At the same moment, Zhou Jun finally opened his eyes. Two sharp glints flashed through them as he suddenly looked up and shouted toward the heavens:
"Great Dao above, from this day forth, I am the Time and Space Demon God!"
"Boom, rumble!"
The Great Dao rumbled in acknowledgment from above, confirming Zhou Jun's identity.
Though Zhou Jun had previously wielded two laws, he was at best a Chaos Demon God of Space who could use the Law of Time. Now, he was the rightful Time and Space Demon God!
As the Great Dao recognized his status, the bottleneck in Zhou Jun's cultivation, which had remained stagnant for so long, finally loosened.
Early Heavenly Dao Realm... Mid Heavenly Dao Realm... Late Heavenly Dao Realm... Peak Heavenly Dao Realm!
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Jun had leaped across four realms, going straight from Early Heavenly Dao Realm to Peak Heavenly Dao Realm!
If not for his deliberate restraint to avoid destabilizing his foundation—pressing down to solidify his base—he might have vaulted past the Heavenly Dao Realm entirely and stepped directly into the Chaos Realm!
"Whew, so this is the power of Peak Heavenly Dao Realm?"
Zhou Jun stood up, stretched his limbs, and sensed his current strength.
"Haha, indeed far mightier than before! Peak Heavenly Dao Realm and Early Heavenly Dao Realm are truly worlds apart!"
He threw a punch without using any Mana, yet the space before him was shattered into a void!
Casually smashing chaos into nothingness—even a Saint's full-force strike would be no more than this!
"But with a higher realm, advancing becomes even harder! The further along, the more difficult it is to take another step!"
Zhou Jun sighed. His breakthrough came from fusing two laws, elevating them, and his deep comprehension of time and space feeding back into himself, granting him four consecutive leaps.
If he had to cultivate slowly on his own, who knew how many eons it would take!
Such fortune was rare and hard to come by; encountering it again would be no easy feat.
"Still, even Peak Heavenly Dao Realm isn't safe. I must keep cultivating. If I someday surpass Pangu in strength, why would I still fear the Tribulation of Sky-Opening?"
Zhou Jun let out a long sigh, the joy of becoming the Time and Space Demon God and leaping four realms cooling down.
Peak Heavenly Dao Realm was lofty, but he had wasted so much time fusing laws. The advantage he'd gained from awakening early and cultivating before taking form was likely gone now!
Shaking his head with another sigh, Zhou Jun prepared to go into seclusion again, to push his cultivation through the barrier into the Chaos Realm. But just then...
Suddenly, the entire chaos began to tremble incessantly. An unfathomable, majestic divine might erupted, crushing down across all of chaos!
In an instant, the Great Dao manifested, sacred sounds rang out, and every Chaos Demon God turned to look in every direction!
"Haha! I am the Destiny Demon God—Bronze Divination Demon Lord, the first demon god in all chaos to break through to the Chaos Realm!"
The voice of Bronze Divination Demon Lord was overwhelmingly domineering, carrying supreme authority and the unique majesty of the Chaos Realm, spreading throughout all chaos!
Countless demon gods, faced with the vision of Bronze Divination Demon Lord, couldn't help but kneel. Only those at the Heavenly Dao Realm or with unyielding wills remained unfazed.
"A demon god who controls destiny?" Zhou Jun narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent leaking from them.
"I am the master of destiny, and I shall control the fate of all living beings!"
Just as Zhou Jun was pondering, the voice of the Destiny Demon God, Bronze Divination Demon Lord, rang out again, instantly making Zhou Jun's expression shift!
"Outrageous! The Destiny Demon God must be destroyed!"
Zhou Jun stared fixedly in the direction of the voice, speaking with immense fury.
Control the fate of all living beings? Wouldn't that mean his own fate would be under his thumb too?
Not to mention that Zhou Jun, as a transmigrator, had always believed in "my fate is mine to command, not heaven's." Even the Great Dao-ordained Tribulation of Sky-Opening was something he strove to survive. How could he bear to hand his fate over to someone else?!
"The Destiny Demon God cannot be spared!"
Zhou Jun snorted coldly, his gaze filled with icy malice.
"The Destiny Demon God deserves death!"
Zhou Jun's eyes were frigid. How could anyone interfere with his fate?!
His goal was to transcend the Great Dao and achieve immortality—even the Great Dao itself couldn't control him!
And you, a Destiny Demon God, want to control my fate? Today, I'll send you back to chaos!
"Ding! Detected a choice opportunity for the host. Please choose:"
"1. Submit to the Destiny Demon God and let him control your fate. Reward: 1 million merit."
"2. My fate is mine to command, not heaven's—I control my own destiny! Kill the Destiny Demon God. Reward: Thirty-Six-Rank Chaos Purple Lotus!"
"System, I choose the second option!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhou Jun made his choice.
Two options—was there even a need to deliberate?
The Destiny Demon God had to die, no matter what. No one would ever control his fate!
Besides, comparing 1 million merit to the Thirty-Six-Rank Chaos Purple Lotus, which was more important went without saying!
A million merit might seem like a lot, but it wouldn't even be enough to become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
