Six-Eared Macaque stood at the top of the newly formed World Tree, his fingertips tracing the branches that were covered with Pangu's Mark.
Seventy-Two Immortal Mountains floated in the sea of clouds, and golden lotuses, derived from the Star Dao Seed, bloomed on the peaks of each mountain.
Senior Brother Xuan Yuan's sword energy is rebuilding Starfall Peak.
Senior Sister Caifeng's Nirvana Fire illuminated the Eastern Sky Twelve Constellations.
This should have been a time of renewal, but the bronze compass in Six-Eared Macaque's palm suddenly emitted a chilling aura.
"Junior brother!"
The voice of the Caifeng came from below the clouds, its crimson wings stirring up a vortex of spiritual energy.
"An unusual vortex has appeared in the North Sea Eye; the Third Elder says that Immortal Talisman Markings float within it."
Six-Eared Macaque flipped and leaped down from the treetop, his toes touching the air and creating ripples.
The moment the Chaos Dao Embryo and the newly born World Tree resonated, the entire continent's geological veins appeared in the sea of consciousness in minute detail.
When the scene deep in the Northern Darkness was clearly seen, the immortal robe formed by Nirvana Fire moved without wind—the one floating in the vortex was clearly the Star Pattern Shoes that Master wore when he dissipated!
The bronze compass suddenly broke free from control, transforming into Liu Guang and crashing into the vortex.
A bell tolled from the depths of the sea eye, and three hundred and sixty starlight chains appeared from the void, entwining a broken bronze halberd.
The moment Six-Eared Macaque grasped the halberd, the dawn of the Primordial Origin World was suddenly stained with blood, and the death knell tolled simultaneously on the Seventy-Two Immortal Mountains.
"This is... the Immortal Slaying Halberd?"
Xuan Yuan arrived on his sword, but his natal Sword Pill trembled. "How could the divine weapon that my master used to suppress the Chaos Beast tide appear here?"
As Six-Eared Macaque's fingertips touched the dried golden bloodstains on the halberd blade, countless fragments of memories suddenly flooded into his sea of consciousness.
He saw the Guixu Battlefield from 300,000 epochs ago, where Twelve Divine Demons knelt before the white jade throne, and the White Emperor held the complete Immortal Slaying Halberd, piercing his own chest.
The Chaos Tear were not tears at all; they were the crystallization of his shattered Dao heart!
Caifeng suddenly grabbed Six-Eared Macaque's wrist, and Nirvana Fire surged into him through his meridians. "Junior Brother, your eyes!"
The Mirror of Heaven appeared in the clouds, and in its reflection, the left eye of the Six-Eared Macaque was filled with stardust, while his right eye was burning with Demon Flame.
The Creation Pearl in his arms trembled violently, reflecting the depths of the World Tree system, where half of a bronze chain tainted by Demonic Qi was wrapped around it.
At the end of the chain lies a being awakening deep within the primordial chaos.
"So the Shadow Demon was nothing but a puppet." I cleaved through the void with my fingers, and the newly formed World Tree groaned in pain. What gushed from the severed roots wasn't spiritual nectar, but a thick, blood-like black mist. "The true darkness has always been hidden within the White Emperor's scheme."
The Immortal Slaying Halberd suddenly let out a mournful cry, and fine serrations appeared at the broken point.
When I, Six-Eared Macaque, pressed the Creation Pearl against the notch, the universe inside the pearl collapsed with a roar, revealing the remnant soul of the White Emperor curled up at its core.
He raised his hand and touched the golden lotus on his forehead, and the sealed memories burst forth like a flood—
That's not rebirth at all.
The moment the Guixu Sea Eye dissipated, Six-Eared Macaque's true spirit was carried to the Hongmeng Era by the bronze compass.
My master used his last strength to seal me inside the Creation Pearl.
"What exactly are you fighting against?"
Six-Eared Macaque roared at the remnant soul, Chaos Stardust formed a storm around him, "Even the First Generation Heavenly Emperor needed thirty-six eras to plan this?"
The Taichu phantom looked toward the Wailing Sea, where ninety-nine layers of white bone steps were rising.
Each step is inlaid with rotating star fields, and the throne at the top is made of the skulls of Twelve Divine Demons.
When Six-Eared Macaque saw the broken half of the Immortal Slaying Halberd stuck in the armrest of the throne, his blood almost froze.
The remnant soul suddenly scattered into specks of light and merged into the Immortal Slaying Halberd, and the broken part began to slowly grow.
Unseen Dao patterns appeared on the newly formed halberd blade, warnings written in the language of the Hundun Era: When the twins see the truth, the hungry ghost beneath the throne will open its ninth eye.
Xuan Yuan suddenly spat out blood mixed with icy shards, his natal Sword Pill cracking. "Junior brother... the World Tree is draining the lifespan of living beings..."
Six-Eared Macaque suddenly turned around, and the Seventy-Two Immortal Mountains had turned into white bone pillars.
Within those blooming golden lotuses, the Nascent Soul of disciples from various peaks were curled up.
The Fifth Elder's maniacal laughter echoed from the direction of the Sect Leader Hall. The array plate in his hand was channeling the death energy of the Wailing Sea into the earth's veins.
Sensing Liu Six-Eared Macaque's killing intent, the Immortal Slaying Halberd transformed into Liu Guang and pierced through the Fifth Elder's brow.
The splattered blood condensed into runes in the air, and the Third Elder's tribulation robe spontaneously combusted without fire, revealing his chest covered with demonic patterns.
Only now did Six-Eared Macaque realize that the beings in the newly Primordial Origin World had already been replaced by the Hungry Ghosts of the Void!
"Impossible, this must be a trick, someone is trying to lead me astray..."
Six-Eared Macaque roared, and a vertical pupil slowly appeared between its foreheads.
The Six-Eared Macaque' vertical pupils on their foreheads opened wide, seeing through layers of illusion.
He discovered that beneath the Sect Leader Hall lay a portal leading to endless darkness, from which a powerful and evil aura continuously emanated.
He gripped the Immortal Slaying Halberd and charged toward the Sect Leader Hall, defeating numerous controlled cultivators along the way.
Just as he approached the portal, Six-Eared Macaque felt a suction force pulling him inside.
At the critical moment, Xuan Yuan used up his remaining magic power to unleash Sword Pill, temporarily resisting the suction force.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Six-Eared Macaque slashed fiercely at the door with the Immortal Slaying Halberd. A flash of bright light appeared, and a crack appeared in the door.
As the crack widens, the truth behind the door is gradually revealed.
A colossal demon god's figure appeared and disappeared, surrounded by countless hungry ghosts from the Void.
The demon god spoke, "You have finally discovered that all of this was for my resurrection."
Six-Eared Macaque sneered, "Even so, I won't let you succeed."
Having said that, he channeled all his spiritual power into the Immortal Slaying Halberd, and together with Xuan Yuan, charged towards the Demon God.
At this moment, the spiritual power of the entire Primordial Origin World seemed to be summoned and converged towards Six-Eared Macaque.
Six-Eared Macaque and Xuan Yuan charged toward the demon god, while the surrounding hungry ghosts from Guixu swarmed forward in an attempt to stop them.
Six-Eared Macaque brandished the Immortal Slaying Halberd, and wherever the halberd's light swept, hungry ghosts vanished into thin air.
Xuan Yuan then used Sword Pill to clear a path, and the sword energy materialized to slay the approaching evil spirits.
But the demon god simply waved his sleeve, and a powerful force repelled the two of them.
"Do you think you can stop me with this little bit of power?" The demon god's voice was full of disdain.
With a Six-Eared Macaque heart, Liu Er forcibly extracted a portion of his own Chaos Dao Embryo power and merged it into the Immortal Slaying Halberd.
Instantly, the Immortal Slaying Halberd shone brightly, and the Dao patterns on its body flashed with dazzling light.
Seeing this, Xuan Yuan was not to be outdone. He burned his own essence to enhance his strength, and his natal Sword Pill regained its vitality.
Six-Eared Macaque and Xuan Yuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
They charged forward again, the light of the Immortal Slaying Halberd and the Sword Pill intertwining like a dazzling galaxy.
The demon god formed hand seals and chanted ancient incantations, and a black shield appeared in front of him.
Six-Eared Macaque's Immortal Slaying Halberd pierced the shield, sparking bursts of sparks, but it could not break through.
Xuan Yuan's Sword Pill circled around to attack the demon god from behind, but the demon god had eyes in the back of his head and knocked the Sword Pill away with a backhand palm strike.
Just when the two were on the verge of despair, Six-Eared Macaque suddenly sensed a strange movement in the Creation Pearl within his body.
He recalled the faint, hidden power left behind by the remnant soul before it merged with the Immortal Slaying Halberd, which seemed to be a special formation.
Six-Eared Macaque hurriedly communicated with Xuan Yuan, and the two took their positions according to the formation they remembered.
In an instant, strange runes appeared beneath their feet, and the remaining hope of all living beings in the Primordial Origin World was gathered together.
The power of Six-Eared Macaque and Xuan Yuan merged with this power of hope, transforming into a dazzling ray of light that shot directly at the Demon God.
For the first time, terror appeared on the demon's face; he tried to escape, but it was too late.
The light pierced through his body, and the demon god let out a miserable scream. His enormous body gradually dissipated, and the surrounding hungry ghosts also vanished into thin air.
"It was just a clone..."
With a wave of his hand, Six-Eared Macaque's Quasi-Emperor Realm aura spread throughout the Primordial Origin World Primordial Origin World, instantly restoring its vitality.
"Junior brother, when will Master return..." Xuan Yuan looked at Six-Eared Macaque, his heart filled with worry.
