In the void, Li Xiaotian and the others faced the colossal Shi'e Venerable, whose immense form was beyond the scope of their vision, their hearts filled with despair.
Too powerful!
The mere aura emanating from this void beast put immense pressure on them.
Li Xiaotian’s expression was solemn, his gaze filled with disappointment. He had absorbed the Dao power of the Two-Headed Eagle, but its enhancement to his own strength was not as significant as he had imagined.
Currently, he hadn’t even reached the second rank.
Facing the Shi'e Venerable before him, he had no chance of victory.
What to do?
Li Xiaotian and the others exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
It was too strong; even if the five of them joined forces, they were far from its match.
“If I hand over my Dao, will you truly spare us? Spare our world?”
Li Xiaotian asked, looking at the Shi'e Venerable.
“Xiaotian, no!” Tongtian Sword Master and the others cried out in alarm, realizing Li Xiaotian’s intention. They could not allow him to hand over his Dao.
They had also witnessed the heaven-defying nature of Li Xiaotian’s Dao absorption, making him an invincible existence among peers.
With such a Dao, Li Xiaotian's future achievements would be immeasurable.
If he were to give it up now, not only would Li Xiaotian's future be lost, but it was also uncertain whether the Jiuzhou World could escape this calamity.
“Heh heh, I keep my word. Human, if you willingly hand over your Dao, I will let you go,” the Shi'e Venerable said with a smile, his eyes glinting strangely.
The Dao power could be forcibly stripped, but it would be more difficult to integrate than if it were given willingly.
Therefore, it preferred Li Xiaotian to surrender his Dao.
“Really?” Li Xiaotian asked.
“Truly! I have no reason to toy with a few ants like you. Human, please do not doubt the credibility of a strong individual!” the Shi'e Venerable said sternly.
“Very well!”
Li Xiaotian nodded and then walked towards the Shi'e Venerable.
“Xiaotian! You are mad, don’t agree to it!”
“It’s lying to you. In the void universe, strength rules, and the law of the jungle prevails. There is no credibility to speak of!”
From behind, Tongtian Sword Master and the others shouted, trying to rush forward to stop Li Xiaotian.
“Hmph! Noisy!”
The Shi'e Venerable snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure instantly bore down on Tongtian Sword Master and the others.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
Tongtian Sword Master and the others all spat blood, their faces filled with terror.
“Go back! Esteemed seniors, I entrust my wife and daughter to you from now on.” Li Xiaotian said to Tongtian Sword Master and the others, then resolutely walked towards the Shi'e Venerable.
The Shi'e Venerable lay prone in the void, watching Li Xiaotian approach with excitement.
It could not have imagined that such a heaven-defying Dao would be obtained so easily.
Thinking of how it would dominate the void universe and become a top-tier powerhouse, it felt an immense surge of excitement.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, just as Li Xiaotian approached the Shi'e Venerable, his body vanished.
“Boom!”
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaotian appeared within the Shi'e Venerable’s Dao space, his feet landing on its Dao.
He immediately transformed into a black hole, burning his life force to devour the Shi'e Venerable’s Dao power.
“Explode for me!!”
Following that, Li Xiaotian took out the high-grade long saber he had recently refined and, gritting his teeth, detonated it.
“Boom!”
A terrifying energy storm instantly formed within the Shi'e Venerable’s Dao space, destroying everything.
All of this happened in an instant, leaving the Shi'e Venerable no time to react.
“What? Scum! Human, you are seeking death!!!”
The Shi'e Venerable roared, its terrifying aura rippling through the void. The immense pressure forced Tongtian Sword Master and the others to bend their bodies.
Within the Dao space, the Shi'e Venerable’s divine sense appeared, charging down furiously from the end of the Dao.
“Human, you have angered me! I swear, after killing you, I will surely destroy your world!”
The Shi'e Venerable roared, and with a movement of its divine sense, the Dao space, affected by the explosion, instantly stabilized.
At the same time, its Dao became more solid, faintly shimmering with light.
“Pfft!”
Li Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly withdrawing from the devouring state, his eyes filled with horror.
He had been backlashed.
His devouring power had suddenly become ineffective.
“Ant, who gave you the audacity to intrude into the Dao space of a powerhouse about to step into the middle ranks?!”
The Shi'e Venerable roared, its killing intent soaring.
It was only one step away from the invincible fourth rank, making its divine sense incredibly powerful.
Although Li Xiaotian's devouring Dao was heaven-defying, his strength was too weak compared to the Shi'e Venerable, making it impossible for him to devour the Shi'e Venerable’s Dao power.
“Die!”
The Shi'e Venerable roared, and a sky-covering giant claw reached out towards Li Xiaotian.
“Kill!”
Li Xiaotian roared, his body elongating to a thousand feet, his entire being radiating golden light. He unleashed a punch with all his might.
“Bang!”
With a deafening sound, Li Xiaotian was directly blasted out of the Shi'e Venerable’s Dao space. He spat blood, his fist covered in cracks, and he felt unbearable, overwhelming pain within his body.
Li Xiaotian was shocked by the immense power. It was too strong!
With just one blow, he was completely crushed.
If not for his golden body, his body would have likely exploded and he would have died on the spot.
“Ant, do you know that in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are mere smoke!”
The Shi'e Venerable’s giant eyes stared at Li Xiaotian, filled with rage.
“Unfortunately, you and your world had a chance to survive, but you missed it due to your foolishness!”
“I will destroy your world before your very eyes, and then I will devour you piece by piece.”
“This is the punishment for your offense against a strong individual!”
The Shi'e Venerable roared, then opened its massive mouth and began to devour the Jiuzhou World.
Instantly, a terrifying energy storm appeared over the Jiuzhou World, and the entire world began to tremble.
At the same time, within the Jiuzhou World, the seas churned, the land shattered, and the Dragon of Fortune cried out mournfully.
The entire world seemed to have reached the brink of destruction.
