Immortal Chief Falls, Snatching the Cane from the Tiger's Jaws

Di Jun and Taiyi stood in the air, their cold gazes sweeping over the bare crater below.

Both of them were slightly stunned.

Taiyi quickly came to his senses and threw back his head in unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha! Dong Wang Gong, you fool!"

"On the verge of death, and even your own dojo and stronghold have been stripped clean!"

"The dignified Chief of the Male Immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor has fallen to such a state. Truly the greatest joke in the Primordial World since ancient times!"

Taiyi's mockery was like poisoned blades stabbing fiercely into Dong Wang Gong's heart.

Dong Wang Gong trembled all over as he rose from the crater, his hair disheveled and his eyes already blood-red.

His foundation had been destroyed, his reserves seized, and powerful enemies surrounded him.

He knew very well that no matter what happened today, he had absolutely no chance of surviving!

At the height of his despair, a mad, violent urge to perish together with his enemies erupted from the depths of his heart!

"Di Jun! Taiyi!"

Dong Wang Gong let out a shrill roar. Every inch of his skin cracked apart as he frantically ignited his endless Innate Pure Yang Origin!

He was burning his Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!

"I am the Immortal Chief ordained by fate! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"

"Rumble!"

The void trembled as a Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, carved entirely from Nine Heavens Divine Jade, howled out from above his head!

It was the supreme treasure personally bestowed by the Dao Ancestor—the Dragon-Headed Cane!

Dong Wang Gong poured all his remaining mana and the ultimate power gained by burning his Dao Fruit into the cane!

"Roar—!!"

The Dragon-Headed Cane erupted with incomparably brilliant nine-colored divine radiance, rapidly expanding against the wind in midair.

It transformed into nine Pure Yang azure dragons that covered the heavens and blotted out the sun!

The azure dragons tore through the sky, carrying the mighty heavenly authority of punishment on Heaven's behalf and a force of destruction.

They charged fiercely at Di Jun and Taiyi!

This strike was Dong Wang Gong's final counterattack, staking everything on one desperate gamble. Its power had even briefly touched the threshold of the Quasi-Saint realm!

Yet faced with such a world-destroying assault, Taiyi's eyes held not the slightest fear. Instead, his fighting spirit surged wildly.

"Before me, how dare you speak of Heaven?!"

Taiyi raised his head and let out a long howl, his body suddenly swelling as he manifested the Three-Legged Golden Crow's true form!

"Dong—!!!"

Taiyi slammed both claws viciously against the Chaos Bell!

At that moment, the supreme divine might of the Innate supreme treasure erupted in full!

The distant, ancient bell chime swept through heaven and earth, suppressing the vast primordial cosmos!

Earth, water, fire, and wind were forcibly frozen the instant the bell rang.

All space within a hundred thousand miles became an absolute domain of confinement!

The nine ferocious Pure Yang azure dragons froze abruptly in midair the instant they touched the bell's ripples.

Then, shaken by the supreme treasure's immense power, the nine azure dragons let out mournful cries.

They exploded into fragments of Pure Yang energy that filled the sky!

"Seal!"

Di Jun also swept his sleeve. The River Chart and Luo Writing evolved into the Innate Eight Trigrams.

They completely sealed off every route of escape and every crack in the void around Dong Wang Gong.

"Die!"

Bearing the Chaos Bell's might and wreathed in the purest Solar True Fire, Taiyi became a golden comet of destruction and smashed fiercely into Dong Wang Gong's chest!

"Crack—!!"

The piercing sound of breaking bones resounded through heaven and earth.

Before the Chaos Bell's devastating power, Dong Wang Gong's physical body and Three Flowers on the Crown

were like sand sculptures weathered for tens of millions of years. They instantly collapsed, eventually becoming ashes that filled the sky!

Only a tenacious remnant of his damaged true spirit slipped through a spatial rift torn open by the clash of supreme treasures.

It silently fled into the deepest nothingness of the Primordial World and vanished without a trace.

The first Chief of the Male Immortals since the Primordial World's creation had completely fallen in body!

At this moment, the earth-shaking battle above the Eastern Sea

made the Three Pure Ones at Mount Kunlun, Nuwa and Fuxi at Mount Fengqi,

as well as Ancestor Minghe of the Netherworld Blood Sea and other supreme divine beings, feel their hearts sink abruptly.

The tyrannical combat strength Taiyi displayed, along with the nearly unsolvable suppressive power of the Chaos Bell,

made every great power in the Primordial World feel bone-deep chills.

The killing aura of the calamity had already grown dense to the extreme.

At the center of the battlefield, the violent energy storm had yet to subside.

"Buzz—!"

Having lost its master, the Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Dragon-Headed Cane, let out a mournful wail.

It transformed into a dazzling nine-colored streak of light and flew backward through the turbulent currents, instinctively fleeing into the distance.

"A Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure! Come to me!"

Taiyi's eyes shone brightly. He immediately extended a golden Golden Crow claw that covered the heavens and blotted out the sun.

Tearing through the void, it lunged straight for the Dragon-Headed Cane!

With Taiyi's speed, in less than one ten-millionth of an instant,

the sharp tips of his claws had already touched the protective treasure-light radiating from the cane!

However, at that critical moment!

"Buzz!"

Li Qingxiao, who had remained motionless within a rift in the void, struck decisively!

He made no unnecessary movements.

The Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus's extreme-speed spatial purification domain abruptly unfolded before the Dragon-Headed Cane in an instant!

Ten Thousand Laws Immunity!

Taiyi's Solar True Fire and violent pressure, powerful enough to boil rivers and scorch seas, were

instantly purified and dissolved like mud bulls sinking into the sea the moment they touched that pure white domain!

Then, the Chaos Gourd floating above the White Lotus trembled lightly.

"Hiss!"

An incomparably profound Chaos vortex appeared out of thin air before the Dragon-Headed Cane.

A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted!

Not only was the fleeing Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Dragon-Headed Cane, instantly pulled into the vortex,

even the purest cluster of Innate Pure Yang Origin Core left behind in the void after Dong Wang Gong's body shattered

was swallowed whole by the Chaos vortex in a single gulp!

"Whoosh!"

A flash of light passed. The vortex contracted, and the void returned to calm.

Meanwhile, Taiyi's Golden Crow claw, certain to seize its target, grabbed fiercely at empty space and crushed nothing but a patch of formless air!

The entire process was unbelievably fast, leaving behind not even the faintest trace of mana fluctuations!

"Who was that?!"

Taiyi stared at his empty palm, and the wild joy on his face instantly froze.

It was then replaced by boundless fury and humiliation!

Right beneath the eyes of Taiyi, the mighty Golden Crow, at the very instant it was about to fall into his grasp,

the supreme treasure had actually been snatched away!

"What petty rat dares steal treasure before our very eyes?! Get out here!!"

Taiyi flew completely into a rage, wildly smashing the Chaos Bell in every direction!

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The void across tens of thousands of miles was smashed into vast swaths of annihilation, turning into a dead land of chaos!

Di Jun's expression was also livid, imperial pressure surging wildly around him.

He immediately summoned the River Chart and Luo Writing. Blood essence dripped from his fingertips as he pushed the Innate Eight Trigrams to their limits, calculating the secrets of Heaven and karmic causality,

trying to tear the hidden attacker to pieces!

Yet no matter how frantically the River Chart and Luo Writing calculated, the heavenly secrets contained only a patch of utterly pure white vastness.

Karmic causality had been completely purified, and the heavenly secrets were tightly obscured!

There was no past, no future, not even the faintest wandering trace of aura to be found!
