Godfiend Melee, Great Daos Collide!

"Creation and destruction... were they fighting again..."

"Why did they never understand that Great Daos generated and restrained one another? Every Godfiend existed because it had its own Dao!"

"This was the will of the Great Dao. Why did they insist on going their own way, repeatedly waging wars until Chaos could not know peace?!"

The Returning Ruins Godfiend stood within the Returning Ruins Land, sensing the aftershocks of countless Great Dao collisions coming from the depths of boundless Chaos.

At the heart of Chaos, nearly a hundred Great Dao Divine Demons were wantonly venting their power.

The aftershocks of battle spread with the Daos carried in their every movement, reaching the endless depths of Chaos.

As his words fell, he slowly clenched his fists. Two utterly opposing powers flowed slowly within them.

They were Creation Power and Destruction Power!

As the two fused, they formed a power between creation and destruction. That was his original power—Returning Ruins Power.

Returning Ruins Power contained destruction, yet was accompanied by creation.

Although he possessed three powers at once, his strength was no match for either the Creation Godfiend or the Destruction Godfiend.

His Creation Power fell short of the Creation Godfiend's, and his Destruction Power likewise fell short of the Destruction Godfiend's.

To covet too much was to master none of it.

Moreover, even if he specialized in one of them, he could not surpass a Godfiend whose very nature was creation or destruction. Yet upon the path of Returning Ruins, he was the very symbol of invincibility.

Even so, among the current Chaotic Godfiends, he was still the strongest aside from those two.

That was only because there had not been enough time. Given sufficient time, he might not necessarily remain beneath those two Godfiends.

"Guixu... We should deepen our comprehension of the Great Dao. There is no need to concern ourselves with this. Once we are strong enough to suppress both their factions at once, Chaos will naturally be at peace!"

The Reincarnation Godfiend rose to persuade him, an eerie black radiance glimmering from his nine-curved bull horns.

The Reincarnation Great Dao manifested behind him, suppressing all things.

"Reincarnation is right. We should seize the time to comprehend the Great Dao. Once we can crush both their factions, Chaos can return to peace!"

The Yin Yang Godfiend also rose. Behind him was the Yin Yang Great Dao, black and white endlessly entwining.

"Fellow Daoists, do not try to dissuade me further. I understand. We must stand at the pinnacle; only then can Chaos be pacified!!!"

An unprecedented desire for power appeared in the Returning Ruins Godfiend's eyes.

He sat cross-legged and comprehended the Returning Ruins Great Dao.

Though the neutral faction had the fewest Great Dao Divine Demons, every one of its Godfiends possessed terrifying combat power.

Aside from the Returning Ruins Godfiend, the Reincarnation Godfiend, for instance, commanded the powers of life and death, making him far stronger than two ordinary Godfiends.

The Yin Yang Godfiend was the same. He commanded the power of Yin Yang and was likewise far stronger than ordinary Godfiends.

The Karma Godfiend was no different.

Though these neutral Godfiends were few, every one of them possessed astonishing combat strength.

"Slaughter, stop clinging to your ignorant delusions! Return to salvation, and the Great Dao will forgive your ignorance and greed!!!"

The Salvation Godfiend looked kindly at the Slaughter Godfiend, who was relentlessly attacking him.

The Salvation Godfiend's entire body was concealed beneath a snow-white robe, making it impossible to see the form hidden under it. Yet no one could deny his greatness and might!

The Slaughter Godfiend continuously unleashed all manner of decisive killing divine abilities, yet before the Salvation Great Dao, they were dissolved one after another.

He was the nemesis of slaughter. He was the embodiment of salvation.

Killing could not stop salvation, nor could salvation stop slaughter.

The two relied upon one another and coexisted, inseparable.

"Hehe!!! You really are such a good child!!"

The Slaughter Godfiend's three thousand strands of hair drifted in the wind, each one seemingly containing endless killing intent.

Infinite killing intent brewed throughout his body. If someone who cultivated the Dao of Slaughter merely glanced at him, they would feel that the entire world was filled with killing intent, as though whether they moved or remained still, they would die at the very next moment!

This was the terror of the Great Dao of Slaughter!

Yet the Salvation Godfiend, born from the manifestation of the Salvation Great Dao, remained unscarred despite standing amid boundless killing intent.

Every wound the Slaughter Godfiend left on him healed in the very next instant.

That was the salvation of the Great Dao!

That was the compassion of the Great Dao!!!

Elsewhere.

"Light, give up! No matter where you shine, you will ultimately be devoured by me!!!"

The Darkness Godfiend was pitch-black from head to toe, hidden within darkness so that no one could see his form.

"Wherever I shine is light!!!"

The Light Godfiend was a disk-like being, looking remarkably like the sun of later ages.

"Any being in Chaos whose form resembles mine shall receive my blessing and illuminate a region!!!"

In order to disperse darkness and drive it from Chaos, Light had made his own form circular, allowing him to illuminate the largest possible area.

As Light appeared, everything around him—whether Chaos or darkness—was driven away. Brilliant white radiance illuminated a region of the Chaotic World.

Between darkness and light lay endless Chaos.

Chaos was not formed by the fusion of darkness and light. Rather, when Chaos increased, it became darkness; when driven away, it became light!!!

"Stop making yourself sound so righteous!!! I am darkness!!! Darkness shall sweep through everything!!! Whether it is Chaos or you damned light!!!"

Even after exhausting all his strength, the Darkness Godfiend could not reach the Light Godfiend.

He carried all-encompassing darkness, imbued with the erosion of the Great Dao, toward him. Yet just as he finally neared the Light Godfiend, it was scattered by his radiance. Even darkness bearing the Great Dao could not erode Light itself!!!

It could be said that he was completely restrained by the Light Godfiend.

Yet likewise, the Light Godfiend could not approach him either.

His darkness could not invade the Light Godfiend, and the Light Godfiend's light could not invade him either!

When the light cast by the Light Godfiend reached his vicinity, it was eroded by the darkness emanating from his own body.

Light and darkness generated and restrained each other. Neither could do anything to the other, and they fell into a deadlock.

There were many other Godfiends locked in stalemates like theirs!!!

For instance, the Order Godfiend and the Destruction Godfiend, the Fusion Godfiend and the Decomposition Godfiend, the Guardian Godfiend and the Deprivation Godfiend, the Love Godfiend and the Hate Godfiend.

And so on. Whenever Godfiends with Opposing Great Daos fought, even if their cultivation differed somewhat, the existence of their Great Daos meant that their actual combat strength was nearly equal. Neither could do anything to the other.

Ye Xuan found this battle exceedingly dull. Though these Godfiends were causing quite a commotion, within such a vast Chaotic World, it amounted to nothing.

At the same time, he was continuously deepening his comprehension of the Great Dao through the clashes between the Great Dao Divine Demons.
