Within the Green Ox Clan's territory, the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief stood with his hands behind his back. The pressure of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal radiated from him like tangible mountains, crushing the blood-soaked colossal Green Ox below.
He looked down from above at the Green Ox Clan Leader, Niu Ba.
"Niu Ba, I'll give you one last chance."
"If you resist again, don't blame me for being ruthless and making your Green Ox lineage run with blood!"
There was not a trace of emotion in the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's voice. He did not regard Niu Ba as worthy of notice at all.
A Golden Immortal and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal differed by only one word, yet they were worlds apart.
"Hmph!"
Niu Ba's massive bovine head coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of organs, yet he still held his head high.
"When my son returns, you will all die without a burial place!"
My son is the mount of a Future Saint!
With such origins, such fortune, how could a pack of frogs at the bottom of a well like you possibly comprehend it?
"Hahahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief seemed to have heard the funniest joke since the creation of the world.
He was briefly stunned, then the muscles on his rugged face began to twitch wildly.
"Pfft..."
Unable to hold it back, he first expelled a breath of foul air before erupting into laughter that tore through the heavens!
"Hahahahahaha!"
His violent laughter became tangible shockwaves, spreading outward in mad rings!
Before those terrifying soundwaves, countless boulders weighing tens of thousands of tons tumbled from the surrounding mountains, kicking up dust that filled the sky!
Within a hundred miles, countless low-cultivation demons were so terrified by the laughter that their livers and gallbladders ruptured. Blood streamed from their seven orifices as they collapsed unconscious on the spot!
"That useless son of yours?"
"A stray dog who left home tens of thousands of years ago, and whose life or death is still unknown?"
"Niu Ba, cultivation has rotted your brain. You've gone senile!"
The laughter came to an abrupt halt!
It vanished!
The world instantly fell into deathly silence. The suffocating oppression was a hundred times more terrifying than the previous laughter!
The Barbarian Ox Clan Chief looked down at Niu Ba in the deep pit. In his bell-sized bovine eyes, killing intent surged to its peak, becoming two bolts of blood-red lightning that seemed ready to rip apart space itself!
He could not be bothered to say another word.
Any words were unnecessary for a stubborn old fool on the verge of death.
He said nothing more. Slowly raising his right hand, he spread his fingers and lightly pressed down toward the enormous pit below!
BOOM!!!
In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light!
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth—no, the immortal spiritual energy above it—was madly drawn in by an unmatched will and instantly condensed!
A Dharma Power Giant Palm beyond description appeared out of thin air above the heavens!
It blotted out the sky and covered the mountains. Within its palm, countless Great Dao runes emerged and vanished, like a collapsing Small World. Carrying the terrifying force to crush all things, erase all things, and return even space and time to Chaos, it crashed down!
He had used his full strength in this strike!
He wanted to grind Niu Ba, along with his ridiculous hope, into dust!
"Roar—!!!"
From within the deep pit, Niu Ba sensed the aura of death that could utterly erase him. He let out the final unyielding roar of his life!
He exhausted the last remnants of Dharma power within his body, drained every drop of his essence blood, and activated his Demon Clan true form!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At that moment, his pair of enormous horns, which were nearly broken, actually began to burn, blooming with the most brilliant and dazzling green light of his life!
That green light contained all his comprehension of the Golden Immortal Great Dao. It was the final pride of the Green Ox Clan!
He charged forward without hesitation!
Yet...
Before absolute power, all of it was ultimately futile.
It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Like a fool's dream.
BANG!!!
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out, overwhelming every sound that had come before!
The green light, brilliant to the extreme, could not even endure for a single breath upon touching the Dharma Power Giant Palm before it shattered with a thunderous crash!
The light was instantly extinguished!
Niu Ba's mountain-sized body was ruthlessly slammed into the ground by that Sky-Covering Giant Palm with absolute inevitability!
Rumble—
The entire earth seemed to have been struck head-on by an Extraterrestrial Star. Centered on the deep pit, it collapsed several thousand more zhang downward!
Terrifying bottomless fissures spread madly in every direction, reaching as far as a thousand miles away!
"Puh—"
What Niu Ba spat out was no longer ordinary blood, but Golden Divine Blood mixed with fragments of organs. In that instant, his aura weakened to its lowest point, as though it could go out at any moment.
His life force was rapidly draining away.
The gap in their strength was simply too great.
Great enough to drive one into despair.
The Barbarian Ox Clan Chief slowly descended. His black robe snapped in the fierce wind as he stood at the edge of the enormous pit, large enough to bury an entire clan, his gaze cold and indifferent.
This was the last time he spoke, with the pity of a victor.
"You and I are both of the Ox Clan. I cherish your hard-won Golden Immortal cultivation."
"After all, in the perilous Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, a Golden Immortal can still be considered a considerable force."
"Will you surrender now?"
The answer he received was the difficult movement of that mangled figure in the pit.
Using the last of his strength, Niu Ba slowly raised his nearly shattered head and pulled open a mouth that no longer resembled its original form.
"Wait... until... my son... returns... you're... dead!"
"Stubborn to the end! You're courting death!"
The Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's patience was finally exhausted completely.
His killing intent condensed to its peak, freezing the surrounding air into ice crystals!
He raised his hand again. This time, destructive lightning danced at his fingertips, ready to end Niu Ba's life completely and cast his soul into the Nine Netherworlds, never to be reborn for eternity!
And it was at this critical moment, when life and death hung by a thread.
A cold, furious voice filled with endless baleful intent, as though it came from the deepest depths of Nine Netherworlds Hell, yet also like the furious roar of the Heavenly Dao, suddenly resounded through the entire void without warning!
"You dare!!!"
Rumble!!!
Those two simple words contained the supreme might of Word of Law!
The instant the voice fell, an aura of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal no weaker than the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's—yet purer, more ancient, and more tyrannical in essence—descended from an unknown place above the heavens like the Nine Heavens Milky Way pouring backward!
The moment this aura appeared, the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's once-proud pressure was instantly suppressed until it trembled on the verge of collapse!
