At the same time.

When Taiyi, within the Primordial Chaos World, integrated the gate of eternal life into the Primordial World's Origin...

Far beyond the Primordial World, within the Sea of Chaos.

In the distant Dongxuan Domain, spanning untold hundreds of millions of li beneath sky-blotting Chaos thunder...

...stood rows of supreme palaces forged from Chaos God Crystals.

Layer upon layer, they lined an infinitely vast Divine Thunder Mountain.

Even Mount Buzhou of the Primordial World would appear as nothing more than a tiny mound before this Thunder God Mountain.

The mountain possessed nine Heavenly Vaults in total.

Each vault was a world of its own.

The higher one went, the more astonishing the vast might of the churning Chaos thunderclouds became.

In the topmost Ninth Heavenly Vault, the atmospheric pressure of the surging thunderclouds was so immense that even a Peak Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Powerhouse would struggle to take a single step.

Not to mention, if these rolling Chaos thunderclouds were to truly unleash heavenly retribution lightning, it would be utterly terrifying.

At this moment, a palace situated in the outer area of Thunder God Mountain's ninth layer suddenly erupted with an astonishing aura.

Immediately, a wisp of Divine Sense, wrapping a voice transmission talisman, fled swiftly toward the central region of the Ninth Heavenly Vault.

Pausing briefly before a grand hall enveloped in golden thunderous light, it was instantly swallowed and drawn in by a streak of golden lightning that flashed from the barrier.

A moment later.

Across all of Thunder God Mountain, bell chimes reverberated.

Countless dense figures of all colors abruptly materialized across the mountain peak.

"What happened?"

"What is going on? Why did the Thunder God Bell, silent for hundreds of millions of years, suddenly toll?"

"For whom does this death knell toll this time?"

...

Countless figures all carried towering auras.

Throwing any one of them into the Great Primordial World would make them a Hunyuan Golden Immortal formidable enough to shake an entire region.

What was more, the majority in the crowd were beings who held the status of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

From this, one could imagine the terrifying foundation of the Thunder God Sect.

The threat Thunder Saint Sovereign had made against Taiyi in the past was truly not an empty boast.

However, even if Taiyi knew, he would only smile dismissively and ignore it.

The Sea of Chaos was vast; Taiyi simply did not believe the Thunder God Sect could track him down when he was protected by two Chaos Supreme Treasures.

Besides, the gate of chaos previously lost by Supreme Cangqiong could connect to infinite Chaos Worlds.

If he couldn't beat them, couldn't he just run?

When the time came, Taiyi could just hide in any random Chaos World, and the Thunder God Sect would be left staring helplessly.

Moreover, with the System in hand, Taiyi had never even considered running.

Up to this day, beings capable of forcing Taiyi to actively back down were very few and far between.

Aside from the Lord of Hongmeng in the Dao Realm,

only the Ten Great Grandmist Lifeforms could cause Taiyi any apprehension.

...

While the disciples and members of the Thunder God Sect were buzzing with discussion over the bell toll that hadn't sounded in countless hundreds of millions of years,

an astonishing piece of news capable of upending the entire Sea of Chaos spread down from the Ninth Heavenly Vault.

"The descendant of Pangu is about to enter the Sea of Chaos, and heavenly secrets will soon be thrown into Chaos! Any member of the Thunder God Sect who discovers or captures Pangu's descendant will be rewarded with Supreme Dao Merits."

Boom!

The entire Thunder God Mountain erupted into a frenzy.

Chaos Divine Lightning danced wildly.

"Supreme Dao Merits? Did I hear that right? How many Chaos Epochs has it been since the Sect offered such an astounding reward?"

"Hiss... Just what is the background of this descendant of Pangu to draw such high attention from the Sect?"

"Heavenly secrets thrown into Chaos? Aren't the Elders being a bit alarmist? I have lived through thirty Chaos Epochs, yet I have never heard of anyone capable of plunging the heavenly secrets of the Sea of Chaos into Chaos!"

"No matter what, these Supreme Dao Merits are mine, Venerable Jiumo's, for the taking!"
