"Thump, thump!"

"Even death cannot stop me!"

On Buzhou Mountain, Huang Tian climbed relentlessly from a height of four million zhang, his gaze resolute. Every step he took was firm and steady.

He did not rely on his qi and blood to weaken Pangu's Will, nor did he unleash the Kongtong Seal for protection.

Purely relying on the physical strength of a Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) in the early stage to directly resist Pangu's Will.

The higher he climbed, the more pressure Huang Tian's physically transformed body felt, a pressure unlike anything he had experienced before.

His muscles trembled, his bones creaked, his heart pounded violently, and the blood flow in his limbs and torso accelerated.

"So good!"

The Primordial Emperor Body began to unleash its power.

Compared to his previous Top-grade Innate Dao Body, Huang Tian's current advantage was not just his physical strength, but more terrifyingly, his adaptability.

Previously, it would take Huang Tian half a day to adapt to the increased pressure of Pangu's Will with each step.

Now, within a few breaths, Huang Tian's body adapted, allowing him to maintain a constant climbing speed.

However, the tempering effect of Pangu's Will on Huang Tian's physique did not diminish.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

At four and a half million zhang, each step Huang Tian took resounded like a muffled thunderclap.

His pure physical body had expanded to a colossal eight hundred and ten thousand zhang.

His qi and blood were contained within, and the sound of tigers and leopards roaring erupted from his bones, shaking the very soul.

"Hoo hoo!"

At four million nine hundred and ninety thousand zhang, Huang Tian stopped, panting heavily.

This was the extreme of a late-stage Immortal Dao Quasi-Saint, and also the physical limit of Huang Tian, an early-stage Martial Saint.

A vague sense of premonition.

Huang Tian knew that he had only climbed a little over sixty percent of Buzhou Mountain, with nearly forty percent remaining.

"Again!!"

Gritting his teeth, Huang Tian moved upwards with a speed akin to a crawling snail, taking the final step.

Five million zhang!

"Roar!"

A pillar of qi and blood, thirty billion zhang in size, surged from Huang Tian's spine, transforming into a colossal dragon that blotted out the sky and roared across the heavens.

"Rumble!"

The Heaven and Earth changed color, thunder roared, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi churned incessantly.

"Crack!"

"Hoo hoo!"

The void shattered, and the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, surging from the chaos, seized the opportunity to descend upon the Primordial World through the cracks.

Before he could react, the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, capable of causing the fall of a Da Luo, touched the edge of the thirty billion zhang crimson dragon and vanished without a sound.

Heavenly lightning ignited earthly fire, affecting an area spanning trillions of zhang centered around Buzhou Mountain.

Countless living beings prostrated themselves in fear. Even Hongjun in Jade Capital Mountain and Purple Cloud Palace was once again alarmed.

"How is this possible!"

"Essence, qi, and spirit are united, his physical body and Nascent Soul growing stronger in sync."

"Cultivating both internally and externally, his acquired advancements rival the innate foundations of top-tier primordial gods and demons."

"What kind of anomaly is this? Could it be those old fellows who were with me?"

Subconsciously using a fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation to divine, Hongjun was shocked.

"Impossible!"

"Sixty thousand years, from not even being a Human Immortal to breaking through to the Quasi-Saint early stage?"

"Are these Emperor Dao Laws? Governing myriad Laws?"

Shocked, Hongjun attempted to investigate further to identify this being, but a backlash swept through Jade Capital Mountain.

"Pfft!"

Even with the immediate activation of his Saint power and the fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation protecting him, Hongjun was still struck by the backlash, sustaining a minor injury.

"Pangu's Will is protecting him? It seems the anomaly originates from the Witch Clan."

"Hurry and Integrate with Dao. Those fellows from the Witch Clan are restless, and the Demon Clan alone is no match for them."

With a piercing gaze towards the endless abyss beside Buzhou Mountain, Hongjun took a deep breath, withdrew his gaze, and continued his closed-door cultivation to Integrate with Dao.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Now that he knows the variable comes from the Witch Clan, Hongjun has no more fears.

Buzhou Mountain.

Huang Tian didn't know he had been exposed, but not entirely.

Because Pangu Will's autonomous counterattack made Hongjun believe the variable didn't come from the Human Race, but from the Witch Clan.

"It's time to go."

Completely stabilizing his spirit, energy, and mind after breaking through to the early Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) stage, his Nascent Soul and physical body were equally powerful. Huang Tian didn't intend to linger any longer.

Continuing to climb upwards would require using the Martial Dao Dharma Image or the Kongtong Seal, which would be useless for body tempering and a waste of time.

With only twenty thousand years left until the Sage's Barrier on the Shore of the East Sea disappears, Huang Tian had to seize every second.

Using the Martial Dao Dharma Image to protect his body, Huang Tian instantly arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

"Should I leave it for the Human Race, or use it to repair you?"

Looking up at Buzhou Mountain, whose height was immeasurable, Huang Tian was conflicted.

Even if he took the God-Slaying Spear now, the corrupted origin of Buzhou Mountain could not be restored.

In the long run, it would only delay the collapse of Buzhou Mountain for some time.

In the final battle between the Witch and Demon clans, Gonggong would likely still be able to shatter Buzhou Mountain with a single headbutt, though his injuries would be more severe.

When Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the waters of the Heavenly River would pour in, endangering countless lives.

But if the Great Dao Merit within the Kongtong Seal were used to restore Buzhou Mountain's origin, perhaps it could save Buzhou Mountain from the calamity of the Witch-Demon war.

Was it worth sacrificing a Martial Saint of the Human Race for a chance for Buzhou Mountain?

"Simply protecting Buzhou Mountain might not be worth it."

"But, there might be a way to achieve both!"

"The reason Hongjun is getting stronger and stronger, even able to plunder the Heaven-Opening Destiny of the Three Pure Ones, is because Hongjun's Immortal Dao permeates the Primordial World, isn't it?"

"Every being who cultivates Hongjun's Immortal Dao is essentially paving the way for Hongjun."

"What if I could attract some beings who cultivate Hongjun's Immortal Dao, and some who don't, to cultivate the Human Race's Martial Dao?"

"The conventional method of spreading the Dao would definitely not shake the foundation of Hongjun's Immortal Dao."

"I am merely in the early stage of Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint). Even if I can fight against the peak Quasi-Saint, I don't have the same appeal as a Saint."

"But Buzhou Heavenly Pillar is a majestic existence that all beings in the Primordial World worship."

"If I leave the Martial Dao inheritance on Buzhou Mountain, and the Heaven and Earth phenomenon caused by repairing it attracts countless beings."

"Furthermore, further repairing the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar might allow me to gain Great Dao Merit again."

"In other words, even if it fails, the greatest loss would merely be the Great Dao Merit that could create an early-stage Martial Saint."

"But if it succeeds, it would be a terrifying Destiny that could support two or three Human Ancestors (Saints)."

"The only problem is that it would completely offend Hongjun."

"But, so what?"

"Hongjun will not give up scheming against the Human Race; a confrontation is inevitable sooner or later."

"And, there is only so much Destiny in the countless beings of Heaven and Earth."

"The more beings cultivate the Martial Dao, the fewer beings will cultivate the Immortal Dao."

"As one increases and the other decreases, the Ancestor of the Martial Dao might not fear the Ancestor of the Immortal Dao!"

Frowning as he stared at Buzhou Mountain, contemplating for a hundred years, Huang Tian understood. A hint of joy couldn't help but appear on his lips!

With this thought, Huang Tian no longer hesitated. He took out the Kongtong Seal.

Golden light scattered across Heaven and Earth, and a long spear, imbued with a violent black and red aura, landed in Huang Tian's palm.

"Chih! Chih! Chih!"

The God-Slaying Spear autonomously circulated terrifying laws of slaughter and destruction, but it couldn't harm Huang Tian's early-stage Martial Saint (Quasi-Saint) physical body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Huang Tian wielded the God-Slaying Spear and fiercely struck Buzhou Mountain, forcefully cutting off twelve enormous rectangular stone tablets.

Each was 129,600 zhang tall, corresponding to the innate number.

"Buzz!"

The void vibrated with immortality. The Kongtong Seal materialized the Human Race Myriad Forms Diagram, and the golden Human Race Destiny in Heaven and Earth became even more majestic.

Under the shroud of golden light, thick Great Dao Merit appeared.

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi boiled, and wisps of Purple Qi came from the east, intertwining with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, creating a dreamlike illusion.

"By the name of my Martial Ancestor, I decree!!"

"Merge!"

His gaze sharp, he roared. The Great Dao Merit before Huang Tian radiated an extremely brilliant golden light.

At the same time, the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar began to tremble violently.

Pangu Will suddenly surged, wild and unparalleled, descending upon Huang Tian.
