Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Demon Ape had barely landed when he furiously pounded his chest, as if venting the rage in his heart.
Roar!
His furious roars echoed through the Chaos.
"Hmph! Stubborn fool! You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Pangu merely sneered, expressing his disdain with all the knowledge he had learned in his previous life.
Eighty-One Forms of Sky Splitting!
Pangu shouted as he swung the Sky-Opening Axe in his hand.
"Die!"
With a thunderous roar, Pangu's arm muscles bulged as he repeatedly brought down the massive axe in his hand. Every strike was filled with the Law of Strength.
Every strike was enough to cleave a rift through the Chaos.
Roar!
The enraged Chaos Demon Ape could not endure this any longer and threw a punch at Pangu's head!
Because Pangu had been human in his previous life, he had reduced his size by more than a thousandfold after transmigrating.
The Chaos Demon Ape's true body, meanwhile, was several times larger than Pangu's current form.
Boom!
This was completely a case of Pangu putting on a flashy show. The Eighty-One Forms of Sky Splitting he had casually mentioned were just talk—it simply meant chopping eighty-one times. It sounded cool.
Both were Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals. Pangu could have fought a thousand Chaos Demon Apes alone without any trouble.
But taking a punch to the face without any preparation was not pleasant.
"Fuck your mother!"
That punch did little damage, but it was immensely insulting.
That punch had thoroughly broken Pangu's defenses. After all, aside from his father in his previous life, he had never been beaten before.
Filled with rage, Pangu enlarged his body several times over. In an instant, he was the same size as the Chaos Demon Ape, and the Sky-Opening Axe in his hand grew several times larger as well.
His eyes reddened. Brimming with fury, he condensed the Law of Strength to its fullest and swung several axe strikes at the Chaos Demon Ape!
Eighty! Eighty! Bah, I'll chop you to death! Chop you to death!
He swung nine axes in succession. The powerful Law of Strength tore apart the Chaos Void, though it quickly healed, causing no real harm.
But the Chaos Demon Ape did not have it so easy.
Roar!
The Chaos Demon Ape roared unwillingly.
The nine consecutive slashes had completely shattered his origin.
His origin split into four parts, each carrying one-quarter of the Law of Battle.
Pangu instantly understood when he saw this. These were the Four Monkeys of the Chaos.
Pull out the roots to prevent future trouble!
Such a phrase surfaced in Pangu's mind.
In the next instant, he swung another axe toward the four streaks of black light fleeing away.
Whoosh!
Just as the axe blade was about to touch the four streaks of light, they vanished instantly!
"Hmph! Looks like the Chaos Heavenly Dao saved them!"
Pangu snorted coldly. The heavenly mandate could not be defied yet. When I split the sky open, I'll send you on your way!
As for why Pangu did not think it had been the Great Dao?
Pangu's answer was simple.
If it had been the Great Dao, it would have killed him the moment it discovered him.
An old schemer like the Great Dao would never permit an existence like him, one beyond its control.
He could not kill the Chaos Heavenly Dao now, because the Great Dao had not yet retreated and he was no match for it.
When the time came to split the sky open, he could simply kill the Chaos Heavenly Dao along the way.
Hongjun: "..."
Fuck me...
Hongjun was speechless. I gave you the Chaos Bead, then the Star Dou Tree, and now you're still cursing me? This is too hard! I'm only a "novice Great Dao"! Who could endure this?
Every day, he ate the Great Dao, drank the Great Dao, used the Great Dao, then cursed the Great Dao after meals...
The corner of Hongjun's mouth twitched slightly. If not for the Great Dao's restrictions, he truly wanted to go down there and slap Pangu twice!
Looking at the enormous tree before him,
Pangu shrank his body and plucked two fruits from the tree, placing them in his mouth.
"Mmm~"
The next second, his eyes widened. This flavor!
As expected of the Star Dou Tree—the flavor was exactly like lemons!
"Forget it. The taste isn't important. This tree's rank is more than enough."
After placing the other fruit into his mouth as well, Pangu could not help thinking this.
Another hundred years passed. In the end, Pangu decided that the Chaos Spiritual Root, the Star Dou Tree, would become his new body!
The main reason he had hesitated for so long was that his original body was the Body of the Great Dao!
The Body of the Great Dao was not something a Chaos Spiritual Root could compare to.
He truly could not bear to part with it.
But in order to one day "take revenge" on the Great Dao, he had no choice but to resort to this measure.
Thus, once he made up his mind, he decided to begin splitting his Primordial Spirit!
That was right, splitting his Primordial Spirit!
The process was long and incomparably painful.
"Fuck! Damn it! Who the hell knew splitting the Primordial Spirit would hurt this much!"
Pangu's eyes nearly split open from fury. This pain truly was not something a person could endure!
That was right. Under Hongjun's watchful gaze, this guy actually split his Primordial Spirit into two!
Hongjun nearly burst out laughing at this.
The Primordial Spirit was the soul, the True Spirit, and the origin.
If you split your own origin, how could it not hurt you to death?
He sent that small portion of his Primordial Spirit into Pangu's body, while the larger portion under his control entered the Star Dou Tree.
Feeling his new body, he began cultivating once more with the Chaos Green Lotus and the Jade Disk of Creation.
In any case, he had the Chaos Bead, and the Chaos Demon Ape had been slain by him. With no karmic ties remaining, he was not afraid of the Great Dao discovering his whereabouts.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand years passed. Within the Chaos Bead, the Star Dou Tree began to shake violently. After a brilliant burst of violet light, a young man clad in purple robes appeared where it had stood, and the Star Dou Tree was nowhere to be seen.
This person was Pangu after his rebirth.
The newly born Pangu already possessed the cultivation of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Why was that?
Why had violet qi coiled around the Star Dou Tree?
That violet qi was Primordial Violet Qi, a gift Hongjun had given Pangu.
Otherwise, he could not have taken form at all.
To take form and be born within the Chaos, one had to reach the cultivation of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Yet without Primordial Violet Qi, one could not attain Primordial Unity.
To enable Pangu to split the sky open, Hongjun had gone to great lengths and had even contributed an extra strand of Primordial Violet Qi.
The moment Pangu emerged from the Chaos Bead, he sensed that the heavenly mandate had arrived.
It was time to split the sky open!
After he stepped out of the Chaos Bead, an extremely mysterious aura locked onto him!
"The Great Dao?"
Feeling that strange and mysterious aura, the only thing Pangu could think of was the Great Dao.
"The Great Dao truly cannot sense the Chaos Bead. The novels did not deceive me!"
The moment he came out, the Great Dao locked onto him. It seemed the Great Dao was quite anxious.
Was it because it could not find him?
According to the original heavenly mandate, the sky should have been split open a thousand years ago, while he had vanished for a full thousand years.
"It's time to split the sky open, or I might get myself killed by recklessness."
Pangu sent his new body, the Young Daoist who had just taken form, into the Chaos Bead.
This way, the Great Dao could not sense the location of that new body.
Once everything was ready, Pangu held the Sky-Opening Axe, stood upon the Thirty-Six-Rank Chaos Green Lotus, and held the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Jade Disk of Creation, above his head as he returned to his birthplace.
The moment he set foot there, he could clearly sense the aura of the Great Dao.
It seemed the Great Dao had been watching him all along.
Pangu thought to himself.
