My Son, This, This is an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Hearing Niu Ben's question, he dared not conceal anything and quickly replied.

"R-Reporting to the Great King, among the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, there are hundreds of ox clan branches, large and small, but only a few are truly presentable."

"The strongest among them is the Yellow Ox Clan's Ancestor, a being at the Late Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. It's said he inherited an ancient legacy, and his physical body is incomparably formidable."

"Aside from him, the strongest in the other clans are merely Golden Immortals, nothing to worry about."

Niu Ben listened and nodded.

Late Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, huh.

His mind raced. He had to complete the system task as quickly as possible and obtain that Fragment of Innate Supreme Treasure.

"Alright, I understand."

He looked at his father, Niu Ba, then selected a new Golden Immortal from the Barbaric Ox Tribe to become the clan leader, sending him with Niu Ba to subdue the other tribes.

"We'll split into two groups."

"Father, you and he will take people to conquer the remaining tribes."

"I'll go to the Yellow Ox Clan."

Hearing this, Niu Ba's face showed a trace of worry: "My son, that Yellow Ox Ancestor is after all a Late Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. You..."

Before he could finish, Niu Ben raised a hand and cut him off.

A flash of white light appeared, and a stark white bracelet materialized in Niu Ben's hand.

"Father, take this."

Niu Ben handed over the Vajra Bracelet.

"With this in hand, as long as no Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal comes in person, no one can harm a hair on your head."

Niu Ba took the bracelet, feeling the terrifying power contained within it, and his hands trembled.

My son, this, this is an Innate Spiritual Treasure!

The look in his eyes as he gazed at his son had completely turned into adoration.

With such a treasure, subduing those small tribes guarded by Golden Immortals was nothing—even sweeping through the entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains would be no challenge!

After they split into two groups.

Niu Ben wasted no time. His form flickered, and crossing endless mountains and rivers, he arrived above the Yellow Ox Clan's territory.

Here, mountain ranges stretched endlessly, the earth a thick, heavy ochre yellow. Even the spiritual energy carried a sense of solid weight, clearly marking this as an excellent Blessed Land.

The moment he appeared, from the tallest sacred mountain below, a fierce and unmatched aura shot into the sky, as if a slumbering ancient beast had been thoroughly awakened.

"Who goes there, daring to trespass on the Yellow Ox Clan's land!"

In the void, an old man in an ochre-yellow Daoist robe, tall and imposing with a naturally stern face, materialized out of thin air, blocking Niu Ben's path.

Late Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

That pressure, as heavy as the earth itself, would make any Early Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal's heart tremble.

But Niu Ben's expression remained unchanged. He stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.

"I am the Green Ox Clan Leader, Niu Ben."

"I've come here today for a simple reason: to subdue your Yellow Ox Clan."

The Yellow Ox Clan Leader was stunned for a moment, then swept his divine sense over Niu Ben.

Early Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?

He seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter shook the clouds, making the entire sky and earth rumble.

"You? A mere junior at the Early Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal dares to spout such nonsense about subduing my Yellow Ox Clan?"

His laughter ceased abruptly, and his gaze turned icy cold.

"Kid, seeing as your cultivation hasn't been easy, get lost now, and This Seat will pretend nothing happened. If you keep blathering, don't blame This Seat for pulling out your soul and suppressing it for ten thousand years!"

Niu Ben acted as if he hadn't heard, merely watching him calmly.

Seeing this, the Yellow Ox Clan Leader burned with rage, his fierce aura surging even higher.

"Fine, fine, fine! Since you're so set on dying, This Seat will grant your wish!"

"Let's have a fight." Niu Ben finally spoke, his tone still flat. "If you win, my Green Ox Clan is yours to do with as you please."

"If you lose, your Yellow Ox Clan will submit to me as their master."

The Yellow Ox Clan Leader's eyes narrowed, then he sneered.

"Good! You've got guts!"

"This Seat will play along with you, and let you die convinced!"

"You make the first move." Niu Ben waved his hand casually.

"Looking for death!"

The Yellow Ox Clan Leader was thoroughly enraged.

He no longer suppressed his power. With a furious roar, he threw a punch!

This punch carried no flashy spells—only pure, extreme force!

The void trembled as the laws of earth manifested into a massive Golden Divine Ox Phantom, as if it had stepped out of the ancient wilderness, its body wreathed in heavy earth laws as it roared and charged straight at Niu Ben!

A single blow like this could level a divine mountain spanning millions of miles!

Yet.

Niu Ben stood motionless in place.

He didn't even lift an eyelid.

Just as the Golden Divine Ox Phantom was about to crash into him, the earth beneath his feet seemed to merge with his very being.

A thick, profound Mysterious Yellow Light Screen shot up from his feet, instantly enveloping him.

On that light screen, Earth Vein Dragon Qi surged, and earth laws manifested, as if the entire power of the Primordial Wilderness's Western Ox Continent had been channeled into it.

Boom!

The Golden Divine Ox Phantom slammed violently into the light screen, unleashing a deafening, earth-shaking roar!

The violent energy shockwave shredded the clouds for ten thousand miles in every direction!

But the Mysterious Yellow Light Screen merely trembled slightly, not even a single crack appearing.

Niu Ben brushed a speck of nonexistent dust from his sleeve, then raised his eyes to the Yellow Ox Clan Leader, whose face had twisted in shock. A mocking smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Is that all the strength you've got?"

"Haven't eaten?"

"You!"

The Yellow Ox Clan Leader trembled with rage, his old face flushing a liverish purple.

His furious strike couldn't even break through the other's defense?

How was this possible!

"If you've got the guts, fight me head-on! Stop hiding like a turtle!" the Yellow Ox Clan Leader roared in fury.

"Fine."

Niu Ben replied.

He took a step forward.

Just one step, and heaven and earth changed color.

The Mysterious Yellow Light Screen around him vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribably terrifying aura that erupted from within him!

It wasn't mana, nor Dao resonance—it was a pure, brutal, overwhelming force of the physical body, as if it could tear apart the nine heavens and crush the underworld!

The moment this power emerged, the Yellow Ox Clan Leader's proud Primordial Unity Golden Immortal late-stage pressure was like a tiny flame in a gale, instantly suppressed, flickering and nearly extinguished!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From within Niu Ben's body came a series of muffled, thunderous roars!

It was the one thousand five hundred Earth Fiend Divine Oxen inside him, roaring in unison!

Endless power converged, making his body seem like a true Chaos Godfiend. Just standing there caused the void itself to buckle, cracking apart inch by inch!

"Th-this... what kind of power is this?!"

The Yellow Ox Clan Leader paled in terror, feeling his Dao Heart tremble!

This power was too terrifying!

He had never seen it, never even imagined that any being of the Demon Race could cultivate their physical body to such a horrifying degree!
