Chapter 956: 707 Demon God’s arm, depart_2

Subconsciously, Jiang Chen shifted his steps, wanting to head towards Chaos Lake, but the Five Elements talisman exploded abruptly, unleashing layers upon layers of five-colored divine light, pushing his body backward.

The Five Elements talisman had truly reached its limit. It did not only stop Jiang Chen from advancing but also burst forth autonomously, pushing him back.

"Pangu Dao Body, activate!"

After deep contemplation, Jiang Chen realized that the only thing he had that could possibly be of use in Ruined Land was the Great Dao passed down from Pangu.

This was his last chance. If he succeeded, he would gain a heaven-defying opportunity. If he failed, he would have no choice but to beat a path back home.

Without any hesitation, after many years, Jiang Chen once again activated Emperor Pan’s Heavenly Divine Great Dao Scripture.

Boom!

Inside his body, Chaos surged massively and then exploded abruptly. Divine Orifices reemerged one after another, and deities were reborn, continuously chanting.

In an instant, the aura on Jiang Chen’s body underwent a significant change. An unsurpassed, sacred breath emanated from him, vast and profound as Heaven and Earth itself.

This was the breath of Pangu, of Heaven, of Earth, and of all things!

Hum hum hum...

Feeling the aura of Pangu from Jiang Chen, Ruined Land trembled at this moment. Within the dark space, mysterious patterns emerged. These were the manifestations of Ruined Land’s rules, containing the mysteries of the universe’s demise.

Whoosh!

Chaos Lake was also trembling, raising huge waves of Chaos. Mount Buzhou was vibrating, resonating with the Pangu aura emanating from Jiang Chen.

Purple glows burst forth from Mount Buzhou, incredibly brilliant, illuminating the ends of Ruined Land until it was completely translucent.

At this time, Jiang Chen finally saw the scenery behind Chaos Lake. It was a vast vortex of Chaos with boundless calamitous Qi surging, emitting decayed, ominous, and doomsday auras.

This vortex was the embodiment of all disasters, encapsulating all concepts of destruction. It was the womb of the Immeasurable Kalpa; if an Immeasurable Kalpa were to erupt in the future, it would spew forth from this vortex.

Just by glancing at it, a destructive power began to grow within Jiang Chen, threatening to obliterate everything about him. At the same time, his spirit was sinking, lost in darkness, on the verge of complete annihilation.

His future was turning bleak, and the traces of his past existence also started to blur, as though they were pencil drawings being erased by an eraser.

Immeasurable Kalpa, this was the most extreme of powers, even surpassing the Primordial Chaos Stage. How could Jiang Chen fathom it?

Just a moment was enough to end his life, to erase all traces of his existence, to completely obliterate him from this world.

The power of Immeasurable Kalpa could even destroy the Chaos World, let alone an Innate Dao Sovereign. It was one of the few forces in Prehistoric World capable of utterly slaying an Innate Dao Sovereign.

Hum hum hum...

At the critical moment, the Dao mirror above Jiang Chen’s head suddenly lit up, sending out ripples that spread around it, seemingly resonating with something.

Then they saw that at the center of Mount Buzhou, an ethereal axe appeared, trembling slightly before bursting with brilliant light, severing the connection between Jiang Chen and the vortex.

In an instant, Jiang Chen came to his senses, breaking out in a cold sweat. A moment ago, he was on the verge of complete descent and annihilation. The feeling of being close to death was truly unbearable.

"The Ruined Land is indeed fraught with danger."

After the scare, Jiang Chen’s heart was filled with indescribable joy. Because, just then, he noticed the pressure from Ruined Land had suddenly weakened a great deal, almost to nothing.

This meant his guess was correct; the breath of Pangu did indeed weaken the negative forces produced by Ruined Land.

"A piece of Pangu Axe?"

Jiang Chen looked up, clearly seeing a giant axe at the center of Mount Buzhou that was gently trembling. And above Jiang Chen’s head, the Dao mirror was also trembling at the same frequency.

From the response of the Dao mirror, it was evident that the giant axe was indeed transformed from a fragment of the Pangu Axe. It was precisely because of his collaboration with the fragment of Mount Buzhou that they managed to suppress the carcass of the Chaos Demigod. Otherwise, the fragment of Mount Buzhou alone might not have been able to suppress the Chaos Demigod.

After all, Mount Buzhou was shattered, and its main body taken away by the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, who refinined it into the Heaven Overturning Seal. The fragments here are just scraps, and their power is truly limited.

Similarly, it was precisely because of the resonance between the fragments of Mount Buzhou, the Pangu Axe fragments, the Dao Mirror, and the Pangu Qi on Jiang Chen’s body that the influence of Ruined Land on him was weakened.

"Haha, it seems that this object is fated to be mine!"

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but burst into laughter. If it weren’t for his entry into the Tao with Pangu’s method, he would have fearfully returned empty-handed from this treasure mountain today.

It’s a pity, though, he couldn’t move the Pangu Axe fragments; otherwise, the Dao Mirror might have reached a higher level.

Once again, Jiang Chen took a step forward, and the fragment of Mount Buzhou violently trembled before him, causing the power of the Ruined Land to rapidly diminish and struggle to affect his body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The Five Elements jade charms vibrated, casting down a radiant five-colored brilliance but did not continue to block Jiang Chen. Instead, they protected him.

A hundred zhang, merely a blink of an eye, and Jiang Chen had crossed it, arriving at the edge of Chaos Lake.

Even with the blessing of Mount Buzhou, Jiang Chen still felt an immense pressure in this place. Knowing it was not wise to stay long, he quickly displayed his Divine Ability, reaching toward the Demon God’s arm ahead of him.

However, the Chaos Qi on the Demon God’s arm was vast, directly shattering Jiang Chen’s Divine Ability. The gap between them was too great; even with Jiang Chen beside the Demon God’s arm, he was unable to take it.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen paused in shock, then spurred the Dao Mirror, shining it upon the Demon God’s arm.

"If I can’t do it, then let’s use the power of Pangu Great God."

Jiang Chen steeled himself and drove the Dao Mirror with all his strength. Inside the Dao Mirror, the giant projection of Pangu trembled violently.

Then, the projection of Pangu suddenly opened its eyes and extended a hand, reaching through the mirror’s surface to grasp the Demon God’s arm in the Chaos Lake, grabbing it up.

Boom, boom, boom!

The power of the Demon God’s arm was strong, but it ultimately could not withstand Pangu’s power. No matter how vast the Chaos Qi was, it couldn’t escape the grasp of Pangu’s large hand and was firmly captured, being pulled towards the Dao Mirror.

However, just as the Demon God’s arm drew near the Dao Mirror, an unforeseen change occurred.

A crack sound was heard, and a fine crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the Dao Mirror. The power of the Demon God’s arm was too strong, exceeding the limit that the Dao Mirror could bear, unable to contain its power, and it was forcibly split.

The Dao Mirror eventually shattered; it had not yet recovered to the level of an Innate Treasure and was merely an exquisite Innate Spiritual Treasure, so it was normal that it could not withstand the Demon God’s arm, which was comparable to an Innate Treasure.

"How can one simply relinquish a treasure that has come into their hands?"

Fortunately, the Dao Mirror, although mystical, was not the most powerful Magic Treasure on Jiang Chen’s body. A glint of azure light bloomed between his eyebrows. Then, a Chaos Green Lotus emerged, swaying into existence, its platform catching and collecting the Demon God’s arm.

The Chaos Green Lotus, Jiang Chen’s life-bound spiritual treasure, was a Chaotic Spiritual Treasure with power equivalent to an Innate Treasure. Though the Demon God arm’s power was immense, it couldn’t suppress it.

Swish...

After seizing the Demon God’s arm, the Chaos Green Lotus turned into a streak of clear light and, in a flash, returned to Jiang Chen’s brow.

"Hsss~"

"So heavy, so swollen!"

In an instant, Jiang Chen felt his head become heavy and bloated, as though stuffed full of countless things, making everything feel cloudy and drowsy.

The power of the Demon God’s arm was too strong, and even though the Chaos Green Lotus suppressed it, some of it still leaked out, affecting Jiang Chen.

"I must leave this place quickly. Once I return to the outside world, the power of the Human King’s Dao Fruit will revive, and I can easily suppress the power of the Demon God’s arm."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen realized it was time to leave. At the same time, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart—as if staying here would bring untold dangers.

ps: The Ruined Land plotline has come to an end. Though this story arc seems unrelated to the main plot, it was necessary, for it brought necessary strength improvement.
