With the stir of divine wings, realms were born and destroyed.
Mu Changqing's expression shifted slightly. He looked at the terrifying man behind him and quickly deduced his true identity through perception.
The Spirit Ancestor.
In the Great Primordial, the first innate being was the Human Ancestor.
However, the second innate being born was a wisp of spiritual energy, a wisp of spiritual energy beyond all comprehension, named the Spirit Ancestor.
He had journeyed further than the Human Ancestor in the realm of primordial creation.
This was because he had long submitted to the Heavenly Dao of the Great Primordial and was favored by it, taking that step earlier. Although he had not completely transcended the ranks of innate beings, he had reached the extreme.
"I am the Spirit Ancestor. All beings with spirit, fall under my dominion. Burial Emperor, you act against heaven, showing disrespect, and deserve death."
The Spirit Ancestor's gaze was haughty, as if he were the master of the Great Primordial. Every action he took influenced all that was knowable.
"Damn it, how many scums are hiding in the depths of the Great Primordial?"
Mu Changqing shouted coldly. Light flashed around him, erupting with terrifying power, forcing back the Human Ancestor.
At this moment, he was surrounded from front and back.
The Human Ancestor sneered and quickly restored his aura, instantly reaching peak condition.
The terrifying Primordial Axe continuously spewed divine radiance of creation.
"A variable of the era, in the end, is merely an ant beneath the Heavenly Dao. Why struggle? Submitting to the Heavenly Dao is your only choice. Since you are obstinate, I shall act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you, this variable."
The Innate Divine Beast roared, glaring at Mu Changqing with eyes radiating chaotic divine light.
At the Spirit Ancestor's signal, the Innate Divine Beast shattered the chaotic space and, carrying the Spirit Ancestor, charged forward.
"Heh heh, so high and mighty, you almost make me think you are the Heavenly Dao, the true master of the Great Primordial."
Mu Changqing sneered and charged forward with his sword.
Hearing this, the Spirit Ancestor's expression remained unchanged. With a raise of his hand, stars rotated, and an ancient, mysterious aura enveloped the Great Primordial.
The aura was terrifying, astounding, and shook the present and ancient times, like the descent of heaven.
All the innate beings stopped, looking at the Spirit Ancestor in fear.
He was bathed in boundless, brilliant immortal light. A majestic stellar river was born, and countless stars illuminated the entire dark Great Primordial.
The next moment, a terrifying ancient pagoda, capable of suppressing the world, descended from the heavens of the Great Primordial.
The pagoda was entirely starlight-hued and had nine levels.
The pagoda's size surpassed all that was knowable in the world. The entire Great Primordial realm seemed to contain only it.
Mu Changqing's expression turned serious. He looked up at the ancient pagoda that could suppress all under heaven, his breathing quickening.
"Heavenly Dao, it is indeed you orchestrating this behind the scenes."
Mu Changqing could sense the rich aura of the Heavenly Dao emanating from the stellar pagoda.
Clearly, this was a Primordial Divine Artifact bestowed by the Heavenly Dao specifically to suppress him, an artifact transcending the innate level.
Infinite stellar radiance spread out like halos. The terrifying pressure was unbearable for the Great Primordial space. Except for the fourth-level innate beings, all other innate beings trembled in fear.
They even feared the residual power of the stellar pagoda.
One could imagine the immense pressure Mu Changqing, the target of the stellar pagoda, was enduring.
The Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, and Empress Xuanyue, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao who sealed this Great Primordial realm, all halted their actions, watching the scene with solemn expressions.
"Even if you are unwilling to be the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, he still bestows such a Primordial Divine Artifact upon you."
A cold woman's avatar murmured.
Originally, she was not qualified to be the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao. The Spirit Ancestor was the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao.
However, although the Spirit Ancestor chose to defect to the Heavenly Dao's side, he disdained being anyone's spokesperson, even the Heavenly Dao's.
Because of this, the cold woman naturally became the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao.
Despite this, the Spirit Ancestor was still favored by the Great Primordial's Heavenly Dao and was bestowed with a Primordial Divine Artifact, a supreme treasure beyond the innate level.
At this moment, the Spirit Ancestor's expression grew colder, standing in the heavens and earth like a lofty deity. His terrifying figure struck fear into the hearts of the innate beings.
"Why struggle? You have not crossed that step, and ultimately, you cannot defy heaven."
The Spirit Ancestor spoke coldly again.
Mu Changqing watched the stellar ancient pagoda descending to suppress him. His body tensed, and boundless purple flames surged around him, constantly evolving into terrifying phenomena to resist the pagoda's suppressing force that transcended the innate level.
"Defy heaven? My world, I am heaven. Why must I defy it?"
Mu Changqing roared. Holding the Sword of Burial, he reformed the purple patterns on his body and forged an endless burial domain, charging forward.
Brilliant purple light illuminated the entire Great Primordial, forming a standoff with the ancient and terrifying stellar radiance.
Infinite halos scattered continuously due to the stalemate between the two.
The Spirit Ancestor looked down at the scene with arrogance, then said to the Human Ancestor.
"Now is the time to strike, what are you waiting for?"
Upon hearing this, the Human Ancestor reacted immediately. He wielded the Primordial Axe and charged forward. The supreme golden power severed time and space, blocking all paths of retreat.
"Damn it, stop."
Empress Xuanyue's delicate face changed. In a fit of rage, frost scattered around her, instantly repelling all surrounding innate beings.
Then, her figure turned into a stream of light and charged towards the Spirit Ancestor.
The Spirit Ancestor looked at the charging Empress Xuanyue with a playful gaze and spoke coldly.
"Primordial Creation, not bad, but far from enough."
As she drew near, a wisp of starlight from the stellar ancient pagoda shot towards Empress Xuanyue.
*Bang!*
With a single strike, Empress Xuanyue's body shattered the chaotic space and fell into an unknown dimension.
This showed the terrifying suppressing force Mu Changqing was enduring.
*Crack!*
The purple light around Mu Changqing became more terrifying, but a crack appeared on his body.
Purple blood flowed, and his body, like a porcelain doll, seemed on the verge of shattering.
*Rumble!*
The Human Ancestor, enveloped in boundless heavenly might, attacked. The Primordial Axe, with a single blow capable of creating countless stars, weaved brilliant golden light, illuminating a terrifying scene as it struck Mu Changqing's body.
*Puff!*
Mu Changqing's hair was disheveled, and his body half-knelt on the ground. He propped himself up with the Sword of Burial in his right hand, the extreme purple light flickering, spewing forbidden and ominous energies.
His eyes turned into pure, chilling purple depths.
The Human Ancestor retreated, and just as he was about to attack again.
Mu Changqing suddenly turned to look at him and spoke with a cold expression.
"The price for injuring me, Human Ancestor, Spirit Ancestor, you may not be able to afford it. Let me show you why the Heavenly Dao fears me."
With a roar, Mu Changqing's body erupted with extreme, immeasurable divine light once more, rising against the endless stellar radiance.
The supreme wounds on his body instantly healed, and a forbidden power began to emanate from him.
"Yinyin, come."
At this moment, Yinyin, who had completely assimilated the eight strands of Primordial Purple Qi, sensed this and suddenly stood up. Her small body began to become illusory, as if she would vanish at any moment.
