Chapter 294 The Might of Buzhoushan

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Emperor of the North Sea, Yu Qiang, knelt on one knee in the void. The immense pressure, even if it couldn't shatter his conceptual defense, still exceeded its limits with boundless power, forcing him to his knees.

It was the terror of an entire world crashing down upon him.

But Yu Qiang simultaneously recognized a key issue:

His defenses hadn't been breached.

He could still fight.

He could still fight!

The next moment, Yu Qiang swept his gaze around, noticing the gods on the surging sea, who, amidst their shock, seemed to harbor other intentions. The surge of unwillingness and indignation within him, the eruption of self-dignity, even surpassed his desire for the pinnacle of the Ten Greats.

"Very well, Mount Buzhou!"

"Very well indeed!"

Yu Qiang's aura intensified violently. His boundless presence resisted the crashing force of the Heavenly Dao, stubbornly expanding outward. This signified a further ascent in his realm, his conceptual invalidation resisting the power of the collapsed celestial pillar.

The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, were shaken.

This fellow…

They exchanged a glance, realizing the dire situation. The current Mount Buzhou God appeared formidable, but it was merely a facade. The true Mount Buzhou was still unknown, and if Wei Yuan lacked the strength to follow through, he might be killed.

The Emperor of the North Sea roared, "Xuanwu!"

The surging waves seemed poised to engulf the heavens.

Enraged, he intended to directly fuse with his external avatar, completely merging the Black Emperor, who controlled slaughter and the Heavenly Dao of the North Sea, with Xuanwu, one of the Four Spirits, who governed the north. But despite the roaring waves, he received no immediate response from Xuanwu.

'Xuanwu?!'

Only after several breaths did Xuanwu's emotionless reply come from the avatar's consciousness.

'Wait…'

'Encountered, enemy.'

"Enemy?!"

Xuan Ming was astonished.

At that moment, beneath the surging waves of the North Sea, the massive divine beast carrying the entire sea on its back, or rather, Xuanwu, standing at the pinnacle of the concept of divine beasts, coldly surveyed the youth before it with golden eyes—because the recent [Mount Buzhou God] had re-enacted the scene of [The collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, causing the southeast to sink].

The earth脉 (dì mài, earth vein) of the entire North Sea trembled and shifted.

The incomparably extravagant North Emperor's palace collapsed towards the northwest.

This caused boundless torrents of water to surge, shattering the formations in the core of the earth脈, signifying the emergence of a fissure. A white line of water directly pierced through this fissure.

Splash!

The North Sea's water shattered.

A young man in black robes tore through the sea, swept in by the waves.

"Is it time to eat?!"

The North Emperor's Xuanwu avatar instinctively lowered its head, its golden pupils focusing on the youth before it. As one of the Four Spirits, it instantly recognized the other's identity—one of the Four Fiends, or rather, a former one: Taotie.

The demon beast clinging tightly to his shoulder was dazed by the immense force of the seawater.

Then, it saw the enormous and terrifying Xuanwu divine beast.

Its mouth trembled in fear: "L-Leader, Xuanwu, it's Xuanwu!"

"It…"

"We can't beat Him, run, Leader!"

The fiend's voice was distorted with terror.

Taotie interlaced his fingers, creating a sound like the鳴嘯 (míng xiào, whistle) of swords, leaned forward slightly, narrowed his pupils, grinned, revealing his fangs, and roared with laughter: "Run? Why run? It's time to eat!!!"

"Old Turtle soup, simmered with wolfberries and ginseng."

"Eat it with chives, it's very nourishing, very nourishing, hahaha!"

The fiend shrieked: "Where did you hear that from?!"

The handsome Taotie answered seriously:

"《滋陰補陽，男性寶典》(Zī yīn bǔ yáng, nánxìng bǎodiǎn, Nourishing Yin and Tonifying Yang, A Male's Guide)!"

The fiend blurted out, "F*ck..."

At that moment, Taotie leaned forward, his eyes wide, transforming into a violent speed, directly tearing towards the Northern Xuanwu spirit. Xuanwu was protected by the purest water of the heavens and earth, while Taotie erupted with blazing flames.

Taotie, the fierce beast guarding the North Mountain, swift as the wind, wielder of flames, listed in the *Classic of the North Mountains*.

Xuanwu, the divine beast guarding the North Sea, immovable as a mountain, encircling the four seas, listed in the *Scroll of the North Sea*.

The violent clash, the complete and utter nemesis, stirred the waters of the four seas, almost overturning half the heavens and earth. But after all, Taotie was already injured, and Xuanwu's defense was impeccable, so he was ultimately at a disadvantage.

Xuan Ming's Xuanwu avatar retracted its gaze.

Assessment: attack power weak, unable to penetrate the defensive layer.

Taotie lay on Xuanwu's back, his fists unable to break through.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "You food, you actually look down on me?!"

Taotie opened his mouth and bit down fiercely.

Xuanwu ignored Taotie's attack, slowly rising, preparing to fuse with Xuan Ming.

But at that moment, a crisp cracking sound came from within the ocean…

Xuanwu's movements froze.

Impossible…

This body is an unbreachable defense.

Impossible…

This body is the embodiment of the concept of defense.

Impossible…

Xuanwu's golden eyes looked back.

It was impossible, no Fierce God's mythical concept could designate this body as food, thus granting it the chance to pierce the defense. Xuanwu saw Taotie sprawled on his body, his pearly white teeth biting down hard on the turtle shell. Cracks appeared on both Xuanwu's shell and Taotie's teeth simultaneously.

Even Xuanwu, lacking self-awareness, even just a split body, felt a sense of absurdity and anger. Thus, Xuanwu's desolate roar soared into the sky, echoing through the North Sea heavens: "You, impudent!!!"

Taotie spat out a mouthful of blood: "You are a turtle!"

"Turtles are food!"

"Food should be eaten by me!"

He raised his head and said righteously, "Because I am Taotie!!"

"You!!!"

Xuanwu turned its head in anger, briefly ignoring Xuan Ming's summons. Xuanwu's form was an integration of turtle and snake, representing the union of Yin and Yang. The snake body roared and appeared, directly wrapping around Taotie, who had been shaken away and weakened. Taotie's hands gripped the snake body tightly.

His face turned ashen from being strangled.

The little fiend frantically clawed at the snake body, screaming, "Leader, run!"

Taotie supported himself with all his might:

"I should run, but I don't know why, when I came here, I felt that I had to fight…"

"I feel like this old turtle has attacked someone very important to me."

"If I don't kill him, my mind won't be at peace."

"That's about how my old man felt when he died…"

Taotie himself didn't understand. It was as if the humans who entered this area were all buffed with 'blood rage and revenge'. But no matter how hard he tried, he was still strangled, his Qi and blood stagnating, his soul dizzy. Then, he saw the snake tail he was holding tightly in his hand.

Huh? What's this? Why is it in my hand?

Eh? Can I eat it?

It's meat!

The taste… seems pretty good?

Taotie opened his mouth.

A row of the best teeth in the Three Realms radiated a cold light in the deep sea.

It was as if one could see him grinning hideously.

As if a voice in the void cried out:

'Taotie, time to eat!!!'

As if he saw the spirit of his deceased father reaching out and touching his head, saying, "Eat!"

Then,

He bit down hard.

Crack!

Xuanwu's sorrowful roar exploded. Taotie inhaled sharply. Xuanwu's Qi and blood were connected, and torrential Qi and blood were directly absorbed by Taotie. Both guardians of the northern region, one a fiend and one a god, now possessed the same blood.

Taotie had a flash of inspiration, suddenly becoming extremely clear-headed. His willpower and comprehension were raised to the peak.

"I've found it!"

He roared, then grasped his past power. His boundless aura twisted, briefly regaining control of the true body of the Four Fiends, Taotie. Along with a hissing sound, blood gathered and coalesced beside him, transforming into Taotie.

Yu Qiang on the sea was astonished.

And the gods also heard the low roar that seemed to come from the ancient primordial era.

The four seas were overturned. The enormous Xuanwu, seemingly able to support the heavens and earth, appeared, raising its head and roaring in anger. On the other side, blood-red churned and then dispersed. The true body of Taotie, with tiger teeth and human claws, eyes under its armpits, appeared simultaneously. Taotie, in the form of a fierce tiger, directly embraced Xuanwu.

The two mountain-like divine beasts and fiends began to fight on the North Sea.

The world changed color, and the four seas churned!

Yu Qiang was astonished, unable to believe that his backup plan had been taken over by Taotie.

Wei Yuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, calmed his mind, and steadied himself. The output power of the Mount Buzhou account was truly terrifying. He had only used one move to support the heavens and earth, and now he felt dizzy. He forced himself to focus, his thoughts racing, considering how to repel the enemy.

Well, at this time, he should take the opportunity to withdraw and pretend to let Yu Qiang go.

Or rather, yes, Ye Ming, try to pass the buck to Ye Ming.

Well, young man, do a good job. This old man is giving you this excellent opportunity to train.

Don't disappoint me.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he would pretend to be like this and leave with Little White, maintaining his dignity, similar to the Empty Fort Strategy, making Yu Qiang afraid to act rashly, and then leave safely. Many plans to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away flashed through Wei Yuan's mind in an instant, but all these plans disappeared when he turned his head and saw the blood on the corner of the white-clothed girl's mouth.

The girl placed her hands on his back, doing her best to maintain his current self, and smiled:

"I'm fine."

Wei Yuan withdrew his gaze.

There was still power for one last strike…

This time, he wouldn't retreat.

His five fingers spread slightly, his golden pupils narrowing slightly. At this moment, the power of his Mount Buzhou cultivation seemed to have reached its limit, but at the same time, he suddenly leveraged the position of Mount Kunlun. The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, exchanged a glance and jumped into the sea with a plop.

Then, they quickly approached the battlefield between Taotie and Xuanwu.

They simultaneously threw a punch to the left and right of Xuanwu's avatar!

The two punches directly hit Xuanwu's left and right temples.

Emperor Shu even struck a cool pose and shouted [True·Personality Adjustment Punch], but he swallowed a bellyful of water, gurgling for a while. But the mythical concept had been completely bestowed, and this time they had both used their full strength.

[Refining the False to Return to the Truth]

[Distorting] the Heavenly Dao, [severing] the primary and secondary relationship between Xuan Ming and Xuanwu.

Then, briefly [bestowing] [self] upon the Xuanwu avatar.

From then on, He would no longer be a mindless avatar. This way, when they slipped away later, they could directly delay Yu Qiang's judgment.

The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, turned pale and barely climbed ashore.

Wei Yuan looked at the two ancient emperors over there, gesturing with his eyes: 'How is it, did you act willingly, or should we leave… are you alright?'

This time, the two Emperors, Shu and Hu, understood Wei Yuan's eyes.

That murderous aura was almost plastered on his face.

The one fat and one short old man shook their heads and waved their hands repeatedly.

'Damn, calm down, calm down, don't go too far!'

'You only have a Mount Buzhou God experience card right now!'

'Young man, calm down! Don't be reckless!'

Wei Yuan withdrew his gaze, saw the two old men over there shaking their heads cheerfully, indicating that there was no need to worry about them, nodded, and muttered to himself, I understand.

They were saying it's okay, there's no need to worry about their safety?

Thank you for your help, old men.

I will do my best.

Huh?!!

Then, the faces of the two Emperors, Shu and Hu, froze. They saw the white-robed youth's aura rising, the last of his power gathering, the power of the Mount Buzhou God driven to the extreme, actually simultaneously outlining the power of Mount Kunlun. Originally, Wei Yuan just wanted to smash out all his power in one go.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt another possibility.

He was, after all, a direct disciple of the Three Teachings, the pinnacle of human sword art.

At this moment, the girl's hands pressed down on his back, his comprehension maxed out. In that instant, he suddenly grasped the flash of inspiration. Then, the power of the Mount Buzhou God and the power of the Mount Kunlun God, which had originally begun to conflict, actually stabilized in an incredible way.

The faces of the two Emperors, Shu and Hu, froze.

So that's how it is?

The white-haired youth stretched out his right hand, clenched his five fingers, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled, the laws solidified, as if a voice murmured indifferently.

Edict—

This body is the eternal one of all world earth脈 (dì mài, earth vein), the only one in all realms.

Edict—

This body is the supporter of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, indestructible through myriad calamities.

The sky surged, Wei Yuan saw the limit of Mount Buzhou—Mount Buzhou as the core, possessing the characteristics of Mount Kunlun, this was the node of all earth脈 (dì mài, earth vein) in the myriad worlds, the pillar of the myriad worlds surrounded by the heavens. And what was this—

This was the beginning of one, the end of the path of the mountain god.

But at this time, Wei Yuan's soul suddenly stagnated, his vision blurred, his foundation was ultimately completely unable to reach the realm of this sword. Even with the power of the Mount Buzhou God and the power of the girl behind him, he couldn't deliver it. As a swordsman, he understood that if this sword couldn't be delivered, it could never be thrust out again.

At this moment, the bite wound on his neck suddenly transmitted a trace of itching.

A gentle force flowed through his body.

It was as if someone was breathing in his ear, carrying a familiar, dangerous, and tempting aura.

The azure-robed woman, Xian.

For some reason, this force was like the last drop of water in the desert, allowing Wei Yuan to support himself and deliver that sword. The Chang'an Sword naturally flew out of his sleeve and into his hand. Time seemed to freeze, supported by the concept of [The Heaven-Supporting Pillar Surrounded by Myriad Worlds], which did not exist in the world.

This sword moved forward inch by inch amidst the bewilderment of the gods.

Then, Wei Yuan locked onto the Northern Emperor Yu Qiang, whose body had a flaw due to the problem with the Xuanwu avatar, and saw the only flaw in that impenetrable defense.

Finally, accompanied by a crisp shattering sound.

The sword pierced through the legend of impenetrability, pierced into the chest of the Northern Emperor Yu Qiang, and came out from his back.

Then, the wind flowed, and the sounds of all things poured into his ears.

The indifferent [Mount Buzhou God] overlooked the astonished and incredulous Northern Emperor. The green blade in his palm slowly dissipated, turning into golden light and returning to his sleeve. He retracted his fair hand and said, "Impenetrable body?"

He didn't say much, calmly saying, "Let's go."

Taotie, who had been fighting fiercely, regained his senses and instantly appeared here.

The white-haired, long-robed [Mount Buzhou God] departed, stepping on the heads of the Four Fiends, leaving behind a mess. The Northern Emperor spewed out blood, kneeling on one knee, in disbelief. The surrounding area was deathly silent, everyone was immersed in the shock of the strongest defense being pierced by a single sword.

Everyone knew that after today, the Great Wilderness would probably change again.

The Mount Buzhou God reappeared in the Three Realms and Eight Desolations with an unmatched posture.

The first battle.

Breaking through the strongest defense head-on.

……………………

The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, chased after him from afar, also appearing on Taotie's back. They patted Wei Yuan's shoulder and said loudly, "Not bad, young man! You deserve to be the kid that this old man has a good impression of. I knew you could do it, hahaha!"

"Bullshit, you clearly told him to stop just now!"

"You're the one talking nonsense!"

The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, were tearing each other down.

The aura of the Mount Buzhou God on Wei Yuan's body began to dissipate rapidly. He raised his eyes and looked to the side. There was a stone table that had appeared there. He seemed to see the azure-robed dragon girl half-leaning against the stone table, her graceful figure, her right hand supporting her chin, smiling.

Thinking of the wound on his neck, and that force just now, he suddenly thought of what Chang Xi had once said: 'Even ordinary dragons, their saliva has the effect of regenerating flesh and bones. The effect of you, the legendary Zhuzhao Jiuyou dragon, should be even better.'

It was dragon saliva…

Wei Yuan sighed and said, "Thank you, Xian…"

The argument on Taotie's back came to an abrupt end. The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, looked at Wei Yuan with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, then followed his gaze, startled, and said, "Kid, what are you talking about?!"

"There's nothing there!"

Nothing?!

Wei Yuan was shocked, then seemed to foresee something. He saw the graceful azure-robed dragon girl with a smile on her lips suddenly floating in front of him, smiling like a flower, putting her finger to her lips:

"Oh my, so soon, you want to see me?"

"Huh?"

"Don't say no."

Want to see you…

Could it be… Xian, Zhujiuyin, a dream?

Wei Yuan finally understood, then his body swayed, and his vision completely darkened. He fainted directly.

He had already exceeded his limit.
