For the Jade of Creation and the Great Dao Tree, this group of Great Luo Golden Immortal powerhouses had been fighting for so many years. Even those forged of iron would grow tired and soft over time.
By now, the divine abilities they unleashed had become increasingly weak and ineffective, clearly showing they were at the end of their strength.
Xiao Fei's nine clones had remained motionless outside the battlefield since being sealed by these powerhouses with Dao techniques.
During this time, some stray battle aftermath had inadvertently struck him, causing him some damage.
One clone was even severely injured by the residual forces of battle.
Despite this, the seals on Xiao Fei rendered him immobile, forcing him to watch helplessly as the aftermath of various divine abilities struck him.
Lately, everyone had grown weary, and the residual forces falling on Xiao Fei had significantly weakened.
At this very moment, unnoticed by anyone, a faint glow emanated from Xiao Fei.
Under the illumination of this light, the seals imposed on him by the crowd melted away like ice and snow.
With the seals gone, Xiao Fei moved his somewhat stiff body slightly.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the Jade of Creation fell into his grasp.
Dozens of powerhouses, who were still engaged in combat, only then realized that the Jade of Creation had been taken.
However, Xiao Fei had seized the opportunity amidst the chaos to take the Jade of Creation and was about to escape again. Everyone scrambled to stop him, but it was a little too late.
As Xiao Fei was about to escape with the Jade of Creation, a large net suddenly flew from afar, blocking his path.
While others were busy fighting and hadn't noticed Xiao Fei, the seemingly half-dead Old Man of Creation in the distance had focused all his attention on him.
Just as Xiao Fei was about to succeed and flee, he timely threw a treasure, obstructing Xiao Fei's path.
The light on Xiao Fei condensed into a long saber, which sliced through the large net, cutting it apart.
But in the brief moment of delay, the other powerhouses had already surrounded him, completely encircling Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei looked at the faces before him, counting them to be about sixty to seventy people.
Although these individuals were exhausted after years of battle, he, relying on his own strength, even with the Great Dao Origin in hand, was not confident of defeating so many.
"As expected, you have some hidden means!"
"You almost escaped!"
"In my opinion, we should seal him again and just investigate to prevent any further mishaps."
This time, the crowd, who had been fighting incessantly, remained in agreement, deciding to seal Xiao Fei and then investigate his background.
Otherwise, keeping this artifact spirit around was too dangerous.
Everyone attacked simultaneously, unleashing their most skilled sealing divine abilities, and once again sealed all nine of Xiao Fei's clones.
"Alright! We can interrogate him now..."
With the task accomplished, a cultivator clapped his hands, preparing to interrogate.
At that moment, a radiance surged from Xiao Fei. After the light flashed, all the seals imposed on him vanished.
"Huh!"
"What is the principle behind this?"
A group of experts stared at Xiao Fei in astonishment, their immortal senses repeatedly scanning him, trying to discern the reason.
At this moment, Xiao Fei transformed into a small light being, emanating a dazzling radiance that enveloped the entire battlefield for tens of miles.
Everyone illuminated by the light found their inner Great Dao instantly and completely suppressed.
"My Great Dao is suppressed."
"What divine ability is this?"
"This... could this be the legendary Great Dao Origin!"
In that instant, the sixty to seventy Great Luo Golden Immortal powerhouses present were all utterly suppressed by Xiao Fei's Great Dao Origin.
However, they felt no dejection; instead, they were subtly, uncontrollably excited.
This was the legendary Great Dao Origin!
Even though their Great Dao was suppressed and they were in peril, they could not suppress the greed in their hearts for the Great Dao Origin.
With Xiao Fei suppressing everyone using the Great Dao Origin, he himself was unable to unleash any further divine abilities, and the situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.
Seeing this, the half-dead Old Man of Creation in the distance thought he saw an opportunity and was about to fly over.
However, Ji Wudi, Fei Yu, Huangfu Xuan, and others flew out from the Jade of Creation World.
Xiao Fei himself could not move, but his subordinates had already broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
The moment Ji Wudi and the others appeared, they unleashed their signature divine abilities, slashing at the powerhouses present.
This terrified the Old Man of Creation, who immediately lay back down and feigned death without a sound.
Not to be trifled with!
This artifact spirit was becoming increasingly troublesome, and it also intensified his desire for the Great Dao Tree and the Great Dao Origin.
He had to seize them as soon as possible!
With a large group of powerhouses whose Great Dao was suppressed, they were like lambs to the slaughter before the ferocious Ji Wudi and his companions.
Stripped of the Great Dao's enhancement, their strength and speed were at most comparable to that of an Immortal Monarch.
Now, they were being cut down like vegetables, with no ability to resist.
Even though Great Luo Golden Immortals were difficult to kill, over twenty powerhouses had been slain in this short period.
However, as the remaining individuals fled further and further away, the light projected by Xiao Fei's Great Dao Origin expanded its coverage.
Although this method of killing was exhilarating, he was nearing his limit.
Fighting against sixty to seventy Great Luo Golden Immortals alone was still somewhat taxing for him.
"We retreat!"
With Xiao Fei's command, everyone gathered the corpses of those slain on the ground, quickly flew back into the Jade of Creation World, and vanished without a trace.
Left behind were a large group of powerhouses still suppressed by the Great Dao Origin, and Xiao Fei and Fei Yu.
Xiao Fei reached out and collected the Jade of Creation, then mounted Fei Yu's back.
With a whoosh, Fei Yu, carrying Xiao Fei, disappeared from everyone's sight. In the next instant, they had fled so far that not even a shadow remained.
After breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Fei Yu's speed had increased once more.
With his current speed, no Great Luo Golden Immortal could catch up to him anymore.
After Xiao Fei and Fei Yu escaped the battlefield, the Great Dao Origin light gradually dissipated, leaving behind only over forty Great Luo experts.
The sudden turn of events left their minds still somewhat muddled.
They had just been ecstatic upon seeing the Great Dao Origin, only to be pursued by a group of people and narrowly escape death.
The changes had come too quickly!
Although many of their companions had died, they themselves had survived and still had a chance to pursue the Great Dao Origin.
Compared to the Great Dao Origin, the Great Dao Tree they had been seeking earlier was now insignificant.
"Chase! Before he gets too far, we must capture him!"
"Since he's running, he must be exhausted. This is a rare opportunity!"
The remaining forty-odd Great Luo powerhouses were about to pursue the direction Xiao Fei had fled.
At that moment, an untimely cold voice rang out.
"Today, none of you will escape!"
