Origin Dao Injury

The Three Emperors had already noticed that the battlefield was rapidly shifting, drawing ever closer to Mount Zhou.

Wangshu and Hongjun, two mighty gods of the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven, followed close behind. The battle grew increasingly brutal.

Seeing Zhuzhao grow ever more frenzied, Heavenly Emperor Cangli shouted, "Zhuzhao, you've gone mad. Stop this at once."

Zhuzhao's eyes were bloodshot, and his laughter was both crazed and mournful. "I am mad. I'll make you regret this, Cangli Clan! Hahaha!"

Wangshu watched the scene and sighed softly. He still hadn't let go of that grievance.

Back then, Cangli Clan truly had acted rather dishonorably. The two had fought over the Chaos Bell, and Cangli Clan had proven more skilled. The Innate Supreme Treasure had chosen Cangli Clan.

Treasures stirred people's hearts, and the seeds of conflict had been planted. Cangli Clan became increasingly arrogant. Not only did he offer the Solar Star God Zhuzhao no compensation, he did not take him seriously at all.

In the years that followed, when they chose God Merged with Dao, the Three Emperors faced off against the Five Elder Lords. Heavenly Emperor Cangli went from one extreme to another.

Hongjun had also sensed that this battle might be a scheme by the Chaos Demon Gods, but he had no fondness for Cangli Clan.

Cangli Clan believed that nothing could possibly stump him. Put nicely, it was a fearless spirit and grand bearing. Put bluntly, he would not turn back until he hit a wall.

After dealing with the many Demon God avatars across the Primordial World, Goddess Taiyuan arrived at Wangshu's side and entered the edge of the battlefield.

The tremendous fluctuations of law unleashed by the battle had drawn the attention of every Great Luo in the Prehistoric Universe.

Azure Emperor Yang Mei looked toward the battlefield and muttered, "This time, I'll help neither side. I wonder whether that is right or wrong."

Yang Mei had long possessed the cultivation to break through to the Twelve Heavens, yet he had not done so. Heavenly Emperor Cangli could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. What secret was Yang Mei hiding?

The Da Luo Venerable Gods under the Three Emperors' faction wanted to try offering support, but unless they had reached the level of Great Divine Powers, they had no room to intervene.

Many Da Luo Venerable Gods also secretly supported Zhuzhao in teaching the Three Emperors a lesson. They all opposed the Three Emperors, and life under their rule had been utterly miserable.

Zhuzhao and the Three Emperors battled all the way to the towering Mount Zhou.

Great God Pangu's aura permeated the mountain, while a Hunyuan Grand Unity-level Divine Prohibition Grand Formation guarded it.

Chaos Demon God Red Sun spoke gravely. "Zhuzhao, get ready. I'll work with you and infuse you with my Origin Law. Take it..."

Red Sun was truly bleeding himself dry this time, but it was worth it.

Zhuzhao shouted, "God Merged with Dao, sacrifice to the Demon Gods—Primordial Dao Fruit, come!" This was an evil sacrificial art.

An illusory Dao Fruit emerged from within the Primordial World and fused into Zhuzhao's body.

Crimson flames suddenly surged around him, while thunderous explosions erupted all around him.

The Three Emperors' expressions changed drastically. Things had become troublesome. It was time to fight for their lives.

Zhuzhao laughed wickedly. "So this is the power of the Great Dao Law of Hunyuan Grand Unity? Too powerful! Three Emperors, your time has come! Hehehe!"

Taiyuan walked to Wangshu's side and asked, "Sister, do you think Zhuzhao has broken through to Hunyuan Grand Unity?"

Hongjun possessed a fragment of the main body of the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Jade Plate of Creation. His understanding of the Great Dao far surpassed that of others, and he was the first to answer Goddess Taiyuan. "No. Achieving the Dao is difficult. How could it be so easy?"

Wangshu's gaze was profound. "He is at the Half-step Hunyuan Grand Unity Realm, but that still far exceeds the Da Luo Realm."

Only the three beings at the Tenth Heaven or above still had the confidence to remain at the battlefield's edge. The other Great Divine Powers had all hidden far away. The situation had changed abruptly; who knew what further trouble might arise?

Zhuzhao had reached the most glorious moment of his life.

"Great Sun Glazed Pure World!"

His immense glazed Dharma body had grown to half the size of Mount Zhou, battering the Three Emperors until they were in utter misery, narrowly escaping death time and again.

If this continued, the Three Emperors would fall today.

Red Sun revealed a ruthless expression. "Old friends, it has been a long time. The time has come. Pangu, this time, the world you created must pay a painful price."

The Demon Gods suppressed beneath Mount Zhou began to stir restlessly.

One of the Demon Gods fanned the flames. "This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Pangu's seal can no longer stop us. Fellow demon friends, lend Red Sun a hand, and we will surely escape!"

Another Demon God sneered. "Stop boasting. You are taking Pangu's Divine Prohibition Grand Formation too lightly. Still, this is indeed an opportunity. Once the seal loosens, whether we can escape will depend on our own abilities."

The fierce battle between the Three Emperors and Zhuzhao continued. It was a contest of endurance, to see who would be unable to hold on first.

Four streams of law power intertwined on the battlefield, colliding against Mount Zhou and forming a vortex of annihilation. At that moment, even the River of Time was torn open with a crack!

The Three Emperors saw a glimmer of hope. End this battle—destiny was on their side.

Demon God Red Sun appeared within Zhuzhao's inner world.

Zhuzhao felt the infusion of law power suddenly stop. "What are you doing? Keep giving me power!"

Red Sun's face was full of malice. "Don't worry. Since I promised to deal with the Three Emperors for you, I will not break my word. It is simply being done another way. Hehehe."

"Zhuzhao, I have always helped you. Now it is your turn to help me. Hehehe."

Zhuzhao discovered that he could no longer move. Once the Half-step Hunyuan Grand Unity law power entered his body, everything was beyond his control. Zhuzhao's Dao Fruit had been completely seized by Red Sun.

Zhuzhao said in terror, "What do you want?"

A sinister smile curled Red Sun's lips. "You will know very soon."

"Demon friends, prepare yourselves!"

Three of the Demon Gods spoke in unison. "We are ready. This time, the Three Emperors must pay a grievous price."

"God Merged with Dao—steal our Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruits! Previously, we were suppressed beneath Mount Zhou, and Pangu's Divine Prohibition Grand Formation was too powerful for the three of us to do anything. Today, their end has come."

The many Great Luos throughout the Primordial World all believed the battle was about to end. The Three Emperors had endured until the very end.

Wangshu's expression was grave. "I have a bad feeling. Taiyuan, leave quickly. Get farther away from Mount Zhou."

Wangshu glanced back at Hongjun, but he was already gone without a trace. "That old fox."

Wangshu and Taiyuan swiftly withdrew from the battlefield.

At this moment, Zhuzhao's aura had completely changed. The Three Emperors sensed that something was wrong and tried to flee.

But it was already too late. Zhuzhao dragged the Three Emperors into Mount Zhou, then detonated himself, utterly vanishing in body and soul.

Wangshu cried out, "Zhuzhao, stop!"

Luohu burst into laughter at the sight. "Three Emperors, even if the three of you don't die this time, you'll lose a layer of skin!"

It seemed the Three Emperors had not treated Luohu very well. He was also the Demon Ancestor of Later Generations, a dangerous terrorist of the Prehistoric Universe.

Pangu's Divine Prohibition Grand Formation began operating at once, but the self-destruction of a Half-step Hunyuan Grand Unity being still tore a crack in the seal.

The tremendous explosion brought immense disaster. Law power swept through the Prehistoric Universe, leaving countless living beings dead or wounded. Even Li Fan was jolted awake.

From Taiyang Star, Li Fan looked toward Mount Zhou. Seeing the crack in the Divine Prohibition Grand Formation, he knew trouble had become serious. Hunyuan Grand Unity Demon Gods might escape. He could only hope Great God Pangu would hold firm.

The Three Emperors were blasted into the area around Mount Zhou. Even with supreme treasures protecting them, all three suffered Dao injuries. They stared at Mount Zhou. The matter was not over, and no one had expected such an outcome.

Heavenly Emperor Cangli coughed up blood. "I was careless. Damn Zhuzhao!"

The many Demon Gods beneath Mount Zhou assaulted the seal, and five Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruits escaped.

The Demon Gods celebrated halfway through, while the gods muttered in despair, "It's all over. The Chaos Demon Gods have been unleashed."

At that moment, atop Mount Zhou, the Primordial Heavenly Dao made its first appearance in the world.

For the first time, all Grand Unity Experts learned that the Prehistoric Universe possessed a Heavenly Dao. The Innate Supreme Treasure upon Hongjun's person, the Jade Plate of Creation, radiated light without end.

The gods understood—the Primordial Heavenly Dao was the supreme rule of the Prehistoric Universe, the core law governing the operation of the cosmos, responsible for maintaining order within the Primordial World. It was still gestating and had not yet reached the time of its birth.

"Heavenly Dao Chains!"

Five chains bound the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruits of the five Chaos Demon Gods and forcibly dragged them back into Mount Zhou's seal.

The Demon Gods cursed loudly. "Pangu, just you wait!"

What a series of twists and turns. All Grand Unity Experts breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The Chaos Demon Gods were not entirely without means of resistance. They came up with a way to separate their Dao Fruits and send them into the Primordial World as contingencies.

In an instant, five streaks of black light shot into the Primordial World. Three of them flew straight toward the Three Emperors.

Taiyuan shouted, "Three Emperors, be careful!"

The Demon God Dao Fruits staining the Three Emperors' Dao were precisely those of these three Demon Gods. They wanted to directly seize their bodies.

Yet they had underestimated the Three Emperors. Protected by three supreme treasures, they did not succeed.

The Dao Fruits separated by the Demon Gods had become even weaker. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, they fled the area.

The Three Emperors were severely wounded and lacked the strength to pursue. They had already suffered Dao injuries, but with healing treasures such as Three Lights Divine Water, they could still recover over a long span of time.

Although the three Demon Gods had failed just now, the Dao injuries the Three Emperors had sustained while fighting Zhuzhao, combined with this attack, meant their supreme treasures could no longer fully suppress their own Dao Fruits. Their Origin Dao Fruits were stirred, and their origins were injured by the Dao wounds.

From Taiyang Star, Li Fan watched the great battle come to an end. The Three Emperors returned to heal their wounds, and all living beings recuperated. He continued refining the Solar Authority, hoping to become the Solar Star God as soon as possible.
