Who?!

Who is it?!

The Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's heart jolted violently, an unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloping his entire being. The calm and indifference on his face vanished in a flash, replaced by sheer terror!

He jerked his head up to gaze at the sky!

This aura was so strong!

Pure to the point of terror!

This was also a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

And definitely not some novice who had just broken through!

The next moment.

Before he could even make out who was coming.

Boom!

A cyan figure, as if ignoring the distance between spaces, tore straight through the rock-solid space of the Primordial Wilderness, dragging a long spatial rift behind it, and appeared in an instant within the deep pit, standing firmly in front of Niu Ba!

The newcomer was powerfully built, with muscles knotted and bulging, exuding an explosive sense of strength. His face carried a hint of rustic honesty, but in his eyes flickered a divine light that looked down upon the world, radiating an unmatched majesty that stood tall between heaven and earth, daring to rival the heavens themselves!

"S... son? Is it you? You... you're back!"

Niu Ba stared at the back that was both familiar and foreign, his already clouded ox eyes bulging wide, nearly popping out of their sockets!

Ecstasy!

An uncontrollable wave of ecstasy surged through his heart, washing over his dying body!

Then, sensing the vast, boundless aura of his son—like an abyss or a sea, enough to stand toe-to-toe with the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief, even faintly overpowering him—the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal presence, Niu Ba was utterly stunned.

Struck by lightning!

Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

This aura couldn't be faked!

His own son, the one who had left home as just a little calf, was now a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal who could shake the world!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Niu Ba trembled violently all over, not from his injuries, but from sheer joy!

He propped up his battered, broken body, and a wild laugh burst from his throat!

"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

The laughter shook heaven and earth, filled with the exhilaration of finally holding his head high!

"My Green Ox Clan is about to rise too!!"

"You old bastard! Weren't you just trying to kill me?"

Niu Ba forced himself up from the ground, lifting his massive ox head high, and in an unprecedented, utterly arrogant tone, stretched out a trembling hoof to point at the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief on the edge of the deep pit, bellowing!

"Come on! Try moving again if you dare! My son is back! Let's see how you kill me now! Let's see if you still dare to touch a single hair on me today!"

Niu Ba's demeanor—just moments ago on the verge of death, now smug and insufferably arrogant—made Niu Ben, who had just landed and hadn't even had time to express his feelings, twitch his mouth sharply.

What the hell?

Something's off here?

This familiar line, this classic scene—wasn't it just like a novel he'd read back on Blue Star in his past life?

Wang Teng's father!

That eccentric old man who'd say to everyone, "My son Wang Teng has the makings of a Great Emperor!"

For a moment, Niu Ben, watching his own father's smug look as if he wanted to look down his nose at everyone, didn't know what to say.

Across from him, the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's face had gone from livid to purple, finally settling into pitch black.

A supreme humiliation!

This was the greatest disgrace he had suffered since breaking through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

Being pointed at and insulted like this by a defeated foe, a dying old ox!

"How dare you!"

He snorted coldly, every word seeming to squeeze through clenched teeth, and the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal pressure around him exploded without restraint once more!

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet could no longer bear his fury, cracking inch by inch into dust!

"So what if you're a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?!"

"This Seat will see today what heaven-defying tricks you father and son have!"

"Watch me suppress you both, refine your souls, and make you slaves for eternity!"

Before his words had even faded, his form blurred, faster than lightning, and he struck out with another palm!

This time, he struck with fury, his momentum several times more terrifying than when he had suppressed Niu Ba!

Upon the giant palm, the laws of the Great Dao interwove, evolving Earth Water Fire Wind, as if to reopen chaos and remake heaven and earth!

Niu Ben stepped forward, his broad back like an insurmountable divine mountain, firmly shielding Niu Ba behind him.

Facing the sky-covering, world-destroying terror of that giant palm, his face showed not a trace of ripple, not even a flicker of his eyelids.

He merely waved a hand casually forward.

Hum!

Striking later, yet arriving first!

The moment that Dharma Power Giant Palm, with its overwhelming might that seemed capable of crushing the ancient heavens, touched the seemingly insignificant Vajra Bracelet

A bizarre scene unfolded!

No earth-shattering explosion, no roar of clashing laws.

That violent and unmatched giant palm, like snow meeting the fiercest scorching sun, was dissolved into nothingness in an instant by the invisible force radiating from the pale, gleaming bracelet!

Yes, dissolved!

Not even a single ripple stirred!

And the Vajra Bracelet, blazing with light, pressed on without losing any momentum, hurtling straight toward the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's true form, aiming to snare him tightly!

"An Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

The Barbarian Ox Clan Chief was greatly alarmed. He never imagined that his opponent would casually produce such a supreme treasure!

After all, Innate Spiritual Treasures were born from heaven and earth, limited in number. Even among Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, not everyone could possess one.

Yet this mere Primordial Unity Golden Immortal before him could summon one at will?

Could this child... truly have entered Kunlun Mountain?

He recalled Niu Ba's earlier boasts, which he had dismissed as mad ramblings, but now, seeing this Innate Spiritual Treasure with his own eyes, he was already seventy or eighty percent convinced!

That was the Dao Field of the Three Pure Ones!

How could someone from such a place be someone he could afford to provoke?

The instinct to survive instantly overwhelmed everything. Without a second thought, the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief's knees went weak, and with a "thump," he fell to the ground.

"Spare me! Milord, spare me, please!"

Tears and snot streamed down his face; not a trace remained of his dignity as a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

"Don't kill me! I wish to surrender! I'm willing to lead the Savage Ox Clan and all the tribes under my command to submit to Milord!"

"Ding!"

At that moment, the system's voice rang out in Niu Ben's mind.

"God-tier Choice triggered."

"Choice One: Slay the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief and unify the Ox Clan. Reward: One [Fragment of Innate Supreme Treasure]."

"Choice Two: Subdue the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief. Reward: Hundred Thousand Years of Dharma Power."

Niu Ben's breath caught slightly.

A Fragment of Innate Supreme Treasure!

Even if just a fragment, it bore the word "Supreme Treasure"!

Its value far surpassed mere ten thousand years of Dharma Power!

Without hesitation, he made his choice in his heart.

Niu Ben paid no heed to the kneeling, begging Barbarian Ox Clan Chief. Without a moment's hesitation, he slew him directly.

Then he turned, helped up his cheap father, and stuffed a healing pill into his mouth.

Only after doing all this did he lead the others back to the already battered and broken territory of the Azure Ox Clan.

"My son, now that you've returned, the position of clan chief of the Azure Ox Clan should be yours to take."

Once his injuries had stabilized somewhat, Niu Ba looked at his son, who had exceeded all expectations, and spoke with a gratified expression.

He was ready to step down and yield to the worthy.

After all, in the current Azure Ox Clan, and even the entire Ox Clan, who could surpass his own son?

Niu Ben didn't stand on ceremony and accepted directly.

He turned to a nearby Ox Clan leader and spoke calmly.

"Do you know which strong figures sit in power among the various Ox Clan branches within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains?"
