Chapter 46

Shen Ji, though initially a low-grade Innate Divine Being, possessed the strength of a Transcendent Grand Unity within the Virtual Primordial World.

Yet, outside this virtual world, he had not yet reached the Grand Unity level.

However, Shen Ji was born with the Virtual Great Dao, comparable to the Dao Fruit of an Immortal Venerable God.

In just over a dozen Yuan Hui, he cultivated to the Great Perfection of Grand Unity Venerable God, and even condensed a unique Virtual World Dao Fruit. The power of the Innate Great Dao Laws he comprehended had nearly reached Tai Ming's level.

Shen Ji's goal was the pinnacle Tai Ming had once achieved.

His wish was to replicate Tai Ming's path, hoping one day to fight alongside him against the Primordial Era Supreme Experts.

Yet for a long time, Tai Ming had overlooked Shen Ji's inner strength.

Unbeknownst to him, Shen Ji had gradually advanced along Tai Ming's path and would soon become a Grand Unity Venerable God, no longer relying on the Virtual Primordial World to deal with Grand Unity experts.

Deep within the nineteenth layer of the endless Blood Sea outside the Netherworld, there was a place Jiang Chen had never ventured.

This place was originally empty and silent, but at some unknown time, a broken sacred body had begun absorbing the power of the Netherworld Blood Sea to restore its vitality.

This remnant body emitted a presence similar to Jiang Chen's, shocking to behold.

If Jiang Chen or Tai Ming were here, they would recognize it as the remnant body once abandoned by the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation in the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

Unexpectedly, this remnant body had not been fully assimilated by the Netherworld Blood Sea, and most of the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's Six Paths Reincarnation Disk remained intact.

Under the pressure of the Netherworld Blood Sea, the remnant body merged with the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation.

Influenced by Jiang Chen's Corpse Dao, this remnant body also bore the sensation of the Corpse Dao, like a living spiritual treasure.

Like a monstrous fusion, it suddenly opened its eyes, releasing a heaven-shaking aura.

Though this was the nineteenth layer of the Netherworld Blood Sea, unable to transmit messages to the outside world, it still attracted the appearance of a mysterious voice.

"Finally, a chance to emerge. Primordial Era, await my descent!"

The voice revealed the existence of a mysterious monster and the aura of some awakening Chaos Demon God.

A mysterious remnant soul merged into the monster's body, making it even more bizarre—like a humanoid demon god, covered in ferocious scales the color of the Netherworld Blood Sea, with six single horns on its head, surrounded by mysterious Innate Great Dao divine chains.

Though it displayed an aura surpassing the Grand Unity Dao Realm, it was limited by the world's suppression and could not break through further.

Dissatisfied with this, the mysterious remnant soul expressed that once the world's restrictions loosened, it would return to the peak of Grand Unity Supreme.

A mysterious force swept across the world, crushing all cultivators, and the secrets of the Pangu Clan seemed to be unveiled.

Through layers of the Blood Sea, this mysterious being seemed to detect traces of the Netherworld.

It observed coldly, finding that the beings in this great realm were at best only at the incomplete Grand Unity Dao Realm.

Thus, it decided to bring this world under its control.

Inside the Netherworld, the Heart of the Earthly Path, after long cultivation, finally broke through to the thirty-fourth level of the Grand Unity Dao Realm, stabilizing its realm and becoming a top Supreme Expert of the Primordial Era.

It no longer vanished easily as it had when beside Tai Ming.

Now, full of confidence, it even wanted to show Tai Ming its achievement.

But just then, a figure appeared in the void—Shen Ji, from the Virtual Primordial World.

He brought urgent news: an unknown, powerful being was approaching the Netherworld.

Though confident, the Heart of the Earthly Path felt a trace of unease.

It asked Shen Ji about the unknown being's strength.

Shen Ji's expression was solemn; he said the opponent's power was beyond imagination, and he dared not probe recklessly.

Its aura was the most formidable he had ever seen among Primordial Beings—neither Dao Lord Hongjun nor Demon Ancestor Rahu could compare.

Hearing this, the Heart of the Earthly Path's face changed drastically, and it cursed angrily: "Tai Ming, you jinx! Has your prophecy come true?"

"This person's strength surpasses even Hongjun and Rahu—has he half-stepped into the Grand Unity Supreme realm?"

As for the Grand Unity Supreme realm, even the Heart of the Earthly Path, who once followed Yue Jianshi, had only heard of it by chance.

But the power of that realm was deeply etched into its heart.

"Is Grand Unity Dao Realm truly followed by Grand Unity Supreme? Its power is even greater than I imagined."

Thinking this, the Heart of the Earthly Path began to consider the current environment of the Primordial Era.

It believed the opponent might not have truly broken through to Grand Unity Supreme; otherwise, such an existence would not set its sights on their Netherworld.

Just then, Shen Ji's voice brought some relief to the Heart of the Earthly Path.

"Senior, after another investigation, I feel that the opponent's aura is quite similar to the former Beast Emperor of Reincarnation, and I can sense the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk."

As the bearer of the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's legacy, Shen Ji had a deep perception of the Beast Emperor's aura and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk's power.

This gave the Heart of the Earthly Path some associations, and it relaxed its vigilance slightly.

But then, Shen Ji's next words tightened its heart again.

"Besides that, I also sensed another, even more terrifying power—seemingly from a Chaos Demon God."

Though Shen Ji had never truly witnessed the power of a Chaos Demon God, through various inheritances and his experiences in the Virtual Primordial World, he was already very familiar with it.

This news made the Heart of the Earthly Path grow serious once more.

The Heart of the Earthly Path was somewhat displeased with Shen Ji's manner of speaking, and complained, "Why are you, like Tai Ming, always saying half of what you mean?"

"Involving the power of the Chaos Demon God, this trouble in the Netherworld is indeed grave."

The Heart of the Earthly Path was tense inside, yet remained calm, preparing to face the potential crisis.

As long as the other party had not truly broken through to become a Grand Unity Supreme, he still had the confidence to respond.

Thanks to Tai Ming's cautious nature, he had successfully safeguarded the Netherworld Ghost Seal and the Earthly Dao Position of Empress Houtu Huangdizhi Who Emulates Heaven.

After a long span of time, Tai Ming had likely found an opportunity deep within the Netherworld.

Once war broke out, Tai Ming could arrive swiftly.

In his capacity as the Lord of the Netherworld, he could mobilize the power of the Netherworld to resist.

Thus, the Heart of the Earthly Path was not flustered.

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound came from beyond the Netherworld, and the entire Netherworld began to tremble.

Both Shen Ji and the Heart of the Earthly Path turned solemnly toward the source of the sound.

They saw a spatial rift continuously expanding at the world barrier, and a blood-colored figure slowly emerged from within.

The Yin-Yang Ghost Clan and the Ghosts and Gods gathered together, forming a vast army of ghosts and gods that sealed off the surrounding great realm completely.

"Yang Wuyan leads the Yin-Yang Ghost Clan, Yin Wuzui leads the Lineage of Ghosts and Gods, here to await orders and fight for the Ghost Ancestor!"

The ghosts and gods shouted in unison.

Feeling the intense battle intent, the Heart of the Earthly Path's blood surged.

It seemed that encountering this scene right after breaking through was Yue Jianshi's guidance.

The spatial rift vanished, and the mysterious being fully entered the Netherworld.

Facing the surrounding army, the other party gave a mocking smile, as if he did not take them seriously.

The Heart of the Earthly Path attempted to inquire, "Who are you? Why do you possess the power of the Chaos Demon God and invade my Netherworld?"

The other party laughed without hesitation and replied, "I am the Boundless Dao Demon God of the Great Dao from the chaos of yore, wielding the Innate Boundless Great Dao, now known as the Boundless Dao Master.

I myself encompass the Great Dao Laws of Yin and Yang, Taiji, Life and Death, Time and Space, and more."

Since Pangu opened the Primordial World, the Dao Master of the Great Dao had never appeared.

This enemy could not even break through the boundaries of the Primordial World, and thus could not be compared to the Ancient Three Sovereigns of the past.

Perhaps even the hidden powerhouse Dao Lord Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Rahu were a hair's breadth ahead of him.

Yet this enemy's strength was not to be underestimated; he wielded the Innate Boundless Great Dao, had taken half a step into the Grand Unity Supreme Realm, and was among the top existences in the Primordial World today.

His weakness was also apparent.

His body was not his original form, but was constructed from the remnant body of the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation and the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

If his body were destroyed, leaving only the remnant soul of the Chaos Demon God, he could be subdued with the power of Ghosts and Gods.

Having already devised a plan, the Heart of the Earthly Path signaled Shen Ji with his eyes.

In an instant, a vast force crashed toward the Boundless Demon God, yet the latter seemed not to react.

Seeing this, the Heart of the Earthly Path's expression changed drastically.

His own power had only left a shallow mark on the other's body.

Then, the other's wild laughter rang out: "You ants, do you truly think I was unprepared?"

"My body has long been reforged with the power of the Chaos Demon God. How could your strength break through my defense? How could you ever defeat me?"

His words revealed the formidable nature of the Chaos Demon God Body.

Aside from the Power of the Great Dao, nothing else could harm him in the slightest, making the difficulty of the confrontation akin to ascending to heaven.

The Boundless Demon God knew well the principle that "the villain loses by talking too much," so he wasted no more words. In an instant, he unleashed boundless Boundless Dao power, evolving divine chains like a tide that surged toward the Heart of the Earthly Path and the others.

Wherever they passed, all things were annihilated.

At the critical moment that would decide victory or defeat, countless possibilities existed in every instant.

At that moment, amidst the thunderous roar, something seemed poised to determine the outcome.

Suddenly, a massive tide of divine chains surged forward, striking the Heart of the Earthly Path.

In an instant, countless ordinary ghost clans and ghost soldiers were destroyed.

Then, a command from the Heart of the Earthly Path rang out, summoning the Ghost God Underworld Emperor to confront the enemy.

All the Gods and ghosts were urgently assembled, awakening the power of the Netherworld Ghost Seal, and into it surged the Life Pulse Ghost Gods of the Yin-Yang Ghost Clan as well.

This time, the Underworld Emperor was even more terrifying than the form Tai Ming had possessed before; his materialized form was almost unrestricted by time.

Unlike Tai Ming's previous limitation of three breaths, the restriction on the Ghost God Grand Unity had been lifted, and with the Life Pulse Ghost Gods reinforcing the Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Gods.

The Underworld Emperor had already broken through the so-called Thirty-Six Dao Realm, stepping into the Half-step Grand Unity Supreme Realm.

In the face of this immense power, the Boundless Demon God's Boundless Dao power was instantly suppressed.

The moment the opponent was suppressed, the Underworld Emperor mobilized the power of the Ghost Dao to strike, heavily wounding him and sealing his ability to recover.

Though the Limitless Demon God was formidable, even he had to marvel at such a devastating assault.

He began to grasp that the potential of these Postnatal Great Daos far exceeded his expectations.

He started to realize this might be a hidden secret of the Pangu World.

At Yujing Mountain, Dao Lord Hongjun of the Heavenly Dao Lineage sensed violent tremors emanating from the Netherworld Blood Sea.

He learned that a remnant power of a Chaos Demon God was rampaging through the Netherworld, locked in battle with the Underworld Emperor, the Heir of the Heavenly Dao.

Hongjun immediately activated the Jade Plate of Creation, communing with the Heavenly Dao to deduce the course of events.

He did not believe a Chaos Demon God could stir up trouble in the Primordial World, after all, this was a world created by the Pangu Clan.

What concerned him more was whether Demon Ancestor Rahu of the Demon Ancestral Court would make a move.

Rahu noticed the Chaos Demon God's aura resurfacing in the Primordial World. He understood that these Chaos Demon Gods could reincarnate into the Primordial World only because of the Pangu Clan's tolerance.

But he also knew this was no excuse for the Chaos Demon God to run rampant.

A clash between the two sides was inevitable, awaiting only the outcome of the coming great battle to reveal the identity and stance of the mysterious figure playing a key role.

Countless Innate Demon Gods and divinities turned their gaze to the Primordial World, including the reclusive Ancestor Yang Mei and the Old Ancestors of unknown eras, staring at the legends of fate and causal power.

At this moment, the subtle shifts in the Primordial World drew widespread attention, while ordinary beings—those below Grand Unity and Primordial Grand Unity—remained oblivious.

The New Generation competed for glory in the Virtual Primordial World, while far-sighted clans secretly sought a path to break through to the Grand Unity Venerable God realm.

In the Origin Land of the Virtual Primordial World, the sovereign Shen Ji had already returned, growing more anxious after witnessing the Limitless Demon God's power.
