Saint Taishang walked up to Niu Ben and nodded slightly, his calm voice carrying the highest praise.
"My disciple, you deserve the greatest credit for this battle."
"The otherworldly Saint Ancestor has been slain. The threat this Highest Demon Realm posed to our Primordial Wilderness has finally been eradicated."
Even the Primordial Heavenly Lord showed a rare, gentle smile.
"Indeed. After this battle, the fortune of our Primordial Wilderness Realm will surely soar. Niu Ben, the foremost credit belongs to you."
The Tongtian Cult Master laughed heartily and gave Niu Ben's shoulder a pat and a squeeze.
"Well done, lad! You haven't disgraced me or your master! Once we return, you can drink all the fine wine in Biyou Palace you like!"
Faced with everyone's praise, Niu Ben merely smiled, then turned his gaze toward the very heart of the Demon Realm below.
At the spot where the Saint Ancestor had fallen, a dazzling light suddenly flared in the deepest reaches beneath the Demon Realm's land.
Rumble!
An infinitely vast, utterly pure surge of laws erupted.
An immense, deep-purple sphere of light, resembling an Ancient Star, slowly rose from the subterranean ruins.
A full three thousand chains of complete Great Dao Laws wound around the sphere's surface, each radiating the supreme might of a Great Thousand World.
It was none other than the entirety of the Heavenly Dao's origin essence, condensed after the Highest Demon Realm had shattered and collapsed!
This was the most essential core of a Great Thousand World. Even a Saint who devoured and refined a portion of it could undergo an earth-shaking transformation in cultivation.
If merged into the Primordial Wilderness's Heavenly Dao, it could greatly elevate the Primordial World's standing, perhaps even allowing the Primordial Wilderness to evolve into an unprecedented eternal true world!
