He was also a powerhouse in the Sub-Saint Realm, and seemed to be faintly above himself!
This made his attitude change somewhat. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Dao Venerable, please don't misunderstand. I came here this time only to borrow something from you. If you agree, then everything will be easy to discuss. I'll owe you a huge favor, and if you ever need anything in the future, I'll definitely do my utmost."
"What if I refuse to lend it to you?"
Qing Tian's gaze was indifferent as he spoke nonchalantly.
He didn't need to guess. It was surely the aura of the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus that had drawn the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons here.
Unfortunately, Luohu was being too presumptuous if he thought he could get something for nothing and snatch the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus from him.
"If you refuse, I'll take it myself."
Luohu spoke calmly, his cold voice carrying over.
Boom!
As his words fell, monstrous baleful energy rolled out. The living beings hidden hundreds of thousands of zhang beneath the seabed ultimately could not escape. They were all shaken into pieces, transforming into wisps of blood mist.
In the void, Luohu held a Black Divine Spear. He looked like the Supreme Demon Lord, his eyes cold as he stared at Qing Tian, as if he would start a fierce battle at the slightest disagreement!
He was confident that he was invincible. Even if Qing Tian's strength was extraordinary, he absolutely would not lose.
The reason he had begun with courtesy before resorting to force was merely to save himself some effort.
"Interesting."
Qing Tian smiled faintly and raised a hand, gently pushing Meng Wu.
In an instant, the void collapsed and yin and yang reversed. An ancient vortex emerged, emitting terrifying devouring power that swept Meng Wu's figure inside. In the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace.
Keeping Meng Wu by his side during such a battle would bring only harm and no benefit. It was better to send her somewhere safe, lest she be affected by the aftershocks and end up dead with her cultivation destroyed.
Boom!
The heavens shattered and the earth split.
A demonic spear tore through the void and arrived before Qing Tian in the blink of an eye, stabbing straight toward his glabella.
When Demon Ancestor Luohu attacked, he had always been ruthless and vicious, leaving not the slightest chance of survival.
This strike was actually meant to directly annihilate Qing Tian's primordial spirit and kill him outright!
Qing Tian remained calm. Facing this earth-shaking attack, he casually raised his hand. Yin-Yang Qi spread out, transforming above his head into a Taiji Pattern that firmly blocked the God-Slaying Spear.
"Innate Supreme Treasure!"
Luohu cried out in surprise, a trace of gravity appearing in his eyes.
Only an Innate Supreme Treasure could block the God-Slaying Spear so effortlessly!
Even the Five Elements Lotus Platform could not withstand the God-Slaying Spear's attack!
"Courtesy demands reciprocity."
Qing Tian smiled and moved directly toward him. Protected by the Taiji Diagram, he rushed before Luohu and struck out with a palm.
Heaven Shattering Palm!
As the palm descended, the heavens trembled, the myriad paths shattered, the void reversed, and all things were annihilated.
Cracks in the void emerged one after another, spreading in all directions with Luohu at the center.
Luohu's gaze sharpened, but he did not retreat even half a step. The instant the palm print descended, a cluster of dark light soared into the sky, enveloping him from head to toe.
Even as the heavens collapsed around him and the stars shifted, Luohu remained utterly unmoved.
"The Twelfth-grade World-Ending Black Lotus!"
Qing Tian stared at the Black Lotus Platform beneath Luohu's feet, pondering inwardly.
With the Twelfth-grade World-Ending Black Lotus, sitting upon the lotus platform allowed one to stand innately undefeated. It could also absorb violent energy, making it a supreme treasure that suppressed the Destiny/Fortune of the Western World!
After bringing out the Twelfth-grade World-Ending Black Lotus, Luohu had no more worries. He thrust out the God-Slaying Spear in his hand. Like a Furious Dragon Emerging from Sea, it churned the hundred-million-zhang void into chaos, turning the entire sky above the Eastern Sea into a land of chaotic nothingness.
Boundless baleful energy surged violently, crashing toward Qing Tian like a tidal wave that blotted out the sky and covered the earth.
God-Slaying Spear: Myriad Demons Fall Saint Spear!
The power of this spear was far too great, nearly shaking the entire Eastern Sea. Countless aquatic creatures were panic-stricken, as if they had encountered an apocalyptic disaster.
Candle Dragon, Ancestor Dragon, and the others soared into the sky to investigate the battle. Every one of them changed color in shock.*
"What exactly is happening? Who is fighting? How can they possess such power?"
Ancestor Dragon was secretly alarmed.
After recovering from his injuries, he had been full of ambition. He had wanted to send troops into the Wild Continent, unify the myriad races under heaven, and then consolidate the Destiny/Fortune of the Primordial Wilderness to increase his strength and prove the Primordial Dao Fruit.
He had not expected to see such a scene before even setting out.
He knew clearly that both sides in this battle possessed strength no weaker than his own.
They might even... be several times stronger!
On Kunlun Mountain.
Ancestor Hongjun's gaze was deep as he looked into the distance over the Eastern Sea.
"I never expected Qing Tian to clash with Luohu. Perfect. Once the two of you are both badly wounded, I, Ancestor Hongjun, can reap the benefits."
He secretly calculated as the Jade Plate of Creation above his head scattered ten thousand zhang of rosy light, pouring countless Great Dao principles into him and constantly increasing his strength.
This was the wondrous use of the Jade Plate of Creation. It was practically a cultivation aid. After obtaining it, comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos became as simple as eating and drinking.
After cultivating for all these years, Ancestor Hongjun's strength had astonishingly broken through to the eighth layer of the Sub-Saint Realm!
In the north.
Shen Ni's eyes were frenzied and filled with boundless killing intent. He laughed wildly. "Good fight! It would be best if they killed each other. That would be satisfying. When the time comes, I can lead the ferocious beasts of the world and sweep across the Primordial Wilderness!"
Compared with the other existences, Shen Ni was the most unstable factor.
Affected by tribulation energy, Shen Ni had become cruel and bloodthirsty, descending into madness.
Above Buzhou Mountain, atop the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Within the Divine Court, Di Tian's gaze was cold and his eyes shifted uncertainly. No one knew what he was plotting.
"Excellent technique!"
Qing Tian smiled calmly and casually cast out an object. At first, Yin-Yang Qi spread across it, but in an instant it transformed into a golden bridge spanning the void, suppressing the various changes of earth, water, wind, and fire.
Luohu's spear descended onto the golden bridge. Immediately, clusters of golden flowers soared into the air, firmly supporting the God-Slaying Spear.
Luohu's pupils constricted slightly, then he laughed. "Dao Venerable Qing Tian is indeed extraordinary. Unfortunately, you likewise cannot break through my defenses. If we continue like this, there will be no result even after another hundred thousand years. Why don't we each take a step back? What do you think?"
The Taiji Diagram's defensive power was renowned as number one in the Primordial Wilderness, surpassing even the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda and the Chaos Bell. It was truly impervious to all techniques.
Not to mention Luohu, who was merely in the Sub-Saint Realm—even if he proved the Primordial Dao Fruit, he still could not break through the Taiji Diagram's defenses.
By comparison, the World-Ending Black Lotus was somewhat inferior.
"Your inability to break through my defenses doesn't mean I can't break through yours."
Qing Tian's expression remained unchanged as he spoke with composure.
The World-Ending Black Lotus was certainly terrifying, but calling it impervious to all techniques was still somewhat exaggerated.
"Arrogant! Since you're obstinate, then let us see the truth through our strength!"
At his words, Luohu's gaze instantly turned cold. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand shot into the sky, transforming into tens of millions of streaks of black light that fell simultaneously.
This was a demonic secret technique that could gather terrifying amounts of the energy of heaven and earth in an instant, transforming it into countless spear shadows and bringing down a catastrophe capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Rumble!
The Eastern Sea boiled.
The seawater hundreds of thousands of zhang deep was directly parted, revealing the profound seabed beneath.
Under the bombardment of the God-Slaying Spear, the seabed was torn apart. Earthfire and magma surged out, colliding with the seawater and triggering a terrifying explosion.
Tsunamis followed one after another, raising waves hundreds of thousands of zhang high that crashed toward the surrounding land.
Countless living beings died tragically in this disaster.
For a time, the waters of the Eastern Sea were dyed blood-red.
Ancestor Dragon was furious as thunder. He summoned the Ancestor Dragon Spear, trying several times to charge over, but Candle Dragon stopped him each time.
However, once everything settled, a scene that shocked Luohu appeared.
Qing Tian still stood unharmed above the Eastern Sea, while the Taiji Diagram had not fluctuated in the slightest.
