Chapter 47

Thus, Shen Ji resolved to change the situation, condensing a virtual Dao Fruit and the power of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, while simultaneously replicating the power of the Postnatal Great Dao.

Although the Netherworld remained unaffected for now, the Limitless Demon God was attempting to comprehend the power of the Postnatal Ghost Dao through the Underworld Emperor.

A thousand years later, the Limitless Demon God seemed to have grasped the mysteries of the Postnatal Great Dao and began integrating Ghost Dao power into his Limitless Great Dao. With his greatly enhanced strength, he appeared on the verge of breaking through to the Grand Unity Supreme.

Yet the source of this Ghost Dao power was actually one of Tai Ming's true nine major origin branch veins—the Limitless Dao.

The power of the Primordial Chaos Dao Realm had merged into the main body of the Ghost Dao, and even the former Chaos Demon God, the Limitless Demon God, could not detect its presence.

Thus, he failed to realize that his Limitless Great Dao had been opened up as a branch vein of the Ghost Dao.

Instead, he believed this Dao was compatible with his own Limitless Great Dao.

In truth, any being corresponding to the power of Tai Ming's Nine Transformations of Ghost Dao Origin could sense the Ghost Dao's compatibility.

At this moment, the Limitless Demon God lost faith in the Underworld Emperor and unleashed a terrifying new power of the Limitless Great Dao to attack him.

The Underworld Emperor faced a crisis of dissolution.

Watching from the shadows, the Heart of the Earthly Path finally decided to act, muttering to itself: "I didn't expect Tai Ming's kid to have another hidden move. The power of the Empress Houtu Huangdizhi Who Emulates Heaven's Earthly Dao Position should be enough to stir the beings beneath the Netherworld into action."

The Earthly Dao Lineage had always had a weak presence in the Primordial World. Even for someone like Tai Ming, the Lord of the Netherworld, it wasn't until he broke through to the Grand Unity Venerable God that he understood the difference between the Netherworld and the Earthly Dao.

Unlike the close connection between the Heavenly Dao and the Realm of the Nine Heavens, the Eighteen Layers of Netherworld of the Earthly Dao Lineage had actually existed before the Earthly Dao itself.

In the past, Yue Jianshi had merely perfected the Earthly Dao within the Netherworld and laid down his schemes, but the Netherworld and the true Earthly Dao were two entirely different concepts.

Though one could say Tai Ming and other Innate Divine Beings belonged to the Netherworld Lineage, they had little real connection to the true Earthly Dao.

Yet the true power of the Earthly Dao had never been revealed.

Now, due to the invasion of the Limitless Demon God and the existence of the Empress Houtu Huangdizhi Who Emulates Heaven's Earthly Dao Position, the Heart of the Earthly Path decided to activate the Earthly Dao's true trump card—the Power of the Earthly Dao.

Then, a supremely mysterious Supreme Position merged into the Underworld Emperor's body.

The Heart of the Earthly Path's voice echoed through the Netherworld: "Let the remnants of the Old Era, like the Limitless Demon God, return forever to the land of annihilation!"

Today, let you witness that even though the Earthly Dao Lineage has declined to this state, it remains worthy of its status as a Primordial Hegemon!

Before the words faded, a terrifying power radiated from the Underworld Emperor, and the force of the Empress Houtu Huangdizhi Who Emulates Heaven's Earthly Dao Position revived around him.

In an instant, his strength advanced further, leaving him only a hair's breadth from the Grand Unity Supreme.

Seeing this, the Limitless Demon God's expression changed drastically.

He muttered in disbelief: "How is this possible? These ants can touch the level of the Grand Unity Supreme?"

Under the suppression of the Primordial World, even I can only cross half a foot in; true breakthrough remains out of reach.

The Underworld Emperor, meanwhile, leaped from the early stage of the Half-step Grand Unity Supreme to the Great Perfection level.

While the Limitless Demon God was stunned, the Underworld Emperor did not stop.

His immense power transformed into the Thirty-six Layers of Great Dao Flowing Light, instantly shattering the Limitless Demon God's Chaos Demon God Body, scattering endless remains across the Netherworld.

The Limitless Demon God's remnant soul thus appeared.

All of this seemed lengthy, but in truth, it was completed in the instant the Underworld Emperor's power surged to defeat the Limitless Demon God.

The empowering force of the Earthly Dao Position was incredibly strong, even breaking through the Primordial World's restrictions on the Grand Unity.

With just a fraction of the Earthly Dao's power, the Underworld Emperor was elevated to a state capable of defeating the Limitless Demon God.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying the full awakening of the Earthly Dao would be.

Even if a true Chaos Demon God Dao Master descended in person, they might not be a match for the complete Earthly Dao.

Recalling that the Earthly Dao was established by Yue Jianshi, one of the Ancient Three Sovereigns, the might of Yue Jianshi and the other Ancient Three Sovereigns seemed even more awe-inspiring.

The entire Archaic Era was called the era of the Ancient Three Sovereigns—this was no empty claim.

Back then, Tai Ming's activities in the Netherworld and the information he obtained from You Hun about the Three Sovereigns' Failed Dao Attainment now seemed utterly absurd.

As the Heart of the Earthly Dao disdainfully remarked, even the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation had nearly touched the edge of the Dao Master of the Great Dao realm. How could the Ancient Three Sovereigns, who suppressed the Gods, have failed to attain the Dao?

Now, through the might of the Earthly Dao's power, they glimpsed a fraction of the Ancient Three Sovereigns' strength.

The Limitless Demon God was also horrified.

Deep within the Primordial World, no one had broken through to the Grand Unity Supreme realm—what astonishing power lay hidden?

The Limitless Demon God sensed this secret from the cultivation restrictions of the Primordial World.

He had never felt any cultivator reach the Grand Unity Supreme realm, which was why he had acted so recklessly in the Netherworld before.

But now, he realized the waters of the Primordial World ran far deeper than he had imagined!

Facing the Heart of the Earthly Path's declaration, the Limitless Demon God felt events spiraling out of control.

To play it safe, he made a decision that filled him with shame.

He roared in fury: "You ants have pushed me to this point!"

He, the Limitless Demon God, had never imagined he would one day stoop to such a level.

At this moment, the dense Chaos Demon God aura that had enveloped him instantly faded, replaced by the life force energy of a Primordial Being.

He chose to abandon the essence of a Chaos Demon God and transform into a living being of the Primordial World.

Like a conversion into an Innate Demon God, his aura surged explosively. The remnants of his Chaos Demon God soul and Dao foundation, which he had preserved, shattered in that moment, condensing into his Innate Demon God Dao Body.

After the transformation, his cultivation and power skyrocketed once more, reaching the level of Peak Half-step Grand Unity Supreme.

Yet he could sense that, as time passed, this power would gradually weaken under the suppression of the Primordial World, eventually stabilizing at Mid Half-step Grand Unity Supreme.

Originally, the Limitless Demon God had planned to occupy the Netherworld and then reforge his Chaos Demon God Body within the Primordial World.

But now, all of that had come to nothing.

For the sake of power, he had fully integrated into the system of the Primordial World, forever unable to reclaim his former identity as a Chaos Demon God.

Thus, he harbored deep resentment toward the Underworld Emperor and the Heart of the Earthly Path.

Without hesitation, he wielded the power of the Limitless Great Dao and clashed fiercely once more with the Underworld Emperor.

He swore: "You made me lose everything of the Chaos Demon God—now you will pay with everything you have to compensate me!"

Since the choice was made, the Limitless Demon God would not waver.

He decided to explore this seemingly unremarkable Primordial World.

Perhaps, after converting into a cultivator within the Primordial World's system, he could uncover its hidden secrets.

But for now, his only goal was to make these beings who had underestimated him witness the true power of a demon god!

The Underworld Emperor's understanding of Chaos Demon Gods was still shallow, and his mastery of the Great Dao was less refined than the Limitless Demon God's.

Even at the same realm, without the support of the Power of the Earthly Dao, the Underworld Emperor could not contend with the Limitless Demon God.

Thus, in their confrontation, the Underworld Emperor remained at a constant disadvantage.

The Limitless Demon God's power was ruthless, and the Underworld Emperor's power system, composed of countless ghosts and gods, began to collapse.

If this continued, the Limitless Demon God would likely defeat the Underworld Emperor before the Primordial World's order fully suppressed him.

This possibility was high.

Sensing the crisis, the Underworld Emperor secretly sought aid from the Heart of the Earthly Path.

He asked: "If I abandon all my power, what kind of strike can I summon from the Earthly Path?"

The Heart of the Earthly Path immediately understood his intent, reasoning that it was better to risk everything than to wait for death.

The Underworld Emperor's idea of summoning the Power of the Earthly Dao had an eighty percent chance of success.

Then, the Underworld Emperor withdrew his power, was struck by the Limitless Demon God, and dissolved back into countless Ghost Soldiers and ghosts.

But this did not excite the Limitless Demon God.

Because he sensed a tremendous force beginning to stir beneath this world.

The entire Primordial World and the boundless chaos surrounding it trembled.

The ripple of an intangible will caused all Great Luo beings to feel a terrifying pressure.

Ordinary people could only sense the shaking of the Primordial World's land.

The Limitless Demon God witnessed a horrifying sight: his Innate Demon God Dao Body was destroyed, his very soul was torn apart, and all the temporal branches derived from the Limitless Great Dao were erased.

In the end, a bottomless abyss was left at the scene, the air still thick with a terrifying eternal aura.

The dread power of the Earthly Path was fully revealed.

At that moment, Tai Ming reappeared and instantly annihilated the Limitless Demon God.

The power displayed by the Netherworld's Earthly Path was merely the tip of the iceberg; the true laws of the Earthly Dao had not fully manifested, yet they were an immense, formless force.

Facing this power, the fearsome Limitless Demon God had no chance to resist.

Earlier, the Underworld Emperor had gathered endless Ghost God Power just to barely contend with the Limitless Demon God.

If the Earthly Path's attack had been aimed at them, the entire Lineage of Ghosts and Gods might have been destroyed in an instant.

Tai Ming's Ghost Dao still had a long way to go before reaching the level of the Earthly Dao.

But for now, seeing the Limitless Demon God annihilated, the Heart of the Earthly Path and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though they teased Tai Ming, they knew that without his caution and contingency plans, they might all have been wiped out by the Limitless Demon God.

Who could have guessed that a remnant of a Chaos Demon God still existed in the Primordial World? This battle had cost the Netherworld dearly—its first layer had been destroyed by the shockwaves.

But as long as the Limitless Demon God was eliminated, it was all worth it.

Yet, if the Limitless Demon God had not died, they would face an even greater crisis.

Just as the Heart of the Earthly Path was feeling relieved, a sudden disturbance in the void made his expression shift.

Then, to their shock, the Limitless Demon God actually spoke these words: "You ants, you amaze me.

You almost sent me into the Land of Ultimate Void—even the Primal Heavenly King never wounded me this badly."

Around the Netherworld, the void trembled, and with a cold, harsh voice, the phantom of the Limitless Demon God materialized.

The once-arrogant Limitless Demon God now appeared utterly battered, his aura faint and weak.

His formerly invincible Innate Limitless Dao Body had been severely damaged and had dissipated without a trace.

The Limitless Great Dao was also severely damaged, causing its cultivation to fall from the Half-step Grand Unity Supreme realm, now only equivalent to the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

When facing the Heart of the Earthly Path and the others, it still appeared imposing, but its strength was clearly spent.

Seeing this, the Heart of the Earthly Path was stunned, unable to accept the reality.

The Limitless Demon God sneered at them with contempt, saying that the power of a Chaos Demon God was beyond the comprehension of these ants of the Primordial Wilderness.

It was enraged that they had forced it into such a predicament.

Then it once again unleashed the Limitless Great Dao Divine Chains to attack the Heart of the Earthly Path and the others.

At this moment, the Heart of the Earthly Path and his companions could not withstand this fatal blow.

Just at the critical moment, the Heart of the Earthly Path realized that Tai Ming's power had yet to appear.

He had long sensed Tai Ming's presence and understood that Tai Ming was observing the situation, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Now that the Limitless Demon God's strength had fallen, the combined force of Tai Ming and the Netherworld was enough to crush it.

Tai Ming's figure appeared before the Limitless Demon God, instantly shattering all the Limitless Great Dao Divine Chains.

Faced with Tai Ming's sudden appearance, the Limitless Demon God immediately became wary.

This Netherworld was full of mystery and malice; even with its preparations, it had still suffered a heavy blow here, falling to the Grand Unity Dao Realm.

Tai Ming displayed overwhelming power, not only pinning the Limitless Demon God in the void but also continuously stripping the power from its Divine Soul.

At its peak, such an attack might not have affected it much, but now it left it utterly defenseless.
