"In my name, Kongtong Seal, break!"
Without hesitation, Huang Tian channeled streams of vital energy, empowering the Kongtong Seal. Boundless golden Destiny descended, stirring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into a frenzy as it continuously permeated the Innate Grand Array before him.
It had taken Huang Tian a full ten thousand years to even understand what this array was.
It ranked among the top ten Grand Arrays of the Primordial Era, the Grand Primordial Two Forms Array, possessing no offensive power.
Its coverage spanned 129.6 million miles, a number aligned with the Innate principles.
Anyone who rashly intruded without finding and destroying the array's core would be trapped and perish, even a Quasi-Saint.
"To think it's a supreme treasure guarded by one of the ten Grand Arrays of the Primordial Era, what incredible fortune!"
The greater the difficulty in breaking the array, the more Huang Tian looked forward to it.
This was because the only Innate Spiritual Treasure Huang Tian currently possessed was the Human Race's Racial Supreme Treasure – the Kongtong Seal.
But the Kongtong Seal was intrinsically linked to the Human Race's Destiny.
He didn't mind bullying the weak, but when it came to fighting top powerhouses, Huang Tian was hesitant to unleash the Kongtong Seal.
If the Kongtong Seal were damaged, the Human Race's Destiny would plummet, making it difficult to survive the Witch-Demon Calamity.
The Earth Spirit Pearl's grade was not low, ranking as a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, but it was purely a defensive Spiritual Treasure.
What Huang Tian needed now was an Innate Spiritual Treasure with sufficient offensive power, and the higher the grade, the better.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
With this thought, Huang Tian increased his output of vital energy, continuously empowering the Kongtong Seal to further break through the Grand Primordial Two Forms Array.
The Kongtong Seal illuminated the Myriad Forms of the Human Race, causing Heaven and Earth to change color. All things became harmonious and integrated, emitting an unfathomably profound aura.
The golden light grew ever more brilliant, drawing an endless stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
After ten thousand years, most of the Grand Primordial Two Forms Array had been deciphered, but the crucial core remained.
"Whoosh!"
"It took twenty thousand years to break through the outer perimeter of the Grand Array, and another hundred thousand years to decipher its core. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the ten Grand Arrays of the Primordial Era!"
Exhaling deeply, Huang Tian couldn't help but exclaim with surprise and joy.
Beyond the thrill of breaking the array, Huang Tian was even happier that the Kongtong Seal had somehow imprinted all the details of the Grand Primordial Two Forms Array.
This meant that as long as he had sufficient materials, Huang Tian could set up the Grand Primordial Two Forms Array anywhere.
This was a top-tier array capable of trapping Quasi-Saint mighty figures, and it would be another great trump card for the Human Race!
"Step!"
Putting away the Kongtong Seal, his gaze burning, Huang Tian decisively stepped into the layers of Immortal Mist.
"Rumble!"
Buzhou Mountain trembled, Heaven and Earth changed color, and countless rifts tore open in the sky.
Nine Heavens Gang Wind continuously seeped through the cracks.
This Nine Heavens Gang Wind, capable of killing Grand Luo Golden Immortals, merely left shallow white marks upon striking Huang Tian's physical body.
"Hiss!"
Completely ignoring the ferocious Nine Heavens Gang Wind, Huang Tian entered a cave that contained a world within it, and he couldn't help but be astonished.
As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were filled with naturally formed profound Dao rhymes.
Most striking was a circular pool at the core of this inner world.
Misty, milky-white vapor rose from it, its edges radiating seven-colored rosy clouds, and an intensely potent aura of creation washed over him.
With each breath, even for Huang Tian, a late-stage Martial Emperor (Da Luo), his cultivation visibly improved.
"Splash!"
Suddenly, the entire pool of Creation Primordial Liquid began to boil.
The Creation Primordial Liquid, which should have been pure and sacred, was stained with a layer of fierce black and red.
"What is this?"
Seeing the object that caused the anomaly clearly, Huang Tian's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
It was completely black as ink, entwined with an unyielding bloody malevolence. The surrounding space continuously distorted and tore, only to restore itself.
"An Innate Supreme Treasure, the God-Slaying Spear?"
When Pangu created Heaven and Earth, the Chaos Green Lotus could not withstand the pressure of creation and shattered. Its petals transformed into the Innate Five Elements Banners, its lotus seed into the Twelve-Petaled Lotus Platform, and its stem fell into the deepest part of the Chaos.
The stem absorbed the resentful souls of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods as they perished, along with the ultimate killing aura that dispersed during the creation of Heaven and Earth. It transformed into an Innate fierce weapon imbued with the Great Dao of Slaughter.
It specialized in destroying Nascent Souls, ignoring defenses, and was known as "God-Slaying." Even Saints regarded it with apprehension.
"Whoosh!"
The God-Slaying Spear vibrated wildly, suddenly surging out of the Creation Pool and attacking Huang Tian.
The terrifying Laws of Slaughter struck Huang Tian, not only damaging his physical body but also fiercely eroding his Nascent Soul.
"Suppress!"
The Kongtong Seal protected its master, emitting a brilliant golden light that instantly pinned the God-Slaying Spear, rendering it immobile.
Huang Tian seized the opportunity, his vital energy invading and refining a restriction on the God-Slaying Spear.
"Buzz."
The golden light receded, and the Kongtong Seal returned to Huang Tian's brow.
The God-Slaying Spear, entwined with black and red energy, landed in Huang Tian's palm.
Even after Huang Tian had refined one of its restrictions, if he hadn't wrapped his palm in vital energy, the God-Slaying Spear could have torn his palm apart.
"As expected of the purest artifact of slaughter."
"It's a pity that it was born alongside the fierce beast emperor—Beast Emperor Shen Ni. It was damaged during the fierce beast Calamity, causing its rank to fall to an ultimate-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
Looking at the God-Slaying Spear in his palm, Huang Tian's expression was filled with regret.
In its prime, the God-Slaying Spear was an Innate Supreme Treasure, its killing power capable of rivaling the Pangu Banner.
Coupled with the Laws of Slaughter, theoretically, the God-Slaying Spear's destructive power was the strongest among all Innate Supreme Treasures.
But now, with its rank fallen, it was merely an ultimate-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, naturally and easily suppressed by the Kongtong Seal, an Innate Supreme Treasure of Merit.
"Still, no matter how you look at it, an ultimate-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is not bad. The God-Slaying Spear shouldn't have ended up unwanted. Why did it appear in a cave halfway up Buzhou Mountain?"
Frowning, Huang Tian pondered.
"This!"
Suddenly, Huang Tian noticed that where the God-Slaying Spear had originally been, the solid Buzhou Mountain had fine cracks.
"Is this another scheme by the Heavenly Dao?"
Recalling the Heavenly Dao's natural resonance that shouldn't have been there, Huang Tian understood!
The God-Slaying Spear had been plundered by the Heavenly Dao and deliberately placed halfway up Buzhou Mountain.
Using the God-Slaying Spear's purest Laws of Slaughter, it would subtly and continuously erode the origin of Buzhou Mountain.
The weaker Buzhou Mountain's origin became, the less Pangu's will it could contain.
Once Pangu's will dissipated, Buzhou Mountain would be nothing but an empty shell.
No wonder Gonggong, who was only a Quasi-Saint, could break Buzhou Mountain with a single headbutt.
"Well played, Sentient Heavenly Dao, going to such lengths to usurp the nest!"
His gaze sharp, Huang Tian's expression turned incredibly cold.
The Primordial World was created by Great God Pangu when he opened Heaven and Earth, so Pangu's will was the supreme will of the Primordial World.
Initially, the Great Dao acted as regent, guiding the Primordial World onto the right track, protected by Pangu's will.
As Calamities continuously occurred and Pangu's will weakened, under the protection mechanism, the Heavenly Dao was born to replace the Great Dao, helping Pangu's will to control and operate the order of the Primordial World.
However, the Heavenly Dao, intertwined with the thoughts of all living beings, attempted to surpass Pangu's will and completely possess the Primordial World.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao had to eliminate Pangu's will to usurp the nest.
And the Buzhou Pillar, formed from Pangu's spine, gathered seventy percent of Pangu's will.
The Primordial World contained twenty percent of Pangu's will, and only the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who worshipped Pangu, held one percent of Pangu's will.
Once the Buzhou Pillar collapsed, Pangu's will would almost cease to exist.
The Witch Clan, formed from Pangu's essence blood, carried one-tenth of the Heaven-Opening Destiny.
The Witch-Demon War triggered the Calamity's energy, continuously weakening the scattered Pangu's will in Heaven and Earth, and finally induced the Ancestral Witch Gonggong to angrily collide with Buzhou Mountain.
With immense Karmic Retribution, the Witch Clan's payment of one-tenth of their Heaven-Opening Destiny was not enough; they almost faced extinction.
Thus, the Buzhou Pillar collapsed, the Witch Clan was nearly annihilated, and Pangu's will no longer existed in Heaven and Earth.
The only two orthodox lineages of Pangu.
The Heaven-Opening Destiny of the Three Pure Ones, because they joined the Xuanmen, fulfilled Hongjun's Immortal Dao.
With the Witch Clan's near annihilation, Pangu's orthodox lineages were gone.
Then, with the combined forces of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, who in the Primordial World could escape their schemes?
