If we were to consider the Primordial Chaos as defined by Hongjun of the Great Dao, then the so-called True Dao is merely a derivative concept of Primordial Chaos.
Then, what is supreme?
There is no supreme.
By design, there is no way to distinguish between them.
However, in terms of magnitude, there can be a distinction.
This is because the Primordial Origin, by forcibly descending into the world, only possessed the strength of an Immortal King-level titan.
The Hongjun of the Great Dao before Fang Ming also forcibly descended, his magnitude severely reduced.
Yet, he still possessed the strength of a twelve-star infinite multiverse level, the peak of twelve stars.
The magnitude of the twelve-star peak.
This can be equated to the existence of the Dao Sacrifice realm in Sage Ruins.
A peak powerhouse within the three layers of boxes.
This was Hongjun of the Great Dao even after being weakened.
Fang Ming estimated that in his full prime, Hongjun of the Great Dao would undoubtedly be an ancient sage with strength beyond the fifty-layer boxes.
"Hongjun of the Great Dao..."
"Primordial Supreme..."
Fang Ming glanced at the old man.
The old man said, "Although we have no enmity, our stances conflict. Ancient sages and extraterrestrial demons are mortal enemies, and there is no way to resolve this."
"There's no need for further discussion; a great battle is inevitable."
Fang Ming, however, smiled and said, "Does the ancient sage know of the outer void sea?"
The old man said calmly, "Although you are young, you are indeed cunning and ultimately not of the righteous path."
The Primordial Chaos world trembled.
All concepts were being subverted.
The great battle began.
The youth and the old man.
The battle between Fang Ming and Hongjun of the Great Dao, like a storm, swept across the entire Primordial Chaos world.
The Primordial Chaos world, the Ancient Primordial Chaos realm, a world so vast that even infinite multiverse-level powerhouses could not explore its end.
Finally, it ushered in a catastrophe that swept across the entire realm.
Countless Primordial Chaos beings were alerted.
"What is that?"
"I feel the Primordial Chaos power within me is shaking, losing its meaning."
"The Primordial Chaos body is being shaken by a supreme power..."
"What kind of existence is this? What kind of powerhouse? Has the legendary Primordial Supreme appeared?"
Some Primordial Chaos beings exclaimed.
They had heard from other Primordial Chaos beings that there seemed to be a source in the Ancient Primordial Chaos realm.
It was that source that created the Ancient Primordial Chaos realm and established the rules of the Path of Sentience and the Path of Insentience.
That source could easily influence all Primordial Chaos beings, no matter how strong they were; their Primordial Chaos power would instantly bow to that great existence.
This was a rumor.
A rumor whose truth or falsehood was unknown, spread by some Primordial Chaos being in the very beginning.
This rumor revealed the existence of the Primordial Supreme.
But whether this rumor was true or not, no Primordial Chaos being had ever confirmed it before.
Rumors were always just rumors!
Although it was rumored that some Primordial Chaos beings had seen the Primordial Supreme, they could never provide concrete proof, nor was there any actual evidence to support it.
This led many Primordial Chaos beings to doubt the truthfulness and authenticity of this rumor.
Many Primordial Chaos beings did not believe that the so-called Primordial Supreme realm existed, nor did they believe the claim in that rumor that the Primordial Supreme could shake the cultivation foundation of all Primordial Chaos beings with a single thought.
Primordial Chaos power.
This was the foundation of Primordial Chaos beings.
It was the power cultivated by Chaos beings who had transcended and relied on the nature of the Ancient Primordial Chaos realm.
It was the foundation of cultivation.
Therefore, many Primordial Chaos beings had previously dismissed this rumor.
They believed in the existence of stronger Primordial Chaos beings, believing in Primordial Chaos beings with more Primordial Chaos power or higher quality within them.
But they did not believe in the existence of a Primordial Supreme who could control all Primordial Chaos beings, who was the very origin of Primordial Chaos power.
But now, they believed.
"So, the Primordial Supreme truly exists, and there is indeed a powerhouse capable of generating the nature of Primordial Chaos power with a single thought, encompassing all concepts of Primordial Chaos power."
"All Primordial Chaos beings are its derivatives..."
Many Primordial Chaos beings felt a chill run down their spines as they thought of themselves as derivatives of that existence.
This was someone who controlled the changes in the nature of Primordial Chaos power and was the creator of the concept of Primordial Chaos!
The Primordial Supreme truly exists...
Doesn't this mean that if this Primordial Supreme willed it, they could strip all Primordial Chaos beings in the Ancient Primordial Chaos realm of their level and transform them back into Chaos beings?
Primordial Chaos power is a derivative of the Primordial Supreme, and the Primordial Chaos body is also a derivative of the Primordial Supreme.
Since they were created by the Primordial Supreme, if the Primordial Supreme wanted to reclaim their Primordial Chaos power and alter their thoughts and will, would it be easy, or even just instinctual?
And they would be powerless to resist, or even if the Primordial Supreme agreed, they would never be able to cultivate to the Supreme realm.
One was the existence that created Primordial Chaos power, and the other was the existence that cultivated Primordial Chaos power.
How could a Primordial Chaos being who cultivated Primordial Chaos power, no matter how powerful, contend with the Primordial Supreme?
Primordial Chaos beings could never, ever cultivate to become Primordial Supremes; they could only cultivate to become stronger Primordial Chaos beings.
"Primordial Supreme..."
"Primordial Supreme..."
"For trillions of years, countless years, we have never seen any trace of the Primordial Supreme. We thought that the realm of the Primordial Supreme did not exist, that it was fictional... How is it that today, a Primordial Supreme has suddenly appeared?"
In countless regions of the Ancient Primordial Chaos realm, powerful Primordial Chaos beings felt fear towards the Primordial Supreme.
They feared the supreme power of the Primordial Supreme and deeply felt their own powerlessness against it.
If it were ordinary realms, or stronger Primordial Chaos power, they still had the possibility of cultivating and controlling it.
They could still cultivate step by step and reach it.
But this Primordial Supreme was simply a realm that all Primordial Chaos beings could not reach no matter how hard they tried, with a zero possibility of cultivation.
Once they knew of such an existence, they had no sense of security, because everything they possessed could be taken away by this Primordial Supreme at any moment.
"No! The Primordial Supreme is not unconquerable!"
In the vast and boundless Ancient Primordial Chaos realm, although the vast majority of Primordial Chaos beings only sensed the presence of Hongjun of the Great Dao and the supreme power that was the origin of all Primordial Chaos power, they did not sense Fang Ming's presence.
They thought that only Hongjun of the Great Dao had appeared.
However, a very small portion of Primordial Chaos beings, while sensing the presence of Hongjun of the Great Dao, also sensed Fang Ming's presence.
In their perception, Fang Ming was not the Primordial Supreme, yet he could fight Hongjun of the Great Dao on equal footing, with no clear winner.
Although they found it difficult to analyze what methods Fang Ming was using, and the killing moves Fang Ming employed were beyond their comprehension even if they spent their entire lives trying,
They could clearly sense that Fang Ming, the youth, was capable of standing against Hongjun of the Great Dao.
He was not instantly defeated by Hongjun of the Great Dao upon seeing him, with all his Primordial Chaos power nullified.
