Chapter 21: First Show of Power
The dim light condensed and transformed into a young Taoist priest.

This Taoist had a white face and no beard, and even had a strange paleness to it, which vaguely reflected the turbulence of time and space nearby. Hengming could see countless spatial forces wandering around this Taoist, forming one spatial maze after another around him.

It seemed that the Taoist was only a few thousand miles away from him, but in fact the distance between them was enough to encompass thousands of mountains and rivers, and the boundary was almost invisible. Even the ever-expanding web of fate could hardly capture this Taoist.

Hengming sat upright in Lihen Palace with a half-smile on his face. Transparent silk threads were wrapped around his fingertips, but the two men obviously did not dare to underestimate these tiny silk threads.

This boundless vortex of space and time is composed of these seemingly weak threads.

If it weren't for Taoist Xukong's timely action, I'm afraid that King Dong might have died here.

The blurred life map began to linger nearby, ready to attack at any time. Heng Ming smiled and said, "I wonder why Daoist Fellow Xukong came here? Is it to discuss the Dao with me as well?"

Taoist Xukong's face turned even paler when he heard this. The ruler-shaped magic treasure returned to his hand. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Daoyou Hengming, please forgive others when you can. It was Daoyou Dongwanggong who made the mistake. We are willing to make amends to Daoyou Hengming."

Dong Wanggong's face was extremely ugly, but facing the extremely strange Heng Ming, he had to bow his head.

Dong Wanggong said stiffly: "Daoyou Hengming, I was indeed wrong in this matter. I am willing to offer a lower-grade innate spiritual treasure as an apology to you."

The smile on Hengming's face became more and more mysterious. Even though he was facing two innate gods who were no less divine than himself, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear in his heart.

As the saying goes, one Korea, one food everywhere. He could guess with his toes what great principles these two people were practicing, but it was obvious that these two people could not figure out his background and were afraid of him, so they kept their heads down for the time being.

Hengming even dared to guarantee that if they could find even half a way to deal with him, they would immediately pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

"I think that Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong is not very convinced." Hengming faded the smile on his face, and an inexplicable majesty emanated from him. Until this moment, Hengming looked like a person in charge of destiny.

Heng Ming said sternly, "You want to stop? It's very simple. Dong Wanggong, hand over the sword in your hand, and I will let you go immediately."

Even though the two men had been mentally prepared, they were still shocked by Hengming's huge appetite and gasped.

The Pure Yang Sword is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. It is rare even in the prehistoric world, second only to the three treasures of creation. It is also the companion spiritual treasure of the King of the East, and is closely related to his life.

If you want the Dongwang Palace to hand over the Chunyang Sword, it might be better to kill Dongwang Gong on the spot. This might be possible.

The expression on Dong Wanggong's face instantly turned angry: "Hengming! We are willing to make peace with you, but you humiliate us like this! If we really fight to the death, I'm afraid you may not be able to win us. With Fellow Daoist Xukong here, the time and space vortex you summoned is useless. I advise you to quit while you are ahead!"

Lord Dong spoke too fast, even Taoist Xukong was unable to stop him. Hengming snorted coldly on the spot: "Then let's fight! You people don't know what's good for you. You intended to murder me, and when you failed, you wanted to subdue me. Now you're turning the tables and accusing me of being unreasonable. In this case, I'd like to see how hard your bones are!" Hengming stopped talking nonsense and gave an order. The blurred life map began to spread again, and in the blink of an eye it wrapped up the two men. Taoist Xukong sighed secretly, and in the end he could only go all out and prepare to break out.

At this moment, Dong Wanggong had the help of Void Taoist, so he was not afraid of the attack from the Life Map. The Pure Yang Sword in his hand made a clear sound, and countless yang energies spread out from the void and turned into fire dragons in the sky, which forcibly resisted the attack from the Life Map.

As for the original space-time vortex, without the intervention of Eternal Life, there is no space-time turbulence integrating into it. Instead, it is constantly repaired by the void and is now close to extinction.

Hengming didn't care. This method could only bully Dong Wanggong. As for constructing a time and space vortex under the nose of Xukong Taoist, it was simply using one's own weakness to attack the other's strength. He was not that stupid.

"The power of fate is unmatched, the power of destiny cannot be captured, at this moment, space will not be affected by anyone!"

Hengming let out a grand declaration, and the wheel of destiny behind him exploded instantly, but it did not disappear. Instead, it entered the dark land and merged into the boundless laws of destiny, assisting Hengming in sealing the space.

Click, click.

The nearby void began to solidify like an ice layer, and no one could influence the void anymore. The Taoist Void, who had been calm before, couldn't help but change his expression at this moment. He never expected that Hengming would have such means.

There are many ways to seal space, but there are very few ways that can seal space in front of him and he cannot break it.

Taoist Xukong shouted loudly: "Tianya Ruler, break the seal!"

The ruler-shaped magic treasure in his hand, the Tianya Ruler, instantly drew out mysterious tracks, which represented the mystery of space. Waves of destruction lingered, trying to completely break the seal of Hengming.
But this seal was created by Hengming who temporarily sacrificed himself to manipulate the Wheel of Fate, so how could he break it so easily?

The void that was fixed by the power of destiny was not broken by this wave at all. Instead, Heng Ming found a flaw in Void Taoist's move. While Dong Wanggong was still stunned, Ming Tuqiang, despite the entanglement of countless fire dragons, forcibly crossed the space mazes and directly hit Void Taoist's body.

Taoist Xukong's pale face was dotted with scarlet, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable horror, but he had to shout: "Dong Wanggong! Protect me, I want to calm the magic power in my body and break these space seals at the same time!"

There were flashes of surprise on Dong Wanggong's face. He knew that Hengming had sealed the void, but he didn't expect that Taoist Xukong couldn't break these seals. Instead, he was ambushed by Hengming and almost seriously injured.

But the most urgent task is not to blame each other. As the top innate sacred being, Dong Wanggong naturally knows the priorities. He immediately calmed down and stood in front of Void Taoist with a sword in his hand.

It seemed that there were many flaws, but his divine consciousness had already spread throughout the nearby void. Hengming had a premonition in his heart that no matter which direction he launched an attack, Dong Wanggong would be able to block it instantly, this was certain.

But unfortunately, a smile appeared on Hengming's face. What he liked to break the most were the inevitable things.
