The Three Emperors had already sensed the battlefield shifting rapidly, drawing closer and closer to Mount Zhou.
The two great gods at the Grand Unity Eleventh Heaven, Wangshu and Hongjun, followed closely behind as the battle grew ever more brutal.
Heavenly Emperor Cangli saw Zhuzhao's actions growing increasingly frenzied: "Zhuzhao, you've lost your mind. Stop this at once."
Zhuzhao's eyes were bloodshot, his laughter both manic and desolate: "I have lost my mind. I want you, Cangli, to regret this, hahaha."
Wangshu watched this scene and sighed softly. Had he still not let go of that grudge?
Back then, Cangli had indeed acted somewhat unethically. The two had competed for the Chaos Bell, and with superior skill, the Innate Supreme Treasure chose Cangli.
A supreme treasure stirs hearts, and the conflict had already taken root. Cangli grew increasingly arrogant, offering Zhuzhao, the Solar Star God, not a shred of compensation, nor even a glance of regard.
In the years that followed, he chose to merge with the Dao. When the Three Emperors clashed with the Five Elder Lords, Heavenly Emperor Cangli swung from one extreme to another.
Hongjun also sensed that this battle might be a scheme of the Chaos Demon Gods, but he held no goodwill toward Cangli.
Cangli believed nothing could ever stump him. To put it nicely, this was fearless boldness and grand ambition; to put it bluntly, he wouldn't turn back until he'd hit a wall.
Goddess Taiyuan, having dealt with the many demon god avatars across the Primordial World, arrived beside Goddess Wangshu and entered the edge of the battlefield.
The immense fluctuations of laws from the battle had already drawn the gaze of every Da Luo in the Primordial World.
Azure Emperor Yang Mei looked toward the battlefield and murmured to himself, "This time I'll side with neither. I wonder if that's right or wrong."
Yang Mei's cultivation had long been able to break through to the Twelfth Heaven, yet he hadn't. Heavenly Emperor Cangli's eyes tolerated no sand—what secret was he really hiding?
The Da Luo Venerable Gods under the Three Emperors' faction wanted to try lending support, but without reaching the realm of Great Divine Powers, they couldn't even find room to intervene.
Many Da Luo Venerable Gods secretly supported Zhuzhao teaching the Three Emperors a lesson. They all opposed the Three Emperors, and life under their rule had been unbearably harsh.
Zhuzhao and the Three Emperors, four in total, fought all the way to this mountain that held up heaven and earth—Mount Zhou.
The aura of Great God Pangu permeated the place, and a Divine Prohibition Grand Formation at the Primordial Grand Unity level guarded Mount Zhou.
The Chaos Demon God Red Sun spoke gravely: "Zhuzhao, get ready. I'll cooperate with you and infuse you with my origin law. Take it well..."
Red Sun was truly bleeding this time, but it was worth it.
Zhuzhao shouted loudly: "God Merged with Dao, sacrifice the demon god, bring forth the Primordial Dao Fruit." This was an evil sacrificial method.
A phantom Dao Fruit appeared from the Primordial World and merged into Zhuzhao's body.
Crimson flames suddenly erupted around him, and thunderous explosions burst forth from his surroundings.
The Three Emperors' faces changed drastically. This was serious trouble—the time to fight for their lives had come.
Zhuzhao smiled wickedly: "So this is the power of the Great Dao Law at the Primordial Grand Unity Realm? It's too strong. Three Emperors, your time is up. Hehehe."
Taiyuan walked over to Wangshu and asked, "Sister, do you think Zhuzhao has broken through to the Primordial Grand Unity Realm?"
Hongjun, possessing fragments of the main body of the Innate Supreme Treasure Jade Plate of Creation and with an understanding of the Dao far surpassing others, spoke first to answer Goddess Taiyuan: "No. Achieving the Dao is difficult—it's not that easy."
Wangshu's gaze was deep: "Half-step Primordial Grand Unity Realm. Even so, it far surpasses the Da Luo Realm."
Only those at the Tenth Heaven and above had the confidence to remain at the battlefield's edge. All other Great Divine Powers had fled far away. The situation of this battle had suddenly shifted—who knew what other tricks might come next?
Zhuzhao had now reached the peak moment of his life.
"Great Sun Glazed · Pure World"
The enormous glazed dharma body was already half the size of Mount Zhou, beating the Three Emperors so badly they could barely endure, teetering on the brink of death.
If this continued, the Three Emperors would fall this very day.
Red Sun's face turned ruthless: "Old friends, long time no see. Now the time has come. Pangu, this time I'll make sure the world you opened pays a heavy price."
The demon gods suppressed beneath Mount Zhou stirred restlessly.
One of the demon gods fanned the flames: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Pangu's seal can no longer hold us back. Fellow demon friends, lend Red Sun a hand, and we'll surely escape."
Another demon god sneered: "Stop boasting. Pangu's Divine Prohibition Grand Formation—you're all too naive. Still, this is indeed an opportunity. Once the seal loosens, escaping will depend on your own skill."
The great battle between the Three Emperors and Zhuzhao continued. It was a race against time—whoever couldn't hold out first would lose.
Four streams of law power intertwined on the battlefield, colliding against Mount Zhou to form annihilating vortices. At this moment, the River of Time itself was torn open with cracks!
The Three Emperors saw a glimmer of hope. Fate was on their side—this battle would end.
The Chaos Demon God Red Sun appeared in Zhuzhao's inner world.
Zhuzhao felt the infusion of laws suddenly stop: "What are you doing? Keep giving me power!"
Red Sun's face was full of treachery: "Don't worry. I promised I'd help you deal with the Three Emperors, and I won't break my word. Just... in a different way. Hehehe."
"Zhuzhao, I've been helping you all along. Now it's your turn to help me. Hehehe."
Zhuzhao found his body could no longer move. Once the half-step Primordial Grand Unity law power entered his body, everything was out of his control. His Dao Fruit was completely seized by Red Sun.
Zhuzhao said in terror: "What are you trying to do?"
Red Sun curled his lips into a sinister smile: "You'll find out soon enough."
"Fellow demons, get ready."
Three of the demon gods spoke in unison: "All prepared. The Three Emperors must pay a heavy price this time."
"God Merged with Dao, stealing our Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit. Before, we were suppressed beneath Mount Zhou, and Pangu's Divine Prohibition Grand Formation was too powerful. The three of us had no way out. But today—their doom has come."
The many Grand Unity experts across the Primordial World thought the battle was over—the Three Emperors had held out until the end.
Wangshu's expression was grim. "I have an ominous feeling. Taiyuan, hurry and leave. Get farther from Mount Zhou."
Wangshu glanced back at Hongjun. He was already long gone. "That old fox."
Wangshu and Taiyuan swiftly withdrew from the battlefield.
By then, Zhuzhao's aura had completely changed. The Three Emperors sensed something wrong and tried to flee.
But it was already too late. Zhuzhao dragged the Three Emperors with him, crashing into Mount Zhou, and then self-destructed, reducing himself to ashes.
Wangshu cried out in alarm: "Zhuzhao, stop!"
Luohu watched this scene and laughed heartily. "Three Emperors, this time you three won't die, but you'll be skinned alive."
It seemed the Three Emperors were not on friendly terms with Luohu—after all, he was the future Devil Ancestor, a dangerous terrorist of the Primordial World.
The Divine Prohibition Grand Formation of Pangu activated rapidly, but the self-destruction of a Half-step Hun Yuan Grand Unity still cracked the seal open by a sliver.
The colossal explosion triggered a great catastrophe. The power of laws swept across the Primordial World, causing heavy casualties among all living beings, even jolting Li Fan awake.
From the Solar Star, Li Fan looked toward Mount Zhou. A crack had opened in the Divine Prohibition Grand Formation atop the mountain. He knew this was a huge problem—a Hun Yuan Grand Unity Demon God might escape. He hoped Great God Pangu would come through.
The Three Emperors had been blasted near Mount Zhou by the explosion. Even protected by their treasures, they had suffered Dao wounds. They stared at Mount Zhou. The matter was not over. No one had expected such an outcome.
Heavenly Emperor Cangli spat blood. "Careless. Damnable Zhuzhao."
At the foot of Mount Zhou, many Demon Gods battered the seal. Five with the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruit managed to escape.
The Demon Gods popped their champagne halfway. The gods looked on in despair, muttering to themselves: "It's all over. The Chaos Demon Gods have emerged."
Just then, atop Mount Zhou, the Primordial Heavenly Dao appeared before the world for the first time.
The All Grand Unity Experts learned for the first time that the Primordial World had a Heavenly Dao. The Innate Supreme Treasure on Hongjun, the Jade Plate of Creation, shone unceasingly.
The gods understood—the Primordial Heavenly Dao was the supreme rule of the Primordial World, the core law governing the cosmos, responsible for maintaining order. It was still gestating and not yet ready to emerge.
"Heavenly Dao Chains."
Five chains bound the Primordial Grand Unity Dao Fruits of the five Chaos Demon Gods, forcibly dragging them back into the seal of Mount Zhou.
The Demon Gods cursed loudly: "Pangu, just you wait."
What a rollercoaster. The All Grand Unity Experts breathed a huge sigh of relief.
But the Chaos Demon Gods were not without recourse. They devised a plan—separating a part of their Dao Fruit to enter the Primordial World as a contingency.
In an instant, five beams of black light plunged into the Primordial Earth. Three of them shot straight toward the Three Emperors.
Taiyuan shouted: "Three Emperors, beware!"
The Dao Fruits that had infected the Three Emperors belonged to these three Demon Gods. They intended to directly possess them.
But they underestimated the Three Emperors. Protected by three supreme treasures, the Demon Gods failed.
The separated Dao Fruits grew even weaker. Seeing the situation was hopeless, they fled the scene.
The Three Emperors were severely wounded, powerless to act. They had suffered Dao wounds earlier. With healing treasures like Three Lights Divine Water, they could recover over a long span of years.
Though the three Demon Gods had failed, combined with the Dao wounds from their earlier battle with Zhuzhao, the treasures could not fully suppress their own Dao Fruits. Their fundamental Dao Fruits were stirred and wounded at the source.
From the Solar Star, Li Fan watched the great battle come to an end. The Three Emperors returned to heal their wounds, and all living beings began to recover. He continued refining the Solar Authority, striving to become the Solar Star God as soon as possible.
