This is so dishonest!

Chapter 441 Wangshu VS Houtu; The Holy Heavenly Emperor Possesses Himself to Fight [Two chapters combined, 6k words]

"This bizarre thing must be eliminated!"

At the heart of the battlefield, Houtu silently retrieved her golden longbow and nodded in another direction.

"Well done."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Houtu." Hou Yi had a resolute face, with a straight nose, a somewhat hard mouth, and bright, piercing eyes.

His bronze muscles exuded explosive power. He carried a quiver on his back, held a longbow in his hand, and his thick hair rippled like ocean waves.

This is a powerful shaman who exudes masculine energy from head to toe.

He was also a great shaman who was good at seizing opportunities!

With Houtu, the ancestral witch, shooting down nine suns, Houyi continued to disappear into the void, waiting for the next opportunity to appear.

Near the Sun.

After defeating Bai Ze and his group once again, Di Jiang finally lost his patience.

He used his divine sense to issue an urgent command to his brothers on another battlefield.

"Jiuyin, stop wasting time over there, go help Xingtian and the others!"

"Break that broken bell at all costs!"

"okay!"

Zhu Jiuyin, the Time Ancestral Witch who was fighting with equal frustration in front of the Taiyin Star defense line, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.

What is he feeling frustrated about?

There is no other reason.

The pressure of attacking Taiyin Star is no less than that of besieging Taiyi.

The two moon goddesses who wield the power of the moon are quite terrifying.

Wangshu, with its radiant moon form, suppressed a corner of the river of time and space, sealing off all timelines of the past, present, and future of the Taiyin star.

This effectively blocked all of Zhu Jiuyin's methods of using the power of time to launch sneak attacks, travel through time, and assassinate!
Chang Xi was no less impressive.

Holding the Hetu diagram, she could mobilize the endless starlight of the heavens, condensing it into countless star swords.

And using its own power of time as a guide, it precisely cuts into any point in the river of time.

No matter how Zhu Jiuyin hides, he can be accurately located.

It can be said that the two goddesses' cooperation was a perfect combination of offense and defense, unmatched by any other!

After fighting for so long, he still couldn't find the real entrance to the Taiyin Star!

Zhu Jiuyin estimated that even if he risked serious injury to force his way into Taiyin Star, he would not only fail to break through the array's core, but might also be completely trapped and killed by these two well-coordinated Moon Goddesses.

Now, Dijiang told him to change battlefields and deal with the Chaos Bell, which also wields the power of "time and space," which relieved him.

Zhu Jiuyin immediately used his divine sense to transmit a message to the rear:
"Jumang, Houtu! I'm leaving Taiyin Star to you. Give it your all!"

"it is good!"

The two ancestral witches, who had been sitting in the center and controlling the entire witch clan's battle formation, immediately agreed and took over the battlefield.

Since [Wood Ancestral Witch] Jumang had his "center position" in the duel against Fuxi stolen by [Xizi] Xuanqing and [Qiangliang] Minghe, he has been playing the supporting role of "super healer" in the back.

The Chaos Bell can continuously "rewind" the timelines of the gods in Heaven.

He used his boundless life force to continuously provide group healing for the wounded Wu Clan warriors on the battlefield, frantically "recovering health" for the entire Wu Clan camp.

The two sides are actually engaging in a contest of "logistics" and "endurance" in an unconventional way.

"Jumang, I'll take the lead in the attack; you can do whatever you want!"

Houtu's heroic figure appeared before Taiyin Star.

Without uttering a single word, she gestured with her right hand towards the void.

A golden longbow, formed from the boundless earth's rich energy, appeared in her hand.

"Okay!"

A radiant expression appeared on Jumang's face, which always wore a gentle smile.

I love slacking off the most.

Having said that, he waved his hand and unleashed endless light of life, which transformed into a halo of light that hovered behind Houtu.

With the support of the strongest assistant, Houtu has no more worries.

She stood in the void.

Bend the bow and nock the arrow.

"An arrow falls from the ninth heaven, like the moon!"

She released the bowstring.

The golden arrow made no sound, yet it shot towards the bright moon that suppressed the infinite timelines with an unstoppable and resolute attitude!

boom! ! !
There was a loud bang.

That great Dharma response, powerful enough to freeze the entire river of time, shattered in an instant!

Endless, suppressed fragments of time, like a flood bursting its banks, surged forth wildly in all directions!

The moon trembled violently!
Beneath the enormous cassia tree in the Moon Palace.

Wang Shu, who had been sitting still, slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were completely still, as calm as an ancient, icy pool.

"Xi, you stay here."

"I'll go meet her."

Wang Shu's figure emerged from the Moon Palace.

With one step, he stepped out of the Moon Star.

In her hand, a cold, clear longsword formed from pure moonlight appeared out of nowhere.

The two goddesses faced each other from afar.

The entire battlefield seemed to become a backdrop for the two of them at this moment.

"You are very strong."

Wang Shu spoke.

Her voice was as cold and emotionless as the sword in her hand.

"But you shouldn't disturb my peace and quiet."

"This land is sick."

Houtu's voice was gentle yet full of power.

"We are simply undergoing painful but necessary reforms for this land."

"Treatment for poisoning?"

A barely perceptible hint of mockery flashed in Wang Shu's eyes.

"In my opinion, you all have serious illnesses."

After saying that, she said no more.

She gently slashed forward with the moonlight sword in her hand.

There was no earth-shattering sword energy, no world-destroying power.

She simply left a faint, silvery-white sword mark in the void in front of her.

However, it was this sword mark that gave Jumang, the "nanny" in the rear, a jolt of energy.

This sword severs the "past"!
It forcibly reverted the "connection" state between Houtu and Jumang to the point in time before the battle began when they were "not connected"!
"boom!!"

If the bright moon's divine form had been as it was just moments before, the Wheel of Life behind Houtu would have shattered instantly.

"You fall from my moon, I will take your life!" Wang Shu's voice was as cold as the wind.

Hou Tu smiled gently.

"Great virtue carries all things; the earth's energy stabilizes the world!"

An endless array of earthly laws, appearing thick and earthy yellow, surged into the sky from beneath her feet!

They are no longer invisible energy, but have transformed into billions of thick, powerful chains of the Great Dao, each engraved with totems of mountains and rivers!
These divine chains, like giant, living pythons, soar into the sky, intertwining, entwining, and linking together!
Ultimately, a truly stable divine kingdom of the earth, filled with the true meaning of "now" and "existence," was built around Houtu!

Within this divine kingdom, every inch of space is filled and suppressed by the Earth God Chain, forming an absolute domain that belongs only to the "now" point in time!

No matter how you try to sever my "past" or manipulate my "future".

As long as this divine kingdom of "now" on which I stand is eternal and indestructible, I am impervious to all laws!
"Oh?"

Looking at the earthen-yellow dragon vein filled with the power of "existence," Wang Shu's unchanging, icy eyes flashed with genuine interest for the first time.

"Using the 'existence' of 'space' to counteract the 'passage' of 'time'?"

"interesting."

The moon-shine sword in her hand, once again, gently slashed forward.

This time, she's aiming for the "future"!
An invisible sword intent, filled with the meaning of "ending" and "annihilation," instantly transcended the barrier of time and appeared at the next location where Houtu was about to move!
This sword strike predicted the future!
This sword strike will completely nip all of Houtu's potential in the bud!
However, just as that sword intent was about to touch...

The "Earth God Kingdom" where Houtu resided suddenly trembled!
"town!"

Houtu uttered an ancient syllable!

At that moment, the countless intertwined chains of the earth suddenly shrank inward!
With an irrational, pure force, they forcefully squeezed the space within the divine kingdom until it shattered into pieces!
The shattering of space caused the flow of time to become disordered!
The "Sword of the Future," which should have hit its mark, was thus slightly off-target!

It grazed the barrier of the "Earth God Kingdom" and missed!
"Breaking the law with force?"

Wang Shu nodded slightly.

She no longer employs those subtle, targeted attacks based on the laws of the law.

She slowly raised the moonlight sword in her hand.

Then, facing that indestructible "Earth God Kingdom".

One sword strike, and it falls!

"Splash—splash—!"

With this sword strike...

A vast, boundless, turbulent river of time, spanning the past, present, and future, was forcibly summoned from the void by her!
The water churning in that long river is not water.

Rather, it is the endless expanse of time belonging to this universe!
As we can see, countless worlds have been born and destroyed, countless civilizations have risen and fallen, and countless heroic tragedies have all risen and fallen in this long river of history.
In the end, it fell silent!

Wang Shu's sword strike unleashed the supreme power of the entire "River of Time," aiming to completely and fundamentally erase Hou Tu's "Earth God Kingdom," which served as the foundation of the "present," along with the billions of divine chains within it!

"I am very pleased that you have gone all out, fellow Daoist!" Houtu smiled gently.

She clasped her hands together abruptly, and the "Earth Kingdom" composed of billions of earth chains was no longer a mere defense at that moment.

It begins to spin!
Those divine chains, like the most precise gears, drove the entire divine kingdom, transforming it into a gigantic, slowly rotating, earthen-yellow millstone filled with the meaning of "reincarnation" and "cycle"!
On the millstone, the blurry phantoms of the "Six Realms"—heaven, man, asura, hell, hungry ghost, and animal—faintly appeared!

This is Houtu's latest insight into the cycle of reincarnation.

Although it is only a conceptual outline of the Six Realms, it has not yet been implemented in reality!
However, it can withstand the erosion of time.

One represents the "passage of time"!
One represents the "cycle of life"!
Boom - boom - boom - boom -! ! !
The silvery-white river of time collided violently with the earthen-yellow millstone of reincarnation!
At this moment, the entire Taiyin Starfield was completely transformed into a chaotic expanse of laws!

Time loses its meaning here; space vanishes into nothingness.

Life is constantly born here, and constantly eroded by the passage of time.

With each turn of the millstone of reincarnation transformed from Houtu, countless phantoms of sentient beings are born from it. They roar and rush into the river of time, trying to stop its progress!
The river of time stirred up by Wangshu, with each wave containing the power of billions of years, ruthlessly turns the phantoms of those newly born beings into withered bones and dust!

This is the most fundamental showdown between "existence" and "extinction"!
Boom!! The river of time exploded, and endless waters of time poured across the sky, transforming into a waterfall of time.

Wang Shu wore a simple white dress, the hem fluttering without wind, like moonlight pouring down, pure and ethereal.

Holding a celestial sword, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and stood atop the surging waterfall of time.

Fragments of countless years flew at her feet, like an inverted galaxy, yet they failed to touch even a sliver of her skirt.

Is this your path forward?

Wang Shu's gaze was clear and cold, like a cold pool reflecting the moon, quietly watching Hou Tu.

"Yes."

Houtu smiled gently, raising her slender hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. She wore an elegant palace dress, the fabric radiating the aura of the Earth Mother, exuding a gentle yet unyielding majesty.

"This path is still being tested and is not yet mature." She lowered her eyes slightly, her tone gentle yet firm.

"I hastily used this to deal with you, fellow Daoist; please excuse my poor attempt."

"Fellow Daoist is too modest."

Wang Shu's gaze pierced through the hazy river of time and space, as if she could see a moment in the future.

“I think your path will soon be proven.”

"I accept your good words."

Houtu smiled and nodded.

"Well then, the warm-up is over, and I'm going to get serious now," Wang Shu told the other party in advance.

Upon hearing this, Houtu's smile vanished.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc beneath her feet slowly rotated, the two energies of life and death intertwining to form profound Dao patterns; the golden bow in her hand hummed, the arrow not yet nocked, yet it already possessed the power to pierce through the nine netherworlds.

"please!"

"please!"

The lingering echo of the two words had not yet dissipated—

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Shu's figure vanished into thin air.

She used the power of a forbidden Dao Fruit.

The next instant, the entire space-time collapsed with a roar.

A Daoist aura that transcends eternity swept across the eight wastelands.

Houtu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the golden bow in her hand trembled violently uncontrollably.

She was all too familiar with that scent—

"The Holy Heavenly Emperor?!"

Pangu God above, I want to report this! I want to report this!
Someone's cheating!
~~~~
On the other side, the figure of [Time Ancestral Witch] Zhu Jiuyin appeared silently behind [Donghuang] like a shadow.

"Donghuang, your opponent is me."

His voice seemed to come from the distant past, and also from the endless future.

With his arrival, the Chaos Bell, which could have disrupted the entire battlefield at will, was restrained for the first time for its power to reverse spacetime!

With his addition, Xing Tian, ​​Chi You, and the other great shamans who were launching a frontal assault finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord Zhujiuyin, you hold off the Eastern Emperor, we'll go kill the Heavenly Emperor!" The great shamans launched a powerful attack, pressing closer and closer to the Heavenly Emperor.

However, facing the siege of the great shamans, the Heavenly Emperor Taiyi calmly pushed up his imperial crown, and a radiant and majestic deity emerged.

The deity wore a warm, spring-like smile, which instantly inspired feelings of closeness and trust in anyone who saw him.

Behind Him hangs an enormous wheel of merit, made up of countless living beings.

In his left hand, he held an ever-burning golden lamp that could illuminate the deepest darkness in people's hearts.

His right hand holds the mirror of the heavens, which reflects the heavens.

This deity is none other than the benevolent form of Donghuang Taiyi—the [Wealth Immortal]!
"Blessings and blessings are immeasurable."

Upon his appearance, the "Welfare Immortal" bowed respectfully to the murderous Chi You, Hou Yi, and other great shamans who were charging toward him.

He had a smiling face, full of compassion and kindness.

“Great shamans, I see that your foreheads are dark and you are surrounded by evil spirits. I fear that you will suffer a bloody disaster.”

"However, Heaven cherishes life, and I cannot bear to see you all fall into this calamity, never to be redeemed."

"Therefore, I have come here to offer you all a tremendous benefit!"

The words hadn't even finished being spoken.

The Welfare Immortal has moved.

He did not use any offensive supernatural powers, but simply held the Heavenly Mirror in his hand and gently shone it on the warrior Chi You who was charging at the forefront!
"Om-"

A beam of light shot out and instantly enveloped Chi You!
Immediately afterwards, a voice filled with the majesty of Heaven and the implication of "official certification" resounded throughout the entire battlefield!

"According to the Heavenly Dao Mirror: The Great Witch Chi You taught the Great Dao at the Witchcraft Academy and protected many living beings while traveling across the primordial land, thus contributing to the development of the primordial world."

"Therefore, he is hereby awarded the three honorary titles of [Model Worker of the Primordial Era], [Outstanding Preacher], and [Master of the Witchcraft and War]!"

"And reward him with a world-shaking merit of tenfold!"

"As encouragement!"

With this "official announcement" concluded!

In fact, a thick, golden beam of merit descended from the sky!
Without saying a word, the golden light poured directly into Chi You's body!

"puff--"

Chi You, who was brimming with murderous intent and preparing to cleave Taiyi in two with a single strike, was startled by this sudden "merit infusion"!
He felt that his Dao body, composed of endless "warrior's evil energy," was in the most intense and fundamental conflict with this pure "heavenly merit"!

Two completely opposite forces were churning wildly within his body.

He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly became extremely chaotic!
"You...you...poisoned me!!" Chi You was both shocked and furious.

"Fellow Daoist, do not panic."

[Welfare Immortal] still has that same smiling face.

"This is a 'benefit' that you deserve, so why are you alarmed?"

After saying that, he turned the Heavenly Mirror towards Hou Yi, who was hiding in the shadows and launching a sneak attack.

"According to the Heavenly Dao Mirror: The Great Witch Hou Yi taught the Great Dao at the Witchcraft Academy and protected many living beings while traveling across the primordial land, thus contributing to the development of the primordial world!"

"Therefore, he is hereby awarded the three honorary titles of [Primordial Archer], [Guardian of All Beings], and [Most Insidious Great Wizard]!"

"And reward him with a Great Luo Universe-level Heaven-Opening Merit, tenfold!"

"To recognize their achievements!"

boom--

A golden beam of merit, even thicker than before, descended from the sky, pouring into Hou Yi's body like a celestial river flowing backwards!
"Hmph!!" Hou Yi groaned and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"The Heavenly Dao Mirror identifies: Great Witch Julong, Great Witch Xingtian, Great Witch Fengbo, Great Witch Yushi, and Great Witch Leiji."

[The Welfare Immortal] calls out names one by one.

A hint of panic appeared in the eyes of the many great shamans.

That guy is fucking vicious!
Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.

But this guy actually used merit points to attack people?!
"Brothers! Give me a hand!"

In the moment of crisis, Xing Tian let out a deafening roar.

Upon hearing this, all the great shamans who participated in the siege, including Hou Yi, Chi You, Feng Bo, and Yu Shi, immediately placed their hands on their chests without hesitation.

"Pangu's lifeblood!"

"Burn!"

boom--! ! !
Streams of crimson, magma-like blood, brimming with the most primordial and violent power since the beginning of time, were forcibly drawn from their bodies.

This power instantly surged into Xing Tian's body.

"Roar--!!!"

At this moment, Xing Tian's body let out a roar of unbearable pain and exhilaration.

His body swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ancient and powerful Pangu divine runes lit up on his skin!

In that instant, his aura broke through the shackles of cultivation, infinitely approaching the realm of the fifth stage of the Great Luo Realm.

"Open it for me!!!"

Xing Tian poured all the power of the Great Witches, along with his own burning [War God Dao Fruit], into the battle axe in his hand.

Then, he unleashed his most ferocious axe strike at the [Welfare Immortal].

This axe strike was silent and without light.

Only pure, irrational power!

The blessed domain constructed by the [Heavenly Mirror] shattered instantly.

"My utmost deity, Heavenly Venerable!"

[Welfare Immortal] cursed inwardly, wondering just how many tricks these great shamans had up their sleeves, that they even possessed the power of Pangu.

He fought back fiercely, barely managing to block the attack with the power of the Merit Wheel and the Heavenly Dao Mirror.

"You traitors, how dare you be so insolent!"

Having broken free from Zhu Jiuyin's influence, Donghuang slammed his fist into the Chaos Bell beside him.

"Boom——!!!"

This time, it was no longer the distant tolling of bells.

Instead, it was a death knell filled with the meaning of destruction and end!

The terrifying sound waves transformed into tangible, visible golden ripples, spreading wildly in all directions.

"You all go ahead, I'll handle him."

[Time Ancestral Witch] Zhu Jiuyin gritted his teeth and revealed his true form as an ancestral witch—a human head and a dragon body, with straight eyes and a crimson body. When he closes his eyes, it is dark; when he opens them, it is bright.

His eyes opened and closed, and the light and darkness of the world changed. The sun and moon seemed to lose their luster, and the light and darkness of the world were now controlled by Zhu Jiuyin!
"open!"

Bright light shone in all directions, the universe was flawless, and the heavens were free from darkness. The Eastern Emperor was shrouded in a pure white world, and his magnificent power was momentarily blocked.

Even if it's just for a moment, that's enough!
"Kill, kill, kill!!"

Xingtian revealed his true form, standing tall and upright, like a miniature Pangu.

He swung the axe in his hand.

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar, unlike anything ever heard before, seemed to come from the very depths of the universe!

"It's now!"
