The fully fused Pangu Phantom stood beneath the dome of Pangu Hall.
Its body towered between heaven and earth, yet did not extend beyond the hall's boundaries.
The Space Law within Pangu's heart extended of its own accord through the hall, accommodating the phantom.
The phantom's right hand held the outline of the Pangu Axe. The Yin-Yang Qi along the axe's back and the Light of Chaos along its haft shone upon one another, while only the blade's position remained empty.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Three Pure Ones stood on opposite sides, maintaining the Dutian Divine Fiends Grand Formation and the Three Pure Ones' Three Powers Formation respectively.
Pan Xuan stood directly before the phantom, the Star Divine Dao Seal hovering above his head. Purple-gold Divine Dao light intertwined with the phantom's Chaos Light.
His divine sense maintained a tenuous connection with the phantom.
Though he was not the phantom's summoner, he was the Lord of the Divine Dao, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon born from Pangu's Vast Righteous Qi.

Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian closed their eyes together, sinking their minds entirely into the Pangu Phantom.
The phantom's eyes, brilliant as the sun and moon, slowly lit up, sending out three chaos-colored beams that entered the brows of the Three Pure Ones.
That light pierced their flesh, pierced their Primordial Spirits,
