Feng Yue's tree body began curling inward, bunching up like a dandelion. Only the trunk and roots remained exposed.
The Five Elements Demon God's eyes widened. "This Chaos Tree really has all kinds of divine abilities. Now that it's gained sentience, it's truly terrifying. I wonder what scheme it's up to this time!"
"Hahaha!"
Feng Yue burst into laughter. The surrounding spacetime began to solidify, and an aura that surpassed the laws of the Spacetime Dao rapidly unfurled.
"I don't believe I'll meet my end here today. After all, I've never felt so clearheaded!"
"After fighting for so long, I've finally completely digested the power of the Chaos Pearl, and I understand the wondrous uses of the laws of spacetime!"
"I shall take myself as the Dao and forge a path beyond the Three Thousand Great Daos—the Boundless Dao!"
"The boundless is spacetime: time has no end, space is infinite, and spacetime is boundless!"
"The boundless is undying and indestructible, stretching across the ages and striding through myriad voids!"
"The boundless knows no limits; such is spacetime!"
"The boundless bears all things and envelops all creation...!"
"The boundless is the path to transcendence. So what if there are Three Thousand Great Daos? So what if there is the Five Elements Dao? You're all going to die!"
"Across all heaven and earth, let the passage of time illuminate the chaos of the cosmos, and let the void bear heaven, earth, and Xuanhuang!"
As Feng Yue absorbed his insights, his form emerged. Above him, in the chaotic sky, countless thunderclouds swiftly gathered, containing a full twelve colors.
The Five Elements Demon God's mouth fell open in shock. What in the world was this?
"A tribulation? A tribulation of transformation?"
"What kind of defiance of the Dao is this? He hasn't sworn himself to the Great Dao; instead, he's summoned the chaotic tribulation clouds on his own and is weathering the tribulation all by himself!"
The Five Elements Demon God could no longer find words to describe this creature. He might be a Chaos Tree, but he was far too terrifying.
"Once I've weathered this tribulation, I swear I'll kill you!"
Feng Yue spoke to the Five Elements Demon God. This hatred had been building for a million years. All that time, he hadn't had a single peaceful moment. He'd endured constant attacks, beaten down and suppressed by the Five Elements Demon God.
If he hadn't been so tough, he would already have been killed.
He couldn't bear it any longer.
The seed of hatred had already been planted. Now he only had to break through the earth, complete his transformation, and settle this great karmic debt.
The chaotic sky around them was blanketed with tribulation clouds. Lightning raged, and in a flash, it crackled with piercing, sizzling sounds.
Boom!
Thunder and lightning, violent winds and torrential rain—all were manifestations of chaos. The tribulation of transformation wasn't just a lightning strike; it also tested him with the four primordial elements of chaos: earth, water, fire, and wind.
Yet the sight of the tribulation clouds filled the Five Elements Demon God with a sense of danger—not... not merely danger, but the arrival of death.
At the level of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, they could freely divine the past and future, faintly glimpsing the truth of what was to come.
In a sliver of the near future, he would fall, his body and Dao destroyed.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Even if his transformation tribulation is a twelve-colored Chaos Tribulation, that only puts him on par with us top-tier Chaos Demon Gods. How could he possibly kill me?"
The Five Elements Demon God shook his head, unable to believe what he had just divined. But one thing was certain: one day, he really would die.
That day wasn't far off. It would come in the near future.
He had no idea how he would die.
"Five Elements Dao, crush this Chaos Spirit Root for me!"
To dispel his doubts, he finally made his decision after a moment's hesitation.
The Five Elements Dao transformed into a colossal Great Dao Golden Wheel and bore down on Feng Yue, seeking to suppress him.
"How laughable!"
"I've already comprehended my own Dao. I'm no longer the useless Chaos Tree I once was!"
"Boundless Space-Time Dao, emerge!"
Feng Yue shouted. An aura of eternal spacetime swiftly surged forth, manifesting as a pair of eyes.
"The Time-Space Eye, the Boundless Eye!"
This was the manifestation of Feng Yue's Boundless Space-Time Dao. Compared to the Five Elements Dao, which resembled a formation, it was every bit its equal—if not superior.
The phantom of a pair of pupils merely glanced at the Five Elements Dao, and it froze in place, unable to move at all.
"Impossible! This can't be!"
The Demon God panicked, then roared, "You're still in the midst of your transformation tribulation, and you haven't completed your transformation. How can you wield a Great Dao for yourself?"
At the Five Elements Demon God's bewilderment, Feng Yue gave a contemptuous laugh. "The Boundless Space-Time Dao has acknowledged me. That alone is enough for it to protect me while I transform!"
"And what can you do about it?"
"Five Elements Dao, return to me!"
The Five Elements Demon God's voice rang out in a hysterical wail, but no matter what he did, the Five Elements Dao remained sealed by spacetime.
Under the unrelenting gaze of the Boundless Space-Time Dao, the Five Elements Dao seemed like a child facing an adult. It didn't dare move, and could only hang motionless in place.
The lightning tribulation crashed down, bringing with it the rampaging Chaos Gale and the merciless torment of water and fire. Feng Yue could feel his physical body growing stronger at an even faster pace.
The sheer pain transformed his Chaos Tree body at its very core. If he hadn't been trying to look impressive, he would have cried out from the agony.
"All things possess a spirit!"
Feng Yue suddenly shouted. He didn't know why those four words had come to him. Perhaps gaining sentience as a tree had given him a deeper sense of the Dao.
He should have been nothing more than a Spirit Root standing quietly in the chaos, greedily absorbing its power and purifying the environment. Instead, a Demon God had driven him onto the road of enlightenment and cultivation!
The lightning tribulation descended, and Feng Yue's body slowly began to transform. His leaves grew more lush, verdant, and tender; his branches became tougher and more resilient; his trunk grew coarser and harder; and the undying, strange substance on his roots grew denser still.
Then, under the Five Elements Demon God's very eyes,
Feng Yue began his transformation.
His Chaos Tree body started changing into a rectangular monster. A round creature appeared at the end of a branch, with seven pupils that seemed like eyes. The rest was impossible to make out.
More precisely, the Five Elements Demon God didn't understand the features of humans from Blue Star. He had never seen what a human looked like.
Feng Yue was now developing a form and physique like those of the Human Clan. What he wanted was to become the first great Dao body in the chaos—the Chaos Dao Body!
Compared to the Chaos Demon God Body, this form allowed him to comprehend the Dao far more quickly and offered a far broader path of cultivation.
At last, Feng Yue's Chaos Tree body had transformed into two arms and two legs...
"Damn it, what kind of monster is that?"
A hint of surprise showed between the Five Elements Demon God's brows.
His entire body was wrapped in a hazy purple aura and flowing Dao light. He then donned a purple-gold Daoist robe and a blue-white jade crown. With his swordlike brows and bright, starry eyes, he'd fashioned himself a handsome visage.
But in the chaos, no living creature had a human sense of beauty.
"Damn it, why is this Spirit Root so hideous after transforming? It's downright revolting!"
The Five Elements Demon God's mind wavered. He involuntarily took a few steps back, preparing an escape route.
