Pangu's Power

"Indeed, Pangu's Power is formidable.

Even a mere wisp grants me the ability to crush opponents of the same level!"

Xuanqing's heart was far from calm; he too was astonished by the overwhelming nature of his own strength.

After Taiqing refined Xuanqing using fragments of his Primordial Spirit combined with blood from the Blood Pool in Pangu Hall, Xuanqing had awakened a terrifying power—one that seemed akin to Pangu splitting heaven and earth.

It bore a crushing momentum against all beings of the Primordial Wilderness; at the same level, anyone targeted by this power had no means to resist.

Because this power was awakened in a clone forged by Taiqing—one of Pangu's Primordial Spirits—using Pangu's blood, Xuanqing named it Pangu's Power.

Pangu's Power acted like a bloodline suppression; against any being of the Primordial Wilderness at the same cultivation level, it could dominate.

This was the conclusion Xuanqing had drawn while traveling toward the Eastern Continent.

When facing other beings, he only needed to will it to know whether Pangu's Power could successfully suppress them.

However, if truly compared, Xuanqing's Pangu's Power was billions of times weaker in essence than the genuine Pangu's Power.

Though this was his first time using Pangu's Power, Xuanqing wielded it with great familiarity.

He had already simulated its use countless times in his mind against other beings.

"Just as I sensed—it can only be used twice in a short period.

After using it, I must spend ten thousand years to recover.

Moreover, against opponents of the same level, it should only suppress them for three breaths!"

Xuanqing had stopped to wait for these Nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals not merely to show off, but to test Pangu's Power.

Now, he had fully grasped its mysteries and understood the state of his own accumulation.

Used well, Pangu's Power would undoubtedly be one of Xuanqing's most vital life-saving trump cards—or a card for turning the tables.

"I won't waste Pangu's Power on trash like you. You're useless now—time to die!"

Having probed all the information about Pangu's Power, Xuanqing wasted no more words.

Though he was at Early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he could still fight against Mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal experts.

The other Eight Venerables saw that the loudest among them had been suppressed by Xuanqing in a single exchange, and their hearts began to waver with thoughts of retreat.

What kind of monstrous Grand Unity Golden Immortal was this? An initial-stage cultivator instantly defeating a mid-stage one?

"No—!"

The Grand Unity Golden Immortal crushed in Xuanqing's hand let out a miserable, unwilling scream before Xuanqing directly exploded his head.

Not only that, Xuanqing unleashed a divine flame, burning his Physical Body to ashes.

He also scattered both his Primordial Spirit and true spirit.

With this complete process, he ensured the opponent was dead beyond any doubt.

"So brutal!"

Tai Yi shrank his neck, watching Xuanqing's full sequence with some fear.

This guy—directly killing, burning the corpse, and performing the rites—a one-stop service.

His practiced demeanor was pitiful to behold.

"Run, brothers!"

Someone shouted, and the remaining eight Grand Unity Golden Immortals scattered in all directions.

Xuanqing was simply too brutal; they had no confidence to face him.

None of them wanted to be the next being given Xuanqing's one-stop funeral service.

The Nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals, a temporary team, saw one die and the remaining eight flee in defeat.

From the moment the Nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals surrounded Xuanqing to the rout of the Eight Venerables, less than three breaths had passed.

Xuanqing did not pursue; he stayed where he was, waiting. Di Jun and Tai Yi would surely come to find him.

Besides, he had no desire to add to the slaughter and incur excessive karma.

Killing that instigating Grand Unity Golden Immortal to test his Pangu's Power was enough.

"Haha, Daoist Friend truly has remarkable skill.

We two brothers saw those Nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals gather and chase in your direction, and we were originally planning to come and assist you, Daoist Friend Xuanqing.

But we never expected you to be so powerful—nine Mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals working together

"...and you handled it with ease, truly opening our eyes."

Sure enough, Di Jun's hearty laughter soon came from behind.

His words were full of praise for Xuanqing.

Such a formidable man—Di Jun was determined to befriend and recruit him.

"I thank you for your kind intentions, Daoist Friends Di Jun and Tai Yi.

It was merely a small trouble; why would I need the two of you to intervene?

Poor Daoist only needed to defeat one, and the rest naturally crumbled—scattered sand."

In truth, Xuanqing sneered inwardly. Help him? They were more likely probing him, hoping to see him make a fool of himself.

If he had truly lost to the combined force of the Nine Grand Unity Golden Immortals, these two brothers, Di Jun and Tai Yi, would have been the first to seize his Lingbao.

Since he won, they could claim they were too late to help, and he would still owe them gratitude.

What a clever scheme.

But Xuanqing didn't expose them. He was merely playing along, biding his time. To infiltrate the Demon Race, he still needed their approval.

"You're too modest, Daoist Friend. We two brothers did nothing—only regret arriving a step too late.

Otherwise, we would have joined you to slay the remaining Eight Venerables as well."

Seeing that he had successfully curried favor, Di Jun wore a look of deep regret.

Xuanqing played along, performing alongside Di Jun and Tai Yi.

The two brothers were smug, thinking they had successfully recruited Xuanqing.

Little did they know, in Xuanqing's eyes, they were nothing but clowns.

With the Tail dealt with and the act with Di Jun and Tai Yi finished, Xuanqing wasted no time heading for the Eastern Continent.

He had no time to squander with those two here.

Every second he delayed, he feared Ancestor Reincarnation might be talked into a corner by Hongjun.

"Big Brother, did you figure out what power Xuanqing used?"

After Xuanqing left, Di Jun and Tai Yi remained. Tai Yi spoke gravely.

When they had approached Xuanqing, both brothers still felt a strong threat emanating from him.

This meant that Xuanqing's overwhelming, crushing power was not a one-time thing.

Their appearance and approach had been partly to determine whether that power was sustainable.

And partly to uncover what that power actually was.

"No. Xuanqing concealed that power very well.

I couldn't find a single trace of it.

Never mind. Since we've already made friendly overtures to Xuanqing, there will be plenty of chances to test him later.

For now, let us focus on traveling the Primordial Wilderness, seeking opportunities, and making more Daoist friends.

A man as mysterious and powerful as Xuanqing won't be easily won over."

Di Jun had no intention of chasing after Xuanqing. The two brothers had left the Sun Star mainly to explore the Primordial Wilderness and find opportunities.

Along the way, they would also meet powerful figures and recruit some underlings.

Giving up opportunities and more followers for Xuanqing's sake wasn't worth it.

"Big Brother, aren't those right here?

Those Eight Venerables may not be very strong, but they're good enough to serve as our underlings."
