The Show Had Only Just Begun

Beyond the Primordial World lies boundless Chaos.

For Primordial World beings, Chaos is a deadly place; the endless Chaos Qi is something that not every creature can withstand.

Only those at the Great Unity Golden Immortal level can withstand it for a period of time, but only for a short time. Before long, their bodies will be eroded by the Chaos Qi, followed by their Primordial Spirit, until both body and soul are destroyed.

If one is protected by a spiritual treasure, one can stay there for a long time. However, if the time is too long, the immortal spiritual light of the spiritual treasure will be worn away, and then there will only be one outcome.

Therefore, Chaos is a very dangerous place, but for the Chaos Demon Gods was born, grew up and mastered the laws of the Great Dao Principle in Chaos, it feels like coming home.

This Chaos Qi is actually the precursor to Innate Spiritual Qi and Innate Turbid Qi; it is the so-called division of Chaos into Yin-Yang, with pure energy rising Turbid Qi sinking.

In other words, the creatures of the Primordial World are delicate. It should be noted that the Chaos Demon Gods directly absorbed the Chaos Qi, but Yangmei can no longer absorb it directly now.

Yangmei chose to attain the Dao of the Chaos Great Unity Golden Immortal in the Chaos, not to become Sage, but to be an existence equal to Sage, and even more carefree and transcendent—a Heavenly Venerable.

Yangmei, in her Hollow-Hearted Willow form, took root in the Chaos, with strands of Power of Principle weaving together to form a safe domain around her.

Without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, breaking through is simply a matter of breaking through a thin layer of paper, a natural and inevitable process.

After all, before they were cleaved to death by Pangu, each of these Chaos Demon Gods was Chaos Great Unity Golden Immortal, which is at the level of a Celestial Venerable.

Pangu walked before them, already halfway to the Great Dao, but he did not choose to merge with the Great Dao. Instead, he split the Chaos, giving rise to the Primordial World and all living beings.

"Buzz--"

Yangmei's body trembled violently, Hollow-Hearted Yang Willow branch pierced through the void, beginning to frantically devour the surrounding Chaos Qi. As he devoured the Chaos Qi, his aura rose steadily, and the bottleneck was broken through.

An immense and boundless pressure emanated from him, and a phantom of a Dao Fruit slowly condensed behind his head. As the Space Principle and the Dao rhythm filled in, the Dao Fruit gradually solidified.

With the Dao Fruit fully solidified and matured, the Chaos Great Unity Golden Immortal, the First Heaven of the Heavenly Venerable, was thus achieved.

"Finally, I've returned to the realm of Celestial Venerable."

As one of the top three Chaos Demon Gods, Yangmei's cultivation level was not this high before he was cleaved in two by Pangu and forced to reincarnate and start anew.

The Heavenly Venerable First Heaven is merely a new starting point; his prime is still incredibly far away.

Moreover, even Heavenly Venerable First Heaven would find it difficult to contend with the Heavenly Dao, even though the Heavenly Dao is not yet perfect.

Now that the path to enlightenment has been achieved, the next step is to fulfill the promise made to Xiang Dong.

"It's time!"

With a single thought, he decided to return to the Primordial World.

However, just as Yangmei approached the membrane of the Primordial World, a repulsive force blocked him from Primordial World. The closer he got, the stronger this repulsive force became.

This is the power of the Heavenly Dao; even if he used the power of a Heavenly Venerable and went all out, he could not force a breakthrough.

Before that, all he could do was wait for the right opportunity, until the power of the Heavenly Dao weakened, before making a decisive breakthrough.

Alternatively, one could search for areas where the Heavenly Dao Power is weak. The Heavenly Dao is imperfect, and of course, it cannot completely cover the entire Primordial World. There are always a few places where the Heavenly Dao has overlooked them, which the Space Demon God can find.

But now all he needs to do is produce the visa that Xiang Dong gave him, in duplicate, one copy of which is with him.

As the visa was taken out, a golden light shone from it, resonating with the Primordial World Heavenly Dao.

The repulsive force then quickly receded, clearing a clear path for him to enter the Primordial World openly and legitimately.

"Visa permit..." This thing is really useful, Yangmei couldn't help but sigh, "Pangu's backup plan is indeed unfathomable."

Standing atop the Primordial World sky, Yangmei noticed that the Tribulation Qi in the world was much denser than before he left.

Especially on the western continent, the dark red Devil Qi, like a Tongtian pillar reaching to the sky, stirred up the winds and clouds, causing the entire Primordial World to become restless.

"Devil Qi, Mount Sumeru..."

Yangmei's Primordial Spirit swept westward and soon saw Mount Sumeru, where Luohou had already set up the Ten Thousand Demons Great Formation, waiting in full force for Hongjun's arrival.

Meanwhile, Hongjun, along with his friends Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Heaven and Earth, entered the Western Regions.

"The Dao-Demon Conflict has finally reached its final stage. Fortunately, we're not too late."

The real show has only just begun. For beings of their level, as long as their overall strength and realm are not too different and their combat power is not wide enough to cause serious injury, then the fight will take quite a while.

They often use the Yuanhui (a unit of time) as a unit, so it's not easy to determine a winner; everyone has a few tricks up their sleeve.

When Yangmei's Primordial Spirit swept across, the Five Elements, Heaven and Earth, and Yin-Yang —the remnants of the Chaos Demon Gods —did not notice it at all.

The absolute difference in strength Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and Heavenly Venerable First Heaven meant they couldn't detect each other's spying. Luohou did sense something, but he wasn't sure what it was and assumed it was Hongjun's doing, so he just snorted coldly.

Only Hongjun noticed it, because the Heavenly Dao was issuing a warning, Primordial Spirit sensed the crisis.

But this feeling only lasted a short time. Yangmei glanced at it and then stopped paying attention, heading west.

"Hongjun, what's wrong with you? Why are you spacing out at a time like this?"

"Are you afraid of Luohou?"

"Now that things have come to this, even if you want to back down, you still have to give me what you promised to wait for."

The Five Elements, Heaven and Earth and Yin-Yang, and Yin and Yang saw that Hongjun was suddenly stunned and thought he wanted to back out halfway. They had no objection if he didn't want to fight, but he had to keep his promise.

"No, it's just a feeling I had. Fellow Daoists, let's continue our journey and eliminate that brat Luohou as soon as possible."

Hongjun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately suppressed his doubts and did not show them.

Regardless of what it is, the primary task now is to annihilate Luohou, seize the Heavenly Book, and attain sainthood.

Unbeknownst to Hongjun and Luohou, in the middle of their confrontation, there was another figure, Yangmei, hidden in a spatial fold, silently observing this Dao-Demon Conflict, ready to intervene at any moment.

Before he was on his way to enlightenment, he had no intention of getting involved in this mess. However, the visa conditions proposed by Hongjun were indeed very tempting to him.

Now that he's using Xiang Dong's visa, he naturally has to keep his promise. Xiang Dong had said that in this massacre, he should try his best to save the lives of a few Chaos Demon Gods, which would also reduce the pressure on him.

Right now, he's looking for a few who seem agreeable, honest, and obedient.
