Chapter Summary: Hunyuan Grand Ultimate Golden Immortal

Key Plot Points and Events

• While Pingxin and Luohu’s factions clash elsewhere in the endless chaos, Zhou Ming leads the twelve Ancestral Witches to Zixiao Palace.
• They find Hongjun waiting—but he has been completely devoured by the Heavenly Dao. The figure now possesses Hongjun’s body and a flawless, coldly indifferent will.
• The Heavenly Dao reveals that, after consuming Hongjun and using his Chaos Demon God body, it has advanced beyond the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and reached the Hunyuan Grand Ultimate Golden Immortal realm.
• It claims that its current strength is comparable to Pangu’s power during the creation of the world. Its goal is to kill Zhou Ming and the Ancestral Witches, seize total control of the Primordial Wilderness, devour the Earth Dao and Human Dao, escape its cosmic “cage,” and attain the supreme Great Dao.
• Rather than waste time arguing, Zhou Ming summons Pangu Hall and orders the Ancestral Witches to form their grand formation.
• The twelve Ancestral Witches and Zhou Ming occupy thirteen positions, combining their qi and blood to create Pangu’s True Body. Pangu Hall enters the giant’s chest, greatly amplifying its already terrifying aura.
• Zhou Ming argues that the Heavenly Dao has only just entered the Hunyuan Grand Ultimate Golden Immortal realm, while Pangu was already at its peak when he created the world.

• The Heavenly Dao reveals the crucial weakness of Pangu’s True Body: every use of the Pangu Axe consumes the remnant of Pangu’s Will. He intends to prolong the battle until that will is completely exhausted.
