The energy aftershocks from the collision spread out like ripples, and this powerful force, like a surging wave, swept over everything around it.
Qin Feng was the first to be hit, and was slammed hard by this force. His body was like a kite with a broken string, and he was forced to retreat.
Every step felt like walking on cotton, with no foothold. Eventually, he could no longer support himself, and a mouthful of blood gushed out like a fountain.
The Primordial Dao Ancestor was not entirely spared either; he too was shaken by the recoil.
However, he was, after all, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, whose strength was unfathomable, and he quickly regained his footing.
But a flash of anger crossed his eyes, which intensified his killing intent, as if he wanted to tear Qin Feng to pieces.
Just as the Primordial Dao Ancestor was preparing to gather the power of the Heavenly Dao once again to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Feng, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng like a ghost.
That figure was actually Xuan Guang!
Xuan Guang quickly formed hand seals, and a strange power emanated from his hands.
This force was like an invisible barrier, forcefully suppressing the Heavenly Dao power of the Primordial Dao Ancestor.
"Run!" Xuan Guang shouted, his voice booming like thunder in Qin Feng's ears.
Qin Feng's heart tightened; he knew this was definitely not the time to be reckless.
He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to unleash an extremely profound escape technique.
In an instant, his body transformed into a streak of light like lightning and sped away.
Upon seeing this, the Primordial Dao Ancestor was instantly enraged. He watched helplessly as Qin Feng escaped right under his nose, and his anger burned even more fiercely.
He roared, his voice deafening, as if the whole world was trembling.
However, when he tried to take a step to catch up with Qin Feng, he suddenly found that his body was bound by an invisible force and he could not move.
"If you want to pursue him, you'll have to get past me first!" Xuan Guang's voice came coldly, revealing a resolute determination.
The Primordial Dao Ancestor's eyes widened in fury, as if they were about to spit fire, staring intently at the mysterious light before him, and roared, "You cowardly rat who hides his head and tail, how dare you try to stop me from going my way!"
His voice boomed like thunder in the World Tree space, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
Before he finished speaking, the power of the Heavenly Dao around the Primordial Dao Ancestor surged wildly like a raging wave. His muscles tensed and his veins bulged, clearly as he tried his best to break free from the invisible restraints.
However, Xuan Guang stood there as steadily as a mountain, completely ignoring the anger and struggle of the Primordial Dao Ancestor.
His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and a strange power flowed from his hands like silkworms spinning silk, constantly reinforcing the invisible binding.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, one being the furious and desperately struggling Primordial Dao Ancestor, and the other being the calm and composed Xuan Guang.
In the midst of this tense standoff, suddenly, the Primordial Dao Ancestor let out a cold laugh, a laugh filled with disdain and mockery: "You think you can trap me like this? You underestimate this Dao Ancestor too much!"
Having said that, he abandoned his efforts to break free of the restraints and instead activated the power of the Heavenly Dao within his body once more. A thin but terrifying beam of energy shot out like lightning in the direction Qin Feng had fled.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Guang's expression changed drastically. He clearly hadn't expected the Primordial Dao Ancestor to launch an attack at this moment. He quickly diverted some of his power to block the energy beam.
However, in that instant of distraction, the Primordial Dao Ancestor suddenly trembled, breaking free of some of his restraints, and like a maddened beast, bared his fangs and claws as he pounced on Xuan Guang.
Left with no other choice, Xuan Guang had to temporarily abandon his obstruction of the energy beams and focus all his efforts on dealing with the fierce attack from the Primordial Dao Ancestor.
In an instant, the World Tree space was filled with radiant light and overflowing energy.
The two figures intertwined in the dazzling light, each collision triggering a violent energy fluctuation, and the space itself was constantly shattered and reformed under the impact of this powerful force.
In this thrilling confrontation, Xuan Guang used all his skills to desperately resist the fierce attacks of the Primordial Dao Ancestor, which were like a storm.
However, despite his best efforts, he found it increasingly difficult to continue.
At this critical moment, something unexpected happened.
The World Tree space suddenly trembled violently, as if the entire world was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, countless mysterious and ancient runes streaked across the void like meteors, quickly converging to form a massive and sturdy barrier.
This barrier, like an impregnable fortress, stood between the Primordial Dao Ancestor and Xuan Guang, forcefully separating them.
Upon seeing this, the Primordial Dao Ancestor's eyes widened, his face filled with anger. He was clearly shocked and furious at this sudden turn of events.
"This is... the will of the World Tree!" the Primordial Dao Ancestor roared, his voice echoing like thunder in the World Tree space.
Xuan Guang was completely taken aback when the World Tree intervened to save him at such a crucial moment.
However, the current situation did not allow him much time to think. He quickly regained his senses and looked intently at the Primordial Dao Ancestor opposite him.
With just a glance, Xuan Guang vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, like lightning.
When the Primordial Dao Ancestor saw the mysterious light disappear in an instant, his brows furrowed slightly, but he did not show any intention to give chase.
After all, Xuan Guang was born from the World Tree, just like the World Tree's own child.
Therefore, when Xuan Guang faces a life-or-death crisis, the World Tree will undoubtedly step in to save him without hesitation.
Although the Primordial Dao Ancestor possessed the power to destroy the World Tree, he was well aware that doing so would not benefit him and might even bring unexpected consequences.
"This is a one-time exception! There will be no next time!" The Primordial Dao Ancestor warned the World Tree in a cold voice.
However, the World Tree did not respond at all.
The Primordial Dao Ancestor didn't care. His gaze was like two bolts of lightning, shooting straight towards the direction Qin Feng had fled.
The Primordial Dao Ancestor swiftly formed hand seals, his movements as natural and fluid as flowing clouds and water.
As he moved, a strange rune shimmered with dazzling light in his hand. This rune contained endless mysteries, as if it were the most ancient secret in the universe.
Just as the runes were flashing, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in the void.
Immediately afterward, the Primordial Dao Ancestor stepped into the spatial passage without hesitation. His figure vanished into the passage in an instant, like a ghost.
