Chaos Gods and Demons

Realizing that he truly had no particular ambitions, Hongyun felt somewhat dejected, but he quickly shook off the feeling.

"Brother Shi Mo, should we continue planting millet next?"

Zhen Yuanzi, standing nearby, said, "The Wu Clan has just traded for quite a lot of millet, so they will not need any more for the time being. Besides, the date of the Dao Ancestor's second sermon at Purple Heaven Palace is approaching. I think we should prepare ourselves and not rush to plant millet."

"Right, I nearly forgot. We still have to go to Purple Heaven Palace to hear the Dao! This time, just in case and to avoid any more accidents, the three of us should stay together and head to Purple Heaven Palace together," Hongyun said, slapping his forehead.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly in agreement, while Shi Mo neither confirmed nor denied it, merely revealing a trace of anticipation.

Listening to the Dao at Purple Heaven Palace was the greatest opportunity and grandest event in the Primordial World. It concerned the path of cultivation and becoming a saint, so naturally it could not be missed.

In the blink of an eye, several decades passed. As the date of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's second sermon at Purple Heaven Palace drew nearer, Shi Mo, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hongyun finally set off.

Above the Nine Heavens Gale Layer lay the Monster Clan's Heavenly Court. Immortal mist and spiritual qi drifted through the air, while starlight filled the heavens. If not for the towering baleful aura of some Monster Clan experts, which could be felt from afar, this place would truly have qualified as a blessed immortal realm.

"The power of the Heavenly Court's stars is actually this dense. It seems Di Jun and the others did not destroy the formation foundations Brother Shi Mo painstakingly laid down," Hongyun, who had visited the Heavenly Court before, could not help being astonished by its changes.

"They did destroy some, but they were only insignificant auxiliary formation foundations. They have little effect on my ability to activate the Heavenly Stellar Formation and draw upon the power of the stars," Shi Mo said indifferently.

Zhen Yuanzi, beside him, said seriously, "Brother Shi Mo, you offended the Monster Clan badly before. We should be careful and hurry to Purple Heaven Palace."

Before long, beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, amid the dazzling starry sky of the Primordial World, Shi Mo gazed at the boundless dark expanse and could not help frowning. "Brothers, the Primordial World's starry sky is so vast. How long would it take us to fly to its end?"

"Hehe." Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun both laughed upon hearing this. Seeing that, Shi Mo asked in confusion, "What? Was I wrong? Don't we have to fly to the end of the starry sky before entering the chaos?"

"We can directly tear open space from here and enter the chaos. If we fly to the end of the starry sky, we can indeed enter the chaos, but we would be farther from Purple Heaven Palace instead. We would waste a great deal of time traveling. If we get lost in the chaos, it would be even more troublesome," Hongyun explained.

Shi Mo came to a realization and was just about to shatter the Primordial World's starry sky when the entire starry expanse suddenly trembled. In the distance, the starry sky rippled like water, and then the Chaos Bell appeared, its aura brimming with mighty power.

"Hmm?" Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun's expressions changed at once when they saw Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, the Ten Great Monster Sages, and a host of other Monster Clan experts appear beneath the Chaos Bell.

Shi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Di Jun and the others.

Bai Ze and some of the other Monster Clan experts who saw Shi Mo also changed expression, instinctively turning to look at Di Jun.

"Go!" Di Jun's face was grim and unsightly as he barked out a low command. Donghuang Taiyi, standing beside him, immediately activated the Chaos Bell, tearing open the Primordial World's starry sky and sweeping the Monster Clan experts into the chaos.

"They just left like that?" Hongyun asked in surprise.

"If they fought me in the Primordial World's starry sky, they would only be humiliating themselves," Shi Mo sneered.

But Zhen Yuanzi could not help frowning. "Once we enter the chaos, you will no longer be able to borrow the power of the stars. If Di Jun and the others attack..."

"If soldiers come, I'll block them; if water comes, I'll dam it with earth. I, Shi Mo, am not so easily bullied," Shi Mo said coldly.

"Brother Zhen Yuan, when the time comes, we'll have to rely on your Earth Book to withstand that Chaos Bell," Hongyun said, looking at Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi also said seriously to Shi Mo, "If Di Jun and the others truly intend to act, I fear you and I will have to join forces to activate the Earth Book."

Shi Mo neither confirmed nor denied it. He simply punched through the Primordial World's starry sky and entered the vast chaos first.

Within the chaos, filled with chaotic currents that surged like hidden undercurrents, even Daluo Golden Immortals would travel very slowly without a spiritual treasure to protect them.

Yet after Shi Mo entered it, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity as the chaotic currents surged toward him like dark tides. He then took a deep breath and directly inhaled the chaotic currents into his body.

"Brother Shi Mo, you... you were born as a Chaos God or Demon?" Noticing the mysterious glowing patterns faintly emerging on Shi Mo's skin, Zhen Yuanzi asked in astonishment.

"Chaos Gods and Demons?" Hongyun's eyes widened as well.

"Let's go!" Shi Mo neither confirmed nor denied it. As he automatically absorbed the surging chaotic energy, he led the way toward a distant direction where he could faintly sense an invisible aura of pressure.

Although he had never been to Purple Heaven Palace, Shi Mo had felt a saint's pressure before. Naturally, he could guess that Purple Heaven Palace lay in that direction.

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi followed after him. They had not gone far before stopping, only to see the Chaos Bell's power forcing back the chaotic currents ahead. Di Jun and the other Monster Clan experts were blocking Shi Mo's path.

"Di Jun, what is it? Have your wounds healed so quickly that you have forgotten the pain? Looking for trouble again?" Shi Mo asked with a cold smile.

Di Jun stared sharply at Shi Mo, then laughed in anger. "Shi Mo, you still dare act so arrogantly in this chaos? I would like to see what you can still rely on."

"Aren't you afraid I'll go back, smash your Heavenly Court to pieces, and slaughter my way through the Thirty-Three Heavens?" Shi Mo's words made Di Jun's face twitch.

"Fine! It seems I can only leave you here," Di Jun said, his voice growing colder and filled with killing intent. "Second Brother, let him experience the true power of your Chaos Bell!"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded lightly and prepared to activate the Chaos Bell with all his strength.

Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed slightly as he was about to fully activate the Earth Book, but Shi Mo merely waved a hand. Then, with a strange curve to his lips, he took one step forward and instantly transformed into an incomparably massive stone giant.

A jade-like glow flickered faintly across Shi Mo's body. As the mysterious patterns on him appeared and vanished, his entire body became like a black hole, drawing in the endless chaotic energy around him in a mad rush.

As enormous amounts of chaotic energy poured into Shi Mo's body, his aura became increasingly violent and terrifying, even more dreadful than that of an Ancestral Witch.

"What?" Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Kunpeng, and the others were all stunned.

Shi Mo's aura filled them with an inexplicable trembling terror, as though chicks had encountered an eagle. That helpless fear made their hearts quiver.

"So this is a Chaos God or Demon? It really is terrifying!" Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi, standing behind him, exchanged glances, both wearing shocked expressions.
