Chapter 5652: This is Called Knowing What's What
The old man scrambled to his feet, pointing at a figure that had appeared in mid-air. He fumed, "Qin Nitian, you little bastard, you dare to hit the Heavenly Dao. You're truly despicable! Ow!"
A dazzling whip of light was about to strike the old man's chest.
The old man, agile as ever, did a backward somersault, his body scraping the ground as he rolled away to evade it.
Though he looked a bit pathetic, the whip didn't land on him.
The Heavenly Dao, both furious and triumphant, scrambled up from the ground and huffed, "You little bastard, you think you can hit me?"
"Whack!" A whip of light heavily struck the old man's backside.
The old man's face turned green. He shot up, yelling, "You, you, you! You scoundrel, you actually dared to hit me!"
Everyone watched, bewildered, instinctively huddling together and clearing a wide space in front.
By now, they had all emerged from the second barrier.
Before them was a vast, open area like a training ground, no longer ravaged by yellow sand.
Everyone saw it clearly.
The woman in fiery red in mid-air held a gleaming white whip and struck with extreme force.
One whip sent the Heavenly Dao leaping high, flailing his limbs and yelping, "Qin Nitian, you little bastard, you're really going against the heavens!"
Nitian smiled faintly. "You're not finding out for the first time. I'm used to defying the heavens."
"Bah!" The Heavenly Dao clutched his old waist, dodging and grumbling with indignation. "I'm telling you, stop at once. When I, this old man, truly make my move, it won't be something you can... Oh, my goodness!"
The Heavenly Dao was slammed down by a giant hand made of light elements.
His head hit the ground. He squirmed, prostrate, and let out two "Ow, ow" cries with his weak, scrawny arms.
Everyone: ...
My heavens, this completely overturned everyone's perceptions!
Who was the Heavenly Dao?
He was an unshakeable presence throughout the entire Saint Domain.
But seeing the Heavenly Dao lying on the ground getting beaten up right now felt truly beyond their imagination.
The visual impact was extraordinary!
"Qin Nitian, stop hitting! Stop hitting!"
"I'm telling you, you really need to change your little fiery temper! Ha."
"Only I, this old man, can tolerate you. Oh, oh, oh!"
"Don't hit, don't hit, don't hit! Right, right, your man can also tolerate you, my goodness, Qin Nitian, you really hit this old man's head!"
"Alright, alright, I, I, I agree, okay? Stop, stop!"
Nitian stopped, hovering in mid-air and looking down at him.
At this moment, a female cultivator couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, oh my, this esteemed person, w-why can they ascend?"
Yes, in this place, due to the law of gravity, one simply couldn't fly.
That's why they had to rely on yellow vine ropes for climbing when going up and down the mountain earlier.
"Is Qin Nitian the same as you all?" The Heavenly Dao retorted crossly.
"Ow." He clutched his head, got up from the ground, and grumbled, "Alright, alright, no more hitting. I'll, I'll just lower the difficulty for them, let them train in normal mode."
Upon hearing this, everyone was on the verge of tears.
So, their previous guess was completely correct?
This old geezer, the Heavenly Dao, had indeed tricked them and raised the difficulty of the Divine Palace's trial?
