"Big Brother, could the Great Dao have heard what you said?"
The Chaos Demon Ape shuddered and quickly moved to stand beside Lin Tian.
Though he was rash and disliked thinking, he still had to know when to cower before the Great Dao.
"Be careful, Fellow Daoist Lin Tian."
Yang Mei frowned. Laws swirled around him as he prepared for battle.
"So what if it is the Great Dao? I, Pangu, no longer believe in the Great Dao. I believe only in the Sky-Opening Axe in my hand."
Pangu laughed boldly, showing no fear of the Great Dao.
Lin Tian sneered, Chaos Sword in hand and the Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus beneath his feet. Pointing at the void, he said, "Great Dao, if you have the ability, then come!"
Yet the Great Dao did not attack Lin Tian directly, as though it feared something.
Only divine thunder rumbled through the void, as if venting its fury.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Lin Tian burst into laughter.
So what if it was the Great Dao?
Today, he, Lin Tian, would contend with the Great Dao.
So what if he was reduced to dust and ashes?
The many Chaos Demon Gods stared blankly into the sky, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Faced with Lin Tian's utterly arrogant provocation, the Great Dao actually dared not strike directly?
Was this still the supreme Great Dao?
Was this still the incomparably majestic Great Dao?
At that moment, every Chaos Demon God began to waver in their beliefs.
This was the Great Dao they had always worshipped!
Just then.
The void changed once more.
Countless beams of blood-red light suddenly appeared.
They continuously gathered above everyone, growing larger and larger.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Lin Tian sensed an unusual aura within them and could not help warning the others.
Pangu, Yang Mei, and the Chaos Demon Ape sensed it as well.
They all drew their weapons, ready to face the Great Dao's attack.
"Then let me see just how formidable the Great Dao is!"
"Fight!"
Seeing this, the many Chaos Demon Gods believed that the Great Dao had finally attacked them.
"O supreme Great Dao, teach these disobedient beings a proper lesson!"
"See? This is the price of angering the Great Dao!"
"Hahaha!"
All the Chaos Demon Gods cheered.
The Great Dao had made its move. Pangu and the others were doomed!
More and more blood-red light filled the sky, enveloping everyone within it.
Just then.
All those blood-red rays descended and entered every Demon God except Pangu and Lin Tian.
Yang Mei and the Chaos Demon Ape were included.
"What is this?"
"My... my consciousness... is about to be taken over..."
"Save... save... save me..."
For a time, anguished cries filled the area.
The weaker Demon Gods had no strength to resist. After struggling a few times, they went still, closed their eyes, and stood there motionless.
Some of the stronger Demon Gods were still circulating their power to resist.
"What is the Great Dao trying to do...?"
Those blood-red rays seemed to possess consciousness. Step by step, they sought to seize their minds and control them.
"What is going on?"
Lin Tian saw that the many Demon Gods were acting strangely and felt confused.
He turned to see that the Chaos Demon Ape and Yang Mei had also been struck.
Only he and Pangu were unharmed.
"Big Brother, my... my consciousness... seems about to be taken over by some mysterious and powerful force..."
The Chaos Demon Ape clutched his head tightly, his face twisted in unbearable pain as low growls continuously escaped his throat.
His already enormous head was now bulging with veins, as though countless tiny insects were frantically gnawing at his nerves within.
While enduring this indescribable agony, the Chaos Demon Ape desperately hammered his own head with both hands.
Once, twice, three times... Each blow used every ounce of his strength.
He hoped to drive out the force trying to erode his consciousness and regain his clarity.
Yet no matter how hard he tried, that force clung to him like a shadow, continuously spreading deeper into his mind.
At the same time, Yang Mei was struggling bitterly nearby.
His body trembled constantly, veins standing out across his face, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his head with difficulty. "Fellow Daoist Lin Tian, this is bad! The Great Dao intends to use us against you and Fellow Daoist Pangu, and... and I can sense that it is gradually descending!!!"
"Little Ape? Fellow Daoist Yang Mei?"
Lin Tian grew anxious. He could not understand what trick the Great Dao was playing.
With the Chaos Sword in hand, he fired dozens of sword lights into the sky, but they vanished as though swallowed by a swamp, without the slightest effect.
Seeing this, Pangu frowned. He turned to Lin Tian in confusion and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin Tian, what exactly is happening? What does this so-called 'descent' mean?"
Lin Tian did not immediately answer Pangu's question. Instead, he first calmly observed their surroundings.
Lin Tian drew a deep breath, then said to Pangu with a grave expression, "It seems the Great Dao is unwilling to let us go like this. It intends to descend personally and erase us completely!"
At that moment, after all the blood-red light in the sky had entered the bodies of those Chaos Demon Gods, none of them struggled any longer.
Before long, all the Chaos Demon Gods enveloped by the blood-red light closed their eyes and stood quietly in place.
Blood-red auras also radiated from their bodies, making them look exceedingly strange.
Suddenly.
All the Demon Gods enveloped by the blood-red light opened their eyes at once, but every pair of eyes had turned blood-red.
They stared fixedly at Lin Tian and Pangu, speaking in unison, "Anomalies must be slain! Anomalies must be slain!"
The sight was terrifying!
Lin Tian sneered, his aura surging. Faced with such a bizarre scene, he showed not the slightest fear.
Then he said in a deep voice, "Heh! Great Dao? Why do you not dare show your true form? You have to control other people's bodies instead? How pitiful!"
Lin Tian paused, then continued, "Anomaly? I said it from the very beginning: existence is reasonable. Or does anyone who refuses to submit to you count as an Anomaly? Is that what you mean?"
The Great Dao did not speak. It merely watched Lin Tian.
It had controlled all the Chaos Demon Gods, so even Lin Tian did not dare lower his guard.
After all, the Great Dao had reached the Great Dao realm!
Its power was truly terrifying!
Pangu gripped the Sky-Opening Axe and roared at the Great Dao, "Great Dao, either I open the heavens and prove my Dao today, or we fight here and now!"
The Great Dao stared at Pangu without answering. Instead, it slowly uttered a single word: "Kill!!!"
"Then fight!"
Lin Tian and Pangu exchanged a glance, and both saw the will to fight in the other's eyes.
Fight until death!!!
