Chapter 376: Chapter 375: The supreme gathers!
“Suppress!”
As Pangu spoke, he rose from the ground, flying instantly into the sky. With a wave of his hand, everyone in the world who had a desire to be enlightened through the elements of wood, water, fire, or earth was suppressed.
At that moment, he displayed the might and methods of a Supreme, dominating the world, blocking the path of all those who sought enlightenment.
“Absorb!”
Following a stern shout, the four Daos, previously returned to their origins, slowly converged.
They gradually emerged above the altar. They were the contingency plans left by the four Supremes, meant to facilitate their quickest return. Unexpectedly, they were completely utilized by Pangu.
In just the time it took to finish a cup of tea, four first-level Daos completely appeared on the altar.
But it wasn’t over yet!
At that very moment, Pangu created multiple clones, each occupying a quadrant, looking towards the distance.
“Slash!”
Each of his avatars shouted across the void.
Far away, tens of millions of miles away in the five provinces, many of the already suppressed Supremes perished.
Some of these Supremes willingly provided energy, some were forcibly suppressed by the five major Supremes.
Their purpose was to supply energy to the Abyss and Heaven to resist external invaders.
But at this moment, they all perished.
In front of Pangu, a first-level Supreme, even if others were also Supremes, they still had no power to resist.
The victors made the rules, possessing the most powerful means. So were the Laws of the world.
“Rumble!”
In the sky, flashes of lightning appeared, and an endless rainfall of blood started to fall.
Moreover, as many Supremes perished, the Abyss and Heaven started to crack open at that moment.
Countless abyssal demons and heavenly immortals flooded into the mortal realm, slaughtering and rampaging.
Roho glanced at this scene, furrowing his eyebrows, he asked, “Pangu, are you sure what you’re doing is right?”
Pangu chuckled, “These are just people who will die, the edge worlds are filled with the dead. Every day, the number of deaths is greater than the total population of the Primordial Continent…”
“The Primordial Continent is not more noble than other places!”
Roho was speechless. In his eyes, Pangu had fallen into madness, incapable of reasoning.
“Gather!”
Once again, Pangu used his spell, absorbing all the second-level and third-level Supreme’s Daos scattered between Heaven and Earth.
Daos of various colors emerged in front of everyone.
Among the hundreds of saints present, each involuntarily showed a look of yearning.
These were the Supremes’ Daos!
This was what they had spent their lifetime pursuing, and it was now just plainly laid before them.
Roho shouted loudly, “Pangu, if you merge the Daos with him, you will die too!”
He still wanted to make the last struggle.
Pangu just laughed, “If I die, I die; I made these choices with that in mind!”
Besides, it’s not like he hasn’t died before!
“Whoosh!”
Just then, a crack suddenly opened in the void, and a shadow, with lightning-fast speed, reached out for the Daos floating above the altar.
“Stop!”
With a stern shout from Pangu, he instantly teleported and appeared in front of the figure, just in time to block him.
“Bang!”
Pangu struck out with a punch, producing a dull sound.
He was somewhat surprised. As a first-level Supreme, he hadn’t used his full strength, but it wasn’t something a common person could block.
Not to mention regular people, even other second-level and third-level Supremes wouldn’t be able to withstand it. But the shadow before him was incredibly powerful.
“Hehe!”
The shadow chuckled weirdly, reached forward, and just like that, he gathered up several Daos.
“Whoosh!”
After doing all of this, he teleported in an instant, appearing on the other side of the altar, laughing loudly at Pangu.
“Surprised, aren’t you? These Daos, they’re all mine now!”
Those present were all taken aback, looking at the newcomer with surprise and suspicion.
To everyone’s surprise, Pangu didn’t show any anger. Instead, he gave a slight smile, and said, “Two billion years ago, Haotian Supreme ventured alone into the underworld to resist foreign enemies. In the end, he got lost in the chaos, his whereabouts unknown!”
“Even though he disappeared, the Supreme Dao he followed was still occupied, which means he didn’t die, but was more likely trapped somewhere!”
Those present took a closer look at the newcomer and discovered that he was completely shrouded in black, nothing like the imposing figure that Haotian Supreme was used to be.
“Haha!”
The shadow chuckled, saying, “Pangu, I didn’t expect you to remember me!”
Those around were shocked. “You’re really Haotian?”
Looking at the man with disbelief, Roho recalled that the Dao Haotian cultivated belonged to the Great Sun Dao, a path of righteousness.
The man before them, on the other hand, was shrouded in darkness, full of evil aura. If said to be the Demon Ancestor, Roho would believe; he even seemed more like a demon than Roho himself.
Haotian’s eyes flashed with a hint of pain, which quickly faded. “The old Haotian is dead!”
“I am now Wutian!”
As he said these words, his eyes were fixed on Tathagata.
“Amitabha!”
Tathagata chanted a scripture and sighed, “Brother Haotian, why are you doing this to yourself?”
Wutian snorted coldly, shouting angrily, “Haotian is dead, you damned brother!”
The tranquil expression on Tathagata’s face disappeared, replaced by regret.
“I should have been the one to go…”
“Shut up!”
Wutian interjected, “Don’t play innocent here, I don’t need your pity!”
Roho looked at Wutian, his brow furrowed, “Hold on, you used to walk the Great Sun Dao, this Dao has been occupied for two hundred million years, why do you look like this now?”
Wutian’s mouth curved upwards, a wicked smile appearing on his face. “Great Sun?”
“The sun in my heart has been devoured!”
“Unlimited Heavenly Venerable!”
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable spoke, “The Dao is natural, all paths lead to the same destination. The Great Sun consists not only of the Yang side, but also the Yin side!”
“Brother Haotian used to cultivate the Yang side while suppressing the Yin side. Naturally, everything was dominated by Yang…”
“But now, Haotian becoming Wutian, fully shows that you’ve moved from cultivating the Yang side to the Yin side, hence, everything is dominated by the Yin…”
Everyone present felt a deep regret.
Switching from Yang to Yin might sound simple, but it’s extremely difficult.
This is equivalent to changing one’s origin. The process is extremely painful, as if enduring thousands of cuts, replacing Yang with Yin.
Wutian kept staring at Tathagata, uttering coldly, “Two hundred billion years ago, I was waiting for you… waiting for you to find me!”
“I assured myself that since the Great Sun Dao was still there, you must know that I am still alive… you would surely come find me…”
“But what disappointed me was that as the days went by, all I got was disappointment… nothing but disappointment…”
Tathagata sighed, “Brother, I’ve been sleeping for a hundred and thirty-seven billion years…”
“Heh heh!”
Wutian sneered, “I know, I’ve been back for a long time!”
“But, there were sixty-three billion years in the middle, why didn’t you come looking for me?”
Tathagata was somewhat uncomfortable, “I did look for you, but I couldn’t find you. Then, the situation became tense, I thought you were still alive and might be able to escape…”
“Stop it!”
Wutian’s face contorted, “It doesn’t matter anymore, Haotian is already dead, I am now Wutian!”
He grinned wickedly, laughing out loud, “Now, numerous Great Daos are in my hands, I will be the one to control this world!”
The faces of the people present didn’t change much, they had been restrained by Pangu long ago and had no ability to resist. Now it seemed that the person in charge had simply switched.
“Really?”
At this point, Pangu said with a smile, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Luckily you came, otherwise the Great Dao wouldn’t be complete!”
Wutian was taken aback and unconsciously looked down at the points of light represented by the numerous Great Daos he had grasped in his hand.
“Sizzle sizzle!”
At this moment, the points of light that originally represented the Great Dao, instantly changed, transforming into various talismans.
Simultaneously, around Wutian, chains of Great Dao emerged, encircling him at the center.
“Impossible!”
With a roar, Wutian threw away the talismans, while attempting to use his divine powers to escape.
“Boom!”
The chains of the Great Dao struck, instantly bouncing Wutian back.
“Pu-!”
Just in that instant of trying to escape, Wutian was seriously injured.
“How is it possible, how could such a high-level chain of Great Dao lock me?”
Wutian was full of shock, his face dumbfounded, “My Great Dao, even if it isn’t as good as yours, it’s not much different, why is this happening…”
“Junior brother, I’m sorry!”
At this time, Tathagata spoke with an apologetic expression on his face.
Wutian suddenly turned and stared wide-eyed at Tathagata, an incredulous expression on his face.
Next to Tathagata, Roho stretched his neck, a teasing smile on his face and said, “Brother Haotian, so many years have passed and you still aren’t smart enough!”
Not only him, but the other four supremes who had been restrained also began to stir at this moment.
Wutian, who was trapped in the chain of Great Dao, had a face full of astonishment.
Roho laughed, “Actually, the five of us staged a play just to trick you out…”
He erupted into a hearty laughter, “Did you think we were having internal disputes?”
“To merge the ways and become the one and only zero-level Supreme, was a decision we five made one hundred and thirty-seven billion years ago!”
“All those who have the Supreme Dao are in the Primordial Continent, and only you were trapped in chaos, with unclear senses…”
“Tathagata had calculated long ago that you were bound to be completely corrupted, abandoning your identity as Haotian and becoming a complete demon!”
Du Gang stared dumbfounded at this scene, his brain struggling to keep up.
A devilish ancestor emitting a black aura, was actually calling someone else a Big Demon?
Also, didn’t Pangu pit the other four strongest Supremes? How come they suddenly became partners?!
Wutian’s face was changing unpredictably, enraged and embarrassed, he cursed, “You bastards, how dare you plot against me?!”
He didn’t expect that after he broke free and returned, these five individuals had disappeared for nearly ten billion years. As it turned out, they had set a trap for him.
A trap that was laid billions of years ago.
After cursing for a while and seeing that no one was responding to him, Wutian regained his calm and asked with knitted eyebrows, “Are you guys really this united?”
“Five Elemental Supremes, the five strongest Dao fruits in the world, can you really trust Pangu so much?”
“Also, are you willing to give up your own Dao fruits just to make a stranger successful?”
Wutian pointed at Du Gang, somewhat in disbelief.
If he were in their shoes, he would definitely not do this. He would rather integrate the Dao himself than let others interfere.
Roho laughed, his face radiating freedom, “Do you think we are like you?”
“A hundred billion years ago, the situation was even worse than you can imagine!”
“If we hadn’t existed, the world wouldn’t be as it is now, peaceful and stable!”
“Now, if self-destruction after possession would bring about billions of years of stability, um?”
He shook his head, “Not possible anymore!”
“There’s no chance left, this world is about to perish, there’s no second opportunity…”
“The only hope is to merge the Dao!”
“We’ve calculated that if someone can merge the Dao and attain the zero-level Supreme state, they can unite with the Heavenly Dao.”
“After unifying with the Heavenly Dao, the worlds of Yin and Yang will fully integrate…”
“At that time, everything will start anew, all beings will no longer be viruses or stowaways, but will become the true masters!”
Wutian frowned, “Aren’t you afraid that you will cease to exist at that time?”
Roho laughed and countered, “If you were faced with two roads now, one leading to death and the other potentially to life, which one would you choose?”
The five of them, a hundred billion years ago, had been using the River of Time to constantly deduce the future and find various possibilities.
In the end, they chose the best option, letting Du Gang be the one to merge the Dao.
At this time, it was Du Gang’s turn to be stunned, he muttered to himself, “Why me?”
Pangu smiled, “All gifts bestowed by fate come with hidden price tags already attached!”
“Let’s begin!”
Roho said solemnly on the side.
“Okay!”
At this moment the five Supremes swiftly moved to the positions representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Meanwhile, Du Gang was elevated and elegantly floated to the center of the altar.
He noticed that the cultivation levels of the five Supremes seemed to have been restored.
Obviously, their previous splitting from the Great Dao was just a deception to trick Wutian.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”
At this moment, all the sages standing in their respective formation positions around them, all underwent a transformation.
Each person turned into another, and at the same time, powerful auras began to emanate.
They were all disguises, each one of them was a Supreme.
The second and third level Supremes had long been disguised as sages, rushed to the scene, and staged this play in conjunction with the five strongest.
“You…”
At this moment, Wutian was a bit shaken, he hadn’t expected all the Supremes in the world to combine together to deceive him.
“Ha ha!”
Roho laughed heartily, “Doesn’t it feel glorious?”
“Before dying, you get to enjoy such a big treat, you’re so lucky!”
The other Supremes also laughed heartily.
If Wutian were still Haotian, they wouldn’t need to play a ruse, they could simply talk things over normally. But since Haotian had become Wutian, they had no choice but to do it this way.
“Du Gang, prepare to merge the Dao!!”
