Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"You... what are you trying to do?"

"If you do this, His Majesty Asna will never forgive you."

Watching Yi Chen tilt his neck slightly and approach step by step, Te She's Tao Heart, cultivated painstakingly over the years, finally began to waver.

Between life and death lies great terror; the higher one's station, the harder it is to escape this fear.

Only those who have truly had much fear losing it, while those who have never gained anything are willing to sacrifice their lives for the chance to possess.

Te She retreated step by step, desperately attempting over a hundred different methods to contact the Red Flower Buddha outside, hoping for a glimmer of survival. Yet within Yi Chen's Magnetic Field Sky Lock Divine Ability, all his efforts were rendered futile.

Finally, when there was no more room to retreat, the terror in Te She's eyes reached its peak!

"No!"

If outsiders were present at this moment, they would witness a strange black snake retreating incessantly before a cultivator whose stature paled in comparison.

The sunlight shone on Te She's back, casting a great shadow in the path of the approaching cultivator, yet the warm rays could not dispel the chill in Te She's heart.

Yi Chen wore a faint smile, slowly extending one hand.

The True Yang Spirit burst forth from his palm, and suddenly, an enormous hand descended from the heavens, viciously clutching Te She's throat.

Within Te She's Sea of Consciousness, everything immediately plunged into endless darkness.

....

....

The Red Flower Buddha sat cross-legged in the void, head lowered and gazing down at the peculiar world beneath his feet. His thick brows furrowed tightly together in one place.

For some reason, the world filled with boiling Gang Wind beneath his feet gave him an odd, uncomfortable feeling.

Just now, he had already sent his second message to Te She, but the result was like a stone sinking into the ocean, receiving no reply whatsoever.

"To go, or not to go?"

At this moment, a dilemma stood before the Red Flower Buddha.

As inner conflict waged war within the Red Flower Buddha's heart, a peculiar spiral of Gang Wind suddenly rose from the strange world beneath his feet.

From the center of this spiral, an enormous black snake head emerged.

Te She rode the mist and, in the blink of an eye, arrived before the Red Flower Buddha with delight written across its face, saying:

"Senior Red Flower Buddha, good news!"

"Who would have thought that within this tiny Realm there's a hidden tomb of a Dao Fruit Realm cultivator."

"Under my interrogation, that native called Yi Chengzi confessed it all. Turns out, he found many treasures on the outskirts of that tomb, which allowed him to cultivate to his current Realm."

"Moments ago, I explored it briefly. The formations within the tomb are exceedingly formidable, and the restrictions at the core isolate heaven and earth, which is why I couldn't respond to Senior's messages earlier. But no matter how powerful those formations are, they're mere dead constructs. Why don't you join me now, Senior Red Flower Buddha? You can take eighty percent of the treasures, and I'll take twenty percent. What do you say?"

Te She spewed thick clouds of mist from its mouth as it approached, explaining to the Red Flower Buddha all the while.

As it drew closer, the more the Red Flower Buddha listened, the broader the smile on his face grew.

"So that's it. Now it makes sense. No wonder my repeated messages to Fellow Taoist received no reply; this explains everything."

"Te She, Fellow Taoist, you truly are... die!"

"Where did this monster come from, still daring to try and deceive me!"

Suddenly, the Red Flower Buddha's smile vanished, and his expression turned ice-cold and sinister.

In the void, a massive blood-red tendril materialized, viciously slamming into the rapidly approaching Te She, slicing it cleanly into two halves in the blink of an eye and scattering black blood across the skies.

"Haha, foolish beast! Using such crude tricks to try and trick me, steal upon my position? Let me tell you—my senior brother was slain by my ambush as well."

Amidst his hearty laughter, the Red Flower Buddha's Dharma Power surged, transforming into a streak of red light as he turned and prepared to depart.

Before him, an enormous black oval-shaped vortex over a hundred meters tall gradually took shape.

Just as his form was about to vanish into the black vortex, the red streak of escape light abruptly paused, and shock painted itself across the Red Flower Buddha's face as he revealed his original form.

Just now, he had collided with a solid, iron-like barrier—one which had blocked his teleportation spell.

Damn it.

That wasn't an iron barrier.

It was a cultivator's chest!

*Hsss!*

Yi Chen's soul burst forth, abruptly pulling the Red Flower Buddha tightly into his embrace as a storm of Extreme Origin flooded the area.

His left hand viciously clutched the Red Flower Buddha's chest, while his right hand seized the golden Command Insignia beneath his feet, his arm and left hand joining forces!

"Fuck your mother! You dared to kill my dog? Then you'll be my dog instead!"

"Such gall you have!"

"No!" The Red Flower Buddha's eyes instantly brimmed with terror, and he couldn't help but let out a desperate roar.

He had underestimated him—never imagining that the earlier appearance of Te She was nothing more than a decoy. This terrifying cultivator before him had seized this fleeting moment to sneak up on him.

The Red Flower Buddha struggled with all his might, yet under an inexplicable Alien Force sealing him, his efforts were futile. His flesh began to decay and fall away in frenzy.

Yi Chen's grin was wild. He had to admit that this Alien Race expert before him did have some tricks, managing to evade Lingxia Realm's Seal Heaven Lock Earth Magnetic Field. If not for sensing Te She's thoughts, Yi Chen might not have realized there was another formidable cultivator outside.

Still, it worked out well—he would take them all down in one swoop.

When raising a dog, go big or go home!

*Boom!*

In the void above, countless streams of information flashed across Yi Chen's line of sight like an endless cascade. After one breath, two massive explosions of red and gold light erupted before Yi Chen, and a streak of golden light broke free from his grasp, darting into the black vortex, vanishing without a trace.
