He was actually a Sub-Saint Realm expert, and his aura was even slightly above his own!
This made his attitude shift. After a moment of thought, he said, "Dao Venerable, do not misunderstand. This Ancestor has come only to borrow one thing from you, fellow Daoist. If you agree, then all is well—I will owe you a great favor. In the future, should you ever ask anything of me, I will give it my all."
"And if I refuse to lend it?"
Qing Tian's gaze was indifferent as he spoke casually.
He didn't need to guess—it was definitely the aura of the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus that had drawn the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons here.
Unfortunately, trying to snatch the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus from his hands with empty words was still Luohu overreaching.
"If you refuse to lend it, then I will take it myself."
Luohu spoke calmly, his cold voice carrying over.
Boom!
As the words fell, a monstrous tide of Sha Qi surged. Even the creatures hidden tens of thousands of zhang beneath the sea could not escape—they were all shattered into powder, turning into wisps of blood mist.
In the void, Luohu gripped a Black Divine Spear, like the Supreme Demon Lord, his eyes icy as he fixed them on Qing Tian, as if a single wrong word would trigger a full-blown battle!
He was confident in his invincibility. Even if Qing Tian's strength was extraordinary, he would never lose.
The reason he had first observed courtesy before resorting to force was merely to save himself some effort.
"How amusing."
Qing Tian smiled faintly, raised a hand, and gently pushed Meng Wu.
In an instant, the void collapsed, Yin and Yang reversed. An ancient vortex emerged, emitting a terrifying devouring force that swept Meng Wu's figure inside, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Keeping Meng Wu by his side in such a battle would only bring harm, not benefit. It was better to send her to a safe place, lest she be caught in the aftershocks and end up with her body destroyed and her Dao extinguished.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shattered.
A demon spear tore through the air, stabbing straight toward Qing Tian's brow in the blink of an eye.
The Devil Ancestor Luohu struck with his usual ruthless cruelty, leaving no room for survival.
This single blow was aimed directly at annihilating Qing Tian's Primordial Spirit, killing him on the spot!
Qing Tian's expression remained composed. Facing this earth-shattering strike, he casually raised his hand. Yin-Yang Qi spread out, forming a Taiji Pattern above his head that firmly blocked the God-Slaying Spear.
"An Innate Supreme Treasure!"
Luohu exclaimed, a hint of gravity entering his gaze.
Only an Innate Supreme Treasure could so effortlessly block the God-Slaying Spear!
Even the Five Elements Lotus Platform could not withstand the God-Slaying Spear's attack!
"One should return the courtesy one receives."
Qing Tian smiled, then closed in directly. Protected by the Taiji Diagram, he charged before Luohu, raised his hand, and struck out with a palm.
Heaven Shattering Palm!
As the palm fell, heaven was shocked, ten thousand Daos shattered, the void reversed, and all things were annihilated.
Cracks in the void appeared one after another, spreading outward in all directions with Luohu at the center.
Luohu's eyes sharpened, but he did not retreat half a step. Just as the palm imprint descended, a cluster of Dark Light soared up, enveloping him from head to toe in a tight seal.
No matter how heaven and earth collapsed around him, or the stars shifted, Luohu stood unmoved.
"The Twelfth-grade World-Ending Black Lotus!"
Qing Tian stared at the Black Lotus Platform beneath Luohu's feet, pondering inwardly.
The Twelfth-grade World-Ending Black Lotus—seated upon it, one was inherently invincible. It could also absorb violent and savage auras, serving as a treasure to suppress the Destiny of the Western World!
Having summoned the Twelfth-grade World-Ending Black Lotus, Luohu had no more worries. He thrust the God-Slaying Spear forward like a Furious Dragon Emerging from Sea, churning billions of zhang of void and turning the entire sky above the Eastern Sea into a chaotic, formless void.
Boundless Sha Qi surged violently, crashing toward Qing Tian like a tidal wave covering the sky.
God-Slaying Spear: Myriad Demons Fall Saint Spear!
The power of this spear was too immense; it nearly shook the entire Eastern Sea. Countless water tribes trembled in fear, as if facing utter annihilation.
Candle Dragon, Ancestor Dragon, and others soared into the air to inspect the battlefield, and every one of them changed color in shock.
"What in the world is this? Who is fighting, to possess such might?"
Ancestor Dragon was secretly alarmed.
After recovering from his injuries, he had been ambitious, planning to march on the Wild Continent and unify all the myriad races under heaven. Then he would consolidate the Destiny of the Wild Continent to enhance his strength and attain the Primordial Dao Fruit.
But he had never expected to witness such a scene before even setting out on his campaign.
He understood clearly that both sides in this battle possessed strength no weaker than his own.
Even... perhaps a bit stronger!
On Kunlun Mountain.
Ancestor Hongjun's gaze was profound as he looked far off over the Eastern Sea.
"I never expected Qing Tian to actually clash with Luohu. Perfect—while they wear each other down, I'll reap the spoils."
He calculated silently in his heart. Above his head, the Jade Plate of Creation scattered ten-thousand-foot rays of light, pouring down countless principles of the Great Dao, elevating his strength with every passing moment.
Such was the wonder of the Jade Plate of Creation—it was akin to a cultivation aid. Once obtained, comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos became as simple as eating and drinking.
After these years of cultivation, Ancestor Hongjun's power had astonishingly broken through to the eighth heaven of the Sub-Saint Realm!
In the north.
Shen Ni's eyes were wild, brimming with boundless killing intent. He laughed maniacally: "Fight on! Best if they kill each other off—then I can lead the world's ferocious beasts and sweep across the Primordial Wilderness!"
Compared to other beings, Shen Ni was the most unstable element.
Corrupted by the calamity's influence, Shen Ni had become savage and bloodthirsty, driven to utter madness.
Above Buzhou Mountain, in the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Within the Divine Court, Di Tian's gaze was icy cold, his eyes shifting and uncertain, scheming over something unknown.
"Fine technique!"
Qing Tian smiled calmly and casually tossed out an object. At first, Yin-Yang Qi filled the air, then in an instant it transformed into a golden bridge, spanning the void and suppressing all changes of earth, water, wind, and fire.
Luohu's spear descended, striking above the golden bridge. Immediately, countless golden blossoms soared into the air, firmly supporting the God-Slaying Spear.
Luohu's pupils contracted slightly, then he laughed: "The Dao Venerable Qing Tian is indeed extraordinary. But unfortunately, you cannot break through my defenses either. If we keep fighting like this, even a hundred thousand years will yield no result. How about we each take a step back? What do you say?"
The defensive power of the Taiji Diagram was unrivaled in the Primordial Wilderness, surpassing even the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda and the Chaos Bell. It was truly impervious to all techniques.
Let alone Luohu, who was merely at the Sub-Saint Realm—even one who had attained the Hunyuan Dao could not break through the Taiji Diagram's defense.
In comparison, the World-Ending Black Lotus seemed somewhat inferior.
"You cannot break my defense, but that doesn't mean I cannot break yours."
Qing Tian's expression remained calm, his demeanor composed.
As terrifying as the World-Ending Black Lotus was, calling it truly impervious to all techniques was still an exaggeration.
"Arrogant nonsense! Since you're so stubborn, let's settle this with our hands!"
Luohu's gaze turned ice-cold at these words. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand shot into the sky, transforming into billions of black rays that rained down simultaneously.
This was a Demon Dao secret art, capable of instantly gathering the world's terrifying energies into countless spear shadows of the God-Slaying Spear, bringing down a calamity that could destroy heaven and earth.
Boom!
The Eastern Sea boiled.
Hundreds of thousands of feet of seawater were split apart, revealing the deep seabed beneath.
Under the bombardment of the God-Slaying Spear, the seabed was torn open. Earthfire and magma surged forth, colliding with the seawater and triggering a terrible explosion.
Tsunamis followed one after another, raising waves hundreds of thousands of feet high that crashed toward the surrounding lands.
Countless billions of living beings perished, falling in this catastrophe.
In an instant, the waters of the Eastern Sea were dyed crimson with blood.
The Ancestor Dragon raged like thunder, raising the Ancestor Dragon Spear. Several times he wanted to charge into the fray, but was held back by the Candle Dragon.
Yet when all the dust settled, a sight that shocked Luohu appeared.
Qing Tian still stood unharmed above the Eastern Sea, the Taiji Diagram without the slightest ripple.
