89: Chapter 89 I am a terrifying existence that even the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao fears.

Di Tianyi looked at Xie Wushang, his eyes filled with a look of dread.

Even when he looked at the Heavenly Dao Avatar, he had not been this solemn.

High up in the sky, the Heavenly Dao Avatar looked at Xie Wushang, as if wanting to see right through him.

With this single glance, he discovered that within Xie Wushang's Sea of Consciousness, there was still a bead floating up and down.

The moment his gaze swept over it, just a single glance, that bead emitted an aura capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

Boom!

That wisp of consciousness belonging to the Heavenly Dao Avatar was directly obliterated.

His consciousness scattered and collapsed out of Xie Wushang's Sea of Consciousness.

"The power hidden within this bead can destroy a great world." Layers of turbulent waves rose within the heart of the Heavenly Dao Avatar.

The Heavenly Dao is ruthless.

Yet this time, it felt dread.

Unease.

In that split second, lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the entire Cangyuan Realm, and for that single fleeting moment, heaven and earth grew dim.

Clouds surged from all directions.

Fierce winds raged, and rifts danced wildly.

However, it lasted only for a flash.

Heaven and earth recovered.

The void rifts manifested in the space of the Eight Desolates healed.

Everything returned to normal.

Many people never noticed this change.

Only some mighty figures detected the clues, feeling astonished in their hearts.

Boom!

While the Heavenly Dao Avatar was shaken to his core, the bead condensed from Laws, summoned out by Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul, had already flown high into the sky and collided with the giant sword thrust down by the Heavenly Dao Avatar. On the bead, gray mist surged angrily upward, as if capable of obliterating all DAOs.

Even the lightning on the sword of the Heavenly Dao Avatar began to be worn away and extinguished.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop. Otherwise, this region will be reduced to a wasteland where no living beings will survive!" the Heavenly Dao Avatar hurriedly spoke.

At the same time, ripples stirred within his sword, and wisps of Chaos Qi swept outward, dissolving the gray mist surging up from below.

"Stop?" Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul guided with a hand seal. "Didn't you say that I am a heresy and cannot exist in this world?"

His voice was detached and ethereal, filled with a supreme majesty.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding," the Heavenly Dao Avatar said. "Fellow Daoist is the Child of Luck of our realm and the hope of all living beings."

Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul guided with a hand seal, and the radiance of the bead high in the sky converged inward, stopping it from continuing to fly higher.

"That was close. If this bead were to explode, the power of the Laws it emits would undoubtedly throw the Laws of our realm into chaos."

"I would also suffer injuries." The Heavenly Dao Avatar breathed a sigh of relief. With a movement of his left hand, the sword he had thrust down slowly retracted back into the high sky.

"I hope you remember your words," Xie Wushang said. "If you dare to act presumptuously again, I certainly wouldn't mind competing with you to see who is superior."

With one hand behind his back, his words carried majesty.

"The Heavenly Dao is impartial. Since Fellow Daoist is the hope of our realm, naturally I will not interfere," the Heavenly Dao Avatar said.

Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul wore a stern expression and did not reply to the Heavenly Dao Avatar's words.

As ancients once said, besides listening to their words, one must also observe their actions.

Verbal promises are the most useless.

"I wish Fellow Daoist flourishing Luck and to attain the Dao for eternal life!"

The Heavenly Dao Avatar made an obeisance, and immediately his body rippled, disappearing right then and there.

That terrifying might of the Heavenly Dao was no more.

The dark clouds shrouding a radius of ninety thousand miles also gradually dispersed.

Yet at the peak of the Great Dao Mountain, tribulation clouds were still shrouding the area.

"Fellow Daoist, this is your ninth-realm tribulation... You may undergo the tribulation normally."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao Avatar traveled into Xie Wushang's ears, as if he feared that the residual tribulation clouds in the air might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"That is for the best." Xie Wushang nodded slightly.

High up in the sky, the Natal Divine Soul guided with a hand seal, and that bead transformed into all-enveloping Laws that merged into the disaster prison bead within the Sea of Consciousness.

His Natal Divine Soul also flashed, turning into a rainbow light that plunged into the disaster prison bead, crossing its legs and sitting upon the divine altar.

As soon as his Primordial Spirit entered the divine altar of the disaster prison bead, black and white light intertwined around the neck of his Primordial Spirit, making the Primordial Spirit feel as though it was about to split apart.

"As expected... With my current cultivation, I still cannot endure the power of the Origin Laws of the disaster prison bead..."

Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul whispered.

Having just broken through his realm, his Natal Divine Soul had already reached the Quasi-Emperor grade.

Its true combat power was comparable to an ordinary Great Emperor.

Even so, it still could not endure a wisp of the Origin Laws power he had drawn out from the disaster prison bead.

This Primordial Spirit had already cracked; if the power of the Origin Laws he guided had been even slightly stronger, it would have completely collapsed.

"That was close... If this Heavenly Dao Avatar had left a moment later, your Natal Divine Soul would have been obliterated by the Origin of the disaster prison bead." Emperor Jiuyang flew over, guiding with a hand seal, and instantly a wisp of Great Emperor Qi from his fingertips injected into Xie Wushang's Natal Divine Soul.

Nourished by this Great Emperor Qi, the cracked lines on his Primordial Spirit gradually began to heal.

"If he truly hesitated... then I would have had no choice but to abandon this Primordial Spirit and fight him to the death," Xie Wushang said.

He had two Primordial Spirits.

Destroying one still left another, and it would not endanger his life.

It's just that this Natal Divine Soul was extremely profound and wondrous, sharing the same Origin as the disaster prison bead.

If it perished, in the future when Xie Wushang wanted to wield the power of the Laws within the disaster prison bead, he wouldn't be able to do so as smoothly and proficiently as now.

Exactly because of this, after the Heavenly Dao Avatar retreated, Xie Wushang also chose to stop, and did not choose to fight him to the bitter end.

Flipping the table...

That was merely a helpless move when there was no other choice.

"Holy crap... The Heavenly Dao Avatar retreated?"

"That is the Heavenly Dao Avatar, you know? The Dominator of all living beings in a realm?"

"He was actually scared into retreating by Master?"

"I... what kind of mighty thigh have I latched onto?"

"Has Luck finally arrived for this little bird?"

Seeing the Heavenly Dao Avatar retreat, the Holy Spirit Bird gave a start, rubbed its eyes, and its face was filled with a look of utter disbelief.

"I am going to soar!" Looking at its master, it was practically drooling.

It had originally thought it only latched onto a thigh possessing the bearing of a Great Emperor.

But looking at it now...

In the future, this thigh will be even thicker than a Heavenly Emperor's leg!

Just thinking about it made it excited; it rolled a few times in the air, then hopped up and down.

...

"That heavenly might has disappeared?" At this moment, at the foot of the Great Dao Mountain, Jiang Mo, Jiang Xun, and the others couldn't help but breathe sighs of relief.

Yet their hearts were still beating wildly.

Their blood surged within their bodies.

The shock and panic brought by just now were difficult to disperse for a long time.

The Great Saint-Grade powerhouse of the Tianyang Holy Land, Xu Dadao, Saint King Hong Chiyuan, Yu Buhou, and the others all felt lingering fear.

Ever since these endless years began, this was the first time Xu Dadao had been suppressed by such terrifying heavenly might.

Even when he went to the Forbidden Ground and tried to wield an Emperor Weapon.

When the spirit of that Emperor Weapon blasted him away, there hadn't been such terrifying pressure.

"What kind of existence attacked just now?" Hong Chiyuan, Yu Buhou, and the others exchanged glances, finally looking at Xu Dadao.

"The might from just now was above the Great Emperor... it was like heavenly might!" Xu Dadao said.

"Heavenly might?" Yu Buhou and Hong Chiyuan's pupils constricted.

"That towering man with a majestic figure might be the Heavenly Dao Avatar!" Xu Dadao took a deep breath and said.

"What! The Heavenly Dao Avatar!" Hong Chiyuan's pupils constricted as he raised his head to look.

At this moment, high up in the sky, the Heavenly Dao Avatar had already disappeared.

The young man there was safe and sound.

"How is that possible! If it were the Heavenly Dao Avatar, why would he suddenly retreat?" Yu Buhou said.

"Indeed! The Heavenly Dao! That is an existence that dominates a realm... The reason a Heavenly Emperor can be invincible is precisely because they carry the Heavenly Mandate and have obtained the authority to mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao... In our realm, who could possibly make the Heavenly Dao Avatar feel dread?"

"And just like that, he retreated?"

They all felt it was completely unrealistic.

Perhaps what appeared just now was not the Heavenly Dao Avatar.

It was simply that their vision was too low to discern the truth from falsehood.
