Might of the Gu Worm

Donghua and King Pan stared at each other.

King Pan: "Brat, you truly live up to your title as the Head of Male Immortals, personally appointed by Hongjun. You've got some skills."

Donghua, sword in hand, met his gaze. This time, he didn't retort with mockery. Against these ancient monsters with their steadfast Dao Hearts, words were no longer effective in influencing their actions.

The next moment, both figures vanished from their positions, a tunnel through spacetime opening directly.

Battles between Quasi-Saints in the River of Time and Space were battles of the Dao. Here, one could only attack by relying on their comprehension of the Great Dao Law.

Entering the River of Time and Space, Donghua's Pure Yang Great Dao manifested with a thought, Spiritual Power and various Dao techniques flowing effortlessly.

King Pan showed no carelessness. He was already a mid-stage Quasi-Saint, and he hadn't gained any advantage in their previous fight.

In this battle within the River of Time and Space, he unleashed his full power, pushing the Law of Tribulation to its limits, gradually forming the world-destroying power of heavenly tribulation.

The power of heavenly tribulation converged into various divine thunders, striking Donghua.

Upon seeing this, Donghua retaliated with Pure Yang Divine Thunder.

Within the River of Time and Space, across countless planes, past, present, and future, Donghua and King Pan's battle raged on.

Some clashed with lightning techniques, others with Magical Power, and some with combat skills. The list was endless.

As the battle intensified, King Pan began to falter first.

The fights across the various spacetime planes started to break down.

"How is this possible? You're only a nascent-stage Quasi-Saint, yet your comprehension of the Great Dao is so profound."

Donghua chuckled, stroking his sword. "Want to know? Become my disciple, and I'll teach you for free."

Donghua had already severed his Evil Corporeal body, his Dao Heart pure, his Great Dao unhindered. His comprehension of the Dao had clearly surpassed King Pan's.

Furthermore, King Pan's Dao was impure. He neglected the path of tribulation, a perfectly good path, to cultivate gu worms and poison. What a waste of talent.

"Hmph, arrogant!"

With a thought, King Pan's figures across the various spacetime planes vanished. However, such a drastic withdrawal clearly took a toll, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

He swung his banner, opened a spacetime portal, and instantly departed.

Donghua pursued relentlessly, opening a portal and leaving as well.

The two reappeared on the peak of Wuyi Mountain.

King Pan revealed his true form, transforming into a dragon-dog. Its fur was a riot of colors, its body that of a dog, but with the features of a dragon.

Its colossal form soared above Wuyi Mountain, the King Pan Banner planted before it.

Witnessing this scene, Donghua dared not be careless. Beings born from the desolate ancient era, who had survived the Fierce Beast Tribulation, the war of the Three Clans, and the conflict between Immortals and Devils, were either incredibly powerful or possessed absolute life-saving divine abilities.

Donghua employed the Size As One Wishes divine ability, instantly manifesting Heavenly Dharma Elephant Earth, his body towering to match King Pan's.

The Heavenly Dharma Elephant Earth within Size As One Wishes was far more than just enlarging one's body; that would be meaningless.

The body grew larger only to accommodate the comprehensive strengthening of Magical Power, Dao techniques, and other abilities during the manifestation of divine abilities.

He summoned the Pure World White Lotus and stepped upon it, holding the Pure Yang Sword in his right hand and the Dragon Head Golden Staff in his left.

Just then, King Pan's attack began.

King Pan opened his maw and spewed forth a torrent of black energy. The black energy passed through the King Pan Banner, was cleansed by the power of tribulation within it, and then surged forth once more.

It charged directly at Donghua.

Wherever the black energy passed, even the void was corroded.

"Such potent poison!"

Seeing this, Donghua fully activated the Pure World White Lotus. The twelve-petal white lotus seemed to come alive.

A dense purifying energy enveloped Donghua.

This time, he didn't rashly attack but began to defend.

In battles between cultivators, sometimes the fear wasn't the clash of Daos, but rather unique divine abilities and spells.

These unique divine abilities and spells were usually incredibly bizarre. Thinking back to the Investiture of the Gods era, how many people died due to such techniques?

The most tragic was probably Zhao Gongming, who was directly killed by the Arrow Nail Curse. It was worth noting that Zhao Gongming was already a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal at the time, yet he was cursed to death from afar.

The incoming black torrent was completely blocked by the Pure World White Lotus.

The light of the Pure World was indeed the nemesis of such divine abilities and spells.

Seeing his divine ability blocked, King Pan showed no frustration, as if everything had unfolded according to his calculations.

The next moment, King Pan spat again, releasing a black gu worm.

The gu worm was roughly human-sized, black and translucent, yet one could clearly see its myriad tiny legs and sharp teeth.

Upon seeing this gu worm, Donghua felt his hair stand on end, his mind reeling, and even his Primordial Spirit issued a warning.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He immediately unleashed Pure Yang Divine Thunder, striking the black, translucent gu worm, but it caused no damage, as if the gu worm didn't exist.

With the gu worm rapidly approaching, Donghua was unsure if the Pure World White Lotus could withstand its attack.

The Gu worm directly tore through the Pure World White Lotus's defenses, as if the lotus's purifying power didn't exist. It immediately entered as if into an unmanned territory, heading straight for Donghua's face.

Seeing this, Donghua got up and left. His Pure Yang power circulated, and the Pure World White Lotus immediately flipped over.

He then formed various hand seals, transmitting them to the White Lotus through the sword tip.

The White Lotus immediately released endless white light, forming layer upon layer of white rings that enveloped the Gu worm, sealing it within the light rings.

At this moment, the black Gu worm could no longer break free from the seal. Instead, it was fixed in place.

King Pan saw this and found it somewhat difficult to accept. Although his Gu worm had taken effect, it didn't seem to have much impact, falling far short of his expectations.

But only Donghua knew that the Pure World White Lotus could no longer be used. Once it was used, this black, transparent Gu worm would definitely break through the formation and attack again.

Seeing that the previous attack had failed, King Pan did not get annoyed. He launched another attack. A golden Gu worm attacked again, full of momentum.

This time, the Gu worm was no longer transparent but appeared as a golden, solid entity.

Donghua was not afraid. He feared the unknown. For something with a physical form like this, he felt no fear.

He summoned the Dragon Head Golden Staff in his left hand. The dragon head on the staff transformed into a golden dragon that soared into the sky and began to clash head-on with the golden Gu worm.

Upon seeing the golden staff, King Pan exclaimed, "A Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

His heart was filled with mixed emotions. He had taken form since the Primordial Era, and all the way here, he only had the King Pan Banner, a Top-tier Spiritual Treasure, accompanying him.

Yet this junior, East King Gong, had casually produced three Top-tier Spiritual Treasures. It was truly enough to drive one mad with jealousy.

Thinking of this, King Pan's heart hardened, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"As long as I kill him, all these Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures will be his."

King Pan's mind was instantly consumed by evil thoughts.

Actually, his earlier statement about being friends with Wuyi Gong was indeed true.

During the Primordial Era, the Innate Deities had jointly driven out and annihilated the Fierce Beasts. In that protracted war, the two had fought side by side.

They were once friends who could entrust each other with their backs.

But everything changed because of a Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin.

He couldn't resist the temptation. During a battle, he suddenly attacked with the intent to kill, planning to seize the treasure and then frame the Fierce Beast race.

Alas, it was a matter of time and fate.

Wuyi Gong fled, severely wounded, and he didn't get the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin. Instead, he lost a friend for nothing.

In the sky, the golden Gu worm fighting the golden dragon had a physically strong and incredibly ferocious body.

Seeing that King Pan's two Gu worms were being held back, Donghua no longer hesitated.

This time, he launched the first attack.

The treasure pearl on the Dragon Head Golden Staff released golden light, directly attacking King Pan's Primordial Spirit.

King Pan did not underestimate it. A deep hum could be heard, and a Gu worm that was entirely white was released.

The spirit-breaking golden light released by the golden staff was completely blocked by that Gu worm.

Donghua exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

He knew that even Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who possessed an Innate Supreme Treasure, couldn't withstand this spirit-breaking golden light back then and could only resist it with his Primordial Spirit head-on.

Yet today, it was blocked by one of King Pan's Gu worms. Donghua's shock was indescribable.
