ROARRRR!!!
The primordial beast finally revealed its majestic bulk.
It was an unparalleled crocodile ancestor hundreds of meters in size, blotting out the sky.
A huge mouth like an abyss, seemingly bottomless. When it opened and closed, it seemed the heavens meeting the earth—terrifying to the extreme.
“Come to me!”
Gu Changqing stood proudly beneath the firmament and let out a thunderous shout.
The five-element laws of heaven and earth were torn out, converging into a single place and condensing into a chain woven from law-forces.
“Go!”
With his roar, the chains bloomed with destructive divine light and suddenly descended.
Heaven opened and earth split. Myriad paths collapsed.
This force of the laws was terrifying, containing the boundless true might of the Heavenly Dao. When it erupted it suppressed thousands of heavenly realms and shattered the cosmos!
ROAARRR!!!
The beast seemed not to have awakened intelligence. Even though it was facing such true might, it arrogantly chose to resist.
Blood sprayed as its great mouth opened—it actually intended to swallow the divine chain!
BOOM!
Terrifying waves of energy exploded inside the crocodile ancestor’s mouth, demonic blood spattering everywhere. Within that abyss-like mouth, brilliant divine light interwove, the energy surging like a volcanic eruption.
It surged violently!
ROAAARRRRR!!!!
The crocodile ancestor, as if enraged, with its rune-etched giant teeth forcibly tore the divine chain apart, bit it to pieces, and swallowed it into its belly.
Gu Changqing’s brows were tightly knit.
This was an enemy greater than any he had previously encountered.
This creature’s strength wasn’t top-tier, but its hide was so thick and flesh so tough it was hard to slay!
“Subjugate!”
A vast, booming shout suddenly came from Gu Changqing, and his surrounding aura exploded outward.
As if the true progenitor of the Heavenly Dao had descended, celestial might trembled, shaking the stars and moon. A terrifying aura flooded the sky like a tidal wave, smashing the chasm of heaven.
Above the nine heavens, the sky changed drastically.
Countless stars vanished as an incomparably vast sea of lightning appeared, within which thunder dragons rampaged.
The lightning sea enveloped the crocodile ancestor and terrifying heavenly might locked onto it. The next moment, countless thunder dragons shot forth from the sea, carrying the annihilating momentum of heaven and earth, and hurled toward the crocodile ancestor!
RUMBLE!
The earth instantly turned to scorched soil. In that realm, radiance undulated as thunder’s might wove into a pool of lightning—those who dared step half a pace into it would be instant dust.
The crocodile ancestor roared and howled.
But its power lay only in its physical body. Against Gu Changqing in the heavens, it was helpless.
It was blasted into a bloody mess by the thunder, moving its massive body as it constantly ran for its life and tried to hide from the lightning sea.
…
Outside the mirror.
Many who watched this scene unblinkingly couldn’t help but gasp.
“The Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation method is simply too powerful!”
Everyone could feel the terror of that force of law!
What the hell — how was he only at Great Power? How?!
This level of divine might could almost rival a Supreme!!
“What a prodigy!” someone sighed. “He only cultivated for months and reached this level—no wonder he’ll become a Great Emperor, able to suppress mighty foes of the heavens!”
“However, it seems the Heavenly Emperor is also helpless against this crocodile ancestor.”
“This beast’s physique is too powerful. On the Beixuan Continent, such a level has almost never emerged! The Heavenly Emperor’s assaults are merely superficial wounds to that crocodile ancestor.”
“Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor’s wielding of law-forces seems to carry significant backlash for him now.”
“If this stalemate continues, the one consumed to death will surely be the Heavenly Emperor.”
The crowd murmured.
This crocodile ancestor’s physique far exceeded everyone’s imagination.
That sense of thick hide and tough flesh caused many Supreme cultivators present to despair—let alone the Heavenly Emperor who had only just entered cultivation for a few months.
…
“Die!”
A trace of urgency arose in Gu Changqing’s heart.
As the outside cultivators said, manipulating Heavenly Dao laws caused more damage to himself than to his enemy.
He had only just stepped into Heavenly Dao cultivation and could only mobilize low level laws, never mind trying to manipulate the more powerful ones.
This crocodile ancestor’s body was like a vajra. If the stalemate continued, he’d only exhaust himself to death.
So Gu Changqing dared not hold back any longer. If the stalemate continued he’d die, which meant he would fail to obtain that blue little flower, and the little fox would also perish!
He roared, and an even more terrifying aura rose from his body, filling the heavens.
A true might that dimmed heaven and earth, annihilating the firmament, engulfing the earthly realms and even the entire forbidden zone.
His black hair whipped wildly, and he resembled the true progenitor of the Heavenly Dao incarnate, unleashing world-shattering divine might.
The thunder dragons in the lightning sea gradually transformed into a purple color.
The next moment, countless bolts of purple divine thunder shot forth.
Purple Firmament Divine Thunder!!
This divine thunder was clearly way more powerful than ordinary lightning. The moment it appeared the crocodile ancestor let out an unbearably mournful howl.
In an instant, the crocodile ancestor’s majestic body was riddled with thousands of wounds, its flesh a bloody mess.
Blood mists continually sprayed from its body as the divine runes across its flesh were blasted into a pitiable state by the Purple Firmament Divine Thunder.
The crocodile ancestor’s terrifying aura was gone and it looked like a mangy dog, fleeing in panic among mortals.
