Chapter 1077: Laozi Self-Destructs

"Insidious? Luring you into a trap?"

Yin Qi chuckled, shook his head, and said: "Laozi, you think too highly of yourself. You don't actually believe that by devouring Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu and condensing the Pangu Primordial Spirit, you can defeat me, do you?

Besides, I truly did not expect that you would even devour your own brothers."

Laozi felt a stinging pain in his heart and roared: "Why couldn't I defeat you? If not for Nuwa and the others, I could not only defeat you, I could kill you. The Pangu Primordial Spirit is not something you can imagine."

"Very well."

Yin Qi said: "Since you are so confident, I will give you a chance. I want to see exactly how much weight you carry after condensing the Pangu Primordial Spirit."

"Father!"

"Yin Lang!"

"Great King!"

Yin Yu and the others exclaimed in alarm.

Having condensed the Pangu Primordial Spirit, even if Laozi had not inherited all of Pangu's cultivation and combat power, he should at least have fifty or sixty percent of it.

They acknowledged that Yin Qi was very strong, but he was definitely no match for Pangu.

Only Nuwa remained calm, for she was the one who understood Yin Qi best, so she waved her hand and said: "No need to worry. Let us fall back. Since Yin Lang has said so, he must have sufficient certainty."

Yin Yu and the others thought about it, and it seemed to be the case.

In their memories, Yin Qi had always been meticulous in his planning and possessed countless trump cards; it was impossible for him to commit such a low-level mistake as "dying for the sake of face."

"We retreat!"

Thus, they retreated one after another.

Seeing Nuwa and the others retreat, Laozi felt secretly delighted. He shouted sharply: "Di Qi, this time next year will be the anniversary of your death. Immortal Execution Sword Array, rise!"

Following his sharp shout, the four Immortal Execution Swords dispersed to the four directions, encircling Yin Qi within them.

It is said that hatred clouds one's mind; at this moment, he was completely unaware that with Yin Qi's personality, if he did not have sufficient certainty, how could he face him alone?

His mind was now entirely filled with thoughts of taking the opportunity to kill Di Qi.

As long as Di Qi died, although there were eleven of them including Nuwa, it would not be much of a problem.

Rumble!

As the Immortal Execution Sword Array rose, an endlessly vast and terrifying aura erupted, mixed with boundless destructive sword Qi, sweeping in all directions and pushing the surrounding Chaos back by another several hundred million miles.

A Sage Early Stage activating the Immortal Execution Sword Array versus a Saint Late Stage activating it—those are two completely different concepts.

Inside the Immortal Execution Sword Array.

"Hahaha!"

Laozi's laughter came from all directions.

He employed One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, with his original self and his manifestations each holding an immortal sword, standing in the four directions.

"Di Qi. I laugh at your arrogance. It is one thing that you did not let Nuwa and the others help you, but to face the Immortal Execution Sword Array without dodging or evading, allowing me to draw you into the array—today you are destined to die and your Dao to vanish."

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "Laozi, you have fallen into a demonic state, your mind is clouded. Do you think I am the type of person who would die for the sake of face?"

A cold, sharp glint flashed in Laozi's blood-red eyes: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, today I will let you see just how great the distance is between us!"

Boom!

Yin Qi no longer restrained his aura.

A vast and majestic aura erupted, causing the Immortal Execution Sword Array to begin to tremble. The four immortal swords rang out incessantly, shooting out streaks of terrifying sword Qi that swept in all directions.

Laozi's pupils constricted, revealing a look of horror.

It was too terrifying!

Looking at Yin Qi, memories of Pangu opening the Heaven surfaced in his mind; how similar their auras were!

Watching the horrified Laozi, Yin Qi said indifferently: "Are you feeling grief and indignation, wondering why you inherited the cultivation of Pangu's Creation Law but could not achieve Law Sanctification?

Are you also in despair because the Destruction Law was also snatched by someone else first?

Now, let me tell you the answer!"

As Yin Qi finished speaking, a profound and mysterious aura permeated his body, as if he were the Great Dao Source, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao.

Two illusory worlds emerged behind him.

These two worlds, one filled with the essence of creation and the other filled with the essence of destruction. Yet in both worlds, there were suns, moons, and stars, mountains, rivers, flowers, plants, and trees, and even various living beings and cultivators; they were exactly like two real Great Worlds.

"It's you, how could it be you!"

Laozi's pupils constricted, his whole body trembling, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Wasn't Di Qi a Fleshly Body Saint? How could he also have achieved sanctification through the Laws of Creation and Destruction?

How is this possible!

Suddenly, he thought of something and blurted out: "I understand, I understand! No wonder you never used the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner; you reversed them into the Opening Heaven Axe, didn't you?"

The Opening Heaven Axe contains the Laws of Creation and Destruction.

Previously, when his Law Sanctification failed, he had thought that someone in the depths of the Chaos had chanced upon the opportunity and snatched it first.

He had not expected that it was Di Qi who was behind it.

The other party had reversed the Three Innate Supreme Treasures into the Opening Heaven Axe, and then refined the Opening Heaven Axe; not only could he achieve Law Sanctification, but he could also easily cultivate to the Saint Peak, which is the Trunk Realm peak.

(Author's Note: Every word is accurate, read it carefully!)

This was the realm Pangu reached back then!

The same Fleshly Body Saint, the same Trunk Realm peak.

Compared to Pangu, Di Qi was only missing the Pure Yang Dao.

Laozi was in despair!

But there was more grief, indignation, and unwillingness!

He was the authentic successor of Pangu, having inherited Pangu's legacy; why should the Creation Law and the Destruction Law fall upon Di Qi!?

He was the true protagonist of the Primordial World!

"Not bad. But you guessed it too late."

"Die!"

"Deprive Creation! Ten Directions Annihilation!"

Yin Qi shouted in a low voice.

He unleashed both laws simultaneously; instantly, the vitality in Laozi's body began to drain rapidly, while endless destruction surged in from all directions, wantonly ravaging his physical body and Primordial Spirit.

Under the pincer attack from both inside and out, Laozi felt his life slipping away rapidly.

"Di Qi, even if I die, I will never let you have an easy time!"

"Explode! Explode! Explode!"

"All of you, explode for me!"

Laozi roared, having gone completely mad.

In this desperate situation, he detonated the Immortal Execution Sword Array, detonated his three Clones, and simultaneously detonated himself, along with all the Spirit Treasures on his person.

The self-detonation of an Innate Supreme Treasure—how terrifying!

The self-detonation of a Saint Late Stage, needless to say, was even more so.

If this were in the Primordial World, the entire Primordial World would have completely shattered and reverted to Chaos.

Boom—!

An epic explosion erupted in Chaos, just like the Big Bang of the universe.

This explosion was too terrifying; even Nuwa and the others could not dodge in time, and in an instant, they were sent flying by the shockwave, each of them spraying blood across Chaos, severely injured and on the verge of death.

As for the onlookers—Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, Minghe Laozu, and other Quasi-Saints—they were reduced to ashes before they could even let out a scream.

Even the entire Primordial World, like a basketball floating in a river, was pushed sideways by the impact for billions of miles.

The entire world was shaking and swaying, like a dilapidated thatched cottage, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Fortunately, Hongjun intervened in time, blocking the vast majority of the impact.

Otherwise, even if the Primordial World did not collapse, it would have been left in tatters.

Yet even so, a vast number of Mijing, Dongtian Fudi, and even minor worlds within the Primordial World were annihilated one after another, countless lives were implicated and died miserably, and even the Primordial Continent and the Four Seas were plagued by earthquakes and Volcano everywhere.

Countless stars fell from the Starry Sky, a scene of total apocalypse.
