Chapter 990: 725, three flowers gather at the crown, five energies face the origin

In Chaos, years are uncounted, and before one realizes it, a new sphere of Heaven and Earth stealthily takes shape and gradually perfects itself.

Unknown to Jiang Chen Pangu, the axe in his hand had shattered at some point, transforming into three treasures, the Tai Chi Diagram, Chaos Bell, and Pangu Banner.

The three treasures trembled, erupting with the power to pioneer sky and earth; either to smash Chaos, suppress the land’s fire, water, and wind, or evolve Heaven and Earth.

As for Jiang Chen Pangu, he was propping up the sky with both hands, using himself as the pillar of Heaven, supporting the newly born Heaven and Earth to prevent it from collapsing back into unity.

Jiang Chen Pangu pioneered the sky, changing nine times a day, and after nine days, his process concluded, divine in the heavens and sacred upon the earth.

Eighty-one changes in nine days, each change represented an Innate Dao body, corresponding to the Innate Path, containing the highest principles, embodying the Tao, and fundamental to creation and transformation.

After eighty-one changes, Jiang Chen’s understanding of the Tao of creation ascended to another level. Suddenly his body collapsed, then disintegrated, merging with the new Heaven and Earth, transforming into all things.

In an instant, it was many millennia, and in the blink of an eye, countless eons had passed.

As the flesh and blood of Jiang Chen Pangu infused into this nascent world, it became more and more perfected, with the Sun, Moon, and Stars, mountains and rivers, wind and rain, thunder and lightning... The universe in all its aspects, abound.

Heaven and Earth gradually moved towards perfection and then, reached their own point of ending. Immersed in enlightenment, Jiang Chen sensed that the moment for world destruction had arrived.

At once, he roused himself from enlightenment, ready to enact the devastation of Heaven and Earth. Once Heaven and Earth took shape, they could not be left to evolve on their own. Otherwise, once they gave birth to myriad living beings, it would not be so straightforward to obliterate them.

Humans are not vegetation; who can be entirely heartless? Once living beings exist, to kill would be sinful, and the sin would not lie with the heavens, but within one’s own heart.

To destroy worlds, one must be decisive. While there is yet no living being between Heaven and Earth, one must annihilate Heaven and Earth cleanly. Thus, there would be no kindness to falter the course of action.

However, just as Jiang Chen was about to act and destroy Heaven and Earth, the original source of Di Jun, which had been wandering in Chaos, suddenly stirred.

It transformed into a streak of golden light, surging into the new Heaven and Earth, merging with the inside of the Sun Star.

In an instant, changes occurred in the Sun Star. Its radiance increased by billions of times in a single moment, dazzlingly brilliant. It not only illuminated the new Heaven and Earth entirely, but also brightened the murky Chaos around it.

Squawk~~

Inside the Sun Star, a Golden Crow cried out and unleashed a strong fluctuation, as if the aura of creation surged, manifesting as a cascade of rainbow light.

Faintly, one could even see within the Sun Star the silhouette of a Three-legged Golden Crow spreading its wings and crying out. Such an event was clearly an omen of the Golden Crow’s nurturing.

Assisted by Di Jun’s original source, strange changes developed within the Sun Star, the power of creation inside surged as if about to give birth to a Three-legged Golden Crow.

This Three-legged Golden Crow, born from Di Jun’s original source, may or may not be an Innate Saint, but definitely an Innate Divine Demon, possibly no weaker than the nine Golden Crows that had already perished.

"Troublesome!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen frowned, then without waiting for the Golden Crow to be born, he directly initiated the world-destroying calamity to destroy this new world.

This Golden Crow, no matter how extraordinary, must not be born. This world belonged to Jiang Chen, and aside from him, there could be no second living being. In doing so, he could ensure everything in this realm remained his own.

Secondly, should the Golden Crow born from Di Jun’s original source encounter Di Jun one day, it might defect and join his ranks. Even if it did not defect, that Golden Crow would have no power to resist Di Jun, destined to be overpowered by him.

Such a Golden Crow, useless if kept, must be extinguished!

Thoughts of Calamity arise!

With Jiang Chen’s intent for world destruction, a massive black and profound vortex appeared at the very bottom of the newborn Heaven and Earth. It began to tremble violently as endless Qi of Demise burst forth from within.

Jiang Chen’s journey to the Ruined Land had not been in vain, for it had perfected his Tao and rectified his defects. Before, there was no Ruined Land within the world he opened, but now, there was.

As the Ruined Land trembled, Qi of Demise surged, the Immeasurable Kalpa was taking form, sprawling outwards, and wherever it passed, everything withered and decayed, heading towards its end.

What Jiang Chen had seen as the fledgling form of the Immeasurable Kalpa in the Ruined Land, he now brought into reality within the world he had created, using it to obliterate Heaven and Earth, bringing them to their ends.

According to Jiang Chen’s calculations, if one day he managed to evoke a true Immeasurable Kalpa, yet failed to destroy the world he had created, then his Tao would be complete, truly stepping into the realm of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

But now, it proved insufficient, as wherever the Immeasurable Kalpa traveled, even the laws of Heaven and Earth withered in an instant, shattering into nothingness.

Once again, Jiang Chen plunged into the path of enlightenment. Previously, he had pioneered sky and earth, and thus, he contemplated the Tao of creation. At this moment, as he annihilated Heaven and Earth, he contemplated the Tao of destruction.

And when destruction and creation are joined, they become Reincarnation, which meant Jiang Chen was contemplating the Way of Reincarnation.

All things in the world have a beginning and an end, which is Reincarnation. Only by stepping out of Reincarnation can one behold Eternity.

...

The power of the Immeasurable Kalpa was incredibly strong, obliterating Heaven and Earth in an instant. In a mere moment, the once complete world completely shattered, turning into endless Qi of destruction.
