The Great Dao Manifests!

This time, the Great Dao no longer had the strength to resurrect them.

Divine thunder rumbled incessantly in the void.

It was as if the Great Dao was roaring, was enraged.

After killing these several hundred Demon Gods, Pangu did not stop.

With a single teleport, he charged straight back into the midst of the Demon Gods, beginning indiscriminate slaughter.

In a short time, Pangu used the power of the Great Dao to kill all the controlled Demon Gods.

Their bodies shattered into fragments, all absorbed into the Nascent World.

However, some of the Demon Gods' remnant Primordial Spirits were sucked into the void and vanished from sight.

Pangu naturally noticed this, but he only glanced at them and did not act.

It was simply because his strength had already been depleted too much.

The power of the Great Dao was about to disappear.

Such an overloaded battle was too much even for Pangu to bear.

"What a pity."

Lin Tian also saw those fleeing remnant Primordial Spirits but paid them no mind.

In the future, they would meet again in the Primordial Wilderness.

On the other side.

The Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron emitted a dazzling light, then flew back into Lin Tian's hand.

"Thank you, Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron."

Lin Tian gently stroked the cauldron's body, and the cauldron hummed in response.

With a thought, Lin Tian withdrew the Supreme Cauldron.

At this moment, Pangu collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

He gasped for breath, his whole body weak, barely able to hold the Sky-Opening Axe.

"Daoist Brother Pangu, how are you?"

Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly went over to support him and asked about Pangu's condition.

Pangu smiled. "No trouble, just a great loss of magical power."

Though he said this, Pangu's pale face showed that he had consumed too much of his essence blood.

At that moment.

Yang Mei and the Chaos Demon Ape awakened.

"What is this?"

"Ol' me is still alive?"

The two looked around and found no trace of the other Chaos Demon Gods.

"Big Brother, where are those Demon Gods?"

"That's right, Daoist Lin Tian, Daoist Pangu, I only remember a burst of pain, and then nothing after that."

Lin Tian used the Chaos Eye and saw that there was no Blood Energy on them, meaning the Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron had already healed them and freed them from the Great Dao's control.

He then told them the whole story from beginning to end.

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at Pangu with profound respect.

"Daoist Brother Pangu, I am not your equal."

Yang Mei sighed.

He had never imagined that a Chaos Demon God born last could reach such a terrifying level of strength.

It truly made him feel ashamed.

He had always believed in going with the flow and letting the Dao take its course.

That was why his strength had only reached the late Chaos Realm.

The Chaos Demon Ape beside him gave Pangu a thumbs up—a gesture he had learned from Lin Tian.

"Daoist Brother Pangu, you're the second living being I admire, after my Big Brother."

Hearing this, Pangu burst into laughter.

After resting for a moment, his strength recovered somewhat.

"Is that so? Daoist Demon Ape, then what does this old Daoist count as?"

Yang Mei suddenly asked the Chaos Demon Ape this question out of the blue.

It left the Chaos Demon Ape extremely embarrassed, and he could only scratch his head and look at Lin Tian for help.

Lin Tian paid him no mind. He said it himself, so he had to own it.

Seeing this, everyone started laughing.

Just then.

Thunder roared through the Chaos Void, and Chaos Qi churned violently.

The Eye of the Great Dao appeared.

"Everyone, be careful."

Lin Tian saw this and quickly called for everyone's attention.

The Eye of the Great Dao gave them all a deep look.

Then it vanished without a trace.

Suddenly, purple light descended beneath it, and a figure slowly materialized.

Everyone was astonished. Who was this?

Could it be the Great Dao?

They had never seen the Great Dao's true form before.

"Since things have come to this, I have no choice but to set aside the rules. Blame yourselves—for not revering the Great Dao, for being arrogant and conceited. You will all die."

As the purple light gradually faded, the figure slowly took shape.

When everyone saw the newcomer's face, they were stunned, for it bore Lin Tian's likeness.

"Big brother?"

"It looks like Fellow Daoist Lin Tian?"

"Why is it appearing in Fellow Daoist Lin Tian's form?"

Everyone was extremely surprised and utterly confused.

Rules? What rules?

Did that mean the Great Dao also had some kind of restriction?

"Great Dao, what trick are you playing?"

Lin Tian stepped forward and demanded loudly.

The Great Dao then opened its eyes. Those eyes contained all things—if one met their gaze, they might inadvertently fall into them.

An indescribable aura radiated from its body.

"I am the Great Dao, the supreme existence. Submit to Me, and you shall endure forever!"

The Great Dao did not answer Lin Tian's question. Instead, it raised its hands and spoke as if to itself.

"Bullshit Great Dao! I've never acknowledged you as the Great Dao! Selfish and petty, you're not worthy of being the Great Dao!!!"

The Chaos Demon Ape couldn't stand the Great Dao's behavior. Seeing it so arrogant, he immediately cursed back.

"Hm?"

The Great Dao raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of anger appearing on its face. Someone actually dared to question it.

A vast, overwhelming aura erupted from within its body like a volcanic explosion, instantly sweeping across heaven and earth.

It lightly raised its right hand, fingers slightly spread, and a dazzling energy ball materialized in its palm.

This energy ball contained endless destructive power. The moment it appeared, the surrounding void seemed unable to bear its pressure, warping and distorting.

The Great Dao swung its arm, and the energy ball shot toward the nearby Chaos Demon Ape like lightning.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out, piercing the eardrums.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone present could even react, the Chaos Demon Ape had already been struck.

His mountain-like body flew backward like a cannonball, vanishing beyond the horizon tens of thousands of miles away in an instant.

"This... how is this possible? I didn't even have time to react?"

Lin Tian's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He stared blankly in the direction the Chaos Demon Ape had disappeared, shockwaves surging in his heart.

He was at the peak of the Chaos Realm, yet even he hadn't been able to see the Great Dao's move clearly. Before he could react, the Chaos Demon Ape had been sent flying.

This was truly hard for him to accept.

Yang Mei, standing nearby, was also shaken. Watching the Great Dao's calm and composed demeanor, a wave of dread rose in his heart.

The Great Dao's strength was utterly unfathomable. Facing such an opponent, they probably had no chance to fight back at all!

Were they really just going to sit and wait for death?

Thinking this, Yang Mei's expression grew even more grim.

Just then, the Great Dao's cold, emotionless voice slowly rang out: "Beneath the Great Dao, all are ants!"

Though the words were not loud, the supreme authority they carried echoed like a great bell through the entire Chaos World, reverberating endlessly.

Pangu gripped the Sky-Opening Axe and roared, "What ants? I don't accept that! That's just what you say! My fate—I decide it myself!"

Pangu didn't care about any Great Dao. Today, he would make the Great Dao see what right it had to judge them.

The Chaos Demon Ape also flew back, his face twisted with anger. "Damn it, Great Dao! You have no martial honor, sneaking an attack on me!"

The Great Dao remained expressionless, its eyes full of disdain, not deigning to regard them at all.

"Everyone, attack together!"
