His Strength Was Shocking

"Besides, there are seeds here as well. Plant more of them. If our people fall ill again in the future, this will be life-saving medicine."

Taiqing’s words left Ni Tian Er Xing deeply shocked. He had thought curing the petrification disease would require some complicated method, yet it turned out to need only a single fruit.

Though doubts still lingered in his heart, Ni Tian Er Xing accepted the fruit and seeds Taiqing handed him and examined them carefully.

Complete subjugation! Stall for time!

After tasting the fruit, Ni Tian Er Xing discovered that his petrification disease had truly vanished.

Only then did he realize that Taiqing had not been joking.

Though he had initially found it unbelievable, the facts were right before him, and he had no choice but to believe.

"Who would have thought that an ordinary fruit could cure such a stubborn illness as petrification disease? It is truly astonishing! If this fruit works, then these seeds must be the key to curing the disciples’ petrification disease."

Completely recovered, Ni Tian Er Xing was overjoyed. His people had finally escaped the torment of disease. "Thank you for your help. From now on, we will no longer fear petrification disease."

"No need to thank me. You paid a price for this as well." Taiqing smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

Ni Tian Er Xing replied, "For the well-being of my people, this little sacrifice is nothing.

Compared to my own life and death, this deal is more than worthwhile.

Besides, you will help me fight the Divine Race.

To me, all of this is more valuable than life itself."

Taiqing smiled slightly after hearing this. "Think whatever you like. In any case, your life belongs to me from now on.

Come. Let’s deal with those Divine Race members."

As Taiqing spoke and laughed, killing intent suddenly surged forth. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light, and countless gods were instantly annihilated wherever he passed.

Facing the imposing Taiqing, the Four Great Saint Kings stepped forward to intercept him.

However, how could they possibly be Taiqing’s match?

Even an existence like Heavenly Dao could not contend with Taiqing, much less the Four Great Saint Kings.

Although True Chan Saint King, the strongest among the Four Great Saint Kings, was not much weaker than Heavenly Dao.

There was still a gap in the end!

A tiny difference could mean a world apart!

The true disparity between them was obvious.

"Myriad Disciples Divine Palm! Grip of Death!"

Seeing the Four Great Saint Kings blocking his path, Taiqing sneered and immediately unleashed his ultimate technique—the Myriad Disciples Divine Palm.

The Four Great Saint Kings saw only a massive palm that blotted out the sky descending upon them. They were tightly trapped within it, and then the giant hand suddenly clenched.

Blood splattered everywhere, and all manner of filthy fluids rained down from the sky to the earth…

The Four Great Saint Kings died miserably. Before the powerful Taiqing, they had no strength to resist.

In such circumstances, they did not even have a chance to flee.

The moment the giant palm enclosed them, everything had already been decided.

Unless they could break this palm, there was absolutely no way for them to survive.

With their strength, let alone breaking the palm, even scratching its surface was extremely difficult…

Taiqing’s power shocked countless members of the Divine Race.

After witnessing the Four Great Saint Kings fail to withstand Taiqing, they scattered and fled in every direction.

In this situation, they could only pray that Taiqing would not pursue them.

But they had never considered that, at such a moment, how could Taiqing possibly let them go so easily?

Though they fled separately, in Taiqing’s eyes, they had never escaped his control.

Those giant palms had already tightly grasped everything around them.

Even if they fled desperately for half a day, those Divine Race members could not leave this place, because they had never escaped Taiqing’s grasp.

This showed just how terrifying Taiqing was.

Originally, his strength had not been this great.

But after seeing Heavenly Dao, and following a series of adjustments, he instantly obtained even greater power. His realm had already reached the same level as Heavenly Dao’s.

Moreover, he had always been better at combat than Heavenly Dao, with abundant experience and broader knowledge. Naturally, the strength he could display was even greater.

To Taiqing, all of this was nothing more than effortless.

Under such overwhelming suppression, countless Divine Race members had no power to fight back. The destruction of the Divine Court was imminent.

At this moment, the Great Elder had clearly realized that the situation was unfavorable.

He had previously tried to escape, only to discover that no matter what he did, he could not get out.

Thus, he had been waiting for a certain Demon King’s response, hoping to receive help.

Although that Demon King had agreed, he needed time. During this period, the Great Elder had to find a way to withstand Taiqing’s attacks while stalling for time!

To achieve this goal, the Great Elder did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of other gods in order to create an opportunity for himself.

It had to be said that his methods were quite ruthless. Even the celestial gods who were sacrificed noticed nothing unusual.

Because in their eyes, the Great Elder had acted out of compassion. He did not wish for them to be trapped here until death, so he had allowed them to go out and seek a chance at survival.

After all, at this moment, they understood better than anyone that the Divine Court was no longer safe.

Remaining in the Divine Court would only lead to death. They had long wanted to leave and seek another way out.

Perhaps there was still a sliver of hope that way, but they feared the Great Elder’s wrath. Once he became enraged, their fate would certainly be death.

Dying early and dying late were ultimately different. Dying later might give them a little more chance to survive.

Therefore, most of them chose to grit their teeth and hold on here, guarding that final chance of life.

Fortunately, the Great Elder seemed to have sensed their thoughts and soon drove them out. This news naturally filled them with ecstasy.

However, that joy was destined to be short-lived.

Very soon, they would experience the taste of despair!

Even so, they still remembered the Great Elder’s past kindness.

It had to be admitted that the Great Elder’s move was truly brilliant, killing two birds with one stone.

Not only had he given the celestial gods a sliver of hope and made them grateful to him, he had also invisibly used them as shields, sacrifices, and tools to stall for time…

In short, this Great Elder had taken things to the extreme.

All he had to do next was wait quietly for the Demon King’s rescue.

Although he felt uneasy, he understood that there was no path of retreat left.

Since that was the case, he might as well gamble everything. Perhaps there would be a turning point?

Besides, that Demon King possessed profound magical power. In his view, the Demon King’s strength was certainly no weaker than Heavenly Dao’s.

Such an existence, if determined to survive, would have no trouble taking him along as baggage!

Filled with anticipation, the Great Elder looked toward the sky. He had little time left.

If the Demon King could arrive in time, his chances of escaping would greatly increase.

The Divine Eye Great Elder was gambling with his life!

There were not many celestial gods who dared to act as boldly as he did.

But this Great Elder had never been one to obey the rules.

Rather than risk fleeing, he preferred to place everything on this gamble!

Though fleeing also had a chance of success, after all, no one knew whether he could truly escape Taiqing’s control.

But that possibility was simply too small, almost nonexistent.

However, this Great Elder was clearly extremely self-centered.

Compared to risking escape, he trusted this gamble of his more, firmly believing that he would succeed.

And the facts were exactly as he had expected!

His luck was very good.

A Demon King whose entire body was shrouded in mist appeared before him.

The Demon King did not reveal his true appearance, as if afraid that certain people might see what he truly looked like.

Seeing that the Great Elder was safe and sound, the Demon King sighed in relief and said, "I never expected you to preserve your life under that fiend Taiqing and hold on until now.

I have to say, your luck is indeed quite good!"

The Great Elder was slightly surprised upon hearing this. "I never expected you to know Taiqing too!

Can you tell me what kind of person he really is?

He is truly powerful, powerful beyond my imagination. A powerhouse like that is genuinely terrifying.

Even someone as powerful as Heavenly Dao is no match for him!

I can be certain that if I appeared before him now, he could easily destroy me with a single finger!"

The Divine Eye Great Elder asked the Demon King, "That person is not from this world, much like you."

The Demon King replied, "We come from the same place, but he is far stronger than I am.

We must be careful before him. Even if we are separated by thousands of miles, he may still easily destroy me.

His strength is shocking.

This time, it is only his projection. If his true body arrived, destroying this place would take no more than a thought."

The Demon King continued, "I think he is watching us. If we do not leave immediately, we will never be able to escape later."

After hearing this, the Divine Eye Great Elder immediately understood. "So he had already noticed me back then and used some method on me.

I thought he did not care, but it seems he intends to take revenge now.

Lord Demon King, what should we do?"

The Demon King frowned. "Can you stop causing me trouble? It seems I will have to pay quite a price this time."

He immediately opened a spatial passage and urged the Great Elder, "Go. I can already sense his aura. Hurry and follow me!"

The Great Elder hesitated no longer. He knew that if he delayed any further, his life would likely be in danger.

Seeing this, he was somewhat surprised, then resolutely stepped inside.

A moment later, the spatial passage completely disappeared.

The Demon King and the Great Elder vanished from sight…

Just as they concealed themselves, Taiqing arrived as well.

Surveying the traces all around him, Taiqing’s lips curled slightly as he murmured, "Interesting! Interesting! To think I would encounter an old acquaintance here. Is it Rahula?

Even if you fled quickly, my aura has already locked onto you. You will not be able to escape for long.

This world will ultimately belong to the Primordial World. That is its destined fate.

All your struggles are nothing but futile.

One day, I will wipe all of you out!"

It had to be admitted that even Taiqing could not help but feel shocked this time.

He had thought he was merely hunting a small fish, never expecting to catch a truly big one.

Compared to the small fish from before, this big fish left a deep impression on him.

After all, Rahula’s place of origin was the Primordial World.

Now, Rahula had to flee everywhere and barely survive in the Hongmen Divine Realm.

Even Taiqing did not dare to underestimate such a powerful opponent.

After all, only his avatar was here at present. Compared to his true body, this avatar’s strength was ultimately limited.

His true body’s cultivation had already broken through to the Heavenly Dao Realm Seventh Layer.

Therefore, the limit any one of his avatars could reach was only the Heavenly Dao Realm Fifth Layer.

His incarnations, however, could reach the Heavenly Dao Realm Sixth Layer.

Taiqing’s clone possessed cultivation equal to his true body and was likewise at the Heavenly Dao Realm Seventh Layer.

Under normal circumstances, when Taiqing descended into other worlds, he would at most send out a single clone.

Worlds capable of bearing a clone were exceedingly rare.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, Taiqing’s projected body could at most contend against experts of the same realm.

Although his current strength was enough to dominate one side without needing to worry about other consequences, if Rahula and the Great Elder went all out, they might not be unable to reach the same level. At that point, it would become troublesome for Taiqing.

It had to be admitted that Taiqing’s concerns were entirely correct.

The fanatical Great Elder and Rahula would never surrender so easily.

They knew full well how powerful Taiqing was, especially Rahula.

Faced with this situation, they decided to make a tremendous sacrifice and undergo a transformation.

Although Rahula had descended through an incarnation, his strength was extraordinary. After discussing matters with the Great Elder, the latter resolutely abandoned everything, retaining only a wisp of divine soul seed in preparation for possessing another body in the future.

This showed that, in order to defeat Taiqing, Rahula and the others had truly gone all out.

They also devised a practical plan, calling it the "Seed Plan."
