The two stood facing each other from afar. The universe was utterly silent, save for the Dao tones emanating from their Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The Ancestral God was extremely tense. He transmitted his voice, saying, "A Ying, if it really comes to blows, I'm afraid you might not be able to withstand even one move from him!"
Xu Ying smiled faintly. "Don't worry. He values his life more than I do, so he won't dare make a move. He's also afraid that I'll withstand one of his moves, kill my way back into the past, and hack him apart!"
If he could withstand one move from Dao Master Luo, that meant he could withstand the fluctuations of Dao Master Luo's Great Dao. If Xu Ying then returned to the past and unleashed the Immortal Slaying Sword Finger, he would not merely paralyze Dao Master Luo—he could take his life!
Thus, Xu Ying was certain that Dao Master Luo would not take such a risk!
Likewise, Dao Master Luo's displayed strength was simply too formidable, and Xu Ying was unwilling to take that risk either.
Under such circumstances, taking one step back on each side was the best choice for both of them.
Dao Master Luo's eyes flickered. He took one step back. Xu Ying was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt his hair stand on end. Without a second thought, he activated the Nirvana Azure Sky Lamp!
The Nirvana Heavenly Fire within the lamp surged, and the Nirvana Great Dao that incinerated the myriad Daos and extinguished all things erupted!
At the same time, the Chaos Lotus beneath his feet also bloomed with a hum, layer upon layer of Primordial Chaos Qi radiating outward and swirling around Xu Ying!
