Daochen shuddered and turned toward the Beyond Lands.
"You were the one who acted, weren't you? It must have been you. It seems the matter between us will have to be settled someday."
Daochen felt helpless, and a lingering fear remained. That evil temperament, intent on destroying heaven and earth, had even made him wonder whether it was truly his own.
And with Daochen's breakthrough...
Powerful figures throughout the Primordial World were struck with indescribable shock.
Laozi and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had only just finished reeling from Nüwa's breakthrough.
Then they sensed Daochen's breakthrough as well.
Moreover, this was a breakthrough into a major realm.
Even the Heavenly Dao had bestowed merit. One could only imagine how perilous this breakthrough had been.
Daochen had reached the fifth heaven in one leap. The growth of his cultivation had become terrifying.
Laozi gave a bitter smile. "No one can face Demon Emperor Daochen alone. I even suspect that the four of us together might be no match for him."
The Heavenly Court had grown far stronger again. Daochen had reached the fifth heaven, and Nüwa had reached the peak of the second heaven. The Heavenly Court's strength already far surpassed theirs.
The Primordial Heavenly Venerable, however, breathed a sigh of relief. Daochen had finally broken through.
As long as his cultivation remained far ahead, the alliance between the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the other three would remain unbreakable.
He had his own little calculations, too. He knew he could not unite the four of them through his own strength alone. Even with Laozi, their eldest senior brother, it would not work.
No one was willing to bow beneath another. As long as there was the slightest chance to resist, none of them would let it slip by.
