227: unexpected gain

“Troublesome thing.”

Lin Chuping snorted coldly in his heart.

As the newborn Heavenly Dao, his strength was evenly matched with Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi, and he didn't have an absolute victory.

But at this moment, he had no retreat, only to fight!

As his thoughts raced, Lin Chuping formed an ancient and profound seal with his hands.

The Heavenly Dao divine radiance flowing around him suddenly converged, no longer attempting to overwhelm with vast momentum, but becoming extremely condensed!

At the same time, Lin Chuping mobilized a more core, purer power of the World Origin, transforming it into countless infinitesimally small Law blades, intending to directly engage in a Law-level strangulation!

“Useless! Newborn Heavenly Dao!”

Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi's three heads roared triumphantly at the same time.

“Your Laws, your order, will all become a part of me! Struggle! Fear! And then... be devoured!”

Terrifying demonic sounds pierced his mind, carrying the power to disintegrate all will.

“Come! Let’s see who devours whom first!”

Lin Chuping roared, and the Power Of Faith, mixed with his own Heavenly Dao Origin, transformed into a pillar of light, like a roaring Dragon, fiercely charging towards Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi and his spreading demonic domain!

Boom—!!!

The most barbaric and direct energy collision erupted! The two figures clashed violently in the Void Realm!

Golden-purple and purple-black flames fiercely intertwined, annihilating each other! Space collapsed in swathes, and Laws became utterly chaotic!

Time passed, for who knew how long.

Under the impact of the golden-purple light pillar, Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi's massive demonic body had its Devilish Qi evaporated and its bone armor shattered!

“No—!”

Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi frantically burned his Origin, yet could not resist this desperate blow, a momentary surge of power gathered from an entire world!

After a few breaths of stalemate, he utterly disintegrated!

The golden-purple pillar of destructive light completely engulfed that arrogant Extraterrestrial Demon!

In a heaven-shaking roar filled with unwillingness and despair, Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi the Extraterrestrial Demon's demonic body was completely submerged, disintegrated, and purified by the supreme yang and firm energy!

When the light faded, only subtle spatial ripples remained in the sky.

Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi the Extraterrestrial Demon was utterly annihilated, body and soul!

* * *

Only then did Lin Chuping completely relax. His figure appeared in the nearest temple.

“Cough...”

When no one was around, Lin Chuping suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of pale golden blood.

“It seems I need to re-evaluate the combat power of Extraterrestrial Demons.”

To deal with the first Little Sky Demon, the old Heavenly Dao had to sacrifice its last power to pull him back from the brink of death.

He inherited most of the Heavenly Dao's power, yet even so, he only managed to draw with a Little Sky Demon that had secretly slipped in.

He only managed to slay the opponent by risking severe injury.

This battle came at a heavy cost.

However, reality wouldn't give him much time to recover.

Lin Chuping let out a bitter laugh, and just as he was about to concentrate his remaining strength to stabilize his injuries, he suddenly froze as he looked inward at his Heavenly Dao core.

Deep within his Heavenly Dao Origin, besides his own pure golden-purple divine radiance... at some unknown point, a small cluster of energy fragments had appeared.

This cluster of energy fragments was extremely peculiar; it exuded an abominable abyssal aura, originating from the same source as Grand Elder Xuan Mingzi the Extraterrestrial Demon, yet it was also extremely pure.

Lin Chuping recalled carefully; it seemed to have been forcibly “knocked” out of the Extraterrestrial Demon's most core Origin during that final extreme clash of Laws and energy.

Later, Lin Chuping had unintentionally carried it along, forcibly pressing it deep into his Origin!

Currently, this cluster of fragments was instinctively enveloped and suppressed by his Heavenly Dao power, trembling slightly, like a dormant, dangerous black seed.

“There was an unexpected gain after all!”
