Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 583 Summoning the Power of Pangu's Axe to Open the Heavens and Earth

"The Demon Ancestor Rahu is indeed powerful. His World-Destroying Millstone truly deserves the name of a supreme treasure of chaos."

Zhao Gongming spared no praise.

Luo Hou sneered, "What, you think you can beg for mercy from me by saying a few nice words? You're thinking too simply."

"No, I am simply stating a fact."

Zhao Gongming shook his head, his expression turning solemn. He slowly raised the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, and asked, "Does the Demon Ancestor recognize this spiritual treasure?"

"This is."

Rahu had obviously never seen the Chaos Bell, but he could sense a supreme and profound aura emanating from it, a aura that shared the same origin as the Pangu Banner and the Taiji Diagram.

But Rahu did not delve into this point. A cold smile flashed across his face as he wielded the World-Destroying Millstone and attacked Zhao Gongming directly.

This young man was unassuming and unassuming, but in Luo Hou's perception, Zhao Gongming felt even more dangerous than Hongjun did.

Rahu charged forward with the force of thunder. The saints and Hunyuan cursed Rahu for being shameless, but at the same time they were worried about Zhao Gongming. Putting aside cultivation, just in terms of spiritual treasures, Zhao Gongming was already at a complete disadvantage. No one could defeat a Primordial Treasure against a Chaos Treasure.

Zhao Gongming took a deep breath, channeling all his magical power into the chaos. The next moment, a bell rang, shaking the heavens and the earth. The intense Xuanhuang light almost ignited. Zhao Gongming's figure flashed, and he was already engaged in battle with Luo Hou.

The World-Destroying Millstone lived up to its reputation as a Chaos Treasure. After only a hundred rounds, Zhao Gongming was already at a significant disadvantage. His cultivation level was relatively low, as he and Luo Hou were both at the peak of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal realm, with a negligible difference. The biggest difference, however, lay in their two treasures.

If Rahu's own strength is equivalent to ten parts, then the Great Millstone of Annihilation is equivalent to twenty parts. Together, they have a total of thirty parts of strength!

Zhao Gongming's strength is comparable to Luo Hou's, a perfect ten.

However, the Chaos Bell is only equivalent to five parts, and when all of them are added together, they amount to fifteen parts, which is only half of Rahu's. This is the difference between the two.

"boom!"

The Great Millstone of Annihilation and the Chaos Bell collided once again, and Zhao Gongming was directly blown away by the huge ripples of Dao essence.

But he reacted extremely quickly. While still in mid-air, he had already neutralized the Dao essence and landed steadily, allowing the demonic power to erode him without him moving an inch.

A cold smile crept across Luo Hou's face. "You are stronger than that old Taoist Hongjun, but unfortunately, you will still be defeated today—no, you will perish!"

Zhao Gongming smiled. "Is the Demon Ancestor so sure?"

"To think you can contend with me with a supreme innate treasure is nothing short of delusional."

Luo Hou's face was filled with undisguised mockery.

Zhao Gongming, unhurried, slowly explained, "The Chaos Bell is merely a primordial treasure, but what if we add the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner as well?"

"What?"

Rahu was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He knew that when Pangu created the world, the Pangu Axe, a supreme treasure of chaos, shattered into three treasures—the Pangu Banner, the Taiji Diagram, and the Chaos Bell—because it could not withstand the power of creation.

But it is precisely because I understand this clearly that I feel Zhao Gongming's words make no sense at all.

The Pangu Axe has long been broken and lost to the long river of history. Could it be that Zhao Gongming has the ability to reshape the Pangu Axe?

Luo Hou shook his head, absolutely not!

Zhao Gongming's expression was solemn as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "In my name, I call upon the Pangu Axe!"

At this moment, the Chaos Bell trembled violently, as if it had encountered a blood relative, and continued to tremble greatly.

Not only the Chaos Bell, but also the Pangu Banner in Yuanshi's hand and the Taiji Diagram in Taiqing's hand, all began to tremble slightly.

"This is!"

Both Taiqing and Yuanshi showed shock on their faces. The Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner had been in their hands for hundreds of millions of years and had long become a part of them. Now, they were showing signs of breaking away from their control.

"What is he doing?"

Styx's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Zhao Gongming in shock.

Tongtian said with a solemn expression, "Back then, when Father God Pangu created the world, the divine artifact Pangu Axe could not withstand the power of creation and shattered, transforming into the three treasures: the Chaos Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Axe. Now, he intends to use the Chaos Bell as the core to forcibly summon the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner to reshape the Pangu Axe."

"The Pangu Axe is shattered; can it truly be rebuilt?"

Styx raised a question.

"I don't know, but I suppose he's confident. If he summons the Pangu Axe, then this battle shouldn't be too difficult."

Tongtian's face was filled with complex emotions. He was proud of Zhao Gongming, but also regretted why he couldn't bear to give up his cultivation and only cut off his own life now. Otherwise, he could have fought alongside them today.

The gravitational pull emanating from the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner grew stronger and stronger, and the two supreme treasures seemed poised to fly towards the heavens.

Taiqing said solemnly, "He wants to recreate the Pangu Axe. Let's give him the spiritual treasure."

Taiqing withdrew the magical power he had placed on the Taiji diagram. The Taiji diagram spun around in mid-air, as if bidding farewell to Taiqing, before transforming into a streak of light and flying rapidly toward the heavens.

Yuanshi's face was grim. After pondering for a few breaths, he finally released his control over the Pangu Banner, just like Taiqing had done. The Pangu Axe immediately transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the heavens.

The heavens were shrouded in mist, as if returning to the chaotic beginning of creation, a state of utter confusion, where earth, fire, water, and wind trembled, annihilating all things. After annihilation, all things would revive in a new cycle, endlessly cycling and turning.

Zhao Gongming stood on a golden auspicious cloud, holding in his hands the Chaos Bell, which shone with a dark yellow light. On the left and right sides of the Chaos Bell were the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner, respectively.

The three innate treasures came together, their auras interacting and forming a cycle. Although their Dao essence was far less concentrated than that of the World-Destroying Millstone in Luo Hou's hands, they far surpassed the scope of innate treasures.

"Freeze!"

Zhao Gongming clasped his hands together, unleashing all the power of a peak Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Wuji, attempting to use his supreme power to reunite the Three Treasures of Creation.

No matter how hard Zhao Gongming tried, the three treasures—the Chaos Bell, the Pangu Banner, and the Taiji Diagram—were always mutually attracted and could never be fully integrated.

Luo Hou watched coldly from the sidelines, the Great Millstone of Annihilation hovering above his head, radiating an extreme aura of destruction, but he did not take advantage of Zhao Gongming's reshaping of the Pangu Axe.

It wasn't that he was unwilling, but that he couldn't. The remnants of Pangu's will still exist in the vast land beneath the Buzhou Mountain ruins.

What kind of being was Pangu? Even after his death and the disappearance of his Dao for billions of years, his will still possessed power that was infinitely close to that of the Great Dao.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to perfectly contain all the aftershocks of his battle with Hongjun within the Buzhou Mountain ruins.

If he were to make a move now, it would inevitably provoke the will of Pangu. Even if he were to wield the Great Millstone of Annihilation and forcefully defeat the will of Pangu, the Three Realms would surely collapse. In that case, what would be the point of his counterattack against the Primordial World?

Therefore, if he wants to conquer the Three Realms and turn them into the domain of the demonic path, he must first defeat Zhao Gongming with the overwhelming power of the demonic path.

The three treasures—the Chaos Bell, the Pangu Banner, and the Taiji Diagram—failed to coalesce. Zhao Gongming's face turned cold, and he abruptly slammed his hand down on the ground.

"boom!!!"

The earth-shattering Dao essence generated endless ripples, spreading outwards in concentric circles. The land hundreds of millions of miles below Mount Buzhou began to tremble violently, and a massive torrent of the earth's primordial energy surged directly from the ground, pouring without reservation onto the Three Treasures of Creation.

With the power of the boundless earth veins and the blessing of Pangu's will, the three treasures of creation, which had always been difficult to integrate, finally began to change.

The Pangu Banner transformed into the Heaven-Opening Axe Blade!

The Tai Chi symbol has transformed into the back of the axe that cleaved the heavens!

The Chaos Bell transformed into the handle of the Heaven-Opening Axe!
