Today, he also wanted to test the legendary strength of Dao Ancestor Hongjun for himself.
"Damn it!"
"Qing Tian, how dare you look down on me like this? Today, I'll make you pay."
Ancestor Hongjun looked at Qing Tian's utterly indifferent expression, which showed no regard for him at all. After all, he was a Golden Immortal of the Origin at the Great Perfection.
In an era when no Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin had appeared, a Golden Immortal of the Origin at the Great Perfection was an invincible existence.
But now!
Qing Tian looked at Ancestor Hongjun as if he were an ant. How could this not enrage him?
"Haha!"
"Let's see if your strength matches your big talk."
Qing Tian laughed, and as he gazed at Ancestor Hongjun, a powerful aura burst forth from his entire body.
"You're asking for death!"
The whisk in Ancestor Hongjun's hand gently swept toward where Qing Tian stood. A surge of immense heavenly Mana transformed into countless threads that filled the surroundings.
The energy unleashed by each of these threads was enough to suppress a Golden Immortal of the Origin.
Qing Tian watched the threads closing in to shred him, showing no fear. He simply slammed his palm down against the void.
Boom!
The force of his palm directly tore apart the threads surrounding him.
Ancestor Hongjun saw Qing Tian easily break his technique, but he wasn't too surprised. If Qing Tian couldn't even shatter this move, then the title of Great Emperor Qing Tian would truly be worthless.
Boom!
Ancestor Hongjun waved his hand, and a treasure bearing the pattern of the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams appeared above his head.
A treasure!!
Qing Tian saw the treasure hovering above Ancestor Hongjun's head. If his guess was correct, this was the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram.
This was one of the few great supreme treasures of the Primordial Wilderness.
Legend had it that this object was created by the Great God Pangu during the Heaven-Opening.
And the weapon he used to open the heavens was the number one treasure of the Chaos, the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.
After the Great God Pangu opened the heavens, the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe had fulfilled its mission and split into four parts, transforming into three Innate Supreme Treasures.
Among them, the Number One Defensive Supreme Treasure was this Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram.
"Qing Tian, dying at the hands of the Taiji Diagram is your honor."
Ancestor Hongjun controlled the Taiji Diagram and shouted at Qing Tian.
If one were to ask who possessed the greatest treasures in the Primordial Wilderness, it would undoubtedly be Ancestor Hongjun.
The Taiji Diagram embodied the Yin-Yang and Eight Trigrams, possessing the power to evolve the heavens and earth.
After being swallowed by the Taiji Diagram, Qing Tian found himself seemingly trapped in a chaotic void, surrounded by unknown forces that drained his essence, energy, and spirit.
"No wonder it's a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure." Qing Tian felt the changes the Taiji Diagram was causing to his body and grew even more interested in this supreme treasure.
Outside, Ancestor Hongjun watched Qing Tian, now swallowed by the Taiji Diagram, and sneered, "Qing Tian, this time, I'll see if you don't die."
This Taiji Diagram was a supreme treasure he had discovered at Buzhou Mountain. It could evolve the heavens and earth, suppress all things, and contained a powerful devouring force. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin would be drained completely.
Thus, he was certain that Qing Tian was doomed this time.
Inside the Taiji Diagram, Qing Tian showed no concern for the loss of his Mana.
"World-Destroying Millstone!"
"Come forth!"
Qing Tian sneered. Did Ancestor Hongjun think he was the only one with treasures? Did This Emperor have none?
The World-Destroying Millstone was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, though its rank had now fallen to that of an Innate Supreme Treasure.
But when it came to destruction, it was second to none.
Boom!
In an instant, a massive millstone appeared within the Taiji Diagram, and an overwhelming aura of destruction swept through the entire diagram.
Outside, Ancestor Hongjun was still rejoicing, confident that Qing Tian, trapped in the Taiji Diagram, wouldn't last long.
But before the smile could fade from his face, his expression drastically changed.
Impossible?
As the master of the Taiji Diagram, Ancestor Hongjun naturally sensed the changes occurring within its world.
Boom!
Bang!!
Before he could react, the world laid out by the Taiji Diagram was shattered by an overwhelming aura of destruction.
Qing Tian stepped out from the cracked gap, holding the World-Destroying Millstone.
"Ancestor Hongjun, is this all you've got? Truly disappointing."
Qing Tian emerged from the Taiji Diagram, Millstone in hand, sneering.
Still, Qing Tian knew full well that Ancestor Hongjun had yet to unleash his true power.
"Hmph, this time I miscalculated," Ancestor Hongjun admitted, genuinely surprised that Qing Tian had broken his Taiji Diagram so quickly.
But just as Ancestor Hongjun prepared to launch a second strike—
"Heavenly Dao!"
"!!"
"..."
A thunderous roar erupted from Qing Tian's mouth, its vast aura enveloping the entire realm of Buzhou Mountain.
Even Ancestor Hongjun was shaken by the sudden roar, for within it he could clearly sense a power of immense magnitude.
"Damn it!!"
"Heavenly Dao!!!"
Qing Tian's face twisted with rage as his gaze fell upon where the Jade Butterfly of Creation had once been.
There should have been a massive jade butterfly, but now it was gone.
It turned out that while he and Ancestor Hongjun had been sparring, the Heavenly Dao had quietly made its move, seizing the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
What a cunning scheme.
No wonder!
Earlier, when Ancestor Hongjun struck, Qing Tian had sensed no trace of the Heavenly Dao—it had planned all along.
Ancestor Hongjun was merely bait, meant to lure Qing Tian in.
Qing Tian had thought the Heavenly Dao sought a fight, but its true goal was to steal the Jade Butterfly of Creation in secret.
The Heavenly Dao knew that even with its backing, Ancestor Hongjun could never defeat Qing Tian.
So from the start, it had used Ancestor Hongjun to quietly claim the butterfly.
Boom!
Having successfully seized the Jade Butterfly of Creation, the Heavenly Dao manifested in the sky and sent a message to Ancestor Hongjun.
"What? The Heavenly Dao!" Ancestor Hongjun was startled by the message in his mind, but the next one filled him with joy.
The Jade Butterfly of Creation was to be given to him, and he would become the Heavenly Dao's spokesperson.
Ancestor Hongjun felt happiness had come too suddenly.
He had only wanted the butterfly to comprehend the Supreme Dao, but now with the Heavenly Dao backing him, ruling the Primordial Wilderness was entirely within reach.
The Heavenly Dao's Eye watched Ancestor Hongjun, who lingered without leaving. If it had a human form, it would have slapped him.
For at this moment, the aura radiating from the enraged Qing Tian was so fearsome that even this Heavenly Dao Incarnation found it terrifying.
What kind of being was this Qing Tian?
