This treasure being ranked ahead of the Chaos Bell does make some sense..."

"The Chaos Bell's defense is unmatched in the Primordial World. If this treasure is ahead of it, can it actually break through the Chaos Bell's defenses?"

"You're asking me? If you're asking me, who am I supposed to ask?"

"This treasure being ahead of the Chaos Bell is probably because it's an offensive type, right?"

"That's not certain either. After all, this one is a saint's treasure, while the Chaos Bell is just Eastern Emperor Taiyi's artifact. Different wielders mean different power..."

Everyone raised their eyes to the sky, discussing endlessly, debating without rest.

All because the treasure in the air was named: Pangu Banner.

Everyone knew the Pangu Banner extremely well.

They also understood its origins.

The Pangu Banner was formed from the blade edge of the Heaven-Opening Axe.

Its power was boundless.

It was the Heaven-Opening Blade Qi, mastering the essence of "Breaking." When used: it tears chaos, splits time and space, and opens the boundless "Primordial World."

The Mystic Light of Creation mastered the essence of "Establishing." When used: it divides yin and yang, orders the five elements, and derives infinite "Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind."

The Hongmeng World Barrier mastered the essence of "Sealing." When used: it confuses chaos, obscures heaven and earth, and evolves the endless "Chaotic World."

Heaven and Earth Mutual Destruction mastered the essence of "Annihilation." When used: it breaks heaven and earth, cuts off past and present, and destroys countless "Universal Worlds."

No amount of flowery words could describe the might of Pangu.

Everyone looked up at the enormous banner hanging in the sky.

Watching it with rapt fascination.

They had all heard of the Pangu Banner's reputation long ago.

But this was the first time they truly witnessed it!

"The Pangu Banner is so imposing..."

"They say its actual killing power is no less than the Four Swords of Zhuxian..."

"They say in terms of single-target lethality, the Pangu Banner is ranked number one..."

"What do you all think—between the Pangu Banner and the Chaos Bell, which is stronger and which is weaker?"

"Who knows that? They say these two treasures share the same origin, so they wouldn't fight each other."

All the great powers of the Primordial World were discussing it.

Soon, the Grand Dao Script appeared.

["Treasure Ranking Twenty-Second: Pangu Banner. Primordial Treasure. The Pangu Banner possesses the might to tear chaos, the power to shatter the time and space of all heavens, the way of supreme creation, the merit of commanding all laws, and the ability to open heaven and earth and the universe. It can also control the might of heaven and earth, with unmatched offensive power and endless creation. Master: Taishang!"]

After seeing the Grand Dao Script, many big shots once again encountered this:

"Both the Chaos Bell and the Pangu Banner have appeared. Next should be the Taiji Diagram, right?"

"Brother speaks sense... These three treasures share the same origin. Since the Chaos Bell and Pangu Banner have shown up, the Taiji Diagram will naturally follow closely behind..."

"Let's just wait and see for now..."

Everyone watched the sky with tense anticipation.

Not long after, another golden light descended.

Manifesting a painting in the air.

It was none other than the Primordial World's renowned Taiji Diagram.

"It really is the Taiji Diagram..."

Everyone murmured to themselves...

"This Taiji Diagram is truly magnificent..."

"Can the Taiji Diagram really overpower the Chaos Bell and Pangu Banner?"

"You're asking me? How would I know? I'm just a Little Erbi..."

"Little Erbi..."

Some people couldn't help but laugh and cry at those words.

The Taiji Diagram separates clarity from turbidity, stabilizes earth, water, fire, and wind, and encompasses all phenomena.

["Treasure Ranking Twenty-First: Taiji Diagram. Primordial Treasure. Because the Heaven-Opening Axe could not withstand the resistance of opening the heavens, its axe head transformed into the Taiji Diagram. Its defense is supremely strong, containing the ultimate principles of yin and yang, with profound mysteries without end. This is the Taiji's four images, the method of endless change; whatever the mind thinks of, that thing appears; whatever the mind considers, that matter arrives.

Once deployed, no evil can invade, no law can break it, and its wielder stands in an invincible position. Beyond this, it also has the power to suppress boundless fortune. Master: Taishang!"]

"Heaven and earth were originally without extremes... The extreme of nothingness gave birth to the Taiji... The Taiji gave birth to yin and yang... Yin and yang gave birth to the four images... The four images transformed into the eight trigrams... This is called the Taiji Diagram..."

The voice of this one named Little Erbi rang out...

"Not bad, Little Erbi... I didn't expect you to understand such principles. You do have some skill indeed. Admirable, admirable..."

"Scram, is 'Little Erbi' what you call him?"

For a moment, the entire Primordial Land burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, within Heaven's Mystery Pavilion in that mysterious realm.

The black-robed woman was doubled over with laughter.

"Master... is that person really called Little Erbi? That's actually kind of amusing..."

The young man cast a brief glance at the sky.

A tipsy, hazy look in his eyes carried a hint of a smile:

"That fellow... is the archenemy of that so-called hypocrite... so naturally, he's quite interesting..."

"The hypocrite's archenemy?"

Sanqi seemed to understand something...

The amusement in her eyes deepened...

"The Chaos Bell, the Pangu Banner, and the Taiji Diagram have all appeared..."

"Next... should be the Four Swords of Zhuxian, right?"

"But... if these Primordial Treasures are only ranked this low... then what about the twenty-plus ahead of them? Just what kind of freakish things are those?"

"Brother, keep your voice down. Those sages are all in a foul mood right now. If you accidentally provoke them, they might take it out on you..."

"Let's stop discussing for now and just watch the rankings..."

"Something that can overpower the Three Treasures of Creation... I want to see... just what kind of divine artifact that is."

The entire Primordial Land was now in chaos.

The Three Treasures of Creation were only ranked in the twenties...

That directly shattered everyone's understanding.

How could there not be chaos?

Within the Heavenly Court, Taiyi and Emperor Jun wore equally grim expressions.

They never imagined the Chaos Bell would only rank twenty-third...

This was hard for the ever-arrogant Eastern Emperor Taiyi to stomach.

In his mind, the Chaos Bell was the number one existence.

Yet now it sat at twenty-third.

That meant at least twenty-two artifacts surpassed the Chaos Bell in power.

How could Eastern Emperor Taiyi not be furious?

And within Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun also felt his face burn with shame.

In his impression, the Pangu Banner was definitely a top-three existence.

Only his teacher's Creation Jade Tablet could rank above it.

Even if the Taiji Diagram were placed ahead of the Pangu Banner, he wouldn't fully accept it.

Yet he never imagined his Pangu Banner would only rank twenty-second.

The gap was simply too great.

At that moment, he turned his gaze toward another corner of the sky.

His senior brother, Grand Supreme, was in that direction.

"Senior Brother Grand Supreme... your Taiji Diagram only ranks twenty-first. I wonder how you feel about that?"

Yuanshi Tianzun muttered to himself, staring in that direction.

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun had expected.

Grand Supreme Old Lord's mood was equally low at this moment...

The Taiji Diagram, on which he had placed his greatest hopes, had only reached twenty-first...

Now, Grand Supreme Old Lord's expression was extremely grave.

He turned his gaze eastward and murmured to himself:

"That artifact ranked twentieth is probably Junior Brother Tongtian's treasure, isn't it?"

"It seems the waters of this Primordial Land run far deeper than I thought... Not only have saints like Sanqi and a great power named Yao Yao emerged, but even the news that Rahu is still alive has been revealed..."

"The Primordial... the heavens are about to change..."

Grand Supreme Old Lord stared at the sky, at the Hongmeng Purple Gold List that blotted out the sun, murmuring to himself.

Compared to Yao Yao, Sanqi, and the Ape Monkey, what concerned him more was this Hongmeng Purple Gold List.

Just as the billions of beings in the Primordial marveled...

The Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began to seethe once more.

Then treasures manifested in the air.

The billions of beings in the Primordial erupted again...

This time, their guesses were spot on.

"As expected..."
