Zhuge Tianhua unleashed his Treasure Dropping White Jade Flute against Dongfang Wang, filling the stage with piercing sound waves and beams. Dongfang Wang countered with the massive World Mountain, emitting a strange buddhist light that shattered Zhuge's defenses and annihilated his soul in moments. Victorious, Dongfang Wang challenged Ye Mo to a duel in the void, which Ye Mo calmly accepted amid the stunned guests.

Dongfang Wang gazed intently at Zhen Bingyu. He burned with curiosity to see her expression once he returned after slaying Ye Mo.

With that in mind, Dongfang Wang strode out from the guest palace and ripped apart the space ahead of him.

Ye Mo yearned even more fiercely to eliminate Dongfang Wang. He cupped his fists in salute toward Jiao Dan and Tang Congyin before departing.

No one trailed after them. Everyone grasped the intentions burning in the duo's minds. Each coveted precisely what the other held. All understood that no matter the victor, any onlookers would face a tragic end.

Yi Yuanzhou watched Ye Mo and Dongfang Wang tear through space right on demon race territory. His face stayed composed, yet fury raged in his heart.

Only today had he beheld Dongfang Wang's true might. He finally comprehended that he matched up nowhere near Dongfang Wang. The man's boldness in shredding space here revealed his complete disdain for both the demon race and Yi Yuanzhou himself.

Ye Mo stirred less ire in him by comparison. That one had always acted arrogantly, ripping open space even amid the dragon race. What reason would he have to show deference to the demon race?

“Who are you to Ye Mo?” Zhantai Yi questioned Zhen Bingyu.

Zhen Bingyu smiled. “I’m his dao partner.”

“You’re lying...” Zhantai Yi knew Zhen Bingyu remained a virgin, but she held back from stating it outright since she shared that very status.

Zhen Bingyu dropped her serene smile. “Whether I’m lying or not is none of your concern. I never asked you to believe it.”

Fan Gao abruptly inquired, “Goddess Bingyu, that Dongfang Wang wields the World Mountain and mighty god arts. Aren’t you concerned for Ye Mo in the slightest?”

“Why should I worry about him?” Zhen Bingyu countered.

All knew Fan Gao aimed to probe for details, yet Zhen Bingyu’s sharp retort left him utterly speechless.

...

“Ye Mo, back on Earth, simply because you were a cultivator, you trampled the Dongfang family like dogs. Today, I’ll make you taste what it’s like to be one.” Dongfang Wang snarled viciously at Ye Mo. His surging killing intent threatened to shatter the surrounding void.

“You’ll soon learn that even as primordial essence, you’re still just a dog.” Ye Mo replied coolly.

“Haha...” Dongfang Wang burst into laughter. “I’ll show you what peerless truly means. I, Dongfang Wang, am peerless. Once I slay you, I’ll seize your essence spirit and claim Zhen Bingyu...”

Dongfang Wang then hurled forth the World Mountain. Demon and buddhist lights erupted, unleashing millions of ripples that solidified into a tangible realm domain.

Anyone witnessing this would realize Dongfang Wang hadn’t unleashed his full power against Zhuge Tianhua.

“Demon buddhist...” Dongfang Wang bellowed. This marked his ultimate god art, the demon buddhist realm domain. Beneath this divine technique, even the mightiest primordial essence would swiftly yield to the demon buddhist radiance.

Ye Mo appeared oblivious to the oncoming World Mountain. He stepped leisurely through the void and flicked his hand. “Samsara...”

Dongfang Wang reeled in shock at Ye Mo’s dismissal of his demon buddhist god art. Before he could summon another, an endless torrent of time and samsara engulfed his domain, saturating his heart and body.

In that instant, he relived his soaring pride upon attaining primordial essence, then the sheer ecstasy of claiming the World Mountain and Fusang tree.

Time surged like ruthless water. Barely had he shaken off that joy when the bliss of dao fruits harvested in the chaos star realm swept over him. He felt again the thrill of his dao vindication, the vision of that goddess granting him immortal crystals.

These moments slipped away like fleeting sand, unstoppable and leaving no trace. Greater marvels lay in store: acquiring the abstruse yellow orb, the demon race’s supreme divine sutra. He witnessed his fusion of demon and buddhist dao...

Suddenly, he perceived others aging under time’s relentless march while his own time reversed, marks diminishing.

The Fusang tree unleashed a green beam that erased the temporal stains. Dongfang Wang jolted awake. He discovered his World Mountain pinned beneath a massive purple sword. Immersed in Ye Mo’s realm domain, he stood frozen, unable to budge.

“What god art was that?” Dongfang Wang mumbled in stunned disbelief. Ye Mo had thoroughly dominated him. All he could sense was the inexorable flow of time.

“Ages...” Ye Mo intoned calmly. No matter Dongfang Wang’s peerless prowess, it held no significance against him. His dao transcended conventional universe great daos. He had vindicated his personal chaos dao. Since his return from the nether realm, that dao edged ever closer to perfection.

“Ye Mo, I, Dongfang Wang, am peerless, yet I underestimated you—I despise this...” Flames erupted from Dongfang Wang’s eyes. He refused to concede any weakness to Ye Mo. Subjugation struck before the battle even began. Had he not underestimated his foe, this defeat would never have come.

Who rivaled his extraordinary fortune? The abstruse yellow orb, Fusang tree, the demon race’s foremost sutra, dao fruits...

How could he not lose his mind? Possessing such mighty treasures, yet captured by Ye Mo!

Abruptly, Ye Mo summoned nine golden bone arrows and a golden bow. These arrows whirled around him without launching. Their overwhelming killing power had already depleted every bit of life force nearby.

Gazing into Dongfang Wang’s stunned eyes, Ye Mo declared, “Behold the Golden Arrow of Divine Extermination. All nine arrows are mine. If I chose to slay you with them, three would be all you could withstand.”

Next, Ye Mo produced a massive gourd and announced, “This is the Three Treasure Primordial Essence Gourd, a Primordial Spirit Artefact. If I used this against you, three seconds would be your limit.”

Then, Ye Mo conjured a blue flame, proclaiming, “This is the Divine Flame Blue Like Morning Sky, the supreme flame of the universe. If I scorched you with it, you’d turn to dust in an instant.”

Little Blue eyed Dongfang Wang with disdain and scoffed, “This trash doesn’t even merit my flames.”

Ye Mo then summoned more treasures, “This is Primordial Spirit Artefact Melt Space, Primordial Spirit Artefact Chaos Gourd, Primordial Spirit Artefact Immortal Palace Landscape Painting...”

Seeing Dongfang Wang’s stupefied face, Ye Mo unleashed nine Great Primordial God Runes. These runes fully shackled the World Mountain, releasing Zi Xu.

As Zi Xu came to rest in Ye Mo’s hand, he gestured and said, “This is my top magic artefact, Zi Xu. A single strike from it would end you. Incidentally, I just deployed the Great Primordial God Rune—that takes only a second to kill you.”

Facing all these artifacts, Dongfang Wang stood too shocked to utter a word. Not one magic artefact or god art from Ye Mo had been used to overpower him. How vast was the chasm between their strengths?

He once deemed himself unmatched, yet now grasped the essence of true supremacy. Sweat beaded on his forehead. Amazement struck him that the universe harbored someone as formidable as Ye Mo.

At last, he understood why Ye Mo never regarded him seriously. Hatred boiled inside. Why did all these treasures still leave him inferior to Ye Mo?

Ye Mo spoke coldly, “I own all these but never flaunt them. You parade a single World Mountain before me and call that impressive?”

Dongfang Wang hacked up a huge glob of blood. He never imagined Ye Mo was dead serious. Despite reaching Primordial Essence, Ye Mo humiliated him like a beaten hound.

“Small ginseng, check this out—this is total trash. A few words and he’s spitting blood already? Primordial Essence? More like Primordial Trash,” Shadowless remarked.

“Right when I appeared, didn’t I hear him boast of being peerless? Does he mean peerless at spewing blood?” Small ginseng nodded in agreement.

Dongfang Wang vomited another mouthful of blood and sneered at Ye Mo, “Ye Mo, you’re so powerful, yet you still agreed to fight me. You mock me as a show-off, but pulling out all these makes you no different.”

Ye Mo flicked his hand, retracting everything, and stated, “If I’d wiped you out at the demon race with a mere gesture, would anyone dare strut around the Divine Dao Realm a hundred years from now?”

Dongfang Wang grasped Ye Mo’s meaning instantly. He gaped for a long while before erupting in laughter, “Ye Mo, I figured I was ruthless enough. Today, I see I’m nothing next to you.”
