Although the Heavenly Dao had forcibly built him up to the late Primordial Origin Realm,
he was still in the late Primordial Origin Realm, after all.
He could even make rudimentary use of the power of time and space.
Thus,
the Heavenly Dao Sage tore straight through space, putting a vast distance between them in an instant.
Yet Beast Emperor Shen Ni's spear did not stop.
Instead, it cleaved Zixiao Palace apart.
He had long found Zixiao Palace an eyesore.
Not striking before did not mean he had not wanted to.
Now, he had taken the opportunity to cleave Zixiao Palace apart.
The Aura of Zixiao Palace was imposing and majestic, seemingly immense.
Yet beneath Beast Emperor Shen Ni's spear, it shattered into fragments that filled the sky.
Of course,
this was a meaningless act.
For the Heavenly Dao,
creating another Zixiao Palace required no more than a thought.
But the problem was,
Zixiao Palace was the Heavenly Dao Sage's sanctuary.
It represented the Heavenly Dao Sage's face.
Now, that face had been trampled underfoot.
If the Heavenly Dao Sage could not repay the insult,
he could forget about ever holding his ground in the Primordial World again.
What mattered most in the Primordial World?
Resources.
Life.
Face.
Especially for those supreme experts,
their resources were already sufficient, and their lives were under no threat.
Face was what mattered most.
Only experts who retained their face could earn the respect of the Primordial World Creatures.
An expert who had lost face would not command sincere respect even from the weak.
They might flatter him aloud while mocking him in their hearts.
Beast Emperor Shen Ni now commanded the respect of countless creatures in the Primordial World.
Aside from his formidable strength,
his deeds had also earned him tremendous goodwill.
