From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

"Um?!"

Although the back of the Creation Daoist's head was completely shattered, he was no longer in a physical body and had extremely profound cultivation as a foundation, so he did not die on the spot and even had the strength to fight back.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, as if holding a lotus flower, and pushed it out with unparalleled speed towards Xu Xing.

His ten fingers twitched incessantly, like lotus leaves blooming. Within just the smallest, imperceptible unit of cosmic light, boundless power surged forth, forcefully tearing apart Xu Xing's fist intent.

Xu Xing's blue Taoist robe billowed backward, revealing a noticeable indentation in his chest, emitting a series of magnificent and powerful sounds that could even shake the long river of time and echo through endless space and time.

Even with such a blow, the Daoist of Creation still failed to break his body. The ten dents suddenly lost their fleshy texture and became crystal clear.

Inside, the stars shine brightly, and there are even more powerful deities guarding the eight directions, embodying the way of heaven and controlling the universe, like a divine pillar reaching the sky, standing firm and unshak no matter how the tides come from all directions.

Xu Xing's body trembled again, his waist and hips rising and falling, his hands grabbing the Creation Daoist's shoulders on either side, and then with a sudden burst of strength, he tore this supreme powerhouse who had dominated the ages apart in the most savage, bloody, yet exhilaratingly cruel way!

The body of the Daoist of Creation was split in two, but no flesh or blood structure was visible. Instead, it resembled a glass statue, which Xu Xing casually tossed aside.

Even in such a state, this ancient giant did not die. He simply stamped his foot and brought the "Ark of Creation" with him, completely merging with it and becoming one with it.

In that instant, the aura of the Creation Daoist rose again, and even the countless worlds that had just merged into the Cosmic Light Amber and been shattered by Xu Xing's punch reappeared and formed the shape of a multi-story ship.

This towering ship has nineteen stories high, shaped like a pyramid, but each story contains an infinite universe, inhabited by countless sentient beings, and its power is beyond description.

The "Boat of Creation" already embodies the "Taoist of Creation's" thoughts on how to cross the sea of ​​suffering, and is also a rare attempt. Now that it has been combined with the "Boat of Creation," it is like adding wings to a tiger.

In his current state, he could even defeat an immortal god-king who was favored by heaven and whose aura could rise infinitely. One can imagine how terrifying this power was.

However, such peak combat power was ultimately just a fleeting moment, and the Daoist of Creation dared not waste it in the slightest.

Instead of trying to get closer to Xu Xing, he took a step forward, and the "Creation Ship" above his head, formed from his life's cultivation and experience, crashed straight into him!
"Hahaha!"

Xu Xing laughed loudly, raised his fist, and strode forward with the aura of a dragon and the tiger, dominating the universe. His Yang spirit and his body, which had shattered the vacuum, were closely combined, and his true power filled the air, forming an unprecedentedly strong force.

"Creation Daoist, what you seek is the ultimate power of this era, to subdue all calamities and overcome all difficulties with supreme power, to cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore. Then I will show you what true power is all about!"

The Creator Daoist also laughed loudly:
"In this world, everything is an illusion; only power is the eternal foundation. Let's see who is closer to that limit, you or me!"

Although the Creator Daoist initially intended to join forces with Xu Xing to knock the Longevity Emperor off the Golden Bridge and add another variable to the world, now that the battle has progressed to this point, he has also become interested in truly testing what he has learned throughout his life with Xu Xing.

The Creation Daoist was even more eager to see just how powerful this visitor from outer space truly was!
The moment the two had a thought, their fists, exceeding the speed limit of the material universe, crossed in mid-air and slammed into the two powerful figures. They remained unmoved, enduring the blows with their own physical strength.

The Daoist of Creation closed his eyes for a moment before suddenly opening them, his eyes filled with an unprecedentedly clear and bright light.

His body gradually shattered, revealing cracks that oozed glistening blood, drifting on the river of time.

These blood vessels were incredibly bright and dazzling, billions of times brighter than the sun and stars in the outer galaxy. This was the very essence that made up this physical body.

The physical body of the Creator Daoist was crafted from the primordial seed that existed at the very beginning of the universe, enough to give birth to a world. It is a supreme and incomparably precious treasure in the world.

Ancient gods and demons, such as the Immortal God King, were born from these seeds of origin, which is why they possessed various unique talents, mastered fundamental laws, and even became the embodiment of the Great Dao.

However, compared to the "Origin True Qi" overflowing from the "Origin Seed," the "Creation Boat," as the central core, is far more precious; it is the true vessel that carries the Dao.

The Daoist of Creation looked at Xu Xing, his gaze devoid of resentment, his face bearing a relieved smile, and said with a sigh:

"Indeed, you are the greatest variable of this era. Good, that's a good thing! In that case, I will transfer all my cultivation to you. Let's see how far you can go!"

Once the Daoist of Creation had finished speaking, he was about to self-destruct his physical body and soul, transforming them into the purest primordial true energy, which would then merge into Xu Xing's body.

But at that moment, "Tai," who had been standing by and watching, appeared behind "Creation Daoist," pushed forward with his right hand, and brought down a palm strike.

This seemingly ordinary strike, much like the Creator's creation of the "Lake of Time," stirred the long river of time, causing a series of ripples and triggering a continuous chain of subsequent changes.

Xu Xing frowned. Despite still bearing the injuries left by the Daoist of Creation, he took a step forward and rushed into the River of Time, striking out with a palm to clash head-on with "Tai".

In this encounter, since "Tai" has confused the flow of the river of time and made full use of the "water force" to go downstream, it is naturally the general trend and unstoppable.

Xu Xing, however, went against the tide, making a difficult journey and adding three more obstacles to his path.

Therefore, after the two collided head-on, "Tai" only drifted "about a hundred miles" on the river surface, while Xu Xing stepped into the long river, his whole body trembling as he was washed by the passage of time.

However, he ultimately seized the Ship of Creation with his superior fist technique. Although "Tai" had the upper hand, he only managed to take away five crystal-clear Seeds of Origin.

Xu Xing seemed to have anticipated that "Tai" would make a move, and smiled:

"Brother Dao, you finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

He had long seen that "Tai" was on the path of merging with the Dao. Before taking the final step and truly transcending, it was in a relationship of shared prosperity and shared loss with this universe.

For this reason, the patriarch's position is naturally opposed to that of all the supreme powerhouses in this world who aspire to reach the other shore.

This is why "Tai" invited Xu Xing to seize Hong Yi's fortune and defeat the Longevity Emperor.

However, although Xu Xing was a visitor from outer space, he should not have been within the scope of "Tai's" attention, which is why they were still able to address each other as fellow Daoists.

However, after shedding the identity of fellow Daoist, Xu Xing's relationship with "Tai" is quite complicated, because his conflict with the will of this world has only been eased rather than completely resolved.

In Tai's view, the best way to deal with Xu Xing is to make him as strong as possible during this buffer period, strong enough to defeat the Longevity Emperor, and then expel him from the country in one fell swoop.

However, "Tai" cannot tolerate Xu Xing becoming too strong, because this would not only shorten the "buffer period" but also bring unpredictable changes to this world.

"Tai" looked at Xu Xing and said calmly:
"Heaven creates all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay heaven. Such supreme powerhouses as the Creation Daoist are unparalleled thieves in the world."

"However, he has no chance to transcend to the other shore. No matter how powerful he is, he will return to dust and ashes. But this gift does not belong to you, fellow Daoist. It must remain in this world."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing simply took a step forward and calmly said:
“I could have chosen this item or not, but since you’ve said so, I must take it today.” Xu Xing was not the kind of person who was arrogant and self-willed, nor was he lacking in tolerance. However, the actions of “Tai” since its appearance had aroused his strong aversion.

This time, unlike his confirmation with the Daoist of Creation, Xu Xing was truly aiming to completely destroy the existence of "Tai".

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Xu Xing had already transformed into billions of beings, his figure covering the entire world and spreading across all the heavens. These billions of Xu Xings all attacked at the same time, as if they were about to completely annihilate "Tai" with just the first strike.

"Tai" swayed, but did not summon the Eternal Kingdom. Instead, he resisted with his own Taoist arts and martial arts.

His every move is unlike the unpredictable and magnificent style of the Daoist of Creation; it can only be described as returning to simplicity and achieving perfect harmony, having completely touched the upper limit of this universe.

Even though Xu Xing's boxing technique was exquisite and his boxing intent was powerful and magnificent, capable of accumulating layer upon layer and continuously rising, he still could not defeat "Tai" in the first instance.

The two figures intertwined, flashing continuously in the long river of time, their aftershocks stretching across the ages, beginning to influence those beings in the vast torrent of history who had not yet cultivated into Yang Gods.

"Tai" uses its exquisite mastery of the river of time to constantly influence the river's "water level," "flow direction," and "flow speed," thereby creating a home-field advantage. It can then defend against Xu Xing's relentless bombardment from a "high vantage point," and even find a way to retaliate.

However, Xu Xing also gradually learned the "Tai" fighting style during this process, and became more and more adept at this method of relying on the long river of time, borrowing force to fight force, and turning force to eliminate force.

Three hundred years ago, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was sitting on the throne of Avici Hell, meditating with his eyes closed, trying to comprehend profound mysteries. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a ripple spread through the empty space of the small room.

In the ensuing battle, the Great Zhou Emperor was severely wounded and on the verge of death. He had no choice but to go into seclusion to repair his soul, leaving him unable to deal with the powerful families. This incident foreshadowed the Great Zhou Dynasty's eventual demise after only two generations.

Eight hundred years ago, during the great war between good and evil, the Seven Sons of the Righteous Path were fighting a bloody battle against the evil demons in the Nine Abyss Divine Realm when suddenly a dazzling light descended from the dome, covering the entire realm and reaching everywhere.

Both sides, locked in a fierce battle, felt a deep-seated sense of crisis. In a moment of inspiration, they decided to join forces to resist this crisis that had descended from the sky.

Besides these, there are many more: a thousand years ago, three thousand years ago, six thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago...

Throughout history, key figures etched in the annals of history have all been affected by the aftershocks of the clash between the two supreme beings, thus altering the course of their lives.

At this moment, the so-called "humanitarian trend" was no longer just empty words, but a real force held in the hands of the two supreme beings.

This kind of confrontation is far more mysterious and dangerous than the clash between Xu Xing and the Daoist of Creation. It is not a contest of pure strength, but of the mastery of fundamental laws and the understanding of the universe.

In reality, the turbulent flow of time is merely a superficial phenomenon, or perhaps just the aftershocks and ripples caused by the clash between the two.

What they are truly vying for is the fundamental laws of this world. The competition is about who can expand their influence to more levels of these laws in the shortest amount of time without becoming completely trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

After another clash, "Tai," who had been steadily and cautiously advancing step by step, had perhaps gathered enough intelligence and finally made its first move to turn the tide and was no longer willing to fall into a passive position.

“Brother Dao, since you cannot defeat Brother Changsheng, you naturally cannot defeat me either.”

With a flick of its sleeve, "Tai" disrupted the "laws of creation" that define the form of matter and determine the nature of all things, bringing them to the brink of collapse, as if reenacting the beginning of the world and the re-refinement of the realm of earth, water, fire, and wind.

In fact, Xu Xing was already familiar with this kind of scene in the previous world. However, what "Tai" did was not to defeat it with pure force, but to exert force at the level of laws, using minimal force to achieve maximum effect, and even causing the "Law of Creation" to reverse.

Starting with the Four Symbols and Five Elements, all the transformations of mutual generation and restraint that cultivators are familiar with and take as the foundation of their cultivation are shattered at this moment. If this were in the previous world, this alone would have been enough to shake the foundation of a high-level emperor's cultivation.

Although Xu Xing had long since integrated all kinds of great power into himself through the method of opening up the universe, and was completely unaffected by this offensive, he still felt that the rejection of this world against him was intensifying.

Even if he uses his Yang spirit to reconcile this conflict, it will consume ten or even dozens of times more divine thought than before. Clearly, this is the strategic intention of "Tai".

This Supreme Dao Patriarch had no desire to win or lose. After realizing that he could not control Xu Xing, he made a decisive decision to use the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world to expel him.

Even in the midst of battle, Xu Xing couldn't help but sigh that compared to "Tai," a Daoist who had achieved enlightenment and merged with the Dao, the Immortal God King, who was the son of the Great Dao, was like a mentally challenged child with well-developed limbs but a lack of intelligence.

However, although this method is profound and mysterious, the "Law of Creation" is, after all, one of the most fundamental laws of this world. To rashly reverse it is tantamount to overstepping one's bounds and will immediately bring backlash.

Suddenly, the Taoist's body was covered with cracks and fissures, and the emptiness and detachment in his eyes became even more intense. This was a sign that he had taken another big step on the path of "merging with the Tao" and was getting closer to the Tao.

According to the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", every strong person who embarks on the path of "harmonizing with the Dao" must work hard on the four words "mutual struggle between heaven and man" until the final transcendence.

"Heavenly Law" and "Human Law" are a pair of contradictions that are both opposed and identical. If a cultivator wants to have great supernatural powers and great achievements, he must approach "Heavenly Law". However, once he reaches a certain level, he must start to strive for independence.

The two sides fought and compromised constantly, seemingly united yet separated. At times, cultivators had to distance themselves from heaven and earth as much as possible, and at other times, they had to shake them off as much as possible. Those who cultivated more deeply used this relationship to distort the true nature of heaven and earth as much as possible.

Although "Tai" was a self-taught practitioner of Zen, he had deeply comprehended this principle during his 100,000 years of cultivation and had engraved the instinct of "mutual struggle between heaven and man" into his very bones. His actions were always governed by certain rules and strict regulations.

However, Xu Xing had already studied such methods and had a way to deal with them, so he was not flustered. He simply exhaled and let out a whistling sound, spreading his fist intent, and threw a punch into the air.

His strike was not aimed at "Tai," which was hidden in the long river of time and had vaguely merged with those historical figures. Instead, he struck upwards, punching through the end of the "Golden Bridge of the Other Shore," even past the head of the Eternal Emperor, and hitting some unknown and ethereal place!
This is the source of the Great Dao, which is what cultivators call the Heavenly Dao!

In addition to the Revolutionary Fist, his punch also contained the overwhelming force that shattered the vacuum, destroying all things in the world, making him the only one to witness the true power and dominance.

In the long river of time, "Tai" was like a fish in water, but suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure coming from all directions, forcing him to withdraw from this wonderful state of "being in harmony with the Tao".

In Tai's usually calm and collected state of mind, a rare look of surprise appeared. He looked up in astonishment and saw a powerful "Tian" character suddenly appear on the golden bridge on the other side!

In that instant, Xu Xing used his fist intent to suppress the entire operation of the Heavenly Dao in this world, and also manifested his own universe, truly daring to change the world!

This was an insight he gained from the final punch of the Immortal God King, combined with his experience in operating the universe's creation mechanism at the Yang God realm, which led him to create this technique on the spot.

The reliance of "Tai" was originally the realm of "Harmony with the Dao". Now that Xu Xing has taken a decisive step, even the fundamental foundation of the Dao is showing signs of wavering and instability. Naturally, it can no longer care about anything else.

He couldn't understand why Xu Xing dared to act so arrogantly—wasn't this person afraid of being expelled?

Beneath the character “天” (heaven), Xu Xing took a step forward, arriving at the middle of the river of time. With a swift movement of his right hand, he grabbed “太” (Tai) by the neck and lifted this Supreme Dao Patriarch out with one hand.

He looked directly into "Tai's" eyes and said with great interest:

"The battle was fierce just now, and I didn't hear what you said clearly. Now that we are facing each other, why don't we repeat it again?"

At the same time, another incredibly weathered voice rang out from the golden bridge on the other side:
"Fellow Daoist, your methods are excellent." (End of Chapter)
