"Alas, losing the Xuanyuan Cauldrons may be a blessing in disguise, as I can now fight with all my might," said Mo.

"Everyone says you are the Prehistoric World’s first prodigy since the Great Ancient era. Today, I shall gauge the true extent of your prowess," Mo added.

Huang Jiao sighed deeply, gradually regaining his composure. At the same time, a supremely powerful aura burst forth from him, as if it could shake the River of Time and Space, causing heaven and earth to thunder.

Not only was Jiang Chen suppressed by the Xuanyuan Cauldrons, but Huang Jiao of the Central Yellow Extreme was also subdued by the Emperor’s Qi.

It’s worth mentioning that the suppression of the Emperor’s Qi is impartial; not only can it erode the powers of others, but it can also diminish the abilities of its owner.

It is for this reason that even an emperor as powerful as the Human Emperor couldn’t rule over the Human Race indefinitely. He was forced to abdicate hastily after reigning for one million years because the increasingly potent Emperor’s Qi inside him made it impossible to stay.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to rule the Human Race forever, but rather that the Emperor’s Qi wouldn’t allow it. Failing to abdicate would lead to harm from the Emperor’s Qi. Instead of progressing, their cultivation could regress, or even face the risk of falling.

If even the Human Emperor couldn’t bear the Emperor’s Qi, all the more so for Huang Jiao.

The Xuanyuan Cauldrons indeed protected him, but at the same time, the domineering Emperor’s Qi from the cauldrons suppressed most of his own powers, preventing him from unleashing his full might.

Now, with the departure of the Xuanyuan Cauldrons from his body, Huang Jiao might have lost their protection, but his powerful cultivation could finally be unleashed.

Huang Jiao, a Great Divine Transcendent from the Central Yellow Extreme, one of the five Elders of Heaven Court and one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, was an exceedingly ancient Innate Divine Demon. He had cultivated to the peak of Quasi-Saint and was always on the verge of breaking through to become a Great Divine Transcendent.

His strength was beyond doubt. Even though Jiang Chen possessed two Dao Fruits, in terms of realm and power, he was still inferior to Huang Jiao.

Fortunately, in terms of Magic Treasures, Jiang Chen could surpass him by a notch. The advantage of Magic Treasures could compensate for the disparity in strength.

...

Boom!

In silence, Huang Jiao made his move. With a sweep of his large sleeves, countless golden thunders burst forth, forming a vast Thunder Sea that roared towards Jiang Chen.

"Thunder?"

Seeing the surging Thunder Sea, Jiang Chen felt belittled.

Indeed, the thunder method employed by Huang Jiao was terrifying. Amid the spread of golden thunder, it gave one the impression of divine retribution.

The strongest divine retribution thunder is called Zixiao Divine Thunder. Evidently, these golden thunders were Huang Jiao’s fearsome thunder method, inspired by the Taoist Ancestors’ Zixiao Divine Thunder. They possessed a fraction of its essence, proving extraordinarily powerful.

But who was Jiang Chen? The Prehistoric Ancestor of Thunder personally bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. For Huang Jiao to use thunder methods before him, the Ancestor of Thunder, was an immense slight. It was as if he didn’t regard him, the Ancestor of Thunder, with any respect at all.

Feeling slighted, Jiang Chen retaliated with his own thunder methods. Raising his hand, infinite lightning burst forth, as if all the thunder in the heavens were converging at this place.

Boom!

Endless thunder spread across the void, forming a vast domain of nine layers of heaven. At the same time, Jiang Chen’s indifferent voice thundered through.

"With this command, thunder creates and annihilates; heavens and earth overturn!"

Heavenly Dao Divine Ability, Nine Heavens Great Dao Command. The moment Jiang Chen’s voice fell, it was as if the Heavenly Dao from above the Nine Heavens had issued an edict to destroy the entire world.

Boom!

The supreme heavenly might erupted. The nine-layered heavenly domain exploded with a force of devastation, annihilating the oncoming golden thunder and continuing onward to engulf Huang Jiao.

"Is this the Ancestor of Thunder?"

"To command thunder to ascend to heaven, I am indeed inferior," Huang Jiao murmured to himself. Around him, unbeknownst when, a layer of yellow light had risen, protecting him securely. No matter how violent the surrounding storm of destruction, it couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

"Central Immutable Divine Light!"

Jiang Chen frowned, recognizing the origin of the yellow divine light enveloping Huang Jiao—it was his innate Divine Ability, the Central Immutable Divine Light.

This Divine Ability was a top-notch defensive ability from the Prehistoric World. During the Ancient Times, Huang Jiao meditated in front of Mount Buzhou for one million years. Understanding the immutability of the center, he then created this Divine Ability.

Mount Buzhou towered at the center of the Prehistoric World, unmovable since ancient times, suppressing the space-time of heaven and earth. Nothing could compete against it. This was the state Huang Jiao strived to achieve—to become Mount Buzhou itself, where nothing could harm him the slightest bit.

"Young friend, all of my abilities lie in this Divine Ability. If you break through it, then you will have won this round," Huang Jiao said with a smile to Jiang Chen, once the destructive waves around him had dispersed.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen showed no reaction on his face, but inside, he scoffed disdainfully. If he believed Huang Jiao’s nonsense, then he’d be an idiot.

As an ancient Innate Divine Demon, his methods could not possibly be so limited, for he had had far too much time to cultivate other Divine Abilities.

"Really?"

"In that case, I shall break it for the Great Divine Transcendent to see."

Though skeptical, Jiang Chen outwardly seemed to believe him, immediately employing his Divine Ability and launching an attack on Huang Jiao.

The Central Immutable Divine Light was indeed strong, but even Mount Buzhou had crumbled. What more of a Divine Ability derived from it?

Whoosh...

Countless Chaos Runes converged in Jiang Chen’s hands, transforming into a purple Great Axe.

"Is this... the Heaven-Opening Axe?"

The moment the purple Great Axe took shape, Huang Jiao’s face across from Jiang Chen changed instantly. His earlier confidence evaporated, replaced by fear.
