Houtu: As expected of you, you actually dared to show up?
This loud shout was very abrupt and shocking.
His tone, in particular, was arrogant; he even directly rebuked Houtu.
The main character has arrived!
Upon hearing this voice, the thought involuntarily arose in the minds of the creatures.
Then they looked in the direction of the sound to see who was so bold.
Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, a young Daoist priest holding a whisk arrived riding on auspicious clouds. He had a peaceful face and looked completely harmless.
But upon closer inspection, there's a hint of something unnatural about the corner of his mouth.
"The Golden Crow is such a jerk, I don't know where it ran off to, I'll have to hold it off for now."
"Houtu is so powerful, can I withstand her?"
This seemingly amiable and prosperous young Daoist priest was none other than Yang Mei, the Space Demon God.
"Hey! Who are you, you little brat? Trying to get yourself killed?"
Eager to prove himself, Minghe immediately stepped forward and shouted a rebuke.
"Heh, I never thought that Slaughter would come to this day, devoured by a fool like you."
Yang Mei didn't respond, and seeing Minghe's mocking reply, he felt a pang of sadness.
Of the demon gods who came to the Primordial World last time, only I survived; the others either perished or were devoured.
"Insolence! You brat, you're asking for death!"
Minghe paused, his expression turning to one of terrifying fury. He then raised his hand and pointed, unleashing a burst of Slaughter intent that hurtled straight towards Yang Mei's head.
"Even the Slaughter Demon God is no match for me, let alone you?"
Yang Mei and snorted coldly. The space in front of him shifted, and when the Slaughter intent was only an inch away, it dissipated into the void and disappeared.
Minghe's gaze sharpened, still unable to discern Yang Mei's origins.
But while she could deceive the Minghe, she couldn't deceive Houtu. She shook her head and chuckled, saying, "Yang Mei, stop playing tricks and reveal your true form."
"Knowing my power, you still dare to show yourself? Could it be that you have another Chaos Demon God backing you up?"
She seemed to see through Yang Mei's thoughts; no one would dare to provoke her without someone backing them up.
Even so, Houtu remained calm; she was determined to wipe out all the demons who dared to cause trouble.
The two demons who appeared in the Earthly Dao earlier have already served as a warning.
These demons and gods cannot stand idly by and watch her devour the Heavenly Dao; they will inevitably seize the opportunity to cause trouble.
However, with her current strength, any Jidu futile.
"Yang Mei?" Minghe's eyes changed slightly, feeling a little angry. He hadn't even noticed this, which was quite embarrassing.
Houtu did not act immediately, Yang Mei felt relieved, and his smile became even brighter.
"I have no Chaos Demon God backing me up; I have now submitted to the Ling Xiao Dao Venerable."
"By the decree of the Dao Venerable and the Heavenly Dao, you cannot tamper with it."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: Ling Xiao had destroyed the Chaos Demon God's lair; where were the gods and demons now?
All the creatures watching this scene immediately erupted in clamor and excitement.
The Space God and Devil Yang Mei was subdued by Ling Xiao.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Hongjun has already been killed by Ling Xiao?
In the end, the Dao Ancestor was defeated by the Dao Venerable.
"Oh? Ling Xiao isn't dead? I never imagined that you, a dignified Space Demon God, would submit to someone else?"
Houtu was quite surprised; she had once thought that Ling Xiao and Hongjun had perished together.
Since Ling Xiao is not dead, it means that Hongjun has been killed by him.
As for why he didn't immediately return to the Primordial World, he must have been seriously injured in a fierce battle.
I've been recovering from my injury, which is why I haven't been back.
"Unfortunately... it's too late to come back now."
If we return through the Houtu secret passage before she devours Human Path, there might still be a chance.
But now, everything is already predetermined.
"A decree from the Dao Venerable?" Minghe laughed sarcastically. "Yang Mei, you must be out of your mind. Why doesn't Ling Xiao show his face himself?"
"I think you're scared and sent me here to die in vain!"
"No!"
He raised his Yang Mei, his expression unchanged, his demeanor radiant. He glanced sideways and said calmly:
"Don't blame me for not warning you, the consequences of disobeying the Dao Venerable's decree will be severe."
He was calm, and seemed to take it all for granted.
But these words sounded utterly ridiculous to the powerful figures present.
Even if Ling Xiao killed Hongjun, he would still be no match for Houtu.
Things are different now; times have changed.
Houtu now surpassed Dao Ancestor and entered a new realm.
Even if Ling Xiao returns, it will be of no use.
"Life is unpredictable, Creation is fickle," someone lamented, noting that the sudden rise of Earthly Dao Houtu had taken everyone by surprise.
Otherwise, Ling Xiao, who defeated Hongjun and the Chaos Demon God, would certainly be the strongest being in the Primordial World.
"Ling Xiao probably doesn't know what kind of being Houtu is now, yet he dares to issue a decree. How laughable!"
"To be honest, I feel that Ling Xiao is quite clever in this move. He deliberately sent Yang Mei over first to test the waters, which shows that he came prepared."
"No matter what I try, it's no use. If he dares to show up, I'll eat shit."
"Is this dog demon here to freeload?"
"..."
The powerful beings in the world were discussing among themselves, and on Mount Shouyang, the expressions of Di Jun, Ziwei, and others darkened.
"Third Brother may not know how powerful Houtu yet, so don't be foolish enough to come back!"
Di Jun thought to himself, "Although Ling Xiao has created many miracles, this time is a little different. I need to play it safe."
The Three Xiao Sisters, the Holy Mother Jin Ling, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, and Human Race all wore solemn expressions.
Now, with Houtu possessing both Dao and having broken through the Primordial Taiji, who throughout history, besides Pangu, has been able to rival her?
At this moment, Houtu hung in the void like the sun, radiating a terrifying aura that illuminated the heavens and the earth.
She had lost patience with Yang Mei's pretentious antics.
"Yang Mei, you shouldn't have been so insolent in front of me, because no one can save you. I hate the Chaos Demon God the most."
Houtu remained expressionless, her eyes flashing with cold light. As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it.
Instantly, an invisible and terrifying force, like a tsunami, pressed down on Yang Mei.
It seems like an ordinary move, but it can kill any Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Yang Mei and focused his gaze, about to use the Law of Space, but found that the Celestial Sphere was imprisoned, and time and space were completely frozen.
"Holy crap!"
He started to panic; his entire body began to crack and explode, on the verge of collapsing!
At the critical moment, another invisible force descended, and a figure radiant with light appeared in front of Yang Mei, blocking all attacks.
The world was calm and peaceful.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Only Yang Mei truly understood how terrifying it had just happened; in a mere instant, he had flirted with death countless times.
"You're quite good, calm and collected in the face of danger." Ling Xiao finally arrived.
He went to the Purple Heaven Palace, so he arrived late.
Yang Mei almost knelt down in disbelief. If Ling Xiao had arrived any later, she would have been dead.
On the surface, he remained as steady as a rock, appearing as if he dared not take credit for anything.
Houtu's expression changed slightly, then relaxed, and she laughed, "As expected of you, daring to show up in this situation!"
At this moment, she admired Ling Xiao's courage from the bottom of her heart.
