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

Chapter 229 An Existence Like Pangu? Donghua's Fortuitous Encounter

In the Eye of Chaos, Donghua used all his abilities. The dragon-headed golden staff transformed into a golden dragon that coiled around his body, and the Kongtong Seal appeared above his head, transforming into a black Daoist crown.

The Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image appeared behind him, surrounded by the Three Thousand Great Daos. The Heavenly Emperor's True Body was fully activated, and the power of his True Body suppressed the chaos, causing ripples. It could be said that he was going all out.

Faced with attacks from tens of thousands of chaotic energy clouds, Donghua and Nuwa retreated instead of advancing, choosing a direction and moving forward to dodge all the attacks they could.

For attacks that couldn't be avoided, they had to fight back. The two attacked together, with Nuwa leading the charge and Donghua assisting from the side. They used the unique properties of the Three Thousand Great Daos to restrain some of the chaotic energy clusters.

Although it was their first time working together, the two showed great synergy in both offense and defense, dodging layers of chaotic energy along the way.

Just as they were about to break through the center of the Eye of Chaos, these chaotic energy clusters seemed to have sentience and began to converge together, merging and devouring each other.

In an instant, tens of thousands of chaotic energy clusters transformed into nine giant black-gray eyes, completely surrounding the two of them.

As Donghua sensed the nine terrifying giant eyes, he felt that he was going to die here today. This was definitely not something he could handle, because its cultivation level had definitely exceeded the third level of the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Nine giant eyes, like black holes in the universe, stood around, their terrifying aura locking onto Donghua and Nuwa, intent on swallowing up all invading enemies, and they launched an attack in an instant.

The giant eye emitted nine beams of light, devouring everything in its path. Nuwa tried her best to unleash a slash, but it could not affect the light in the slightest.

The blade's light was instantly devoured, and then it came straight at Nuwa. If it weren't for the protection of the Qiankun Cauldron and the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, Nuwa would have already lost her life here.

Upon seeing this, Donghua immediately manipulated the white lotus to roam freely, dodging various attacks.

The only thing to celebrate now is that these giant eyes' attacks are not targeted; they seem to be programmed and can be dodged. If they were truly humanoid, Donghua would have already released Hongjun's incarnation and started to escape.

The two hid here and there, but soon they discovered that the nine giant eyes were slowly closing in on each other, which meant that Donghua's escape space was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the opportunity was not right, Donghua immediately mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao, with the supreme treasure Heavenly Emperor Sword by his side, and unleashed a terrifying sword aura, which slashed towards the giant eye.

Nuwa did the same; the two joined forces to attack the giant eye, their swords and blades working in perfect harmony, and they were invincible, finally managing to break through an opening.

The two immediately leaped out, charging forward without regard for direction, focused solely on escaping for their lives.

The nine giant eyes behind them seemed to sense something and immediately chased after Donghua and Nuwa, even more frantically than before. During the chase, they absorbed the surrounding chaotic energy to strengthen themselves.

"Senior sister, no, we're running in the wrong direction. This direction is making these giant eyes even more frantic. There must be something incredible ahead."

Nuwa also sensed something was wrong. As the two moved forward, the giant eyes became even more frantic, as if they were afraid that the two would intrude into this place.

"Never mind that, run for your life!"

As soon as the words fell, Nuwa frantically urged the white lotus, and Donghua did the same. The white lotus instantly transformed into a beam of white light, passing through the eye of chaos and instantly shaking off the giant eye behind them!

Donghua and Nuwa didn't know how long or how far they had traveled, until at some point they stopped and looked around.

Nuwa took out a willow branch to determine the direction, and only then did she realize that the two had run in the wrong direction.

"Never mind all that for now, escaping is the priority!" Donghua couldn't possibly care about the new world right now. He was already grateful to be alive. Those giant eyes were becoming more and more terrifying, and even with the power of the Heavenly Dao, he was gradually becoming unable to resist them.

After the two continued walking for a while, a small world suddenly appeared before them, standing there, filled with purple and chaotic energy.

"That's innate purple energy and primordial chaos energy?" Donghua exclaimed in surprise, finding it hard to believe.

Even Nuwa, standing to the side, looked incredulous, followed by a greedy glint in her eyes.

This is innate purple energy and primordial chaotic energy!

Both of them had witnessed the innate purple aura; it was something indispensable for nurturing innate deities like themselves, and also a manifestation of the power of the Great Dao.

The Chaos Origin Qi exists only in legends. It is said that after Pangu, the Heaven-Opening Axe, and the Chaos Green Lotus were born from the Great Dao, they were nurtured in the Chaos Origin Qi in order to become the Great Dao with a spirit.

"Senior sister, it seems we've stumbled into an extraordinary place. I reckon those Chaos Eyes and the giant eyes chasing us are guarding this little world."

"I think so too. I just don't know what secrets this little world holds that would allow such a terrifying creature to guard it!" Nuwa's expression was grave, and the greed in her eyes had vanished completely.

But it makes sense, since both of them have already severed their three corpses, how could they be controlled by evil thoughts?

Donghua activated the Emperor's Path, with the Three Thousand Great Daos surrounding him. The Paths of Time and Space traversed the chaos, directly arriving at the small world, and his pair of divine eyes instantly perceived the world.

However, the previously unobstructed Dharma Eye could only see a thousand miles in this small world, which was truly unbelievable. Donghua once again mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao to enhance the Dharma Eye, and the visible range instantly expanded to 100,000 miles.

This also means that the third level of the Primordial Chaos Realm can only see a distance of 100,000 miles in this world.

Nuwa was the same; her pair of purple divine eyes, the eyes of creation, were always watching the world.

Until a certain moment, their gazes both stopped at the center of the small world, where a towering mountain stood between heaven and earth, the place where the innate purple energy and chaotic source energy were strongest.

The two looked up at the mountaintop, where it was filled with the power of the Great Dao's laws and rules; looking at it was like seeing the Great Dao itself!

At the center of the Great Dao's laws and rules, a purple jade coffin stands there, bathed in the Great Dao and absorbing the innate purple energy and chaotic primordial energy between heaven and earth.

Donghua swallowed unconsciously; the scene was truly shocking.

"I guess the father god Pangu back then was about this size!"

Just as the two were in shock, nine terrifying auras came from behind them, indicating that the giant eyes had caught up with them.

"What should we do?" Nuwa asked in a deep voice, at this moment she was also a little flustered.

Donghua rolled his eyes. Now he's scared? Where was he before? But now is not the time to worry about these things.

The reality facing the two was simple: moving forward meant certain death, and retreating also meant certain death.

What was gestating inside that jade coffin was far more terrifying than the giant eye behind them. If the two of them went in, they would definitely not come out alive; the most likely outcome would be that they would become nourishment for the jade coffin.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, this Eye of Chaos seems to possess sentience. We cannot attack it by force; we can only outsmart it. If the power of Heaven is exhausted here, we will be unable to reach that other world!"

After careful observation, Donghua discovered that the Eye of Chaos truly possessed sentience; otherwise, it wouldn't have targeted them so aggressively. He simply didn't know how it had developed sentience.

"What should we do then?" Nuwa asked in a deep voice. At this moment, she also regretted entering this eye. The terror and danger of the Chaos Eye had exceeded her expectations. There might really be a danger of death. The main problem was the unknown. Moving forward or backward was an unknown danger.

In fact, Donghua had a plan in mind, but he didn't know if it would work. However, things had come to this point, and he had to try it regardless of whether it would work or not.

If it's useful, great. If not, use the power of Heaven to fight your way out. If you can't win, just return to the Primordial World. You won't go to the New World. It's not a big deal.

"In this chaos, who do you think is the most useful?" Donghua didn't give an answer, but instead asked Nuwa, who was standing to the side.

Nuwa replied without hesitation, "Naturally, it is the Great Dao!"

But just as he finished speaking, as if he had realized something, he immediately said, "You mean Father God Pangu?"

Donghua nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not afraid that this thing has intelligence, but I'm afraid it's a mindless thing. Judging from its attack methods, its intelligence can't be that high. We might as well give it a try!"

The Great Dao is like the Heavenly Dao of the primordial world, and Pangu is like Hongjun of the primordial world. In the primordial world, who does not fear Hongjun?

These giant eyes happen to have low intelligence, so they might be able to fool them for a while. If things don't work out, they'll have to use the power of the Heavenly Dao or the incarnation of Hongjun to escape.

Nuwa looked at the nine terrifying giant eyes around her and said, "Alright, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll use the power of the Heavenly Dao to fight our way out, and then we'll devise a plan!"

After things were settled, the two acted together, while the nine giant eyes had already caught up.

Donghua took out twelve drops of blood, which were left behind by the twelve Ancestral Witches during the great battle of Zifu. It can't be said that they were left behind, because they were Donghua's spoils of war, which he had collected in large quantities at the time.

Moreover, there was also the blood of demons such as Di Jun and Tai Yi. Although there was relatively little essence blood and Dao blood, some of it was still found.

If one wants to simulate the aura of Pangu, the blood of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is the most suitable. Whose blood can be more authentic than that of the Ancestral Witches?

Donghua leaped into the air, and a long river appeared—the River of Fortune. Then, the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared simultaneously, and the Dharma Image of the Heavenly Emperor gradually emerged.

However, this time the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma form did not present the image of Donghua, but rather the original image of Pangu, in human form.

However, this only represents the form of Pangu, not the god Pangu!

Donghua then refined twelve drops of Ancestral Witch Blood Essence, merging them into the Great Dao and converging them upon the Pangu Dharma Image.

The Five Banners of Heaven and Earth appeared in his hand, which, together with the Dragon Head Golden Staff, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and the Kongtong Seal, transformed into the Heaven-Opening Axe.

An ancient and majestic figure appeared, its body reaching a height of 108,000 miles, wielding the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, and a violent aura of the Great Dao permeated the Eye of Chaos.

Donghua, in his true form, controlled the Pure World White Lotus, and together with Nuwa, they entered the shadow and jointly controlled the shadow of Pangu.

The moment Pangu's figure appeared in the Eye of Chaos, the nine giant eyes were overwhelmed by his aura as if they had encountered a natural enemy. They dared not step forward or launch an attack, as if they were wary and afraid of something.

"It works!"

Upon seeing this, Donghua was overjoyed and immediately mobilized a wisp of Heavenly Dao power to activate the Pangu Dharma Image, focusing it into his eyes.

A beam of light suddenly emanated from its eyes, sweeping across the area. As the light shone on one of the giant eyes, the giant eye immediately dispersed, transforming into thousands of beams of light.

The giant eye's retreat completely broke the encirclement, creating a path for Donghua and Nuwa.

The two simultaneously activated Pangu's figure and immediately flew towards that direction.

Just before they fled, as if by telepathy, they launched an attack together and entered the small world ahead, instantly absorbing a large amount of innate purple energy and chaotic source energy.

Then, instantly burning his magic power, Pangu's figure burst out of the encirclement like a beam of light, running non-stop all the way.

After a moment of hesitation, the eight giant eyes behind them seemed to understand something, or as if they had received some order, and began to chase after them again.

Donghua and Nuwa disregarded everything, unleashing their magical power with reckless abandon. Pangu's figure was no longer maintained, and together they rode the Pure World White Lotus, rushing forward.

Both of them understood that if they couldn't escape this time, they would never have another chance.

Their actions just before leaving had already alarmed the jade coffin in the small world. Although it is unknown what is inside, it is definitely extremely terrifying. It is estimated that even Hongjun's incarnation could not protect the two of them.

The two burned their magic power and moved forward, instantly crossing the central area and once again shaking off the giant eye behind them.

However, the two did not stop and continued to fly forward desperately until they reached the edge of the Eye of Chaos, where they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Donghua paused for a moment, then flew out of the Eye of Chaos and returned to the chaos.

Now it's truly safe!

Donghua opened his arms and absorbed the chaotic energy. He felt himself come back to life. The chaotic energy, which he had previously thought was violent, had never been as docile as it was at this moment.

However, compared to the chaotic energy within the Eye of Chaos, the chaos outside is simply paradise!

Just after Donghua and Nuwa escaped, the eight giant eyes of chaos also chased them to the edge of the area. After exchanging glances, they dispersed.

It transformed into countless orbs of light and continued to wander in the central area, seemingly aimlessly, but as if it were guarding something.

……

In a chaotic place, Donghua sat on a lotus platform, absorbing chaotic energy and transforming it into pure innate spiritual energy to replenish his previous consumption.

Nuwa, too, sat atop the Map of Mountains and Rivers, doing the same thing.

At one point, Nuwa awoke from her recovery. Just as she was about to get up, she found herself suppressed by a powerful force of the Great Dao, and then an ancient sword was pointed at her.

"Nuwa, this is Chaos, not the Primordial World. If you dare to act without authorization again, I will kill you!"

Once outside, Donghua could no longer suppress his anger. If this woman hadn't acted on her own, he wouldn't have encountered such danger.

This was the most dangerous situation he had encountered since his rebirth, without exception; even the crisis at the Purple Mansion back then was no more than this.

"good!"

Nuwa seemed to be in the wrong, so she didn't say anything more or defend herself.

Donghua's expression softened somewhat, but he still didn't retract his sword. He said coldly, "Hand over the willow branch. This time, all you need to do is listen to me."

Nuwa didn't hesitate and immediately offered the willow branch, then said, "Junior brother, is this alright? Have you calmed down?"

Donghua remained silent, took the willow branch, and put away the Heavenly Emperor Sword and the Pure World White Lotus.

"Junior brother, don't be angry. Although this time was full of danger, we also gained a lot."

As Nuwa finished speaking, she took out the portion of innate purple energy and primordial chaos energy that she had absorbed, and laughed happily.

Donghua felt a bit better after sensing the purple energy and primordial energy within his body; otherwise, he would have really suffered a huge loss this time.

"With this innate purple energy and primordial chaos energy, given enough time, we can definitely cultivate to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm," Nuwa said excitedly.

The innate purple energy and primordial chaotic energy can not only enhance magic power, aptitude, and physical condition, but most importantly, they can connect with the Great Dao, thereby refining one's own Great Dao. This is an immense opportunity for opening up new paths in the future.

Donghua also laughed out loud. Although this time was dangerous, the gains were really huge, which is why he didn't hold Nuwa's actions against him.

It's true that fortune and misfortune are intertwined!

"What do you think is being nurtured inside that jade coffin?" Donghua stopped focusing on the harvest and instead asked this question, which was something he really wanted to know.

Nuwa thought for a moment and said, "Do you think that it might be gestating something like the Father God Pangu, an embodiment of the Great Dao, preparing for the creation of the world?"

Donghua shook his head and said, "Impossible. What exists inside is definitely not the tangible Dao. I'm absolutely certain of that!"

He had considered this possibility, but felt it was impossible. After all, although that small world seemed upright and righteous, the chaotic eye that existed within it was too strange, completely lacking the light and majesty of the Great Dao.

Most importantly, those giant eyes were afraid of Pangu, and they seemed to be protecting that world. This also means that what was in the jade coffin was also afraid of Pangu, or rather, afraid of the Great Dao!

Nuwa thought about it for a moment and rejected her own idea. After all, the possibility was indeed very small. How could that jade coffin be compared to the Chaos Green Lotus?

But apart from that, she really couldn't imagine what kind of being could be conceived in that kind of environment; it was truly unbelievable.

Donghua stopped thinking about it and used the Heavenly Emperor Sword to leave a mark here. He would definitely come back here when his cultivation level was higher, since it was full of opportunities and his future path might depend on this place.

Nuwa smiled as she watched Donghua's actions, but said nothing, because she had also left the same mark.

Although this place is full of dangers, the opportunities in that other world are obvious to anyone with discerning eyes, and no one wants to miss them.

"Junior brother, next time you come, be sure to bring your senior sister along. We can work together!"

Donghua said nonchalantly, "No problem, I'll definitely call Senior Sister. But when Senior Sister comes again, don't forget me."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, each harboring their own secrets.

Donghua took out a willow branch, determined the direction, and the two of them traveled together, flying towards that world.

The two flew for an unknown amount of time, encountering some dangers along the way, but they easily overcame them all. Finally, they arrived at that world. In the distance, a vast world stood amidst the chaos, filled with the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The willow branches swayed as if something in the world was calling to them.
