Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 144, Section 143: Usurping the Dao Lord's Attempt to Refine a Chaos Treasure
An unparalleled phantom appeared, carrying the aura of annihilation, its power far surpassing that of the King of Calamities; it wielded its hand as a blade.

Ji Yuan discovered that his past, present, and future were all enveloped by this hand chop, leaving him with no way to avoid it or move, and he could only withstand the blow.

Ji Yuan was not afraid at all. He had already figured out what it was, and that being would surely follow closely behind.

As expected, an axe-like light that stretched across endless time and spanned countless years appeared, shattering the illusory image.

All laws withered and all paths were crushed, creating an immeasurable, boundless void within the chaos, with endless void turbulence sweeping across.

Ji Yuan revealed a solemn expression. He was still far from being good enough. It was truly incredible that these two phantoms, manifested in the future, could still unleash such power after being suppressed by endless time and space.

"Is that the great god Pangu? And who is the other one?" A huge question mark seemed to be above Kunpeng's head.

Only then did he realize the true value of being a pioneer.

Even the slightest leak of his aura was enough to send him to the brink of death.

Looking at Pangu is like a mayfly gazing at the Dao; how insignificant he is.

Kunpeng became obsessed, his body began to disintegrate, but he felt nothing, deeply immersed in the insights gained from the battle just now.

"Wake up!" Ji Yuan shouted, pulling Kunpeng back.

"What am I doing? Pfft—"

Kunpeng spat out a mouthful of blood, which vanished the instant it left his body.

"What happened to me? I almost died?"

Kunpeng was still shaken. He had only glanced deeply at a trace of the Dao essence in their battle, and it almost plunged him into eternal silence. It was terrifying.

He glanced at Ji Yuan furtively, lamenting in his heart, "Why, why am I so weak? I don't even have the right to face a battle."

Ji Yuan glanced at Kunpeng and comforted him, "You're too weak. In the future, if you encounter this situation, you should shut down your six senses and become imperceptible, so as not to kill yourself."

Kunpeng stroked his newly grown arm and sat quietly to the side, ignoring Ji Yuan completely.

Seeing Kunpeng's utterly dejected look, Ji Yuan laughed heartily: "Take a look at this thing."

After he finished speaking, a wisp of primordial energy appeared in his hand.

Kunpeng turned his head and froze on the spot.

"This...this is for me?" Kunpeng's voice choked with emotion.

"Yes, the Primordial World needs more Dao Provers. Those who haven't proven their Dao can't participate in the upcoming battles. This is both an opportunity and a calamity," Ji Yuan reminded Kunpeng, lest he be careless.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Kunpeng quickly took the primordial purple energy, the light in his eyes almost solidifying.

The Primordial Purple Qi, which he had schemed to obtain for several eons but failed to acquire, was obtained today just like that. Kunpeng almost shed tears of blood.

I, Kunpeng, am finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel!
"Don't use it yet, let me heal your injuries first."

Ji Yuan placed his palm on Kunpeng's shoulder, and streams of emerald green healing light flowed into his body, instantly restoring his terrifying injuries completely.

Kunpeng was secretly shocked: "How exactly did Ji Yuan cultivate? How can he know everything, be proficient in everything, and excel at everything? It's really outrageous."

“Alright, you’re cured. Go cultivate in the Primordial True Realm. I’ll take care of things here,” Ji Yuan said.

"it is good!"

Kunpeng left only the word "good" and instantly flew back to the prehistoric world. It was too dangerous outside the prehistoric world; the sooner it went back, the safer it would be.

After Kunpeng left, Ji Yuan's expression turned solemn, and he asked, "Senior Wuliang, the battle between the Great God Pangu and the will of the chaotic universe in endless space and time can actually reflect reality, and the will of the chaotic universe even wants to kill me."

Ji Yuan was still shaken. If it weren't for the future Pangu God blocking this attack for him, he would have had to resort to the method of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own. This level of existence was truly terrifying.

Wuliang Kun sighed, "Otherwise, do you think the Chaos Demon God could stop Pangu from creating the world? Let me tell you simply, Pangu sees the Chaos Demon God as you see the Kunpeng—a worthless piece of trash. His greatest opponent will always be the will of the chaotic universe."

“However…” Wuliang Kun changed the subject again, “The fact that the will of the chaotic universe can manifest its methods and sense you is not a good sign.”

"What do you mean?" Ji Yuan asked.

"At that time, Pangu used incredible means. Theoretically, the will of the chaotic universe could not find an anchor point to return to the present world, let alone attack you."

“But now he can not only make a move, but there are even faint signs of his return. I think he left behind some kind of method as his anchor point. When you get to the Chaos Sea, you must carefully investigate the Chaos Sea and the Primordial Sea. The method is most likely here,” Wuliang Kun instructed.

"Alright, thank you very much, senior."

After thanking him, Ji Yuan looked at the endless void before him.

"This void may be difficult to traverse, senior."

This is a mark left by the aftershocks of the battle between the Great God Pangu and the will of the chaotic universe, which Ji Yuan cannot repair even if he wants to.

"There's no other way but to cross it by force. If we take a detour, it will take much longer. It seems safer to get to the Chaos Sea sooner rather than later."

Wuliang Kun said, "There's nothing we can do about it."

“Then I will lead the way; you only need to drag me along.”

Ji Yuan said, "The only solution now is to quell the turbulent currents while simultaneously dragging the prehistoric world along."

He stood atop the head of the Boundless Kun, his hand condensing a divine power called the Primordial Qi Returning to One Hand, which possessed the power to unify all energies and transform all things into one.

With a single palm strike, countless void currents were silenced. Wuliang Kun quickly exerted its power and swiftly advanced towards the Chaos Sea.

After a series of back-and-forth battles, it took a full three eons to finally cross the boundaries of the void turbulence.

So Ji Yuan returned to the primordial wilderness to take charge and wait for the right opportunity.

Ordinary days are always so short. Ji Yuan and Kong Xuan had only been exploring the Dao of Yin and Yang for ten thousand years when a violent tremor came from the primordial world. At the same time, the voice of Wuliang Kun reached their ears: "A calamity beast has been born, come quickly!"

Ji Yuan dressed, rubbed Kong Xuan's head, and leaped lightly to the edge of the primordial wilderness.

Countless monstrous beasts swept towards the primordial world, their numbers and strengths even greater than before.

Looking at these monstrous beasts, Ji Yuan didn't care at all. He hadn't just been indulging in a life of pleasure for the past ten thousand years. He already had a way to get rid of these miscellaneous monstrous beasts.

"Boundless senior, just charge forward!"

Ji Yuan exuded unparalleled confidence.

"it is good!"

Without a doubt, Wuliang Kun gathered all his strength and crashed into the countless calamity beasts.

At the same time, a black hole appeared in Ji Yuan's hand. He pushed it out, and instantly countless black holes completely enveloped the Primordial World and the Boundless Kun. All the evil beasts were sucked into another world by the black holes.

Ji Yuan's inner world.

Ji Yuan had this idea as early as the last invasion of the monstrous beasts. These monstrous beasts were created by combining a wisp of the chaotic universe's origin with cosmic impurities. Born from chaos, they returned to chaos after death. By absorbing this wisp of origin, his inner world devoured, decomposed, and fused it all. He obtained the pure chaotic origin while preventing the monstrous beasts from being reborn again.

Incidentally, Ji Yuan also had another idea: since the Chaos Treasure was born from chaos and is itself a manifestation of the Great Dao, could he use the origin of chaos as the main element, supplemented by various treasures, and incorporate the Great Dao of a Primordial Golden Immortal into it, and then artificially create the Chaos Treasure?

Everything depends on how much of the primordial chaos can be obtained in the end.

Ji Yuan stood atop the Boundless Kun, hands clasped behind his back. Countless black holes connected to his body scattered, devouring the calamity beasts at an ever-increasing speed.

This method startled even Wuliang Kun: "Ji Yuan, what are you doing collecting these calamity beasts?"

Ji Yuan laughed and said, "Senior, I wish to fuse with its primordial chaos to create a supreme treasure of chaos!"

Upon hearing this, Wuliang Kun was startled and advised, "Do you know that every Chaos Treasure is actually the ultimate manifestation of a Great Dao? Having only the origin but without the Great Dao cannot create a Chaos Treasure."

Wuliang Kun was very knowledgeable about the creation of Chaos Treasures, after all, he also possessed a Chaos Treasure and had personally witnessed its creation.

The strength of the Great Dao and the origin of chaos are both indispensable, but the most crucial factor is the degree of comprehension of the Great Dao, which is of paramount importance.

Ji Yuan smiled lightly: "Senior, in our primordial world, are there still a few who can be called Dao Masters in their understanding of the Great Dao? I think there is an opportunity to create a Chaos Treasure."

This wasn't Ji Yuan being blindly confident. The Great Dao contained within the Chaos Treasure was actually comparable in essence to that of a Primordial Golden Immortal. The key lay in the word "Dao Master".

In this vast universe, a single Great Dao can only have one "Dao Master," which, as the name suggests, is the master of a single Dao.

This "Dao Master" is a Primordial Golden Immortal on a Great Dao, and only one Primordial Golden Immortal can be achieved on a Great Dao.

Therefore, the struggle for the Great Dao has always been a matter of life and death. There can only be one place on a path, so how could those who seek the Dao not strive for it?

The transformation of fate into ferocious beasts actually had both good and bad aspects for those seeking the Dao in the primordial world.

The downside is the massive war that will rage on in the future, a struggle for the fate of the primordial world.

The advantage is that the position of the Primordial Golden Immortal has been given up. If three thousand primordial beings can prove their Dao through a different Great Dao, the power of the ferocious beasts will be greatly weakened.

If there is a capable person among them who can evolve a Great Dao to a level that surpasses the original Chaos Demon God, then they can take over the position of "Dao Lord" that was occupied by the Chaos Demon God.

The three thousand Chaos Demon Gods were born as "Dao Lords," and even though they perished, they still used some means to limit the position of "Dao Lord."

Simply put, he could attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal status through his own path, but he would no longer have the title of "Dao Master".

This was also a contingency plan left by the Chaos Demon God for his return. Both were Grand Luo Golden Immortals of Hunyuan, one had the title of "Dao Lord" and the other did not, so the former naturally had absolute suppressive power.

To become a "Dao Lord," one must first attain enlightenment that rivals or even surpasses that of a Chaos Demon God to sense its location and seize its position.

Now that the demon gods have transformed into ferocious beasts, it has provided great convenience to the prehistoric world. As long as one's understanding is comparable to or even slightly lower than that of the Chaos Demon God, one can easily bring the "Dao Lord" into one's possession.

After all, the Chaos Demon God is currently in a state of "death," and has virtually no control over the "Dao Lord."

This also became the greatest opportunity for all living beings in the primordial world to attain enlightenment.

"Do you intend to take over the position of Dao Lord?"

"That's what Wuliang Kun asked."

“Yes, the Demon God is powerless to control the Dao Lord, so why not let us refine the Chaos Treasures, so that they can see the might of our Primordial World.” Ji Yuan’s eyes were filled with ambition. If possible, he wanted to give each of them a Chaos Treasure.

Wuliang Kun nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "This might actually work. The three thousand Chaos Demon Gods are accompanied by three thousand Chaos Treasures, which originally had the influence of the position of Dao Lord. If we seize them and then refine them with pure Chaos Origin, we can truly artificially create 'accompanying' Chaos Treasures."

Wuliang Kun's eyes gradually brightened, and he exclaimed, "Hey kid, you really are a genius."

"When those old friends wake up, they'll probably be furious."

Thinking about the future emergence of ferocious beasts, the consciousness of those chaotic demon gods being stuffed into one body, and the "Dao Lord" being usurped, I'm afraid my Dao heart will become unbalanced.

"Senior, you flatter me. I was just thinking of some solutions for the sake of the prehistoric world," Ji Yuan said modestly.

Wuliang Kun shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to such an overly humble person.

These monstrous beasts had no consciousness; they simply attacked Ji Yuan relentlessly, only to be completely devoured by the black hole and transformed into pure essence.

These devouring beasts, one after another, actually lasted for three eons.

The hatred that the chaotic universe's will harbored for Pangu truly opened Ji Yuan's eyes.

One side wants to break through the chaos, while the other wants to preserve its own origin; they are indeed irreconcilable contradictions.

However, no Beast King appeared this time.

Ji Yuan estimated that the origin of the Calamity Beast King was far greater than that of ordinary Calamity Beasts, and he was somewhat hoping to see a few Calamity Beast Kings.

By projecting consciousness into the inner world, five formless and shapeless chaotic-colored, mysterious entities floated within, radiating an aura of all-encompassing power.

"Then, Boundless Senior, I will return to the Primordial World to attempt to forge a Chaos Treasure."

Ji Yuan bid farewell to Wuliang Kun and hurriedly arrived at the Primordial Sky-Reaching Jianmu Tree.

Dozens of Dao Proving cultivators looked at the five chaotic objects in Ji Yuan's hand with surprise and asked what they were.

Ji Yuan slowly recounted his origins.

"Good! As expected of my disciple! Well done! You have spirit!" The Tongtian Sect Leader, as always, praised and supported Ji Yuan unconditionally after hearing about his plan.

"Excellent, excellent, this idea is indeed very reasonable!" Yuanshi Tianzun also praised.

Looking at those five pure Chaos Origins, he was extremely envious, as he was also extremely skilled in the art of weapon crafting.

"Who would like to give it a try first?"

Ji Yuan asked.

Currently, only the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Jieyin have usurped the position of "Dao Lord".

Laozi is the master of the Dao of Yin and Yang and Taiji.

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable is the master of the Dao of Limitlessness.

The Tongtian Sect Leader is the master of the Way of Slaughter and Conquest.

Nuwa is the master of the Way of Creation.

The guide is the master of the Way of Reality and Illusion.

"I will do it. It is my disciple's method, and I, as his master, will not shirk my responsibility to test it!" said the Tongtian Sect Leader.

Then, a crown that seemed to embody all killing intent slowly fell into Ji Yuan's hands.

Refining the Chaos Treasure, Begin!
