Taichu never expected that the giant skull before him was actually the Remnant Will an ancient demon that had been sealed away.
The ancient demon's Remnant Will let out a sinister laugh, "Taichu brat, I failed to kill you back then, but today I will make you perish here."
Although Taichu had doubts, he still gripped the World Suppressing Sword tightly and shouted with a firm gaze, "I was able to seal you back then, and I can do it again now."
Having said that, Taichu leaped into the air and rushed toward the skull.
The ancient demon's Remnant Will opened its maw and spat out a stream of black flames, heading towards the Taichu Beginning.
The sword spun in the Taichu, forming a shield to defend itself.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, he formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and his body radiated layers of golden light.
Then he shouted and threw the World Suppressing Sword in his hand. The giant sword transformed into a golden dragon phantom, rushing straight at the skull.
The moment the golden dragon phantom pierced through the skull, the skull unleashed a powerful force that shattered the golden dragon phantom.
Taichu seized the opportunity and teleported behind the skull.
He placed his hands on the skull and frantically poured his spiritual power into it.
As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the skull began to tremble violently.
The ancient demon's Remnant Will roared in terror, "Taichu, if you dare to do this again, I will take you down with me even if it means self-destruction!"
"At that time, not only you, but even this Chaos Ancient Ruins will be annihilated."
Taichu sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of your self-destruction? I believe that even if my Great Dao Realm drops today, I will never let you wreak havoc on the world again."
However, at that moment, a Purple Light suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the skull and the Taichu.
A majestic voice rang out from within the Purple Light: "Taichu, stop now! You dare to touch my people?"
Taichu frowned, but did not stop pouring in spiritual energy.
He simply shouted back, "This is the Remnant Will an ancient demon. If it is released into the world, it will surely bring devastation to all living beings. Who are you? Show yourself!"
The being within the Purple Light snorted coldly, "I will handle the matter of the ancient demon's Remnant Will myself; why should you meddle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Purple Light suddenly intensified, forcibly separating the Taichu Beginning from the skull.
Taichu was forced back several feet, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at the Purple Light, his eyes filled with rage. "Who are you? If you let it go today, and it causes a great disaster in the future, can you bear the responsibility?"
"What a joke! I don't need a junior like you to teach me how to do things."
Then dark clouds swept towards the Taichu, and the skull took the opportunity to escape.
Taichu was extremely anxious when he saw the skull flee, but the attack from the dark clouds in front of him was too strange, so he could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
As soon as the dark clouds dispersed, he immediately chased after the direction in which the skull had disappeared.
Throughout the journey, he was filled with doubts. Who exactly was the mysterious person in the Purple Light? Why was he protecting the Remnant Will the ancient demon?
Thinking of this, I felt a powerful force breaking through the air, and the Third Elder had already arrived beside Taichu.
"Sect Leader, are you alright?"
"Third Elder, don't worry, I'm fine!"
"It would be best for the Sect Leader to stay by my side. If I hadn't arrived quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The opponent's strength far surpasses that of the Sect Leader."
Taichu turned to look at the Third Elder, "Third Elder, do you know who that person was just now?"
The Third Elder frowned. "It must be a vengeful spirit from this ancient site."
"The person in the Purple Light is at the Half-Step Supreme Realm. There are many powerful vengeful spirits in the ancient ruins. Sect Leader, you should be careful."
"Are Six-Eared Macaque and the others alright?"
"Sect Leader, rest assured, with the Fifth Elder and a group of powerful figures by Young Master side, Young Master is fine. Let's reunite first."
After saying that, the two disappeared from the spot.
Taichu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was unharmed.
"This place is eerie. Everyone should stay together and head to the heart of the ancient site."
The group proceeded cautiously toward the heart of the ancient site.
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed, and everyone seemed to be in a Blood Sea, with miserable screams echoing in their ears.
Taichu's mind sharpened as he realized that this was an illusion, but it was so powerful that even he couldn't break it in a short time.
But then, a group of blood-red shadows rushed toward them, these shadows were like evil spirits, baring their fangs and claws.
At this moment, the Third Elder took out a magical artifact, and after infusing it with spiritual power, the artifact emitted a soft light, slightly dispelling some of the illusions.
At this moment, a series of scenes appeared before everyone's eyes: many powerful figures above the Great Dao Realm were fighting endlessly for the ancient relics and treasures.
The forces were evenly matched, and the battle eventually turned into a self-destruction, with explosions echoing throughout the Chaos Ancient Ruins.
Even without being there, one can feel the brutality of the battle back then.
Suddenly the scene disappeared, and a suction force brought everyone to the front of an ancient palace.
The temple doors were tightly closed, covered with complex and mysterious runes.
Taichu and the others stood before the hall, they felt a powerful pressure bearing down on them.
"Could this aura be the legendary site of the Heavenly Lord Venerable's treasure?" Taichu murmured to himself.
As everyone looked around, they saw the palace gates slowly opening, revealing a dazzling golden light that blinded them.
As the light dimmed slightly, Taichu was the first to step into the palace.
The scene inside the palace surprised everyone; it wasn't filled with treasures as they had imagined. Instead, a dark golden bead floated in the center.
As soon as Taichu approached the bead, he heard an ancient voice say, "After countless millennia, someone has finally come."
However, there was a transparent barrier that kept everyone outside.
The group looked at each other, unsure of where to begin.
Taichu turned his gaze to the Third Elder.
The Third Elder shook his head helplessly, "This power is far beyond my reach, and I am powerless to help it."
At this moment, the Primordial Chaos World Suppressing Sword rang out with a clang, actually breaking free from Taichu's grasp and flying away.
The Primordial Chaos Heaven Suppressing Cauldron also flew out from the Taichu Spirit Platform, with the sword and cauldron hovering in the air, constantly humming.
Amidst everyone's confusion, the voice rang out again.
"This Heavenly Lord once wielded a sword and a cauldron, sweeping across the Hundun. He was invincible throughout the eight wastelands and six directions. However, the Dao has no end, and in the end, he could not overcome the tribulation of the Dao Transformation."
"Now that the primordial chaos is solidified, those who come after me shall inherit my legacy, break through the shackles, stand at the pinnacle of the primordial chaos, and preside over All Heavens and Myriad Realms. However, they must undergo trials before they can receive my legacy."
Upon hearing this, Taichu stepped forward and respectfully said, "This junior is willing to accept the test."
The voice sounded like a satisfied hum.
"This barrier is formed from the obstacles in my mind; only a pure heart seeking the Way can break through it."
Taichu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened them and formed hand seals, circulating his spiritual power throughout his body. A dazzling white light shot out from his body and rushed towards the barrier.
The barrier trembled a few times, but did not break.
At this moment, the Third Elder stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader, perhaps you need to let go of your obsessions. You have too many entanglements, so how can you wholeheartedly pursue the Dao?"
Taichu was taken aback, reflecting on the many things he had been so persistent about along the way.
Establishing sects, guarding the Primordial Wilderness, venturing into Hundun, seizing opportunities—ultimately, all of these are for the purpose of protecting the world created by our Big Brother Pangu.
All of these actions violated his own path of carefree living.
Now that we are about to stand at the pinnacle of Hundun, we must let go of our inner attachments and wholeheartedly seek the Dao in order to pursue the Great Dao.
He took a deep breath, released all his spiritual energy, and cleared his mind.
In an instant, the barrier transformed into starlight and vanished into the air.
The dark gold bead slowly flew to Taichu and merged into his forehead.
A flood of knowledge and power poured into Taichu's mind and body, instantly transforming his demeanor into something extraordinary.
Taichu felt a powerful force flowing through his meridians.
The person flew into the air, their body flickering and changing light.
The Taichu hung suspended in mid-air. After a long while, the light gradually faded before it slowly descended to the ground.
The crowd gathered around, feeling that the person before them was the embodiment of the Dao, profound and unfathomable.
