Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 29 It's Alright Not Being a Divine Bird (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Chapter 546 Even If I'm Not a Divine Bird, It Doesn't Matter (W More Requests for Monthly Tickets~)

——Chi (尺), a unit of measurement.

Craftsmen use it to measure length; emperors use it to regulate the world.

Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler (青霄正阳尺), a Dao weapon (道兵), four chi (尺) and three cun (寸) in length, with azure steel as its base, and crimson sun patterns winding around the ruler's body, forming the image of azure clouds encircling the sun.

Legend has it that a Ziwei Emperor (紫薇帝君) once used this ruler to pacify the world, end the chaotic era, plan the distribution of mountains, redefine the course of rivers, and when he ascended to become a god, he left this Dao weapon in his earthly tomb, awaiting a destined person in later generations.

The ruler's body is indestructible, capable of lodging the power of humanity, and converting it into extreme heat and immense mass, incinerating all enemies.

——Dao (刀), a sharp blade.

Commoners wield it to dissect objects; martial artists wield it to commit forbidden acts of killing.

Blade of Annihilation (灭度之刃), a divine weapon, four chi (尺) and nine cun (寸) in length, completely black, with a thick, lightless spine, and cyan veins like blood vessels covering the blade, as if gods and demons spilled blood upon it.

This blade has no legends in this world, its essence is unknown, its origin is unknown; only that it is the weapon wielded by the divine bird Zhuzhou (烛昼), that it once annihilated the descent of celestial demons, pierced the nine heavens, and protected the people.

The blade is forged from Vermilion Bird's Southern Fire (朱雀南明离火), although it has not been upgraded to a Dao weapon by adding main materials, it is still considered the most supreme divine weapon in the world, capable of summoning thunder and fire, and annihilating the undead.

Now, in Southern Ze Province (南泽州), at the edge of the Southern Prison Sea (南狱海), in the center of the Prison Sea Despair (狱海绝境).

Blade light and ruler radiance intertwine, two powerful weapons protecting humanity, colliding with all their might in the hands of their respective owners!

Clang!

At the first instant of weapon contact, the surging fire and lightning transform into plasma exceeding hundreds of thousands of degrees, the air is displaced into a vacuum, and violent shockwaves surge outwards in all directions like a tsunami.

Nan Zhengkai (南正楷) is astonished to perceive that at the other end of the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler, a scarlet-golden light erupts, and an unparalleled force is pressing down on him with the force of Mount Tai.

It is like a giant hammer smashing down, wanting to smash him into the earth!

This is not any spell or supernatural power, but simply brute force.

What savage power!

With a solemn expression, Nan Zhengkai moves his arm, the patterns on the divine ruler light up, and boundless power surges within his body and the divine weapon.

Layers upon layers of tidal power stack upon each other at this instant, gathering into an immense wave.

With a single wave of his ruler, azure-red spiritual light bursts forth, and the power sufficient to collapse mountains erupts, actually directly knocking the humanoid Zhuzhou out of the battlefield, sending him flying backwards!

The air is as if it does not exist, being heated and burned at super-high speed, and the figure of Zhuzhou directly carves a long fiery trail across the sky, tearing through the mist of resentful spirits, disappearing into the gloomy firmament, turning into a shining star.

Only after this do the shockwaves and thunderous sonic booms belatedly arrive.

Having used the power of the Dao weapon to repel Zhuzhou, Nan Zhengkai's expression is nevertheless serious.

He is well aware that he only seemingly gained the advantage just now, but in reality, the opposite is true.

The terrifying power within Zhuzhou's body, like a volcanic eruption, is incredibly frightening; if not for the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler, he would have undoubtedly been suppressed.

"Even immortals and gods, at the same level, probably couldn't do any better... or even compare!"

——That attack just now could not possibly have seriously injured Zhuzhou; on the contrary, it provided the other party with an opportunity to attack first, and he needs to be wary of the next attack.

Thinking thus, Nan Zhengkai does not rashly pursue, but cautiously prepares for defense.

As expected.

At the moment when Nan Zhengkai assumes a defensive stance, a burst of azure light suddenly shines in the sky, shooting out from the gaps in the clouds.

Buzz! The clouds break open, and an azure seed (岚种) large hand extends from the gray clouds. It scatters the surrounding clouds, causing the mist to surge, and countless azure seeds are derived from the cloud currents and rub against each other.

Yin and yang intermingle, giving rise to wind and thunder.

In an instant, the entire sky of dark clouds transforms into countless surging cyan thunderbolts!

Su Zhou (苏昼), who was previously knocked away, now stands indifferently in the center of this sky filled with azure seed lightning. He holds a blade in his right hand, then raises his left hand, causing the infinite azure seeds and lightning in mid-air to condense into bullets.

Although 'Niverse Polarity Evil-Dispelling Divine Thunder' (逆反两极辟邪神雷) is not Su Zhou's ultimate technique, comparable to the antimatter explosion of the 'Five Extremes Divine Thunder' (五极神雷), it is his easiest-to-create high-power offensive magic. It gathers the power of wind and thunder, and each one has the power to shatter and collapse a small mountain, and completely erase and evaporate a small village.

And the number of evil-dispelling divine thunder floating in mid-air now is more than several thousand, tens of thousands?

In the next instant, Su Zhou waves his hand.

The bullets rain down on Nan Zhengkai like a storm.

Instantly, the ground where Nan Zhengkai was previously standing is shattered by the surging wind and thunder. In the surging shockwaves, matter decomposes in the dense lightning, and rocks dissolve into lava in the hot wind.

The leader of the Righteous Sun Nation does not take the attack head-on; he transforms into a streak of cyan rainbow light, flying through the raging storm, flashing through the gaps in the impenetrable lightning.

Hundreds of years of combat experience and the qualities of a True Person (真人) allow Nan Zhengkai to easily discover flaws in the many attacks. Su Zhou's lightning barrage just now certainly has great power and can shatter mountains, but as long as one notices the aiming direction of all the lightning before it erupts, one can roughly predict their trajectory and the areas they will hit, and then dodge them.

The power to shatter mountains is nothing; Nan Zhengkai's armor is the 'Geng Metal Star Pleiades Battle Armor' (庚金星昴战甲) forged by the 'Western Lodgings Star Lord' (西方胄宿星君). Even Ming Zhengde's (明正德) Five Virtues Divine Light (五德神光) can be resisted to some extent, but he does not want to waste the power of the divine armor on this, and wants to observe more of Zhuzhou's combat methods.

For a time, the sounds of wind and thunder are incessant. Zhuzhou ruthlessly drives the wind and thunder to bombard, causing the collapsing earth and lava traces to follow the direction of Nan Zhengkai's evasion, creating a river of lava in the Prison Sea Despair.

"Such great power... Legend has it that Zhuzhou can command the weather, and control the five elements like a phoenix; it seems that this is indeed the case."

Nan Zhengkai's transformed light flashes, and his thoughts race in his heart: "If an ordinary peak True Person were here, their spiritual power would probably be exhausted by now, but Zhuzhou still does not change color. It seems that the five elements in his body generate each other, and his power is endless."

"Sure enough, as I thought, Zhuzhou is very strong!"

"As strong as that Ming Zhengde, inexplicably so."

Back then, in the late Warring States period, the leader of the Righteous Sun, Nan Zhengkai, roamed the world unrivaled. Holding the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler, he certainly did not deliberately cultivate his skills, but if the Dao weapon were removed, he would also be the most powerful True Person cultivator in the world.

However, when facing Ming Zhengde, he was completely suppressed in all aspects—not only was the other party skilled and powerful, but also every aspect was incomparably perfect, without even the slightest shortcoming.

Although Zhuzhou is indeed powerful, he is different from Ming Zhengde. Even Nan Zhengkai can see through some loopholes in Zhuzhou's combat skills.

But his power is so great that it can cover up all loopholes!

Ming Zhengde still has the inherent defect of being born a human, with a mortal body... but Zhuzhou is different.

It is as if he has gathered all the advantages of all living beings in this world into one.

At the helmet of the battle armor, two points of crimson light illuminate. Nan Zhengkai can see the veins of spiritual power surging in Zhuzhou, who is suppressing him in the distance.

——Thunder is the heart; fierce wind surges between breaths in the lungs; powerful divine power and the breath of water flow in the blood; wood qi is endless in the dantian, nurturing a seed.

And fire is the source of everything; it is the most core energy source, driving everything to operate.

The power of circulation, endless.

Nan Zhengkai lost the last time because he was defeated by the phoenix's divine power; he has an instinctive fear of the rotation of the five elements.

But precisely because of fear, he is prepared.

So, in the next instant, he takes out a feather from his bosom, emitting five-colored spiritual light, radiating a colorful radiance.

Azure, yellow, red, black, and white five-colored brilliance flow on it, forming a perfect great cycle. As soon as it appears, it forms a huge field full of five-colored brilliance around Nan Zhengkai.

In front of this field, even Zhuzhou's wind and thunder dissipate into nothingness in an instant, as if they never existed.

"Five Elements Absolute Prohibition!"

Nan Zhengkai unhesitatingly throws out the divine object bestowed by the 'Southern Star Heavenly Lord' (镇南星天君). The five-colored feather immediately decomposes in mid-air, transforming into layers upon layers of subtle and profound patterns, then sinks into this world.

Instantly, the power of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—immediately stagnates. Whether it is the howling storm, the leaping lightning around Su Zhou, or all related spiritual energy changes in the world, they all disappear.

——Immortals and gods are the authority of everything in the world.

Wherever starlight shines, whether it is the rotation of the five elements, the alternation of yin and yang, or even the gestation and birth of spirituality, must obey the will of immortals and gods.

This is the law of Heaven!

Divine light flashes, and a huge five-pointed star array tops the sky, with five-colored brilliance patterns sinking into the world.

For a moment, the leader of the Righteous Sun sees a strange expression on Su Zhou's face, as well as a slightly shocked look.

He can even guess the whispered words of the other party, which did not reach this place.

"It's actually the Five-Colored Peacock's 'Five-Colored Divine Light' (五色神光)—amazing, there really is a divine bird peacock among the immortals and gods."

Standing in mid-air, Zhuzhou's humanoid form begins to emit light, and a phantom of a huge bird begins to emerge: "But if it's just this, it won't be able to seal my power."

——Of course, you are Zhuzhou.

Nan Zhengkai thinks so, and he chuckles: "You are the divine bird Zhuzhou, comparable to Ming Zhengde; how can such tricks bind you?"

"But I don't just have this preparation."

In the next instant, he takes out a dark-golden dharma seal from his bosom. On the bottom of the seal are four bright and distinct large characters.

'Jun Heavenly Nine Fields' (钧天九野).

"True Form Absolute Prohibition!"

In order to walk in the mortal world, divine birds often condense a human body to walk in the world. Although their human bodies are also powerful, their true form is still the most suitable for divine bird combat.

The mutual transformation between the human body and the true form is nothing more than some kind of replacement method in the spirit realm, but as long as the spirit realm is sealed with the authority of the 'Jun Heaven Heavenly Lord' (钧天天君), then the divine bird's true form transformation method in the mortal world can be sealed!

The divine seal plunges into the spirit realm, transforming into a huge array, suppressing time and space.

Instantly, the flashing light on Zhuzhou's human body immediately stops, and he seems even more surprised that the transformation, which theoretically cannot be interrupted, could possibly be interrupted.

Five Elements Absolute Prohibition, prohibiting Zhuzhou's spiritual energy and supernatural powers, and transformation and spiritual power recovery.

True Form Absolute Prohibition, prohibiting Zhuzhou's powerful body and all kinds of strange supernatural powers.

At this moment, Nan Zhengkai, who has long been prepared, immediately erupts with all his strength.

On the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler, the crimson patterns flash, and a line of fire immediately erupts behind Nan Zhengkai, propelling him to break through the atmosphere at thousands of times the speed of sound. With one step, he crosses the heaven and earth, arrives at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and steps to Su Zhou's side.

At this moment, Su Zhou is still surprised that he did not transform into Zhuzhou's true form, and the Great Zhou Heavenly Armor (大周天岚甲) and the lightning electromagnetic shield surrounding him have all dissipated, without any defense.

Although two divine objects gifted by 'Heavenly Lords' (天君), second only to the God Emperor (神帝) and surpassing ordinary Star Lords (星君), were used in an instant, for some reason, Nan Zhengkai instinctively knows in his heart that if he does not use all his strength at this moment, hesitating for even a moment, then defeat will be inevitable.

Only in this way can there be a glimmer of victory.

The divine ruler is swung smoothly. Without hesitation, the man thrusts the ruler out, piercing through Zhuzhou's chest, directly into the youth's body.

Endless firepower erupts, enough to incinerate everything in the world.

But at this moment, Nan Zhengkai does not have the joy of seriously injuring the enemy; on the contrary, he feels a chill.

Because the high-heat firepower erupting from the divine ruler does not have the feedback of burning the other party's heart; on the contrary, a cold and sinister power is pouring back along the divine ruler, causing his right hand to go numb, almost unable to grip the divine ruler!

Boom!

A violent explosion resounds. At the location of Su Zhou's chest, which was pierced by the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler, cyan-purple blood burns, transforming into black and white karmic fire, and his heart is not in front of his chest at this moment; that is just a bait area full of reactive armor. Nan Zhengkai's thrust with the ruler is equivalent to Su Zhou's full-force head-on blow.

Crack, crack, crack. At the chest cavity, Su Zhou's ribs protrude from the flesh and blood, then transform into rocket missiles, conversely hitting Nan Zhengkai's body, blasting the shocked leader away.

Instantly, the rib rockets explode one after another, blasting Nan Zhengkai away, crashing into a small mountain nearly a thousand meters high in Southern Ze Province, directly collapsing it. Dust rises to nearly ten thousand meters in the sky, and gravel splashes, dissipating into the sky.

At this moment, Su Zhou presses his hand on the wound on his chest. He wants to self-heal, but cyan-red brilliance flashes around the wound, and he is temporarily unable to regenerate.

Since that's the case, then he won't self-heal.

If a Transcendent (超凡者) is still afraid of some unimportant wounds, then they are not worthy of being called a Transcendent.

Without speaking, Su Zhou reaches out and directly tears open his flesh and blood that is being burned.

Instantly, countless cyan-purple blood spots and pieces of flesh splash out, then condense spiritual energy in mid-air, transforming into avatars.

Those are smaller Zhuzhou divine birds, only thirty centimeters long, and look somewhat similar in form to the theoretical 'Insect Zhuzhou', with obvious extraterrestrial skeletal designs.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—countless Insect Zhuzhou vibrate their wings, flying towards the mountain peak where Nan Zhengkai fell at high speed. Their bodies contain extremely unstable five-element power, which may erupt at any time.

——Since the transformation of the five elements of heaven and earth is prohibited, then I will transform within my body's small world, and detonate to blow you up.

The first Insect Zhuzhou flies at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per second, colliding with the collapsing mountain, and then, a colorful five-colored sphere of light lights up, transforming into a bowl-shaped light cover about two hundred meters in diameter on the ground.

Inside the light cover, everything is evaporated and dissolved, and the power of thunder and void spreads, enough to penetrate all defensive magic. Even if a True Person is hit, they will feel a headache.

But a vast ruler light shines from the bottom of the mountain; it draws a cyan-red horizontal line from right to left in the sky.

The horizontal stream of light tears the dark clouds, and many Insect Zhuzhou are annihilated along the trajectory of the stream of light, or explode in mid-air, transforming into spherical fireworks sparks.

Nan Zhengkai's figure also reappears on the earth. The armor on his body is leaping with deep-cyan brilliance. The rocket ribs have been shattered, and have not penetrated this layer of defense. The karmic fire on the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler has also been extinguished.

He swings the divine ruler, seemingly wanting to continue to draw a cross from top to bottom, and eliminate all the swarming Insect Zhuzhou, but at this time, Su Zhou's main body has already broken through the sky light and clouds, holding the Blade of Annihilation.

Without azure seeds, without wind assistance, unable to control the raging wind, bone-like structures like vector nozzles appear behind Su Zhou, and blood and spiritual energy are compressed, transforming into a vast torrent of blood qi, propelling the youth to fly.

The sound of wind and thunder erupts. He delivers a strike, or rather, smashes the divine blade down like a hammer, suppressing Nan Zhengkai's divine ruler, which has already lost its momentum.

"Ah!"

Resisting with the ruler horizontally, forced to endure Su Zhou's brute force strike, Nan Zhengkai roars in anger while standing on the earth, but can only transfer the attack he receives into the earth. The surrounding ground immediately surges like the surface of water, even arching, but soon it transforms into a huge, concave pit thousands of meters in diameter and nearly a thousand meters deep. The lower half of the Righteous Sun leader, like a carrot, is submerged deep into the ground.

But the power of the Dao weapon is indeed unbelievable. Even in such a situation, after the aura in Nan Zhengkai's body stabilizes again, an unparalleled force surges out once again, knocking Su Zhou and the Blade of Annihilation away.

But this time, it is just a knock away. Su Zhou quickly adjusts his body in mid-air.

He is preparing to continue flying, using his maneuverability to suppress Nan Zhengkai, forcing him to expose more of his cards, but for some reason, an extremely violent high-heat wave suddenly comes from his front, causing him to stop in his tracks, feeling alarmed.

And a moment later, a strike like a solar flare flies past the area he planned to pass through. The ultra-high temperature of millions of degrees directly burns the surrounding air, generating explosions. A series of plasma and radiation spills out, enough to destroy mountains and ridges.

——Is the power of the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler the power of the sun?

But it doesn't feel quite like it.

Thinking this, Su Zhou initially thought that Nan Zhengkai had predicted his movements—this is not strange, but soon, the youth, who changed direction again, discovered that no matter what direction or place he intended to fly towards, there would be a sudden attack.

Space shakes, and the divine ruler slashes, qi energy crisscrosses, and the ultra-high temperature exceeding the material limit is like a solar flare wherever it passes, and all tangible existences are destroyed.

If Su Zhou had not reacted extremely quickly to dodge the attacks each time, he would probably have been injured.

Lowering his head, Su Zhou looks at Nan Zhengkai, who is standing in the lava, constantly swinging the divine ruler at Su Zhou, launching all kinds of preemptive attacks. He suddenly understands and nods.

——It seems that he probably used a divine object from a certain immortal god that can foresee the future, but because it is not his own supernatural power, it is difficult to predict that he will have a premonition and stop.

Without hesitating, in Su Zhou's eyes, the sun and moon light wheels appear. He uses the power of the Light and Shadow Divine Eyes (光阴神瞳), staring at Nan Zhengkai's figure.

In his gaze, Nan Zhengkai's movements in the next few seconds suddenly stagnate, and then countless afterimages appear as if there is a system error.

At the same time, in Nan Zhengkai's mind, the 'Mirror of Time Flow' (时流之镜) from the 'Cosmic Light Divine Lord' (宙光神君) immediately appears with layers of illusions—foresight and foresight abilities interfere with each other. Su Zhou foresaw that Nan Zhengkai foresaw his foresight, and Nan Zhengkai also foresaw that Su Zhou foresaw that he foresaw his foresight... After such an infinite loop, the two True Persons simultaneously stop their movements.

Drip—Su Zhou closes his eyes, and bloody tears are flowing from the corners of his eyes, while on Nan Zhengkai's body, a small divine mirror shatters into ashes.

"Good opportunity!"

Although he feels heartache at the shattering of the divine object, Nan Zhengkai is also very clear that Zhuzhou has lost his most important observation organs, and this is a good opportunity. He steps on the earth, and the mountains shake. A terrifying energy jet appears from behind him, causing him to instantly transform into a stream of light, crashing towards Su Zhou.

——Small tricks.

Even with his eyes closed, Su Zhou can still perceive everything around him. Eyes are perception organs, that's correct, but the skin, nose, mouth, and ears are all perception organs. The source of the sixth sense, the soul, is naturally no exception.

Even...

Imagination is also.

In Su Zhou's mind, imagination far exceeding ordinary people, and even immortals and gods, begins to be deduced under the 'Power of Innovation' (万世革新之力). In the virtual battlefield, he has calculated the weakest point of defense around him. If someone were to attack from there, then even he would be troubled by it.

However, it would also make him feel excited—because only by directly responding to this weakness can he gain experience, and then innovate and progress.

But the result is disappointing.

Because Nan Zhengkai does not attack from this weakest direction and angle.

He did not find Su Zhou's weakness.

"Sigh."

Opening his eyes, although Su Zhou's eyes are still broken and he cannot see anything, he can still look at Nan Zhengkai, who is slashing with the ruler, and sigh: "Boring person."

"You only know how to use the power of the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler; what about your own cultivation?"

Su Zhou's figure moves. Although he cannot see, he still holds the blade forward, charging towards Nan Zhengkai.

The relative speed between the two exceeds eight hundred kilometers per second. If this place were not the Prison Sea Despair, but any large province with human habitation, just this impact would affect mortals within tens of thousands of miles.

Then, a sonic boom surpassing thunder resounds. Azure-red and scarlet-golden streamers entangle, mutually slashing and thrusting.

Clang, clang, clang, clang—a series of blade-clashing sounds resound. Violent qi energy erupts, even forming a huge spiritual energy vortex in the sky, and the raging airflow surges, emitting a rumbling roar.

And in this series of rapid attacks and defenses, Nan Zhengkai is completely suppressed. He realizes in dismay that almost every attack of his is foreseen by Su Zhou in advance, and the weakest point of every defense of his is found.

Although it is only almost, not really every time, such a premonition represents that his combat method has really been completely seen through by Su Zhou.

Boom!

Lightning, flame, and storm flashes light up. Facing Su Zhou's diagonal blade slash, Nan Zhengkai originally wanted to dodge sideways and then counterattack with the power of the divine ruler, but two materialized particle beam impacts suddenly burst out from Su Zhou's eyes, directly hitting his head.

Although the damage is completely blocked by the 'Geng Metal Star Pleiades Battle Armor', Nan Zhengkai's defensive stance is affected. Although the divine ruler blocked the Blade of Annihilation, he is then stepped on the chest by Su Zhou, and he falls like a bird with broken wings.

Like a meteor falling to the earth, the dust in the air is ignited, the earth shakes again, and horizontal cracks spread.

——Again.

——Again.

At this moment, deep in the earth, Nan Zhengkai's heart is full of anger.

Not because he was slightly bettered by Zhuzhou. Battles are like this, with mutual victories and defeats. If he were to be angry at just losing a move, then everyone should just stop living.

What he feels humiliated and angry about is that he clearly borrowed the power of immortals and gods, sealed Zhuzhou's power of the five elements, sealed Zhuzhou's true form, and even used all kinds of secret treasures to protect himself and assist in battle, and even has a Dao weapon in his hand... Even so, he can only fight Zhuzhou to a standstill, with mutual victories and defeats?

Most of people's anger comes from their own incompetence.

And jealousy of others.

He is angry about this.

"Why... why can you people be so powerful, that even the power of immortals and gods cannot suppress you?"

The shadow of that person appears in his mind, the shadow of the person who defeated himself and seven other peak True Persons, and even the descent of gods and demons, alone.

Nan Zhengkai sees that shadow on Su Zhou at this moment.

He cannot accept this.

"Most of the people in this world are not as strong as you. They cannot resist the gods and demons—why insist on dragging them down with you!?"

"Your path will only drag more people into the abyss!"

Deepest underground, a roar resounds.

Then, the earth trembles!

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, just as Su Zhou is planning to take advantage of the situation to pursue, he suddenly sees that it is as if a pair of invisible giant hands is lifting from deep underground, slowly raising the area where Nan Zhengkai was blasted down earlier. Hundreds of millions of tons of earth and rocks tremble, flying towards mid-air.

Crack! A shattering sound resounds. The bowl-shaped earth that was lifted suddenly shatters into dust when it is halfway up in the air.

And in this sky full of sandstone, earth vein qi (地脉之气) crisscrosses. Countless tiny divine iron fragments are filtered out from the dust, then condense in mid-air into silver-gray metal chunks that are about several tens of centimeters long, but weigh nearly thirty or forty tons.

[Heaven and Earth One Qi Suppressing Origin Golden Chapter] (天地一炁镇元金章).

Unbelievable earth-element primordial qi (土行元气) erupts from this place, even faintly connecting with the earth veins, connecting with the earth veins of the entire Southern Prison Sea and Southern Ze Province.

Having erupted with his most fundamental cultivation method, Nan Zhengkai now holds the divine ruler. At this moment, the divine iron chunks floating in mid-air begin to deform slightly, transforming into teardrop shapes, and then the power of the earth is added to them, and an effect similar to a gravity slingshot appears.

The vectors of the entire earth vein operation are now attached to the hundreds of divine iron pellets by the ability of the 'Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler' to regulate the heaven and earth, and the ability of the Suppressing Origin Golden Chapter to connect with the earth veins.

Then, it is accelerated to 30,000 kilometers per second.

One-tenth the speed of light.

The Tsar Bomba, with a yield of 50 megatons, is already a 20th century toy on Earth. Whether it is a phase-transfer missile or a newly developed antimatter annihilation warhead, it has greater power than it, but the magnificent scene of its test explosion is enough to make anyone's expression change, and the entire Arctic Ocean sees bright flashes.

And the divine iron water droplets blasted out at one-tenth the speed of light have a destructive power one hundred times that of the Tsar Bomba.

That is a yield close to 5 billion tons.

"This guy's natal cultivation is actually earth-element Great Earth Qi?!"

Sensing the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler combined with Nan Zhengkai's suddenly erupted fundamental cultivation method, the two great inheritances combining with each other, instantly exerting an effect greater than ten times one plus one, Su Zhou's expression immediately changes slightly—he can sense that the inheritance in the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler is probably also related to 'mass, earth element, matter'. The reason why it previously showed the effect of high heat, almost like the sun, is likely the key point of its true inheritance: "Is it heavy nuclear fusion? No, there should be other parts."

If there were dozens of similar True Persons, they would probably be able to push a planet into wandering.

Coincidentally, it can also mislead others, making them think that Nan Zhengkai is a fire cultivator.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

The divine iron, flying at one-tenth the speed of light, has transformed into a high-heat metal gas cloud. The various colors radiated by the burning heavy metals are like a rainbow, and the power in the rainbow is enough to destroy a small country, but this rainbow is flying towards Su Zhou like a storm.

Even Su Zhou does not dare to take these attacks head-on. He holds the Blade of Annihilation, then decisively turns around and runs away to dodge—it's not that he can't receive them, but Nan Zhengkai's burst of attacks will definitely exhaust his own power. Since that's the case, why bother to block them head-on?

But even so, the speed of the rainbow light is still too fast. After dodging a few, Su Zhou's left hand is still hit by a hypersonic metal gas cloud. The terrestrial immortal body (地仙之躯), which may not be damaged too much even by nuclear bombings, is actually completely destroyed and evaporated into nothingness in an instant.

However, after enduring this attack, Su Zhou's figure, except for rapidly shaking for a moment at the beginning, immediately becomes stable.

And next, facing those that only fly and create a plasma cloud stretching thousands of kilometers in the sky, the youth can already see through all their trajectories, and then dodge them one by one with the smallest movements.

He uses spiritual energy to create offset shields, sidesteps to avoid the light stream, and uses incredibly precise prediction steps to dodge attacks with tricky angles.

For a time, except for the first beam of divine iron particles that hit Su Zhou, all other attacks are dodged by him.

Taking an arm as tuition, he has figured out Nan Zhengkai's attack pattern.

——Not simple, but not complicated.

The divine iron light stream is exhausted, transforming into fireworks of stars that explode in succession tens of thousands of miles away, dazzling and moving, but it does not hit its target.

Seeing this scene, on the earth, the eyes of the Righteous Sun leader, whose spiritual power is almost exhausted, are stunned.

He never imagined that his full-force attack could only injure one of the other party's arms.

This is also why he only used the power of the Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler to deal with the enemy before... Nan Zhengkai's cultivation method is the world-suppressing method, which originally only had all kinds of powerful war and world-destroying techniques, suitable for destroying countries or even provinces, rather than single combat. Using it casually will only make his spiritual energy exhausted.

"No wonder Nan Zhengkai can use the Wasteland Shattering Earth Array (荒天裂土大阵) to shatter the earth veins of two provinces. His attack of guiding the power of the earth veins is truly almost invincible in the Heavenly Essence Mortal Realm (天元凡界), where the power of the earth veins is incomparably powerful!"

Stopping the bleeding on his left arm, Su Zhou, who is slowly regenerating, also looks thoughtfully at Nan Zhengkai: "Ming Zhengde's earth vein technique was learned from him, right? No wonder I feel it looks a bit familiar; isn't this the 'Five Virtues Responding to Heaven Bearing Qi' (五德应天承炁), this series of great array methods connecting the earth veins of the provinces?"

"It seems that in the past rebirth, Ming Zhengde did indeed work under Nan Zhengkai, and even learned his fundamental cultivation method, and transformed it for his own use."

At this moment, Su Zhou also does not want to rashly approach Nan Zhengkai. Although the other party looks like his spiritual power is almost exhausted at this time, it is ridiculous to believe that a terrestrial immortal, a True Person, would really expend all their power for a full-force strike, especially someone like Nan Zhengkai. Who knows how many cards he has?

So, just as his left arm is still regenerating, Su Zhou suddenly raises his right hand.

Then, his right arm falls off. It tightly grips the Blade of Annihilation, holds the blade vertically, and transforms into a straight line.

Then, at the incision of the arm and shoulder, an extremely bright cyan-purple jet appears—in the next instant, the Rocket Flying Hand (火箭飞手) charges towards the seemingly powerless Nan Zhengkai, holding the divine blade, in the violently rising spiritual energy shock!

"What is this?! Sword Control Technique (御剑术)?"

——But the Sword Control Technique should only control the sword; what's the point of adding a hand?!

Seeing this, even Nan Zhengkai is greatly surprised, but precisely because he doesn't understand what's going on, he needs to be cautious.

Immediately, with a thought from the Righteous Sun leader, solid rock and metal walls suddenly rise from the ground, completely enveloping his figure. However, the rocket arm waves the divine blade and slashes, and the Blade of Annihilation easily shatters these earth-element protective walls. If it were an ordinary True Person, they would probably have already been cut in two.

However, after shattering nineteen layers of shields, Nan Zhengkai, who was hiding behind, has disappeared.

"The Zhuzhou divine bird must have already reached the realm of gods and demons!"

At this moment, hidden underground, Nan Zhengkai takes out a jade bottle while flying underground.

He pours out a jade-like, warm divine pill with shimmering water patterns from the jade bottle and swallows it.

Instantly, the 'Cloud Flow Nine Pattern Golden Pill' (云流九纹金丹) is digested, and his originally depleted spiritual power begins to replenish and recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
