Chapter 1: The Heaven and Earth Open Together

  Time passed slowly, and Pangu and Zhang Xue were both immersed in the epiphany of opening up the sky. This rare epiphany was a great opportunity for Zhang Xue.

  In the past, Zhang Xue's cultivation had always been focused on his physical body and soul, but he had never grasped the concept of boundaries. It could be said that although Zhang Xue possessed an incredibly powerful physique, he was unable to fully utilize it, having no idea how to tap into his extraordinary innate abilities. He was like a child who suddenly gained superhuman strength, yet only knew how to use brute force to attack, without understanding how to harness his power or amplify his attacks by a hundredfold.

  At that time, Zhang Xue could be said to be in such a situation, and at the beginning, Pangu was obviously weaker than him, but he couldn't do anything to Pangu, so he could only defend himself.

  Of course, some people say that one force can subdue ten wills. We cannot deny this view, but it is only useful when you are ten or a hundred times stronger than the other side. If you are at the same level or slightly weaker, your outcome can be imagined, and you will be played to death by others.

  This time Zhang Xue's realization can be said to be very important, it can be said that it laid a foundation for his future realizations. Of course, due to Zhang Xue's own situation, as for how far he will go in the future, it can only depend on himself.

  Pangu, however, made great progress in his cultivation due to this heavenly opening. His true body grew by nearly four-fifths of Zhang Xue's size, and his aura became increasingly powerful as the heavens expanded, seemingly without end, making it impossible for others to see its limits.

  Suddenly a loud "boom" broke the originally silent chaos, and Zhang Xue and Pangu also woke up from their epiphany of opening the sky.

  At first glance, it turned out to be Pangu's heavenly axe that opened the sky, which could no longer withstand the pressure brought by opening the sky and shattered. However, the Chaos Treasure was still the Chaos Treasure, and after shattering, it transformed into the famous Taiji diagram, Pangu fan, Hunyuan bell, and the heavenly axe obtained by Xingtian, which was transformed from the axe handle.

  Pangu knew at a glance that the opening of the sky was about to end, and even the treasure used for the opening of the sky was broken. How could he continue to open the sky? Now the main thing is to calm down the raging fire, wind and water between heaven and earth, in order to stabilize the newly opened heaven and earth.

  Only to see Pangu grasped the Taiji diagram transformed from the axe that opened the sky, and with a wave of his hand, a white gold jade bridge spanned billions of miles. In an instant, the earth, fire, wind, and water inside were suppressed, slowly calming down, becoming no longer so violent.

  The heaven and earth have become stable. The Jade Bridge has gradually merged with the heaven and earth, making them no longer afraid of the destruction of fire, wind, and water, becoming even more solid.

  Then he took out the Chaos Bell and gently shook it, and in an instant, time seemed to stop within billions of miles of space. All things were silent, and everything was still.

  Ripples spread out in circles, continuously expanding outward from the chaotic clock. The earth, fire, wind, and water that encountered the ripples were scattered and transformed into spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

  Pangu's banner was constantly waved out, with grey sword energy cutting through the chaotic air left behind by the opening of the sky, shattering it into spiritual energy that filled the heavens and earth.

  When Pangu stopped opening up the sky, Zhang Xue also came to a stop, for the heavens had opened up too greatly without their realizing it.

  Zhang Xue can be certain that this world is at least tens of thousands of times larger than Pangu's own creation, not to mention that Zhang Xue's presence caused Pangu's cultivation to advance greatly before he opened the sky. This alone has made the created world much larger, let alone with Zhang Xue in it.

  The sky will open up to be much bigger than Pangu's, at least ten thousand times. It can be said that it is all Zhang Xue's credit, originally because his body was much stronger than Pangu's, and the strength was also somewhat different in nature from Pangu's.

  Pangu's body can be said to have been transformed by the infinite power of the law, so his body has become incredibly powerful due to the boundless power of the law, and it has almost reached the point where nothing can harm him.

  This also means that as soon as Pangu's magic is depleted, his body's defensive power will continue to decline, and he can be easily injured by others. It can be said that the strength of Pangu's body is directly related to how much magic is in his body.

  This is also what often happened in the past, where one's true body would not be destroyed. At first, it seemed like nothing could harm them, but as a result of excessive consumption of magical power, they ended up meeting a tragic end, where anyone could kill them with just one stab.

  It can be said that the defensive power of a cultivator's body is actually the defensive power of their Fa, like a personal defensive cloak. When one has abundant Fa, they can withstand any attack without issue, but once their Fa is depleted, anyone can kill them. It's really two extremes.

  And their bodies are actually just a bit stronger than others. Of course, wanting to consume Pangu's magical powers too much is not even worth thinking about, at least they can't do it themselves.

  But Zhang Xue's physical body was different, his physique had undergone a fundamental transformation after being strengthened by his divine power, no! It should be said that it has evolved. His physique relied on the divine power to change the internal structure of his body, thereby making his body stronger, which is also where Zhang Xue's difficulty in transforming lies. Just like Pangu's analogy back then, it was like turning an ordinary plant into a congenital spiritual root. This is a fundamental transformation!

  So Zhang Xue's physical strength is just physical strength, and has nothing to do with any magical powers. At the same time, everyone also knows that physical strength makes all aspects of the body stronger as well. Such as power, defense, recovery, endurance, speed, etc., these are all increased along with the improvement of the body.

  So it can be said that Zhang Xue is much more relaxed than Pangu when opening the sky. As long as you keep waving your paws, you don't even need to consume spiritual power, do you think it's not easy? Can't it open faster than Pangu?!

  He also has the divine power to control fire, wind and water, allowing him to open up the sky with the help of earth fire, wind and water. The speed is even faster, and it's a classic example of turning waste into treasure.

  That's why the sky and earth were opened to an immeasurable vastness, and most of it was opened by Zhang Xue himself. It can be said that it is much larger than what Pangu opened. If there hadn't been the fragmentation caused by the Heaven-Cleaving Axe, who knows when they would have stopped opening?

  At this moment, looking at the extremely vast sky and earth around him, Zhang Xue's heart didn't feel any excitement at all, but was instead filled with worry. "I don't even know if those five heavenly pillars can hold it up or not. The size of the opened-up sky and earth looks precarious to me. It's really infuriating, how did I unknowingly make the sky so big? Hopefully it'll be successful."

  At this moment, the heaven and earth suddenly shook, and there were signs of slow convergence everywhere. Zhang Xue looked at it and didn't dare to delay, quickly taking out the five heavenly pillars that had been nurtured in his body, arranging them according to the four directions.

  Dong Qing Long Tian Zhu, Nan Zhu Que Tian Zhu

  West White Tiger Heavenly Pillar, North Xuanwu Heavenly Pillar, Central Qilin Heavenly Pillar.

  Only five days later, it suddenly dropped down and began to grow bigger and longer continuously, slowly connecting the earth and the sky together.

  In the vast world, five giant pillars of heaven appeared, supporting the sky and earth. The entire sky was a mass of dark clouds, with purple lightning flashing between the sky and earth, occasionally tearing through the air. It was as if it were the end of the world.

  As the five heavenly pillars grew larger, the distance between heaven and earth slowly increased. Looking at everything in front of them, Pangu and Zhang Xue finally revealed a smile.

  But heaven did not comply with people's wishes, just as the distance between heaven and earth increased, the pressure of heaven and earth on the five heavenly pillars also became greater and greater, at this time the five heavenly pillars finally could not support it.

  Only the sound of "Ka Ka" kept coming from the body of the five heavenly pillars, looking at all this, Zhang Xue shouted: "It's bad, the heavenly pillar can't support the pressure of heaven and earth, hurry up and find something to hold up the sky, otherwise the heavenly pillar will shatter."

  But the distant Pangu didn't wait for Zhang Xue to finish speaking, and took out his own Chaos Treasure, the Huanyu Butterfly and the Chaotic Green Lotus. With a wave of his hand, they flew into the sky, replacing the five Heavenly Pillars to block the convergence of heaven and earth.

  Only to see the chaotic green lotus and the creative jade butterfly fixed in the sky, constantly rising. Pangu's move is really extraordinary, just now the heaven and earth were slowly rising with five heavenly pillars, but now it's like a rocket, rushing upwards. The five heavenly pillars are like younger brothers, sharing some pressure behind their buttocks.

  The distance between heaven and earth has been growing greater and greater, and it is now unknown how many billions of miles apart they are; yet still they have not come to a standstill, but continue to move closer together.

  At this time, the Chaotic Green Lotus and the Creative Jade Butterfly also transmitted a "clicking" sound, it seems that they can't hold on for much longer. However, Pangu didn't have any intention of taking them back, instead he suddenly increased his magical power, causing the Chaotic Green Lotus and the Creative Jade Butterfly to rapidly ascend.

  But these two Chaos Treasures were also shattered, the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into the Five Elements Flag of Heaven and Earth, and disappeared along with the four lotus seeds. The Creation Jade Butterfly was even more broken, turning into countless swift butterflies flying towards the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Looking at this, Zhang Xue's mouth watered, what a great Chaos Treasure, it was actually ruined by Pangu like this.

  But I'm busy controlling the Heavenly Pillar now, and constantly inputting blood energy to repair the initial injuries. There's no time to stop it, can only watch as it shatters, truly heart-wrenching.

  At this moment, Pangu saw the fragmentation of the treasure, and in an instant, he let out a loud roar, revealing his true body of billions of feet. With both hands raised to hold up the sky and both feet firmly planted on the ground, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of ancient simplicity, vastness, and majesty that permeated the heavens and earth. The dark clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed, and the purple lightning also disappeared. The entire universe seemed to be trembling under Pangu's unparalleled majesty.

  Zhang Xue was even more excited and impulsively imitated Pangu's style, doing a handstand.

  Then a hilarious scene appeared, a giant turtle standing between heaven and earth, with its feet treading on the ground and its hands supporting the sky, one of them stretching back and forth in the middle, making people laugh no matter how they looked at it.

  Although it looks funny, but the effect is still quite powerful.

  Only to see the heavens being lifted up by Zhang Xue's brute force, rising tens of thousands of miles. Pangu almost got knocked over by the sudden rise of the sky.

  Like this, Zhang Xue and Pangu held up the sky with both hands, their feet treading on the earth. Every day, the sky rose by ten thousand zhang, and the earth also thickened by ten thousand zhang. The bodies of Pangu and Zhang Xue also grew larger accordingly. The two continued to hold up the sky and the earth like this, truly a pair of good men who held up the sky and stood on the earth! Oh no! It should be a good man and a good turtle who held up the sky and stood on the earth!
