That mark, however, was a phantom projected from the little beast's blood-red eyes.
At that moment, the old Daoist's mind shattered. A terror like plunging into an abyss seized his heart!
The old Heaven-and-Earth Daoist had truly seen the world.
After all, every living creature on the Primordial Continent had been formed from Pan Gu.
Only the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, born before Pan Gu’s World-Opening, had emerged from the depths of chaos just as Pan Gu had, born as Primordial Great Unity Immortals!
And the old Heaven-and-Earth Daoist's true self was the Heaven-and-Earth Demon God, one of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods who had escaped Pan Gu's Heaven-Opening Divine Axe.
Yet at that moment.
As an avatar of the Heaven-and-Earth Demon God, the old Heaven-and-Earth Daoist felt boundless terror from the phantom of a red stone mill emanating from this Little Beast Emperor.
Meanwhile, although he was already trapped within the [Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice Seal] divine ability and unable to move, how could the Daoist Yin-Yang, whose cultivation had reached the peak supreme golden immortal realm, possibly surrender without a fight?
In that very instant.
"Flight through the void is forbidden here!"
The Heaven-and-Earth Daoist shouted those words.
An unimaginably terrifying aura of power immediately enveloped an area spanning millions of miles!
His words became law!
The Heaven-and-Earth Yin-Yang Method!
The Little Beast Emperor, who had moved unhindered and even faster within the [Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice Seal] divine ability, was forbidden from flying!
He fell to the ground!
At the same time, this law that made words reality caused the red millstone phantom formed by the Little Beast Emperor's blood-red eyes to dissipate immediately before the Heaven-and-Earth Daoist!
But this divine ability of making words law was already the Heaven-and-Earth Daoist's final struggle!
After he shouted the divine law, "Flight is forbidden here"!
The Heaven-and-Earth Daoist's once thick, black hair and beard immediately turned snow-white.
This divine ability had consumed an immense amount of his energy and primordial spirit!
Standing calmly tens of thousands of miles away, Lin Tian naturally would not let the Little Beast Emperor fight alone.
The nine nether vines, which had already formed the Eight-Direction Hongmeng Heaven-and-Earth Cage Formation, unleashed another strike of the true innate divine ability he had possessed ever since coming to this world: Bloodthirst.
At the same time.
Lin Tian unleashed two divine abilities, Bloodthirst and Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice Seal!
As the Bloodthirst divine ability was unleashed.
Countless nine nether vines lurking beneath the golden strike wood pierced the ground and burst from the soil like spirit snakes!
Like tentacles, they reached toward the old Heaven-and-Earth Daoist!
The nine nether vines immediately trussed the Heaven-and-Earth Daoist up and began using Bloodthirst!
At the same time, system notifications rang out incessantly in Lin Tian's sea of consciousness.
"Congratulations! You have devoured a strand of Heaven and Earth Origin qi. Evolution points +8,000!" "Congratulations! You have devoured a strand of Heaven and Earth Origin qi. Evolution points +7,800!" "Congratulations! You have devoured a strand of Heaven and Earth Origin qi. Evolution points +8,500!"
The Heaven-and-Earth Daoist, who had still intended to make one final struggle.
Was instead struck senseless by the simultaneous assault of Bloodthirst and Ten-Thousand-Mile Ice Seal.
He was crushed until both his spirit and body withered.
His once full, radiant face, youthful beneath his crane-white hair, rapidly shriveled!
Like a tender shoot suddenly thrust into autumn, he withered in an instant.
At that moment, the Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor was trussed up by the nine nether vines, with nowhere to retreat, utterly besieged.
"What is going on? This spirit plant's divine abilities are extraordinarily strange, and they carry terrifying destructive power. Even I can barely withstand them!"
"Damn it! My cultivation is at the peak supreme golden immortal realm, two whole major realms above this spirit plant, yet I'm being utterly suppressed!"
"This infuriates me!"
The Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor activated the innate divine ability within his peak supreme golden immortal body.
At that moment, he had no option left but Liberation by Violence.
Moreover, if he immediately performed Liberation by Violence here and fled into the distance with a wisp of his primordial spirit.
For the Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor, who had weathered countless grand upheavals and seen so much of the world, it would be unbearably humiliating.
Without question, he refused to accept such an outcome. After all, within him remained a trace of the will of his true self, the Heaven-and-Earth Demon God.
That was, as one of the very greatest mighty beings on the Primordial Continent.
He absolutely could not bow so easily to any junior.
For the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods who had already experienced Pan Gu’s World-Opening.
Their cultivation had already reached the Primordial Great Unity realm.
Their ultimate aim was no longer to live a hundred years or ascend on the spot, those aspirations in life held by ordinary heavenly immortals and creatures of the Primordial World.
Their goal was to become heavenly Dao saints of the Primordial Continent, then merge with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.
Every innate mighty being capable of establishing a power on the Primordial Continent harbored the same ambition as Daoist Hongjun: first attain heavenly Dao sainthood, then embody the Heavenly Dao and become its representative.
This goal could be called the shared ambition and pursuit of all Primordial Great Unity Immortals.
It was precisely because of this that countless immeasurable calamities repeatedly erupted across the Primordial Continent.
If, at this moment, the Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor readily bowed to this innate spirit plant whose origins and lineage were unknown.
Then ignominiously performed Liberation by Violence and fled with a wisp of his primordial spirit.
He would forever cut off his own path to further advancement, for his Dao heart would already have shattered.
With this thought, the Heaven-and-Earth Daoist immediately manifested the Innate Spiritual Treasure that served as the foundation of his avatar—the Heaven-and-Earth Ruler!
This innate spirit treasure was, in fact, what his true self, the Heaven-and-Earth Demon God, had relied upon to escape the heavenly axe with which Pan Gu Creating Heaven and Earth slew the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods!
It was also the foundation upon which his primordial spirit would depend to flee after this avatar performed Liberation by Violence.
At this moment, the Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor steadied his mind, no longer willing to perform Liberation by Violence and flee.
Above his head, he summoned the Heaven-and-Earth Ruler, only three feet long, yet radiating might that blanketed heaven and earth!
When the Heaven-and-Earth Ruler was summoned.
The red millstone phantom that the Little Beast Emperor had condensed before the old Heaven-and-Earth Daoist, bearing the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, was immediately driven back thousands of miles!
The Little Beast Emperor howled and tumbled as the Heaven-and-Earth Ruler's aura swept him backward tens of thousands of miles!
He was hurled straight back to Lin Tian's feet.
At the same time.
The Heaven-and-Earth Ruler vanished from above the old Heaven-and-Earth Daoist's head as though teleporting!
Suddenly.
It appeared above Lin Tian's head, ten thousand miles away.
Bathed in vast magical power, the ruler gleaming with a deep azure light expanded without limit in an instant. A stream of xuanhuang qi descended from the sky, transforming directly into an enormous golden bridge spanning heaven and earth!
In a flash!
With a single thought from the Heaven-and-Earth Ancestor, the Heaven-and-Earth Ruler bore down across the heads of Lin Tian and the Little Beast Emperor!
