Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 30 Fierce Battle

If he hadn't been hiding his abilities, it wouldn't have mattered. Although he might not be a match for them, he would still have the confidence to protect himself.

However, if he possesses a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he might even have difficulty protecting himself.

Even in this perilous situation, Yuan Jie was not too flustered, nor did he feel any fear.

Admittedly, he was no match for the old man, but he was not alone.

Yuan Lun and Yuan Ling have also broken through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. They possess no fewer treasures than he does, and Yuan Lun even has a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Their combat power is definitely no weaker than his, and may even surpass his.

His true form has already broken through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and possesses two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Unless one also possesses a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation would not be his match.

Once the three of them arrive and join forces with him, what is there to fear from a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of cultivation?

Even if it cannot be killed, it can be easily defeated.

In the blink of an eye, Yuanjie secretly transmitted a message to Yuanlun, Yuanling, and the original body through the mysterious, primordial connection between the four, clarifying their own situation and the enemy's cultivation level, so that the three could cross the void at top speed to come and provide support.

Having done all this, Yuan Jie's eyes grew even colder. He looked up at the old man opposite him, his aura remaining undiminished.

Seeing that Yuan Jie, despite being at a disadvantage under the pressure of his own Dao energy, still maintained a firm Dao heart and showed no fear, the old man's eyes flashed with surprise, which was then replaced by greed and arrogance.

He held a jet-black longsword, its tip pointing diagonally towards the Yuan Realm. The overwhelming pressure of a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal was fully unleashed, and his voice, filled with arrogance and domineering control, coldly declared: "Junior, you are no match for your ancestor! Hand over the innate spiritual treasure in your hand, and your ancestor may spare your life and grant you a way out."

The old man's greed was undisguised in his words. His eyes were fixed on the World Cauldron above Yuan Jie's head and the Universe Pearl in front of him, and his greed was almost overflowing.

Two top-grade innate spiritual treasures were an immense temptation for him.

If he could obtain it, comprehend the profound principles contained within, and verify them with his own Dao, he might have a chance to advance further, break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and become a true great power!

"Hmph! Spare my life? You think you can?" Yuan Jie sneered, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

Not to mention who will win, it's still uncertain. Even if he is truly no match for him and is willing to hand over the treasure in his hand, will the old man let him go?

He's not that naive!

"Good! Good! Very good!"

"Youngster, you've refused a toast only to suffer the consequences. Since you've chosen to die, don't blame your ancestor for being ruthless!"

"Once the Ancestor captures you, he will cast your true spirit into the Netherworld Fire, where it will burn for countless eons, leaving you unable to live or die!"

Immediately, the old man stopped wasting words. Even though Yuan Jie possessed several high-grade innate spiritual treasures to protect him, his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was simply insufficient to unleash the full power of these treasures.

He is a genuine Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, having immersed himself in this realm for countless years, possessing extremely profound knowledge and skills. How could he possibly fail to defeat a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the mid-stage?

Thinking of this, the old man's eyes darkened, a chilling poisonous mist swirling within them. He held nothing back, his Netherworld Poison Dao circulating wildly around him, pouring all his vast power into the Netherworld Poison Dragon Sword in his hand. Endless Netherworld Poison and the resentment of countless yin spirits swirled around the sword, and the pitch-black longsword instantly erupted with a soaring black light, the poisonous waves sweeping across the eight wastelands.

"Black Poison Sword Qi!"

The old man roared fiercely, and a jet-black sword aura spanning hundreds of millions of miles suddenly condensed. Within the sword aura, countless ferocious ghostly beasts and mournful vengeful spirits writhed and roared. The boundless ghostly poisonous aura blotted out the sky and the sun, instantly enveloping the entire territory within hundreds of millions of miles, turning it into an endless dark inferno, where the vitality of heaven and earth was instantly eroded and plundered.

At the same time, the old man's power of the Great Dao erupted completely, and the Great Dao of Nether Poison transformed into a raging poisonous wave, firmly sealing off the entire surrounding space-time, cutting off all the void escape routes of the Yuan Realm, not giving an inch, and leaving him no chance to escape.

"Youngster, today I will show you that there is an insurmountable chasm between the mid-stage and perfected Great Luo Golden Immortals!"

A cold shout resounded throughout the universe, and the pitch-black sword energy, carrying the force to destroy the world, crashed down. Wherever it passed, everything in the world was corroded and shattered by the power of the Netherworld Poison. Even the rules of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth were tainted and distorted by the poison. Spacetime collapsed layer by layer, and the deadly killing intent was like a net that completely locked down the Yuan Realm, leaving no way to avoid it.

Yuan Jie's expression hardened, and a hint of seriousness appeared between his brows. He dared not be careless in the slightest.

While the power of this sword strike was indeed terrifying, he could easily withstand it with his cultivation level. However, he knew in his heart that a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation could not possibly only have such limited abilities.

The old man must have a hidden trump card, waiting for him to relax for a moment before unleashing his deadly move.

In the blink of an eye, Yuanjie acted swiftly, his own World Dao suddenly began to operate, completely merging with the World Cauldron above his head. The phantom of the complete world appeared, transforming into a world barrier to protect his true body. The boundless power of the World Dao surged and swelled, activating the Universal Pearl, and the power of spacetime Dao completely erupted and spread out in all directions.

Layer upon layer of spacetime stretched out like a tide, with one turbulent spacetime current after another constantly washing away and eroding the dark sword energy. The chaotic spacetime power frantically tore at the source of the sword energy, but in the blink of an eye, the raging black poison sword energy was completely washed away.

Although he didn't know what tricks the old man had up his sleeve, passively taking a beating was not in his nature.

"Kill!" With a cold shout, Yuan Yan unleashed all his power to activate the Universal Pearl, rewriting the rules with the Great Dao of Time and Space. The entire space-time around the old man was suddenly engulfed in a devastating cataclysm. Space collapsed into ruins, shattering into nothingness, time crumbled into ashes, and every glimmer of light vanished without a trace, completely trapping the old man in a realm of utter desolation.

"Not good!" The old man's brow twitched violently, a fatal crisis arose deep in his soul, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He dared not hold back in the slightest. The Great Dao of Nether Poison erupted to its peak, and the pitch-black poison power transformed into a thick barrier, forcefully resisting the power of the annihilation of time and space, holding on for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned an ancient and simple Netherworld Soul Banner. The banner was as black as ink, wrapped with the malevolent energy of countless Netherworld Souls, supporting a vast Netherworld Soul Domain. The Netherworld Souls were endlessly regenerating, and the barrier of the Soul Domain was indestructible.

Relying on the protection of the Netherworld Soul Banner, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the old man used all his cultivation to forcefully break through the chaotic space-time.

"Kill!" Two chilling shouts rang out simultaneously. Yuan Jie and the old man's eyes turned icy cold, their killing intent soaring to the heavens. Without the slightest hesitation, they activated the Great Dao of their bodies at full power, unleashing one deadly technique after another, each move ruthless and determined to kill their opponent.

The profound inclusiveness of the Great Way of the World, the mysterious and serene nature of the Great Way of Time and Space, intertwine and collide with the sinister and corrosive nature of the Great Way of Dark Poison and the bizarre, ferocious, and insane nature of the Great Way of the Netherworld. Every clash unleashes a world-destroying energy storm.
