In the Eye of Chaos, Donghua unleashed his full power. The Dragon Head Golden Staff transformed into a Golden Dragon that coiled around his body, while the Kongtong Seal appeared above his head, transforming into a black Daoist crown.

The Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form appeared behind him, surrounded by the Three Thousand Great Daos. The Heavenly Emperor's True Body was fully activated, and the True Body Power suppressed the chaos, causing ripples. It could be said that he was going all out.

Faced with attacks from tens of thousands of chaotic energy clouds, Donghua and Nuwa retreated instead of advancing, choosing a single direction and moving forward, dodging all attacks they could.

Some attacks that couldn't be avoided had to be met with direct confrontation. The two joined forces, with Nuwa leading the attack and Donghua assisting from the side. They used the unique properties of the Three Thousand Great Daos to restrain some of the chaotic energy clusters.

Although it was their first time working together, the two showed great synergy in both offense and defense, dodging layers of chaotic energy along the way.

Just as they were about to break through the center of the Eye of Chaos, these chaotic energy clusters seemed to possess sentience, beginning to converge and merge with each other, devouring one another.

In an instant, tens of thousands of chaotic energy clusters transformed into nine giant black-gray eyes, completely surrounding the two of them.

As Donghua sensed the nine terrifying giant eyes, he felt that he was going to die here today. This was definitely not something he could handle, because its cultivation level had definitely surpassed the Hunyuan Triple Heaven.

Nine gigantic eyes, like black holes in the universe, stood around, their terrifying aura locking onto Donghua and Nuwa, intent on devouring all invading enemies, and launched an attack in an instant.

The giant eye emitted nine beams of light, devouring everything in its path. Nuwa exerted all her strength to unleash a slash, but it could not affect the light in the slightest.

The blade's light was instantly devoured, and then it came straight at Nuwa. If it weren't for the protection of the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus, Nuwa would have already lost her life here.

Upon seeing this, Donghua immediately manipulated the white lotus to roam freely, dodging various attacks.

The only thing to celebrate now is that these giant eyes' attacks are not targeted; they seem to be programmed and can be dodged. If they were truly humanoid, Donghua would have already released his Hongjun incarnation and started to flee for his life.

The two hid here and there, but soon they discovered that the nine giant eyes were slowly closing in on each other, which meant that Donghua's escape space was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the timing was not right, Donghua immediately mobilized the Heavenly Dao Power, with the supreme treasure Heavenly Emperor Sword by his side, and unleashed a terrifying sword aura, slashing towards the giant eye.

Nuwa did the same; the two joined forces to attack the giant eye, their swords and blades working in perfect harmony, and they were invincible, finally breaking through an opening.

The two immediately leaped out, charging forward without regard for direction, focused solely on escaping for their lives.

The nine giant eyes behind them seemed to sense something and immediately chased after Donghua and Nuwa, even more frantically than before. During the chase, they absorbed the surrounding Chaos Qi to strengthen themselves.

"Senior sister, no, we're running in the wrong direction. This direction is only making these giant eyes even more frantic. There must be something incredible ahead."

Nuwa also sensed something was wrong. As the two moved forward, the giant eyes became even more frantic, as if they were afraid that the two would intrude into this place.

"Never mind that now, run for your lives!"

As soon as the words fell, Nuwa frantically urged the white lotus, and Donghua did the same. The white lotus instantly transformed into a beam of white light, passing through the Eye of Chaos and instantly shaking off the giant eye behind them!

Donghua and Nuwa didn't know how long or how far they had traveled, until at some point they stopped and looked around.

Nuwa took out Willow Branch to determine the direction, and only then did she realize that the two had run in the wrong direction.

"Never mind all that for now, escaping is the priority!" Donghua couldn't possibly care about the new world right now; he was already grateful to be alive. Those giant eyes were becoming increasingly terrifying, and even with the Heavenly Dao Power, he was gradually becoming unable to resist them.

After traveling a while longer, a small world suddenly appeared before them, filled with purple and Chaos Qi.

"That's Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi?" Donghua exclaimed in surprise, finding it hard to believe.

Even Nuwa, standing to the side, looked incredulous, followed by a greedy glint in her eyes.

This is Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi!

Both of them had witnessed the Innate Purple Qi; it was something indispensable for nurturing Innate Deities like themselves, and also a manifestation of the Great Dao Power.

The Chaos Source Qi exists only in legends. It is said that after Pangu, the Sky-Opening Divine Axe, and the Chaos Green Lotus were born from the Great Dao, they were nurtured in the Chaos Source Qi in order to become the Great Dao with a spirit.

"Senior sister, it seems we've stumbled into an extraordinary place. I reckon those Eye of Chaos and the giant eyes chasing us are guarding this small world."

"I think so too, but I don't know what secrets this little world holds that would allow such a terrifying creature to guard it!" Nuwa's expression was grave, and the greed in her eyes had vanished completely.

But it makes sense, since both of them have already severed their three corpses, how could they be controlled by evil thoughts?

Donghua activated the Emperor's Path, with the Three Thousand Great Daos surrounding him. The Paths of Time and Space traversed the chaos, directly arriving at the small world, and his pair of Dharma Eye instantly perceived the world.

However, the previously unobstructed Dharma Eye could only see a thousand miles in this small world, which was truly unbelievable. Donghua once again mobilized the Heavenly Dao Power to enhance the Dharma Eye, and the visible range instantly expanded to 100,000 miles.

This also means that the Hunyuan Triple Heaven can only see a distance of 100,000 li (approximately 50,000 kilometers) from this world?

Nuwa was the same; her pair of purple Creation Divine Eye, were always watching the world.

Until a certain moment, their gazes both stopped at the center of the small world, where a towering mountain stood between heaven and earth, the place where the Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi were strongest.

The two looked up at the mountaintop, where it was filled with the power of the Great Dao Law and Great Dao Rules; looking at it was like seeing the Great Dao itself!

At the center of the Great Dao Law and rules, a Purple Jade Coffin stands there, bathed in the Great Dao and absorbing the Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi between heaven and earth.

Donghua swallowed unconsciously; the scene was truly shocking.

"The Father God Pangu back then was probably just like this!"

Just as the two were in shock, nine terrifying auras came from behind them; the giant eyes had caught up with them.

"What should we do?" Nuwa asked in a deep voice, a hint of panic creeping into her voice.

Donghua rolled his eyes. Now he's scared? Where was he before? But this isn't the time to worry about that.

The reality facing the two was simple: moving forward meant certain death, and retreating also meant certain death.

What was gestating inside that jade coffin was far more terrifying than the giant eye behind them. If the two of them went in, they would definitely not come out alive; the most likely outcome would be that they would become nourishment for the jade coffin.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, this Eye of Chaos seems to possess sentience. We cannot attack it by force; we can only outsmart it. If the Heavenly Dao Power is exhausted here, we will have no way to reach that other world!"

Donghua Scripture discovered that the Eye of Chaos truly possessed sentience; otherwise, it wouldn't have targeted them so aggressively. He simply didn't know how it had developed sentience.

"Then what should we do?" Nuwa asked in a deep voice. At this moment, she also regretted entering this eye. The terror and danger of the Eye of Chaos had exceeded her expectations. There was a real danger of death. The main problem was the unknown. Moving forward or backward was an unknown danger.

In fact, Donghua had a plan in mind, but he didn't know if it would work. However, things had come to this point, and he had to try it regardless of whether it would work or not.

If it's useful, great. If not, use the Heavenly Dao Power to fight your way out. If you can't win, just return to the Primordial Wilderness. You won't go to the New World. It's not a big deal.

"In this chaos, who do you think is the most useful?" Donghua didn't give an answer, but instead asked Nuwa was standing to the side.

Nuwa replied without hesitation, "It is naturally the Great Dao!"

But as soon as he got to this point, as if he had realized something, he immediately said, "You mean Father God Pangu?"

Donghua nodded and said, "That's right. I'm not afraid that this thing has intelligence, but I'm afraid it's a mindless thing. Judging from its attack methods, its intelligence can't be that high. We might as well give it a try!"

The Great Dao is like the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, and Pangu is like Hongjun, the Primordial Wilderness. In the Primordial Wilderness, who did not fear Hongjun?

These giant eyes happen to have low intelligence, so they might be able to fool them for a while. If things don't work out, they'll have to use the Heavenly Dao Power or the incarnation of Hongjun to escape.

Nuwa looked at the nine terrifying giant eyes around her and said, "Alright, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll use the Heavenly Dao Power to fight our way out, and then we'll devise a plan!"

After things were settled, the two acted together, but by then the nine giant eyes had caught up.

Donghua took out twelve drops of blood, which were left behind by the Twelve Ancestor Witches during the great battle at the Purple Mansion. It can't really be called left behind, because these were Donghua's spoils of war; he had collected a lot of them back then.

Moreover, there was also the blood of demons Di Jun and Taiyi. Although there was relatively little essence blood and Dao blood, some of it was still found.

And if one wants to simulate the aura of Pangu, the blood of the Twelve Ancestor Witches is the most suitable. Whose blood could surpass that of the Ancestor Witch?

Donghua leaped into the air, and a long river appeared—the River of Fortune. Then, the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared simultaneously, and the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form gradually emerged.

However, this time the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form did not present the image of Donghua, but rather the original image of Pangu, in human form.

However, this only represents the form of Pangu, not the god Pangu!

Donghua then refined twelve drops of Ancestor Witch Blood Essence, merging them into the Great Dao and converging them upon the Pangu Dharma Form.

The Five Directional Banners of Heaven and Earth appeared in his hand, which, together with the Dragon Head Golden Staff, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and the Kongtong Seal, transformed into the Heaven-Opening Axe.

An ancient and majestic figure appeared, its body reaching a height of 108,000 miles, wielding the Sky-Opening Divine Axe, and a violent aura of the Great Dao permeated the Eye of Chaos.

Donghua, in his true form, controlled the Pure World White Lotus, and together with Nuwa, they entered the shadow and jointly controlled the shadow of Pangu.

The moment Pangu's figure appeared in the Eye of Chaos, the nine giant eyes were overwhelmed by his aura as if they had encountered a natural enemy. They dared not step forward or launch an attack, as if they were wary and afraid of something.

"It works!"

Upon seeing this, Donghua was overjoyed and immediately mobilized a wisp of Heavenly Dao Power to activate the Pangu Dharma Form, focusing it into his eyes.

A beam of light suddenly emanated from its eyes, sweeping across the area. Just as the light shone on one of the giant eyes, the giant eye immediately dispersed, transforming into thousands of beams of light.

The giant eye's retreat completely broke the encirclement, creating a path for Donghua and Nuwa.

The two simultaneously activated Pangu's form and immediately flew towards that direction.

Just before they fled, as if by telepathy, they launched an attack together and entered the small world ahead, instantly absorbing a large amount of Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi.

Then, instantly burning his magic power, Pangu's figure burst out of the encirclement like a beam of light, running non-stop all the way.

After a moment's hesitation, the eight giant eyes behind them seemed to understand something, or perhaps they had received an order, and began to chase after them again.

Ignoring everything else, Donghua and Nuwa unleashed their magical power with reckless abandon. Pangu's figure was also abandoned, and they both rode the Pure World White Lotus, rushing forward.

Both of them understood that if they couldn't escape this time, they would never have another chance.

Their actions just before leaving had already alarmed the jade coffin in the small world. Although they didn't know what was inside, it was definitely terrifying. They estimated that even Hongjun's incarnation couldn't protect the two of them.

The two burned their magic power and moved forward, instantly crossing the central area and once again leaving the giant eye behind them.

However, the two did not stop and continued to fly forward desperately until they reached the edge of the Eye of Chaos, where they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Donghua paused for a moment, then flew out of the Eye of Chaos and returned to the chaos once more.

Now it's truly safe!

Donghua opened his arms and absorbed the Chaos Qi. He felt himself come back to life. The Chaos Qi, which he had previously thought was violent, had never been so docile as it was at this moment.

However, compared to the Chaos Qi within the Eye of Chaos, the chaos outside is simply paradise!

Just after Donghua and Nuwa escaped, the eight giant eyes of chaos also chased them to the edge of the area. After exchanging glances, they dispersed.

It transformed into countless orbs of light and continued to wander in the central area, seemingly aimlessly, but as if it were guarding something.

In a chaotic place, Donghua sat on a lotus platform, absorbing Chaos Qi and transforming it into pure Innate Spiritual Qi to replenish his previous consumption.

Nuwa, too, sat atop the Map of Mountains and Rivers, doing the same thing.

At one point, Nuwa awoke from her recovery. Just as she was about to get up, she found herself suppressed by a powerful Great Dao Power, and then an ancient sword was pointed at her.

"Nuwa, this is Chaos, not the Primordial Wilderness. If you dare to act without authorization again, I will kill you!"

Once outside, Donghua could no longer contain his anger. If it weren't for that woman acting on her own, he wouldn't have encountered such danger.

This was the most dangerous situation he had encountered since his rebirth, bar none; even the crisis at the Purple Mansion back then was no more than this.

"Good!"

Nuwa seemed to be in the wrong, so she didn't say much or defend herself.

Donghua's expression softened somewhat, but he still didn't retract his sword. He said coldly, "Hand over the Willow Branch. This time, all you need to do is listen to me."

Nuwa didn't hesitate and immediately offered the Willow Branch, then said, "Junior brother, is this alright? Have you calmed down?"

Donghua remained silent, took the Willow Branch, and put away the Heavenly Emperor Sword and the Pure World White Lotus.

"Junior brother, don't be angry. Although this time was full of danger, we also gained a lot."

As Nuwa finished speaking, she took out the portion of Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi she had absorbed and laughed happily.

Donghua felt a bit better after sensing the purple aura and primal energy within his Inner World; otherwise, he would have truly suffered a huge loss this time.

"With this Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi, given enough time, we can definitely cultivate to the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm," Nuwa said excitedly.

The Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi can not only enhance magical power, aptitude, and physical condition, but most importantly, they can connect with the Great Dao, thereby refining one's own Great Dao. This is an immense opportunity for opening up new paths in the future.

Donghua also laughed out loud. Although this time was dangerous, the gains were truly enormous, which is why he didn't hold Nuwa's actions against him.

It truly is a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined!

"What do you think is being nurtured inside that jade coffin?" Donghua stopped focusing on the harvest and instead asked this question, which was something he really wanted to know.

Nuwa thought for a moment and said, "Do you think there might be a being like the Father God Pangu conceiving inside, an embodiment of the Great Dao, preparing for the creation of the world?"

Donghua shook his head and said, "Impossible. What's inside is definitely not the tangible Dao. I'm absolutely certain of that!"

He had considered this possibility, but felt it was impossible. After all, although that small world seemed upright and righteous, the Eye of Chaos that existed within it was too strange, completely lacking the light and majesty of the Great Dao.

Most importantly, those giant eyes were afraid of Pangu, and they seemed to be protecting that world. This also means that what was in the jade coffin was afraid of Pangu, or rather, afraid of the Great Dao!

Nuwa thought about it for a moment and dismissed her own idea. After all, the possibility was indeed very small. How could that jade coffin compare to the Chaos Green Lotus?

But apart from that, she really couldn't imagine what kind of being could have been born in that environment; it was truly unbelievable.

Donghua stopped thinking about it and used the Heavenly Emperor Sword to leave a mark here. He would definitely come back here when his cultivation level was higher, since it was full of opportunities and his future path might depend on this place.

Nuwa smiled at Donghua's actions but said nothing, for she had also left the same mark.

Although this place is full of dangers, the opportunities in that other world are obvious to anyone with discerning eyes, and no one wants to miss them.

"Junior brother, next time you come, be sure to call your senior sister. We can work together!"

Donghua said nonchalantly, "No problem, I'll definitely call Senior Sister. But when Senior Sister comes again, don't forget me."

The two exchanged a knowing smile, each harboring their own secrets.

Donghua took out Willow Branch, determined the direction, and the two of them traveled together, flying towards that world.

The two flew for an unknown amount of time, encountering some dangers along the way, but they easily overcame them all. Finally, they arrived at that world. In the distance, a vast world stood amidst the chaos, filled with the Heavenly Dao Power.

The Willow Branch swayed as if something in the world was calling to them.
