Big Shot, Doing Whatever He Wants

As the Eye of the Heavenly Dao dissipated, the oppressive force that had been weighing on everyone's hearts also receded like the tide, quickly leaving no trace.

The valley was a mess, with charred pits everywhere, except for the area around Xiang Dong's feet, which was intact within a three-meter radius.

The Heavenly Dao has receded, but this does not mean the crisis is completely over.

On the contrary, the real test is just beginning, because the Three Pure Ones have not given up on the Creation Green Lotus.

Although the Creation Green Lotus chose Xiang Dong, they saw it as Xiang Dong stealing the fortuitous opportunity that originally belonged to them, and even a Heaven-Opening Merit was taken away by Xiang Dong.

With both old and new grudges combined, it's only natural that a thorough reckoning must be settled.

Shangqing stared at the phone in Xiang Dong's hand. "Eldest brother, second brother, the Heavenly Punishment has retreated. The Heavenly Dao failed to destroy the Creation Green Lotus. This is an opportunity."

Yuqing gripped the Pangu Banner tightly. Whether it was the Heavenly Dao's impotent rage or its retreat, it made him very uncomfortable, and his dislike for Xiang Dong intensified as a result.

But Yuqing had to admit that this was indeed an opportunity.

"The Heavenly Dao has tacitly acknowledged the existence of the Creation Green Lotus. As long as we seize it, the Twenty-Four-Rank Creation Green Lotus will be a complete Innate Supreme Treasure, and we will no longer need to worry about the Heavenly Dao bringing down divine punishment."

Taiqing said in a deep voice, "The Creation Green Lotus is originally from the lineage of Pangu. Our fortuitous opportunity as the Three Pure Ones is simply reclaiming what belongs to us."

The eldest brother is really shrewd; they were just taking back what was theirs, so it doesn't count as robbery.

Yuqing immediately chimed in, "He stole our fortuitous opportunity and disrespected the Heavenly Dao; we must annihilate him, body and soul!"

Taiqing frowned slightly. He had some reservations about Yuqing's advocacy of the Heavenly Dao, but this was the path Yuqing had chosen himself, and now was not the time to discuss it. He gave her a word of advice.

"This person is quite strange, and that Acquired Merit Treasure was forged by the Great God Pangu from the Heaven-Opening Merit. Second brother, third brother, do not be careless."

"Yes, elder brother!"

Shangqing stepped forward and, together with his two elder brothers, blocked Xiang Dong in a triangular formation.

"What a hassle!"

Unlike the two Western Saints, the Three Pure Ones are protected by the Heaven-Opening Merit, so they are not particularly afraid of his Merit treasures.

Moreover, he had lost the protection of his Merits at this moment, because the Heavenly Dao had not done nothing. The reason it appeared and stared at Xiang Dong was to lock onto Xiang Dong with its own eyes, so as to temporarily freeze Xiang Dong's Heavenly Dao Merits.

To put it simply: Dear customer, we have detected abnormal activity in your bank account, and the funds in your account have been temporarily frozen. Please provide valid proof to unfreeze your funds.

Damn it, you're trying to pull this on me.

Those with higher privileges than me really have it all; they can do whatever they want.

Heavenly Dao: Sorry, but my authority is higher than yours; I can really do whatever I want.

With the Heavenly Dao Merit locked, the gold color of the phone case, which was originally dull and shiny, turned into a matte black.

Faced with the menacing Three Pure Ones, Xiang Dong immediately jumped onto Ao Yue's back and hugged his neck.

"What are you standing there for? The wind is blowing hard, let's get out of here! Retreat, retreat, the entire army retreat!"

"Oh oh!"

Ao Yue then realized what was happening and immediately transformed into True Dragon, soaring into the sky. Xuehuang and Junshan Qilin followed closely behind, using their spiritual treasures to block the Three Pure Ones' attack.

In the distance, the two brothers, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, chose to watch the fire from across the river.

"Senior brother, shall we make our move?"

Jie Yin silently considered it for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Wait, wait and see, let's follow along first."

"Good!"

Zhun Ti. As a close friend who was born together and had been inseparable for many years, Jie Yin understood what Zhun Ti meant even though he hadn't explained it clearly.

The Three Pure Ones possess Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, and their overall strength surpasses that of the Three Riders. Without their coordinated efforts, the Three Riders might not be able to hold out for long.

So we have to wait, stay calm, and see if Xiang Dong, this extraordinary guy, has any other trump cards up his sleeve. That way, we won't be too anxious about snatching the spiritual treasure.

If Xiang Dong had no trump cards up his sleeve, then they might be able to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

They're not disloyal; they're just acting like truly despicable people.

These two guys have a criminal record—oh wait, that's a future matter. Calling it a criminal record isn't quite right; it's more like we have to be on guard.

Another long chase ensued.

Xiang Dong felt that the plot was somewhat familiar. He recalled that when he went to the East Sea, he had a similar experience, but back then he and Nuwa were being chased by a Qilin.

He was now being protected by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, running at all his might, pursued by the Three Pure Ones, with two Western Saints, who seemed to be stealing his life, trailing behind.

With five future Heavenly Dao Sage following closely behind, such a lineup is truly unique in the creation of the world.

If it were Xiang Dong, who had previously been determined to die, he would have clapped and cheered, shouting, "Come on, let the storm rage even more fiercely! Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower! Pangu Banner, hit me hard!"

But not now. He still has many things to do, and he has three mounts that would fight to the death to protect him.

Xiang Dong glanced back and saw that the Three Pure Ones' escape light was right behind him, the distance between them was not widening at all, and was even getting closer. It wouldn't be long before they caught up.

The reason is simple: the Pangu Banner in Yuqing's hand can tear through space to travel.

For Great Unity Golden Immortal to travel through space in the Primordial World is a rather rare occurrence.

The spatial barriers of the Primordial World are not something that even Great Unity Golden Immortal can tear apart. Even for Quasi-Saints and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, it is by no means an easy task.

But Yuqing was able to achieve this simply by relying on the Pangu Banner; it was as if the door was open.

As the distance between them closed, Yuqing grasped the Pangu Banner and shook it directly in front of Xiang Dong.

A hazy, Chaos Sword Qi traversed a hundred miles, slashing down on the path Ao Yue was destined to take.

The Chaos Sword Qi ripped open a hole in space, unleashing a torrent of violent spatial turbulence that forced Ao Yue to brake abruptly and dodge to the side.

In that brief moment of delay, Taiqing and Shangqing were able to surround and encircle them.

The Taiji Diagram in Taiqing's hand swelled in the wind, transforming into a golden bridge spanning the sky and pressing down on Xiang Dong and the others.

Wherever the golden bridge passed, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was frozen, and the space became viscous. The three riders felt as if they were in a quagmire, and their speed decreased instantly.

"Take the master and leave, I'll hold them off!"

Ao Yue roared and threw Xiang Dong to Xuehuang. She then used the three Innate Spirit Treasures on her head to push upwards, giving Xuehuang a chance to catch her breath.

The Junshan Qilin stood on its four hooves in the void, trying to help Ao Yue share the suppressing power of the Taiji Diagram.

Just as Xuehuang was preparing to burn her Essence Blood and forcefully break through with Xiang Dong, two golden lights rushed in.

The golden light was extremely fast and carried a domineering and powerful heat. Xiang Dong reacted instantly and recognized it as the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique, one of the fastest escape techniques.

The identities of these two golden lights are self-evident; who else could they be but Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi?
