Dao Ancestor Hongjun's near-ultimatum words crashed through the Purple Cloud Palace like thunder!
The originally calm, restrained aura around Ming Xin instantly turned sharp!
The radiance of ten perfected Great Dao laws faintly emerged behind him, interweaving into a Chaos-colored canopy that subtly resisted the Heavenly Dao Rules within the Purple Cloud Palace!
His gaze was as sharp as a blade as he stared fixedly at Dao Ancestor Hongjun, his voice carrying suppressed fury and confusion:
"Dao Ancestor! May this poor monk ask... why?!"
His voice echoed through the empty hall. "Is it because I attained the Primordial Limitless realm and may challenge your status and authority? Is that why you want to drive me out, even at the cost of a battle?!"
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, the atmosphere instantly tensed to the extreme! The gazes of two beings standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial World collided fiercely in midair, as though invisible sparks were flying!
The laws shrieked soundlessly, space twisted faintly, and the entire Purple Cloud Palace seemed to tremble beneath the wills of the two supreme beings!
A terrifying battle capable of overturning the Primordial World seemed ready to erupt at any moment!
Yet, the terrifying aura around Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which had been held in check but not released, slowly receded like the tide after several breaths of stalemate.
The solemn, icy expression on his face vanished, replaced by a deep... exhaustion and dejection.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun seemed to have aged greatly in an instant. He slowly sat back down upon the cloud bed and let out a long, heavy sigh, his voice full of helplessness and bitterness:
"Sigh... In your eyes, fellow Daoist, does this daoist... truly have no tolerance for others at all?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Ming Xin
