Laozi did not speak to Dijiang. Instead, he stared coldly at Daochen. "I shall erase your existence and restore a clear, unclouded sky to the Heavenly Dao."
Laozi's words all but shattered the firmament. No one could fail to understand what they meant.
He actually intended to erase the Demon Emperor. That was no different from declaring war on the Heavenly Court.

Everyone was utterly stunned.
Daochen laughed heartily. "Certainly, certainly. So long as you have the ability, I'll sit right here and let you try to kill me."
Daochen laughed without a care. If Laozi truly had that ability, why would he stand here running his mouth and making a nuisance of himself? All he would gain was a reputation for daring to challenge the Demon Emperor.

The entire Primordial World seemed to face the apocalypse once more, as though it might be destroyed at any moment.
Everyone was terrified and scrambled to find somewhere safe.
They were also astonished. They had never expected a single sentence from Daochen to shake the Heavenly Dao. Was Daochen going to wage war
