Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three terrifying auras erupted from Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu, tearing apart the skies above the Western Continent!
At the instant their bottlenecks shattered, the phantom of Pangu within their primordial spirit consciousness seas became clearer than ever.
Taishang Laojun saw Pangu, after World Creation, use supreme wisdom to sort out Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and establish Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
It was the supreme Great Dao of Governing by non-action, yet accomplishing everything.
His Tai Chi Diagram spun madly. The Yin Yang energies no longer stood in simple opposition, but evolved endless mysteries.
The principles of all things lay within it.
"So that was it!"
Taishang Laojun suddenly understood.
"My Dao is not Pure and Inactive. It is using inaction to accomplish all action!"
"Dao follows Nature, and it can also create Nature!"
What Yuanshi Tianzun saw was Pangu wielding a giant axe, establishing the order of heaven and earth, separating the clear from the turbid, and distinguishing high from low.
It was a majestic Great Dao that expounded Heavenly Principle, followed the greater trend, and established supreme order.
The phantom of his Pangu Banner shone brilliantly. The runes upon its surface transformed into living laws, constructing a perfect model of the world.
"I understand! I understand!"
Brilliance flashed wildly in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes.
"My Dao is not to obey Heaven, but to legislate for Heaven!"
"To expound the principles of the Heavenly Dao and carry out the work of enlightenment!"
What Tongtian Jiaozhu saw was Pangu battling the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. With a single axe strike, all things were extinguished in a tyrannical spectacle.
It was the supreme sword Dao of Seizing a thread of life, destroying the old order, and creating a brand-new era.
The phantoms of the four Killing Swords behind him no longer contained only pure slaughter.
Upon their edges, specks of vitality actually began to gather.
At the end of destruction came rebirth!
"Hahaha! I understand!"
Tongtian Jiaozhu threw back his head and laughed.
"My Dao is both an ending and a beginning!"
"For all living beings of heaven and earth, I shall seize that thread of life!"
At the same moment, the three brothers comprehended their true paths of Dao!
Their Dao originated from Pangu, yet surpassed their former understanding.
It was no longer merely tranquility, exposition, and interception, but had truly touched upon three aspects of Pangu's Great Dao!
This enlightenment, combined with the vast, boundless Origin Qi of creation from Lin Shen, caused the mana within them to begin its final transformation.
The Dao Fruit of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal was completely crushed at this moment, then reforged!
Within their oceans of golden mana, threads of entirely new power carrying the color of Chaos were born.
This power was no longer bound by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.
It followed only the will of the Three Pure Ones themselves.
Primordial Golden Immortals!
They had succeeded!
Three terrifying waves of pressure swept outward from the three of them, engulfing the entire Primordial World!
This pressure differed from the vast heavenly might of a Sage united with the Heavenly Dao.
It was purer, more self-driven, and more tyrannical—supreme pressure beyond compare!
Deep within the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Ancestral Dragon suddenly awoke.
"What kind of power is this?!"
The Ancestral Dragon's enormous body moved restlessly through the Dragon Palace, his golden dragon eyes filled with horror.
Within the Southern Bright Volcano, Yuanfeng awoke from nirvana.
"What tyrannical pressure!"
"It does not belong to the Heavenly Dao, yet it stands above Grand Unity!"
At the center of the earth, the Primordial Kirin raised his head from slumber.
"The direction of Kunlun Mountain... could it be those three?"
The Primordial Kirin looked eastward, his eyes filled with gravity.
At this moment, every mighty expert at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm throughout the Primordial World felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.
They felt that three insurmountable mountains had appeared above their heads.
The entire structure of the Primordial World was completely rewritten at this moment!
On the battlefield of Blood Maple Plain, the feeling was most immediate.
The Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan warriors who had just awakened from the influence of the fiend qi had yet to grasp the situation when the three waves of pressure forced them directly to their knees.
They raised their heads in terror and looked toward that unremarkable hill.
Three figures stood bathed in endless golden light of laws.
Sacred and majestic, impossible to look upon directly.
Behind them, though the heaven-supporting phantom of Pangu had begun to fade, that supreme will of World Creation still suppressed the entire Primordial World.
"Th-that... what is that?"
The Dragon Clan elder Ao Guang lay limp on the ground, his voice trembling.
"P-Pangu... Great God Pangu?"
The beautiful face of the Phoenix Clan elder Feng Xi was filled with fear and reverence.
"The Three Pure Ones... what exactly did they do?"
They finally understood that the source of the upheaval that had swept across the battlefield was here!
These three terrifying beings had drained all the calamity fiend qi!
Was it all for a breakthrough?!
They had used the fiend qi of the entire calamity as nourishment for their breakthrough?
What a mad, tyrannical move!
All living beings felt the most primitive reverence for the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain.
In the direction of Mount Sumeru, Demon Ancestor Luohu was in an even more miserable state.
The moment Pangu's phantom appeared, his Dao Heart had been wounded, and the supreme pressure had forced him to cough blood.
Now that the Three Pure Ones had successfully broken through, the pressure of three Primordial Golden Immortals stacked atop one another.
Those three Primordial Divine Mountains pressed ruthlessly upon his primordial spirit.
They made him unable even to stand.
"Primordial Golden Immortals..."
For the first time, an emotion called despair appeared in Luohu's eyes.
"They actually truly walked this path..."
He had plotted for countless ages, stirred up the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and forged the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, all so that before Hongjun became a Sage, he could Prove Dao by Killing and become the ruler of the Primordial World.
He had always regarded the Three Pure Ones as potential opponents, but he had never truly considered them beings capable of contending for the final Dao Fruit.
In his view, the Three Pure Ones possessed Pangu's Primordial Spirit and the merit of World Creation, yet did not know how to use them. They only knew how to hide on Kunlun Mountain and cultivate in peace.
Sooner or later, he would leave them behind.
But he had never imagined, even in his dreams, that these three would remain silent until they astonished the world with a single cry!
They had actually skipped the step of Slaying Three Corpses and directly attained Primordial Golden Immortal!
This was a Dao Fruit completely beyond the Heavenly Dao!
Although they might still be inferior to true Heavenly Dao Sages, their potential far surpassed that of Sages!
What he found most unacceptable was that the cause of all this was actually that little thing in their arms!
That little monster that had stolen all his fiend qi, converted it into nourishment, and fed it to the Three Pure Ones!
"Puh—"
Thinking of this, Luohu could no longer suppress the fury and resentment in his heart.
A mouthful of black demonic blood spewed forth, corroding a huge hole into the rocks before him.
"Three Pure Ones!"
"If I, Luohu, do not avenge this grudge, I swear I am no demon!"
He let out an incomparably venomous roar.
Yet before the heavenly phenomenon caused by the Three Pure Ones' breakthrough, his roar seemed so insignificant.
The auras of the Three Pure Ones continued to rise as they stabilized their newly broken-through realms.
Above Taishang Laojun's head, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda scattered countless streams of black-yellow qi, firmly protecting the three of them along with the sleeping Lin Shen.
Yuanshi Tianzun held the phantom of the Pangu Banner. With a gentle shake, Chaos Sword Qi swirled around him, tearing space apart.
Tongtian Jiaozhu threw back his head and howled. His howl transformed into endless sword intent, shooting into the clouds and shredding even the calamity clouds in the sky!
They were no longer the Grand Unity Golden Immortals they had once been.
They were now beings truly standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial World!
Just as the Three Pure Ones stabilized their realms, Hongjun, who had silently observed everything, finally made his move.
"The time has come."
Within Zixiao Palace, Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, a complicated expression flashing through them.
The Three Pure Ones had attained Primordial Unity, Luohu's Dao Heart had been wounded, and the calamity fiend qi had been completely swept away.
This was the best chance for him to act, completely end this catastrophe, and establish the status of Orthodox Xuanmen!
He took a single step, and his figure vanished from Zixiao Palace.
The next moment, he appeared atop the demonic mountain where Luohu was.
