How could this be?
How could this living being have the Pangu Axe in his hands?
The Heavenly Dao governed the Primordial Wilderness and naturally knew countless Innate Treasures like the back of its hand. But hadn't the Pangu Axe already been shattered long ago?
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao knew the exact locations of the several treasures it had shattered.
An anomaly!!
This living being was a major anomaly. He had to be eliminated.
The Heavenly Dao's Eye gazed at Qing Tian, who held the Pangu Axe. At first, it might have wanted Qing Tian to become its spokesperson and govern the world on its behalf.
But after seeing this scene, the Heavenly Dao knew that it had to eliminate this living being. Otherwise, he would inevitably threaten the development of the Primordial Wilderness in the future, which would naturally be detrimental to it.*
The Heavenly Dao wanted to eliminate Qing Tian, and Qing Tian likewise wanted to slaughter the Heavenly Dao.
Slaughtering the Heavenly Dao—this was an unprecedented feat!
Although!
The Heavenly Dao's Eye was only one of the Heavenly Dao's clones, it still counted as part of the Heavenly Dao.
Just thinking about it was exciting.
"Kill!"
"First Style of Heaven-Opening!"
"Open!"
Qing Tian tightened his grip on the Pangu Axe and swung it forcefully at the Heavenly Dao's Eye standing in the void.
Rip!
The axe strike was like opening the heavens, and a powerful aura descended upon the entire Buzhou Mountain.
Seeing the descending axe aura, the Heavenly Dao's Eye erupted with a burst of Seven-Colored Radiance. Its dazzling colors formed a natural barrier before it.
As the Supreme Heavenly Dao governing the Primordial Wilderness, the Three Thousand Laws came naturally to it. The powerful force of the laws transformed into a divine spear and descended.
Heavenly Dao Divine Spear!
This spear could kill any living being. If it were a divine spear condensed by the true Heavenly Dao, even a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal would perish.
What a pity!
This Heavenly Dao's Eye was only part of the true Heavenly Dao, so the strength it displayed was truly minuscule. Moreover, the Primordial Wilderness was still under the jurisdiction of the Great Dao.
"Break!"
"..."
Qing Tian looked at the descending Heavenly Dao Divine Spear. Relying on his powerful physical body, he surged upward against the current and brought the giant axe down again.
With a cracking sound!
The Heavenly Dao Divine Spear was split in two on the spot by the Pangu Axe and cleaved out of the void.
The Heavenly Dao's Eye was also astonished upon seeing this scene. If it had an expression, it would naturally have worn one of utter shock.
Then Qing Tian saw the Heavenly Dao's Eye suddenly flee.
He hadn't seen wrong!
Qing Tian watched as the Heavenly Dao's Eye vanished in an instant after he broke the Heavenly Dao Divine Spear.
What the hell was going on?
Qing Tian was also frustrated by this sudden turn of events. They had only fought halfway, yet it had quietly run away.
Qing Tian ignored whatever had caused the Heavenly Dao to suddenly flee and turned to look at the place where he had already opened a crack.
"Today, I want to see what this Heavenly Dao is trying to hide!"
Qing Tian tightened his grip on the Pangu Axe and swung it forcefully at the void once more.
Boom!
The powerful axe aura cleaved through the void. The already tottering crack could not possibly withstand such a powerful attack.
Bang!!
In an instant, the hidden void completely shattered. A purple radiance erupted from within, and a powerful aura slowly spread out.
What?
I never thought it would be him. No wonder the Heavenly Dao tried to stop me.
When Qing Tian saw the treasure revealed by the shattered crack, he finally understood why the Heavenly Dao had suddenly appeared to stop him.
It had all been because of this object.
Jade Butterfly of Creation!
At that moment, a jade butterfly several zhang in size appeared within the split void. However, the Jade Butterfly of Creation was incomplete, with only a large portion remaining.
The Jade Butterfly of Creation was an unparalleled sacred artifact of enlightenment. It contained records of the complete Three Thousand Great Daos and could be considered an existence on the level of a Supreme Treasure.
The Jade Butterfly of Creation consisted of three thousand jade fragments, with each one recording a method of one Great Dao.
If a destined person obtained even one fragment and comprehended it, they would certainly be able to break through to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. Even becoming the Supreme Dao would not be impossible.
The reason Dao Ancestor Hongjun would later become the teacher of the Primordial Wilderness was naturally that more than half of the fragments of the Jade Butterfly of Creation had fallen into his hands.
"Now I understand why the Heavenly Dao tried so desperately to stop me from shattering the crack. It even offered me the chance to become a Heavenly Dao Sage at the cost of anything. So it was all because of this object."
Qing Tian naturally understood the astonishing effects of the Jade Butterfly of Creation. The Heavenly Dao naturally could not allow another living being to obtain it. Only the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson appointed by the Heavenly Dao could acquire it.
That was also why only Dao Ancestor Hongjun had ever obtained the Jade Butterfly of Creation in the Primordial Wilderness.
After all, with a treasure like this, the Heavenly Dao naturally could not allow it to fall into the hands of another living being.
And Dao Ancestor Hongjun inherited the Heavenly Dao, so he was naturally already bound to it. The Heavenly Dao had no reason to fear Hongjun making any small moves.
Qing Tian dispersed his Dharma body and withdrew the Pangu Axe before descending to the ground. He raised his head and gazed at the Jade Butterfly of Creation shining with purple radiance.
"System, can this object be recycled?" Qing Tian suddenly asked. After all, the Jade Butterfly of Creation was a Chaos Supreme Treasure. Even though it had shattered into countless pieces during Pangu's Heaven-Opening, its grade still surpassed that of an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
"Ding!"
"Master, the energy contained in the Jade Butterfly of Creation is too powerful. The system is currently unable to absorb this object."
"Please upgrade to version 2.0, Master."
"..."
Upon hearing the system's response, Qing Tian had not expected the Jade Butterfly of Creation to be so powerful that even the system could not recycle it.
Wait?
What the hell was version .0?
Qing Tian asked in confusion.*
"This system has ten levels in total. It is currently at the initial level. At most, it can download ten targets, and sacrifices can only be items below the Innate Supreme Treasure level."
"Ten levels?"
"..."
Upon hearing the system's response, Qing Tian was naturally shocked. Such a powerful system was still only at its initial level.
"How does the system level up?" Qing Tian asked.
"Master, each time you recycle a Spiritual Treasure, you will gain upgrade progress. You are currently at three percent."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing the upgrade requirement given by the system, Qing Tian felt that it was far too difficult. Did this mean he had to sacrifice all the Innate Treasures in the Primordial Wilderness?
Forget it!
He would set the matter of upgrading the system aside for now. His priority was naturally to collect the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
Although the Jade Butterfly of Creation was not of much use to Shi Hao—after all, he did not need to cultivate and only had to download cultivation—why bother worrying about such things?
But he naturally could not leave a treasure like the Jade Butterfly of Creation unattended. Was he really supposed to leave it for Hongjun?
Dream on!!
Qing Tian extended one hand and prepared to pull the Jade Butterfly of Creation floating in the void over.
However.
Just then, an aura suddenly descended upon Buzhou Mountain and interrupted Qing Tian's movement.
