Ancestor Saint Yuan smiled faintly. The Dharma Artifact in his hand transformed into a ray of light, enveloping his body.
The light passed through Dao Lord Taichu's attack and shone upon him without suffering the slightest damage.
Dao Lord Taichu felt a powerful force envelop him. He wanted to break free, but he could not move at all.
All kinds of illusions continuously surfaced in his mind, making him feel as though he had been thrown into a strange and dangerous world.
Seeing Dao Lord Taichu helpless, Ancestor Saint Yuan waved his hand lightly. A massive light pillar instantly descended from the heavens and engulfed Dao Lord Taichu's body.
A piercing sound came from within the light pillar. Dao Lord Taichu felt his body being suppressed by an immense force. He wanted to break free, but discovered that there was nothing he could do.
Ancestor Saint Yuan smiled faintly. "Dao Lord Taichu, you should give up.
"Your strength can no longer contend with mine."
Dao Lord Taichu was unwilling to accept this. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Even if I die, I will never submit to you."
His heart was filled with fury and resentment. He knew he was destined to become Ancestor Saint Yuan's sacrifice, but he was unwilling to let it end like this.
At that moment, Dao Lord Taichu felt his body begin to change. It gradually became transparent, as though it were disappearing.
Ancestor Saint Yuan was slightly startled. He had not expected Dao Lord Taichu to possess such a technique.
"Not bad. Your methods are impressive," Ancestor Saint Yuan said. "But you still cannot escape the palm of my hand."
As soon as he spoke, the Dharma Artifact in Ancestor Saint Yuan's hand erupted with intense light. The radiance enveloped Dao Lord Taichu's body completely.
