Xiao Fei actually snatched the Enlightenment Fruits in front of the Creation Elder, naturally enraging him.
These Enlightenment Fruits were the result of his hard work over the years.
How much toil and how many beatings he had endured for these Enlightenment Fruits; the suffering was beyond words to outsiders.
He had been pursued relentlessly all these years, nearly dying several times, all for these Enlightenment Fruits.
Every Enlightenment Fruit on the Great Dao Tree was his most cherished possession; no one was allowed to touch them.
As he roared in anger, two more Enlightenment Fruits fell from the tree, caught by Xiao Fei with his immortal power and flying towards his mouth.
Outrageous!
Outrageous!
The Creation Elder had already made his move. The two Enlightenment Fruits were frozen in mid-air, and simultaneously, a powerful force enveloped the entire Great Dao Tree, preventing anyone from harming even a single hair of it.
Still not satisfied, his gaze fell upon Xiao Fei's abdomen.
"Even if you eat them, so what? I'll still dig them out."
The Creation Elder was not one to shy away from unpleasantness.
For treasures like Enlightenment Fruits, most people would retrieve them even if they fell into a cesspool.
When the Creation Elder struck again, Xiao Fei, with the mobility he had just gained by burning his primordial spirit, was once again restrained by the Creation Elder.
Now he could not move again, frozen like a wooden carving.
Worse still, his right hand was still deeply inserted into his throat, not yet withdrawn.
He remained in this grotesque posture.
The Creation Elder chuckled coldly, extended a fingernail, and with a light scratch, sliced open Xiao Fei's abdomen.
Under the pressure, his intestines and stomach bulged out from the wound.
The Creation Elder intended to extract Xiao Fei's entire digestive system and then meticulously clean it, not leaving a single speck of excrement.
Just as the Creation Elder held Xiao Fei's stomach with one hand, preparing to rip it out,
The sesame-seed-sized point of light within Xiao Fei, perhaps having rested enough, or perhaps having absorbed a bit more Great Dao aura,
At this critical juncture, it once again emitted a faint, hazy glow.
Wherever the light spread, the restraint imposed by the Creation Elder on Xiao Fei vanished like snow melting in the spring sun.
Seizing this moment of mobility, Xiao Fei quickly withdrew his hand from his throat, clutching his intestines with both hands and fleeing backward.
The instant the point of light within Xiao Fei illuminated, the Creation Elder felt all his restraints on Xiao Fei fail, and even the Creation Jade Disk slipped from his control.
"Damn it! It's the Great Dao Origin again!"
The Creation Elder both loved and hated the Great Dao Origin, yet at the same time, he was filled with anticipation for it.
He must obtain the Great Dao Origin within Xiao Fei.
But each time he was on the verge of capturing Xiao Fei, this Great Dao Origin disrupted his efforts, making him grit his teeth in hatred.
At this moment, Xiao Fei had escaped, clutching his intestines, but his remaining eight clones appeared before the Creation Elder, surrounding him.
Each of the eight clones contained a sesame-seed-sized point of light, emitting a faint glow that enveloped the Creation Elder.
Blocked by the eight clones, the Creation Elder could not immediately catch up to Xiao Fei, who was fleeing with his belly exposed.
He then thought of plucking all the Enlightenment Fruits from the Great Dao Tree to prevent Xiao Fei from causing further harm later.
However, despite his good intentions, he was now shrouded by Xiao Fei's faint light, and all his divine abilities were rendered useless.
Whether he could pluck the Enlightenment Fruits was uncertain; he himself was already restrained by Xiao Fei's Great Dao Origin, and his life might be in danger here.
The Creation Elder was filled with hatred!
The Creation Jade Disk was his, its spirit was his, and the Great Dao Tree and Enlightenment Fruits within the disk's world...
Everything here was his!
Yet now, his own labor was being plundered by a mere artifact spirit, filling him with grief and anger!
Unfortunately, now that he had fallen into Xiao Fei's hands, all his divine abilities were suppressed by the Great Dao Origin, rendering him powerless. What else could he do?
Before he could devise any effective countermeasures, Xiao Fei's eight clones did not want to miss this golden opportunity.
The eight clones, each wielding their own divine abilities, launched their attacks on the Creation Elder.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The series of divine abilities unleashed by Xiao Fei's eight clones were all immensely powerful, capable of destroying heavens and earth.
However, these powerful attacks, when they landed on the Creation Elder, were like a drizzle, not even breaking the fabric of his robes or harming a single strand of his hair.
Xiao Fei was stunned. What was going on?
Even if the Creation Elder was a realm higher than him, he shouldn't be this outrageously powerful.
There was something fishy going on!
This old fellow must have cheated!
"Cheating even in a fight, how shameless!"
One clone raised a blood-red gourd, intending to absorb the Creation Elder.
However, after trying for a long time, he discovered that the red gourd, which had always worked flawlessly, could not capture this person.
For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate, neither able to overcome the other.
The Creation Elder's divine abilities were suppressed by the Great Dao Origin, rendering him unable to use them.
But Xiao Fei, having exhausted all his tricks and techniques against the Creation Elder, could not even harm a single hair on him.
Even the red gourd, which had always been invincible and never failed, was now ineffective.
"Hahaha... All the Great Daos you control within the Jade Disk world are merely pseudo-Daos evolved by this old man using the Creation Jade Disk.
How could you possibly harm a single hair of this old man by using these Daos!"
The Creation Elder appeared smug, his words rambling, but in his heart, he was contemplating countermeasures and seeking a way to escape.
He did not want this situation to continue.
If Xiao Fei were to successfully refine those Enlightenment Fruits later and unleash other divine abilities upon him, his life might be in danger.
He had no idea that the Great Dao Origin within Xiao Fei could devour the Great Dao aura generated by the Enlightenment Fruits.
As long as he survived, there would be opportunities.
He could find a chance to trouble Xiao Fei again in the future and reclaim the Creation Jade Disk and everything else.
Just as the Creation Elder intended to stall Xiao Fei with words to find an opportunity to escape,
Xiao Fei was also worried. If this stalemate continued, the sesame-seed-sized point of light within him would soon be unable to hold on.
Since he couldn't kill him, he had to find a way to make the Creation Elder flee, without revealing his true capabilities.
"Hmph! Do you really think I can't kill you! Do you really think the Great Dao Origin can't deal with you?"
Xiao Fei had heard the Creation Elder mention the name "Great Dao Origin" several times, so he decided to use this opportunity to probe the Creation Elder.
"Although the Great Dao Origin is the nemesis of all Great Daos, you have only just mastered it and cannot deal with this old man yet."
