What Jiandan said was the plain truth, but to the fellow sage, it was nothing short of a slap to the face. Feeling as though his face was already swollen from the blow, the man gritted his teeth and resolved to make one last desperate struggle, flashing directly into the Primordial River under his control. His objective was clear: he intended to merge his own power with the Primordial River, and then use that river to swallow the one controlled by Jiandan. If he succeeded, he would become the new Lord of the Primordial Realm.
Should he fail, he would take his Primordial River and force it to flow backward, thereby throwing Jiandan's Primordial River into chaos.
Jiandan saw right through the man's desperate gamble. Naturally, since he had come looking for a fight, he had prepared contingencies for both outcomes—win or perish. Though the conflicts between sages appeared on the surface to be mere duels between two individuals, they ultimately concerned the three thousand worlds and countless living beings.
