This time, Zhu Jiuyin was the one controlling the True Form of Pangu.
So Zhu Jiuyin had done it on purpose. He had really wanted to see whether he could seize the Three Treasures of Opening the Heavens by using the True Form of Pangu to unleash its divine abilities.
Now it seemed he still couldn't take them.
Not only was the True Form of Pangu still somewhat lacking in strength, but, most importantly, it wasn't the real Pangu.
Even so, Zhu Jiuyin had still tested something of vital importance.
Although the True Form of Pangu couldn't directly take the treasures from Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tai Yi, the power of the three supreme treasures was reduced by at least ninety percent in its presence.
After all, having the Three Treasures of Opening the Heavens attack the True Form of Pangu was practically turning the natural order upside down.
It was even more absurd than a son striking his father. After all, in front of Pangu, even the Pangu Axe was just a little brother, let alone the Three Treasures of Opening the Heavens, which had been split off from it.
At the thought, Zhu Jiuyin smiled with satisfaction.
"Fine. If you won't come, then you won't come. Do you really think this is all the True Form of Pangu can do?"
"Come, axe!"
The True Form of Pangu let out another furious roar.
Twelve divine rays suddenly shot across the heavens and earth. Red, green, black, white, yellow, gold, purple, azure, dark, dim, flame, and frost—the twelve-colored origin laws burst forth at once, tearing through the heavens and shattering the starry river.
"Ning!"
The True Form of Pangu roared again.
The void cracked, and a gigantic Chaos-colored axe, formed from the twelve laws and half-ethereal in appearance, materialized out of thin air.
At that moment, every living being in the Primordial World felt an inexplicable terror rising from the depths of their true spirits. Even Hongjun, far away in the Purple Heaven Palace, couldn't help feeling his legs go weak.
"The... the Pangu Axe!"
Hongjun's voice was hoarse. He stared blankly at the figure beyond the Ancestral Land of the Witch Race, his heart pounding wildly.
There was no helping it. In the boundless worlds of the Chaos Primordial Realm, just ask around and see who the daddy was.
Before the Pangu Axe, never mind a mere Chaos Earthworm like him—even the Chaos Demon Gods, each born in the Hunyuan Realm and destined to reach the Chaos Realm as they matured, would have to kneel.
The Pangu Axe's fearsome name had been forged from the blood and lives of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
At that moment, Hongjun was truly afraid.
And it wasn't just Hongjun. Every living being in the Primordial World was terrified.
"The Pangu Axe! How did the Ancestral Witches manage to bring out something this heaven-defying?"
"Father God is unfair! He gave the Ancestral Witches so many trump cards, while we Three Pure Ones only have a Merit Pagoda. The Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Immortal Execution Sword Formation were all bestowed by our teacher."
"This is outrageous! They even managed to bring out the Pangu Axe. Is there any future left for our Demon Race?"
"It's over, it's over! If the Ancestral Witches swing the Pangu Axe at our Heavenly Court, our whole court will be wiped out!"
"Forget it, forget it. Conquering the Primordial World, becoming its supreme rulers—let's just wait to die!"
At that moment, the Three Pure Ones were resentful, the entire Demon Race had lost hope, and the ordinary beings of the Primordial World were too frightened to utter a word.
Even Hongjun was considering whether he should stop the Pangu Axe if it really came down on the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
"Forget it. I'd better not interfere! If the Ancestral Witches kill so many members of the Demon Race, including Di Jun and Tai Yi, their merit will surely be wiped out. Then the great powers of the Primordial World will all feel threatened, and the Witch Race will be doomed instead."
And so, while everyone waited in fear and resignation for the Pangu Axe to come down on the Demon Race Heavenly Court, the True Form of Pangu, controlled by Zhu Jiuyin, merely swung its axe at the void where Mount Buzhou stood.
Don't underestimate that swing. It was the True Form of Pangu's strongest strike, combined with the phantom of the Pangu Axe.
In an instant, a spatial rift appeared before everyone. It stretched from the Primordial Starry Sky above to the Nether Blood Sea below, vast enough to encompass more than half of Mount Buzhou.
"Not good! Are the Ancestral Witches trying to destroy the world?"
At that moment, not only was Hongjun aghast; every great power watching what was happening beyond the Ancestral Land of the Witch Race changed color in unison.
That single swing of the True Form of Pangu had directly shattered the barrier of the Primordial World.
And beyond the Primordial World lay the Chaos World.
The chaotic currents outside the Primordial World seemed to have found a breach and surged into it like mad.
At this rate, the entire Primordial World would be completely obliterated by the chaotic currents within three days at most.
Then the great powers of the Primordial World wouldn't even get the chance to worry about how to survive the crisis, ten billion years from now, when Turbid Qi wiped out every living being below the Sage Realm.
Hongjun wouldn't have to think about the momentum of the Heavenly Dao or how to break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, either.
Everyone would return to Chaos ahead of time!
At the thought, every great power, Hongjun included, truly wanted to exterminate the entire Witch Race.
At that moment, even the merciless, supreme Heavenly Dao could no longer remain composed. A purple-gold eye of law suddenly appeared above Mount Buzhou, glaring at the True Form of Pangu.
Endless Purple Heaven Divine Lightning coiled around that eye. One bolt was enough to severely wound a Quasi-Sage expert; with billions upon billions of bolts, even a Sage or a Hunyuan Realm powerhouse would meet certain death!
Beneath the Sages, all beings were ants; beneath the Heavenly Dao, even Sages were ants!
What puzzled Hongjun was that a world-ending calamity like this should surely have caused the Ancestral Witches' and the Witch Race's merit to plummet. The Great Dao might even have personally sent down a lightning punishment. So why had there been no reaction at all?
"Exactly. Why hasn't there been?"
Zhu Jiuyin remained unhurried. He simply relied on the True Form of Pangu to unleash Dijiang's Law of Space with all his might.
"Freeze!"
The Law of Space spread out like a spiderweb, covering all directions in an instant. The space that had been rapidly crumbling was immediately suppressed at astonishing speed, in the space of a single breath.
The Law of Space fixed it in place; the Law of Time set its course.
As soon as the Law of Time came into play, the chaotic currents that had been surging madly toward the Primordial World were instantly blocked by endless temporal laws, shut out beyond the reach of time.
They couldn't get in!
But that still wasn't nearly enough. In the face of the endless chaotic currents of the Chaos World, even the Laws of Space and Time wielded by the True Form of Pangu couldn't suppress them forever.
But at a time like this, Pangu Hall could make all the difference.
"Pangu Hall, suppress it for me!"
At that moment, following the True Form of Pangu's furious shout, Pangu Hall—plain-looking, with a rough simplicity that concealed its skill—suddenly blazed with boundless Chaos-colored light.
The light swept across the space the True Form of Pangu had just opened. In an instant, it spanned boundless time and space, suppressing the raging chaotic currents and the collapsing temporal and spatial fabric along with them.
At that moment, the rift condensed into a newly formed Great Thousand World.
