Purple Destiny Rising

Chapter Two: Returning to Chaos

After Zhao Tian was struck dead by lightning, he felt his consciousness being forcibly compressed into a ball by an extremely domineering force. The pain was no less than being crushed into the size of a basketball without losing consciousness.

However, the pain was bearable. As the saying goes, the greater the gain, the greater the sacrifice. Zhao Tian's current condition was a sign of the formation of his primordial spirit. At this moment, the lightning of death was forcibly extracting the three souls and seven spirits from Zhao Tian's body and refining them into the primordial spirit unique to Taoism with extremely domineering power. The three souls and seven spirits were extremely fragile and could not withstand such great power. Even the primordial spirit of a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be reduced to dust. For some reason, a magical power protected Zhao Tian's three souls and seven spirits, preventing them from being destroyed. It is said that the lightning of death has the ability to control life and death, and it seems that this is true.

Whenever Zhao Tian tried to think, he felt as if he were being crushed by a thousand-pound weight, or being repeatedly torn apart by a meat grinder. A barrage of pain seemed to be trying to erase his memories of his previous life. An ordinary person would have given up long ago, becoming a legendary person with zero intelligence. However, Zhao Tian, from a young age, possessed a strong will and an extraordinary tolerance for pain, seemingly no different from anyone else.

Only his twitching face proved that he was enduring pain. So Zhao Tian stubbornly held onto the last shred of clarity, refusing to let the pain make him forget everything.

The pain was prolonged, perhaps a minute, an hour, or even a month or longer. Zhao Tian felt the pain in his body gradually disappearing until he could no longer feel it. At that moment, a warm and vibrant energy flowed into Zhao Tian's body, making him feel as if he had been working hard all day and was now soaking in a hot spring, feeling indescribably comfortable.

Zhao Tian's tense nerves relaxed, and the long period of endurance gradually caused him to fall into a deep sleep.

In a boundless space filled with a hazy gray gas, a purple sphere stood out starkly in its depths. Sparks crackled on the sphere, and any approaching gray air currents were absorbed by it, showing signs of growing larger.

Time seemed to stand still in this gray space, making it impossible to discern how many years had passed. Perhaps a thousand years... ten thousand years... a hundred thousand years... a billion years... The purple ball of electricity gradually grew from the size of a fist into a massive sphere with a radius of one meter before stopping. After countless more years, the unchanging purple sphere suddenly trembled violently, and a moment later, a deafening roar erupted as the sphere exploded, sending the surrounding gray air currents churning.

Deep within the explosion lay a handsome, eerie, naked man with flowing silver hair, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, white teeth, and a jade-like face. A purple lightning mark between his brows further enhanced his allure.

The eerie man suddenly opened his eyes and awoke. His eyes flashed with lightning, and his pupils were purple. However, his eyes were filled with confusion. After a long while, he murmured, "Where is this? Wasn't I dead?" This man was none other than Zhao Tian, who had been struck by the primordial purple lightning and brought here.

"Ah..." Zhao Tian clutched his head, a sharp pain shooting through his brain, and immediately fainted. Several hours later, Zhao Tian slowly regained consciousness. His mind was filled with many memories that shouldn't have been his.

"It's...the chaos! How did that lightning strike me and send me to the chaos?" Zhao Tian muttered incredulously. Indeed, this was the chaotic space before the primordial era, before heaven and earth were separated. "Transmigration...this is too unbelievable! I actually ran into this; I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Oh well, since I've encountered it, I'll have to plan carefully and make the most of my second life..."

After speaking, he sat cross-legged, mimicking the meditation posture of the ancients, and focused all his energy on digesting the extra memories. These memories were the inheritance inherent in the Purple Lightning Chosen Master. More than ten days passed before Zhao Tian fully absorbed the memories.

Upon waking, his face lit up with wild joy. "There are actually Taoist magic and supernatural powers... Hahaha, Heaven has been kind to me!" Zhao Tian danced with excitement.

In an instant, he felt his body tighten, and an immense pressure came over him. The surrounding chaotic energy seemed to boil, and Zhao Tian felt as if his body was about to c***k open.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately swore an oath: "The Great Dao is above, from this day forward there is no more Zhao Tian, only the Azure Heaven in the Chaos." The oath was indeed effective immediately, and the immense pressure vanished without a trace.

"That was close, I was killed... I never thought this Great Dao really existed. It seems the things in myths aren't false after all." Zhao Tian lowered his head and panted heavily. It seems he really has to change his name from now on (My name is Cangtian - that's how the protagonist will be called from now on).

After a long while, Cangtian felt a chill below and suddenly realized, "How did I become a naked man?" He instinctively covered his face with his hands, his head constantly glancing around.

"Wait a minute, there's no one here in this chaos, and no one will see me naked, so what's there to be afraid of?" Thinking this, she relaxed and no longer seemed so shy.

Cang Tian took some time to sort out his thoughts, but this process revealed many problems. He discovered that he was still in a primordial spirit state and didn't even have a physical body. It seemed he needed to condense a physical body, and also find some clothes, as being naked was never a comfortable experience.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged and retrieved a method for condensing the physical body from his memory, beginning his practice. Soon, the surrounding chaotic energy surged towards Zhao Tian like a vortex, gradually thickening until it completely enveloped him.

The so-called cultivation knows no time. It took thousands of years for this physical body to be formed. After the chaotic energy dissipated, the physical body was finally formed. Its appearance was no different from the primordial spirit, except that it had a pair of purple wings on its back. The entire wing was surrounded by purple lightning, and there was a lightning mark on each side of the front. It wore a purple Taoist robe, which was formed from spiritual energy and had no defense whatsoever. It was only used to cover its body.

"I didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by the Great Dao so quickly," Cangtian frowned, his face grim. There was not a trace of joy at the formation of his physical body.

Originally, Cangtian was not a being from the Chaos, but a being from a later era. He was not within the Great Dao, and thus became an anomaly. The Great Dao was ruthless and wanted to kill him, but Cangtian willingly abandoned his former self and was no longer an anomaly.

That's true. Ever since Cangtian's physical body was formed, he learned that he had been given a new identity by the Great Dao - the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods. This was a very awkward identity. Although he was powerful, he was destined to die and could not escape the calamity of death.

The mortal enemy of the three thousand demon gods is the great god Pangu who created the world. If Cangtian does not abandon his former self, he will be killed immediately. However, Cangtian is so smart that he immediately realized that he had been tricked. If he does not abandon his former self, he believes that there is a 90% chance that he will not be killed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a sudden flash of inspiration and made a vow just before being killed, and that enlightenment didn't come from himself, but was revealed by the Great Dao.

"What a brilliant plan! It's truly a brilliant plan. The understanding of human nature is so accurate. It is indeed worthy of the Great Dao." Cangtian couldn't help but praise coldly. He immediately made a vow in his heart, "I must never be afraid of death again. I must be decisive in killing, otherwise I will be played to death by the sages of the future. How can my life be controlled by others?"
