After all, even in clashes between Daluo Golden Immortals or Quasi-Saints, victory and defeat were often decided in a single thought.
All the more so for beings on Hongjun and Houtu's level.
To them, so-called divine arts, Dao techniques, and the like had long since lost their meaning.
This had been a pure contest between the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel and the Earth Dao Divine Wheel from the outset.

With an angry shout, Houtu leaped straight onto the Earth Dao Divine Wheel.
She stepped down, radiating a transcendent air
