Da Yi spun around with lightning speed, without the slightest hesitation.
Retreat!
What shame of dying in battle?
What failure of the mission?
Before the overwhelming terror that could overturn the fate of the entire Witch Race, such things were utterly insignificant!
He had to return!
He had to bring this news back to Pangu Hall immediately!
Golden Crows could undergo Nirvana!
And after Nirvana, they became monstrous beings at the Absolute Peak, possessing both the supreme Great Dao of the Sun and terrifying physical might!
This had surpassed his understanding of "Nirvana Rebirth." This was simply a fatal joke the Heavenly Dao had played on the Witch Race!
He had to leave alive and bring back this intelligence concerning the survival of the Witch Race!
Any hesitation would be a betrayal of the Pangu bloodline!
"Trying to leave now? Too late!"
Lu Jun's voice rang out again.
He moved!
Like a falling star.
Like a blazing sun hanging over the heavens.
Like the collapse of the cosmos!
Like a Fierce Beast of the Prehistoric World setting forth.
The entire void twisted under the tearing force of intense heat and gravity, shattering inch by inch like fragile glass!
Violent gravity formed in an instant, tightly entangling all the Witch Race warriors trying to flee, including Da Yi!
"Argh!"
"I can't move!"
"Space... space is tearing us apart!"
The Witch Race warriors cried out in terror.
The physical strength they had always taken pride in seemed so pale and powerless before this terrifying might on the level of space itself!
Their bodies were pulled by invisible immense force, sliding uncontrollably toward the collapsing vortex that radiated destruction!
Da Yi bore the brunt of it!
Every step he took weighed as much as ten thousand jun!
The suction force from the center of that collapsing vortex nearly tore apart and devoured his body and primordial spirit together!
He frantically drove his witch power, his muscles bulging and veins throbbing as he tried to break free of the invisible shackles, yet his speed was forcibly slowed severalfold!
"Stay, Da Yi."
Lu Jun's voice remained calm, yet it carried the indifference of one who held life and death in his grasp.
"The score between us hasn't been settled yet."
His palm seemed to break through the boundaries of time and space, instantly enlarging in Da Yi's eyes!
"No—!"
Da Yi's eyes nearly split apart as he let out an unwilling roar!
He frantically mobilized the Great Luo witch power within him, trying to break free from the terrifying gravitational pull of the spatial collapse.
The Sun-Shooting Bow in his hand erupted with a dazzling, ghostly blue chill, and he even tried to draw the bow and nock an arrow again!
Even without the Sun-Shooting Arrow, he still had the Sun-Shooting Bow!
However, before an absolute gap in power, all resistance appeared so feeble and laughable!
"Pfft!"
Like seizing a moth drawn to flame, Lu Jun precisely and coldly clutched Da Yi by the throat!
"Urgh!"
Terrifying force surged from that palm, instantly suppressing all his struggles, all his witch power, and all his rage!
The strength he had always been proud of was as tiny as dust before the opponent's seemingly Ancestral Witch-level Body!
Humiliation!
Despair!
Powerlessness!
Da Yi's eyes were bloodshot with extreme fury and unwillingness.
But deeper still was the helplessness of being unable to shake his opponent.
Like prey nailed to a chopping board, he could only watch helplessly as he fell under the other's control.
Lu Jun felt the struggling force coming from his palm. That strength stood among the very best even among Grand Unity Golden Immortals, enough to shake mountains.
Yet before his current physical body, it was like an ant trying to topple a tree.
A powerful feeling of controlling everything, originating from the depths of his bloodline, rose within him and nearly intoxicated him.
Yet beneath the flames of excitement, a trace of icy worry quietly raised its head like a venomous snake.
"Grand Unity Immortal... in the end, I'm only a Grand Unity Immortal..."
The voice of reason reminded him.
He could crush Da Yi because of this terrifying post-Nirvana body comparable to an Ancestral Witch, through absolute suppression at the level of pure power.
But what about the Ancestral Witches?
Those peak beings who had lived through countless Eons and wielded the origin laws of heaven and earth?
Zhu Rong! Gong Gong! Di Jiang! Xuanming!
Not only did they possess True Bodies of the Ancestral Witch that did not pale before, and might even surpass, his current physical body.
More terrifyingly, they held ultimate control over Great Daos such as fire, water, space, and ice!
That was supreme power capable of changing heaven and earth, of redefining Earth, Water, Fire, Wind!
It was absolutely not something his current "shell," possessing only brute force while his comprehension of the Great Dao remained at the Grand Unity Immortal level, could contend with!
If an Ancestral Witch arrived right now...
The thought was like a bucket of ice water over his head, instantly cooling his boiling blood somewhat.
It was time to leave!
His gaze swept over the ordinary Witch Race warriors in the distance, still struggling and wailing within the spatial-collapse vortex like lambs awaiting slaughter.
Then it swept over the eight Star Eggs in the nest, each radiating faint signs of life.
He could not take all of them away at once now, especially Big Brother and Second Brother. Each Star Egg formed from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was terrifying beyond measure.
"Forget it, let's get out of here!"
But at that moment, an enraged roar rang out:
"Bastard Witch Race, you dare kill my nephew!"
