a spirit sword imbued with the power of the masses, and with a single strike, her pure killing intent seemed almost tangible.

Meanwhile, the Nine-Headed Serpent directly revealed its true form, transforming into a nine-headed giant serpent. With all nine heads moving, nine different Dao powers converged forth.

However, all of this power vanished under the attack of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's weapon!

A single sword sweeps across!

The three heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent were instantly severed.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stood atop everyone's heads; at this moment, she resembled a war goddess!

He then charged forward again, slashing at Jiuying with sword after sword, giving it no chance to recuperate.

The battle between the Purple Mansion and the demon race also began here, marking a significant turning point.

It was as if one point had triggered a chain reaction.
