Chaos First God and Demon

If Chaos Qi is the supreme power of destruction and rebirth, then the energy formed by Primordial Points is the "Dao" and "Reason" that sustains it all.

It is like a craftsman with divine skill, precisely controlling the Great Axe of Chaos Qi, performing the most meticulous, yet most violent, carving on Zhao Gongming's life essence!

His bones shattered inch by inch, only to be reshaped by the surge of Chaos Qi into a more solid, more ancient form, with wisps of mysterious gray patterns beginning to be imprinted upon them. His meridians were completely burst, transforming into a torrent of Chaos, and then, guided by the Primordial energy, new, wider, and tougher river channels were carved out, like miniature Chaos God and Demons coiling within him.

His flesh and blood, his internal organs, even every strand of his hair, were undergoing this metamorphosis of breaking and then establishing!

This is a heaven-defying process of completely surpassing "Innate" and reaching the origin of all things, from "Innate" to "Chaos"!

It's unknown how much time has passed, perhaps an instant, perhaps an eternity.

When that wisp of Chaos Qi was completely refined and absorbed, and when that golden Primordial energy was also depleted, Zhao Gongming's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open!

BOOM!

Two gray Divine Lights shot out from his eyes, piercing the restrictions of the Cave Abode and soaring straight into the nine heavens!

Within those Divine Lights, it was as if stars were born and died, universes revolved, carrying an innate arrogance and dominance!

He slowly lowered his head, looking at his hands. His skin was still fair as jade, but on it, faint Chaos patterns subtly flowed, as if containing the most indestructible truths of heaven and earth.

He could feel that his current physical body, every inch of his flesh and blood, was filled with explosive power. With a mere raise or lower of his hand, he could tear apart the void. Moving mountains and filling seas was no longer a description, but an instinct!

The defensive power of this body was probably no weaker than that of an ordinary early-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal body refiner!

[Ding! Foundation deduction complete!]

[Congratulations to the Host, Foundation has successfully advanced from "Innate Being (Ultimate)" to "Chaos First God and Demon (Initial Stage)"!]

The System's prompt sounded at the opportune moment, and Zhao Gongming immediately calmed his mind to check his status panel.

[Host: Zhao Gongming]
[Foundation: Chaos First God and Demon (Initial Stage)]
[Physical Body: Early Primordial Unity Golden Immortal]
[Realm: Late Golden Immortal (Bottleneck Loosened)]
[Cultivation Art: Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art (Second Revolution)]
[Spirit Treasure: Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls (Chaos Spiritual Treasure)...]
[Primordial Points: 5120 points]

"Chaos First God and Demon..." Zhao Gongming muttered to himself, feeling the aloof aura within him that was incompatible with, yet surpassed, the Great Dao of heaven and earth. A surge of immense ambition rose in his heart.

This, this was the true Foundation of Great God Pangu and the three thousand God and Demons!

Although it was only the initial stage, it had already allowed him to complete the ultimate leap in life's hierarchy!

With a thought, he tried to circulate the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art again.

This time, the cultivation art perfectly matched his new Foundation, with no hint of obstruction.

The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, no, even the deeper, free-floating Chaos energy in the void, madly poured into his body! His cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before!

The previously rock-solid bottleneck of the Late Golden Immortal stage now showed wisps of cracks, as if it could be broken through at any moment!

What surprised him even more was that within his Dantian Sea of Qi, as his Chaos God and Demon bloodline awakened, a wisp of gray flame quietly rose.

This flame had no temperature, yet it emanated a terrifying aura that could burn all things and purify everything.

[Bloodline Talent Awakened: Chaos Demonic Flame!]

[Chaos Demonic Flame: The innate primordial fire of Chaos God and Demons. It can burn enemy Magical Power, Primordial Spirit, and purify all inner demons, curses, and karma.]

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but let out a long roar, the sound rolling and shaking the restrictions of the entire Cave Abode. This

Chaos Demonic Flame was simply a Spiritual Power tailor-made for the impending Great Tribulation of slaughter! Whether for combat or for overcoming tribulations, it had immeasurable effects!

This investment was worth it! So worth it!

He slowly reined in his aura, his gaze falling back on the jade bottle that still contained two wisps of Chaos Qi, a flicker of heat in his eyes.

One wisp had allowed him to be reborn.

What about the remaining two wisps? How should they be used? Should he continue to enhance his Foundation, or... use them to deduce the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls?

Zhao Gongming's consciousness sank into his sea of consciousness, looking at the words "Chaos First God and Demon (Initial Stage)". Although there was a desire to continue advancing, reason told him not to rush.

He had not yet fully controlled the initial stage of the God and Demon body. The power contained within it was like an abyss, requiring time to settle and familiarize himself with.

Forcing another advancement now would lead to an unstable foundation, potentially leaving flaws and being a loss rather than a gain.

His Dao was about seeking stability, advancing step by step, surviving in this dangerous Primordial World, and then planning for other things.

As for the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls... the Primordial Points required to further deduce this Supreme Treasure, which was already a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, would likely be an astronomical figure.

His current more than five thousand points were but a drop in the bucket.

"The immediate priority is to break through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal." Zhao Gongming's gaze sharpened, and he made up his mind.

The leap in his Foundation had already loosened his bottleneck as a Late Golden Immortal, but to truly take that step, he still needed a catalyst, or a massive accumulation of Spiritual Energy.

While secluded cultivation was feasible, in this era of great competition, time was the most precious commodity.

Zhao Gongming's eyes flashed with brilliance, a thought rising from the depths of his heart. A legendary place name appeared in his mind.

In the southern Primordial World, to the sunny side of Buzhou Mountain, lay a vast and boundless marsh, named the "Ten Thousand Lotus Pond."

Legend had it that when Chaos first opened, the Thirty-Six-Petal Chaos Green Lotus that propped up a piece of Chaos shattered, its fragments scattering across the Primordial World and transforming into numerous top-tier Innate Spirit Treasures.

The Ten Thousand Lotus Pond was the place where one of its larger fragments fell. Through endless ages of evolution, it had formed that wondrous scene where immortal lotuses carpeted the land.

Perhaps there, he could find an opportunity to advance further!

With his mind made up, Zhao Gongming no longer hesitated.

He carefully put away the jade bottle containing Chaos Qi and took stock of his Primordial Points.

Five thousand had been spent on deducing his Foundation, and with the original eight thousand-plus, he now had 18,120 points remaining.

Such wealth gave him much more confidence.

He rose, removed the restrictions on his Cave Abode, transformed into a Green Rainbow, and silently left his dwelling, flying directly towards the south of the Primordial Continent.

With his current early-stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal physical body, the speed at which he propelled his escape light was more than ten times faster than before.

Mountains and rivers retreated beneath his feet, and seas of clouds were easily torn apart. In just a few days, a vast marsh suffused with endless water vapor and vitality appeared at the edge of his vision.
