A Single Axe Cleaves the Heavenly Dao

Twelve Capitals Gods-Fiends Formation!

A formation unique to the Ancestral Witches.

It could draw upon the immense power of essence blood to summon Pangu's True Body.

If there was one power Hongjun—or rather, the Heavenly Dao—feared most, it was the essence blood power Pangu had left behind.

That was why the Witch-Demon Calamity had to occur.

It would not permit the Ancestral Witches to exist!

'Hongjun' wanted to make a move.

But it was already too late!

Di Jiang let out a long roar, transmitting the formation he had comprehended to the other Ancestral Witches.

The Ancestral Witches quickly grasped it.

Zhu Jiuyin, Zhurong, Gong Gong, Xuanming, Hou Tu...

They all roared in response to Di Jiang.

They took their positions according to the formation layout of the Twelve Capitals Gods-Fiends Formation.

As the formation began to operate, the auras of the Twelve Ancestral Witches merged with one another, as though they had become one.

The vast power of Pangu's essence blood was stirred, while baleful energy from heaven and earth surged in, condensing into a Capital Heaven Demon God that stood between heaven and earth.

However, Di Jiang had already become a saint and could bear even more terrifying power.

The instant this towering Capital Heaven Demon God appeared, the eternal and indestructible will upon Mount Buzhou flooded into it.

In an instant, the Capital Heaven Demon God condensed Pangu's True Body.

Pangu's True Body held up the Chaos sky with its head and stood upon the land of the Primordial World with its feet. Its body stretched across countless light-years, every inch of skin as heavy as the Kunlun Divine Mountain.

Its surface was covered in profound patterns born from the same source as the mountains and rivers of the Primordial World, as though it carried every mark of law since the creation of heaven and earth.

Pangu's True Body's face was shrouded in endless mist. With its eyes closed, boundless primordial currents seemed to circulate within; when they opened, two golden rays pierced through heaven and earth.

The instant Pangu's True Body appeared, even 'Hongjun's' voice changed. He roared furiously at it:

"Pangu! It's you again!"

"Why aren't you dead yet?!"

Tai Shang, Yuan Shi, and Tong Tian's expressions changed drastically.

Despair appeared on Jie Yin and Zhun Ti's faces. "Great God Pangu!"

Dijun was utterly horrified, despair rising in his heart.

Even Great God Pangu had appeared.

How could the Demon Clan possibly contend against the Ancestral Witches?

Taiyi's scalp went numb.

The Innate Divine Saints secretly watching from all around gasped sharply the instant Pangu's True Body appeared.

Pangu's True Body had black hair cascading like an inverted galaxy. A diamond-shaped Heaven-Opening Mark floated above its brow. Its towering figure looked ahead, then beckoned as a voice like a great bell resounded:

"Come, axe!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell shone brilliantly.

They instantly formed the Heaven-Opening Axe!

The instant the Heaven-Opening Axe appeared.

The aura emanating from Pangu's True Body grew even more terrifying.

It raised the Heaven-Opening Axe and cleaved down toward 'Hongjun'.

It was a plain, unadorned strike, without the slightest trace of spectacle, like an old grandmother leisurely harvesting wheat with a sickle.

But for 'Hongjun', who faced the blow, it was far from simple.

In a daze, 'Hongjun' found himself back when his consciousness had first been born. Back then, the Great Dao still existed, and the Chaos Demon Gods born into the world were all Primordial Great Firmament Golden Immortals.

They roamed freely through Chaos, seeking opportunities to transcend it. Thus, they constantly hunted other Demon Gods, extracting and refining their laws.

But one day, the Great Dao issued a warning. Pangu opened heaven, and countless Demon Gods died wherever the axe light passed. Unwilling to accept this, he cultivated desperately and devoured without end.

He had thought he could defeat Pangu and transcend Chaos completely, but ideals were full while reality was brutal. One axe! A single axe had slain him...

'Hongjun' seemed to have returned to the time when he had been weak.

Terror!

Fear!

Resentment!

All kinds of thoughts surged into his heart.

"Roar!"

'Hongjun' roared and hurriedly snapped back to his senses, summoning immeasurable Purple Firmament Divine Lightning and World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment to bombard Pangu's True Body without end.

But as the axe light swept past, all of it was wiped out!

The Heaven-Opening Axe fell upon 'Hongjun'. The latter stiffened in place, then shattered like broken fragments with a bang.

Tai Shang and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

Their master was dead?

After 'Hongjun' shattered and completely vanished.

A mournful dirge of heaven and earth rang throughout the entire Primordial World, and the land wept blood...

Pangu's True Body opened its eyes, which held countless stars within them, and looked upon this Primordial World. It seemed to have a thousand words it wished to say.

Yet in the end, it merely sighed and released its grip. The Pangu Axe shattered on the spot, returning to the Taiji Diagram, Chaos Bell, and Pangu Banner.

Its figure began to slowly fade away.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones hurried forward. "Father God!"

Pangu's True Body looked at the Three Pure Ones with eyes that saw through all things and slowly said:

"You... take care of yourselves!"

After saying that, its figure faded from sight.

Di Jiang and the other witches reappeared.

Recalling what had just happened, the Ancestral Witches' eyes brimmed with excitement.

As the Three Pure Ones recalled what had just occurred, unease immediately filled their hearts.

Di Jiang held the three Primordial Supreme Treasures in his hand as Pangu's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Little one from another world, thank you. Since you call me Father God, I shall leave you something."

"As for that thing, you already have a way to obtain it! What Father God leaves for you will prove immensely useful once you touch upon the threshold of the Great Dao Realm."

"Other than that, it has no use whatsoever."

"Little one! Father God awaits the day you attain the Great Dao Realm!"

Pangu spoke calmly, without the slightest tension, as if chatting about everyday matters.

At this moment, Di Jiang's face was already filled with shock.

It was actually Father God Pangu's voice!

And Father God even knew he came from another world.

Did that not mean he might have a chance to return to his own world in the future?

Di Jiang thought of something else as well.

From Pangu's words, it was clear that he had not fallen.

He had most likely attained the Great Dao Realm.

He had transcended this world.

"Insights into the Great Dao Realm?"

Di Jiang sensed the mark within his sea of consciousness, a delighted smile appearing on his face.

Though he could not decipher it, its value was extraordinary.

Just as he was pondering this.

Tai Shang and the others exchanged glances, then swiftly fled.

Seeing this, the Ancestral Witches hurriedly said:

"Big Brother! Tai Shang and the others are leaving!"

Di Jiang said, "Let them leave! They are nothing but a pack of petty clowns!"

Tai Shang and the others, who had not gone far, staggered upon hearing this.

They fled even faster!

Di Jiang sneered disdainfully at the sight.

Then he led the Ancestral Witches back to Pangu Hall.

At the same time.

Beyond the Primordial World, within Chaos.

Inside Zixiao Palace.

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao slowly emerged.

But at this moment, a crack had appeared within that Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

Within the great hall of Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun's figure appeared. He looked at the Eye of the Heavenly Dao with gloating eyes and said:

"Heavenly Dao! You tried to steal a chicken and lost the rice instead!"

"Fortunately, Pangu helped me! Otherwise, I truly would have been completely devoured by you!"

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao said coldly:

"Hongjun! You are courting death!!!"
