"Ah~!"

The Five Elements Demon God had lost his head, yet he still let out a mournful, heart-rending Daoist cry. Luckily, Feng Yue was a good person. He saw the Buddha through to the west and killed his victims to the very end.

Then Feng Yue formed one streak of pure white runic power after another with both hands. They drifted through the air before coiling around the Five Elements Demon God's body.

"By the command of the Boundless Great Dao, I suppress the Five Elements Law!"

"Void-Shattering Soul, Years-Reversing Body!"

In an instant, the Five Elements Demon God's body began shrinking rapidly in the broad daylight of Chaos. Even his Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation was swiftly falling.

Feng Yue shattered his soul with the power of the void, then swallowed and absorbed the fragments himself.

The passage of time reversed his body, making it grow smaller and smaller. It became a beast, then changed again into a blooming five-colored flower, and continued changing... until it finally became a seed.

Mid-stage sixth layer of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal...

Early-stage sixth layer of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal...

Fifth layer of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal... fourth... third...

Only when his realm fell below that of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal did Feng Yue finally see the Five Elements Demon God's true form clearly: a Chaos Five-Colored Seed. It was quite a fine thing, worthy of being called a top-grade Chaos spiritual root.

The last thing to do was take the Five Elements Demon God's Great Dao Golden Wheel. It held the Five Elements Great Dao Law, one of the three thousand Great Dao Laws beneath the Great Dao, and ranked among the finest of them.

When a Demon God died, the Great Dao Laws he controlled would usually be reclaimed by the Great Dao. But Feng Yue wasn't willing to let that happen. He had suddenly realized that killing a Demon God was nowhere near as satisfying as plundering everything he owned.

The Great Dao soul could be absorbed to strengthen his own soul, while the Great Dao True Spirit could be used to refine a clone—a new identity he could use to make a side account. His true body was still the seed of a Chaos Five-Colored Flower, which would be beneficial to his cultivation once he grew it. He could also fuse the Great Dao Golden Wheel into the Boundless Dao and become the master of both the Space-Time and Five Elements Laws.

That would make it absolutely perfect!

Ten kalpas later, Feng Yue finished absorbing the Five Elements Demon God's Great Dao soul. His soul had grown a little stronger, and he had also perfectly fused the Great Dao Golden Wheel, taking control of the complete Five Elements Great Dao Law. His realm, too, had advanced to the eighth layer of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

(P.S. The realms in Chaos are: Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, Primordial Infinite Golden Immortal, Primordial Infinite Great Luo Dao Venerable, Half-Step Great Dao, and Great Dao. The three Primordial realms each have twelve layers, and the Great Dao is complete at the twelfth.)

As for the Five Elements Demon God's Great Dao Demon God True Spirit, Feng Yue put it straight into the space inside his true body, the Chaos Tree. He planned to wait until Pangu split heaven and earth to form the Primordial World, then take it out and refine a clone to trick those innate gods and demons.

The Chaos Five-Colored Seed was naturally put away as well. Feng Yue kept only the Five Elements Dao Swords for his own use.

He had just swallowed the Chaos Pearl, so he had no accompanying supreme treasure to use. These Five Elements Dao Swords had come at just the right time.

Actually, Feng Yue's countless branches and tender leaves, as the true body, were all equivalent to Chaos spiritual treasures. He just didn't want to use them. After all, who in their right mind wanted to spend all day drifting through Chaos as a tree, then beat people with branches whenever they encountered an enemy? Honestly...

Of course, if he really had no spiritual treasures, Feng Yue could always snap off a few branches and tender leaves to make some. They would still serve him well in battle.

Gripping the long sword, he slashed upward into the Chaos above.

A five-colored sword beam shot into the sky, cleaving the Chaos currents in two. It struck a Chaos Stubborn Stone a million li away with a heavy blow...

With a boom, the Chaos Stubborn Stone exploded into fragments.

"Excellent. No wonder it's a top-grade Chaos spiritual treasure!"

Feng Yue smiled and ran his hand over the blade. It was truly sharp!

"Damn that Five Elements Demon God! Fine, he wouldn't become my son, but then he went and stabbed me in secret. Just thinking about it still hurts like hell!"

Looking at his reflection in the blade, Feng Yue couldn't help praising himself. "This figure, this bearing, this face... honestly, they're beyond reproach. That plastic surgery stuff probably couldn't do as good a job as my transformation!"

After resting for one kalpa amid the boundless Chaos, Feng Yue set out on a journey through it.

He had transmigrated into Chaos in this life and spent more than ten kalpas as a Chaos Tree. It was downright ridiculous.

He had heard that Chaos was full of opportunities. When Pangu split heaven and earth, Chaos would shatter, and countless Chaos spiritual roots and treasures would vanish. So he had to gather as many spiritual treasures and roots as he could before Pangu opened heaven and earth.

As for whether Pangu would hack him to death then, Feng Yue had no idea. He wasn't a Demon God, after all, and he had never sworn anything to the Great Dao. He had even condensed his own tribulation of transformation. Surely that didn't count as being a Demon God?

As for a Daoist name, he hadn't settled on one yet. Feng Yue thought his Earth name was pretty good.

Feng Yue had already planned out his path of cultivation. He would focus on the Boundless Dao, supplement it with the Five Elements Dao, learn the alchemy, artifact-refining, and talisman-array methods in the Immeasurable Space-Time Sutra, and travel through Chaos in search of spiritual treasures and roots. He'd also look for some Chaos hot springs to soak in along the way.

Walking through Chaos, he contemplated the Dao as the Chaos Gale blew his beautiful long hair into a scattered mess. He looked devastatingly handsome.

From time to time, he saw a Chaos Flower the size of ten thousand li scamper past him, looking terribly frightened.

Sometimes he saw a stone with legs sleeping atop a Chaos Stubborn Stone. He even came across something like a clover contemplating the Laws.

Feng Yue left them all undisturbed.

Those Chaos creatures were simply too weak. Like Feng Yue when he had first transmigrated, they had only gained intelligence and hadn't mastered any of the Great Dao Laws beneath the Great Dao. They were still on the path to transformation and had yet to find any way to cultivate.

The three thousand Great Dao Laws had all been mastered by the Chaos Demon Gods. Even if these young Chaos creatures tried to comprehend the Laws, they could only comprehend branch Laws. For example, if a Demon God had already mastered the Great Dao's Water Law, these Chaos creatures could only comprehend branches of the Water Law, like the Weak Water Law, the Spirit Water Law, or the Heavy Water Law...

Come to think of it, seeing a stone with legs running around in Chaos was pretty funny. The way it ran was just... hahaha...

Some Chaos Flowers bloomed beautifully, like lower-grade Chaos spiritual roots, and ran incredibly fast... They shot a stream of Chaos energy from their spores, using it as a propellant to race along.

There were also crickets, earthworms, and grasshoppers...

"Chaos is so interesting!"

When he was bored to death, Feng Yue grabbed a piece of curved grass with four legs that looked like a banana.

"Come on, spread your branches and let Big Brother Tree see if you're male or female... Heh heh!"
