Chapter 1115: The Mystery of Pantheon.

Inside the Pantheon Palace.
Fang Yuan and his clone sat facing each other. Between them was the loot obtained from Qiu Tianfeng.
He was worthy of being a Son of Destiny. He had many immortal artifacts and countless treasures on him.
Of course, the most valuable had been the strange item that could create a one-time undying body. Unfortunately, it had already been expended.
“In the end, Qiu Tianfeng died in my hands, and I can no longer use my previous arrangements… I can’t return to the Golden Soul Sect now. Otherwise, I will become the suspect!”
Fang Yuan did not feel the slightest bit of pity. He had already accomplished his goal of infiltrating the Golden Soul Sect, so it did not matter if he betrayed it now.
“Among the things that Qiu Tianfeng left behind, there’s… this!”
In the pile of immortal artifacts, there was a golden page radiating a mysterious light.
“A remnant page from the Pantheon Catalog. As expected, the Pantheon Summoning Technique that Qiu Tianfeng used earlier came from it!”
Interest flashed through Fang Yuan’s eyes as he read it carefully. “Incredible… This is a heaven-defying technique that surpasses the Pantheon Enhancement Skill!”
He had the feeling that if the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique and the Ten Thousand Beast Banner were just average techniques in the Pantheon Catalog, or rather, if all the techniques were ranked, then this ‘Pantheon Summoning Technique’ was undoubtedly very high up on the list. It could even be the essence of the Pantheon Catalog!
“In conclusion, it’s a summoning technique! You offer sacrifices to an otherworldly demon in the dark chaos in exchange for power!”
After reading it thoroughly once, Fang Yuan understood how it worked. “This summoning technique has two forms. The first is a temporary summon where you transform into an otherworldly demon and obtain power. However, if the transformation lasts too long, there’s a risk of losing control! Since Qiu Tianfeng could transform into a Primordial Godfiend, he must have trained this form to a very high level!
“The second form is to construct an eternal otherworldly demon gate to summon an endless Godfiend army from the chaos. It seems you can control them via the gate as well. However, given the situation at the time, Qiu Tianfeng clearly didn’t have the chance to do so. Moreover, it expends a lot…”
The otherworldly demon gate was eternal, and its construction was full of difficulties. Merely the first step alone required a million blood sacrifices.
Furthermore, many of the construction materials were the souls and bones of Grand Unity Immortals, and so on. Without reaching the Grand Unity realm, it was just wishful thinking.
“However… this summoning sacrifice technique? I smell a conspiracy…”
Fang Yuan sneered and thought for a while. He then started drawing the summoning blood symbol.
The first temporary ability of the Pantheon Summoning Technique was to establish communication with a certain existence through sacrifice and then obtain power.
In addition, from its manifestation, that existence had to be an otherworldly demon that surpassed Primordial Godfiend, possibly at the Chaos Godfiend level!
“Even Qiu Tianfeng could borrow the powers of otherworldly demons. I’m merely at the beginning and investigating it a little, so there shouldn’t be any problems…”
Fang Yuan licked his lips, and a strand of spiritual will entered the blood symbol.
Rumble!
Instantly, his consciousness seemed to elevate infinitely, arriving in the dark chaos.
The aura of countless dark otherworldly demons enveloped him like a pack of wolves.
“So many… so many otherworldly demons…”
Fang Yuan spread his spiritual will, and it seemed as though the Illusion Realm’s nomological laws and Nomological Laws of Time had vanished. The only thing protecting him was the power of the blood symbol, allowing him to keep moving forward.
The deeper he went in the chaos, the more terrifying the otherworldly demons became. Merely from what he could see, there were over a dozen Primordial Godfiends resting.
There was an even more horrifying Godfiend that was strongly repelling the surrounding chaos. Even Primordial Godfiends did not dare to approach it.
“It’s a Chaos Godfiend!” Fang Yuan quivered.
Chaos Godfiends had mastered the Connate Destruction Great Dao. This Dao path was already comparable to the perfect Dao path of a Netherheaven Demon God.
Furthermore, they had also mastered the Connate Undying Great Dao. This increase was not as simple as one plus one, and their strength greatly surpassed Netherheaven Demon Gods!
“Wait, the power of the blood symbol isn’t pointing toward this Chaos Godfiend, but deeper within… This is… an existence that surpasses the Chaos Godfiend level… There’s no record of it in the history of the Wasteland World, this existence that hides in the depths of chaos!”
The closer he got, the more intense that trace of aura that shocked Fang Yuan became.
Finally, he saw a tract of darkness with what seemed to be an unspeakable horror sleeping in it.
“I’ll risk it! In any case, it’s only a strand of spiritual will!”
With this thought, his spiritual will fused with the blood symbol, broke through the darkness, and saw… it!
…
“Pfft!”
In the Pantheon Palace, Fang Yuan opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood mist. “Incredible… However, Patriarch Pantheon, I’ve finally discovered your whereabouts!”
Nomological laws were of no use in the place where his spiritual will had been. It was obviously real chaos.
As for the Pantheon Summoning Technique, the existence at the other end of the contract was actually slumbering in the depths of chaos. Furthermore, it was an existence that surpassed Chaos Godfiend.
“This shows that there’s a deep connection between Patriarch Pantheon and the otherworldly demons. There’s a high chance that he’s that Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend!”
Although his thread of spiritual will had been completely destroyed the moment his eyes met that existence, Fang Yuan still managed to retrieve some information.
The most important information was its name—Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend!
“A demon that dares to call itself holy? Cleary, it has reached the realm where things revert to their opposite at the extreme… I didn’t sense a single desire for destruction from it, but only a sense of holiness…”
Fang Yuan completely sealed off his memory of the detailed form of the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend.
Obviously, that existence had reached the Dao Fruit realm and possessed all kinds of unimaginable abilities.
Even only recording its image could lead to disaster, so it was best he forgot.
“But this raises the question… Patriarch Pantheon is the ancestor of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If he truly is that Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend or its incarnation, then are we barbarians the blood descendants of otherworldly demons?
“In that case, why did Patriarch Pantheon seal Sethgu in the Holy Mountain? Purely for fun? Is he addicted to role-playing? Or is my speculation wrong?”
Of course, given the power of the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend, what Sethgu encountered must not have been the true body. Perhaps it was just a trace of consciousness that even had to hide its identity. Even so, Sethgu had suffered a terrible defeat.
“But the biggest question remains. Why did Patriarch Pantheon create the Pantheon Catalog? Especially the Pantheon Summoning Technique on the last page?”
Fang Yuan stroked his chin and guessed. “Perhaps he’s calling for outside help? Is his true body gravely injured and in slumber? Or rather, is it only through this kind of ritual will he be able to formally invade the Wasteland World, thereby opening its chapter of world annihilation?”
…
There were too few clues, and Fang Yuan could only hazard wild guesses. “Anyway… the Pantheon Summoning Technique is too dangerous. In particular, the summoning gate will surely attract Chaos Godfiends in its later stages, and perhaps even awaken that Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend…”
If it were another cultivator without his abilities and they had not seen the outcome of Qiu Tianfeng but enjoyed some pleasantness from the first few pages of the Pantheon Catalog, then they would undoubtedly work diligently on cultivating the Pantheon Summoning Technique. It would then alarm the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend and result in their destruction.
In fact, even Qiu Tianfeng, a Son of Destiny, had been tricked unwittingly. Given how he transformed directly to the Primordial Godfiend form, he had evidently cultivated the technique to a very high level. Even if he did not trip up this time, he would cross the point of no return after a few more transformations.
“What does Patriarch Pantheon hope to obtain from the first transformation? A Primordial Godfiend transformed from a human?”
Fang Yuan tapped his fingers and thought of two possibilities:
“Is the first to somehow influence this Primordial Godfiend and make him complete the summoning gate? That seems unlikely. After all, the otherworldly demons have been invading for many years, and they would have built the gate long ago if they could. Unless they can’t construct this gate!
“In that case, only the second possibility remains. The Primordial Godfiends transformed from humans are very special, and they can somehow become a temporary vessel for the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend’s descent into this world?”
The more he thought about it, the more sure he was of the second possibility. It was even possible that Patriarch Pantheon was this kind of existence.
“Things are becoming more and more complicated!”
Fang Yuan rubbed his forehead. “Nomological laws can only be used in this world. Primordial Godfiends have mastered a Great Dao, and Chaos Godfiends have mastered Connate Great Daos, and they can fight evenly with an entire world. And that Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend is at least at the Dao Fruit realm. Is it a threat to this entire universe?”
Naturally, the scale of a universe was naturally larger than a world.
If a single Chaos Godfiend could destroy worlds, then the threat of the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend had to be at the universal level!
“Unexpectedly, I discovered such an incredible secret with just a peek…” Fang Yuan laughed at himself. “However… this has little relevance to me right now. The most important thing now is to return to my peak condition and then try to transcend the tribulation!”
His nomological laws of the Illusion Realm, time, and saber were all at perfection. His Nomological Laws of Undying had also reached perfection when his Undying Demon Body broke through to the seventh level.
Who knew how terrifying the lightning tribulation would be with three top-tier sets of nomological laws, one mid-tier set, and even a clone?
He truly would not even dare to try to attempt it if he had not obtained a primordial treasure-level body.
“In addition, my main body has devoured Qiu Tianfeng’s physical essence. After quietly cultivating for some time, perhaps I’ll be able to break through the seventh level of the Undying Demon Body… Unfortunately, I sustained a small injury when investigating the Pantheon Summoning Technique.”
With the help of large amounts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the loss of a single strand of spiritual will was not a big deal.
He recovered completely after a few days. After that, he cultivated in silence and sensed all the nomological laws at perfection. His cultivation base could not advance even a tiny bit further, and everything had reached its current peak.
Immediately afterward, he meditated for seven days and then found a place in the wilderness to begin the tribulation!
“The lightning tribulation is the biggest barrier for cultivators. Once the cultivator transcends the tribulation, they will transform from a mortal into an Immortal! In the past, those who had tempered their bodies to the immortal artifact level were certain of transcending the tribulation… Although I’ve comprehended a number of heaven-defying nomological laws, my body is beyond the immortal artifact level and at the primordial treasure level, so there should be no problem…”
Fang Yuan and his clone stood side by side and released their aura thoroughly, triggering the lightning tribulation.
Kaboom!
The sky was immediately full of dark clouds. A giant vortex appeared, and lightning rolled about inside, as though ready to crash down in the very next moment.
As the lightning flashed, Fang Yuan’s expression changed completely. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “This is… impossible!”
