Tianshu Heavenly Dao Bows Its Head

The sky was black as ink, lightning flashing.

When the familiar spatial vortex appeared above Fang Zheng's head once more, the Heavenly Dao of the Tianshu Star Domain immediately entered the fray again!

Last time, it had fought this Outer Realm Demonic God to a draw. It had been ready to pour out the strength of all living beings in heaven and earth for a fight to the death, only for him to escape. That was one thing—after all, the Tianshu Heavenly Dao did not wish to pay an enormous price to eliminate a single Outer Realm Demonic God and cause the world to drop in rank.

But he should never, ever have left behind his mark in this world while fleeing!

At the time, the Tianshu Heavenly Dao had felt unclean. This Outer Realm Demonic God might even slip in through the back door at any moment; perhaps one day, it would be molded into his shape!

Was that right?!

That was not right!

The Tianshu Star Domain belonged to the living beings of Tianshu. No Outer Realm Demonic God would ever be permitted to lay a finger on it!

Thus, the Tianshu Heavenly Dao immediately deployed its forces, driving a group of Supreme Beings barely clinging to life within the forbidden zones to the Fang Family to erase the mark left by the Outer Realm Demonic God. At the same time, it hid in the shadows, ready to unleash a thunderous strike at any moment.

The instant that damned Outer Realm Demonic God dared show himself, it would kill him in seconds!

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

The moment Chen Yi stepped halfway out of the spatial transmission passage, the most terrifying lightning instantly crashed down!

This strike contained not only the endless fury of the Tianshu Heavenly Dao, but also the immense will of trillions of living beings in the Tianshu Star Domain!

With the power of all living beings in heaven and earth poured into it, even a flawless Great Emperor at the height of his power would be either dead or crippled if they took this blow head-on!

But unfortunately, Chen Yi's one-star avatar was not some pseudo-Tribulation Transcendence stage Great Emperor who had reached the same level as the Heavenly Dao through a so-called Heavenly Heart Seal. He was a visitor from another world, an Outer Realm Demonic God who used his own Dao to suppress the Heavenly Dao and had reached the Tribulation Transcendence peak!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

As the lightning essence poured down from the Tianshu Heavenly Dao, Chen Yi stood utterly unmoved. He even had the leisure to refine the vast power within the heavenly lightning, condense it into a ball of pure essence, and casually stuff it into Fang Zheng's body.

That brat had suffered severe injuries to trigger the assistance mission. The flow of energy within his body was already in chaos, and he was only holding on through sheer unyielding spirit. If no one intervened soon, he would die once his life force burned out.

As the group leader, Chen Yi naturally could not watch an adorable group member die before his eyes!

A ball of heavenly lightning essence brimming with vigorous life force poured into his abdomen—his fate was in my hands, not Heaven's!

Pfft, pfft~

Blood sprayed from Fang Zheng's entire body, yet his life force grew ever stronger!

In the blink of an eye, the thick, murky, stale blood that had accumulated in his body for years drained away. Replacing it was vital blood infused with the aura of the Tribulation Transcendence stage and fragments of this world's Heavenly Dao will!

At this moment, Fang Zheng could, in a certain sense, sit on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao. His cultivation aptitude had broken through the limits of heaven and earth, reaching an absurd level!

Compared to his son Fang Fan, who was said to possess the potential of a Great Emperor, it was not merely a crushing advantage. All that could be said was: your father was still your father!

"Hisss, hisss, hisss~"

At this sight, sharp intakes of breath rose and fell in the distance.

The eyes of the twenty-four Supreme Beings were as wide as brass bells.

He had simply caught the Heavenly Dao's full-force strike—something even a flawless Great Emperor could not withstand—and refined it in an instant?

Wasn't that shady?

If it wasn't shady, I'll eat dirt!

What kind of existence were they even fighting against?

If they had been at their peak, the twenty-four of them joining hands might perhaps have stood a chance.

But now, every one of them was withered and depleted. Even if they underwent ultimate sublimation and briefly returned to their peak, it would not last long. Could they truly take down this terrifying Outer Realm Demonic God?

Some of the Supreme Beings had already begun to retreat inwardly.

They had hidden in the forbidden zones precisely because they feared death, harvesting the spiritual essence of living beings to prolong their lives. Now that they faced an unfathomable enemy, if they did not run, were they supposed to go up and donate their heads?

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author—it may simply have been renamed!

What?

The Heavenly Dao said that if they did not risk their lives now, this Outer Realm Demonic God would very likely kill them later?

Sorry, can't hear you!

Even if he really came for me, couldn't I still run?

May my fellow Daoist die, not I. Whoever ran slowest would be on the front line!

The old geezers seemed to share a telepathic understanding. It was impossible to tell who moved faster, but in an instant, half the Supreme Beings had silently retreated to the rear. The other half, who had still been considering whether to fight to the bitter end, immediately found their answer and scattered in all directions!

Every Supreme Being tacitly gambled that this Outer Realm Demonic God would not pursue them personally. At the same time, they gambled that no matter how powerful he was, he could not possibly slaughter everyone while being held back by the Heavenly Dao!

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

The betrayed Heavenly Dao flew into a furious rage. Several bolts of heavenly lightning originally meant for Chen Yi abruptly changed direction and struck toward the Supreme Beings, only to be easily evaded.

Chen Yi's expression was rather strange as well.

Were these people not a little too cowardly?

They did not even have the courage to face him and simply ran?

To be fair, if they had truly joined forces with the Heavenly Dao against him, his ordinary one-star avatar with only nine hundred million combat power might not have been able to endure it. He would have had to summon another avatar to suppress everything.

"Looks like this backup avatar won't be needed after all. So, what now? Are you still going to resist?"

Chen Yi shook his head, revealing a purple sphere as he gazed mockingly into the depths of the heavens.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"

Thunderous roars echoed across the cosmos. The Heavenly Dao of the Tianshu Star Domain descended with an ethereal will, and a vast voice rang out slowly:

"Powerful visitor from another world, what do you intend to do?"

Hearing this, a subtle curve rose at the corner of Chen Yi's lips. He said calmly, "Oh? You're not calling me an Outer Realm Demonic God anymore? I preferred that unruly look of yours. How about you put it back on?"

"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!" The heavens shook as the Tianshu Heavenly Dao responded coldly, "Do not go too far!"

"Heh..." Chen Yi gave a cold laugh. "Have I gone too far? I merely came here as a guest, yet without even asking a question, you struck me with lightning. Wasn't that going too far?!"

The Tianshu Heavenly Dao fell silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Without my consent, you freely slaughtered the living beings of my domain. Did such conduct follow the way of a guest? Therefore, it was only right that I sent down tribulation punishment!"

"Spare me your sanctimonious act!" Chen Yi flung his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "When those Supreme Beings slaughtered living beings and plundered their spiritual essence to extend their lives, why did you not intervene? When all living beings wailed in grief and begged the heavens to open their eyes, were you blind?"

"I merely killed around a thousand people, and you couldn't sit still?"

"What the hell are you? What gives you the right to lecture me on what to do?!"

The Tianshu Heavenly Dao fell silent.

How could those be the same?

You were simply twisting logic!

After all, no matter how people within the household fought among themselves, it was still the household's own affair. And destruction was only meant to usher in an even grander golden age. What right did an uninvited outsider have to point fingers?

Because you were strong?

Fine. It really was because he was strong.

In principle, internal conflicts within a world could never be allowed to be interfered with by visitors from beyond it. But now, the principles were in his hands.

In this world, whoever was strong was right!

The Tianshu Heavenly Dao hesitated for a long while before finally yielding.

"Respected visitor from another world, you do not appear to bear ill intent. May I ask what purpose brings you to this world?"
