Before his words had even faded, Bai Ze suddenly shuddered violently, then spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
Only after a full hundred thousand li did he barely manage to stabilize himself.
It was a contradictory sight. Zhou Qing stood above the nine heavens, yet his aura surged throughout the heavens and the universe.
It was as though he himself were the embodiment of an infinite cosmos.
Without question, this was an aura only attainable through an ultimate level of cultivation.
That only made him appear even more unfathomable and terrifying.
Bai Ze steadied the roiling blood and Mana within him, staring at Zhou Qing in horror.
That earlier strike had already demonstrated Zhou Qing's strength.
As a Saint, supreme and unparalleled, Zhou Qing had no need to waste words on ordinary people.
Even Bai Ze, one of the Heavenly Court's demon commanders, was unworthy!
Before Bai Ze could react, Zhou Qing began chanting another series of mysterious words.
"I was born amid the killing tribulation!"
Words Manifest as Law!
With just that simple sentence, boundless and majestic killing intent erupted forth.
Gales suddenly swept between heaven and earth, chilling all living beings to the bone.
"Blooming amidst a resplendent great age..."
Another sentence rang out, and the Saintly Might surged forth, hundreds of times more powerful than before.
At this moment, Bai Ze was beginning to waver in uncertainty!
From Zhou Qing's earlier words, he had clearly sensed the mysterious fluctuations of words becoming law.
In other words, once a word was spoken, it became a Saint's decree descending upon the world!
This truly was a terrifying method that only Saints could wield.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan finally understood!
Zhou Qing's words were not some profound truth of the Great Dao. He was reenacting his path of cultivation.
One had to know that in the world of the Dao and Buddha Origin, Zhou Qing, as the first powerhouse to attain the Great Dao, had long since transformed his cultivation path into a supreme Dao art.
It was an existence far more powerful and domineering than techniques such as divine abilities.
Thus, with every sentence he spoke, the Saintly pressure became countless times stronger.
"After passing through hundreds and thousands of lifetimes of reincarnation..."
"Rising against the world amid the killing tribulation..."
"Condensing Pangu's fleshly body, attaining the Great Dao of Strength..."
Each phrase rang like great bells and thunderous chimes, like the resonant voice of the Great Dao.
Above the nine heavens, countless phenomena filled the sky!
Great stars revolved, demonstrating the ultimate truths of the cosmos!
Yin and yang intertwined, expounding the mysteries of reincarnation!
It was a shocking sight, too dazzling to take in, leaving everyone utterly shaken.
At the same time, the Saintly Might Zhou Qing unleashed had reached an astounding degree, suppressing all worlds and causing heaven and earth to change color.
"As expected of someone who attained Primordial Unity in another world!"
Watching the scene unfold between heaven and earth, Zhou Yuan sighed in amazement.
He had originally been somewhat worried, since they were currently within a High-end Primordial World.
The power of experts from other worlds would suffer greatly when converted to the standards of this Primordial World.
However, even though Zhou Qing's strength was suppressed within this Primordial World, he remained terrifying beyond compare throughout all eternity.
Now, as for Bai Ze!
Zhou Qing's reenactment of his cultivation path was akin to creating another Primordial Unity-level powerhouse to protect humanity, but to Bai Ze, it was enough to make his heart and gallbladder split apart.
However, Zhou Qing already knew that Bai Ze was the leader of the demon race.
Therefore, as long as he could intimidate Bai Ze, today's objective would be achieved.
Mana circulated within Bai Ze's body, and his blood and qi surged like an overturned river, rumbling endlessly.
Only then did he temporarily withstand Zhou Qing's terrifying pressure.
"What exactly do you want?"
Bai Ze's face twisted. He exhausted all his strength before forcing those few words from his mouth to question Zhou Qing.
"Demon race, if you do not retreat now, then when I return, I will slaughter every last one of you!"
"Retreat or die!"
Zhou Qing remained solemn and dignified. As his words fell, an unquestionable dominance radiated from him, shaking heaven and earth!
The Power of a Primordial Unity: Even the Demon Emperors Must Bow Their Heads!
Between heaven and earth, all living beings turned their eyes toward them and held their breath in anticipation!
They wanted to know what choice Bai Ze would make!
After all, the demon race had come today under Bai Ze's leadership to trouble humanity.
Yet they had encountered a terrifying powerhouse as unfathomable as Zhou Qing.
Would this trigger an earth-shattering battle?
Or would the demon race admit defeat and withdraw in disgrace?
Bai Ze covertly glanced beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, pondering silently.
He knew that Di Jun and Tai Yi had long been aware of what was happening in Divine Capital Luoyang today and were watching it closely.
Yet neither of them had sent him a divine message ordering him to return to the Heavenly Court.
That meant Di Jun and Tai Yi did not wish to abandon their plans for humanity.
After all, for endless ages, the witch and demon races had warred without cease, irreconcilable as fire and water.
Thus, the importance of the Witch-Slaying Sword to the demon race was self-evident.
"Zhou Qing..."
Bai Ze hesitated, just about to persuade Zhou Qing to give up protecting humanity.
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Qing had already seen through his thoughts.
"I have already given you a chance!"
"Since you refuse to retreat, then be buried here forever!"
Before his words faded, Zhou Qing lightly swept his sleeve.
Rumble!
In an instant, the sky thundered without end as enormous spatial rifts appeared one after another.
Overwhelming killing intent spread forth, sending chills down everyone's spine as it descended directly upon Bai Ze.
"You..."
Bai Ze was horrified. He had not expected Zhou Qing to be so fierce and decisive, attacking the moment their words disagreed.
Sensing the absolute killing intent within Zhou Qing's strike, Bai Ze had no time to think. His figure flashed, and he fled hundreds of thousands of li away.
Yet Zhou Qing's strength was truly terrifying. His sleeve now swelled with the wind, blotting out the sky and covering the earth as it came down, determined to suppress and kill Bai Ze.
There was nowhere to evade!
There was nowhere to retreat!
Bai Ze's eyes nearly split open. His Mana surged as he pushed his divine consciousness to its limit.
"Break!"
He roared, unleashing the entirety of his cultivation.
Bai Ze had originally taken human form from an auspicious divine beast. He understood the emotions of all things and knew the appearances and characteristics of all beings under heaven.
He wanted to use his innate divine ability to discern a flaw in Zhou Qing's attack and escape his predicament.
Yet Bai Ze grew even more horrified!
"No flaw? How is that possible?"
Upon probing it, Zhou Qing's strike was simply flawless and impenetrable, without the slightest chance of survival.
At this moment, in Bai Ze's eyes, Zhou Qing was like the manifestation of the Great Dao itself.
Every movement he made was bolstered by boundless Great Dao power.
With a thought, he could create all things in heaven and earth!
With a thought, he could destroy the heavens and shatter the universe!
It was a scene of indescribable terror!
Finally, the strike landed, and Bai Ze's fleshly body instantly exploded, turning into a rain of blood that scattered through the sky.
"Demon Emperor, save me!"
