Pangu Hall.
Dijiang's gaze was extremely calm as he looked at East King Duke, yet a storm raged within his heart.
If East King Duke could agree to his terms, the Wu Race would gain an additional Pangu Primordial Spirit and two drops of Pangu's Blood Essence, thereby creating one Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin and two Ancestral Witches!
"This Emperor agrees to Daoist Dijiang's terms. Here is one Pangu Primordial Spirit and two drops of Pangu's Blood Essence!"
"Exchanging Pangu Hall for a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin—this deal is not a loss for the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"
East King Duke spoke slowly, sending a surge of magical power into the Void.
In an instant, boundless Pangu pressure swept forth. The entire Pangu Hall seemed to tremble. The Pangu Primordial Spirit manifested as a phantom of the Great God Pangu, while the two drops of Pangu's Blood Essence radiated supreme anomalies.
For a moment, the Twelve Ancestral Witches prostrated themselves in worship, their faces brimming with excited smiles.
"Daoist East King Duke, from now on you are an ally of my Wu Race—Live and Die Together, mutual protection. If I, Dijiang, ever violate this oath, may I face endless calamity!"
"This Pangu Hall is yours to refine as you wish. And this Blood Pool within the hall—you may temper your body within it and comprehend the Law of Strength!"
Dijiang put away the Pangu Primordial Spirit and Pangu's Blood Essence, then spoke solemnly to East King Duke.
Hearing this, the latter merely curled the corner of his mouth.
Little did they know, the Twelve Ancestral Witches had long been marked by East King Duke, who intended to bring them under his command in the future.
After a moment, East King Duke walked into the Blood Pool and sat cross-legged within it. Waves of blood and sha energy spread out, surging toward his meridians and flesh.
Yet the effect was negligible.
Over countless years, the Wu Race had been created by the Ancestral Witches from the Blood Pool, consuming immense blood essence. The Blood Pool was now useless to a great power like East King Duke.
"Pangu's Blood Essence, reverse the flow of creation!"
"Pangu Hall, transform into a Dao Heart!"
His voice was deep, the Law of Strength supreme and absolute. East King Duke murmured a few incantations, lightly waving his jade sleeve. Twenty-eight drops of Pangu's Blood Essence merged into the Blood Pool.
In an instant, the entire Pangu Hall turned into a sea of blood. The Twelve Ancestral Witches swayed unsteadily under the Pangu pressure. Even with their Ancestral Witch True Bodies, they could not withstand the Chaotic Sha Qi within Pangu's Blood Essence.
"Three Lights Divine Water, manifest Life Force!"
Rustle rustle!
At the zenith of the heavens, the Three Lights Divine Water, carrying boundless life-creating power, merged with Pangu's Blood Essence. Then, a vast Life Force gradually began to sprout.
Inside the hall, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were utterly stunned.
"Big Brother, it seems you asked for too little. Two drops of Pangu's Blood Essence are nothing to Daoist East King Duke. And now, he seems to want to revert Pangu Hall back into the Pangu Heart!"
"If he truly succeeds, then Daoist East King Duke's body will far surpass the Ancestral Witch True Body, possessing the power to be immune to all laws and indestructible through all calamities!"
Zhu Jiuyin's eyes flickered with the Time Law. He drew a sharp breath, unable to suppress his envy of East King Duke's supreme fortune.
Thirty drops of Pangu's Blood Essence—that could create thirty Ancestral Witches!
And now, East King Duke had merged them all into Pangu Hall. It seemed like a terrible waste!
"We must retreat quickly! If this Pangu Hall reverts to the Pangu Heart, we, who were born from Pangu's Blood Essence, will inevitably be assimilated by the Pangu Heart and become its blood!"
"Withdraw from Pangu Hall and wait for Daoist East King Duke!"
Dijiang suddenly shouted, realizing the gravity of the situation.
The Pangu pressure was intensifying, and the Chaotic Sha Qi grew denser. The Twelve Ancestral Witches could not withstand that corrosive force and had to retreat billions of miles away.
Before long, only East King Duke remained in Pangu Hall.
The Blood Energy grew thick, and an ancient, desolate aura gradually awakened. For billions of miles around Pangu Hall, everything was wrapped in Heaven and Earth Sha Qi, devouring all energy.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Dull, pounding sounds struck directly at the wounded hearts of the Primordial Wilderness. The supreme Great Dao of Strength awakened from Pangu Hall, as if the highest Great God Pangu from the Chaos era was about to reappear in the world.
"Reverse Life Force for This Emperor, revert creation!"
"Law of Strength, manifest!"
East King Duke sat cross-legged in the Blood Pool, channeling all his magical power. The Law of Strength resonated with the heartbeat of Pangu Hall, gradually driving its transformation.
Soon!
A blood-red heart appeared deep within Buzhou Mountain, tens of billions of zhang in size. Its surface was covered in veins, and torrents of blood gushed forth.
"So this is the Pangu Heart?"
"This Emperor perceives the supreme Great Dao of Strength within it. If I refine it into my Dao Heart, I can transform the Law of Strength, and from then on, advancing the Law of Strength will be far easier!"
"But I must first gain the recognition of the Pangu Heart—or rather, the approval of the Great God Pangu himself—before this Pangu Heart can truly belong to me!"
As East King Duke murmured to himself, his entire being wandered through the Great Void, his consciousness sinking into the Chaos Starry Sky. Behind the Chaotic Sha Qi, a figure gradually took shape.
Several zhang tall, with a towering physique, his face hidden within mist. Only the phantom of the Pangu Axe in his hand could confirm his identity as the Great God Pangu.
"A Remnant Soul—but one worthy of This Emperor's attention!"
"Primordial Measure Ruler! Three Forms of Strength, First Form—Chaos Opens!"
East King Duke's mind stirred slightly. The Purple-Gold colored mysterious ruler erupted with terrifying power. The entire world plunged into darkness in that moment, with only him radiating Purple-Gold divine light, the sovereign of the three thousand universes.
The Three Forms of Strength were comprehended by East King Duke from the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, capable of unleashing the true power of the Law of Strength.
Booming echoes resounded, spreading far and wide.
Seeing East King Duke execute the first form, Chaos Opens, Great God Pangu likewise swung the Pangu Axe, an identical divine ability erupting and colliding with the Primordial Measure Ruler.
As their spirits roamed the Void, the two unleashed world-destroying techniques.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out as East King Duke's figure retreated billions of miles. A hint of wariness flickered in his eyes, while an endless battle intent surged forth, pointing straight at Great God Pangu!
"Not bad, you have one-tenth of my might!"
"The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique has not been tarnished in your hands. Since that's the case, let me show you what the true Great Dao of Strength really is!"
From within the mist, Great God Pangu suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, East King Duke was stunned.
"You can talk?"
At this, Great God Pangu nodded slightly, gathering the supreme Law of Strength. The Pangu Axe gleamed with unmatched cold light, as the boundless cosmos was crushed by overwhelming force.
"The Three Forms of Strength: Chaos Opens, World Creation, Slay Gods and Destroy Worlds!"
"But know this—the Great Dao of Strength has a fourth form, named Dao Falls into Samsara!"
"When this strike is unleashed, chaos, the cosmos, and even the void of the Great Dao shall all fall. The entire Chaos World will re-enter Epoch Samsara. This technique has transcended time and life itself. Comprehend it well!"
Great God Pangu spoke slowly, as the Law of Strength around him directly sublimated and transformed into the true Great Dao of Strength, radiating an ancient aura.
In a daze, East King Duke felt it was an extremely ordinary technique.
But it was extraordinarily fast!
From around Great God Pangu, everything—whether Chaos Sha Qi, the vast starry sky, the rules of the Great Dao, or the three thousand realms—all turned into his power.
The Pangu Axe slowly swung out!
"Dao Falls into Samsara—This Emperor likes it!"
"But my strength is far from limited to this. Law of Strength, Yin-Yang Taiji, Vast Immortal Dao—aid me in facing the enemy!"
"Kill!"
Putting away the Primordial Measure Ruler, East King Duke's expression turned grave as he offered up all his means.
The Law of Strength evolved into the vision of World Creation, the Yin-Yang Law transformed into a Taiji held in his hands, and the Vast Immortal Dao shielded his body, emitting profoundly deep energy.
At this moment, East King Duke had unleashed his full combat power. His strength surpassed the shackles of his realm, directly touching the Sage Realm!
Within the Void Chaos.
Two figures stood in the void. Great God Pangu held his great axe, a flash of cold light gleaming, while East King Duke clenched his fists and charged bravely. All the wind and cloud visions instantly dissipated.
Only power remained—supreme above all!
"Fight!"
East King Duke and Great God Pangu spoke in unison!
In an instant, divine abilities clashed. The entire Void Chaos withered and collapsed, vast power surging through the heavens and realms. This was true apocalypse—or perhaps what was called Epoch Samsara.
This time, East King Duke exhausted every effort, battling fiercely against Great God Pangu.
Yet, before the supreme Great Dao of Strength, his mana and comprehension of the Great Dao were but a drop in the ocean, utterly incomparable to Great God Pangu's.
There were no brilliant fireworks—only the vast, boundless Dao Resonance.
"This Emperor admits defeat!"
"But one day, I shall stand at the pinnacle of the Great Dao. Even if you are Pangu, you will look up at my back and chant my true name within the cycle of reincarnation!"
East King Duke stood within the Void Chaos, hands clasped behind his back, speaking calmly to Great God Pangu, without the slightest sense of defeat.
After all, Great God Pangu's comprehension of the Great Dao of Strength far surpassed his own, and East King Duke had only achieved Minor Achievement of the Law of Strength.
In terms of combat experience and Dao comprehension, he was no match for Great God Pangu.
Yet all of this could be made up for through long years of cultivation—only an eternal Dao heart could allow one to return to their true self!
"Good, you are very good. I admire you!"
"To withstand my Dao Falls into Samsara technique, to keep your Dao heart unbroken under the Great Dao of Strength—you are worthy of reshaping your Dao heart with my heart!"
"Believe that one day, you will meet me!"
Great God Pangu nodded slightly, his divine soul gradually dissipating. His hearty laughter spread through all directions, the rules of the Great Dao of Strength flickering faintly.
"So you truly took that step!"
"It turns out that the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, and even the Great Dao itself, were all deceived by you!"
East King Duke said calmly, yet his eyes were filled with supreme reverence.
Great God Pangu had not died. He had long since attained the Primordial Great Dao Realm, achieving true and ultimate freedom.
The path of the Great Dao is long and arduous!
The Dao that can be spoken!
Yet, it cannot be fully expressed!
