The Dao Field's Might! Fragment of Creation

At the thought of capturing Ao Changsheng and obtaining his means of severing the Primordial World, then splitting off a piece of it and steering that realm through the Chaos,

Yangmei could not help growing excited. This was something countless mighty beings in the Chaos had been unable to accomplish.

Yet how could he have known?

Although Ao Changsheng was only a Golden Immortal cultivator, his secluded cultivation Dao field was no Divine Ability or technique. It was the power of the system.

The power of a system that could truly raise Ao Changsheng's combat strength to the level of a Sage.

With Ao Changsheng now putting his full strength behind it, the divine light fired from the Eye of the Candle Dragon was even more matchless in power.

It crumbled at the first touch!

The black-and-white divine light pierced straight through Yangmei's Great Dao of Space, which had enveloped the Dao field, then blasted the hollow willow above Great Immortal Yangmei's head to pieces.

"This..."

His Dao had been pierced through in a single strike, and his Dharma image had been blasted to pieces. Even with Yangmei's cultivation nearing the attainment of the Dao, his injuries were now severe.

Yangmei's expression changed drastically. Seeing that the divine light had locked onto him and was shooting straight at his true body, he unleashed one spatial Divine Ability and spatial spell after another as though they cost nothing.

Yangmei's magic power surged as he used every means at his disposal, continuously attacking the black-and-white divine light.

But the black-and-white divine light seemed impervious to all techniques. Despite the Divine Abilities Yangmei unleashed, its glow merely dimmed somewhat as it continued to shoot straight at him.

"Pfft-"

The black-and-white divine light pierced straight through Yangmei's true body. The instant it passed through him, the Dao contained within it ravaged his body, leaving countless Dao injuries.

Even so, Yangmei was, after all, nearing the attainment of the Dao, with a cultivation at Hunyuan Golden Immortal Perfection, and his true body was that of a powerful Chaos Demon God.

The divine light from Ao Changsheng's Eye of the Candle Dragon had pierced through his Dao, his Dharma image, and his various techniques in succession. Its remaining power was ultimately not enough to take his life.

"One who has attained the Dao?"

His face as pale as paper, Yangmei clutched his pierced chest and looked at Ao Changsheng, who had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, inside the Dao field. He could not help letting out a bitter laugh.

Golden Immortal cultivation?

Golden Immortal cultivation, my ass!

He was clearly a Sage who had already attained the Dao and was using the power of the Heavenly Dao to attack.

He had never imagined that, when even Hongjun had yet to attain the Dao, someone else in the Primordial World had actually attained the Dao and become a Sage.

Most importantly, this Sage who had attained the Dao was so shameless that he had disguised himself as a minor Golden Immortal cultivator to sneak attack an old man.

He was utterly unworthy of being called a son of man!

Great Immortal Yangmei roared madly in his heart, but he also knew that escaping quickly was more important now.

"I, this old Daoist, will remember this lesson. I admit defeat! The mountains and rivers will bring us together again. One day in the Chaos, I will surely avenge this strike."

Before Yangmei had finished speaking, his figure had already vanished from Ao Changsheng's range of detection.

"As expected of the Chaos Demon God of Space. He really is fast when he runs for his life."

Hearing Great Immortal Yangmei's parting words, Ao Changsheng cursed him inwardly. He did not particularly care that Yangmei had escaped.

When the Eye of the Candle Dragon had failed to kill Yangmei in one strike, Ao Changsheng had understood that keeping him here was impossible.

When it came to attacking, Ao Changsheng did not know how formidable Yangmei's Great Dao of Space was, but when it came to fleeing for his life, the fellow was definitely unmatched in the Primordial World.

Escaping from the hands of the great god Pangu was a solid feat.

Besides, he could maintain his Sage-level combat strength only within this Dao field spanning hundreds of millions of miles. He could not pursue Yangmei beyond it.

As for whether Yangmei would make any schemes after leaving, or when he would return for revenge,

those were not things Ao Changsheng could afford to worry about.

What he needed to do now was continue his secluded cultivation and strive to raise his true strength to the Sage realm as soon as possible.

With that thought, Ao Changsheng prepared to return to the Dao field and continue his secluded cultivation. Suddenly, he caught flashes of treasured light out of the corner of his eye.

"This is..."

The spirit treasures that fellow Yangmei had prepared as an apology just now?

Ao Changsheng saw several spirit treasures scattered across the surface of the sea. With a thought, he used his magic power to draw them over.

Although he had previously sensed that Yangmei was scheming against him,

he had now driven the man away. Why should he fear a scheme Yangmei had left behind?

He examined the five spirit treasures Yangmei had left behind, but none of them were powerful treasures.

In fact, not one of them even qualified as an innate treasure.

In other words, they did not even count as low-grade innate spirit treasures.

"Pah, what a miser!" Ao Changsheng cursed outright.

Yangmei had claimed he wanted to apologize, yet he had prepared to fob him off with things like these.

Even so, Ao Changsheng had no intention of throwing the five spirit treasures away.

These things were useless to Ao Changsheng, who possessed the Ancestral Dragon Pearl, a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure. Still, they were spirit treasures and had some value.

However...

Ao Changsheng did not let down his guard. Yangmei had prepared these spirit treasures to use in a scheme against him. After using the Dao field's power to examine them carefully several times,

Ao Changsheng finally fixed his gaze on a sword-shaped spirit treasure.

"The presence of the Dao of Space?"

Ao Changsheng frowned. The presence was faint, so faint that it was almost imperceptible, but within the Dao field, his own heart stood in place of the heart of heaven, much like the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.

No matter how faint a presence was, it could not escape Ao Changsheng's detection now.

Ao Changsheng grew wary. He had not forgotten that Yangmei was a Chaos Demon God who had mastered the Great Dao of Space.

He had now detected the presence of the Dao of Space on this spirit treasure, and it was hidden so deeply. This was no coincidence.

Using his magic power, Ao Changsheng first suppressed the sword-shaped spirit treasure, then examined it closely.

"Found it!"

After searching the spirit treasure inch by inch several times, Ao Changsheng finally discovered a small grotto-heaven within it, at a point on the sword's edge.

He cautiously opened the small grotto-heaven. An exquisite piece of jade, giving off a faint Dao resonance, floated within it.

"This is..."

"A Jade Disc of Creation Fragment?"

The instant he saw the exquisite piece of jade, its Dao resonance revealed its identity.

Ao Changsheng could scarcely believe it. He immediately beckoned the jade over and examined it closely.

But no matter how many times he examined it, Ao Changsheng could reach only one conclusion.

This was a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation!

The Jade Disc of Creation was one of the most supreme treasures in the Primordial World. It was said to bear a record of the three thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World.

It had shattered during the calamity of Pangu's creation of heaven and scattered across the Primordial World.

Even a single fragment was no less valuable than a supreme-grade innate spirit treasure.

But... why would Yangmei give him such a precious treasure as a Jade Disc of Creation Fragment?

As an apology?

That was impossible!

Ao Changsheng recalled what he had sensed through the heart of heaven at the time.

Yangmei had certainly been scheming against him!

Ao Changsheng was certain of it. After only a little thought, he understood Yangmei's scheme from beginning to end.

A Jade Disc of Creation Fragment was valuable, but most of the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation in the Primordial World were now in the hands of Hongjun, who had already attained the Dao and become a Sage.

Moreover, before long, Hongjun would prepare to merge his body with the Dao.

After merging with the Dao, Hongjun would surely search for the remaining fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation so that he could reassemble this chaos supreme treasure.

By putting the Jade Disc of Creation Fragment in his hands at this time, Yangmei clearly wanted to expose him right under Hongjun's nose.

He also recalled that Yangmei had previously believed his Dao field to be some means of severing the Primordial World.

Had that old fellow already prepared for failure and begun scheming against him back then?
