Pangu's Remnant Will Battles Rahula, the Truth of the Heavenly Dao Gradually Emerges

The Mirror Great Desolation within the Chaos Bead suddenly materialized, and the Jin'ao Islands of the two worlds collided with a thunderous crash. Amid the folds of time and space, Sect Master Tongtian, his white robes stained with blood, gazed across the void at Qin Yu. The Green Ping Swords in their hands let out mournful cries in unison.

So we are both... Before Mirror Tongtian could finish speaking, a violet thunderstorm suddenly descended from above. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure flickered in and out of sight amid the thunderclouds. Wherever the horsetail whisk in his hand swept, the Mirror Great Desolation began to collapse.

Qin Yu's true body suddenly bled from all seven orifices. The torrents gushing from the Four Gates of Chaos formed a bizarre cycle within him. The true spirits of those fallen Jiejiao Disciples actually regrouped within the newly born chaos universe. The twenty-four Sea Calming Divine Beads transformed into twenty-four heavens, and within them, Zhao Gongming saw an illusion of his future death at the hands of Lu Ya's Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.

Is this the realm Above Hunyuan? A bud of the Chaos Green Lotus blossomed at Qin Yu's fingertips, every petal reflecting a different timeline's ending to the Investiture of the Gods. When he touched one of them, the entire Great Desolation suddenly froze—except for the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, which continued to revolve slowly, their blades revealing densely packed chaos coordinates.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate suddenly let out his first cry of alarm since the beginning of creation. He discovered that a fragment of the Chaos Bell deep within Jade Void Palace was resonating. When the bell's toll pierced through the Thirty-three Heavens, every Saint beheld a terrifying truth: beyond the Great Desolation World, the roots and stems of countless Chaos Green Lotuses wound around billions upon billions of universes, each lotus pod playing out a different Investiture of the Gods Calamity!

What Rahula had severed back then was not some ordinary spiritual root at all! The Sixteen-Foot Golden Bodies of the Two Sages of the West simultaneously cracked apart. Above Daoist Jieyin's head appeared the phantom image of a Chaos Green Lotus pierced through by chains—this was the manifestation of the Great Dao Origin!

By now, Qin Yu had stepped through the Gate of the Netherworld. Beyond it lay the Primordial Chaos Sea from before Pangu's Creation. Amid the floating wreckage of the Chaos Green Lotus, the corpses of the Three Thousand Demon Gods formed a bizarre array. Hovering at its center was half of a broken God-Slaying Spear—and impaled upon its tip was, astonishingly, another version of the Investiture of the Gods List!

The moment Qin Yu touched the list, the Heavenly Dao of the entire Great Desolation suddenly gave a wail of grief. All living beings saw the sky split open into a gaping maw, from whose rift a black blizzard descended. Wherever the snowflakes touched, the Auspicious Clouds of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals began to freeze.

"I've finally been waiting for you." A soft laugh came from the roots of the Chaos Green Lotus. The remnant soul of Devil Ancestor Rahula emerged from the God-Slaying Spear. "Do you think Hongjun truly is the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao? He is merely a thief of the Dao from the previous calamity..."

Qin Yu's gaze sharpened as he stared fixedly at Rahula's remnant soul. "Then what do you want?" he asked in a low voice. Rahula's remnant soul gave a sinister cackle. "I want to reclaim everything that belongs to me, and you are the key." As soon as he spoke, the God-Slaying Spear suddenly erupted with blinding light. The array formed by the corpses of the Three Thousand Demon Gods began to turn, and an incomparably powerful force surged toward Qin Yu. Qin Yu circulated Chaos Power to resist, the Green Ping Sword humming in his hand. At that moment, the Saints within the Great Desolation World sensed the disturbance and each unleashed vast divine abilities in an attempt to come over. Yet the barrier formed by the black blizzard blocked them outside. Rahula's remnant soul grew ever more rampant. "Today, I shall shatter this Heavenly Dao and reshape the Great Desolation!" Just as he poured all his strength into activating the God-Slaying Spear, Qin Yu suddenly sensed a familiar aura coming from the wreckage of the Chaos Green Lotus. Looking closely, he saw that it was a Fragment of Pangu's Will that had long since perished. The Fragment of Pangu's Will merged into Qin Yu's body, and his strength surged instantly. The Green Ping Sword in his hand burst forth with a radiance ten thousand zhang high as it slashed toward the God-Slaying Spear...
