Innate Demon God!
The Heavenly Dao was beginning to have doubts.
After all, as the sovereign ruler of the Primordial Wilderness, how could it fail to see through this?
Although this Qing Tian was an Innate Demon God, the aura he emitted was distinctly different.
That much was certain—Qing Tian's upper limit had been continuously breaking through, and the bloodline he bore was the purest lineage of Pangu.
"Trying to flee? Today, both of you will remain here."
"Open the Heavens!"
"..."
Qing Tian gripped the Pangu Axe with both hands, roared at heaven and earth, and swung it with all his might toward the place where Ancestor Hongjun stood.
"Hmph!"
"Do you truly believe I, Hongjun, am so easily bullied, Qing Tian?"
"Taiji World!"
"Subdue!"
Ancestor Hongjun naturally refused to show weakness. He did not believe Qing Tian could be all that powerful.
In an instant, a world of Taiji yin and yang appeared before Ancestor Hongjun.
Gazing at that Taiji World, Ancestor Hongjun smiled smugly—this was the strongest defensive world imaginable.
The Taiji Diagram possessed the power to divide yin and yang, and its offensive and defensive capabilities were both formidable.
Rumble!!
Boom!
But!!
What he encountered today was the Pangu Axe—their very progenitor. Though the Pangu Axe in Qing Tian's hands was merely an Innate Supreme Treasure at the moment, its true quality was that of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
Rumble!!
Boom!
With a single light swing of the axe, the Taiji World that Ancestor Hongjun had been so proud of instantly dissolved into nothingness.
"Impossible?" Ancestor Hongjun stared wide-eyed as his defense was effortlessly shattered.
Not good!
By the time Ancestor Hongjun reacted, the Pangu Axe's strike had already landed upon him.
Ah!
A scream tore from Ancestor Hongjun's throat as one of his arms was brutally severed by the Pangu Axe's attack.
Though a Golden Immortal of the Origin could regenerate from a single drop of blood, and a mere arm could be restored in the blink of an eye...
Under the overwhelming aura of the Pangu Axe, recovering that arm would be impossible without ten thousand years.
Ancestor Hongjun turned to look at Qing Tian, who held the Pangu Axe, his eyes filled with terror. All traces of arrogance were gone.
How terrifying—what kind of monster was this?
The Heavenly Dao watched Ancestor Hongjun, now missing an arm, and a trace of helplessness flickered in its eyes.
Was Ancestor Hongjun truly worth its investment?
It had already sent him a message to leave this place at once, yet this fool still dared to challenge Qing Tian—someone even it feared to some extent.
Ancestor Hongjun stared at his severed arm, the pain cutting deep into his soul.
Logically, at his level, even if his body were cut apart, he could easily restore it to its original state.
But just as Ancestor Hongjun prepared to regenerate his arm, he discovered a strange force blocking his recovery.
Terrifying!
Now Ancestor Hongjun truly understood the might of the 'Great Emperor Qing Tian,' who had crushed both the Divine Spirit and Ferocious Beast races.
No wonder both races feared him so deeply—he was this powerful.
So, without another thought, Ancestor Hongjun turned to leave this place with the Heavenly Dao.
"Not dead—truly worthy of being Hongjun."
Qing Tian looked at Ancestor Hongjun, who had survived his axe strike, and could not help but offer praise.
If any other living being had suffered that axe blow of his, they would have long since perished, body and soul destroyed. Losing just one arm would have been the least of their worries.
Shwoosh!!
In an instant.
A streak of aura burst forth from the Heavenly Dao's Eye and landed upon the already wounded Ancestor Hongjun.
"Trying to run? Then leave something behind." Qing Tian watched the fleeing Heavenly Dao and Ancestor Hongjun—there was no way he would let them both off so easily.
His gaze fell upon the Taiji Diagram, which Ancestor Hongjun had not yet had time to retrieve.
Ancestor Hongjun saw Qing Tian's eyes fixed on the Taiji Diagram he had yet to reclaim, and immediately guessed his intent.
"Not good—Heavenly Dao, act quickly. Qing Tian wants my Taiji Diagram."
After enduring that axe strike, Ancestor Hongjun's Mana had been completely drained. He was no match for Qing Tian in this state, so he could only plead for Heavenly Dao to intervene.
The Heavenly Dao's Eye looked at the Taiji Diagram not far away, understanding that this object would be of great use to the Primordial Wilderness in the future. Naturally, it did not wish to see it fall into Qing Tian's hands so easily.
Boom!
A surge of immense Heavenly Dao Power erupted from the Heavenly Dao's Eye, sweeping toward the Taiji Diagram.
"Hmph!"
"You think you can stop me? What a delusion."
"Get lost!"
Qing Tian roared with earth-shaking fury at the Heavenly Dao's Eye, which sought to hinder him from claiming the Taiji Diagram.
A vast wave of Mana exploded forth once more, and the Pangu Axe in his hand, as if sensing Qing Tian's rage, blazed with an intense aura.
Rumble!!
With the transformation of the Pangu Axe, the entire Buzhou Mountain was thrown into a powerful upheaval.
After all, the Pangu Axe was Pangu's Companion Spiritual Treasure. Now, situated within Buzhou Mountain—formed from Pangu's death—the lingering Pangu aura, sensing the presence of the Pangu Axe, naturally poured into it.
In an instant!!
A force of unparalleled might burst forth from Buzhou Mountain, pressing down upon the entire Primordial Wilderness.
"What has happened at Buzhou Mountain? Why is such a colossal aura surging into the Primordial Wilderness?"
The Three Great Ancestors immediately detected that the source of this trembling, world-shaking energy was none other than Buzhou Mountain, the heavenly pillar linking earth and sky.
Unfortunately, the powerful aura of Pangu shrouded Buzhou Mountain, and even they could not perceive what was happening within.
The lair of the ferocious beasts.
Shen Ni was also shaken by this mighty aura. His eyes seemed to pierce through time and land upon Buzhou Mountain.
The result was the same as Di Tian's—he could not enter.
Beyond the Chaos, an Azure Willow Tree took root. Sensing the aura emanating from Buzhou Mountain...
"How strange—why does that old fellow Hongjun's aura appear? Could it be that Hongjun caused this upheaval at Buzhou Mountain?"
An old man with flowing white hair, coiled around the willow tree, murmured softly.
Rumble!!
Regardless of what was happening outside the Primordial Wilderness.
Inside Buzhou Mountain, the scene was nothing short of spectacular.
The Heavenly Dao's Eye seemed to be split in two, as if slashed apart by some terrifying force.
Qing Tian's body was drenched in blood, clearly having suffered severe injuries as well.
The Heavenly Dao, cleaved in half, transmitted a thought to Hongjun: "Hongjun, take me and leave this place at once."
"Ah—yes!" Ancestor Hongjun snapped back from his shock upon hearing the Heavenly Dao's command.
That scene from moments ago was too horrifying. In that instant, Qing Tian was like Pangu reborn, his towering figure seared into Ancestor Hongjun's mind.
From now on, this image would likely become a nightmare for Ancestor Hongjun.
If he could not break free from this nightmare, breaking through to the Heavenly Dao realm would be impossible.
