This was nothing like the Demon Clan. It was more like the Great Witches of the Wu Clan from legend, who cultivated only their bodies and not their Primordial Spirits, capable of tearing dragons and phoenixes apart barehanded and directly contending with Innate Spiritual Treasures!
Niu Ben gave him no more time to think.
He simply threw another punch.
This punch was ten times faster and a hundred times more powerful than the Yellow Ox Clan Leader's previous punch!
As the punch flew out, wind and thunder stirred, and the Great Dao lamented!
A fist imprint condensed to the extreme tore through space, ignored distance, and instantly appeared before the Yellow Ox Clan Leader.
"No!"
The Yellow Ox Clan Leader let out a terrified roar. He pushed all his mana to its limits, and a thick earth-yellow suit of armor, heavy as a mountain, emerged over his body. It was a defensive Magic Treasure he had refined with his Lifebound Essence Blood for countless years.
However.
Before that absolute power, all of it was as fragile as paper.
Bang!
The fist imprint descended.
That suit of armor, a High-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, did not even last a breath before exploding into countless fragments!
Immediately afterward, that terrifying force struck the Yellow Ox Clan Leader squarely in the chest.
Rumble—!
The Yellow Ox Clan Leader was blasted from the ten-thousand-zhang sky like a meteor by that punch, smashing viciously into the tallest Divine Mountain below!
The entire Divine Mountain shook violently. Bottomless cracks spread wildly across its surface, as though it might collapse at any moment!
"Pfft—"
From deep within the mountain came the sound of the Yellow Ox Clan Leader vomiting blood mixed with chunks of organs.
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
The Yellow Ox Clan Leader struggled out of the rubble. His hair was disheveled and his body covered in blood. There was no trace left of the dignity of a Late Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
He stared at the figure in the sky, who resembled a demon god, his face filled with terror.
"How could you be so strong..."
One punch!
Just one punch had shattered his defenses and grievously injured him!
Was this truly strength an Early Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal could possess?
"Have you submitted?"
"I refuse!"
The Yellow Ox Clan Leader roared, and the fear in his eyes turned into madness.
He could not lose!
If he lost, he would lose not only his own dignity, but also the ancient glory of the entire Yellow Ox Clan!
"Roar!"
He revealed his true form, transforming into a colossal Divine Ox ten thousand zhang tall and completely golden. Its four hooves shattered the void as it charged at Niu Ben once more!
"Still refusing?"
Niu Ben sneered.
"Then I'll beat you until you submit!"
His body flashed, and he instantly appeared above the colossal Divine Ox. He raised his right foot, then stomped down viciously!
Boom!
That stomp seemed to crush the entire sky!
The ten-thousand-zhang Divine Ox let out a miserable wail as its enormous body was stomped directly from the air and smashed back into the earth, reducing the already ruined Divine Mountain to complete rubble!
"I still refuse!"
Boom!
"I... refuse..."
Boom!
"I..."
Boom!
Again and again, Niu Ben dragged the Yellow Ox Clan Leader out of the ground, then stomped him down mercilessly once more!
Each time was heavier than the last!
Each time brought the Yellow Ox Clan Leader one step closer to death!
The entire territory of the Yellow Ox Clan was reduced to a chaotic abyss beneath this terrifying ravaging.
In the end.
When Niu Ben once again held the Yellow Ox Clan Leader in his hand, barely alive and unable even to maintain his true form.
That bloodied, mangled ox face finally revealed complete despair and submission.
"I... I submit... Stop hitting me..."
The Yellow Ox Clan Leader's voice was weak, faint as a thread.
"I... My Yellow Ox Clan is willing... willing to submit..."
"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done that sooner?"
Niu Ben casually tossed him onto the ground, his tone utterly calm.
Meanwhile.
Niu Ba and the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief advanced with unstoppable force.
With the Vajra Bracelet, such a terrifying weapon, in hand, no Ox Clan Tribe could resist them.
The moment that pale white bracelet emerged, heaven and earth lost their color, and the Great Dao itself lamented.
No matter what long-renowned Golden Immortal expert it was, before this divine artifact, their heaven-reaching mana was as fragile as paper.
No matter how impregnable a Clan Protection Array was, under that absolute power, it was instantly crushed into dust.
All Magic Treasures were forcibly seized by the bracelet, their spiritual light dimming as they cried out mournfully.
Those once-arrogant Ox Clan experts were beaten until their bodies split apart and their Primordial Spirits shook. They could not even summon a thought of resistance.
Half a month later.
At the Ancestral Land of the Green Ox Clan, the elites and experts of every Ox Clan branch within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains had gathered.
Hundreds of thousands of Ox Clan members stood together, their auras merging into one. Their soaring blood energy nearly dyed the sky crimson.
Countless ox heads formed a black ocean stretching beyond sight, with a murderous aura permeating every inch of the air.
The once-ruined clan grounds had long since been reforged through supreme mana and expanded more than a hundredfold.
A magnificent palace bearing ancient Ox Demon Totems rose from the ground, gathering spiritual energy from all directions and displaying the supreme majesty of a newly risen overlord.
Upon the throne at the center of the palace, Niu Ben wore a Mystic Black King Robe. His gaze was as deep as an abyss as he looked down at the masses of subjects below.
In his eyes, the Fortune of the entire Ox Clan had gathered into an invisible golden divine dragon, coiling above the palace and silently roaring at him.
Led by the Yellow Ox Clan Leader and the Barbarian Ox Clan Chief, hundreds of Ox Clan leaders—once proud and unruly regional overlords—now trembled as they knelt on the ground.
They pressed their once-proud heads deeply and humiliatingly to the earth.
"Greetings, Ox King!"
A wave of voices, condensed almost into substance, erupted from the earth and transformed into a mountain-shaking, sea-roaring sound wave that rang through the skies.
At that very moment, the cold yet pleasant system notification sounded in Niu Ben's mind as expected.
"Ding!" "Congratulations, Master, for completing the hidden mission [Ox Clan King]. You have successfully unified the Ox Clan of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Fortune has gathered, and your prestige has greatly increased." "Mission reward obtained: one [Fragment of Innate Supreme Treasure]." "The fragment has been stored in the system space. Please claim it, Master." "Note: Collect seven Fragments of Innate Supreme Treasure, and the system can combine them into one complete Innate Supreme Treasure."
A faint smile finally appeared on Niu Ben's calm face.
An Innate Supreme Treasure!
This was a supreme object that even Saints coveted!
Without the slightest hesitation, his divine sense instantly entered the system space.
An ancient fragment wreathed in dense Chaos Qi and covered in profound Great Dao patterns floated silently there, emanating a supreme Dao aura capable of suppressing all heavens.
Even a mere probe from his divine sense made his Primordial Spirit tremble violently, as though it would be drawn inside the next instant and sink into the most primordial, vast truths of the Great Dao.
This was a Fragment of Innate Supreme Treasure!
It truly defied the heavens!
