Chapter 806 Creation of the World

The two worlds collided violently, and the colorful glow and golden light that enveloped the human world vanished instantly, revealing the pale green essence of the grotto. Pale green is generally not worthy of being called a grotto; it can only be considered a blessed land.

This change instantly shocked the Mirage Demon Clan and also caused the will of the high and mighty immortals to waver. A new celestial realm, radiant with colorful light and golden glow, appeared in the Immortal Heaven and rushed at full speed towards a battlefield where fierce fighting had been raging for some time.

On that battlefield, a celestial being from the Yan Shi realm fought against seven opponents, dimming the light of one gold, one silver, and three blue warriors. Now, suddenly, a helper appeared, instantly causing panic among the enemy. A deep blue celestial being broke away from the battle and began to flee. In this escape, it abandoned all the land and warriors in the connecting area.

Both the Left Wise King and the Junior Grand Preceptor were greatly alarmed, but they had no more cards to play. The untouched grotto-heavens were all severely damaged and were still undergoing emergency repairs. Even if they were to send out their forces, they would be no match for Yan Shi's grotto-heavens, which had been recuperating for so long.

In an instant, the will of the Left Wise King descended, and he said to the mirage demon with pure white hair: "You have thirty breaths to repel the enemy, and then go to the rescue immediately!"

Then, all the Northern Liao Cave Heavens surrounding Wei Yuan turned and flew towards the distant battlefield.

Undercurrents surged within the Celestial Realm. The immortals had already made their move. The Left Wise King and the Junior Grand Preceptor both roared in anger, realizing that Yan Shi had used the Time Technique. Nothing was apparent within the Celestial Realm, but in certain battlefields, the flow of time would suddenly accelerate; a day outside was equivalent to several years inside.

Wei Yuan was unaware of what was happening in the Immortal Heaven, his eyes fixed intently on the ever-growing green patch in the sky. Endless seawater began to surge, forming a curtain of water that swept towards the green patch in the air, completely defying common sense.

Wei Yuan, whose divine sense was distributed in that area, clearly perceived the changes in heaven and earth. The top and bottom were reversed, gravity began to distort, and the two worlds were merging into one. At the connection point, the great Dao of heaven and earth began to merge.

From a holistic perspective, that area of ​​the world appears completely distorted, but if you stand there and only have human vision, the world still feels flat, except that the waves on the sea are a bit bigger.

In the Star Forest, a simple, ancient axe floated before a mirage with long, pure white hair. Beside her, a younger mirage said, "Grandma, why only use eighty formations? They're just bait. Why don't we just set up one hundred and twenty formations and cleave them in two with one axe?"

The white-haired mirage demon said, "What is illusory is made real, and what is real is made illusory. If the other side is the real main force, there will be no turning back once I strike with this axe."

"How can this be?"

"The immortal on the other side is incredibly skilled; he can disguise light green as rainbow gold. Why can't he disguise rainbow gold as light green?"

At this moment, the connection between the two worlds had reached its final stage, and the light spots had spread to most of the sky. Looking at the shadow that resembled an inverted heaven and earth, many mirage demons turned pale. One mirage demon suddenly exclaimed, "The Light Green Cave Heaven... it's this big?!"

Before the words were even finished, the sky seemed to open like a grand stage curtain, and in an instant, endless water poured down from the heavens!

The roar overwhelmed everything, and not a sound could be heard anymore.

The white-haired mirage demon, having witnessed countless cataclysmic events, remained unmoved and first hurled its small axe. Then, a torrent of water descended, engulfing the entire mountain!
Amidst the everyday hustle and bustle, the sea surface unexpectedly sank slightly, a fact that surprised even Wei Yuan, who was astonished by the sheer vastness of the other world. Then, the sea, stretching to the sky, suddenly parted, and a colossal axe, a thousand feet long, descended with boundless power!
This axe blow will cleave even the central city in two!

Wei Yuan was shocked. He was experiencing the immortals' killing techniques for the first time. How could they be so terrifying? He had no time to think. With a tremor of his hand, he threw the Xuanhuang Bell out, and the light of the two hundred and fifty-six arrays on the ground dimmed simultaneously.

The Xuanhuang Bell flew larger and larger, but when it brushed past the Heaven-Opening Axe, it was only a few dozen feet in size, only causing the Heaven-Opening Axe to deflect slightly. Wei Yuan felt a chill run down his spine at the sight.

Seeing that the Heaven-Opening Axe was unstoppable, all living beings in the mortal world were filled with despair, and Wei Yuan sensed it all.

This axe blow could kill more than half the people in the central city, and the higher their cultivation level, the faster they would die.

But whenever life and death are at stake, Wei Yuan always feels as if he has become a different person. A shiver runs from the deepest part of his body and spreads throughout his entire body in an instant. At this moment, there is no life or death, no fear, nothing at all.

Wei Yuan radiated endless light, gathering the power of the world into himself, instantly transforming into a meteor that crashed heavily into the Heaven-Opening Axe!
The silent tremor spread far and wide, the waves on the sea reached hundreds of feet high, and all living beings collapsed and writhed in agony. This time, cause and effect were reversed, and the weak were the ones who coughed up blood from their mouths and noses and collapsed, unable to get up.

The meteor split in two and then rejoined, while the light of the Heaven-Opening Axe instantly lost seventy percent, leaving only a blurry axe shadow falling towards a corner of the central city.

Lights of varying sizes rose from the central city, a result of the cultivators led by Han Li and Jun Mozhi taking action to resist. However, the Heaven-Opening Axe was formed from the power of a grotto-heaven, and was far beyond the capabilities of a mere Dharma Form to contend with.

Countless magical techniques converged into a torrent, yet it only reduced the power of the Heaven-Opening Axe by one-tenth. Finally, it struck the central city, cleaving a chasm ten feet wide and a hundred feet deep in the earth. Within a dozen feet on both sides, all buildings were destroyed, turning the land into a death trap! With just this one axe strike, tens of thousands of mortals in the central city were killed or wounded.

Wei Yuan's figure had expanded to a height of over a hundred feet when a blood line suddenly appeared between his brows, extending downwards. His body then split along the blood line, almost being cleaved in two by the Heaven-Opening Axe! Fortunately, a last bit of flesh remained connecting them.

Wei Yuan was in excruciating pain, his consciousness almost blank. But he hugged his shoulders, and despite the strong repulsive force from his wounds, he painstakingly pieced his body back together. Then, he opened his still-bleeding mouth and let out a roar that shook the heavens and earth! In an instant, all living beings in the heavens and the earth understood Wei Yuan's will: What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!

Wei Yuan's consciousness was still preoccupied with the distant golden light, which was the Xuanhuang Bell about to cross over into the other world. At this moment, Wei Yuan no longer wanted to be petty or weigh gains and losses. He simply pointed his finger, and millions of green qi transformed into a torrent, flowing into the Xuanhuang Bell.

Within the Star Forest Cave, the raging floodwaters continued to pour down from the highest peak, then surged in all directions. The sheer power of the water was comparable to the so-called world-destroying flood.

The array at the summit shone brightly and steadily, enveloping the entire mountain. Countless mirage demons stared in astonishment at the surging waters flowing through the array.

The destructive power of such a massive flood on the world is unimaginable. If the water continues to rush in like this, the very nature of this celestial realm might change. It might even be demoted in rank.

Before the mirage demons could come up with a countermeasure, a golden light appeared in the water, which in the blink of an eye transformed into a gigantic bell ten thousand feet tall, standing tall between heaven and earth!

All sentient beings, no matter where they are, even if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, have seen that giant bell.

The giant bell trembled, and the heavens and earth distorted. The vast majority of sentient beings lost consciousness before they even heard the bell's sound.

On the summit, countless ice cracks suddenly appeared on the array's light, and then, to the utter horror of the mirage demons, the array shattered!

The white-haired mirage demon's expression finally changed, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "This level of power... he actually broke through?!"

At this moment, the floodwaters poured down, and the white-haired mirage's long hair suddenly grew wildly, reaching a length of a thousand feet in an instant. The strands of hair swept up the surrounding mirages and disappeared.

The torrent of water roared down, shattering the towering peak into pieces.

The exchange between the two was only a fleeting moment. Wei Yuan sensed that the Xuanhuang Bell had been activated, but he didn't know how effective it would be. At this moment, he was in excruciating pain, his body was extremely weak, and the residual force of the Heaven-Opening Axe was still wreaking havoc within him, unwilling to be completely suppressed.

With a thought from Wei Yuan, the mortal world began to tremble, and the two worlds began to separate. The great water that had been sent into the other world was pulled back by the power of the cave, immediately stirring up towering waves on the sea.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan had anticipated this and not only raised the central city but also built a wave-breaking wall in advance. Several waves did not cause much damage to the city, only a few thousand mortals perished.

However, the immense floodwaters rushing into the other world and then rushing back would cause far more damage than a single axe splitting the heavens. After the flood peak, the world would be almost completely barren, and when the flood receded, who knows how much more it would carry back. In any case, Wei Yuan estimated that anything protruding from the ground would likely perish.

Wei Yuan watched as the water column poured into the sea from the sky, and soon many strange things appeared: spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, houses and furniture, and... countless mirages!

Wei Yuan's heart tightened. As expected of the Golden Cave Heaven, it was indeed powerful, even able to attack with the current! Wei Yuan immediately ordered the warriors to board the ships. Fleets, blessed by the immortal plants, sailed out of the port, waiting for the storm to calm down and the two cave heavens to be completely separated before they would fight their opponents to the death at sea!
As the two grotto-heavens began to separate, Wei Yuan looked at the countless debris swept back by the flood and suddenly felt that this method was not bad. It was extremely efficient and had the effect of scraping the ground three feet deep. If only the mirage demon army hadn't followed...

However, Wei Yuan immediately sensed something was amiss. Only a small portion of the mirage demon army was able to move freely; the majority were adrift in the sea, seemingly unconscious. Moreover, the two sides were separating and would be completely gone in about half an incense stick's time. Did these hundreds of thousands of mirage demons intend to remain in the human world?

At this moment, the girl Yin Yang appeared beside Wei Yuan, holding a piece of Phoenix Blood Moss in her hand, and offered it to Wei Yuan's lips. Wei Yuan was greatly surprised; judging by the size of this Phoenix Blood Moss, it was actually half the size of the remaining portion! Such a large piece of immortal medicine—to just eat it like this? Wei Yuan absolutely couldn't bear to waste it. This was the main ingredient of the Longevity Pill!

Wei Yuan felt that his injuries were minor and could heal on their own, so there was no need to waste such a precious medicine. He refused to take it no matter what.

As a result, the girl rubbed her Yin-Yang hands together, turning the Phoenix Blood Moss into powder, which then ignited into a bright red and golden phoenix fire. The girl's Yin-Yang eyes shone brightly, and the Yin-Yang energy directly imprisoned Wei Yuan in place. Then she evenly applied the phoenix fire to Wei Yuan's wounds.

The Heaven-Opening Axe, still ravaged by wounds, was far inferior in rank to the Ancient Phoenix Blood, and Wei Yuan's injuries healed rapidly. However, the ferocity that only appeared in life-or-death situations had subsided, so although Wei Yuan's physical wounds had healed, his heart began to bleed.

The only consolation is that Wei Yuan's lifespan has increased by more than ten years.

At this moment, the water column in the sky dissipated, and the two grotto-heavens completely separated. Wei Yuan immediately manipulated the human fireworks to escape back. Seven or eight blue and green grotto-heavens were already rushing over at full speed, determined to leave this light green fellow behind.

Just then, a powerful aura surged from the sea, and a Mirage Demon flew out of the water. Wei Yuan was greatly surprised and hurriedly mobilized the power of heaven and earth to press her back into the sea.
