Primordial Era: Mistakenly Taking Emperor Xin as Father, Nuwa is Destroyed at the Start

Chapter 18 Seven Steps Against the Dragon! The Majesty of the Gods Comes from Man! Nuwa is dumbfounded, are they all from Tongtian Qian? [Two-in-One]

When Di Xin looked up, the murderous intent in his eyes had not diminished at all.

Stared at by that gaze, Ao Qing felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have cared.

But having just witnessed Di Xin's methods, he was also feeling uneasy.

Thinking this, Ao Qing's tone softened a bit:

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Feng Yi has made a mistake and suffered enough. Besides, he is, after all, a god, and one should still maintain some divine dignity, shouldn't one? How can you torture him in broad daylight? Perhaps it would be best if we could each take a step back? What do you think?"

Di Xin sneered: "Divine majesty? A step back? If a god doesn't protect people, from the moment he begins to harm them, he has no majesty to speak of!"

Before he finished speaking, Di Xin activated the burning treasure once again.

In front of Ao Qing, they were going to refine Feng Yi to death.

boom!

Humanity's fortune surged suddenly, and Emperor Xin's entire body began to glow.

Ao Qing was truly enraged now, his pride utterly shattered.

"Very well! Well then, don't blame me for being impolite!"

With a sway of his dragon body, dark clouds immediately rolled in the direction of the Ji River, accompanied by lightning and thunder!

A torrential downpour appeared out of nowhere and rushed straight towards Chaoge City!

"Chaoge! I'll drown you!"

"Chaoge City, is this a place where you can run wild?!"

Huang Feihu glared and was about to rush forward.

However, I was also a little uneasy.

After all, he wasn't at the level of Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, so he was still a little apprehensive about facing such a dragon king.

However, given the current situation...

No matter how apprehensive he was, he had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.

Thinking this, his eyes were filled with sharpness.

But he had only just gotten up.

"Step back!"

With a low shout, Di Xin moved first.

His body surged with the aura of a human emperor, and he took a step forward!

boom!

The entire execution ground trembled!

A terrifying force specifically targeting the dragon race has locked onto Ao Qing.

Step two!

Ao Qing felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his dragon blood surged!

third step!

His massive dragon body suddenly sank in mid-air!

Step 4!

Ao Qing was horrified to discover that his power was rapidly dissipating!

Step 5!

"Wow!"

He could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of scalding dragon blood!

Step 6!

Ao Qing felt as if he was being torn apart by an invisible force!

Step seven, land!

"Awooo—!!!"

A deafening dragon roar echoed through the heavens!

Ao Qing's protective divine light shattered completely, and several of his dragon scales cracked open!

A wave of overwhelming fear instantly engulfed Ao Qing.

Forget about saving face, forget about the majesty of the Heavenly Court's righteous gods!

He just wanted to live!

"escape!"

Ao Qing had only one thought left in his mind.

He endured the excruciating pain of his primordial energy shattering, flicked his dragon tail, transformed into a dim blue light, and fled desperately towards Ji Shui's lair without looking back!

That speed was more than ten times faster than when it came!

It disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The execution ground was deathly silent.

The people who were just terrified were now gaping, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

They looked at the dragon shadow that had disappeared in the sky, and then at the human emperor on the execution platform, who was glowing all over and looked like a god descending to earth.

"The... the Dragon King... ran away?"

"They were... driven away by His Majesty?"

"My God..."

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!!"

After a brief silence, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted!

All the people knelt down excitedly and kowtowed frantically to Di Xin!

His face was filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster and boundless worship of the Emperor!

And they worshipped.

Inside the Nuwa Palace.

The jade cup in Nuwa's hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered into pieces.

For the first time, a look of near-dumbfounded shock appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

Di Xin... how could he?

How could he possibly possess supernatural powers?

How could he possibly drive away the Dragon King?

That is a righteous god protected by the Heavenly Way!

This was completely beyond her comprehension.

Her face turned extremely pale.

This is utterly disrespectful to the Heavenly Court and to the dignity of the Sages!

What alarmed her even more was the power that Di Xin displayed.

That is something that even the Human Emperor could not possess!

"Behind Emperor Xin... there must be a mastermind!"

Nuwa's eyes were cold.

She forced herself to calm down and began to think of a solution.

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, even sages cannot easily intervene personally.

This is an ironclad rule.

But given the current situation, it is essential to understand who Di Xin is relying on.

Otherwise, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods will completely spiral out of control.

She suddenly remembered the chess pieces she had laid out.

"Oh, right, the nine-tailed fox!"

Nuwa was greatly encouraged.

The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb were the key to her sending them to bewitch Chaoge and ruin Emperor Xin's fortune.

The nine-tailed fox, in particular, had already infiltrated the palace and transformed into Su Daji.

She was right next to Di Xin!

She must know something!

Nuwa immediately closed her eyes and concentrated, attempting to communicate with the nine-tailed fox through the hidden mark left in her soul.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, immediately report to me in detail about Emperor Xin's recent unusual behavior, especially today's events!"

The command has been issued.

Nuwa waited.

however.

Time passed little by little.

Like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

No response.

Nuwa's heart sank.

What happened?

She strengthened her spiritual power and called out again.

"A nine-tailed fox? I heard a reply!"

Still silent.

Nuwa's expression changed completely.

"A nine-tailed fox? I heard a reply!"

Still silent.

Nuwa's expression changed completely.

Instead of trying to communicate, she directly activated the mark left in the nine-tailed fox's soul, attempting to forcibly sense its state.

Divine senses surged forth like a tide, spreading along that unseen connection...

next moment!

Nuwa's body trembled violently!

She suddenly opened her eyes!

Those beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment!

"Dead?!"

She gasped softly.

Just now, she clearly sensed with her divine sense that the mark belonging to the nine-tailed fox had completely disappeared!

It vanished completely!

What does this mean?

This means that the divine soul entrusted to that mark has been completely annihilated!

But how could that be?

She had only been sent out for a short time, so who could silently kill a thousand-year-old demon in Chaoge?

Nuwa's emotions were churning violently.

She immediately recalled the extremely faint residual information that the mark had transmitted before it finally dissipated.

The information was too vague to be easily deciphered.

Nuwa concentrated all her energy, channeling her saintly power to its limit, and forcefully captured that last trace.

at last!

A fleeting yet incredibly clear image flashed through her mind!

That was an indescribable sword light!

purely!

concise!

Extremely fast!

It's as if it transcends the boundaries of time and space!

It carries a terrifying will that can annihilate everything and destroy nothing!

The sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The image then shattered.

But the lingering sharpness of that sword intent made even the saint Nuwa feel a slight unease!

She savored the aura of that sword light.

Pure and utterly brutal killing!

A sharp and unparalleled edge!

And that will to sever everything and annihilate all laws...

In the primordial world, how many people could cultivate the way of the sword to such a level?

A name instantly popped into Nuwa's mind.

She stood up abruptly, her face covered in frost.

"Reaching for the heavens!"

Nuwa's voice was icy cold, filled with barely suppressed rage.

"Excellent! What a sage of Shangqing! What a leader of the Jie Sect!"

"So it was you!"

"It was you who secretly intervened, protecting Di Xin and helping him defy the heavens!"

"You killed my nine-tailed fox and ruined my grand plan to become a god!"

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

Only the Tongtian Sect Leader possesses such earth-shattering swordsmanship!

Only he has the motive and ability to disrupt the Investiture of the Gods and oppose the arrangements of the other saints!

"You bastard! How dare you do this!"

"This matter must not be left unresolved!"

Nuwa gritted her teeth and stood up abruptly.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

Seeing her like this, Fuxi was also startled and quickly asked her what was wrong.

"What else can we do? Of course, we should go find the leader of the Jie Sect and ask him directly!"

She must go find Tongtian!

We must ask them directly to get to the bottom of this!

We must demand an explanation for the death of the Nine-Tailed Fox and the disruption of the Investiture of the Gods plan!

Nuwa gritted her teeth and said, "Forgive me for saying this," before her figure flashed and disappeared directly from Nuwa Palace.

A holy beam of light, carrying boundless rage, tore through the void and sped toward Jin'ao Island in the East Sea!

……

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Master of the Heavenly Sect was closing his eyes and wandering in his mind, comprehending the Great Dao.

Suddenly, he sensed something and abruptly opened his eyes.

A familiar, angry aura of a saint is tearing through the void, heading straight for Jin'ao Island!

"Nuwa?" Tongtian frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. "Why did she come here so angrily?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when a holy beam of light suddenly descended outside Biyou Palace.

The light faded, revealing the figure of the goddess Nuwa.

Her stunningly beautiful face was covered with frost, and her eyes stared coldly at the palace gate.

The Tongtian Sect Leader flashed and appeared in front of the palace gate. He was even more bewildered when he saw Nuwa's accusing look.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, what's wrong with you...?"

The Master of Heaven hadn't finished speaking.

Nuwa interrupted him directly, her voice as cold as ice:

"Tongtian! Look what you've done!"

The Master of Heaven looked completely bewildered:

"Huh? What did I do?"

"Keep pretending! Keep pretending!"

Nuwa, enraged, laughed coldly. "I ask you, did you secretly intervene and protect Di Xin? Did you slay my nine-tailed fox? Did you bestow upon him the cruel torture of branding with hot irons, helping Di Xin slaughter the righteous gods of Heaven?!"

This series of questions completely baffled the Tongtian Sect Leader.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape—he looked like a walking meme: Who am I? Where am I? What is she saying?

"Wait! Wait!"

The Master of Heaven quickly waved his hand, his face showing a mixture of innocence and shock.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, slow down! What do you mean by protecting Di Xin? What do you mean by slaying the Nine-Tailed Fox? What do you mean by the torture device of branding? I have no idea what you're talking about! Tongtian acts with integrity and uprightness. If I had truly done it, why would I deny it?"

"Don't know?" Nuwa sneered, clearly disbelieving. "Fine! Then I'll show you the evidence!"

With a wave of her hand, a mysterious mirror instantly unfolded in front of the two of them.

The mirror clearly replayed the astonishing sword light captured just before the nine-tailed fox's soul imprint dissipated!

Pure! Concise! Almost at its peak!

With a terrifying will to annihilate everything and destroy nothing!

The fleeting image of the sword light was clearly reflected in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The bewilderment on his face was instantly replaced by shock.

"This...this sword intent?!"

The voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader was filled with disbelief.

"How pure and fierce! The sharpness of its edge is actually... it even shows a tendency to surpass the true essence of the Intercepting Sect's swordsmanship?!"

When did such a swordsmanship prodigy emerge in the primordial world?

No, this is simply... simply an ultimate sword born for slaughter!

He was completely captivated by the sword light, even temporarily forgetting Nuwa's question. His eyes gleamed with the excitement of a predator, and he muttered to himself:

"This sword intent... it's too pure! Too domineering! Who was it? Who on earth unleashed this sword strike?"

Seeing his genuine shock and hearing his high praise of the sword light, which even hinted at surpassing the swordsmanship of the Jie Sect, Nuwa's anger and doubts began to waver.

"Hmph! You're quite the actor!"

Although Nuwa remained firm in her words, her tone was no longer as certain as before.

"Besides you, the Sage of Shangqing, who else in the primordial world could unleash such a sword strike? Who else could conceal the secrets of heaven, deceive the deductions of us sages, stir up trouble behind the scenes, and help Emperor Xin defy the heavens?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader finally snapped out of his shock at the sword light, his face a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Junior Sister Nuwa! I, Tongtian, swear to the Heavenly Dao! This matter truly has nothing to do with me! If I were involved, why would I need to hide like this? If I wanted to help Emperor Xin, I would simply set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation! Why would I need to sneak around and kill a fox like you?"

"Furthermore, I have been in seclusion on Jin'ao Island all this time, and have never left my post! My disciples can all testify to this!"

As if to confirm his words, three streams of light flew out from Biyou Palace and landed behind Tongtian Jiaozhu. They were the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds—Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

When the three women saw that Goddess Nuwa's expression was unfriendly and heard their master's words, they immediately understood what was going on.

The eldest sister, Yunxiao, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the Goddess Nuwa, her tone resolute:

"Uncle Nuwa, you are wise to witness. Your disciples Yunxiao (Qiongxiao, Bixiao) can testify that our master has indeed been in seclusion on Jin'ao Island for some time now, and has never left Biyou Palace. We sisters have been serving him here every day, and there is absolutely no falsehood in our words!"

Qiongxiao and Bixiao quickly nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Uncle-Master, we've been staying with Master all along!"

The Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao had an excellent reputation in the prehistoric world, especially Yunxiao, who was always steady and dignified, and her words carried great weight.

Nuwa looked at the earnest and determined expressions of the Three Immortal Maidens, then at the Tongtian Sect Leader's "more wronged than Dou E" expression, and recalled the heartfelt shock and admiration Tongtian had shown when he saw the sword light...

She was silent.

The anger in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a deeper sense of confusion and bewilderment.

If it's not Tongtian... then who could it be?

Where did Di Xin's power come from?

All of this seemed shrouded in a thick fog, completely beyond her expectations.

Seeing the anger on Nuwa's face subside and turn into deep confusion, Tongtian Jiaozhu also breathed a sigh of relief and regained his calm expression.

He slowly said, "Junior Sister Nuwa, you have seen it yourself. This matter was indeed not my doing. The Investiture of the Gods calamity was simply the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, filled with calamity energy and chaotic secrets. If everything could be easily discerned by us saints, what kind of 'calamity' would it be?"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa glanced at Tongtian with a complicated expression, but ultimately said nothing more.

His figure transformed into a streak of holy light and vanished instantly above Jin'ao Island.

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

Watching Nuwa leave, the three Xiao sisters all breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiongxiao patted her chest: "That scared me to death! Aunt Nuwa looked so fierce just now."

Bixiao chimed in, "That's right, Master! You almost got blamed!"

Yunxiao, however, remained calm and looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu: "Master, Aunt Nuwa... seems to have truly misunderstood. However, that sword light..."

The Tongtian Sect Leader did not answer immediately, but stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently in the direction of Chaoge City, as if trying to pierce through the layers of space and the pervasive aura of calamity.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, his tone no longer carrying the previous grievance, but instead carrying an indescribable... curiosity?

"That sword light... was indeed powerful."

The voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader was deep and resonant.

"Incomparably sharp and fierce, its killing intent is pure to the extreme... it even faintly touches the edge of the 'Dao'. In the primordial world, someone can actually cultivate such sword intent? Interesting, truly interesting!"

A glint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

"I really wish I could go to Chaoge City myself. I'd like to see who this person is who has stirred up such a storm, causing even Junior Sister Nuwa to lose her composure, and who can unleash such a sword strike... just who is this!"

Upon hearing this, the three sisters of Sanxiao were immediately shocked!

Yunxiao immediately stepped forward to dissuade him: "Master, you mustn't!"

Qiongxiao also said anxiously, "Yes, Master! The Investiture of the Gods has already begun, and the aura of calamity is pervasive, making it extremely dangerous! Chaoge City is a place where the human destiny converges, and the entanglements of cause and effect are the deepest! As a saint, if you go there in person, you could easily trigger boundless karma, and might even prematurely detonate the calamity, with unimaginable consequences!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned slightly; he naturally knew that his disciples were right.

It is indeed a great taboo for a sage to personally visit the epicenter of a calamity.

He glanced at his three anxious-looking apprentices.

At this moment, Yunxiao spoke again, his tone solemn and firm:

"If Master wishes to investigate this matter, your disciple Yunxiao is willing to travel to the vicinity of Chaoge City in your stead! My cultivation is decent, and I act cautiously, so I will not attract attention. I will investigate carefully and do my best to uncover the recent anomalies in Chaoge City, especially the clues about the owner of that sword light, and report back to Master!"

"Please grant me permission, Master!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at his most composed eldest disciple, then glanced in the direction of Chaoge, and pondered for a moment.

Finally, he slowly nodded.

"Very well. Yunxiao, I'll leave this matter to you. Be sure to act cautiously and prioritize safety. If you discover anything, send a message back immediately, and don't be reckless."

"Your disciple obeys!"

Yunxiao bowed and accepted the order. As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the outskirts of Chaoge City.
