Wisdom Reduction Halo

"They're here." Pangu and Xuanxiao, who had been resting with their eyes closed, both slowly opened their eyes at almost the same moment.

In an instant, two sharp gazes pierced through the chaotic mist, fixing on the distance ahead.

By now, the nearest Chaos Demon Gods had already pressed in like a black storm cloud, almost upon them.

The moment the two opened their eyes, the figures of over a hundred Chaos Demon Gods filled their sight.

However, these demon gods were all among the lower ranks of the Chaos Demon Gods' hierarchy.

Given their strength, even if Pangu didn't lift a finger, Xuanxiao alone could take down these fellows one by one with a single halberd strike each.

The Chaos Demon Gods, who had been charging in with fierce momentum, instantly deflated like a punctured balloon the moment they saw Xuanxiao standing beside Pangu.

"Xuanxiao, Pangu is acting against the natural order, trying to shatter Chaos and reshape the world. Are you going to join him in his evil deeds and aid the tyrant?" A Chaos Demon God, knowing full well he was no match for Xuanxiao, tried to talk him down with words, hoping to drive a wedge between the two.

Hearing this, Xuanxiao shot Pangu a strange look.

Pangu, catching Xuanxiao's gaze, couldn't help but flash a sly grin.

At that moment, Pangu deliberately suppressed his aura, letting off only the presence of a Sixth Heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Big Brother, is this the Divine Ability 'Wisdom Reduction Halo' you developed based on the stories I told you?" Xuanxiao asked, a hint of teasing in his voice.

"So, how about it? My self-created 'Wisdom Reduction Halo'—pretty effective, isn't it?" Pangu replied with a laugh, his eyes brimming with pride.

"Sigh... I don't know if telling Pangu all those novel stories was the right thing to do or not." Xuanxiao looked at Pangu and let out a soft sigh, a trace of helplessness in his heart.

The Chaos Demon Gods in the distance, watching Xuanxiao and Pangu chat as if no one else existed, were instantly enraged.

One of them shouted loudly, "Damn you, Xuanxiao! Don't think just because you're the tenth-born Chaos Demon God, you can look down on us like this!"

Hearing this provocation, Xuanxiao furrowed his brow slightly and coldly spat out two words: "How annoying!"

The moment the words left his mouth, a dazzling flash of halberd light streaked through the void like lightning.

In an instant, the Chaos Demon God who had been shouting vanished without a trace under that halberd light, as if he had never existed in Chaos at all.

The other Chaos Demon Gods around him, who had been just as furious, watched this scene unfold. Their anger receded like a tide, replaced by deep-seated terror.

"Actually... being looked down on isn't so bad..." one Chaos Demon God muttered under his breath, his voice thick with resignation.

Even under the influence of Pangu's "Wisdom Reduction Halo," they no longer dared to provoke Xuanxiao and Pangu lightly, faced with such overwhelming power.

But Xuanxiao wasn't foolish enough to sit around waiting for all the Chaos Demon Gods to gather before making a move.

He turned to Pangu and said, "Big Brother, leave these guys to me."

Pangu nodded. These weak Chaos Demon Gods before him, even if they all banded together, couldn't withstand a casual swing of his axe.

He had no interest in striking them down himself, and since Xuanxiao volunteered, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Xuanxiao gripped the Nine Heavens Destruction Halberd, and with a flicker of movement, he vanished like a ghost, instantly merging into the crowd of Chaos Demon Gods.

"Ah!!!"

Screams of agony echoed through the void, one after another. With each scream, one or several Chaos Demon Gods disappeared.

Soon, the Chaos Demon Gods in that stretch of void were completely wiped clean by Xuanxiao.

After these Chaos Demon Gods fell, Pangu effortlessly extracted the Great Dao laws from them.

These Great Dao laws were all nourishment for him to nurture a new world.

After that, more Chaos Demon Gods arrived in waves.

But the ones who came were almost all small fry, and without exception, they became souls beneath Xuanxiao's halberd.

However, the Chaos Demon Gods soon sensed something was off here.

Gradually, no more Chaos Demon Gods dared to approach recklessly.

Clearly, they all realized that Pangu's side was too strong to handle.

But Pangu and Xuanxiao didn't pay it much mind. They simply waited in silence.

Time passed swiftly, and soon, the span of Three Great Kalpas slipped by unnoticed.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing track next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Now, across from Pangu and Xuanxiao, countless Chaos Demon Gods had gathered in a dense mass.

Their eyes burned with flames of fury as they glared viciously at Pangu.

"Pangu, if you give up your plan to create a world here and now, we might still spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame us for showing no mercy!" A Chaos Demon God stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Pangu, shouting loudly.

At this moment, he sensed the aura of a Ninth Heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal emanating from Pangu.

Though Pangu was stronger than any single one of them, with so many Chaos Demon Gods gathered on their side, this demon god firmly believed that even Pangu was no match for them.

"Kid, you've got some guts. But playing the hero isn't as easy as it looks." Xuanxiao looked at that demon god, a hint of pity in his eyes.

Pangu heard the demon god's words but said nothing. Instead, his aura suddenly erupted.

In an instant, the terrifying presence of a Half-step Great Dao surged outward like raging waves.

This overwhelming pressure drained the color from countless Chaos Demon Gods' faces, turning them as pale as paper. Some of the weaker ones even exploded under the force, like fragile ants, their Great Dao laws collected by Pangu.

As for the demon god who had just spoken so arrogantly, he was naturally the focal point of Pangu's pressure and had already been crushed to death and obliterated.

"Damn it, Pangu was still hiding his strength, but even if you're at Half-step Great Dao cultivation, do you think we'd fear you?" The Destruction Demon God bore down the pressure and let out a cold snort.

Hearing the Destruction Demon God's stubborn words, Pangu's lips curled slightly as he raised a hand.

In his grip was the Pangu Axe, beneath his feet the Thirty-Six-Petal Chaos Green Lotus, and above his head the Jade Disc of Creation.

"Now, what do you think?" Pangu's tone was utterly domineering, his gaze like lightning sweeping across the Chaos Demon Gods before him.

Seeing Pangu's imposing stance, the Chaos Demon Gods almost instinctively took a unified step back.

At this moment, their expressions turned exceedingly grim, their hearts filled with fury and helplessness.

"What the hell, how are we supposed to fight this?!"

They knew full well that in the Chaos World, there were only five Chaos Supreme Treasures in total, and now three of them were in Pangu's hands.

If they said this wasn't the Great Dao playing favorites, they would never believe it.

Yet, despite their grievances, they dared not openly voice complaints about the Great Dao's injustice.

After all, in this Chaos World, the authority of the Great Dao was beyond question.

Still, among the Chaos Demon Gods, there were always those reckless "iron-headed fools" who didn't know their limits.

From the crowd of Chaos Demon Gods, a monkey-like Chaos Demon God stared at the three Chaos Supreme Treasures on Pangu and muttered under his breath, "The Great Dao is unfair—why do I only have one Chaos Spirit Treasure, while Pangu gets three Chaos Supreme Treasures all to himself..."

This speaking Chaos Demon God was none other than the famous battle maniac of the Chaos World, the Great Dao Demon God of War, "Zhan."

Though Zhan's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, everyone present was a Chaos Demon God with keen perception.

No matter how soft the sound, they heard it clearly.

Upon hearing Zhan's words, the Chaos Demon Gods around him recoiled in terror as if they'd seen a plague, swiftly distancing themselves.

In an instant, a vast empty space formed around Zhan.

Zhan's words naturally reached Xuanxiao and Pangu as well.

Pangu studied this "brave soul" who dared to openly complain about the Great Dao with interest, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

Xuanxiao also watched Zhan with equal amusement, musing to himself:

"Isn't this guy the unlucky one whose true spirit was split into four by Big Brother, eventually becoming the so-called Four Chaos-born Monkeys?

And those Four Chaos-born Monkeys all had rotten luck—either suppressed or turned into pawns for others.

Now I see why. Did you think you were Big Brother or me, daring to complain about the Great Dao like that? If you're not doomed, who is..."

Seeing the other demon gods flee from him like a flood or wild beast, Zhan's heart suddenly panicked.

He'd just blurted it out in the heat of the moment, a subconscious complaint, without considering the consequences.

At that moment, Zhan inexplicably felt a chill run through his body, as if a pair of invisible eyes were fixed on him from the darkness.

This prickling sensation made his heart even more unsettled.

Meanwhile, the other Chaos Demon Gods had no mind to spare for Zhan's thoughts.

Their attention remained tightly locked on Pangu and Xuanxiao.
