The Original Self's Journey Encounters One of His Kind; Pangu Reclaims the Heaven-Opening Axe

"Such a terrifying fellow—no wonder he still wouldn't cook through after being boiled for over a hundred kalpas!"

Clover sat on the Five Elements Demon God's shoulder and casually remarked.

But the Creation Demon God immediately ordered, "Do not speak his true name. This is an anomaly born into existence; his realm surpasses all imagination!"

"Why?" Clover continued asking. Were there actually living beings whose names could not be spoken?

The Five Elements Demon God was also somewhat puzzled. Why could they not call that fellow by his true name?

Had he not named himself Pangu and taken Sacred Venerable as his title?

"Half-step Great Dao—he has already entered the domain of the Dao. Those who chant his true name will suffer backlash unless they are in the Dao Venerable realm. A fellow like Clover would probably already be dead all over the chaos by now!" the Creation Demon God explained.

Clover: "..."

"Then that means I can call him Pangu?"

The Five Elements Demon God spoke, sounding somewhat delighted.

Yet the moment she uttered Pangu's great name, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if a pair of eyes were staring straight at her.

"If your realm is insufficient, it is best not to address a powerhouse of the Dao by their honorific title. Do not dwell too much on them in your heart either, or they will sense it."

The Creation Demon God continued explaining.

But in the next instant, Pangu manifested at the very center of chaos.

In but a moment, golden light illuminated the entire chaos, and countless laws were suppressed.

His head held up the chaotic firmament, his feet stood upon the heart of chaos. His height was immeasurable, impossible to deduce, impossible to calculate.

The bodies of ordinary Chaos Demon Gods, twelve hundred and ninety million miles tall, were no bigger than a palm before him.

The creatures of chaos were even more insignificant. Figures tens of millions of miles in size were like fingernails, and who knew how many had been trampled to death along Pangu's path.

Pangu was burly, his entire body packed with muscles. His hair hung loose and wild, yet he possessed a tyrannical presence and majesty that countless Demon Gods had never known.

His upper body was bare, while only a pair of triangular shorts covered a sliver of his privacy below.

He too possessed the form of a Chaos Dao Body, a physique born with the greatest ease in comprehending the Great Dao within chaos.

"Good heavens, where did this big brute come from?"

One Demon God, unaware of his own limits, headed over alone despite being only at the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level!

"Big brute, I heard you're the one planning to destroy chaos, right?"

This Demon God blocked Pangu's path. He was only as large as Pangu's mouth, yet he was exceedingly brazen and bold.

"Big brute, why are you staring at me? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Your body has no aura at all. You're not a Demon God either—you must be some unusually large creature of chaos!"

Slap!

Pangu frowned. Extending both hands toward the Demon God, he clapped them together.

In the next instant, the Demon God had been reduced to ashes, his body and Dao obliterated. He did not even have time to let out a scream.

A Demon God had fallen, yet the Great Dao sent down no punishment upon Pangu.

Such was the power of an anomaly. More accurately, he was treated like the Great Dao's own son, while the other Demon Gods were merely adopted sons.

After swatting a Chaos Demon God to death, Pangu casually said, "Overestimating yourself," then continued through the center of chaos, as though observing something.

Every step he took made the entire chaos tremble.

The Creation Demon God and the Five Elements Demon God arrived in the direction where Feng Yue was in seclusion. Seeing that Feng Yue was still immersed in comprehending the Dao, neither of them disturbed him.

The two kings of Chaos ferocious beasts, Little Black and Little White, used themselves to form the Three-Thousand Qi-Body Formation, guarding Feng Yue on all sides. The formation around them operated without cease.

Even the Creation Demon God and the Five Elements Demon God could not disturb Feng Yue if they wanted to.

For those two Chaos beast kings would not give them any face.

"Dao... Boundless Dao, three thousand Great Daos!"

"All are Dao, and all that serve my use!"

To speed up his comprehension of the Dao, Feng Yue used boundless spacetime to alter the flow of time within the great formation, using reincarnation to gain insight through one lifetime after another!

Doing so truly allowed him to comprehend the Great Dao more quickly.

"What exactly happened in the previous Chaos epoch?"

Feng Yue was somewhat puzzled. Taking advantage of this time, he decided to take a look at the previous Chaos epoch.

According to his two mounts, Pangu had also existed in the previous Chaos epoch, and all three thousand Demon Gods had died at that fellow's hands.

With that said, Feng Yue continued activating the Dao of Reincarnation, constructing a traversal tunnel with boundless spacetime.

Whoosh...!

In a single instant, his consciousness arrived in an unfamiliar chaos.

As for why it was his consciousness rather than his true body that arrived, it could only be said that Feng Yue's realm was too low.

He had not yet attained the Dao. Being able to enter the previous Chaos epoch with his consciousness was already quite impressive.

"So dark!"

"Still as dark as ever!"

The moment Feng Yue's consciousness traversed over, he saw two dragon-shaped creatures entwined above and below, apparently doing something rather shameful.

Feng Yue could sense the auras of those two beings. They were definitely merely creatures of chaos, not Chaos Demon Gods.

Passing by them, Feng Yue remained as he was, and no one noticed him.

He was merely a wisp of consciousness.

"Die!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Feng Yue.

A Chaos Demon God pierced a creature of chaos through the heart with an arrow, shooting it dead against a stubborn chaos rock.

The Chaos era of the previous epoch was no different from the one Feng Yue inhabited. Demon Gods abusing creatures of chaos was simply commonplace.

After all, in chaos, the strong were revered.

Feng Yue could do nothing about it either.

"Your Excellency, you do not belong to this epoch!"

"Please return whence you came!"

"Otherwise, do not blame this god for driving you away!"

An ethereal voice sounded beside Feng Yue's ear. It seemed like the voice of a female being, yet also like that of a male being.

In any case, it was strange. It had actually detected Feng Yue, who existed only in the form of consciousness. That was rather unimaginable.

Feng Yue looked around, yet discovered no living being at all. It was utterly baffling!

"Leave quickly!"

"You do not belong to the era of this Chaos epoch. Otherwise, the relatively balanced chaos will collapse!"

"Your strength is still insufficient!"

"And what if this one refuses?"

At this point, Feng Yue grew a little arrogant.

Good heavens, he had exhausted himself and finally reached the era of the previous Chaos epoch. He had not uncovered a single secret, yet they already wanted him to leave.

"Both anomalies—do you truly think you can do whatever you please?"

That voice rang out again, and Feng Yue's expression tightened.

Something was wrong!

There was also an anomaly in this epoch?

As Feng Yue pondered in confusion, he immediately felt his consciousness begin twisting beyond his control. It transformed into particles and was forcibly sent back into the boundless wormhole, traversing back to his own Chaos era.

"What the hell?"

"Could it be that I'm really too weak?"

At the center of chaos, Pangu swung both fists and smashed them toward a great Chaos formation.

"A complete Dao formation guarding it, hmph!"

"My opportunity naturally cannot escape!"

"Chaos Genesis Azure Lotus, emerge!"

A nine-colored azure lotus suddenly emerged beneath Pangu's feet, incomparably vast. Rooted at the very bottom of chaos, it spread its lotus leaves. Pangu immediately sat cross-legged within it, his hands unleashing countless powers of Great Dao laws.

Boom!

As the Dao formation shattered, a massive axe blade emanating black obsidian and violet-gold radiance manifested.

"The Heaven-Opening Axe belonged to me from the start!"
