"Hmph..."
The Earth Great Dao Origin had erupted too fiercely, too suddenly. Before Qin Hao could react, every kind of elemental World Power he had driven into Lord Zhiyuan's right fist was obliterated in an instant.
Qin Hao grunted and shot backward, a thread of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Is that... Great Dao Origin?" Qin Hao looked startled.
It was a formidable power.
Utterly unlike Great Dao Essence.
More fundamental, more perfected!
"Qin Hao."
Though he had forced Qin Hao back, Lord Zhiyuan showed no joy. His face darkened further as he fixed Qin Hao with a sinister stare. "No wonder you could kill Junior Brother Zhuyou. You've mastered such a peculiar power."
"A Sovereign Secret Art? Or is it tied to the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way you cultivate?"
Lord Zhiyuan's voice was grave.
Qin Hao's thoughts stirred. He knew Lord Zhiyuan meant World Power.
"A power you'll never master."
Qin Hao shook his head, his tone mild.
Lord Zhiyuan's expression froze, then he sneered. "I don't need to master it. I only need to kill you."
"I told you, you can't kill me. And I gave you a chance. You chose to throw it away," Qin Hao said slowly.
"What a joke! Such arrogance!" Lord Zhiyuan laughed in fury. "Who do you think you are? Yes... I admit that possessing this strength as a Half-Step Sovereign is astonishing. But I am a Sovereign at the Half-Step Great Dao!"
"If I wish to kill you, it takes but a thought!"
Killing intent surged from Lord Zhiyuan.
Qin Hao shook his head, unwilling to waste more words on him. "Good. I want to see the strength of a Sovereign who has mastered Great Dao Origin. Make your move."
"We're worlds apart! You'll regret everything you've done
