The Heavenly Emperor's authority began to unleash, and the Supreme Intention instantly spread throughout Xiao Mu's body.

Under Xiao Mu's deliberate control, this Supreme Intention immediately concentrated towards his left hand.

At the location of the left hand palm, the Supreme Intention suddenly encountered resistance, marking the first time the Emperor's Might had met an energy it could not fully suppress.

This phenomenon startled Xiao Mu, who quickly focused his attention.

His Divine Sense flowed along his arm to his left hand, where the mutated plants embedded in the palm of his left hand finally revealed their form in his vision once again.

At that moment, Xiao Mu saw the roots of the mutated plants passing through his left hand, embedding themselves deep within the flesh of his palm.

Wrapped around the roots of the mutated plants was a purple-grey gas. This presence of the purple-grey gas not only obscured his perception but also his vision.

What was this gas?

The appearance of the purple-grey gas chilled Xiao Mu to the bone, the gas was terrifyingly majestic, seemingly concealing a frightening force behind it.

"What in the world is this?"

Xiao Mu tried covering it with the Supreme Intention, attempting to ascertain the source of the purple-grey gas.

Suddenly...

Boom!

Just as the Supreme Intention landed on the purple-grey gas, without even making real contact with it, the purple-grey gas violently shuddered, generating a violent reaction.

Along with the trembling of the purple gas, it felt as if the end of the world had come to the palm of Xiao Mu's left hand, with everything collapsing including flesh, matter, space, and time.

The sensation of everything collapsing was unbearably uncomfortable for Xiao Mu, who felt, in that instant, as if his left hand no longer belonged to him.

Xiao Mu struggled to calm his mind, pushing his Emperor Authority to its limits, trying to counter that sense of total collapse.

Amidst desperation, his consciousness slightly cleared, and he then saw, at the center of the collapse in his left hand, the purple-grey gas becoming even clearer.

Suddenly, a scenario that terrified and chilled Xiao Mu occurred; within the purple-grey gas, amidst the rise and fall of all things, a Mini World slowly emerged, becoming clearer quickly, showing the sun and the moon, Earth's mountains and rivers, rivers and oceans, and all living things...

This... what was this?

Xiao Mu was profoundly shaken.

And in the very center of this Mini World, a male figure's back gradually became clear, and then turning around, Xiao Mu saw two purple-grey eyes breaking through all barriers, traversing endless timespaces, and then directly sweeping towards him.

The man's face finally appeared before Xiao Mu; it was a handsome young man, seemingly no older than seventeen or eighteen, with black hair draped over his shoulders.

However, the man radiated boundless power, accompanied by the force of Creation and Hongmeng that initiated the creation of all things.

Around this man's body were clusters of purple clouds, similar yet purer, stronger, and denser than the purple-grey gas wrapped around the roots of the mutated plants.

"Heavenly Emperor!"

The man slowly spoke, his voice majestic and boundless, transforming into substance and covering Xiao Mu across infinite spaces, bearing endless power.

Crack!

Xiao Mu, without any hesitation, immediately severed his own left hand.

The illusion vanished, the boundless oppressive force disappeared as well, and the young man also vanished from Xiao Mu's sight.

Thump, Xiao Mu's arm fell to the ground, and along with the mutated plants, it disintegrated and melted, ultimately transforming into a purple-grey gas.

"Brother Xiao, what happened? What just occurred?"

Zhao Qian looked towards Xiao Mu with bewildered eyes, encountering such a scene for the first time since cultivating the mutated plants.

He couldn't comprehend why Xiao Mu suddenly severed his left arm, nor why the mutated plants and Xiao Mu's arm disintegrated and melted together right after he did so.

"Brother Zhao, where did you get this purple-grey gas around the roots of your mutated plants?"

Xiao Mu, barely recovering from his profound shock, hastily asked Zhao Qian.

"Hongmeng Daozun, Xiao, what you saw is Hongmeng Daozun."

And before Zhao Qian could reply, the voice of Wu De, the Divine Monarch, transmitted into Xiao Mu's ears through the Divine Sense from the Black Jade Plate.

"Hongmeng Daozun, Elder Wu De, do you know the person behind that purple-grey gas?"

The words of Wu De left Xiao Mu astonished.

Hongmeng Daozun, just from the name, he knew it was a terrifyingly formidable entity.

"The purple-grey gas is Hongmeng Purple Qi, the person you saw is the Hongmeng Daozun, the master of the Hongmeng Power."

The voice of Wu De conveyed uncontrollable excitement, clearly the sudden appearance of Hongmeng Daozun was shocking even to a True God.

As Xiao Mu was unclear about the real identity of Hongmeng Daozun, Wu De continued explaining, "At the beginning of Heaven and Earth, several supreme forces were created, Creation, Primal Beginning, Hongmeng, Chaos, and behind each force, there was a master."

"And these supreme forces are even more potent than Fate, Reincarnation, Life and Death, Retribution, thus behind each supreme force stands an Ancient Heavenly God."

"There are four Ancient Heavenly Gods that I know of, they are Creation Heavenly King, Primordial Emperor, Hongmeng Daozun, Chaos Heavenly Monarch."
