"Rumble!"
As Huang Tian pondered the Heavenly Dao's schemes, boundless Mysterious Yellow Qi suddenly gathered atop Buzhou Mountain, transforming into a vast Merit Golden Cloud. Ziwei Emperor Qi swirled around its edges, lending it an aura of supreme divinity and holiness.
Pangu Will still permeated Buzhou Mountain in abundance. When Great Dao Merit appeared, Tianji was obscured, and even the Heavenly Dao remained unaware.
In an instant, the vast Great Dao Merit passed unhindered through the mountain's peak and enveloped Huang Tian, who was inside the space at its waist.
"Hmm? Such an enormous amount of Great Dao Merit. This works too?"
Delighted, Huang Tian wasted no time. He brought out the Kongtong Seal and gathered all the Great Dao Merit into it.
Using Great Dao Merit to increase his cultivation would be a terrible waste.
The Creation Primordial Liquid before him could already rapidly improve his cultivation, so Huang Tian intended to save the Great Dao Merit for a more pressing need.
"I see."
After storing the Great Dao Merit in the Kongtong Seal, Huang Tian understood why he had received its blessing.
If Huang Tian hadn't discovered it, the God-Slaying Spear would have followed the Heavenly Dao's design and eroded Buzhou Mountain's origin until it was critically weakened.
That would have continued until Gonggong brought Buzhou Mountain crashing down.
This would have greatly harmed the development of the Prehistoric World.
By refining the God-Slaying Spear, Huang Tian had prevented it from further eroding Buzhou Mountain with its Law of Slaughter.
In the eyes of the Great Dao, Huang Tian had made a great contribution to the completion of the Prehistoric World. Naturally, it bestowed Great Dao Merit upon him.
Splash!
Without further hesitation, Huang Tian took off his animal hide and leaped into the pool of Creation Primordial Liquid, leaving only his head above the surface.
Calling it a pool of Creation Primordial Liquid was a simple, blunt description. In truth, it was Pangu's spinal fluid, containing the purest essence of life.
It even held a wisp of the God-Slaying Spear's Law of Slaughter and Law of Destruction.
This pool of Creation Primordial Liquid was incomparably beneficial for tempering the body.
"Ah, that feels good!"
The 129,600 pores all over his body opened wide, and Huang Tian cried out in delight.
The Creation Primordial Liquid turned into wisps of mist, brimming with vitality. It surged into Huang Tian's acupoints like a mighty river, flowing through every part of his body.
This wasn't merely a simple improvement to his physique. It was an elevation of the very essence of his life!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A wisp of the Law of Destruction and a wisp of the Law of Slaughter sliced through Huang Tian's body, only for the Creation Primordial Liquid to repair it again and again.
Huang Tian's body not only gained a degree of immunity to the Laws of Destruction and Slaughter, but also accelerated his comprehension of these two forces. His Nascent Soul and physical body grew stronger in tandem.
Gurgle, gurgle!
The pool of Creation Primordial Liquid boiled, transforming into Seven-Colored Rosy Clouds that were then tinged with the purest red.
Huang Tian's blood and qi flowed out from his spine, brimming with vitality. They shimmered in concert with the pure, flawless Creation Primordial Liquid.
Crack! Crackle!
A series of crisp cracks rang out, and Huang Tian smoothly broke through to the peak of Martial Emperor (Great Encompassment).
Yet the pool of Creation Primordial Liquid remained just as full as before.
"Too slow!"
"Faster! Faster!"
Unable to wait any longer, Huang Tian roused all 129,600 acupoints throughout his body, accelerating the absorption and refinement of the Creation Primordial Liquid.
Tiny whirlpools formed in each acupoint, and the pool visibly sank.
His essence, energy, and spirit improved further, merging as one!
His Martial Dao Dharma Image appeared, towering 1.296 billion zhang tall. His boundless blood and qi interwove with ethereal mist formed from the Creation Primordial Liquid.
More and more blood and qi poured from Huang Tian's spine, turning into crimson heavenly dragons that filled the entire inner space.
Pop!
A faint sound, like a bubble bursting, rang out. The Martial Dao Dharma Image grew larger still, reaching 1.29601 billion zhang.
Rumble!!
Having crossed the threshold, Huang Tian's blood and qi suddenly surged into a frenzy. A stream of purple Star Power descended, hazy and ethereal.
"Break!!"
With a fierce gaze, Huang Tian roared as his Martial Dao Domain unfolded and his divine sense spread outward.
The laws of heaven and earth, once obscure and difficult to understand, now lay crystal clear before him.
His physical body was rapidly growing stronger, and his Nascent Soul was rapidly comprehending the power of the laws.
Rumble!
Exotic flowers rained from the heavens, and Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth.
Outside Buzhou Mountain, all manner of astonishing phenomena began to appear.
Dragons and phoenixes cried in unison; the White Tiger roared, and the Black Tortoise murmured.
From the four corners of the world emerged the phantoms of the Four Sacred Beasts. They reached from heaven to earth and swept toward Buzhou Mountain.
Roar!
First came the Azure Dragon of Green Wood, its body radiating vigorous vitality. Wherever it passed, all things flourished.
Next came the White Tiger of Geng Metal, its body radiating sharp Geng Metal Qi. It cleaved heaven and earth into fragments.
Then came the Vermilion Bird of Li Fire, summoning countless fire-aligned birds in a grand spectacle of myriad birds paying homage.
Last came the Black Tortoise of Kui Water, massive as a mountain and blotting out the sky. Like the earth itself brought to life, it bore down upon all living beings.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty Zulong!"
"We pay our respects to Her Majesty Ancestor Phoenix!"
They had not appeared in the world for countless ages. Even their phantoms were enough to make the surviving members of the Dragon and Phoenix races weep with joy.
"What's going on?"
The Prehistoric World's most powerful Great Divine Powers were all alarmed. They used their abilities to divine the cause, yet learned nothing.
"Another anomaly? How could Tianji have grown so chaotic?"
Demon Emperor Dijun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Sanqing, Minghe, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were all shaken to their core, as if thorns pricked their backs.
They stood at the very pinnacle of all living beings in the present age. With no Sage in the world, each of them could be called invincible.
Yet even they couldn't divine what sort of upheaval had occurred.
They couldn't find even the slightest trace!
"An anomaly, another anomaly. It seems I must hurry with Dao Integration."
At Jade Capital Mountain, Hongjun's eyes opened and closed as he peered through the void, yet he found nothing as well.
He didn't mind. Hongjun knew that once Dao Integration succeeded, any variable would be swept away like a dead leaf before absolute power.
Meanwhile, within the space at Buzhou Mountain's waist,
Huang Tian's blood and qi turned into a sea of crimson, filling every corner of the inner space.
His body exuded a strange fragrance, his bones turned to glaze, and his flesh shimmered.
The golden blood within Huang Tian's body now contained even more purple.
"Break!"
"Draw!"
"Descend!"
Feeling the changes in his body, Huang Tian's eyes blazed. Without hesitation, he shouted out one command after another.
Huang Tian destroyed every bone and sinew in his body of his own accord, then brought out the Kongtong Seal and drew down boundless golden Human Race Destiny.
The golden Human Race Destiny intertwined with the Creation Primordial Liquid and flowed into Huang Tian's physical body, reforging the bones and sinews he had destroyed.
It even remade all the flesh on Huang Tian's body.
Buzz!
A faint sound came from within Huang Tian's body.
A spring appeared, releasing an endless stream of life essence that instantly filled every part of his body.
His flesh was dyed in seven colors by the life essence.
1.3 billion zhang!
Huang Tian's Martial Dao Dharma Image grew larger still, and his physical strength increased further. With the slightest movement, his blood and qi could become a crimson sea, instantly covering a territory trillions of li wide and binding everything within it.
"Limitless Martial Dao, all currents return to their source—merge as one!!"
Without hesitation, Huang Tian shouted.
He bore not only the vast Human Race Destiny, but also the boundless destiny of the Dao Ancestor of Martial Dao, the Martial Ancestor himself.
The two nearly inexhaustible forces of destiny collided, forming a Taiji diagram that was imprinted on Huang Tian's brow.
Daoist aura flowed, profound and boundless. The phantoms of myriad things appeared, and the sudden sound of flowing water rang out.
