17 Great Daos, battle
The center of the altar, shrouded in gray mist, was deathly silent.
Dongfang Yueming traversed space in one step and arrived at the edge of the altar.
His gaze first fell on the woman who lay collapsed in a pool of blood.
Ling Yun.
This Junior Immortal Saint, who was once high above in the Supreme Immortal Domain and regarded as a god by countless people, is now discarded on the altar like a rag.
Hearing footsteps, Ling Yun struggled to move her eyes.
When she recognized the person as Dongfang Yueming, her eyes, which had lost their luster, showed no surprise, but rather a deep calm and... despair.
As the "mother" who conceived the demonic fetus, she knew better than anyone the incredible, terrifying power that the newly born monster possessed, a power that transcended the entire universe.
That's an abyss that even Immortal Emperor would despair of!
"Buzz--!"
There are no spatial fluctuations, and no warning signs from the laws governing them!
Dongfang Yueming felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and an extreme sense of danger surged through his entire body like an electric current!
Hehehehe...
A sickeningly loud laugh exploded right next to his ears!
"Since you're here, then stay and become my food!"
The demonic fetus, standing three zhang tall and covered in dark red bone armor, had somehow appeared behind Dongfang Yueming!
Its claws, covered in sharp barbs, with a terrifying force capable of tearing apart galaxies, viciously slashed towards Dongfang Yueming's back!
This claw strike did not employ any rules.
However, with the abnormal physical talent of the Nether God Clan and the primordial power they carried at birth, this attack was enough to easily pierce through the physical body of any Immortal Saint or even Immortal Emperor, just like puncturing tofu!
In the demon's eyes, this kid, who wasn't even Immortal Emperor, would turn into a cold corpse in the next second.
"When--!!!"
A deafening metallic clang, like the striking of a great bell, shattered the silence above the altar!
A shockwave, visible to the naked eye, swept outwards from the two people, shattering the remaining altar pillars around them!
"What?!"
The demon fetus's double pupils suddenly contracted, and a human-like expression of astonishment appeared on its face.
It felt as if its claws were gripping an unshakeable piece of divine iron! The terrifying force of the recoil even made the bone spurs on its fingertips ache slightly!
"It... it didn't penetrate?!"
It stared incredulously at the seemingly tiny human figure in front of it.
You should know that although it was born prematurely, its physical strength is so great that it can absolutely roam freely in this Lower Realm!
How could it be that it couldn't even break through the defense of a Immortal Saint?!
"Is that all the strength you have?"
Dongfang Yueming slowly turned around, dusted off non-existent dust from his back, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Haven't you eaten?
Are you kidding me!
His [Origin Immortal Physique) ] was painstakingly constructed using a full thousand pieces of eighth-rank immortal gold and one hundred pieces of ninth-rank immortal gold!
In addition to its existing foundation.
Right now, he's practically a piece of ninth-grade divine iron in human skin!
Trying to break his defense with pure physical attacks?
That's wishful thinking!
"Excellent! What a fine body!"
After a brief moment of astonishment, the greed in the demon fetus's eyes surged instantly!
"No wonder you dared to dismantle my altar! Your physical body is even more perfect than those Immortal Emperor corpse puppets!"
The demonic fetus roared, no longer daring to be arrogant.
It knew that ordinary physical attacks would be of little effect against such a freak with an extreme physique.
Since the physical body can't withstand it...
"Then I'll show you what true... higher-dimensional power is!"
"Buzz--!"
A layer of eerie, grayish aura suddenly enveloped the demonic fetus.
This current of energy seemed weak, but as soon as it appeared, the surrounding space began to silently vanish. Even the remaining Dao Art of the Immortal-Abandoned Continent cried out in fear in the face of this aura, and all retreated!
[Primordial Power]!
This was no longer the "faint" aura that had clung to those Variants before, but true, pure Primordial Power!
"Before the Primordial Chaos, your proud Great Dao Laws are nothing but children's toys!"
The demonic fetus grinned maliciously, its palm enveloped in a layer of gray energy, and slammed down towards Dongfang Yueming once more!
"Die, you ant!"
The gray [Primordial Power] poured down like a celestial river, carrying an absolute sense of suppression from a higher dimension, and instantly enveloped Dongfang Yueming.
Faced with this power, the originally indestructible [Origin Immortal Physique] actually emitted a teeth-grinding "hissing" sound!
Hahaha! Did you feel it?
The demonic fetus laughed arrogantly, "This is the Primordial Chaos! This is the difference! Before the Primordial Power, your so-called powerful body is nothing but fish on a chopping board!"
"Is this your trump card?"
Enveloped in the Primordial Power, Dongfang Yueming's voice did not tremble in the slightest; instead, it exuded a chilling calmness.
"I've seen this thing before."
"The amount of it on those useless people before was too diluted."
"Yours is stronger, but it's still not enough to kill me..."
"Not enough!"
The moment the words left his mouth.
"Buzz--!!!"
An aura even more vast, powerful, and incredible than the Primordial Power of the demonic fetus erupted from Dongfang Yueming's body!
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!
Wind, thunder, force, light and darkness, time and space, life and death, yin and yang, reincarnation!
Seventeen Perfection and flawless Great Dao Laws, like seventeen pillars supporting the sky, soared from his body and plunged straight into the depths of chaos!
"What?!"
The demonic fetus's arrogant laughter abruptly stopped, its double pupils contracting violently from extreme shock, its eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!
"Ten... seventeen Great Dao?!"
"And... they're all... at the Perfection Realm?!"
At this moment, the demonic fetus was completely stunned! It felt as if its worldview had been utterly crushed!
It's important to understand that even in the [Primordial Sea], where geniuses abound and powerful individuals emerge in great numbers, those who can master 10 Great Dao are already renowned prodigies! They have a very high probability of achieving Primordial Chaos status in the future!
This native from the Lower Realm... actually possesses seventeen of them?!
And each one has reached Perfection?!
Is this even human?! This is practically a manifestation of the Great Dao!
"This is impossible! How could such a monster as you possibly have been born in this remote and impoverished place!"
For the first time, a feeling called "fear" welled up in the heart of the demonic fetus!
"Seventeen paths... return to one!"
Dongfang Yueming gave it no time to think.
Under his will, the seventeen Great Dao began to intertwine, compress, and merge wildly!
Ultimately, it transformed into a chaotic sphere of light that emitted seventeen strange lights, seemingly containing all the mysteries of the universe's birth and death!
"Boom--!!!"
Dongfang Yueming held up the ball of light and slammed it down hard against the giant claw of the demonic fetus, which was imbued with the Primordial Power!
"No!!!"
The demonic fetus let out a desperate roar!
Two forces representing the limits of different dimensions collided violently in mid-air!
"Snap!"
The Primordial Power that the Demonic Embryo was so proud of could only last for a brief moment before it shattered into pieces like broken glass before this Chaos Orb, which had fused with seventeen Perfection Great Dao!
"Pfft--!"
The sphere of light pierced through!
The demonic fetus's enormous body, covered in dark red bone armor, was instantly vaporized by this destructive force!
There was no room for resistance.
Instant kill!
"Call..."
Dongfang Yueming dispersed his power of the Great Dao, his face slightly pale, and he was panting heavily.
The fusion of seventeen methods left him feeling empty, even with his current resources.
With a casual wave of his hand, he captured the hazy ball of light left behind after the demonic fetus's demise.
This is a treasure that the demonic fetus has not yet fully digested.
A sweep of divine sense.
A burst of wild joy instantly flashed in Dongfang Yueming's weary eyes!
[Tier 10 Divine Artifact - Primordial World Embryo]!
"A tenth-tier divine artifact... I've finally got it!"
"With this, there will be no more obstacles on the path to becoming Immortal Emperor!"
He carefully put the treasure away and was about to turn around to look at the woman lying in a pool of blood.
"Um?"
He frowned and looked at the spot where Ling Yun had been lying.
It was completely empty!
Only a pool of dark red blood proved that someone had once been there.
"They ran away?"
Dongfang Yueming swept his Divine Sense across a radius of millions of miles, but found no trace of Ling Yun energy, as if it had evaporated into thin air.
"When..."
at the same time.
In another Xukong turbulence, infinitely far from the Ancient God Ruins.
A figure, stumbling and falling, was desperately trying to escape.
It is truly Ling Yun!
But at this moment, her once clear and beautiful eyes were half clear, while the other half was filled with a deep gray-black.
"Damn it... damn monster!"
"What exactly did you do to me?!"
Ling Yun clutched her head, letting out a painful roar.
Hehehehe...
A cold, weak laugh echoed in her mind.
It was the very demonic fetus that Dongfang Yueming had just "instantly killed"!
"Stop struggling, just obediently hand over control of your body to me!"
"If I hadn't taken a precaution at birth, binding a wisp of my original soul to your divine soul, I probably would have perished at the hands of that monster!"
The demonic fetus's voice was filled with barely concealed lingering fear.
"Seventeen Perfection Great Dao... Such heaven-defying talent could never have been nurtured in this wasteland!"
"It seems that my being drawn into this Lower Realm in the first place... was not a coincidence!"
It recalled the demonic figure of Dongfang Yueming and secretly vowed revenge.
"Just you wait..."
"I will avenge this humiliation a thousandfold!"
