Primordial: From a grain of soil to the ancestor of all paths

"No!"

"We can't rely on Fellow Daoist Taichu and the others forever!"

Even if our only outcome is complete failure, I will never give up!

After regaining her senses, Houtu still didn't hold out much hope, but her gaze gradually became more determined and resolute!

Chaos, Nuwa Palace!

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Taichu is not dead?"

"Then it's highly likely that Qinglian, Tianyan, and Yangmei are still alive."

"But how exactly did they do it?"

Despite her despair, Nuwa was able to sense through humanity that the Primordial Beginning had not perished.

She simply couldn't imagine how Tai Chu and the others had survived Tian Dao Luo Jun's terrifying attacks, given the vast difference in their strength.
"No matter what, it's a good thing that Tai Chu and the others survived!"

"We still have hope!"

Nuwa looked at him with a hint of expectation in her eyes, thinking to herself.

But she didn't intend to place all the blame on Taichu and the others.

In the time to come, Nuwa will also use various methods to resist the two demonic paths!

The deepest part of the chaotic world!

In the former Taoist temple of the Time Master!
"The Heavenly Dao's long-term plan was actually to merge Hongjun and Luohou together so that they could bear more of His power?"

"So that's how it is. No matter how strong the Heavenly Dao is, it's impossible for Him to actually fight personally!"

"Therefore, He must have a vessel that can bear His own power, just as He made Hongjun His Dao-merger in the first place!"

"However, His power is too great. Even Hongjun, with His blessing, can probably only unleash combat power comparable to the early stage of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal!"

"This is far from enough to achieve His goal, which is why He thought of merging Hongjun and Rahu together!"

"Fortunately, we arrived at this Daoist temple in advance, and under the effect of the incredibly powerful Time Daoist's left-in time Daoist, we all possessed the cultivation level of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal!"

"Let alone just Luo Jun, the vessel of the Heavenly Dao's power, even if the Heavenly Dao itself were to personally intervene, we would have nothing to fear!"

"Now, in the eyes of Heaven, we have all perished completely, so He should begin His true plan next!"

"Once we know His true plan, we can immediately return to the primordial world and turn everything around!"

"..."

After learning what had happened through the Great Dao's avatar, the main bodies of Tai Chu and the others discussed it amongst themselves.

Many of their doubts were thus resolved!

They are also prepared to return to the primordial world at any time and engage in a true final battle with the Heavenly Dao!
This side!
"hehe!"

"Tai Chu, Qing Lian, Tian Yan... you have all fallen at my hands in the end!"

"My next actions will not be hindered in any way!"

"Now I can begin my real plan!"

Luo Jun, the Heavenly Dao, who thought that Tai Chu and the others had truly perished, couldn't help but chuckle.

To be honest, even the Heavenly Dao would feel some apprehension when it thought of the miracles created in the beginning.

Only now, after He has personally killed them in the beginning, has He finally been able to put His mind at ease!

The primordial world!

"Ok?"

"This feeling is... that Tai Chu and the others have all perished, and that the Demon and Heavenly Paths have achieved final victory?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"How could the invincible Primordial Era and its followers have completely perished?"

"If even Tai Chu and the others are no match for the Heavenly Demons, what can we do?"

"Perhaps, submitting to the Demon and Heavenly Paths is the most correct choice we should make now?"

"..."

Under the covert manipulation of the Heavenly Dao, the information that Tai Chu and the others had completely perished appeared in the minds of all beings who opposed the Heavenly Dao!

It was this information that made them feel an unprecedented sense of despair!
Many prehistoric creatures simply gave up resisting!
"Humph!"

"I don't believe that the Primordial Chaos will perish completely like this!"

"Besides, does that mean we can't continue to resist even without Tai Chu and the others?"

"Even if it means death, we will never surrender to the Demon and Heavenly Paths!"

"..."

Even in this increasingly desperate atmosphere, many people among the Jie Sect, the human and demon races, and the Underworld still chose to die standing rather than kneeling!
Unfortunately, many things are simply beyond human control!
"All of you, transform into immortals and demons!"

After defeating Tai Chu and the others, Tian Dao Luo Jun demonstrated his unparalleled power to all living beings in the primordial world!
The combined "light of immortals and demons" emanated from Tiandao Luojun and quickly spread throughout the entire prehistoric world!
At this moment, whether they were already possessed by demons or other primordial beings still resisting, they all entered a state of "immortal-demonization" where they simultaneously cultivated both immortal and demonic arts.

This transformation from immortal to demonic will allow the beings of the primordial world to simultaneously cultivate the immortal path from Hongjun and the demonic path from Luohou, making them even more powerful!

However, their will will also be manipulated by the will of Heaven in the process, and they will become His pawns!
Moreover, the stronger these primordial beings, transformed into immortals and demons, become, the greater the feedback they can give to the Heavenly Dao, making it even stronger.

When the beings of the primordial world continue to cultivate and improve their strength in the future, the Heavenly Dao will also be able to continuously improve itself in return!
"What happened?"

"The Heavenly Dao has merged the cultivation methods of immortals and demons together, and used this to make all living beings in the primordial world nourish Him to become stronger?"

"In that case, wouldn't we have even less hope of defeating Him?"

With the blessings of both humanity and the earth, Nuwa and Houtu were among the very few beings in the primordial world who would not be transformed into immortals or demons.

However, the despair in their hearts grew stronger!
Not only that!

"Most of the beings in the primordial world have been transformed into immortals and demons!"

"Then the next step should be the complete transformation of the immortals into demons, and even the entire chaotic world should be transformed into immortals into demons!"

After the immortals and demons transformed all living beings in the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao Luo Jun did not stop. Instead, he began to transform the entire primordial world into an immortal and demonic realm!

If successful, his own cultivation level will likely reach the level of a half-step Great Dao Realm!
It should be noted that Pangu, who once suppressed three thousand Chaos Demons and created the world, was actually at the half-step Great Dao Realm in terms of combat strength!

Not to mention that the Heavenly Dao seems to be planning to transform the entire chaotic world into a world of immortals and demons?
If successful, He will likely instantly enter the "Great Dao Realm" and become an existence on par with the Great Dao!

In the former Taoist temple of the Time Master!
"So that's it!"

"Is this the true arrangement of Heaven's Dao?"

"I never imagined that He could even do something like this?"

"Now that we know His true purpose, it's time to go back and settle everything!"

"We absolutely cannot allow the Heavenly Dao to truly reach the Great Dao Realm, otherwise even we, in our current state, would most likely be no match for it!"

"..."

After learning from the actions of several Dao avatars still remaining in the primordial world and concealing themselves through various means, Tai Chu and the others showed expressions of surprise. It could only be said that the Heavenly Dao truly lived up to its name; both its thoughts and its capabilities far exceeded their expectations!
Fortunately, Taichu and his group still possess the power to change everything!

It's not too late for everything!
"boom!"

The next moment, Tai Chu, Qing Lian, Tian Yan, and Yang Mei simultaneously activated the power of the laws of space!

Their figures also disappeared from their original positions, directly crossing the barrier of endless time and space, and returning to the chaotic world outside the primordial world!
After all, they will be engaged in a final battle with the Heavenly Dao Luo Jun and even the Heavenly Dao itself, so it is not appropriate for them to appear directly in the prehistoric world.

Otherwise, the aftershocks of the battle could destroy the primordial world, which would be terrible!

Even with their current cultivation level, they could restore the Primordial Heavenly Dao to its original state, even if it were completely destroyed!

"what?"

"Tai Chu, Qing Lian, Tian Yan, Yang Mei, you're still alive?"

"And your cultivation levels... how is this possible?"

"..."

Tiandao Luojun sensed the return of Taichu and the others immediately and appeared in front of them instantly, with an incredulous expression on his face.

When he sensed the current cultivation levels of Tai Chu and the others, he was even more shocked than before!
"Tai Chu and the other Daoists didn't die, they've returned?"

"Their cultivation levels have actually reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm of Hunyuan Taiji?"

"The strongest Fellow Daoist of the Primordial Beginning has even reached the peak of the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

“How on earth do they do that?”

Houtu and Nuwa both showed expressions of disbelief after sensing the return of Taichu and the others, as well as their cultivation levels!
In fact, if Taichu and the others had simply not perished, they wouldn't have been too shocked.

But just a short time ago, Tai Chu hadn't even reached the level of a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet in the blink of an eye, he had already stepped into the peak of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, neither Houtu nor Nuwa would have believed it!
"Great!"

"The beings of the primordial world are saved!"

After regaining their senses, Houtu and Nuwa were overjoyed!
Tai Chu, whose cultivation level was not even that of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, was able to cross two major realms and contend with beings at the Hunyuan Taiji Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Now that Tai Chu has already reached the peak of the Hunyuan Taiji Da Luo Jinxian realm, he should also be able to cross a major realm and contend with beings at the peak of the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm, right?
While Qinglian, Tianyan, and Yangmei's improvements weren't as significant as Taichu's, they still made considerable progress.

With their combined forces with Tai Chu, they do indeed have a very high chance of completely defeating Tian Dao Luo Jun!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"What exactly did you do to achieve such a significant improvement in such a short period of time?"

"Fake, this must be fake!"

Luo Jun, the Heavenly Dao, let out a frantic roar.

He was just about to begin the final plan when such a huge change occurred?

How could he possibly accept this?
"Ah!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

"Heavenly Dao Luo Jun, and Heavenly Dao itself, you shall await your defeat!"

Tai Chu and the others sneered and spoke with great confidence.

"I don't believe it!"

"So what if you all possess the cultivation level of a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal?"

"I will definitely defeat you!"

"Die, all of you!"

Luo Jun of the Heavenly Dao could not give up so easily. Without hesitation, he unleashed his strongest power and attacked Tai Chu and the others together!
"boom!"

In an instant, a power that had reached the limit of the Hunyuan Wuji Dalu Golden Immortal Realm and was close to the half-step Great Dao Realm was released from Tiandao Luojun, causing Houtu and Nuwa to change their expressions drastically!
That's right. With the backing of all living beings in the primordial world transforming into immortals and demons, the Heavenly Dao has reached the half-step Great Dao realm!
The Heavenly Dao Luo Jun, who bears a portion of His power, is already able to unleash the power at the limit level of the Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian realm!
"Let me test just how strong you really are now?"

Seeing this, Tai Chu took a step forward and threw a punch without any fancy moves!
"boom!"

The next moment, a power that seemed to have fused with countless laws of the Great Dao suddenly burst out from Tai Chu's fist!

"boom!"

"Long!"

"Long!"

With a deafening roar that echoed throughout the entire chaotic world, the power unleashed by Tiandao Luojun vanished instantly, and even he himself suffered considerable external and internal injuries!
"how is this possible?"

"My full-force attack was actually blocked by your punch?"

The look of disbelief on Tiandao Luojun's face grew even more intense!
"What's so strange about this?"

"I walk the path of proving the Dao through force; every punch I throw simultaneously contains the power of the three thousand Great Dao Laws!"

"Isn't it only natural that we can achieve this level of skill?"

Tai Chu then spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world!

"it's not finished yet!"

Heaven was unwilling to accept defeat so easily.

"boom!"

Soon, cracks appeared on Tiandao Luojun's body, but he also unleashed a terrifying aura comparable to that of a half-step Great Dao Realm expert!
Clearly, the Heavenly Dao is allowing Luo Jun to temporarily possess the power of his original form at the cost of the complete destruction of the Heavenly Dao itself!

After this battle, regardless of who wins or loses, Tiandao Luojun will completely disappear.

But before he disappeared, he was a genuine half-step Great Dao Realm expert!
"Ah!"

"Do you really think you can defeat me like this?"

I'll show you true despair!

Upon seeing this, Tai Chu sneered and summoned the Chaos Treasure, the "World-Destroying Millstone"!
"boom!"

An unprecedented and terrifying destructive power erupted from the Great Millstone of Annihilation!

The entire chaotic world seemed to be on the verge of complete destruction!

"No!"

Tiandao Luojun only had time to utter a voice of unwillingness before he was completely annihilated by this destructive force!

Not only that!

The destructive power released by the Great Millstone of Annihilation went even further, destroying the Heavenly Dao itself!

"it's over!"

A smile appeared on Tai Chu's lips!
With a casual wave of her hand, Qinglian restored all the primordial beings that had been transformed into immortals and demons to normal!
In the time that followed, without the Heavenly Dao, the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws returned to the primordial world!

All living beings in the primordial world could then prove their Dao through a single Great Dao Law, or even through force!

As time went by, Tai Chu and the others gradually entered the realm of the Great Dao and went together to another chaotic world!
