Ye Qingtang confronts Ling Yan, who admits to knowing about her fate and the role of his karma bloodline. Suddenly, a star spirit appears, revealing himself to be the mysterious old man who spoke to Ye Qingtang's white tiger and claiming to be her elder brother. He demands her Heavenly Dao energy, but Ye Qingtang refuses, unleashing a powerful attack that nears the power of Tian. The old man, realizing the potential of her power, attacks her with a destructive force.

Raising her right arm, Ye Qingtang grasped at the empty air. As if made of brittle glass, everything within her reach shattered and vanished into nothingness.

"Remarkable," the old man mused, his gaze fixed upon Ye Qingtang. "You've managed to comprehend the power of the Heavenly Dao so swiftly after absorbing the main body's essence. Your innate potential indeed surpasses that of my sister." He recalled his past actions in the Fourth Domain, where he had resorted to a sneak attack to end his sister's life.

"Alas, even though you've assimilated the Heavenly Dao's power from your original form, full digestion will require time. During this interim, I shall seize all your cultivation," the old man declared with a smirk.

"You'll discover that only after you've tried," Ye Qingtang retorted, a sneer gracing her lips as she lunged into the fray against the elder.

From the Fourth Domain to the First, and then a return to the Fourth...

...

More than half a month elapsed in the blink of an eye.

A deep frown creased Ye Qingtang's brow. She had to concede that the God of Nature's capabilities had vastly exceeded her wildest estimations.

"It's finished!"

The God of Nature's voice echoed from the void.

Swish!

Ye Qingtang's hand moved reflexively, slashing behind her. In the subsequent moment, the old man's head was severed by her swift strike.

Astonishingly, a moment later, a new head sprouted from the old man's neck, leaving him utterly unharmed.

"Imperishable and indestructible..."

Ye Qingtang regarded the God of Nature with profound contemplation.

"Hahaha, precisely! I possess an unending, indestructible body. Apart from my sister's Burning Heaven Flames, no other force in existence can bring about my demise," the God of Nature proclaimed with booming laughter.

Ye Qingtang's mind raced.

So, this was the reason for the God of Nature's fear of his sister – she held the singular key to his destruction.

"Therefore, regardless of your strength, you are incapable of defeating me. All has been predetermined," the old man stated with certainty.

"The Domain, the Heavenly Dao Realm."

At this juncture, all the formidable experts of the Third Domain had converged outside the Great Immortal Temple. The prolonged battle, spanning over half a month, had sent shockwaves throughout the entire realm.

"Go forth and lend aid to Sister Ye Yue."

Feng Jiuyou commanded with an impassive expression.

However, their advance was halted by the large yellow dog. "This conflict is not yours to involve yourselves in. Furthermore, your intervention would only prove a hindrance to that young girl." While the canine's words were blunt, the assembled cultivators understood their absolute truth. The sheer caliber of this battle far transcended their ability to participate. The residual energy from Ye Qingtang's strikes, or the divine might of the old man, could effortlessly obliterate their very souls. This was no longer a contest for mortals; indeed, even immortals and gods could only observe from a vast distance. This confrontation was on par with the Heavenly Dao itself.

"Observe."

Suddenly, an Immortal Emperor gasped, pointing towards the heavens.

Behold! A colossal figure emerged from the roiling clouds, akin to a divine being descending! The visage of this immense entity bore an uncanny resemblance to Ye Qingtang.

"That lass is truly extraordinary. To have transformed into the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao's reincarnation... given sufficient time, I believe she would rival Shi Tian," the large yellow dog mused, deep in thought.

The colossal god, into which Ye Qingtang had transformed, extended a hand from the heavens and pressed downwards. Instantly, the entirety of the Divine Venerate Domain quaked violently. During the period Ye Qingtang existed as this colossal deity, the God of Nature was reduced to mere paste countless times. Yet, each instance, he regenerated, remaining perpetually undefeatable.
