New Sprout Era, Heavenly Demons at the Gate!

In the three thousandth epoch after the collapse of the Hundun Mother Tree, the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo knelt deep within the star core of the Primordial Origin World.

The Hundun sprout he held in his palm gave birth to the seventh leaf of the Dao, and each vein of the leaf was filled with fragments of memories from when Six-Eared Macaque burned his origin.

"It's about time..."

The Dao Embryo suddenly opened its eyes, and its gaze reflected the scene of the Guixu Abyss.

On the remains of the Mother Tree shattered by Six-Eared Macaque, nine pitch-black Dao Fruits were wriggling.

On the surface of each Dao Fruit, the face of Xuanji Zi appeared, greedily absorbing the Hundun aura that roamed the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Without warning, a gaping hole, ten thousand feet wide, appeared in the sky of the Primordial Origin World, and nine giant bronze arms, bound with the chains of the Void, reached in.

The vertical pupils that opened in the palm of the giant arm resonated with the new sprout in the hand of the Azure Lotus Embryo.

Dao Tai suddenly felt a burning pain on his forehead, and the Hundun mark left by Six-Eared Macaque cracked open with fine lines—those causal lines that should have dissipated actually grew out from the new sprout roots!

"Master, is this the future you foresaw...?"

The Azure Lotus Dao Embryo's fingertips brushed across the Dao Leaf, and the scene of Six-Eared Macaque's dying moments appeared on the leaf's surface:

The moment the Hun Tian Cudgel pierced the core of the Mother Tree, nine wisps of black energy escaped into the "Tomb of Eternal Silence" at the very bottom of the Ruins of Return.

The bronze giant arm suddenly grasped three newly formed star fields, and the wails of billions of living beings turned into blood-red runes, which condensed into a sacrificial array in the void.

The Chaos Green Lotus beneath Dao Embryo bloomed automatically, and the moment the lotus platform rose, he witnessed an even more terrifying truth.

At the core of each star field lies the slumbering remains of the First Demon Ape, corrupted by the Hundun Mother Tree!

"With the common people as our guide, we summon the return of eternal silence!"

The nine Dao Fruits simultaneously unleashed Xuanji Zi's roar.

The sacrificed star field collapsed into a black dot, and the rumble of a coffin lid shifting echoed from the depths of the Ruins.

Blood flowed from the seven orifices of the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo, but the new sprout in his arms suddenly broke free from its restraints and took root in his beating Dao Heart.

Amidst the excruciating pain, the phantom of the Six-Eared Macaque Emperor's burning body appeared behind the Dao Embryo.

The new shoots and roots penetrated his Hundun body and connected with the earth veins of the Primordial Origin World.

When the first drop of Dao Embryo essence blood seeped into the new sprout, the entire landscape of the Primordial Origin World simultaneously lit up with Chaos Dao Pattern —this was the contingency plan laid out by Six-Eared Macaque before his fall!

"Endless life, eternal existence..."

The Dao Embryo chanted the Daoist verses left behind by Six-Eared Macaque, letting the new sprout drain its life essence.

Beneath the withered shell, the true origin of Hundun began to coalesce.

His bones transformed into a towering divine tree, his bloodline into River of Time, and his shattered soul was reborn from the ashes in the new buds.

The soul reassembles itself among the leaves, each leaf carrying a Hundun secret technique.

A new bud sprouted from the heart and bore fruit, within which slumbered a fragment of the true spirit of Six-Eared Macaque.

With each breath, it stirs up the tides of the heavens, and the exhaled breath transforms into guardian soldiers of the realm.

The nine bronze giant arms exploded with a deafening roar, and a dark figure crawled out of the Tomb of Eternal Silence, letting out a furious howl.

The chains of the Void that wrapped around the dark figure were actually of the same origin as the roots of the newly grown divine tree.

The shadowy figure is actually the dark side of the Mother Tree of Hundun, wielding the power of annihilation over all things.

The chains are formed from the resentment of those who ended eras throughout history, and are specifically designed to suppress the life force of Hundun.

Deep within the coffin lies the annihilated body of the First Demon Ape, vying for origin with the roots of the divine tree.

The embryonic form in Nirvana suddenly realized: so-called eternal stillness is merely another form of Hundun...

Just as the eternal black shadow was about to seize the core of the divine tree, the body of the Dao Embryo Nirvana suddenly became transparent.

From within the newly sprouted Dao Fruit, Six-Eared Macaque illusory hand extends, cradling a miniature version of the Hundun Mother Tree in its palm. "You think I have truly vanished?"

The chains binding the dark figure snapped inch by inch, and all living beings in the Primordial Origin World simultaneously heard the Hundun Dao sound.

The roots of the sacred tree entwined around the Tomb of Eternal Silence, refining it into fertile soil that nourished new shoots.

In Xuanji Zi's final scream, the nine Dao Fruits were swallowed by the vertical pupil between the eyebrows of the Dao Embryo.

"This is the true cycle of reincarnation."

Dao Tai gently stroked the divine tree, watching the Six-Eared Macaque phantom merge with the Mother Tree.

At the edge of the Primordial Origin World, a second Chaos Green Lotus quietly bloomed...

On the day the Chaos Divine Tree completed its seven thousandth annual ring, crimson snowflakes suddenly began to fall in the Bei Ming Star Region of the Primordial Origin World.

The Azure Lotus Dao Embryo, who was comprehending the Dao Leaf, suddenly opened its eyes, and the Hundun dew that had condensed at its fingertips reflected a terrifying scene.

Millions of hollowed-out stars float outside the boundary membrane, each star core parasitized by a hideous monster with bony wings on its back.

"; It's finally here...";

Dao Tai gently stroked the main trunk of the divine tree, and the inscription prophesied by Six-Eared Macaque appeared on the bark. "On the day of the seven perfect cycles, when the Heavenly Demon breaks through the boundary."

Bai Zhuo, the guardian general of Northern Darkness, was leading his army to repair the cracks in the boundary membrane when he suddenly saw the vast sea of stars rise with a tide of pus and blood.

Before the Demon Revealing Mirror he unleashed could even reveal its form, its surface was pierced by a bone claw that appeared out of nowhere.

Twelve Devouring World Demons, their bodies entwined with decaying stars, tore open a rift. The leader's vertical pupil on his forehead was exactly the same as Xuanji Zi's Dao pattern!

"Form the Celestial Cycle Star Array!"

Bai Zhuo crushed his natal Sword Pill, and 30,000 cultivators simultaneously activated their natal stars.

The dazzling starlight condensed into a silver ribbon, but it dimmed abruptly when it touched the Heavenly Demon Bone Wings—the writhing fleshy tendrils on those bone wings were actually devouring the starlight!

"The struggle of ants."

The leader of the Heavenly Demons flicked his finger, and the main star of the Northern Darkness exploded with a deafening roar.

From the flying fragments of the star core, the aura of the Hundun Mother Tree burst forth, instantly corrupting and mutating the foundations of all cultivators.

Bai Zhuo watched helplessly as his comrades grew bone spurs all over their bodies and roared as they turned against him.

When the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo broke through the void and arrived, the Bei Ming Star Region had already been transformed into a furnace of flesh and blood.

His Hundun vertical pupils swirled between his brows, illuminating the pitch-black Dao seed pulsating within the Heavenly Demon Leader's body—clearly a fragment of the Tomb of Eternal Silence!

"How dare you desecrate the legacy of our master!"

The Dao Embryo roared and shattered three thousand decaying stars, and the roots of the Chaos Divine Tree pierced through the Primordial Origin World membrane.

Countless demons were pierced by the roots of the divine tree, but they exploded into foul blood at the moment of death, causing the roots to sizzle as they corroded.

The Demon King grinned as he tore open his chest, revealing the pulsating Eternal Silence Dao.

"If Six-Eared Macaque had not shattered the Mother Tree, how could we have gained true freedom?"

Suddenly, the Dao Seed burst forth with nine layers of black rings, which strangely resonated with the Chaos Divine Tree!

Suddenly, the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo felt a splitting headache, and the altered memories surfaced within the rings of the divine tree: nine Heavenly Demon Eggs had long been hidden deep within the remains of the Mother Tree that Six-Eared Macaque had burned!

Suddenly, nine void rifts opened up, each revealing a giant bronze coffin entwined with rotting flesh.

The Demon King bit his fingertip, using his blood to write a crimson inscription in the void, "With Hundun as a sacrifice, welcome the coming of eternal night!"

All the newly formed stars in the Primordial Origin World extinguished simultaneously, and the seven leaves of the Chaos Divine Tree withered rapidly.

The Azure Lotus Embryo was shocked to discover that its internal origin was flowing backward. The demonic blood absorbed by the roots of the divine tree was actually condensing into a hideous demonic face inside the trunk!

"You think Six-Eared Macaque has truly vanished?"

The leader of the Heavenly Demons suddenly ripped off the human skin, revealing Xuanji Zi's face, which had been corrupted by Eternal Silence.

Within the Seed of Eternal Silence he held in his palm, one could vaguely see the image of the Six-Eared Macaque True Spirit being pierced by chains.

The Chaos Divine Tree suddenly trembled violently, and ninety thousand scarlet demonic eyes opened in its heart.

The Chaos Green Lotus beneath the Azure Lotus Embryo's feet shattered inch by inch, and the Six-Eared Macaque, spanning epochs, echoed in his ears, "Sever the divine tree..."

Chaos Essence Blood burst forth from the seven orifices of the Dao Embryo, drawing Heaven Burning Blood Talisman in the void.

The withered Dao leaf suddenly burst into flames, scorching the filthy demon's face with a sizzling sound, "Master, this disciple has comprehended!"

The Chaos Divine Tree collapsed amidst the raging flames, and 36,000 sparks flew out from its burning trunk.

Each Mars carries with it the unpolluted Hundun, like a meteor shower scattering across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

The eternal night sky, which the leader of the demons had erected, was scorched through by the rain of fire, emitting a mournful howl.

The Azure Lotus Embryo shed its human form amidst the raging flames, transforming into an ancient bronze sword wreathed in Hundun fire.

The sword reflected the image of the Six-Eared Macaque burning their essence, and the Reincarnation Demon Eye opened at the hilt. "This sword will bring peace to all ages!"

The moment the eternal night sky was torn apart by the sword light, a crisp sound of earth breaking came from the ruins of the Primordial Origin World.

A tender green shoot is breaking through the scorched earth, its leaf tip cradling a glistening dewdrop, within which lies a miniature Chaos Divine Tree...
