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

Once outside the Demonic Ancestral Court, all that could be seen was an endless stream of extraterrestrial demons!

There are lower-level demons, middle-level demons, and upper-level demons, as well as demon kings and demon emperors. They hover over the entire Mount Sumeru, day and night, constantly breathing demonic energy, turning the former Buddhist ancestral home into the number one demonic realm in the Three Realms.

As soon as Zhao Gongming got up and stepped out the door, a Heavenly Demon Emperor with the cultivation of a quasi-saint immediately came up to him with a fawning smile, "My lord, why have you come out of seclusion at this time?"

Wutian glanced indifferently at the Heavenly Demon Emperor. "What, can't I come out?"

That day, the Demon Emperor's heart trembled, and he hurriedly shook his head vigorously, "What are you saying, my lord? Let alone Mount Sumeru, soon after the Demon Ancestor conquers the Three Realms, the Three Realms will all be your territory. You can go wherever you want!"

Wu Tian nodded, a strange smile appearing on his face. "Well said. You can die now."

"what?"

That day, the Demon Emperor was stunned and made a surprised sound. Before he could think about what Zhao Gongming meant, Zhao Gongming had already struck out with his palm, and his powerful magic instantly crushed him into ashes.

Even after annihilating a Quasi-Saint level Heavenly Demon Emperor with a single palm strike, Zhao Gongming's expression remained unchanged, as calm as still water.

A mere Heavenly Demon Emperor, equivalent to a Quasi-Saint, was nothing more than an ant to him, easily killed with a flick of his finger, as easily as eating and drinking.

After slaying the Heavenly Demon Emperor, Zhao Gongming left the Demonic Ancestral Court and arrived at the eye of the Heavenly Demon Array.

This is the core and central location of the Heavenly Demon Formation, of paramount importance, guarded by five Heavenly Demon Emperors, making it an impregnable fortress.

Zhao Gongming arrived at the core of the array without stopping. The five Heavenly Demon Emperors immediately flew over. When they saw that it was Zhao Gongming, they hurriedly said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Zhao Gongming didn't even bother to waste words with them. He directly struck down with his palm, unleashing a surge of magical power that instantly crushed the five Heavenly Demon Emperors into dust.

Although his physical body limited him to only at the peak of the Hunyuan Daluo realm, dealing with these quasi-saint level Heavenly Demon Emperors was as easy as eating and drinking.

With a single slap, Zhao Gongming reduced the five Heavenly Demon Emperors to ashes. After checking his surroundings and finding no further movement, he slowly walked into the core of the formation. His peak Grand Luo cultivation surged forth, instantly destroying the core device of the Heavenly Demon Formation.

"Buzz!"

In mid-air, a strange buzzing sound emanated. The Heavenly Demon Array, which had been as stable as Mount Tai and continuously absorbed negative emotions from all over the primordial world and transformed them into pure demonic fortune, collapsed in an instant. The mountain of demonic fortune accumulated within the Heavenly Demon Array, without the restriction of the array, immediately flew in all directions and dissipated into the world in the blink of an eye.

"It's time to make a move."

Zhao Gongming's indifferent voice slowly rang out, and at that moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the void not far from him.

Mosquito Taoist stepped out first, a strange smile on his face, "Little Mosquito greets Master."

Behind Mosquito Daoist was a dense army of mosquitoes, countless and stretching as far as the eye could see. Each mosquito possessed at least the cultivation of a Xuanxian or Jinxian, and some were even Dalu or Quasi-Saints. They were surrounded by the law of devouring. This was an invincible army personally trained by Mosquito Daoist, born for slaughter.

After Mosquito Taoist walked out, many more figures emerged, including the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Sun Wukong, the Bull Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Roc Demon King, and the God of Slaughter Bai Qi. They exuded an aura that shook the heavens and the earth. When combined, they were invincible and could break through anything, as if there was nothing in the world that could stop them.

Zhao Gongming looked at the crowd and slowly nodded. "Go, slaughter to your heart's content. Leave no demonic cultivator alive."

"Yes."

Mosquito Taoist's face gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. With a wave of his hand, he led billions of mosquitoes into the Demonic Cult's Ancestral Court. Following closely behind Mosquito Taoist, Sun Wukong and the others followed. A slaughter feast had begun!

At the same time, the once-dominant demonic fortune began to decrease rapidly, and the Xuanmen fortune suppressed the demonic fortune in an instant!

At the Buzhou Mountain ruins, sensing the sudden drop in demonic fortune, to the point that even his half-step Great Dao cultivation was becoming unsustainable, Luo Hou's expression changed drastically. "This, how could this be!"

The reason why Rahu was able to step into the Great Dao was partly due to the destruction of the origin of the demon gods, but more importantly, it relied on the demonic fortune rooted in the Three Realms.

At this moment, as the demonic fortune weakened, Rahu's aura began to weaken at a visible rate, even showing a tendency to fall half a step down from the Great Dao, which was impossible in Rahu's calculations.

"What's going on? Why has the demonic path's fortune suddenly weakened!"

"That's the direction of Mount Sumeru. There's been a major upheaval in the Demonic Cult's ancestral court. Could something have happened?"

"This shouldn't be! The Heavenly Demon Formation is indestructible. Who has the ability to destroy it? Moreover, besides the Heavenly Demon Formation, there's also the Wutian Demon God!"

Zhunti and Jieyin were completely bewildered. They, along with their fellow disciples and Nuwa, couldn't break through the Heavenly Demon Formation. What could possibly happen to the Demonic Ancestral Court?

But the changes in the fate of the demonic path before their eyes forced them to believe that something truly terrible had happened on Mount Sumeru!

A new light of hope ignited in Hongjun's otherwise gloomy eyes. He thought to himself, "The demonic path's fortunes have been severely damaged. Could it be that he had foreseen this all along?"

At this moment, another figure appeared from the west, stepping through the air and arriving in front of everyone in just a few breaths.

"Wu Tian, ​​was it you who destroyed the Heavenly Demon Formation?"

Luo Hou stared intently at Wu Tian with a gloomy face. He couldn't believe that his most trusted subordinate had betrayed him at the most crucial moment.

Wutian chuckled and said earnestly to Demon Ancestor Rahu, "Demon Ancestor, take a good look again and see who I really am!"

The familiar voice came from Wutian's mouth, causing Luo Hou's face to turn a deep, unpleasant shade of liver.

He finally understood!

He considered himself exceptionally clever, so he first sent Wutian into the Three Realms to lay a solid foundation for his future demonic invasion.

But in reality, Zhao Gongming already knew about Wutian's entry into the Three Realms the moment he entered.

No wonder he secretly suspected that Wutian's entry into the Three Realms was so smooth. It turned out that the problem lay here. Wutian had ultimately become a bargaining chip used by the cultivators of the Three Realms to deal with him.

With a smile on his face, Wu Tian flashed and merged into Zhao Gongming's body.

"Snap, snap!"

The barrier that had been holding Zhao Gongming back all along has finally loosened.

Zhao Gongming's cultivation level suddenly soared, and the light of the Great Dao flowed endlessly around him, radiating an aura of timelessness and eternal existence. In the end, like Luo Hou, he stepped into the half-step Great Dao.

A terrifying Dao essence, almost tangible, continuously surged through his body.

The Pangu Banner, held in his hand, burst forth with intense and dazzling golden light, as if Pangu had been resurrected. Only now did Zhao Gongming finally fully master the power of the Pangu Axe!

Luo Hou's expression finally changed. "How is this possible? How could you possibly have stepped into the half-step Great Dao realm!"

"Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help. Rahu, for your own selfish desires, you have invaded the Three Realms, and even the Great Way will not help you."

Zhao Gongming exhaled deeply. At this moment, with the blessing of the Three Realms' fortune, his strength had surpassed that of Rahu.

He gripped the Pangu Axe with both hands, channeling all his power—a power at the level of a half-step Great Dao—into it.

The Pangu Axe vibrated and hummed, its power pushed to its limit, as it cleaved towards Rahu.

Luo Hou's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used the World-Destroying Millstone to defend. With a loud boom, the two great treasures of chaos clashed, and the World-Destroying Millstone flashed with light before being directly cleaved away by Pangu's Axe.

Zhao Gongming's expression remained unchanged as he raised the Pangu Axe and brought it down once more!

Luo Hou's expression changed drastically, and he summoned the God-Slaying Spear and the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!

But these two mere treasures didn't even reach the level of Chaos Treasures, so how could they possibly contend with the Pangu Axe?

"boom!"

With a single axe blow, the tip of the God-Slaying Spear tilted, and the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus was cleaved into a dull luster, its surface covered with countless cracks. Rahu coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his aura plummeted to the peak of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm, no longer possessing the cultivation of a half-step Great Dao cultivator from his peak.

But no matter what, they finally managed to block the axe!

Zhao Gongming remained unmoved. At this moment, he held the Pangu Axe and seemed to have become the great god Pangu who created the world. Wherever the axe light passed, everything turned to ashes!

He clasped his hands together and raised the Pangu Axe once more. Its unparalleled sharpness swept over everyone, sending chills down their spines and creating a tremendous sense of crisis in their hearts.

It's as if once this axe falls, no one can withstand it!

Hongjun exhaled a breath of turbid air, his expression suddenly becoming relaxed. "This battle is finally over. The conflict between the Dao and the Demonic will never happen again!"

The void trembled slightly as Zhao Gongming's Pangu Axe slowly descended!

A stunning axe light swept across the sky and earth, leaving a striking bloodstain between Luo Hou's brows. Then, it was split in two, and before everyone's eyes, it turned to ashes without even causing a ripple!

"Lord Demon Ancestor!!"

Evil Slaughter, Evil Butcher, Jidu's expression changed drastically. He suddenly turned his head and flew away from the Three Realms.

But unfortunately, it was too late!

Several tiny beams of axe light swept through the void and landed on the three people.

Without making a sound, the three men's life force was instantly extinguished, and they were annihilated into dust, as if they had never existed.

With just three axe blows, everything vanished!

The Three Realms erupted in unprecedented cheers, one wave after another, until they covered the entire world.

The atmosphere in the Three Realms, which was originally tense and filled with the impending storm and dark clouds, quickly dissipated, and a golden ray of sunlight pierced through the remaining clouds, scattering across the ground.

On the other side, after striking with his axe three times, Zhao Gongming finally understood what the true Dao was.

He has already grasped the true meaning of the Great Dao. Next, with the accumulation of time, he will naturally enter the Great Dao Realm, reach the level of Pangu, or even surpass Pangu!

Tongtian approached Zhao Gongming with a complicated expression, his face full of satisfaction, and said, "Gongming, you have made an unparalleled contribution this time. If it weren't for your courageous act and turning the tide, the Three Realms would probably have fallen into the hands of Rahu long ago."

Zhao Gongming laughed and said, "Those who follow the Way will find abundant support, while those who stray from it will find little. Evil cannot prevail over good; this is an eternal truth. Rahu will never be able to invade our Three Realms. Now that the great calamity has passed, the day when the Three Realms will flourish has finally arrived!"

The Master of Heaven looked out over the Three Realms and smiled as well, "Yes, the good days for the Three Realms are coming!"
