My World

A Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal striking against a Golden Immortal—it was as simple as crushing an ant underfoot.

Four bolts of thunder roared in, and the overwhelming crisis of death froze Bright Rabbit and the other three in place on the spot.

Death was right before their eyes. Inescapable!

But the next moment, they found themselves within a hazy, indistinct realm.

For a time, the four were lost and bewildered, at a complete loss.

Outside, the four thunderbolts struck empty air, and the four had vanished without a trace.

"Hm?"

A note of doubt came from the massive shadow.

Then, the shadow in the sky abruptly vanished.

In its place, a middle-aged man appeared in midair.

The man wore a golden robe, his head full of golden hair, with two jagged horns hidden within it.

A dragon in human form—it seemed the rule that horns could not be transformed away was inescapable.

"Come out!"

The four could not have simply disappeared into thin air. After sweeping his gaze around, the Golden Dragon suddenly bellowed!

Crash!

The surrounding space rippled, and a scroll manifested ahead.

It was the Qiankun Diagram.

The Qiankun Diagram shimmered with a radiant glow, clearly extraordinary.

The Golden Dragon's pupils contracted, and he lunged forward, reaching out to grab it.

"What a fine treasure!"

But the Qiankun Diagram vanished in an instant, reappearing a hundred li away, now held in Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan wore a face full of mocking amusement as he looked at the Golden Dragon, raising a finger and wagging it. "No matter how fine the treasure, it's not yours."

The Golden Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly as he sized up Li Xuan.

Then, as if he had just seen the funniest thing in heaven and earth, he burst into laughter. "A Mystic Immortal? An early-stage Mystic Immortal? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

Li Xuan's mouth twitched, clearly annoyed. "What? Look down on Mystic Immortals?"

"Truly ignorant and fearless."

The Golden Dragon's gaze shifted back to the Qiankun Diagram in Li Xuan's hand. His laughter faded, and his voice turned icy. "But today, though I didn't land a big fish, I've stumbled upon a pleasant surprise!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Rumble!

In an instant, heaven and earth changed color. Seven or eight bolts of lightning, each as thick as a water vat, shot in from all directions!

Against the attack of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, what could a mere Mystic Immortal do but wait for death?

With a sharp crack, the void itself shuddered, and a cloud of green smoke erupted from the spot.

The Golden Dragon wore a cold smirk as he strode forward, intending to collect the Qiankun Diagram.

As for that reckless Mystic Immortal? Surely he had already been scattered to the winds, body and soul.

"Hey, I don't think you look down on Mystic Immortals—I think you're blind, and just can't see one."

But just then, a voice rang out five hundred li ahead.

The Golden Dragon looked up and saw Li Xuan standing there, perfectly fine, far in the distance.

Technique: Illusory Shift.

At his current Mystic Immortal cultivation, Li Xuan could cover several thousand li in a single Illusory Shift!

The reason he hadn't fled that far was simply because he was worried the Golden Dragon wouldn't be able to find him...

This dragon... couldn't be allowed to escape.

"You're asking for death!"

For a Mystic Immortal to instantly shift five hundred li was perfectly normal.

After all, if he, as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, wished to, moving one or two thousand li in a single step was no trouble either.

Thus, the moment the words left his mouth, he had already shifted as well, arriving beside Li Xuan in an instant!

With a ferocious expression, the Golden Dragon reached out and grabbed for Li Xuan's head.

"Die!"

With a low shout, Li Xuan's form was crushed directly in his grip!

But the red and white that should have appeared... never did.

Instead, it exploded into a mass of spiritual energy, then slowly dissipated.

The Golden Dragon looked down at his hand in surprise.

There was nothing in his grasp, and the spiritual energy before him had dispersed, leaving not a trace behind.

"Sure enough, you're blind—truly blind! What kind of dragon are you? You're a lobster! This Humble One is right here!"

A sudden, arrogant, and gleeful laugh rang out. Five hundred li ahead, wasn't Li Xuan standing right there?

He wore a smirk so infuriating it made one want to punch him, staring at the Golden Dragon.

At the same time, he raised one hand and flipped him off.

By all logic, Primordial Beings shouldn't understand the meaning of a middle finger.

But paired with Li Xuan's smug grin and disdain, and that gesture—

Damn. That contempt hit like a wave, unbearable for anyone to witness.

"You insolent whelp! Relying on your agile movement to dare mock me!?"

The Golden Dragon, feeling thoroughly toyed with, finally erupted in full fury.

His eyes turned blazing gold as he let out a low roar, instantly kicking up a deafening boom!

His figure vanished, reappearing right where Li Xuan stood!

Boom!

Li Xuan's form exploded into a cloud of spiritual energy.

The Golden Dragon didn't stop; he surged forward!

Five hundred li away, Li Xuan's figure had just materialized when he arrived again!

"You little brat!! Let's see how many times you can teleport!!"

Bang!

Another burst of spiritual energy.

But the Golden Dragon's form vanished again, and the next moment, he and Li Xuan appeared in the same spot!

"Run, will you!?"

His face twisted with rage, the Golden Dragon swung a claw at Li Xuan!

This strike, he was confident, would crush that ignorant little cultivator into paste.

Seeing the shock on the young cultivator's face, the Golden Dragon's heart filled with cold glee and satisfaction!

Slap!

The cultivator exploded, once again dissolving into spiritual energy.

"Huh!?"

The Golden Dragon's eyes were full of disbelief. He lifted his head and looked ahead.

In this chase, the two had advanced nearly two thousand li.

Unknowingly, the Golden Dragon had entered the territory of Mount Taixuan.

There, atop the highest peak, sat that damned little cultivator cross-legged on a lotus platform, grinning ear to ear, staring at him like he was some great treasure.

Wait.

A great treasure?

A sudden bad feeling surged in the Golden Dragon's heart.

Having cultivated to the fifth level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he was naturally alert and sharp-witted.

Over the years, he had encountered countless dangers. Sensing something wrong now, he immediately moved to retreat.

Fishing—maybe, just maybe, he was the fish now!

But before he could turn, the bright and clear weather suddenly transformed into an endless, thick fog.

A hazy world, impossible to tell north from south, east from west!

The Golden Dragon's face changed drastically. He moved, a sharp sword appearing in his hand, and a gleaming golden armor covering his body.

He entered a state of extreme tension and defense, darting around rapidly.

Yet he could never escape the fog's range!

But the fog didn't attack him immediately.

Instead, the mist rolled ahead, splitting open a path straight to the mountain peak.

Once again, Li Xuan's infuriatingly smug figure appeared.

Li Xuan looked at the Golden Dragon like he was a peerless beauty. Wiping the corner of his mouth, he let out a cackling laugh.

The Golden Dragon felt his skin crawl. Unable to hold back, he roared and charged at Li Xuan!

This being's cultivation was indeed only Mystic Immortal! No need to fear him!

As long as he killed him, this strange formation would vanish!

Li Xuan smiled, then looked at the Golden Dragon with an air of calm detachment: "This is Mount Taixuan, the place I grew up. Welcome to my world, you proud little treasure."
