Changkong Daoren Dominates the Leaderboard

What appeared before them was a long blade of bizarre shape.

It was a treasure they had never seen before.

The curve of this blade seemed somewhat eerie.

Yet they could not articulate exactly where the eeriness lay.

But the moment this blade appeared, the aura between heaven and earth suddenly darkened.

As if it could not bear the killing intent of this blade.

The aura emanating from the blade's body involuntarily caused the emotions of the Primordial Beings to dim as well.

It felt as if a great stone had been pressed upon everyone's heart, carrying a certain weight of oppression.

After this blade appeared, the entire Primordial Land fell silent of its own accord.

All silently gazed at the long blade in the sky.

It was not until a long while later that the Grand Dao Script descended from the heavens.

["Eleventh on the Mystic Treasure Chart: Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade. Evil Emperor of Weapons. Primordial Treasure. The archrival of the Grand Dao Supreme Sword. The world's seven wounds, seven hatreds, seven sufferings, seven pains, seven absolutes, seven sins, and seven emotions converged to form this blade. It is the world's ultimate weapon of Sha, evil, severity, turbidity, ferocity, wickedness, and punishment. One slash can sever the heavens, one slash can overturn the earth. Master: Chang Kong!"]

Upon seeing these Grand Dao Scripts, the Primordial Beings felt their scalps go numb.

Just from the name of this treasure alone, they knew it was an object of great inauspiciousness.

One slash can sever the heavens.

One slash can overturn the earth...

This was truly unimaginably powerful.

This blade was virtually a gathering of all the negative emotions in the world.

They wondered what conditions were needed to wield such a blade.

"Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade?"

"The Evil Emperor of Weapons?"

"Is this blade the number one blade of the Primordial Land?"

"But such a formidable treasure actually has an archrival? What is the Grand Dao Supreme Sword?"

"Could the tenth-ranked treasure on the chart be the Grand Dao Supreme Sword?"

"Then how powerful is the Grand Dao Supreme Sword?"

"..."

Everyone murmured to themselves.

Yet their voices betrayed a hint of timidity.

Even a sense of fear.

The mere appearance of this blade directly affected the countless billions of beings in the Primordial Land.

This was enough to show how heavy the blade's Sha Qi was.

All stared dazedly at the long blade in the sky.

The feeling of oppression in their hearts grew heavier and heavier.

For a long time, none of them could snap out of it.

["Tenth on the Mystic Treasure Chart: Grand Dao Supreme Sword. The Supreme of Sword Dao, and also the Supreme of Weapons. Primordial Treasure. Possesses one of the three thousand great daos, the strongest dao: the Supreme Dao. This sword can also be called the Emperor's Sword, the Overlord's Sword, the Light Sword, the Gentleman's Sword... This sword can extinguish all daos, can break all laws. All ten thousand daos under heaven must bow and submit. Master: Chang Kong!"]

It was not until this Grand Dao Supreme Sword, bearing the majesty of heaven's might, appeared

that the Primordial Beings finally snapped out of the blade intent of the Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade.

All gazed with envy at the Supreme Sword in the sky.

"So this is the tenth-ranked supreme treasure on the Mystic Treasure Chart?"

"As expected, it truly is the natural enemy of the Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade... the Grand Dao Supreme... truly formidable..."

"This sword possesses the Supreme Dao, one of the strongest daos... I wonder how it compares to the Floating Dao?"

"The Supreme Dao... the Floating Dao... from the names alone, both sound impressive..."

"It should still be the Supreme Dao that is stronger, right? After all, the Grand Dao Supreme Sword ranks higher than the Floating Pagoda..."

"That's not necessarily certain... This only proves that the Supreme Sword is stronger than the Floating Pagoda, but it doesn't definitively say the Supreme Dao is stronger than the Floating Dao, does it?"

"Why bother with such useless arguments?"

"It's not like we can comprehend these supreme daos... If we could even comprehend a minor dao, that would be thanking heaven and earth..."

"The countless billions of Primordial Beings all buzzed with discussion..."

"Even the Grand Dao Supreme Sword, possessing the Supreme Dao, is only ranked tenth?"

"It's truly impossible to imagine what kind of existences the top ten on the Mystic Treasure Chart must be."

"Regardless, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Creation Jade Tablet hasn't appeared yet. I still firmly believe the Creation Jade Tablet is the strongest."

"Better not jump to conclusions, or you'll end up with egg on your face..."

"Who would've thought this Daoist named Changkong is such a freak—from the fifteenth spot on the Treasure Ranking onward, every single treasure is his..."

"That means this Daoist Changkong must be that Sanqi's master..."

"He wants to protect them... The Demon Race, the Sorcerer Race, and Goddess Nuwa absolutely cannot touch the Human Race now..."

"Let's stop discussing this. What does it have to do with us anyway? As they say, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Let's focus on the Treasure Ranking first..."

"After the Treasure Ranking ends, Goddess Nuwa will go to war with Sage Zhunti. I wonder who's stronger between them?"

"Just watch slowly. There's plenty of good drama. After the Treasure Ranking, there are other rankings..."

"Once all the rankings are announced, this Primordial World will truly begin to change..."

Everyone looked up at the Grand Dao Supreme Sword hanging in the sky, chatting idly.

After the shock-induced fatigue faded away.

A hint of ease even crept in.

Those great powers were right.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

They could only wait quietly for events to unfold.

At that moment, the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began to seethe once more.

Everyone grew excited again.

Was the top ten of the Treasure Ranking finally about to be announced?

The Primordial Beings lay on the ground, gazing at the heavens.

The Purple-Gold Qi churning in the sky grew increasingly turbulent.

After a long while, it actually manifested into a book.

This book exuded an incomparably powerful aura, suppressing the entire Primordial World.

Moments later, the Grand Dao Script manifested in the sky.

["Treasure Ranking Ninth Place: Grand Dao Codex. Primordial Treasure. Comprising 108,000 volumes. Since the Creation Jade Tablet was damaged, the Grand Dao Codex has recorded many great Daos and grasped many origins of the Dao. Anyone can comprehend their own unique peerless Dao from the Grand Dao Codex. Additionally, the Grand Dao Codex records many shocking secret histories such as 'Shrouding the Heavens,' 'Battle Through the Heavens,' 'Soul Land,' 'Purple River,' and 'Swallowing the Starry Sky.' Master: Changkong!"]

"Fuck... no wonder it's ranked ninth on the Treasure Ranking... 108,000 volumes... isn't this the number one codex of the Primordial World?..."

"It even records many great Daos..."

"Whoever masters this codex would master all Daos, wouldn't they?"

"With this codex in hand, any Dao is just a reach away."

"No wonder this book ranks ahead of the Grand Dao Supreme Sword. It's ridiculously strong..."

"But there's something strange too. The Grand Dao Codex, which records all Daos, is only ranked ninth... What kind of freaks are ahead of it?"

"I wonder if that Daoist Changkong is generous. Maybe we could borrow a volume or two to study carefully..."

"Can everyone comprehend their own Dao from this treasure?"

"Truly boundless in its mystery..."

"But what the hell is this mysterious 'Battle Through the Heavens'?"

"'Battle Through the Heavens'? 'Soul Land'? 'Swallowing the Starry Sky'? 'Purple River'? What the hell are these? They sound pretty badass from the names?"

"Didn't you read the Grand Dao Script? It says these are shocking secret histories... Probably some pretty awesome stuff?"

"..."

The billions of Primordial Beings all began discussing endlessly.

"Senior Little Erbi, are you still there?"

"Senior Little Erbi, please explain for us—what exactly is 'Battle Through the Heavens'?"

"And what about 'Soul Land,' 'Purple River,' 'Asura Martial God,' and 'Swallowing the Starry Sky'?"

"I told you, stop asking me. I'm just a little erbi. If there's something you don't understand, go ask those sages..."

"..."

"As expected of Senior Little Erbi. Even his anger has such personality..."

Though the crowd was noisy.

The Grand Dao Codex in the sky had truly stunned them.

A codex recording many great Daos...

Comprising 108,000 volumes...

Clearly, everyone was shocked by the Grand Dao Codex.

The moment this treasure's information was revealed, the entire Primordial World instantly exploded.

Even beyond the Primordial World, one could hear the sharp, collective intake of breath from the Primordial Beings.

The very air of the Primordial World seemed to thin in that moment.

Such was the might of the Grand Dao Codex.

Just as the crowd marveled...

The Purple-Gold Qi in the sky surged once more.

All understood in their hearts—the next divine artifact was about to arrive...
