They called it a forbidden ground, but it was really just an independent little world beneath the Twin Peaks Dragon Vein—a bedroom where the Heaven and Earth Bead slept.
At that moment, the little world trembled. The Heaven and Earth Bead within was thoroughly displeased, looking ready to throw down with the old man.
Once or twice was one thing, but the old geezer had sent people to bother it again and again. This time, he'd even led them here himself. Did he really think it had such a good temper?
It was an Innate Supreme Treasure, after all, with its own dignity. The old man was practically riding on its head and bullying it. How could it put up with that?
Crash!
The forbidden ground's gates burst open. A seven-colored immortal bead shot out and roared as it rammed toward the old man. "I'll fight you to the death!"
"Just what I wanted!" the old man bellowed.
Then, under Hua Yunfei and Heaven-Splitter's astonished gazes, he instantly burst out of his clothes, transforming into a gigantic, muscular old man, broad and imposing.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth Bead slammed into the old man with a thunderous crash. Its power erupted wildly, battering him.
"Harder," the old man said, looking thoroughly pleased.
"Argh!" The Heaven and Earth Bead clearly wasn't doing this for the first time. It shouted in fury, but no matter what it did, it couldn't budge the old man.
The old man was the Immeasurable Heaven-Crossing Armor, the greatest defensive treasure in the world. Who could possibly move him?
"Now that's something."
The sight of the old man bursting out of his clothes genuinely startled Heaven-Splitter. He looked nothing like the kind, affable old man from before.
"So this is what they mean by a complete contrast?"
