Punishing Xining

Xie Xuanyi remembered his master had once said something.

"Under heaven, the Great Dao knows no left or right."

"All methods in the world know no high or low."

Cultivators in this world were as numerous as blades of grass, and the Daos they comprehended could not be counted. The Dao Fruits rising and sinking within the Great Dao River were vast and countless as ox hairs.

Only...

There were only so many top-tier "Daos" beneath heaven.

Creation and destruction, yin and yang, battle...

Such powerful Dao realms could be counted on two hands.

The "capacity" of the Great Dao River was ultimately limited. Once certain Dao Fruits had been plucked, they would never bear fruit again. Take the Lotus Revered One, for instance... Had she not died amid the Demon Race's siege and instead smoothly advanced into the Yang Spirit Realm, then Xie Xuanyi's attempt to "condense the Dao" would have become several times more difficult.

Two Dao Fruits of Annihilation had already been plucked.

One belonged to Luo Lie, and one to the Lotus Revered One.

For Xie Xuanyi to pluck a third... would naturally become even more difficult!

"The Dao of Annihilation has changed..."

Xie Xuanyi had not expected his Spirit Wandering to cause such a development.

This situation... was equivalent to the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao River being plucked first, then put back afterward.

"What would happen if I gave up condensing the Dao?"

Xie Xuanyi asked curiously.

"No one knows what would happen. But I
