There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 285 Rage 1

As soon as Hao Chen appeared in the cosmic starry sky, he immediately communicated with the laws of heaven and earth and naturally learned of the arrival of the eternal night.

What surprised Hao Chen was that he had only stayed in the ancient land of origin for a month or so, but a thousand years had passed in the outside world.

However, the situation was urgent, and Hao Chen had no time to think. He scanned the stars in the universe with his divine sense and found that the life essence of the dark universe was being devoured by the eternal night black mist, which directly caused more than half of the stars to become dead stars.

Fortunately, An Ye and his group reacted quickly and brought the creatures from other ancient life-bearing planets to the Eastern Heaven Realm in advance, thus preserving a spark for this universe.

"Next, it's time to deal with you, you bastard." Hao Chen looked coldly at the giant snake.

Although Hao Chen had just incinerated the giant serpent with the True Fire of the Sun, the giant serpent seemed to possess immortality and had now fully recovered.

However, the giant snake seemed to be wary of Hao Chen, so it did not launch an attack, but instead curled up its body into a ball.

"Who are you? Why do you possess laws similar to those of your master?"

Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly rang in Hao Chen's mind, which surprised him. He recognized the voice as coming from the giant snake.

"Shouldn't you say your own name before asking someone else's name?" Seeing that the giant snake had self-awareness, Hao Chen suppressed his urge to kill it and thought he should try to get more information out of the giant snake first.

As if unaware of Hao Chen's intentions, the giant serpent raised its head and looked down at Hao Chen: "You lowly ant from the lower realm, although I do not know why you possess laws similar to my master's, you are sorely mistaken if you think you can rely on this to survive the Eternal Night Calamity."

"I come from the true continent of the upper realm, a pet of the primordial ancestral god, ordered to cleanse the defiled lower realm."

Upon hearing the giant serpent mention the real continent and the primordial ancestral god, Hao Chen's mood became somewhat solemn.

Having the memories of the Yin-Yang Demon God, he naturally knew that the real continent was the upper plane of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Once someone in the Xuanhuang Realm breaks through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, they will be able to attempt to communicate with the Great Dao Laws of the real continent and thus ascend to the heavens.

Then one can comprehend the laws of the real continent, thereby reaching the realm of Immortal Emperor.

When an Immortal Emperor imprints his own Dao and Law into the Great Dao Laws of the real continent, he can rule over one Dao and is known as a Dao Lord-level being, also called the Primordial God.

If one can create a path outside the laws of the real continent and gain the recognition of the real continent, then one will be called a Dao Ancestor-level being, also known as the Primordial Ancestral God.

However, throughout the ages, from nothing to something, across countless ages, the real continent has only had ten Dao Ancestor-level beings: Yin Yang, Qian Kun, Dian Dao, Wu Xing, Shi Kong, Lun Hui, Zao Hua, Xian Dao, Mo Dao, and Destruction, these ten Chaos Demon Gods.

It is also an existence born from the earliest laws of heaven and earth at the beginning of the world, representing the original laws of the real continent.

Afterwards, other laws were born from the laws they represented, which together formed the Great Dao Laws of the real continent.

According to the giant serpent, its master is probably one of the other eight Chaos Gods, besides Hao Chen and Chen Ying, who were corrupted by the black blood from another world.

Hao Chen considered it for a moment and decided that he couldn't face off against his former friends so soon.

Therefore, Hao Chen waved to the giant serpent: "Leave now. With me here, this eternal night calamity should end."

However, although the giant serpent feared Hao Chen's Yin-Yang principles, it did not mean that the giant serpent would obey Hao Chen's orders.

"Insects, relying on some unknown understanding of the true laws of the continent, you dare to point fingers at me? Die!" The giant serpent suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out black mist.

Black mist filled the air, carrying an ominous and eerie atmosphere, instantly enveloping Hao Chen within it.

"Hahaha, having absorbed my corrosive black mist, you will become my puppets and conquer the lower realms for me!" the giant serpent laughed.

"Has anyone ever told you that your laughter is awful?" Hao Chen's voice suddenly came from the black mist.

The next moment, beams of eternal and immortal light tore through the black mist, revealing Hao Chen within.

Before the giant snake could figure out how Hao Chen had resisted the black mist's erosion, Hao Chen made a move.

He extended his right hand, his five fingers forming a mudra, carrying an ancient and profound Daoist charm, tracing the path of the Great Dao, and striking towards the giant serpent.

This strike wasn't a powerful combat technique, but rather Hao Chen's understanding of the Yin-Yang principles. Yet, when he unleashed it, it truly resembled a dragon soaring through the sky.

"Ah..." the giant snake cried out. He felt an intense crisis, a terrifying power. He would die, die from Hao Chen's attack, even if he possessed immortality.

At this moment, the giant snake began to fight desperately. He did not want to die, so he frantically urged the Heart-Eating Black Mist to envelop his entire body, as if this would give him enough sense of security.

However, Hao Chen found the giant snake's behavior utterly ridiculous.

Driven by Hao Chen, the Yin-Yang principles transformed into an enormous millstone, encasing the giant snake like a sandwich filling.

As the Yin-Yang Millstone turned, the mournful howls of a giant snake and the sound of bones being ground together emanated from within.

Then, clusters of refined life essence flowed out from under the large millstone.

Hao Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the life essence refined from the giant snake.

"belch……"

Afterwards, Hao Chen let out a satisfying burp. He gave the giant snake a perfect score of 10 for the meal, completely unconcerned about the snake's arrogance.

"As expected of a being from the real continent, it tastes even better than the Xuanhuang Realm."

Hao Chen knew his own situation well. Although he seemed to have dealt with the giant snake matter very easily this time, he knew that all of this was based on the fact that his Yin-Yang Law came from the real continent, far surpassing the Xuanhuang Realm.

Moreover, the giant serpent was a pet of those primordial ancestral gods, and Hao Chen was also a primordial ancestral god in his previous life, so he could naturally suppress the giant serpent.

After dealing with the giant serpent, Hao Chen saw that the rest of the universe was still shrouded in black mist.

With a thought, Hao Chen separated nearly a hundred clones from his body, each possessing the same combat power as his original body, and they flew off in all directions of the universe.

In an instant, the yin and yang energies permeated all parts of the universe, even colliding to create wisps of chaotic energy.

When the black mist encountered the laws of Yin and Yang, it vanished into nothingness like ice and snow meeting the sun.

However, Hao Chen was not at ease after doing all this. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the most terrifying part of the Eternal Night was yet to come.

"It should still be a thousand years before the Ancestral God makes his move. Although it may be earlier because I destroyed the giant serpent, it shouldn't be too much of a difference."

Just as Hao Chen was still pondering, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a sharp, needle-like pain.

"Oh no, something's happened to the Four-Faced Beasts!!!"

Without a second thought, Hao Chen used his immense power to tear apart the cosmic barrier and arrive in the world of beasts.

However, Hao Chen was enraged by the scene before him as soon as he appeared.

"You are courting death."
