Chapter 27: Opening Heaven

  Pangu couldn't help but admire the wonders of the Great Way, and he felt that the most troublesome thing was how to solve the problem of his demonic nature. As long as he used the method of beheading the three corpses, he could resolve it.

  However, his own primordial spirit had been separated from a part of itself. He felt that he had taken another step closer to the Great Dao, but he knew that he was now further away from having complete emotions within himself.

  Pangu gazed at his own evil corpse and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. This was a man full of evil energy, with a body that seemed to have gathered all the evil in the world.

  This evil corpse seems to be in tune with its own mind, but it always feels like it's not itself, I don't know why.

  "The evil corpse said: 'I am you, yet I am not you'"

  Pangu said calmly: "Why"

  The evil corpse said: "You should be grateful, I am the embodiment of all evil thoughts in this chaotic world, you just happened to take the lead."

  Pangu smiled awkwardly and said, "Should I be grateful that I'm not as evil as this?"

  The evil corpse said: "You don't have to feel guilty, I'm not opening the sky for you, but for the Great Way. And thank you for letting me appear, haha."

  Pangu sighed and said, "You are destined to die."

  The evil corpse said: "Maybe, maybe I'll find myself again. I still need to borrow the Heavenly Axe of Creation from you." As he spoke, the evil corpse began to refine a blue lotus flower.

  Pangu silently watched all of this, why bother seeking unclear origins, only increasing trouble.

  Pangu held the Heaven-Cleaving Axe in his hand and sighed: "The axe is a good one, but it doesn't feel right in my hand. I'll just have to make do with it for now."

  This axe of opening heaven makes a loud noise, as if it is looking down on the opponent with great dissatisfaction.

  Xie Shi Pangu said, "You shouldn't be dissatisfied either. The Opening of Heaven is your calamity. My soldiers were scattered by the Great Dao and cannot gather together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used you. You also don't need to exert yourself too much, or else you won't be able to keep yourself safe."

  The law of power fluctuates around him, and a burst of momentum erupts.

  "Roar!"

  A thunderous roar, the evil corpse Pangu brought infinite overlord's might to slash at the chaos in front of him.

  "Open!!!"

  Endless majesty, a furious roar burst forth from Pangu's mouth. A limitless axe infused with Pangu's understanding of the Great Way.

  Only to see the entire chaos, with the hacking of evil corpse Pangu, a beautiful axe light flashed by, and the entire chaos was like a big bubble, being broken open by the axe light. The chaotic air continuously differentiated into yang clear air and yin turbid air. Earth, water, fire, and wind surged restlessly, like a stormy wave, slapping wildly.

  A blue lotus burst out of Pangu's body, instantly calming the earth, water, wind and fire, and quickly expanding to merge with this newly opened world. Pangu threw away the borrowed Heaven-opening axe.

  After the heaven and earth were opened, the heaven and earth were unstable. The great god Pangu was on top of the blue sky with his head and stepped on the ground with his feet. Every day he grew taller by one zhang (a unit of length), so the heaven also rose higher by one zhang every day, and the earth also became thicker by one zhang every day. After 18,000 years, the heaven and earth took shape. Suddenly, the heaven sent down a yellow aura, wanting to envelop the heaven and earth.

  The evil corpse Pangu saw the heaven and earth take shape, and the heaven descended with the mysterious yellow energy. This is the heavenly energy that appeared at the beginning of the heaven and earth, the motherly energy of all things.

  "Haha" quickly chanted a spell, wanting to refine this piece of Xuan Huang Qi for his own use. Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared in the heavens and earth, this was the rule bestowed by the Great Dao upon the heavens and earth, Heaven has its power, the Dao has its power.

  Under Tianwei's oppression, the evil corpse Pangu began to sway a bit, he wanted to defy heaven, but the Great Way did not give him this opportunity.

  But the evil corpse Pangu was not one to yield easily, and he bellowed: "You are only a part of the Great Way, merely worthy of being called Heavenly Dao. How dare you flaunt your heavenly power in front of me?"

  The evil corpse Pangu fiercely grasped a large piece of essence from the Xuan Huang Qi, "condensed", and a golden long spear appeared in his hand. The spear was carved with nine dragon-shaped patterns, which were the divine patterns condensed by heaven and earth themselves.

  The evil corpse Pangu turned the golden long spear in his hand, and a black air floated out of his body, which was absorbed by the long spear. Suddenly, a surge of killing intent burst forth, and the golden long spear turned crimson, as if it contained a deep pool of blood, with millions of fierce souls wailing inside.

  "No killing intent, how can you become a divine soldier. If the heavens want to obstruct me, I will destroy the heavens, and if the heavenly way wants to obstruct me, it will also be swallowed up, making the heavenly way your nourishment for growth. Haha, call yourself Devouring Heaven Halberd from now on."

  A surge of mysterious yellow energy floated in and condensed into a mysterious yellow shape.

  Xuan Huang, you want to stop me.

  Xuan Huang Dao said: "I know you have merged with heaven and earth, but are somewhat unwilling. However, the will of the Great Way cannot be defied."

  "Alright, let's have one battle"

  "If you can beat me, I'll give up. But..."

  Xuan Huang stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and a Xuan Huang aura suddenly enveloped Pangu, a power that could crush his strong body, binding the evil corpse Pangu. These powers not only contained the entire world's power but also had infinite creative power, possessing infinite vitality.

  A sigh, "The world is still empty and desolate, all things are nothing. You should fulfill your mission."

  The corpse of Pangu couldn't withstand this force, like a stone falling from the sky. The corpse of Pangu let out a loud roar and made a great effort to chop out with its halberd, but that power which could split heaven and earth was absorbed by heaven and earth, simultaneously producing a counter-shock force, instantly causing the Sky Swallowing Halberd to shatter, as well as the corpse of Pangu's arm.

  Then it fell heavily into the vast sky, and the infinite power of creation instantly surrounded it, transforming its body into a vast wilderness.

  A sigh, "You still don't understand."

  The left eye is the sun, the right eye is the moon, and hair becomes a multitude of stars; Fresh blood turns into rivers, lakes, and seas, muscles turn into thousands of miles of fertile fields; Sweat hairs become grass and trees, tendons and veins become roads; Teeth become gold and stone, essence becomes pearls; Qi becomes wind and clouds, voice becomes thunder, sweat becomes rain and dew.

  The head and limbs turned into the Five Sacred Mountains, while the spine became the fulcrum of the heavens and earth... The abdomen transformed into a vast sea of blood, several tens of thousands of miles in circumference. Inside this sea of blood, waves churned and foamed, devoid of fish or shrimp, birds or insects. All the malignant energy of heaven and earth converged here. The people of the Primordial Chaos called this place the Nether Blood Sea.

  The soul of Xiong Gu was wrapped in the aura of Xuanyuan and flew into the depths of heaven and earth.

  Pangu gazed at all of this faintly, and this was the embodiment of all things. The soul of Pangu's evil corpse was wrapped in the mysterious yellow energy, preventing his own exploration. Pangu knew that deep within every heaven and earth, where there were other existences, was the origin of the heaven and earth's life.

  At this time, countless purple star points came from the depths of heaven and earth like meteors, rushing in quickly, and then quickly merged into heaven and earth. Pangu didn't know if there were evil corpses or Pangu's primordial spirit energy among them.

  The heavens and earth suddenly changed as if they had been transformed, the primordial energy began to evolve, transforming into the pre-heavenly energy between heaven and earth. They are the spiritual energies of the heavenly spirits that cultivate the heavens and earth.

  The five elements of heaven and earth, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, accelerated the evolution of the primordial gas wherever they passed.

  At this time, the world seemed to fall into silence, with only the faint sound of the earth's breathing coming through.

  Pangu knew that this was only a manifestation, and among the heavens and earth, many powerful spirits were being nurtured. They were the masters of the universe, and it was they who would bring about its evolution, waiting for their master to reign supreme over the land.

  Pangu felt that this world was lacking too many things, vaguely feeling that it would be detrimental to the development of the world, but he wasn't clear what exactly.

  Pangu knew this was an opportunity for himself, as long as he could grasp the key to it, he could go on to evolve another heaven and earth, slowly approaching the Great Way he pursued.

  For this vast land, Guan was a bystander, deeply fearful of the supreme Tao.

  The vast and boundless universe is filled with good things, all of which are pre-heavenly objects. Many of them are condensed from the essence of pre-heavenly things. Even a stone picked up at random may be the essence of metal, a handful of soil grabbed may be the essence of earth (xi shi), a scoop of water lifted may be the essence of water, and the fierce flames spewing out of a volcano may be the essence of fire.

  This is a crazy world, the current Primordial Chaos is completely dominated by savage beasts. Although most of them have not fully transformed, the creatures between heaven and earth, even the ancient gods, except for a few who are exceptionally gifted, are mostly still in a state of confusion and ignorance, and can't even be considered living beings. The savage beasts act solely on instinct, just like the wild animals of later generations. However, Pangu's physical body and the Pre-Heavenly Yuan Qi have given them immense power, making them even more destructive.

  In the vast expanse of nothingness, time was lost, and no one knew how long it had been. In the depths of the dark, bloody sea, there existed a peculiar being. It was a seal, and what was sealed within was naturally a terrifying existence.

  Jing Tian felt a great fear, a vast and dark abyss, with millions of souls wailing around him, millions of fierce ghosts chasing after him frantically, while he could only feel his own weakness, just a faint and flickering light, able to drift quickly, desperately running, trying to escape this terrible abyss. Fortunately, in the aimless drifting, he saw the light, although it was blood-red and eerie, but that was the light that ignited the courage of life.

  The silent sky was shrouded in an eerie glow, yet there was a sense of endless oppression, lingering in the mind, as if the whole body couldn't breathe. The silent sky struggled, trying to expel the stagnant air from its chest. For who knows how many days, in the endless darkness, under the endless pressure, the silent sky stretched out its divine consciousness, bit by bit strengthening and solidifying it, thinking about what it was and where it came from. Perhaps it was the blessing of heaven that its divine consciousness suddenly burst through the thick walls.

  The astonishing discovery in front of Ji Tian was that the eerie red boundary had disappeared, replaced by a broken long spear, with only the dragon-shaped spearhead remaining, its dimly bright dragon-shaped spearhead radiating a breathtaking sharpness.

  This dragon-shaped halberd was transforming its own body, a long red blood-red spear with nine golden five-clawed dragons coiled around the spear body, some spitting fire, some playing, or glaring angrily, each with its own shape and its own difference.

  His eyes met those of one of the golden dragons for only an instant, and a powerful divine sense suddenly rushed towards his brain. His own divine sense, which had been condensed with great difficulty, showed signs of collapse, leaving behind a deep and ancient aura of resilience in his mind. However, the long spear seemed to be calling out to him from the depths of his heart, its call so familiar that it felt like the spear was a part of him.

  Ji Tian involuntarily merged his divine consciousness into the spear blade, and his own divine consciousness seemed to open up the sky and earth, suddenly becoming clear and bright.

  Jing Tian seemed to have become stupid, suspended in space, muttering: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."
