From the depths of the Sha Qi came muffled roars. The fiendish baleful aura accumulated over countless ages surged in from all directions like tides of black ink. In an instant, heaven and earth darkened, and sun and moon lost their light.

Beneath this suffocating curtain of Sha Qi, pairs of scarlet eyes lit up from the darkness. Greedy, savage gazes pierced through the churning mist and fixed themselves upon Donghua and Taizhen.

Low growls and piercing roars wove together into the prelude of death, foretelling that this bloody battle had become unavoidable.

"Roar!"

The instant that earthshaking roar exploded, the beast horde that had been prowling and growling within the Sha Qi seemed to have its ferocity utterly ignited by an invisible command!

The last trace of hesitation in their beastly eyes was devoured by pure brutality, turning them completely scarlet.

The next moment, the earth rumbled. Countless fiendish beasts of every shape and form, like a breached flood of primordial blood, swept toward Donghua and Taizhen with madness that threatened to tear apart everything!

Their momentum was so fierce that even the surrounding space trembled with it.

Facing the savage beast tide rushing toward them, a sharp gleam flashed through Donghua's eyes. There was no fear in them, only joy buried deep within his heart.

In Donghua's eyes, how were these life-taking fiends? They were clearly walking Heavenly Dao merit, the firmest cornerstone upon his Primordial Great Dao!

"Just in time!"

Back then, here in this very place, Donghua had witnessed the vast heavenly might of the Purple Firmament divine lightning striking the ancient fiendish beast Qiongqi.

Through comprehending that supreme intent of Heavenly Dao punishment and the destruction of all techniques, Donghua merged it with his own Pure Yang Dao and ultimately forged this Supernatural Ability.

"Pure Yang Calamity Annihilation!"

Today, he would use this lightning to cleanse away demons and evil, and forge the foundation of his Primordial Dao.

Donghua took a step forward, pressed two fingers together like a sword, and pointed straight at the sky. Without needing words, his Pure Yang Law had already resonated with the unseen punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

"Boom!!"

Above the nine heavens, there were no roiling storm clouds. Instead, a dazzling, blazing-white sea of Pure Yang lightning emerged! The lightning was supremely hard and supremely yang, resplendent as a great sun hanging in the sky, yet it contained the purest and most extreme intent of destruction.

This was lightning that carried out Heaven's punishment, created to slay all filth, evil spirits, and ill omens beneath the heavens!

As his sword fingers descended, endless golden-white divine lightning poured into the beast horde like an overturned Heavenly River, like ten thousand lightning dragons roaring as they pounced.

"Bang!!"

Wherever the lightning passed, the sight was horrifying.

Those fiendish beasts, thick-skinned and immensely powerful in demonic power, could not even let out a cry before they melted away under that supremely yang, supremely hard lightning like remnant snow meeting boiling soup. Their bodies disintegrated inch by inch from within, instantly turning into wisps of green smoke. Along with the towering Sha Qi, they were purified, annihilated, and returned to heaven and earth.

The sea of lightning raged, as though performing a grand dance of destruction. The beast tide that had been surging only moments ago was forcibly cleared away, leaving behind an enormous vacuum!

Donghua stood with his hands behind his back at the center of the lightning sea, the Dao aura around him reflecting against the lightning that filled the sky.

Donghua and Taizhen worked in perfect coordination. One wielded Pure Yang Lightning Method, radiant as the sun; the other wielded time Dao aura, ethereal as the moon. Fighting shoulder to shoulder in this secret realm thick with churning Sha Qi, they cut down fiendish beasts like grass wherever they went.

One fiend after another fell, their blood gathering into streams that wound across land once rich with spiritual beauty.

This treasured ground, still shrouded in spiritual qi only moments ago, greedily sucked up the blood as though it were alive.

Yet what nourished it was not sweet dew, but fiendish baleful blood brimming with endless death qi.

Just as the two slew another batch of ordinary fiendish beasts, three terrifying auras that had been building for a long time suddenly erupted from three incomparably tricky angles!

One swept toward Donghua on a foul wind carrying destructive force, while the other two tore through space like ghosts, launching a pincer attack on Taizhen from left and right.

"They've finally come!"

Donghua's gaze turned cold. He had been waiting for this moment.

Facing that pounce capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, his figure swayed slightly as he unleashed the Supernatural Ability Sunlight Without Trace.

Donghua's entire body seemed to become an elusive streak of light. At that critical instant, he drifted backward, effortlessly dissolving the fatal strike into nothingness.

Once he steadied himself, Donghua fixed his gaze upon his attacker.

It resembled a massive tiger, yet possessed a twisted human face. Its fangs were like halberds, and an exceedingly long Bone Whip trailed behind it. Nearly tangible fiendish savagery steamed from its body. It was none other than a descendant of Taotie, one of the Four Great Fiendish Beasts!

"Oh?" Donghua raised a brow, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "Did you think I was weaker, so you came to deal with me alone?"

"No!" Taotie growled, its voice hoarse and grating. "I can sense that you are more dangerous than that ant. That is why I, with the strongest defense, will hold you back. Once they deal with that side, the three of us will join forces and surround you to death!"

Without concealing anything, Taotie laid out their strategy in full. Arrogance and absolute confidence flickered in its cold beast eyes.

"What... confidence. You truly don't put us in your eyes."

Donghua chuckled, though there was a trace of mockery in his smile.

"Before absolute power, let me tell you—"

Whoosh—!

Before Taotie could finish speaking, an extreme sense of danger struck from behind!

Donghua did not move, but the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler in his hand had already ignored the shackles of space and abruptly appeared above Taotie's head.

The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler erupted with violet-gold divine radiance that severed yin and yang and measured heaven and earth. Carrying an icy Dao aura, it slashed straight down at Taotie's skull!

At the critical moment, Taotie abruptly spun around. Its Sha Qi surged and condensed into a savage claw, which met the ruler's edge head-on.

"Boom!"

Divine radiance and Sha Qi collided violently. How could the divine might of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler be ordinary?

With a sweeping strike, the Sha Qi claws shattered on impact. That unmatched force of recoil pierced through the void and bore straight down on Taotie's true body.

"Roar!"

Taotie's gaze abruptly tightened. In that moment of peril, the Bone Whip entwined around its tail with ominous aura stretched across before it, attempting to block the blow.

Yet the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler's might far exceeded its imagination.

The thunderous collision shook the heavens and earth. The Bone Whip held for only an instant before letting out a mournful cry and being blasted aside. The ruler's radiance did not lose momentum, crashing heavily into Taotie's chest.

"Crack!"

The sharp sound of breaking bones exploded through the air. Taotie's enormous body crashed into the ground like a falling meteor, kicking up billowing waves of dust.

It threw back its head and howled in pain and indignation. Spiderweb-like cracks covered its body, and every bone throughout it had been shattered.

"Roar!"

With another earth-shaking roar, thick, ink-black ferocious and baleful aura seemed to answer a summons, instantly enveloping Taotie's entire body as it greedily devoured the Sha Qi.

Flooded by that power, its shattered bones and savage wounds rapidly knit back together.

In the blink of an eye, the Sha Qi dispersed.

When Taotie emerged again, though its aura was somewhat unsettled, its injuries had already recovered seven or eight-tenths.

It flexed its reforged claws, its scarlet beast eyes fixed unwaveringly on Donghua, where an even more violent rage blazed.

On Taotie's twisted human face, the corners of its mouth split into a savage curve that nearly tore its face apart, mingling agony with supreme arrogance.

"Useless! Within this endless Sha Qi, I possess an undying body. Struggle all you like! Once your companion is torn to pieces, you're next!"

In response to Taotie's arrogant declaration that it could recover its wounds with Sha Qi, a cold, mocking glint flashed through Donghua's eyes.

"Trash will always be trash. No matter how many ways you have to recover, it only means I'll have to cut you down a few more times."
