With a single step, Xie Fang traveled eighty thousand li east and arrived.
As his divine sense spread, he immediately sensed a familiar presence.
It was his old acquaintance, Yin-Yang Ancestor!
BOOM—
Just as Xie Fang sensed Yin-Yang Ancestor's presence, a tremendous roar suddenly shook the firmament!
Along with the roar, an extremely powerful wave of Spiritual Qi swept outward!
RUMBLE—
Another deafening boom followed. A dazzling pillar of light suddenly burst from the valley where Yin-Yang Ancestor had been discovered. In the blink of an eye, it pierced the clouds and soared straight into the heavens!
Xie Fang's eyes narrowed slightly. A radiant treasure glow illuminated the sky, while Spiritual Qi grew so dense it seemed almost tangible, churning throughout the void.
"A treasure has appeared! Yin-Yang Ancestor really is here guarding it!"
There was no time to lose. Xie Fang immediately headed for Yin-Yang Ancestor's location, determined to seize the treasure!
After all, a treasure worth guarding by a Quasi-Saint like Yin-Yang Ancestor couldn't be ordinary.
"It's you?!"
Xie Fang was now a Quasi-Saint, and his powerful aura had brought him to the valley in a single step. Yin-Yang Ancestor sensed him at once. But when he looked closely, he was stunned.
"What are you doing here?!"
He had guarded the treasure for so long, and now, just as it was about to appear, he had run into Xie Fang, an old enemy!
Even more alarming was that Xie Fang's cultivation aura had now reached the Quasi-Saint realm!
Back when this brat was only at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, his fighting strength was already astonishing. Now that he's a Quasi-Saint, I doubt this can end peacefully!
Yin-Yang Ancestor's heart sank. He stared at Xie Fang warily.
But Xie Fang's gaze was fixed on the scroll in Yin-Yang Ancestor's hands.
The scroll held faint traces of Yin-Yang energies. Drawing on the aura of the Primordial World, it radiated a dense power of Chaos!
"It's the Yin-Yang Diagram! That old geezer really did find himself a treasure!"
With the memories passed down by the Heavenly Dao, Xie Fang recognized the scroll at a glance.
The Yin-Yang Diagram was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, capable of uniting yin and yang and governing reincarnation!
In the orthodox history of the Primordial World, the Yin-Yang Diagram did indeed belong to Yin-Yang Ancestor. But during the campaign to slay Luohu, Yin-Yang Ancestor fell, and the Yin-Yang Diagram ended up in Hongjun's hands.
Later, after Hongjun attained sainthood, the Witch Clan's ancestral shaman Houtu obtained the Reincarnation Purple Lotus during the decisive battle between the Witches and the Demons and transformed herself into reincarnation. Only then did Hongjun grant her the Yin-Yang Diagram, so she could complete the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World and govern the six paths of reincarnation!
"I never thought you'd find such a treasure here."
Xie Fang made no attempt to hide his covetous gaze. Yin-Yang Ancestor immediately panicked.
He had waited a thousand years for this treasure to appear!
How could he possibly accept handing it over to Xie Fang?
And on top of that, the two of them had a serious grudge. If Yin-Yang Ancestor hadn't escaped quickly back then, Xie Fang would have killed him...
"This treasure..."
Killing intent rose in Yin-Yang Ancestor's heart. As he spoke, he made his move, summoning the Yin-Yang Two Energies and sending them straight at Xie Fang!
The Yin-Yang Two Energies came surging in like two giant serpents, devouring the world!
Back when Xie Fang fought Yin-Yang Ancestor, he had severed a section of the Yin-Yang Two Energies. He had even refined that severed portion and fused it into his own body, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.
Over the years, the Yin-Yang Two Energies had greatly benefited Xie Fang. Now, seeing Yin-Yang Ancestor use the same move again, he felt an odd sense of familiarity.
"Such a fine treasure is wasted in your hands!"
Xie Fang let out a quiet shout, and thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls appeared!
At their center, a streak of golden light suddenly blazed!
"Let's see if your Yin-Yang Two Energies can subdue my Heaven-Measuring Ruler!"
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler could measure the lands of the Primordial World!
With Xie Fang's current cultivation, he still couldn't measure the world, but he could certainly tear the heavens apart with a single swing!
In their battle long ago, Yin-Yang Ancestor had escaped because of Xie Fang's limited cultivation. Now he had returned, his cultivation even reaching the Quasi-Saint realm. Whether to claim the Yin-Yang Diagram or settle their karma, Xie Fang had to kill Yin-Yang Ancestor!
So he unleashed his full strength from the very start!
BOOM!
In an instant, their attacks collided. The void exploded, the sun and moon collapsed, and the rivers reversed their course!
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler shone with divine radiance and slashed directly into the Yin-Yang Two Energies!
"PFFT—"
Yin-Yang Ancestor's eyes were filled with disbelief!
The Yin-Yang Two Energies were his life-bound treasure. When Xie Fang severed a section years ago, Yin-Yang Ancestor had suffered severe internal injuries. It had taken him all these years just to recover.
Now, facing Xie Fang, who had become a Quasi-Saint, the Yin-Yang Two Energies were cut in half once more. Struck by the backlash, Yin-Yang Ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood!
"You... You can actually cut through the void!"
Yin-Yang Ancestor could never have imagined that in just a few tens of thousands of years, Xie Fang would not only have reached the Quasi-Saint realm, but also attained such astonishing mastery of the laws!
Cutting through the void required the support of the power of laws!
"Brat, what kind of fortuitous encounter have you had lately? How did you become so powerful all of a sudden?"
Yin-Yang Ancestor had been unable to defeat Xie Fang back then, but at least he had been able to fight back.
But now, after just one exchange, he had been utterly defeated!
How could that not leave him both furious and shocked?
And beneath his anger and shock, panic began to rise.
After all, the stronger his opponent was, the greater the danger he faced!
"Envious, or jealous?"
Xie Fang replied coolly, but his attacks never let up!
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler turned into countless Golden Ruler Shadows, raining down like a storm as they slashed toward Yin-Yang Ancestor from every direction!
With ruler shadows falling like raindrops, Yin-Yang Ancestor couldn't tell which one was the real Heaven-Measuring Ruler!
With no other choice, Yin-Yang Ancestor braced himself and endured the blows with his physical body!
THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD!
Dull impacts rang out over and over against Yin-Yang Ancestor's body!
Under such a fierce barrage, cracks quickly appeared in the Quasi-Saint's body!
"Damn it! How has this brat improved so quickly? If this goes on, I'll die here today!"
Yin-Yang Ancestor's Primordial Spirit was nearly shattered, and overwhelming fear filled his heart!
He knew that once his body was destroyed, his Primordial Spirit would never escape Xie Fang's grasp!
He was a dignified Quasi-Saint, one of the first beings born when the world was created. This left Yin-Yang Ancestor feeling utterly stifled!
Unfortunately, Xie Fang had no intention of sparing him!
The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler's attacks grew fiercer with every strike. Xie Fang held nothing back, determined to kill Yin-Yang Ancestor!
