CHAPTER 1835: 1,167 INNATE 9 SWORDS_2

I am who I am, and my actions should be true to myself. If I transform into another Chaos Demigod, wouldn’t that be an admission that my Tao is inferior to theirs?

Such behavior, though secondary to the shame, primarily strikes at one’s Dao heart, leaving shadows within, distancing oneself further from the Great Dao.

Becoming someone else equates to denying oneself, denying one’s own Tao. If that’s the case, one might never hope to achieve Dao in this lifetime.

Jiang Chen remains Jiang Chen; if he can’t kill them, he directly attacks their hearts. He intends to shake the Dao heart of these nine Chaos Demigods, prompting them to scatter voluntarily, ceasing to act in the guise of the Pangu Great God.

This Pangu form, condensed from the incomplete bodies of nine Chaos Demigods, embodies their combined will to live. Even if a real Wuji Daluo Jinxian were to arrive, they might not necessarily be able to defeat them.

Under such circumstances, the simplest way to defeat them is to dismantle them from within, leading to their own disintegration.

The nine Chaos Demigods, invincible when united, but once separated, Jiang Chen is confident that, in collaboration with Mother Earth, they can take one down without issue.

"You..."

A simple sentence, yet it shattered the mental defenses of the nine Chaos Demigods.

Now, for the sake of breaking free, they took on the form of the Pangu Great God. Isn’t this an admission that they’re inferior to the Pangu Great God?

Although it’s indeed the truth, how can a seeker of Tao achieve the eternal and singular realm without a heart of invincibility?

Therefore, one might be unable to win physically, but must never admit defeat in their heart. To transform into another’s appearance is subconsciously admitting one’s inferiority.

Thus, at this moment, the hearts of these nine Chaos Demigods are in turmoil!

"Come back!"

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Chen suddenly unleashed a Divine Ability, summoning the Hongmeng Dao Sword from the hand of Chaos Pangu.

Speaking a single sentence to shatter their defenses entirely and cause them to disintegrate from within, thus achieving victory without fighting is not realistic. Yet, causing their hearts to temporarily be in disarray, making it difficult to concentrate power, is achievable.

The purpose of Jiang Chen’s words is nothing more than to reclaim the Hongmeng Dao Sword, forcibly seized by Chaos Pangu.

The formidable strength of Chaos Pangu is unquestionable. Even with Jiang Chen and Mother Earth working together, they might not necessarily be a match.

Indeed, due to their connection with the Chaos World, Chaos Pangu cannot eliminate Jiang Chen.

Similarly, if Chaos Pangu is determined to suppress the Hongmeng Dao Sword, Jiang Chen really has no way of reclaiming the sword from their hands.

Given the vast disparity in power, reclaiming anything that falls into the opponent’s hands is exceedingly difficult.

Having painstakingly forged the Hongmeng Dao Sword, how could Jiang Chen tolerate such a treasure falling into the hands of Chaos Demigods, wouldn’t that be aiding the enemy?

Utilizing their character flaws, causing their minds to be thrown into chaos, is Jiang Chen’s means of reclaiming the Hongmeng Dao Sword.

"You brat, how dare you scheme against me?"

The once mentally disordered Chaos Pangu, upon seeing the Hongmeng Slayer Sword suddenly fly out of their hand, immediately understood Jiang Chen’s intent, infuriating him, and he reached out to grab the Hongmeng Dao Sword flying away, trying to catch it back.

His speed was so fast it almost surpassed Jiang Chen’s thoughts. Although the Hongmeng Dao Sword was fast, at this rate, before it could reach Jiang Chen, it would be recaptured by Chaos Pangu.

BOOM!

In that instant, Mother Earth intervened, as a colossal shadow of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish emerged, exuding an obliterating aura over all heavens, sweeping toward the nine still-suppressed Demon Gods.

This action forced Chaos Pangu into a choice—to continue grabbing the Hongmeng Dao Sword, letting his remnant thoughts be suppressed by Mother Earth, or to abandon suppressing the Hongmeng Dao Sword and instead rescue his remnant thoughts.

Frankly, if losing the Hongmeng Dao Sword can exchange for the preservation of nine Demon Gods’ remnant thoughts, then this trade is vastly profitable for Jiang Chen and Mother Earth.

With these nine Demon Gods’ remnant thoughts, they can better reconstruct Mount Buzhou. And after it’s rebuilt, they could easily suppress Chaos Pangu. When that time comes, Jiang Chen only needs to think, and he could reclaim the Hongmeng Dao Sword.

Thus, in this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly hopes that Chaos Pangu would abandon rescuing his remnant thoughts and instead continue suppressing the Hongmeng Dao Sword.

Since even if the Hongmeng Dao Sword falls into their hands, they won’t be able to refine it in a short time. During their attempt to refine the Hongmeng Dao Sword, Jiang Chen would likely have enough time to reconstruct Mount Buzhou.

So long as Chaos Pangu dares to choose the Hongmeng Dao Sword, Jiang Chen can ensure his eventual defeat.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chaos Pangu abandoned the Hongmeng Dao Sword, appearing beside the nine remnant thoughts, merging with them.

Rumble!

Mother Earth’s full-force attack erupted, hitting Chaos Pangu’s body without restraint. Then, they saw that his body merely shook slightly, and he withstood Mother Earth’s full-force strike.

Without even deploying a Divine Ability, merely relying on his physical body, he resisted this attack.

This scene caused Jiang Chen and Mother Earth to frown deeply, drawing a cold breath in their hearts.

This Divine Ability of Mother Earth not only contained her own power but also the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation Dish. Even for Jiang Chen to endure, he would need to go all out to block it.

Yet such a powerful Divine Ability, upon hitting Chaos Pangu, seemed no more than someone forcefully pushing him. Such a physique is truly unfathomably formidable.

"This one is too strong; we are not his match. We should leave here first and seek the aid of another Saint."

After one strike, Mother Earth recognized the vast disparity between them, taking a moment to steady herself before speaking to Jiang Chen.

Her confidence was gone, and to prevent greater disaster, the only solution now was to ask for another Saint’s help. Regardless, they cannot let this Chaos Pangu leave the Endless Abyss.

As for the possibility of other Saints refusing, Mother Earth never considered it—who would dare refuse when it comes to opposing Chaos Demigods in the Prehistoric World?

Should any Saint refuse, they won’t even need anyone else to act, but just hearing of it would yield ways to make their life a living hell.

"Not so fast; I still have one more method. Let me try first,"

Jiang Chen halted.

Seeking a Saint’s intervention is indeed easy; Mother Earth only needs to call out, and they will rush over immediately. But while inviting a god is easy, dismissing them is hard. Once they help, getting them to leave is problematic.

Thus, unless absolutely necessary, Mother Earth is reluctant to seek outside aid. Otherwise, if it were simple to find help, why would Mother Earth wait until today?

"What method?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen had another means, Mother Earth quickly regained her confidence and asked with curiosity.

"The Four Swords of Immortal Execution!"

With that, Jiang Chen closed his eyes, invoking a secret method recorded in the Shangqing lineage to summon the supreme treasure of the Shangqing Dao, the Four Swords of Immortal Execution.

It’s not that the Hongmeng Dao Sword is inferior to Chaos Pangu, but rather the other three swords—Taichu, Dutian, Pure Yang—are inadequate.

If three swords are insufficient, then nine swords shall suffice!

That’s the plan Jiang Chen conceived, to combine the might of nine swords and forcibly break through Chaos Pangu’s flesh.

No matter how convincing the façade, it’s still false. Jiang Chen refuses to believe that gathering the Prehistoric World’s nine most formidable Innate Slayer Swords together cannot penetrate Chaos Pangu’s defenses.

The Four Swords of Immortal Execution, Yuan Tu Abi, the three Swords of Taichu—these nine Innate Slayer Swords represent the pinnacle of the Prehistoric Sword Path, with none stronger than them.

Together, they embody the descent of the Prehistoric Slaughtering Dao, sparing nothing within Heaven and Earth. Even this Chaos Pangu, possessing supreme cultivation in the Chaos Realm, Jiang Chen remains confident he can break it, let alone the fact that he is not truly so.

The union of nine swords carries not just their inherent power, but the power of the Chaotic World itself.

Chaos Pangu cannot possibly withstand it!

...

What mastery does Jiang Chen possess? As he executed the secret method, in an instant, the entire Chaotic World was engulfed in a mysterious ripple.
