"You brat, you can't escape!" Old Niu roared, his voice like thunder, deafening.
He stretched out his hand, which instantly transformed into an enormous hand of primordial energy, reaching out to grab the Heavenly Emperor from mid-air.
This giant hand was tens of thousands of feet in size, covering the sky and the sun, as if it wanted to envelop the entire world.
A giant hand hovered in the air, its fingers swirling with chaotic energy, and a powerful suction force emanated from its palm, like a black hole, freezing billions of miles of space and time.
The Heavenly Emperor suddenly felt the surrounding void tighten, and he was instantly frozen in place.
He was terrified and immediately began to circulate his internal magic power to try and break free from the restraints.
But Lao Niu's strength far surpassed his. He struggled desperately and finally managed to break free, but at this moment, that giant hand of Yuan Qi had already crushed down, moving at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of him and grabbed him in its palm.
A hint of despair flashed in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes; he knew that he would probably not be able to escape this time.
He tried his best to break free, but the old ox was too strong, and he couldn't budge it at all.
Just then, the old ox suddenly stopped. He looked at the Heavenly Emperor in his hand and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Heavenly Emperor, I will not kill you, but I will make you taste what it's like to be worse than dead!" the old ox sneered.
With that, he grabbed the Heavenly Emperor and flung him violently onto a burning star.
That star was entirely crimson, burning fiercely, and its temperature was so high that even an indestructible Dao Fruit would melt into gas in an instant.
The Heavenly Emperor screamed in agony as he was engulfed by the flames of the star. His body began to melt, and he suffered excruciating pain.
Old Niu stood at a distance, watching the scene coldly, a faint but pleased smile playing on his lips.
However, the Heavenly Emperor is, after all, the Heavenly Emperor, possessing the cultivation of a great supernatural being, and naturally he will not perish easily.
Seeing that his physical body was about to be vaporized, he immediately roared, and a dazzling celestial light surged from his body, forcing the raging flames around him to the side.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up abruptly, and a dazzling burst of light instantly emanated from behind him.
In the next instant, endless incense smoke gushed out, and countless worlds, large and small, rose and fell like bubbles in the clear light.
The next moment, the Heavenly Emperor had a thought, and the clear light behind him quickly flowed and spread out. Those bubble-like worlds roared out like a storm and blasted towards the old ox.
These worlds may appear to be only the size of bubbles, but each world contains a boundless universe within it, which was created by the Heavenly Emperor using mysterious methods.
The bubbles rushed in, and before they even reached the old ox, they rapidly expanded, transforming into real worlds, which then appeared layer upon layer above the old ox's head, crushing down with the force of Mount Tai.
With a deafening roar, it was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.
The layers upon layers of worlds pressed down, and the void above the old ox's head shattered instantly, plunging the area below into nothingness.
Old Niu was the first to be affected. An endless pressure surged towards him like a tide, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"Roar!" The old ox roared to the sky, his muscles tensed, veins bulging, and a powerful demonic aura burst forth from his body.
The large stick in his hand was also raised, its light flashing.
This great staff was a divine weapon, and as soon as it was raised, it changed with the wind, transforming into a giant pillar supporting the sky, and with unparalleled power, it smashed down on the boundless world above.
\"boom!\"
A series of earth-shattering explosions rang out. Under the fierce blows of the giant stick, world after world exploded one after another, as if the end of the world had arrived. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the universe shattered, and all things were destroyed, returning to the two energies of purity and turbidity.
Then, the big stick was inserted into it, and the old ox stirred it violently, causing the clear and turbid energies to become chaotic and disordered, turning everything into a messy paste.
Seeing how fierce the old ox was, the Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He swallowed hard, then suddenly let out a shout and forcefully pushed the chaotic energy from the shattered world toward the old ox.
With a tremendous roar, the boundless destructive energy surged towards the old ox like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Heavenly Emperor leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of rainbow light, and sped towards the depths of the starry sky.
His figure flickered a few times, and he traversed billions of miles of starry sea, arriving in the cosmic void beyond the starry sky.
At that moment, the old ox had just leaped out of that endless aura of destruction.
After quickly determining his location, he did not hesitate to chase after the direction in which the Heavenly Emperor had left.
The Heavenly Emperor fled wildly through the void of the universe. After some time, a chaotic expanse suddenly appeared ahead.
He saw the chaotic current of energy floating in the void and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He immediately rushed to the chaotic currents of energy and shouted, "Is the Sage still here? Li Daozhi requests an audience!"
As his voice reached the depths of chaos, the chaotic energy suddenly trembled and split in the middle, revealing a clear, luminous path that stretched out to his feet.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's face.
The next moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest in a green robe and hemp shoes walked out from the end of the clear light.
The Taoist priest had a gentle face, with a small mustache on his lips, and a kind and benevolent appearance.
"So it is His Majesty's imperial procession. I am a step late, please forgive me." The Taoist priest came before the Heavenly Emperor and bowed leisurely.
The Heavenly Emperor hurriedly returned the greeting, a forced smile appearing on his face: "So it's Fellow Daoist Lingxu. You're too kind. Does the Sage wish to see me?"
Lingxu Daoist nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
Having said that, he turned and walked back the way he came. The Heavenly Emperor immediately straightened his somewhat disheveled hair and clothes before following him.
When the two arrived at the end of Qingguang Avenue, an endless expanse of land and sky appeared before them.
This world was as beautiful as a fairyland, captivating and enchanting. Auspicious radiance flowed through the void, forming a mysterious barrier that enveloped the entire world.
A faint, auspicious light drifted between heaven and earth, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Above that void, the radiant light and auspicious energy condensed into a vast continent, resembling an island suspended in the air.
On this continent stand rows of magnificent and imposing Taoist palaces.
These Taoist palaces are scattered across the continent in a well-organized manner, each radiating a dazzling light that captivates all who behold them.
This is the place where the eternal sage resides, filled with endless mystery and majesty.
As soon as Emperor Li Daozhi stepped into one of the halls, his gaze was immediately drawn to the Holy One sitting in the hall.
The sage was dressed in a green robe, with a kind face, deep and wise eyes, and an aura of transcendence emanating from him...
