Chapter Five: World-Ending Millstone Obtained, Time Demon God Appears! (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!) (cont.)

Meanwhile, Zhou Jun finally opened his eyes. Two sharp flashes of light glinted within them as he suddenly raised his head and shouted toward the heavens:

"Great Dao above, from this day forth, I shall be the Time and Space Demon God!"

"Rumble—!"

The roar of the Great Dao came from above, acknowledging Zhou Jun's identity.

Previously, although Zhou Jun controlled two Laws, he could at most be considered a Chaos Demon God of Space who wielded the Law of Time. But now, Zhou Jun was a true and rightful Time and Space Demon God!

As the Great Dao acknowledged Zhou Jun's identity, the bottleneck in his cultivation, which had remained unmoved for so long, finally loosened.

Early Heavenly Dao Realm... Middle Heavenly Dao Realm... Late Heavenly Dao Realm... Peak Heavenly Dao Realm!

In the span of an instant, Zhou Jun actually crossed four minor realms, rising directly from the early Heavenly Dao Realm to the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm!

If not for his fear that advancing too quickly would damage his foundation, Zhou Jun deliberately suppressed his breakthrough to reinforce his base. Otherwise, he might have crossed the Heavenly Dao Realm entirely and entered the Chaos Realm directly!

"Whew... So this is the cultivation of the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm?"

Zhou Jun rose to his feet, stretched his limbs, and sensed his current strength.

"Hahaha! As expected, I'm far stronger than before! The Peak Heavenly Dao Realm and the early Heavenly Dao Realm are truly worlds apart!"

Zhou Jun threw a punch without using any mana, yet the space before him was still smashed into nothingness!

Casually smashing the chaos into nothingness—even a Saint's full-force strike would amount to no more than this!

"Still, now that my realm is higher, further advancement will become more difficult! The later one gets, the harder it is to take another step forward!"

Zhou Jun sighed. It was because the two great Laws had fused and been elevated, coupled with his already profound comprehension of the Great Dao of Time and space, that they nourished him in return and allowed him to rise four levels at once.

If he had truly needed to cultivate slowly on his own, who knew how many epochs it would have taken!

Such good fortune could only be encountered by chance. Trying to come across something like this again in the future would be difficult.

"But even the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm isn't enough insurance. I still have to continue cultivating. If I become stronger than Pangu in the future, would I still need to worry so much about the Tribulation of Sky-Opening?"

Zhou Jun let out a long sigh. The joy of becoming the Time and Space Demon God and rising four levels in succession gradually cooled.

Although the Peak Heavenly Dao Realm was immensely high, he had delayed for so long in order to fuse the Laws. The advantage he gained from awakening early and beginning cultivation before taking form had probably disappeared by now.

Shaking his head with a sigh, Zhou Jun prepared to enter seclusion once more, raise his cultivation, and break through the barrier to the Chaos Realm. But just then...

All of chaos suddenly began to tremble without cease. An unfathomable and vast holy might abruptly spread out, crushing down upon the entirety of chaos!

For a moment, the Great Dao manifested and sacred sounds rang out. All the Chaos Demon Gods looked in every direction at once!

"Hahaha! I am the Destiny Demon God—Bronze Divination Demon Lord, the first Demon God in all of chaos to break through to the Chaos Realm!"

Bronze Divination Demon Lord's voice was incomparably domineering, carrying supreme majesty and the unique authority of the Chaos Realm as it spread throughout all of chaos!

Before Bronze Divination Demon Lord's phenomenon, countless Demon Gods could not help but kneel. Only Heavenly Dao Realm experts and those with steadfast wills could remain unflinching.

"A Demon God who controls destiny?" Zhou Jun narrowed his eyes, and killing intent leaked from them.

"I am the ruler of destiny. I shall control the destinies of all living beings!"

As Zhou Jun pondered, the voice of the Destiny Demon God, Bronze Divination Demon Lord, rang out once more, immediately changing Zhou Jun's expression!

"Impudence! The Destiny Demon God must be destroyed!"

Zhou Jun stared fixedly in the direction the voice had come from and spoke in boundless fury.

Control the destinies of all living beings? Wouldn't that mean even his own destiny would be under Bronze Divination Demon Lord's control?

Leaving aside the fact that Zhou Jun, as a transmigrator, had always believed that his fate was his own and not dictated by Heaven, even the Tribulation of Sky-Opening decreed by the Great Dao was something he had to fight desperately to survive. How could he possibly tolerate handing his fate over to someone else?!

"The Destiny Demon God cannot be allowed to live!"

Zhou Jun snorted coldly, his gaze filled with frost.

"The Destiny Demon God deserves death!"

Zhou Jun's eyes were icy to the extreme. How could he allow anyone else to interfere with his destiny!

His goal was to transcend the Great Dao and attain the eternal Dao. Even the Great Dao itself could forget about controlling him!

And yet a mere Destiny Demon God wanted to control his fate? Today, Zhou Jun would send him back to chaos!

"Ding! A choice opportunity has been detected for the host. Please choose:"

"1. Submit to the Destiny Demon God and allow him to control your fate. Reward: 1,000,000 merit."

"2. My fate is mine, 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 even a moment's hesitation, Zhou Jun made his choice.

Between these two options, was there even any need to choose?

He was absolutely going to kill the Destiny Demon God. No matter who it was, no one could ever control his destiny!

Moreover, compared to 1,000,000 merit, it was obvious which was more valuable: that or the Thirty-Six-Rank Chaos Purple Lotus!

One million merit might seem like a lot, but that amount would make it difficult even to become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
