Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, an entire Kalpa had gone by.
Throughout this Kalpa, the blood rain across all of Chaos had never ceased.
The endless bloody rain stained the entirety of Chaos crimson.
Chaos was also filled with resentment and baleful energy.
If even a trace of that terrifying Grievance and Fiendish Energy touched anyone below the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm,
their minds would likely collapse and their Primordial Spirits disperse.
They would then become Fiendish Beasts devoid of reason.
Even ordinary Primordial Origin Golden Immortals would not fare much better if they were contaminated by too much of it.
But Hong Yuan was not included among them.
Not to mention that he had Great Dao Daddy looking after him.
Even without that, Hong Yuan would not have cared about this fiendish energy.
Although he had still not broken through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm over the years, Hong Yuan possessed more than one hundred and twenty Laws within his body.
He had comprehended every single Law to the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm.
Though he was still a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, his strength was not much weaker than that of some Second Heaven of the Daluo Golden Immortals.
Though he was still trash in Chaos, he was comparatively powerful trash now.
Boom!
With a world-shaking bang, the Jade Plate of Creation above Pangu's head suddenly split open. Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, it shattered into dozens of fragments that shot in every direction.
The remaining one-third of the Jade Plate of Creation had also dimmed considerably.
Not only that, several faint cracks had appeared upon the Chaos Green Lotus beneath Pangu's feet.
The only ones in better condition were the World-Opening Axe in Pangu's hand, along with Hong Yuan's Chaos Bead and World-Destroying Millstone.
Pangu's expression did not change in the slightest as he faced the damage to his treasures.
Nor did he show the slightest hint of heartache.
He had expected it already.
After all, even Chaos Supreme Treasures could not possibly emerge unscathed when facing hundreds of thousands of Chaos Spirit Treasures.
It was already extraordinarily fortunate that they had not shattered completely.
Fortunately, under his protection, his little brother's Chaos Bead and World-Destroying Millstone had not suffered the slightest damage.
Chaos Green Lotus, Jade Plate of Creation: "Damn it!"
Before Pangu, only several dozen Chaos Demon Gods remained.
The surviving Chaos Demon Gods all looked exceptionally miserable at this moment.
Wounds carrying the Law of Strength spread across their bodies.
Shi Chen and the others were somewhat speechless as they looked at Pangu, who had suffered only minor injuries.
How the hell were they supposed to fight this?
The remaining Chaos Demon Gods could not help but feel despair rise in their hearts.
Previously, hundreds of thousands of Chaos Demon Gods had joined forces against Pangu, yet they had only managed to inflict a minor wound on him.
Now, only a few dozen of them remained.
No matter how they looked at it, there was not the slightest chance of victory.
Yang Mei's expression was extremely bitter. After staring at Pangu for a moment, he hesitantly asked, "Fellow Daoist Pangu, if I am willing to dissolve myself, can you leave me a chance?"
Though all his cultivation and Laws would need to be cultivated and comprehended anew after dissolving himself, he would at least still have a slim chance of surviving.
At most, his origin would be weakened somewhat.
Given several thousand Kalpas, he might not be unable to recover his current cultivation once more.
He simply did not know whether Pangu would be willing to grant him that chance.
Pangu had just been about to say, What the hell are you dreaming about?
But an incomparably majestic voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
This caused Pangu to abandon his original plan.
Thus, he spoke indifferently to Yang Mei.
"Yes."
Hearing Pangu's words, Yang Mei immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Without another word, he dissolved himself on the spot.
Following Yang Mei's actions, nearly half of the Chaos Demon Gods also dissolved themselves where they stood.
They returned to Chaos.

Yang Mei and the others acted so quickly that Shi Chen did not even have time to speak.
Yang Mei and the others' actions also left Shi Chen unsure of what to do.
Was he supposed to admit defeat like Yang Mei?
Just then, two voices rang out.
"Pangu, others may fear you, but I do not! Come, fight me!"
It was a Demon Ape only slightly shorter than Pangu.
Though his body was already covered in wounds, the arrogant fighting spirit emanating from him had not weakened in the slightest. If anything, it had grown even stronger!
Luohu stepped forward alongside the Demon Ape.
"Pangu, I, Luohu, admit that you are strong. But if you expect me to dissolve myself as cowardly as Yang Mei did, I cannot do it!"
A trace of admiration flashed through Pangu's eyes as he looked at the two of them.
He said nothing more, merely weighing the Sky-Opening Divine Axe in his hand.
Then he slashed directly at the two of them!
Yet even though the Demon Ape and Luohu exhausted every ounce of their strength, they still could not hold out against Pangu for long.
A sky full of axe lights swept past.
The two of them fell there and then.
Perhaps due to Great Dao's earlier prompt, or perhaps out of admiration for them, Pangu showed some mercy and did not choose to kill them completely as he had the previous Demon Gods.
Instead, he left behind a portion of their spiritual light.
Luohu's origin transformed into a strand of demonic qi and vanished into Chaos.
The Chaos Demon Ape split into four portions and disappeared into the horizon.
Shi Chen looked at their fates, took a deep breath, and smiled at the dozen or so remaining fellow Daoists.
"Fellow Daoists, I, Shi Chen, shall take my leave first!"
Having said that, Shi Chen charged directly toward Pangu.
The Time Wheel in his hand rapidly expanded, directly enveloping Pangu within it.
But Pangu needed only a single axe strike.
Several cracks immediately appeared upon the Time Wheel.
Yet at that moment, Shi Chen activated the Time Law and drew forth the River of Time, causing it to appear directly before Pangu.
He looked at Pangu with a faint smile.
Then said resolutely,
"Explode!"
The other Demon Gods also understood what Shi Chen intended to do at that moment.
Their expressions immediately changed slightly.
They cried out hoarsely, "Fellow Daoist Shi Chen!"
Along with that cry, an incomparably terrifying energy abruptly swelled from within Shi Chen's body, transforming into a dazzling radiance that illuminated all of Chaos as it engulfed Pangu.
It was not only Shi Chen. The River of Time and the Time Wheel followed immediately afterward.
Together with Shi Chen, they became an energy so terrifying that all of Chaos violently trembled, exploding beside Pangu.
Hong Yuan, within the lotus, also sensed that terrifying force sweeping across all of Chaos.
After staring blankly for several seconds, he slowly shook his head.
A hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
"As expected of Demon God Shi Chen. What a badass!"
Shi Chen's action had undoubtedly severed all paths of retreat for himself.
Perhaps someone resembling Shi Chen would appear in later ages, but that person would ultimately not be Shi Chen himself.
They would merely be someone who resembled him somewhat.
If Shi Chen had had no choice, it would have been one thing, but he did have a choice and still chose this path.
The mournful cry of the Great Dao rang out through Chaos once more. This time, it was far louder than before, accompanied by bloody rain filling the sky, as though it were bidding Shi Chen farewell.
Who knew how long passed within the violent energy of Shi Chen's self-destruction.
Pangu's figure appeared once more.
Though Pangu appeared no different from before, more than a dozen additional cracks had appeared upon the Chaos Green Lotus beneath his feet.
Another small portion of the Jade Plate of Creation above his head had shattered.
