The Great War Begins

"Come, fight!!!" Pangu's gaze blazed like torches. He had no patience for idle talk with the Chaos Demon Gods. A single roar rolled out like crashing thunder, detonating through the chaotic space and making the entire void hum with vibration.

At this moment, Xuanxiao stood tall at Pangu's side, the Nine Heavens Destruction Halberd gripped tightly in his hand and the Chaos Pearl hovering above his head. This silent gesture made his stance unmistakably clear.

The Chaos Demon Gods exchanged glances. Without a word, countless Chaos Spirit Treasures of varied shapes materialized in their hands in an instant.

Pangu did not hesitate. His form shot like lightning into the midst of the Chaos Demon Gods. With a swing of the Sky-Opening Axe, a dazzling axe-light streaked across the void, instantly reducing hundreds of Chaos Demon Gods to ash—mere dust scattered through chaos.

At the same time, Xuanxiao locked onto his own opponent—the Destruction Demon God.

"Xuanxiao, I truly cannot understand why you insist on standing with Pangu. You should know that even if he succeeds in opening heaven and earth, you will ultimately face your own fall. What drives you to throw away all caution like this?"

The Destruction Demon God asked in bewilderment, even as he clashed fiercely with Xuanxiao. He had known Xuanxiao for a long time and was well aware of his strength, but this choice was utterly incomprehensible.

"Pangu is my elder brother. Since he is determined to recreate the world, I will support him with all my might. Besides, the evolution of the world is the tide of the times—no force can stop it."

As he spoke, Xuanxiao swept his halberd in a sharp arc, precisely parrying the Destruction Demon God's Companion Spirit Treasure—the Spear of Destruction. The moment halberd and spear collided, a blinding radiance burst forth, accompanied by a piercing screech.

"Hmph, utterly foolish! You would abandon your own Dao for this so-called brotherly bond. It seems I have always misjudged you!" The Destruction Demon God sneered with contempt, clearly dismissing Xuanxiao's reasoning.

Just then, many Chaos Demon Gods seized the opportunity, attempting to flank Xuanxiao and encircle him. Sensing their movements, Xuanxiao suddenly flapped the wings on his back. Countless bolts of Chaos Divine Thunder surged from his body, sweeping toward the surrounding Chaos Demon Gods.

At the same time, the Heavenly Eye on his forehead blazed with strange light, unleashing a rain of thunderbolts that shot in all directions.

Watching this, the Destruction Demon God calculated silently. In his view, using the lives of other Demon Gods to drain Xuanxiao's strength was an extremely cost-effective move. So he did not intervene—instead, he stood by and watched coldly.

The moment those Chaos Demon Gods touched the Chaos Divine Thunder, they let out harrowing screams. Dozens of the weaker ones were instantly obliterated by the overwhelming thunderous power, leaving not even a trace behind.

The Destruction Demon God watched his comrades fall without a shred of pity in his eyes—only endless indifference.

"Xuanxiao, our strength has always been evenly matched. Now, with so many helpers wearing you down, you are no match for me!" The Destruction Demon God's face twisted into a mocking grin, his gaze filled with contempt.

"Whether you can defeat me isn't decided by empty words—it's proven by real skill!" Xuanxiao's expression remained calm, completely unshaken by the Destruction Demon God's taunts. His gaze was firm, and the halberd in his hand spun in an impenetrable dance, deftly deflecting each of the Destruction Demon God's attacks.

On the other side of the battlefield, Pangu's performance was nothing short of domineering. The Sky-Opening Axe in his hand flew up and down, each strike carrying the momentum to annihilate heaven and earth. Several Chaos Demon Gods were instantly cleaved beneath the axe. Truly, one axe, one Demon God—brutal beyond measure.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the Chaos Spirit Treasures in the Demon Gods' hands were, they shattered like fragile porcelain before Pangu's Sky-Opening Axe, scattering into fragments across the chaos.

Witnessing this, countless Chaos Demon Gods were filled with terror. Before Pangu's overwhelming might, they felt like insignificant ants, utterly powerless to resist.

At this moment, the faces of Shichen and several other Chaos Demon Gods turned extremely grim. They had believed that united, they could contend with Pangu—but they had never imagined his strength far exceeded their expectations.

"Everyone, it seems we have gravely underestimated Pangu's power. At this point, hold nothing back. Otherwise, the ones who fall in the end will be us!" The Fate Demon God spoke gravely, turning to Shichen and the others.

Shichen and the rest nodded in agreement. Immediately, they unleashed a barrage of powerful Divine Abilities.

"Time Reversal!"

"Space Collapse!"

In an instant, terrifying waves of energy intertwined, surging toward Pangu like a raging tide. These attacks were several times more devastating than before. Even someone as mighty as Pangu would find it no easy task to fully withstand them.

The Chaos Green Lotus beneath Pangu's feet blazed with brilliant light, emitting a crystalline barrier in an attempt to block the ferocious onslaught. Yet the attacks were too overwhelming. Though the Chaos Green Lotus strained with all its might, it could not stop them all. Countless strikes broke through the barrier's defense and hammered violently into Pangu's Dao Body.

But Pangu's Dao Body was incredibly resilient. These attacks only left shallow marks upon it. Still, with so many strikes—including full-force blows from top-tier Chaos Demon Gods—the accumulated damage took its toll. A thin trail of blood seeped from the corner of Pangu's mouth, sliding down his resolute face. Meanwhile, numerous wounds opened across his Dao Body, blood flowing freely and staining the surrounding chaotic space red.

However, this level of injury did not have much impact on Pangu.

In just a single breath, the wounds on his body healed at a visible speed, returning to their original state.

"Damn it! Just how powerful is this guy's Dao Body? So many attacks, and they only gave him a minor injury!" The surrounding Chaos Demon Gods saw that their all-out strikes had merely inflicted a light wound on Pangu. Their hearts were filled with resentment, yet they were helpless, forced to watch Pangu with eyes flickering between fury and fear.

Compared to Pangu's ease in handling the situation, Xuanxiao's predicament was far more difficult.

"Pfft!" Xuanxiao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the void before him.

A massive, shocking hole had been pierced through his body by the Destruction Demon God's Spear of Destruction.

This was the result of Xuanxiao dividing his attention to attack other Chaos Demon Gods, allowing the Destruction Demon God to seize a flaw and launch a fatal strike.

The Destruction Demon God had prepared this attack for a long time. Even though Xuanxiao was protected by the Chaos Pearl, it still managed to gouge out a large hole.

But Xuanxiao paid it no mind. His gaze remained steadfast as he looked at the Destruction Demon God, raised his halberd, and shouted, "Come, Zhan!"

The Destruction Demon God did not hesitate, and the two clashed in an instant.

This time, their attacks became even more ferocious.
