Chapter 182 The Sound of the Hammer

Fuxi suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the Turbid World Tianji struggling there, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, teasingly saying:

"Was the 'blood' just now to your taste? Was it sweet?"

"Well, that bottle of cherry-flavored happy water I swiped from the museum was somewhat useful."

"So now, Turbid World Tianji, it seems you've only lost your Dao fruit and rules, and are in a severely weakened state."

Turbid World Tianji's expression changed drastically: "What are you going to do?!"

Fuxi casually took out a bottle exuding a twisted aura, and said, "This is Feng You Jing (essential balm) from the mortal realm. I created it based on its principles, replacing all kinds of top-notch spiritual materials from the Mountains and Seas World in a one-to-one ratio. It's enough to drive away ordinary demons, and it's especially effective against flying insect-type demons."

"I named it Ancient·God·Feng You Jing."

"Of course, while retaining its basic effects, I've also specially enhanced its stimulating properties."

Turbid World Tianji's expression froze.

"You..."

Then he saw Fuxi directly snap his fingers.

That thing, refined from ancient spiritual materials, immediately filled the jade bottle in Fuxi's hand.

Inside, Turbid World Tianji's shrill, desperate screams constantly echoed, as if he were experiencing the most painful and desperate torment in the world. But Fuxi listened with rapt attention, murmuring, "Such screams, such tones, are truly, truly healing!"

"Record it, record it!"

Fuxi took out a recording artifact of the highest grade.

Then, he aimed it at this pure-refined treasure, capturing all of Turbid World Tianji's painful screams with the highest level of sound quality. Fuxi narrowed his eyes, swaying his head, "It's truly wonderful."

"I've decided, from now on, every time I sleep."

"I'll listen to this sound before going to sleep, perfect."

And that bottle in his hand was just an ordinary beverage bottle that could be found in the mortal realm.

He had swiped it from the museum.

With Fuxi's abilities, he easily transformed it into a small cave-heaven level space. Upon closer inspection, there was no body of Turbid World Fuxi at all, only a mass of true spirit twisting and jumping in agony. Even the so-called 'spiritual liquid' poured into it didn't exist.

A brain in a vat.

Everything that Turbid World Fuxi saw was just what Fuxi wanted him to see.

This represented the highest level of torment.

"Alright, next, I'll take a trip to Tian Di (Heavenly Emperor) Mountain."

"Heh heh, I know that little A-Wa wants to eat 'delicious food', heh ha ha ha ha."

"Now that stinky brat's cooking skills are all mine, let's see how he competes with me!"

Fuxi was complacent.

He added a little more ingredients to the bottle in his hand, then tucked it into his sleeve, and was about to set off in high spirits when suddenly, in the void, starlight flowed. Two divine generals wearing armor, towering and exuding the vast and mysterious aura of the starry sky, appeared. They bowed slightly and placed a food box on the table.

Then they disappeared together.

Fuxi raised an eyebrow: "These are... Di Jun's messengers..."

"Oh well, I still have to give Di Jun some face."

"Strange, he actually sent me a letter. Could it be Wei Yuan's death notice?"

He opened the box and saw the food. Protected by layers of starlight, it was still steaming hot when it arrived.

"He actually took the initiative to send me food."

"There must be a trick."

Fuxi sneered: "I'm afraid the Heavenly Emperor wants to try that kid's cooking, but after eating it, he found that even Taotie would vomit, so he deliberately sent the divine generals to give it to me. Such a simple trick, such a childish motive, such an obvious trap. Does he really think I'm Wei Yuan and will jump right in?"

"Ridiculous."

Then he saw a line of words written inside the food box.

"Wa Huang (Nüwa) made it herself."

Fuxi's movements froze.

Ah, this...

A-Wa made it herself?

This, this might be that kid Wei Yuan's trick.

This is definitely his handwriting!

Does he really think I'll fall for such a simple trick? But, what if it's true?

If it's true, then this is A-Wa's own cooking.

Fuxi's eyes froze.

A moment later—

Duang!

The food box fell to the ground and rolled twice.

The Lord of Tianji, who had just schemed against Turbid World Tianji and saw through Di Jun's psychological motives at a glance, collapsed on the ground.

"Gag!!!"

"Wei Yuan..."

Fuxi raised his hand to wipe his mouth, veins popping on his forehead.

"You motherfuc... little scu..."

He suddenly realized that Wei Yuan's 'mother' was basically equivalent to Wa Huang.

Then he forcefully controlled himself.

And said: "Little cutie!"

"Don't let me find a chance!"

…………………………

The great sun flowed with light, transforming into a rainbow. Vast heavenly light turned into a giant wheel.

A huge wooden ship built from the legendary Jianmu (a mythical tree) floated in the air, traveling at a speed that neither the human world's current technology nor transcendent techniques could analyze. The layers of ripples around it were the threads of laws that many cultivators could only hope to reach. At the very front of the giant ship, the Great Sun Golden Crow, wearing golden-sleeved ornate robes, stood with his hands behind his back.

On the ship, a white-haired girl stood by the railing, watching the mountains, rivers, and seas below flash past at an extremely fast speed.

It was her first time leaving the Turbid World and coming to the land of the Clear World, and she was stunned by what she saw.

Liu Niu fidgeted. Jingwei said worriedly, "Is Shifu (Master) going to be alright?"

Xing Tian shook his head and laughed loudly: "He's our human race's current generation of civil officials, how could anything happen to him?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry."

"Our civil officials have all had experiences like this."

Jingwei Bird asked, "Can they all turn danger into safety?"

Xing Tian nodded very affirmatively, "It's alright, those who survive turn danger into safety."

"Those who accidentally die are buried on the spot, it's very convenient."

The Great Sun Golden Crow said indifferently: "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. Since Father took him away, and Wa Huang is healing him, then nothing should happen. There's no safer place in the world than here."

Everyone was slightly relieved.

Old Buzhou Mountain also stroked his beard, approving of this statement.

And at this moment, this flying boat made of Jianmu crossed space and appeared before Tian Di Mountain, whose main body wandered outside the myriad worlds. They saw rounds of stars and great suns pulling the Heavenly Emperor's palace forward, moving slowly in the void adorned with countless stars and traces of countless worlds.

The Great Sun Golden Crow said indifferently: "We're here."

Zhao Gongming was a little nervous.

The white-haired girl slightly raised her eyes, suddenly paused, and her gaze shifted subconsciously. She saw on Tian Di Mountain, on a part of the palace extending outwards, a black-haired, white-robed girl standing by the railing, her temperament gentle and peaceful, her appearance exactly the same as hers, only slightly more mature.

At this moment, the white-robed girl over there seemed to sense something.

Her gentle gaze fell.

The white-haired girl lowered her gaze subconsciously.

Then she paused again, feeling that she was showing weakness by doing so. She clenched her fists, raised her head, and looked over.

Their gazes met.

The white-robed girl Wa Huang smiled, her smile warm.

Just as she was about to speak, the Jianmu flying boat, shrouded in golden dawn-like light and crossing the power of the world, shook violently. The warm and pure dawn light around it also began to tremble violently, and a thunderous roar sounded in the air. Liu Niu and Jingwei almost lost their footing.

Liu Niu waved his right hand, and a thunder-transformed spear slammed onto the Jianmu flying boat, stabilizing his body.

Then he raised his head and said, "What's going on?!"

The Great Sun Golden Crow spread his hands, and the golden dawn became even more intense.

Enough to withstand the attacks of the gods.

But at this moment, it trembled violently like a thin mist in the wind, whistling, as if it would be torn apart in the next moment.

It was Zhao Gongming who acted in time, and the power of the two Great Sun Golden Crow birds barely managed to stabilize this layer of defense. An expression of astonishment appeared on the Great Sun Golden Crow's usually cold face, and he said, "Someone is fighting near Tian Di Mountain, but how is that possible?!"

Buzhou Mountain raised his eyes, incredulously saying: "Someone is fighting around Tian Di Mountain?"

"This is really strange."

"Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor kid isn't here?!"

"Otherwise, how could anyone be so bold as to come here to cause trouble, aren't they afraid of angering the Heavenly Emperor?"

The others all agreed with this statement.

If the Heavenly Emperor wasn't here, how could anyone dare to fight here?

They all prepared for battle.

Only the expression on the Great Sun Golden Crow's face changed several times, from shock, disbelief, confusion, and finally into a daze. He shook his head and murmured, "No... Father is here."

"Even..."

The Great Sun Golden Crow's voice was a little difficult.

Old Man Buzhou Mountain joked: "It can't be that he's the one fighting, right?"

Suddenly, countless stars reappeared in the sky, reflecting in all directions, making countless laws become deep, bright, and even more ethereal and illusory. The observing masses all felt their own insignificance, and as countless starlight flowed and changed, the Heavenly Emperor, wearing a black robe, stepped into the void, his expression desolate.

Buzhou Mountain was stunned.

"Then who is his opponent?! It can't be that the great sovereign of the Turbid World has come back again, right?"

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

A feeling of disbelief emerged from the bottom of his heart, grabbing his heart.

He slowly moved his gaze.

He saw that in the Heavenly Emperor's right hand, he was holding clumps of sword energy that looked like cold, snowy awns, which were then absorbed, crushed, and pulverized by the black hole. With a sweep of his sleeves, they turned into flying ash. On the back of Tian Di Mountain, a Daoist in a green shirt and white hair was also standing in the void, his white hair slightly raised, surrounded by endless sword light.

Using sword light to suppress the heavens and earth, re-enacting earth, water, wind, and fire, resisting the emptiness of the starry sky.

Buzhou Mountain's voice paused for a long time:

"...Wei Yuan."

With a sweep of his sword light, he isolated the power of the stars. Wei Yuan glanced at the Jianmu flying boat over there and nodded slightly. The vast and boundless sword energy around him opened a path, and the starlight on the Heavenly Emperor's side also converged. Thus, the Jianmu boat moved slowly forward, one side was the rising and falling of stars, vast and boundless; the other side was endless sword energy, reaching the heavens and slashing the netherworld.

Magnificent and terrifying, like an ancient war.

Causing everyone to be lost in thought.

Liu Niu held the railing of the flying boat with both hands, staring at the white-haired Daoist over there. After a long time, he let go of his hands.

Seeming tired, a gentle and satisfied smile appeared on his face uncontrollably.

The flying boat flew into Tian Di Mountain.

Wei Yuan sensed his injuries. Just exchanging a few moves with the Heavenly Emperor had already caused immense pressure to suppress him, causing his meridians to bulge and his body to feel pain. His old injuries also showed signs of recurrence. He could only say that the Heavenly Emperor's foundation was so magnificent and terrifying that it was almost unattainable. With a sigh, he simply raised the long sword in his hand and said:

"My injuries aren't very good, and my gongfu (internal energy) was only completed in the South Sea."

"If we really fought head-on, I definitely wouldn't be your opponent."

Then the white-haired Daoist smiled slightly, and the sword in his hand slashed horizontally: "However, I do have a unique skill."

"It's something I realized on my own."

"Why don't we decide the victory or defeat with one move, what do you say?"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, his voice calm: "Good."

He raised his hand and made a virtual gesture, taking it as if he had already made a move.

Wei Yuan laughed loudly, and with a sweep of his sleeves, streams of sword light flowed and changed in the void. In an instant, they had already suppressed half of the starlight. Thus, in this void, one half was the endless starlight, ethereal and vast; the other side was the sea of sword intent. Four swords were suspended in front of Wei Yuan.

The Daoist lightly flicked the first sword, wide and long, like the abyss of the sky, with the heavenly light above, saying:

"This sword is called [Tian Hen (Heavenly Scar)], emulating the heavenly light above, as if the sky has scars."

The long sword whistled.

"This sword is called [Chen Hou (Dust After)], emulating the earth's laws below. The sword body is slightly shorter, but thick and heavy."

The second short sword also whistled, its sound deep and heavy.

As the swords were flicked one by one, finally, even the Xuanyuan Sword emitted flowing light. There was also a subtle and mysterious feeling between them. The Daoist clenched his five fingers, and the four swords changed and intertwined with the four powers of [Heaven], [Earth], [Human], and [Dao], surging towards the Heavenly Emperor.

Di Jun lowered his eyes and said, "Well done."

He clenched his right hand, retracted it slightly, and then slowly punched out. In an instant, it seemed as if countless stars were shaking and flowing endlessly.

The four divine weapons were directly knocked away the moment they collided.

They danced in the sky, but their energy flowed and changed.

Blood flowed from the corners of the Daoist's mouth, and he pressed his five fingers downwards sharply.

Above was the four great powers of the realm.

Reversing the four great powers of the realm, reversing cause and effect, and changing the heavenly secrets, this was—

[Juedi Tiantong (Severing Heaven and Earth)]!

Thus, the sword energy flowed and transformed into two great formations. One was evolved from Wei Yuan's own four great powers of the realm, and the other reversed the four great powers of the realm. When they changed and flowed, they were also in harmony with Zhuanxu's Juedi Tiantong technique. The upper part was positive, and the lower part was reversed. The two were combined, like a huge millstone interweaving and flowing, its destructive power was extremely terrifying, in line with the mysteries of the Reverse Innate Grand Formation.

One sword had already created three peerless formations.

Integrating [Suppression], [Entrapment], and [Slaughter] into one.

The Heavenly Emperor's expression gradually became serious.

The surrounding starlight shone brightly, suddenly falling down and fighting with the sword formation. The people in Tian Di Mountain could only see countless stars falling from the sky, and the sword light was vast, reversing its momentum, and slashing towards the sky. The two sides constantly collided, making a terrifying sound that shook people's hearts and made them tremble and shocked.

Wei Yuan saw that all four divine weapons were defeated.

He clenched his five fingers.

Thus, after being pushed forward by the layers of the three types of ancient top formations, he finally found that sliver of opportunity.

The epiphany he obtained from the Turbid World Great Sovereign using countless laws to reverse and create a void Hun Tian (primordial chaos) physique.

[Four Great Powers of the Realm]

[Earth, Water, Wind, Fire]

[Reverse Innate]

[Juedi Tiantong]

Finally, countless sword energy matched countless streams of light, losing its sharpness, as if ripples spread out, silently, yet unavoidable. This was a method of transforming all the laws here into divine swords, and then reflecting them with the heart, re-enacting the vast void where Hun Tian was located—

"In the time of primordial chaos, Yin and Yang were not divided."

The Daoist clenched his five fingers, and the plain silver ripples had directly enveloped the Heavenly Emperor and countless stars.

His tone was calm and gentle:

"Sword Formation·Zhu Xian (Immortal Execution)."

"Heavenly Emperor, please enlighten me."
