Ancestor Dragon's strength was beyond doubt; his power was earth-shaking.
An overwhelming tide of Gui Water Primordial Energy surged over, as if it would transform the land within hundreds of millions of miles into an Ocean King Sun!
Even the Southern Bright Li Fire that had burned ceaselessly atop Undying Mountain was suppressed until it flickered erratically.
After that strike, Ancestor Dragon's expression turned solemn.
He had thought that personally taking action would make capturing Qing Tian as easy as raising a hand, but he had never expected Qing Tian's strength to far exceed his expectations.
For a moment, Ancestor Dragon found Qing Tian somewhat difficult to deal with, and put away his contempt.
Standing in the void, he clenched his hand fiercely, and a pearl shimmering with dreamlike, glazed radiance appeared.
Ancestor Dragon's companion supreme treasure: the Ancestor Dragon Pearl!
As his magical power surged, the Ancestor Dragon Pearl flashed with brilliant light, transforming into an emerald sea beneath an endless sky.
In the next instant, an overwhelming aura swept over, like furious waves rolling and a tsunami boiling.
It could destroy heaven and earth, leaving not the slightest chance of survival.
The Gui Water Essence instantly filled every direction, making it impossible to distinguish east from west, north from south, as everything became disorienting and inverted within it.
Qing Tian stood amid it all as the Taiji Diagram continuously expanded, transforming into a golden bridge that fixed all the water vapor in place.
The Taiji Diagram.
An Innate Supreme Treasure!
It had originally belonged to Hongjun, who later bestowed it upon Taiqing.
It could not only transform into a world to trap enemies, but also possessed astonishing defensive power and could stabilize water, fire, earth, and wind.
Ancestor Dragon's methods were perfectly countered by the Taiji Diagram!
Qing Tian stood atop the golden bridge, calmly gazing at Ancestor Dragon, who was stirring up wind and waves. His expression was utterly composed.
"Roar!"
Ancestor Dragon let out a long roar and charged over amid wind and rain, dense lightning accompanying him. In an instant, he rushed before Qing Tian, thrust out his left hand, and transformed it into a several-thousand-zhang-long, savage Chaos Dragon Claw that fiercely swiped down.
"Come!"
A cold glint flashed in Qing Tian's eyes.
Boom!
The heavens collapsed and the earth split!
A destructive aura surged out and spread in every direction.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Countless watching creatures instantly spat blood under the impact of that terrifying aura.
Those with weaker cultivation even perished on the spot, their bodies and souls destroyed.
Phoenix Ancestor and Shi Qilin exchanged a glance, their gazes unusually solemn.
Without time to investigate further, they joined forces and unleashed earth-shaking techniques, blocking the destructive baleful aura.
"What exactly is this? It makes me feel as if the apocalypse has arrived and I'm about to undergo an Immeasurable Calamity."
Phoenix Ancestor still felt shaken as she gazed at the vast emerald waves in the distance and spoke uneasily.
Shi Qilin nodded and said cautiously, "It should be a technique of that Dao Venerable Qing Tian. You and I are familiar with Ancestor Dragon. If he truly possessed such a technique, he certainly wouldn't have hidden it until now!"
"Put that way, it's actually a good thing. That old dragon has always been arrogant and conceited. Relying on the boundless Four Seas King Sun and his countless aquatic tribes, he never takes you or me seriously and has always sought to lay claim to the Primordial Wilderness. If we can heavily injure Ancestor Dragon today by borrowing Dao Venerable Qing Tian's power..."
Phoenix Ancestor trailed off, but her meaning was already perfectly clear.
The Primordial Wilderness was currently dominated by the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans, collectively known as the Three Innate Races.
Among them, the Dragon Clan was the most arrogant and conceited, wanting to unify the Primordial Wilderness.
Although the great calamity had yet to begin, some signs had already appeared, and friction between the Three Races continued unabated.
How could Phoenix Ancestor and Shi Qilin, such figures as they were, fail to see the hidden signs?
Given Ancestor Dragon's personality and the Dragon Clan's arrogance, invading the Primordial Wilderness was only a matter of time.
"It's too early to speak of this. Ancestor Dragon's strength is extraordinary, and he has numerous life-preserving methods. You and I should not get involved."
Shi Qilin shook his head.
He was cautious and steady, and would not do anything without certainty.
Becoming enemies with Ancestor Dragon was equivalent to risking the future of the entire Kirin Clan, so he had no choice but to be prudent.
Phoenix Ancestor was not surprised either. She nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the two combatants, no one knowing what she was thinking.
The World-Destroying Millstone appeared, and monstrous baleful aura condensed into countless sword rays. They whistled through the void, weaving into a great net that enveloped Ancestor Dragon's claw.
At the same time, Qing Tian took one step forward. The space beneath his feet contracted, and in a single step, the distance between them became the ends of the earth. Like shrinking the ground into inches, he instantly arrived behind Ancestor Dragon and struck down with one palm.
Heaven Shattering Palm!
The void silently shattered, cracking like a spiderweb. A terrifying black hole appeared in an instant, and a deathly, freezing wind howled out, capable of scattering the flame of a soul.
Strangely, Ancestor Dragon did not sense any of this. His entire mind was focused on resisting the World-Destroying Millstone, and he had no idea Qing Tian had already arrived behind him.
When Phoenix Ancestor saw this, her heart instantly tightened, and intense astonishment surged through her.
The scene was too strange.
The void had clearly shattered, a black hole had appeared, and everything was being swallowed and destroyed in a terrifying spectacle, yet Ancestor Dragon could not sense it at all.
In other words, Qing Tian's use of this technique had already reached perfection. He could flawlessly control every energy fluctuation without releasing the slightest trace.
The Heaven Shattering Palm was originally one of Pangu's ultimate techniques. Once cultivated to the extreme, a single palm could destroy an entire Great Thousand World, making its might terrifying beyond measure.
Using it for a surprise assassination at this moment was perfectly suited.
Finally, Ancestor Dragon sensed that something was wrong. The Ancestor Dragon Pearl suddenly flashed into view, rippling with boundless light and blocking Qing Tian's palm.
"Bastard, how dare you!"
Ancestor Dragon came to his senses, both shocked and furious. He roared, then swiftly retreated, putting distance between himself and Qing Tian.
"Trying to leave? Not so easy!"
Qing Tian sneered. His five fingers suddenly exerted force, and a vast suction force erupted from them, firmly seizing the Ancestor Dragon Pearl.
This was Ancestor Dragon's companion treasure. It was not an Innate Spiritual Treasure, yet it surpassed one. Once sacrificed, it would certainly yield immense benefits.
Ancestor Dragon's gaze sharpened, and he thought, This is bad.
"Roar!"
In his urgency, he could no longer afford to hold back.
A dragon's roar rang out. Ancestor Dragon's body rapidly expanded, transforming into something hundreds of thousands of zhang long. His eyes were like the sun and moon sharing the heavens, radiating dazzling light. Every scale on his body contained mysterious radiance, and he coiled through the void like a mountain range of chaos.
Ancestor Dragon True Form!
Revealing his true form meant Ancestor Dragon was about to get serious.
His vast magical power erupted in an instant and reached toward the Ancestor Dragon Pearl.
He had already seen through Qing Tian's intentions, so naturally he would not give him the opportunity.
The Ancestor Dragon Pearl was a treasured possession of the Dragon Clan and could suppress Destiny. It absolutely could not be lost.
A glint flashed through Qing Tian's eyes. The golden bridge beneath his feet stretched out and transformed back into the Taiji Diagram, wrapping toward Ancestor Dragon.
Yin-Yang Qi filled the Taiji Diagram and surged continuously through the void like a Heavenly Abyss, firmly blocking Ancestor Dragon.
Qing Tian took advantage of this opportunity to seize the Ancestor Dragon Pearl by force.
Realizing Qing Tian's intentions, Ancestor Dragon was startled, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes.
His enormous dragon body shot into the sky and continued expanding. His terrifying claw tore through the void and descended toward the Taiji Diagram.
His idea was simple.
Since Qing Tian wanted to take his Ancestor Dragon Pearl, he would take the Taiji Diagram.
Exchanging the Ancestor Dragon Pearl for an Innate Supreme Treasure was not a losing bargain.*
"Courting death!"
Qing Tian sneered inwardly, thinking Ancestor Dragon was utterly foolish.
What was an Innate Supreme Treasure?
There were only three across the entire Primordial Wilderness!
If they could really be taken so easily, they would be far too useless.
