The Primordial Era: I, Hidden for Ten Thousand Ages, Am Exposed

Once that heaven-spanning giant hand appeared, it seemed as if the endless void itself was crushed beneath it.

The vast, majestic aura flooded heaven and earth, and countless living beings in the primordial wilderness stared dumbfounded.

Both were hands that covered the heavens and blotted out the sun, yet the Dao Ancestor's hand was immeasurably stronger than Saint Zhunti's—by millions upon millions of times.

As soon as this giant hand emerged, boundless pressure enveloped the primordial wilderness; wherever it passed, living beings along the way trembled uncontrollably.

The sheer, overwhelming energy made the void itself quake, as if it could barely withstand the immense Dao Intent.

Under the gaze of billions upon billions of living beings in the primordial wilderness, this sky-covering giant hand directly grabbed toward the Primordial Violet Gold List that filled the entire heavenly vault.

All great powers understood that such vast heavenly might could only be the work of the Dao Ancestor, who had long since merged with the Dao.

Some had originally suspected that the Primordial Violet Gold List was the Dao Ancestor's own Dharma treasure.

But now, it was clearly not.

Since the Dao Ancestor had made his move, it seemed this heaven-spanning treasure would fall into his hands.

Yet just at that moment.

The enormous golden list that filled the sky suddenly blazed with brilliant Violet Gold Radiance, illuminating heaven and earth, and its vast aura spread outward.

This aura seemed in no way weaker than the Dao Ancestor's.

The endless presence appeared ready to devour heaven and swallow earth, erasing everything.

Boundless Violet Gold Radiance began to evolve within the void, and soon it manifested into a Violet Gold giant hand.

The scale and might of this hand seemed ten or a hundred times greater than the Dao Ancestor's—spanning countless tens of thousands of miles.

Its sky-covering, sun-obscuring posture was like destruction itself; the commotion was so immense that billions upon billions of living beings were shocked.

Heaven and earth trembled; the cosmos quaked.

"Boom!"

A sound like mountains roaring and seas howling.

It directly shattered the Dao Ancestor's giant hand. The Violet Gold hand did not stop there; carrying the vast, boundless rhythm of the Great Dao, it struck straight into the depths of the heavenly vault, intent on sweeping everything aside.

Moments later, this giant hand vanished into the depths of the sky.

Then came a muffled groan.

It seemed some living being had been wounded by that heaven-spanning hand...

All living beings were utterly shocked; some even had faces ashen as dirt.

The Dao Ancestor had been wounded...

What an astonishing thing this was!

Billions upon billions of living beings were terrified to the core.

The Dao Ancestor was no match for this Primordial Violet Gold List...

Just then, the Primordial Violet Gold List that filled the sky blazed with a surge of Violet Gold Qi, spreading across the heavenly vault and extending through the entire void.

It directly suppressed the Innate Pure Qi, replacing it with the Violet Gold Qi...

The faces of countless living beings in the primordial wilderness changed drastically.

The Primordial Violet Gold List had actually obscured the will of Dao Ancestor Hongjun... replacing it with the will of the Violet Gold Divine List...

This meant that, at this moment, the heavens of the primordial wilderness had changed...

This transformation made the great powers tremble with fear.

In countless ages, when had they ever witnessed such a scene?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had incarnated as the Heavenly Dao, had been wounded by this strange treasure.

This was truly an unimaginable sight.

As the saying goes, first came Hongjun, then came the heavens.

The Dao Ancestor's power had clearly reached an unfathomable realm.

Yet even so, he was still wounded before the Primordial Violet Gold List.

The Primordial Violet Gold List even directly obscured the Dao Ancestor's will, stripping him of his control over the Heavenly Dao.

What terrifying power was this?

Who would still dare to covet this treasure? The greed in everyone's hearts had already completely dissipated like smoke.

This was not a treasure they could covet!

The Dao Ancestor had already been wounded—what virtue or ability did they possess?

This feeling was most deeply felt by the six saints.

Before the Dao Ancestor, they were nothing more than ants.

But the Dao Ancestor, who had gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, had now become an ant before the Violet Gold List...

This utterly exceeded their imagination and overturned their understanding.

The Heavenly Dao Sages were all terrified.

Let alone the other living beings of the Primordial Chaos World?

Countless billions of beings across the Primordial Chaos World all raised their heads, nervously gazing at the Heavenly Vault suffused with Violet Gold Qi.

As the Violet Gold Qi spread across the Heavenly Vault, the spiritual qi of the Primordial Chaos World seemed to grow increasingly dense.

The faint sense of decay that had subtly permeated the entire Primordial Chaos World vanished completely.

In its place was a vigorous, surging vitality and blossoming.

At this moment, the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth seemed to rejoice and seethe.

An indistinct will of the Great Dao was cheering and leaping with joy.

As the Violet Gold Qi spread, in but a moment, the spiritual qi of the Primordial Chaos World seemed to boil over entirely, swelling rapidly like an inflated leather ball.

Soon, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth had multiplied several times over, its density beyond imagination.

Spiritual qi of every attribute flooded the Primordial Chaos World.

Innate Pure Qi... Yin-Yang Two Qi... Five Elements Spiritual Qi... Mysterious Yellow Spiritual Qi...

All kinds of spiritual qi filled heaven and earth, and the entire Primordial Heaven and Earth became radiant with Mysterious Glow, light shining in all directions.

It was like an entirely new world.

Countless great powers across heaven and earth sensed this change.

They could even feel all living spirits of the Primordial Chaos World exhaling the old and inhaling the new.

The entire Primordial Chaos World had become refined and spirited.

Truly, the Violet Gold Primordial had changed the heavens, and the sun and moon of the Primordial Chaos World had taken on a new face!

This transformation of the Primordial Chaos World left everyone utterly astounded.

The sublimation of the Primordial Chaos World directly caused the magical power of those great powers to refine and deepen by several degrees.

"Such a treasure possesses this level of might? The entire Primordial Chaos World has been qualitatively sublimated by this treasure's emergence, wielding the power to turn decay into miracle—no wonder even the teacher is no match for it..."

Primeval Lord of Heaven murmured to himself, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

Beside him, the white-haired and white-bearded Saint Taishang said:

"Junior brother, do not speak recklessly. How can such words be uttered carelessly?"

Primeval Lord of Heaven sighed softly and fell silent.

Another great sage beside them, bald-headed, said:

"Back when Great God Pangu split the heavens, the Great Dao was fifty, Heaven's evolution was forty-nine, and one was lost, causing the Great Dao of the Primordial Chaos to be incomplete, leaving the Primordial Chaos World somewhat decayed."

"Now that the Primordial Violet Gold List has emerged, it directly replaces that lost one, completes the Great Dao of the Primordial Chaos, and seizes the teacher's control, forming a new world—opportunities and crises coexist... Amitabha..."

This bald one was Saint Jieyin of the West. Compared to Saint Zhunti, he was still somewhat fair-minded.

Thus, he spoke the heavenly secret in one sentence.

Hearing this, the other sages remained silent.

They too understood clearly.

Now that heaven and earth had changed faces together, they had a chance to gain new opportunities and greatly advance their strength.

But it also brought a tremendous crisis.

It was entirely possible that other great powers would seize opportunities first, advance by leaps and bounds, surpass them in strength, and threaten their positions.

Another giant, standing tall like a pillar of heaven, wore a grim expression:

"We sages have utterly lost face in this great tribulation—truly shameful. Since things have come to this, are we to continue disgracing ourselves here?"

With that, his face dark, he nodded to Taishang and Primeval Lord of Heaven.

He turned, took a single step, and vanished beyond the horizon.
