Chapter 166 Mastering the Great Dao of Space
We wholeheartedly recommend this book to you: "Swallowing the Starry Sky: Starting with the Innate God and Demon Avatar". Read it here.
The innate treasure, the World-Destroying Millstone, goes without saying. This item originally belonged to Rahu, who used it to nurture the Destruction Demon God, making it the life core of the Destruction Demon God.
Later, the Destruction God was refined by Xu Qiankun, and the World-Destroying Millstone fell into his hands.
Finally, He gave the millstone to the Five Elements Ancestor in exchange for the Five Elements Pearl, which was of great use to him.
The Five Elements Ancestor perished again during the Great Tribulation, and the treasures chose their masters. The World-Destroying Millstone returned to Rahu's hands.
Now it has fallen into Xu Qiankun's hands again.
"Looks like we're destined to meet."
Xu Qiankun smiled and casually refined the world-destroying millstone before putting it away. Then his gaze fell on the array diagram and the four flying swords.
The number one killing formation in the primordial world: the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
Having initially refined the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, Xu Qiankun looked at the precious pearl again, his expression becoming extremely excited.
The Chaos Pearl, a supreme treasure of chaos, shattered during the Great Calamity of Creation, transforming into twelve other treasures.
Its core consists of three treasures: the Five Elements Essence Wheel, the Moon Essence Wheel, and the Sun Essence Wheel. When these three treasures are combined, the innate supreme treasure, the Chaos Pearl, is recreated.
Besides these three, there are also the Five Elements Beads, Yin Yang Beads, Wind and Thunder Beads, Sea-Stabilizing Beads, Space Beads, and Time Beads. These six sets of beads are formed from the Great Dao rules within the Chaos Beads. Each time one is refined, the operating rules of the Qiankun Great World will become more perfect, and the Qiankun Great World will become more powerful.
In addition, there are the Devouring Bead, the Immortal Bead, and the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead, all of which are formed from the outer shell of the Chaos Bead.
Its core is a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, its Dao is a supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure, and its outer shell is an innate supreme treasure.
This is the situation of the twelve treasures transformed from the Chaos Pearl. Among them, the Time Pearl, the Immortal Pearl, the Devouring Pearl, and the Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl were four treasures that He had never even heard of if He had not for the chance to fuse with the Chaos Pearl and form an extremely close causal connection with it, from which information could be derived.
Although it was still a long way off before they could be fused into the complete Chaos Treasure, the Chaos Pearl, Xu Qiankun looked at the Space Pearl with immense joy on his face.
This pearl is not like the Five Elements Pearl or the Yin-Yang Pearl, which are composed of combinations.
This is a unique treasure with a full 48 innate restrictions, making it the finest among top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and it must contain the complete Dao of Space.
As long as it is integrated into the vast universe, it can quickly master the Great Dao of Space.
Mastering another Great Dao not only provides more methods, but also enhances the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, bringing it one step closer to the Primordial Chaos level.
After taking stock of the spoils, Xu Qiankun put Luo Hou's corpse into the "Hellfire Demon Tower" to prevent it from polluting the Qiankun Great World.
After completing these steps, one of Xu Qiankun's clones began to refine the Space Bead in seclusion, while the remaining clone, which had transformed into the World Tree, returned to its original form and reverted to the Qiankun God and Demon, its form splitting into two in a flash.
Then both clones entered the Qiankun Great World, replenishing their power while refining these treasures.
He possessed an immense number of treasures, including those above the level of innate supreme treasures, such as the True Illusion Divine Armor (Chaos Spiritual Treasure), the Qiankun Great World (Chaos Pearl), the Creation Green Lotus, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Five Elements Pagoda, the Five Elements Sword, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Hellfire Demon God Tower, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Primordial Measuring Ruler, the God-Slaying Spear, the Saint-Destroying Pill, and the World-Destroying Millstone.
A total of fourteen items.
The Qiankun Great World was the foundation of His enlightenment, and He had long since completely refined it.
The Creation Lotus and the Qiankun Cauldron had long been completely refined.
The Pangu Banner bears the mark left by Hongjun, and refining it would be too troublesome, so it will be suppressed for the time being.
The Primordial Measuring Ruler is still in the hands of one of Hongjun's avatars, and Xu Qiankun's avatar is refining it. This process may take millions of years. After all, it is a guy with a primordial treasure, and it is not in the Qiankun Great World. It is not so easy to deal with.
Because of its special nature, the Fallen Saint Pill had no innate restrictions or remnants of the Great Dao, and thus did not attract the attention of the supreme rules. It was left in the Devouring Star World by Xu Qiankun.
Apart from these six treasures, all the others need to be refined.
"What a happy problem!"
Xu Qiankun pretended to be helpless, but in reality he was overjoyed.
With so many treasures at his disposal, even after attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm, He will not lack treasures.
......
Just as Xu Qiankun was refining the treasure, the primordial world, which had already ended its great calamity, underwent another major change. Under Rahu's final attack, the four ferocious beasts, although not killed, were seriously injured and urgently needed energy to replenish themselves.
So they began to wreak havoc on the primordial land, devouring the surviving creatures.
Four ferocious beasts at the quasi-saint level devoured everything indiscriminately; even the vast primordial world couldn't contain their food.
The four quasi-saint powerhouses—Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise (renamed Xuanwu)—pursued and tried to stop him.
However, it was all useless. Although they had all improved their strength a lot due to the legacy of their respective clan leaders, and were not much weaker than the Ancestral Dragon and other powerful beings.
However, even the most ferocious beasts have thick hides and tough flesh, so when a supreme innate treasure falls on their bodies, it only makes their scales tremble.
The four ferocious beasts have ravaged the land for hundreds of thousands of years, almost wiping out all living beings in the primordial world. Now that they are about to reach the East Sea, Qilin Cliff, and the Undying Volcano, the four powerful beings are in complete panic.
Just then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, they came up with a plan: to use themselves as a shield to completely seal the four ferocious beasts.
Thus, the four powerful beings used themselves as a foundation to activate twenty-eight ancient stars in the sky above the primordial world. The Azure Dragon resided in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Vermilion Bird in the south, and the Black Tortoise in the north, setting up the Four Symbols Demon-Suppressing Array.
With the grand formation completed, the four ferocious beasts were sealed, and endless golden light of merit descended from the void, with ninety percent falling on powerful beings such as the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, elevating their status and greatly increasing their strength.
One part of the merit was bestowed upon the remaining old, weak, sick, and disabled of the three clans, which can be considered as leaving them a way out.
On the sycamore tree of the Immortal Volcano, two phoenix eggs, one colorful and one golden, suddenly shone brightly, releasing a faint life force.
On Zhongshan Mountain, a faint phantom condensed within the Great Dao of Time.
The Dragon-Han Great Calamity has truly come to an end.
"The way of Heaven is truly ruthless."
"They weren't even willing to leave the last glimmer of hope for the three primordial races."
The Celestial World is the name Xu Qiankun gave to the great world that the World Tree avatar created.
After leaving the battlefield, Xu Qiankun came straight here.
At this moment, He looked coldly at the primordial world, which was originally thriving but is now in ruins. Except for a very small number of old, weak, sick and disabled people remaining from the three innate races, all other living beings, whether acquired or innate, have been wiped out.
As innate spiritual energy begins to deplete and degenerate, and acquired spiritual energy evolves, the cultivation environment deteriorates, making it even more difficult for powerful individuals to emerge. This is the true reason why the Heavenly Dao propels the Great Tribulation.
"Heaven does not wish for the birth of a true supreme powerhouse in the world."
Xu Qiankun understood, and was even more grateful that he had taken the Qiankun Great World out and placed it in the chaos that the Heavenly Dao could not touch.
Time flies, and soon another 300,000 years have passed.
On this day, the vast universe, already fifty light-years wide, expanded rapidly once again.
This expansion was even more intense than when he fully comprehended the Great Dao of the Origin of Life. Indeed, the Qiankun Great World did not stop expanding until it reached two hundred light-years later.
Thirty thousand years later, Xu Qiankun's divine and demonic true form was strengthened once again.
"My current strength is at least three times greater than before my breakthrough."
In the vast world of Qiankun, Xu Qiankun felt his own power and supernatural abilities, and his expression was extremely excited.
If He were to face Hongjun now, He would not be suppressed even within the Balanced Dao Field; a casual strike from Him could break the limits that the Balanced Dao could withstand.
Having mastered the Great Dao of the Origin of Life and the Great Dao of Space, and perfectly integrated these two Great Daos into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and with the assistance of the Great Daos of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Creation, and Destruction, He is very close to the Primordial Chaos Realm.
In the vast celestial world, Xu Qiankun looked at the Qiankun Dharma Realm in his palm and a smile appeared on his face.
Within the universe, Hongjun's avatar is atop the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, with countless primordial energies descending to protect him.
Even after being refined for hundreds of thousands of years, Hongjun's aura did not weaken much, which can only be described as his great balance and his exceptional defensive skills.
"Fellow Daoist, why don't you release me?" Hongjun's clone said calmly. "As long as you release this clone of mine and return the five treasures—the Fallen Saint Pill, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and the God-Slaying Spear—our karma will be settled."
Hongjun was not threatening Xu Qiankun, but stating the facts.
He is the victor in the battle for the Dao. Although Xu Qiankun and Yang Mei escaped the tribulation, he still gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, received a massive amount of merit, and accumulated the fortune of the Heavenly Dao, thus condensing into a saint.
By comprehending the path to sainthood, one can attain enlightenment and become the first saint in the world, the representative of the Heavenly Dao, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him the ruler of this primordial world.
"He's just a prisoner; he thinks he can take the treasure from me? He's dreaming."
Xu Qiankun remained unmoved. The space suppressed by the Qiankun Dharma Realm changed rapidly, and the Great Dao of Space merged into it. Upon sensing this change, Hongjun's expression immediately changed drastically.
