Laozi and Yuan Shi were carefully observing every detail of the Twelve Duterrestrial Gods Evil Formation, wondering if they could perceive something from it. Could they truly revive the glory of the Father God?

The initially tense Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon sensed that the presence of this 'Pangu' before him was far weaker than he imagined and not as terrifying, making him feel quite confident!

Run? Run for what?!

The best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. Today, he shall tell all Demon Gods that I, Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon, am no coward!

This was Nezha's first full-force activation of the Twelve Duterrestrial Gods Evil Formation after achieving Daluo, but he felt that its power didn't increase as much as he imagined. The reason was that the cultivation of his eleven avatars became a burden; he had just reached Daluo, and it wasn't possible for the avatars to catch up immediately.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he could kill the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon with one axe, but things had come to this; he had to fight on!

A silent roar seemed to shake the world from ancient times, as two robust legs emerged first from the gray fog, followed by a strong arm that seized a Big Axe.

Without hesitation, the headless big man wrapped in gray fog swung the axe at the tree-shaped Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon. The axe, simple but powerful enough to reach the heavens and earth, ignored the dark force surrounding the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon and struck the 'trunk.' The entire Big Axe went seven-tenths into the trunk but didn't sever it.

The silver face on the trunk of the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon showed pain, followed by joy. I, withstood Pangu's axe!

Dense branches quickly sprouted from the black trunk, wildly entwining the giant axe of the big man. After all, the Twelve Duterrestrial Gods Evil Formation was powered by Nezha alone, and he could no longer launch a second attack.

The Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon clearly felt the strength of the big man weakening as the manifested body began to fade into mist. His silver face showed a very humanlike expression of excitement.

Pangu? Just a defeated general!

The Three Pure Ones, watching from the back, noticed that something was wrong, but they appeared to have an epiphany at that moment.

Having been together for countless years, the three didn't need many words to communicate.

"Elder Brother!"

Laozi's authority among the three was evidently greater than during the Saint Period. Without hesitation, he nodded, and the Three Pure Ones showed excitement as they marked their foreheads and pointed to the heavens.

The three transformed into three clear streams, swirling in the air before dashing into the now completely misty Twelve Duterrestrial Gods Evil Formation. The nerves of Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon tensed once again (if he had nerves), but the anticipated Pangu did not reappear.

The dense branches on the black tree suddenly burst, penetrating the gray mist. This rollercoaster of heart-pounding fear he truly didn't want to experience again. Quickly ending them by devouring them was indeed the way.

With the addition of the Three Pure Ones, the gray mist suddenly contracted into a singularity, which acted like a beacon traversing all time and space, and finally expanded into a mirror with a radius of dozens of meters.

On the other side, an indescribable, undefinable entity was frantically chopping with an axe at a creature that looked like a sharp-toothed fish with three tentacles growing on each side.

Pangu had already been chopping Chaos Demon Gods in the Chaos for countless years. His heart was as cold as his axe, and he glanced through the singularity to the other side.

What the hell is that?

After dealing with the Sharp-toothed Fish Demon God before him, he casually swung an axe at the other side, and without a look, charged toward more Demon Gods in the distance…

Reality? Illusion? Time? Space? Distance? None of these mattered.

Nothing could hinder Pangu's power. If I say I'll chop you down, then you're done for; nothing is negotiable.

Pangu casually waved his axe, sweeping through the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon across time. The Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon had no chance to resist and exited simply.

The dignified demon Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon was completely gone; he used his life to prove that he truly dared to face Pangu head-on, that he was no coward!

The mirror contracted again to its original singularity, then dispersed into a cluster of gray mist. Three streams of light flew out, revealing the forms of the Three Purities. The gray mist shrank into Nezha's body, and at this moment, Nezha was completely unconscious.

Nezha lost all his power and began to fall.

In his excited state, Tongtian caught this little brother and then looked at his elder brother, Laozi.

"Elder Brother, I think this kid is not bad. How about letting him be our little brother?"

Laozi glanced at the fainted Nezha and couldn't quite discern his origins. In this Primordial world, there was no Human Clan, so he didn't directly agree but said, "Let nature take its course."

This vague statement actually implied his approval.

Having gone through the recent events, it seemed Yuan Shi also recognized Nezha, and also being a bit of a face-judger, he didn't voice any objections.

Tongtian was very pleased. Initially, among the Three Pure Ones were the elder, middle, and young. Now, counting Nezha, there was the youngest, and he was no longer just the little brother!

Nezha, wielding the axe earlier, didn't manage to kill the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon, but his mana was already exhausted then. In the last summoning, even though the four called upon Pangu as backup, it was actually the Three Pure Ones who bore most of the pressure, while Nezha was more like a fusion material.

Now, although the three seemed fine, they just barely maintained their dignity.

The Three Pure Ones, bringing Nezha with them, descended to the ground, set up an array, and began meditating to rest. Tongtian, evidently very concerned for this future little brother, gave him plenty of Kunlun's Immortal Herbs before meditating.

In the vast Hongmeng World, where silver, purple, and gray streams of qi surged, one could not feel the passage of time. For these Innate Sacred Beings like the Three Pure Ones, time was a meaningless concept.

Nezha was merely exhausted and out of mana. Even if the Yuan Shi Heavenly Demon barely reached the strength of a Fake Demon God at the last moment, he clearly couldn't penetrate Pangu's Body armor and directly harm Nezha.

So, shortly after, Nezha woke up, saw the Three Pure Ones meditating around him, took some medicine, and obediently started meditating to recover.

This time, having had the fortune to see the real Pangu, he gained a new understanding of Pangu's Power, which was not just a force but a belief that 'I am invincible and you can do as you please.'

Surviving in the Primordial ultimately required acting within one's capacity. How many could possess such belief?

Even Saints knew they weren't undefeatable. Not to mention there was a Daoist Ancestor above them and five others around who could match them; if you counted the ones in Chaos, there were even more.

But the power of this mindset was indeed undeniable. Take for example the Tongtian Sect Master; his determination was the highest. Although he wasn't the top in cultivation, he was the strongest in actual combat.

Nezha concluded that when facing matters, he should act when necessary and be bold. Hesitation could only put him behind others, and this was his current philosophy in cultivation.

It may not be entirely correct but greatly matched Nezha's current Heart Realm, only by charging forward could one hope to reach the pinnacle.

...

No one knew how much time had passed, but all four had regained their Primordial Energy.

At this time, the customs of the Primordial world hadn't been distorted by any individual and were quite simple; as long as people were like-minded, they would typically engage in the classic activity: discussing the Dao.

In this era, Hong Jun had not become a Saint, and there was no systematic method for cultivation in the Primordial world. The way to progress was also quite simple: read more, learn more, understand more.

When encountering someone with similar temperament, mutually verifying each other's understanding was greatly beneficial for both parties. The Three Pure Ones had known each other for years and only researched together if they had new insights, otherwise, the result of discussing the Dao was almost zero.

Now, after the recent events and with a new member joining, it was the best time to discuss the Dao!

Nezha embraced the attitude of staying since he had already arrived and wasn't in a hurry to return. Now that he was Daluo, the Three Pure Ones were also Daluo. He wanted to know how he compared to the three of them, and by how much he was lacking?

Since his cultivation began, and throughout worlds he had stayed in briefly, he actually hadn't cultivated for more than a thousand years. The Three Pure Ones, though considered greenhorns, had cultivated in the Daluo realm for time measured in thousands of years, giving Nezha room for significant learning.
