Just as Hu Le's insignificant yet extremely keen divine sense gently brushed past the source of the Heavenly Dao like a breeze, an astonishing discovery left him quite puzzled.

At the very core of that endless, deep source, which resembled the primordial chaos of the universe, sat a mysterious and ancient Taoist!

The Taoist priest had white temples like frost and snow, and his face was calm as if he had transcended the mortal world after experiencing many vicissitudes. He exuded an indescribable indifference.

A subtle and exquisite aura of the Heavenly Dao flowed continuously from the Daoist's body. These auras, like lively spirits, blended perfectly with the vast and boundless origin of the Heavenly Dao around him, forming a harmonious whole.

The moment Hu Le's divine sense detected the Taoist, the other party seemed to be of the same mind and immediately sensed the spying from the outside world.

The Taoist priest, who had been deeply immersed in meditation with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide, and a sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up abruptly, his movements swift as lightning, and quickly surveyed his surroundings.

"Who on earth dares to spy on me in secret?"

His voice was deep and authoritative, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of vigilance.

Although it was just a fleeting glance, he had already sensed an incredibly powerful and unfathomable mysterious force from the faint information conveyed by that brief contact.

How could he not be wary of such an unknown existence?

Just as he was looking around, that faint divine thought suddenly seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand, violently twisted and deformed.

In the blink of an eye, this wisp of divine thought transformed into a lifelike human figure. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Hu Le!

A moment later, Hu Le's true form appeared outside the void of the universe, his hands forming hand seals and his mouth chanting incantations. With a strange ripple spreading out, he actually used a mysterious and unpredictable method to teleport his true body here across the endless void, replacing the clone formed by that wisp of divine thought, and appeared before the Taoist.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist was startled, but quickly calmed himself down. He stared intently at Hu Le, scrutinizing him from head to toe, before asking in a deep voice, "Fellow Taoist, may I ask your name? And why are you spying on me here?"

Hu Le's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile, and he asked in return, "And who are you? The Heavenly Dao here is on the verge of collapse and is about to be destroyed. Instead of fleeing for your life, you linger here. Aren't you afraid of turning to ashes along with the Heavenly Dao?"

The Taoist priest naturally wouldn't easily reveal his scheme. He snorted coldly and replied disdainfully, "Hmph! What does this have to do with you? Why bother meddling, fellow Daoist?"

However, he clearly underestimated Hu Le's abilities. Hu Le's cultivation was unfathomable, far exceeding the Taoist's imagination. He had already discerned the man's true purpose with just a few calculations.

This person merely saw this universe heading towards its end and wanted to collect a sliver of the final blessings that would arise after its destruction.

"Hmph! You really think I'm unaware of your schemes?" Hu Le's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

His body rose slowly like a wisp of smoke. After reaching a certain height, he stopped, raised his arm, and pointed sharply towards the distant end of the Heavenly Dao.

In an instant, the entire Heavenly Dao seemed to have suffered a tremendous impact and began to tremble wildly.

All timelines, past, present, and future, simultaneously felt this powerful tremor.

At the end of the Heavenly Dao, where the final calamity of creation resides, a dazzling seven-colored spiritual light suddenly burst forth.

At the same time, an extremely powerful and violent aura of destruction surged out instantly, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs, wanting to devour everything.

In the next instant, a huge, pitch-black stone millstone transformed into a massive shadow that flickered briefly within the ball of spiritual light before vanishing as if it had never existed.

However, this brief flash caused the Taoist's expression to change drastically, and a sense of surprise and tension welled up in his heart.

He never expected that his scheme would be so easily seen through.

What annoyed him even more was that the precious spiritual treasure that was originally hidden at the end of the Heavenly Dao was now exposed to the other party without any cover.

It should be noted that this spiritual treasure is currently only an embryo that has not yet fully formed. Only when the universe and the Heavenly Dao completely collapse will it be able to seize the opportunity to rise up and take that crucial wisp of the power of creation in the final calamity.

Only after continuous tempering and refinement will it have the opportunity to grow into a true destructive spirit treasure.

The Taoist priest suddenly realized that his carefully planned scheme had been completely exposed. In an instant, his face turned extremely gloomy and cold, as ruthless as the frost in winter.

At this moment, his heart was like a war drum being beaten by a gale, pounding incessantly, filled with tension and unease.

He mistakenly believed that the person in front of him was trying to steal this rare opportunity from him.

If that's the case, then the situation is quite bad...

However, the reality was not as he had imagined.

Hu Le is no ordinary person; he now controls countless rare treasures, including even the supreme treasure of the Primordial Chaos.

How could such a mere treasure destined for destruction possibly catch his eye?

Even if this treasure were successfully crafted, its power would at best only be comparable to those innate supreme treasures.

For Hu Le, who possesses such a profound level of cultivation, these so-called treasures are nothing but fleeting clouds.

After all, when a cultivator reaches such a transcendent state, apart from a very few mysterious and unpredictable primordial treasures, nothing else, whether primordial spiritual treasures or innate treasures, can have much effect on him anymore...

Just as the Taoist was beginning to misunderstand, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

However, he couldn't help but recall the overwhelming momentum and immense power displayed by the opponent's wisp of divine thought just now, and hesitated for a moment, forcibly suppressing the urge to attack.

"Hmph! What? Do you want to fight me?" Hu Le glanced at the Taoist with his empty eyes and then let out a contemptuous sneer.

The Taoist's face darkened, but he was not provoked into losing his temper.

He knew that the opponent's strength was unfathomable, and that if he acted rashly, he might be doomed.

"That depends on whether you understand the meaning of 'it's good to be confused sometimes,' and whether you have eradicated your own greed..." Despite his displeasure, the Taoist priest forced himself to remain calm and replied firmly...
