Jiang Yan stood in the void, three-colored flames flowing slowly around him.
Now, however, he had gained the most direct understanding of just how terrifying the Five-Colored Divine Light was.
He had sensed that when the Five-Colored Divine Light swept past moments earlier, even his Fire Origin Dao had stalled for an instant.
The Five-Colored Divine Light could sweep away anything, almost shattering every tangible and intangible thing in the world. It was a Dao of slaughter born from comprehending the Five Elements Dao to its utmost limit, domineering and uncanny in the extreme.
Had Jiang Yan not already gained an initial grasp of the true Origin Dao, imbuing all his divine abilities with its profound mysteries and breaking free of the confines of the five elements and yin and yang, that earlier clash would likely have seen his mighty flame divine ability swept away entirely by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
Even his origin power would have been difficult to preserve.
He himself might even have been struck by the Five-Colored Divine Light, leaving his Dao Foundation damaged.
Precisely for that reason, Jiang Yan had candidly admitted that, in a one-on-one fight, he would probably fall a notch short of this ancient Buddha Venerable.
Even so, Jiang Yan felt not the slightest fear. Instead, he remained calm and composed.
After all, today's confrontation did not require him to fight alone.
At his side were Qin Feng, the sect's Fourth Elder, and Li Longzi, its Saint Son.
Leaving Elder Qin Feng's strength aside for the moment, Li Longzi wielded the Destiny Dao.
It was one of the most mysterious and unfathomable Daos across all the heavens and worlds, capable of piercing heavenly secrets, predicting fortune and disaster, reversing cause and effect, and throwing minds into turmoil.
