At this point, they had no choice but to fight to the death.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, are you afraid?"
Lin Tian looked at Yang Mei beside him and could not help asking.
"Afraid? Why would you say that, Fellow Daoist Lin Tian? Heh, to be able to battle the legendary Great Dao—even if I die, it will have been worth it."
Yang Mei was right.
After cultivating through countless epochs, only now did he understand the meaning of cultivation.
The Dao followed the heart; wherever the heart yearned, there lay the Dao.
"Hahaha, well said, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei! Once this is over, I'll drink with all of you again until none of us can stand!"
Pangu was even less concerned.
Right now, he had only one wish: to push himself to the utmost limit and fight the Great Dao with every ounce of his strength.
Even if he lost, it would be no great matter.
Lin Tian gave them a deep look. Everything was left unspoken.
The Chaos Demon Ape, standing nearby, grinned foolishly. "Hey, big brother, don't look at me. To be honest, I want to see just what level the Great Dao has reached too."
His expression was thoroughly comical.
Lin Tian could not help laughing, but his expression soon turned solemn as he stared at the Great Dao.
"Great Dao, fuck your mother!!!"
Along with that furious roar, dazzling bloody light suddenly erupted from Lin Tian's body. Like fiercely burning flames, it spread madly outward.
His aura also rose steadily at that moment, as though it had no end.
At that moment, Lin Tian was recklessly burning the blood essence within his body.
Only by doing so could he gain greater power in a short time and stand even the slightest chance against the lofty, arrogant Great Dao.
The others who witnessed this immediately shouted as well, without the slightest hesitation.
In an instant, dense crimson light burst forth from their bodies too, and each of them radiated a terrifying aura that made hearts tremble.
There was no doubt that, like Lin Tian, they had chosen the desperate path of burning their blood essence.
Clearly, they had already cast life and death aside, determined to fight the Great Dao to the end.
Yet in the face of their resolve, the Great Dao merely snorted coldly. "Hmph! A bunch of overconfident ants actually dare to shake a great tree? How utterly ridiculous!"
With a single glance, it saw through their condition.
In its eyes, aside from Pangu, who was somewhat troublesome, none of the others were worth mentioning.
After all, the power possessed by the Great Dao far exceeded anything they could imagine.
Even though Pangu now possessed the strength of the Great Dao, he was still lacking in comparison to it.
Immediately afterward, the Great Dao's figure flashed, appearing before them in the blink of an eye.
Before anyone could react, all four of them, including Lin Tian, attacked almost simultaneously, launching fierce assaults at the Great Dao without mercy.
Pangu swung the incomparably powerful Sky-Opening Axe. Countless arcs of axe light tore through the void like lightning, carrying world-destroying power as they cleaved straight toward the Great Dao.
Every swing seemed capable of splitting the entire world in two.
At the same time, Lin Tian tightly gripped the Chaos Sword, its blade gleaming with mysterious Chaos light.
He moved as swiftly as a gale, his sword shadows like bolts of lightning as they stabbed toward the Great Dao with blinding speed.
On the other side, the Chaos Demon Ape gripped the Sky-Propping Staff in both hands and swung it so rapidly that not even water could pass through.
Every strike carried enough force to shatter Qiankun as it smashed viciously toward the Great Dao.
Yang Mei's face turned grave as he slowly extended his right hand toward the void, his gaze utterly focused.
In an instant, dazzling green light burst from the void. Then, a crystalline emerald scepter appeared in his hand.
The scepter radiated a heart-palpitating aura. It was Yang Mei's natal Spiritual Treasure—the Chaos Supreme Spiritual Treasure, the Space Scepter!
It was the first time Yang Mei had used his natal Spiritual Treasure before everyone.
In the past, he had always fought using the power of laws. Clearly, when facing the Great Dao, he did not dare be careless in the slightest.
Holding the Space Scepter, Yang Mei lightly moved his arm, tracing mysterious and profound spatial paths through the air.
Like agile serpents, those paths intertwined and coiled around one another, swiftly forming a complex and exquisite spatial cage in an attempt to trap the Great Dao within.
However, the Great Dao merely snorted coldly, seemingly dismissive of Yang Mei's methods.
With a casual wave of its hands, an incomparably sturdy barrier abruptly appeared.
The barrier shimmered with strange light and effortlessly blocked Pangu's unmatched axe strike.
At the same time, the Great Dao flashed aside like a ghost, evading Lin Tian's fierce sword thrust. Then it followed up with a flying kick aimed viciously at the Chaos Demon Ape.
With a thunderous bang, the Chaos Demon Ape was kicked away and crashed heavily onto the distant ground.
However, the Great Dao's counterattack did not instill fear in these four powerful experts.
They exchanged glances, conveying unwavering conviction and fearless courage to one another.
Then, without hesitation, the four charged forward once more, launching an even fiercer round of attacks against the Great Dao.
A trace of violent fury flashed through Lin Tian's eyes.
He suddenly threw the Chaos Sword high into the air. Driven by his mana, the Chaos Sword instantly expanded to an enormous size, and the runes upon its blade began to shine with dazzling light.
"Sword Breaks Chaos!"
A terrifying aura capable of destroying heaven and earth surged from the Chaos Sword, rushing directly toward the Great Dao with unrivaled might.
On the other side, Pangu also swung the Sky-Opening Axe in his hands with all his strength.
"Nine Forms of Sky-Opening!"
The enormous axe spun rapidly in his hands like a windmill, bringing forth gusts of howling wind.
Its axe light blotted out the sky, as though it intended to split heaven and earth in two.
The Chaos Demon Ape threw back his head and roared, his deafening howl resounding through the clouds.
He gripped the Sky-Propping Staff tightly in both hands, every muscle in his body tensed as he gathered all his strength into the staff.
"Riftbreaker!"
In an instant, the Sky-Propping Staff erupted with brilliant radiance, like a blazing sun shining overhead.
Yang Mei, meanwhile, did not dare hold anything back. He poured all the power within his body into the Space Scepter without reservation.
For a time, spatial power surged like raging waves, wildly wrapping around the Great Dao's body in an attempt to restrict its movements.
The Great Dao remained expressionless as immense mana poured forth, and it still handled the attacks of all four with ease.
"Is that all you've got?"
