Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

"puff!!!"

Nuwa's body trembled violently, and purple-gold holy blood gushed from her mouth like a spring. She flew backward like a puppet with its strings cut.

The already dim, seven-colored glow surrounding her was completely extinguished at this moment.

Her clothes were tattered, her hair was disheveled, and her face was as pale as paper, but the resentment in her eyes remained burning fiercely.

But beneath that resentment lay a trace of fear that even she herself was unaware of...

This punch not only severely damaged her sacred body, but also unleashed a domineering and incomparable martial arts intent that, like a bone-deep infection, burrowed into her limbs and bones, frantically devouring her already damaged sacred foundation!

"Well......"

Nuwa grunted and tried to activate the source of creation to dispel the true essence of martial arts.

But as soon as he activated it, a tearing pain came from deep within his dantian!

The cracks in the Holy Foundation spread again, crawling like a spider web across the fragments of the Dao Fruit!

She staggered, almost falling from the void.

but......

This is not the end.

Just as Nuwa's body was sent flying backward and her mind was shaken violently.

That chaotic light... came rushing in.

Xuan Du had just used the Chaos Light to suppress the Four Saints, but one of the beams did not completely dissipate. Instead, it veered in mid-air and slammed down towards Nuwa!

Nuwa's pupils suddenly contracted!

Light of Chaos!

That is a terrifying existence that contains the origin of the Great Dao, and even the Four Saints must treat it with caution when they join forces!

If she were to be struck by this light... her damaged holy body and ruined holy foundation would probably shatter on the spot, and her soul would be destroyed!

"No!"

Nuwa roared inwardly, her eyes filled with despair that almost materialized.

She desperately channeled her remaining magical power, attempting to summon the Creation Stone to defend herself.

However, Xuan Du's punch just now had almost shattered her sacred body, and her magical power was stagnant like a swamp.

She could only watch helplessly as the chaotic light, like a celestial river, descended upon her... with overwhelming force!

Before the light arrived, the oppressive force had already descended.

Nuwa's surroundings solidified inch by inch, and even her thoughts seemed to be frozen.

She seemed to see her sacred body shatter, her Dao fruit completely annihilated, her true spirit falling into reincarnation... and even the tragic end of not being able to be saved by reincarnation.

Do you hate it?

hatred.

Do you regret it?

regret.

But it was all too late.

Nuwa slowly closed her eyes, preparing to face final annihilation.

However......

The anticipated excruciating pain and annihilation did not occur.

The chaotic light swept over her body, but instead of bringing destruction, it... took something away.

Nuwa felt her palm suddenly empty.

That priceless treasure, which was connected to her soul, accompanied her through billions of dollars, and which she never parted with even after her position as the Holy Mother was abolished... disappeared.

The Divine Stone of Creation!

Nuwa suddenly opened her eyes and looked down at her palm.

Empty.

That crimson-gold, cracked Creation Stone... is gone!

"What?!"

Nuwa's expression changed drastically, and she abruptly looked up at Xuandu.

In the center of the battlefield, Xuan Du stood alone amidst the chaotic halo, his green robes fluttering slightly, his gaze calm.

And in his right palm... he was holding a crimson-gold divine stone.

The stone was covered with cracks and its luster was dim, but the vast aura originating from the source of creation was still crystal clear.

It is indeed the Divine Stone of Creation!

"You...you actually stole my most precious treasure?!"

Nuwa screamed in terror, her voice distorted with shock and rage.

She never expected that Xuan Du's seemingly deadly Chaos Light... was not aimed at her, but at the Creation God Stone!

Treasure Hunt!

Not murder!

This sudden turn of events not only stunned Nuwa, but also caused Laozi, Yuanshi, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others who were in the distance, who were adjusting their breathing and preparing to join forces again, to change color!

"The Light of Chaos... it can actually knock away a Saint's innate treasure?!"

Lao Tzu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the illusory Tai Chi diagram in his palm trembled slightly.

The Creation Stone is Nuwa's most precious innate treasure, connected to her soul and integrated with her sacred path, and has long been a part of her sacred foundation.

Even though Nuwa's cultivation level has dropped and the power of this stone is reduced to less than one-tenth, it is still a sacred treasure containing the origin of creation. How could it be taken away by ordinary means?

But Xuan Du... did it.

With a gentle swipe of chaotic light, the Creation Stone was stripped from Nuwa's palm and fell into her own hand!

Such methods are simply unbelievable!

Upon witnessing this scene, the saints were greatly alarmed.

To seize the treasure without killing anyone... Xuan Du's actions clearly indicate he has ulterior motives!

Xuan Du stood alone in the chaotic halo, the crimson-gold Creation Stone in his palm slightly warm, with faint flowing light swirling within its cracks, as if unwilling to be separated from its former master, yet suppressed by an even more powerful chaotic Dao rhythm, gradually falling silent.

He didn't look at Nuwa's resentful and twisted face, nor did he pay attention to the astonished and uncertain gazes of the four sages in the distance; he simply slowly closed his five fingers.

"Buzz!"

The Creation Stone silently entered his palm and sank along the meridians into the depths of his Purple Mansion.

Within the Purple Mansion, the Chaos Pearl floated quietly, its body shimmering with light. Sensing the aura of the Creation Stone, it trembled slightly.

Then a wisp of chaotic energy surged from the crack, slowly enveloping and drawing the divine stone, eventually suspending it beside the Chaos Pearl, facing the martial arts origin rune from afar.

The crimson-gold origin of creation and the chaotic martial arts essence resonated faintly, and although they had not yet merged, they had already established a subtle connection.

"It's done."

Xuan Du murmured to himself, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing deep in his eyes.

The Divine Stone of Creation.

Nuwa's innate treasure contains the supreme origin of creation and is even more so... the object used to mend the sky in the future!

He had anticipated this.

In the final battle between the Lich King and the Demon King, Mount Buzhou collapsed, the sky tilted to the northwest, the earth sank to the southeast, the Milky Way overflowed, and all living beings in the primordial world suffered terribly.

That is the end of countless eons, and also... the beginning of immeasurable merit!

Nuwa used the Creation Stone to refine five-colored stones to mend the sky, which earned her the approval of the Heavenly Dao, boundless merit, and solidified her holy position, making her revered by all spirits.

That was her destiny, her luck.

But now...

Xuan Du's lips curled into a very faint smile.

With the divine stone in hand, the merit of mending the heavens... is already largely secured!

not to mention......

The Black Tortoise of the North Sea, as a primordial being that existed since the beginning of time, carries the most powerful primordial energy and contains immeasurable earth elemental essence.

It is also the foundation for the future... supporting the four corners of the sky!

The black tortoise, with its four legs supporting the heavens and earth, was able to mend the sky perfectly.

This is also a great merit.

And now...

The Black Tortoise of the North Sea was invited by him to join the Jie Sect a hundred years ago and become a protector of the Jie Sect!

What does this mean?

This means that the merits that will support the four corners of the sky in the future... have already fallen into the hands of the Jie Sect!

With the stone for mending the sky in hand, and the tortoise supporting the heavens in charge of teaching.

The two greatest acts of merit in mending the heavens have both been pre-booked by the Jie Sect!

This is Xuan Du's third purpose in appearing this time, besides settling scores with Yuan Shi and helping the Wu Clan break the deadlock!

To seize the Creation Stone, to cut off Nuwa's path to mending the sky, and to completely steal this immense merit...
