"You know I always had a theory that one could use a Dao and refine it into a weapon, but never got the chance to try." Fang Yuan smirked.
Primordial brushed off the remark, "That's what Sha Xiao was going to use you for, his pain is due to the overinflux of chaotic energy slowly entropying everything that makes him, him, and at the same time it is also endlessly regenerating him, the body of Reckless is a good container, not a very good user of energy."
"But you," Primordial chucked sadistically, "You're perfect for the job, the power of the elements is only held back by the amount of energy it can output, you're the perfect tool for an endless battery like Sha Xiao."
Primordial waved his hand and swords made of Qi manifested themselves, rushing forward to pin Fang Yuan.
"Uhuh," Fang Yuan dodged the numerous attacks, destroying most that came his way, "And you couldn't let that happen or else your existence would have been threatening correct?"
Fang Yuan leapt into the air, bouncing off the endless fury of swords raining down on him, he had just seized control of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Metal, and was working on Light and Darkness.
"It is amazing how fast you work, but it's futile, I concede that I cannot win you in those Paths, but what about the rest?" Primordial smirked, his fingers snapped and now a sword made from every Path that Fang Yuan did not control, slowly manifested into a reality.
"NO YOU DON'T PRIMORDIAL!" the horrid scream of a man in deep agony, made its way to both Fang Yuan and Primordial's ears.
"Shit, he got here quick!" they both remarked.
What they did not expect however was that feeling the relief that comes after a lifetime of pain, would be a double-edged sword, for all the resistance Sha Xiao had built up over the years, crumbled before the relief.
This nearly drove him to the point of breaking, if he wasn't already broken, and his body reflected that.
A mangled mess, of transformation loomed towards Primordial's domain.
Sha Xiao could no longer maintain a humanoid form, for compressing that much power in such a small body was too much agony for his now depraved mind to bear.
He was a mix of every Transformation Reckless had in his disposable, hundreds of thousands of Immemorial Desolate Beast body parts and heads protruded from every angle one could see.
The form was as grotesque as it was hideous, but there was a benefit.
"In this form, I can output every Path at once," Sha Xiao's voice was a cacophony, a mixture of pain and horror that spewed forth from every head in the abomination.
"Witness MY might!" he roared, unleashing attacks from Time, Space, Sword, Wisdom, Star, Earth, Sand, he had a head for every Path!
!!!
The attacks were indiscriminate, with no pattern, no thought, but it was immensely powerful, each attack was the same as at least a Rank 9 Killer Move, and some were on par with Dao Killer Moves!
"Dammit!" Primordial shifted his focus onto Sha Xiao, he couldn't let him claim Fang Yuan or it would be the end of him, but he also couldn't let Fang Yuan have more time to grow, so he split his attention.
Primordial held out two fingers and directed half of his attack toward countering Sha Xiao, and the other half toward Fang Yuan.
Unlike Sha Xiao who had no control over his attack, Primordial struck with surgical precision, the Dao of Origin was the beginning of all things, everything started from Origin, and so every technique, skill, and understanding was built of his Origin, making him compatible with all things.
And so he learned all things.
"You've spent the past Million Years coping with pain whereas I spent it learning every secret, every technique and skill, there is nothing that has been done that I haven't seen before!"
What seemed like randomness to others, was clear in the eyes of Primordial, though no thought, rhyme or reason had been put into the attack, Primordial could see through it, see the natural order of things taking charge.
And he abused it.
His Killer Move weaved through the mess of attack, each Path perfectly finding and countering a Path it was strong against.
"Sha Xiao!" From across the battlefield, Fang Yuan shouted,
!!?
"Use Elemental moves, he has no counter for that."
!!!
Primordial's face turned frustrated whereas Sha Xiao's many faces grinned savagely,
"Kekeke," his body began morphing, from thousands of heads to only a couple hundred, but all of them were Immeroail Desolate Beasts of the various Elemental Paths.
"You son of a" hundred streams of Elemental breaths rained down in all directions, which would normally have hampered their effectiveness, but since the entire region was Primrodial's domain, everything that got damaged affected him.
Primordial was incensed, because Fang Yuan was indeed right, the only thing that perfectly countered an Elemental attack was the opposing Element!
And Fang Yuan had wrestled control over the Elements in his Domain!
This forced Primordial to dedicate more attention to Sha Xiao.
"See, I figured out your little schtick," Fang Yuan flew to Primodial's altitude, "Your Domain compliments your Dao very well, even a Dao Emperor cannot cultivate Paths freely without running into the issue of conflicting Dao Marks, but what if you just keep everything in it's purest form, energy? Then transmute them as needed, and since you have knowledge on all Paths you are an expert at it."
Fang Yuan smirked, "But no matter how smart you are, you can't compete with my absolute authority over the Elements, that's why I can wrestle control over your Domain's Elements!"
"I alone am the Elements!" Fang Yuan spread his hands out in a curve, drawing a dharmic wheel with all the Elements gathering towards him, including Sha Xiao's attack, and aiming them at Primordial!
Both Sha Xiao and Primordial were taken aback,
"This kid is bold it's too bad he has to die for me to live!" Sha Xiao thought to himself as he continued hurling streams of Elemental attacks in all directions, with the ones not heading toward Primordial being redirected to Fang Yuan.
"So then, what will you do?" Fang Yuan smirked.
The overwhelming force of two Dao Emperors was too much for even the home field advantage of a Domain, Primordial's attacks were slowly being repelled by overwhelming might!
"*sigh*" A deep sigh rang out from Primodial's mouth, "You're something you know, Fang Yuan, I truly admire your creativity and talent, you account for every possible flaw in your plan even if it is so minute."
Primordial concentrated on a few attacks that were attempting to mimic the Elemental Path effects to counter them, but while it worked on Sha Xiao, freeing up some resources, whenever they approached Fang Yuan's attacks it would just swap to a different element rendering Primrodial's attack useless.
With the two-pronged attack, Primordial could not afford to let Sha Xiao have free reign, but Fang Yuan was advancing closer and closer towards him.
"You've truly forced my hand," Primordial gripped his hand tight, until blood dripped down, "Heavenly Dao you win! I agree to your terms!"
"*clap* *clap* *clap*"
"I knew you'd come around."
