The Primordial Two Forms Array, the Supreme Treasure God-Slaying Spear, the Heavenly Dao's Schemes!
"With my name, Kongtong Seal, break!"
Without hesitation, Huang Tian poured out streams of blood essence, empowering the Kongtong Seal. Boundless golden destiny cascaded from it, drawing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into a wild surge as it steadily seeped into the innate grand formation before him.
It had taken Huang Tian a full ten thousand years just to understand what this formation was.
It ranked among the Ten Great Formations of Creation—the Taichu Liangyi Array—and possessed no offensive power.
Its range stretched 1,296,000,000 li, matching the innate number.
Anyone who rashly entered it and failed to find and destroy its eye would be trapped until death, even if they were a Quasi saint.
"A precious treasure guarded by one of the Ten Great Formations of Creation. What kind of fortune could it possibly be?"
The harder the formation was to break, the more Huang Tian looked forward to what lay within.
After all, 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 tied to the Human Race's destiny.
It was one thing to bully the weak, but Huang Tian didn't dare bring out the Kongtong Seal when fighting a top-tier powerhouse.
If the Kongtong Seal were damaged, the Human Race's destiny would plummet, and surviving the Great Calamity of Lich would become difficult.
The Earth Spirit Pearl was of no low rank. It was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, but purely defensive.
What Huang Tian needed now was an Innate Spiritual Treasure with enough offensive power—and the higher its rank, the better.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
With that thought, Huang Tian increased the flow of blood essence, further empowering the Kongtong Seal as he continued to unravel the Taichu Liangyi Array.
The Kongtong Seal reflected the Human Race Myriad Manifestations Diagram. Heaven and earth changed color, all things blending in perfect harmony as it emanated waves of profound, mysterious energy.
Its golden light grew ever more dazzling, while the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi it drew in flowed without end.
After ten thousand years of effort, most of the Taichu Liangyi Array had been broken, but its most crucial core remained.
"Phew!"
"I spent twenty thousand years breaking through the outer formation, then another hundred thousand on its core. No wonder it's one of the Ten Great Formations of Creation!"
Letting out a long breath, Huang Tian couldn't help exclaiming in delight.
Beyond the thrill of breaking the formation, what pleased Huang Tian even more was that the Kongtong Seal had recorded every detail of the Taichu Liangyi Array.
That meant that, with enough formation materials, Huang Tian could set up the Taichu Liangyi Array anywhere.
It was a top-tier formation capable of trapping Quasi-saint powers—a powerful new trump card for the Human Race!
"Step!"
Putting away the Kongtong Seal, Huang Tian fixed his eyes ahead and strode decisively into the layers of Immortal Mist.
"Rumble!"
Buzhou Mountain trembled. Heaven and earth changed color, and countless fissures split open across the sky.
Nine Heavens Gang Wind streamed through the cracks.
The Nine Heavens Gang Wind could kill a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, yet when it struck Huang Tian's body, it left nothing more than faint white marks.
"Hiss!"
Completely disregarding the raging Nine Heavens Gang Wind, Huang Tian entered a cavern. It held a world within, and he couldn't help being astonished.
As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were filled with naturally formed, wondrous Dao patterns.
The most striking sight was a circular pool at the heart of the inner world.
Milky-white mist rose from it, while Seven-Colored Rosy Cloud bloomed along its edges. An overwhelming aura of creation washed over him.
With every breath, even Huang Tian, a late-stage Martial Emperor (Grand Luo), could feel his cultivation improving before his very eyes.
"Splash!"
Suddenly, the Creation Primordial Liquid filling the pool began to boil.
The Creation Primordial Liquid, which should have been pure and sacred, had somehow taken on a sinister black-and-red hue.
"What is this?"
When he saw the object that had triggered the change, Huang Tian's expression shifted.
It was pitch-black from end to end, wrapped in an undying, blood-red baleful aura. The space around it warped, shattered, and then restored itself again and again.
"The Innate Supreme Treasure, God-Slaying Spear?"
When Great God Pangu created heaven and earth, the Chaos Green Lotus couldn't withstand the pressure of creation and fell apart. Its petals became the Innate Five Elements Flags, its seeds became the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform, and its stem and roots sank into the deepest reaches of chaos.
The roots absorbed the resentment and souls of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods as they perished, along with the ultimate killing energy released during creation. They transformed into an innate fiendish weapon imbued with the Great Dao of Slaughter.
It specialized in breaking Nascent Souls, ignored defenses, and was famed as the "God-Slaying" Spear. Even Sages feared it.
"Whoosh!"
The God-Slaying Spear trembled violently, then shot out of the Creation Pool and hurtled toward Huang Tian with killing intent.
Its terrifying laws of slaughter crashed into Huang Tian. They didn't merely injure his body—they also relentlessly eroded his Nascent Soul.
"Suppress!"
The Kongtong Seal protected its master, radiating brilliant golden light. In an instant, it suppressed the God-Slaying Spear, leaving it unable to move.
Huang Tian seized the opportunity to channel his blood essence into the spear and refine one of its restrictions.
"Buzz."
The golden light faded, and the Kongtong Seal returned to the space between Huang Tian's brows.
The God-Slaying Spear, wrapped in black-and-red energy, landed in Huang Tian's palm.
Although Huang Tian had already refined one of its restrictions, the spear could still tear open his palm unless he wrapped his hand in blood essence.
"Just as expected of the purest treasure of slaughter."
"It's a pity that it was once bonded to the Ferocious Beast Emperor, Beast Emperor Shen Ni. It was damaged during the Ferocious Beast Tribulation, and its rank fell to top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
Looking at the God-Slaying Spear in his palm, Huang Tian wore a regretful expression.
At its peak, the God-Slaying Spear had been an Innate Supreme Treasure, its offensive power rivaling the Pangu Banner.
Combined with its laws of slaughter, its destructive power had theoretically been the greatest among all Innate Supreme Treasures.
But its rank had fallen. As a mere top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was naturally easy for the Innate Merit Supreme Treasure, the Kongtong Seal, to suppress.
"Even so, a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure is no small thing. The God-Slaying Spear couldn't have been left unwanted. Why was it in a cave halfway up Buzhou Mountain?"
Frowning, Huang Tian fell into thought.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Huang Tian noticed that the place where the God-Slaying Spear had originally rested was covered in fine cracks, despite being as sturdy as Buzhou Mountain itself.
"Another scheme by the Heavenly Dao?"
Remembering the naturally formed Dao patterns that shouldn't have been there, Huang Tian understood!
The Heavenly Dao had seized the God-Slaying Spear and deliberately placed it halfway up Buzhou Mountain.
With its pure laws of slaughter, the spear had been subtly and continuously eroding Buzhou Mountain's origin.
The weaker Buzhou Mountain's origin became, the less of Pangu's Will it could bear.
Once Pangu's Will faded, Buzhou Mountain would be solid in appearance alone.
No wonder Gonggong, who was only a Quasi-saint, had managed to smash into Buzhou Mountain and break it.
"What a Sentient Heavenly Dao. It went to such lengths to take over the nest!"
Huang Tian's gaze was sharp, his expression ice-cold.
The Primordial World had been created by Great God Pangu. Thus, Pangu's Will was the highest will in the Primordial World.
At first, the Great Dao had governed as its proxy, and the Primordial World had entered a period of orderly development, protected by Pangu's Will.
As Tribulations continued to occur, Pangu's Will weakened. So, as a protective mechanism, the Heavenly Dao was brought forth to replace the Great Dao, help Pangu's Will govern the order of the Primordial World, and keep it running.
But the Heavenly Dao had absorbed the thoughts of all living beings and sought to rise above Pangu's Will, claiming the Primordial World entirely for itself.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao had to eliminate Pangu's Will before it could take over the nest.
And the Buzhou Pillar had been formed from Pangu's Spine, gathering seventy percent of Pangu's Will.
The Primordial World itself contained twenty percent of Pangu's Will, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who worshipped only Pangu, contained the remaining ten percent.
Once the Buzhou Pillar collapsed, almost none of Pangu's Will would remain.
The Witch Clan had also been formed from Pangu Blood Essence, and bore ten percent of the Heaven-Opening Destiny.
The Witch-Demon War triggered Tribulation energy, continuously weakening the Pangu's Will scattered throughout the world, until the Heavenly Dao finally manipulated the Ancestral Witch Gonggong into ramming into Buzhou Mountain in a fit of rage.
The enormous Karmic Retribution wasn't enough to make the Witch Clan pay for the ten percent of Heaven-Opening Destiny it had forfeited. It had nearly been wiped out entirely.
Thus, the Buzhou Pillar collapsed, the Witch Clan was nearly annihilated, and not a trace of Pangu's Will remained in the world.
The only two branches of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage—
The Three Purities had their Heaven-Opening Destiny, but by joining Xuanmen, they had fulfilled Hongjun's Immortal Dao.
With the Witch Clan also wiped out, none of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage would remain.
If the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun joined forces, then who in the entire Primordial World could escape their schemes?
