Ye Qingtang engages in a prolonged battle with the God of Nature, who reveals his imperishable and indestructible body. Though Ye Qingtang's attacks repeatedly destroy him, he regenerates each time. As the fight continues, Ye Qingtang transforms into a giant god resembling herself, unleashing immense power that shakes the entire domain. Meanwhile, other experts watch from afar, unable to intervene in the battle of such magnitude.
The colossal divine figure vanished, returning Ye Qingtang to her original form. Having just grasped the divine power of the Heavenly Dao, she found it impossible to sustain for long.

"Haha, that is correct… Regrettably, you will be unable to maintain that state for an extended period. Even if you could sustain the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation state, you would still be incapable of defeating me. How can you possibly hope to vanquish me now in your depleted condition?" The God of Nature taunted Ye Qingtang with a smile.

Ye Qingtang offered no verbal response.

"While your potential is indeed vast, the rate at which you absorb the Heavenly Dao energy is simply too sluggish," the God of Nature elaborated.

"Cease your blather. I cannot defeat you, yet you are powerless against me as well," Ye Qingtang retorted.

"Is that truly the case?" The God of Nature let out a sinister chuckle. "The divine power of the Heavenly Dao is not exclusive to you."

As he uttered these words, the surrounding world plunged into an abyssal darkness, as if everything had been swallowed by a black hole.

"The Heavenly Dao… is now immutable." The God of Nature gazed at Ye Qingtang, a smirk playing on his lips. "For this duration, all existence within this realm will remain frozen, with the sole exception of myself."

"My body… it refuses to move…" Ye Qingtang's brow furrowed deeply.

"Naturally. You possess the same Heavenly Dao energy as I do. Consequently, your consciousness remains active, and you can still articulate words, but that is the extent of your capabilities." With swift movement, the God of Nature materialized directly beside Ye Qingtang.

He placed a hand upon her head. "It is finished… I shall ascend to become the new Tian. I will absorb your power!"

With that, the God of Nature unleashed his Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, initiating the extraction of the Heavenly Dao energy residing within Ye Qingtang's being.

"Hahahaha, just as anticipated… The concentration of your Heavenly Dao energy mirrors that of my sister precisely. No, it even surpasses hers!" The God of Nature gloated.

However, the God of Nature's triumphant smirk faltered quickly.

"Eh…" The God of Nature's expression shifted to one of bewilderment. "How peculiar. Why is there such a minuscule amount of Heavenly Dao energy within your body?"

The God of Nature came to the stark realization that the Heavenly Dao energy present in Ye Qingtang's body was virtually depleted by the time he commenced his absorption.

"Do you desire an explanation for this phenomenon?"

Ye Qingtang's lips curved into a subtle, knowing smile.

The instant Ye Qingtang finished speaking, her Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline, now invigorated by the Heavenly Dao energy, focused its predatory gaze upon the God of Nature, akin to an ancient, ferocious beast.

"This!"

The God of Nature's countenance contorted in shock as he detected Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. "You… also possess the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline?!"

"It transcends mere the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline itself…" Ye Qingtang fixed her gaze upon the God of Nature. "Did you not inquire about the whereabouts of my Heavenly Dao energy… I have channeled it all into nurturing the Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline. You must be aware of the consequences when such a significant quantity of Heavenly Dao energy is utilized for cultivating this bloodline…"

"A Heavenly Dao Devouring Bloodline… one that surpasses the god-level Heavenly Demon Devouring Bloodline?!" Utter disbelief washed over the God of Nature's features. "You are utterly insane! To do so would mean the complete dissipation of your Heavenly Dao power… solely for the sake of cultivating the bloodline!"

"Ha, why would it dissipate? It possesses the capacity to devour you, does it not?" Ye Qingtang inquired with a cunning smile.

"You court death!"

A furious roar erupted from the God of Nature as he desperately attempted to break free.

Yet, Ye Qingtang's Heavenly Dao Devouring Bloodline exerted an unyielding, seemingly infinite pull, rendering the God of Nature utterly immobile.

In that critical moment, the God of Nature could even perceive the faint echoes of the universe swirling within his own being.
