Chapter 46 The Matter of the Body

Two against one, but their opponent was currently Qing Shi's strongest combatant.

Moreover, this was, after all, a battle deep within enemy territory. It wasn't so much that Da Zun feared the Heavenly Emperor's strength.

Rather, He was more worried that the other experts of Qing Shi would arrive upon hearing the news. If Buzhou Mountain and Nuwa arrived as well, then all the top-tier experts in Qing Shi, the first echelon of the Ten Great Peak Dao Fruit Realms, would appear.

In addition, for some reason, Huntian had a problem that shouldn't have occurred.

At worst, He might have to directly face the combined forces of the top three of the Ten Great Peak Dao Fruit Realms.

It was precisely because He didn't want to face such a situation.

That He spent a long time dividing these powerful individuals one by one, seeking out their weaknesses, either killing them or sealing them away.

Patience, tranquility, and lengthy planning.

His achievements were also extremely complex.

Rising with the trend, if the momentum was not there, then He would change it at will, without the rigidity of a so-called pinnacle expert.

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi returned to Zhuo Shi, and many Zhuo Shi experts appeared to welcome Him. The Da Zun's expression remained calm, nodding slightly. He raised His eyes to look at the distant firmament. In this Zhuo Shi world, countless streams of the Great Dao converged, transforming into magnificent and terrifying bands of laws that directly surrounded many worlds.

Each stream of light represented the flow of laws.

This was the true form of the Ten Great Peak Dao Fruit Realms of Zhuo Shi, the marks left by the Great Dao of Qing Shi in Zhuo Shi.

And only here.

In Zhuo Shi.

Da Zun was in His true form, because in this place, He could mobilize all the laws of Zhuo Shi, use all the Great Dao imprints of Zhuo Shi. Only then was He in His full glory, representing the integration of many Dao Fruits, and the initial Huntian of many laws was exactly one inside and one outside. That was how they finally fought head-on.

It was less a clash between Huntian and Da Zun.

It was more like a battle between Source and End, the ultimate confrontation between "Chaos before opening, Yin and Yang undivided" and "All things imprinted, ultimately returning to the Great Dao." Only He could allow Huntian to retain its physical vitality and preserve its Gongti even after its True Spirit had dissipated.

The tall man who had previously stopped Wei Yuan during the Tang Dynasty looked at Huntian's body and said:

"Da Zun, has there been a problem with this body?"

"If not, how could you have returned so quickly?"

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi calmly nodded.

"It is Huntian, after all."

The tall, unparalleled man, representing the Foundation, and in some ways similar in status to Buzhou Mountain, although different, remained silent. Just as Buzhou Mountain would not easily leave Qing Shi to fight in Zhuo Shi, He would not easily leave this place. After a moment of silence, He recalled the events of the past.

Looking at the silent Huntian, He said, "That's true."

"Emperor Huntian had chosen to self-destruct back then..."

"If Da Zun hadn't stopped Him, it would have almost succeeded."

"Allowing Him to truly reverse Qing and Zhuo."

Da Zun slightly lowered His eyes.

Huntian had come to this place, and His final choice was to return to nothingness in Zhuo Shi.

With His terrifying foundation, He could reverse the fundamental laws of Qing and Zhuo.

In the past, when a strong individual from Qing Shi died, based on the principles of Qing and Zhuo, a corresponding blessed land would be created in Zhuo Shi, generating a large amount of Yuan Qi. This process would be completed through the Great Ravine of the East Sea, Guixu. However, Huntian at that time had actually planned to completely reverse this fundamental law.

"If He had succeeded..."

Then His own foundation!

And the many Zhuo Shi demons He had killed!

Would all instantly reverse and flow back from the Ravine of Guixu.

This process would not only directly create more than a hundred blessed lands in Qing Shi, but also directly allow the Master of the Great Ravine of the East Sea.

The Guixu Supreme.

To take this opportunity to step into the Ten Great Peaks, at least half a step into it.

"If He had succeeded, it could have extended the life of Qing Shi by 100,000 years."

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi coughed a few times, His voice calm: "But, that was too naive."

The tall man didn't say much, but His eyes swept around, not seeing the woman who often argued with Him:

"Da Zun, where is the Thunder God?"

Da Zun said calmly, "Dead."

The tall man was silent, "Then what about Truth?"

"Also dead."

"......Zhuo Shi Tianji is the most cunning."

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi said calmly, "Zhuo Shi Tianji died in the hands of Fuxi."

Then He shook His head: "However, since it is said that after Fuxi died once in My hands, He still managed to escape with His life, perhaps we can also look forward to Tianji's good fortune."

The tall man was silent for a moment, and said, "Then, did Thunder and Truth die in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor?"

"......"

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi was silent for a moment, and said calmly, "No."

"No, they all died in the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun."

The tall man murmured, "Is that the newly emerged pinnacle expert in Qing Shi?"

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi said, "It's the sword master from the human world who came here and went crazy a little over a thousand years ago."

!!!

The tall man suddenly raised His head, looking at the Da Zun in disbelief. Even as steady and quiet as He was, He couldn't help but raise His voice and said, "It's Him!!! How is that possible? His previous state was clearly that He hadn't even achieved Gongti. Even if He were to achieve Gongti, it would take tens of thousands of years. How could it be so fast?"

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi said:

"He is growing very fast, but His Gongti is mixed, and He has temporarily improved it with special methods."

"It's not worth fearing."

"Moreover, He has already been severely injured by Huntian, and His Gongti has been greatly reduced."

Only then did the other Zhuo Shi experts around suppress their many shocks and loss of composure, saying: "So it was a clever trick, and now that He has been severely injured, there is nothing to fear."

"After all, Da Zun took action."

"How could there be any reason not to capture Him easily?"

"If it weren't for the problem with Huntian's body this time, we would have definitely achieved greater results."

"It is not impossible to kill the so-called Yuanshi Tianzun on the spot, avenge Thunder and Truth, and bring back His head and Dao Fruit."

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi did not care about these mixed words, but frowned and stared at Huntian's body, which had a problem that shouldn't have occurred. He reconstructed Huntian's Gongti with countless laws. In theory, it was impossible for that situation of delayed action to occur. Could it be... was there a problem with the True Spirit?

Was it because Huntian was too powerful.

Even if the True Spirit was gone, some imprints and traces remained.

When encountering friends and acquaintances.

Would it move with it, instinctively stimulate and react?

No, this was also impossible. Huntian's True Spirit had already reached the realm of origin, integrating all laws into one.

In this realm, it was impossible to leave so-called traces and imprints.

When He left, He truly left.

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi casually waved His hand, signaling the others to retreat. The Zhuo Shi experts and the tall man bowed and retreated step by step. The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi had already examined the basic situation, pondered slightly, recalled the scenes of Wei Yuan's previous battle with Huntian, and raised His eyes to look at Huntian's brow.

Could it be...

What did that Yuanshi Tianzun do?

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi realized something, slowly raised His hand, His fingertip stained with flowing light, and probed towards Huntian's brow.

"......Could it be, it's here."

At this moment!

Just right!

A clear sword cry like the roar of a dragon suddenly rose, shaking the surroundings and shaking the universe!

The entire Zhuo Shi world shook violently, and the Da Zun of Zhuo Shi's finger paused, not touching Huntian's brow.

Then He suddenly raised His head.

He saw the countless rays of light representing the Great Dao imprints of Zhuo Shi suddenly scattered briefly, as if they were avoiding something. The Zhuo Shi experts, following the creed of egoism, quickly dodged in all directions, while the tall man rushed towards the Da Zun.

Everything happened in a short period of time.

Then came the terrifying and unparalleled sword light.

Like stars falling to the ground.

Suddenly slashed down!

The tall man stretched out His hand, but still didn't touch it, just watching helplessly as the terrifying sword fell, seeing the Da Zun staggering back. He had just returned to this place, had not yet completely connected with the world's Dao Fruit, and had already been cut by this sword, because this sword was even sharper and faster than the intent of contacting the Great Dao!

The sword light dissipated.

Many Zhuo Shi demons suddenly raised their heads and looked over.

Then all were silent, their expressions panicked, seeing the Da Zun of Zhuo Shi holding His left arm, and His left arm had been cut off at the root, falling to the ground like this, as if losing all vitality in an instant. A long sword was stuck upside down in the ground, still with the sound of sword cries, lingering and imperceptible.

The flat voice only fell at this moment.

Ethereal and distant, as if coming from beyond the Nine Heavens.

"Cut."

The Da Zun of Zhuo Shi covered the stump of His arm, gnashing His teeth: "......Yuanshi Tianzun."

Then all around was dead silence.

And Da Zun spread His five fingers, but His arm could no longer heal, could not regrow, strands of karma entangled on it. Even if the severed arm was placed on the wound, it could not be restored. At the same time, His Gongti seemed to have been directly cut off by one-sixth, and it collapsed rapidly like an avalanche.

Gongti · Broken!

Qing Shi.

Wei Yuan slowly stretched out His hand, and karma gathered between His five fingers. It was a method like the treasure-dropping golden coin, but it was no longer limited to form.

"Karma established."

"Da Zun's Gongti is linked to my life."

The five fingers slowly clenched together.

Strands of karma entangled on the arm end of Da Zun, gathering in the void, as if transforming into a white-haired Daoist, surrounded by karma, strands of golden light flowing backwards, as if crossing the heavens and worlds, Qing and Zhuo, watching Da Zun, His five fingers slightly clenched, His wrist turning and lowering.

Karma established.

This time, the Daoist took the initiative to provide the existence of both ends of karma—His own life.

So He lowered His eyes, His voice hoarse and low: "Between you and me."

"It's an endless battle."

There was no sound in the entire Zhuo Shi.

······················

And at this time, the Daoist, who had finished making big talk, swayed, and could no longer control His injuries.

First, He released the earth-shattering sword.

Then He forcibly used the karma of the Chang'an Sword to establish karma and break Da Zun's Gongti.

Even the normalized Ten Great Peaks could not withstand it. In an instant, the Dao Fruit of Truth and the Dao Fruit of Annihilation separated and flew back towards Zhurong again, while Thunder also returned to the Heavenly Court Talisman system. The Daoist's aura suddenly stopped, and He fell downwards. Yu the Great opened His arms, looked up at the sky, and ran over, intending to catch Him.

Fuxi didn't know when He had a rope in His hand, intending to lasso the stinky boy like a lasso.

The Great Lake Dragon God said: "My sons, go and welcome the Heavenly Lord!"

But a hand casually grabbed the Daoist's collar, and with a sweep of His palm, clouds gathered, holding up the seriously injured and unconscious Heavenly Lord. Then the Lord of the Stars said peacefully:

"I still have an agreement to fight Him. I'll take this person away first."

"He can recover well in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain."

His gaze crossed the remaining turbid air and noticed the two rising suns, and saw Dayi holding a war bow.

Then He nodded slightly imperceptibly, and a pixel-level smile appeared at the corner of His mouth.

Quickly restrained.

The Great Lake Dragon God was stunned and said loudly: "But He is our Heavenly Lord."

Fuxi nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

The white-haired youth said flatly: "This person is related to my Kunlun."

Fuxi nodded again: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"So that's how it is."

The Heavenly Emperor lowered His eyes slightly, and His tone was cold and flat: "It doesn't matter, whoever wants to take this person away."

"You can come to Heavenly Emperor Mountain."

"I'll be waiting."
