This universe is vast.

Of course, as the scene before Xu Zimei evolved, he found that the power of the Heavenly Demon was depleting rapidly.

It was disappearing at a terrifying speed.

Xu Zimei couldn’t afford to waste time, and he quickly comprehended the boundless space.

What he was aiming to transcend were the Nine Domains.

At this moment, the Primordial Spirit, which had been growing slowly, suddenly began to grow rapidly again.

This Demon Stone really was excellent.

Not only did it help Xu Zimei refine his Primordial Spirit, but it also reflected the world beyond the heavens, helping him increase his insight.

This situation continued.

Who knows how long had passed.

Xu Zimei only felt his Primordial Spirit was growing endlessly and becoming increasingly powerful.

His Silent Annihilation Taoist Fruit now radiated different colors.

The Principle of Annihilation began to transform, becoming the Annihilation Rule.

This represented the ultimate attack of the Taoist Fruit.

It was a Taoist Fruit that gathered thousands of attacks into one.

His Primordial Spirit now seemed like a giant, with its head reaching the Firmament and its feet treading the Jiuyou Purgatory.

The Primordial Spirit’s height was unknown.

Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his body was filled with a thick force; the Taoist Fruit and the Primordial Spirit were united, and the Rule Power was surging.

"So this is the Taoist Fruit Realm,” he murmured to himself.

"No, this isn’t the complete form yet.”

He focused his gaze.

The Primordial Spirit retracted back into his body, and the Taoist Fruit also retracted back.

The Principle within his body transformed into the Rule.

And the Rule converged into a vast ocean, starting its surge toward the eleventh Vein Gate.

This belonged to the Vein Gate of the Taoist Fruit Realm.

Only this would make one a true Dao Fruit Powerhouse.

This Vein Gate was solid enough.

Xu Zimei charged at it countless times, only to be forcefully blocked.

However, Xu Zimei’s Annihilation Rule was also incredibly powerful.

He had already created cracks in the Vein Gate.

"Today, no one can stop me from entering the Taoism Entry Fruit,” he shouted angrily.

Finally, a powerful force overwhelmed, and with a loud “boom.”

It seemed like an eruption was impending within him.

All his internal organs were shattered.

There was even a ringing in his ears.

Finally, the eleventh Vein Gate broke open.

His body was revitalized, with the Rules connecting the eleven Vein Gates, circulating within.

The injuries he sustained started healing at a speed visible to the flesh eye.

The power of the Taoist Fruit was indescribable.

With just a gesture, it wielded the might of the heavens and earth.

Human power could now be used to wield the Rule, already granting the simple ability to confront the heavens.

Of course, Xu Zimei’s Rules were still weak now.

He had not opened the Three Flowers nor split the Three Corpses.

Xu Zimei slowly opened his eyes as Bai Meng’s people came forward to congratulate him.

Xu Zimei smiled, chatted with them for a while, and then left.

When Xu Zimei returned to Jade Maiden Palace.

The world seemed to sense something, and suddenly, a Heaven Phenomenon occurred.

He knew this was the test from the heavens.

Every cultivator chooses after entering the Taoist Fruit Realm.

To submit to the heavens and possess the Heavenly Dao Fruit.

Or to choose another Taoist Fruit and be destined to fight the heavens.

Previously, when Xu Zimei advanced on the Divine Continent.

The heavens there naturally didn’t object.

After all, he was the god there, having created even the heavens, so naturally, he had no fear.

But upon returning to the Great Wilderness.

The choice from the heavens ultimately arrived.

Xu Zimei’s gaze sharpened.

He hadn’t expected his first encounter with the Heavenly Dao to come in this way.

At this moment, his Primordial Spirit and Taoist Fruit emerged from his body, stepping into the air toward the firmament.

The Primordial Spirit kept rising.

Finally, when nearing the Heavenly Dao, it suddenly stopped.

The entire firmament was filled with thunder and lightning at this moment.

But that wasn’t all.

In the endless thunder, an eye appeared.

It was like the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

This eye gazed over everything.

As if the entire world was illuminated within it.

In an instant, the world was confined.

This eye was too powerful.

Just a glance carried an unchallengeable majesty.

It seemed to be the origin of everything.

Looking at it, one’s heart would involuntarily surrender.

But Xu Zimei kept a calm gaze.

He stared at that eye with his Primordial Spirit.

The two seemed to be in a mutual standoff.

This made Xu Zimei curious, as if the opposing side recognized him.

Could it be related to the previous Demon Lord?

After a moment of silence, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment seemed to become enraged.

It started amassing endless thunder.

Chaos Cataclysmic Thunder.

Gray thunder gathered in the void.

It seemed capable of destroying gods and demons, devastating everything.

At this moment, this thunder was so powerful.

Xu Zimei was a bit dumbfounded.

Logically, the heavens should give him a chance to choose.

To submit to the heavens or to condense another Taoist Fruit.

But at this moment, the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, just looking at him, didn’t even grant a choice, instead intending to annihilate him.

"How much do they hate me,” Xu Zimei chuckled bitterly.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dao was completely relentless.

Thunders kept crashing down, intending to obliterate Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei knew it was not the time to confront the Heavenly Dao head-on.

He was still at the Taoist Fruit stage.

He hadn’t reached the level of the True Martial Ancestor.

The Heaven Challenge was far beyond his reach.

"But even if I die, I’ll tear a piece off you,” Xu Zimei’s gaze was fierce.

He furrowed his brows.

With a roar, he unleashed Extermination of Ten Thousand Immortals and Jiuyou Fall simultaneously.

Then, the Ten Ancient Divine Methods followed one after another.

With the aid of the Shaking Heaven Power, Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Divine Demon Visualization Chart.

Xu Zimei’s Primordial Spirit grew much larger again.

Every punch and kick shattered space, destroyed time.

Clashing with the Chaos Cataclysmic Thunder.

Xu Zimei seemed to be at a disadvantage.

The thunder was strong; he could feel pain all over his body.

"Let’s die together,” Xu Zimei shouted.

He soared up along the thunder.

Charging straight at the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

This Eye of Heavenly Punishment was the source of all thunder.

The violence and strength of its thunder far surpassed any thunder outside.

"Boom,” Xu Zimei’s half body exploded.

But he still soared upward, his large hand forcefully landed on the Eye of Heavenly Punishment.

This Eye of Heavenly Punishment seemed insulted.

It had been touched by a human.

Originally, this Eye of Heavenly Punishment carried no emotion, always appearing indifferent.

As if all living beings were mere ants.

But now, this Eye of Heavenly Punishment clearly showed emotion, becoming extremely furious and tempestuous.

Thunder raged, wanting to strike Xu Zimei dead in displeasure.

Xu Zimei grinned.

"One day, I’ll tear more than just this eye away.”

He roared, forcibly tearing the Eye of Heavenly Punishment from the heavens.

However, Xu Zimei himself was riddled with holes from the Heavenly Punishment, undoubtedly on the brink of death.

The Chaos Cataclysmic Thunder struck him.

His body couldn’t recover.

This was the terrifying realm of the Heavenly Dao.

A Dao Fruit Powerhouse’s might was such that even a drop of blood could regenerate.

Any injury could instantly be repaired.

But the Heavenly Dao’s force prevented the recovery of wounds, ensuring certain death.
