"Oh?" Chen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Big Black Ox widened his eyes a little from the side as well, as though observing and studying it.
"This object gathered the essence of the ages and remained imperishable. It could sever mountains and rivers, suppress the vast ocean." Frog Daoist spoke word by word, cradling the item in a pair of toad palms, though he was only about as tall as Chen Xun's ankle.
"You picked this casually, didn't you?" Chen Xun's gaze deepened. "Toad, are you trying to fool me because I haven't read much?"
"Ribbit?!"
"Moo?!"
Big Black Ox snorted out a blast of scorching breath. Trying to show off knowledge of spiritual herbs in front of them?
"Chen Xun, absolutely not!" Frog Daoist's eye sockets flew wide open, and that solemn expression vanished in an instant.
"Bullshit! Gathered the essence of the ages and remained imperishable? You probably just picked this casually during the Myriad Races Great Slaughter Era, and now you're playing word games with This Dao Ancestor?!"
Chen Xun waved his sleeve, and his aura instantly sharpened. He abruptly looked at Big Black Ox. "Old Ox, I thought this toad had changed his ways. Looks like he was pretending. Gang him!"
"Ribbit!!!"
The Five Elements Immortal Platform burst forth with Five Elements Immortal Bloom. Frog Daoist let out a miserable scream that pierced the clouds, reverting to his former self—somewhat clever, yet always possessing a wisdom Chen Xun could see through at a glance.

At the edge of the battlefield, White Spirit cowered beneath a colossal pillar. It had not taken part in anything. They had beaten the Daoist; they could not beat it too. Its body could not withstand the Dao Ancestor and Ox Ancestor's "thousandfold tempering" at all.
Half an hour later.
