Chapter 6: The Primordial Devil Ape
Ye Qing was resisting the residual waves of Pangu's creation in the boundless chaotic energy ocean, when he found a Chaotic Embryo that merged with a destructive energy from outside the universe. After merging, the Chaotic Embryo continuously absorbed infinite amounts of energy, depleting the surrounding chaotic energy and causing distant energy oceans to constantly replenish this space. However, the merged destructive energy made the Chaotic Embryo too powerful, leading to this space's energy being depleted before it could be replenished. Any residual creation energy from Pangu that reached this space would also be swallowed by the Chaotic Embryo. Seeing this situation, Ye Qing finally let out a sigh of relief, his personal safety now guaranteed.
Watching Pangu constantly wielding the heavenly axe of billions and billions of meters, continuously shattering the chaos of billions and billions of kilometers, Ye Qing's eyes had nothing else in them, only the trajectory of Pangu wielding the heavenly axe remained. The laws of the universe were constantly being performed by Pangu's swinging heavenly axe.
As Ye Qing continued to comprehend, his soul, which was the size of a chicken egg, continuously absorbed the chaotic energy left behind by the Chaotic Embryo. Ye Qing's soul grew stronger and more refined as it absorbed the chaotic energy, slowly increasing in size from its original chicken egg size to the size of a bowl, and then to the size of a washbasin. Ye Qing's originally slightly impure soul gradually became crystal clear as he continued to comprehend, and his deep blue soul slowly took on a hint of blue, which grew more pronounced with time, until finally, when his soul reached a spherical shape with a radius of nine meters, it had completely transformed into blue.
In the boundless chaotic-colored ocean of energy, there is a crystal-clear blue spiritual energy body that continuously devours the surrounding energy. As time flows by, the chaotic energy gradually decreases and slowly transforms into a land and sky filled with immense energy.
Just as Ye Qing slowly comprehended the trajectory of Pangu's creation, a gigantic Chaos Demon Ape with an aura of billions of feet burst out from the shattered chaos. The ape's eyes were bloodshot, it pounded its chest and stamped its feet, let out a long howl, its fur standing on end, emitting a fierce and ferocious aura.
This Chaotic Demon Ape is incredibly powerful, and even among the 3,000 Chaotic Demon Gods born from Chaos, its strength ranks among the top few. It turns out that this Chaotic Demon Ape was struck by Pangu's Heaven-Cleaving Axe while it was cultivating in seclusion within Chaos. You think being disturbed while sleeping would improve its temper? So when it emerged, its entire body emitted an aura of ferocity. The Chaotic Demon Ape has thick skin and flesh, and its physical strength is unmatched; even the blow from Pangu's Heaven-Cleaving Axe only left a minor injury.
Looking at Pangu, Hun Dun Demon Ape's eyes emitted a fierce light, he raised his head and let out a long howl, his hands carrying immense power struck towards Pangu. Pangu swung his axe towards Hun Dun Demon Ape, the massive energy burst forth instantly, leaving behind only a drop of essence blood with a radius of thousands of feet where Hun Dun Demon Ape had been.
Ye Qing was not far from the place where Hun Dun Demon Ape and Pangu were fighting, and was stunned by the aftermath of their battle. Ye Qing's soul was attracted to the essence of Hun Dun Demon Ape's blood, slowly merging into it.
If Ye Qing hadn't come to Honghuang, this drop of essence would have been destroyed by the residual waves of the Chaos. But Ye Qing arrived here, and this drop of essence was preserved. In the future, another incredibly powerful Primordial God will appear in Honghuang. From then on, Ye Qing never saw the scene of the Chaos again.
It has been 900 million years since Pangu opened the sky. The heaven and earth had just opened, and all things were in gestation. The primordial energy of the heaven and earth was like a liquid, and the entire space between the heaven and earth was filled with thick pre-heavenly spiritual energy, with some places still having a small amount of chaotic energy. Various spiritual treasures, spiritual roots, and major pre-heavenly born spirits were all in gestation or cultivation. Most of the Chaotic Demonic Gods had fallen, and even those who hadn't fallen only had their true spirit remaining in the vast wilderness to cultivate again.
As time passed, each of the innate gods was in retreat. There was Hong Jun Lao Zu, who transformed from the mysterious Hunyuan Yiqi; Hun Peng Lao Zu, who transformed from the essence and blood of the Hunyuan Demon God; Luo Hui Lao Zu, who transformed from the Hunyuan Sha Qi and the essence and blood of the Hunyuan Demon God; Yang Mei Lao Zu, who was damaged by the Hunyuan Willow Tree; Qian Kun Lao Zu, who transformed from the Qian Kun Qi; Tian Di Zhong Shou Jiu Zha Shen Long Zu Long, who transformed from the Hunyuan Jing Qi and became the first nine-clawed dragon in heaven and earth; Feng Zu, who transformed from the Hunyuan Huo, and so on.
The vast land of Honghuang stretches across thousands of light-years, and the four seas of Honghuang are even larger than the land. On a small island in the northern sea of Honghuang, although it is called a small island, this island is also enormous, with an area of billions of miles. In the center of this island, there is a huge mountain valley, and in this valley, there is a thousand-meter-long demon halberd. This is the protagonist of this book.
After Ye Qingyun fell, he drifted onto a Chaos Essence Stone and landed in the North Sea of Honghuang. As Honghuang evolved, the Chaos Essence Stone transformed into this island, and Ye Qing also transformed into a demon ape similar to the Chaos Demon Ape, now known as the Primordial Demon Ape.
"What's wrong with me, haven't I died yet?" Ye Qing finally came to and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Looking at his robust body and ferocious face, he was similar in appearance to that chaotic demon ape, only much smaller. Ye Qing felt relieved once again, fortunately he had transformed into the ancient demon ape, if he had turned into some other strange creature, he would have been driven to tears.
Ye Qing took stock of his current situation, seeing only desolation before him. The air was filled with a primordial energy that seemed to have taken on a liquid form. In the valley, he could still see some chaotic energy lingering about. Beside him floated a thirty-centimeter-long knife, its body straight except for a slight curve at the tip. Its entire length was as black as jade and had no blade. As soon as it landed in Ye Qing's hand, it seemed to become excited, jumping out as if it had finally found its master.
But little did he know, the jet-black blade emerged, and the strong chill of the blade had just been born, the sky and earth suddenly darkened, and all living things in the vast wilderness were filled with a huge sense of terror, feeling that they had no power to resist, and were directly destroyed.
Ye Qing looked at the knife's momentum and was extremely excited, hastily sitting down to refine it. After ten thousand years, Ye Qing had roughly refined it a bit, if this object wasn't born with Ye Qing together, Ye Qing wouldn't have been able to break open its three seals in ten thousand years of initial refinement. Ye Qing knew its origin after rough refinement, this object was called the Sky Breaking Blade, formed from a ball of destructive energy brought by Ye Qing and the Chaos Embryo absorbing large amounts of chaotic energy. It was a top-grade Innate Treasure, with forty-four seals. From forty to forty-four seals were Innate Treasures, which generally had the effect of suppressing the aura's operation. Twenty-four to thirty-nine seals were Innate Spiritual Treasures, twenty-four seals and below were Innate Magical Treasures.
In this ten thousand years, Ye Qing's cultivation had reached the realm of Xuanxian. Ye Qing was very dissatisfied with his own cultivation because he knew that in the future, such a level of cultivation would be simply courting death. What Ye Qing didn't know was that at present, the highest cultivation in the Primordial Chaos had only just entered the Taiyi Realm.
Ye Qing originally thought that coming to the Hongyuan would quickly allow him to reach the quasi-saint level, but it turned out that those were all deceiving. How could one possibly attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal as soon as they were born? And how could one enter the quasi-saint level just by cultivating a bit? There was also something about the Heavenly Dao inheritance, but Ye Qing discovered that none of these existed, only bloodline inheritances. One's own cultivation could only rely on oneself to explore and cultivate, fortunately, Ye Qing had created an Evolutionary Key and a Mind-Clearing Key in his original universe. However, with Ye Qing's current level of cultivation, he quickly discovered that the techniques he created were still very rough and not suitable for his current body. There was no way around it, so Ye Qing frantically deduced the techniques suitable for his current body in his mind. Ye Qing believed that only what suited oneself was the best. Time slowly passed as Ye Qing deduced the techniques in his consciousness, and soon 30,000 years had passed. In these 30,000 years, Ye Qing finally deduced the Evolutionary Key to the 15th layer, from ordinary immortals all the way to Great Luo Golden Immortals, and the Mind-Clearing Key was also improved to suit his current body's cultivation. After completing the deduction of the techniques, Ye Qing immersed himself in cultivation. With Ye Qing's current level of cultivation, he quickly cultivated the Evolutionary Key to the 6th layer. This was still Ye Qing suppressing his own cultivation speed, fearing that his foundation would not be stable; otherwise, it would have been even faster. After cultivating the Evolutionary Key to the 6th layer, Ye Qing's cultivation speed slowed down. When Ye Qing cultivated the Evolutionary Key to the 6th layer, his physical strength was five times stronger than before he started cultivating.
