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

Chapter 183 Intercepting Donghua Across Time and Space

Purple Mansion!

With Donghua in seclusion for cultivation, everyone in the Purple Mansion began to get busy.

Haotian devoted himself entirely to cultivation, relinquishing all power in the Dou Department, and single-mindedly sought to break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

The Grand Master of Fate, the Junior Master of Fate, the Lord of the Clouds, and the Barefoot Immortal all went into seclusion to cultivate, while only Taiyuan handled the daily affairs of the Purple Palace and guarded this time.

The Legend of the Eastern Emperor, also known as the Taiwei Chronicle, was widely disseminated across the prehistoric continent through the Wanbao Pavilion and circulated among all races.

Meanwhile, biographies of the nine emperors of the Purple Mansion also spread widely throughout the world, though not as widely as those of Donghua.

When the Taiwei Chronicle reached the prehistoric world, it caused a great uproar. It was most widely circulated among cultivators below the Great Luo level, who discussed every story in it. It was also very popular among female cultivators in the prehistoric world.

As a result, Donghua gained a large following of female fans and male fans, and his name was known throughout the world even before he left his Purple Mansion.

For a time, Donghua God was all the rage, and no matter where he was in the world, people would talk about him.

Some people started to speculate about conspiracy theories, wondering what the Purple Mansion's next move would be, when it would make its move, and whether it would destroy the demon race or the witch race first.

However, as time went by, the Purple Mansion remained inactive, while the Myriad Treasures Pavilion developed rapidly. But it never cared about the affairs of the Primordial World, focusing only on doing business and promoting Purple Mansion coins.

Some ignorant people, upon seeing this, thought that Donghua was making a fool of himself by inciting the crowd, that he had run out of tricks and dared not take action against the witches, and that he was unworthy of being called the number one person below Hunyuan.

Indeed, as the Taiwei Chronicle spread throughout the world, Donghua also gained this title: the number one person below Hunyuan.

Once this title was coined, no one stood up to refute it, as if they had tacitly accepted it.

Those who truly possess insight have already contacted the Purple Mansion through the Wanbao Pavilion, or have come directly to the Purple Mansion to seek refuge.

Therefore, every day some independent cultivators and small clans come to join the Purple Mansion.

It can truly be said that: though the Purple Palace did not leave the East Sea, it had already stirred up the primordial situation.

……

Jingyang Palace!

Donghua stands above the river of time and space, the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image merges with his own body, the Three Thousand Great Daos form the Three Thousand Divine Wheels, standing behind him, the Daoist rhyme flowing endlessly.

Suddenly, countless figures rushed in from all directions of the river of time, and each figure was a trace of Donghua's past timeline.

These figures exist in various timelines of the primordial world, forming a perfect closure of the past, present, and future. They can contain all beings with a single thought, or disperse into the long river of time with another.

This is a Great Golden Immortal, immeasurable indeed!

Strictly speaking, it is very difficult to completely kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal. As long as there is still a trace of his past self, he will be reincarnated and return. After cultivating to the Great Luo level, the two lives will combine, and his cultivation will experience another surge.

This reincarnation is not a cycle of rebirth, but a reincarnation of the Great Dao. After a long period of gestation, the Great Dao cultivated by the individual will combine with the past body and be reincarnated.

As Donghua absorbed the past body, it instantly formed a sense of perfection, which represents the perfection of the Great Luo.

Then the Great Dao of Time appeared, and Donghua stepped out, with three thousand divine wheels behind him moving in unison, instantly freezing the magnificent river of time and space.

"The Heavenly Emperor treads upon time!"

The Great Dao of Time was instantly mastered, and the Great Dao that accompanied the Great Dao of Time also instantly entered the realm of mastery. This is what is meant by "one path leads to the understanding of all paths".

As Donghua took this step, the three thousand divine wheels behind him underwent a complete sublimation, and then suddenly exploded, transforming into the three thousand Great Daos, and then into laws and fragments of laws.

Like the creation of heaven and earth, the Great Dao was born, spreading from the immeasurably large to the immeasurably small, throughout the long river.

Donghua closed his eyes slightly, calmly sensing the changes in the Great Dao.

After the three thousand Great Daos turned into nothingness, it seemed to reach an extreme point, and then instantly began to condense again.

Just a trace!

A wisp!

Fragments of the Law!

The Great Law!

Until the Great Way!

Everything seemed to have gone through a cycle, eventually returning to the starting point. The only constant was that the Three Thousand Great Daos had become stronger, meaning that Donghua had become stronger.

The Three Thousand Great Daos surrounded Donghua. The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image withdrew from its state of unity with the human form and stood behind Donghua. The Three Thousand Great Daos formed Three Thousand Divine Wheels that circled the Dharma Image, and the Heavenly Dao Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, appeared above his head.

At this moment, the long river of time and space, both light and darkness, was instantly illuminated, setting off from the river of time and space to shine upon all the heavens and the universe, past, present and future!

At this moment, the river of time seemed to stand still, without a ripple, as if it were meant to be this way.

At this moment, the Great Luo Quasi-Saints who had been cultivating in the long river of time were all awakened, casting their gazes from different dimensions, different times, and different spaces.

"That is the God of the East, he is cultivating himself."

"What level of cultivation do you think Donghua has reached now?" A Daoist Grandmaster asked, looking at his friend in the same dimension.

"I don't know, its power is boundless, its path is infinite, immeasurable and limitless!"

"As expected of someone hailed as the strongest below the Hunyuan realm, truly formidable! A true hero should be like him!"

……

One by one, the Great Luo Quasi-Saints uttered sighs, which came from the present time and space, interspersed with sighs from the past time and space, and murmured the ramblings of the future time and space.

At that moment, the river of time and space suddenly changed, as if a palm print had crossed time and space, coming from the future, intending to kill Donghua in the present with a single blow.

The palm prints appeared and disappeared intermittently, alternating between light and darkness, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, seemingly struggling to traverse different dimensions and different times and spaces.

"Look! Someone is crossing the river of time and space, trying to kill Donghua in the present."

"This is a power from the future!"

"Hmph, they're truly courting death. Even if they destroy Donghua now, so what? The Heavenly Dao hangs high; in their time and space, how could it possibly let them go!"

"That's right, this goes against the natural order. If everyone imitates this, wouldn't the primordial world be thrown into chaos? Who would dare to come to the River of Time in the future!"

"Fellow Daoist is right, but Donghua is truly in danger this time. Someone capable of traversing the future cannot be simple!"

As everyone spoke, at a certain moment, the palm print seemed to break through some kind of limitation, descending into the present time and space, and striking straight at Donghua.

The calm river of time and space suddenly became turbulent!

This palm strike had no magical fluctuations, only endless power of the Great Dao, and seemed quite ordinary.

However, wherever they went, the river of time and space fell silent, the river ceased to flow, and some weak Great Luo were instantly suppressed and destroyed.

Donghua, who was under the palm print, could clearly sense the immense power within it.

Because this is the Primordial Chaos Palm!

Having witnessed the power of Di Jun and Luo Hou, he instantly understood that this was the future Hunyuan crossing the river of time, trying to kill his present self with a single blow and completely obliterate the future.

"What kind of hatred is this, that it would disregard the punishment of Heaven and insist on destroying itself across time and space?"

Donghua murmured something, then channeled the power of the Great Dao. The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Form stretched out its hands, and the Three Thousand Great Dao Divine Wheels began to rotate.

"The Heavenly Emperor treads upon time!"

This is a divine power that Donghua has just comprehended, and now is the perfect time to test its power.

With this step, the Great Dao of Time spread from the long river and appeared beneath the palm print in an instant.

As the two touched, the palm print seemed to remain above the long river, unable to fall for a long time!

Behind Donghua, the three thousand Great Dao Divine Wheels were spinning rapidly, releasing the power of the Great Dao continuously and converging towards the suppression point.

But in the end, it is still no less than the power of Hunyuan!

The power of time was suppressed and destroyed, and boundless waves surged on the long river. Some Great Luo Golden Immortals with shallow cultivation were instantly blasted back from the long river, and Donghua was also blasted back a few steps.

The palm print descended once more, ready to annihilate!

"That's interesting!"

"Do you think you can kill me just because you transcend time and space dimensions?"

"That's utterly delusional! I, Donghua, am invincible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donghua threw a punch!

The power of the Purple and Azure Heavens circulated throughout his body, the Eight Trigrams of Immortal and Demonic Unity appeared, and the power of the Emperor's Way drove the Three Thousand Great Daos, converging on the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image, and soaring into the sky!

With a single punch, the River of Time erupted, and the surging power of the river once again repelled several people. At this moment, there were no more Great Luo Immortals in the river; only Quasi-Saints could witness the grand spectacle.

The punch landed on the palm print, seemingly without much of a ripple, and still couldn't stop it from falling.

Unwilling to give up, Donghua threw another punch, unleashing a barrage of fist imprints from the power of the Emperor's Way, the Eight Trigrams, and Pure Yang.

Countless fist imprints rose into the air, as if a series of suns had appeared in the long river.

As the attack landed on the palm print, the hand finally stopped!

The two clashed repeatedly above the long river, their fist imprints concentrating their attacks on a single point. In the end, they only managed to break a thumb formed from the power of the Great Dao, failing to truly destroy the palm!

Donghua was not surprised to see this. Hunyuan is Hunyuan. Although this was just a palm strike that transcended time and space, it was by no means comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint.

Donghua activated the power of the Emperor's Way, and the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image once again converged and merged with Donghua, becoming one with him.

Golden light emanated from his eyes, and wherever his gaze fell, time stood still and the long river calmed!

Then he summoned the Dragon Head Golden Staff and the Kongtong Seal, which surrounded him. With a casual flick of his wrist, Donghua caused the situation to change instantly.

The golden staff transformed into a sword!

The Kongtong Seal is the hilt of the sword!

A golden longsword appeared!

Donghua raised his hand and gripped his sword, channeling the power of the Emperor's Way. He unleashed a slash that struck straight at the palm of the Great Dao, displaying an aura of drawing a sword to cleave the heavens.

Where the sword light passed, the long river was split in two!

This sword strike is unparalleled!

This is also Donghua's current peak combat strength!

The sword light landed on the palm of the Great Dao, and the power of the Great Dao clashed. In an instant, worlds evolved and worlds perished.

The sword light pressed forward relentlessly, instantly slicing off five fingers, leaving only the palm. The sword strike that was unleashed at that moment was also obliterated by the palm.

His palm descended straight down!

Donghua made no defense at this moment, as if he had already resigned himself to his fate.

Upon witnessing this scene, many Quasi-Saints exclaimed in shock: "Hun Yuan is indeed Hun Yuan. Even the number one Quasi-Saint cannot defeat him. Dong Hua's demise is imminent."

"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist. The power of the Primordial Chaos is incomparable to that of a Quasi-Saint. It's just a pity for Donghua. He was just accepted as a disciple by the Dao Ancestor, and now he's about to perish."

"Alas, despite all our scheming, we are ultimately no match for the power of Hunyuan. When will we be able to attain the Dao of Hunyuan? Such great power is truly enviable."

A demon quasi-saint exclaimed in delight, "Heaven has eyes! That treacherous Donghua is finally going to die! Hahaha!"

Laughter echoed throughout the long river of time!

Donghua, standing beneath his palm, smiled slightly and casually tossed out an object without even using his magic power or the power of the Great Dao.

The object that was thrown away was none other than the supreme treasure of Heaven, the Jade Disc of Creation!

Donghua laughed. In fact, from the moment someone reversed time to kill him, he never intended to defeat them with his own strength.

Because it's unrealistic; no matter how outstanding or exceptionally talented you are, it's impossible to achieve.

A Primordial being is a Primordial being, and a Quasi-Saint is a Quasi-Saint; the difference between the two is as vast as heaven and earth.

Some powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortals can kill a Quasi-Saint using spiritual treasures and the like, but a Quasi-Saint can never kill a Primordial Chaos.

Because those who can achieve Hunyuan are not weak; they are all at the pinnacle of the Dao. Where Hunyuan stands, it is as if the Great Dao has existed since time immemorial!

The Jade Disc of Creation rose into the air and struck the palm of the hand.

The palm instantly disintegrated and ceased to exist, as if it had never been there.

The Jade Disc of Creation released its light once more, and the turbulent river of time and space instantly calmed down, returning to its original state.

Subsequently, the Jade Disc of Creation fell into Donghua's hands!

This scene left everyone stunned.

"Alas, he is indeed the direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor. With the Jade Disc of Creation, who can kill Donghua!"

"I wonder who struck this palm. It was all in vain and only brought disaster upon themselves. They are probably facing the wrath of Heaven right now."

"I guess it should be the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder."

"Too small, too narrow-minded. I think it's a destructive divine thunder."

……

"Hahaha……"

Donghua burst into laughter, the sound reverberating through the past, present, and future. He felt truly exhilarated at that moment.

It feels so good to have connections!

At this moment, he experienced the joy of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. You must know that Tongtian in later generations was someone who dared to reopen the primordial world and reenact the cycle of earth, fire, water, and wind.

It sounds like just a sentence, but Tongtian didn't just talk about it; he actually did it, even though he didn't finish it.

But in this process, countless living things perished, and countless mountains and continents were destroyed.

But in the end, all he got was to be taken back to Zixiao Palace for secluded cultivation.

This is just like a child who has made a mistake being taken home by their parents to be disciplined. What does that amount to?

Moreover, whether bringing him back to Zixiao Palace is punishment or an attempt to avoid disaster remains to be seen!

However, he felt more like he was avoiding trouble. How could Heaven let Tongtian off the hook for what he had done?

But in the end, he was fine, which means that Hongjun saved him!

Donghua looked at the calmed river of time without giving it much thought, as he couldn't guess who had created that palm print.

The possibility of the Six Saints is unlikely; they shouldn't be so foolish as to cross time and space to kill him. As for whether there will be other Primordial Chaos beings in the future, he really can't be sure.

After all, Hunyuan is different from a sage. When one achieves Hunyuan, the Heavenly Dao will not send down purple qi to celebrate, but the extraordinary phenomenon of proving the Dao of Hunyuan can be concealed.

When Donghua stepped out of the river of time and returned to Jingyang Palace, he never expected that a journey to cultivate the Great Dao of Time and a trip through time and space would lead to such a calamity.

Fate is truly unpredictable!

However, Donghua stopped thinking about it. After all, it was a matter for the future, and there was no point in thinking about it too much.

Moreover, if a Hunyuan could kill him across time and space, then he must have been a Hunyuan himself at that time.

So this is good news, at least knowing that you can attain the Primordial Dao, even though it's only a possibility for the future.

Because the future is not fixed. For example, if Donghua knows that he will be able to attain the Primordial Dao in the future, but does not cultivate properly, then it is possible that his true self will not be able to attain the Primordial Dao.

However, this also proves that the Emperor's Path can lead to the Primordial Chaos, and that he has not gone astray on his path.
