Grand Unity Deities, Boundless Magic; Melon-Eating Saint, The Theory of the Innate Five Primes

The universe was silent, deep, and vast, expanding freely in this place.

The rules of this universe were so complete and perfect—all the rules possessed by the Primordial Era world could be found here.

Yin-yang, five elements, time-space, four images, creation, destruction, all Great Daos were fully present!

And they combined and paired with each other, reaching the ultimate sublimation, expounding a kind of ultimate principle!

One Dao, surpassing all Daos, achieving the Dao fruit of Grand Unity!

The Dao fruit manifested a world of unprecedented scale... Initially, it was tiny, just a singularity.

But soon, it expanded.

To the point of infinity!

Its vastness was boundless, as if overlapping with the entire Primordial Era world.

So when it fell, when it suppressed, it was almost equivalent to the current immense Primordial Era being lifted up, then smashed down, capable of crushing all enemies into dust!

Brutal!

Terrifying!

World-shaking!

At this moment, facing Dijiang Ancestral Witch, the Grand Unity Demon God, who went all out, displayed his methods... showing what Grand Unity truly was!

Those who had not attained Grand Unity, facing an infinitely vast universe crashing down, could only await their doom in despair.

"Gulp." Feng Xi's body stiffened. Even though he was merely an observer, the aura and pressure of that Grand Unity had been blocked by Dijiang Ancestral Witch, not a single bit of it spilling onto him—yet simply witnessing this horrifying scene with his own eyes strained his spirit to the extreme, making it almost unbearable.

With great difficulty, he managed to speak, murmuring dazedly, "Although I've heard descriptions of Grand Unity countless times, how the Innate Undying Spiritual Light illuminates endless time and space, drawing power from eternity, possessing infinite magical power... only now, seeing it for myself, can I understand such greatness and nobility!"

An infinitely large universe, besides requiring complete and flawless rules, naturally needed infinite matter and infinite vital energy to support its operation.

Otherwise, no matter how profound the artistic conception of a technique, if the magical power was insufficient, it would be easily shattered by a single blow, becoming a laughingstock.

But Grand Unity... such a problem absolutely did not exist!

Their magical power was infinite!

This was because a single strand of Innate Spiritual Light illuminated endless time and space, existing eternally.

In the eyes of such beings, their perception of the essence of heaven and earth surpassed the imagination of all lower-level existences.

They were beings who permeated the entirety of the timeline; the world they saw was not just this single moment.

For ordinary people, lost time was lost and could not be recovered.

But Grand Unity was different!

The past had them, the present had them, and the future also had them!

One proof leads to eternal proof, one existence leads to eternal existence.

Furthermore, just as mortals measure spatial scales, dividing them into tiny segments and stacking quantities upon them.

Grand Unity beings manipulated time in a similar fashion.

They could divide the endless time they occupied into segments.

In each segment, their existence was real and not illusory.

Under the control of a transcendent, overarching Innate Undying Spiritual Light, the power of these existences could be transmitted across time and space... This became a chasm of despair for all those of lower realms.

Grand Unity could never be challenged by Grand Unity.

Because the magical power within a single Grand Unity individual might have an upper limit.

But hundreds of trillions, or even an infinite number of Grand Unity avatars, reaching infinity due to the endless river of time... When such power converged, which Grand Unity would not despair upon seeing it?

Therefore, the Grand Unity Demon God lurking here, coveting the Ancestral Witch, could manifest and create a vast universe that was real and not illusory, constantly expanding towards infinity, and then ferociously wield it, smashing it down towards Dijiang!

This was the might of Grand Unity!

Only Grand Unity could contend with Grand Unity.

Only cheaters could defeat cheaters.

Feng Xi's palms were slick with sweat. At this moment, he earnestly prayed in his heart, hoping Dijiang Ancestral Witch was powerful enough and that his previous boastful words would not become a joke.

To open his mouth and criticize others, only to end up looking like a fool...

That was not the real issue.

The truly critical point was--

If Dijiang was not up to par, Feng Xi, who was standing right beside him, might die from the residual shock!

Fortunately, as one of the twelve top figures of the Witch Clan, he had considerable skill and was worth relying on and trusting.

"Creating a domain in an instant, drawing magical power back into one body?" Dijiang Ancestral Witch looked at the furiously advancing Demon God, his gaze calm and unmoving. "You are not bad."

"Among ordinary Grand Unity beings, you are considered outstanding, worthy of being called a Great Divine Ability User," he said coldly. "But unfortunately, when placed among Great Divine Ability Users, what are you?"

"Those supreme Demon Clan Emperors standing behind you actually expect to rely on you to probe our depth as Ancestral Witches?"

"Do you look down on us too much?" Dijiang's lips curled up, seemingly smiling, but in reality, there was no trace of a smile. This contradictory expression sent a sudden chill through the Demon God Grand Unity who was suppressing him, making his heart race with immense terror!

"Or perhaps, those who know many of the hidden secrets have already guessed something... so they are resolutely refusing to be the first bird, pushing the responsibility onto each other."

"In the end, this suicidal task was assigned to you?"

"Heh... Human Dao... Demon Clan." Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, seemed to sigh, or perhaps mock, "People's hearts are indeed still so inconsistent."

"With a great war looming, they still have the mood to engage in internal strife... I suppose you are the sacrifice of that internal strife."

The last sentence seemed to strike a nerve with the Grand Unity Demon God, enraging him. For a moment, the sense of dread that had been circling his heart faded, and he spoke for the first time since his counterattack, "Why does Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, speak so much? Merely wielding the power of words!"

"First, break through my 'Nether Extreme Dark Domain'!"

The dark universe was pushed aside. Such high-quality, high-energy existence had actually shaken the current Primordial Era world, eroding the fundamental rules of heaven and earth!

A darkness, boundless and vast, spread out. Countless beings living on the Primordial Era lands discovered in terror—light was receding!

The brilliant radiance of the sun became hazy, the dazzling silver light of the moon dimmed, and the ethereal starlight of the stars scattered... Absolute darkness was about to dominate the cosmos!

A Demon God stood tall in this darkness, yet it radiated light. It had a dragon's head, a tiger's body, and a scorpion's tail, with a pair of wings on its back. Though it seemed like a hodgepodge of a hybrid species, no one would have the blasphemous thought; instead, they felt its ancient, vast presence, with every part of its being being the most perfect, the most sacred!

The Demon God, wielding darkness, covered the world. Rules and orders, born from the myriad ways of the Primordial Era but distinct from this world's principles, spread out, transforming into shackles to seal Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch.

"Clang clang!"

The materialized shackles collided with each other, emitting crisp sounds. Countless beings in the Primordial Era who heard this sound had their souls quietly shattered, leaving behind only empty shells.

Dijiang lowered his gaze slightly, his eyes sweeping across heaven and earth, a hint of compassion in them... Even though those dying now were, by all rights, beings of the Demon Clan, enemies of the Witch Clan in the future, he, as an Ancestral Witch, should have been happy and joyful from the bottom of his heart, cheering on his opponent and encouraging him to continue—the heavy responsibility of destroying the Demon Clan rested on the shoulders of his fellow Daoist, a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan!

But Dijiang's expression now held a trace of sadness and melancholy, like sympathy and a sigh for the tragically deceased beings.

Beside him, Feng Xi, who had witnessed this scene unfold, did not quite understand—why would this Ancestral Witch possess such complex emotions that should not be present given his position?

After thinking about it, he could only attribute it to the Ancestral Witch inheriting Pangu's bloodline and Pangu's spirit of great love, possessing a deep affection for this world and the beings living in it, like a parent's love for their children, or an elder sibling's love for their younger ones... Even though their differing ideals and beliefs dictated their inevitable opposition in the end, this love still existed.

"I am a little unhappy." Dijiang looked at the intertwined shackles spreading before him, a hint of worry knitting his brows. "Even though I stand in opposition to the beings of this era... I haven't engaged in wanton slaughter. Who gave you the right?"

"Dijiang, as the leader of the Witch Clan, what right do you have to judge my actions?" the Demon God sneered. "If the Demon Clan is not managed by us, does it mean you get to decide?"

"Of course, I have the right," Dijiang said calmly. "Once the Demon Clan is defeated, all the myriad races and beings living in the entire Primordial Era will be the property of my Witch Clan."

"Your indiscriminate slaughter is damaging my future property... Considering reproduction and procreation, descendants, and the accumulation of time, you have caused me a great loss of wealth."

What a robber's logic... Feng Xi's expression was strange, but seeing Dijiang's very serious expression, he dared not voice this thought.

"Therefore, I shall mete out punishment to you—with your life." Dijiang raised his hand, clenched his fist, and faced the divine ability created by the Grand Unity Demon God with all his heart and wisdom. He retaliated with the most astonishing and brilliant cultivation base. "Although Grand Unity does not die, and the Dao Fruit is eternally indestructible... there is still the tribulation of sinking and losing oneself."

"The Great Dao with subjective will is called Grand Unity; the Great Dao without self-will is called Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"A problem originating from Pangu's creation of heaven and earth, reincarnation, paying debts... All karma will, and must, be fully explained and concluded in this epoch."

"What could be a grander opening to this brutal Witch-Demon Cataclysm than a Grand Unity falling and transforming into a spiritual treasure?"

"Fellow Daoist... please embark on your journey!"

With that, he threw a punch, simple and direct, yet peerless and magnificent!

"Boom!"

How heavy was that fist?

The mere residual power of the punch shook the entire Primordial Era world!

Above the firmament, the immeasurable sea of stars violently churned, and the myriad stars trembled precariously.

Beneath the earth, the earth veins quivered, nearly collapsing, unable to maintain the stability of the mountains and rivers.

If the residual power was this great, let alone the main force of the strike!

In this instant, all beings that stood before Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch, and opposed him, were shattered!

Tens of thousands of chains instantly broke into dust, leaving not a trace.

The deep and silent universe was directly blown into trillions of fragments, scattering in all directions—this would cause the greatest destruction since the battle began.

These fragments, with extremely terrifying speed, combined with their mass and high-energy vital essence, transformed into the most beautiful yet most terrifying meteor shower in the Primordial Era, bombarding every corner of heaven and earth.

Fortunately, many hidden bosses and Grand Unity divinities, who were leisurely watching the show while munching on melon seeds and sipping tea, finally had a moment of conscience.

On Kunlun Mountain, three streams of pure energy spread out, with Tai Ji lying across them, and auspicious clouds swirling... suppressing a vast expanse of mountains and rivers.

On the Sun Star, a Golden Crow spread its wings, burning away the fragments that scattered across the starry sky.

On Phoenix Perch Mountain, two divinities, controlling yin and yang, manipulated the heavenly mechanisms and fortune, pacifying a region of calamity.

Many great powers, one after another, came online and made an appearance.

Although they quickly went offline again.

Either they quietly remained as spectators, or their eyes were shrewd, secretly evaluating the strength level of Dijiang, the Ancestral Witch.

"So strong!"

"I didn't expect this Ancestral Witch to be so astonishing when he finally made a move..."

Divine senses crisscrossed the heavens and earth, transmitting information.

"Although he is a Grand Unity... in which level of the Innate Five Primes does he stand?" someone speculated. "Tai Yi, Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Tai Su, Tai Ji – five titles that can precede Grand Unity. Tai Ji represents the early stages of Grand Unity reaching a certain height, while Tai Su signifies a senior Grand Unity."

"Tai Shi is a Great Divine Ability User among Grand Unity; Tai Chu is a supreme Great Divine Ability User, a sect leader of great power."

"And Tai Yi is an supreme overlord, who has profoundly comprehended the Way of creating something from nothing..."

The Innate Five Primes expound upon the mysteries from the Boundless to the Great Ultimate, from a state of nothingness to the myriad paths of the Primordial Era, which encompasses all phenomena.

Tai Yi is the highest, the most ancient, the origin of everything, the ultimate "nothingness."

No time, no space, no matter, no vital energy, no name, no concept... nothingness in its entirety!

Then, through Tai Chu, Tai Shi, Tai Su, and Tai Ji, existence emerged from "nothingness." Tai Chu gave birth to vital energy, Tai Shi gave birth to form, Tai Su gave birth to substance, and Tai Ji gave birth to the body... Finally, with vital energy, form, substance, and body all present, the conditions for the birth of the Primordial Era were met!

Grand Unity cultivators in the Primordial Era use this to roughly gauge their own level, and it sounds more impressive when spoken... much better than some unreliable unit of measurement.

"This Dijiang is at least a Tai Chu mighty figure... No, I feel he might even be at the Tai Yi level!" an ancient Grand Unity exclaimed, watching as a single punch shattered the vast universe and pulverized the Grand Unity body of that Demon Clan god into bloody scraps. The brutal scene caused him to swallow involuntarily.

"Impossible, right?" another divine being questioned. "Even Pangu was only at the perfection of Tai Yi... Moreover, he hasn't displayed the true profundity of Tai Yi."

"Even if he hasn't reached the level of a Tai Yi overlord, he is still a peak figure among Tai Chu mighty figures... To manifest a body, vital energy, and self in a single thought, a single breath – this is truly terrifying." someone said. "If he advances further, he will be able to shorten the time interval required to summon a Grand Unity Dharma Body's power, breaking the time needed for a thought to arise and blurring the boundary between existence and non-existence..."
