"Ha ha ha!"

The mysterious figure was engulfed in a flash of immortal light, and the aura belonging to the Space-Time Great Dao rushed forward, causing the heaven and earth to tremble. Then he burst into laughter and said: "Before Hong Jun came Heaven, Yang Mei the Great Immortal already existed. Space and time unite, without beginning or end, as Chaos splits to birth slumber under the moon. Distorting the past and present, Heaven and Earth change, I stand at the pinnacle of the myriad Dao!"

"Do you still not recognize me, Daoist friend?"

Between the tremors of the void, a phantom of an Empty Heart Willow suddenly appeared behind the mysterious person, its branches seemingly flowing with the endless force of time.

"Yang Mei?"

Xuanqing was taken aback, then frowned and said: "No, your Great Dao... You have mastered the Time Great Dao of that other being, and with the integration of space and time, you have been re-certified as a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?"

"That’s right!"

The projection of Yang Mei nodded immediately.

"No wonder!"

Xuanqing sneered and said: "I was wondering why I couldn’t see through you. It turns out that after uniting space and time, you have concealed your own causality and fate!"

So far, the only ones Xuanqing couldn’t see through were Pangu and Hong Jun. Even for Luo Hou... he could roughly make out the other’s authenticity and deception.

Pangu was by far stronger than him in might, while Hong Jun was merged with the Heavenly Dao, reducing himself into nothingness, and had hidden all his imprints and causality within the Heavenly Dao.

As for Yang Mei, after proving his Dao again with the Space-Time Great Dao, he used it to tuck away his own causality, naturally obscuring his presence from Xuanqing.

The current projection of Yang Mei seemed illusory and unreal, as if it didn’t exist in this space and time at all, all because of the Space-Time Great Dao.

The past and future are called the universe; all through the ages are called the cosmos. To watch it is to see no edge; to explore it is neverending, and the river of time stretches through the endless eons of past, present, and future.

Yang Mei united with space and time, with his being the universe itself, and at the Primordial Chaos starting point, encompassing all beings, naturally, he could easily conceal his own destiny.

And Xuanqing, the reason why he sensed a very familiar aura on Yang Mei, but couldn’t discern his identity, was precisely because his Great Dao and essence were now altogether different!

Now, Yang Mei possessed both the Space Great Dao of the Space Demon God and the Time Great Dao of the Time Demon God, thus he had forged his own path.

These two Dao were too mighty, omnipresent, and upon merging, they became infinitely profound, not inferior to the Immortal Dao or Demon Path.

Because any Great Dao, any creature, any material, as long as it hasn’t transcended the Chaotic Universe, exists within the universe and among the streams of space and time.

This Dao, like the Power Great Dao, innately possesses the capacity to contain all other Dao.

If it weren’t for Yang Mei lacking the "Creation Jade Disc," if he had refined more principles with the Space-Time Great Dao, perhaps he would be even stronger than Hong Jun who has merged with the Heavenly Dao.

Having his doubts resolved, Xuanqing immediately laughed and said: "Heroes under the heavens are numerous as crucian carp across the river. I have underestimated Daoist Yang Mei! Who would have thought, Daoist Yang Mei, that you would walk such a unique path?"

His knowledge of Yang Mei was still from the aftermath of the great Dao Demon War, when Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang fell, and Yang Mei chose to leave the Primordial World to save his life.

At the same time, he had a guess about Yang Mei’s plan: Yang Mei’s purpose was to use the Chaos Demon Gods’ remains and essence from that world to add bricks and tiles to his own Space-Time Great Dao.

Just as he said, with all the Saints tied down and Xuanqing’s main body not at the Undying Volcano, there really wasn’t anyone who could stop his true form!

"However..."

"Daoist Yang Mei, you wish to use the essence of the Chaos Demon Gods from that world to bolster your own Great Dao, but I’m afraid that idea won’t work!"

A slight smile appeared on Xuanqing’s face: "Since you knew that I was the first to discover that world and I also freed myself from the shackles of the Chaos Demon Gods, why wouldn’t I make use of that world to perfect my Dao Fruit?"

"Why?"

Yang Mei suddenly frowned.

Xuanqing smiled and said: "You think, since that place was part of Pangu’s design, that that Pangu guy wouldn’t leave behind a contingency plan there?"

Boom!

As the voice of Xuanqing fell, a Divine Axe light that can cleave heaven and earth emerged in the Undying Volcano, and Yang Mei’s true form, along with Yuan Feng, were split out instantly.

The resentment of the many fallen Chaos Demon Gods and the Evil Qi generated from their corpses instantly formed an axe capable of splitting the heaven and earth.

Inside the Undying Volcano, the power of countless Fire Evils converged into a Pangu phantom, shaking heaven and earth, and its terrifying might spread towards the Four Seas and Eight Desolates.

The true form of Yang Mei, as well as the projection of Yang Mei, changed their expressions instantly.

"Pangu!"

The projection of Yang Mei looked disapprovingly at Xuanqing: "Since you knew well in advance about the contingency plan of Pangu there, why would you leave a manifestation to guard it?"

With Pangu’s contingency in place, what need was there for Xuanqing’s protection? Wasn’t it redundant?

Xuanqing smiled and said: "The things in that place aren’t totally unusable. If it aligns with Pangu’s intentions, naturally, I could make use of some of it!"

Yang Mei might not see the truth of Yang Mei clearly, but he had once seen the future of the Undying Volcano through endless timelines.

When that world met a catastrophe, the "Devastating Divine Fire" that burns Chaos God Demons would combine with endless Evil Qi to form a phantom of Pangu.

Therefore, at the beginning, he ignored the remains of so many Chaos Demon Gods.

Not until later, did he dare to tentatively collect some Chaos Demon Gods’ remains to strengthen the "Four Swords of Slaying Immortal" and the Array Map after he had transformed the Undying Volcano into the "Eternal Furnace," pushing the evolution of the Primordial World.

Even, this could be considered a trade, helping Pangu to perfect the Primordial World, then taking away some demon gods’ remains from that world as a reward.

Naturally, he would not trigger Pangu’s contingency.

But Yang Mei planning to directly seize that world, it would be strange if he did not touch Pangu’s backups!

"Open Heaven!"

The Fire Evil giant wielding the Divine Axe struck, and the sound of opening heaven resonated throughout the heavens and the universe. Yang Mei didn’t dare to meet it head-on and intended to take Yuan Feng and leave the Primordial World.

But how could the contingency Pangu left behind in that world be so simple?

Millions of fire veins surge into the sky, transforming into colossal dragons that seal the heavens and the earth, turning the billions of miles around the Undying Volcano into forbidden territory.

Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, attempted to open a void channel to leave the Primordial World, but before the channel could be forged, it was suppressed by endless divine power.

"Void-breaking!"

"Shape Cutting!"

Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, with a face of helplessness, could only activate his divine skills to confront the measures Pangu had left behind.

"Phoenix True Fire!"

Yuan Feng let out a great shout, and behind her a shadow of the "Chinese Parasol Tree" emerged, with myriad true fires spreading out, the boundless true fire instantly swept across the vault of heaven.

But even if Yuan Feng ruled over myriad fires, her flames, compared to the "Devastating Divine Fire," were as the light of a rice grain to the resplendent sun.

Nowadays, Yuan Feng, having already become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, was originally one of the very top creatures in the Primordial World. With the aid of Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, achieving the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal status was not so out of the ordinary.

Seeing Yuan Feng appear, and achieving the Dao as a Primordial Daluo, many of the Phoenix Clan were overjoyed to the point of tears.

But facing the enemy that Yuan Feng encountered, they couldn’t help but feel anxious for her.

A person’s reputation casts a long shadow!

Faced with Pangu, who forged the world and transformed into the Primordial—who could maintain their composure?

The shadow of Pangu swung his axe, nothing could withstand it, nothing could survive, with Chaos True Intent pervading the heavens, myriad Great Dao instantly obliterated into nothingness.

"Distorting the ancient, disordering the present!"

Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, somewhat helplessly, released a Great Divine Power, the force of endless years spreading out, evolving endless space-time before him and Yuan Feng, thus sparing them from immediate annihilation.

But the Time Great Dao, within the Primordial World, is taboo. No sooner had Yang Mei activated his divine skill than the force of the Heavenly Dao enacted a Heavenly Punishment that instantly fell.

Boom!

The power of the Heavenly Dao roared, the force of destruction trembling the universe, vast stretches of the void turned to dust.

"Hong Jun!"

Yang Mei immediately gritted his teeth.

He did not believe that the descent of Heavenly Punishment by the Heavenly Dao had nothing to do with Hong Jun.

Faced with the formidable shadow of Pangu and the destruction-laden Heavenly Punishment above him, even Yang Mei couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

He could only look to Yuan Feng: "Buy me a moment’s time, I will break through the prison! We must leave now, or we may indeed have to stay in the Undying Volcano forever!"

"Alright!"

Yuan Feng immediately nodded, thousand of divine fires coalesced into a sun disc, emitting boundless light and heat, then fiercely struck towards the shadow of Pangu.

But such divine skills, when they hit the shadow of Pangu, did not cause any harm at all.

"Great Space-Time Technique!"

Meanwhile, Yang Mei, the Great Immortal took the opportunity to activate a supreme Great Divine Power, uniting space-time, using the force of endless space-time to forcefully break through the blockade of Pangu’s shadow.

However, at that moment, the axe light from Pangu’s shadow fell instantly, splitting Yuan Feng’s physical body and Dharma Form with the Evil Qi Giant Axe.

"Nirvana!"

Interwoven fires converge, and the intent of life and death circulates—if it weren’t for Yuan Feng possessing the Nirvana Skill, she would likely have been cleaved by the axe light, leaving no trace behind.

In the void, a phoenix egg emerged, drawing the power from endless fire veins, then transforming into Yuan Feng’s strength, yet her aura became infinitely weakened.

Clearly, utilizing the Nirvana Divine Power to forcibly reverse life and death, escaping from Pangu’s shadow’s catastrophe, was not without cost.

"Go!"

Yang Mei, the Great Immortal, using the power of space-time, evolved a vast hand, grabbing towards Yuan Feng and directly stepping into the void channel he crafted with his divine skill.

Though Pangu’s imprint draws support from the Undying Volcano, with a continuing source of power, it was still not enough to be on par with Pangu’s true self.

Therefore, Yang Mei could still retreat unscathed, albeit at a certain price.

However...

For a short while, both Yang Mei and Yuan Feng, it seems, would not dare to enter the Primordial World again!

Elsewhere.

Xuanqing leisurely watched the projection of Yang Mei, and laughed: "It seems that despite your superior strength, my Daoist friend, you are still not a match for Pangu!"

At once, the complexion of Yang Mei’s projection darkened, if he could overpower Pangu, why would he have resorted to such means to attract the attention of the saints of the Primordial World?

He immediately scoffed: "Does Daoist Xuanqing think he can overcome Pangu?"

"Cannot!"

Xuanqing shook his head, but secretively ordered Taiching and others to hold back Houtu, Jieyin, and Zhunti, for he had a grand plan to carry out at this moment.

Now, with several Saints occupied, it was the best opportunity to deploy his plan.

He also had to thank Yang Mei!
