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

Chapter 243 The Three Pure Ones' Enlightenment, the Mysterious Qi

The Chaos Bell flew back into Taiyi's hand once more. Jieyin and Zhunti were defeated, and Longevity Mountain fell silent again.

"No one can stop me from doing what I'm about to do, and no one is qualified to stop me."

Tai Zhang's arrogant voice echoed throughout Longevity Mountain, terrifying all who heard it, while the demon army surrounding Longevity Mountain roared wildly.

"Demon! Demon! Demon!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

The sound resounded through the heavens, and the shouts of millions of demons caused the sky and earth to change color, and the clouds in the nine heavens to tremble.

"Hahaha!"

Taiyi burst into loud laughter, his unrestrained laughter echoing across Longevity Hill.

Within the space, gazing at the arrogant Taiyi, Taishang said in a deep voice, "Second brother, third brother, why don't you two test Taiyi? I have a feeling there's something strange about him!"

Yuanshi snorted coldly and said, "Why bother testing him? Watch me break his supernatural powers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi appeared on Longevity Mountain in a flash, with Tongtian following closely behind.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, I am late, please forgive me!"

Zhen Yuanzi quickly replied, "Not at all, Brother Dao has arrived at the perfect time. We can take down this demon Taiyi in one fell swoop."

Yuanshi laughed heartily and echoed, "Hahaha, fellow Daoist, your words are exactly what I thought. I don't see even a trace of a primordial saint in Taiyi; he's nothing but a demon, no different from Dijun, just Rahu's demon cub!"

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, especially Zhunti, who mocked Taiyi again, showing that he wouldn't lose face even if he lost the argument.

"Senior brother, Taiyi has already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and we are no match for him. We have already come once today, and we have gained both favor and benefits. After they start fighting, we will return to the Western Lands. There, even if Taiyi breaks through to the Quasi-Saint realm, as long as he dares to come, we will make sure he never returns!"

After laughing, Zhunti secretly transmitted his voice to Duiyin, saying that he felt no sense of security at all on Longevity Mountain.

Jieyin shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, there's no rush. Today I observed Taiyi's fortune. Although it shines like the sun, it's like a floating duckweed in the rain, without any foundation. His fortune and momentum have come to an end!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti glanced at his senior brother in shock, then looked at Taiyi. He scanned with his Dharma Eye, but it was suppressed by the power of the Great Dao emanating from Taiyi's body, and he could see nothing.

Then he looked at his senior brother. He felt that Jieyin was fooling him. Although his strength was not as good as his senior brother's, it was not that much worse. I can't see anything, but you can see it at a glance.

But Jieyin said nothing more. The old god began to heal his wounds and started watching the battle between Yuanshi and Taiyi.

This is the first clash between the Primordial Chaos Bell and the Primordial Pangu Banner, both of which are treasures of creation. Everyone is filled with anticipation. The only downside is that Yuanshi is only at the peak of Quasi-Saint, one realm below Taiyi.

Meanwhile, all the powerful beings in the prehistoric world were watching the battle at Wanshou Mountain, especially the Northern Darkness Kunpeng Ancestor and the Blood Sea Styx Ancestor, who were hiding near Wanshou Mountain.

In fact, the two of them had long ago plotted together how to scheme against Hongyun and seize the Primordial Purple Qi.

Unexpectedly, Taiyi made the first move, and the Primordial Purple Qi was not in Hongyun's hands. At this moment, they felt fortunate that they hadn't made a move, otherwise they would have gained nothing and offended three powerful figures.

Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Donghua!

Especially Donghua, Hongyun offered you the Primordial Purple Qi, but suffered a great calamity because of it. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?

Within the Purple Palace of the East Sea, the Queen Mother of the West observed the battle through the Kunlun Mirror.

At a certain moment, however, he suddenly gave the order:

"Fuxi, Longbo, Da Siming, Shao Siming, Yunzhongjun!"

"exist!"

"I trouble the five emperors to lead their armies to Longevity Mountain and await the opportune moment. At that time, we will wipe out those millions of demons in one fell swoop, completely break the demons' backbone, and destroy the demons' power in the Heavenly Court."

After the words were spoken, the five of them were a little confused. Taiyi clearly had the upper hand, so why did Zifu still need to send troops to suppress the demon race? But none of them asked any more questions and accepted the order!

"Your Majesty, is it His Majesty...?"

"No need to ask any more questions, go!"

The five gathered a million-strong army of Purple Mansion warriors, hid them in the spatial world, and began their journey towards Longevity Mountain.

……

On Longevity Hill!

Yuanshi didn't say anything, but took a few steps back. The Pangu Banner appeared in his hand, and an ancient and profound aura emerged, as if that was the Dao itself.

Pangu Banner, a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation!

It possesses the power to tear apart the primordial chaos, the power to shatter the heavens and the universe, the power to interpret the boundless way of creation, and the power to open up the world.

Furthermore, it can control the power of heaven and earth, and its ability to attack and create is unparalleled in the primordial world.

It is the master of the methods of "destruction," "establishment," "forbiddenness," and "annihilation," capable of releasing chaotic sword energy, making it the most lethal weapon.

The primordial power surged, the Great Dao emerged, and the Pangu Banner in his hand released chaotic energy, which then transformed into endless chaotic sword energy.

Centered on the Primordial One himself, the chaotic sword energy raged, the void began to shatter, mountains and rivers collapsed, and earth, water, fire and wind reappeared in the world, and then transformed into a chaotic world.

It marched towards Taiyi to suppress him!

Taiyi held a sword in one hand and a bell in the other.

The power of the Great Dao burst forth, and the Chaos Bell was released from his hand, heading towards the Primordial Beginning to suppress it.

The Chaos Bell possesses the power to suppress the "Primordial World", the power to reverse the "spacetime of all heavens", the power to evolve the "mysterious secrets of the Heavenly Dao", and the ability to refine the elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind".

It's incredibly versatile, unparalleled in defense, offense, and suppression.

A priceless treasure that should not exist in the world!

The two rose from Longevity Mountain and engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.

The power of the two innate treasures changed the color of the sky and disrupted spacetime, yet they were easily suppressed.

The fighting continues!

Although Yuanshi's realm was not as high as Taiyi's, he cultivated the three paths of gods, immortals, and demons, and with the innate treasure Pangu Banner, which was unparalleled in attack and destruction, he was able to fight Taiyi to a standstill for a time.

However, the difference in realms is still there. Taiyi has already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and is a true Quasi-Saint. His Great Dao and magic power are almost in perfect harmony. In addition, with the innate treasure Chaos Bell, he can indeed be invincible in the current prehistoric world.

Perhaps he is not invincible, because there is another Supreme Being of the same realm, who also possesses innate treasures and merit treasures, but whose strength is unknown, waiting for an opportunity to act.

But regardless, the current Primordial is indeed inferior to the One of the Taiyi.

As the battle continued, Yuanshi gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. With the support of Taiyi's primordial power, the powerful Chaos Bell forced Yuanshi to retreat step by step, and Yuanshi began to suffer some injuries.

But Yuanshi didn't care about any of that. He only knew how to charge and kill. The Pangu Banner in his hand surged, and the boundless chaotic sword energy caused the heavens and the sky to change color. The endless void appeared before everyone's eyes, and every collision made the heavens and the earth tremble.

"You little brat, today I'll show you how utterly worthless your arrogance is!"

Taiyi took a few steps back, the Chaos Bell empowering his right hand. The bronze bell and his entire arm gradually merged together, as if they were one whole.

A punch was thrown!

The world is silent, and time flows backward!

Yuanshi also went all out, unleashing the power of the three paths of gods, immortals, and demons, as well as the three thousand great paths. The Jade Purity Great Path pierced through heaven and earth, and the auspicious clouds of the heavens protected him. The Pangu Banner in his hand stirred up chaotic sword energy.

"Chan!"

A vast and righteous voice resounded between heaven and earth, causing the power of the Heavenly Dao to manifest in the primordial world. The Primordial Purple Qi within the primordial spirit trembled instantly, driving the Chaos Sword Qi. The two forces combined and attacked Taiyi.

"Buzz!"

"Splash!"

Voices echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and the rivers of time and destiny appeared. The two converged, presenting a chaotic and mysterious color, from which purple energy was born.

"This is the primordial chaos!"

The collision between the two actually united time and space, creating the primordial chaos.

After the attack, Yuanshi was knocked to the ground and spat out a mouthful of divine blood.

Taiyi stood in the sky, but a trace of golden divine blood was left at the corner of his mouth.

The results were obvious: Yuanshi was seriously injured, while Taiyi only suffered minor injuries.

But the truth is that Yuanshi laughed heartily on the earth, while Taiyi had a gloomy face in the sky.

Yuanshi stood up and laughed heartily, "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Taiyi for his help; my Dao is complete!"

Hearing this, Taiyi's face darkened even more. He felt extremely aggrieved. Although he had won, it was as if he was the one who had lost in the end.

It's really so painful.

An endless killing intent surged toward Yuanshi, causing boundless shockwaves.

But at that moment, two figures appeared in front of Yuanshi, namely Tongtian and Taishang, who blocked all the attacks and pressure.

"Taiyi, let me test your abilities!"

The Qingping Sword appeared around Tongtian, surrounded by the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords. A powerful sword intent surged through the heavens, and the purest killing intent, amplified by the power of the Great Dao, swept across the sky.

But Taiyi snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You and Yuanshi are both unworthy of my attention. Let Taiyi come up here. Do you three Pure Ones intend to use a tag-team approach? If you have no shame, then come at me all at once! What do I have to fear!"

The Supreme Being smiled nonchalantly and said softly, "No need. Let my third brother fight. If he loses, the Three Pure Ones will not intervene today. What do you say?"

Taiyi snorted coldly, but the anger in his heart had reached its peak. Taishang's words were really too insulting. Although Tongtian was powerful and his Zhuxian Sword Formation was unparalleled, he was still a little short of defeating him.

Tongtian stepped forward and slowly stood in the sky.

"Taiyi, I will only strike once, and after that, I will not attack again. This is the sword strike I promised Donghua!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Don't even mention a single sword strike; I'd let you unleash a hundred, a thousand strikes, what harm could I do? You're too weak!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was not angry. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, and a powerful aura began to gather.

He slowly raised the Qingping Sword in his hand, surrounded by the four swords Zhuxian, Luxian, Juexian, and Xianxian, each with its own distinct sword intent.

The Zhuxian Sword is incredibly sharp; a single slash of its sword energy can cleave through the void.

The Immortal Slayer Sword represents death; its sword energy is terrifyingly powerful, a vast and boundless force of ultimate death.

The Trapping Immortal Sword represents desire. When the Trapping Immortal Sword Qi is activated, red light flashes everywhere. Those who have not severed their three corpses will inevitably fall into the world of desire and will eventually be killed by the Trapping Immortal Sword Qi.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword is infinitely versatile; the word "Immortal" encapsulates its entirety. Its endless variations instill despair, ultimately leading to the sword's slaying in the midst of that despair.

The four sword intents and the three thousand great Daos of Tongtian formed a sword array, and then the Shangqing Dao governed everything. All the power gathered on the Qingping Sword, and a vast power began to slowly rise.

This power gives people a sense of hope, yet it also feels capable of shattering everything, as if it wants to break the shackles of the heavenly order and achieve its own path.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was full of praise.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but say, "Brother Dao, it seems we've fallen behind again. Whether it's Donghua or the Three Pure Ones, they've all surpassed us. The late-stage Quasi-Saints are clearly very strong, but now they seem to be nothing at all."

Hongyun nodded. This ordeal had indeed made him see many things clearly, and it seemed that this experience had helped him grow a lot.

Outside Longevity Mountain, Fuxi and the others had already arrived. Upon seeing Tongtian's sword, their eyes showed a moment of melancholy, but this was quickly replaced by boundless fighting spirit.

"It's almost time. I'll break through to the peak realm soon. As long as the Purple Mansion unifies the world, I'll be able to break through."

Longbo glanced at Fuxi, then at the people of Wanshou Mountain, and sighed, "The innate saints of your generation are truly extraordinary. Their achievements have surpassed those of the ancient and Longhan periods. This is the best of times, and the worst of times."

Fuxi disagreed, retorting, "Has it truly surpassed the ancient era?"

"In the ancient times, Dao Ancestor alone dominated the entire prehistoric world, as did Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, and those earliest innate saints. Which of these people was simple? Perhaps the innate saints of this generation are indeed extraordinary, but they still have a long way to go."

What else can Longbo say? You've even brought up the Dao Ancestor. What can I say but that you're right?

Above Longevity Mountain, Taiyi was finally moved after seeing Tongtian's sword strike. He sensed danger and the aura of death, and immediately attacked with all his might.

The Chaos Bell trembled, its sealing power surged, heaven and earth stood still, and spacetime twisted. Tongtian, who was accumulating power, was instantly affected.

A suppressive force from the Great Dao prevented him from unleashing his full power and also interrupted his accumulation of strength.

But faced with this situation, Tongtian not only showed no fear, but seemed even more excited.

"Going against the will of Heaven and attempting to thwart the Way of Heaven, how can there be no resistance? Taiyi, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Use them all at once."

Tongtian's power of the Great Dao was suppressed by thirty percent by the Chaos Bell, but his swordsmanship, the sword intent condensed on the Qingping Sword, became even sharper and more dangerous, as if it would cut through everything at any moment.

However, seeing that Taiyi on the other side no longer tried to stop him but instead focused on resisting the sword, Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light, like sword light, illuminated hundreds of millions of miles of territory.

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, one is hidden away, leaving a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the world."

"My path to immortality is one of these escape techniques, defying the heavens, ascending to the heavens, to find this glimmer of hope for all living beings!"

"A single sword cleaves the heavens!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tongtian swung the Qingping Sword in his hand, and a sword beam slashed out, piercing through billions of miles of sky, as if there was only this one sword in the world.

If the final chaotic sword energy of the Primordial Beginning was to draw out the power of the Heavenly Dao and unite with the Heaven, then the Heavenly Connection was to sever the power of the Heavenly Dao and draw in the power of all living beings, so that I may become one with it.

One against four, a battle against the heavens!

However, it must be said that Heaven is really magnanimous, actually allowing such a way to exist. Isn't this just finding someone to oppose it and let it keep making things difficult for it?

Perhaps this is not the true intention of Heaven, but rather the will of the Great Dao, after all, the Three Pure Ones originated from the Great Dao and from Pangu.

As this sword strike was unleashed, Tongtian's aura seemed to rise to a new level, and a flawless Dao heart emerged, as if he were about to ascend to the Dao at this moment.

The path to heaven has been completed!

Facing this sword, Taiyi showed no fear and did not even use the Chaos Bell. He swung the Taishi Sword in his hand and also unleashed a sword beam.

However, this sword carried the power of world destruction, the ultimate destructive power.

Meanwhile, in a grand hall, three people were watching the battle: Hongjun, Donghua, and Nuwa from Zixiao Palace.

That's right, Donghua and Nuwa have returned from the chaos. They arrived in the primordial world just as Yuanshi made his move.

"Master, I feel there's something fishy about how quickly Taiyi has broken through to his current level. Could you please enlighten me?"

In Zixiao Palace, Donghua voiced his doubts. Although he admitted that Taiyi was indeed extraordinary, it was absolutely impossible to reach this level.

Moreover, the destructive intent in that swordplay is not the Great Dao of Taiyi, yet the two appear to be in harmony.

Nuwa, standing nearby, frowned and asked, "Master, Taiyi's strange behavior reminds me of Shen Ni from the Undying Volcano. The terrifying destructive intent is indeed very similar. Is there any connection between the two?"

She had just used the Heavenly Dao to deduce, but she couldn't figure out anything strange about Taiyi, so this matter was definitely not simple.

You must know that she is a saint. In this primordial world, if you want to truly calculate something, as long as there is a trace, you can basically calculate it, even during the Great Tribulation.

Hongjun glanced at the two of them and slowly said, "It seems you have both noticed something is wrong. In fact, this matter is indeed related to Shenni, but not so much, because Shenni is only a part of it, but it is the largest part, while Taiyi obtained a different part."

"However, the two have similarities, which is why Taiyi's strength has improved so rapidly. What I didn't expect was that the original source that disappeared back then actually fell into Luo Hou's hands and was eventually placed on Taiyi. Now the two can be considered to have truly become one."

Donghua and Nuwa looked up and found that the other was also looking at them. Their eyes were filled with incomprehension, completely incomprehensible.

Qi, Shenni, Taiyi, Rahu!

What is the connection between these people, and who exactly are they? Even Hongjun felt a bit wary.

But judging from Hongjun's expression, he didn't seem to want to say much more. Meanwhile, the battle between Taiyi and Tongtian had come to an end, with no clear winner!

However, Tongtian was no longer able to fight. That one sword strike had exhausted all his energy, and he was no longer able to unleash another.

But Taiichi is perfectly fine!

"Donghua, Taiyi's fate and the fate of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court have run out. Go and clean up the mess, bring back the portion of Taiyi's original power, and I will answer your questions then. It's better not to reveal it now and let it affect your next battle!"

Although Donghua was puzzled, he still replied, "Yes, Master!"

……

P.S.: There should be one more chapter. I'm going to update 10,000 words today. I was supposed to finish it yesterday, but I got really sick and couldn't write anything. I had no inspiration at all, so I took the day off and am getting an IV drip at the hospital.

Double monthly votes needed, please give me some more monthly votes.

One last thing: I will make time to read all your comments.

Several people said it was slow and infrequent, and others said the writing was terrible.

I don't want to explain the first question. I've already talked too much about why I haven't achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm yet, so I don't want to say it again. This book isn't a mindless wish-fulfillment novel; it doesn't have that kind of constant face-slapping.

As for the issue of updating too infrequently, I think it's already quite difficult. I'm a part-timer, updating 6,000 words a day, and I'm also ranked on the power rankings. Updating one chapter a day is just a way to complete the daily update (power rankings are based on word count!).

Finally, I sincerely accept the fact that my writing is not good, because this is Wangyue's first time writing a novel, and my writing is indeed just average. I have also been reading other great authors' books in my spare time, hoping to improve my writing skills.

This content is free. Since it's the second time it's being published, the billing only applies to the first publication. I'm writing it here so you can see it.
