Chapter 5: Pangu Opens Up the Sky

  Needless to say, the giant was Pangu without a doubt. As soon as he was born, the Great Way took care of him and three objects followed. The three objects were the Heaven-opening Axe, the Primordial Green Lotus, and the Creation Jade Disc. Pangu stood on top of the Primordial Green Lotus with his feet, held the Heaven-opening Axe in his right hand, and had the Creation Jade Butterfly on his head. He stood like this in the midst of chaos, his eyes tightly closed as he allowed the chaotic air to flow back and forth across his body.

  After a thousand years, Pangu sat down on the primordial lotus, closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. The chaotic air gathered around him like a solid object. The Chaos Pearl had long since disappeared without a trace. This had been going on for countless years, with Pangu waking up each time to pick up the axe beside him and swing it at a distant place before closing his eyes again to contemplate the Tao.

  In the chaos, another 3.6 billion years passed, and in these 3.6 billion years, all the Chaos Demon Gods in the chaos woke up, constantly devouring chaotic energy to cultivate or constantly fighting for spiritual treasures. As time went by, the Chaos Demon Gods became stronger and stronger, and the scope of their struggles expanded. The strongest among the three thousand demon gods had already reached the middle stage of the Pre-Heavenly Saint Realm, while the weakest had reached the early stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. The physical bodies of the Chaos Demon Gods were far superior to those of the Post-Creation Era, and their strength was unimaginable.

  On this day, a vast and powerful aura burst forth from the center of the Chaos, suppressing the entire universe. The immense pressure was so great that even the Chaotic Demon Gods in the Pre-Heavenly Saint Realm could hardly resist it with all their might, giving an idea of just how enormous the pressure was.

  "Finally reached the state of chaos." Pangu muttered to himself. "The time to open up the sky has arrived." A hint of hesitation flashed across Pangu's eyes, and then became resolute.

  Pangu suddenly stood up, with the Jade Disc of Creation on his head and the chaotic energy surrounding him, protecting his body. With the Heaven-Opening Axe in hand, he fiercely chopped at the chaos, this axe containing Pangu's understanding of the Great Way, implying the destruction of the laws of creation. In one strike, billions and billions of miles of chaos cracked open. Perhaps it was because Pangu's strength was too great that even the cosmic barrier was broken by his mighty axe, which is why Ye Qing saw that crack. Ye Qing emerged from the crack, startled, and saw a giant tens of billions of miles tall holding an axe tens of billions of feet long, constantly chopping at the chaos. Every strike opened up tens of billions of miles of chaos, with massive energy waves continuously striking Ye Qing's soul, which had shrunk to the size of an egg. Unable to withstand it, Ye Qing continued to dodge the wildly chaotic energy around him. While dodging the chaotic energy, Ye Qing found a ball of Chaotic Embryo and used it to resist the incoming chaotic energy. Watching Pangu's axe trajectory, Ye Qing's soul unknowingly grew stronger and more refined, and as time passed, the surrounding chaotic energy's harm to Ye Qing gradually weakened.

  Pangu, in the midst of the vortex, showed no signs of wavering, swinging his axe ceaselessly as Chaos was continuously split open. Countless spiritual roots and treasures were transformed into swirling clouds of Chaos energy amidst Pangu's swings. The Chaos stones were also shattered into powder, transforming into Chaos energy that dispersed with each strike. Space repeatedly scattered and reformed, reforming and scattering once more. It transformed into earth, fire, water, and wind, rampaging everywhere. However, the vastness of Chaos was such that it had existed since before Pangu's emergence; how could it be easily divided by Pangu? In areas where his axe strength waned, the earth, fire, water, and wind once again transformed back into Chaos. Pangu could only continue swinging his Heaven-Cleaving Axe ceaselessly. Countless demons in Chaos also unknowingly returned to their origins. Those who suffered calamity during Pangu's creation of the heavens were not limited to demons; the Chaos Pearl, the Chaos Green Lotus, and the Creation Jade Disc all received severe damage. Although the Chaos Pearl could transform into heaven and earth, it too was a product of Chaos and could not avoid disaster when calamity struck. The shattered Chaos Pearl transformed into countless spiritual treasures, including the renowned Yin-Yang Pearl, the Calming Sea Pearl, the Earth-Calming Pearl, as well as the Four Images Pearl, among others. The Chaos Green Lotus also broke apart, faring even worse than the Chaos Pearl. The Creation Jade Disc was shattered into dozens of pieces, with one piece still retaining half its original size; it was later obtained by Hongjun.

  At the center of the chaotic storm, Pangu is still chopping away with his axe, occasionally condensing a Chaotic Thunderbolt to strike deep into the chaos and prevent the chaotic airflow from assimilating the disordered space. His eyes, colored like chaos, reveal no emotions; perhaps he has reached the ultimate state of being, devoid of sorrow or joy, without revealing any emotions. The muscles on his body are knotted like an old tree's roots, appearing to be in a state of utter disorder, yet actually condensing all his strength to its utmost limit. Finally, after one more swing of his axe, nine-tenths of the universe's chaos was broken open. Although Pangu's expression did not reveal any joy, the aura around him was no longer as dull as before. Just as he relaxed a bit, Pangu condensed another Purple Thunderbolt to strike at the boundary between heaven and earth and chaos, while swinging his axe once more. Indeed, when heaven and earth first appeared, they were partially assimilated by the chaotic airflow in the distance; after the Opening of Heaven, the Opening Axe finally could not withstand the enormous pressure brought by the chaos and disintegrated into three Great Primordial Treasures: the Taiji Diagram, Pangu's Flag...

  The muddy clock automatically drifted into the depths of the muddy pond.

  When... when...

  The majestic and vast bell sound comes, as if it instantly traverses space, reaching every place of the broken chaos.

  The violent turmoil suddenly came to a standstill, from extreme motion to extreme stillness, without the slightest sense of abruptness.

  The Taiji diagram floating above Pangu's head grew infinitely, as if it would spread to every corner of the universe. Wherever it reached, the fierce winds and waters instantly calmed down.

  Pangu's flag returned to Pangu's hands, and with a light wave, strands of grayish-white light rushed towards the two half-blocks of Hundun, connecting them. Wherever it passed, earth, wind, water, and fire disappeared, transforming back into Hundun's spiritual energy, only to re-condense into earth, wind, water, and fire once more. Destruction and rebirth alternated in a flash, evolving together.

  Pangu's flag waved faster and faster, with more and more grey-white light flashing by. The black and white halves seemed to be unable to withstand the weight, splitting apart at the point where yin and yang merged in the Taiji diagram.

  Rumble...

  The two halves of yin and yang cracked open, heaven and earth were first formed, chaos was no longer repeated, the spirit of chaos transformed into the four elements of wind, water, fire and earth.

  The bell rings loudly, the Tai Chi diagram floats and dances, and the Pangu flag waves violently.

  It is unknown how much time has passed, the two halves of the primordial chaos transformed into the clear and turbid energies, with the clear energy rising to form Heaven and the turbid energy sinking to form Earth.

  The heavens grow higher and higher, the earth grows thicker and deeper.

  Pangu was overjoyed, and the Pangu flag in his hand was thrown away. He stood between heaven and earth, excitedly looking at the heaven and earth he had just split open.

  Just at this moment, the sky suddenly sank and the earth suddenly rose, as if heaven and earth were about to reunite.

  Pangu was greatly surprised, ah! With a loud shout, his body grew violently, his hands held up the sky, his feet trod on the earth, and he stood upright between heaven and earth. His body continued to grow, and heaven and earth again separated. Pangu grew taller and higher, and heaven and earth drew farther and farther apart.

  After 810,000 years, Pangu finally collapsed from exhaustion.

  Pangu the Great God transformed into all things, his left eye turned into a sun with a radius of billions of kilometers, and his right eye turned into a moon with a diameter of billions of kilometers. His hair became massive ancient stars; his blood turned into rivers, lakes, and seas, and his muscles turned into vast mountain ranges. When Pangu the Great God fell, his head and limbs transformed into gigantic mountain ranges that stretched for billions of miles, while his spine became the axis mundi, the Buzhou Mountains... His belly, however, transformed into a sea of blood, which was billions of kilometers in circumference, with waves of blood churning inside. No fish or shrimp lived there, nor did any birds or insects fly overhead. All the chaotic energy of heaven and earth converged at this place, which the people of the Primordial Chaos called the "Blood Sea of the Underworld", thus creating the Heaven and Earth of the Primordial Chaos.

  Pangu's transformation into all things in an instant, three clear airs and twelve large drops of essence escaped from his body.

  The heavens and earth were formed, Pangu had great merit with the heavens and earth. Only countless Taoist yellow and Hongmeng gases came rolling from the horizon, merging with the golden light of merit to illuminate the entire space. It was indeed Pangu who opened up the sky and created another space after the chaotic space was formed, bringing out the Hongmeng Xuanhuang gas that appeared at the beginning of Taiji. This shows how great Pangu's achievement was in opening up the heavens and earth.

  Only to see the ten percent of Xuan Huang's aura entwined with one percent of Gong De Jin Guang, finally forming a tower. It is indeed the first defensive treasure of the Post-Heaven, Tian Di Xuan Huang Ling Long Tower. When standing on top of someone's head, it hangs down its Xuan Huang aura to protect itself, and when going into battle, it stands in an unbeatable position, which can also suppress the flow of air. It is not inferior to the existence of the Pre-Heavenly Supreme Treasure.

  The remaining ten percent of Hong Meng's aura entwined with one percent of Gong De Jin Guang forms a ruler, which is the Hong Meng Quantian Ruler, and it is the Post-Heavenly Gong De attacking treasure. There are also eight percent of Gong De Jin Guang, only to see Pangu Yuan Shen transformed into three clear airs, each rolling up one percent of Gong De Jin Guang, flying away in the distance.

  Pangu's flesh and blood essence transformed into twelve drops of essence, which rolled up three successful Gong De Jin Guang, flying towards the place where the evil air was thick. The remaining two percent of Gong De Jin Guang turned into spiritual rain, nourishing the newly born heaven and earth. In the midst of heaven and earth, the Not Week Mountain transformed from Pangu's spine still exists.

  The Xiantian Zhībǎo Taiji Map and the Pangu Flag disappeared directly in the void, while the Hundun Bell circled around Mount Buzhou a few times before flying towards the sun star transformed from Pangu's left eye as if being pulled.
