Death and Pangu Opening the Heavens

Death and Pangu Opening the Heavens

Yuan Tian was an orphan who had never seen his parents and had no idea who they were. Rumors said that shortly after his birth, he was taken in and raised by an elderly couple.

At the time, the old couple raising him was already over sixty years old, and they passed away one after another before Yuan Tian reached adulthood. Fortunately, the couple was relatively well-off and left Yuan Tian an inheritance of over a million, so he did not starve to death. On the contrary, his life was quite comfortable.

As a child, Yuan Tian received guidance from an expert and practiced martial arts. His greatest hobby in life was martial arts training, and aside from that, he was a otaku—a qualified otaku, a top-tier otaku. Therefore, just in terms of physical skill, he could be considered a super-first-rate expert in this Age of the End of Law. Of course, alongside being an expert, he was also a top-tier otaku.

Today was bright and sunny with a high sky and crisp autumn air—a good day for practicing martial arts. Yuan Tian was doing just that, because he was currently at the critical moment of breaking through to the legendary Golden Core Dao Realm.

Yet the bright and sunny sky unexpectedly produced a once-in-a-millennium Nine Stars Alignment. The power during Yuan Tian's breakthrough actually drew out the stellar power generated by the Nine Stars Alignment, causing the stellar power to produce a black hole around him. Thus, Yuan Tian watched as a book smashed toward him from within the black hole. Being right at the critical moment of his breakthrough, Yuan Tian had no way to dodge at all, and so the wretched Yuan Tian was knocked unconscious by a book just like that. Being knocked unconscious was one thing, but he was actually sucked straight into the black hole—a death without a clear cause.

...The legendary dividing line...

Before the heaven and earth were split, within a hazy, murky space, there was no heaven, no earth, and not a sliver of vitality. Silence—everything was so silent, and yet so oppressive. This murky space was called Primordial Chaos.

Years were not counted within Primordial Chaos. It was unknown how many ages had passed; perhaps an instant, perhaps ten thousand years. A sudden, deafening roar burst from the slumbering Primordial Chaos, like a clap of spring thunder instantly echoing across the Primordial Chaos Space. Immediately, the violent aura throughout the entire Primordial Chaos churned and scattered endlessly.

"Rumble... Rumble..."

Following these deep, rumbling sounds of thunder, the entire Primordial Chaos began to seethe. Strands of hazy Primordial Chaos Qi coiled and devoured one another, the Primordial Chaos Qi being ground to pieces only to regenerate. Gradually, at the center where countless strands of Primordial Chaos Qi intertwined, terrifying black holes began to form. Endless strands of Primordial Chaos Qi were swallowed by the black holes one after another, and the entire Primordial Chaos Space tended toward fragmentation.

"Crack!"

With a bolt of clear thunder, the entire Primordial Chaos Space finally could not endure, exploding apart in an instant. A terrifying fissure began to appear within the originally hazy Primordial Chaos; wherever the fissure passed, black holes and Primordial Chaos Qi were ground to pieces and disassembled. From within the fissure, blinding rays of light like sparks of fire began to spread into the Primordial Chaos. Wherever the fissure passed, the shattered Primordial Chaos Qi either rose or sank.

As the fissure grew larger, the range occupied by the light grew broader as well. The fissure was like a barrier whose curtain was pulled back, the light growing ever more blinding. In the distant horizon, a sturdy giant nearly a million zhang tall held a giant axe in both hands, his entire body radiating ten thousand paths of light deep into the Primordial Chaos. He kept his eyes wide open, and the previously plain giant axe instantly emitted a piercing cyan glow. The giant was stripped to the waist, an archaic giant axe in his hands within the Primordial Chaos chopping and hacking, or coiling and binding; wherever it passed, strands of Primordial Chaos Qi were torn to shreds. This towering giant was none other than Pangu, who cleaved open the heavens and the earth.

After a magnificent axe trail, the entire Primordial Chaos began to shake, and a violent aura sliced through the Primordial Chaos along the wake of the axe. Instantly, an opening was torn in the Primordial Chaos Space, and the surrounding aura surged frantically toward that rift. The giant continued to swing his massive axe tirelessly, when suddenly, thousands of monsters emerged from the surroundings. Each and every one of them was bizarre and eccentric—bull-headed and tiger-bodied with a pair of wings unfurled on their backs, all taking on different shapes. Baring fangs and brandishing claws, they all lunged at the sturdy giant.

"Hahaha!"

"Opening the heavens is a tribulation, and you Chaos Deities and Demons are precisely the ones to meet this tribulation." With that, he swung his giant axe. Every single swing brought forth a flash of lightning, and after every flash of lightning, a vast surge of power poured out. The surrounding Chaos Deities and Demons had no power to resist whatsoever, dissolving as the vast power surged forth and turning into dust.

"Roar!"

Seeing that the surrounding Chaos Deities and Demons had turned to dust, and looking at the speed of the heaven-cleaving, Pangu seemed unsatisfied with the slow spread of the fissure. With a heaven-shaking roar, he tossed the archaic giant axe in his hand into the air. The giant axe exploded with a boom, transforming into a diagram, a bell, and a banner—none other than the Three Treasures of Open Heaven: the Taiji Diagram, the Primordial Chaos Bell, and the Pangu Banner. Shrouded in manifold rays of colorful auspicious light, the Three Treasures of Open Heaven fell into Pangu's hands. He held the Primordial Chaos Bell in his left hand and the Pangu Banner in his right, stepping upon the Taiji Diagram, his entire body encircled by mysterious light—truly extraordinary.

Pangu held the chaos-colored giant banner, chopping and cleaving or slaughtering within the shattered Primordial Chaos. Thus, one hundred and eight thousand years passed, and the shattered Primordial Chaos Qi was almost entirely shredded, either rising or sinking. The entire shattered Primordial Chaos Space bore no resemblance whatsoever to its previous hazy appearance.

The Primordial Chaos was shattered, and the rough outline of heaven and earth had already taken shape. Seeing the fire, earth, wind, and water raging between the newly formed heaven and earth, with strands of Primordial Chaos Qi spilling out from the edges of heaven and earth from time to time, Pangu sank the Taiji Diagram into the earth, forming a golden bridge connecting heaven and earth amidst the cosmos. The golden bridge emanated two kinds of auras, Yin and Yang, gradually calming the chaotic aura between heaven and earth.

A series of long, grand bell chimes resounded across this heaven and earth, and the aura wherever the chimes reached grew completely tranquil, finally existing stably within this heaven and earth.

Only after finishing all this did a trace of a smile ease onto Pangu's face.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out from nowhere, and the originally pacified heaven and earth abruptly collapsed at one corner. Unable to bear the crushing impact of the Primordial Chaos Qi, heaven and earth began to converge toward the middle.

"Hah!"

Seeing such a drastic change in heaven and earth, Pangu's expression could not help but shift as well. Following this, he executed the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation divine ability, and his towering, million-zhang-tall Pangu True Body suddenly surged, growing larger and larger.

"Boom!"

The Pangu True Body expanded to a height of tens of millions of zhang, meeting the collapsing heaven, his feet treading upon the earth and his palms holding up the firmament. Still, the Pangu True Body did not cease its growth, and heaven and earth were continuously pushed further apart due to the growth of the Pangu True Body.

One hundred and eight thousand years later, Pangu's true body, which had reached a height of hundreds of billions of zhang, finally stopped growing, while his divine power had already been completely exhausted.

The Primordial Wilderness had already taken shape. Having experienced the opening of the heavens, Pangu's cultivation realm advanced greatly, and his heart possessed a natural spiritual comprehension.

As it turned out, cleaving open the heavens and the earth was Pangu's mission. Mister Pangu, born within the Primordial Chaos wielding the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact, the Pangu Axe, and the Creation Divine Artifact, the Creation Jade Disc, was the destined destroyer of the Primordial Chaos.

The Pangu Axe was the Heaven-Opening Divine Artifact, containing within it the Heaven-Opening Dao and the Destruction Dao, while the Creation Jade Disc contained the Three Thousand Great Powers, granting Pangu the capacity for creation.

As the person who cleaved open the heavens and the earth, since he himself mastered the Creation Law, it was inevitable that he would have to perish his body in order to evolve the world's living beings and myriad things, receiving the prostrations and worship of all things in the world after death.

Pangu's mind was clear, and a bitter smile played in his heart for a moment; divine power could not contend with the numbers of destiny. Yet even though Pangu knew he would surely die by transforming his body into myriad things, in order for the world he had cleaved open to possess flourishing vitality rather than remaining like the Primordial Chaos, Pangu had already made his decision in his heart.

Overlooking the boundless world beneath his feet, Pangu let out a roar: "Great Dao above, today Clan Pangu is willing to use my own body to create all things! Transform! Transform! Transform!" Pangu's expression instantly froze, and his vitality was utterly extinguished.

Upon Pangu's death, the breath he exhaled turned into spring breezes and clouds in the sky; his voice became the thunder in the firmament; his left eye became the sun, illuminating the earth; his right eye became the bright moon, bringing light to the night; his countless strands of hair became stars, dotting the beautiful night sky; his blood became surging, unceasing rivers, lakes, and seas; his muscles became thousands of miles of fertile plains for all creatures to survive upon; his bones became trees, flowers, and grass for people to admire; his meridians became roads; his teeth became stones and metals for people to use; his marrow became bright pearls for people to collect; his sweat became rain and dew, nourishing the young crops. When Pangu fell, his head transformed into Eastern Peak Mount Tai, his feet transformed into Western Peak Mount Hua, his left arm transformed into Southern Peak Mount Heng, his right arm transformed into Northern Peak Mount Heng, and his abdomen transformed into Central Peak Mount Song.

Pangu transformed all things in heaven and earth with great love. At the moment of his death, ten thousand zhang of Black-Yellow Qi and endless Hongmeng Purple Qi descended from heaven and earth, while the Great Dao also bestowed boundless Merit. Because Pangu perished, one portion of this Merit Qi combined with seven portions of Black-Yellow Qi to form the Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, the Heaven-Earth Black-Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. As a defensive supreme treasure, it stood above his head, impervious to all spells, leaving him virtually invincible against peers of the same level.

Meanwhile, half a portion of Merit Qi combined with three portions of Black-Yellow Qi and endless Hongmeng Purple Qi to form the Acquired Merit Supreme Treasure, the Primordial Measuring Ruler. It was the premier acquired offensive supreme treasure, its offensive might second only to the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Pangu Banner, and it was in no way inferior to innate supreme treasures when it came to suppressing fortune.

Moreover, three Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures flew over from heaven and earth, absorbing half a portion of the golden light of merit.

At this moment, three Primordial Spirits and twelve drops of vital blood burst forth from Pangu's battered physical body, becoming the Mystic Sect Three Pure Ones and the Witch Clan Twelve Ancestral Shamans that would later shake the Primordial Wilderness with their might.

The three Primordial Spirits each occupied one portion of merit, and the twelve drops of vital blood also absorbed three portions of merit, while the remaining two layers of merit melted into the newly opened heaven and earth.

Pangu's three Primordial Spirits each absorbed one portion of merit, combining with the clear Qi of heaven. Among them, the largest portion of the Primordial Spirit rolled up the Heaven-Earth Black-Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and escaped together with the other two Primordial Spirits.

Pangu's twelve drops of vital blood absorbed the merit and sank into the earth, disappearing from sight.

Subsequently, the two Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasures—the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner—along with the Primordial Measuring Ruler also vanished, while the Primordial Chaos Bell flew straight toward the Sun Star, which had been transformed from Pangu's left eye.

Straight away, Pangu's shattered corpse completely lost its vitality, transforming into Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven and earth. He used Mount Buzhou to prop up the world he had carved out, leaving behind an indomitable, majestic mountain range for future generations.

Word has it that less than ten thousand years after Pangu transformed into the earth, a black hole appeared in a certain part of the tranquil Primordial Wilderness Eastern Sea. After a book emerged from the black hole, the black hole vanished once more. The Primordial Wilderness remained just as peaceful, as if that black hole had never appeared at all.
