Heaven Defied Has Exceptions, Defying Me Is Impossible
From the start of the fight to its end, it was only a matter of breaths, and Mosquito Daoist was already kneeling before Ling Xiao, begging for his life.
All of this happened so fast that all the creatures watching the battle were caught off guard.
They had expected this to be a spectacular battle, one where even if Mosquito Daoist was no match, he would at least force Ling Xiao to reveal some of his skills.
Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, Ling Xiao only extended one finger and stood there without moving an inch.
With one hand behind his back and his finger as a sword, he slashed the Mosquito Daoist to pieces, leaving him with no spare organs. The Mosquito Daoist knelt down, begging for mercy and pleading for his life.
Disappointment!
So disappointing!
"Tch! I thought he was some kind of genius, but he can't even beat one of their fingers."
Qiangliang said with a disdainful look, sat back in his chair, and crossed his legs.
All that enthusiasm he poured his heart and soul into, and this is the result?
Wasting emotions.
"Haha, this only adds to the laughter." Houyi, Xingtian, and the other shamans all laughed, and the hall was filled with a joyful and cheerful atmosphere.
Outside, all the Primordial Origin Sage were filled with shock, for they had seen more than ordinary people.
Although it was an extremely brief battle, it was not difficult to see the enormous gap between the two, with Ling Xiao being excessively powerful.
They even discovered a Dao they had never seen before; that seemingly ordinary finger held an unstoppable destructive power.
It's not that Mosquito Daoist knelt down so quickly; Ling Xiao was simply too strong, stronger than anyone could have imagined.
He didn't even use the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Those who had just thought that the difference between Mosquito Daoist and Ling Xiao was not significant fell silent, speechless.
Mosquito Daoist knelt on the Sea of Blood, trembling and begging for mercy. His body shook like a leaf, revealing his immense fear.
He was once again brought back to reality, realizing the gap between himself and Ling Xiao.
I had hoped to put up a good fight, to play with style, and to put up a beautiful fight.
But to my surprise, he couldn't even withstand a single finger; he was forced to his knees in no time, losing both his prestige and face.
At this moment, Mosquito Daoist felt only endless regret and prayed that Ling Xiao would spare his life.
Ling Xiao remained expressionless, looking down at the Mosquito Daoist kneeling before him, his eyes filled with majesty, an invisible pressure enveloping Youming.
"Mosquito Daoist, I haven't finished instructing you yet, why have you knelt down?"
Upon hearing this, Mosquito Daoist felt a chill and quickly waved his hand.
"Enough, enough. I know the gap between myself and the Dao Venerable is enormous. These two simple moves have already given me immense benefit and many insights."
He looked serious, his eyes filled with reverence, as if he had found a priceless treasure.
Ling Xiao laughed, but his smile was somewhat cold. "In my opinion, this is just the beginning. Since you've benefited so much, then I'll give you a few more pointers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao slapped Mosquito Daoist across the face.
Then came a brutal beating.
He showed no mercy and his methods were extremely cruel. The Mosquito Daoist's screams echoed endlessly in the netherworld and reverberated between heaven and earth.
It is a sound that would break the heart and bring tears to the eyes of anyone who hears it; just by listening to the sound, one can imagine the cruel scene.
It took a long time for the situation to gradually calm down.
Ling Xiao finally withdrew his hand from the Nether Sea of Blood, feeling much better afterward.
Mosquito Daoist was hanging on by a thread, teetering on the brink of death countless times. The inhuman torture had left him dazed and his Daoist heart on the verge of collapse.
That concludes today's guidance.
Ling Xiao said with a smile, but in Mosquito Daoist's eyes, that smile was no different from a demon's.
Wait... what do you mean by "that's all for today"?
Judging from this... does it mean there's still tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that?
Mosquito Daoist panicked immediately, "Dao... Dao Venerable's guidance has benefited me immensely; I couldn't possibly digest it all in a hundred million years."
"I think we won't need it after tomorrow, right?"
He chuckled dryly, a rather unsightly laugh, his gaunt old face resembling an unbloomed daisy.
"Oh? No need for that. I see your cultivation is not stable and needs more polishing. Anyway, I have time, and I guarantee that your cultivation will be stable and grow rapidly."
Ling Xiao said with a smile, as if to say, "You don't need to be polite with me."
"I..."
The Mosquito Daoist could no longer hold back and began kowtowing repeatedly, "Dao Venerable, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again, please let me go."
"From now on, I will do whatever you tell me to do, obey your orders, and serve you like a beast of burden without daring to utter a single complaint."
He really chickened out and suppressed his ulterior motives.
What boundless ambition?
Fuck you.
I almost got beaten to death!
Nothing is more important than being alive.
"Heh, now you know you were wrong? Where's your courage from before?"
Ling Xiao sneered, his eyes flashing with cold light. If it weren't for the Primordial Taiji, he would have swatted Mosquito Daoist to death long ago.
The mosquito's only redeeming quality is its ability to adapt to different terrains.
"I truly know my mistake. I did not intend to offend the Dao Venerable. It was simply because I was overjoyed at breaking through to the Primordial Taiji, and thus I couldn't help myself."
Mosquito Daoist explained, a look of regret on his face.
Ling Xiao's gaze was incredibly deep, as if it could see through Mosquito Daoist's eyes and into his heart.
This sent a chill down the latter's spine. Just as he was about to continue explaining, Ling Xiao spoke first.
"Alright, that's enough for now. We'll see how you behave. If I discover you have any ill intentions again, you'll face the consequences."
After speaking, Ling Xiao's figure gradually faded and disappeared.
Mosquito Daoist nodded repeatedly until he could no longer sense Ling Xiao's presence. Only then did he raise his head, still shaken, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, he plunged into the Sea of Blood and disappeared, hurrying off to cultivate.
A battle that was expected to be earth-shattering ended in such a way that people felt it was absurd.
I have gained a deeper understanding of Ling Xiao's power.
Even a master of the Primordial Taiji from the Sea of Blood couldn't budge a single finger of his.
Where can I seek justice?
After their initial excitement, the powerful figures began to cultivate diligently, making the most of every second. They hadn't forgotten that a celestial blade still hung over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.
The time of 100,000 years is fast approaching. Soon, beings from the Origin True Realm will descend. The more strength we have, the safer we will be.
The entire Primordial World, from top to bottom, entered a state of frenzied cultivation.
This isn't about cultivating for others, it's about cultivating for yourself.
The benefits brought by the creation of the world were enormous. The improvement and expansion of the world's essence made all the creatures in the Primordial World extraordinary.
His cultivation speed is several times faster than before.
The disciples of various sects and cults are even more extraordinary, especially those sects such as Shouyang Sect, White Elephant Sect, and Green Lion Sect, which possess Primordial Origin Sage.
With guidance from Sage, cultivation progresses at an unstoppable, almost like riding a rocket.
Millennia pass in the blink of an eye.
Within the Heavenly Dao, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, his expression solemn.
"The arrival of the Origin True Realm is less than ten thousand years away..."
