Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

"Hahaha, that's great, that's great!"

Ancestor Cangwu laughed heartily, and a sword cry resounded through the sky, divine light shone brightly, and all things withered.

"Haha, one sword cleaves the heavens!"

Then, the Cangwu Ancestor, wielding the Cangwu Sword, cleaved the heavens with a single strike, shattering the void and creating an extremely terrifying rift that swept across all directions.

Each sword aura emitted a clanging sound.

The Cangwu Sword cleaved through the Nine Heavens' Gang Layers, unleashing endless Gang Winds from the Nine Heavens. Its sword energy was like a rainbow, its ferocious power overwhelming.

Divine runes appeared, like the Milky Way exploding, evolving into a scene from the beginning of the universe.

Seeing this, Hongyun remained unmoved, his five fingers like claws reaching out to grab at the sword energy.

Suddenly, Hongyun's five fingers, like jade pillars supporting the sky, were filled with the power of the four elements, evolving into a world, and in a daze, illusory figures emerged.

Mount Ling is majestic, with verdant peaks, cascading waterfalls, colorful clouds filling the sky, auspicious beasts and rare birds appearing, divine dragons and phoenixes dancing, and the Vermilion Bird and Qilin guarding the world...

This is simply like a fairyland!

Hongyun used his palm to create a world, blocking the earth-shattering sword strike of the Cangwu Ancestor.

Despite the endless gale-force winds from the heavens, Hongyun's head of black hair danced wildly, as if she were facing a giant ocean wave, yet her body remained motionless, as still as a rock.

Hongyun alone controls the evolution of one world.

The world was transformed into a cage, billions of feet in size, suppressing all spirits, imprisoning all immortals, and refining heaven and earth.

The cage was constructed entirely of the power of the Four Symbols, and the most powerful laws of the Four Symbols flowed within it.

The sword energy of the Cangwu Ancestor fell into the cage, and its sharpness could be felt even across a world.

The sword energy cleaved through layers of space, but with each layer it broke through, even more space appeared.

Therefore, although the sword energy was clearly moving, it was like a mosquito in amber, or a monkey in the Buddha's hand, hovering motionless in Hongyun's palm.

"Senior, you should also be careful."

"This is my ultimate supernatural power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongyun made a half-hearted gesture with his right hand, and the world in his palm condensed into an ancient axe.

The sword energy of the Cangwu Ancestor transformed into an axe blade, emanating an ancient and powerful Daoist aura.

"That's Pangu's Axe? How is that possible?"

Ancestor Cangwu found it incredible that the axe formed from condensed red clouds actually contained a portion of the true meaning of Pangu's creation of the world, and already bore a resemblance to Pangu's axe.

It should be understood that the more powerful a magical artifact is, the harder it is to evolve. There are very few people in the world who can evolve a magical artifact like the Pangu Axe; even achieving the slightest resemblance is extremely difficult.

Hongyun smiled slightly but offered no explanation.

His ability to wield the Pangu Axe is also a legacy from the Earth Demon God, who was truly cleaved by Pangu and has the most authentic experience of it.

"The Three Forms of Creation, One Axe Shatters Chaos!"

Hongyun, ignoring worldly concerns, used the Pangu Axe, forged with the power of the world, to cleave towards the Cangwu Ancestor.

Pangu's axe cleaved the heavens and earth, splitting the laws of nature, causing space to evolve, yin and yang to be suppressed, and earth, water, fire, and wind to surge and transform into divine beasts such as the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise.

The pure ascend to heaven, the impure descend to earth.

In the heavens, the sun, moon, and stars evolve; on earth, mountains, rivers, lakes, and precious stones abound.

A brand new world was formed in an instant, surrounding Ancestor Cangwu and intending to evolve it together.

Before Ancestor Cangwu could react, the world was destroyed with a roar, the sun and moon shattered, the earth crumbled, and the signs of the end of the Great Annihilation Era appeared in the world.

Ancestor Cangwu was greatly alarmed. He sensed a life-or-death crisis from the sign of the end of the era.

At this moment, Ancestor Cangwu wanted to resist and urged the Cangwu Palace to block the axe.

The world collapsed in an instant, a dazzling divine light of destruction formed, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Space seemed to stand still, and even time slowed down.

"Pfft!"

The next instant, the divine light of destruction ripped through the void.

Then, before the Cangwu Ancestor could even defend himself, the Destruction Divine Light engulfed him.

The moment he was swallowed by the divine light of destruction, the projection of Ancestor Cangwu's body in the future began to collapse and dissipate.

"Haha, young friend, you win."

Ancestor Cangwu regained his composure, and with a smile, his figure vanished into the world.

"You flatter me, senior."

Hongyun let out a long breath, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes; he had finally won the deal.

In addition, killing a powerful deity who appeared to be a Taiyi Golden Immortal but was actually a Hunyuan Golden Immortal verified his abilities, which was a rare opportunity for Hongyun to gain practical experience.

This gave him a deeper understanding of literature and the Way.

Hongyun put away the Water Spirit Pearl and looked at the relics of Ancestor Cangwu, including the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure Cangwu Palace and the superior-grade acquired spiritual treasure Cangwu Sword.

Hongyun grabbed the Cangwu Palace and Cangwu Sword from the air and directly marked them with his mark.

Cangwu Palace: A top-grade acquired spiritual treasure with 45 acquired restrictions. It belongs to the metal element and has the power to suppress the universe.

Cangwu Sword: A superior-grade acquired spiritual treasure with 36 acquired restrictions. It belongs to the metal element and has the power to cleave the heavens and split the earth.

"Huh, these two spiritual treasures actually carry the Dao of Ancestor Cangwu. I didn't expect to gain something unexpected."

Hongyun murmured in surprise.

The Cangwu Palace and Cangwu Sword left behind by the Cangwu Ancestor were crafted by the Cangwu Ancestor using his own understanding of the Great Dao, and their value even surpasses that of the spiritual treasures themselves.

Hongyun briefly refined the Cangwu Palace and the Cangwu Sword, refining three or four restrictions, before directly storing them in his primordial spirit sea of ​​consciousness, and then slowly refining them with divine fire.

Then, Hongyun looked at the last remaining item.

It was a pale blue crystal, the essence of cultivation left behind after the projection of Ancestor Cangwu dissipated.

This is the crystallization of all the cultivation power of Ancestor Cangwu's past projections, which can be directly used to improve cultivation.

But after thinking about it, Hongyun didn't refine it, worried that there might be a backup plan from the Cangwu Ancestor inside.

If a Primordial Golden Immortal wanted to leave a backup plan, it would be very difficult for Hongyun, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal, to detect it.

This is different from magic weapons, which are ultimately external objects, while this crystal can be integrated into his body.

"We'll keep this for future alchemy!"

After thinking it over, Hongyun made a decision: when he breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the future, he will directly use the crystal as a material for alchemy and refine it from the very beginning.

Regardless of any scheming or backup plans, they'll destroy your foundation directly, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Then, Hongyun saw the devastated mountains, barren of vegetation, with cracked earth and raging subterranean fires; it was truly a hellish place.

"Huh? This mountain range is ruined."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Hongyun's face.

In battles between Taiyi Golden Immortals, such situations are quite normal; world-destroying destruction is commonplace.

This is because the level of the primordial world is too high. If it were a lower-level world, even celestial beings could destroy it.

The more powerful a world is, the more stable its spacetime becomes, and the less destructive power cultivators have. If someone in a world can easily reverse spacetime, then it's almost time for it to collapse.

"Fortunately, the outer formation wasn't destroyed."

Hongyun said with some relief, "I began to sort out the earth's veins, send clouds and rain to nourish all things and restore the environment."

There are reasons why this place has become like this.

Some plant seeds sprouted from the ground and grew into towering trees in the blink of an eye. The trees became spirits, medicinal herbs were abundant, all kinds of plants flourished, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The shattered valley recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in no time, the once dilapidated valley became lush with trees and babbling brooks.

"Next is the inheritance of Ancestor Cangwu."
