He's not even fit to carry my shoes!
These five words, like five indelible bolts of primordial lightning, repeatedly exploded in Taiyi Zhenren's primordial spirit's sea of consciousness, shattering the arrogance of his countless years as a Saint's disciple.
The immortal's face, with its white hair and youthful complexion, was now completely distorted, no longer able to maintain any semblance of immortal grace.
A deep purple rage spread from his face to his neck, and the normally serene Yuqing Immortal Light surrounding him now raged like boiling lava.
Humiliation!
This was a humiliation that cut to the bone, etched into his very soul!
He, Taiyi Zhenren, one of the esteemed Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and a future member of the Heavenly Court's Five Imperial Lords, was being told by a newborn infant, in front of countless Great Powers of the Primordial World, that he wasn't even fit to carry shoes!
"You scoundrel!"
A roar, suppressed to the extreme, as if squeezed from between his teeth, tore through the tranquility above the General's Mansion.
Taiyi Zhenren had completely lost his composure.
He could no longer care about the face of a Saint or the demeanor of a Golden Immortal. Only one thought remained in his heart.
Fight!
He had to teach this ignorant brat a harsh lesson! Let him know what the heavens are, what the earth is, and that a Saint's disciple is not to be insulted!
"Today, I shall discipline you in place of your misguided Master!"
Taiyi Zhenren roared, and the Fly Whisk in his hand, a symbol of his status, was suddenly flicked.
Buzz!
The three thousand strands of the Fly Whisk instantly grew in the air, transforming into three thousand dazzling golden divine chains. Each chain was entwined with profound Yuqing Runes, emitting a terrifying aura capable of restraining True Immortals and annihilating primordial spirits.
Ten thousand rays of golden light swirled, weaving into a net that blocked all space above, below, and in all directions, and descended upon the tiny figure still sitting in Qin Feng's embrace, who couldn't even be bothered to look at him!
In this strike, Taiyi Zhenren acted in anger. Although he still underestimated his opponent and didn't use his full power, it was undoubtedly a thunderous technique that no one below the Golden Immortal realm could withstand!
Seeing this, Li Jing was terrified to the point of his soul scattering.
It's over!
Senior Brother Taiyi is serious!
With this kind of power, let alone his newborn child, even he, a General with the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, wouldn't last a single breath under this net of golden light!
He instinctively wanted to beg for mercy, but the terrifying pressure emanating from the Golden Immortal, like an invisible giant hand, gripped his throat tightly, preventing him from uttering a single sound.
He could only watch helplessly as the net of death drew closer and closer to his "Master" and "Senior Brother," his eyes filled with endless despair.
However, just as Li Jing thought all was lost and irrecoverable.
The man who had remained as steady as a mountain from beginning to end, Qin Feng, finally made a move.
But he didn't stand up, nor did he even attack.
He simply lowered his head, looked at Nezha in his arms, who was slightly annoyed by the dazzling golden light and wrinkling his little nose, and chuckled softly.
In that smile, there was a hint of encouragement, a hint of indulgence, and a hint of undisguised, strong disdain for the so-called Golden Immortal in the sky.
It was as if he was saying, Go ahead, let him see who the real "scoundrel" is.
Receiving his Master's "permission," a flash of excitement instantly flickered in Nezha's big, dark, and round eyes.
He seemed to have been impatient for a long time.
Just as the golden Fly Whisk was about to envelop Nezha.
An unexpected change occurred!
Within Nezha's body, the Chaos Origin Qi, personally planted by Qin Feng, seemed to sense the provocation and erupted with a roar!
A gray airflow, far more ancient, noble, and domineering than the Yuqing Immortal Light on Taiyi Zhenren, flashed and disappeared within Nezha's small body.
He casually waved his tender, fair little hand.
The golden ring, which had always been on his wrist like a small bracelet, instantly turned into a stream of light and shot out.
The Universe Ring!
This supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, born with him, had its power undergo a world-shattering change at this moment, amplified by the Chaos Origin Qi!
The golden ring, originally only palm-sized, swelled in the wind the moment it flew out, transforming into a golden divine wheel about ten feet in diameter.
The Innate Dao Patterns inscribed on it were all illuminated, and a terrifying aura, heavy enough to crush the void, erupted!
At this moment, the weight and power of the Universe Ring had increased by more than a hundredfold!
It was no longer like a mere magical artifact, but an ancient star that had fallen from chaos, carrying the terrifying power to tear through the void and crush all things. It struck from behind, fiercely meeting the vast golden Fly Whisk!
"What?!"
Taiyi Zhenren, suspended in mid-air, changed his expression for the first time.
The moment the golden divine wheel appeared, his heart screamed with alarm, and a sense of fatal danger made every hair on his body stand on end!
He had acted in anger and had extremely underestimated a newborn child, not even using thirty percent of his strength, only intending to capture and humiliate the opponent.
He never imagined that a magical artifact casually thrown by a baby could unleash such world-destroying power!
This power... was far beyond anything he could easily handle!
"Not good!"
Taiyi Zhenren cried out, and without thinking, he immediately began to frantically circulate the immortal essence within his body, attempting to strengthen the defense of his fly whisk or to retreat.
But, it was too late.
In the face of absolute power and speed, all reactions seemed pale and powerless.
With a deafening "BOOM!"
The sound was so immense, it was as if the pillars of heaven had collapsed and the earth had caved in!
All the people of Chentang Pass were rendered deaf at that moment, falling to the ground in unison.
In Li Jing's completely stunned gaze.
Under the disbelieving divine senses of countless Primordial World Great Powers hidden in the void.
That Yuqing net, woven from three thousand strands of fly whisk, radiating myriad golden lights and exuding majestic power, couldn't even hold for a single breath upon contact with the Universe Ring!
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Accompanied by a grating sound of shattering, those three thousand indestructible golden divine chains, like fragile glass, snapped inch by inch. Instantly, their spiritual light dimmed, turning into scattered light spots that retreated back.
One of Taiyi Zhenren's natal magical treasures, the fly whisk, was rendered useless on the spot!
However, the Universe Ring, with its momentum unabated, merely gained a barely perceptible white mark on its golden divine wheel before it struck Taiyi Zhenren's utterly bewildered chest with even greater ferocity!
"Pfft—!"
Taiyi Zhenren's expression froze completely.
He felt as if he hadn't been hit by a magical treasure, but by an entire primordial divine mountain crashing into his chest at faster-than-light speed.
That indescribable, terrifying power instantly destroyed all the protective immortal light he had hastily erected.
Then, it tore apart his immortal body, which, as a Golden Immortal, was supposed to be indestructible through myriad tribulations!
Taiyi Zhenren let out a piercing scream that was not human, and his entire body, like a deflated ball being swatted away, spewed out not ordinary blood, but brilliant golden blood containing his origin essence!
A Golden Immortal bled!
He was sent flying back in utter disarray, his body completely out of control, like a meteor, crashing fiercely into the heavily fortified wall of the General's Mansion, which was reinforced by formations.
"Rumble—!"
A tremendous crash.
Smoke and dust billowed, and shattered stones flew through the air.
The half-height wall of the General's Mansion, capable of withstanding thousands of troops and horses, was actually brought down by him!
As the smoke and dust slowly dispersed, all eyes converged on the ruins.
There, the Chan Sect Golden Immortal, who was once dignified and aloof, now knelt in the rubble in an extremely disheveled state.
His Apricot Yellow Daoist Robe was tattered and torn, covered in dust and bloodstains.
His silver-white long hair cascaded down, a glaring golden bloodstain at the corner of his mouth, and a clear, circular imprint was deeply sunken into his chest, indicating that his bones were shattered.
His aura was extremely weak, and his immortal face was etched with pain, confusion, and an endless, bone-deep... disbelief.
The world fell into a deathly silence.
Whether it was the Li Jing couple inside the mansion, the countless commoners outside, or the Primordial World Great Powers hidden in the void.
At this moment, everyone's thoughts came to a complete halt.
It was as if the world had been paused.
