Chapter 546: Chapter 546

During this process, the Dao Qi exhibited by the Demon God was something Nezha could also draw from, sip a bit of the soup, and gain insight. Knowing that eating the food or taking the goods of others makes one obligated, Nezha conscientiously began to work. Every so often, he would patrol, and upon detecting signs of cohesion, he would actively intervene.

Firstly, this reduced Yuanshi Tianzun's workload and accelerated the Demon God's demise. Secondly, it served as an experiment for his Magic Powers. Thirdly, it increased his understanding of the Demon God, preparing him for future adversaries.

In the end, Yuanshi Tianzun directly lent the Pangu Banner to Nezha, as his focus was largely dedicated to restoring himself.

Nezha was greatly attentive, and Yuanshi Tianzun was not stingy. He had already discerned that Nezha's cultivation was at the threshold of Quasi-Saint, in a state needing only one last push. Occasionally, he would lecture Nezha on such matters.

Yuanshi Tianzun was after all a Saint who organized the Yuqing Immortal Method, this top-level cultivation encyclopedia. In terms of teaching, he's put in great effort. His explanations on cultivation were far more comprehensible than Nuwa, who only had a single disciple. Compared to Nuwa's slightly wild teaching methods, his was more akin to elite training. With Yuanshi Tianzun's systematic insights, Nezha gained enough confidence to step into Quasi-Saint.

After cultivating with Yuanshi Tianzun for over a thousand years, Nezha started attempting the breakthrough to Quasi-Saint. Yuanshi Tianzun took a brief look, nodded, and then focused once more on monitoring the Split Demon God beneath.

This breakthrough of Nezha's was indeed quite effortless. In just over three thousand years, he naturally reached Quasi-Saint, gaining a clearer understanding of the Great Dao he wielded.

Currently, he had the most comprehensive control over the False Dao from the Creation Jade Scroll. In this Dao, he was presently the one with the highest command. In terms of the other Daos, such as the Five Elements Dao, Yin Yang Dao, Space Dao, and the way of creation, there had been not insignificant improvements. However, in these Daos, either someone's complete control made them hopeless to become the Dao or there were simply too many practitioners, making full dominion time-consuming and arduous. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel_fіre.net

Lastly, there was the Power Dao. Nezha still couldn't quite grasp this Dao. While for the other Daos, Nezha could perhaps perceive a progress bar towards full control, the Power Dao remained utterly opaque.

According to Nezha's understanding, while other Daos had their limits, the Power Dao did not. The stronger your power, the further you would naturally travel along this Dao.

Even its compatibility was unmatched by other Daos. Without limits, it wouldn't be dominated. Did Pangu fully master this Dao of Power after creating heaven? Not entirely, it seems; otherwise, he wouldn't have exhausted himself. In truth, the gap between Nezha and Pangu could just be a trillion points of strength. He could merely sigh that the cultivation of this Dao was truly unadorned.

Now a Quasi-Saint, Nezha no longer bore a qualitative gap to the top-tier immortals of the Primordial era, even surpassing them. While other Quasi-Saints were defined by their realms, Nezha had fused with Hongmeng Purple Qi, making his Quasi-Saint more of a testament.

Already marked by the character of a Saint, Nezha felt astonishingly powerful!

Entrusted with the Pangu Banner, he continued pummeling the Split Demon God underfoot. This Demon God, within the ranks of Demon Gods, wasn't particularly formidable but was indeed resilient and tenacious.

After such an extended period, Nezha had essentially understood its abilities, which involved devouring and digesting everything into energy for its division. The singular way to utterly eliminate it was to deplete its energy and completely extinguish its division law.

Just having broken through, Nezha was like an overly energetic child with nowhere to expend his energies. Each day, he would wield the Pangu Banner to strike the Split Demon God here and slash it there.

Even demons renowned for chaos like chaos Demon Gods grew weary, barely amassing energy before it was divided into individuals and promptly erased. Even Yuanshi Tianzun knew you cut the grass only after it's grown long; you're directly uprooting it?

Not without resistance, the Demon God did retaliate. But unfortunately, behind him stood an even mightier Yuanshi Tianzun. Even at full power, three against one, he was overwhelmed; now, he was truly done for.

Thus, under Nezha's diligent reaping, the power of the Split Demon God rapidly declined. At a certain critical point, Yuanshi Tianzun intervened directly, putting it to death.

The Split Demon God, perished!

From afar, Nezha gazed at the grand scene of Yuanshi Tianzun slaying the Demon God, his heart surging with emotion. Yuanshi Tianzun carried the battle, one against three — one dead, one severely injured, and one fled. Presently, the battle record was clear, 2/0.

The Demon God was slain, signaling the conclusion of Nezha's cultivation journey with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun collected the Demon God's essence and summoned Nezha, extending a hand to point out that the Pangu Banner, nine bright red orbs like glazed beads, and light clusters appeared before Nezha: "These are the Demon God's eyes that curse Guang Chengzi and others. Go to Kunlun after your return, and you can remove their curse. This is Nanji's True Spirit; upon returning to the Primordial, you shall send him to reincarnation."

Nezha was somewhat surprised.

"Second Martial Uncle, aren't you going back?"

Yuan Shi Venerable shook his head. When he heard the other Five Saints leave the Primordial, he understood whose intention it was. If the Primordial were likened to a school, then Hong Jun would be the absolute authority, the old principal, and the Six Saints would be the six teachers under the principal, the multitude of sentient beings being students.

Now, the school was expanding, intending to select another teacher, and the old principal temporarily sent the former teachers out so as to not interfere, hoping for a student-led selection process to promote one. Yuanshi Tianzun naturally wouldn't foolishly rush back.

Besides, wasn't the Primordial a kind of cage for them? Now, with a legitimate excuse to skip class, would you willingly return for overtime?

The distinction and prestige of a Saint stemmed from their duty and power, but no Saint enjoys going to work!

No grandiloquent parting necessary among immortals. Having attended to matters, Yuanshi Tianzun decisively departed, and Nezha continued aboard the Taiyi Dao Palace back to the Primordial.

Nezha, pushing forward while contemplating the Quasi-Saint path, found himself increasingly dulled to the passage of time as a Quasi-Saint, something perhaps intrinsic to the Immortal Species.

After a considerable span, he finally approached the Primordial. He expected his thrilling chaotic journey to conclude, yet, as often, the unexpected happened.

For Nezha unexpectedly encountered an old acquaintance, Randeng Old Deng.

Randeng, it seemed, was fortunate. Last time, when chasing Nezha, he ran into Yuanshi Tianzun. It's uncertain whether it was Yuanshi Tianzun's past acquaintanceship, but he didn't extend his hands to Randeng when dealing with the Corrupt Demon God's incarnation.

Thus, Randeng fared well, astonishingly so, because the Corrupt Demon God was already gravely wounded, and upon losing an incarnation to Yuanshi Tianzun, and subsequently weakening further while invading Primordial.

At present, Randeng managed to sustain himself and even gained substantial autonomy. Though his body, transformed by chaotic corruption, was not what it used to be, it surpassed the form built by the Investiture of the Gods. With prior backup and resources, his cultivation revived to a Quasi-Saint level, heralding a second spring in his cultivation.

Being an immortal born in the Primordial, he didn't acclimate well within Chaos, generally moving near Primordial yet beyond it, where the primordial order radiated better conditions than within Chaos. Also, the Corrupt Demon God, wary, dared not channel much power there.

Who knows if Nezha had an extraordinary fate with the Chan Sect, but he inevitably bumped into his former Vice Sect Hierarch, Randeng on his return. Nezha concealed himself and observed Old Lamp, discovering his well-being and finding his mind somewhat displeased.

Having wronged me, I won't allow your life to be this comfortable!

By now, Nezha's cultivation matched Randeng's, equipped with means to affect him. Unaware within his Immortal Palace, Randeng was completely oblivious to Nezha lurking at the door.

He hadn't neglected protective arrays and surveillance, but being from the Chan Sect, Nezha, a formation master, trained with Yuanshi Tianzun for some time. Directly dismantling them wasn't necessary; finding a back door was easy.

Nezha wouldn't spare an enemy; he took stock of the situation and directly unleashed a Big Move. The Chaos Bell and Pangu Banner hovered overhead, while ancient grey array patterns manifested across his body. His form and power surged, as he made a grasping gesture forward.
