Back then!

I kept my hands in my pockets, not knowing what it meant to have a rival!

Demon Lord Jidu stood in just such a pose, looking down at Dong Wanggong, Zhunti, and Jieyin. His eyes were full of disdain, as if they were already turtles in a jar, entirely at his mercy.

"Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong, are you confident?"

Zhunti asked weakly.

At this point, the situation was already beyond his control.

At this, Dong Wanggong gave a slight nod.

"I am skilled at cultivating Righteous Qi. Arise!"

He spoke in a deep, ringing voice, and vast Immortal Dao Law swept out. The Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud hovered above Zhunti and Jieyin, as Immortal Music rang out and washed away the demonic energy.

The Dao Heart Demonic Seed seemed to have encountered a powerful foe. It soon stirred within the depths of their origins, releasing even more demonic energy.

The Demonic Path was boundless; the Immortal Dao, vast and profound.

At that moment, the two forces fought within Zhunti and Jieyin. Their meridians ruptured, and blood even sprayed from their pores.

Seeing this, Demon Lord Jidu sneered.

"The Dao Heart Demonic Seed was formed by the Demon Ancestor from a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Each seed can grant a living being the power of Quasi-Saint Peak. How could you possibly dispel it?"

"The Demonic Dao Principles are supreme. The power of the Immortal Dao is no more than mayflies and ants!"

Demon Ancestor Luohu was the supreme being of the Demonic Path. Only the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds personally refined by him possessed the power Demon Lord Jidu spoke of, and they contained the Demonic Path Laws.

Misfortune was where good fortune depended!

An ordinary person would surely choose to fall into the Demonic Path, but Zhunti and Jieyin were Heavenly Dao Saints. They would not submit so easily!

"If the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud can't dispel it, then I'll try another method!"

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, I believe your Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus and I are destined to be together. Would you give it to me? To remove the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds from you both, I'll need to bring out my trump card!"

"Don't worry, I'm not taking advantage of your predicament. I'm just showing consideration for you. If there's no other choice, you might as well agree, right?"

Dong Wanggong put away the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud.

Everything he had done before was merely a test of Demon Lord Jidu.

At his words, Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions shifted. They exchanged a glance, feeling as if they had been had.

But to dispel the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds, they had to rely on Dong Wanggong.

This was a stratagem they had no choice but to accept!

If Dong Wanggong obtained the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, he would only need the Twelve-Petal Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus of Destruction. Then the Chaos Green Lotus would once again appear in the world!

"Very well!"

"The Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus belongs to you, Fellow Daoist. My senior brother and I won't take advantage of you!"

Jieyin gritted his teeth and, enduring the pain, offered up the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus. Its golden merit light shimmered brilliantly, dazzling even Demon Lord Jidu with greed.

"You know what matters. I'll do my utmost to fulfill my mission!"

"Dao Heart Demonic Seed, come to me!"

Dong Wanggong took the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, then sent his spiritual sense into the depths of Zhunti and Jieyin's origins, merging with the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds.

The World Tree Seed gave off a faint glow, as if it had sensed some opportunity, and swallowed the two Dao Heart Demonic Seeds.

In an instant, Demon Lord Jidu's expression darkened. He could no longer sense his connection to the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds.

[ Ding! ]

[The World Tree Seed has absorbed the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds. Growth Value increased by 10%. Current value: 30%.]

The system's voice echoed within Dong Wanggong's primordial spirit.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic energy in Zhunti and Jieyin's origins vanished without a trace, as if it had never been there. The two were back to full strength.

"What exactly did you do?"

Demon Lord Jidu furrowed his brows. He admitted he had underestimated Dong Wanggong.

Demonic light flashed in his eyes, and his bone-chilling killing intent locked onto Dong Wanggong. A murderous aura appeared out of nowhere.

The winds and clouds shifted. Demonic energy churned, while immortal radiance spread.

Atop Mount Sumeru, a great battle seemed unavoidable.

"I naturally removed the Dao Heart Demonic Seeds. Now it's time to drive you, this evil spirit, out of the Primordial World!"

"Zhunti, Jieyin, join Qiongqi in wiping out the Demon Race Army. Remember to give all the skeletons and corpses to Qiongqi. I have a great use for them!"

Dong Wanggong's eyes shone brightly.

At his words, Zhunti and Jieyin were overjoyed.

It seemed the Western World would soon return to their hands.

Without another thought about Dong Wanggong's extortion, the two brought out their spiritual treasures. Supreme Immortal Dao power surged forth like a mighty river as they charged at the Demon Race Army!

In an instant, heaven and earth were overturned, and divine abilities filled the sky.

Qiongqi gripped the Chaos Gourd in his dragon claw. Countless Chaos Divine Thunderbolts rained from above, killing all they touched, while Chaos Qi Flow swept up the corpses of the Demon Race and rampaged across the Western lands.

Above the clouds, Immortals and demons faced off!

"Dong Wanggong, you've angered me!"

"You're nothing but a Late Quasi-Saint, yet you think you can fight a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal? How ignorant and foolish! How dare a firefly compete with the bright moon?"

Standing on the Twelve-Petal Black Lotus of Destruction, Demon Lord Jidu released his Hunyuan aura. A force of ten thousand jun pressed down on Dong Wanggong, darkening the sky and dimming the sun and moon.

"Tai Xu Divine Armor!"

"Primordial Measure Ruler, Slay Gods and Destroy Worlds!"

In an instant, purple-gold armor transformed into a stream of light and protected Dong Wanggong's body. Mysterious Yellow Qi and Ziwei Qi billowed out.

The Tai Xu Divine Armor protected him; the Primordial Measure Ruler attacked.

At that moment, Dong Wanggong was like a true God of War. The Law of Strength shattered all laws, while the Yin-Yang Law, Space Law, and Immortal Dao Law were all activated.

Power beyond Quasi-Saint Peak erupted completely!

"Boy, today I'll show you what an insurmountable gulf really is!"

"I'll use your blood to consecrate the restoration of my Demon Sect!"

Demon Lord Jidu grew serious.

The Twelve-Petal Black Lotus of Destruction shot out countless beams of dark light. They were Annihilation Demonic Light, capable of erasing all living things.

At the same time, Nine Nether Demonic Fire conjured countless phenomena and surged toward Dong Wanggong!

High above the Nine Heavens,

the Primordial Measure Ruler shone with purple-gold radiance, slicing through the void. Its dazzling light was so brilliant that all living beings were unable to open their eyes.

The void dimensions, the Chaos, and the myriad heavens seemed on the verge of destruction.

Behind Dong Wanggong, the phantoms of three thousand worlds appeared. In the next instant, the Great Dao of Strength became a millstone, drawing everything into itself.

Rumble!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two forces collided, tearing apart all that was void.

The land of the Western World shattered, and its mountains and rivers were annihilated. Zhunti and Jieyin could only suffer in silence, their hearts aching as if cut by knives.

"Demon Lord Jidu, let's take this fight Outside the Chaos. If your attacks are as feeble as they were before, then as a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal, you're unworthy of being a member of the Demonic Path!"

"The Tai Xu Divine Armor is impervious to all techniques. Unless you have an Innate Supreme Treasure, even with the power of a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal, you can't break my defenses!"

"I hope that treasure is in your hands."

Dong Wanggong let out a long roar, tore open a Space Rift, and stepped through it.

The Primordial World could not yet withstand the aftershocks of a battle between Saints.

The treasure he meant was the Heavenly Dao Fierce Evil Treasure, the God-Slaying Spear. It had originally been the life-bound treasure of Beast Emperor Shen Ni, but Demon Ancestor Luohu had eventually claimed it. Its killing aura and demonic power could even destroy Saints.

"I'd like to see what other tricks you have!"

Demon Lord Jidu entered the Space Rift, then battled Dong Wanggong in the Chaos.

In this battle, countless Archaic Stars and billions upon billions of dimensional micro-worlds were reduced to dust, obliterated by their power.

The battle went on for who knew how long.

Blood trickled from the corner of Dong Wanggong's mouth. The purple-gold light on the Tai Xu Divine Armor and Primordial Measure Ruler had dimmed. He frantically refined the energy within the Chaos Bead as he fought Demon Lord Jidu.

Seeing this, Demon Lord Jidu's mouth twitched.

After billions of exchanges, an ordinary Late Quasi-Saint would have been utterly defeated. But Dong Wanggong was like a cockroach, relying on the Tai Xu Divine Armor to withstand his attacks.

Demon Lord Jidu had even exhausted many of his techniques, yet still couldn't erase Dong Wanggong.

"Hmph!"

"I've fought you for a long time. I've given you more than enough face. Now it's time for you to die!"

"God-Slaying Spear, destroy!"

Demon Lord Jidu stopped holding back and brought out the Heavenly Dao Fierce Evil Treasure, the God-Slaying Spear. Slaughter Divine Marks and Demonic Divine Marks glimmered darkly.

Nine Nether Demonic Fire blazed, forming an indestructible demonic armor around Demon Lord Jidu.

Cold, proud, domineering, fierce!

Demon Lord Jidu revealed the full might of the Demonic Path.

"You really are Demon Ancestor Luohu's own son. He actually gave you the God-Slaying Spear. Too bad once you're defeated, this Heavenly Dao Fierce Evil Treasure will be mine!"

"Fourth Form of Strength, Dao Falls into Samsara!"

Dong Wanggong spoke slowly, and his aura sank into stillness.

The Yin-Yang Law, Space Law, and Immortal Dao Law all receded into his body. Only the Law of Strength remained, suppressing the three thousand realms and stirring endless transformations.

One force shattered ten thousand laws!

"Come on!"
