Chapter 98 Anger
The loss of the source caused the innate turbid qi to gradually shrink. Finally, the innate turbid qi completely disappeared, leaving only a trace of inexplicable energy, emanating a chilling aura.
"This aura is so familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!" After a moment's thought, Feng Zichen separated a wisp of divine thought and probed towards that energy, intending to trace its origin. Rumble, a vast and boundless land, appeared.
In Feng Zichen's divine thought, that tiny energy suddenly grew enormous. The earthen-yellow energy flowed ceaselessly, boundless, like an earthen-yellow world.
That was the origin of the Earth, the source of the land. That inexplicable energy was actually connected to the origin of Earth, allowing Feng Zichen to glimpse a trace of the true essence of the Great Dao of Earth.
Deep within the origin of the Earth, there was a radiant light, gentle, illuminating all things, emanating an aura that carried all things, with a flow of creation energy, seemingly capable of nurturing all things.
Its body was permeated with the aura of the Great Dao, incredibly dense, expounding various profound mysteries of the Great Dao.
It was the beginning and the end of the Great Dao of Earth; all answers regarding the Great Dao of Earth could be found within it.
"This is... the aura of the Chaos Demon God!"
That aura of the Great Dao of Earth was even more powerful, noble, and profound than the aura of Houtu that Feng Zichen sensed deep within his bloodline, and it also contained a violent energy mixed within it.
Houtu, formed from the essence of Pangu's blood, nurtured by innate turbid energy, was born embodying the Great Dao of Earth, and could manipulate the laws of Earth from birth.
Among such beings, in the primordial world, only the Chaos Demon God, born embodying the will of the Great Dao, could be more noble and more powerful than her.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" Knowing that the Chaos Demon God was not to be trifled with, Feng Zichen moved his divine sense, extinguished that aura, and flew away into the distance, daring not to pursue any further.
However, before Feng Zichen could leave, a sudden change occurred. With a deafening roar, the earth trembled violently, like waves crashing on the surface of water, rising and falling erratically.
Thick, turbid earth energy, mixed with innate malevolent energy, surged from the ground, spreading in all directions and rushing towards him.
Simultaneously, a vast and majestic aura descended, causing the surrounding void to freeze instantly, and the Great Dao to cease its operation.
Feng Zichen had only taken half a step when he felt the void become like a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper. A great terror gripped his heart, and his hair stood on end.
Instantly, the aura of the Great Dao emanated from his body, manifesting various phenomena: the Five Innate Five Elements Divine Light, the Innate Supreme Yang Divine Light, the Primordial Immortal Light… all the divine abilities he possessed bloomed together.
Then, Feng Zichen channeled all his magical power, pouring it into the Primordial Dao Bell.
With a clang, the Primordial Dao Bell flew out from his sea of consciousness, hovering above his head, reflecting countless Great Daos and drooping wisps of primordial energy, shielding him and protecting him.
Almost simultaneously, the primordial turbid energy surging from the ground suddenly condensed, transforming into a gigantic claw that blotted out the sky, grabbing towards Feng Zichen.
The giant claw struck the Hongmeng Dao Bell, producing a deafening roar. As the Hongmeng Dao Bell trembled, invisible waves of energy spread outwards, turning the void into dust.
It was as if the world was being destroyed!
This claw contained astonishing power; swathes of primordial, turbid energy erupted, crushing mountains and rivers, destroying the heavens, sending chills down one's spine.
Even the mighty Hongmeng Dao Bell, infused with Feng Zichen's full magical power, trembled violently as it met the giant claw's attack. Countless runes shattered, and primordial energy dissipated in vast swathes.
One could imagine how terrifying this giant claw was!
If Feng Zichen hadn't reacted in time, exerting all his strength to unleash dozens of powerful divine abilities to protect himself, he would likely have been shattered to pieces by the aftershocks of the collision.
Taking advantage of the moment when the giant claw was knocked back by the recoil, Feng Zichen unleashed dozens of powerful divine abilities wrapped around his body at once, shattering the overwhelming innate turbid evil energy.
With the obstacle gone, he quickly moved sideways, escaping the giant claw's reach.
"The remnant spirit of the Chaos Demon God!"
Turning abruptly, Feng Zichen stared intently at the giant claw, his heart filled with rage. Had he reacted even slightly slower, that claw would have surely killed his physical body, not even sparing the incense and divine light.
Moreover, even as he was about to leave, the remnant spirit of the Chaos Demon God was still so relentless, resorting to such a vicious attack. What did it mean? Was it contempt for him, regarding him as an ant?
Since stepping onto Ziwei Star, influenced by it, Feng Zichen's personality had inevitably changed, becoming increasingly arrogant.
As the Lord of Stars, the King of Myriad Manifestations, and a Primordial Saint, he was naturally of supreme nobility. How could he not be furious at such humiliation!
That remnant spirit of the Chaos Demon God had dared to insult him so brazenly, utterly courting death!
Undeterred by its initial failure, the giant claw continued to grow taller, its five claws outstretched, rumbling and surging with innate turbid energy that enveloped the heavens and earth, once again pressing down on Feng Zichen.
"Seeking death!"
"A mere remnant of your spirit dares to attack me? Does it truly consider itself a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God?"
With a roar, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged forth from Feng Zichen, sweeping across all directions. In his rage, he had unleashed the innate divine power of the Ziwei Emperor—"Heavenly Punishment!"
It should be known that this was the Primordial World, the graveyard of Chaos Demon Gods. That remnant of a Chaos Demon God, instead of hiding properly, dared to come out and cause trouble? Did it truly think the Heavenly Dao was a pushover?!
"Heavenly Punishment!" Feng Zichen coldly uttered, the wind and clouds changing color, thunder erupting, the power of the Heavenly Dao transforming into Demon-Slaying Thunder, striking towards the giant claw.
At the same time, as Feng Zichen unleashed his Heavenly Dao Great Divine Power, the Heavenly Dao, in the darkness, sensed something and saw everything.
Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, the laws roared, and the power of the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder exploded exponentially, transforming into Destruction Divine Thunder, which fiercely struck the giant claw, shattering it into fragments.
"Roar!"
Just as the Destruction Divine Thunder was about to crash into the ground, a vague roar echoed, shaking all directions.
Immediately afterward, innate spiritual light shone brightly, covering a radius of millions of miles, and an aura belonging to the primordial world emanated.
Under the cover of this aura, the Heavenly Dao seemed to be blindfolded, no longer able to sense the aura of the Chaos Demon God.
In the blink of an eye, the power of the Heavenly Dao receded, and the Destruction Divine Thunder transformed back into the Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder.
"A Primordial Spiritual Treasure?"
"Using the aura of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure to conceal one's own demonic aura, thereby deceiving the Heavenly Dao—a brilliant tactic!"
"This remnant of the Chaos Demonic God possesses such high intelligence!"
In a flash, Feng Zichen understood the Chaos Demonic God's purpose and couldn't help but praise it.
The Heavenly Dao lacks intelligence, thus enabling it to be perfectly impartial, but also, because of this, it lacks wisdom, cannot think for itself, and is easily deceived.
The Chaos Demonic God's remnant exploited this loophole, using a Primordial Spiritual Treasure to deceive the Heavenly Dao and evade its attacks!
