Chapter 207 Finally Becoming a Great Luo
This sense of familiarity came from the Pangu Dao Body, not from him. After all, this was his first time in the Great Chaos Beyond the Boundary; there was no sense of familiarity here.
"What I need to cultivate is my own Pangu Dao Body, not a physical body formed from the remnants of Pangu's aura."
"Otherwise, is the Dao I attain Pangu's Dao, or my own?"
"Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die!"
"If I attain Dao through the Dao of Pangu, and one day Pangu reappears, he could assimilate me in an instant, turning me into his incarnation."
"In that case, wouldn't all my cultivation have been used to benefit someone else?"
The changes in the Pangu Dao Body filled Feng Zichen with an uncontrollable sense of fear. Was a body beyond his control truly his own?
Feng Zichen, who had previously been excited about absorbing Pangu's aura, now only felt endless regret. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
Originally, Pangu's Dao body, derived from the celestial bodies and deduced in reverse, possessed an incredibly pure aura, entirely belonging to him, and could have been used to attain enlightenment.
However, he went to unnecessary lengths, absorbing the remnants of Pangu's aura. While this brought him some benefits, it also impure his Dao body, tainting it with Pangu's aura and gradually transforming him into Pangu's physical form.
Fortunately, he discovered this early; otherwise, if he had directly used it to attain enlightenment without paying attention, his future would have been dire. He would have been perpetually influenced by Pangu, unable to change his ways.
Even if Pangu were to reappear in the future, out of compassion, and unwilling to refine him into an incarnation, his own Dao, being a branch of Pangu's Dao, would spontaneously gravitate towards Him, constantly assimilating under His influence, gradually becoming His incarnation.
This situation is entirely spontaneous and irreversible, something even Pangu could not prevent.
"At this moment, there's no rush to attain enlightenment. I should first extinguish the Pangu aura within my body."
Sitting cross-legged, Feng Zichen opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the surrounding chaotic energy into his body. He began to temper his body inch by inch, attempting to extinguish the Pangu aura.
However, Pangu's realm had reached an unimaginable level. Even the remaining aura contained immense power, making it extremely difficult for Feng Zichen to refine.
He exerted all his strength and spent several years without refining even a trace.
"No, this method is too inefficient. By the time I finish refining the Pangu aura, the Lich War will probably be over."
Realizing that this method was useless, Feng Zichen's heart stirred slightly. He visualized the Five Elements Demon Gods in his sea of consciousness in turn! Instantly, five-colored light emanated from his body, and five illusory figures of demon gods appeared.
"Turn!"
Pointing at the Five Elements Demon Gods, Feng Zichen fully activated his True Spirit Power, pushing the Five Elements Demon Gods to rotate according to the principles of the Five Elements cycle.
Rumble!
The Five Elements rotate, and creation arises!
As the Five Elements Demon Gods rotated, a five-colored millstone gradually took shape, drawing upon the power of the Great Dao from the darkness and crushing towards Feng Zichen.
"Ah..."
Excruciating pain! Unbearable pain!
As the five-colored millstone pressed down, Feng Zichen felt as if his body was being crushed, suffering immense pain and unable to help but cry out.
But its effect was also astonishing!
As the five-colored millstone rotated, wisps of Pangu's aura flew out from his body, gathering into a ball and floating in the air.
At the same time, as the five-colored millstone rotated, it also refined a large amount of chaotic energy into his body, continuously strengthening his physical body.
As time passed, Feng Zichen's physical body became stronger and stronger, gradually adapting to the power of the five-colored millstone, and he no longer felt pain. The Pangu aura within him had been almost completely extinguished.
"Heaven and Earth Furnace, emerge!"
The disappearance of the Pangu aura brought Feng Zichen a sigh of relief. But just to be on the safe side, he decided to add fuel to the fire and continue refining.
However, the Heaven and Earth Furnace, being a primordial divine power, inevitably suffered from some incompatibility upon arriving in the Chaos. It showed signs of disintegration the moment it appeared.
"Hmph!"
With a soft exclamation, Feng Zichen exhaled a stream of chaotic energy, transforming it into countless chaotic runes, which he imprinted onto the Heaven and Earth Furnace, stabilizing it.
Simultaneously, the Five-Colored Millstone transformed again into the phantom of the Five Elements Demon Gods, also imprinting itself onto the Heaven and Earth Furnace, enhancing its power.
Then, the Chaos Pearl and the World Tree appeared in the Chaos, drawing upon the chaotic energy from all directions, transforming it into chaotic fire that burned towards the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
"Gah..."
Inside the Heaven and Earth Furnace, intense pain struck again, so much so that Feng Zichen could barely speak, only able to groan.
This time, he was determined to completely eradicate the Pangu aura from his body.
Therefore, whenever the power of the Heaven and Earth Furnace failed, he would summon a Chaos Demon God's mark and empower the furnace.
After an unknown amount of time, the Heaven and Earth Furnace could no longer withstand the power of the Chaos Demon God, and with a deafening roar, it shattered into countless fragments and vanished into nothingness.
Feng Zichen awoke as a result. He was now completely different from before.
Through this tempering, his previous innate Dao body and the reversed Pangu Dao body had perfectly merged, becoming indistinguishable.
He could now be called: Pangu Zichen!
Moreover, the Pangu aura within him had completely disappeared and would no longer affect him.
"Having delayed for so long, it's time to prove my Dao!"
Having resolved the hidden dangers in his body, Feng Zichen finally began his Dao-proving process.
At this moment, brilliant light shone from Feng Zichen's body, and the laws of the Great Dao manifested… numerous extraordinary phenomena appeared.
Finally, all these phenomena converged into a purple star, slowly rising from above his head and heading straight for the origin of chaos.
This is Ziwei Star, the Dao of Stars, the embodiment of Feng Zichen's Dao essence, and his current highest achievement.
Within the chaos, countless Great Daos manifested, striking towards Ziwei Star, attempting to knock it down and prevent it from reaching the origin of chaos.
"A tribulation to obstruct the Dao?"
Feng Zichen wasn't surprised. Even in the primordial era, there were tribulations to obstruct the Dao; naturally, chaos would too.
However, most of the Chaos Demons were suppressed by Pangu beneath Mount Buzhou. How much power could their corresponding Great Dao currently exert?
Sinking his mind into Ziwei Star, Feng Zichen steered it, clashing with the numerous Great Daos, verifying each other, absorbing their essence, filling in gaps, and constantly refining his own Great Dao, making it increasingly perfect.
In this way, Ziwei Star grew stronger and more perfect, until finally, it broke through the blockade of the numerous Great Daos and arrived at the origin of chaos.
As long as the Great Dao was imprinted here, a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be achieved. Currently, most of the Chaos Gods are suppressed under Mount Buzhou by Pangu, and the few remaining Chaos Gods are all striving to recover their strength.
No one is stopping Feng Zichen from proving his Dao.
Stepping forward, he imprinted the Dao of Stars onto the Chaos Origin.
He has achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
