Chapter 441 I Refuse

Bang!

…!

Time reversed. Traces of everything around flickered in the light and shadows before quickly dimming. Faces were glimpsed, different worlds were seen, different eras unfolded, countries collapsed and reformed, people gathered and scattered like dust, the old became infants in an instant, and plants withered and bloomed again in spring.

The clash of sword and fist repeatedly exploded into violent ripples and waves.

Illuminating the ten directions and the three thousand worlds.

Even the Heavenly Emperor, who was maintaining the stability of the path of time, was cut apart, colliding with extremely violent ripples. The burst and flow of starlight could be seen. At this moment, Fuxi had fought to the point of madness. Facing Wei Yuan, who had reached this level, even he could no longer hold back.

If he continued to hold back, he might be drawn in as well.

Having just shattered an incomparably condensed sword light that had almost touched the limit of the sword dao trend, Fuxi’s palms were numb from the aftershocks of the remaining sword qi, and even the circulation of his qi was faintly discordant. Before he could recover, he saw another sword thrusting towards his brow. It was ordinary, but the surrounding light flowed and changed, with layers of cause and effect, as if all possibilities were sealed within the sword!

With this sword, even if there were ten directions and countless parallel timelines, there would only be one outcome!

Hit!

It was a sword move that had pushed technique to its limit, a pinnacle of skill.

It was also the use of authority to converge cause and effect.

At this moment, the two were fused into one, demonstrating the profound usage of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect in the form of a sword technique. Even Fuxi had to sigh in admiration. The little guy he could have crushed with a casual hand back then had now grown to this point, where even he had to use his full strength.

His figure flowed calmly through the vastness of time. His hands swept calmly across the void, and the purest Yin and Yang energies gathered, majestic and overbearing. One palm pressed straight towards Wei Yuan's throat, and the other pressed towards Wei Yuan's heart. At this moment, there was no holding back, and killing intent ran rampant.

Even with Wei Yuan's current physique, taking this move would at least result in serious injury, followed by being swept into the temporal turbulence.

A ruthless move right from the start!

Yin and Yang flowed, evolving all things!

Since they were the origin of all things, they could naturally tear apart all things, and then deny all things from the foundation and origin of the myriad phenomena. Wei Yuan also understood the terror of Yin and Yang energies, so he did not dare to underestimate them at all. On his long sword, the sword light was extremely condensed, forcibly cutting open the Yin and Yang energies.

Then, he instantly locked onto Fuxi with cause and effect.

His right hand clenched slightly, and then, as if pulling, he suddenly dragged it horizontally to the side.

Streams of golden cause and effect shone brightly in an instant, forcibly binding all of Fuxi's limbs, directly tying him into a ball. Then, the sword in his palm drew a stream of light in the void, precisely placed on Fuxi's neck. Even though the sword light was extremely restrained, it still left a wound on Fuxi's neck, and golden blood dripped onto the sword's blade. At this moment, the sword was still whistling incessantly.

Wei Yuan breathed slightly.

The previous battle, not to mention the brevity of time, was taking place as they traversed backward through time. Even with the positioning of the Chang’an Sword, and the help of the Heavenly Emperor and the guidance of cause and effect, it was still an extremely dangerous thing.

A moment of carelessness could lead to falling into the boundless turbulence.

Rather, the fact that their level of cultivation could allow them to traverse the ages in their true bodies was already an extremely difficult, almost impossible feat.

The Dao Fruit body traversing, being able to interfere with the past and future through certain means, was completely different in difficulty.

If the struggle just now had been a little more forceful, it might have directly caused the road paved with starlight to collapse. Wei Yuan had to suppress his strength while also sealing Fuxi's movements. The difficulty and mental exertion of this battle were not at all inferior to fighting the Great Lord.

Especially when Fuxi attacked him just now, he was merciless.

Every move was ruthless and decisive, aiming straight for the vital points with underhanded tactics.

Even now, with Wei Yuan pressing down on him with his sword, Wei Yuan could not completely relax his vigilance. Otherwise, the probability of capsizing here with Fuxi was too great. Think about it, Fate, the Great Lord of the Turbid World, the Lightning of the Turbid World, the Yin and Yang of the Turbid World—the numbers and lineup of those who had been tricked by this guy were, frankly speaking, no less than those who had fallen under Wei Yuan's sword.

Fuxi glanced down, looking at the Qingping Sword that exuded a sharp aura, and said with a smile, "I say, Nephew, what's our relationship? Do you need to be so polite? Uncle admits defeat, really admits defeat, haha, or else I'll tell you some secrets, and you can move that sword away a bit?"

"Otherwise, this Qingping Sword is too sharp, and it's uncomfortable on my neck."

Wei Yuan said indifferently, "How can I lock the dragon and snake without a sword?"

"If you want to play the Three Kingdoms drama, the White Gate Tower scene, go back and act it out with Lu Bu yourself."

Fuxi laughed a few times, seeing that Wei Yuan had no intention of paying attention to him. Not only did he not move the Qingping Sword in his hand away, but he even urged his strength, causing the sword to be entangled with even sharper sword qi. Around him, there were even streams of golden cause and effect flowing and changing, and his five fingers loosened, and the sword qi flowed and changed, directly transforming into a Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

Instead of using a sword weapon, he used the sword qi of the four directions, changing and flowing, to fix the ten directions inside and out.

The black-haired Daoist said indifferently:

"There's no other way. I'll have to let you suffer a little bit first."

"After all, I don't want the story of the old man and the snake to be re-enacted. You've seen the power of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation."

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation was extremely violent, and it used cause and effect as a guide.

If Fuxi dared to move randomly, cause and effect would instantly turn into sword qi, and the sword qi would flow and chain together, with the change of reversing Yin and Yang within. It was a move and formation specifically designed to counter Fuxi. If he moved, he would immediately suffer backlash, and it would be the backlash of cause and effect. The more power he used, the more damage he would receive. Even he would be injured lightly.

Wei Yuan said, "So, what about the secret?"

Fuxi looked at the surrounding chains of cause and effect and the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and laughed:

"Ah, could it be that the dignified Yuanshi Tianzun is planning to get something for nothing?"

"You're not planning to pay any price at all, and you want to get the secret?"

But seeing that Wei Yuan seemed to have no intention of getting entangled with him, especially seeing him raise his hand to press on the sword, the smile on his face slightly subsided. He simply sat on the starlight road created by Dijun, letting time flow backward rapidly, and said, "As for the secret, ha... I wasn't lying. I stopped the Great Lord from transcending and prevented the Great Lord from giving his foundation to you, all for your own good."

"The Great Lord's greatest obsession at that time was actually transcendence."

"When his own realm had already arrived, he had actually met the greatest requirement for transcendence, surpassing the paradox and contradiction of the self. In that case, when he gave his foundation to you, he would reach the realm of transcendence..."

"In that case, something very, very bad would happen."

Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Something very bad?"

Fuxi said lazily, "That's a long story."

Wei Yuan was about to say that since it was a long story, then he should just make it short, when he realized that the speed of the surrounding time flowing rapidly had begun to gradually slow down. This only represented one thing, and that was that the Chang’an Sword's fixed time point had arrived.

In other words, the location of the Great Lord of the Turbid World had also arrived.

At this moment, Wei Yuan suddenly sensed that Huntian had left a trace of aura in Houtu's dream for Houtu. At this moment, this aura was also nearby, which also meant that Houtu and the Western Emperor were also on the same timeline, or at least on a very similar timeline.

Wei Yuan suddenly looked up, "It's here..."

He sensed the location of the Chang’an Sword. This was a necessary step to traverse time and arrive at the determined coordinates.

And behind him, Fuxi, who was locked in the most intense killing realm of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, sat on the starlight. The young man lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved into a smile. Then, the silent Yin and Yang aura suddenly burst forth, followed by a series of sword cries!

The Qi of Yin and Yang erupted!

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation followed the cause and effect, with an extremely violent backlash.

Wei Yuan's pupils shrank sharply.

Turning around, he saw Fuxi's body being torn apart by the overbearing sword light of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, and blood suddenly soaked his robes. Within the sword formation, there was the power to reverse Yin and Yang, which was a power that even Fuxi could not be immune to. The incomparably powerful sharpness instantly severely injured Fuxi.

But he did not hesitate at all, and suddenly made a move forward.

Yin and Yang and Heavenly Secrets were locked by cause and effect, but his palm still contained a majestic and fiery power. That was the power of the Dao Fruit of the Turbid World Fire. And Wei Yuan saw that the fire burning in Fuxi's eyes was even more blazing than the power of this Dao Fruit. He smiled slightly:

"Unfortunately, little guy, why do you think I'm afraid of death?"

The Dao Fruit of the Turbid World Fire suddenly erupted, and with the terrifying destructive power brought about by shattering the Dao Fruit, he suddenly pressed a move directly on Wei Yuan's shoulder. Even with an indestructible body, it was impossible to ignore this move head-on. Wei Yuan's expression changed, and he was struck and thrown out, then plummeted downwards.

Wei Yuan raised his hand and clenched it, almost instinctively as a swordsman, and boundless sword qi directly pierced Fuxi's body within a short distance. Fuxi seemed to not notice anything, and stepped on the path of time formed by the gathering of Yin and Yang, starlight, and cause and effect, and suddenly flew further forward. Then, he fell, and was swallowed by the vast vortex of time.

Bang!

…!

The timeline was later than when Wei Yuan discovered the coordinates of the Chang’an Sword.

On that timeline, it was the era of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the legend of the heavens collapsing and the goddess Nüwa mending the sky.

In this era, the Great Wilderness was still a world of gods warring, when suddenly a crack appeared, and then Fuxi's figure fell heavily to the ground, startling a burst of beast roars and bird songs. Fuxi was covered in blood, but suddenly burst out laughing. He raised his hand to cover his eyes, his whole body stained with blood.

"Success, success..."

Using the Great Lord of the Turbid World as bait, using the Chang’an Sword as coordinates, cultivating enough power to cross the ages, letting the Heavenly Emperor and cause and effect join hands.

I'm finally back.

This era.

Fuxi staggered to his feet, looking at the sky, his eyes momentarily blank.

The stronger and more stable the strong are on the historical timeline, the more likely a Dao Fruit is to be born, which is the true main branch of destiny. And powerful existences like him can interfere with the past, but cannot cross the ages with their own bodies. To do this, more conditions need to be met: coordinates, power, stars, Yin and Yang...

I'm finally back.

The era when Ah Wa died mending the sky...

"The pain of having the soul stripped away and the flesh and blood drawn, the constant reincarnation for six thousand years, the three souls and seven spirits transformed into ten bodies walking on the earth, enduring countless pain... This is a memory and reality that cannot be forgotten even after revival."

"It doesn't mean there is no pain just because it's over."

Depending on the time and the choices made, there are actually countless paths of destiny starting from one point. And the one that gives birth to a brand new Dao Fruit cause and effect is the real future, the future that is finally determined. This path of destiny even has the guidance of Huntian.

Huntian guided that guy to participate in the process of propping up the sky and earth, and then stepped into the Dao Fruit.

The Turbid World Lord moved forward step by step, and ultimately almost stepped into transcendence. These two things happened on the same trajectory. This weight has determined that the major events on this path of destiny are irreversible. Once violated, it will bring about heavy backlash. But so what?

The reason living beings live in the world is to change regrets.

The pain of almost being subjected to slow slicing, the sadness of thousands of deaths, the confusion of six thousand years of reincarnation.

Fuxi covered the sword wound on his chest that could not heal, and staggered forward.

I refuse to accept.

I want to deny this history!

Ah Wa…

Ah Wa.

We're not mending the sky anymore.

Ah Wa…

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother is here.
