Chapter 218 Pangu's Finger Bone
"Clang!"
A heavy sound of something hitting the ground startled Feng Zichen from his cultivation.
"What is this?"
Opening his eyes, Feng Zichen saw a small piece of jade on the ground beneath the Chaos Demon God.
Clearly, this jade had fallen from His body.
Although called small, the jade wasn't actually small, about 100,000 zhang tall.
It was only because the Chaos Demon God beside Him was so enormous that it appeared incredibly small.
The jade was purple, with a faint purple aura flowing around it, revealing an aura of nobility. Thousands of paths surrounded it, as if it were the origin of the Great Dao, the master of all paths, capable of suppressing the heavens and the universe, past and future.
"Pangu's aura!"
From this purple jade, Feng Zichen sensed a familiar aura.
It was Pangu's aura!
Then, as if realizing something, he couldn't help but sway, transforming into a million-zhang tall figure, to examine the purple jade closely.
"As expected!"
After his body grew larger, Feng Zichen looked at the purple jade again, taking in its full size, and made a different discovery.
The shape of the purple jade looked more and more like a finger bone. Comparing it to his own finger bone, he found that there was indeed a similarity.
Thus, Feng Zichen confirmed: this purple jade was a finger bone of Pangu!
It should be known that Feng Zichen's physical body was modeled after Pangu's Dao body.
Its internal structure and shape were largely similar to Pangu's Dao body, with only minor differences.
And this piece of purple jade was more than 80% similar to Feng Zichen's finger bone. Moreover, this jade contained pure Pangu's aura. Its origin was self-evident.
"No wonder this Chaos Demon God died so completely, his physical body almost obliterated."
"So, between his brows, there was a section of Pangu's finger bone, constantly releasing power to obliterate everything about him!"
Feng Zichen had been wondering how Pangu, despite his immense power, could maintain such strength after countless ages, continuously eroding the Chaos Demon God's body.
Now, seeing Pangu's finger bone, Feng Zichen understood everything. With this, Pangu's power would be inexhaustible.
"What a great fortune! What a great opportunity!"
After the initial shock, only excitement remained in Feng Zichen's heart.
In the primordial world, anything associated with Pangu was a treasure, blessed by heaven and earth, and imbued with immense fortune.
Moreover, this was Pangu's bone!
If this object hadn't been used to suppress the Chaos Demon God, but instead fallen into the primordial world, it would most likely have developed sentience, transformed into a primordial god or demon, and become a powerful being who shook the primordial world.
However, that was when the Pangu finger bone was at its peak. Now, it no longer possesses that ability.
After being entangled with the Chaos Demon God for so many years, the Chaos Demon God's physical body was nearly destroyed, and the Pangu finger bone was not without its own depletion.
Its essence had long been exhausted, and its divine aura of the Great Dao was almost entirely gone.
Only its hard bone structure remained unchanged!
Again, if the Pangu finger bone were still at its peak, it would have been taken by Hongjun Daoist many years ago, and wouldn't have been left to Feng Zichen. However, as long as the Pangu finger bone wasn't completely destroyed, it remained a primordial treasure and would be of great use to Feng Zichen.
The Pangu finger bone, part of Pangu's body, naturally possessed a portion of the primordial destiny. Hongjun Daoist might not value this destiny, but Feng Zichen certainly did!
Simply by enshrining it in the ancestral temple of humanity, he could receive the blessing of primordial destiny, suppress the destiny of humanity, and ensure the continued existence of the human race. He could also gain the favor of heaven and earth, giving birth to more geniuses.
Therefore, the Pangu finger bone, besides its practical significance, also held great symbolic meaning.
First, he fully released the aura of the Pangu Dao body, then activated the innate merit within his body, trying to make his aura as close as possible to Pangu's.
Only then did he step forward and grasp the Pangu finger bone!
Perhaps it was the Pangu aura within Feng Zichen that had an effect, for the Pangu finger bone offered no resistance and was easily taken into his hand.
Instantly, purple light burst forth, and an incredibly ancient scene emanated from Pangu's finger bone, flooding into Feng Zichen's sea of consciousness.
It was a scene from the very beginning of creation!
In the primordial chaos, when Pangu collapsed from exhaustion, his body transforming into all things, a Chaos Demon God suddenly appeared. Taking advantage of Pangu's weakness, it frantically attacked the primordial world, attempting to destroy it and recreate the chaos.
At that time, Pangu's flesh and blood had completely dissipated, leaving only a skeleton. He raised his right hand and pointed it towards the Chaos Demon God's brow.
Even then, Pangu's tendency to transform into all things did not diminish; instead, it intensified.
He had just used his remaining strength to kill the Chaos Demon God, and before he could retract his arm, his skeleton scattered and merged into the primordial world.
One finger bone remained in the Chaos Demon God's brow, falling with him to the bottom of the Void.
"This Chaos Demon God is truly ungrateful!"
"He barely survived the Great Calamity of Creation, yet he doesn't know how to cherish it. Instead of going into seclusion to heal his wounds in the depths of Chaos, he runs off to his death in the Primordial World!"
"How foolish!"
The Great Calamity of Creation was terrifying. Even the Primordial Golden Immortals, who were said to be of one primordial state, indestructible through countless calamities, and eternally existing, perished in it. Even beings above the Primordial level perished in the calamity.
It was arguably the most widespread, profound, and powerful calamity in history!
That Chaos Demon God was fortunate enough to survive this calamity, a blessing that was more than he could ask for. Yet, he single-mindedly went to his death, leaving one speechless.
Perhaps Pangu's exhaustion gave him immense confidence, leading him to such an unwise act.
When cultivation reaches its limit, a single line of difference is the difference between heaven and earth, something unattainable. Why didn't that Chaos Demon God understand this?
For example, if Hongjun Daoist were to appear before Feng Zichen now, gravely injured and on the verge of death, He would absolutely not dare to make a move.
The difference between Him and Hongjun Daoist is beyond description.
Even if Hongjun Daoist lay motionless, allowing Feng Zichen to fight for years, He would not be able to harm him in the slightest.
They are not even beings from the same dimension; to even touch him would be a stroke of luck, let alone cause him harm!
The difference between the Chaos Demon God and Pangu is similar.
"However, if it weren't for this, how could I have this opportunity today?"
If the Chaos Demon God had escaped back then, this opportunity would have been lost.
Putting away the Pangu finger bone, Feng Zichen turned around and looked at the World Tree. At this moment, the Chaos Demon God's physical body had been completely devoured by it.
With this, the World Tree underwent an astonishing transformation. Its height was immeasurable; its canopy was immeasurably vast!
The World Tree's size had reached the realm of conceptual size!
