After another week, updates would resume normally, with extra chapters as well.

This was a story I had wanted to write for a long time. When I first read about the Primordial Era, I felt that humanity had it rather rough. Humanity was the protagonist of heaven and earth in the Primordial Era, yet the Primordial Era was not led by humanity. Humanity did not even have a place in it.

So I decided to write this book and portray humanity as I believed it should have been in the Primordial Era. Feel free to give it a read. If your thoughts align with mine, then let us fulfill a small dream together and let the Primordial Era follow our own vision for once.

This book's current results are average, but I will persist until I finish it. My goal for first-day subscriptions is five hundred. It is not high, and I hope to reach it.

If first-day subscriptions exceed five hundred, I will add one extra chapter for every additional ten subscriptions later on.

There are also rewards. For a single reward of five thousand coins, I will add one extra chapter, with no upper limit, until the story is complete.

There are monthly votes as well. For every thousand monthly votes, I will add three extra chapters.

That was about it. I hoped I would have the chance to add more chapters.

I still owed one chapter at the moment, from this book's first reward. Once this week ended, I would add it.

I would temporarily release three chapters today. I would write the rest after finishing my work tonight and release them around one in the morning. Tomorrow, all four chapters would be updated together!

Thank you all for your support!

Lastly, please support the first-day subscriptions!

Thank you, everyone!

"Slash!"

Pangu's Phantom in the void swung its axe once more. Vast axe light swept across the heavens. Eastern Emperor Taiyi had relied on a Magic Treasure to forcibly take the previous strike, and his mana had yet to gather again. His expression shifted slightly as he immediately forced up his mana. Mysterious light shone once again from the Chaos Bell above his head.

Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire revolved around it, directly freezing the chaos within hundreds of millions of miles. Five-Colored Radiance illuminated the heavens, blocking every attack from the surroundings.

The vast axe light, enough to split heaven and earth, crossed the void. The Five-Colored Radiance was instantly torn apart, and the Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire surrounding the Chaos Bell were all cleaved open with a single axe stroke.

The axe light struck directly against the Chaos Bell, sending it flying away. The Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire barrier protecting Eastern Emperor Taiyi was also torn open, and the sharp axe light slashed straight at him!

A Small Emerald Green Lamp appeared above Eastern Emperor Taiyi's head. Emerald Green Flames burned atop the lamp, and endless emerald light swept out, shielding him within it.

Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure—the Emerald Light Two Principles Lamp!

The axe light swept past, instantly breaking through the emerald radiance in the void. The Emerald Light Two Principles Lamp was knocked away, and the axe light carved a bloody wound directly across Eastern Emperor Taiyi's body!

However, after being weakened by the Chaos Bell and the Emerald Light Two Principles Lamp, the remaining force was not strong. It was merely a minor injury.

At this sight, the Great Divine Powers of the Primordial Era changed expression drastically, staring uncertainly at that terrifying figure in the void.

In just two moves, it had broken through the Chaos Bell's defense!

The Pangu True Body formed by the Witch Clan was actually this powerful?

That was the Chaos Bell, an Innate Supreme Treasure, a Magic Treasure used by Saints. Even though Eastern Emperor Taiyi lacked sufficient mana and could not fully unleash the Chaos Bell's power, it was still an Innate Supreme Treasure. Below the Saints, no one should have been capable of breaking through it.

Anyone who could break through the Chaos Bell had to possess Saint-level power.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi mobilized his mana and temporarily suppressed the Dao Charm of Strength that had invaded his body.

His expression was exceedingly grim. Pangu's Phantom—the Witch Clan actually had such a method.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi could state with certainty that the force behind Pangu's Phantom's attacks had absolutely surpassed the Quasi-Saint realm. It was Saint-level power.

For the first axe strike, he had stirred all the mana in his body and pushed the Chaos Bell with all his strength, only barely managing to block it. Even so, the Chaos Bell had been sent flying.

The second axe strike had directly shattered the Chaos Bell's defense. The Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure, the Emerald Light Two Principles Lamp, had been utterly useless before such an attack and was sent flying at once.

Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasures were already the finest Magic Treasures in the Primordial Era, the strongest among Innate Spirit Treasures. Even among Great Divine Powers who roamed the Primordial Era, very few possessed an Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure.

Ancestor Minghe's Yuan Tu and Abi swords, as well as the Twelve-Grade Karma Red Lotus, were all Magic Treasures of this grade. Kunpeng did not even possess a single one.

Such treasures could display immense power even in battles between peak Quasi-Saints.

One Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure had its defense broken by axe light that had already been weakened. One could only imagine how terrifying the Heaven-Splitting Axe Light truly was.

Pangu's True Body in the void did not pause in the slightest. The illusory Heaven-Opening Divine Axe in its hand swung again, and vast axe light capable of Heaven Opening Earth Splitting streaked through the sky. Everything in its path turned into nothingness as it slashed directly toward Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

At this moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's defenses were at their weakest. The Innate Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell had been knocked away, while the Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure Emerald Light Two Principles Lamp had been sent flying. Eastern Emperor Taiyi no longer had any powerful protective Spirit Treasure on him.

Yet this third axe light was no different from the previous two.

Having lost the Chaos Bell's protection, Eastern Emperor Taiyi felt a chill run through his entire body as the axe descended. That sharp aura capable of tearing apart everything made him feel as though countless sharp swords were piercing his body.

Boom!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi stirred the mana throughout his body, and resplendent golden flames rose from him. Unlike the crimson-gold True Sun Fire from before, the flames on his body this time contained very little crimson. They were almost entirely golden.

The moment the golden flames appeared, blazing heat surged out. The void twisted instantly, and even space itself melted beneath those terrifying flames!

The crimson flames were the True Sun Fire.

The golden flames were the Great Sun Golden Flame!

The flames surrounding Eastern Emperor Taiyi had now drawn extremely close to the Great Sun Golden Flame!

Among Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire, the Great Sun Golden Flame represented the primal spirit of fire. It was one of the Four Great Chaos Primal Spirits!

Yet before that axe light capable of Heaven Opening Earth Splitting, even these blazing Great Sun Golden Flames were insufficient. Though Eastern Emperor Taiyi was enveloped in Great Sun Golden Flames, the sharpness capable of tearing apart everything still made his entire body turn cold.

The Great Sun Golden Flame excelled at attack and slaughter, but it was poor at defense. With the Chaos Bell, Eastern Emperor Taiyi had cultivated countless divine abilities, but never a defensive one.

"Primordial River-Luo Great Array!"

Just as the axe light was about to strike Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Di Jun's voice rang out. The Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure River Diagram and the Ultimate Innate Spirit Treasure Luo Book floated above his head. Two profound Dao charms met in the void. Heaven and earth spun as a mysterious great array took shape in an instant.

Within the great array, endless mountains rose and fell. Sun, moon, and stars hung in the sky. Rivers, lakes, and seas spread across heaven and earth, while the vast land stretched without end, like an entirely new world.

Vast Mysterious Yellow Light swept out and directly swallowed the axe light that pierced heaven and earth.

The axe light that reached from heaven to earth swept through. Mountains in that world shattered, rivers were severed, and the earth split apart. The entire world seemed to have been cleaved in two by a single axe strike, shaking violently as though it could collapse at any moment.

Fortunately, it held in the end. Mysterious yellow light rippled out and directly drew Pangu's True Body into the great array.

In an instant, the great array activated. Three thousand Dao charms evolved within it, and the entire world immediately shattered into formless chaos. Then, a peerlessly domineering axe light flashed. Heaven and earth opened, and the four chaos primal spirits transformed into the Houtian Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

As they evolved, countless Dao charms spread through the air, and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans came into being.

Above the sea, divine dragons soared and coiled through the skies. At their head was a Golden Dragon of vast presence, whose terrifying aura shook heaven and earth. In the sky, countless phoenixes flew about, led by a phoenix that covered the heavens and blocked out the sun, blazing flames burning fiercely across its body. Upon the earth stood countless kirin, led by one as majestic as a mountain.

These were Ancestor Dragon, Primal Phoenix, and Primal Kirin?

The Great Divine Powers watching this battle throughout the Primordial Era stared in shock at the scene within the great array. What was going on? How had the Demon Clan summoned the phantoms of those three?

The Demon Clan was not the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, or Kirin Clan. Few members of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans had joined the Demon Clan, after all.

What kind of method was this?

How had the Demon Clan condensed the phantoms of those three?

At the same time, within the East Sea Eye, Candle Dragon's pupils suddenly contracted.

What an impressive method!

What a profound great array.

Looking at the Dragon Clan coiled across the Four Seas within the array, a trace of reminiscence flashed through Candle Dragon's eyes.

The current Dragon Clan no longer possessed its former might.

Within Immortal Volcano, a vast consciousness awakened. Blazing Nirvana True Fire burned fiercely, and immense power swept across the eight directions. Only after a long while did everything gradually settle.

Across the Primordial Era, ancient beings who had survived the Dragon-Phoenix-Kirin Calamity saw the three phantoms within the great array. Their hearts trembled, and they were filled with emotion.

The reactions throughout the Primordial Era had no effect whatsoever on the battlefield in the void.

The phantoms of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans were born and immediately roared as they charged at Pangu's Phantom in the void. For a time, enormous bodies stretched across heaven and earth, and vast pressure swept through the eight directions.

Pangu's True Body standing within the array space showed no fear at all. It raised its hand and swung another axe strike.

Rumble!

A soundless roar echoed through heaven and earth as vast axe light swept out. It was a heaven-shaking sharpness beyond description. As the axe light crossed heaven and earth, it seemed as though the entire world was split in two.

The phantoms of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans all turned to dust beneath that axe light. Even Ancestor Dragon, Primal Phoenix, and Primal Kirin at their head could not withstand it. They could not last even an instant before turning directly into dust!

Phantoms were phantoms in the end. Those three powerful beings who had once roamed the Primordial Era would never appear again.

Seeing this, the ancient beings of the Primordial Era sighed inwardly.

With a single axe strike, the densely packed phantoms of the three clans were completely slaughtered. Vast axe light swept through the world, shattering mountains, splitting the earth, churning the seas, and leaving countless cracks in the sky.

The entire world resembled a piece of porcelain on the verge of shattering, covered in cracks and ready to break into fragments at the slightest touch.

Di Jun, who controlled the array, turned pale. He stirred his mana again, drawing endless heaven and earth spiritual energy into the great array. Profound Dao charms spread out, and the sky of the array world slowly healed. The seas stabilized once more, and the mountains rose again.

Mysterious Dao charms rose, and time throughout the world suddenly accelerated. In the blink of an eye, seas became mulberry fields and stars shifted. Countless kalpas passed in a rush, and a black-robed man holding a Blood-Colored Spear appeared between heaven and earth.

The spear in the man's hand radiated a chilling baleful aura, while terrifying killing intent rose from it.

The instant this person appeared, the Great Divine Powers of the Primordial Era were stunned once again. This was Demon Ancestor Rahu!

At once, everyone formed a guess. This Primordial River-Luo Great Array likely evolved the changes of the Primordial Era, using them to form phantoms of powerful figures and slaughter enemies.

Upon Central Phoenix Mountain, red and blue mysterious light flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. He saw everything happening in the void with perfect clarity. Mysterious light surged across the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book within his mind as one powerful figure after another slowly appeared upon its pages.
