Within the universe of the Purple Emperor Pagoda, a demonic shadow flickers.
Countless galaxies were destroyed in that instant, and half of the endless universe was stained with demonic light and despair, turning into chaos.
But Zhou Wuji, as the master of this universe, did not rise. Instead, he slowly shook his head and smiled faintly:
"You're still as irritable as ever."
After saying this, Zhou Wuji moved his fingers slightly, and the countless galaxies that had been destroyed were instantly restored, while a jade tea table suddenly appeared at the center of the universe.
Zhou Wuji smiled and turned to the side, saying:
"Jue Tian, please!"
The man known as Jue Tian gave Zhou Wuji a cold look, but ultimately said nothing more and slowly took his seat.
Zhou Wuji said no more. He sat quietly opposite Jue Tian, and with a flick of his finger, an immeasurable galaxy in the universe transformed into tea and poured into the teacups in front of the two of them.
Jue Tian drank the water of the Milky Way before him in one gulp, and with the composure of Wu Zhou Wu Ji, he spoke first:
"Do you know what price it paid to stop you?"
Zhou Wuji remained calm, took a sip of the starry river in his cup, and answered slowly:
"To get you involved, the price must be considerable."
Jue Tian looked at Zhou Wuji's indifferent expression, and his dark, abyss-like eyes blazed with supreme demonic light:
"You really are heartless, or rather, you're ruthless. You don't even care about your own grandson's life!"
Zhou Wuji slowly put down his teacup, his eyes slightly raised as endless Dao runes flowed within them, yet he remained utterly calm:
"Everything is preordained. Even if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have made a move."
Upon hearing this, Jue Tian's previously restrained aura surged once more. Behind his ferocious black armor, the scarlet cloak moved without wind, making a crackling sound.
Bang!
Jue Tian slammed his palm onto the jade platform, and the jade platform, which was like a celestial object, shattered into pieces in an instant.
The galaxy that Zhou Wuji had just restored was destroyed once again, and the demonic power burst through the universe, causing the entire cosmos to tremble!
"He's already died once, do you, as his grandfather, want him to die again?!"
Jue Tian's voice was extremely cold and fierce, filled with endless rage. As soon as he finished speaking, the universe collapsed, and billions of cries of grief echoed throughout the cosmos.
Zhou Wuji remained calm and composed; the demonic power roared, yet it could not shake him in the slightest.
"Didn't you also take a price from others and help them scheme against my grandson!"
Speaking of this week, Wuji smiled slightly and said again with a hint of joking:
"Does it know you're Xingdou's grandfather? It actually asked you to stop me."
Jue Tian paused slightly, suppressed his anger, and coldly snorted:
"Hmph, if it weren't for your so-called scheme, I would have crushed that reptile long ago!"
Zhou Wuji slowly shook his head and said calmly:
"It was never a threat. Whether to kill it was always a matter of a single thought. The important thing is whether Xingdou can fully realize this."
Jue Tian's expression remained cold as he looked at Zhou Wuji's face and said in a deep voice:
"So you gave that power to him! And you just watched him get schemed against!"
If I hadn't come today, would you still be allowing your petty thugs to bully my grandson?
Zhou Wuji glanced at Jue Tian indifferently and said:
"I've said it before, I won't make a move whether you come or not."
Unexpectedly, Jue Tian was not angry. Instead, he frowned and looked at Zhou Wuji in a low voice, saying:
"Has that thing in the ancestral land dragged you down to this point?"
Zhou Wuji did not refute, but sighed softly and said helplessly:
"It's my own fault. I used up too much energy back then, allowing it to release a wisp of its energy..."
The billions of demonic lights surrounding Jue Tian vanished instantly, his aura receded once more, and the shattered universe returned to calm. After a long silence, he stopped asking further questions and instead began to answer Zhou Wuji's initial question:
“You sacrificed your Great Unity back then, and it took the opportunity to intercept some of it. It also exchanged your Great Unity and some treasures for my help to stop you for a while.”
Zhou Wuji chuckled to himself:
"So that's why. But it does think highly of you, sending you to stop this old man."
Jue Tian felt insulted, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Shut up! Do you still want your unification?"
Zhou Wuji slowly shook his head and smiled calmly:
"No need, I've fixed a new one."
After saying that, Zhou Wuji stood up, stood with his hands behind his back at the center of the universe, and in an instant, terrifying Dao principles surged around him, the Great Dao of the Heavens surrounded him, and the long river of time appeared under his feet.
Seeing this, Jue Tian's brows trembled, but he seemed used to it and quickly relaxed, letting out a disgruntled snort:
"Hmph! What a family of perverts!"
However, at this moment, the universe suddenly stopped running, and everything was frozen in time, except for the two people in the Ziwei Taihuang Pagoda who were unaffected.
Jue Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised, and said:
"But I didn't expect that the thing you found for Xingdou was so capable that it could stop the space-time between the two worlds."
Zhou Wuji shook his head slightly, dissatisfied:
"It's just a false flow rate; it's useless to people like you and me who have independent time."
His dark, abyss-like eyes pierced through everything as he gazed into the distance, his voice tinged with worry:
"With its help, Tianjizi is almost equivalent to a being that defies the innate in the primordial realm. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold Tianjizi for long."
Moreover, since primordial elements sometimes remain at spacetime nodes, Tianjizi was able to find that weak realm.
Zhou Wuji glanced at Jue Tian slightly:
"What are you still doing here? Are you really going to risk your life for it?"
Jue Tian was taken aback by Zhou Wuji's question and said somewhat angrily:
"Didn't you tell me not to interfere in matters concerning the stars?"
Zhou Wuji immediately said in a somewhat shameless manner:
"That's what that timeline said, what does it have to do with now?"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Jue Tian and continued:
"Or do you want me to sacrifice the newly established Great Unification again?"
Jue Tian's fists were clenched so tightly they cracked. If he weren't outmatched by Zhou Wuji, he would have loved to smash that shameless old face to pieces with one punch.
"Being related to you by marriage is the worst thing that could have happened to me!"
Having said that, Jue Tian's demonic shadow vanished instantly, but before Zhou Wuji could leave, it reappeared, frowning as it asked:
"You really don't want your part of the unification?"
Zhou Wuji waved his hand impatiently:
"Old things are never as good as new ones. You can keep that thing and use it for whatever you want!"
A wicked smile curled at the corner of Jue Tian's lips as he said mockingly:
"Very good, the news that the Emperor Jue Tian suppressed Zhou Wuji and destroyed his unified empire will now have substantial proof."
Before he finished speaking, Jue Tian's demonic shadow vanished once more, leaving no trace.
Zhou Wuji shook his head helplessly, looking meaningfully at the spot where Jue Tian had disappeared:
"That should be enough. There's still time."
But then those Dao True Eyes looked down, their gaze piercing through countless obstacles, staring directly at the immeasurable behemoth beneath the ancestral land, their voice turning extremely cold:
"You'd better behave yourself. I don't have the same sentimentality for you as the Emperor Ancestor did for you. Don't force me to completely destroy you!"
